Audio quality btween GB and ICS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey I got power amp with equalizer full and I must say, it rocks on GB, great bass and rich sound but I flash ics and the quality sucks bad. Could this b a kernel issue? With the ics or just the developd roms not good music sound wise? What's your take on this?

The ICS roms available for our phone are based on a leaked version. I expect the "official" release to be better in every way including audio. You should however install DSPManager and tweak your sounds a little bit and see if that helps or consider installing the Beats Audio mod.

I use PowerAmp myself and never worry about how the stock player sounds. Installing an Equalizer app or DSP manager will also do the trick to let you tweak the sound to your own liking no matter what version of Android you're on.

Why Speaker Audio in SAMMY ROM is worse than AOSP'S?

Hi everyone, i'm curious about something, In Sammy roms, the sound is really LOW! I can barely hear the notification sound, or call sounds, music sound also isn't as loud as AOSP, when i flash CM7/CM9 or AOSP ICS the sounds is AMAZING, very LOUD and clear, can i somehow make some changes in sammy roms to get AOSP sound capabilities? Thanks!!

-Sound quality
-Features (for example equalizer)
-DSP-Manager support
-Minimum size
-Design
Thanks for the awnsers .

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 .

AUDIO Mods in addition to your Music Player

I think this mod is still very unkown, that's why I'm posting it here. Especially because I consider the Samsung Galaxy Players (4 and 4.2 because of DAC) as a music player with android benefits.
So I tried several mods and players and mods will always effect the sound quality more than the music player.
Yes right, it doesn't matter which music player you use, whether it's PlayerPro or PowerAMP, because you have to disable the built in EQ anyways. I tried AcidAudio with Walkman Player and thought wow. Then I tried Noozxoide with Noozyplayer and thought this was the best.
Today I found out about this mod: [OFFICIAL][MOD] ViPER4Android (V4A) Audio Effects - Android 2.3 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 4.2 by Zhuhang
I recommend you to try this!
I'm using PowerAMP and first you have to disable Direct Volume Control. Then click on the built in Equalizer and disable EQU, TONE and LIMIT.
Now install the right version of ViPER4Android FX as described (first Manager apk,reboot , then Viper apk) and then install ViPER4Android XHiFi as described. After this you can start your music, start Viper and test what sound fits your ears.
Here are my settings:

Both.
Both have some same options. so deactivate this options in FX and try them in XHiFi. So they can coexist. Some options will use more CPU, so find out what fits you best

LOL, I discovered it the same way as you!
But I can't find a way to make it work with PlayerPro. I just ignores V4A. I think in only recognizes the built-in EQ. How do I disable it?
Thanks in advance!
For me the Viper Mods work very well. I' using powerAmp so I just disabled the DVC.
If you want to increase the effect you should download some Viper Audio Kernels :victory:
New version
Just to let everyone who loves this app, there was an updated release for 4.3. I personally tried it and can't get it to work for my SGP5. Tried everything, followed step by step instructions, went into system/lib/soundfx and deleted driver, tried installing driver 5+times all with reboots, still nothing. All this done all day Sunday after finally upgrading to 4.3 (been putting it off since viper4A was not release for 4.3 yet). I would post on OP but i'm a long time lurker and just got around to creating an account here.
Update: gave up for now on it, tried pm'ing zhuhang about the driver loop issue but he had the same idea i had and just to wait for new release this weekend.
on the upside this situation forced me to experiment with other apps, some may be familiar with noozxide's pro app, which i tried and found lacking. But his e-series version does add a noticeable punch to bass while keeping mid - high range. may wanna try it out if you get bored.

There are mods for sound volume, but the Sony based ROM's (mine included) even CM based ROM's can't change what Sony have done. and the thing is that even companies like sony... all they can do is change EQ settings which they do with clear voice and +enhancement. So there isn't much we can do, because its all about hardware. The XU has ok hardware, but not fantastic.
So all you can really do is make a custom setting for EQ settings that feels good for you.

