Run Gingerbread? Need a louder speaker? Use this application.

Volume+ Sound Boost for Gingerbread
Download: Here
Credits: MeltusI've tested it and it's increased the speaker volume drastically without reducing sound quality. It's great for streaming music, radio, live scanner feeds and stuff. It makes the loudspeaker LOUD. Works on my custom ROM (See it in my signature). ​

Thank you so much!!!!!

Thanks, I just thought it was the phone, had no idea it was the ROM I was running lol. This app works great, using it at one notch below Insane, and it sounds much better now

Thanks. Works great

awesome, thanks.

Yeah, I haven't tested it on Insane, and probably won't. It's plenty loud enough as is now lol

I tried it on insane it will work loud but if you keep it on insane you will blow your speakers

BETA Version (1.61 whatever)
Speaker Phone:
Speaker Modifications: ON
EQ Settings: GOOD QUALITY
Volume Level: FIVE OR SIX
Bass Enhance: OFF

i ran it on cm7 made NO difference at all ... not a tinny bit :S

Works on CM7 here, stock kernel.
Just a question for you guys: have you come across a volume/equalizer app that works on a speakerphone call? I've gotten Volume+ and DSP Manager to work on everything except for when the phone is in speakerphone mode. I was hoping to reduce the "tinnyness" of callers with a treble reduction and midrange boost.

Can something similar be done with the headphone jack? I use it often to connect to my car stereo and even at max volume it's not very loud.

Well it seems to have solved MY problem, which was low volume on the ringtones - I was missing calls, with the phone in my pocket - beyond that, I didn't fiddle around with the settings.
Thanks much!
-Mike

should we restart after applying settings? i rely find no difference at all . som1 can explain me why?

CM7 has DSP Manager which will boost volume perfectly.

AUX port sound in vehicle

I have been trying to find a good App for my music in my truck. I just came from ATT Captivate and found PowerAmp and either Voodoo or Audioboost, if my ROM didn't have Voodoo. I have a factory subwoofer in my truck, and that mix on the Cappy produced amazing results.
On the G2x, I've tried a couple different apps, but nothing even close. Anyone have any ideas? Unfortunately, Audioboost isn't supported on G2x.

I use Poweramp. Sounds great with the Bose speakers in my Max.

winamp is pretty good.. I like it

Get player pro and download the dsp pack plugin. U should be pretty happy with the sound

If you are running a 2.3 build, look on the market for "Equalizer" by Smart Android Apps, LLC (won't show up with 2.2) - works very well for me!

[Q] Beats Audio to Skyrocket?

Is there anyway to take the beats audio program off of an HTC phone and install it onto a Samsung phone?

I honestly thought the Beats audio was more about the HW as opposed to just an app? But I'm sure someone could strip it out if the have a mind to.
Is the app that good?

I know there's the voodoo headphone amplifier in the android Market. It's pretty good. Just not sure if any of the kernels support it.

I have read that its all software with regards to the HTC Rezound at least. Right now I'm using Equalizer app to alter the music levels and it's doing a nice job.

A good pair of headphones will improve your experience more than Beats software. What headphones are you using?

Had Voodoo Control App on my Captivate and it was awwwwwesome. No support for the Skyrocket though, and not likely to happen either. I read that the developers of Voodoo don't care for the Yamaha chip in the Skyrocket and won't be developing for it.
I hope this proves not to be true--would love to see some sound improvement on the level of what Voodoo does for the Captivate.

DSP Manger
Skyrocket ICS rom On XDA will give you a DSP manger that works exactly the same as the voodoo sound app. That we had on our Samsung captivates. But that would mean you would have to root your phone to use this.
And another thing you don't get with stock NFC doesn't work. But with the SR ICS ROM you get everything they block from us customers.

Beats audio hack for hashcodes cm9?

Like the sign says..is there anyway to add beats audio to hashcodes stock cm9 rom. I know there are custom roms with beats built in but a lot of my apps just seem to work better with the stock cm9 rom he built.

