Just wanted to share what I found exploring xda. I claim none of these mods.
A quick summary: It makes your music sound better with various mods including Team AC!D's own modifications. Check out the thread for details and how to flash it.
I've used this on Embryo 5.3, AOKP, and Slimbean. All was working fine. Follow the instructions their thread and you should be fine. I won't be say if this or another mod is better for the same reason that "which ROM is better?" threads aren't allowed. I don't know much about audio/music/mods, but I do know this will not brick a white AT&T i727 Galaxy SII Skyrocket ( For those who don't know which forum is this.) I will do my best to answer any questions, but your best bet for a relevant answer is their thread.

If it will just play music over Bluetooth it will be a step in the right direction for me. Lately every time I've tried has resulted in an instant reboot...

Mine plays Le Musique via Bluetooth. The only thing is that it doesn't sound as good as the headphones plugged in. I use HD Motorolla stereo headset it doesn't make my phone reboot. I found a weird bug tho. When I open the WALKMAN app it stutters (it is awesome.)
My setup:
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
Software: LiquidSmooth 4.1.2
Sound Engine: ACID Audio Engine V5
Music Player: Walkman
EQ:
If you flash the AC!D without any add on, you can use other equalizers or players without any problems. It might help with your Bluetooth problem. Make sure you flash on a clean install.

I flashed walkman player too, it seems you have to open it, click play twice, exit, go back in and it'll play.
I also get random reboots just with Walkman. Well, not exactly random, whenever the screen turns off while Walkman player is on, it'll reboot.
Thanks for sharing this!
Works great with my Samsung SGH-i727 running CM10 stable.
Flashed the AC!D Audio Engine and the Walkman player. It's an AWESOME music mod.
I wasn't sure how to get rid of DSP Manager like the instructions said to do. There was no "uninstall" function in the app list.. only a greyed out "Disable" button. Decided not to worry about it and flashed anyway. Everything seems to be working fine.
Great stuff! :good:
To delete DSP manager I downloaded root browser and went to System<app<DSP manager I long pressed and click delete. That got rid of it.
AC!D is cool but I am having some problems with the Walkman player stuttering really bad on me. Cheers

Can someone answer a question for me? I'm a bit fuzzy on the details:
Is the "walkman" a standalone music app? Like, an actual music player, or is it some sort of plug-in?
I like using PowerAmp and would like to continue using it... Wondering if this AC!D sound engine would work with that....

Im using this without walkman. Totally works. I also use audio fx from the market as an equalizer. If your using the uclk4 rom, theres a bit more you have to do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Been using it for a bit now and I'm getting mixed feelings. Since I use power amp religiously, I did not download the Walkman player, but instead opted for their eq app. The adjustments in the eq all are pretty good and very noticeable when using he YouTube app, but hardly noticeable at all while playing music in power amp. I had all power amps eq and any sound settings turned off and still couldn't hear any discernable difference with any changes in their eq app. Very weird.

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!
Is the huge difference when playing through headphone jack?

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.

Noozy Music Player is a great player that looks very much like the Zune Music Player. It has pretty much the same functions as the zune player but it allows you to listen to thousands of internet stations as well. It also comes with its own sound processor that is supposed to be better than anything available on Android... developer claims it will produce HIGHER QUALITY AUDIO.
Anyways, the app was pulled from the Google Play store but you can still download it here:

And I have both running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with no issues.

AWESOME App!!!
I was able to download with no problem. I completely fell in love with the app the moment I installed it. There is a difference in sound quality. The only issue I have with the app is how it shuffles music in it's playlists. I may hear the same 2 or 3 songs twice in a 10 song window. Things will get better with time.

Well (lib/audio) wise nothing. But zplayer is actually getting updated again.
Last one was the 26th I believe.. anyway nooz needs to fix the bugs. Its stopped on me at least 15 times and never shows album art.
Plenty of features, the base they used to make nooz is old.

I've tried almost all sound mods in XDA . In v7, Acid seems to abandoned Noozxoide. So if you're a Noozxoide fan (audiophile), you're gonna be disappointed. In v5, you get to choose either Awesome or Noozxoide. Meaning, you still got an option to choose. My recommendation: Make a nandroid, delete all current sound mods, try Viper4Android.. High clarity and powerful bass... I installed it on all my devices after I tried it once. It's only a 300kb file with installation instructions in it. To me, the other BIG BRAND sound mods can't even come close...

Megabassbeats for jb v2 is way better than fancy acid sound mod.
As per my experiencing and long term testing I can say that all sound mods practically dont give any differen quality (we dont have dedicated sound chip). Our default system lib files are much capable to give high quality sound. If anybody want good quality sound then use high quality headphones with good music player having wide variety of effective equilizers with deep bass and treble effect. For me poweramp perform best job in music player category.

You should try before replying. Have you tried Viper4Android's Xhifi? If you an audiophile, you should really give it a go. It's only a 300kb zip file with installation instructions in it.

Go for Xhifi.. No probs to use the ICS file if on jellybean. The instructions are in the zip. Unzip and you need to change 2 system files to .bak and then replace it with their file found in the zip. It written by a Chinese fellow from China. Damn, he's a sound mod talent.

Acid v5 was good but I found its bass a bit too hard when compared to Xhifi's while Xhifi can more even specific by using its Ho clarity and Lo contour tunings. Too bad, I'm not into FX..That's like really going into details just using device's speakers. Anyway, Best of all, it doesn't leave tons of files on your device.

Btw, I used awesome beats for a while on poweramp and realized it sucks pretty bad, a good poweramp config wins every time. That beats crap is just overhyped dr dre fanboy ultra treble/bass
How am I supposed to UNINSTALL the previous mods? The post also says to remove dsp manager I guess. I've installed the zip version V5.. I can see the 'acid audio technology enabled' notification but no percievable difference in sound and it's not that I'm not good at listening. Is there any possibility that it doesn't get installed properly even though I can see the acid audio app? And yes I'm on cm9 a14 and the nicsptl a11 kernel.

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