I am currently on CyanogenMod 10.1 with astro player and DSP. Was just wondering is there a mod like acid or franken beats that would improve the audio as at high volume the sound becomes distorted with DSP? And would it even work on 4.2.1 android? Thanks
Theres loads, cwm flashables your looking at acid audio mod and frankenbeats. Which I haven't tried.
If your rom supports it you could flash the perseus kernel and have stweaks which is a kernel specific app with audio tweaks that directly manipulate the wolfson dac in the Note 2.
Theres also the Nooz app on the play store that gives you some fantastic sound if you have a bunch of lossless files and decent headphones

Hey Guys,
I have found a great Audio Equalizer App that amplifies the Audio in a very Awesome way that you will forget the Beats Audio and xloud and the Bravia Engine and other Audio Mods.
I have tested this Equalizer App on my Samsung Galaxy Ace with the Panasonic RP-DJ100 headphones and the output was much better and superb than other Audio optimization mods like Beats™ Audio and others.
I suggest you users to please try out this app before any other mod like Beats™ Mod.
NOTE 1:-
The App works With custom Audio libs and mods like Beats™ mod and others like SRS,Xloud.(As Reported By Users).
NOTE 2:-
Please don't thank me because I have just shared the app and I have not made it.
If you want then you can thank the Original Author by Paying for the Equalizer App Pro Features Unlock key and supporting the author.

i am using this app since many months its a great app and u can use it with beats audio or any other also. you will not get any fc or error.
I already made a thread of this...
Look for Improve audio thread

Actually you can use it with modified audio libs such as Beats, SRS, etc. Won't FC. Anyway i highly recommend this app.
Just try this:
Put your media volume all the way down, turn on this equalizer app.
Hear that beeping sound?
Edit: it works with any audio libs / mods including beats audio and xloud.
For those who read signatures.
Thanks all for letting me know that it works with all audio libs and mods.
I will add it later to the OP.
Developers! why haven't you included any equalizer in CyanogenMOD democracy final? Its a good rom but its battery life is poor and also even whn i have installed mega beats from CWM, i don't notice some enhancements in audio. you should have added an equalizer in it.
What more can be done with audio.
BTW i'm using Pioneer SE MJ21K headphones.
What does bravia Engine Do?
Hi, you can try DSP Equalizer which is from cm7 too (works good for me) and i just read what bravia engine does. It enhances your camera more brighter when you take picture in dark. btw i don't know if it works for gio, i haven't tried it before
i would have also preferred dsp manager since beats audio or the audio driver the rom has kills all the bass
isn't dsp manager available as a stand alone cwm flashable zip?
Hello people,
I valorize the sound quality in any rom... Do you know which one provides, today, the best audio quality? Thanks
That has nothing to do with the ROM.
Libs in the phone. Theres mods like beats, clear audio +, acid

Stock rom with the Walkman player.
Word of warning, don't go anywhere near AC!D audio. It's a whole bunch of rubbish applications an libs that actually make the sound worse!! I installed it yesterday, and then restored my Nandroid backup and noticed how much richer, fuller and clearer the sound and bass was in the original Walkman player using the built in sound enhancements compared to the AC!D mod :good:

This is 100% true, acid mod and beats etc only make the audio quality worse
Sparta Charge is the rom with the worst audio quality
For audio quality better try Stock or any rom based on stock without sound mods
If you want the Xperia S walkman player I can give you it without garbage sound mod

Hmm. I quite like the sound of acid. It's a lot sharper and crisp. Maybe it's just my preference

BEATS quality audio can be achieved just by tweaking with PowerAMP EQ.

