Alright, fairly new X10 user here, but I have an important question:
Should we be really installing the xloud enhancement on our phones?
The Bravia enhancement, for example, is a purely software solution - a localized contrast/color enhancement to make pictures and videos look better.
Xloud, on the other hand, increases power output to the external speakers, a hardware effect that can have very strong negative effects - ie. blown out external speakers in short order. It's also meant for a phone with different hardware specifications, the Arc.
We should w8 untill a dev take a look into it and solve Its issues then it will worth it.

As the OP correctly pointed out, it's not something a developer can "solve".
There is no issue with xLoud itself, it's just not for the X10.
I tried it, it works but the sound output is awful and I can almost feel my speakers scream "STOP THIS!!!!"
Maybe it could be altered but I doubt it's worth it and I wouldn't use it for prolonged period anyway.
It's another thing to mess with software and another thing to mess with hardware.
has everyone forgotten cant dsp manager? its a much safer and controlled way to increase volume...

Thanks for your valuable info.. I will try DSP manager
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blow the speaker !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man....the xloud is not that POWER........plus....the x10 speaker is so small and strong......
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
x Loud kills the x10's speaker.
It is without a doubt that x10 does in fact kilsl the speaker on your phone. The xLoud was not intended for the x10 and shouldn't be used in my opinion. I have confirmed with several people in regards to this matter and all of which agree that xloud will damage your x10's speaker.
In my opinion, you don't need this feature. And like most post here, "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK." I learned my lesson having my speaker blown.
To: Developer
Thank you very much for your contributions to the x10 community.
Where do you get DSP manager?
i think dsp manager is a better idea than xloud... quality vs quantity.

T.E.A.M ROM already has DSP manager pre-installed , WOLF V7 test update also has it to.
Btw, I love using xLoud because it enhances headset speakers during calls.I always have trouble with the in-call volume from the start.
No [10 chars]
Xloud is useless on the x10's internal speaker.
It's just not capable of playing low frequencies.
Hi guys,
Im kinda wondering if somebody can provide the beats audio files for the Xperia S? I had the zip package on my Arc installed with CWM.
Somebody got an easier way to install? The sound compared with an Xperia Arc lacks sound quality. Especially with my incar Bluetooth audio with amplifier i can hear the difference.
Many thanks

As we have no recovery yet. Unzip that zip you have for arc and move the files to the same system folders. Then set permissions RW- , R-- , R-- then reboot the phone. Warning, not sure if anyone has tried with Xperia S yet and not sure it's really worth it. I like the sound from the S clear bass works well

Thats true, the bass is very clear. But with incar audio the bass frequence feels and sounds very high. I will try to put the files but i would rather wait an easier way to root

Trust me, Beats Audio is crap and doesn't do much at all.
Try messing around with the equalizer settings in the Music app, and try the Virtual Surround modes too (I prefer 'Studio'), you should be able to customize the sound to your liking.
poweramp
Surely you'd be better off using poweramp? I cant hear much difference between beats and the bass & treble eq on poweramp...

Though the Beats Audio files only was "files"? HTC phones using Beats Audio has Beats chip inside, so how can only installing files make any difference besides that it eq the music?
Beats Audio files that you can install yourself is suppose to work together with the chip.
Or am I totally wrong?
Try out Google Music as your player, very nice EQ in it.

Beats Audio is just an EQ..........
The normal Sensation without the beats chip also can support beats audio with custom roms - more than sufficient proof its just an EQ.
To sum it up, it's an EQ that supposedly makes things sound better, although purists would disagree with it since it's an S-Shaped EQ.
Somebody just provide us the Beats Audio drivers , quick!
The Sony XS has an internal HPF, and an automatic eq for the most ""hard and difficult" frequencies (100-300hz).
The EQ of the player (400-16k hz) is a eq for noobs but it's very good
We don't need the beats audio optimization

My JBLs, Pioneer 600RMS subwoofer and my JVC carradio NEEDS beats audio!!!
So I installed the Beats Audio mod of bassini and predator today everything works finde included LeeDroid Tweaks.
But my problem is if I change the sound enhancer to Beats Audio it won't start playing my music.
My ROM is KingCobra 1.5. What could be the problem ?
Use SRS mate. Much better sound quality
Beats is **** IMHO, headphones and software

Have to agree here. Beats is placebo effect and is essentially just an EQ setting.

