Equalizer apps don't work - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was looking for this kind of thread but I wasn't able to find one.
So, here is my question:
I tried a lot of different equalizer apps on a lot of different (sense based) roms but there was no working equalizer app.
I installed PureXAudio but would like to modify the sound on my own.
Is there at least one app that I can use?
:banghead:

you could use poweramp from google play it is a player but has built in equalizer its very good with purexaudio

Well, Poweramp seems to be the only one who does the job.

[Q] DSP manager on other roms

one of the features i like the most in cm7 is DSP manager app. does someone knows a way how i could get it on other roms, or is there an app that provides the same settings?
Just copy /system/app/dspmanager.apk and /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogendsp.so from CM and paste both at same path in new rom. I use it that way and it does work

I installed DSP Manager comes from CM7, and the dynamic range compression doesent work. Everything else works great...
My tracks sounds very good with dynamic range compression on CM7. Actually what is it doing? And how?
Nice bump

BUMP!, one of the features that keeps me in CM7 instead stock based roms... Stock based have alarm/stopwatch/timer/ in one place, divx official support and HDMI auto/1080p/720p/480p/etc... + I love colorized android settings
Any suggestion how to import these features (including full DPS with dynamic range that makes music sound awesome) that whould be great indeed.
any apk available?

I'm also trying to get dynamic range compression to work for DSP manager. I installed the .apk from CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy player YP-G70 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and all DSP features work except Dynamic Range compression. Does anyone know if it needs to be flashed as a ROM to make it work? My device is rooted, however there is no support for it for CM7 yet. I get no responses to this question when I post on the Cyanogen forums, most likely because my Samsung device isn't supported and I'm being ignored.
Yes, yes I know, everybody hates Dynamic range compression, "It's destroying music" blah! blah! blah! But there are many times when it's needed, especially on small devices like android phones and PMP's. Listening to music, movies and video clips on these devices in noisy environments, or on small speakers can be difficult to hear the quieter passages of the content. then of course when the loud parts come in, they blast the speakers or headphones with distortion. I cant believe there aren't any Android apps out there to address this situation. Anybody know of one that maybe isn't on the android marketplace?
May be,
DRC feature of DSPManager is framework integrated. Check CM Vs stock ROM's framework

I tried it on the CM7 firmware and it didn't work any better than when I hacked it into the stock firmware. Specifically DRC, the rest worked fine except for the EQ which crashes (FC) on the stock firmware. Not sure why.

Sound quality

I generally feel that the sound quality through headset on Sammy roms are crisp and clear than on cm9 or aokp roms, I just require user opinion on this
THank you
Might be due to DSP Manager on CM9. Turn it completely off as it doesn't work really well right now.
Sound IS better on CM9, and I want to know why... and apply that to an stock rooted ROM...
I've been searching and searching, I've installed DSP Manager on an Stock rooted rom XXLA1/XXLC1 (DBT) and it sounds exactly the same.
I start the app, and it doesn't require root permissons, and is not listed on the granted apps on SuperUser...
How can we improve sound quality, the same way CM9 rom does it?

Use PowerAmp to play music. It's the best music player right now. The equalizer and tone control it very good for me to play music.
I've used it for several weeks, but the sound quality I can achiveve is MILES away from the sound out-of-the-box that CM9 provides... That's the reason of this topic...
By the way, what are the values you put on PowerAmp Equalizer?

Post your recomendation, settings, question or something else.
Original Viper thread is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 but it contains 500+ pages.
Viper really much improve sound quality and interpretation in stock player and speakers, but if you using PowerAMP, you must play with a settings, but for listening from speakers, stock player is better for it.
Not working

I tried installing both the xHiFi & FX version, but the driver installation failed. Which CPU mode did you use? How much improved sound you get, given the already excellend pair of speakers on HTC One?
Thanks

V4A already working for ARHD 40.1 Android 4.4 kitkat??? pls confirm
Does not work for me
I've got a Verizon one, but I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to change anything in the sound. I also turned off beats, but still nothing. Maybe it doesn't work with the stock music player.
Can't get it working on SkyDragon Sense 7
Hey,
Viper don't want to work on my m7. I tried all:
Got latest SU binaries, got busybox, set SEL Linux to permissive,disabled NuPlayer, tried other versions, different setting and different kernel. But I just can't get it working.
I really appriciate your help, I can't live without Viper

EQ: know this mod?

anyone knows the audio mod has a music equalizer, which is a box where you choose according to the position selected that type of EQ you want to have?