Me myself and I are running Android Revolution HD 6.0 with Perseus 29 kernel on my grey Note 2. With this perseus kernel you have a few audio options through sTweaks but I can't get my 24bit 96Khz FLACS sound like I would like to.. The bass keeps sounding a little woozy.. I would like to have cleaner bass and a little more detailed mids.
I am doing my listening test with 3 pairs of headphones (Stock Samsung earphones, B&W C5 in-earphones and cheapass Sehnheiser HD201 headphones)
I am using different albums for my test containing: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, Beatles - Love. These albums are all 24 bits and 88.2Khz or 96khz and played with Neutron Music Player.
Mods and apps I tried:
AC!D (works but better without stweaks.. stweaks seems to overrule some stuff wich results in distortion)
Awesome Beats (doesn't seem to work on my rom and kernel)
Neutron Music Player (Fine player with some nice audiophile options but poor interface)
Sony Walkman Player (Doesn't want to install)
sTweaks (Haven't found right settings for it yet and I don't want it to interfere with AC!D)
The problem is them interfering with each other.. I think AC!D does a fine job but its interfering witch sTweaks I guess.. Still some sort of distortion.
What do you run on your Note 2 to get the purest audiophile possible sound out of it? Please also note what rom and kernel you are running not every mod is compatible with every rom or kernel.
Have you tried installing Beats audio Installer [ROOT] from the Play store it helped my sound alot make sure you make a nand backup though you cant un install it.
What rom and kernel are you running this Beats installer on?
Im using omega 8.0 rom with the acid mod installed and sony walkmann player. im only using stock headphone atm but the sound is great on them.
Ive included in the post the sony walkman app that works with my note 2 and the acid mod which needs to be flashed via cwm. If this helps please hit the thanks button.

I don;t know how you find it, but I used this for a while then uninstalled as was draining my battery too quickly. Walkman standalone fine, but not with the mod. However Beats worked well with Walkman.
In my mind there is currently no doubt which kernel has the best wolfson mod: neak. It's a combination of scoobydoo and another mod whose name escapes me.
Perhaps its bass frequency tuning will remedy some of your issues. The mids are also more pronounced when using dac direct in my opinion.
All these software mods never impressed me, no offense to anyone.

Would you please comment on the ability to control the headphone amplifier and the Media Volume independently like could be performed on the SGS with Voodoo Sound? I don't have a Note 2 yet--- one of my main purchasing decisions is based on the ability to use Scoobydoo/STweaks to control the headphone amplifier volume independently. Thanks in advance.

Yes, sort of, in neak there is a volume hack similar to the one in voodoo, which makes you able to override the channel volume, so that the end result is about the same as with voodoo.
Your situation sounds very much like mine, I came from the sgs and took a leap of faith hoping that some voodoo mod would arise at some point, and it did! :thumbup:

Interesting, I suppose I will have to see how development for the Verizon variant goes. Hopefully, I will be able to find a way to get Scooby/STweaks working like Voodoo. It is hard to try until I get the device, but my upgrade is at the end of the week!

In case anybody cares, Perseus kernel with Stweaks allows to independently control headphone amplifier volume and media volume. It is essentially the same features as Voodoo, but without the Voodoo app. It is under the Audio section of Stweaks.
Awesome!
ok i got a pair f beats solo and they are overwellmed if i turn up the volume all the way up ... and i was able to do that by frst rooting my device and flashing UNEAK kernel it comes with wolfson audio and just go to play store and download uNEAK engine app and you will have close to pc sound out of your note 2 just make sure your headphones can handle the power your phone will put out .. like i said i got a pair of solos that cant keep up .. its time to upgrade my headphones ... power amp player is a good player too alot of otions but love the MUSIC SQUARE FEATURE ON STOCK PLAYER
Hi all.
Need some advice? I love PlayerPro and the stock Samsung music player but am wondering what Audio Mod is best for Clear Natural Sound?? I am not to bothered about base I just want clear audio, I play most music in my car - 9 speaker surround
I use Redpill kernel but not sure whether to leave as stock mod and use different kernel or use a sound MOD ie> Sony clearsound or bravia sound or ACID etc or switch kernel?
Also is it best to use mp3 or Ogg etc?
Thanks

Use JET AUDIO for playback and sony bravia is fine. Kernel does not matters, it just boost sounds. For clarity, player is major issue.

I wouldn't recommend using any software mod if you're looking for clear and unprocessed sound, stick to the wolfson mods in custom kernels. They are more or less identical and do the same thing, basically a DAC upgrade.
