Louder Volume Hack v3.6

Requirements: Android
Overview: The speaker itself isn’t of the highest quality but the Android Community wanted to squeeze as much as possible from it. A project then came along to improve the audio quality and volume and hence AudioHack was born.
* NO NEXUS SUPPORT EVER
v3.6
* Now includes Widgets!
* Please run app before widget
* App may require a restart

Nice idea. I installed it, tried IC2 and IC3 and neither seam to show a difference. Perhaps a more detailed guide needs to be created? Aside from your color chart, the rest is kind of foreign to me.

Interesting concept, care to explain a bit more about how this works (some have said they have noticed no difference) ?

100% working just flash the rom one more time and chk

cool man,I need sth like that for my subwoofer

Thanks, I'll be trying this out shortly.

Always wanted a louder speaker on Android. WM7 seemed louder with same mp3 as ringtone then Android.
This doesnt work for me. Any alternative??

Looked for "Audio Booster" in the Market. Nada. Does it have another name? Or should I look somewhere else?
Thanks.

any chance for some version for Nexus?

What a shame no nexus support :s

Does not work for me. I get an error message that tells me to restart the app, I do and i get the same message.

Working fine on SD Desire HD

I know this is posted in the HD2 section but when you say "NO NEXUS SUPPORT" are you referring to the Nexus One phone, or Nexus based builds?

They are saying Nexus builds are not supported and never will be. There must be something in those that is incompatible with this .

produces no effect on desire HD :-(
for those who have a phone with which it works, there is an update 4.1

Mods?

(MOD)(PORT)Beats Audio&Xloud(2.3+up) by RockoDev

RockoDev has ported beats audio to all gingerbread roms. Can anyone on gingerbread confirm if this works on our device? (MOD)(PORT)Beats Audio&Xloud(2.3+up) thanx

I confirm. It's working.
Currently using temasek's KANG BUILD P204-62

I made a better build with correct system mount that works on CM9(ICS)/Gingerbread:

Should I flash this or does it have any disadvantages?

OK, flashing went well, but I'm not sure that there are some benefits
There is no on/off, so it's hard to compare from memory

I don't trust it, but maybe I'll test it after a few reviews. There could be any disadvantages. I can't imagine this will make the sound really better...

You can hear the best improvement with high quality headphones! And with original Beats Audio one ^^ (But of course also with lower cost ones )

try it with the headphones, maybe there is some improvement.

Thanks for the zip, backing up now to flash it.

The audio seems to be much clear

confirmed too

I tested it now, too and the sound has really more power.

does the improvment apply only to music (speaker/headphones) or is the earpiece/headset quality also improved (call quality) ?

I don't know. The audio (music) isn't clearer only more bass. It's too much, so I remove it again.

How this works without replacing existing system files?
I recorded the sound via audio jack with and without beats audio mod to compare the differences. Audio levels and spectrogram are exactly the same...

I asked me that, too, but I don't know. Maybe it's only louder and so placebo?

It makes difference in headset when play music or video.

Yep, working great for me too

Well if not satisfied, there are other options for sound freaks - DSP Manager from CM is included in DjangoManouche 1.0, works great with (also included) Google Music. There is a free Equalizer app on Market. Even LG stock music player has some decent presets. Choices, choices...
Anyway, respect to fuss132

I'm on Temasek's Kang 69. Is there any difference whether I flash this or the original one from Fuss132?

The original port was by RockoDev. I have edited the OP and put the link to his thread. (RockoDev's zip file can be flashed on ICS too)
I am not sure whether this works or not. Supercurio has stated that it doesnt.
supercurio said:
Tested, with a precise and valid methodology I use in my work and reviews
All it does is strictly no change in audio output.
If you claiming you're improving sound quality while implicitly asking for donations (aka [Donate to me] button) I strongly suggest you to bring some elements supporting your assumptions.
I might add that by distributing random files and libs you're violating several manufacturers copyrights and intellectual property.

