[APP] 3-band equalizer

heres a simple equalizer i found has "Bass" , "Mid" , "Treble" control.
FINALLY a equalizer for android, Even though it still simple its a good start.
BETTER THAN NOTHING, one thing im not happy is that theres no good or any equalizer on the android market.
GIVE CREDIT TO THE DEVELOPER. (he searching for developers to help him out)

Nice effort but really falls flat. Adds a lot of noise. Doesn't appear to support many file types. Haven't narrowed down exactly what is supported. Flac is NOT supported. Lots or messages warning about gain too high, etc when I was fooling around. Hopefully with revision 10 or so, it will be nice. Have to say it's about time that someone has posted an equalizer.

works with cm_passion-07142010-094243 (CM6) but the UI is terrible anyway the equalizer works.

I know, I know, I should be supportive, and I know I couldn't do any better. That said, Astro Player blows this out of the water. 15+ bands, support for most file types, cover art, and a widget.

Worked perfect. Thanks for the greatfind.

just downloaded the trial version of this app.....gotta say i'm impressed!
EQ function alone makes it worthwhile...more testing to come

the is the best proffesional looking Music player .. prev used astro player .. it was nice , this is the awesome... feels good and solid
made into my main music player .. especially the EQ are great with around 16 bands ?

I totally agree. PowerAMP is the best music player I've tried on android. I used Mixzing back on 1.6 and it wasn't bad, but this is damn good player I have owned two SonyEricssons before and they both were Walkmans, so I'm used to have a phone producing good sound. Finally, my X10 does it as well

Yep, i come from mixzing too.
PowerAMP is top app.
Winamp is just a kid compared with PowerAMP

I also was a fan of Mixzing, but must say that Poweramp looks even better.
However, there is one thing that is not to my taste and those are the widgets.
In Mixzing, I have a full screen widget and a full screen lockscreen. Poweramp only has the 4x1 or 4x2.
If there was a full-screen version of the widget, then this would be damn perfect.

I agree, best music app. However I just can't get the X10 to produce sound as good as I expect. I was hoping 2.1 might lead me to a better sound. I have an iPod nano and it just plays louder, with better sound quality/clarity. Anyone else notice this? Maybe I just have a bunk phone.
When you listen to metal, you want it loud and clear. I may be destroying my ears, but at least its epically brutal.

I think this app is fine, but I just wonder why yiu have to change to lockscreen when the widget doesnt cover the whole screen, might just as well put the normal lockscreen beneath it. How freaking loud do you want it?!

It's not really that it needs to get much louder but when it is at max volume I can hear noticeable distortion. Guitar notes and cymbal crashes turn into a mash of static and sandpaper, when using the same headphones (shure se115s) on the nano at higher volume produces a clearer, richer sound.
Anyway sorry for straying off topic, if it weren't for my issues I would be all over this app all the time. It looks the best, it has the nicest features and i'm glad the lock screen widget doesn't make you unlock with that, then revert to the standard unlock like other apps did on 1.6.

Now that you mention that, I remember hearing distortions and some breaking sound on certain tracks on 1.6. It didnt seem to be on all tracks but just some of em.

the interface is amazing but i think the 2.1 mediascape produces louder and deeper music. try comparing the two.

True, the stock player have an equal balance and sound better now.

Music Player

I noticed in a Gingerbread video by Google, they were talking about Open Media and it's ability to easily have an EQ. Does this exist on the Nexus S's music player? If not, what are they waiting for.
They should just help out the dude making PowerAMP if not, I love that app but it sucks up too much battery with the EQ on.

That's exactly what they did it seems.
I did install Cyanogen on my N1 last night. Though I think my fully stock G2 is a leap ahead of it still in terms of display and speed, I love the DSP Manager addition.
Google needs to put some version of that into their OS. At least in the capacity of having different settings for headset, bluetooth, and speaker that are just presets like Rock, Pop, Dance, Classical, Spoken Word, etc...
Hopefully we'll see something in the next Gingerbread release, but somehow I doubt it.

Headphone Amp Software

I love the Voodoo headphone amp as it boosts the headphone output to a decent level, but installing voodoo sounds has its problems on ICS with calls, etc and all the know bugs. Is there a headphone amp app or widget or something? Best I've found is to make a preset EQ with everything boosted but this affects sound more than Supercurio's work on the Wolfman chip and enabling the headphone boosts.

Jetaudio is the player I've been using on my other phone. Get it from play store. Once you have it go to EQ and look at the top. There is a built in preamp. Slide the bar to 10 and watch your ears bleed. It is by far the best free player that I've used.

