I noticed that their is going to be a OTA update for ICS and Sense 3.6 for the amaze. I was wondering is their anyway you can install beats audio on the phone without a custom rom? I think i seen some desire and incredible 2 users doing it but the tread is closed so I couldn't post their. I also seen an inspire user flash it onto his phone on youtube.

You can't. Beats requires specialized libraries that need to be written to the system partition. You don't have access to that unless you're rooted.

Well I am rooted? So what would i need to do. Just curious.
Isn't Beats Audio just another equalizer preset, or does it go beyond that to somehow affect sound in a way the equalizer--or other music player apps for that matter--cannot?
I thought beats was a chip or something lol

I don't know the details of how Beats Audio works, but I have found that the audio experience using Beats has been better than any of the presets on PowerAmp. I realize that you can set custom EQ settings in PowerAmp but that is a major pain in the ass to do.
The only problem I've been having with Beats in QS 3.0.0 is that the headphone buttons don't work properly. I can pause only. Prev/Next track by long press or by double or triple press results in my phone redialing the last number dialed. Don't know if that's a Beats thing or a ROM thing.

Why does almost every rom include this app? I dont see what is so great about it. To me it is just taking up RAM.
Am I missing something?
You can just remove it if you don't want it. To my knowledge, it is an equalizer for your phones speaker and earpiece. You can change it to how you want..but if you don't want it, just remove it. No need to get all feisty ;p

If used correctly you can dramatically improve sound quality with speaker headsets and bluetooth

Increases functionality and customization of your sound output on your phone's 4 different output methods (earpiece, speaker, BT, and headphone jack I believe as well)
Every time I opened it it would force close, so I removed it.

because there's a serious low volume issue on the 3D
we need everything possible to try to make the sound louder
I like the EQ, it comes in handy with apps like tune in and other apps where a little sound boost is needed.

If you already have an equalizer or other volume increasing app, it will conflict with dsp manager and vice versa. You can only have one. If you don't have anything conflicting with it like that and want to try it, maybe someone can help you get the apk to install manually. It really does make things sound great. Though I liked Equalizer from the market better.

apparently on some devices it's hardware, some it's software. I got it on my sensation which didn't have it before.
i did try to install the beats music apk, it force closed. beats is a big gimmick. all the htc phones that have beats just have a pre-built equalizer that kicks in when u plug in a pair of beats.
Its gimmicky for sure, but HTC sure paid a hell of a lot for the brand. Maybe that's why they can't get android updates out.

Yeah but I am unable to replicate those audio levels therefore it does make a difference. I like that a professional was able to bottle up a sound quality and deliver it to my alcoholic ears. Maybe it would sound even better with quality hardware but I'll take what I can get.

Yes it does improve the quality quite a bit imo, I own beats headphones and have tested this feature far too much (with and without beats headphones) on my dhd when we were porting it to Coredroid. Unfortunately, I was too busy with my Flyer at the time so I have no idea how it was done. I do still have the files we were messing with though so I can at least figure out how hard the job would be..
Maybe Lee knows but he seems to be pretty busy already, I'll ask Sergio or Capy about it when I get a chance. Would be nice to have it on these tablets

I would love some audio enhancement on the Flyer. I would prefer standalone i.e. Cyanogen DSP vs. one that forces you to use a particular player i.e. PowerAmp.
I agree it would be cool to get this. Not only in the Music app but in the video 1 too if possible. IMO it sounds nice + the beats notification looks awesome
It is going to be a lot harder to get it on the Flyer than phones like Sensation and Evo 3D. The reason is that framework was already built into those phones and it was a just a manner of tweaking the framework for the Beats options to show and work. I have checked the Flyer music framework and none of the Beats stuff is there hidden. So, I am not saying it is impossible but it would take a ton of work.
you can install the Cyanogen DSP Manager / Equalizer from this link. tested and working on rooted GB roms for me.

Hi
Works perfect on my Flyer, thanks 4 sharing.
I noticed the latest version of Google Music will actually integrate with DSP manager if you have it installed. It shows up in the Music settings menu.

There's been talk in a lot of different device forums about DSPManager having no function or constantly force closing. The discussion here will be for sense 3.6/4.0 and ICS 4.0.3
I started a thread HERE on how to get DSPManagers' various functions to work properly but my previous method did not work for sense 3.6 or sense 4.0. Any development or ideas are more than welcome in this thread. I have made progress to a certain point but my inexperience makes it hard for me to pinpoint the cause of certain issues such as the app force closing.
Update 5/6/12
-No app force close selecting any enhancement
-All enhancements function properly
-Only got DSP v1.0 working(not V2)...for now
WARNING - This process will disable all other HTC audio effects (beats, srs, etc.) Other market app equalizers and sound enhancement software also may conflict with DSP so keep that in mind.
Awesome work. Can't wait to install and test.
Tested on MeanROM ICS 0.9. Caused the Music app to not be able to play music (said that the files were not supported). Had to dirty flash ROM to fix.

