Hi,
I've been searching for something similar to what I have been looking for but couldn't find it so just thought maybe this site would help me.
I have been using the music app PowerAmp to play my music and one thing I like about it is the equalizer, now one thing I noticed is that it is a little difficult to find any equalizers that work on the same level as it AND can be used as a system equalizer since PowerAmp only works for PowerAmp and nothing else like Pandora, Youtube, etc...
My question is are there any apps that use the same equalizer as PowerAmp AND are compatible with other third party apps, or is there a way to make PowerAmp my system equalizer (being able to use it with any other app)?
P.S: I am already rooted and am using the HTC One M8 and PowerAmp just makes the speakers sound much better imo (BoomSound is already good don't get me wrong).
P.S.S: Already tried using Viper4Android, a bunch of equalizer apps from the Play Store and a DSP Manager app so any help would be appreciated.
P.S.S.S: If you need the equalizer setting I use for PowerAmp for my HTC One M8's speaker then I'll be happy to post a screenshot if I can.
I honestly would recommend Viper4android, it works for me on those apps, for example spotify. Perhaps you're doing something wrong?

I usually hear that it is the best and don't get me wrong, Viper4Android has its perks, it's just that Poweramp makes my HTC One M8's speakers sound....deeper? Don't know if that's the word for it, what I'm saying is that Poweramp gives a better bass response and it seems I can't get it to work like that with Viper4Android.
Like I said before, I'll be happy to show you the settings I have for Poweramp's equalizer and see if someone who is good at Viper4Android can replicate it. Since I am using the One M8 though then I think it should be used for the One M8 only, but people may hear a difference with other phones too so they can give it a try to see if they hear what I am talking about.
I am a noob at Viper4Android so maybe I just don't know how to tweak it as good as others.

Why does almost every rom include this app? I dont see what is so great about it. To me it is just taking up RAM.
Am I missing something?
You can just remove it if you don't want it. To my knowledge, it is an equalizer for your phones speaker and earpiece. You can change it to how you want..but if you don't want it, just remove it. No need to get all feisty ;p

If used correctly you can dramatically improve sound quality with speaker headsets and bluetooth

Increases functionality and customization of your sound output on your phone's 4 different output methods (earpiece, speaker, BT, and headphone jack I believe as well)
Every time I opened it it would force close, so I removed it.

because there's a serious low volume issue on the 3D
we need everything possible to try to make the sound louder
I like the EQ, it comes in handy with apps like tune in and other apps where a little sound boost is needed.

If you already have an equalizer or other volume increasing app, it will conflict with dsp manager and vice versa. You can only have one. If you don't have anything conflicting with it like that and want to try it, maybe someone can help you get the apk to install manually. It really does make things sound great. Though I liked Equalizer from the market better.

Thanks. I'll have to look around and see what else is on my phone. I already have an apk of it, I just didn't want to install it again and have the same issues.

Well I was on the Daily New's website and I opened a video and it opened HTC streaming media player. Beats audio showed up in the taskbar like with htc music except when I closed streaming media it was still there allowing me to use it with things like grooveshark and Pandora. I'm not sure if this is a freak thing or if this is a glitch that works in our favor. I encourage you to try it and report back. Thanks!
Note: htc streaming media is not in your app drawer. I don't know how to open it without clicking the right video
I am going to assume you didn't actually close the app, therefor the icon stayed in the status bar but was not actually equalizing the Pandora/etc.
No, I closed the app in a task killer. I think I would know if I closed it or not. And it is actually equalising Pandora because when I press disable you can hear a difference.
Is the beats audio feature software or hardware?

Both. The Beats DSP is hardware. The EQ settings and API are software. Now oddly enough I've had similar experiences but they were short lived. Such as I switched from playing a song in stock to watch a video or something and 30 seconds into the video the beats EQ gave out finally and there was a noticeable drop in audio fidelity on the video I was watching. I'd like to find a way to force it always on.. maybe someone can make an app with the api that just runs in the background holding Beats open.
An App is something that I was getting at. There is the released versions of the stock rom, its gotta be in there somewhere. And with all the custom roms coming out its gotta be available to modify and such. Ill have to start digging into it this weekend.
If you are rooted, try this post. The sound will carry to all apps like Pandora, or Google Music:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396281
He gives you pics of exact settings to reproduce the sound, and further along in the thread another guy gives another group of settings that sounds even better. Try both and see which you like. Both sound great, but they're your ears, so do what's best for you.
I did it and it sounded great, just be careful with task managers because if you kill the DSP manager, it will stop the EQ settings.
If you're not rooted there are apps that set the eq that you can buy from the market. Hope that helps.
There is supposed to be an update coming in the near future that will allow you to use beats on all apps... I think
Hey People.
How can i increase the volume of the speaker? Safely and without distortion, by Editing and not with apps running on the phone all the time.
It's like these, i'm using Gingersony v06 ( yes i got back to Gingersony after 3 days of being on the Original Stock Eclair, that Blue color on all the Stock Eclair is very annoying :S ), and people tell me that they can't hear me clearly when we are in a Call, and i don't hear people as well ( at least not loud enough ).
So that's why i wanted to increase the volume in order to hear loud and for the others to hear me loud 2.
Good answers will always get a Thanks press button
Ps: just an add, if someone knows how to get better audio quality as well ( because when hearing music, i can hardly hear clear the vocals ) then please tell me
Hey!

I don't see the download anywhere in that thread, and it says it's for Mini, mine is Mini Pro, will it work?
But by the name 'Beats', i guess that must be the Xloud+Beats thing.
I used that thing some time ago but in that time i didn't see any change in the sound at all, but maybe i had a wrong version of it, because some players didn't work with that installed.
You know where i can get the fully working version?
Ps: that beats mod, did it change your sound quality at the point that you can hear the vocals clearly when playing music?, because it's a bit annoying to hear great/loud Instruments and then the voice looks like it's far away from the song :S xD

Try DSP-Manager with eq 'vocal boost' preset enabled, or play around with the viper4android APP (the best sound quality/loudness enhancer APP in my opinion ).

Dsp Manager i personally don't like it because for me it's the same thing as an Normal equalizer, i tried all presets and effects but there's always something wrong, if using effects for more vocals then the sound will loose Power 'instruments will sound with much less power, not very good to hear' to obtain that, about the viper4android i don't know if it's good 'i only used it once in your rom but with a bug of stoping/starting music so i quit' but maybe i'll make another try, sincerely i don't think there's a solution for the vocal problem on the songs without changing the sound itself or having Less Power
Hi! I wanted to use Viper4Android but since I've just bought this new Moto G Plus, I didn't want to root it and mess with the guarantee. So, I'm trying to use NoozXoide, but it does not seems to work correctly with Spotify... It changes absolutely NOTHING on the sound. The odd part is that, sometimes, specially when I've just set NoozXoide and then I open Spotify, the musics start REALLY loud for like, 1 sec, and suddenly the volume drops... I'm not sure if I'm miss-setting something... Could you guys help me?
(Oh, also, since I've never been able to use NoozXoide (I've also tried with my old S4 Mini, like, 6 months ago), I don't know the best settings to listen to the most authentic (original recording-like) and subwoofered bassy music... could you also gimme some tips on this? thanks )
ALSO.
If there's ANY way to install Viper4Android without messing with my phone's guarantee (it seems that the only methods require either root or Selinux mod, right...? And doing those usually cancel the product's guarantee), or at least any good alternative to V4A, I'd be glad you guys could help me.
Thanks!
Someone?
ANY one? (((
Seriously, no one??
Hey all! Just bought the 7.1 from B&H for $349 to replace my Moto g5 plus which is full of issues. One thing I will miss is being able to install V4A (Viper equalizer). I can tune the settings and make my Bluetooth to car connection sound a hell of a lot better than actually changing the settings on the head unit. Was wondering if there was a stock (or built in) EQ for the Nokia 7.1 that I can use to tune Spotify, YouTube, etc. or if I'll have to download a crappy EQ app off of the play store. Is there a built in EQ, or even better, a way to install V4A on this phone without TWRP? Thanks!

There is a way to change the Bluetooth codec in the dev menue, not the same as an EQ but wouldn't you want the signal to transfer as true as possible and use your speaker source EQ?

Yeah I got the phone, saw the stuff in the devs. To answer everyone's question, there is a built in EQ, but you have to open Spotify to use it (not sure if GPM or Pandora work). It's not terrible, but certainly not as good as V4A. And to respond to your question, I don't think the signal transfer is really touched with an EQ. The EQ adds bass and lets me adjust my mids to the way I like them. Like I said, my head unit is garbage. The EQ practically does nothing to improve bass or mids. At first I thought it was the speakers but it isn't. Thats why I wanted a built in EQ on my phone, until I get a new head unit at least.
