we all know that our players sound very poor and the built in eq(stock music app) is really crappy ,
so i found a player with very awesome sound quality , with punchy bass

my custom eq settings are 15,2,4,1,4

Hmmm,
With decent headphones, I am quite pleased with the stock music app.
Sounds great actually.
better than any of my friends ipods. lol
I installed "n7player" about a week ago, used it for 20 minutes and removed it.
Just wasnt all that pleased with it, and it certainly didnt seem to "work" any better than the stock player.~ Sound, Function, etc.
With real headphones I have plenty of great bass.
edit: but dammit man...
now Im going to have to reinstall it and really study the sound differences. grrr. lol
I like this music player too, but there should be a shuffle button in the app itself.
I really like the UI though and the equalizer.
But the problem with the bassbooster is that it stutters while playing the song, which is very annoying. So I had to turn it off Hope they're gonna fix this, or is it just me?
Alright, Been playing with it for the past hour or so..
and I do stand corrected.
It does sound nicer! lol
Takes a lil bit of getting used to, but it is quite nice.
Shoulda gave it more than a few minutes last time.
Thanks OP.
edit: also noticed the bassbooster stutter. :/
edit2~ it seems the bassbooster only stutters when a "preset" is selected.
if the EQ preset is set to "off", i get no stutter.
but as soon as I change the preset, it goes back to the stutter.
hmmm
edit3~ lol
Seems like bassbooster is not even required when using OP's settings. very niice!
glad you made me rethink this player OP! <3
I've tried only 3 or 4 music players, but I strongly recommend PowerAmp.
For me is which has the best sound quality.
And have so many options and funcionalities; and a very good interface (if you have full version)

Was just having a look around in the settings,
and if you go to settings>playback settings>
you'll see a
"Use audio proxy buffering"[Experimental, Select this option only if the sound stutters/skips"
Maybe try that?
Ill check it out later, but for now i have plenty of bass using OP's settings. lol

I checked out Poweramp also, and removed it after 15 minutes. lol
Didnt seem like an app id want to pay for.
Liking this N7-player more and more though. :O
Found out that when you use the 4×2 widget on the homescreen it doesn't fit correctly. I have the BW weather widget just above it, and when I turn my screen into landscape mode there is no space between the two widgets, which is ugly as hell.
Really does
Really does sound better than the stock app, well for me at least. Thanks for the link!

hmm, both of the widgets seem fine for me. (4.0)
small and medium both, I dont see a problem.
but damn, I really am loving this player now. lol
Ok I've tested PowerAMP and N7 again, and I have to conclude that PowerAMP is still my favourite, but N7 is a nice one too. But the AMP's quality is just godly <3
N7 has a nice UI, but I really like the UI of Cubed better. I just tried N7 and it skips a lot, even with minimal equalizer settings. Poweramp is best sound quality, and does not skip on my SGP5.
Ive been listening to music most of the day using N7 player and havent had it skip yet.
huh
I've been using PowerAmp for about a year now. I usually get the most use out of the tone adjustment feature more than anything. A little tweaking with it and the Bass & Treble Boost EQ on and it sounds amazing.
Then I decided to try the Beats Audio mod 'cause... Well, why not, and I was pleasantly surprised. With that and a little tweak of the tone in PowerAmp and I'm beyond happy.
Just food for thought.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
I tried it again and found it only skips when bass boost or srs is on. It does seem to have less distortion than poweramp. I'm liking the sound as long as it doesn't skip.
Is there a way to save custom equalizer setting?

the bass boost function comes at a cost , it reduces other sounds ,
best is to keep bass boost off and the bass in eq to 15
I'm gunna give this a try.. although I've really been itching to buy Neutron lately. PowerAMP sounds good, but Neutron sounds fantastic!
Maybe this will alleviate that itch.
Poweramp is pretty good. It has a simple interface, presets, equalizer and you can get extra widgets on the store
just installed power amp (full)..
it is quite nice!
Not sure i like it better than N7 yet..
But it is very niice.
wish I could bring the stability of poweramp and the features/setup of N7 into one player. lol

