Equalizer app w/ Beats included - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Perusing in the general android section and read the last few pages of this link. Member confirmed working on stock/rooted S3. Made a nandroid and ave it a shot. Have tested with bluetooth headphones and changes are noticeable. I really like the bass boost.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728391

Edit: got it installed with no problems on synergy r52. Just need to test it on something besides the phones speaker to see if it actually is using the equalizer or not. I don't have headphones with me.
The music does seem louder than it was before tho...

You are correct. Which is why I backed up prior to install. After installation, you can go into System-Sounds and there will be a new menu option, Music Effects. Select Awesome Beats (fyi I got a MusicFX force close for some reason).
You will now have an app named Awesome Beats. You can open that and make your adjustments for wired and wireless headphones.
I use bluetooth wireless, so I made my adjustments while listening to music.
This may be no better than an app that is on Play. I was in a modding mode, so I did it.
FYI - you will also not see the red Beats logo on the taskbar.

Installed fine, with no force closes so far. But it didn't do anything to the music.

Installed on Synergy r53 working great.

You can actually hear a difference in the music though? I couldn't hear any changes when switching between presets. Even on the headset that came with the phone.

I hear some small changes like you said the music seems louder and I think the bass boost is working. Not entirely sure but did get the force close for MusicFX.

Just flashed it, works but only for for native music player.......

DSP Manager is an excellent equalizer app, as well.

Curious what ROM you're running and what DSP settings you're using?
Bass sounds pretty distorted to me.

Yeah, anything but froyo (who cares about froyo anymore?) Or the ICS roms which actually already have legacy audio, pretty similar to beats.

Installs with no issues on Hellfire pheonix.
Noticed a big difference in the signal quality almost eliminated static.
I'm using Bose in ear buds, and I always preffered my old ****ty iPod touch for sound quality.... no more.
Feels like it upped the juice to my headphones now I'm getting big dirty sound and I can't even rock full volume ... WINNING!!
Great tweak defiantly worth the 2 mins it takes to flash!
Pin it to Win it.

Yeah! I was using my old iPhone for music until I used it as a golf ball, then I was using my 80 GB iPod classic (which I actually love) but now it's an external drive for me.
I also use Bose in ear buds, IE2 to be exact, I love them but they were quiet... until now of course.
The tweak also plays nice with voodoo sound from Trinity and DSP manager, so #WINNING

Are you using voodoo and DSP manager as well? The sound from the mixture of the three is godly.

If you're using Trinity kernel then voodoo is already working it's magic.
DSP manager, with compression it seems you can get louder, I don't use it though as it seems to also create some fuzziness. Bass boost does exactly what it says, and Equalizer will equal out the sound to your choice, try a few equalizers, also if you find the sound to get too loud you can check loudness compensation which will lower the volume a bit at loud parts in songs. Virtual Room makes your headset feel like a room.

You mean the beats audio hack? Yeah it actually works for every sound throughout your ROM.
So I don't need to dl any Voodoo Sound from market right?
I find Bass Boost Moderate and Treble Boost the best.. from DSP

No you don't need the voodoo sound app, and yes I also very much like that setting.
But I like bass boost moderate and Acoustic EQ the best.
Virtual Sound doesn't have that much of a diff.

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.

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?

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

Equalizer

What's an equalizer that will apply to everything that plays music?
Like the beats preset does from stock. I know there are some music players on the market that have eq's built in, but don't they just apply to the music that is being played through that particular app while it's running.
I want an eq that will apply to the core settings that will apply to like pandora when it's streaming.
Any suggestions? And am I even making sense?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Only ones I know are Beats for Sense or DSP Manager for AOSP based ROMS.
Maybe Sony xLoud?
Sent from my HTC One X
you are making sense. I'm in true same boat as you. Beats and sony xloud are really just custom equalized settings; that are un-adjustable by the end user.
Prior to my hox, i had the galaxy s, s2, note and nexus. All rooted and all with dsp manager installed. I'm very particular about my eq and max volume settings.
The issue is that dsp manager currently does not work on the hox; neither do apps like volume+. Its unfortunate because the headphone volume on this device is poor at best.
I'm not sure if its working on a stock ics rom, like aokp, but i doubt it. I think it's a kernel related issue and there currently is no source code released yet.

I've been a big fan and user of the paid version of Equalizer for over a year but I just installed DSP Manager and I must say it improves sound quality and bass more than Equalizer ever did. This version works on the HOX (stock & aosp). Listening to Slacker Radio sounds just as good as my iPod now.

So when you make your sound settings on dsp, then it applies to anything that comes out as sound?
Just want to make sure, I've seen people suggest music players in the past with a built on eq, the problem with those is that it only equalizes the sound playing through that player and not things like pandora or anything that streams. I like beats because it pops up and shows you its active, I want something like that but that's customizable / adjustable.

the only apps DSP wouldn't apply to are those that have their own built in EQ.

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.

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?

You could just use the Adept Sound setting in your settings under Audio and get the same results.
