ICS - 8.6.1 AOKP by Lord ClokaN - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have question about this great room. I am using version 8.6.1 but i have a little problem.
When i plug in my headphones to phone, he doesnt show me the headphones icon on notification bar and if i want set the music effects in DSPManager application, settings are without changes.
For example,
If i set new equalizer options to rock, techno, atc ...., music what i listen is without this changes, if i set better bass, music is again without changes.
I hope u understand me.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my english :fingers-crossed:

The official thread for Q&A for the Ice Cold Sandwich ROM by LC is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369687
Also, the DSP equalizer I use 'DSPManager' works on IceColdS 8.4.
I would assume your phone isn't recognising the headset - sure you plugged it in properly?
And the DSPManager is using the settings under the 'Speaker' tab, so you'd have to change that.

[Q] Music player with 5.1 ch sound?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?
Sent from my Computer using My Keyboard
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
Epic touch 4g sprint running 4.1.2
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.

your question is invalid.
Yes, we DO hear music, either from the speaker, or from the headphones. However, the speaker is not the loudest you can find out there
But sounds from headphones are high quality and loud
My phone don't play music very loud even if the headphones are connected. Does exist an application, which can incrase the volume of my Blade?

use poweramp and check if u have inserted the headphones properly in the jack.
We have android Music 4.0 on Blade I have been using it for a couple of months and got hold of a MIUI Player , its good but dont know if it genuine or not as I have not seen the MiUi Music Player myself.
Great app. I most like the "sleep mode".
It works all right
You can't install it as a normal apk. You'll have to copy it to your /system/app folder with a root enabled file manager (like ES File Explorer or Astro) and rename it to Music.apk.
Don't forget to copy the original one to the SD card (or rename it to Music.bak or something) in case anything goes wrong.

Btw the File Manager works as well, installation is the same. I prefer the MIUI one because a)it looks awesome and b)it has a built in FTP feature which is even more awesome.

You guys can also check out here for more Miui stuff to mingle with.
I've tried the (older) music player version given on there on my gf's Blade and everything was working fine; even the lyrics search which wouldn't work on my Defy... Some apps there are even installable apk if I remember right. But nevertheless, those are system apps; so yes, it is better to push them with adb or a root-enable file explorer AND change their permissions to 644 (same as the other apps in /system/app folder) + reboot.
But all that being said, I much prefer the N7 music player (free from the Play Store) as mentioned here. I've also given an ICS Music.apk player (taken from ICS's system dump release by Google some months ago) that works perfectly fine on CM7 on a post on that same thread..
Enjoy and rock on!
No music on the Blade: good one!!

How to enable beats on poweramp player.

Hi all, im listen allot to FLAC music, and as you know the built in music app doest support this format, so i downloaded poweramp from google play and the sound was bad, so i search in the app how to improve the sound and i found an option to enable the beats audio,
Open the app, go to settings>audio engine>advanced tweaks> and unselect "direct volume control" and listen again
P.s sorry about my poor english, i really hope you all understand me.

The built in music app in fact does support FLAC since android 4.0
Why would you use Beats if you're a music enthousiast listening to FLACs?
You found the comprehensive eq in PowerAmp I take it? Always been able to get a decent sound tuned to the headphones I'm using. Beats is just a bass boost from the eighties.
Make sure you don't have the eq AND the tone controls (bass and treble) enabled, else they'll conflict. Chose one or other.

Not sure about the OP, but on my device, Beats and PowerAmp, work right out of the box. The actual setting is only visible when you have a pair of headphones plugged in, then go to Sounds --> Sound Enhancer to select Beats

Hey thanks , that correct , now when I turn beats icon on/off can fill more baSS in sound, before this trick was no reaction.

Hmm, haven't noticed that, but in general the handling of notifications is very bad with PowerAmp!
Also, the fading function does not work anymore on One X. I posted about this in their forum and they said it is being looked at and will be fixed in the next update, whenever that is... :-/
I only enable Beats Profile when I need to dislodge ear wax. Otherwise I like being able to make out the words being sung.

Funny you mention this. I started noticing this after upgrading to 1.28
Also, the sudden pause/gap when listening to songs is also there; whether the next song starts (crossfading) or you fast-forward a song.
I think PowerAmp has not been optimized for the HTC One X yet. I hope the team is working on it. I love PowerAmp!

I like that as well. When you select ICS Lockscreen in PowerAmp, it uses the actual HTC music widget on your lockscreen, that is very cool.

FLAC, lossless audio with no drop in quality, used by audiophiles to obtain music in exactly the same sound/quality of the original.
Beats Audio - DSP EQ tuner software to alter the sound of the music, like using a crap DSP effect/EQ on a pc soundcard or ancient 1980's midi system
the 2 don't go together, you may as well use mp3 and save on storage space

I don't think this is quite accurate, and furthermore do not understand the hate for Beats. I am not a fan by any means, but I really dislike it when people bash something because they read it elsewhere or someone else told them about it.
I am not saying that you are that person, Zombiefly
Reminds me of Windows Vista and people's perpetual dislike for the OS strictly from word of mouth when a lot of the bugs were squashed with SP1 (and subsequent SPs) ... but I digress
If some people like it, let them be. It just seems that every time someone expresses a certain preference for Beats or just ask a question about Beats in general, a lot of people jump on the hate bandwagon while not addressing anyone's questions; worse they say they prefer DSP Manager.
The irony here is that NONE OF THAT MATTERS if these so-called 'purists' are using Poweramp with the DVC option ticked on LOL; they're not even using Beats except for the notification icon haha.
Apologies for the rant - again, it has nothing to do with you specifically Zombiefly, just wanted to get that off my chest.
Errr, I might be being stupid here but where in Poweramp is the Sounds option?! I see the BeatAudio icon at the top when I plug headphones in and play music in Poweramp but turning Beats off or on in the notification bar makes no difference.
I cannot find an option for Beats anywhere in the Poweramp settings.
Thanks.

