Anybody tried the new beats audio mod? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523760
Supposedly its supposed to work on all Gingerbread roms, not ICS tho. Just wondering if anyone has checked it out yet and had success.

Improvement
I'm on Blazer 4.0, and I wasn't sure how much an improvement it made until I restored back before I applied it. It's certainly an improvement over stock. I don't have the best headphones here at work, but it sounded a lot better when I had it plugged into my car stereo. Can't wait to try it out with my Bose headphones when I get home.

Wow, impressive. Sounds is much nicer.

It's been down for days prob because of the name Beats Audio being used. Monster will sue anything for using there or one of there name/tm
But it does make the sound-Q improve

Haha, yeah it's fine. I was just letting you know there was a typo.
As for your question, you might want to look into some ROM, I believe some have it included (probably mostly Gingerbread ROMs).
If you don't want to flash any custom ROMs, I'm sure there's something but I'm just not aware, since I don't use any of that lol. Sorry.

well i came from the epic 4g and in order to use voodoo plus you had to have a compatable kernel, and there were many custom kernels that could be flashed to any custom rom. Right now im running codename android ics. from what i saw in the development forum there are no custom kernels, and no voodoo for ics. I will have to read around on some gb threads to check for voodoo

Yeah, I know there is some GB kernels that support it.

Gunslinger kernel EL29 has louder app compatibility baked in. It's a paid app though. I don't know if the dev for the app has all the snafus ironed out yet.
Have you tried a boostaroo amp?

Yes but the louder app just makes it louder, no sound improvement, and no I have not,I haven't tried any pocket amp.I kinda want someone to give me a good recommendation of one before I buy one.

The ROM I'm using has DSPManager 1.0 included, it's not in the Play Store (Market) though.
You can Google it though, although I think it's just an equalizer or something? Not sure if that's of any help.

i actaully know about dspmanager from my time witht he epic 4g, on that device it couldnt really compare with the combination of volume+ and voodoo i had set up. but at this point im willing to try anything
for cars.. ( pre-amp into aux) you can build opa! amp.
fiio pocket amps are popular if you want buy and go option.
I was looking into voodoo sound also, but i think Epic touch uses diffrent sound chip than voodoo sound project.
I have no idea if you can find it but I have a Meier Corda Headsix Amp and it is a fantastic portable amp and a reasonable price 150ish new if i remember. I recommend it.
I looked up the amp you suggested it's not the type of amp that fits in my pocket (if I found the right one) the type of amp I'm looking for us like this one here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QVPGXK/ref=mp_s_a_9?qid=1334102729&sr=8-9
It gets good reviews on Amazon so I guess I'll take a chance n order it in a week or so. thanks anyway

ICS Builds and Car Docks

Has anyone had any luck getting the SGSII Car dock to work with any of the ICS builds floating around?
Really want to switch to ICS but for me my car dock is a must.
Thanks!
yeah I love ICS but I need my car dock the only workaround that I have done was take the aux cable off and put it on the headphone jack of the phone but that defeats the purpose of having the official car dock.
Not car dock, but with the official Samsung desk dock...no go with ICS. Screen NEVER times out and sleeps! Fine with Gingerbread, however.
Well we need a fix for both because its just terrible having to crank up the speakers and have barely any sound
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
I don't have a dock to test this with unfortunately.
Can somebody describe the issue to the fullest detail possible?
Normally I hook up the dock with the dock setting of volume through speakers. With ics the volume is really low even though both the phone and car speaker volume is set to max.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
I experience the same thing as bykr_dude15 explains, with all ICS roms. I can turn my radio and phone volume up as high as they go and can just barely hear the audio coming out of the car speakers.
If anyone comes up with anything to test, put it in this thread and I'll be more than happy to give it a try on my phone.
Same here. Having the exact same issue. I can try and get logcats for you if that would help.
I wonder if its a kernel problem. But I too would be happy to test it because this is the only reason I don't want to use the ics roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
So I broke down and just plugged a cable into the headphone jack for now because ICS is working so damn good on my phone I don't want to go back. but it is a real drag.
I am really thinking this is a kernal issue and can be fixed maybe with the use of something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.muteheadlight.dockredir&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5tdXRlaGVhZGxpZ2h0LmRvY2tyZWRpciJd
People are having to use this with CM9 also. Just needs to be built into the kernal I guess??
Yeah bro, it's gotta be the colonel. Perhaps Colonel Sanders.
Actually, I'm just messing with you; I have no idea. I didn't even read the thread. I know this is totally off-topic, but, you gotta have at least a few off-topic posts, right?
But yeah, ICS is sweet. There were a lot of 'behind-the-scenes' changes that caused some awesome breakage, though.

