Built in Equalizer

Not sure if this is old news to everyone else, but I just stumbled across it (a month later) But the default music player has a built in equalizer. If you press the menu button while the app is open and tap settings it's there. You can also turn on a little visualization. Like I said not sure if everyone else knows this , but it's kinda cool.

Looool I thought I had noticed it late too. Inha en used google music but voodoo and 5.1 surround sound sound awesome ha. The

Lol, good I don't feel so bad now. I just purchased these little IHome speakers http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iHM60GX/ and they sound really good when you adjust the EQ!

I personally like the stock player with Voodoo sound.
I use it in my car plugged into the
Aux. Port. Great sound!

I agree with Corvette Dave. I purchased the HU in my truck for the USB port but I actually use my phone and the AUX port more. The infuse with voodoo sound sounds great with the stock player.

Yeah, products seldom ship with hardcopy manuals anymore. You have to download it from the product page (which the forum isn't letting me link to, but just Google "infuse manual").

personally I prefer using the DSPManager from cyanogen mod rom. It works great even without CM7 installed

Can u push dspmanager to stock froyo or do u have to be on gb Roman?

Yes, according to the link, it will work on any gingerbread rom. I installed it about 30 min ago, and can notice a slight difference on my low-grade headphones. Will try again on my good ones at work.
EDIT: I'm at work, using good headphones, and the quality difference is distinct enough to notice easily.

has anybody flashed this yet? Cuz last time I modified stuff with the audio my phone bootlooped. So I don't wanna flash cuz I'm away for weekend

Just installed it on my phone. I have ZAGG buds which have decent sound for their price (I got them half off too). I admit I'm a little skeptical being a little more on the casual audiophile side. I know that with the DAC this phone has, high quality music shouldn't need silly gimmicks to make it sound better, but I'm about to see what I think now I guess!
Edit: Bah, I'm dumb and listened to Spotify before I applied so I had a crappy comparison. Anyway, playing FLAC in PowerAMP after installing sounds pretty good, but I almost feel like I hear a little compression that may be caused by Beats. Might remove the mod and test some more over the weekend. Overall it sounds pretty great though. No complaints.

Beats audio is software EQ only. Voodoo Control app is more functional, better, and doesn't consume battery life as an extra EQ layer on top of your audio. Also according to supercurio (twitter.com/supercurio), the ports violate HTC and Beatsbydre licensing, while also asking for donations for violating said license.

Well...that threads been out a while, so apparently someone got permission, so until they start shutting threads down i say beats is much more clear than voodoo... Good job bro...

So I just put this onto my phone today, which has Revelation Rom on it. Downloaded the file from my browser, then rebooted to recovery. I made a backup of my system through recovery when it rebooted to it. Then I flashed the zip, rebooted phone and voila! The phone seems like the audio is much better, but I don't know if there is anywhere to verify the flash took. There is no app in my app folders, maybe theres a beats folder in my phone somewhere.

The are multiple files. One that you can just check is in the system/bin folder. You will see files that say ibeats in them. That is the only folder i can remember right now.

I'm sure supercurio would disagree.
but voodoo and this are two different things with different purposes. cant be compared. voodoo is an open source driver from wolfson for our chip hacked into a module to replace the closed source Samsung driver unlocking some native features and givving acess to the hardware volume control. there is more it does on cm7 but it was left out of the Samsung roms because we have some software correction or emulation or eq in our libs that the rom depends on and can't be turned off. supercurio didn't want to stack layers of emulation or correction because of unpredictable or poor results or an effect of diminishing return.
this is software effects and/or equalization. the problem I have with that is the nature and quality of the effects is unknown. it may be sophisticated correction for the htc hardware and possibly have negative effects on our hardware. it might just be some compression or reverb to emulate a listening environment, might be a combination. we dont actually know. we also don't know how this plus our Samsung software is really effecting the integrity of the signal. but if you think it helps by all means use it. I personally see no reason to mess with it especially on a Samsung rom.

Voodoo +dsp

So who thinks they have them playing nice with each other? I'm running Erik miui with both installed but one is always overtaking the other. I prefer voodoo bass boost over dsp and would always trash dsp in favor if the tw music player/EQ; however, with miui i don't think this is an option. the miui music eq doesn't seem to be as crisp on the high end as dsp nor is it optimized for our device (hence the distortion at high gains). thoughts, suggestions, experiences?

I use voodoo only on unnamed. The sound quality is better without dsp for me. I tried all sorts of settings combinations, voodoo only, dsp only, both together, in the end I always uninstall dsp.

