just downloaded the trial version of this app.....gotta say i'm impressed!
EQ function alone makes it worthwhile...more testing to come
the is the best proffesional looking Music player .. prev used astro player .. it was nice , this is the awesome... feels good and solid
made into my main music player .. especially the EQ are great with around 16 bands ?
I totally agree. PowerAMP is the best music player I've tried on android. I used Mixzing back on 1.6 and it wasn't bad, but this is damn good player I have owned two SonyEricssons before and they both were Walkmans, so I'm used to have a phone producing good sound. Finally, my X10 does it as well

Yep, i come from mixzing too.
PowerAMP is top app.
Winamp is just a kid compared with PowerAMP
I also was a fan of Mixzing, but must say that Poweramp looks even better.
However, there is one thing that is not to my taste and those are the widgets.
In Mixzing, I have a full screen widget and a full screen lockscreen. Poweramp only has the 4x1 or 4x2.
If there was a full-screen version of the widget, then this would be damn perfect.
I agree, best music app. However I just can't get the X10 to produce sound as good as I expect. I was hoping 2.1 might lead me to a better sound. I have an iPod nano and it just plays louder, with better sound quality/clarity. Anyone else notice this? Maybe I just have a bunk phone.
When you listen to metal, you want it loud and clear. I may be destroying my ears, but at least its epically brutal.
I think this app is fine, but I just wonder why yiu have to change to lockscreen when the widget doesnt cover the whole screen, might just as well put the normal lockscreen beneath it. How freaking loud do you want it?!

It's not really that it needs to get much louder but when it is at max volume I can hear noticeable distortion. Guitar notes and cymbal crashes turn into a mash of static and sandpaper, when using the same headphones (shure se115s) on the nano at higher volume produces a clearer, richer sound.
Anyway sorry for straying off topic, if it weren't for my issues I would be all over this app all the time. It looks the best, it has the nicest features and i'm glad the lock screen widget doesn't make you unlock with that, then revert to the standard unlock like other apps did on 1.6.
Now that you mention that, I remember hearing distortions and some breaking sound on certain tracks on 1.6. It didnt seem to be on all tracks but just some of em.

True, the stock player have an equal balance and sound better now.
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
jeff
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.

Hi Everyone,
Since I can't post in the Development area yet, I have to post here. I am trying to get Kingbeatz 3.03 to work with PowerAmp and I'm wondering if anyone has had success with it. It works great with Apollo but I would prefer to use PowerAmp.
I searched the Kingbeatz thread and there was someone who said it worked for them if they disabled DIrect Control but I've tried that with no luck.
I'm running Embryo 6.1 ROM.
Any suggestions or experiences are welcome...and...if you haven't tried Kingbeatz yet...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?
Cheers

It will not work with power amp since power amp has its own equalizer built into it it is discussed in his thread nothing he can do about it because every time power amp updates there app he will have to mod there app to make it work its not really worth his time to be honest use rocket player and isyncr to get music and playlist together for best sound with kingbeatz
newb here also, i have also not seen an answer to this, does kingbeatz only effect headphone sound quality, how about the speaker on the phone, i havent noticed any sound improvement with the phones speaker

I have Bose In-Ear Headphones and I noticed a considerable difference with the highs and lows. They were crisper and clearer. I've also tried Kingbeatz on my bluetooth ClarityHD (not much difference) and my Onkyo (Receiver) / JBL (Speakers) and I don't notice much of a difference either. Mind you the latter already sound amazing but it could be the beatz settings that I have to play around with to get better sound. Still experimenting.

If you use isyncr with iTunes you can make your playlist that way you don't have to search thru the entire list ... unfortunately Apollo does have any folder feature but since I bought isyncr its made Apollo more useful and even power amp.. just a suggestion

Yup. that's one thing I am finding with Apollo is that there is no folder feature. You have to organize it from when you copy it onto your phone.

crashpsycho,
have you ever run into anyone having issues with Apollo FCing randomly or every now and then there is a loud pop, crackle or static for a split second while music is playing w/ Beatz?
Beatz seems to be a memory hog so I'm going to try running Apollo without live wallpaper and some other processes running to see if it stops the random noises.

to be honest the only time you should hear a change in the sound when music is playing and you messing with beatz together... if you think if it comes a part in the song that you hit hard bass or crazy high hat u will definitely get a pop recommendatin dont change beatz during music my setting are "Acoustic" with "a Bit Better" "no Bass" or Loudness, VR set to "Room"...
yeah it is a memory hogger but very worth it if you have a Bloated Rom and Unuseful app get rid of them and let Android built Task manager to fix memory for you and you shouldnt have any issue cuz i dont

You may like xing player. It's ui is kind of like power amp. And the cracking sound I usually get when I multi-task or have something else running while the music is playing.
I also have this thing where beats just stop. I'm guessing it's the OOM closing beats.

Sorry if this has been asked, I'm not on here much. Anyway, what's a good alternative to viper 4 Android? I've been on rooted pixels for years, so I really don't know what's best without root. I'm currently using Poweramp equalizer, and that definitely helps with the sound quality. But it doesn't match v4a.
Thanks!

v4a needs to be upgraded to fix original a12 device issues and I'm still believe they are developing updates, I've tried with wavelet, it couldn't be compared with v4a , I mean v4a is much more better than wavelet from my experience

Because it is almost as no equilizer at all snd v4a seems 1000 times better in its volume improvement, clear highs and powerful bass.

I use it for Bluetooth. Works very well for my car and home audio. I listen to a lot of podcast through the phone speaker and it works very well with the volume Booster that also works for calls over phone speaker
The best way and an alternative for me is VLC media player. I think it's better than V4A. It has really very very punchy and deeep basses, crisp and clear mids and highs. You must check before the equalizer. The downside is that, that i'm not able to stream content from the internet. Need some help, if it possible. Give it a try and have a great time!
Edit: Im using Jabra Elite 75t
I use Poweramp Eq, it´s paid, but not expensive. It process almost system wide like v4a, but you need to run an adb command. It also has a parametric eq, so you can set any band as you want, you can adjust frecuency, quality, gain and type of filer. I have the eq exactly the same as peace eq in my PC for my earphones
@nobrain3000 @danvrez players are not a good option because you won't be able to use Spotify, Youtube or any app that's not the player.
I wasn't using wavelet with it's full potential because I had the free version. Got the paid one and now I can customize bass. While the sound got better, V4A bass (and mids and highs) are way cleaner.
