I personally didn't think beats was all that great but alot of users like it so i made this flashable version for my rom. Figure everyone else would enjoy it as well. It does replace some files though such as services.jar and framework.jar. I have only tested it with my rom but it should work with any rom but i suggest making a nandroid backup just in case.
This is the full beats with icons and eveything
Now with HotSpot working (Thanks Leoisright)
Sense Roms ONLY
Anyways just flash it in recovery and enjoy
Now has universal updater-script so it can be flashed on any device But probably will not work so try at your own risk !!
A few have reported that it flashes on other devices and it boots so it may just work on some.
This is developed for the Evo 3D it is on the portal and because of my title it says for ANY Sense rom but it was made for the 3d. but if you want to try it on other devices i strongly recommend a nandroid backup before testing. I'll be looking into the possibility of multiple devices soon. Sorry for the confusion..
If you are getting FC with Music try the FC-FIX and see if it works and post if it did or not. I am trying to figure out what the problem is

I'm currently running gingeritis 3D and Chingy ported this over in his ROM, now I hear a slight difference but i assume by HTC it was made to best be heard using beats earphones/headphones. Have you tried this and confirmed it working?
Yeah. most are saying its best used with Beats headphones. But those already have amplified bass. So I dunno if they are just thinking it works better or not.
I cant flash it on my phone (well not yet at least) the stock music player wont load on my. I broke it somehow. . I do however own a set of very nice headphones that are better audio quality than 'Beats' but cant test the new audio stuff yet... Would be nice to get a little deeper bass with stock music app (once I reflash a clean ROM)
What difference did you notice?

a very slight difference on stock ported gingeritis, but when time permits I'll make a backup and flash this and test it out. Hope someone has tried or is trying this and keep us informed, I also read from adrynalyne that 95% of the beats ports where fake so...I'm not sure if this on a software level or if this includes hardware.
Most people commenting in the original thread are saying they hear a difference. But it might be all in their head.
As far as trying this out, he stated this was is based off desire HD roms because of the sense 3.0. And Im pretty sure our roms are also based off the Desire HD rom for the sense 3.0. So theoretically it should work... but we all know how well those go... Hense all the warnings i put in the OP.
All it is is some compression and.altered eq...maybe a bit of gain....on a pair of studio monitors it.makes everything sound ****ty but for a pair of cheapo headphones it might have some benefit, I also noticed it accentuated audio clicks, glitches, things that overshadow the whole objective of the app/dsp in the first place.

Go to the software part, it tells you pretty much what "beats audio" does to the output. That being said, I have a pair of beats pro's and *maybe* noticed a tiny difference at the most. Most likely all this does is take the stock EQ and bump it up in certain places, if it actually does anything at all.
No go on synergy r267. Shows install went ok. Cleared davlik and cache.

that made me LOL. Beats optimized output device...? So... over priced headphones?
I tried the beat mod on chingys Gingeritis. It does slightly increase the mid bass. That was the most noticeable change, well besides the fact it also greatly increases the hi's so the sound doesn't become muddy. And as stated before you will definitely hear crackling on max volume.
I have played audio out both to my car stereo via head phone jack and to my headphones (definitely not cheapys, and better than any "optimized beats equipment") Its all the same noticeable difference. I haven't tried on my cheap ear buds yet, but will give them a good run tomorrow when I take my street bike out for a Sunday put put.
Using this mod does disable the stock EQ that is built into htc music app. or at least it did on my phone.
I will officially classify this mod as 80% hype and 20% function.
If you have anything professional you wont need to eq anything that was recorded and mastered properly. I promise.

Its not like I need more bass or high end out of a radiohead album, the Guy who's best at deciding the equal of everything already determined that. All of this post processing bull**** is just to make wank headphones sound "Fuller" "richer" but by no means more accurate, and to be honest a complete waste of CPU.

I wrote this on rootz, figured I would share it here too.
People seem to forget what beats are about. They don't make the music sound "better" they make it sound "clearer". You want "better" sounding music then yes, the others do a good job of that. But if you want to hear the music, how it sounds to artists in a studio, without extra filters, eq's, etc. put on by Bose, Sony, and the other manufacturers, then Beats are the way to go. I'm going to guess none of you have ever been inside a real studio (not your friend's basment with a mic and a padded wall, that isn't a studio) so you saying that beats don't do this, and are all marketing bs, don't really know what you are talking about.
I have had the Solos, sold them and got the Studio's, and sold them and now have the Pro's and I can say I have never heard music clearer before than I have with these. Want to know why the base sounds "deeper" or the treble is "louder" with other headphones? Because that's how they are made. Beats are made to sound exactly how the artist made the song in the studio and wanted people to hear it.
/endrant
I am an audio production major, my school has a multi million dollar studio and no one uses beats. AKG, SENNHEISER, AUDIO TECHNICA are the three major brands for lower end accurate audio reproduction. Truly "clear" headphones are electrostatic such as the ~$1000 stax in Japan, they require their own amp. I think its hillarious that you think beats (which have over accentuated lows and highs...to give compressed music come off of a ****ty audio driver (like the tbolt) a bigger richer sound? More accurate? Absolutely not recessed mids are guarunteed when you "eq" a set of headphones like beats chose to do. The most hillarious part is were in a discussion thread talking about a plugin that does that same eq/compression/gain bull**** and above poster is repping beats to be about accurate sound reproduction. You obviously know a lot less about audio than you pretend to....

