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

Flashed on R3volution. Sounds great. No issues. Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, though.

Flashed on Zeus 5.2 no problems on boot. No app settings, I didn't really read about it in the thread hehe.
I don't have my headphones on me right now but I played the stock player on the phone speaker and it was noticeably louder.

Flashed this on the stock lb3 and works flawlessly. Five Finger Death Punch has never sounded this clean.

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.

I had the same thing happen but found it to be something that titanium backup was restoring.

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...

Flashed on Revelation, no problems that weren't there before.
As for audio quality, I'll test that when I'm not at work.

what's the best music app to go with this? =D

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.

can MEGA BASS BEATS BE PORTED TO THE ATRIX 2?

i came across this, will this work for us?

Probably but more bass does not mean better quality audio, if anything this would sacrifice quality to give more bass.

Make a backup of your current setup. Download the Beats Audio for any phone from the Rezound forum. Try that out. Also, DSP with Beats works well for combo EQ. You may try Poweramp or other music apps as well. The more you have, the more customization, but also a little hassle on remembering. Poweramp has the Beats and SRS effects included on devices with supported hardware.

I second poweramp. I hate buying apps but it is so worth the price. just make sure you don't have beats installed as they don't always play nice. It has a much better equalizer than any standalone app.

I love the Dspmanager but PLEASE fix it on ICS

Cause I'm currently on cm7 gingerbread and the dsp when playing dubstep on my sexy pair of 40 dollar headsets make my ears bleed perfect clean bass and cm9 and over doesn't have that crystal clear bass and wont play on most apps (ex. Pandora YouTube other music players.) Hopefully there's a fix

1) Delete DSP.
2) Install Volume+ by Meltus (works on GB, ICS, and JB).

also try the awesome beats flashable. you can find it in weekends mirror thread. it is a modified dsp manager for ics

I've tried beats audio plugin, volume+ and DSP manager on CM9 and none of them came close to the DSP in CM7. I know it takes a lot of time to equalize but if you have your mp3 tracks at 320kbits and get the audio equalization right, it sounds perfect with a good pair of headphones/earphones.
I don't know why they crippled it so much in CM9.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

I have tried Volume+ with Beats Audio drivers as per the recommendation of some other users here and it made NO difference to my music. Sounds exactly the same as stock, or the difference is so subtle I can't notice.
Don't know why everyone knocks the DSP manager so much. It worked marvelously for me and made some really bad phones sound usable. My Klipsch Image S4s used to sound amazing with DSP
Even without enhancements of any kind, music will skip/click when the phone is in use. That does not change no matter what player you use.
In school at the moment, so I don't have enough time to care, or wipe and reflash again for the 5th time.... Perilously waiting for the update to end all updates

I've never applied the Beats drivers.

Eh I'm using volplus but its not the same as cm7.1 but I guess I got to deal with it or use poweramp
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda app-developers app

in my experience, dspmanager was pretty bad on cm 9.1.0 (i mostly used the bass boost function) and on all three slight moderate modes it would sound terrible. i'm on wildchild ice (latest nightly) and dsp manager, atleast bassboost, is significantly better. before i used to just get a lot of noise, now atleast its cleaner.

well i tested volume+ other equalizer and none comes close to the dsp on cm7 i guess ill stick to poweramp its just others its not clear its distored or hurts the ears dsp on cm7 is just PERFECT i was wondering if i grab the cm7 dsp app backing it up using titanium backup and restore it on ICS?

awesome beats is not a plugin it is an app. it is a modified dsp for ics here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732763
also in settings>sounds>music enhancements make sure awesome beats is checked

i really like the program but its not as close as the cm7 dsp but oh well i stayed on cm7 im getting alot of dsp force close no big deal plus it doesnt work on other apps like pandora and other apps besides apollo

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.

does poweramp (or any 3rd party app for that matter) let you play your clouded Googlemusic?

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

Working DSP manager/Awesome beats

Has anyone found a working DSP manager or awesome beats for roms like liquid that doesn't distort bass? Thanks!

I would like this also! I cant find anything.....

Good question, I recently tried AC!D and beats, both were a no go. After installing beats it would just freeze my phone shortly after booting. I think acid is only for local music players though (correct me if I'm wrong), I'd like something that works with Play Music and Pandora. Not really a huge concern of mine until someone can confirm something works without bugs.

Have you tried Noozxoide? I have had success with it on every ROM it has been installed on and it works across all apps.

Have you considered an eq application? That is all beats audio is. I can't speak for dolby, Sony, and others.
I'm an avid audiophile, so I know eq can be tedious if you want a set it and forget it option, but it is worth it, to me.

I did try Noozxoide when installing acid, I played with the EQ while using Play Music and Pandora, but I didn't notice a single change. Maybe I didn't select the correct settings while installing. It also made everything extremely loud to the point where it was like meant for people with hearing problems.

Beats Audio and DSP isn't just an eq app. There are libs added into the soundfx folder so it'll work properly. I have also tried Noozoxide and I haven't noticed any changes when changing the eq levels

So what would one have to do to get the libraries to work with dsp if I am using it on liquid Rom for example. I have it on carbon with dsp functioning well but before on liquid it just didn't do anything. Does it have to be compiled into the actual rom source

No it does not. Usually it'll come with the rom or there will be a flash able zip floating around with the files. What I'm having issues with is getting it to work on liquid without the bass becoming over powerful that it sounds distorted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I have realized that it is hit or miss when it comes to this. Sometimes I get it to work on one ROM but can't on another ROM. I also noticed that you have to have some pretty good headphones to really get to know the difference in the audio quality.