Bass
The only way I've been able to use them in combo is by not applying anything other then the volume key hack from voodoo. Works great for me since I prefer that from voodoo and bass and equalizer from DSP. If you set up the bass on Voodoo and the EQ on DSP they will not play nice as you've found out. It's a one or the other type of thing.

I have both on Val Final. I haven't had any problems yet.

So glad no one said "just use poweramp"
on unnamed I too just rip out dsp.
the dsp eq sets the bass gains too high without any sort of limiter for our hardware. I think that is what makes it so distorted at louder volumes

ROM/KERNEL Combo that doesn't introduce skipping music?

Howdy all, after some advice please. Been trying a few different ROM'S & Kernels and can't find a combination that doesn't skip while playing music. Maybe I have a dud phone? It is pretty random and not all the time but is very annoying.
Baseband V20c currently using meemo's DNA GB 3.3.3 ROM with samno's new super stock Kernel.
Sent from my skipping LG-P920 using XDA

Probably has more to do with sd card and read ahead speeds/caching
Try an app like SD speed increase and try different settings to see which works best. 4096 works best for me. Also minimizes micro skips in video recording too...

Thanks mate will try that, had myself convinced it was from using sd boost at one stage!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA

Going to jinx myself but I think it is my external sd card. Bummer so much for getting a 32GB class 10 card. Music hasn't skipped once from the internal card.
Ahhh, would you believe it skipped while typing this!
Think I need a new phone.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA

Still happening
I have flashed a heap of different ROM's and Kernel's to no avail. Intermittent skipping on internal and external cards.
Can the baseband effect this? I am on V20c and maybe that is why the ROM/Kernel's are playing up?
Don't want to go to cyanogenmod (loose 3D) but it is the one that seems to work best.
Maybe I need to get a Gnote and just keep the O3D as a 3D camera.
Any ideas, willing to try almost anything now, love my tunes and it is driving me crazy

From what I know, it can't be the baseband. It only manage your network, I think. Flashing rom with wrong baseband-the only effect is, you don't have network.

Well been running cyanogenmod now and not one skip. DSP manager is pretty great as well. Might just have to make do with out the 3d I guess.

Switched to Power Amp on your suggestion and put both the options for audio skip (buffer & priority) on full and it seems to have done the trick!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Just wanted to share my two cents... I love the app called n7player... it has a neat feature for streaming music to itself to fix the skip issue... it works great but it eats battery...
Then one day I tried playing some music that was FLAC format... where a single 3 min song takes up like 25 megabytes...
And I had to download a special app that could play flac. And I am amazed that a 25 mgbyte file plays flawlessly with out a single skip... but standard mp3 at about 5 mgbytes skips every few seconds...
So I tried this with several other audio formats... from .wav to .wma to .mpg and they all played fine
All played from my ext SD by the way.. so I don't think it is a problem with read write speed..
Whichever leads me to question...
Anyone know if our phones have a hard time decoding/extracting mp3 compressed audio

I feel as if the o3d was rushed, like they had the hardware part down but not the software part. So we got beta software they released it then they lost intrest in the o3d ($800 from me) they released other phones and then came ics and they were like, oh sh!t lets give them gb yeah that should keep them busy till the next version of android.
We gonna get ics when all the other devices spit on ics and look at it with shame ang lg will be like look theres ics we promised you there it is and will be like, but but what about jellybean which they will respond.. whoa we never said anything about jellybean buy the new 2013 Optimus 3d maX Ultra With ICS then you might get jellybean when android 5.0 comes out lol.
went off topic Also on the Gnexus so it depends i use to have stuttering when i had crossfade on and the stock player has never stuttered.

CyanogenMod works great, except for the fact that when I use it in my car through aux it pauses itself and even when it does play it sounds stuffed!

The only thing that works is cyanogenmod. Just don't turn the volume up past 75% when using auxiliary out (car etc) as it pauses by itself. Loud as at 75% anyway and no skipping / glitching while playing music!

A quick summary: It makes your music sound better with various mods including Team AC!D's own modifications. Check out the thread for details and how to flash it.
I've used this on Embryo 5.3, AOKP, and Slimbean. All was working fine. Follow the instructions their thread and you should be fine. I won't be say if this or another mod is better for the same reason that "which ROM is better?" threads aren't allowed.

Been using it for a bit now and I'm getting mixed feelings. Since I use power amp religiously, I did not download the Walkman player, but instead opted for their eq app. The adjustments in the eq all are pretty good and very noticeable when using he YouTube app, but hardly noticeable at all while playing music in power amp. I had all power amps eq and any sound settings turned off and still couldn't hear any discernable difference with any changes in their eq app. Very weird.
