Beats Audio on Dinc?

I noticed that a couple of the newer Sense 3.5 roms have Beats audio that works with the tiny's kernel. Wondering if there is a way to port this over to other roms or flash it?
Anyone heard of anything like this? Looks like Beats audio is not really hardware, but some sort of software that enhances the audio.
Thanks.

That sucks, because the dInc and EVO 4G have some of the worst speakers I've ever heard. The only thing that seems to suck ass more is the speaker in the Tbolt.

I agree, well looks like some people have had success with Beats audio working on the DINC but with Sense 3.5 roms and using Tiny's kernel.
Since I am happy with my current config/rom wondering if there is a way to just integrate it into that.

I haven't tried the using Beats through the speaker yet, only with headphones plugged in. I am using NewtoRoots Incredible HD port with Tiny's latest 9/20/11 kernel and can hear a difference but Beats is fairly close in sound to Dolby Mobile.
I'm not sure if Beats is only software or not but you can most likely pull the apks from a ROM that has Beats working. You can try extracting the Music 3.5 & Music Enhancer, set the correct permissions (just check the permissions of other working apps and set the same), reboot and see if it works.
It only cost you some time and a backup if it doesn't work. Just make sure you actually make a backup BEFORE trying to do this.

BEATS Audio only works if you have beats by dre plugged in. It will put a logo in the notification if it's on. I read the review on the sensation xe

It's a software thing so it works with any headphones or aux input. If you plug any headphones in the headphone jack and play music you still get the logo in the notification.

anthrax?

so anyone know what happened to the anthrax kernels? chads thread is locked and the download links are empty so whats the beef? why did he all of a sudden disappear?

he got a cease and desist letter from two sources... I think it was on the Beats by Dre audio and the Qualcom, but not sure.
He's busy re-releasing kernels w/o beats that are based on the HTC stock kernel code... the 3D just got it and my bet is the 4G will get it in a bit.
Check the EVO 3D forums, you can find the story in his new kernel thread

well that sucks... :/ good thing i snagged the sense kernel before he took it down.

Unfortunately we won't be getting anymore kernels based on anything other than HTC source. Anthrax is amazing, runs so smooth. Glad I hang on to files like that. I'm sure Chad can work wonders with the HTC source also. He's pretty good at what he does.

I haven't tried it yet cuz I've been stuck on AOSP now that I got my phone to like it and not randomly reboot, but I did manage to snag a cpl versions while it was up something was just saying download now b4 its gone and ill be damned if the next time I checked it was pulled for good. Something was just telling me it was gonna get pulled with the beats stuff I've seen alot of crap online about c&d from monster and more specifically related to the beats code lately just glad I snagged it so I can give it a try, the last rom I had with beats sounded like crap and supposedly this kernel is the key to making it sound like it should, although having a beats audio processor and beats headphones with my PC I'm not all that impressed. My Bose noise cancelling headphones sound better across all music genres where as beats sounds really good for pop/dance/rap/hip-hop/r&b but rock and lower bass music it sounds off to my ears I kinda wish I'd just bought the new Bose headphones instead of the beats tbh

I don't invest too much into all that. I would imagine based on previous experience that BOSE would sound better. To me Beats is a waist of time. More of a "Hey, look what I have on my OG Evo". Anyway, I hear Radiance RC2 with anthrax has good beats output. I stick with DSP Manager. Don't have much use for headphones.

Yea I was kinda disappointed in the beats cuz I listen to all kinds of music and I have to keep changing settings between songs so something like sweet home Alabama doesn't sound like it was remixed into a rap bass beat after a rap song plays it gets tedious having to keep swapping equal settings, whereas my Bose I set it to live or full bass and treble and everything sounds good on one setting, I got the beats headphones cuz the laptop has a beats audio processor and its supposed to pair up the best but i find myself using the old Bose wireless noise cancellers and disabling the audio processor settings more often than not I use winamp with its equal over the beats player

So is the anthrax kernel only for sense or can I use it on cm7 or evervolv Rome?
cowboy up

PM me and I'll send a link to the last Anthrax build w/ beats. (Sense Roms only afaik)

Team Nocturnal actually, just flashed the most recent nightly. It's supposed to have some sound tweaks so he may have stopped using their coding , I don't see beats on it anywhere now that I look

[Q] When can we expect 4.2 Custom roms?

