[Q] ICS Multimedia Xperia S Apps FULLY PORTED?

This is the only and first thread I have actually created and just want to share with you guys how I feel about these nice Xperia S multimedia apps ported to our 2011 devices.
1. BRAVIA Mobile is NOT WORKING with Album and Movies Apps. Which is a bit of disappointment because BE greatly improves the image quality with saturated and less noise colors. If BE is working good Xperia S, why cant the devs make it work to our devices with these apps? Is there anyone in here that can make it work?
If i only know how to do it, I would be very glad to do so. Because these apps are awesome but not that good in terms of visual quality compared to the stock Android Gallery which is kind of old.
I have been searching all over for a fix but no one managed to do so far.
2. WALKMAN looks great but SOUNDS WORST that iPod! Im not sure if its just me, but sound quality on this player sucks big time. I have myself a pair of decent Sony MDR EX310 earphones but I cant hear any improvements over the stock music player. In fact, the default one sounds much better than the ported WALKMAN app. And definitely wont be able to compete with PowerAMP.
I know how Sony sound technology works, DSEE, Clear BASS, Clear STEREO and VPT engine. I have myself a 6 year old sony walkman.
Well maybe because these apps were not actually intended to work as they are with Xperia S with our devices. But, if someone knows how to address this issues, please...
I KNOW WE ALL WANT THE BEST for our 2011 Xperia phones.

Actually the sound quality is never the same as old walkmans phones dont know why but theres a big diference between both sounds

Questions go in the Q&A section

[Q] HOX music and enhancements

Hi guys! I'm kind of a music freak. Yeah I admit...I want to have a good listening experience. There are some problems though. I would like one or more of you experts to guide me. We have "Awesome Beats" and "Noozxoide". We have some mods made originally for Sony, and so on. Today I use HTC One X endeavoru.
I wonder: what would be the easiest way to test them, and combinations of them? I've noticed that some of them aren't compatible together and sometimes it sounds just terrible. Other times the phone gets nuts and nothing works. For example: yesterday I couldn't change volume in any of my music players; if I did, it shut right down. What custom rom I use doesn't matter me very much as long as I get an overall good experience. So, my questions, and hopefully, the beginning of a usefull thread starts like this, and, thank you in advance, you are great!:fingers-crossed::
1. Optimal music player for the audiophile, and optimal for the noob who don't want to config too much.
2. Mods, combos, APK or flashable? Roms that allready have and give ultimate sound experience.
3. How to temperally disable players, mods or whatever, so that one don't interfere with the ones you want to use.

My HOX is running the latest 4.2.2 ICJ build with XMkernel. Haven't flashed any sound mods.
1)Best player for me is definitely PowerAmp. Nice clean and organised interface. However if you like tweaking then have a look at Neutron Player.
2) Not really, I just downloaded Noozxoide and run my equalising through that
3) Not really necessary except I had to disable the built in app "MusicFX" for the Noozxoide app to work.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I have the same configuration myself right now, but original kernel. Is XMkernel to prefer? Well the sound is really good and I found out that I should go to settings - apps and clear and stop players that I don't use for the moment. Can you get to configure Nooxxoide thru Poweramp or do you have to do it the long way? I have some trouble too make Noozxoide do job, I mean some features work whole for example the manual settings of the EQ

For sound quality, not really necessary. Well to get Poweramp to work with Noozoxide you have to go into Poweramp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks - and uncheck "Direct Volume Control". Then disable Poweramp's EQ, tone and limit.

Beats Audio on CM
Lately I've become a fan of the beats audio that came on my HOX but i've also taken a liking to CM10 is there anyway to put beats audio and the sense music player onto CM 10?

Well, I tried that and get the EQ I want, but I can't, like in ordinary player, customize it. I havet to leave poweramp and go to the EQ. And when, like my ”awesome beats” the EQ is flashed in the system you can't reach it from ”outside". Oh yeah. I have AC!D music mod to. Also built in ICJ.

