Exactly, it highly compressed the dynamic range of whatever you are listening to. The fact you are using Beats headsets probably hides the negative aspect of what we are describing. It makes the high and lows sound like mids, which is funny as it is supposed to "boost the bass".

Like others have said, every audiophile has laughed at beats as entirely marketing bull by HTC and Monster. Ill stick w/ DSP Manager, Volume+ or PowerAmp for my EQ needs, but feel free to stick w/ XE ROMS. To each's own.....;)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ive removed system-wide beats from the OP entirely, as its unstable and unique to the base ROM.
[HTC Sensation] kelvin_27_84:
i cant flash it to my ARHD 3.6.8 Sensation.. It say error and abort (0)..
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Use my Beats Audio XE mod confirmed working in the themes and apps section, page 2 I think ;)
[HTC Sensation] kelvin_27_84:
Wow.. thanks.. but i flashed and my phone didnt seem to start.. i reflashed the stock rom again.. i noticed 2 files.. which to flash?
[HTC Sensation] lyrical1278:
I would have to agree also. I have a pair of klispch and they sound horrible with beats but sound great when I use Volume+. Beat has too much bass for me
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You can't flash the mod on a stock ROM because of the permissions unless you use the EddyOS stock rooted Rom, it isn't my fault as lots of people use my mod but this is the first report of the flash failing
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
No reason to flash, that ROM already has beats pre-installed. You will probably break the built-in beats
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Sorry, but I dont provide support for these files , as stated in the OP. Also, no one cant help if you dont provide any information. Stock 2.3.4, Stock 2.3.5? The only file modified is HTC Music, so there are no files that would prevent your phone from booting/ Sorry, but cant help w/ no info

That being said, I dont recommend or support these files anymore. AS stated before I much prefer PowerAMP, Volume+ or DSP manager for EQ settings. I've left this thread open for reference purposes.
[HTC Sensation] gotbst05:
Is this only for the Sensation or will it flash to any 2.3.4 rooted device?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
only for sensation because of the config files and apk's
[HTC Sensation] iconias:
so these beatxxx.zip filesare only for sensation? I have an Evo3D, so it won't work for me?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I dont think so, you could always flash and try to find out but you do this at your own risk and i would recommend doing a Nandroid backup first
[HTC Sensation] LittleMerc:
I saw from Leedroid post that there are people who do not feel any difference between no effect option and dolby... And for your info MarlinFF, the difference can of course be felt between the former and SRS option...

I changed my rom to IC 2.4.2 and its the same... So i guess the settings in Dolby is still not properly done... Anyway hope the Dev will sort it out somehow!~ :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] catohagen:
How does this work with bluetooth headsets ? im using sony MV600 bluetooth

headset, so no physical heatset are plugged in
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I have a Samsung HM3700 bluetooth headset and I can hear a difference, at least in Google Music.

On ARHD 3.0.4

[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
Can anyone whip up a system wide beats toggle app? Possible?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
after trying this through AUX input in my car, I personally think SRS Enhancement sounds much better
[HTC Sensation] ddizzy81:
This mod is making my phone have black screen during incoming calls.....how do I take this off my phone without having to wipe data...(I did the cwm way not system wide)
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Reflash your rom in cwm. you wont lose any data
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Unfortunately, known issues w/ system-wide beats.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Its in the works, the author of the HTC Music mod is actively working on the project. If you look at the google code page, you'll notice they've been working on a "beats" toggle

Nope, this was not dumped, this was modded. I dont think we have a Sensation SE "Beats" dump yet. The Ruby app, something to look into.....thx

Havent had that issue on my end, anyone else?
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
cant find Dolby mobile sitting !

only 3 options :no effect , SRS , and Eq
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ur version is almost identical the the version on the OP. There are No differences between a "sensation" version and the one pulled from the evo3d, it's like comparing aosp music between devices, there's no point... They r the same. If you have some code that shows differently, please share but you've refused to share anything about what you did (see how I show exactly what was done in the op). I can't recommend people use it cause u state its the "best", cause u won't share why it's different, if at all. If urs is simply using the code in the op, there is no difference. If you used another method, please share so we can benefit from the knowledge.

It's not a secret how this mod is done, so please share what you did to the apk. Your source may have asked u to keep

Quiet, but he didn't do anything revolutionary, so no "secrets" to protect.

PS, there are no sensation "beats " special edition dumps yet so you can't say ur version is what will be included. It could be a completely different than this "hack". Please don't confuse people saying urs us the best without any explanation and by saying it's what will be included with the beats sensation, when u have no way to confirm. Thanks

Just saying.....
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
whats all the hype for this is already included in coredroid before you post this or this thread
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
No arguments, I am just trying to expand the knowledge base about this mod. Unfortunatly, since you refuse to share how you modded you APK, I cannot recommend it to anyone. Although I understand why you wont share (as your source asked), it makes no sense and doesnt benefit the community. Its totally your choice to keep it "secret" but the mod is not and is documented above. I'm positive you did nothing revolutionary which requitres such secrecy (like AlphaRev does to protect its method of unlocking), but you are free to do as you please.

In the meantime, please dont go stating "its the best, hands down, no matter what" and "its exactly like the Sensation Beats version" when you have no way of showing that and refuse to discuss the differences with the version and code I posted in the OP. The "beats" software is already built into the Sensation, so you are doing nothing but enabling it, again...nothing that hasnt been dont before and SHARED for the benefit of others.

I appreciate you bringing this mod to public attention, but you aren't doing anyone any favors by "hiding" your hack.

Again, no argument at all:)....I just refuse to acknowledge your version is better\more feature-laden when you downright refuse to explain why IN TECHNICAL TERMS (meaning, not "its made for the sensation). Should you change your stance, I'm more than happy to compare the two and discover which is truly better, if there are any differences at all. This is about collaboration to improve our device, and sharing knowledge so others learn as well
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
I don't "see" a difference in this app. Is that ok ? I thought there was something with dolby mentioned
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
I too hear almost no difference w/ Dolby enabled, so I think the toggle is broken for the moment. This is a work in progress, so its to be expected
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
I mean I don't have dolby toggle! I installed the app with es file explorer . Bit nothing happens it seams ?!
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Will the system wide beats go away with a full wipe? Or do you have to manually disable it even after a full wipe and clean flash of a new ROM?
[HTC Sensation] amorek13:
no difference on beast rom v2
[HTC Sensation] Jimx2:
System wide beats seems to work on insert coin 2.4.2(2.3.5)
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Wasn't going to try this because I don't like htc's music app, if there was a modded one that could change songs using the volume buttons then itd be perfect. Anyways moving on I tried it to contribute to the thread, on superlite 1.3 the sound difference is huge. I don't have a fancy pair of headphones awaiting some bose that are being shipped so I used my car which has a pretty good audio set up :), on the dolby setting the vocals are louder the bass hits cleaner and louder, its an instant difference the equalizer setting really turns up the base even louder but unlike the dolby setting takes away the effects that let you distinguish every little sound in a song. The normal setting is just normal sounds the same as playerpro but over all a good mod I'd like to see a working system wide version without bugs good stuff really pissed off my neighbors shook there walls for a couple mins lol =P.
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Thanks for your work at least man it works great
[HTC Sensation] Dblfstr:
My ROM is not a sense ROM. SO will this still work for me?
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Not sure, as it an HTC feature, it may require an HTC sense based phone. HTC Music MAY work but I cant guarantee.

PS Just to clear the air, this a "non-official" HTC Music mod, as nothing modded can be "official" :rolleyes:.There are NO "official" modded applications lol
[HTC Sensation] Badwolve1:
Edit: this issue has been resolved, and I am asking that all remain On topic ;)

Thanks

BW
[HTC Sensation] :
Running Leedroid, uisng Shure se530 buds the difference is minimal (Warm) imo Equalizer free app on Market does much more.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
nvm dont look for another flame
[HTC Sensation] evank418:
is this only for sensation? possible to flash this on gsm evo 3d?
[HTC Sensation] myunitisz:
I'm using Bose headphones.. the cheaper ones I think something like I-e9..something like that.

but my experience...not to big of a difference from no effects and dolby. Dolby does have a way better sounding bass. theres a major difference from srs enhancement though. I think it depends on what song is being played whats better.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Probably fine, considering the Synergy3d version IS from an Evo4d build ;)

EDIT: Added stock HTC Music revert for those who want NO mods, and are over this "beats" craziness
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Im not 100% sure dolby is working, but EQ and SRS are working 100%. Beats should be enabled in HTC Music using the Synergy3d version
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Just compared my sensation to my friends who is on stock.

I tries with the mods in the first post and the one sprintusa posted.

So to ease all the dispute going on, with every single mod

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE TO STOCK HTC MUSIC PLAYER

These mods simply do not work yet. Take it from a guy that uses studio beats and listens to music atleast 4 or 5 hours a day.

I think we will have to wait until we get vigor or new sensation dump
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
:rolleyes: Just did the same thing & only thing not working is dolby like stated.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Thanks for confirming. SRS works as stock as does equilizer. Dlby doesnt seem to enable anything yet, as Eugene stated. I haven't been able to tell the difference between beats or not also, but Ive been trying to experiment.

Do you guys hear a difference with just the "beats" HTC Music mod, no Dolby, SRS or equalizer enabled?
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
So then why is there a difference when Dolby is enabled then when it has no effects, I mean idk how drastic its supposed to be but it definetly has a difference in bass and mids
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Hence why this thread exists. When I enable Dolby, I dont hear ANY difference but when I enable SRS or equalizer I hear some difference (not necessarily better but def processed). I am using A2DP, so I am not sure which options are working w/ BT and which are limited to headphones.
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Would it help if I can get my hands on one of the beats sensation's?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
With all the various Mods and nomenclature I've gotten lost in what is what. That being said, I'm using Mikes ROM V3.1.0 so whatever he included with that is what I used to test.

Using a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones listened to the same song through 3 devices. Sensation with Mike's Beats addition, SGS2 (stock player, no mods) and Nexus S using Supercurio's Voodoo Sound.

I'm no audio expert so take this with the grain of salt.

IMO the Nexus S with Super's Voodoo Sound is head and shoulders above the other two. The sound was the loudest, clearest, best bass, mid's, etc. My suggestion is that HTC include a Wolfson chip and hire Supercurio :)

The next best sounding was the SGS2. The SGS2 has it's own built in equalizer and includes Dolby. With equalizer on Normal and Dolby activated it sounded good. It was very loud, bass was decent but overall the experience was drastically reduced from what I heard in the Nexus S

Sensation: The SRS setting gave me the best sound from all the options I played around with. Sound was good (no distortion at the high end) but not as loud as the SGS2 and far lower than the NS. Overall the experience was improved from stock but fell short of the SGS2 and almost laughable compared to the NS.

Perhaps an actual Beats Headset would have fared better but Bose is pretty high end in terms of sound quality.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
the system wide beats mod makes my browser not work/open. installed synergy's beats mod and everything seems ok..

enabling dolby has no effect. srs has effects but has more "bass" but not good sound quality.beats equalizer, Rock,has good bass and trebble so i can hear music better than while using srs.
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
OK . i am trying this mods for 2 days , and honestly it is not working

i can hear no difference ,

OP: kindly After your permission :)

please guys give this software a try it is AMAZING and it will bring "beats" to the ground

if you like it please press Thanks button :D
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Of course you have my permission, this is a "community" thread ;). I have no ownership on this thread whatsoever, its just a place to share info about this mod.

can you explain what this apk is doing? is it replacing something already on the device, or is it a new app entirely? I am currently using Volume+ for regular vlume adjustment, is this a similar app?