Android is fixed @ 44.1 KHz. I'm afraid that just resampling chain will be longer, and whole operation is pointless without kernel driver replacement. Right now we have 48KHz fixed hardware (by kernel driver), so....
Sound player -> any sound mod --- > 192Khz upsample ----> 44.1 Khz android downsample -> kernel driver 48 Khz upsample
All you can really try is this clean audio mod
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Iy8gxK9tcZS1RhY0REaHFXQ2M/edit?usp=sharing
It increases the volume with clear audio and also increases the bass. But its still just EQ settiings. But with this as a base, you can also improve other settings in the EQ

And if you have any info, can you point out what is the best sound EQ for ZU right now...maybe it just EQ but it seems to make some different on hearing....on iphone I used ACUDIO and it work perfectly and many sound mod to choose but android don't support it...hope to point the right direction...

Sound player -> any sound mod --- > 192Khz upsample ----> 44.1 Khz android downsample -> kernel driver 48 Khz upsample
All you can really try is this clean audio mod

It increases the volume with clear audio and also increases the bass. But its still just EQ settiings. But with this as a base, you can also improve other settings in the EQ

I made three of my own mods to improve and tweak certain things on a Sony base. But the reason I don't have them in the ROM itself is because most people want to keep it stock. So then you can mod it they way you want. Of course there are tweaks within build.prop that do a lot, but not at a base level.

Interesting, will give it a try...
But how bout Zeroinfinity sound mod....I've used it in many xperia variant device and the mod seems to work...don't know it will work on ZU but will check....
And if you have any info, can you point out what is the best sound EQ for ZU right now...maybe it just EQ but it seems to make some different on hearing....on iphone I used ACUDIO and it work perfectly and many sound mod to choose but android don't support it...hope to point the right direction...

I've been without my Ultra for 7 weeks now... (sent in for repair) so i'm not sure what settings within the EQ would work well. I should have it back wednesday I hope...

Well maybe, but given the option within that rom is a great thing to and also easy to get rather than search one forum at a time...yes it's good to keep it stock and like me, also like it that way but a change also recommended....if want stock, why flashing the same thing that what is already there....of course some stock rom like yours have modified to make it better but some little change is also good or given the option to do so within that rom....just my opinion....
Like me, I like it to have a theme, like different icon, added resize widget and maybe like Htc widget, more animation, different battery icon with percentage...just my wish list....some of this can be found on old phone but not today's....just miss it...if I have a skill to make my own Rome I will make it like that, but not possible by my knowledge....

ROM is a matter of personal opinion. Whichever ROM a person chooses to use is because that ROM appeals to that individual. Therefore, it is not easy to suggest a ROM, as what a person likes is not necessarily what the other person would like.
Also it is not necessary to change a ROM to obtain good sound performance. There are enough sound mod in XDA to satisfy a person's need, without him or her changing a ROM. You can try Viper audio mod (which I would personally recommend, especially for the wide variety of opetions available) or the Acid audio mod or Beats audio mod etc. Sound performance would also depend on your music player. Players like PowerAmp, Player Pro etc, offer a lot of control over how the sound quality would be like.

Yeah ofc i know that,but on my secound phone i tryed alot of roms,with have good sound quality,or a little lower. Its a difference between dll's
Also i had Viper audio,its not bad but battery drain is just horrible. About 40% faster my phone is dead with this mod. Thats why i am asking with one ROM for live with walkman will have good sound mod's like Xperia Z walkman "pure performance"

u think wrong bro, its not rom
i would tell u choose A ROM. to ur liking 1st. bcuz this is the real deal. soundmods are a bit unversally so it dont matters.
just to list: (works on(above GB))
Viper's Audio --> CM, & STOCK up to 4.4
Sony Audio (WALKMAN) cm & stock up to 4.4
DSP manager - is only on CM (or DiY) probably this will have lowest effect on battery bcuz its very stripped down in sound ench.
acid audio is too buggy/not really for our devices
those ''beats'' audio mods are more like a joke.
i would say CM is allways best in battery even if u dont will use 4.2+ , switch to cm (even cm9) will give u huge improvement.
soundmod its up to u.