I've tried both Awesome Beats and Noozxoide on AOSP ROMs and quite frankly I didn't like any of them. I'm a huge audiophile myself (and a music producer) so all that did the job for me was tuning DSP equalizer myself.
Another recent thing I've tried and I quite liked the results (although, the sound is not as amped as having Beats enabled, but it got both ups and downs.. downs obviously being somewhat lower loudness, the ups being way cleaner and natural sound, and no distortions by the overamplification of having Beats enabled) is that I've simply flashed Walkman app from "SONY Xperia Z Walkman Clear Audio+, Movies Album & BE 2" which comes with mods, but I didn't flash any of the mods, just Walkman alone, and remove apk's that caused me force closes and errors.
Once Walkman app is flashed, DSP starts misbehaving, but kind of in a good way - the changes applied in Equalizer aren't as aggressive anymore and allows for much finer tuning, achieving the great sound described above, while still being able to bleed your ears with loudness.

Well, that sounds interesting! Guess I'll find the links by googeling. What rom are you on, and what player do you use? What quality do you havet on the music. I use to have flac or in worst case, 320-mp3. Often when you talk to audiophiles they try to convince you that a clean sound s Wright. For me the right thing is when the listener really enjoys the music. Personally I prefer a deep, pretty strong bass without loosing too much of the middle and high frequences. A good sound is what you think is a good sound. Thank you! Be shure I will try this out and come back with respons.

Simple question about rom with amazing sound

Hey guys.
Im looking for a rom based at 4.0+ with a the best sound quality at headphones. With one will be the best? For now,i am using CyanMod 10 (android 4.1.2) with stock walkman and the quality is amazing,but its the way to do it better? I mean for stronger bass and trebles? I like most of the artists and type (but i preffer something like bryan adams,bon jovi,sunstorm,michael jackson and some drum n bass like pendulum)
If its only the equalizer thing,can you tell me what options will be good? Im so newbie at sound mods etc. I am using headphones Superlux 668b
I dont really want from rom AMAZING gameing performance,but will be good when a simply games and apps will works good and browser will not lagging
Oh i forget,music player must fully support FLACS!

Just flash your preferred ICS or JB rom, and then flash Team AC!D's audio mod with their music player. Sounds AMAZING!!!

[Q] Xperia S Equalizer and Walkman on non stock roms.

Hi friends,
I'm a music lover and I'm near to unlock my phone bootloader, then my question is about the best of this phone: Equalizer and Walkman APP.
Is there any rom (except stock based roms) where i can use the stock equalizer and walkman? I've tried other equalizers and don't have the same quality.
I can use Google Music too but uses a lot of batery in lastest versions, and don't fix the equalizer problem because uses the phone equalizer.
For example, if i want to use Paranoid 4.4.2, can i use the Sony equalizer and walkman app?.
Thanks!!

Thanks for reply, but don't like that equalizer because when you change a band all others are affected, then is too hard to get the same sound of Sony Equalizer (in about 3 day of changes i didn't got), and sometimes i've got random distortion of sound (too many times)...
It would be good to do a port. It's a shame that i don't know how to port apps.
Greetings!!

Walkman'ish quality?

Hi guys,
so one thing has been bothering me since I plugged my earphones into my Z1C - the sound quality. I used to own a Walkman mp3 player and I loved its sound quality, but it's less than half of that in my phone. I don't get as many bass if any at all when using crystal clear sound or whatever it's called. If I manually turn the bass down, it increases by a small amount, but the overall sound quality goes down significantly. Is this a common problem? (or a problem at all?) What do you think? Do you enjoy your music experience or do you try to fight it? Is there any way to make music sound better without installing any 3rd party players?
Have a nice day.

Exactly the same story here.

The clear audio + mode sounds terrible in my opinion. I'm using the Unique and bass boost equalizer presets in sound enhancements. They sound much closer to my Walkman.

if you have root you can install viper fx and inside it there is an option to configure a lot of thing and mod sound in headphone i dont use it but everyone in viper fx thread confirm that it makes a miracle so maybe it's worth to try

Pathetic Sound Quality
Is there any mod to get deeper bass & clear highs????

Try:
- Viper4Android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
- eXtremeBeats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634729

Wasn't planning to root at the moment. However problem solved - Poweramp.
