I Flashed The Zip! I dnt KNow If The Sound Improved! But My DSP Manager Wont Work Now !
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.
Maybe somebody can test? My Device is backupping right now

Of course it wont work...
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.
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

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...
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.
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.

Now that the installation of Viper is much simpler than when it originally came out, I do prefer it to other audio mods. :good:

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.
I have loaded several different TW roms on my gs4, and only Tasks AOKP for aosp roms. I have noticed the sound quality in AOSP is horrible compared to TW. I first noticed it when I plugged it into my car radio, it sounded muffled and muddy. I tried playing with the settings, even bought faux sound in hopes it would help but it did not. I plugged my friends iPhone in and played the same song to see if it was my radio... It was not. So I loaded a backup of a TW rom I had and low and behold it sounded just as good as the iPhone, just slightly quieter, turning the volume up a little and I couldnt tell the difference. I loaded the backups of TW and AOKP roms back to back with my headphones with different songs to see if I was just dreaming, but there is a huge difference in highs and lows, base sounds underpowered and starts crackling in AOSP. Faux sound didnt help anything, tried playing with the equalizer, and it never sounded anything close to the TW rom. I was going to try and load CM 10.1, but have not done so since they are still on nightly's with no RC or final builds.
Now I know AOSP uses open source drivers, so is this the problem? Or am I missing something that could be causing this?
EDIT: AOSP DOES NOT HAVE APT-X.
---------------------------------
Use APT-X on AOSP instead.
Otherwise, I can't comment on bluetooth since I only use the APT-X codec. But Task has stated in the past he does not care about bluetooth audio.

I think the exact opposite, my phone sounds better on AOKP then TW. Are you setting all the equalizers up properly?

I'm using the headphone jack to physically connect it on my car, so its not the BT. I'll look up APT-X, doesnt sound familiar to me. And as far as I can tell its setup properly. I looked up settings that several people suggested. I'm open to trying your settings if you want to post them.

Setting the volume all the way up on your phone while its connect to aux may cause distortion. Set it at least 3/4th of the volume bar and control the rest via the headunit.

No problem with distortion on TW rom with volume all the way up. Also it doesnt really explain the headphone issues.

Oh sorry, I thought I read that you were using Bluetooth.
APT-X is the high-definition version of Bluetooth. Comparable to using the headphone jack for audio quality, but with less noise.
If you want the ultimate in audio quality at the expense of some convenience, then try to find a USB DAC that works with the S4. I'm not sure if there are any yet. But they're worth it if you think you might be an audiophile.

How do you use the APT-X codec? Is it part of one of the custom ROMs? I was under the impression that only the international version supported APT-X.
This has been my experience with samsung devices in the past as well. They do a good job with sound quality in the stock software. If you go to a AOSP type ROM, you need some other sound application to improve quality.
EDIT: AOSP ROM'S DO NOT HAVE APT-X.

All Samsung Galaxy S3/S4 TouchWiz and Google Edition ROM's have had APT-X since the Galaxy S3.
All you need to do is find a Car Stereo or a Receiver that support APT-X and then connect by Bluetooth and it automatically uses the APT-X hi-def codec.
Since I never found a Car Stereo that supports it (still new tech) I just connected an APT-X bluetooth receiver to my car stereo. So my phone connects to the receiver. Then the receiver sends the audio directly to my car stereo via 3.5mm audio cable. I hide the receiver inside my dashboard behind the car stereo.
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

That's good news to me. Can you post up exactly what settings, .irs files,etc you have? I'd be most interested in phone-speaker settings, but I wouldn't mind just piggybacking off you since you say you have such stellar results.

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, but high end sound systems will notice the quality reduction.

neither am I nore do I have a high end soundsystem so I don't notice the difference to the worse. Who listens to anything on a high end soundsystem through a phone?
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:
