[Q] Music player equalizer? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This has been asked before, just wanted to see if anything new has been found.
Anybody know anything about an equalizer that will work with the built in Music player? The hero is meant to be a smartphone, yet it doesn't have even a basic feature like an equalizer. My old Sony Ericsson phone sounded perfect through my headphones, Android however isn't as good.
Anybody?
EDIT: Think I've found something in this post by Rones, I'm not sure if I'm imagining it though. Sounds good to me!

It doesn't work with ICS, and only works on AOSP (I.E CM7 & Miui, I cannot stress this enough. Don't try it on ICS roms or Samsung based GB roms because it will not work) Gingerbread roms. I've attached it to this post in the event you wish to downgrade (assuming you're currently running an ICS rom) to one of these roms in order to use the app.
kinda OT but
seems some video files arent supported under PA...
any suggestions on a good video player? or codecs sources at that?

[Q] BT-audio / No AVRCP 1.3 support?

Hi Guys!
Is it right, that the Xperia S doesn't support AVRCP 1.3?
I don't have the XS yet, so I can't test it myself.
I wanna use it in connection with Bluetooth Audio on my RCD510 (VW). But having ID3 / Title Data on Radio Display only works with AVRCP 1.3 profile.
I did also read something about problems according Sony MW 600 bluetooth headset, because 1.3 isn't supported.
If it's not in yet, I think it also doesn't come with ICS, because Arc S also didn't get it.
cheers!

That's so stupid crazy from Sony .. they offer accessories with features, that still can't be (full range) used with their own flagship phone ...
Don't blame Sony, it's ANDROID, blame google for that
Google should include the AVCRP support in Android (I have tested my MW600 on my dad's Galaxy Nexus to see wether it supports AVRCP 1.3 & guess what NO....)
1.3 support
This is important to me as well. I like to stream in my car but want to see the data on the radio. Many android phones can do this. Is there a work around without having to root the device?
I have tried it with my Sony deck and the track titles do not send over. You can, however, still use the controls to change songs, pause, etc...

That's a custom ROM not stock. Stock will not have this feature since its missing from Google.
What's stock didn't stop HTC changing the Gingerbread Bluetooth stack.... for the worse but they did change it.
if i remember correctly latest patches in CM7/CM9 have added AVRCP 1.3 support...
this is framework related right?

I could see the song names on my MBW600 when I was using the builti-n music app of my Galaxy S2; not sure if it's only after I updated to ICS. Note that my other app, Double Twist, didn't do this.

Any way to get 1.3 or 1.4 or working now? ICS update doesnt support it either.
I have the Xperia Mini (SK17a) running stock FW, with Android 2.3.4 (v 4.0.2.A.0.62 , kernel 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser) , and it works fine with my car headunit, which can remote control and also show music ID tags via bluetooth. I´m not sure if it is AVRCP 1.3 support or if there is any tricky inside it.
Does anyone know?
I saw that Xperia S doesn´t support that yesterday and came here to search, when I found this thread.
Could it be possible to use or hack down SK17a somehow to port into Xperia S for example?
Does anyone know if Xperia Ion (LT28i) doesn´t support as well? As I saw some posts saying it is google/android limitation, but not sure with this fact of Xperia Mini be able to support.
is there a way that we can all email google and demand they put it in? Its not even supported in jelly bean.

Whats the best rom for sound? I had Titan and nothing sounds the same...

I had a rom called Titan v2 and it sounded unbelievable. I guess it died out because I havent been able to find a new version.
For all my music lovers what is the best sounding stable rom out there? I miss the way titan used to bump in my car.

I was using ogminilla's but it wouldnt let me answer calls... The only bug with that rom. Maybe try out solid senless Rom.
For the DSP manager:
DO NOT enable bass enhancer or it will distort the music through your stereo. You could try it, but it usually only works on headphones.
Then for the equalizer setting:
Set the first column to 8, the second column to 8 1/2, the 3rd column to 3, the 4th at 0, the 5th at 1 1/2, and the 6th at 3.
Be sure to enable loudness compensation to strongest.
Leave the other settings unchecked
Hope this helps!

