Hi,
Some people have ported Beats Audio, xLoud and Mobile Bravia Engine to several of the android phones.
Is it possible to port it to Atrix 2?
Will it really increase the performance?
There are several methods available online..
(A simple google search will show the results... I am not able to post the links as i am a new member)
Have anyone tried it??
Any senior members willing to try this?
-----------------------
P.S:- This is not a Q&A post.. This is meant for discussion of a general topic.

I have installed Beats Audio and it works fine, yes it does increase audio performance. To install Beats Audio you need to root your phone.
I haven't tried xloud and bravia, so I cant comment on that.

For the love of everything even remotely good in life, do not do this. Beats audio and really any other mod are TERRIBLE and degrade audio quality. if what you want is something that drives the base hard and washes everything else out, I suppose it does a damn good job, but it kills audio quality. If you want good performance, buy some decent headphones, nothing less than $100 or so, but you don't need anything crazy, and get a good player with an equalizer like poweramp.

I have never used it, but obviously none of these can change the hardware of the phone, they are basically fancy equalizers. All equipment is different, and that is the main point to equalizers (not to adjust sound for the type of music, the recordings are mixed how the producer intended, but to adjust for different listening hardware. for example, small headphones often need more bass volume to sound good, while large speakers might lack on the low to mid end.) That said, some of these enhancements might improve quality on the device they are intended for, as they can change what is needed to get good sound there.
You can try any of these, and see what you think, as everyone has different tastes, but to get the best quality sound, I would still recommend high quality listening gear, and a good equalizer you can play with to get the sound you want.
I mostly listen with ER6i in ear headphones, which are noise isolating (not electronic canceling), so they block a lot of sound, and have really good quality for in ear headphones. They don't make the same ones any more, but they were around $100, so I'm sure there is a replacement model. I use Poweramp as my player, and it has a 10 band EQ that I tweaked for my headphones to sound best.
Well i have installed all of these and my audio is better..performance is better. From my point of view..it doesnt hurt anything.

Shame on you! Difference of opinion I guess, but my guess is it is still the same as the tv store effect. the brighter the better seeming at fist glance.
Anyways, always feel free to try things out, but make sure you know how to remove them. I made a beats remover that is in the general section somewhere, but they might have updated since then, so no guaranty that it will work.
Beats audio thing was just a screw up. It made the audio quality bad for me. I tried Acid audio engine which worked fine. It did boost the audio quality for me a lil bit !
bravia engine link plz
plz past the bravia engine link
becoz which i found is having some user specific issues

I am on NeoRom v 2.1 and I love it.. But as the update contained mod of Xloud and Beats audio, I cant experience anything new in yhe sound quality...
So I tried other equilizers as well like Equilizer and DSP manager..
Equilizer downloaded from market and DSP manager provided by pankaj88 sir.. But its always force closing..
Then I tried Beats audio EQ settings from market, but it was not upto the mark..
So I request someone if they can provide with the perfect Beats audio EQ settings..
I want my R to have sound effects like HTC one X..

No one can give you perfect EQ settings buddy. The EQ settings are normally determined by your taste i.e. what type of music you like & the medium used to listen to it.
eg Assume you are a bass head and you want your speakers to output more bass, in that case you just amp up the lower frequencies in the EQ to get it to the level you want.
The best way would be to test different EQ settings & finally settle with one which is of your taste.
BTW do you know which sound chip does HTC One X use?
Hmmm.. Ill try that..
I dont know which chip is used.. My friend has bought it.. Ill check and let you know..

Hooooppppssyyyyy...well waiting then..but try it out..there is huge diff b/w both ROMS:victory:
U can use some ready EQ apps for improving
ur sound quality.
Also if u interested in beat-making
can share with u some samples from Lucid Samples.
Which type of beats do u prefer?
I've seen some threads in the International HOX forum, as well as a new ROM in our forum that support Dolby Mobile.
I'm on Cleanrom, and I don't really want to switch ROMS for an audio effect. I'm definitely curious though.
How can I flash Dolby Mobile onto my HOX without any ROM changes?
What about ALSA? I know MixGet is on the play store, but does it work for anyone?

I mean heres the apk. IMO its just another gimmick like beats. Its just a different equalizer. Seriously just use poweramp or playerpro or even the equalizer app from the play store and set your settings according to your preference. Surround sound is not possible through a 3.5mm stereo jack. At best, you will get virtual surround sound which distorts or incorrectly balances sounds.
Thats my opinion. But you are better off sending a PM to XsMagical and ask him about it since he ported the ROM that contains it.
Yup that I know, a gimmick it is for sure. I wish the HOX had a wolfson dac, or a voodoo-like hack of some sort. Driving larger headphones with higher impendence doesn't quite work well here.
Right now I'm using Google music with DSP manager. I'll occasionally leave beats on while at the gym for the fun of it, usually I'm only using an equalizer though. I just wanted to hear what Dolby could do, never tried it before in my life lol.

