I'm not quite sure how this app works and where it originated, but some may find it useful. I know it is likely counterproductive in certain situations, but if you feel like enhancing your audio quickly while using an app that may be incompatible with other audio mods or your ears just tell you that you like what you hear, you've got nothing to lose. There is no interface until you open an audio app like Deezer for example, and click equalizer, and then you can select Dolby and the interface will appear. I've used this on 10 different devices with no issues.

Ok there are a lot of requests for a simple equalizer system but so far the choices seem to be either buy a set of wired headphones use the srs wow EQ which slows the phone down and has rather limited controls or use a high end media player.
can someone create a low profile software equlizer app that is NOT SRS WOW
all i need is the preamp and range sliders with a few preset slots that works over bluetooth. is it too much to ask for @[email protected]
"no i am not switching to core player XD"
HTC Audio Booster?

Have you looked into the HTC Audio Booster? I have that, but I'm not sure it does what you'e looking for.
HTC audio booster is buggy. It shuts off when it wants and at the end of songs. Everyone knows this.
heres a simple equalizer i found has "Bass" , "Mid" , "Treble" control.
FINALLY a equalizer for android, Even though it still simple its a good start.
BETTER THAN NOTHING, one thing im not happy is that theres no good or any equalizer on the android market.
GIVE CREDIT TO THE DEVELOPER. (he searching for developers to help him out)
http://code.google.com/p/smuuz/
enjoy
any feedback on this?
Does it work in all apps, all "types" (i.e. Media volume, ring volume, etc) of sound?
its only supports "mp3" with 3 simple equalizer.
I get alot of distortion. But its a great start.
Glad to see progress with the eqs.... This is pretty buggy for me at the moment. Too bad all the devs who've broken ground on the eq are trying to build their own music apps bundled. Hopefully a standalone eq app like srswow will eventually be released.
Mixzing now has an EQ (only works when program is on the screen (no background play)..
yeah, the one on Mixzing is actually pretty cool
I don't really care what the ROM looks like although it's definitely a plus if it looks good. I'm mainly looking for a ROM that's designed specifically for music usage & playback. I'm going to download Voodoo Sound on top whatever ROM I flash unless it's included. But before I downloaded Cyanogen or something I was checking with you guys if you had seen any audiophile specific ROMS around lately? This one looked promising but it's not a Verizon model. Is there any ports around? Or would this even be worth it with the Voodo Sound on top with Neutron player?

Thank you guys for all of your help. I appreciate it. & this may be in the wrong place but I'm not sure so if it is then my apologies.
From a code/programming perspective, there's no difference in roms, other than the audio add-ons they offer... but those add-ons are nothing more than compression and equalizer tools. Beatz Audio, DSP Manager, Voodoo... all are just compression tools to 'beef up' sound and they give you equalizing customization, but you can do that kind of equalization with apps like Doubletwist. The digital compression those add-ons and apps use is teh evil if you're an audiophile, because it overcompensates and 'chops the head' off sound.
You're not going to get an audiophile experience on a phone, because of the hardware used; there's always going to be some signal to noise ratio loss from the headphone plug and device board. Bluetooth can reduce the S/N reduction, but most aftermarket roms aren't working well with BT for prolonged use (I've had good luck with the 4.3 roms, but not 4.4). If you want the best performance, get an AOSP-based rom, then add in all the apps you want to eqing.
I'm a music producer, so I try to avoid all that compression crap whenever possible... eqing is about all I'll do to a properly-mastered release. Case-in-point, I play older jazz FLACs all the time on Doubletwist; I use the EQ feature and it sounds about as good as you can get on an S3.

