A Plea to all Devs (have a Non-BEATS audio version of your ROMS)

All Devs I beg and plead with you to either have a Non-BEATS audio version of your ROMS or to have it as an optional add-on. I ask this because BEATS audio makes changes to all music you play and I for one along with many others do not like the changes it makes. It seems that every single new version of ROM that comes out has this built in. I have looked high and low and cannot find a way to remove it form the .zip file or even how to remove it after it is installed.
I deeply respect all the work that you do and am very thankful for everything you guys are doing to make our phones better. I understand many people are asking to have BEATS audio added and you are in turn abiding the request.
If anyone wants to know my reasons for not wanting BEATS audio I will be happy to fill you in or you can look at my post history.
One last Thank you to all the Devs for all your hard work and also thank you for even considering my plea, whether or not you are able to fulfill it.
Beats Audio is cool for people who swear by Skull Candy, I guess. Other than that... I'd rather have it optional please!
While everyone has their opinions, and yours is definitely valid, remember that these developers are developing roms based on what they want to make. If they want to put Beats in, its their choice.
Though I think it would be nice if someone would make the files/modifications needed to disable beats ourselves, its out of my knowledge to do so but that would be the proper thing to do rather than expecting developers to change their roms.

Master & Slave has that capability with his new rom paradox paradise. In order for you to activate beats audio, you need to use dsp manager. So there you go. Gotta love options
"Cocaine Is One Hell Of A Drug" You Know I Keep That White Girl
Team Kang probably won't incorporate Beats into their ROMs since they keep it close to stock but with common sense extras that appeal to everyone. As long as Juggernaut and its future releases are Beats-free, I don't see the need to flash anything else for myself.
And yes, Beats are for people with Skullcandy and lower tier phones/IEMs. I'm happy with my Panasonic HJE900K with Poweramp producing sound the way it should be.
What I don't get is why would you flash beats when volume + has beats emulation in it. It's not even all that great. Just really too much bass.

Beats Audio sounds terrible.
I agree. I flashed the zip without making a nandroid and now I'm wishing there was a zip to remove it. The only noticeable thing it does is increases the bass too much. I like bass but not to this level. Whenever I plug my phone into my car the bass is just overwhelming to the point where the treble is just muffled. Besides our sound card, if you can call it that, is already good as it is. In some sense its better than my 2022 MBP's output with the stock player.
I take it, Beats audio doesn't have the ability (in a system setting somewhere) to disable it? So you can go back to normal?
Download and run Darkside Digital Warfare. It does not have any of that extraneous crap baked into it. It will also be one of the best ROM's you will ever run as far as snappiness and battery life.
I have it running via dsp manager so u can enable and disable

So far it is my favorite ROM. I put this plea out because I still love trying out new ROMS from time to time and playing music from my device at work and in my car is a MUST HAVE, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT feature. And Beats Auido ruins that for me. If only one ROM ends out not having Beats then that limits me to just one viable choice. As other have replied, I am not the only one that thinks this way.
But yes, thank you for the recommendation of Darkside, I have a Nandroid backup for that ROM that I will go back to if I don't find another Daily.
Not sure if SlickMod 3.4 has Beats but DSP Manager wasn't in the base install. Simply installing DSP Manager from the market doesn't work. I to like clean sound and found a workaround with Root Toolbox Pro which has the option to install Cyanogen's DSP Manager, apparently at the system level. The quality coming thru a Bluetooth FM transmitter to my car stereo is as clean as a CD played directly from the player.
A golden app worth mega bucks would be one that would raise and lower the volume depending on surrounding noise. A pink noise generator to set the eq for varied conditions. Hi-end Alpine car stereos started having that option in the mid 80's. The SGS2 has the hardware needed.
I found that if the CPU Freq was set low when first starting an audio file, DSP Manager would crash when trying to change a setting and I would have to reboot.

