I have a One X and the only thing Beats does is crank up the bass so that it overwhelms everything else. The Note has the same Wolfson DAC that's in the SGS3 so supercurio's VooDoo apps should be compatible. Note I said "should." No one's reported using them yet so you may want to do some investigation first.

In case you are one of those audiophiles, installing beats audio is the worst you can do.
I have beats audio on my Galaxy wifi 4.0 and it's hard to uninstall on the rom I'm using. It never reached the soundquality and dynamic of just having Voodoo+PowerAmp.
Wait for a Voodoo compatible Kernel or for Supercurio (did he managed to put voodoo on S3 already?)

Yes voodoo would bee nice but for now I'll use beats

Beats is horrid. I have it on my rezound and always turn it off.

[Q] Beats Audio to Skyrocket?

Is there anyway to take the beats audio program off of an HTC phone and install it onto a Samsung phone?

I honestly thought the Beats audio was more about the HW as opposed to just an app? But I'm sure someone could strip it out if the have a mind to.
Is the app that good?
I know there's the voodoo headphone amplifier in the android Market. It's pretty good. Just not sure if any of the kernels support it.

I have read that its all software with regards to the HTC Rezound at least. Right now I'm using Equalizer app to alter the music levels and it's doing a nice job.

A good pair of headphones will improve your experience more than Beats software. What headphones are you using?

Had Voodoo Control App on my Captivate and it was awwwwwesome. No support for the Skyrocket though, and not likely to happen either. I read that the developers of Voodoo don't care for the Yamaha chip in the Skyrocket and won't be developing for it.
I hope this proves not to be true--would love to see some sound improvement on the level of what Voodoo does for the Captivate.
DSP Manger
Skyrocket ICS rom On XDA will give you a DSP manger that works exactly the same as the voodoo sound app. That we had on our Samsung captivates. But that would mean you would have to root your phone to use this.
And another thing you don't get with stock NFC doesn't work. But with the SR ICS ROM you get everything they block from us customers.

Beats Audio?

Is there any way to get Beats Audio on the G2X? I'm using Hellfire Phoenix_v2.1.
Try using the search function, it is useful believe it or not

The beats audio is not a very good audio system for music as it just distorts the lower and midrange bass (speaking as an audiophile with a $1000+ audio setups). The best thing to do if you want better quality is just to use voodoo sound with a kernel that has it built in. The trinity kernel has it built in and I think Faux123 does too. But to each his own.

Well it's pretty much an EQ
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Also there is an app on the Play Store called Volume+. One of its EQ's (which is what Beats Audio is) is a "Beats Emulation" as they call it. Just another option. Personally I found that Voodoo Sound Control was more than enough to make sound great on the phone.

I've flashed Beats onto my phone and didn't really notice a difference. I've had more results fooling around with Volume+ or DSP Manager.

Beats Audio on our Charge

I was browsing the Rezound development section today(just felt like seeing how lively it was in case i decide to jump aboard the Rezound ship) and I found a thread that puts Beats Audio on all your apps, I checked the comments and the OP said he's tested it on the Charge and it works. Says it should be compatible with all ROMs in fact.
"*SHOULD* be compatible with all roms on all devices running 2.3 and up.
I have tested it on
Rezound, Fascinate , Charge, Galaxy Nexus, OG Droid , and Droid 3 ... seemed to work on all those ."
I have yet to test it as I don't very much care for Beats Audio, just thought I'd share.

Yes
Beats is only good if you like a whole bunch of bass and nothing else. It sounds like a complete muddy mess to my ears. My girlfriend has a Rezound and it sounds like crap to me. It has no tonal balance whatsoever and there's no way to adjust it. To each their own, but I need some treble.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
Beats is just a predefined EQ setting, nothing more and nothing less. It's good for hip hop, dance music, and some pop if you're using headphones. Other than that, worthless. And, if you have Voodoo Sound, it'll do a better job on your headphones than Beats will.
Voodoo Sound > Beats.
You can see what beats is doing here, but note that the frequency response curve the HTC One X as measured here is borked to begin with. It is still easy to see what the Beats EQ is doing though.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/608713/htc-one-x/30#post_8419982
So yeah, screw Beats and their stupid crap.
Voodoo FTW. Seriously, Voodoo is underrated around here. IT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.
I suggest Neutron Player if you want more flexibility than the Voodoo Sound Bass Boost.
Lastly, anybody have DSP Manager working on the Charge?

I would guess that it would be included in jt's CM9 ROM, no? Other than that, I don't think anyone has it working on Gingerbread (please correct me if I'm wrong).
If you're looking for legit EQ abilities, check out PowerAmp if you haven't already.

I was more curious than anything. Voodoo is awesome already.
I recommend Neutron Player if you want to really tailor your sound. Poweramp, IMO, ruins sound quality when any of the tone or EQ filters are active (even with neutral adjustments, just having it toggled on.)
Neutron iz the biz.
Voodoo Sound Plus is about as essential on this phone as Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. Seriously, it's that good.

I've run it on EP4 and it runs fine. You just have to get the apk and install it.
Yes, Voodoo Sound really is that good. I've been using since day 1 of getting my Charge(almost a year ago). And yes, Beats is just a sales gimmick. I only posted this as I'm sure there are some people who would like to try out Beats on a non-HTC phone. I'm tempted to try it just to see how high i can get the bass to kick on this phone without distorting my music but Voodoo + Poweramp presets works fine for me at the moment.

Not entirely sure. It's been a while since I did it, and I found the apk online. It worked for me though. I'll see if I still have the apk somewhere. If I do it'll be on my laptop at home.

Anyone know why mods like this don't work with Poweramp? The only reason I'm still using Sense-based ROM's is because nothing works with Poweramp. I really want to make the final move over to Jelly Bean but I like the SRS, Dolby and Beats enhancements you can get for Sense ROMs.

Haha I have done in the past and it mostly throws up people replying to audio mods for various devices claiming they do and do not work with Poweramp. I have found that Dolby Mobile should work on newer JB ROMs, now I just need SRS and Beats too I wouldn't mind if they worked with another player that wasnt Poweramp, but sometimes its hard to tell if you can't turn them on/off on the fly like you can with Poweramp.

Good question, I recently tried AC!D and beats, both were a no go. After installing beats it would just freeze my phone shortly after booting. I think acid is only for local music players though (correct me if I'm wrong), I'd like something that works with Play Music and Pandora. Not really a huge concern of mine until someone can confirm something works without bugs.

Have you tried Noozxoide? I have had success with it on every ROM it has been installed on and it works across all apps.
Have you considered an eq application? That is all beats audio is. I can't speak for dolby, Sony, and others.
I'm an avid audiophile, so I know eq can be tedious if you want a set it and forget it option, but it is worth it, to me.

I did try Noozxoide when installing acid, I played with the EQ while using Play Music and Pandora, but I didn't notice a single change. Maybe I didn't select the correct settings while installing. It also made everything extremely loud to the point where it was like meant for people with hearing problems.

Beats Audio and DSP isn't just an eq app. There are libs added into the soundfx folder so it'll work properly. I have also tried Noozoxide and I haven't noticed any changes when changing the eq levels

No it does not. Usually it'll come with the rom or there will be a flash able zip floating around with the files. What I'm having issues with is getting it to work on liquid without the bass becoming over powerful that it sounds distorted

I have realized that it is hit or miss when it comes to this. Sometimes I get it to work on one ROM but can't on another ROM. I also noticed that you have to have some pretty good headphones to really get to know the difference in the audio quality.
