It's supposed to be universal, I am downloading now and will update my finding. Anyone else tried this?

Read about it on Lifehacker, how's it working out for you?
This is pretty interesting, might give it a try.
Nice. Downloading to give a try. I thought I saw some devs talking about incorporating this into some ROMs?

Weird. So it could actually work on a TW ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
So has anyone tested this yet?
Tried it on cm9 (Shabby's latest nightly). Some things work, others don't and some will cause the script to hang. It looks like the build.prop tweaks applied and the init.d items copied to the appropriate folder, though I really can't notice a whole heaping difference myself so I don't know if they actually did anything, and the script itself ran out of the box. The not working list looks to consist of things that probably just need a little E4GT love from our devs to button everything up straight. And (at least for me) installing the Smart Stay app froze the whole process but after a reboot I found that it installed the app.
Just my .02¢, others could probably give a much better run down but I just wanted to play with it so it only seemed right to share what I noticed.
Props to the Dev and OP. I'm very fond of this idea, and thankful it was shared.
UPDATED: OK so I got bored and tried it on PA 2.16 and got a little better luck (ie didn't freeze once and actually installed everything I had selected.)
I'm also on PA and it doesn't cripple anything, but I don't see a very dramatic difference in much of the overall operation. I was hoping it'd help battery life but it seems no different. The Sony music player is kind of cool, and the CPU governors seem to kick in. I guess one would have to really dig in to see the difference. But I'm stoked on this kind of mod coming out.

Another update: I've tried it on aosp jb and ics and touchwiz ics. Still no huge differences anywhere on any rom but it's useful to add beats and a file manager on roms that dont have one out of the box amongst other things. I hope to see this come out of development strong as it's a nice concept
I've noticed more steady battery life.

Which tweaks did you use, if you remember? Ver 2.0 has had a small improvement over the original so maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention. I must say the update alone makes this worth trying once.

Just installed this.. The installation went well.. Going to give it a few cycles to see some results

This seems promising. I can't speak to any battery life improvement yet but the phone does feel snappier.
I installed v2 and here is my find running few tweaks.
Browser seems a bit faster
Touch input seems more accurate and responsive
Battery is hard to tell but maybe added 30mins extra screen on time
I flashed sony music and beats, but I can't find them... not sure whats up lol
Regardless, everything seems a bit more responsive?
Smartstay is quite handy. Especially for pron

I've only ever gotten the Awesome Beats app from Pimp my Rom, which is just a modded DSP manager. The Sony apps are a music player and gallery, which are pretty nicely polished, with quite a few addons for them. What is this acid audio app you mentioned? Not that I'm doubting you, I've just never run across it so I'd like to check it out.

Hey guys,
I've seen this mod for other phones, does anyone know if there's one available for the Epic 4G Touch? It would be spectacularly helpful for when I'm listening to music in the car.
Thanks!
Unnamed ROM has it built in. Works with every music app according to the developer.

It's part of the framework so probably not.
I know what you mean though. I used this with CM7 on my EVO and loved it. I'm glad to have it back again. I've searched high & low on the market for an app to do this and found nothing that does this quite the same.

I'm willing to try, I'm sure the framework is different but 5 mins would be worth it to me. I may have to dl a rom for the epic touch and just extract what I need.
I was given a copy of the phone apk and you are right. The framework causes crashes. I just want the full t9 search w my stock epic dialer. Not the first or last name search. In the et4g it searches both first and last. That's the only reason I wanted to test it.
T9 dialer is in CM9 if I remember correctly. Give ICS a try.

Yep the camera on cm9 works flawlessly for me... the camera is pretty damn good too! Have a couple high quality pics/videos of my daughter swinging by herself for the first time at the park ... they turned out way better than my wifes evo also... also if there is an app called photo enhancement on the market that's amazing... makes the pics look like they were done with a professional camera...
first one is untouched cm9... second is enhanced with the app...
I could've played with it to make it look better but just wanted to give you the jist of the app...

Ok I've never had any real problem with ICS but this one bug drives me crazy and I never see anyone mention it here. Whenever I'm listening to music and try to browse the Web it just constantly keeps scrolling up. This happens every time the speaker is in use. If I use a wired headset or my my stereo bluetooth set to listen to music it does not do this. It even happens if you get a text message and your notification plays so it's definitely related to the speaker. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets this so why is it never brought up? Maybe a fix from one of our wonderful devs?? I've been avoiding dl'in a third party browser but I guess maybe it's time

It's been a problem for me in every ICS builds since I've had this phone. I don't take no steps I just have any music app whether it's the built in music player or Pandora playing and if I try to use the browser it's a p.i.t.a because it'll just keep scrolling up unless I stop my music. Even if I'm not listening to music and a text comes in the sound makes it scroll up. Something about my speaker and browser are not playing nicely with each other. It's plain weird. I'm using chrome at the moment and the issue is gone with it. So far I hate it tho. Can't even set a home page wth lol

Hi All,
I'm about to release version 7 of the ROM; however, are there any other modifications people want on the ROM. Mods they saw in other posts that I can possibly implement?
Thanks,
I'm not sure if it has already been added, but I really want Google Now added. That is the biggest thing about JB that I miss
A themed rom would be sweet! It would definitely stand out. ICS dialer would be a great start. Also an optional zip to flash inverted apps.

This app installs the beats 'drivers' or some other type of audio driver. On my Galaxy Nexus (also Samsung) this absolutely worked.
It activates when you put the headphones in.
Maybe its just a generic ultra bass driver that it installs. But whatever it does, it just works.
Noticible difference in crisp deep lows with this installed versus uninstalled
So this app isn't yours, you have no idea what it does, and if it's like you say and it installs "drivers" then it's installing proprietary HTC drivers on a Samsung phone. Yeah - all of those add up to a bad idea.
Plus Beats is a kernel implementation which Samsung legally itself can't use - so yeah - any "improvement" is going to be negligible if any at all - falling into placebo category.

Basically, beats has 2 parts; hardware and a software EQ. Beats hardware is basically when the manufacturer uses higher quality components and places them on a separate PCB to keep interference (crosstalk) down. The second, the software part of beats makes the default audio profile "duller" by lowering some frequencies. Then they tweak the second "beats" EQ profile with slightly "crisper" sound by basically adjusting the mids and highs upwards a bit. This results in more of a difference when switching back and forth between the beats on and off settings. You can pretty much achieve the same effect by messing with the built in EQ if there is no actual beats hardware.
The beats audio has been modded to work with non HTC crap phones for ever. Thank you for sharing.
NOTE 3
Just trying to lend a hand.
Have been reading that people are having issues with headphones mucking up the audio in some way.
If nothing else maybe this could help fix.
Even with the EQ settings on Google music I could never get my nexus to sound as good as with these drivers.

Maybe you shouldn't call it a driver but an audio profile. I think that would put people at ease. Some people might be on edge since development is slow right now and we got off to a rocky start with the whole brickloop drama.

I looked into it on my Note 2 and when I tore down the apk, it basically revealed a bunch of audio settings. Some were EQ settings, some were profiles for headphones, phone speaker etc. There are no drivers since we don't have any applicable hardware on these phones.
Doesn't work for me, just breaks third party audio apps that use the audio settings feature. The stock Samsung app has its own EQ. I suspect it's trying to do the same thing DSP Manager does on CM ROMs but all it did on mine was crash things. There's no uninstaller either which sucks, so backup or Odin if you want to remove it.
