Hi guys, Im new to gs3 but not new to rooting ect, my friend wants to know if beats audio is availble and working on the new s3 on stock ICS. if so can you hook a brother up? im currently using beats audio on my ace
Much love
No, Beats is not supported. However, the audio quality is already very good and Supercurio is also working on his Voodoo kernel which improves the audio quality a lot (much better than Beats).

This x1,000,000.
The wolfson audio codec in the gs3 is top quality stuff, its already amazing and with supercurio showing it some voodoo magic it will be the ****!
Beats is a gimmick.
The "I want Beats Audio" threads are the only ones where I ever have to restrain myself from coming in and flaming people.
To the OP: rest assured, when the S3 gets Voodoo anyone who isn't near-deaf will forget all about Beats.

I agree with your point but the thanks were for the band in your signature!
I wouldn't call S3 sound quality bad but by no means would I call it good, because I've owned a lot of Nokias and the sound quality is just in a different league to Samsung, and I've tried Voodoo on my SGS1&2 but still not even close, and if I want to listen to some music I prefer to dig out my old N95.
Audio quality really depends on a lot of factors: music player, earphones, environment, music file, etc...
Comparing combinations of the above factors is impossible and counterproductive. It's better to compare each part of the "chain" individually.
So far the SGS3 comes very close to what I consider very good. It's not perfect, but then again, I'm waiting for Supercurio's work to be finished. Compared to my HTC Desire and my old iPod nano 2nd gen, it is really good and I hardly dare to ask for more.

I tried same tracks, same headphones and same equalizer settings and also manually changing them, but my N95 beats it with maximum volume and all through the range, and I just find the S3 sound dull and muted in comparison.
Beat's is completely portable to the SIII.
This feature although controversial will be in our next Warm ROM installment for the SIII.
I just posted a link to the dsp manager app. I like it better than beats because of customization ability.

How to get Beats Audio on your SGS3:
1. Use a music player with an equaliser
2. Increase the gain of all low frequency bands to maximum
And voila, instant Beats Audio!

Ok, so I have tried three or four different roms featuring Beats Audio and absolutely detest it. It's nothing more than super duper over compression and turning it off makes everything sound even worse.
The catch is, I LOVE my current rom (hydra 2.1) , but use my phone in my car to often to just ignore it. Is there anything I can do to uninstall beats or is there anything that I can install that sounds at least as good as the stock rom? Thanks in advance

Get PowerAmp and set your EQ to your speakers for best sound
Anybody know what the Evo 3d signal to noise ratio is?
Poweramp here also. Let me tell you, the 3d kills the OG evo in the audio out dept.
I'm actually looking for something with a nice flat eq sound. I've been doing car audio and security for 19 years. While I understand that I will never approach cd quality, I just don't want super compression on everything any more than I already have to deal with from mp3.

I find Beats to be great. I think it comes down to what headphones you have. If you have cheap headphones, nothing will do miracles for those, but if you have mid-range headphones $30-$60, it makes quite the difference and I don't need to fiddle with anything.

Just use audio manager or dsp manager, way better imo.
Also to me 30-60 is a cheap headphone. The headphones I play games with are 350. No, I'm not saying I have a lot of money because I don't, audio is one of many main hobbies (below android of course)
I really despise beats products, they are WAY overpriced. You can find 60 dollar headphones that are better than beats. I hate that people get taken for their products...

Quick question, have the new roms with Beats Audio been able to do the Beats profile through Bluetooth or only through regular ones? Not sure if it's possible, but I can only do it through my regular headphones on the Hybrid+ rom.

This is a shame, and will keep me from upgrading to the S2. I have a captivate now and was looking forward to improved GPS with the S2. However, GPS is good enough on the captivate now (custom ROMs), and the sound quality is too good to give up.
Maybe try listening to the sound quality?
I haven't noticed any significant difference between the two.

Interestingly enough - Supercurio is working on doing some MC1N2 audio tuning. It's in extremely early stages (as in, he has no threads on it, it's only there for those who really know where to look, and he does NOT like when people put alpha-grade testing software of his into widely available releases.)
So some interesting stuff might be coming - who knows, often research projects like that just don't pan out, so don't get your hopes up.

The only issue with market equalizers is that they are mostly software based which will distort the sound. Voodoo sound is software thats specially designed to rework how the hardware outputs audio allowing for better clarity

I spoke with supercurio a couple days ago about this actually, and according to him there will be no "Voodoo Sound" for the SGSII. The hardware simply does not have the features required for it to work, and the audio hardware is really inferior to the previous generation Galaxy S phones as well.
I cant believe that would be a deal breaker for getting this phone....i think it sounds great as is! But, to each his own!

you can download Equalizer from Market and adjust it so its just as good/better then Beats.
It is fairly easy to duplicate the beats sound by using PowerAmp and it's EQ settings.
I have a set of ultimate ears earbuds and they sound as good or better than beats after playing with the EQ for a while.
I do like how easy beats makes it however, when you can just fire up the HTC player, plug in the phones and off you go.