Not to mention with all of the money they put towards marketing, Justin bieber beats, p diddy beats, lady GaGa beats....its obvious that its directed at the commercial consumer market, NOT FOR THE AUDIOPHILE/PRODUCER. Go test a pair of ATH-M50s if you don't believe me...

Case and point, beats useless, if you really know how you want your music to sound use playerpro with dsp pack, if your getting cracking, then lower your preamp and get a better output. My brother works the sound board for the starland ballroom in nj, very big venue, and I'm assistant production manager. We have had everyone from Justin bieber to as I lay dying. Beats that you guys are using isn't even the true beats that comes with whatever phones its coming with these days. Do some research and you'll find that out
You should have killed me, when you had the chance
And what I mean by beats optimized is its set up to work best with the way beats headphones are set up...is that alittle easier to understand?

Can Someone Try It Out Now!???
Aww. I thought this was a free pair of Beats Audio for Gingerbread users.
Darn it ... I've been waiting for this, but I'm on ICS
I would post in the original topic asking for help, but my posting privileges don't allow me yet so here it is. I tried flashing that zip using OpenRecovery on my Motorola Milestone with CM7, but I keep getting an error: Status 0 and then "Installation aborted". Can I only flash that using CWM, or is there something wrong with the files? I already renamed the zip to "update.zip" just in case.

In the original topic, someone already responded to this question: you first need to mount /system manually.
Turned off equalizer and tuning in Poweramp and listened before and after flashing this. Undoubtly a huge difference, at least I like it
Problem is its an equalizer with settings non changeable .
Does it make any difference ???
My tests 50% No 50% maybe .
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and placebos can also work for some .
Nandroid backup install and try is all you can do as its not removable .
Further tests
Volume level is probably up by 1%.
Playback is the same as my current setup apart from a bit of distortion at the peak with louder sounds . A bit like standing next to the instrument rather than in the audience .

Also possible that your zip file is corrupt. Download again.
In the original thread they mentioned they tried it on CM7, MIUI and CM9, and claimed that it even works on ICS.

It's like ripping the toilet out of your bathroom and replacing it with a bucket......
It does the same job but its much less efficient and lacking basic features......
Weird, how would this make a difference? i have some knowledge with supercurio's work, hardware limitations overall prevent amazing sound. Having beats codec wouldn't make a big diff even if you have a beats headphone.

Holly f*ck, it works like hell with Voodoo LOUDER, Mixzing and the Eq on it and a AKG k518DJ
You don't have any icon, if you want, just check with RootExplorer "System/bin", you'll see some file like this "basimage_ibeats_isolo.bin"
So yes you can flash the zip with any GB (mine is Hyperdroid with Siyah)
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
If you have a good Eq AND you know how to set it, you'll not have more bass!
It feel like a filter, the bass is deeper, clearer, the med also and the trebble too
-> It really makes the sound clearer
It's makes a huuuge difference with a 320 Kbps mp3 or FLAC and a real headphone and with high quality earphone, and it's even better with voodoo LOUDER wich hacking the hardware of my phone
Who said for GB only?
I flashed it before my work was over, so I was able to directly hook it up to my car stereo. I am running AOKP (ICS 4.0.3 AOSP), so I didnt expect it to work.
So, I fired up PowerAMP and played right away. It wasnt much of a difference, since the PowerAMP EQ and Tone-Filter were still active. I know how it sounds without those 2 options, since I drive alot within the week and my Phone is hooked up to my car stereo like every time.
I listen to heavy tunes, bass-focused, mainly Dubstep and DnB.
So I switched those 2 options OFF within PowerAMP and WHOMP!
I mean, really! There is a pretty significant improvement in sound quality.
It sounds better than with activated EQ and Tone-Filter from PowerAMP.
Very crisp bass, but with more force and power.
Mid-Tones are clearer when heavy bass lines kick in.
I was like "WTF"...
Then I fired up Simfy (german edition of Spotify) and even there I got a significant improvement in sound.
I am pretty surprised, since I didnt think it would work on ICS since its been promoted for Gingerbread "Only". But I can say, there is a difference, and if not, I must be high on crack or something ....
PS: I even have the imagination it increases the default Volume Levels. I usually have a pretty fixed setup while driving and listening music (Volume Levels) and I really had the feeling that it was louder in general...
As I have said earlier, I guess supercurio confirms it on his twitter.

