Coming from Desire HD to Galaxy Nexus, I were missing that music experience and equalizer ( Dolby & SRS ). But now every thing is fixed thanks to that Awesome developer who ported beats from HTC phones. Just flashed the updated beats file and I found lots of different in bass and also improved volume. Works even with Samsung headphones.. :thumbup::D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper23:
Here it is :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Link or it doesn't exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
BOOTLOOP! It doesn't work! Why would you do that :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiabea:
worked fine for me :)

did you fixed the permissions?

sound is getting better, mainly at the low frequencies ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
:O yes! I'm on AOKP with Popcorn!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper23:
for me it works so did you check permissions? and also used the correct one? you have to download

DOWNLOAD03/02/12

thats the latest one and the working one

glad that it worked :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Yes! that's the one I downloaded! And yes, I fixed permissions! Any way to revert back? My ROM was perfect! I didn't do a nandroid >.<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper23:
ALWAYS do a nandroid backup when flashing you never know what happens did you check md5??

im not a expert but if you want to fix it you should remove the files that were imported
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Hmm, that's too much work. I'm going to flash the rom all over..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
And this is how you learn to check your ZIPs before flashing them, assessing risks and backing up the relevant portions of your /system partition before flashing :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper23:
Correct

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Umm.. My phone is stuck on the bootanim even after flashing the rom all over. Am I screwed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Did you do a full data wipe in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Yeah. All is fine now. Flashed stock then again flash AOKP :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Good. It's crazy, not to get off topic, but I flashed back to stock just to make a nandroid for it, and I noticed that it seemed snappier than aokp. What build are you at man?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper23:
you have to use the original player or the htc one also by using the beats headphones i definitely see it improved (definitely not placebo) so i don't know about other player and other headphones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
I just flashed this on my Galaxy Nexus, how do you know if its enabled and the flashing worked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
Enjoy your placebo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Glad i didnt bother installing that.. n i dont want to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
Why are you glad that you didin't bother installing it?

why then comment?

i'm really happy and it works and also for your information

so grab it fast until it's deleted

beats audio = marketing crap!

who thinks a equalizer preset will make audio better doesn`t listen the sound like the artist wanted it to be listened. buy good headphones (NO BEATS!) and you woun`t need **** like this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I agree it is just an EQ that can be emulated easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
it's a crappy EQ at the beats completley overdoes the bass to where it just drowns out the mids

If you want the beats sound. Just suck all the mids out. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
WTF, I just flashed this and I'm on a bootloop... how can I fix my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
As a new comer to hi quality (not hi-fi) level yet, I'd say a new good pair of headphones makes a huge difference. An EQ won't do much. If you really want good sound quality, invest in a good pair of headphones that's at least $100.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
This! Yep I agree $100 is the entry level for a good set of headphone/earphone, unless your ear demands something better than your wallet will scream
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
I believe the RE0 headphones go for less than $100, and they're still quite good. Great balanced sound and excellent response curve.

The Beats port is utter crap. It is equivalent to taking a 5 band EQ, putting the bottom two sliders all the way up, the middle slider down, and curving the last two for bright highs. That is NOT better quality. Its a sound balance preference that does nothing to chance the actual quality of the output in any quantitative or truly qualitative sense.

Aka supercurio is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Lol. It's really hard to argue against that.

But think about it. People who wants beats wants to just pay the money and afterwards be able to badge themselves as this cool:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This thread is full of win :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
DO NOT FLASH THIS! It will brick your phone and you will get a boot loop!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Brick.

You are using that word. I don't think you know what it means.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
OK maybe not bricked, but you will get a boot loop. I just flashed this and I had to factory reset because I got a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think folks should leave it alone because supercurio is no audio noob, and has made it clear it does nothing.

Silly placebos.

The crazy thing is, people are still trying to flash it after so many people got boot loops. Then they get boot loops. Stop the insanity!