With me, every song I selected did not work. I went into my library and selected different songs and kept getting the file type not supported error (which I normally do not get and did not get after reflashing the ROM).

I'm running cleanrom which doesn't have beats. I warned of other eq's hampering dsp's ability to function properly. I've seen beats work along side dsp but I would attempt to disable any beats audio stuff first then try dsp.

I've confirmed what you have said about beats and dsp. You must've been talking about using headphones which indeed will cause that error of not playing a file. I use Bluetooth devices so I'm fortunate to not have that issue. Try going into Apps>All and disable Music Enhancer. See if that works.
EDIT - nevermind I didn't have my headphones powered on everything worked fine, you should just try to reflash the Rom then the zip.

I know I'm the only one replying, but I really want DSP to work with Beats like it does on GB. So, I installed MeanROM 1.0 then flashed the zip. Using headphones, press play on song and get the unsupported file error. Select HTC Enhancer, song plays, then select Beats and the song plays, but DSP changes do not make any change to the sound. The app loads and changes can be made, but the sound does not change tone at all. When I try to play the next song, I get the unsupported file type error again and have to go through the above steps.

Your wish is granted my friend. Aamikam released v1.0 of MikVirgin. He was the first dev that I know of to get beats over bluetooth. The changlog states he has working DSPv2 as well!! I'm downloading it now I suggest you try it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654131
Anyone know if there has been any progress on getting DSP v2 for Sense 3.6 and 4 working?
thanks.. i'm going to try it..
DSPManager2
I experimented and come up with something that works for me. I have evo 3d s-off running viper 3d, it is sense 4.1
I just keep the sound enhancer on beats audio and do my EQ adjusting with DSP manager 2
You can try it and see. Just make a backup before flash!
DSP Manger
You may have to put sound enhancer on no effect for dsp manager2 to work on some roms.
Wow.
I really appreaciate this update. I didn't want to move out from CM by this.
Now I'm running ICS on Inspire4G using Trickdroid, this is the only component that was missing to be happy again!

Thank you! This works great on Mobster Rom HD, 3.6 Sense, but for some reason, I can't mess with the 10hz in the EQ. That happened on my OV as well in ICS.
No matter what ICS VM leak ROM I install, DSP Manager and Equalizer apps from the market do not work (even on the ROMs with DSP built in). The app runs, but the sound does not change when I change settings. On GB ROMs, the sound changes were dramatic, but on ICS, nothing.
On that note, when I enable or disable Beats, I hear an electronic popping sound (like plugging in a guitar with the amp already on), but the sound does not change. Again, on GB, the sound would change markedly between enabling or disabling Beats.
I did find a thread from the Sensation Q&A with a similar problem, but no viable solutions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457179
This thread also has attempts at fixes, but they do not seem to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494099&page=5
Anyone else experiencing this and/or anyone have any fixes? ICS sounds a lot better than GB by default, but I still like to adjust things myself.

If I am not mistaken you can only have dsp or beats installed. I know on cm9-DevilToast-0.6.1-shooteru dsp works and its system wide. Currently running that ROM now so I know it works.

Good morning All,
I am having trouble with my HTC Amage 4G (Ruby) not maintaining the audio effects/enhancements. As with many others I do have a very touchy 3.5mm headphone jack (although it is not as bad as the 1st Ruby I had..now on the 2nd unit) which makes this issue even more of a PITA. Please see below for more information:
PHONE INFO:
HTC Ruby
Super CID/Juopunutbear S-OFF
Energy ICS ROM (08/06/2012)...{Android 4.03; HTC Sense 3.6}
stock Kernel
HTC music player (version 3.5.2212262667.305764)
HTC music enhancer (version 1.0.2211142240.253498)
DSP manager (version 2.0)
My Question: (and yes I did search the forum for sound enhancement issues).
Is there any way to force the sound enhancement settings to either hold the last known setting or even default to a particular enhancement (it defaults to no effects right now) for the HTC music player?
I have tried a couple different music player apps, and so far the HTC music player has the best mix of features for my application, but by no means does that mean that I am locked in to using it (will be trying Apollo player today), if there is something better.
Everytime there is even the slightest movement on my headphone jack, I either lose one speaker, or it stops the music player altogether, when this happens it knocks the settings back to "no effects". This is a pain in the a$$ to say the least. Basically if the music stops, I have to go back in and re-set the desired enhancement.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated, TIA.

Dunno about keeping the settings, but I do believe HTC shipped faulty jacks. Unsure if the replacements help or not.
