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.

Beats audio hack for hashcodes cm9?

Like the sign says..is there anyway to add beats audio to hashcodes stock cm9 rom. I know there are custom roms with beats built in but a lot of my apps just seem to work better with the stock cm9 rom he built.

I just installed the same one I always have, the one labelled for Gingerbread, I think.

Do you have a link to one that works? I've tried two or three different ones floating around and I get an immediate system sound f/c upon reboot.

Can you point me in the right direction?

It's a set of software libraries that should provide you with better sound I'm able to hear a clear difference when comparing the stock ROM and gedeROM, but be the judge of that yourself.

I thinks it's funny how Beats Audio on the hardware side is so terrible but the software aspect is pretty damn good. I was really skeptical but the bass is much fatter in comparison and the whole thing just has better sound overall. It's now totally obvious to me the main design focus was cosmetics to make all the little hipster kids happy when they should've been smart and focused primarily on functionality. But who does that nowadays, right? On a side note, I can't stand the ridiculous white ones. They might as well make them bright yellow with flashing lights, like "Hey, everyone, look how trendy I am!"

Oh don't get me wrong i'm using ged's rom too and love it..i just have an issue where dsp manager does absolutely nothing (ie: i move the sliders no sound change) and any other eq app i've tried f/c's immediately when opening. I love the sound change beats provides but i also would like to be able to fine tune with and eq. I've flashed G's rom with a fresh install and 3 different downloads and still get f/c's on any eq app? So i thought maybe one of the thousands of beats.zips floating around might work if i flash it over a stock cm rom. I want your rom to work for me ged, but the lack of eq bums me out. Any idea what i'm doing wrong with dsp manager?

I tried DSP yesterday. I heard difference as soon as a changed a setting. This is from the internal speakers not headphones.

So is it possible to add Beat Audio to, say, Modaco ROM?

I installed the Beats 5.1 ZIP from this thread, using TWRP on Hashcode's #10 ROM.
Works great, other than the DSP no longer works and the ROM likes to throw an occasional error at boot up to tell me so. I think this is generally intentional on the part of Beats, since it now manages sound. Since stock DSP no longer manages sound, it would make sense it no longer works.

WTF?!? IIRC, Beats and HTC have an exclusivity deal in place. I'm surprised HTC hasn't requested this be removed from Play.

Yep. It's just an Apk that builds a flashable zip that you use in CWM. I didn't think it would work , but it did.

Beats, EQ, DSPManager - What is best?

Hello to all, I was just wonder what sound enhancer people are using these days? I come from an Android device with DSPManager on it which would give extremely rich bass. Beats audio, although enhances my sound somewhat, is no comparison. I tried installing other EQ apps but they have no effect on my device. I think maybe the Beats engine is conflicting with other EQ plugins.
If anyone could share what they use or how they got it to work I would much appreciate it I'm thinking about rooting my device and uninstalling Beats with Titanium just to test it out. Thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure I saw another thread about this. As you may already know, Beats is just a bass heavy EQ setting.
I don't know why certain DSP programs don't seem to have any effect on this phone. The only consensus I've seen if that apps like PowerAmp work the best for actually tweaking the EQ.

IDK why lots of people diss on Beats Audio on their phone. I've tried most of these eq apps and Beats gives me the best sounding music through my ear buds than any other. JMHO

Not dissing, I really like Beats Audio. I'm just an audiophile and I love to tweak my sound to perfection

I would like to see DSP manager working on our One S because personally I believe it's the best

How did you get dsp manager working, are you on sense?

Seriously nobody here uses poweramp? Best music player + equalizer out there. I found it better than dsp and very easy to understand what you are doing. You can also combine it with the beats audio and make an amazing eq for your liking.

I've been using Poweramp for a couple years and I love it. The options and the equalizer are outstanding. I was just comparing it with Beats and there is no comparison in my opinion. I am not sure what Beats does. A t-mobile sales guy told me it decompresses the sound file. Whatever it is I am not impressed and it seems like marketing hype to me. I would prefer to remove it. I just signed with t-mobile and I am checking out the service and the phone so I am not ready to root or flash. I have not even seen a way to disable beats.

It's easy to disable. Plug in a headset, go to Sound and there you have an option for Beats. On German One S it's name is: Klangverbesserung. I don't know the english name.

Thanks. I should have thought to plug a headset in and then look for settings. Eviently disabling it in the notification bar did the same thing although at the time the notification option was persistent. It is gone now.

BEATS
beats is the most powerful tool to optimize the music.. works with my gaming Headset and Bose in Ear.. Top Sound..

I just traded a watch for some beats headphones (studios) and realized the integrated beats thingy has no affect one beats headphones. If you shut it off the headphones automatically adjust back to "beats" performance. Idk what this concludes but thought I would share.
Sent from my HTC one sex

From my experience, Beats boosts both treble and bass, thus making it sound richer. It is disabled by going to Settings>Sound>Sound Enhancer. Just click 'no enhancements'. Headphone must be plugged in to do so. I leave it enabled in combination with PowerAmp for pretty good quality. Still not as good without DSPManager :'(

Started to use Poweramp before DSP was invented The EQ is doing a good job and for the most time i like the sound of it. In the first days of DSP I uninstalled it because it drained to much battery.
Beats is also nice, but i don't like that it turns on for every sound the phone does.
So i am finaly back to deinstalled DSP & Beats and using Poweramp only =)

I couldnt really notice a huge difference through headphones, but when plugged up to my cars stereo which i have put some money into i can notice a huge difference.

Thanks guys greatly Appreciated I use it in my car as well I got full custom system

Beats is nothing more than a software equalizer. For the same effect (plus a lot more customization), try Volume+ from the Play Store. It even has a "Beats" mode.

There's also Equalizer by smart android, I've got it on my phone & the difference is awesome!

I'm wondering this as well. I've been using Mort Player for music (unless someone can recommend something else for audiobooks/podcasts), but the EQ settings between Mort and other external EQs don't seem to make a big difference (and it should, based on my headphones)

Here. Both .zip files are to be flashed in CWM. Beats Music Player is pretty sexy too. The music player can be installed on any ROM. No need to push. You can download and install or simply bake in ur own custom cake, ...fruit.

The player is not that great.
But, you don't have to do all this to get the Codec's/Drivers and the improved sound quality.
Just download the "Beats Audio Installer" from the Google play store (Free), run it, reboot the phone and use your favorite media player.

I have awesome BEATS. When using it with just phone speakers, No big difference. When in the car with a loaded system, GIANT difference!

I don't ever listen through headphones, but listening via bluetooth with my car stereo, it does sound much better. The most reliable way I know of to install is through the Aroma KoaK zip installer v.847 which can be found in boobah's thread here.

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.