Whatever info you can provide would be quite useful
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
Thanks @zimphishmonger

It is standalone software (like V+) ,it doesn't replace anything , doesn't increase the volume but the bass is way way more powerful when adjusted throw this software.

I strongly recommend to try it .

BTW this is the full name of the software : com.smartandroidapps.equalizer

cheers .
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Okay, I need to apologize to everyone, as I was just made aware of a HUGE idiot mistake I made when creating the Synergy zip. I misread some of the code documentation, and it changes everything. The Synergy3d flashable zip and APK actually do NOTHING, as many of you have pointed out, as the dev moved the "beats" mod to the framework, but left the controls in the HTC Music app.

I have swaped out the links for the APK file and the flashable zip to another version from anotehr Evo3d build called WARM (Project Site here). The Synergy folk seem to be sharing their mod w. the WARM crew, adn they made a few mods which limited the "beats" audio to HTC Music.

All the links have been fixed, flashable zip and APK. However, the stock revert zips have not been changed at all.

Again, I apologize for wasting your time with my epic fail, but please test again and report your finding. Hopefully we got this working now :)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Thanks for the info. Def will give it a shot, but Ill remove V+ just in case. Is it a paid app?
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
No it is free ;)

LINK
[HTC Sensation] Giblet-dono:
So when installin the WARM zip..

Why does it say "installing Camera Mod" ?

Testing it

EDIT: The new WARM zip doesnt work for me Does the same as the old one
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Cause I was too lazy to modify my install script :P No biggie :D Actually used an install zip from a camera mod, and I didnt feel like removing that one comment.

What do you mean does the same as the old?? The new one should just work, no toggles needed.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
So then which Mod is included in Mike's ROM? I definitely noticed a difference when using HTC Music as compared to stock. Just checking, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
SprintUSA's version is included w/ Mike1986's AR HD 3.1.0. However, due to his secrative nature, I wanted another version available that is open and documented. The first download link, flashable or APK, should work exactly the same as the version that came w/ v3.1.0. I'd love it if you could test the latest version and confirm :) If you dont mind...I want to confirm I fixed my fail lol
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Sure, will test and let you know.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Here's my take on the mod with my alessandro ms1i.

It brightens everything and lowers the bass. Its very noticeable to me. As the alessandros are already very very bright headphones this just isn't something suitable for me. Also I've noticed that miui stock music app is much better than htcmusic (or maybe it's just the rewritten libs)

It also smallens the sound stage for me.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Please provide more info about which version u are using: system-wide, my previous broken synergy3d version, or the newest update I did today? If MIUI music sounds better and you arent using system-wide beats, that just means it sounds better w/o any audio processing :) Ive noticed that SRS (or possibly beats) compresses the sound spectrum (meaning less highs, less bass, which isnt a good change IMO. We want as wide of a sound spectrum as our playback equipment (aka headphones) will allow.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I WAS using Arhd 2.0.5 with all headphones are beats (I'm assuming this only changes the htcmusic app) and maybe this mod isn't for me then :)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
AR HD 2.0.5? We are on 3.1.0 already :confused: Sounds like you enjoy the beats mod via MIUI so it may be for you. Personally, I prefer a wider sound spectrum, but as video quality, its all up to the listener\viewer.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Ah my bad I mean 3.0.5. I changed to miui before it updated to 3.1.0. Yeap that's true.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
well, idk what the WARM version "fixed" as dolby still has no effect. using rock equalizer i believe is still the same as synergy version, or maybe a lil better? cant really tell the diff from the two but it sounds awesome. i'll stick with the warm one tho
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Dolby is broken, as far as I know. It should enable "beats", but there is no toggle at all. I wish there was a working toggle so we could be sure the effect was on, but they havent gotten it working yet. Hopefully soon :) This will be much easier one we get a Sensation SE "beats" dump
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
It's a different Mod than what's in Mike's ROM.