So do you want to use an Equalizer app? Then try this one... it has good ratings on Google Play Store...
If you want to use a 3rd party music app with built-in equalizer then try either PowerAMP or MortPlayer... :good:
Or if you were talking about Audio Mods then try searching for Viper4Android... I heard that it improves Music and Audio Quality but I never got the time to test it

thanks for the recommendations! but what I want is a mod no one apk to equalize. thanks the same!

I want to run GE or AOSP...but audio SUCKS!

Hi guys,
Can you help me find a ROM that suits my needs? I am going nuts here. I have flashed that many roms and I am just tired of it. I haven't actually found one that I actually enjoy.
First of all I want a rom that is preferably GE or AOSP with lots of customisation. For example I loved this rom by dirty unicorns found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314807
This ROM is pretty much everything I look for in a ROM...however I am getting really bored with the One at the moment. Especially because I care about audio, and I just feel like no developer has really come in and developed a all you need, kick ass audio mod for the One.
In this rom above audio is absolutely HORRIBLE. At full volume it distorts and through headphones it does not sound as good as with sense. But I don't want to use sense.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Ultimately I'd like to use that ROM with good audio and if possible boost the sound ever louder (that's another thing, these speakers have dedicated amps but no one has figured out how to boost volume levels at hardware level?). Any audio mods/things that I can do to get the sound quality and volume back up to par with sense? This rom doesn't come with beats audio...possible to install it?
Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using viper4androidFX. Its a pretty good audio mod I use on ARHD GE edition. Sadly Zeroinfinity isn't making purexaudio for AOSP and only Sense. Its a godly audio mod, but only Sense is a no go.

Yes I have. The problem is that your GE edition comes with beats audio, so your audio sounds half decent. The dirty unicorns rom I am using doesn't have beats audio, and what seems like all the aosp audio files (which sound horrible).
I don't want to lose this rom, but I don't want to live with this audio either. First world problems hey haha

While running vibermod4android you turn Beats off since you don't want to modify an already modified audio stream. It works perfect on all Roms

I have beats off even though im on GE. Beats switch is just an equalizer preset, nothing else. Technically you could replicate the exact same sound with the equalizer built in to any music app, or viper. Like altimax98 said, it should be turned off anyways because modifying something thats already modified isn't too sensible. Especially if you were to say use another device, and wanted to replicate the exact same audio no both. Copying settings from one to the other would have them sound the same but with beats on, your throwing a modification on to a modification.

Yeah, no I understand that all but I still can't fix my sound on this AOKP rom?
I have installed V4A except I don't think it is doing anything... I downloaded the convolver pack so I can set custom IRS still does nothing. I wonder if I set it up properly?
All I did was install and then that was install busybox, install v4a as user app. then run it and install drivers. it said drivers isntalled but it didnt let me selected cortext a8 or those type of options. weird. Now the app seems like it does nothing for sound.
Any ideas?

Are you using dsp compatible app? (google music player, or my fav Shuffle +)
And fx just asks for power save, high quality or best sound drivers. Doesn't ask for processor specific, that's xhifi only.

I've gone from Sense to GPE and (this may be placibo) but i actually find the straight SQ of the HP really, really good/ better than when i was stock.
I tried the Viper mod when using the SIN rom, didn't like it, tried the others (nooze, etc) and concluded that all of the sound mods are simply DSP's and don't actually make the SQ from the DAC any better. They simply change it. I'm back to the pure sound from GPM without EQ and i think it is magnificent!
My tip would be to do a full clean install of your current GPE rom and disable/uninstall Viper etc and run unfiltered/EQ'd for a few days to get your ears used to the sound (Ears burn in to music as much as equipment) and then judge. Also, using good earphones is probably the best thing one can do to improve SQ. The earphones included with the Phone are suprisingly good imho.
YMMV