Leave the herd folks, if the sheep run off the edge of the cliff, will you follow suit and hope for a different outcome?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tito2007:
Dear almighty ..I just flashed this and it gave my phone superpowers ....awesome..Do it flash it ... lol:D:D:D:D

Just had to add to the excitement going on here!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I flashed it...don't notice any differences...well then...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
WOW this is the greatest placebo effect ever!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gfxgeek:
Welcome to Beats Audio... if it sounds the same, then it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
There is way too much ridiculous placebo belief in this thread. This is what Beats audio does:

Take an equalizer. Now boost the lows and highs to near the top. Now hit save.

You've just created Beats audio.

Get a good set of headphones (not Beats -- Look for Sennheisers, Audio Technica, Etymotic Research, or Grado) and you won't need to do all of this crap. Your music will sound better than you believe, and it'll sound like the artist *intended* it to sound, not crazy distorted like Beats will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
We all agreed its placebo then?..... Yes?..... Good. Carry on....

If I want 'Beats Audio' I'll turn the bass up on the equalizer, turn everything else down and wear a ridiculous oversized pair of earphones DESPITE being English (its a look very few of us can pass off) and wear my trousers somewhere south of my knees.

That is how I roll chaps. Good day to you kind sirs....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
It does help a little bit with the ROM stuff using Beats, but to get the true effect you must have full kernel support and proper drivers in the kernel as well. If you want an example, listen to an EVO 3D running Eternity r154 with the AnthraX r14 kernel. It is actually a real, measurable difference as well as a sound difference. Anyone who says all Beats does is turn on an EQ doesnt really understand Beats. It is additional software processing, some of which is EQ. It enables much better DAC function than stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
It's software jargon. With a heavy dose of advertising. Another "app for that". Apple Kool aid anyone? Beats didn't create music just like apple didn't create the smartphone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
Could you provide me with any tests on this from some reputable sources?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The point is that it is all smoke and mirrors done with software and can be easily reproduced with an EQ. Its not like in computers where Beats is still software nonsense, but includes a higher quality dac, more powerful amp, and isolated components. Even then its fairly mediocre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
Every time I open the Galaxy Nexus forum and see this thread, I cringe. What makes me do this? Is it the hardened discussion on the placebo effect or the argument on whether Beats is even a worthwhile product? ......Nope, its the fact that awEsome is spelled wrong. For the love of god change the OP. Please please please. ;-)

Sent from GNexus w/CM-9 & franco.kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
OK, So I went through the whole thing with everyone arguing about a placebo effect. What I care about is - does this only affect the EQ or does it also bring in the ControlTalk features of a Beats Headphone. You see I have a pair, but sadly the remote and microphone isn't detected my the phone, so when ever I receive a call - I need to use the in built microphone on the phone now the in-wire microphone of the headphones.

Anyone with a pair of Beats can check this and confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wekko306:
Even though I agree Beats is fairly crap, I hate the 'listen to music the way the artist intended' non-argument. Music is a matter of taste above all. If you buy a new car, you set it up (hight of seat, steering wheel, maybe suspension) according to your own liking. Did you make the car better? No. Did you ruin 'the way the manufacturer intended'? No. All you did was make adjustments according to your own taste. The same as for messing with an equaliser when listening to music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sebz4n:
I am running stock rom, but rooted. Can I use this? And which zip should I get?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
But there are those types that buy 4x4 trucks, turn it into a monster truck and then... And then they never ride with the windows down, the bed never sees a scratch or a lick of work, drive over speed bumps like a slammed car and want you to think they're the coolest person in the world when they get drunk and get a mud coat paint job and wrecked into a tree and lost.

I know it's all about getting something for nothing but the best recommendation I can give for Excellent sound from Any Android device is purchase the following.

and

The former has excellent bass response and the latter has one of the best EQs out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
Im not trying to defend Beats, it is a marketing gimmick, but do you guys know the definition of placebo?