[Q] Sound Enhancer

While browsing through the the default music player I checked on various sound enhancements of my One X, it had the beats and usual presets, but then I noticed that it does not have HTC enhancer (I believe it is called SRS on other phones like on my Desire HD and HD7).
Whats funny is that this preset is present on the default video player (along with the beats preset).
I actually prefer this preset compared to the beats or any other preset and I was wondering if it was possible to enable it on the default audio player or any other 3rd party audio player (currently using Ubermusic).
Headphones
To use the sound presets you have to be using headphones, it should then appear in the settings but probbably only in stock music/video apps. Although once changed should effect every app!
Yeah, I am aware that would be the way to do it, but my question is how to get the HTC SRS enhancer on the default audio player (or any other player) as it is available in the default video player (Why put it in the video player in the first place?).
Im assuming HTC thought people wanted the beats preset over anything else when listening to audio. I would have wanted the choice on using the SRS one as I feel the sound is more clean and surround.

you may need to edit an .apk file in the system and the framework.jar. I know the file is srs_trumedia_51.cfg in /system/ect/soundimage.
It would be awesome if someone did make it work for music.

The code to enable the HTC Enhancer is either in the HtcSoundEnhancerSetting.apk or HtcMusic.apk however I suck at finding things
gonna wait until someone can find the right codes
It really is frustrating that it is available on video players but not on music players. I'll take what I can get, whether it be a music player, equalizer manager or modified apk. It seems I'm not the only one who misses the punch SRS does.

What are the advantages to this app?
is it just to adjust audio settings? (I have an HP ENVY beats edition so it has the audio control)
Hmmm I'm not seeing a single change other than now I get a message every so often saying MusicFX.apk has stopped
I've following the OP's instructions, and tried this using AudioGalaxy , Google Music and Samsung's own music player. Nothing I do in the Awesome Beats settings app has any effect at all...
Has this been tested and confirming working on a Sprint Device?
It provides Audio boost ( plus equalizer and bunch of other stuff) for speaker, headset and Bluetooth and to me tunein radio and music sounds better. When I got my SGS3, I was a bit disappointed with audio output quality comparing with iPhone 4 but this app fixed it for me.

Yes, I enabled Boost in the Settings (vs leaving it at MusicFX).
Here's the steps I did so we're all clear... note this is on a Sprint Rooted S3..
1) First copied the AwesomeBeats.apk to the system/app folder and changed permissions as indicated
2) Ran the com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk which caused the phone to install 'something'.
3) Went into settings, changed the Music Effect to "Beats"
Immediately received an error about MusicFX not responding.
4) Tried several music apps and while music was playing went into the new AwesomeBeats app in the app drawer and modified a few settings to extremes to try to see if anything worked.. no sound change..
5) Thought maybe a reboot was in order (not mentioned in OP but hey never know). After reboot, verified beats was still selected in settings, it was.
6) Retried music and beats setting app.. no change.
7) Noticed another app in the App Drawer called "Install BeatsAudio" or something similar... CLicked that, and it said it was installing some files and then it rebooted the phone.. (I thought Aha! OP forgot to mention this)
8) After reboot, verified Beats was still selected in settings... tried Music and AwesomeBeats app again... still no changes no matter what settings were tried.
Since then I've removed the AwesomeBeats.apk from the system folder and rebooted.. menu is now gone in settings and things seem 'back to normal' (though nothing really changed that I could tell).
So there you have it... everything I've tried.
BTW this is on a STOCK Rooted S3 from Sprint... no custom ROM nor Kernel... perhaps that's a difference that is required and not mentioned?
The steps are all good....when you install com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk, you need to used the app called Beats Audio Installer to get Beats audio working, music fx stopped for me only once but after that everything worked perfectly.
did you try to use the get "Boost audio" enable in the app after?

Those of you who have it working, which Music Player are you using to test with and notice the sound difference with... I've been reading that some players simply aren't going to be effected due to coding.. and wondering if that was my issue...
Installed & working on T-Mobile SGS III...Thanks.

I think the only player I have installed that uses it is Google Play Music player. It has to [pardon my terminology if this isn't 100%] hook into the android 'music effect' that you set in settings.
If you guys are you using the stock TW Music Player and say that it works...well check again. This mod will not work with the Stock TW Music Player because of the libs that are associated with the stock app. This mod will only work if you use a different music player other than the stock one. I'm personally using the CM9 Music Player (not Apollo) and it works flawless.
I've attached the apk for the Transparent CM9 music app. :highfive:
Worked great for me. I played a audio podcast in Pocketcast and Google Play. Google play with beats audio enabled is noticeably better. Great job and thanks. I like it.
I have awesome beats on my infuse and it's not much of a difference from my stock GS3 sound. Maybe a bit more bassie but nothing like beats audio on HTC one x! Now that's the best sound I've heard coming out of a phone. Just saying...
But me love me GS3
White Hot! GS3.
Happy to hear that it worked for you guys, please don't forget to hit the "Thank you Button" as I am new and don't have many.
I have tried this MOD with Poweramp, Google Music and Tunein radio and have noticed %40 to %50 increase in audio output. When I first got my SGS3, I started using the stock Samsung music player and I was pretty disappointed but this mod solved my problem.