Or does anyone still have the last titan hd odexed v2 rom? Can't believe I erased it, figured its so old it would be obsolete. Had great sound and great camera and stable. Any old titan users out there?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cool ICS for CDMA & GSM. The current version has full working beats, including the notifications and system settings, and the Sony xloud mod all baked in. I have the same mods with MeanROM ICS 2.6 using this installation procedure and the sound is great.

It looks like this thread has a working download, but I'm not sure why you would want a GB ROM based on the 2.08 build when the Cool ICS ROM has been updated to the latest Sprint ICS build and has very good audio and camera. Up to you.

It just sounded so good, right out of the box. I would just pull up anywhere, put on pandora, and have an instant block party.
I installed cool rom and it sounds very loud but just not as good/full. I havent been able to find any settings to tweak, i guess i have to download the dsp manager.
As for the link above, the only thing on that ftp is something called olympus trinity gamer. Not sure what this is and can't find any info on it. Might try flashing it just to see how it sounds right off the bat.

Some people have commented that the audio from the ICS ROM's even with all the mods installed is not as good as it was on the GB ROM's.
I flashed the Titan ROM out of curiosity and it seems to have the sound mods you are looking for, but is mostly stock except for the games. Apparently the dev was kicked off of XDA for some drama he created, and if you check the comments from the installation script you will see his comment on XDA.
The original thread for the ROM is still on XDA, but the download link is broken.

Yes I just flashed that gamer one and it sounds fantastic. I flashed right after the cool ics and there is no comparison. Maybe its because im testing on pandora (I have the premium version which has better sound) and not the music player, maybe because its not ics idk.
I read about the drama and people saying he wasnt a developer but more of a 'remixer'. Whatever he was he made that **** sound sick so you gota give him credit for that at least.
Maybe other developers can adopt what he did for sound cuz i do like other features of ics. But like you said maybe its just that gb sounds better than ics and its just that simple. dunno, Im gona stick with this one for now because im really into music.

The beats mods aren't going to help Pandora at all. You need to use DSP Manager, MusicFX, Volume+ or something similar with that app, and people have had mixed results with those equalizers on ICS. If the Titan ROM has DSP Manager built-in that's probably making the difference for Pandora.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for and are happy with it, even if it is GB.

AudioFX is another equalizer similar to DSP Manager and Volume+. It works pretty well with Google Play Music but I haven't tried it with Pandora.
You should be able to uninstall the games you don't want with Titanium Backup, even if they are installed as systems apps.

[Q] MP3 Playback - Bug!??

Hey guys
i have a Problem with the Playback from some mp3's.
So i open the file with the standard player, it say's: "This type of Audiofile can't be played"...
But if i open the Audiofile over the "Root Explorer", it will be played with this player.
What is it?
Any other App from the Store make exactly the same bug...
The exactly same file's was played on ICS without any failure... but Jelly Bean??
In hopes that the new firmware (1.14.401.18) will fix the problem, i had flash the Revolution HD 4.0 Rom but this is not the case...
What can i do?
It is not acceptable! Such problems were among the old Windows Mobile 6 times...
PS: The Custom Rom is NOT the Problem. I have this Bug since i unpacked the One x+...
I have no problem with music (FLAC or MP3) at all, so it must be a problem on your side (ROM, other installations, MP3 or anything)... Not a general HOX+ problem...

The MX Player, rather a Video Player, is able to play the MP3's. All now, without issues..

I have over 300 MP3 files and no problem playing them with the stock HTC player.
Many players will only work with standard bit rates and ID3 tags. If any are not using the proper standard it might fail to play.
The reason other players are working is most likely they are ignoring the bad data or will play nonstandard bit rates.

What sound equalizer app do you use ?