Indeed, if you set up EQ by yourself you will have better improvements then with beats.
And about headphones, there is much better cups for that price.
But HTC is owner of beats and he need all promotion he can get. If that means put some EQ and promote it as big sound enhancer, then let it be.
For rizzle. Beats sounds like ish, I don't know why ROM developers even include them. It sounds especially horrible over stereo bluetooth.
people....it doesn't matter what your opinions of beats are, you're almost starting to sound like apple haters
what he wants to use is his preference at the end of the day
the guy's asked a question on this ROM regarding his beats EQ not working...either answer his question or "politely" don't bother posting. For all you know after you provide him with the solution he thinks of it as **** anyways so just answer the question.

are you using v10 from his thread? and also didn't kingcobra include this in his ROM anyways?
Yes I'm using v10 and KingCobra doesn't include it so I installed via Aroma installer.
After giving a try to SRS I can say the quality is really better than normal. I just wanted to test Beats.
exactly...at the end of the day you should be the one to decide since its your phone

I feel the exact opposite, I happen to love beats over Bluetooth going to my alpine head unit with jl audio 12 w7, infinity kappa interior speakers 1000 watt jl audio amp, vs any other sound enhancers ie Dolby srs, pop, etc... I cant wait till we get a new kernel with beats to roll on my newts sence 4.0 Rom...

Don't think so on my creative WP-350, actually makes it better.
Today I realised that I had turned on SRS all the time, and sound is very good too.
Anyway, beats is image, not for me, but for my friends when they see phone with 3D AND with beats.
As far as sound enhancers go.....thx and dts are the best ones for me....too bad they aren't on phones yet

Hey Guys, I would like your Good Ears to be the Judge.
For you people who uses Walkman Mod by ThilinaC before, might have used AC!D audio for now.
Which Mod do you guys prefer? Which have good sound qualities in terms of Clarity, Distortion & Bass (How Noisy is it? Did it Suppresses Vocals? How Deep and Clear it is?)
Walkman Mod by ThilinaC 7.5
- Beats
- SRS
- Clear Bass+ (<- Clear Audio+?)
- Alsa
Ac!D Audio 4.0
- Xperia T Alsa
- Walkman Z dynamic Bass
- Beats
- Srs
- Dolby
- Clear Audio
- ???
I owns a Sony MDR-XB41EX Earphone. But you people out there, I'm sure owns some more better earphone than I did eg, Beats Tour, XBA-4
Guys I need your opinion, as I would like to rebase my Rom one LAST time. So that I can only stick to that particular sound Mod. Aduh, Rebasing a Rom is so Time Consuming ==
First I Thank people who gives Feedback, Second Thank me if I've solve your Woe too

Good Feedback guys, I'll try to seek Walkman V ports.
One More Thing, it might probably change your minds, Try Using N7 Player from Market and Compare it's sound quality with Walkman's

N7 Player Packs with 6 Band EQ and SRS effect, feel free to try it out, but don't get your head twisted :#

Reason: My HeadPhones are Build for BASS, so Bass need not to be high. Whereas others, Treble need to be high
Well for me beats is ****. I ahve tryed beats audio on sensation xl and it was ****. Sound depresed me. You actualy cant enjoy what teh artist has done. I tryed it with my philips in ear(o'neel series) and beats headphones out ear. Both were ****. Well my philips was slightly better.. Then i tryed teh same song on my ray with 7.5 by thilina. The saund was awesome - with my philips. And with beats it was the same as on sensation with my philips.(****). Acid audio is close to what the sensation xl was. Well it has good trebles but the bass is awful. I mean its way toomuch. People think that more bass is gud but its not. Even 7.5 walkman hasnt got good bass on high quality tracks by artists like Massive Attack. So i think that beats is just to be cool. Like iPhone is not a gud phone but if you have one you will be cool. And in Arcs themes and apps. There is Xperia V walkman full port by Till Kruise. Its teh best walkman for now. Its with clear bass 2 or +. But not with beats. And every track is balanced on it and Massive Attack's tracks are amazing with it.
At least give a survey on the topic
For me ACiD is the best since it can Xloud and Bravia Engine and all that to CM Based ROMs. And the sound is incredible. Way better than ThilinaC's Walkman in my opinion.
In my opinion the original Walkman on my Ray using only the new lib files etc from the newer phones is the only way to go. I have tried all the mods on here and for me the Acid 1 sounded really tinny and almost hollow sounding like there was no depth to the music whereas the original Walkman with just updated files sounds way more complete.
I like to keep it as close to stock as possible but with any updated files to improve what was already there and the sound quality coming from my Ray with my setup is way better than anything else I've tried but then this is only my opinion and everybody likes music a different way, I like clarity and treble and not the deep punchy bass but the style of music you listen to also affects it so it's really about what sounds best to you.
... Just make a backup in CWM and try various ones, that's what I did

Hi MrTapa
Who said beats is a _____?(Google it mate. Even David guetta said that he dj'ed with beats). if you have good ears you can notice the difference. Actually we didn't port beats from sensation xl. Our mod includes many good things other than beats. And last You can adjust the bass effect in our mod.

Not a bass fan, but its clear and enough. Treble is coming out great (that is what is important for me).
Have two Rays at home, one of my better half- so I have really compared with the stock player. You'll notice improvements on the speaker as well.