I just installed the same one I always have, the one labelled for Gingerbread, I think.

Do you have a link to one that works? I've tried two or three different ones floating around and I get an immediate system sound f/c upon reboot.

Can you point me in the right direction?

It's a set of software libraries that should provide you with better sound I'm able to hear a clear difference when comparing the stock ROM and gedeROM, but be the judge of that yourself.

I thinks it's funny how Beats Audio on the hardware side is so terrible but the software aspect is pretty damn good. I was really skeptical but the bass is much fatter in comparison and the whole thing just has better sound overall. It's now totally obvious to me the main design focus was cosmetics to make all the little hipster kids happy when they should've been smart and focused primarily on functionality. But who does that nowadays, right? On a side note, I can't stand the ridiculous white ones. They might as well make them bright yellow with flashing lights, like "Hey, everyone, look how trendy I am!"

Oh don't get me wrong i'm using ged's rom too and love it..i just have an issue where dsp manager does absolutely nothing (ie: i move the sliders no sound change) and any other eq app i've tried f/c's immediately when opening. I love the sound change beats provides but i also would like to be able to fine tune with and eq. I've flashed G's rom with a fresh install and 3 different downloads and still get f/c's on any eq app? So i thought maybe one of the thousands of beats.zips floating around might work if i flash it over a stock cm rom. I want your rom to work for me ged, but the lack of eq bums me out. Any idea what i'm doing wrong with dsp manager?

I tried DSP yesterday. I heard difference as soon as a changed a setting. This is from the internal speakers not headphones.

So is it possible to add Beat Audio to, say, Modaco ROM?

I installed the Beats 5.1 ZIP from this thread, using TWRP on Hashcode's #10 ROM.
Works great, other than the DSP no longer works and the ROM likes to throw an occasional error at boot up to tell me so. I think this is generally intentional on the part of Beats, since it now manages sound. Since stock DSP no longer manages sound, it would make sense it no longer works.

WTF?!? IIRC, Beats and HTC have an exclusivity deal in place. I'm surprised HTC hasn't requested this be removed from Play.

Yep. It's just an Apk that builds a flashable zip that you use in CWM. I didn't think it would work , but it did.

I don't have it, but to be honest I am also not impressed with beats whatsoever.

I used this one and it works beautifully.

I couldnt really notice a huge difference through headphones, but when plugged up to my cars stereo which i have put some money into i can notice a huge difference.

Thanks guys greatly Appreciated I use it in my car as well I got full custom system
Sent from my rocket on the galaxy 3 leak

Beats is nothing more than a software equalizer. For the same effect (plus a lot more customization), try Volume+ from the Play Store. It even has a "Beats" mode.

There's also Equalizer by smart android, I've got it on my phone & the difference is awesome!

I'm wondering this as well. I've been using Mort Player for music (unless someone can recommend something else for audiobooks/podcasts), but the EQ settings between Mort and other external EQs don't seem to make a big difference (and it should, based on my headphones)

Here. Both .zip files are to be flashed in CWM. Beats Music Player is pretty sexy too. The music player can be installed on any ROM. No need to push. You can download and install or simply bake in ur own custom cake, ...fruit.

The player is not that great.
But, you don't have to do all this to get the Codec's/Drivers and the improved sound quality.
Just download the "Beats Audio Installer" from the Google play store (Free), run it, reboot the phone and use your favorite media player.

I have awesome BEATS. When using it with just phone speakers, No big difference. When in the car with a loaded system, GIANT difference!

Is the huge difference when playing through headphone jack?

I've tries both I'd rather have awesome beats because Beats Audio causes in call volume low I've notice and it stops certain equalizers from working

I don't ever listen through headphones, but listening via bluetooth with my car stereo, it does sound much better. The most reliable way I know of to install is through the Aroma KoaK zip installer v.847 which can be found in boobah's thread here.
