Google play music on my N7 now has an equalizer in the settings. It's basic but better than nothing.
Checked if my LG G3 had the setting and it doesn't, guess its a lollipop thing for now.
eh? This has always been there, unless I suppose it was my custom ROM that allowed it before? Every one of my devices has an EQ in Google Music.

Hmm, this is the first time I've noticed it, and it's not on my G3.
Yup, it's been there for a while. I've had it since at least KK.
Hmm, I haven't noticed on my N7, but it is definitely missing on my HTC One M8

Just curious to see what everyone's running. I was using Google play Music until it started disorganizing my music a couple days ago in ABC order instead of actual tracklist order. So now I use nice player! What do you guys use?

I mainly use google play music because I have most of my music stored on the cloud, but for local I used to use PowerAmp which was awesome and sometimes I use Maple - it has some really cool features like pitch and speed adjustment.
but I think theres already a thread on this somewhere, in the apps section so you should probably look there
I hate how Google Play music makes it so hard just to get to the All Songs list. I think it requires at least three or four button presses, which I might be doing wrong but it's annoying to do if it really is that way.

I agree with this. I wish Google made the music app similar to those in TouchWiz or Sony xperias. Although I don't like the UI of Play Music, I'm kind of forced to use it due the N4's limited storage and Play's free song upload feature.

It's either been locked or disappeared forever, like this thread will be.
Shuttle+ is the best on my opinion, design, options and functions.
There is a thread made in themes and app section for all you guys.. It will help you all for knowing yhe various Music app people use..:good:
I use power amp and think it's totally worth the money. And yeah what other people said, there's a thread about this in the themes and apps forum where you can read about it there.
I personally went with power amp because the other media players annoyed me with the wrong album art work and would display the same artwork for all songs even though the artwork was completely irrelevant

Play Music. its simple and doesnt eat a lot of battery compare to 3rd part music apps -_-.
Play Music + Viper4android as my equalizer. Doesn't eat a lot of battery and it makes your 10 in ear earphones sound like Hi-end headphones.
I use Google Play Music now since I subscribed to All Access. But if I was using local files I'd be using PowerAmp.
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:

Going to try right away, thanks!
EDIT: Holy ****, this unreal, thanks a lot dude!
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...
OKAY, I have the phone with GPE Conversion. Which is pretty much perfect in terms of what I want.
But I seem to have run out of things to play with which as most of you will know is not a good thing. I have had another play with the S4, S3 and Nexus 4 but this is my daily driver and I want to play.
I WON'T go to sense as there is too much about GPE I like. (Full GN implementation, Search Dialler , lack of sense etc)
I have Xposed with boot manager, Gravity, Xposed Gel, Xuimod and Youtube.
My big thing is music. I have Poweramp, N7 and Neutron installed and I only play FLAC. Not interested in Harman Kardon as better sound is gained by the right EQ/Gain etc settings and using lossless files.
I have messed with kernels but stock GPE does all I need it to and I get no visible improvement with those 'others'
Normally I would buy another phone but funds won't allow that right now so I am simply asking, does anyone have any serious suggestions of things to try with GPE that will allow me to tweak/play/mod?
I am hoping I haven't reached my Android Utopia as my inner "phone fiddler" mentality is craving.
I spent a couple days testing out different equalizers as I wasn't satisfied with the built in one and spoiled by viper.
This is the best one I've found and I thought I'd share.
Equalizer and Bass Booster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=music.bassbooster.equalizer
Music player of choice: black player, poweramp, stellio(best ui IMO)
Side note: Check out the Veva s220 headphones for better sound than beats and heavier bass!! They are cheap and the battery lasts longer than any Bluetooth headphones over ever had. Bose, Beats and others I've owned over the years don't come close. They're on Amazon.com.
Thanks for sharing! I'm rooted right now rocking Viper but very well may flash back to stock again soon. Gonna need something like this LOL

Rooted on Note7 or something else. Viper is literally the ONLY reason rooting matters to me.... I would kill for a non root fix.
I tried this and it is like the others for me. There just doesn't seem to be a replacement for Viper. All these EQ's do the same thing for me. If you turn up the base for example, it muffles or turns down the treble. It is like it is robbing from one to give to the other instead of just turning up the band you are trying to adjust.
Thanks for sharing though, the UI is nice and simple.
I just downloaded Poweramp Pro again and used it to play some saved music. Its EQ works like Viper and doesn't suffer from the same issue I talked about above. It will be great for saved music but I listen to a lot of streamed music from Google Play Music and some Pandora.

