[Q] SRS & Dolby Sound Profiles on XE Based ROM - HTC Sensation

Is there anyway to get the SRS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Profiles on an XE based ROM?
Beats audio is good, but i'd prefer to have the option between them all, & i think the dolby audio while watching videos sounds better.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.6.4 on a regular sensation

Same here also, im trying to find a thread that will enable the dolby/srs mobile on ARHD 3.6.2 rom.. Still cant find it..

This is availble for sense 3.5 based roms. I know that. But can't find it for 3.0.

How's your video recording on your phone friend, I tried mine today the video quality is ok but the audio is bad, I mean there's too much base on the audio that you could barely understand the people talking on the recorded video. I took the video inside my room no noise whatsoever.
Have you seen this thread or have you tried the mods they have here. Here is the thread link

Sounds like you have stereo record on as you are recording. Do you have mikes camera mod installed?
I particularly like mikes camera mod, it allows you to manipulate the bitrate for videos. If you don't have it you should get it
But try switching stereo record off in your settings and see if that works for you. If thy doesn't work try clearing data from the camcorder ap then reboot, test it out and let me know

I'll try it friend and let you know. I'll search for mikes camera mod also if mono recording doesn't work.

[Q] Is it possible to play .flac with the beats audio in Sensation?

I just want to ask, is it possible to play .flac lossless audio format with the stock HTC player so that the beats audio enhancement is in effect??
Thanks for reading
is it so impossible that no one replied to this thread? O_O
Why not use another player? Do you really need that Beats enhancement that bad? You realize that if you are gonna use FLAC, you should be using good headphones/IEMs that can take advantage of the format, right? And on top of that, if you are using good headphones/IEMs, you really shouldn't use that stupid Beats mode in the first place.

I've also encountered the same problem also: Can't play FLAC.
First off, I checked through /system/lib/modules and I found no FLAC libs (.so) there so I think this is the case why my HTC Sensation can't play Lossless FLAC format.
Currently I'm converting my music library from FLAC to M4A to be able to enjoy my music collections on my HTC Sensation.

[Q] Is there a hack for BEATS audio to work in more than....

...the HTC Music Player.
Currently it only works in the built in music player. Bummer. I was hoping any music app on the device would be able to use Beats Audio.

Nope beats only work with HTC music player.Sound really good with a little eq,HTC music player isn`t that bad,i like it
I have an HTC ONE V, and my Beats Audio works with the Poweramp music player also, EQ settings and all.
I tested it with Beats on and off and Beats works with it, whether through headphones or Bluetooth.

And poweramp allows beats audio, even on sense 3.6 but really guys, all this hype over beats audio - its just an EQ profile, nothing more...

Hi,
how do I enable beats on non-sense ROM ? or you saying it will not have effect on audio quality ?
As I understand, I need to flash extra mod ?
there is an app on google store, that says it enables beats audio, but I don't this its working, cause Poweramp is not showing beats settings.
thanks a lot !

For non-sense ROMs, you're better off flashing THIS
try flash Anthrax kernel. it has system-wide beats support.
beats is like, 40% rom and 60% kernel, i heard.

+1 for BASSmod, works well with AOSP roms
Beats is overhyped, nothing special about it. I can tweak the EQ in PlayerPro and the music will sound tons better than Beats. maybe its all about personal preference, or youd just like to see the Beats symbol on your status bar lol

I agree with this, I have my own custom EQ profile that to my ears sounds much much better than beats - beats is lacking in mid and the bass isnt too great either (yes its an improvement on no effect but still not enough for me)

How do I switch music player default equalizer to 'No effects'?

Just wanted to know if there was some way in changing the default sound enhancer of the stock music player to 'No effects'. It always sets itself to 'SRS enhancement'- on startup, and even if I just selected 'no effects'- it reverts back to SRS automatically.
And this is just in regard to the stock player- I'm not a big fan of PowerAMP or Winamp. It's just that IMHO, I feel that the 'no effects' option delivers the best quality without much disruption. 'Beats' feel good as well- but only at times.
Thanks in advance,
Tony
Just checked on mine as I usually use Poweramp. Switched it to no effects and then played a few songs. Restarted the phone and then went to the music player again and the no effects is still selected. So I'm not sure why your one is overriding the setting and reverting back to SRS.

Seriously? Is it just me or is anyone else having this issue? Just for info I'm running on ELEGANCIA Rom v1.3 and on stock kernel. I'm not really sure but I think I had the same issue when I was on Leedroid. Had the bug from the very start- so it shouldn't be an error in any custom apps. And I did a superwipe before flashing- so rules out errors there as well.
Like I mentioned earlier, it never stays on 'no effects'. It's always on SRS no matter what. The beats option works fine though..
If it helps I'm running ARHD 4.1.8 with the no-sense script. Have only just flashed back to this as was running the Miui rom but found the screens too awkward to organise. In saying that tho - you may find it its the Beats add on that is causing the effects.
Bump. Can I confirm if anyone else on Sense 3.5 w/ Beats add on is facing this?

It's a problem with beats mods up to a point and me and a couple of others have solved it and the best way to get rid of it is to flash my Beats Audio XE mod in the themes and apps section and it will be solved

Thanks mate, the beats mod from your thread seemed to solve the issue. Can select 'No effects' now and it sticks to it. However- it does revert back to SRS after a reboot- not an issue though, but is this set by default?
I have a similar issue with a stock sensation - however it always starts the player on no effects, rather than one of the equalizer settings it was left on previously. Maybe we should swap phones?

No, maybe a bad flash coz I don't have this problem, although maybe that's coz mine is permanently set on Beats Audio mode, I shall look into this though as I consider it a bug

[Q] beats audio?

What exactly is beats audio? Is it different hardware or just software? I have a sensation 4g and flashed numerous ROMs, some with and some without beats audio, and I can't tell any difference with the audio and I can't find any explanation and/or specs. Is there something I'm missing? I've just been assuming its hardware I don't have, so haven't much worried about it.
It's a software enhancement. Bit like the Equalizer in PowerAMP really.
Scroll down on this review which has a little bit of an explanation: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/13/htc-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio-review/
In my experience it makes my music sounds a bit more 'bassy' and loud. I quite like it since it seems suited to most of my music. But if I didn't have it, it wouldn't be something I really missed.

And only works with the HTC music player, not on CM9 or google music player. Meaning the beats audio setting is triggered in that app only.

Not entirely true. It may not work with those you have referenced, but it does work with other players than just the HTC software. Not sure what a software dev has to do to make use of it, but it is possible.

No he is right, we can't use it in other than HTC music until Sense 4.0 comes out

[Q] APP/MOD/HACK for Mic Gain while recording video

Hello!
Everyone knows about a piece of software which makes the camera record loud sound as for example on the iPhone4/4S?
Yesterday I recorded a video (Stereo recording UNCHCEKED) in a club - the video quality was OK, the sound was a distorted rubbish.
I searched the whole XDA, looks like SGS II has something like this. Anything for the Sensation?
Tried some suggestions - none working
Mine does it as well - I guess its hardware
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
The microphone of the Sensation is just ****. Nothing you can do about it.
Are you on an ICS Rom? The high gain got fixed in Sense 3.6. Also the camera in the market, Camera ICS, should help also. Its the same camera in the Galaxy Nexus. You can up the bitrate for better looking videos. The sound is mono, but it is not bad.

I have no problems with video. Loud audio (music) just can not be recorded - so far with none of the Android phones it seems.

DSP manager in CM10, no problem to control: the mic input - 4 levels. I can shoot videos with nice audio, for example a Rock Concert.:victory:
