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.

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.

Dear Friend.
Thank you cause reply me.
I use 2 file this Beats audio (for Sony Ericsion Arc S)
1. mediafire.com/download.php?tnn4rz5tnj8agvf
2. mediafire.com/download.php?tnn4rz5tnj8agvf
I install 1. then upgrade 2. on Sony Arc S. it' work very good, sound better than original.
I try install them on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7", sound better so much, but Phone and Camera is problems, it can't start.
can you help me install them on samsung galaxy tab 2 7" 4.1.1
I try install some another beats audio for samsung, but result sound is not better or sound no change.
even i buy Beat Audio Pro on google play, them is very bad, sound not better.
I see only 2 file that above is best. Sound very nice. that's real beats audio by dre.
Thanks

My best guess is that they were built around the Sony platform. Anytime you flash something meant for one phone onto a completely different one, you definitely run the risk of breaking something! I will try looking at the files later and see what's up, but I'm leaning towards a comparability issue.
Just to give you more info.. the phones with built in Beats original programming have more than software. There's hardware to make it work as well. So software alone will not get you what you want. However, there are plenty of other options.

It's not the original Beats, but it works pretty good! It's a universal sound enhancement mod that is compatible with the Tab2. It may be just what you're after for improved sound quality.

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.

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).

Zenfone Laser2 ZE551KL - Sound Mod

The sound output from the headphone jack and Bluetooth is horrible. It doesn't go loud enough nor is the bass and/or sound overall any good. Great phone. Crappy sound. If I root is it possible to somehow change the volume settings on some config file somewhere? I remember for my past android phones some manufacturers would deliberately leave sound levels low.
Any help is appreciated.

Check out viper4android. It's in the playstore. I'm running it now and its great for that.

You have to change SELinux to permissive mode. You may do it with SELinux Mode Changer app, but you must also disable stock audio driver and select ViperFX audio driver Enjoy!

You're DA real MVP @Fiqusny
got it to work. I must say Asus built a great phone with a **** audio chip. Thank God for viper

Is not the chip. It's one of Asus apps, called "AudioWizard" and that can be turned off very easy... Viper doesn't do any special "magic" IMO.

I do have AudioWizard off, its still feels like something is artificially softening all the noise coming out of the headphone jack when I play music. With AudioWizard on, I can get the volumes a bit higher, but usually with some kind of distortion. It makes it hard to determine if the physical chip is actually limited, or if the built in ASUS audio drivers are to blame. I'd rather wait for a custom Rom to unlock my bootloader, but I might just do it to try Viper if it truly fixes the issue without distortion.

So I did the viper thing. It made a difference. But not by much. This is the only reason I want to switch back to an HTC.

Well, probably the audio chip inside is not the best piece of hardware. For normal mp3's is probably "good enough". If you are listening to flac files, and you really want to hear them better than this you may want to look into this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=android+dac
My personal fav is Audioquest DragonFly ver 1.2. Or you are a bass-head - HRT dSp.

That's disappointing. I find it crazy that this phone can have such bad audio hardware when all my old phones that are at least 4 years older are probably 75% louder. I mean, I know this is a "budget" kind of phone, but how much money can skimping on the audio chip possibly save them?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00TD using Tapatalk

@SoNic67 not a big fan of carrying around extra gadgets for sound. But no I haven't been listening to flac. I should try that out and see if that makes a difference. Good idea. @CKtheProblem is right. Even my old ass blackberry has better sound. That's all that's missing. It seems like HTC is the only way to go for proper sound. Kmn.

apple earpods isn't working

Apple earpods mic is not wokring on my oneplus 3t...the problem is with the mic. They don't work on calls, where as they are working fine with other devices...im on oreo beta 17...Are there any fixes available? Please let me know...thanks in advance!!!
Edit: a trick worked...move to second page and see the trick explained by @Shashank.446

A good indicator is the fact they are specifically designed for apple iPhones. Those earphones are unique to a phone a person purchased. They aren't plug and play type accessories. You might get them to work as headphones, but if you seriously brought yourself a set of $100+ apple iphone earbuds thinking they'd work 100%. I hope you kept a receipt.

Also building on what he said, you're on the Open Beta 17, which will give issues.
Why in the name of all that is good and holy, would you buy the Airpods, when many reviewers say that it's audio is meh.

Guys, he didn't post "Airpods" (the Bluetooth ones), he posted "earpods" which are the regular wired headphones. I assume the OP has this from a former iPhone. I would expect in that case the buttons don't work properly, but the mic should work. At least that is what typically happens in the case of earpods + Android device. So the OP's question is a valid one.

There's no flashable zip for this kind of purpose, since the system compatibility is required to be changed from AOSP sources. It's just incompatibility between Android and an Apple accessory.

I am having same problem. Upgraded to Oreo yesterday and noticed that my iPhone Earpods aren't working and producing only static noise. Have a Sony wired headset which is working perfectly fine. As I read above posts, looks to be not just with OP 3T, it is Google Oreo as such, which is really bad and annoying. iPhone headphones have noise cancellation microphone feature which is not announced upfront. It helps a lot in taking important calls without surrounding noise. When someone produces a good product, should ensure compatibility and not go against it. Note, it was working till Nougat and not working only on Oreo. Very annoying. Google you are getting bad in terms of attitude, if the message about removal of support from Oreo, is right

Found a work around
My apple earpods dint work too after the Oreo update on my Oneplus 3T (Mic and play/pause controls not working). While i was going through this thread, i was trying to understand what might be causing this behavior. Surprisingly found a work around for this problem.
You need to insert the earpods 3.5mm plug into the mobile headphone jack to a level (except one last click) and hold it there for a second or two, where you can notice the 'headphone with mic' icon pops up on the status bar. Give it a second again and push that one last click in. The headphone, mic and controls, all of them worked as expected, everytime I did this procedure. I've tested it tens of times before posting it here. This trick might work with android Oreo phones other than Oneplus 3T too but i have not checked. Plz do post it here if somebody gets to find out if this trick works for other phones as well.

Pretty sure he was asking whether it's Oreo overall (changes made by Google - regardless of the specific device) that broke the Earpod functionality; or something specifically done by OnePlus in the Oreo update.
