I have not tried it but most likely it won't work on HC the audio libs and routing are different between GB and HC. I'd say of you want it get it fast. If I were HTC I'd be on these guys like stink after paying $300mil for the Beats licence.
As I understand it, this mod will give you some of the Beats effect.
Quote “hello i created a zip i pulled the beats audio libs and bin files from a rom with beats audio and also added the xloud files to make it sound with better quality and also in some cases sounds even louder i have beats audio headphones and i was able to tell the difference try it out and let me know thanks “
I don’t think you can get full Beats without a kernel rewrite.
Here is a quote from someone who did incorporate the beats driver into a kernel for another device
“ I run warm rom 3.5 build 116 with my kernel... My kernel compared to the rezound on a spectrum analyzer is way better than the stock rezound in frequency response, snl levels, frequency range, distortion, and power output. My rezound kernel per user feed back on xda makes the stock kernel sound like crap ”
I have full Beats Audio on my HTC Evo 4G Phone and it required rom software and a custom kernel.

Just read this seems as HTC has opened up beats audio
http://blog.htc.com/2012/03/new-apis/
HTC opened their APIs so people could write apps to use Sense and other HTC Libs on HTC devices, not so people could steal their libs to put on other devices.
HTC bought and owns the rights to the Beats audio libs.
so won't work with HC? ugh. i want beats for HC bc i sit in bed listening to music through my rezound and using my view lol

I got my 14 year old an evo 3d for Christmas and some beats headphones. What stable, everyday, no lag rom would you recommend with beats audio? Also does it make a difference with the beats audio in the rom? Thanks in advance.

ok i'm just gonna say this for every one. Beats audio is a gimmick. I'm going to make a post later why this is so. but here is one that's nice

To answer your question does it make difference yes and no.
Yes it does give more bass response, but at a cost it takes out the highs.
Here's an easy fix to get good sounding audio.
Don't use MP3'S They take out some of the upper frequencies of the audio file and it removes alot of the stereo effect. They just don't sound good.
But if you want more bass just get an eq app and boost the bass.

Gimmick? Yes, but it does make a BIG difference for this phone. If you have a kernel with the Rezound drivers, expect a significant difference.
All I have done to the phone is root it. I believe I will need a rom to flash before the kernel? Any suggestions on a rom? Thanks for the info.

ROMs
There's a list of ROMs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192661
From that list, I've tried Olympus Trinity 3D. It comes with Beats and a few 3D games.

I personally found better results and more audio customizations with DSP Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795233
But I don't have Beats headphones, so I don't know how the sound quality will differ.
If DSP Manager is enough that you don't need Beats, then CleanROM is fast and stable.

I personally like Airborne ROM. It's a nightly, so changes are being made often. It's fast, highly customizable, and Sense-less, using Launcher Pro as Home.

do Beats Audio In ear tour work on galaxy ace??i mean do they work on any devices or needs supported devices like Sensation XE??
thx for your help +1
its an headphone why would it not work??
Are you looking to me?? i have an chinese ARMY !! (-(-(-.-)-)-)
its not just the headphone, its proprietary thingy htc put into the device itself.
personally i think its just marketing trick, maybe just some equalizer implementation, renamed as that "beats audio".
u can just install any equalizer from market and get similar effect, and maybe even better than beats audio.
take a look into our own chinese zckpa stock rom, it had louder audio volume compared to any other rom exist for us until now. its something chinese dev put into it to make it sound louder and better. its proof of similar thing can be achieve just in software (read:rom) level.

Has anybody else noticed just how much better Sense sounds? I flashed Joelz's CM9 kang and took a drive in my truck. Sense has a lower more responsive bass and overall a more rounded sound. There are entire drum beats I'm not hearing on ICS. I noticed this on the earlier builds too, so it's not specific to this one.
I've been messing around with DSP manager, but I still can't seem to get that sound. Anyone have a good DSP setup they're willing to share?

I have (on the HD2, but I believe the cause my by the same).
It's discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628041
According to Mike of MeanRom, none of the equalizer apps, including Dsp, work on the Evo 3d Ics leak. Adjusting sound in the app does not change sound tone. I noticed this over my headphones too. I don't have the exact post, but it is in the MeanRom forum.

That must have something to do with it, but the difference is way past just an equalizer. People think it's drivers/libs related.

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

Anyone notice since the new firmware update that the extended options for beats audio either has been removed or moved to where I cant find them.. I can only find the option to turn beats on or off now.. Cannot find anymore how to find settings for Beats ur beats, Beats solo or Other and then the additional equalized settings if not using beats to choose genre's or more bass, treble etc...
I know. It sucks. I have made a thread about it, but it's sad that it seems like no one cares. I really hope someone will fix it. No one cares about sound on our HTC evo lte 4g!! There are a lot of fixes on the OneX, but not for us. Hopefully this will change in time.
I bet flashing the one x one would be okay for this fix. Just do a Android backup first. And, lets know if it works

I doubt it would work because it would replace one of the framework.apk

I found an alternative. The Urbeats profile sound the best IMO. With this installed it sound GREAT!

Beats is pretty much a gimmick anyway. You can get the same sound with any decent equalizer

Dolby srs, stereo3d, virtualization, and beats are all relative variations of stereo expansion. Anything you get with beats can be recreated with poweramp and subtle assist from DSP manager