I don't think we need that because I can hear it being redirected but it just doesn't give out enough volume.

New ICS leak fllashable is out in the dev section..anyone willing to try it just to see if it fixes this issue?
I just tried the new ICS leak you mentioned and it didn't fix the issue for me.
Still a no go. Been trying everything that hits the Dev section but have to keep returning to Tuesday|Blu|Ray so I can use my docks.
same problem with me... luckily I found a thread to post on...
I got the AOKP ROM for my AT&T Galaxy S2 i777 ... There is simply no option for the audio to be re-routed through the desktop dock [Samsung Official Desktop Dock] ... I did however got audio after plugging the AUX cable into the headphone jack, of course...
But one thing though, I found this app, called the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector... but it says the ROM isn't supported... maybe it could be modded in some way?
I asked task650, and he said that it's only possible if the AOKP team includes it...
But I kinda wanna get it right now... I'm willing to try any hacks/mods to do this...
Thanks

had it before rooting my phone and i didnt see the diff from stock to beats, if interested why not try the new chimera or infamous Rom they both have beats installed. hope this helps
Did you use high-end headphones before and after? thats the only way you'll hear a difference
i did... 3 diff set for that matter and i didnt notice any difference , now with the actual rom and the ware installed it made a huge diff even with crappy headsets. had to tune down all setting it was so loud lol!!

Possible fix for JB/CM10/AOKP low volume issue?

My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.
There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

Finally! A response lol no luck bro. It made my phone powercycle after 4 attempts to flash. I'm sure it can be made to work with our device. We just need the brains of a dev. Give it a try but make a nandroid first.
Spread the word to get some input from the devs. Maybe I'm onto something here lol

Nope. I've been running beats both zip and app since cm9 was realised. Does help with the quality of audio but does not increase volume.

im really hoping this gets ported or something is done about the issue soon, because the jb roms are so awesome its impossible for me to go back to ics just for audio. though i do miss the days where i could use my headphones to their full potential. didnt spend 100 on them for nothing

Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.
I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference
Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.

I'm having this issue with both music stored in my phone and apps like Pandora and iheart radio. my call volume is very loud, no issue there as well as notification. I just flashed AOSP jb 09/19 to see if it made any progress on volume but no luck. Low volume is still there

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems
Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE
From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.
Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site

This is not true ... Pandora and/or any other music related app still has the problem, even Youtube, however, everything else is topnoth in CM10. We all hope it gets fixed quickly. Im running CM10 9/24 nightly.

If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol

Voodoo sound for GS2?

Are there any kernels that support Voodoo sound. I'm still a little new to this phone and I'm on the latest Pacman ROM and I've been reading the rom threads and kernel and don't see any mention of that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
As of right now, there is currently no kernels that support the feature as supercurio has stopped development for our phone... as far as I know.
There are plenty of ROMs that offer alternatives however, such as AC!D audio or KingBeatZ which are just as good.
I miss voodoo sound with the Wolfson dac in my old Nexus S. Excellent sound and volume. T989 isn't bad, actually its better than most. But that Wolfson DAC is second to none.

I've tried Acid and all that stuff but it just doesn't compare to Voodoo. On my Vibrant the sound sucked but when installed Voodoo it was the best.
Main thing I care about is that it has a big volume increase when plugging in to a auxiliary jack
