Why doesn't aosp roms have beats? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Like it says above this bothers me because I love aosp but the music isn't as clear as it is on sense based. I thought since the One has a Google edition Beats should be included. Can someone explain the mechanics please?

Think it has something to do with HTC and Beats having a contract and in that contract Beats is to be used in conjuction with HTC Sense. Pretty sure Google doesn't have that agreement so no Beats love for Vanilla/AOSP Android.

Beats is a brand for a separate company. HTC pays, in one way or another, for that brand.
If you get a GE ROM, you'll get beats. If you go pure AOSP, google does not pay for the beats brand, and thus does not include it by default.
Being that, in software, Beats is really just an EQ..You can emulate it with DSP manager or flash a number of beats zips floating around for AOSP.
If you want Beats-like sound in AOSP, just open DSP manager, and make the EQ look like a smiley face. Bring the lows up, and the highs up, leave the middle mostly the same. Adjust to taste, and you'll have, more or less, the software side of beats.

Is it possible to flash windows onto XL

I think someone may have made a thread on this before but i can't find it anymore, the title says it all really ... is it possible to put some form of windows onto the XL? I like the way it looks and feels after i used a windows 7 theme from the marketplace for a while but i want the proper thing
I know the titan has windows already and some people might just tell me to buy that ... but truth is i got no money
Thanks in advance

Well there are launchers like Launcher7, which I used a lot when I had SXL.
Also you will find a lot of apps that can either been themed to look like WP7 or things like metrosms is a wicked WP7 SMS.
I don't know of any other way I am afraid.
Both windows and windows phone are propriatary operating systems. Porting them would pretty much be piracy, thats why this website would never support such a project. anyway even if XDA would allow it, would take the best devs in the world about a million years to even attempt such a task

Thanks for the replies guys was just a curiostity of mine
Edit: one other question, i can get a w7 theme and metrosms looks good as a w7 SMS but do either of you know of a w7 lock screen? I must say iv never really like the HTC unlock method lol

I would tink you vould get some kind of windows running if you can get a kernel that supports looped devices, have a look at how people run full blown linux on their android devices with vnc and loop back, i use it on my galaxy tab and it works ok, dont see why you couldnt get windows running. If you have a license you could it this way legally!

[Q] Can you force Beats Audio on for ringtones etc?

Hi guys and girls,
My question is exactly what the title says, can you force beats audio to always be on for what your ringtone/ notification tones.
I've had a search on here but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure it is applied if beats is already enabled... I can hear the difference in my ringtones when i turn beats on/off.

I think that's a completely different issue. The difference between beats on and off is not as drastic as when you set a song as a ringtone and when you play it from the music player. I noticed how crappy it is too, but don't know why it's like that. I actually found this thread by doing a search for a fix, but no help so far.
Maybe dragging and dropping music files from your computer via USB to their respective locations would work. I'm sure the problem is in the mp3 to ringtone format conversion process.

Well if you can make a lightweight app that plays a silent sound in the background at all times (enabling beats 24/7) then it should work. That's the only way I've found to get it working.
It will cause battery drain though....how much exactly I don't know.

It will make the phone not go into deep sleep... This is a lot of battery drain i think...
There must be a trigger to enable beats with every sound.... But i dont know where to find it.
If we make the apk responsable ( dont know wich maybe prizm.apk?) A user app. Would this change something?
Every other app downloaded is using beats and these are all user apps.
How can we change the system apps into user apps?

System apps use beats too. I moved a few apps to system to see if any difference but no.
My guess though would be to try and mod the audio policy.conf
Or maybe mod the htcmusicenhancer.apk

In the audio policy.conf i didnt find anything that could enable beats. I dont have the tools to edit a apk file.
Opening the apk file with a zip extractor didnt gave me the result i would have. Coudnt find something that had to do with beats also.

Could be a framework thing but I haven't taken the time to decompile the One's framework yet. Other than that I got nothing. I asked over on the ViperOne thread to see if it could be added into the rom. Now to wait and see if the dev can/wants to do it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one interested in seeing this happen wish I could be more help but I know nothing about war you's are talking about haha

Definitely looking for this feature as well. Even for me, who's not really good at distinguishing music quality notice how different the music plays as ringtone and in Music Player with Beats On.
I've noticed this before too. I also noticed that, on maximum volume, the phone plays ringtones louder than music. I think the phone makes ringtones sound worse (through reducing bass) so it can play the ringtone louder than it would play music, and not have distortion.
I don't think there will be a solution for this...
I have modified my custom ringtone a bit so it sounds nicer then before. So I can live with it.

Well since Beats is just and equalizer app, how can we edit the mp3 manually to fit the same options as Beats use?

