AOSP + DSP Manager vs Sense Beats "On" - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm probably in the minority here, but I REALLY enjoy Beats being turned on with Sense ROM's and I don't know if it's just an illusion but the music really does sound much more dynamic and impressive with it turned on. It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from dedicating myself to AOSP/AOKP.
So, I need to know if I'm going crazy or if the Beats software really is making that big of a difference. I wish I had an extra One with the same few tracks to test, but I don't.
In your experience, is Beats really making that much of an improvement, or has AOSP + DSP Manager been sufficient? Maybe an alternative to DSP Manager?

Beats extremely suck for electronic/rock/instrumental songs. They're pretty awesome for everything else Whether alternatives compare to it, no idea. Yet to unlock and root, gonna send mine back for a replacement for a faulty NFC chip~

In my opinion, beats is better

Transferring stuff? I'd rather have it working with no apps to make full use of it than to not have it working when the NFC system starts to take off more

All I listen to it's rock and beats sounds amazing with it. Just saying.

Not good at all
Just upgrade your earphone. Or maybe try use Poweramp app and set it equalizer to bass& treble. It'll sound perfect to me. No need for that Beats apks.
I dont think there is a way, but im sure there are equalizer apps on the market you can get to do the same thing.

but on the other hand, this phone just won't stop pumping out what we throw at it
and it still performs well under pressure from say like new software plenty of people said "couldn't" run on the older hardware ? lolz
This only works for Gingerbread devices. Unzip the files and put them in /system. Download the zip here.

Beats audio and Brivia Engine

Just wanted to know what so special about beat audio and brivia engine?
See a lot of ROM devs using these and have no idea what it offers.

i have something i want to share and i think its worth throwing out there:
i have spent the day researching beats and what beats actually does for HTC devices in general. honestly, i can now say that i have no urge to pursue implementing beats into the rom. the next build will be removing beats and adding in performance tweaks instead. here are a few of my reasons below:
1. beats ONLY works with the HTC music app. i would rather use google music/pandora for my music.
2. i would rather use an EQ tool and have an enhanced sound across the whole device and not on just the music app
3. based on various items i have read from several different sources, beats is just a gimmicky bass enhancer. nothing you cant get from a decent EQ.
in my research, its not worth it.

Brivia Engine don't know.
Isn't Bravia for better pictures?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
I never used EQ on my devices and never ever used the stock head phones that come with the devices either.
I prefer my own headphones rather then the crap you get with the phones. Never used by BB headset or my SGS headset and don't like the Raiders headset.
EQ is a gimmicky in my opinion that is not needed with good headphones.
Beats audio = Cool boot/shutdown animations.

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui
Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

I've been using this mod since I saw it on the portal the other day. (or twitter. I can't remember)
It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

Controlling Beats setting

Not sure if this is possible but if it is, I don't exactly know how to go about it. I'd like for beats to turn on only when I'm playing sound through the speakers. Not through headphones or through bluetooth. Only speaker. Whether in a phone call or YouTube. I imagine this could maybe be done through Tasker but I don't know how to go about it. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. At least not with the stock rom.
Mmm I figured this would be a tough one. If anyone has any ideas, don't hesitate to share

If you download pimpmyrom from the playstore you can install a beats equalizer. It's very similar to dsp manager.

Other HTC roms in the past have had a toggle in the statusbar. Although I found out recently that sound out of the speakers was actually lower with beats on. It did sound deeper but not as loud and it's a pretty noticeable difference. On the other hand it makes headphones louder as you'd expect. I did install the Wildman kernel do I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I didn't turn beats off until after I flashed the kernel.
its possible with Tasker.

Have you done it or know how? I've been trying but am not familiar enough with tasker to figure how to set this up.

[Q] Will Poweramp EQ damage HTC One Speakers?

Hi. I am new to this forum, and I am also new in the realm of audio, so to speak. I have a Sprint HTC One, and I don't really like the sound of Beats all too well. I was wondering if Poweramp's EQ would damage the phone's speakers or if it is safe to use. I plan on using the presets, and I just want to make sure it is safe before I purchase the application.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vobeyo
If you dont like beats, try turning it off to see if you like it better. If not, purchase poweramp and test it out for a few minutes. It shouldnt damage your speakers unless you over-do the preamp.
Thanks for the reply. Beats is all right, but it seems to only make things louder, not really better-sounding, if that makes any sense. Is there any control over the preamp in Poweramp? Please pardon my lack of knowledge, I am still learning.
Edit: I found the preamp control in Poweramp. If I turn it down will I be okay?
