Internal EQ adjustment?

Is there any way to globally adjust the eq? I would like to tweak Pandora's output but can't. I saw a mod for the Droid, I think it was called milestone eq or something. If anyone has ideas or maybe something can be added to one of the upcoming rom's...
Thanks....

This shouldn't be in the development section, but I may include Voodoo sound in my next kernel. Then you'll be able to adjust a lot of settings.

Thx, I wasn't sure where to put it....

if it is a question put it in general untill we have a q&a section, it is safer there. maybe if the qiestions are development related (like you are in the middle of a project and need input and plan to post the project later in the same thread) you might get away with it.
to answer the question there is an eq widget in the market but i didnt care for the quality and there is an app called galaxy tuner (also in the market) for the i9000 and other phones with similar hardware that works on the infuse. dont use it on the external speaker(bug results in lost ringtones) but it works great for headphones. it also has a "3d sound" option that works pretty nice, better than any other audio enhancement i have seen on an andriod phone.

The problem with the marketplace apps is that they only work for music played in a music player, not streamed through services like Pandora. I'll check out the ones you mentioned though...

galaxy tuner claims to be a hardware eq, it is at minimum a global eg, it is not a music player but an app that sets many hardware and kernel setting that you otherwise dont have access to. it works! the eq widget (dont remember the name) also works but i never got a good balance out of it.

Atrix 2 Music Player Sound Quality Improvement?

Is there any way to improve the sound quality, its not horrible but Im wondering if it is, on here Ive seen something like this for the galaxy S2
"samsung-galaxy-s2-sii-via-dsp-manager-cyanogenmod-7-music-player" guess you all will have to google it without the quotes because I cant post links right now since Im new, but it should be the first link that comes up.
Do I need to have CyanogenMod installed (Which we cant right now of course) to use this or is it just the player ripped from there and I can install like a regular rooted app

If I'm not mistaken it should just be a simple apk. You can dump it in your system apps folder or install it normally. Those apps.are just heavily skinned and tweaked to work with a broader spectrum of devices. If.you get the music player can u upload it here as well?

Yeah, go to settings/audio effects and you can set two different profiles, one for the phone speaker and one for the headphone port, check it out.

By default the music player has a bunch of horrible sound effects enabled. Turn them off and I think you'll find it's much better.
settings - audio effects

thanx for the input I went through and compared it with the stock and poweramp and im not noticing an extreme improvement in the sound to justify removing the stock music app Ill just stick with poweramp and i did turn off the audio effects and it does sound much better too

Really the music app im referring to isnt that great either to me its simple which is ok but I like the functionality for poweramp better ie.. player screen available when locked etc... but Ill try to remember to post a link up once Im back on my comp but if you dont want to wait for me to post the app up you can google what Ive got in quotes and it should be the first link

PA is my music player of choice too.

Folder based music player?

Hi guys,
I´m looking for a folder based music player. What I´d really like is something that would allow you to long press over a music folder and click "play"...something like that.
I was using Mortplayer but I got fed up with it.

Vanilla Music?

The best one I've used so far is FOLDER PLAYER by peter shashkin quite straight forward and really easy to use. I use it on my dx100 music player and its awesome
Sent from my MZ601 using xda app-developers app

Ubermusic seems to do the trick for me. Might be a fair bit old since the last update but is pretty stable compared to other players. Also uses the WP7/Metro theme look too.

PlayerPro can do this, but it isn't free (it's $5). If you long-press a folder you can get Play, Enqueue, Shuffle, Add to Playlist, etc., etc.
I don't use the folder feature (I prefer to use the metadata sort, usually by artist/band), but I have used it. It works good.

Best folder players
Poweramp .. not free but above all others
Mixzing .. has free and premium .. give free version a shot .. has lyric support too

I fully suggest poweramp. Especially if your device supports DVC

Great apps for features and functionality!!

Hey so recently I've discovered viper4android. Love it like 10X more than DSP. DSP is still a solid app though. This is what I want.
I want to know about more apps like viper4android, permission control apps, etc. Anything you can think of with great features, functionality, real good UI. I've seen a few threads but thought they only ok. Root or non root doesn't matter to me. Just wanna know about some must have apps that add functionality, are really helpful and do it well! links are welcome too!
Let's see what you guys got.

1. GMD Gesture Control
2. Llama
3. Tasker
I use Jet Audio Player together with Viper4Android.

Why Jet audio? what are some features you like about it?

