Title says it all, is it even possible to port over a Xperia Rom to our phone, or any phone for that matter?
I've recently came across numerous Xperia mods for ICS - Music, Gallery etc. Even a sweet audio mod, by far the best one I've used. Yeah, I'm an audiophile freak I love music.
So when I found out about these mods, I had to test them all! To say the least they work, unfortunately I get stuck with an equalizer that doesn't work properly but enables full access to the audio mod. I've heard it, its amazing.
So what I'm asking, because I believe it would be easier for me an audio freak to use these. Is it possible to even have a port to our phone?

The HTC Desire HD has a cool feature called Connected Media and it works really well on the IncredibleDoes ROM, does anyone think it is possible to port only this feature over to any sense ROM? Maybe it would require the whole music player I dont know. What does everyone think?

I really want that too. I flashed that ROM onto my inc and it worked really nice.
I have it installed on my uber z rom already. Only problem I ain't got a device that I can connect it to so I have no idea if it works or not. It does try to find devices and does not fc fwiw
By itself it does nothing. Its more or less a shortcut. The dlna is built into the framework and the music app. It would be difficult to port without porting the whole music app.
I love the stock music player that came with my galaxy s because of it's ability to play music in 5.1 ch.
However, I have now flashed the latest MIUI to my sgs but the music player is not able to play music in 5.1 ch, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys know an app that can do this?
Thanks
5.1ch is just a sound effect. You can get it on any player app with basic tweaks to the equalizer settings.

Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?

With 5.1ch people usually mean that instead of stereo (which is 2 channels, left + right) you have 4 additional channels (Center + Back left + Back Right + LFE or Bass (.1))
Your phone only has one speaker so I'm not sure how you want to achieve this.
The audio output is only capable of sending out stereo as well.
A source file with multi-channel audio is usually in *.vob format (DVD video format) but I know of no player that will show this on Android (except for the Archos Gen8 stock video player).
Audio only files would typically be in *.wav or *.ac3 format but same here, I know of no player that will play these multi-channel streams.
Perhaps I misunderstood your question?

im sure you can find a port for the stock galaxy s player in this forum

The stock galaxy s music player was able to simulate 5.1 ch (when headphones were plugged in) which provided a very nice boost in sound quality. What I'm looking for is either a port of that music player to MIUI or another music player that is able to do the same thing (or some eq settings that does it would also be fine).

I have yet to find one that actually installs on my phone
That option is a load of bull XD.When you listen you only have 2 speakers assuming you are using earplugs which makes 2.0 the highest you can achieve. You shouldn't bother about it... just a stupid tweak that imho makes the sound sound worse...
your comment is a load of bull.. no offence here. But the guy is asking for something dont tell him if its bad or not. He likes it other people like it some dont like it you find it bull. But he doesnt comment you on that does he?

And yes i find the sound nice to. And like other people said there are ways to get this trough EQ settings but so far i havnt got it the same as the stock player one

All I was saying that the option is stupid and it's fake it doesnt provide 5.1ch surround sound and I thought he was thinking that and I was helping his out of his dream (read his 3rd post... this is the case here..). If this is the case my comment is valuable if this isn't well.. he'll just do nothing with the information... It's a win anyway, he has nothing to lose, playing around with a EQ is way better ;/. Install voodoo sound tbh if you want a good musical experience...

The 5.1ch option was not stupid, even though it was fake. It made the sound much clearer and better on all headphones I used.
Will look into voodoo sound, thanks for the tip.
I had 5.1 available when I was using a gingerbread version I got from here. Now I can't seem to find one Pretty sure it was Calkulon or something along those lines. It was way better sound (with headphones) in my opinion, so I'm trying to find a current version that will deliver that "fake" surround

On a side note, I got Jellybean using a vid a watched from QBking77 on youtube, and he references you guys alot.
There are some bugs with Jelly Bean... For instance my mic cuts out when I hold the phone to my face and the screen goes off. Bluetooth headset... NOT A CHANCE lol. On speakerphone i can talk just fine. Headset, works great too. Sometimes I have to pull the battery because the screen dims. But for the most part, it works great.
I am wondering is any custom roms have better sound drivers.
Take for instance, running FPSE and FF7, on my stock Play with 2.3.4, the sound plays, but the sound just isn't quite right on some things, like sirens, or certain music.
I've seen videos of other people playing it, and the sound is PERFECT. Like they were on a PC.
I read somewhere it had to do with how Android plays Midi files or something.
Just wondering, do custom roms have better sound quality and such?
not really, no

Any if them. Power amp is a great app for music, I like it a lot.

It's not the rom that made sound quality, but the phone and the headset. What do you use as earphone ?
Get any sense 3.5 rom, make sure it has beats plugin in the stock music player. Choose srs enhancement and play the song...nothing can beat that quality.

So true. Rom or music player won't do anything much, except for some which have dspmod in it. The point is a good headset is the key for a good music. Plus an amp if you could afford one. :hehe:
if you have a long journey than sure you need better battery life install cm7 and with power amo or player pro or winamp or even the stock one with dsp manager should work fine
Thanks for all the posts guys! Know beats aren't loved here but I've got a pair of studios (I got them cheap off a friend not stupid enough to pay more than they are worth). I went with a sense 3.5 rom in the end with power amp and it was great! The only thing is...on quite a few roms, I experience this annoying thing!! Sometimes while listening to music...I'll unlock the screen and this weird noise interrupts the song...sometimes it happens when I lock the phone aswell. Its not the headphones coz it happens with all my headphones :/ I thought it may be rom related but its not

dig into the advance audio engine settings of poweramp. increase the buffer size to 750ms. should make that go away.

Trying that now...will report back although I've switched to primo s sense 4.0 Rom and the problem seems to be gone :/

Try different Sense 3.5 Rom if you are enabling beats audio. I've noticed that each some Roms don't give the fill Beats experience. It also could just be me. Also flash the xperia xLoud engine found on the Rom that combines rc mix and virtuous. I can't post links cause I'm considered a new member. I find that funny since I have been using this site for 1.5 years yet never signed up till now.
I'm on a sense 4.0 Rom and the problem seems to be gone been on this Rom for 2 days now and haven't experienced the problem! I know what Rom ur talking about....from xxxpachaxxx. That's the Rom I just switched from because of the problem

Finally on the 3.5 Rom you were talking about I didn't have any fuzziness but I did experience increased battery drainage while listening to music compared to other Roms.

power amp
i have tested a lot of music apps on a few phones and need to say that first of all the phone is responsible for the sound quality. Off course the headset is important parallelly ( i use denons plugs which i think are good enough). There is no doubt though that players quality differs. In my opinion power amp is the best ever app to play music on the android phone. You can adjust the sound as much as possible. PLayer pro seems to be good too but there is a kind of whisle noise in the background playing continously and it's disqualifying the app completelly. Other apps are not worth even trying
Amazon MP3?
I know some groan at the thought, but Amazon MP3 is also pretty decent. It's got a built-in EQ with some preset settings, and if you buy music from them at all, it's nice because it will interface directly with your Cloud account. You could d/l a bunch of stuff from your Cloud to your phone (if you have the room) before you go on your journey.
It's not the only music app I use, but it's not bad.
I'm looking to get Sony Walkman mod to work on t-mobile s4.
I want to use Sony's equalizer and it's clear bass feature.
Has anyone got this mod or app working?
If so then then you can you confirm which custom rom and kernel you used (and which recovery).
I have the files from another thread. For developers I can link them so that you can try to get them to work on t-mobile version of s4.

It will NOT work or not work properly.
Even with the S3 which the sony walkman mod was made for it never worked properly.
Most of the settings/features did not even show up at all, no equalizer, clear bass and
no downloading of music art/albums from imdb or any other place.
None of the devs ever really completed the ported Walkman mod, all it did was play music
without any of the features which most other music players have.

Thanks!
That's sad. IMO this is one of the most valuable mods for audiophiles. I spend mad money a year on expensive headphones and audiophile music players (I have several Sony walkman lol), etc.
I would have no problem giving a generous donation to something like this. Don't know why it wasn't finished. Maybe I should get an Experia phone.