[Q] Stock Android 4.2 for regular HTC One

Would it possible to "officially" put stock android 4.2 for a regular htc one (not the google edition).
Or stock android comes only for htc one google edition?
I think so yes. There are rumors HTC is going to give early buyers of the One a chance to make it a Nexus Experienced device. That's because there will be a Google Edition of the One soon.

Sure, when the Google Edition gets stock android, it can simply be ported over to us Don't know why you'd want it though!

Rom Wish List / Idea

Now that I have root, and can at least flash zips through OpenRecoveryScript, I have been thinking about what I want out this rom, but got me thinking about an idea. While we have kitchens in the past, I do not think anyone has ever done a web-based kitchen. i.e. select the options you want on a web-page and it compiles the zip in the background and then lets you download.
This has been done for years in the programming industry for frameworks (jquery, etc)..
Anyways... Here are some ideas of my dream rom
Options
carousel mode
Screen on with text
Remove HTC apps (Blink Feed, Kid Mode, etc)
Remove stock apps (Mail, browser, etc)
Remove all languages except one you use
Move Google apps outside of /system/ that way they can be added and deleted as needed.
Remove live wall papers
Add common community apps such as Wi-F Tether, etc
Basically build a base rom with the stand rom featuers, zip-aligned, de-odexed, tweaks, etc...
I know alot of this is an option with AROMA installer, but by doing it this way, it makes the download that much smaller.....
Thoughts??
I vote we go for kernel source and get CM, omni, carbon, cfxperiment ect going Personal opinion
I'll add to the list
Alternative (or combine) LTE/Spark icons
Alternative battery icon with %
Remove NFC icon
Xposed Installer
Exchange Security Bypass
I would love a Bad Boyz rom for the m8,it was great on the m7.

Well, for stock, I'd love everything removed that you could get from the play store, and a folder separate with removed apps if you wanted them.
Aroma is cool and all, but takes longer than this method.
Configurable buttons and long press options.
Oh, and an amazing kernel!
I made a stripped down rom for the gs3 called BareBones and I'll probably make a similar rom for this phone as well.
Beanstalk, my dd from the jewel. But it is CM based so we need that first.

auto hide soft keys - like when you launch the camera app.

Dude, I remember you from the Evo 3D days. I see you're still trolling around....
For what its worth Myn now has a HTC one M8 and may start developing again. For those that remember Warm rom will know his work quality. He is on VZW now but I will try to help as much as I can with mine. Him coming back to HTC is what motivated me to loose the Nexus 5 and return to HTC.
I would like to see the app drawer smooth scroll instead of by pages....I hate haveing to stretch for a icon at the top of screen when I could have had it in middle or more accessible

Ugly Everald green with new update for HTC One

Well I've tried to search everywhere and play with every option on my phone I have an HTC One m7 they just did an update today on my phone and there's this ugly ass emerald green everywhere and I can't find the option to change it or get rid of it or revert. Any help guys?

Oh here's my software info so others be warned about downloading the OTA update

Yup I hate it too, why they would choose that colour as standard is beyond me, that's why I will only use a custom sense 6 rom where you can change all of that.
Anyway, go to settings - personalize - themes to change it for now.
or you could root, download xposed installer and then sense 6 toolbox to change it, a bit more complicated though.
Yeah I did that I selected the thing that has black in it and a picture of a frozen um evergreen branch or some ****. But still everything I touch is highlighted in green and all of my contacts that don't actually have pictures have big ****ing square green patches on them. You know I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing. I usually end up doing it toward the end of my contract that's usually when the phone starts ****ing up to. But I love this phone so much the way it is. Trust me a time will come and overclocking along with free wifi for everyone. **** sprint they can lick my balls. It's better than a iphone but we're not there yet the fellas.

Yeah I had Viper ROM on my htc evo 3d I liked it I also liked the CyanogenMod. But to tell you the truth I prefer the stock look. But I like the overclocking and the access to WiFi sharing. You know I noticed the more and more you mod a phone it's like an addiction he keeps throwing **** from everywhere together little bit from here a new skin from there. I knew kernel from another place then you flash the radio. And then you end up with a hodgepodge. And then you brick your phone lol

Welcome to the world of wanting your device your way. Either flash a rom or redo the hundreds of xml and image changes to get rid of the green.
Well I decided to call HTC and ask them about it and I told them I've been a customer with them since the hero and then the HTC EVO 3d and now the HTC One m7 and I explained the situation and they basically told me well it's all part of sense 6 and there's no way you could take it out so you're SOL. So it looks like a rooting I will go thanks for all the support guys

Good old customer services, so customer aware and helpful
You can change the theme in Sense 6 in the Personalise menu, not that I ever did as I quite like the green but I've gone to GPe
