Just install Power Amp or similar and play with the equaliser. You'll find it eventually but, in looking, I'm sure you'll find settings that sound far better (unless you're tone deaf of course).

Can anyone assist? Any luck with installing bass beats on LG G2 from package or running system, instead of having it installed with system ?

Any news here ?

If you are rooted the best sound mod I have personally seen is Viper4Android... Amazing software that gives you the ability to adjust just as you want ....
If you aren't rooted then the only option you have is to install another app like Poweramp or another music player with built in good equalizer

Not really. Unless you can't afford.
I had previously HTC Sensation XE and the sound was amazing when I connected
my Sennheizer headphones.
Now on LG G2 sound is
No matter what I install, including viper and other equalizers I cannot get the same sound as I had on HTC with Beats.
There must be here someone was compiled a rom with beats in it... Where to take it from ?

Ugh... All beats products are terrible. Both software and hardware.
If you want the beats sound signature on your lg phone, then just use viper and tune it for bass and make it drown out all mids and you got it.

this.
in the audio world, Bose stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment. They make high quality, proprietary audio equipment that's not compatible with other systems, and that is extremely overpriced. Their headphones and speakers are quality products, but you pay way too much for them.
Monster Cable makes overpriced audio cables. They are quality cables, but often needlessly so. there's absolutely no reason to buy a $100 hdmi cable. ever.
Beats by Dre is a combination of the two. Their headphones and speakers are of medium quality, tuned for deafening bass and terrible mids and highs, and sold at Bose prices. Their HTC Boom Sound software crap adjusts your phone's sound profile to match their ****ty headphones.
I would consider going deaf before using any Beats products.

Regarding viper 4 sound, I have no experience. however if the software requires root you may need to ensure the app is approved for root access in SuperUser or SuperSU. otherwise it will not have root access and will not be able to make any changes to the android system (ie it won't work)

I have done few tests and on my rooted LG G2, neither Bass Beats nor Viper works. This is strange. The only time I was able to get a good quality sound and equalizer was on Rayglobe 4.0 rom but the rom was unstable...

If you use poweramp then you have to didable the equalizer. I thought it wasn't working either till i read some more of the thread.

Hmmm... but when I don't have the euqalizer in PowerAmp then sound quality is rubbish...
Also, when I go to Viper4Android and click driver status is shows that tit's not processing the sound...
But I am happy to try. Pls can you describe in steps how you managed to have it working ?

Did you turn on musicfx in poweramp and disabled direct conrol , tone .
This seemed to do the trick for me (for viper4a)

I don't have that option. When I install V4A and Beats the standard music player on LG G2 with 4.4.2 activates it and it works.
Power Amp on LG G2 does not. I guess this is how I should start this thread but I just realised now. When I was using power amp on HTC with beats I had a button for Beats and SRS. No such thing in kit Kat for LG...
Is there a file or option in Android that I could modify and add power amp as a player ? The system must know when to activate sound processing when a music or movie player starts, but power amp does not activate it/is not on that list I guess...

Viper4android is actually a universal sound mod
So if it is activated any sound coming out of the phone will be altered by it , be it music or youtube video or anything else for that matter..
But since poweramp has its own equalizer you'll have to disable that and select viper4a in MusicFX in Tone/vol section
Btw which rom are you on? Because it worked for me on stock and cloudyflex but not on mahdi (viper4a doesnt affect poweramp)

Warms 2.3

Who would like to see this running stock? Or who would like this to be as senseless as possible and still run beats audio with Miui launcher?

What? 2 posts and neither make sense what exactly are you asking? Beats requires hardware to fully function you only get partial functionality with the Beats app and a beats enabled kernel, for true beats you need a beats enabled audio processor along with the software and it's overrated unless you listen to alot of rap/hip-hop r&b or pop, rock doesn't sound that great on it I have a laptop with a beats audio processor, beats speakers and beats headphones, sounds great when I listen to rap/r&b but southern rock and metal sound like total crap and way over bassed
We are legion, for we are many.
What I am getting at is gutting as much as you can of sense and leaving whats required for beats to work and you are mistaken because beats works on warm 2.3 you can enable and disable and difference is night and day? I apologize for any confusion. Also by stock I mean the way it was released to us. That should have been obvious.