Question, did you use the regular flash, or the one for Samsung devices (SII)?
If you are looking for great sound, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543366 ROM and the built in DSP Equalizer from Cyanogenmod is AMAZING!!! Once you set it up the way you want it... You will love it.
Hi, guys,
I would like to know which you find is the best music player for a JB ROM on our device? By best I mean:
-Sound quality
-Features (for example equalizer)
-DSP-Manager support
-Minimum size
-Design
Thanks for the awnsers .
Sent from my U20i using xda app-developers app
I recommend you Android Music Player. It havent got a good design but it fast, simply and size of them is about 1MB. Also you can download Songbird Music Player (with nice design). I thinh in google play store is now avaible google music player, but the size of this app i big
Sorry for my english
First of all, thanks for the suggestion. Do you know where to get a working version for JB (I dont mean the one from play store)?
Does songbird have DSP/Manager support?
yo can look here and search for the music player apps you need there are some for JB too
Mixzing 2.6.2 is only 1.17mb and has the better Eq settings of them all ( every song can have is own preset ).
JetAudio Basic - it's 6 to 7mb but drains as much battery as the normal player of androids, and has Eq, Wide Stereo, Bass Enhacement, Reverb and AGC.
PowerAmp - 3mb, Drains less battery than both of them and has EQ/Stereo Widening/Limit Compressor/Gain. This apk is paid xD.
These are the best.

Hey,guys, I just found a great solution to my/our problem: XingPlayer:
-Lyric support
-Album art support
-DSP-Manager support
-Great design
-Sleep timer
-Lockscreen widget/notification bar wiget
-And its only 2 mb
I tested Jetaudio Basic, and my first impression was "Dang!!! Great Player! Look at all the features!", but then I tested equalizer and xbass on my headphones and the Sound just completely crapped up (I was listening to Snow by the Red Hot Chili Peppers). This never happened to me with players that used DSP-Manager as equalizer . I havn't tried Sonbird yet, so we'll have to see with that one...

How did you use Jetaudio? remember that jetaudio already has an eq and all other effects, so you can't have dsp active if the player already has an eq, Eq + Eq = Colision of Eq's, so if you want a good sound don't use 2 eq's at the same time, don't abuse on the use of wide stereo and reverb and x-bass. Mixzing has an eq 2 and the very best eq settings because every song can have its own preset, and it's only 1.17mb, less than 2mb of xingplayer.
This are players to be used without a second eq, with second eq i'm meaning of Dsp managers and eq's that are not included on the players.
But if you want a good single player to work with dps manager, then you got these: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qcnRzdHVkaW8ubXVzaWMiXQ.. less than 1mb, this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lbGlmZXJ1bi5tdXNpYyJd 1.1mb, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5uZXBzcXVhcmUuTlNQbGF5ZXIiXQ.. 405kb, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNuLnZvaWxldC5nb29kdm9pY2VwbGF5ZXIiXQ.. 345kb, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImtlLnBsYXllciJd only 153kb, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYW5lLnhwbGF5LmFjdGl2aXRpZXMiXQ.. 2.9mb and has eq bass enhancement and virtualizer ( i think it would sound cool if you tweak the virtualizer and make nice eq settings with the player or the dsp manager ), https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImpwLnUxYXJ5ei5wcm9kdWN0cy5tZWRpYXBsdXMiXQ.. 492kb and it's good looking, and i think that's all xD, tell me if you like some of those .

Thanks for all your trouble! I didn't even know there where so many good music players out there! My personal favourite on your list was MediaPlus player because of the style, the performance and the size. It would have easily beaten Xing, if DSP-manager had supported it: This is what happened: I killed DSP-manager and all music apps left on my phone (xing and mediaplus). Then I restarted DSP-manager and opened mediaplus, played a song, but DSP-managers sound effects didn't kick in, no matter how often I opened dsp and fiddled with the settings. The , I tried xing and the sound effects kicked in immediatly! Why don't you give it a try?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=xing+player+google+play
As for JetAudio, no, I didn't use Dsp, I actually deleted dsp to stop it interfering while testing JetAudio. Once I turned xbass and everything off, the sound didn't crap up, but then the sound quality wasn't comparable to a dsp-powered music application.

