Hi all,
I've just get an used pair of Monster urBeats by Dr. Dre. I think these are the model wich was included with some "high-end" HTC phones.
The earphones sounds like a charm but mic and control buttons didn't work on my LG p990 with a CM9 based ROM.
I've tried to use Beats Audio Installer from Market and Awesome BEATS v3 as a DSP replacement from this forum, but they did nothing to me.
I know that buttons probably not work but mic must do, imho.
I will appreciate any help. Many thanks.
I've also checked JAYS Headset and nothing happens... any idea?
Up??

HTC has announced "beats" technology in their new phones that supposedly offer better audio quality when plugging in Beats headphones.
Pretty much a publicity stunt.
I think it's hardware related... chance for desire HD... but i don't think we Vision can have Beats working
What's the difference between htc dezire and g2 I thought they were the same thing and what I was asking to your question is can we get htc beats on cyanogen mod . Basicly can it be converted to an apk like a normal application would and would it run on my g2 properly running cyanogen mod nightlies

Its on virtuous unity. Its nothing more than eg preset though

Exactly what spastic said... you can get it for AOSP (CM7/MIUI) roms with volume+ app. But, as he said, its just an equalizer. It does make an inprovement, imo.

Desire HD is capable of play Dolby and SRS while Vision is not... ROM like Virtuous Unity can make Dolby working for Vision but SRS still not work. That makes me think of the differences in hardware between these 2 devices
I've used some previous Sense 3.5 ROM that has Beats but not working or force close on activation

Any flashable zips? Link to the app? Lol i'm running aosp and i'm interested cuz the lack of an equalizer sucks
It's probably useless, actually; I found something weeks ago demo'ing how the Beats software works on laptops. It actually completely kills your bass and treble when it's off and then makes things sound magically better when it's on, because you're comparing it to garbage. I would assume that's how the phone software works too. You'd be better off just using the DSPManager that's included with CM7 and setting the EQ how you like.
However, I know the laptops get a better audio processor, and I'm sure those one or two new phones have also has better audio processing hardware, which we obviously cannot duplicate.
its not possible on cyanogen, but it works on siulmagics sense 3.0 port. ill upload it tonight maybe. and YES SRS and DOLBY also work. beats makes a huge impact for me tbh.

Sir, can you suggest a great DSP manager settings for Headphones?

Yup! It's pretty easy to do. Open DSP Manager, enable Dynamic Range Compression (I recommend Moderate strength). Enable Bass boost, select the strength you think suits best. Enable equalizer, and the preset closest to beats is Rock, but as each set of headphones or earphones is different, you may wish to tweak the EQ manually too - it's simple enough. If sound is too bassy, reduce the first two points, if too much treble, the 4th and 5th points. You'll get used to the feel of it after a short while playing about.
There's no perfect EQ that suits every type of music or every set of headphones. The best thing to do is play around with it until you get a sound you really like. Presets are a good place to start, though.
Wasn't there a beats_allandroid.zip somewhere? A flashable beats library that boosts the sound quality a little? I remember flashing that onto my Milestone, which screwed the original motorola sound enhancers, but it worked perfectly with DSP manager on HTC Desire Z, and the audio was better. These were still just libraries, not an APP, DSP manager still worked better IMO. I don't know about beats headphones though, I got a higher mid-end AKG phones - plays great.
HELLO devs and noobs like me,this a mod which i extracted from the desires z forum,I extracted it because i wanted my fellow sense 3.0 user who want to feel beats audio.This addon adds BEATS AUDIO! AND SRS AND DOLBY AUDIO! Also, RCMix tweaks, which includes turning CRT on and off on the fly, WITHOUT THE ORANGE LED BUG!!! this also comes with a blue theme.

Just want to hear for myself what it's like, that's all. I've heard multiple people say that DSPmanager is way better.
Most workload speaker quickly fails will wheeze.

With earphones DPS Manager seems better, but I find Beats to be better when using my phone via aux to listen to music in my car.

thats because youve tweeked the sound to compliment your headphones where as beats is more generic.
just read what you said... an app doesnt care what you are plugging into it so the reason you are hearing a difference is because of your hardware and nothing to do with beats
you could configure dsp manager to sound better in your car however i no longer use dsp as the eq and preamp in poweramp is far superior
you could create an eq profile for your headphones and an eq profile for your car and then you dont have to turn anything off , just switch profile
poweramp is awesome, yes it costs money but its utterly worth it if you are a fan of good sounding music (the sound reproduction is the best ive heard on my desire with sennheisers )
beats lowers midrange on eq and hightens bass and treble, exactly like megabass. its no magic trick
Does the beats headset included in htc sensation xl will workbin galaxy note in terms of playback controls?

don't know, usually they should work..
i even tried iphone earphones and they worked with all features
Use a software mod
Well, I think even if the controls are getting jammed you can use some mod software like headset control in order to make it work according to your needs.

Yes either that (JAYS Headset Control) which currently allows you to control your Android with only 1 button,
or you modify your headphones to work with android:

Sorry couldn't help myself. But no, everyone on this thread is right, and like I've said many times before.. All "****s by Gay" does is turn up the volume and increase the bass, if you turn it off it's like it turns off lows and turns up highs so you hear a massive difference.
You'd be better off with Poweramp Pro and using the equaliser or even the presents on that, with music in a better quality than 128kb/s MP3 (i.e. .flac which is about 900kb/s... if you have enough space that is since it takes up about 6x more), and a decent pair of headphones and you'll be all set, even with the Desire.

Anybody running an aftermarket eq or dsp pack? Looking to improve the audio. Tried a beats apk and it would only work intermittently, switched to player pro with the dsp plugin and audio is a little better. On my one x plus i had the viper rom with beats audio and it sounded great and had a bunch of different headphone profiles built in. Id like to get something like that again. Anybody found something that works. I am rooted on the at&t model if you need to kno.

Improve Audio?
I think Poweramp still the king
With tuning at Equalizer and Tone
audio quality sucks on every Qualcom chipsets... that makes me to come back to my iphone
I just downloaded Equalizer from Smart Android Apps last night. BIG improvement to the sound quality, and the "Unlocked" version is only two bucks.
