[Q] eXtremeBeats™ v2.0 and 4XHD

Hi,
I stumbled across this cool thing in XDA.
It called eXtremeBeats™ v2.0, it's kind of a system wide audio mod that combined all of the cool music effects like HTC Beats Audio, PureAudio,
AwesomeBeats, Sony Clearaudio+, Clearphase and xLoud , Pon-3 Audio, Harmon Kardon Libs, Dolby Libs, eXtraBassLibs.
It kind of audiophile dream
Since it’s a mod that mess with system lib and u have to flash it, it have some compatibility issues and some users reported boot loops on some different phones and roms.
So….
I would like 2 know if anyone here tried it with our 4xhd ??
Thanks

it`s really another experience in sound on 4xHD but players needs to support most of this mods
make a backup of your ROM and install a mod, if not working flash it back ...no need to wait for someones test

[Q] Best Sound mods on stock rom?

Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...
So basicly im looking for audio mod that:
- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)
- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)
- Makes surround work again (--||--)
- As good bass without losing quality as possible
- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app
- Works on stock rom
- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.
- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)
I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !
I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.
Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !
Also im a noobie so i might need instructions i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP

@migidid
I'm gonna try to answer :3
1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA
2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD
3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.
4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer
5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD
EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3
EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD
EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD
6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted
7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD
8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3
I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3

Audio mods for Moto X

Hi all!
Are you satisfied with the sound quality on your Moto X? Especially when listening music with headsets.
Do you use any sound mods?
Want to share my thoughts about sound quality. On 5.1 sound is better then on 4.4.4. In both used PowerAmp.
Actually I don't like the quality of the sound on 4.4.4. Can you recommend any sound mod working on our loved Moto X?

You've some issues with your moto x or dunno....
The sound quality is terrible on LP due to the bugged sound module used, use external sound monitor and you'll find it for yourself.
On 4.4.4 In using the Walkman port with their own sound announcements and I find it to be the greatest out there ( to me that is )

I can't live without Viper4Android on any phone I have, because I like to customize all the settings depending on what headphones I am using. And it makes the music sound beautifully well...

Ok, I gave a try to V4A again and it works for me! Just set it to compatible mode.

Mine works fine on normal mode on LP.

Use SELinuxModeChanger and change from Enforcing to Permissive.
I understand that this soundmod do not work unless SELinux is in Permissive mode. Let me know if you need this apk.

I love my moto for listening to music. I use V4A too and can't imagine a live without it. The Moto X can play very loud too. I use headphones with 120 Ohm and don't need any external amping at all.

Did you installed BusyBox ?
I guess V4A also requires busybox.
This is what i did:-
1) Installed busybox from playstore.
2) Changed the SeLinux Mode form Enforcing to permissive.
3) Flashed V4A zip.
worked like charm.
I am on Ressurection Remix ROM but i guess this should work for Stock ROM too.

ok, guys.
I reflashed the 4.4.4 and tried Walkman port from there [PORT][4.1+][Update 2015/04/09] SONY WALKMAN™ | The Best Clear Audio Experience. I could say that version 3.1 worked for me. Version 3.5 fc's on start.
I didn't try to use V4A, so I can,t prove it works or not.
P.S. Make sure to have root and busybox installed. I didn't set Selinux mode to permissive, it works anyway

[JB_4.3-KK_4.4]_WALKMAN™_v5.1_CM10.2_CM11_by_ibanez7-signed.zip
This is the one Walkman port I use, it's not new but it works rather well, also you can update the walkman app itself if you wish. There is a initd script that you flash too for better output, which really changes only few things, that might not even be felt by a human, but either way, flash that too imo.

ok, thank you. I will give it a try later.

Phone speaker is AMAZING. Potential is hidden.

ROOT/Magisk REQUIRED
Well, in my hastiness to mod this phone, I did a couple things, namely Viper Audio FX Magisk module in Magisk downloads within the Magisk app, and dual speaker module for Magisk which you can get here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/magisk-stereo-speaker-mod-oneplus-6t-t3860041. I'm running the BOOSTED dual speaker now. Decided to see if my magical speaker config on Viper would give me results like it did on my 3T, and boy, it's a real surprise on this phone. The stock audio tuning on the speaker hides what it can actually do.
Now, you'll need the Convolver profiles for Viper Audio to reproduce my settings. You can get the profiles in this zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141554. It's under modules > profiles. Just copy the Viper4Android folder you find in there and store it. You will need to install Magisk with Viper Audio FX and the optional dual speaker mod for the 6T.
Once you get the Viper dual speaker modules installed, plug your phone into your PC and copy the Viper4Android folder you copied from the zip with the profiles, into the internal shared storage root. Close when done.
You can now open the Viper4Android app and enable speaker master, convolver, and speaker optimization switches.
If you click on Convolver it will take you to a menu where you can select profiles. Leave the knob that's next to the profile selector @ 0%. Make sure your main volume is down, because when you select the TUBEAMPLIFIER profile, the volume will boost.
Now you can enjoy rich, deep, sound from the very underrated speaker
----------------------------------------------------------
So I made another interesting discovery. I installed the latest Cleanslate kernel(version 2.7.7 is the latest from the date of this post) which you can get here along with the configuration(2.9.0) and companion(2.5.0) app, and in the configuration app it allows for tuning of the speakers(yes the earpiece speaker as well!).
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files...&sort_dir=DESC
I boosted the earpiece speaker to level 7 when I was using reduced dual speaker. Backed it down to 5 on boosted dual speaker, on the slider of the Cleanslate configuration app, and hit save. I think the damn earpiece speaker might be almost as meaty as the bottom speaker. It doesn't distort for ****, and the range of sound is astounding! I think we have a true second speaker for our phone, boys and girls! This is pretty awesome!
I paired it with my ViperAudio tweaks and the OnePlus 6T is now like a portable boombox, lol. I love this phone!

