Is it possible to port/build HTC One's stock Beats Audio to an AOSP rom? Some have pointed me to DSP manager and/or Codex Sound, but I find those to be far inferior to the stock Beats....no comparison whatsoever. Any help on doing this would would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone at least know where to find the files in which Beats Audio resides?
You can use ViperFX or something like that. I forgot the name. Hold up... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Yea, that's the link. That MOD is pretty good when it comes to equalizing music, but it's not good for speaker equalizing. Mainly because it's suited for all phones so it doesn't want to blow out phones with weaker speakers. LoL!!
Sorry, but I can't help you with your 2nd question on where Beats is located. What if it's in the HTC Framework? I'm not too sure how all that works, so I'm just given ideas on location.
Here is the 'Beats' apk and also it decompiled.

Google universal beats zip or something along those lines. It's a common mod for other phone like Samsung or moto

Use awesomebeats.

Or wait till a GE AOSP dump and flash it since it has Beats enabled all the time

Google DSP manager beats settings and you can set a custom EQ to sound like Beats. I personally used that when I was running CM and it sounded just as good as the stock.

That might be a waste of time as the stock Beats files probably require Sense files to work off of.

Thanks to you all for your advice! Much appreciated! I tried adjusting DSP and codex and I can't get it to sound nearly as good as Beats on a Sense rom even with suggested settings that are meant to replicate Beats. I listen to a lot of music & LOVE beats; I also LOVE the customization and freedom AOSP roms deliver but have never been able to get the best of both worlds yet. I'll try awesomebeats and the Beats apks....and if all fails, I'll try killman's suggestions again and report my findings. Thanks again all!
Hi, its been said that the Google Nexus edition comes with beats as standard, so whenever it plays sound it is benefitting from beats. Obviously we won't know until its out but there's something to think about for the future
Because AOSP does not have the beats interface standard there is no switch like sense

I got the OTA update and went to youtube to see what new features I could play with and half of the things on the video are not on my phone like the people app and the way it works. I was just wondering if it because I have sence on my phone.

yes, its because sense is different than stock ICS. eventually there will likely be a ROM with stock ICS, but for right now you won't have the people, messaging etc apps like stock ICS.
well I am one of the few (i guess) that likes sence and I will prob stick with it. maybe sence 4.0 will help integrate some more function into it. I really like Beats I know somepeople say you can get the same sound out of a audio program or eq app. but I have yet to find one that gave any where near what i get with beats.

I actually really like sense. That's the main reason why I buy HTC. Coming from the most bland device out there iPhone sense is great.

I actually agree. I think beats is awesome. I don't wanna have to download an equalizer app and tweak settings
Same here. I know there are plenty of people who have a shopping list of reasons why they hate Sense but it really stands out to me. If but for no other reasons I like to use the FM Tuner feature on my phone and the NON-Sensers can't drop an app name that will do that. And sure it will drain battery life but is this device really going to last THAT much longer? Nah. I'm sticking with it.

Hello,
I just found out that when you switch the "Beats Audio" off in settings, you don't actually get a flat EQ. When you have it off, it EQ's the sound to drop the lows and highs, so that when you turn it on, you think, "That sounds so much better!" I'm an audiophile and this pisses me off. Does anyone know how to completely uninstall Beats Audio? Is it in the kernel?
Thanks,

I too hate "Beats Audio" and would also like to remove it entirely it from my system.
Have you tried a ROM cleaner? I've installed a few ROMs that do not have Beats, but none were completely functional.

I would honestly love an AOSP or CM or AOKP ROM, but the only thing I would miss is the Sense 5 camera. It has too many features to give up. That's why I want to know how to uninstall Beats. It's probably as simple as changing a few system files, so if anyone knows what to do or where to look, please post here!
Try disabling HTCBeatsNotify if it exists. That should do something.

Couldn't find it. But it may be somewhere.
I tried digging through a bunch of folders to find files with "beats" in the name. Found this: http://www.motion-coding.com/web/contact/uninstall_beats.pdf . Only some of the files I found not in the folder they say but in /etc. I deleted the ones that existed there and nada. I also found one file with beats in it in the /system/lib and deleted it and nada. I also tried unarchiving the settings.apk from system/app and seeing if I could find something to do with beats. I found this in the AndroidManifest.xml.
"com.htc.permission.useHtcSoundProfileServices-com.htc.permission.useHtcSoundProfileProvider"
Dunno if it has anything to do with beats or what you're supposed to do with it. This seems hard to do. But I'm sure it's possible. Someone with experience please help!

I think htc music enhancer is the beats, I'm not sure if deleting it gives you the flat eq or the cut eq..

Tried deleting that from /System/App and it did nothing. :crying: I think that just has something to do with the stock Sense music player because it has the same logo as the music app.

I never specifically stated that I hate beats or anything to that effect. I simply want to be able to choose whether I have my music corrupted or not.
And, you don't hear how it detrimentally affects your music unless you listen through quality headphones.
Bump.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Anyone?
Are you sure that having Beats off cuts the mids and highs? Because when I turned it off they were appreciably better, although that could be a) the headphones I was using and b) that the bass boost on Beats is much too much for certain types of music and so even if it does boost the mids and highs you don't notice it.
I think that it does although there is no way to know for sure, but I still would like to completely remove it.

Just keep it off. Or you can use the Phillips Headset app! It actually works quite well in conjunction with beats if you put the right settings

Beats is a gimmick by making the OFF mode sound like garbage and the "correcting" what it messed up in the on mode. I ran a file consisting of pink noise through it and can honestly say the off mode does exactly what the OP says. For this reason Alone I will not update my AT&T GS3 to KitKat via the new OTA. It has the Beats Audio virus baked into the ROM and I haven't figured out to scrub it from the ROM. Not only can I not scrub it but it renders the far superior Viper4Android FX useless. I will not buy a phone that has Beats preinstalled... Ever.

This method that i used works but in order for this method to work you should have taken a backup of the following before installing the beats audio driver backup with twrp and when you want to uninstall the beats audio driver just restore your backup with twrp it worked for me
your backup should contain the following before installing the beats driver
1) system
2) efs
3) modem
4) boot and
5) recovery
i cant guarantee you that it works
if you want to try this method you can but your responsible for the damage of your device try it on your own risk
i am not responsible if anything happens to your device
Has any one found a way to make the speakers louder yet? I tried the loud patch, doesn't change much. Volume sits around 81db, I am running renovate 4.1 & EX 3.4. I notice power amp works to up volume a bit, but I listen to Google Play and slacker, none of the apps on the play store work that I have found.

Not sure as to what would help your situation there, but I am running AOSP Android 4.3 on mine, and I actually have to keep mine from playing full volume, because it starts distorting, and I don't want to blow the speakers. The only thing I did to it was to as that purexaudio mod on mine, and it is really loud. That might help out a bit. There is a forum on that, I'll have to dig around for it. It's also a really good mod for audio quality. Worked well for me.

Beats audio already exists in the operating system. You need to be rooted to edit the default.xml file to change beatsaudio=false to =true. There is a thread explaining how to do it in the General Sprint HTC One (M8) forum. I've tried Beats, Harman Kardon and Boomsound, and they all sound the same. I suspect you are just not going to get the same bass out of the speakers as you did from the M7. Seems to be a hardware issue, not software.
The lib files for beats are not there.

It's just one lib. Pull it from the M7.

Surprised to see this posted here. Had flashed this on my Moto X. Don't think HTC M8 really needs this but I may try this on SlimKat