IF it in fact did nothing, and made you think it did something, THAT would be a placebo.

But because it changed the lows and high frequencies, it IS actually altering something - NOT a placebo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
supercurio made it clear it does nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Wouldnt this need the htc sense framework to actually function at all on a non-htc phone? How was this actually ported?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
We know. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
It does work awesomely on my rezound and sensation XL so if whoever doing this can properly port it it would be the ****! Love beats. That's why I use a sensation XL daily

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
In addtion to that, not everyone's hearing is the same. There are variations between individuals due to genetics and stuff. EQ allows people to adjust the sound to make it sound the most pleasant to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
It's purely a placebo effect...besides...supercurio is a genius who actually knows his stuff with sound...it's pretty hard to argue the facts

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
I also have these and love them, I don't feel I need any better sound from my device.

Therefore I'm not doing the beats thing. I don't need the placebo or possible boot-loops but I do appreciate the developers giving us the option to go that route, that's why I love this place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soutaiseiriron:
This. It's like saying software made my quad core CPU process at a 16 core level (this analogy maybe bad lol). Obviously software is limited to its hardware counterpart which means the difference achieved with the beats could be reached without it. That being said, I get Jordan's because they look nice. My basketball skills are equivalent to mike bare foot :P

Edit: Isn't this what DSPmanager is for anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
There was, but the XDA mods deleted the thread... Screenshots of the measurements and everything

Basically the stock EVO 3D has a frequency response of things like 60Hz-14kHz. Complete crap. Its THD is pretty high too. With ALL of beats, which includes full ROM support from the right files/libraries and stuff as well as drivers in the kernel, the Frequency response was broadened to 5Hz-40kHz, with nearly flat response along the whole area. Additionally, THD was down to 0.00001%, andpower output was up to a max of 600mw @ 600Ohms (although putting out 400mw resulted in an already 1.42% THD). Huge change from stock with no beats support. It isnt just some beats thing, yes Beats is special processing and an EQ. However part of it is also the much better specs it brings. It just does far more advanced processing. You cant just flash the zip in this thread and get amazing results, it doesnt work that way. In order to get the more advanced processing you need the true driver support. Just flashing into a ROM will do nothing but an EQ and dumb looking icon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Absolute bollocks.

Frequency response of 5Hz-40kHz? When the human ear can only hear frequencies between 20Hz-20kHz ± ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
When manufacturers make speakers with frequencies beyond our audible range its to push distortion to levels we can't hear, thus giving a cleaner sound. I tried this mod and I did hear a slight change, but I'm sure its all in my head.

DSP alone will not make any headphones sound like the beats. The material of the drivers plays a huge role in sound quality. No matter how many processors I use my car speakers will never sound like my studio monitors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Not what I would call "reputable sources" but this guy in the Beats Port thread itself did some testing... Caused a riot in there :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LOL, pretty funny stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Exactly. Frequencies that low can be felt through a subwoofer because of the cycle of the wavelength. You cannot feel frequencies this low through headphones because there literally isn't enough air for the waveforms to complete their cycles effectively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Guffaw! I assure you, it is.

Google the following: "Nyquist". Then get back to us.

I almost spot out my coffee when I read this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Who are you replying to?

Btw, pushing distortion to outside audible range? How does this work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It is common knowledge that two things cannot exist in the same space at any given time. So adding new frequency ranges moves the distorted ones out of audible range :D

Yes, I made that up :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Mwahahahaha :D

Thought that could've been the greatest new theory for the 21st century.

Some ppl may even believe if you omitted that last line :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Both of you.

There's a reason audio is sampled at 44Khz. Further, there is no other audio on a cell phone than digital.

The idea that any frequency response above 22kHz is meaningful in any way, AT ALL, is what my reference to Nyquist is all about.