Simply because it sounds better and clearer and supports .flac format.

viper4android is great -
especially i love the "Differential Sound" in my car - its the only app that can make that
i do not know if many people know -
by setting 2-5ms delay you get a pretty nice stage from your speaker - way better than without
other people buy high end car audio systems to get this option - its made to correct the runtime of the sound - different distance between your ear and the left and right speakers of your car ...
Try it out - you will like it!!

Viper Audio Mod (root required)

THIS IS NOT MY MOD. I AM NOT THE DEVELOPER. GO TO THE OFFICIAL THREAD AND SUPPORT THE DEVS CAUSE THIS MOD IS A BEAST.
This is by far the best sounding device for the Viper mod (imo).
Follow this link and READ the op, then download zip for the latest version near the bottom of post #1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Or visit there official website http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48
Extract the file for 4.xx / open file / install apk.
Open the app and you will be prompted to install the driver. Choose high quality then it will install the driver and prompt you to reboot once completed. That's it! Once installed, you can then check for updated versions in the settings menu which is a nice feature.
To Start:
You will probably want the FX Compatible Mode set to Compatible since most music players EQ will not work together with the mod (settings / FX Compatible Mode / Compatible).
The stock music player is not compatible so you'll need to find one you like that is. I use power amp, but there is a setting you must enable for it to work. settings / audio / advanced tweaks / direct volume control and musicfx checked. Once this is done, return to the EQ settings and go to Tone/Vol tab. Make sure MusicFX is lit up. Sometimes the player will fug up and disable this while you're listening but still lit up. Just push it off then back on.
In Viper, there are three levels of settings. Go into settings / UI Setting and you'll see beginner, moderate, and expert. Each open a little more options in the main settings that will let you tweak the hell out of this thing. Most of what I tweak is only available in expert.
My Settings:
Ok, Let me start by saying that I listen to heavy metal so my overall experience may be different from yours unless you're a bad ass like me
Also, I pretty much use this in my car so my settings will likely sound different on what you've got. I have a 10'' sub with just 300 watts and factory door speakers. My power amp eq is only moved one notch up starting at 250 then two notches at 4k and 8k and the tone and limit buttons are off. When using the same settings, Country music and other stuff (Alice in Chains, Aaron Lewis, Stained etc.) sounds great too. To test the limit of your system and start with a good base, play some high quality classical music while tuning your settings.
For my car, I have the headset tweaked WITHOUT certain modes on to reduce constant 'waves' in the music.
- Playback Gain Controll, Field Surround, Differential Surround, Headphone Surround+, and Reverberation are all disabled.
- FIREquilizer is set at "Rock" then tweaked to reduce the low and high, and add a little mids.
- Impulse Response Samples (irs). I enable the convolver from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439254. READ UP on this because it's difficult for me to explain. I just started using this one so I'm playing around with the different impulse resonse mods, but BBE Harmonic Maximizer Preset 2.irs is pretty damn nice. There are directions on how to install the files in that op.
- Dynamic System is enabled on mine. This will be part of where you will need to keep adjusting the settings to your liking. I use "Common Earphone(v2)" and set the dynamic bass at 4%.
- Fidelity Control is another one you will need to tweak. I enable ViPER bass, bass mode subwoofer, bass frequency 100 Hz, ViPER clarity is enabled, natural clarity mode, clarity at 6.0 dB.
The bass, guitars and kick drums come through the speakers without any distortion and the mids / highs are clear as hell without too much treble.
If you use headphones, you will probably need to modify your settings and use some of the surround sound stuff. I save two separate effect profiles though. This also applies to watching movies. You'll wanna play around with the settings and irs mods.

Good question. I guess it depends on what eq it uses. I deleted Google play music but I'll try Pandora and let you know.
-edit. Pandora doesn't work for me but there might be a way to enable it which would be in the dev's thread. I don't think it uses your device to control the sound though. Someone test Google play music and reply.

It's like that for a couple of players. Glad it works for you! Have fun tweaking

Really want to use this to improve the sound in my car, but it needs root. I'm a bit afraid of getting the phone rooted by now due to problem with Kingo.

Guys, this is a callable in the play store. Just download, install, profit. Or is this different from the play store version?

this audio mod is the reason I rooted my note 3

I'm going to root to use it, I have bad tinnitus and the cure tech+ really helps it.