Reminds me of the SE Bravia nonsense that was floating around. This is why companies like Bose and Monster Cable make money hand-over-fist.
You're likely listening to 192 kbps (or less) MP3 files on a set of sub $20 headphones, no amount of compression/EQ can help that.
Improved the audio quality quite a bit. Specially on WIDE effect in settings. Crisp & more clear

Yup.. Exactly what i thought and supercurio confirmed NOT working.
I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.
I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.
Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.
Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.
If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
Moving on..
I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.
But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.
If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
No it's not that simple. What I did was:
1. Install the drivers
2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper
3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)
3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player
4. Reboot
5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...
6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer

Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.

I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.

Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio

On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.
Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper

This is my headphones profile. I haven't set up one for the phone speakers. It's a modified copy of something I found somewhere on xda. I guess you can just create a headphone profile yourself and then copy in the following text instead of what it says in your backed up profile. But I'm not sure if that will work or if it will destroy your phone and kill your family. You will find your profiles (once they are backed up) under storage/emulated/0/viper4android/profile. This works on my headphones and with my ears, that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here it goes:

Heres another audio mod for the nexus 5. tested on c-rom 7.1, seems to be a bit louder and bassier but would like feedback from others willing to try it, preferably on roms without other sound mods. I found it works well with viper
ps im using some cheap Philips earphones & noticed a small improvement but it could be a placebo effect

i will try it out but the problem with any audio mod is that there is not a 'on' and 'off' option so some people can't hear diference. but thanks
How to restore?

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!

Thank you for this mod I enjoy on my nexus 5 w/ viper audio.?
Ok I guess I'll begin by sharing the new info, which doesn't seem to be out there.
The newest Stable release of Sense 6 toolbox works with my Sense 7 (ARHD 41.0) set up. It had no glitches, and a couple selections were blocked out, so I'm guessing they were bugged ones which the dev didn't want to make available to a stable release.
What I find interesting is that it says that Sense 7 is still not supported, but to me it worked perfectly. If you guys could tell me whether it works for you too (mainly sense 7 mods), and if any of you found bugs please share what caused the bug so that other users can avoid the same bug.
Now for my set up:
Recovery: TWRP
ROM: ARHD 41.0
Sense version: Sense 7
Xposed Framework (yes/no): yes
If yes, Modules:
> ActivityForceNewTask
> APM+
> ChromePie
> Fix Lollipop Memory Leak (not sure if it actually works)
> Greenify
> Secure Settings (used with Tasker)
> Sense 6 Toolbox
Additional theming/modding apps worth mentioning:
Root Booster
(it offers an option of speed, stability or battery saving, it works by changing the CPU governor and memory heap size to achieve desired result)
Recently
(developed by Chainfire, if you don't know, he's the guy behind SuperSu, say no more. Worth checking out, since it improves the new recent apps section introduced with Lollipop)
Viper4Android FX
(if you like good sound, this is the app you need. Boomsound is already good as it is, this makes it even better)
OK guys, it's now your turn share your set up, and give your recommendations

Dragon-Fi Audio (System files only, Dolby and beats skipped)
Harman Kardon Audio (I only use Clari-Fi)

Just letting you know VolumeSteps+ does not work on most HTC ROMs/Devices, if you actually listen closely and pay attention you will notice that you add volume steps but listen closely and you will notice the volume won't change at all on some of those steps, the developer even said this disclaimer, and its known on HTC, the Audio System is different then AOSP or anything like that, so its pointless to have it, it adds the visual steps but in reality it doesn't work, in media for example you still have 15 steps but if you make it 30, then you still have 15 and require a bunch of pointless button presses to get to volume step 15.
Ooh thank you guys getting better replies than I expected.
@Viper4713, does Sense 7 feel stable to you? Because as far as I'm aware it's a port taken from the M9 but stuck on top of an M8 Base. Do you believe there will be any changes when HTC releases the official M8 version?
Also since you mentioned headphones, I got me a cheap £15 Panasonic HJE190.
I'm a huge audiophile, and a power listener, 70% of my day I have my headphones in my ears. In fact I got them in now haha.
The problem I have with most headphones is that most are cheaply built (even expensive ones), and don't last more than 2 months with me. So I chose to always buy cheap ones, eventually, I found a pair of HJC120 on the ground, battered up, as if someone threw them away. So I took them in, and used them since my previous pair had broken that morning lol.
The little sucked lasted me for 8 months, more than any other headphones I have ever used EVER. + the sound was good
So when they broke I was looking for the same one, and I stumbled across the HJE190. It has better sound, and if you like bass it's perfect, it's got clear highs and deep lows. Etc...
Not gonna go much into detail. What I mean is, they have the best sound of any earbuds below £50, while costing less than £20, and they are sturdy, so they last a long time. worth having a look.
@Trucifix, I'm glad I could share with you something new. Nice set up btw.
Also, after you try it and if you like it, thank the OP.
Now, about the App itself, Root Booster, since I don't play intensive games on my phone (I use my Nexus 9 for that), I don't really need the speed part, but ideally it's for gaming. For me I like the battery saving toggle, it gives me at least 1 hour worth of juice with average use.
But depeding on your need it can help.
Personally I like it, because I have no idea of which governors to use, how much to overclock or underclock, so I prefer to just let another app do it for me

