3-band equalizer for Android

heres a simple equalizer i found has "Bass" , "Mid" , "Treble" control.
FINALLY a equalizer for android, Even though it still simple its a good start.
BETTER THAN NOTHING, one thing im not happy is that theres no good or any equalizer on the android market.
GIVE CREDIT TO THE DEVELOPER. (he searching for developers to help him out)
http://code.google.com/p/smuuz/
enjoy

any feedback on this?
Does it work in all apps, all "types" (i.e. Media volume, ring volume, etc) of sound?

its only supports "mp3" with 3 simple equalizer.

I get alot of distortion. But its a great start.

Glad to see progress with the eqs.... This is pretty buggy for me at the moment. Too bad all the devs who've broken ground on the eq are trying to build their own music apps bundled. Hopefully a standalone eq app like srswow will eventually be released.

Mixzing now has an EQ (only works when program is on the screen (no background play)..

yeah, the one on Mixzing is actually pretty cool

Music apps

Hi is there anyone notice about the music apps frequently change or stop the music automatically when you lock the phone?
And at times it automatically call my phone contacts...

Not to completely hijack, but I too have a question about a music player and don't want to put up a new thread:
Does anyone have a recommendation for an app that is: low-resource, devoid of lockscreen freezing/dialing (no exp with this, but above poster made it sound terrible), and supports control via a2dp/bluetooth?
I frequently use my phone as my GPS in my car and would like to be able to run a music app in the background that I can control from a bluetooth headset. I assume that there are some "simple" music apps that require fewer resources in the background.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Is the sensation powerful enough that any old app should run fine in the background?
Best,

PowerAMP hands down is the best application I have used, and trust me, I lost count of how many different ones I have tried. It isn't cheap though at $4.99, but give the 2 week FULL trial a test drive and see if you like it. I liked it so much I bought it. It has all the features you requested above.

[Q] possible to increase volume?

hey guys. i like watching movies and shows on the Xoom. but i've found that unless i'm using headphones, the volume leaves much to be desired for the most part. this doesn't happen when watching youtube videos or listening to music. but anything played through rockplayer or moboplayer (i.e. avis, mp4s, etc) leaves me wanting more volume.
is there a way to increase the volume on the Xoom like there is for the Evo and other android devices through qpst or other apps?
thanks

Try Volume+. It's what I am using.

Just installed Volume+ but won't have a chance to play with it until later. What settings do you use?

You can also use Equalizer from Smart Android Apps. I use this for my general music listening and it automatically adjusts the EQ based on the type of music I am listening to. What you can also do is manually adjust the EQ settings and boost the volume quite a bit. You do have to be careful though as you can easily distort the sound if you boost it too much. The paid version gives you the ability to create and edit the EQ presets and added widget support. Otherwise the free version works great and is pretty feature packed.
I looked through the market for "Volume+" and could not find it. Can you provide a link?

Here it is:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&feature=search_result
My settings on this are:
Speaker Volume Level +4
Headset Volume Level +3
Bluetooth Volume Level +4
I'm sure I could go higher, but there's no need for me to. I've not changed the EQ settings, but it allows you to do that as well. I've used PowerAmp and love it, because of its EQ function. But with this Volume+ I've been using the stock music player and am quite happy. And this solved the low volume issue I was having with my Jawbone Jambox bluetooth speaker.

Awesome catch man! Installed it and I'm loving the increased volume!! That was one of the only problems I had with my Xoom.

[APP][3.0+] Around Sound - Have your phone pay attention while you enjoy your music

Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Link:
Free Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs

- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start

- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:

-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy S7

I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?

i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations
anyway if it is...would be a great addition

I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.

Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.

Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.
Any idea when you think you might be able to look into that lower latency JB API?

This is so genius! Installing now!

I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!
It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.

Got the pro just to support the Dev. Great idea and great work. Keep it up man!

