Does anyone know if the devs will be able to add beats to the custom roms ? Or would they not be allowed to use it due to copyright crap ? Unless they make it a flashable zip and just list its for a new htc one not listing m7 or m8 ?

Beats is just an equalizer setting. There are already a bunch of options for that. Beats is a complete marketing gimmick.

What ever it is it makes the old m7 sound really good, and from the sneak video the m7 which has beats sounds way better than the new m8 which does not come with beats since HTC sold off their shares of beats.

Agreed... Had beats turned off on my m7

Anything Beats is horrible. Just jack up the eq settings until major distortion and you have BEATS!
they still have an eq setting in the m8, just not called beats.
the phone sounds pretty great imo
but beats being an eq setting, i'm sure it can be baked into a rom if desired

I just think the beats sounded really good on my m7 and the m8 from what I have heard does not sound as good. I guess I wont know until I actually get my m8 if freakin best buy ever decides to ship mine.

I've ran the full real beats audio for the last two days. I think it needs work.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
I hadnt seen this posted anywhere here. I found several threads where the OP had pulled this or links just went bad in other forums. From what i can tell, the first guy to make this happen was RockoDev. I dont know if he made this or if someone else did based off his work..just trying to give credit where credit is due.
That said , I have A/Bd this with the stock music app that uses Beats Audio officially...i then had the same song queued up in Play Music where i could multitask and hit play on both players that way i didnt have any pause in audio for my ears to readjust. And in my honest opinion this is the real deal.
I tested on a pair of Beats Studios , Yamaha NS10 monitors, as well as M-Audio BX8A reference monitors. Also tested in my car audio setup which isnt too shabby.
That said .. yeah guys this pretty much is just EQ . BUT , having a rather extensive background in audio engineering , i think there is an added component that doesnt get enough credit.. I believe they use some sort of software compressor that rolls off the highs as the source becomes louder , which helps reduce distortion at louder volumes and keeps that "full" sound even at capacity.
Well thats my two cents ... flash it .. bash it .. whatever
Take care guys .
Sweet. Gonna try it out
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
thank you sir wil try this out! I like the sound with Beats but I also added some 'custimization' using DSP manager to make it sound even better.
is this compatible for all Rome or is there limitations to this?
sent from my ICS flavored HTC Vigorous Vigor. If I helped please use the "thanks" option!
*SHOULD* be compatible with all roms on all devices running 2.3 and up.
I have tested it on
Rezound, Fascinate , Charge, Galaxy Nexus, OG Droid , and Droid 3 ... seemed to work on all those .

Not really... It flashes it to the file system, open the zip and check it out.
Then compare audio with your stock music player that you know uses it.
It doesn't just flash a bunch of useless files I promise .... Unless you find the beats effect useless... Then I guess it is

so i have had Awesome beats on all my other phones and wondering if i can get it on dna. i know it has beats audio built in but i liked the features and different sound modes in awesome beats. any way to get this app to tweak with beats audio?
I found a DSP manager that works, and as far as I can tell it's the same thing with a different logo. I'm not really sure. What I do know is that DSP+Beats amplifier+good headphones will rattle your friggin' brain. Seriously I was testing it and it got to the point where I told myself "this can't be safe." but it sounds awesome. It's like having subs in your ears. Anyways here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017647
Oh and if DSP and the Awesome Beats thing are in fact two different beasts, I'd recommend looking in the HTC OneX forums. That's where I found the DSP zip. It's gonna have some libs that you need too besides the apk, so if you do find it, it should be a flashable zip.

Got it works great thanks! Now to get on my note!!
Not an iPhone.....
Before you do anything, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download file and put it on the root of your memory
Boot into recovery (easiest method is using Quick Boot from Play Store)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Install ZIP
Wipe Cache/Dalvik and then Fix Permissions (for optimal results)
Reboot then you have the application!
DOWNLOAD:
Awesome Beats
THANKS TO:
-AdriVelazquez for the ZIP file and changing the ZIP to utilize the already existing (More updated) musicFX.apk and remove the DSP Manager portion.
-Cyanogen
-Beats
-nik3r
-mwalt2
-...Awesome...
-And anyone else I may be missing..
DEVELOPERS: You can use this to incorporate in your ROM, I did not make this so I take no credit for it at all, I just found it and tweaked it a little to best work with our device.
I've had this in the Sprint section for a bit but decided to throw it in here because it should work with your phone. Enjoy!
Thanks for this, _Epic. I appreciate any developments/mods that come out for our phone.
Nothing against you, but as a side-note - why aren't more people aware that Beats "technology" is nothing more than glorified equalizer settings? This mod sooner or later becomes available for almost every smartphone I've looked at and it's infecting computers now; this is in addition to those godawful headphones that apparently took 40% of the industry share this year. And people seem have no idea that you can accomplish the same or maybe achieve better results with a little bit of EQ and some knowledge? And worst of all, now this company (which is basically a big joke) has a reputation for solid, reliable audio quality, a reputation which should be reserved for high-end, established audio manufacturers like Sennheiser/Grado/manymanyotherswhoarenotendorsedbydrdreordavidguetta.
Seriously though, I mean no offense... and I appreciate the time and contribution, I just have a "thing" with that company.

If you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all... Regardless, people choose what they like, even if it's not the best its simple, no one really wants to mess with equalizer settings ok... They want it to just work... Besides you don't have to use this, anyways.... Great mod... Worked like a charm, don't even need to back up if you follow instructions right, might want to add that fixing permissions might take a while, some people might get impatient and decided to early reboot
Thrown up by my LG Optimus G, why you jelly at my superior phone?

The iPhone is nothing more than a glorified app launcher. People seem to buy plenty of them. It's simplicity to use is the same reason people enjoy Beats. I for one enjoy Beats because it makes better quality sound with a click of a button rather than having to **** with EQ settings that I have no knowledge of(nor do I care to learn about it.) To each his own right?

Yep yep I agree and certainly didn't want to start anything...mmm...maybe I could've picked a better time to add my two cents, and maybe I'm a little biased because my major passion in life is music and audio mixing...But yeah, if you like it, by all means.
And thanks again to _Epic for the contribution. :good:
So before I flash, can someone tell me how this works? Is it a system-wide effect to be used with any audio app? If so, does it also affect apps that already have their own EQ built in?
Thanks.

So this does nothing if you're running Nocturnal ROM. I have the sound enhancements ended for the "walkman" app and I see when I mess with the equalizer, it does stuff. But when I go into Beats, the equalizer doesn't do anything.
So either you can't have them both, or I'm doing something wrong. Even when I disabled Sony Walkman, it still didn't do anything.
