Why beats and dsp? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I don't have music on my phone. I listen to Pandora while I'm at work. Equalizer app works great and its global, so anything you play will sound great! So why is everyone so crazy about something that only works with limited apps?

who said it's only work with limited apps? It's in the Root of the phone, when you flash Beats Audio everything you hear changes, much better
quality and clarity.
DSP manager is there to manipulate the settings.
flash and see, you will see the difference

Volume + is for no and rooted users and works way better then beats

But nothing sounds like DSP Manager on cm roms. The clarity and quality is just too good.

beats dsp is only different in one way it uses the beats library
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I understand the basics behind both of them, running all stock PA 2.13 right now and don't notice any difference between stock DSP on or off. Has anyone flashed a beats on a JB ROM successfully? The ICS ROMs I flash work great by ear just on the phone, as well as, streamed or connected to an external source. Any input is appreciated

There are different types of beats. But if you know how to work an eq, dsp or awesome beats should work

Poweramp's eq is good too, but there are those who stream from their Google music that needs a more general use eq.

1) Equalizer app works with Pandora but does not with Google Music...
2) Some versions (latest) of DSP work with Google Music but not with Pandora...
3) "Ported" beats libs does not work at all on SGII...
4) Good headphones (like IE80) does not need any EQs...
Make your pick.

How do you know that?
Alright, to be constructive, make an experiment... delete all beats *.bin files... leave only AwesomeBeats.apk, config file and cyanogen lib.so... reboot...
Does it still work?

OK. Well I use Pandora so I'll stick with equalizer, cause it sounds good. If I ever get a bigger SD card so I can put music on here I'll check out beats.

With Google Music you can stream from cloud ... you don't need to keep your music on SD card.
Google gives you cloud space for 20000 titles regardless of file size for free. I have around 5000 songs with high bitrate it's about 40GB.

Well, I got Awesome Beats installed, and it makes a WORLD of difference, however, after playing through maybe a song and a half, it disables, and the sound goes really low until I go back in, uncheck everything, recheck it, and restart the music.

Try Poweramp... It works great. Just to be sure, do the issue you are facing happen with headphones in or out? Or both? It could be faulty headphones shorting it out and causing the issue or just a simple reboot might fix fix the problem.

Try using anyone of the music players you mentioned above with the original earbuds that the phone came with and then on speakerphone and see what happens.

**UPDATE** Bring life to your music

Check out the rezound beats in the skyrocket forums. Just flash the zip for either AOKP/CM10 and listen to the BEST your phone will ever sound. Unlike the half decent beats or DSP manager, this is INCREDIBLE.
****Check the last post for the update***

If u know how to eq music this will never be a problem
Lol I know how to equalize music because I'm a music artist and love to tweak. I'm just saying this installs better drivers into the phone itself and comes with an eq that is just amazing. Thanks for the comment though.
Lol check it out seriously.

Scroll a little from the top of the thread and you'll see in red lettering "official release v1.0" under that you will see AOKP and CM10 under each of the names there is a drop box link to each of the files.

I flashed aokp jb and added the build props and couldn't replicate the issue. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you...
And hope that works, that's the one I'm currently using but I'm on CM10 it should work.

I installed it and did the build props but all it added was the Dolby app and the audio FX setting.
I thought i t was supposed to add an EQ or something. I don't hear any change in sound quality from the speaker or with my headphones.

How does this compare to awesome beats? I can play with any equalizer to optimize my music but i like awesome beats' bass boost for my subs, it gives it that lower hum without the hard thump.

Honestly I think this gives a better sound quality overall. And as for the bass I've got to say that this EASILY beats out the beats audio with any kind of bass you're looking for. Bass is deep and strong and the bass boost is ridiculous how much of a boost it gives with clarity to add.
My advice is make a backup and check it out. No guarantees but damn you'd be missing out if you didn't at least try.

Bad audio driver?

I feel like the s3 has weak audio drivers. On my old photon 4g running cm 7 with DSP I had my volume at mid level and it would block out the train on my morning commute. Now running killjoys ROM even with the volume all the way up, I can still here everything around me. I also can't get any EQ's to work. They don't change the sound at all. Not sure if its my phone, ROM, or something else.

Beats Audio and recovery

I just got beats audio on my phone using the beats installer app. I first tested it out on my old phone and the sound was crazy good. Don't see a huge difference on my note but its noticeable. Has anyone else tried it for themselves too? Also, is there a way to store my nandroid backups on my computer since it takes up so much memory.
Yes I know these are two totally different questions but I dont want to clutter up the q & a board

Just connect your phone to your computer and copy over the TWRP folder from your internal or sd card (where ever you backup to.)
I use the beats audio installer from the play store and it works great, especially in conjuction with the boost in stweaks

DSP manager

Running vanilla root box nightly 6/18 and I can't seem to get DSP working. I don't notice any difference. Is it the headphones or music app causing this? Using power amp and default gs3 headphones. When using my old HTC og evo 4g DSP worked flawlessly 100% of the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Did you use it with poweramp on the evo?
Poweramp has its own eq built-in. So you may have to use it.
Don't know much more about dsp though, sorry.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Yeah that's the thing.... On the evo DSP worked regardless of my player. It even worked in addition to any presets I placed with poweramp
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If its a bug, it may have been addressed in the recent nightlies. They fixed several problems from what I understand.
Otherwise, I'm just not sure. Did you ask in the roms thread?

I don't think so, since we edited the rom/script to get it to install. I wouldn't try until the dev adds the T999L to his script.
Just fyi, you'd be much better off posting this type of question in this thread:
