Gonna be trying this now, thanks for the suggestion.
Guys you can press the thanks button if you really think i helped you.
I'd check out KingzBeatz as well... Use it on my nexus 7 and RAZR with no issues.

Man, reading your post I installed Viper, and boy, it runs like jelly!
Really improved my tinny razr's headphone quality to beyond godlike!
And I also tweaked the speaker equalizer to mimic Beats Audio, so I get Beats Audio through my Loudspeaker.
Just modify the Equalizer settings for each frequency according to this:
31hz- -1db
adjust to how much bass you like without interfering with vocals
62hz -3db
adjust to how much bass you like without interfering with vocals
125hz -14db
this should be very low. at 0db, the mids overwhelm every other note, to the point it truly disrupt the music. its important to drop this, it muffles vocals severely
250Hz -5db
just like the mid bass above, but not as disruptive, so you can leave this at a higher db. note that both mid bass contain important notes in music, as such having them down lessens some notes, but it does far more good down than harm
500hz 2db
1khz 3db
2khz 3db
4khz 3db
8khz 4db
16khz 8db
[copied from a HP Beats Audio Forum]
And it sounds a lot better!
Thanks!

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327237
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.

Hi guys,
Im kinda wondering if somebody can provide the beats audio files for the Xperia S? I had the zip package on my Arc installed with CWM.
Somebody got an easier way to install? The sound compared with an Xperia Arc lacks sound quality. Especially with my incar Bluetooth audio with amplifier i can hear the difference.
Many thanks

As we have no recovery yet. Unzip that zip you have for arc and move the files to the same system folders. Then set permissions RW- , R-- , R-- then reboot the phone. Warning, not sure if anyone has tried with Xperia S yet and not sure it's really worth it. I like the sound from the S clear bass works well

Thats true, the bass is very clear. But with incar audio the bass frequence feels and sounds very high. I will try to put the files but i would rather wait an easier way to root

Trust me, Beats Audio is crap and doesn't do much at all.
Try messing around with the equalizer settings in the Music app, and try the Virtual Surround modes too (I prefer 'Studio'), you should be able to customize the sound to your liking.
poweramp
Surely you'd be better off using poweramp? I cant hear much difference between beats and the bass & treble eq on poweramp...

Though the Beats Audio files only was "files"? HTC phones using Beats Audio has Beats chip inside, so how can only installing files make any difference besides that it eq the music?
Beats Audio files that you can install yourself is suppose to work together with the chip.
Or am I totally wrong?
Try out Google Music as your player, very nice EQ in it.

Beats Audio is just an EQ..........
The normal Sensation without the beats chip also can support beats audio with custom roms - more than sufficient proof its just an EQ.
To sum it up, it's an EQ that supposedly makes things sound better, although purists would disagree with it since it's an S-Shaped EQ.
Somebody just provide us the Beats Audio drivers , quick!
The Sony XS has an internal HPF, and an automatic eq for the most ""hard and difficult" frequencies (100-300hz).
The EQ of the player (400-16k hz) is a eq for noobs but it's very good
We don't need the beats audio optimization

My JBLs, Pioneer 600RMS subwoofer and my JVC carradio NEEDS beats audio!!!
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

On the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.4.2 OTA update, is there anyway to tweak the audio quality of the speaker so sounds do not play as if they are being "covered up" by a blanket?
It's hard to explain, but, whenever I make a call to a person, the clarity of the sound isn't clear; its a little distorted, even at medium volume levels.
Is there an app that can tweak with Equalizer settings or handle the Audio playback settings to make the sound playback a little more clear and not like it's coming from under a rock?
This is happening to me with calls and playback of media files. It sounds too distorted (or under heavy cover up).
Is this normal for the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 to sound worse than the Sprint Galaxy S3 (which I had before and didn't have this sound quality issue as much)?

Yes, I am rooted on 4.4.2.
Also, is there a well-balanced preset audio quality tweaking settings I can apply? I ask this because Sprint Galaxy Note 3s should be the same pretty much, and I thought that people have found a perfect Equalization or sound balancing values that would make a balance between clarity and good music playback, without sacrificing both.
There are apps that can fine tune those specifics for me if I have root? I really don't want to play around with sliders to figure it out... unless I am told values that others have had success with.

The only sound mod of which I'm aware is the mixer paths edit, and it busts your radio antenna.
Far better to go with viper4android and call it a day.
Loud and clear is what you'll get, as well as perfectly balanced, professionally sampled audio quality.

One question: How do I enable the Viper4android preset to change in realtime as im playing music from thr samsung music app? Sometimes, the change would take effect immediately and now it has not changed or affected anymore songs that are played after.
Its as if the preset and viper4android simply stopped working.
How do I make it working all the time? The driver status says enabled Yes, Neo supported Yes, and processing No.
You have to go into your build prop and edit
lpa.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
Make sure it says false

I've read somewhere that AOSP offers worse sound quality than Sammy ROMs.
Something about AOSP not having access to Samsung drivers, which is the general argument people give for camera quality comparisons as well. The sound chip is from Wolfson, not Samsung though, so wouldn't that mean the sound would remain the same?
My question is not about the volume being low, or using equalizers, but on overall audio quality and fidelity when listening to music (eg.). Is there an audible difference between the ROMs or do they play back the same?

Why would you use those on a cellphone though?
Other than that, I have personally not seen any difference in sound quality. I have however noticed a slight buzzing sound when you have a high level of volume and a system sound is reproduced. Since system sounds usually have about a 3-second playback time and only half of that is the actual sound, I can hear some of the 'static'. Doesn't bother me too much.