That's more or less what I did but I feel like someone who is more familiar with dissection a rom would be able to remove all the unnecessary apks. That and miui rom and launcher differ quit alot I would want as much miui integrated. basically a hybrid sense aosp of some sorts

Omg beats requires hardware as well as software for full functionality you can get the same effect as beats on an evo4g with proper eq settings trust me beats on the evo4g doesn't sound anything like the real deal real beats with hardware sounds like a studio with huge subwoofers trust me my laptop was close to 2grand and my headphones were 185 I know what real beats sounds like personally I wish I had bought the Bose audio driver laptop and the Bose noise cancelling headphones instead cuz I don't even use the beats that much I ususally use winamp pro with custom eq settings to listen to a mix of music I only turn on beats when I'm listening to all rap/r&b
We are legion, for we are many.
http://www.dshack.net/2011/10/what-the-heck-is-beats-audio.html
That page has images of what the beats "audio processor" does. Basically it's an eq, with good marketing. It's all going to depend on the quality of the headphones you are using also. You can create similar results using any eq. But as Evil said, true beats requires hardware and kernel support our evos do not have. Would you like some tips on recreating the beats sound with any eq?
Edit: Google the equal loudness curve. It's an eq setting most people find quite pleasing.
And remember people your audio is only going to be as good as your cheapest or crappiest piece in the system. I.e. $5000 speakers through a $500 amp or cheap ass cables won't sound like$5000 speakers.

[Q] Music volume is so low!!! Help?

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help

Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:
dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume
Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.
I give it try thanks a lot

Haha told ya! :laugh:
What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.

Increase volume?

Is there anything that can increase the volume?
I have tried "Volume+" and other apps but they don't work.

Not only does the FX app have the ability to increase onboard speaker volume it is also an excellent audio tweaking app with equaliser etc.

Yea, it just installs as an app and when you open it, it installs the drivers itself. Being able to increase onboard speaker volume is a big plus for me too.
Oh awesome. I never was able to get it working before because of how complicated the mod was. If it is that easy now then I will be switching to it.

Yea, it actually couldn't be easier.
I installed it on my phone and it was saying that I didn't have Busybox installed, but I did. I got round it by installing the previous version of Busybox. Don't know what that was about but just a heads up for you.
Nice find! Thanks.
I've tried a few eq apps and mods and the improvements were marginal or worse. I'll give this a shot.
Unfortunately I do not see an option to enhance the speaker output after installing the Xhifi version (only for Headset and Bluetooth). So it looks like I am back to King BeatZ since I mainly use the speakers for things.
You need to install the FX version, not the xhifi one. Xhifi is only for headphones and hands-free device.
After installing the FX audio mod make sure to set it to compatibility mode if you don't notice any difference, at first.
Hope this helps!
Ya but I dont want the FX. That is mainly for as it says, FX on the audio. It does not try to restore lost audio quality from compression and such.

More bass through earphones?

I've got my G2 for a few days now, on my previous phone, the One X, there was a mod I would flash that would add a equalizer menu to the music player.
It was great, you could choose from various presets or choose your own and one of them had insane bass that sounded amazing with DNB. Problem is I can't find any such thing, App or mod for my G2. The stock Music EQ just doesn't cut it and the equalizers I tried from the playstore don't even work for me :s
Viper4android is what you need, see this thread:

How hard will super quality eat my battery? It said something about drain.
It's all relative, but to me it's worth having better audio at the expense of a little extra battery usage. I'm coming from a galaxy nexus so anything over 2 hours (screen on) of battery life is gravy...

oops sorry, no restore function at the moment
a nandroid or backup is recommended. alternatively if u have rootexplorer or the like, backup or rename the system/libs/soundfx folder and system/etc/audio_effects.conf prior to install
updated with v2. would like some feedback to see if its working for others or whether its just placebo
@ dead0, OK I will give it a shot. Didn't notice anything changing with first build.
A few things to consider. I am always looking for good sound filters. I currently rate viperaudio fx newest with altering the audio.XML file in etc folder the best. (Volumeboost.zip in screenshot is by Audigod of SOKP Rom), Followed by Noozy player with Dolby Mobile and Noozoxide Pro and Beats Audio mod.
The filters are a mod and boosting sound volume values inside system seem to be the best way to go.
What does this mod of yours consist of?
Just filters or a updater script also to actually boost audio? Thanks!