Audio is something special.
When you say there is an improvement, people tend to listen closer and perceive something different even if it doesn't exist.
That's called placebo.
All I'm asking is intellectual honesty in order to not abuse of this many times proven fact.
I also think placebo-mods are affecting negatively everyone's work and also the confidence XDA users have in developers.
The solution is simple: It improves audio? That can be measured then!
If you can't measure it, it means it does nothing.
Me, I measured, Galaxy S II. found it wasn't working. It's not an opinion or a critic. It's a fact.

[Q] Music rom with decent battery

So I love music and would like to know if there is a rom for music with tweaks etc I have an unlocked bootloader so kernels are not an issue ideas?
Thanks

Please post next time in the Q&a section. Thank you
To your question: what kind of tweaks are you looking for?

You could invest in a "Audioquest Dragonfly" USB-Soundcard, its known to work with many smartphones out there (SGS3,Note2...and so on).
It should make an extreme difference, as its basicly a high-end soundcard in a usb-stick formfactor.
I personally think the Xperia-Z Audioperformance with the default Soundcard is pretty crappy, i got a Dragonfly myself tbh. and its worth every penny (cost between 100-150$)
Sadly no english-speaking video out here, but just for the looks of it, check it out.
It seems to work out of the box with the Xperia-Z too.

Best audio mod?

I'm pleased with the audio quality on this phone but I'm wondering if there are any mods that make the audio through headphones even better?
I listen to music a lot so audio quality is very important for me

Yes, and there's only one /_\

Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for ✌

Well yes, there is.
Viper4android,that's the one.
However it runs only fully (with all apps supported) on 4.2.x and 4.4.2 android on xperia devices.
Installing it normally will also work, but note with four example tunein.
If you wanna test this audio mod and want to know more about how to do this, you may contact me.

Well you can only imporve the quality by software, you can't change the hardware, and that's what those mods do
So yes, I'm now using only Viper4Android app (not from the google play) with all of the audio effects (that also include the dowloaded add-ons, which are the most important part of Viper), but on Xperia devices I've used a special audio mod, that enabled Viper4Android for all of the apps (and probably changed audio by itself).
I've written some special tutorial how to install it on Samsung (as S4 needed a bit different mod).
You can use any of the files in this thread, as it doesn't matter for Xperia's. My target is always to get Viper4Android working, as it's the best audio mod I've seen until now.
I don't know which version of Viper You've used, but You should check out 2.3.3.0, as it has soo many options (remember to switch to advanced UI).

Never used dreamingonmusic, I don't even know what that is, but you always might give it a try.
It shouldn't damage the ROM, but to be safe, better make a nandroid backup.

[Solved] Port Bravia Engine from SONY

Hello everyone !
Before buy my Samsung Galaxy S6, i had a Sony C5 ULTRA.
The Video quality was AMAZING, but no way to root it :/...
So i've bought the samsung galaxy S6, and i find that it's an incredible mobile phone ! But the quality of the video was better on the C5.
I think it's Bravia engine ! Someone can port it ? or was it ported already ?
Thanks.

Nobody uses Bravia anymore. It was the most useless feature ever. The main difference was a sightly more saturated image over the standard one. You can have the same oversaturated output by tweaking your AMOLED panel in Settings》Screen. By the way the only way to install bravia engine is by flashing that file. I can't guarantee that will work because the last time I've flashed it was in 2012 for my Galaxy Note running Android 4.0.3. However, you can try it by making a backup so you have something to restore if anything goes bad.

I flashed a bravia mod two days ago as requested by a user, to incorporate into my rom. Though I never noticed any improvements so ditched it. Our video experience is fine on the s6

Woa thanks ! Introduction think it's dors toujours compatible :/ so solved !

Bravia Engie is not for 4+ ROMs, they are useless for those version, the egnine is old, even SONY don't use it anymore, it's incorporated on the graphic drivers for the xperia line.