Why not just delete/disable the files that are required to make it work. Not the cleanest way to do things, but probably would kill the software from running, thus giving you what you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440986
Scroll this page. There is one post with links. But instead of relying on a zip flash file, open up these files. Look inside specifically at what lib files or apk file in system are running and just delete them yourself.
Again, not the cleanest method of doing things. Or look for the references in build.prop. Most developers will annotate the build.prop file to specifically show some instances for the enhanced audio. Just simply try a quick edit and reboot to see that the audio is back to stock sound. Just a thought
Again, and I repeat this...Nandroid backup first. I don't need any blame on what I made you do

[HELP] need tester for modified megabassbeats

you might have know about megabassbeats. it's a mod to improve our sound quality created by dehumanized. in these past several days, I analized the files inside it and do several experiment to improve this mod. at first attempt, I found that we can modify the equalizer setting in eqfilter.txt. the result of this experiment could be found easily on themes and app section.
however, the result doesn't really satisfy me. I've made more modification for myself to improve this mod. even if this mod is based on beatbass, I've found that several files is missing from the file list. I've added those file into my latest work. I've also found that some of lib file inside this mod isn't loaded into system. by changing some configuration file, I've loaded those lib files and add several modification for sound effect improvement. for the last step, new framework files is added with more binary and lib files needed by system.
I need some tester before I release this mod to public. if anyone interested in this project, they can PM me. I'll wait till 9.00PM GMT+7 today.
i'm all set to test
Here we go.......
I'm ready!
PM to me that file.
I'll test it.

Issues so far: DSP Manager Equalizer graphic not working.
For me the sound is better, using equalizer Rock, Bass Bost Enabled, Slight.
That´s because I only listen to Metalcore
Will revert back to first Bass Beats and see if theres differences.
Stock ROM
Stock Kernel
rom: modified creed's rom 2.0
baseband: DXKL2
kernel: merruk kernel 2.0 pre-final release
player: poweramp pro (equalizer off) no effects
settings:
dps manger= compression on, bass slight, treble booster + studio room
installation complete
felt some improvements on bass and background music seems to pop out more (became clearer)
issues: dsp manager's preset graphics doesn't seem to change <--- minor prob and can totally be ignored because presets can still be changed and still have their effects
ps: placebo effect?? felt some improvements though maybe due to my crappy earphones

The megabassbeats is modify my earphone very very much.
Bass sound is bravo....
DSP Manager settings:

- Bass Boost: Extreme
- Equalize: Bass Booter

dsp graphic equalizer is not changed. that's normal. you can tap on the picture and set the graph as you want but the effect only comes when you select custom preset. you can set the eq to custom then you can play with the equalizer graph.

Camera quality improvement mods...

There used to be some camera quality improvement mods. Will those come back... are others working on this? I haven't been able to find any that would support 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. I read the last mod dev was banned...? Anyway thanks for any info!

What is the best audio mod?

There's a huge amount of different options. But, I was wondering if anyone has tried most of them. I'm looking to increase the quality of the sound rather than simply boost volume. What would be best for this? Thank you in advance for the help!
No idea ... but here is the best place to ask and discuss

Low Sound Problem (Speakers ,Earpiece , AUX)

Hey ,Guys
Although this phone have many good features and specs for its size and price , the low sound problem still one of worst problems .
I've tried many many sound mods ( nearly all mods in the mods and tweaks section) but any of them either didn't work or caused a bootloop)
One of the methods I tried is to modify (mixer_bathes) in the root of the system by changing the values of RX1 and RX2 . For my surprise ,it worked and the earpiece sound became noticeably louder and the speaker became slightly louder .
Unfortunately ,this method worked only on rooted ZUI or deodexed only .
I've tried different custom roms (AEX ,AICP ,Pixel Experience ,Jaguar , Bootleggers -Which I use currently- ) but any of them didn't work with that method .
SO , guys Does anyone knows what to do about that ? I really don't care that much about the speakers loudness but my problem is with the earpiece which makes calls very bad experience.

manually increase volume -
1. Go to *root* > vendor > etc
2. Open mixer_paths_tasha.xml in editor.
3. To increase speaker volume -
Find "RX7 DIGITAL VOLUME" and change it's value from 84 to 87
4 to increase earpiece volume -
Find "RX0 DIGITAL VOLUME" and change it's value from 84 to 100
5.For headphones volume -
Find HPHL and HPHR and change their values from 12 to 15.
FYI mixer_paths_tasha.xml location differ in every rom but u will find it under etc folder it may be
"root/system/etc/" or "root/sys/etc"