Yeah...Just like the title says.
Because i tried custom roms now but i found that the official rom had the best performance so i don't think that it's worth using a custom rom now.
Unless you guys can recomend a good rom with the same performance or better?
And will there be an official CM? (because i read somewhere that there were some issues with the exynos cpu documentation)

My brother said that Official CM is being merged in a few days.

I'm on the latest PA nightly built, haven't run any benchmarks yet, but it seems to me that performance on games it actually a little bit better (at least definitely on the new nfs game). And there's some big update coming kernel/drivers wise that will increase it noticeably (so I've read).
Cheers.

You can wait for them quietly you shouldnt be expecting **** on here thats the problem with this site

A little hostile there don't you think? There's absolutely no harm in asking. It's people like you which diminish the true nature of XDA.

Mmm, the camera is a kernel problem, there's a patch to solve it, and audio wise, well, the routing of sound from the mic of an external BT headset is not working, that's a known issue, and I'm having of shuttering audio when I listen to music with the BT headset I [email protected], not but not on the car, so I guess there's something going on with the emitting power that makes small receivers struggle keeping up with the signal.

Where can I find this patch?

What bugs me the most about these threads, is the fact that many users obviously don`t know how to use the search buttton anymore or are just too damn lazy to do so. Common sense also seems a problem, as you could have known 4.2 for the Note 2 will be released first quarter 2013. After the first official has been released develeopment will start and the CM team wil start right after the scource codes are beeing released.

Looking for good non-sense ROM with good sound quality

Hey everybody,
so... I've lost my Cable for ma Zune HD, and haven't got any money atm. to get a new one....
I want/need a Non-Sense ROM with good battery life and good sound-quality (maybe even beats included but not a must-have)
Maybe any audiophiles here who can help me out? I'm using ARHD atm. but I actually want to use a lighter non-sense ROM =).
Thanks in advance!
(Topic already been there? plz send me a link =) )

AOKP has an option to increase audio bitrate and omes pre-loaded with dsp manager. You can install beats separately if you want.

Do you insist on a non-Sense ROM?
I would suggest one (the one I use, see my signature), which is light, smooth, quick, battery friendly, ...
It comes with ZeroInfinity's sound mod, which makes Beats audio really inferior.
But - it's a Sense ROM
You might wish to try it anyway...

Thx you two,
I'm going to try em both =)

[Q] Viper4Android & jetAudio

Hey guys,
just rooted my z1c with the completely awesome and easy new rooting method and installed V4A. Love it but it seems to be not working with the newest jetaudio player. Tried searching the xda forums but kinda got overwhelmed by the results and wasn't skilled enough to narrow down the search enough to get any useful results. I guess i have some settings enabled in jetaudio i shouldn't have. Tried all i could find but there seems to be no change...
Do you guys have any ideas why that could be?
Would love to hear from you,
regards
Clemens

im not 100% mate but i think that V4A is only compatible with the standard walkman player and not others.
if you want awesome sound and to use it on other players ... (i like n7player :good: ) try the ac!d audio mod, it works with all players as it mods your core audio lib files etc :highfive:

hey man, thanks for the quick reply :highfive: I definitly can say v4a works well with n7, i'm just not 100% sold on the player yet. Guess i just got used to jetaudio
Will definitly give ac!d a try. Have you ever tried v4a ... pretty amazing what it can do especially if you have some nice IRS samples. Maybe i just need to buy the n7 and get used to it
btw. any custom rom you particularly like? Now that i have backed up my drm keys the floodgates of rom hell are open for me