Actually thank eollie. I'm pretty sure he's the one that let me know about it. Well it was either him or Lumin. Hard to tell the other members of TFTN apart anymore. lol

I'll give Jet a try myself.
Not to hijack, if anyone knows of dev info on compiling new codecs for Android, would you PM me? The lack of Apple lossless keeps me from using my phone for music.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Can you really tell the difference between lossless and compressed? I've tried with some really good earbuds and it's super hard for me to tell. Try talking some albums that you know really well and converting them to mp3 at 224. If you can tell the difference from the phone I'd be amazed.

Yeah, I use Grado cans and anything below 512 kbps is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My library is all Apple lossless at this point and transcoding on the fly is a complexity I'd rather not deal with.
Edit -- Switching to IEMs has made anything compressed even at 512 kbps rather painful. As full-rate Apple Lossless or Flac is typically around 800-1000 kbps, at least for me, there isn't any meaningful gain for the pain.

jetAudio does support Apple Lossless now, and doesn't have the gaps between tracks that used to plague older Android players. It's got it's own usability issues, but it does a decent job.
Now if I can figure out why Voodoo Sound occasionally stops working for me to control amp gain so I can keep the digital gain maxed out.

Since I stopped using my 4g as a phone and just use it as a music player voodoo sounds has worked all the time every time. I think receiving phone calls might be what is causing it to stop working. I few others have reported the same. Something to take a look at at least. If your using jet it has it's own built in pre amp that works well.

I think that maxed out issue you are talking about is a setting in voodoo app causes the db keep going up

I seem to be finding that either placing or receiving a call "disconnects" Voodoo Sound from the analog gain.
The preamp control in jetAudio is a little different -- Voodoo has the benefit of keeping the digital gain as high as possible and just using the audio gain, which should improve sound quality by keeping digitization noise lower.

I have logs for that i go on wheresmycellphone.com and call my phone run logocat right before the call. No one has provided logs yet ? There seems to be dual speaker mode thats changed and an audio route problem. Do u want me to up logs. Does voodoo work on any of ics roms with just dsp manager and how do u tell if it is working really. I think the tv out driver plays a slight role as well there is bluetooth sharing enabled during call when headset not being used or anything.

I bet you still listen to vinyl don't you. LOL I see your point for sure but on my earbuds I can't tell the difference. As long as it's loud and clear and loud it's good enough for me.

I do. And on audiophile the dsp manager says does not work with hardware on last tab to the right

Question No root V4A alternative?

Sorry if this has been asked, I'm not on here much. Anyway, what's a good alternative to viper 4 Android? I've been on rooted pixels for years, so I really don't know what's best without root. I'm currently using Poweramp equalizer, and that definitely helps with the sound quality. But it doesn't match v4a.
Thanks!

I tested wavelet in my current phone (S21+ rooted) comparing to V4A. It is infinitely inferior.
I think i saw some threads about no root V4A... Is that a thing? Or maybe only for older Android versions?

Currently looking. I think it's an older thing though.

Wavelet

v4a needs to be upgraded to fix original a12 device issues and I'm still believe they are developing updates, I've tried with wavelet, it couldn't be compared with v4a , I mean v4a is much more better than wavelet from my experience

I use boom player and dolby on Lenovo fold, galaxy fold 3 and s22 ultra. But wavelet it's really very good Equalizer for androids..

@Shiro39 and @WZDISMINE I must be doing something wrong with wavelet. Could you share your settings?
Because it is almost as no equilizer at all snd v4a seems 1000 times better in its volume improvement, clear highs and powerful bass.

Just did that, didn't change much. I tried pulling all the buttons up with bass being a nit more than the rest. Itbgot a bit better, but it's not even near V4A. This app is just amazing. I wish there was a non root version.
Or maybe another app just as good. I'm gonna search for one and if I find it I'll post here.

I use it for Bluetooth. Works very well for my car and home audio. I listen to a lot of podcast through the phone speaker and it works very well with the volume Booster that also works for calls over phone speaker

The best way and an alternative for me is VLC media player. I think it's better than V4A. It has really very very punchy and deeep basses, crisp and clear mids and highs. You must check before the equalizer. The downside is that, that i'm not able to stream content from the internet. Need some help, if it possible. Give it a try and have a great time!
Edit: Im using Jabra Elite 75t

I use Poweramp Eq, it´s paid, but not expensive. It process almost system wide like v4a, but you need to run an adb command. It also has a parametric eq, so you can set any band as you want, you can adjust frecuency, quality, gain and type of filer. I have the eq exactly the same as peace eq in my PC for my earphones

@nobrain3000 @danvrez players are not a good option because you won't be able to use Spotify, Youtube or any app that's not the player.
I wasn't using wavelet with it's full potential because I had the free version. Got the paid one and now I can customize bass. While the sound got better, V4A bass (and mids and highs) are way cleaner.
