Beats Audio and xLoud mod

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?

Awesome
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

Im positive people will argue, but they are WRONG! Beats does not and will not work on the shift until it is implemented in the kernel. I dont care what anyone says, it is 100% placebo... They only sound mods that work are xloud (which WILL damage your device if turned up too loud), volume+ and dsp manager... Again, BEATS DOES NOT AND WILL NOT WORK... bring on the trolls and naysayers...

Flash in Recovery I'd say.

I just flashed it on CM9. You have to use the up/down volume keys and power button to install the pack.
Now I can't find the xloud and bra via engine settings. So I guess its not CM9 compatible.

Very interesting work! Bravia Engine seems quite promising in enhancing the image quality with SONY's reputation in TV and game console. However, I am not quite convinced by combining xLoud and Beats to get the "best" sound, which appears to me doing a similar job twice. Anyway, does this mod come with toggle to turn on and off the Bravia and xLoud engine?

Bring it On, this forum is getting much attention now. Thank you..

very nice!
xLoud only applies to the external speaker, no?

I stand corrected.. It does alter the display of the images in the Gallery. You have to really look, but you notice the touching up of the photos.
It does it really fast on this phone......

On my previous Sony phone there were toggles for both xloud and bravia engines. So you could turn them off and on.

The app is in Chinese, but you don't need to be fluent to know that you're going to be using the two sliders.
First slider is Bass Boost.Second slider is Reverb/Dolby.
The second option in the drop down menu thing is the equalizer.

This is for I forgot to delete the cynogenlib in the update script. Just delete/or backup libcynogen-dsp.so from soundfx.

[Sound MOD] [MF9/MDL] BMSound_Full the deep bass works on Sprint SPH-L720

Even though I flashed this with NO ISSUES whatsoever, please, for the love of God and all that is holy in the Android universe: Make a backup before flashing this! I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.
That being said: Guys...I have found what could quite possibly be the best sound mod for our phones ever. :victory:
1) first go to noskojv's thread and thank HIM NOT ME! I didn't write this mod but when I find something awesome I feel the need to share.
2) next if you have CWM go here to flash it.
3) if you're like me and you have TWRP go here to flash it.
Basically fauxsound will increase your gain (loudness) and Beats EQ will "clean up" any distortion. Beats EQ alone will not make your speaker louder.
To access the screens you see attached:
For the Beats EQ/ Music FX menu from the home screen select menu >> settings >> my device >> sound >> music effects
For the Beats EQ preset menu simply open your app drawer and find the app called BeatsEQ
Enjoy my Sprint brothers! :victory:
I also included a screenshot of my fauxsound settings.
Note: faux123's kernel OR ktoosez's kernel (which I use) found here and fauxsound are REQUIRED for fauxsound to work. You may use Beats EQ without fauxsound but if your intent on using this mod is for a volume increase Beats EQ alone will not accomplish this.
****Fauxsound will not work with any other kernel.****
***Note: I'm pretty sure Beats EQ is for Touchwiz ROMs only!

Nice! Thanks for forwarding along. I'll try it later.

what kernel are you using? and did you clear cache and dalvik when you installed? I get no force closes at all. What ROM are you running? Try and reboot and see if it clears up your issue. I've used volume+ and I can tell you this is definitely better. My ROM/Kernel setup is in my signature.

Ahh KT uses fauxsound. The link to download it from the market is in my OP.
I use fauxsound to increase my GAIN (make it louder) and essentially use this mod to reduce the distortion and the result is great sound. Even on the crappy speaker in the back of the phone.

Just embarrassed my friend with the HTC One. My speaker got WAY louder than his. And this makes my Beats headphones sound incredible
Ps. Used Fauxsound and Ktoonz kernel to increase speaker gain
