Beats audio app - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I found this beats audio app for root users on the android market, installed it and it soft bricked my phone. Currently restoring with Odin because I couldn't get into recovery. Just an FYI I guess. Evidently this is a common problem with sgs3 users

I have it on my phone.

Yeah, I don't really care for the beats audio either...sure isn't voodoo sound! I miss that app :crying:

I had the same soft brick problem. Happened during the reboot.

I've never used the app on the play store, but I've read multiple cases that say it bricks peoples phones. I've only used THIS and it works flawlessly on my GS3.

I use the same thing works great. I iv always loved dsp back in the CM7 days of my touch 4g. I'm on frosty ics and it works great

Using spint s3... dw last night the beats audio app.... it looks great but then the hidden apps start installing on my phone..so i uninstall it, NOW I heard MY SElf double using the phone.... Doing a factory restart as we speak...

I am not real familiar with beats audio, even though I have seen many ROMS that list it as included. Does it have any benefits to install a clean and working version of beats audio?
Sorry, not trying to hijack thread, but might as well ask if it has any upsides.

There are better audio improvement hacks and apps out there.
Look/search through the themes and apps section here and also in the Android Development Forum (the main one, not this one).
Ill post a link in a few from my computer.
I haven't used any of them, but im basing my statment on what many others have reported.

I ve been using awesome beats for several months and it is...awesome, lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728391&page=160 Note: It says it works on aosp roms but also works for tw roms
4 days ago i started using viper4audio, and for me the sound is more natural than awesome beats, you choose http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

I had the exact same problem with the echo. Damn it was annoying too. I deleted it and reinstalleď the Rom and it went away so it def was the app. I am on T-Mobile s3 now and I won't dare download it again. Not sure if it's limited to Sprint s3 or not but I don't intend to find out
tmobile s3 running wicked. I still use a t9 text app so excuse the errors

There are many mods you can find on the forums that affects sound quality like the AC!D soundmod, viper, etc. I'd recommend you check those out before installing something off the playstore.

I flashed it on a stock deodexed ROM just so I could have a working DSP manager and it didn't break anything. Do a backup to be safe.

Same issue here. ATT stock rooted with CWM. I used the no tripping flash counter root with stock_root67.zip file if it matters. I can toggle and change settings but they have no effect. I've already changed the settings to Awesome Beats under sound.

Thanx, it worked - I also read PowerAmp can also cause this ( Settings > Audio > Adv Tweak > Disable Direct Vol ) > although it didnt make a difference it mine, basically it needs Google Music Play
EDIT: So noticed the following
1) Works with Google Play Music > Speaker and Headset
2) Bluetooth setting doesnt work however the Speaker side controls the Bluetooth headset amplification
3) Doesn't work for Online Radio ( Tune in )

Cm9 dsp manager (beats free)

Don't know if I'm hallucinating, deaf, or dumb, but it seems dsp with beats doesn't work on a systemwide level (pandora etc) also I hate beats. So here's cm9 dsp manager if anyone wants it. Works on any rom (i think) any carrier, and is system wide! It also seems to be less prone to crackling than the beats mod.
version 3 * ZIP *http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709497
version 1 APK *http://multiupload.biz/mfakw2a1i6uf/DSPManager_MultiUpload.biz.apk.html OLD VERSION
Have you tried this yourself on an AT&T, TMobile or Sprint S3?
Reason I ask is your posting it here, and I've tried it on Sprint's S3... no dice.
Installs fine, settings are there, but simply no effect in either the Samsung Music App, Google Music, nor PowerAmp (with EQ/Tone turned off of course).
It worked fine on my old HTC Evo, so I know how it is supposed to work etc... but no matter what setting I make on the S3, it sounds all the same. I had the same issue with a Beats Audio port someone posted, but they too never tested on SPrint's and I'm wondering if perhaps sprint did something special (wouldn't surprise me).
If you DO have it working, please post your Carrier , ROM, and which music app you're using to test (One where you can drastically change the DSP settings while music is playing and notice a difference).
Ohh and I'm using the Samsung Earbuds for now since those are the only ones with Volume I have and that's kinda nice
Well my bad I just can't imagine the carrier would matter in this case. Any other Sprint users want to chime in?

I don't see how that's possible. I'd try again.
Flashed it again. Still nothing. I notice it says HTC one x in the script as it installs. Doubt that makes any difference since there was only one dl. Are you using the older version or version 3? Cause I am trying to flash version 3.

I tried both.version one works but sucks. Yeah it's originally from one x but works for me. Did your rom have audio enhancement already? Maybe something's incompatible...

Yeah, came with beats. That was the other thing I thought might be conflicting.
I'll try adding it to a stock rom this evening.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

[Q] AC!D sound mod

I've searched for this and also posted in the AC!D thread in the Themes & Apps forum to no avail.
I installed the universal version (5-1.1) on my S3 running AOCP and ktonsez kernel. It works great but I lose the ability to use Voice Search and speech to text in my messaging app. Any idea on what is causing the interference? I haven't found an app that will work with Pandora and bluetooth except for this and I really miss it! I was using the fixed version 2.0 when I was on Liquid Rom and everything worked fine, but it will not work on AOCP.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
On the acid thread in themes,it says that the download link is down because of changes being made for galaxy versions,so maybe hang on a bit ,there are probably fixes on the way?

I'll give that a go and see if it works. I want to say I tried it before and added Nooz, but didn't work.
Tried it again with Noox and no difference in sound. Voice search and speech-to-text didn't work either.

[MOD] ACiD Audio Engine

Hey guys here's a link to ACiD Audio Engine. I've been using this audio engine and the results have been pretty great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002367
Use the universal installation in aroma and remember if you install walkman don't install any add-ons.
I personally skip the walkman installation and use the noozy add-on.
Please do a nandroid backup before trying and do not install on top of nocturnal's music mod as ACiD's site states any other music mod could cause issues.
Remember not to use music player equalizer as the installed app changes sound system wide.
Also don't forget on first boot let device settle and then reboot.
BTW this has worked on my epic 4g, gs3, touchpad, asus transformer and evo 3d with just about the same results: amazing control over sound with great clarity and bass.
Thanks for viewing and give thanks to the acid forum if you find this useful.

You won't regret it. Remember this changes settings system wide so don't use in app equalizer. Go to the main app of whatever add-on you used. I personally use noozy and the results are great clarity, great equalizer and very adjustable bass.

Remember you can install both options in aroma where it mentions the type of phone you have, including the one with framework. It just has to be the universal options. I did that and it's been great.