http://www.1mobile.com/equalizer-music-player-664712.html - This one without dsp just using its eq settings have very nice sound for me, for me i put Rock preset then slide almost all the way up the 3rd bar of the Eq then volume all way up and the bass in the left area almost all the way down, and important ( don't select any rverb effects on the bottom, just use the bars ) it sounded very nice for me, very loud with quality! but that was for me, i don't know if you would like the sound with these settings, give it a try . I'll answer to the rest of your post later, i'm gonna eat now xD.

You're welcome! Yes there are but the best ones are too much for our mini pro to handle :S, i always wanted to try Neutron Music Player but it always force closes on this phone :S. yes i really looks good, but if it doesn't support dsp that's too bad. Did you check every option of the mediaplus to see if it had anything to (enable) dsp or sound effects? About xingplayer it looks like the original music app that already is in the roms but the roms version is already 1mb or less and compatible with dsp, so i think for now the original music app of the rom wins.
Honestly i don't see what is the difference beetween using or not the dsp manager comparing to music players with eq and effects in it, i used both techniques and the results are very much the same, but that EQ music player is the one i liked the most in terms of sound quality/volume.
About jetaudio, i think that everything is pretty much the same, dsp changes volume but pre-amp of jetaudio does 2, dsp changes eq but jetaudio does it 2, both have reverb effects as well, so i think there is no real difference beetween players with everything in it and dsp supported players, at least i didn't hear the difference beetween both techniques.

Now, this is very interesting, because on my phone, comparing dsp-powered apps with preinstalled equalizer apps is like comparing night with day: I think DSP-Manager makes the sound SO much better, no idea why you don't hear any difference. Hmm...
PS.: Have you tested my Rom with nAa's new kernel (why the heck did he call it v02, when the older version is called v03?!)?

Did you try that player and eq settings that i just said?.
Interesting in deed, did you use the same effects with the same values on both techniques? i did that and the result was always the same. If i'm not doing the right eq settings then maybe you could show me the difference by making a screenshot or saying here the effects and the values that you put on your dsp. Remember i only listen to heavy music like rock and rapcore and stuff xD, it's (distorted) sounds, so it must be carefully tweaked, much more careful than any other type of music.
Ps: no i didn't, but i don't think that it's going to do much in performance or sound quality, maybe it just let's you use more options that weren't available. And maybe the name v02 is because he might based the kernel in the older v02 version being an update to that kernel.

I myself almost only listen to rock, but I like the bass being really powerful . I'll upload a screenshot with my DSP settings soon. One thing I noticed about the different music players: Only the ones where you press the menu button and have the option 'sound effects' or 'equalizer', which gets you to the dsp settings, actually make a difference with dsp. The ones where you don't have that option don't change the sound with dsp. I really would recommend xing to you, okay, the library looks exactly like the stock os player, and it's about double the size, BUT it has much more features and I like the playback style and the sleep timer (and the lockscreen). Also, when you press the menu button, it gives you the chance to go to dsp, which means that It DEFINITLY supports it!
PS.: Sorry, but at the moment I'm on stock rom to test a script I wrote for the guy in the wifi tethering thread. I think I'll reflash this evening and test the player, looks good .

Hi guys,
I just got a S3 (very happy so far), rooted with Omega 444 (amazing!). Anyway, UI used to use VolumeBoost to increase the volume on my HTC Desire for taking the noisy metro each morning. But it doesn't seem to work on the S3.
I used PowerAmp as my media player.
Any suggestions for the best app for boosting the volume? Ideally it should work without me having to open the app.
Thanks

dont know how volumeboost works, but in combination with poweramp most of the time you have to disable dvc in poweramp settings in order to get sound mods to work

But beware that if you flash a custom kernel with EQ, verify that it doesn't interfere with the Poweramp's EQ or any other app you use. Sometimes, kernel's EQ can be quite sensitive, depending on what you chose.