I love the Voodoo headphone amp as it boosts the headphone output to a decent level, but installing voodoo sounds has its problems on ICS with calls, etc and all the know bugs. Is there a headphone amp app or widget or something? Best I've found is to make a preset EQ with everything boosted but this affects sound more than Supercurio's work on the Wolfman chip and enabling the headphone boosts.
Jetaudio is the player I've been using on my other phone. Get it from play store. Once you have it go to EQ and look at the top. There is a built in preamp. Slide the bar to 10 and watch your ears bleed. It is by far the best free player that I've used.

Actually thank eollie. I'm pretty sure he's the one that let me know about it. Well it was either him or Lumin. Hard to tell the other members of TFTN apart anymore. lol
I'll give Jet a try myself.
Not to hijack, if anyone knows of dev info on compiling new codecs for Android, would you PM me? The lack of Apple lossless keeps me from using my phone for music.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Can you really tell the difference between lossless and compressed? I've tried with some really good earbuds and it's super hard for me to tell. Try talking some albums that you know really well and converting them to mp3 at 224. If you can tell the difference from the phone I'd be amazed.

Yeah, I use Grado cans and anything below 512 kbps is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My library is all Apple lossless at this point and transcoding on the fly is a complexity I'd rather not deal with.
Edit -- Switching to IEMs has made anything compressed even at 512 kbps rather painful. As full-rate Apple Lossless or Flac is typically around 800-1000 kbps, at least for me, there isn't any meaningful gain for the pain.
jetAudio does support Apple Lossless now, and doesn't have the gaps between tracks that used to plague older Android players. It's got it's own usability issues, but it does a decent job.
Now if I can figure out why Voodoo Sound occasionally stops working for me to control amp gain so I can keep the digital gain maxed out.

Since I stopped using my 4g as a phone and just use it as a music player voodoo sounds has worked all the time every time. I think receiving phone calls might be what is causing it to stop working. I few others have reported the same. Something to take a look at at least. If your using jet it has it's own built in pre amp that works well.
I think that maxed out issue you are talking about is a setting in voodoo app causes the db keep going up

I seem to be finding that either placing or receiving a call "disconnects" Voodoo Sound from the analog gain.
The preamp control in jetAudio is a little different -- Voodoo has the benefit of keeping the digital gain as high as possible and just using the audio gain, which should improve sound quality by keeping digitization noise lower.
I have logs for that i go on wheresmycellphone.com and call my phone run logocat right before the call. No one has provided logs yet ? There seems to be dual speaker mode thats changed and an audio route problem. Do u want me to up logs. Does voodoo work on any of ics roms with just dsp manager and how do u tell if it is working really. I think the tv out driver plays a slight role as well there is bluetooth sharing enabled during call when headset not being used or anything.

I bet you still listen to vinyl don't you. LOL I see your point for sure but on my earbuds I can't tell the difference. As long as it's loud and clear and loud it's good enough for me.
I do. And on audiophile the dsp manager says does not work with hardware on last tab to the right

I'm a huge audiophile, I always want to be able to get the best sound from headphones for my device. There seems to be a huge difference between sense and aosp in sound quality. To be blunt aosp roms sound like ****. Why is this so? I know there are some mods out there, but I have yet to find one that works. Anyone find any good mods to fix this?

Try DSP manager and once you find and EQ that you like it'll make all the difference. Also, AC!D audio mod is pretty good.
Yeah I found Ac!d to be pretty good. It's also worth forking out a few bucks for a half decent player like Poweramp.

Its an equalizer setting to (theoretically) make the speakers sound much better. Harmon Kardon is a high end speaker maker. It essentially does the same thing as the Beats did last year.

We can get it if we change the false setting in the default xml in the system to true BUT it don't think it will effect sound due to not having the libs for it.

They might have been, at one time (debatable). But, HK does nothing but buy other companies any more. They don't develop much of anything, themselves. The bulk of their branding is for high profit margin products like car audio and licensing of mass-consumer level audio tech.
You'd do better with Viper. Almost anything is better than the pre-installed audio enhancements, whether it's Beats, Harman, or whatever.
ive also read it may just be a software thing and not difference in hardware.
do you think viper is significantly better than the boomsound already on the phone?

Viper4Android is a great mod don't get me wrong, a lot went into making this! Personally though after playing with it for literally hours in my car streaming music via BT, i couldn't get 1 setting that i felt was better than stock. Same with "Boomsound" for the external speakers. I'm completely happy with the stock "equalizer" personally. Don't see what this HK equalizer will bring to the table, i bet nothing special. I think HTC actually put a lot of time and energy into their equalizer knowing that Beats left them and this is their next big device since Beats left so they had to make it just as good if not better. I feel they've made it just as good if not better on this device :highfive:

Its definitely just an equalizer setting. They wouldn't have developed entirely different speakers for a carrier variant. Its the same thing as the Beats integration last year, which has now been replaced by BoomSound.