Sounds perfect....

i saw this while ago and was going to use it but deleted it by accident and than forgot about it this has reignited me to use it now ill download it later.
any news on the bluetooth issue as i have bluetooth headphones and there not mono and was wondering if it work well or not with em?

Wow...this is great. Thank you.

I like the sound of this (No pun intended) but I've only got bluetooth stereo headphones with a mic. so I'll have to wait until it supports them.

App2SD would be nice ...

I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works!

Will this save me if I end up in the middle of a shoot out, and I have in noise canceling headphones? As bizarre as that sounds... I'm paranoid lol

Possibly... but I make no guarantees

New Angle
So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound

Awesome work
Works fine on my good old Galaxy Tab (where the app "Equalizer" from the Play Store ceased to work since cm is running on it (at last for the speakers)). Thank you very much.
(Now if we could have shortcuts to user presets on the home screen like in Equalizer … But even without it, I'm happy.)

Thank you for feedback! We are going to implement widget in next update.

I somehow have to correct myself. The equalizer works well when I play samples from within the app itself or start TuneIn Radio. It has no effect with PowerAmp or Xiialive. What comes to my mind is that the latter two have their own equalizers built-in.
The sliders are a little hard to operate. Until now, I had only a chance to try it on my Galaxy Tab P1000, cm10.2, using its speakers. The S2 will follow, but this may take a few days.
A widget is coming ... good news!

Thank you for the great app,,,, testing it on my htc rhyme stock ics and sensation xe running revelation 1.0.2 both working good but sometimes the sound crash a bit maybe you can fix that in the next update.... thank you very much

thank you for your share

Thank you. I will check and will try to fix this issue.

I like it so far. Just don't like having to manually go in a turn it off.

I like it so far!
But there should be an option to not show it in the status bar.
Also it's really hard to operate in landscape mode because the ads are
pushing the contents upward and makes it to compact.
And in the portrait mode you can't see all the bands,
so it hard to get a good overview.
Otherways it's really nice to have a clean simple non flashy app
that really just do exactly what it's supposed to do.
So far your app and DSP Manager is the only apps that does this.
Keep up the good work!

right installed this on my android and the audio was better, yay tanks

Suggestion and a question.
S1: Add a reset button. I just changed the default EQ and don't see a way to reset back to the default. (Edit, clearing app data works but that would obviously kill all custom created EQ's).
S2: A widget button to toggle the equalizer on/off. (Automatic detection of wired or wireless profiles would be nice but we don't need to go too fancy) A widget to turn on and off would be nice.
S3: Maybe a donate option, to export saved equalizers that you created yourself.
Q: Why does it need to read SD-Contents?
I have to say I wish I found this earlier. It is prefect and is exactly what I was looking for. 10 Band equalizer with a clean simple interface.

I for one hate notifications as well but for this instance want it. I need some headphone equalization but that same equalization creates muddy sound in my car. It serves as quick way for me to see if I still have it on
Settings --> Apps --> Equalizer Pro --> Right below force stop it has "Show Notifications", uncheck it. No more status bar notification.

Doesn't work for me using Google play . I'm an lg optimus f3

Would be perfect if there was an option to change/customize bands, my shure se215 are pretty great when i change the 5khz band and others, these bands are no option on your equalizer and others. I would pay even 10 euros for that option.

Hi,
I would like too the ability to customize each band.
I need the 120 hz band but there ise only a 162 hz band
Thanks

The suggestion of nonobio is realy good but I can imagine it is hard to do this.
I have another suggestion: I would realy like to set the pre amp manually.
The loudness of my mobile phone is very limited and the switch of a band to 3,0 db or more reduce
the loudness automatically. So it would be great to have the control of the pre amp settings.
Greetings

I guess this project is dead? That's a shame. This thing has/had potential. Just needed some minor tweeking.

It's really the best equalizer I've tested so far!!
And it is fully compliant with Sony Walkman app on my Z2 / kit-kat
Thanks a lot!