No problem mate glad I could help, I was just going on my last phone Xperia M - the V4A port of that only works with the Walkman player, well as I understand that's what was described in the thread, I didn't actually flash it.
I've used the ac!d mod for a few years since i had my Ray... it was awesome on that, made a huge difference in quality, I had it flashed on my M and it was worth it, not quite as good as on the Ray but think the M lacks quite a bit on sound quality and volume through the headphone port
To answer your question about a ROM I only got my z1c yesterday and I've flashed KitSlim and DoomKernel as like to stick with the stock/modified stock look on any of my ROMs with all the tweaks and performance gains. So far its really good I like it, but then I'm used to using a mid-range good value phone that's modded to f**k to make it as good as (or as close to as I can get) a flagship... (software wise anyway, my Ray was great for ports and mods)
With DoomKernel you get FauxSound support which is amazing (apart from the random FC's that I need to ask about) for pre-amping your headphones as much as you like without ANY distortion :fingers-crossed:
The only thing now is that I actually have a flagship device lol - so nothing needs porting and I've pretty much got all the performance I need because the phones an absolute powerhouse :victory:
Depends on how much customisation you want really - your not gonna beat modified stock for performance and battery life BUT if you want all the customisations and bells and whistles then try the CM based ROMS:good:

yeah, its crazy how the output power for headphones varies from phone to phone. The Z1C is one of the better ones in my oppionion. I'm not a big fan of preamping from the phone cause to my ears it always messes up the sound ... so i'm curious about doomlords kernel...
Really good to hear your view on the whole rom thing. I guess it's 3 things that count for me ... sound quality, battery life and privacy/security ... I'm still not clear how secure it is to use a rooted phone( needed for V4A) with supersu but ... what the heck
So I guess I'll stay on the stock rom for now and maybe l'll look into doomlords kernel as well ... I kinda really want to have dt2w but it looks like its not happening for now
thanks for your extensive response :good:

Yeah i totally understand what you mean about the pre-amping.. on the M if i pre-amped above 4/5Db (in n7player) its caused horrible distortion and did mess up the sound but on the z1c its genuinely fantastic.
I wouldn't worry about security of your phone, especially if you've got root and/or a custom ROM as any of the fixes needed to protect "security risks" are usually already implemented, if not included as mods/tweaks in the ROM then just because you're pretty much fully up to date on software.
If your looking at sound quality and battery life mate i seriously recommend KitSlim and the DoomKernel, I've just had 2days 14hours 53mins battery life (put it on charge at 5% remaining) i used it for music (n7player) for about 3-4 hours each day, regular phone usage, installing a few apps and the odd photo/video to test out the new camera (must say I'm impressed, people moaning about poor quality low light photos - get a REAL camera then... its a mobile phone!!) AND I've had the brightness on 100% the whole time
So yeah pretty pleased with my first choice of ROM on this phone, plus the maker of it is uploading a new one i think today or this week :victory:

Sorry it took me so long to reply, have been busy .
I installed Kitslim and love it!!! battery performance is stellar and it works flawlessly. Really a pitty I'm not allowed to post a thread in developers section yet, cause I wanted to let the devs/guys who ported it know how much I love their rom. Can't wait for evo 6. anyway... I definitly want to try out doomlords kernel, but am a bit hesitant about unlocking the bootloader. Did a TA Backup but still a bit frightened about bricking my phone/needing the keys for warrenty and something going wrong when restoring them
Guess I'll just wait if he will manage to incorporate dt2w ... having that would be worth the risk. Btw. do you know why omarainea isn't porting the newer kernel version? I wonder how much work it is porting a kernel and if i could learn it ... might be a bit sophomoric though

Hey... sorry i didnt notice you had responded hence me not replying lol :silly:
You don't need to be allowed to post in the developers section mate you can just post in their thread saying thanks and that you like the ROM and/or request any specific mods or tweaks you might like.
DoomKernel did have dt2w but he took it out because apparently it causes unnecessary battery drain.
With regards to the unlocking of your bootloader its ABSOLUTELY fine mate Sony support it and you have to use their website to get you bootloader unlocking code anyway, plus restoring the TA is a piece of p!ss seriously.
The performance gains and general pro's to be had from a custom kernel faaaaar outweigh the risks posed when unlocking your bootloader and flashing a new kernel trust me :highfive:

v4a will not work when jet audios hra playback is enabled. it used to work but some roms with dolby and such have some hdcp written into them so it will disable v4a in certain cases.
my rom is the same btw i cant find a fix either. rmember to resart jet audio when you click the hra on or off.
and i just noticed how old this post was. lol