Indeed, reproduction of 44.1kHz sampled audio requires a steep low-pass filter at 22kHz, and given the inexpensive nature of the hardware, usually a more gentle filter with a characteristic 3dB point at something more like 18kHz is pretty common.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I know about nyquist. What are you getting at?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
please elaborate a bit more? More systematically perhaps?

I am aware of the sampling theory as well as the implication of Fourier transforms, but your application of them sound foreign to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Not trying to be snarky, but Google Nyquist as I said.

This is a big subject (digital domain signal processing). With all respect and friendliness intended, I'm not going to spend the time teaching engineering courses here.

I jumped in only because what was said about 40kHz frequency response was laughable. I've given enough breadcrumbs for anyone really interested in understanding to learn on their own.

My work is done :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
lol? When did I ever say we could hear up to 40kHz? All I said was that was the MEASURED frequency response of the headphone output in a computer measuring program. Huge difference. Everyone here up in arms about the beats stuff also seems to have completely disregarded the part I said about how flashing this zip will do very little if anything. In order for this to be of use you MUST have full support inside the kernel, which this phone doesnt have and most likely never will. It also seems like everyone in this thread doesnt actually know that any of this doesnt even affect the speaker on the phone anyway, it solely affects the headphone output. The Beats name doesnt actually mean much of anything, it is just a way for HTC to market something new and make more money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
There is another subject not sure if it matters but all beats audio phones comes with dual mic for stereo recording. I'll say 90% of the rest comes with one only.

boot loop

Can anyone help me? :P

I installed the damned thing on my SGS2 and i am getting those boot loops.

I didn't want to because of other people getting it, but then someone uploaded a "fixed" zip that they all said it worked well, so i tried it...

Nothing bad happened at first, but when my battery went dead, i can't turn it back on and charging doesn't start, it's just looping :((

How do i make it stay turned off and let it charge my battery? Then i will be able to flash again...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
I have never heard about a phone that doesn't charge when turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This one didn't for the longest time on custom kernels. It would lock up.

If the kernel or ramdisk is borked, the phone cannot charge while off. It depends on the device, of course. Some devices use the recovery kernel to charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukasound:
When i connect it to the charger it doesn't do anything for a while and then starts up, says battery crittically low, shuts down - over and over again... I can't get it to stay off and charge...

I thought maybe it will charge like that little by little, but no, after an hour it continued to do that and battery was still empty. It got a bit hot :-/ Not very, like when charging or playing games...

If only i could charge the battery i could put it in download mode... And i don't know anyone with sgs2 to charge it for me. I might have to go to tele2 center and ask them if they could charge it in their dispayed model... but i want to avoid that...

What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukasound:
In case anyone encounters the same problem as I, the only solution i could find was to take my battery to my operator's centre, and ask them to charge my battery in their displayed phone... Then i could enter the download mode and flash it :P

Headphones are the way to go.

I have a pair of VMODA remix 4s

They have an frequency range of down to 5 hz. I have ran through frequency tests and I can audibly hear 8 hz and up. Even if it is just air in the canal moving slightly it adds tones to the music...particularly rap or even bass tester tracks that make it fairly amazing for an ear phone that isnt over ear. Would it be nice if this worked with full driver support? Most likely...In the mean time Galaxy Nexus folks should just use Volume +. Compaired to stock just tweaking the equalizer is a million times better. Tweaking the speaker volume to high treble made ringtones much more audible and it doesnt require root. Apparently in space no one can hear their phone ring. :D

If you can audibly hear 8Hz then what you are probably hearing is distortion and not really an 8Hz waveform

Beats are all optimized for hip hop. If you want high end headphones for everything try sennhiesers or shure's high end headphones. Shure's three driver in ear are insane. Sennhiesers are incredible if you like over ear. Both have a more balanced sound that doesn't over amplify highs and lows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
Without reading all ten pages, I'm sure somebody has mentioned this already, but ICS already has legacy audio. That's the same thing as beats audio, for all intensive purposes. I find no difference in the audio quality between the two.