What's up @chipworkz.. last seen OK on the n5.
Hope life has been treating you well.
I agree after using my n7, viper is truly a need for this phone. And the play sound from the earpiece mod that @SashhaFranko made. I am hoping a more stable method of root is achieved, seems buggy for now. Check ya later.

Rooted on Note 7. Using the leaked Sprint firmware. It's not that bad really. No WiFi Calling or VoLTE (can live without personally). And of course no Samsung Pay or Android Pay. Everything else seems pretty decent thus far.

Do you have to do any modifications to keep the phone running smooth? Like the S7 edge. Phone would get locked into a bootloop every week or 2

Hard to say. Only been running that leaked firmware since Saturday night but it's been pretty stable/smooth for me thus far. I never had an S7 or S7 Edge but from what I'm reading this leak/root is better than what they were facing.
First let me say there is currently no replacement for Viper for non root devices. Nothing comes close. It's the only reason I've rooted after the Note 2. Would be great if Google purchased them and applied Viper directly to Android.
I prefer a EQ app that can be used for ALL sound sources that can be played by Android. To that end, I've used Equalizer for those times when I couldn't install Viper.
Im using the alpha version of poweramp with 24 bit enabled sounds like viper too when activated

That app just uses the built in eq, adding some presets to it. Unfortunately there is no replacement for Viper.

Sorry to be off-topic but quick question. Can you root to do modification to the system (edit host file for ad-blocking, edit CSC to enable features, edit media folder to delete tmobile boot and samsung smileys) then unroot and keep Samsung Pay and volte wifi calling etc?

Hi guys, i just got a lg g6 and discovered it doesnt has a native equalizer. What is a good equalizer to download and use with the G6 without rooting it. I download the "equalizer pro" from google play, it looks to work (even has amp) but i wonder if there's something better.

I'm in the same boat. It's disappointing LG doesn't' include a native or global equalizer. It's hit or miss trying to find one that works and not cutting out and quit working. I have troubles with them on my Nexus 7 and the HTC One M7 i used to have. The 3rd party one's aren't always reliable. and definitely don't sound as good as poweramp. I cam from a Galaxy S7 and it had a nice EQ app on it. It's a shame samsung has all curved screens. I would go back to Samsung because of the EQ, great selection of themes for the native theme app, and a more reliable camera.

Try the Equalizer from the "Smart Android Apps, LLC". It's on the google play. It looks to work well here. Buy the unlocked version and try out. If you don't like, just refund it. Come back later with the results. I'm enjoying it

That's the one of ones that won't work on my Nexus 7 anymore. When I used it on the one m7 it only worked half the time. I didn't bother with it on the G6.

From dvednua?
I switched recently from VLC to Poweramp pro. Well worth the $3.99 imho. That is, if you want a media player as well. The equalizer is ten band and has a powerful preamp and bass/treble boost . The sound over bluetooth with the built in aptX HD is excellent, I thought VLC was good but Poweramp blows it away. Plus it doesn't have much of an impact on the battery when playing music in the car.

Works also for me and has no always on notification (only during playing music). I needed to disable "Global audio output mix" to get it running after reboot.
I'm still hesitate to root to install Viper4Android (that I usually use on my other devices). Except I want to know before if root disable the OTA of the system.
Best so far with no root

I just downloaded the app from mediafire and unzipped the file. It installed then automatically updated the app. I have a Verizon G6, so maybe that is the difference. I also have my developer options turned on. I wish I could give you more information, but I am not that technically proficient with Android.
Update..
Tried it again and it would not update without root access. The program loads but doesn't work. Sorry, should have tried before posting.
Just stumbled across this, i dont know if you're still looking for it, but I've found that the Cyanogen Audio FX works just fine for most applications. You can get it without root via the Appstore, there's an app called "Cyanogen Apps", which offers you every Cyanogen Specific app to download and install. It is 100% safe and I've used it on many phones so far without root. One downside however is that it sometimes takes a while to catch up if you switch songs manually. Also, you will need to fiddle a bit with your battery saver settings as they are likely to kill the app when it is idle for a short amount of time (which happens after switching manually). It offers great bass boost settings as well as a virtualizer (which im not a fan of) and basic controls, i. E. 5 frequency settings, similar to the built in equalizer which only works for the native music app. Sound quality stays similar and unless you are using 600 dollar studio equipment, you will not hear a drop in quality.