In the Mod you have in the OP, for sound enhancer I have 4 options:

1. No effect

2. Dolby Mobile (which as no effect on sound)

3. SRS enhancement

4. Equalizer (headphones only)

In Mike's ROM, the option for Dolby Mobile is removed.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
well idk wut its supposed to look like but both versions had the "beats" logo next to equalizer as the stock one didn't. so im guessing it was enabled?
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Do the two versions sound the same? the one in the OP and the one in Mike's ROM?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Hmm good question. Unlike in Mike's Rom were SRS sounded the best, the equalizer using the Rock setting sounded better in the version posted in the OP. I chose the same song and everything else stayed the same. So I guess the answer to your question is no, it didn't sound the same otherwise SRS would have sounded the best.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Hmmm....very interesting. I know this is very subjective, but which version, in ur opinion, sounds better. I'm trying to truly figure out these different versions once and for all, but its not easy :/
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
subjectively speaking, the one posted in the OP.
[HTC Sensation] lavcoles:
i just picked up a pair of studio beats yesterday, the srs still sounds better than the "beats" option, did this mod effect the srs at all or just add the beats and dolby options?
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Dolby is broken, it just adds the beats mod, SRS exists in the stock version. Pelase share your results after using both. Im interested in seeing how those headphones affect the music player?
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:

I don't know if this helps at all but I flashed the htc music one and if I play a song in the music app vs playing the same song in a different app the music app sounds a LOT better
[HTC Sensation] itzsnookums:
stupid question, i have the Skullcandy 50/50 in ear headphones, if i did this mod would it work for them as well?? haven't tried it yet...going to try it on my Desire HD momentarily...

Owner of som Dr.Dre Studio beats and trust me forget what youve heard THEY ARE WORTH THE 300 and if Htc really releases a Beats sensation and its branded wit a beats logo I WILL BE DISHING OUT ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY cuz im from brooklyn and dat **** would just look tooooooooo good lol ;-)

Sent from my Sensational Leedroid ;-)
[HTC Sensation] monkeyrasta.702:
Why does my apk looks like this
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
This apk is scaled to 540x960 resolution that the sensation uses. Desire hd & inspire use 480x800 resolution so on your device its over scaled

This is sensation development after all :p
[HTC Sensation] monkeyrasta.702:
Upss how can I get it working on this device?
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
You'll have to resize it, which most normal users like us have no idea how to do :P. Maybe ask a desire hd/inspire dev to take a look
[HTC Sensation] monkeyrasta.702:
Thx though I will
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Just an update: Ive personally been going back and forth, and I like the WARM version. It just sounds the best IMO, although the difference is VERY SUBTLE. The only switch is for SRS or equalizer, which can help sometimes, depending on the music. For the moment, we are waiting for a better version to be "modded" or a leak of the "Beats" Sensation so we can try that apk version
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
HAve you tried the one from Mike's Rom. That one sounds the best of all the versions I've tried (via SRS)
[HTC Sensation] CitizenLee:
Anyone tried the modded HTCMusic.apk on a Desire HD?
[HTC Sensation] Dblfstr:
Screen resolution is too large for 480x800 resolution devices.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ya, I like the WARM version just a bit better, although I believe Mike integrated beats system wide, so this is just for SRS and equalizer preferences.

EDIT: Just found the Sensation LE version (Thanks Paul!). I will be pulling the TRUE beats HtcMusic.apk and posting it in the OP for testing when I can, its currently in RUU form so I need to converted first before I can pull anything. No ore "hacked" BS or complaints about it not being made for the Sensation :)
[HTC Sensation] CitizenLee:
Thanks for that. It's a good start and something I'm sure will be easily fixed by those in the know ;)