That's very helpful. So what's your favorite player then? I don't necessarily like carrying around a phone & a player for mobile listening but if I have to then so be it. I've been using Poweramp EQ'd pushing my vsonic gr07's for portable use. It was pretty good with the FLACS I have but I feel like it could be better. How much of a difference does the Voodoo mod make? Will it even work with Verizon galaxy s3 since it wasn't shipped with the Wolfson DAC? Either way I'm using a FiiO E17 with it which has Wolfson. I'm just trying to get this all figured out.
Truth be told, I haven't found that one player I really love. If I could mix Winamp with Doubletwist, I'd have my perfect player... DT doesn't have very good playlist support and Winamp is clunky, but I love the feel of DT.
Voodoo is really similar to CM's DSP Manager and is a more customizable version of BeatsAudio; I honestly don't know if Voodoo works with the S3, but DSP manager does. The both offer compression and EQ control, so if you have low-quality MP3s, they'll sound better than stock sound will make them. If you have a music app like Poweramp or Doubletwist, you don't need to use the EQ control in Voodoo, so what's left is just the compression feature. Personally, I stay away from compression apps/mods like the plague, because they end up altering the sound of the file and, IMO, if it's a properly mastered file/recording, you don't need compression (except for maybe some tube compression on a standalone amp for some 'warmer' sound... but that's not applicable here).
I stick to using EQ controls in the players apps. If you try that and just don't find they offer you the sound you want, then try an app like Voodoo. But be forewarned, I've seen (and experienced) some issues on other devices where apps like that can alter the audio framework of the rom permanently, so even after you uninstall it, the sound remains affected.
Best is in the eye of the beholder.
Users are expected to do their own research and try Roms to see what suits them best.
As xda is not a support site, this thread is closed.
Does anyone know of the best equalizer apps for our phones? I've used a couple in the past and it had good bass, but it dropped the volume. And I'm asking of an app that would improve the sound from my BT to my vehicle to play my music. Oh, I use Google Play music as my source too.
Thanks in advance.
There's a built in equalizer in the phone settings. Probably won't find one that works right as an installed app.
I use...
Power amp. There is an equalizer in that app that works better than the stock equalizer.
for the S8 or Note 8 try Noozxoide i found to get the benefit i had to disable sound alive using BK disabler and it actually sounds almost as good as Viper4Android, all done without root and it gives volume a real boost too, its the best ive seen so far second only to viper
I have tweaked adapt sound for the 3 Bluetooth headsets I use namely Beats Studio, Livall Bluetooth Helmet and Sabbat in ear buds. I'd like to be able to automatically shift to the corresponding adapt sound profile when the particular headset connects via Bluetooth. Is there a way to do this?
Poweramp will let you set as many equalizer profiles as you want. Great app, complex to set up, but nothing comes comes to it for a music player.

I'm not particularly interested in changing players. I just want an automated switch. For example when I connect my Beats headphones to the Note 20 Ultra through BT, I want the adapt sound profile to switch to the Beats tweaked one automatically.

Unless there's a plugin don't think you can support individual EQ settings per device other then turn it on or off with Poweramp.
I may be wrong, Poweramp is the Swiss army knife of players... lots of features.
Unfortunately I didn't find any way.
With Routines only equaliser and dolby atmos are available.
Maybe with a Bixby command, that you can trigger with Routine when a specific Bluetooth device is connected, but I didn't set it at all yet to see if it's possible.

I tried this route but couldn't find a way to specifically trigger the adapt sound profile change. I was thinking probably Tasker could do it but that's too complicated for my tired old brain. Ü

I know you're trying to be helpful but why the obsession with Poweramp? Like I said, I don't want to change players. I primarily use Spotify to listen to music.

If you have a large digital collection it's the one to use. Otherwise not.
You aren't supposed to use "adapt sound" for various headsets. It is not an equalizer.
Adapt sound is for your HEARING LOSS in various frequencies. You set it once and it applies to everything. You can use their "generic" age ranges or you can go through their hearing test to customize it specifically for you.
The point of it is to identify the ranges of hearing that you have lost over the years and amplify just that range for your hearing only. (Using any headphones or speakers)
The older you get, the more important this is.
This isn't designed to compensate for crappy headphones.
