[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.

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

Pull it from a ROM that has it and push into system apps with root explorer. Or, if you look hard enough, I want to say theres an apk for it in one of ravers threads.

I use both and I use miui eq works good and makes my phone extra loud

Thank you! The one on the second page of the thread worked perfect! The one in the op worked but I got a couple FCs when turning on the EQ. Thanks again!

I like the combination of all voodoo options along with DSP acoustic EQ.

Beats Audio on our Charge

I was browsing the Rezound development section today(just felt like seeing how lively it was in case i decide to jump aboard the Rezound ship) and I found a thread that puts Beats Audio on all your apps, I checked the comments and the OP said he's tested it on the Charge and it works. Says it should be compatible with all ROMs in fact.
"*SHOULD* be compatible with all roms on all devices running 2.3 and up.
I have tested it on
Rezound, Fascinate , Charge, Galaxy Nexus, OG Droid , and Droid 3 ... seemed to work on all those ."
I have yet to test it as I don't very much care for Beats Audio, just thought I'd share.

there's actually a beats audio installer on the market

Isn't that **** just a gimmick anyways?

Yes

Beats is only good if you like a whole bunch of bass and nothing else. It sounds like a complete muddy mess to my ears. My girlfriend has a Rezound and it sounds like crap to me. It has no tonal balance whatsoever and there's no way to adjust it. To each their own, but I need some treble.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2

Beats is just a predefined EQ setting, nothing more and nothing less. It's good for hip hop, dance music, and some pop if you're using headphones. Other than that, worthless. And, if you have Voodoo Sound, it'll do a better job on your headphones than Beats will.
Voodoo Sound > Beats.

You can see what beats is doing here, but note that the frequency response curve the HTC One X as measured here is borked to begin with. It is still easy to see what the Beats EQ is doing though.

So yeah, screw Beats and their stupid crap.
Voodoo FTW. Seriously, Voodoo is underrated around here. IT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.
I suggest Neutron Player if you want more flexibility than the Voodoo Sound Bass Boost.
Lastly, anybody have DSP Manager working on the Charge?

I would guess that it would be included in jt's CM9 ROM, no? Other than that, I don't think anyone has it working on Gingerbread (please correct me if I'm wrong).
If you're looking for legit EQ abilities, check out PowerAmp if you haven't already.

I was more curious than anything. Voodoo is awesome already.
I recommend Neutron Player if you want to really tailor your sound. Poweramp, IMO, ruins sound quality when any of the tone or EQ filters are active (even with neutral adjustments, just having it toggled on.)
Neutron iz the biz.

Voodoo Sound Plus is about as essential on this phone as Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. Seriously, it's that good.

I've run it on EP4 and it runs fine. You just have to get the apk and install it.

Yes, Voodoo Sound really is that good. I've been using since day 1 of getting my Charge(almost a year ago). And yes, Beats is just a sales gimmick. I only posted this as I'm sure there are some people who would like to try out Beats on a non-HTC phone. I'm tempted to try it just to see how high i can get the bass to kick on this phone without distorting my music but Voodoo + Poweramp presets works fine for me at the moment.

Not entirely sure. It's been a while since I did it, and I found the apk online. It worked for me though. I'll see if I still have the apk somewhere. If I do it'll be on my laptop at home.

Could not install man. I tried jt 's no go either. I have a dspapk from around the web, but compression doesn't work, and that is key. Gonna try pulling it off my evo on deck's 2.3.7 tomorrow maybe. Thanks anyway. I will post it if it does work.

There isn't even a comparison between Voodoo Sound and Beats.

Beats

Is there a way to add beats or voodoo

I have a One X and the only thing Beats does is crank up the bass so that it overwhelms everything else. The Note has the same Wolfson DAC that's in the SGS3 so supercurio's VooDoo apps should be compatible. Note I said "should." No one's reported using them yet so you may want to do some investigation first.

In case you are one of those audiophiles, installing beats audio is the worst you can do.
I have beats audio on my Galaxy wifi 4.0 and it's hard to uninstall on the rom I'm using. It never reached the soundquality and dynamic of just having Voodoo+PowerAmp.
Wait for a Voodoo compatible Kernel or for Supercurio (did he managed to put voodoo on S3 already?)

Yes voodoo would bee nice but for now I'll use beats

Beats is horrid. I have it on my rezound and always turn it off.

best audio enhancer? [beats/dsp]

which one do you have a better experience with?
i'm currently running aokp's jb build4... any help would be appreciated.
also, links to working versions? i found the beats xda thread, but i cant find anything substantial on a jellybean version of dsp.
i've also heard that beats only works w/ certain apps while dsp is across the board?
thanks

DSP. Beats is quick an easy, but you can't fine tune like you can with DSPManager.
Just download any CM rom and extract DSPManager.

I'll skip the Beats gimmick and stick with direct audio output from VooDoo Sound thank you very much.

DSPManager is good to compensate for somewhat subpar speakers/headphones though. You know, like most portable headphones that people buy. =)

I think voodoo does the trick, that and I use the awesome equalizer in poweramp

DSP seems to be the standard in most custom ROMS. Voodoo gives color control but is for more advanced users. I find Beats to be more for the person who uses there phone as their iPod with fancy high dollar headphones.

Fortunately, if you use euroskank roms or slim roms they will have voodoo settings integrated into the DSPManager, as long as the kernel supported it as well.

Unfortunately, poweramp doesn't, and I assume other 3rd party players don't either. But that's not a big problem here in Canada, where Google music isn't really supported