Followed your steps to chose the "Tubeamplifier and technics" profile. Let's see how much difference does it make. I will write my experience later.

Awesome. How do you like it? Those are just my preferences, so it's not limited to just that config. I just found it to work the best for the speaker. Reveals more low frequency in the speaker, while maintaining the nice mids and highs.

I wasn't expecting such a drastic change. I was playing a song on about half volume before applying the profile, tapped on the profile and BOOM. It was like the volume was turned all the way up, and sounded much more rich. Then I kept turning the volume up slowly to see where it would start distorting, and to my surprise it never did. Full volume is now about 2x as loud and sounds much much better. Whatever you did with that profile is a gamechanger.

I did nothing lol. Just a nice discovery I made fiddling with my old 3T and applied it here. Pretty dramatic result, right? Looks like OnePlus is sandbagging big time with the hardware. Luckily, our development community can take advantage of such wonderful hardware offerings.

Is it safe to use the earpiece like that? I've seen mentioned on Reddit that it might cause damage.

And that maybe THE reason OnePlus did not do it by themselfes. Why should they deliver something less powerful than possible?

Which dual speaker mod did you flash on the 6T? I couldn't find the mod specific for 6T.

Because overengineered parts are great for better durability. This tweak demonstrates the quality of parts that OnePlus uses on their phone, which seem to be astounding quality.

Based on the response, I'm going to definitely be downloading and trying this out. Though, I'll also probably upload the profiles to something else because that is a damn large file lol. I just wanna download to me phone?

It works! Great find! I kept the speaker optimization off as I don't enjoy low frequency on a mobile speaker.

i am not secure if everything i did, i did it right, applying TubeAmplifier volume difference is HUGE !

XtremeMusic app is the placebo app, guy who created it closed his thread on XDA. UltraM8 explained why his mod is bad. Basically he said that he put random props & libs that sounds good but they aren't working at all. Only RSSP Magisk module (removes Dirac) + Narsil mod with custom narsil_options + Neutron Music Player is a good option.
Also: If you're an audiophile, you don't want resampling and you want less audio processing as possible.
Here's the link for my custom user_options which I tested thoroughly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YK8uB-1zXzS5ekxev5F4O1j1uEjB3eWi/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for diff. angle of view to this..
My "finale dream" is only HW pure max power output with all new qcom libs but its look like i need to read.. a lot ..

Edit1:
Resample is really better off, thx.
Now i Removed Xmusic
Flash RSSP (not sure if want to disabke dirac)
I found NLSound Mod for Qcom devices and can say MustHave this ..
So now on: Narsil + NLSounds
Result sounds very difficult like much more of natural way pure deep sounds

Pure Snake Oil at its finest. The creator of Ainur Narsil has already explained in detail, why you cannot simply copy libs as they require reference to the appropriate hardware.
Besides, if you are a "true hi-fi" listener, you won't be using your phone as a source and would have a dedicated Receiver/Amplifier for that.

Edit2: Using Narsil and NL Soud with PowerAmp with as much as possible to natural pref. EQ settings... so 24bit/192khz is the max what we can get out by our 732g ? :/

AFAIK there is nothing above 192kHz. To be noted though that 192kHz is useless unless using audio processing (some reverbs and maximizers will work better at higher frequency but tat is about it), if you are only going for HiFi, 48kHz is enough (and so is 44.1, just go according to your source to prevent resamplig). 24 bits is useful in some cases though as higher bit depth allows finer passing of low level dynamics, useful in some cases to get a clean signal through.

I am aware that, however the person asking wanted recommendations for a USB DAC that could sample higher than that frequency.. A signal sampled at twice it's highest frequency component already has a bandwidth that contains all information.

Can i use this mod with 3.5 audio jack output i have tried all possible fix but i Always lose audio jack output when i install this mod only speaker work when headphone is inserted with all system sound, tiered installing via recovery as advised for 3.5 output but didn't work; I'm searching for a workaround advice to make it work.

Please close this one, thank you.