Sense 7 ROMs for M8, yes pure stable, but I will be honest with you ARHD is the most unstable right now strangely, mike abandoned the M8 for now in favor of the M9, he may be back some time soon.
The 5.0.2 Sense 7 Ports are closer to a true Sense 7, they contain almost all the files from Sense 7 base, only thing Sense 6 about it left is drivers and such to make everything work 100% like audio and radio(4G), now the 5.0.1 ROMs are less closer to true Sense 7, they have many Sense 6 libs and such left behind and its mainly only focused on the apks, like Settings app and Sense Home for example, this is why the 5.0.1 (base without mods) ports don't have the flashlight toggle in QS because the SystemUI.apk still have Sense 6 elements while the 5.0.2 ROMs have full sense 7 SystemUI.apk.
When Sense 7 releases there wouldn't be any visual changes compared to the 5.0.2 ports at all, however it is believed that when its finally out it will come with Android 5.1, so HTC might make some changes but I am unsure, however there will be a couple Android changes at that point like swiping up on a heads up notification to hide it(without fully dismissing), but the current 5.0.2 ports will feel exactly like the M9 does, so nothing is missing about it, and of course its still the M8, so HK works and all that, so it feel like M8 for sure rather then an M9 port where something could potentially be missing.
As for earphones, I am an audiophile but I spend a bit more money then that, you wouldn't believe what you could be missing until you get some real high end headphones, now I understand that more expensive doesn't always mean better but in some cases it does, I mean some headphones are not $299 for NO reason, I my self wouldn't go under $79 but that's just me, my build quality on my $212 earphones is great, you know what you should try out? go get some Klipsch S4's or S5's, they are cheap for what your paying for, I assure you they will sound better then the ones you have now, you always have a return policy so try it out for fun if you want, put it on a credit card so no real money is being spent yet
For Audio its not just about lows and high, mids, sound stage, clarity and many others are also very important, so currently you may enjoy your set up, then you try something real high end and then realize that your current setup may have muddy lows and artificial highs, also separation is important as well, for example, you could have a huge bass note booming in your ear but yet at the same time it won't overlap any other frequency AT ALL so when a bass note happens the singers voice will not appear to get quieter or distorted, it will sound like the bass note is coming from a separate sub woofer in the room while the mids and highs are playing from a dedicated speaker but in reality you just have earphones/buds on! You can say you have this now but yet again its one of those things you have to experience to realize your current setup either doesn't have it or doesn't have it enough.
Please understand my respect to you here, I am not bashing you but just saying there is an other level you can achieve here you have never heard, its kind of like 2D to 3D and other dimensions you may not know exists
I have expensive Polk Audio Speakers in my car, I also have $249 computer speakers and yet my earphones still are much better then both of them, its to a point I have had these earphones for 2-3 years and I am still shocked by them, its also mind boggling to me how these earphones/buds can sound better then a studio or a real speaker for that matter.
@Viper4713, well that would definitely explain why Sense 6 toolbox works perfectly on my M8. So for that reason I think I'll stick around ARHD for a while longer Hehe.
And about the headphones, yeah I'm completely aware, I had some great sounding ones when I was younger. Never went for anything under 30 quid, and once bought a £90 over ears. Beautiful sound.
And yet, 2 months later, like clockwork, it breaks. Haha I'm sure some expensive headphones have amazing sound. But i cant afford to be shelling 50 quid everytime I break some headphones But I'm just pointing out that I was so surprised at the sound I got from my Panasonic's, it's incredible. Obvi it's not the best, and a bit bass heavy, yet it provides nearly a distortionless sound.
For that kind of price tag I'm just surprised it's not well known. But search it, look at the reviews for yourself HJE190 and the HJC120.
Enjoy.

Just letting you know Sense 6 Toolbox works the same on 5.0.2 ports, it just doesn't work on S.ROM and the M9

Wait, you sure? Coz that wasn't specified on the module updates, nor the module itself, it just said Sense 7. Which is why I'm getting confused.
