Dear Santa:

Sounds are stored at /system/media/audio
to use a GUI app to manage them: AndroidCommander is recommended
btw, wrong section...

Thank you and I apologize for posting incorrectly! (Should this go in the General forum?) But I'm gonna try to squeeze in one clarification while I got your attention:
What I'm looking for is guidance on 1) how to add new sound files; 2) which audio formats "work" for each type (alarms vs. rings vs. motifs); and 3) what are the best android apps for editing sound files.
Yours,
Jim

[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.

That's strange for me then, when I play the tones as songs they sound much better than when my phone rings

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?

Its always subjective but based on the numerous players I've tried over the years Poweramp is the best overall. Neutron has better tweaks but doesn't sound as good no matter what EQ setting you try.

+1 for poweramp. Poweramp is the only music app that doesn't lag while playing FLAC files.
Too bad I can't incorporate viper4android settings into Poweramp.

Guess you meant "can't"? Well it took me a few tries but it's working with Poweramp on my phone with no issues. Try selecting "compatible" if you haven't already done that and uninstall & reinstall the driver. Did the trick for me.

This might seem out of left field but I've been enjoying the free and open source Vanilla Music.
It's quite basic but seems efficient and the interface is very responsive with large libraries. I like how you see a breadcrumb trail of your selectors as you navigate the library (hard to explain until you try it).
No EQ though.

I just use the built in player. In my case that would be Apollo. If you want to use EQ in any music you should install Viper4Android. It works for all Music apps and with android ringtones, notifications and whatnot.

Ive been using the trial version of poweramp which has since expired. i really like it and will probably buy the full version here soon.

The newest Viper doesn't have those options anymore. For the Exhibit you will have to select "High Quality". You will also have to use a 4.2 or 4.4 ROM to ensure compatibility. Make Viper a system app also so it doesn't get killed by low mem (use Titanium Backup, long press the Viper app and select "convert to system app"). Good luck!

Thanks for the reply,
From what I'm hearing are 4.3 roms not supported by the viper for 4.3 on this particular phone?

Viper doesn't work well with 4.3 at all, so avoid the Vanir ROM for this phone.

Hello!
I'm trying to use this app but i can't! I'm using this version: http://d-h.st/H4x or from the official thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296), Spirit Free September 18. But when i start the app it shows me a messagem from a danger speaker and i only have, "Cancel", and "Danger" options! No "Digital"... If i click "Cancel" it goes to a loading screen that never loads and if i config like some posts back i can't change the frequency. I'm using CM 10.2. Any clues?
Thanks! And sorry for my english...

Hi, has any of you managed to get spirit1 to output the sound to the phones speaker?
I tried selecting speaker as the output and also "clicking" on the headphones icon in the interface but all it does is a click noise and keeps playing the radio throught the headphones an not the phones speaker.
