I have been searching for sound booster app/solution but cant find one. I tried Voodoo's apps but they arent compatible with Skyrocket. Anyone figured this out?
Yep give up hope

The only success I had with increased volume was the xloud baked in sky ics. I miss it but I'm loving mhx.

Jacking up the EQs on Equalizer by Smart Audio Apps, market link, definitely boosts the sound but busts up quality. The reason I am looking for a solution to this is sometimes I get AVIs that are just a little too quiet. I could put them in a video program, adjust audio levels and export but its too much trouble.

I have not tried it as of yet, but I am looking for something to boost my speakerphone, it is terrible! Most of the apps distort the sound and make it unusable... interested in this one.
There are a few threads on this already. I have commented on all of them so far lol.
The quick and dirty is that it works for most. It works for me fine. You have to adjust the settings that fit you without busting your speaker lol.
I also use equalizer in conjunction with Volume+. Now I can hear the speakerphone. It's not perfect but it was better than it was IMO.
what i found for best results (i have it set like this on mine and my buddies)
Speaker option checked
volume boost is at +12
equalizer is on good quality
bass boost is on +5
as far as using the equalizer app and volume plus, i dont recommend it. usually causes slightly more muffled music in my opinion.
Thanx for the feedback guys, wot bout eq settings?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Just to throw my 2 cents in, Volume+ has little to no difference... I'm still searching for something similar to GalaxyS VooDoo Sound Hack.
I'm curious as to what voodoo is. I keep hearing its name and I kind of understand it. Would it boost my speaker volume? I don't listen to music on my phone as I have an iPod for that. So would I benefit from this? How do I go about adding it? I am on HellFire 1.8 bye too. I'm sorry if this has been asked already I did a search and didn't see anything.

If you don't listen to music on your phone, it doesn't really make a difference for you. On the G2x, it just increases headphone volume. But if you did want it, install Voodoo control from the Market, plug in some headphones, and enable it. From there, you can increase the Max dB settings to increase/decrease volume.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any suggestions for a good and safe volume boost? My speakers seem really quiet.

On Galaxy S phones, it has a huge increase in sound quality. On the G2x, it only affects volume, based on personal experience. From the Market description:
Market description said:
Introduces LG Optimus 2x and T-Mobile G2x support.
11.Sound quality is not yet optimal on these devices: needs a lot of work to fix LG issues in their audio implementation and then add more quality optimizations.

volume+ for boost on speakers I believe, and ya I only notice volume with voodoo with headphones no real sound improvements in my opinion.
The DSP Manager lets you tweak the sound as well and I noticed a big improvement in quality using that. It comes with HFP
Pin it to Win it.
Don't give false info...u can't just install the app. You have to have a kernel that enables it. The app just controls it

From the Market for Voodoo Sound app.
Description
This app controls Voodoo sound for Galaxy S, Nexus S phones Galaxy Tab and Asus Transformer running custom kernels implementing Voodoo patches.
If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root.
Stock CM kernel does not support Voodoo, but Faux's does.
Just FYI

The only benifit to the g2x that i know of is the increase in dB which is helpful for using with a tape player adapter in a car stereo and driving headphones with slightly higher Ohms.
Also, I get louder volume on the tape adapter which helps with avoiding static by not having to turn the volume up so high.
Just a heads up to those who may not know, there is a Beats Audio/xLoud mod/port on the board and it works on the Atrix 2. Beats adds a deeper, cleaner bass and cleans up the mids/highs too. xLoud is a Sony Ericsson thing, it basically boosts the overall volume of ur audio. I just flashed this mod to my phone and holy ****, huge difference! I had to turn all my volumes down media/ringer/alarms. My good cans are packed (moving this weekend) so no testing with them yet but after hearing the difference I just heard with only the phone speaker I'm expecting to be very happy.

where is the xloud .zip file?
Whoa - déjà vu!
xLoud is included in the zip.
Audio volume really is increased overall (I too had to turn everything down) and the beats makes the bass sound sweet!

Yep, very noticeable difference. This one is much better than the first one w/o xLoud.

Maybe its just me, but I can't seem to find a difference in quality using the car dock. Audio goes out the car docks 3.5mm jack to my Volvo s60r's stereo. I was hoping for some more volume.

Tried this tweak last week and it's great. My highs have come alive and it sounds much cleaner.
So how does the mod affect the Motorola stock equalizer?
I'm assuming the beats audio is only effective in the My Music app? So do I have to disable the "Effects" in settings to hear the Beats Audio? Or should I switch that to custom?
This work well seems crisper...... Did notice if the bass is overpowering the mids and lows go to sound settings and un-tick enable audio effects..... For me with headphones will set effects enabled effects profile custom surround ambient eq bass punch WOW!!!!!

Mine are....I have had to turn all my volumes down since installing this mod. I haven't done any critical listening since I don't use my phone like that anyway, I was just hoping for louder system sounds and that's exactly what I got. The Beats is just an added bonus.
Ok are we supposed to download the one that says older zip files test301.zip or the allandroidzip.zip that looks to be the newest?

Works great thanks! Sounds a lot better ican tell right away
So im sorry but I did this. And to be honest it didn't sound better at all. In fact I think it was worse everyone keeps saying stuff like wow... what a difference. But I hear worse clarity, more bass but... im a musician and so sounds I hear more clearly maybe than most but Idk.... anyways like I said im not trying to be rude.

Yea these are some of the same complaints I've heard about the actual beats headphones because they're made really for more hip hop songs and not a wide range of music the highs are where those headphones usually suffer IMO

Hi all,
I am just wondering if anyone has heard of an update by supercurio for a newer voodoo sound codec for the g2x. The development on github shows nothing has been done on it in nearly a year.
I really like high quality music and a higher version is the only piece missing from my puzzle.
Any news at all would be great for better or worse. Have a great day everyone!

The g2x doesn't truly support voodoo, so he most likely discontinued work for it.
All voodoo can do on the g2x is amplify the audio.
I flashed the beats audio apk and used voodoo to turn up the amp.
Sounds great and I can get the loudness I wanted.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I wish there would be sound improvements with all this stuff but I see little to no difference! My real question is how loud do you guys need the music to be lol, if I turn it all the way up on my crappy ear buds I eventually have to turn it down cause its too loud, and my right ear is 60ish % cause of gun fire and fire works and stuff haha.

Just in my truck. I have a tape player with an adapter to use the stock stereo. The amp boost allows me to drowned out try he tape player sounds. Haha

Thanks for the feed back everyone! Looks like its v1 for life lol.
FYI I run voodoo sound (as I hear it improve sound quality), with Neutron mp3 player no settings on (improves sampling to 32 bit instead of 16 bit like other players), along with equalizer app with basic EQ setting to get bass n treble poppin and just the reverb set to large hall.
320 kbps mp3's sound out of this world on my Sennhieser 598.
That is what I found works for me. These days I am finding less is more for sound quality and no longer use beats audio or my fiio e5.

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.