As is commonly known, at lower volumes the sound on the G pad is pretty dark and murky.
This can be improved easily by using an equalizer app and turning down the bass/lower frequencies, and turning up the higher frequencies.
I've tried a few different apps, some work, some don't.
Currently I'm using the "Music equalizer" app, which is allright but turns itself off after 30 minutes, so I'm looking for something better.
What apps have you found that work well with MX player?
(I know sound improves in other ROM's but I want to stay rooted stock, so custom ROM's are not an option right now)
Same here.
Today I installed DSP manager (from cyanogenmod).
Nice and exactly what I want, except that it doesn't work at all.
Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk
I use PowerAmp music player. It has a great DSP but I don't know if it works system-wide and I haven't really tried to find out because I haven't really though about it.
Upgrade to CM11, it will change your tab, especially concerning the sound..
Poweramp seems to be a music player rater than a generic equalizer.
About CM, have I mentioned in my start post that I want to stay stock, or did I forget to say that?

Greetings..
I know you want to stay stock but...
I was just reading this thread and I have CM-11 installed and I thought.. why not turn on Netflix and the DSP (which I was not using) and see if the DSP Mgr. does make a difference..
It Does.. A Big Difference if you adjust the EQ manually.. So at least you know you have an option should your situation become unbearable.
I know there is that option so I have considered that. Not having Qremote is not an option at this moment, so I'm not going there.
As for equalizers, I've found another one that works, but it also turns off after 30 minutes.
I have the impression that this is not so much a funcionalty, but a limitation within android.
Does anyone know if all equalizer apps will turn off after 30 minutes?
Does any app exist that I can use that doesn't turn itself off?

If you are rooted you could try AlsaMixer. It's kinda a carry over from Linux. Bear in mind that it had a major overhaul some time ago. It has so many settings for each connectin you won't believe it. Unfortunately I have no idea how to use it after the overhaul as everything is classified pretty cryptic, but I believe I saw something about 5 different EQ bands. AlsaMixer is system wide btw. The EQ is just one of many variables you can set. However finding a tutorial is imminent, if you ask me. Good luck.

I had a look at it, but that's probably going to take me days to figure out since I know nothing about programming..
I'm still wondering about DSP manager on stock in combination with MX player, does anyone have that working?

I'm not certain of what I'm saying right now. But since MX Player is capable of using both software and hardware for both sound and video I suspect it may use it's own settings.. I don't know. I'm basing it on ZPlayer in the Market which I used for a long time, that one had it's own EQ and such and the dev said that the users shouldn't be using any 3rd party EQ's because it wouldn't have any effect.. May be some of the same stuff going on with MX Player since it offers all these different decoders.. Sorry, I'm not going back to stock to test this. Anything CM/AOSP related, I'll gladly check out for you. :/
I'm just wondering; DSP manager does not seem to have any effect on the sound of any apps here.
As for MX player (which is the only app I really care about for an equalizer to work with),
some equalizer apps work with it and some don't.
The few that I found that work all quit after 30 minutes, probably that's a limitation in android?
I'm starting to think harder about Mahdi rom, it sure looks nice but I just can't part yet from Qremote.

Greetings..
I know you want to stay stock but...
I was just reading this thread and I have CM-11 installed and I thought.. why not turn on Netflix and the DSP (which I was not using) and see if the DSP Mgr. does make a difference..
It Does.. A Big Difference if you adjust the EQ manually.. So at least you know you have an option should your situation become unbearable.

Rooted users can use viper. It is the best system wide system modulator out there. It can be found almost anywhere on these forums. If you need a link, pm me and i'll send you one.

I never understood the "pm me and I'll send you the link" attitude.
Anyway .. I agree with Charlie: it is a very good sound enhancer utility.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
Viper4androidFX works,
it works with MX player and it keeps working after 30 minutes.
I believed for a moment that this was the solution for optimizing the sound on the G pad,
however viper seems to have an unwanted effect on videoprocessing;
while streaming HD content over MX player there is a slight stutter in the video that immediately disappears when I turn viper off.
That makes useless for me really.
I am thinking about saying goodbye to the Qremote app and flashing Mahdi.

The reason is that I prefer privacy on these boards. That's all
