Hey guys,
I know there are quite a few options available to me, but I'm looking for a ROM that stands out above the others.
I personally prefer a stock looking ROM, but great audio quality is what I'm really looking for. And by great audio quality I don't mean "this has Beats, it's dank!" I've learned that just because a ROM has Beats doesn't mean it won't sound terrible.
It would be nice if it interacted well with DSP manager. I switched from AndroTECH Sense 3.5 (which had fantastic sound quality, but ran kinda chunky and had some major buggage) to Warm 3.5 (which had a really slick UI but not as good audio quality).
I'm pretty much looking for the best of both worlds, preferably something that looks stock. Working 3D would make me quite happy, and 4G is moot because I don't even have it where I live.
Has anyone flashed enough ROMs and experimented? How is InfectedROM Eternity?
As for kernels, Ziggy's kernel from last year has been the best performing for me, and has good audio quality. I honestly didn't know the difference in audio quality when I flashed Chad's Anthrax v9. I have a nice set of Bose earbuds and I'd like to say I'm a bit of an audiophile. I'm looking to get a powerful sound from my phone (which doubles as my mp3 player in earbuds and in my car) but not have to worry about distortion and clipping.
Thanks for your help guys.
Have you tried using an alternative music player? The stock sense 3.0 and 3.5 music players are garbage IMO. You should try PowerAMP. It even comes with a decent equalizer.
I've tried many 3.5 roms and miks runny is by far the best. It's my daily driver right now. As for kernel I'm using chads rls9 and it works flawlessly! So miks 3.5 and chads rls9 together are a perfect combo!

I actually run PowerAMP, but DSP Manager gave a great app even better sound quality when set up right, but audio quality relies largely on the kernel/ROM combo.

Currently I have I9100XXMS2 JB4.1.2 Android Baltic version installed on my phone (I9100). Audio quality (compared to CM10.1) is terrible on this kernel. I would like to ask if it is possible to install custom(better) kernel for this stock android JB. Also, if it is possible, maybe you can recommend kernel, which is, you think, the best when it comes listening to music.
There isn't one. The SQ on the SGS2 is limited by the ****ty Yamaha DAC. The best you can do is bump the volume up using a Siyah based kernel which gives the music more 'fullness', through headphones at least.

I am talking about rom/kernel issues, not hardware issues. When I had cm10.1 installed, music was fine, equalizers worked great, they improved quality of music very well. Now even equalizers are not able to make sure that the sound is the same or better as it was by using cm10.1.
Xplay off playstore is my choice of player. Good for quality of sound used with dori or siyah just make it even better. Loud and clear.

I've never noticed any difference whatsoever with various kernels & roms. A few music apps seem to have very slightly different sound signatures/qualities, but the variances are very slight (and may well even be imaginary). I think the differences people hear are down to changes in their headphones/earphones (and the cables, particularly in the case of IEM's) over time or even changes to their ears (wax, possibly other factors).
Having said that, I used Poweramp for 9 mths, then switched to Neutron for the last 3 mths I used my SGS2 as a music player (I don't anymore). I thought Neutron had a slightly 'cleaner' sound through 5 different IEM's, but as I said, that might have been my imagination/what I was wanting to hear.

I seem to be having incredulous difficulty getting AC!D Audio to work on any ROM I throw at it, so I'm done searching and instead resorting to reaching out to the community specifically. Does anybody know of any sound mods that work well with AOSP JB ROMs? The sound quality is just absolutely terrible, but I want to keep the AOSP look and feel. Touchwiz or ShoStock3 seems to have the best audio drivers for my taste, but is there some way to modify the AOSP audio quality? I've tried flashing Siyah's kernel to boost the headphone's gain but even then the quality is just awful. I've tried PlayerPro, PowerAmp, nothing seems to compare to ShoStock3's audio quality. This is a big deal, as music is my life and it would be much appreciated if anyone could relate/help.
check
did you check your speakers ? if they are working fine you may go to shostock rom thread and ask if audio drivers can be ported or individually uploaded or you may try xperia multie themed rom i use it and its completely fast and customisable and every thing works with no lag or audio issue

I have been playing with various roms for s2, but the difference in sound quality found on stock is far more superior than the CM based roms.
specially in headphones. 7.1 preset equalizer setting works best on stock roms.
is it due to libs? or some other reason?
had any one faced the same difference?

So far, I am experiencing the exact opposite. The sound quality on Custom ROMs are way better. Check out Pimp My ROM, its a app that tunes everything on your phone including sound quality to the max.

You're both imagining it.
Hey guys I have a few questions in my mind that I would like to ask. Firstly what has been disturbing me is that AC!D Incredible bass is not working on CM or any AOSP ROM. I find it really sad because this has brought me the best sound experience ever with any 4.3 ROM with Boeffla kernel flashed.
The sound experience V4A brings me in CM is far less good than what I had experienced with V 4.3 Android ROM (Boeffla Kernel Flash) + AC!D Incredible Bass. So, right now I am finding it so hard to stay in a ROM, CM and AOSP have the performance I need but the music experience is less good in my Beats Earphone whereas the stock performance is so-so and the Music is simply "heavens".
.The problem I am facing is that when I flash the AC!D Incredible Bass in CM, no audio file is playable. It starts you cannot hear any sound and it automatically stops/pauses. This is really frustrating I've tried tons and tons of ROMs and tons of combinations. I really hope I can find a ROM perfect at my taste and needs.
Thank you,
Shiw