It's nice that it works for BT and headphones and slightly for the speaker.

Are pretty sick to. Just thought I would share my story with all of you. Lol
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. I be rocking them beats
I agree with equalizer, just try small increments at first, or you will have more distortion. The neutral quality of audio while playing with this is pretty good as is. It is much louder then most in my experience. So the EQ benefits sound quality even at higher volumes compared to other androids. As a start, 2-4 db increase at low and high end should be your max. You can go a little higher on this but not much.. But on other models, over 2-3 and you risk a lot of distortion because of lack of earjack power.
I myself am toying around with a few setups trying to decide which is best. Im finding ROMS play a big part in sound quality. So please post your ROM. I dont know if its cause we dont have kernel source or what, but i cant get the sound quality i had with my thunderbolt.
ROM - Ineffibillis Deus 1.0
Poweramp - like it, but crashes and freezes a lot, at least for me and cant figure out why. When it works i use rock preset, tone disabled, srs enabled, beats disabled. Id give sound quality and power an 8/10.
Google Music - not great alone.. But when combined with EQualizer app it can come close to poweramp. Im shying away from this because i dont want to get too used to it since we will be losing unlimited data.. Also, i hate having to be logged into webplayer at home with my gmail accessible.. :/ ill give this 7.5/10
So what are you guys running?

After reading theses posts I tried Poweramp and yes it is very nice. Big improvement over the stock music player. My Rezound sounds much better now over the bluetooth in my car. Prier to Poweramp the stock player lacked Bass, Poweramp is able to over come that disability. Poweramp actually makes the Rezound a lot closer to the sound quality we had on the EVO3D and it didn't even come with Beats Audio.

It is a big improvement as a previous user posted. You can set EQs where you want, or use the built in presets. And if you want multiple EQs, you can create your own presets.

If you like it, go pro. I seriously can't stand Poweramp coming from my Droid Charge. I tried multiple versions, all of which crashed all the time. I had different ROMs, kernels, etc and Poweramp still crashed. Maybe its fixed now, maybe not.
I think Mortplayer, DSP Manager, and Neutron is where its at.
Oh, and by the way, you take a hit on sound quality in Poweramp with the EQ or tone controls active. It is just the way it is. I don't consider the Rezound sound in the same league as Galaxy S and family on Voodoo or the iPhone, but the Rezound could sound fine if tweaked. Neutron player should have enough tweaks to whip the Rezound sound into shape without a quality hit.

Sound quality hit. I A/B'ed with and without EQ by listening to music and toggling it on and off with the EQ set to flat. It likely has more benefit than harm if you really need to EQ though.

Unfortunately not. That's the only thing I miss about my Charge. Supercurio only owns Samsung, and won't let anyone port his work to anything he doesn't own because he wants to be able to support it properly if it has his brand on it. It might be possible to emulate, but no one has done it yet.

I would agree with you but since The 2.0 update it allows for skins. I use kovledevs ICS power amp skin and Its much better looking. It also skins the player and Widgets fyi. The beats actually makes a pretty good difference. But sense roms just have such better sound. For me for some unknown reason my audio is really messed up and seems like it's only playing in mono instead of stereo. And it's only a problem on AOSP rooms. As soon as I go to sense its fine. So I may go back

Is there anything like supercurio's Voodoo Sound? Doesnt this phone have an amazing DAC like that of the galaxy s(fascinate) Im currently in the process of getting a rezound and im trying to learn as much as possible. From what I know beats really isnt that good correct? Isnt it just a glorified EQ?

Your making a good switch. Now that source is out were close to working aosp stuff. Beats actually makes a difference. The sound is pretty good on this phone.

Thanks! I'm really surprised by this phone it seems like the underdog for some reason. The prices for these phones are really cheap compared to a razr or nexus. The quality of this phone is definitely better than most and the screen is really superb. I'm not sure why more people dont like it. Good for us though! As a side note I realized that even replacing the lcd and digitizer is quite cheap and easy.

You see what we saw in this when we bought it. Even when full price at 300 seemed much better than both Razr and Nexus. Camera, screen, sound, great radios, removable battery(Razr), and free beats made this really hard to beat.

And I honesty still wouldn't trade it for any Verizon phone unless a new HTC with better specs come out. Not the galaxy s3 or iPhone5 even. I'm really hoping for that 1080p HTC phone supposedly coming out

Why not the S3? I tend to think that is a good phone overall. Althoughm when you take apart these phones you see there is no metal shielding around the components like htc or motorola has. This is why the signal is always so good on these devices.
Getting back on topic how does poweramp stack up to the beats player? Isnt beats restricted to only the integrated htc player? I thought I saw a script somewhere to access the beats audio for use on any player. What player or script brings a purer sound from the DAC?

Power amp is all I can say. 10 frequency eq and every other setting you could want.
Once you get it dialed in for the majority of your music, you are good to go.

Power amp is totally cool. I notice my I beats get better sound than my tour buds though
Thanks for all the cool ideas
