[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well this is a long post so I need to be able to explain it in detail too.

You need not use Extreme, All because the problem lies in the phone's hardware. Yes the phone is able to handle the volume output all (because phones made and exported from EUR region had passed this "safety limit" law that puts it about -20% from what I read in supercurio's explanation) this is more or less removing that limiter with a tad bit boost, so you don't get any battery sacrifice unless you play at full volume.

The libs were more or less extracted from HTC based phones that HAD Beats originally. But ofcourse these won't be able to load since HTC Sense is acre's different from the standard Jellybean/ICS. So in order to replace that, DSP was used as the medium to connect them both. Despite the libs were made based on their hardware, regardless on Extreme they work but produce these hissing/buzzing sound because those are decibals that aren't able to be processed. The phone is able to load these libs but unable to process/output the same user experience on "Extreme". Another reason why GNexus would have been an amazing phone if they didn't screw up the Audio Hardware into a crappy one.

Also It's been disabled that selecting DSP would make a difference, You can keep it on MusicFX and DSP works the same. This was done because some ROM's don't have MusicFX installed, but have DSP, inorder to counter this and make the mod a more "Universal" I had it set to enable always. So you can set it to MusicFX and it works great.

What I would advice would be , Standard Compression in DSP, No Bass Boosters, Disable any Equalizers and test the difference in YouTube/GMusic (Google related Apps)

I wish I could do something about Spotify to check on that, but it's for US only :rolleyes:, and as much as I would like to test it, DroidVPN's don't get through properly/eat up too much bandwidth. Another reason why I hate specific country only Apps.

Also I do apologize for the long, yet bedtime storyish kinda explanation :P, Just imparting knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
I'm not using extreme. My EQ settings are set to "Flat" with loudness compensation set only to "Weaker" and the headset virtualization set to "Studio".

As a matter of fact, I'm using the Beats headphones that came with my Rezound and I find these to be a bit bass heavy so before I found this mod, I was actually lowering the bass levels. I use the loudness compensation to ensure that bass levels remain consistent across volumes (as per the DSP help guide).

Also, my gnex is the Verizon (toro) variant, so I don't know if the volume levels have been altered. I do remember that being a law passed in the EU and I also know apple introduced that on their newer iPods...(shame).

So I'm still wondering what's up with the MP3s on my phone.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Edit: OH SNAP, I got massively confused with the GNex/N7 thread. So forgive if you read it previously

Hmm, Well I own a pair of Razer Electa and they hit pretty hard just as good as the Beats. But I never experienced any buzzing/hissing. Have you tried a nandroid and stock+mod experience to test if it occurs again? If it's a toro issue only, I can work on something about it, Kindly pass up a logcat so I can investigate it further :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
I have not tried this mod on the toro jelly bean OTA. I'll go ahead and give that a shot after I get you a logcat. Now to read up on how to do that (I've skimmed over the directions before but never had to do it).

I'll try to get a log starting off with the awesome sounding Play Music, then switch to nasty spotify and internal storage MP3.

I had some $60 Klipsch headphones that are just slightly better than these iBeats but I lost one of the ear buds and haven't replaced yet it. Also, these iBeats include a mic. While the mic sucks for phone calls, it enables me to use the app Around Sound :)

I'll pm you the log cat when I get it. Many thanks dude, you rock.

This is on a Gnex Toro...

Did a nandroid and then installed v4b3 over AOKP build I'm running (full repo as of this afternoon + a pop-up SMS cherry pick) and it installed fine, phone booted up OK.

Set fx manager to dsp, and volumes do appear to be nicely boosted. Just played w/it a little bit, but so far no issues. Quite nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Your comment would highly help out @rockingondrums, He's on the toro and would need all the feedback he can get that the mod works perfectly normal. Surprised though that AOKP has MusicFX selector still there. Most AOKP ROM's I know had it taken out and just DSP to control it. Glad it works out for you buddy! :good:

@rockingondrums, Buddy play some music and get the logcat recording but ofcourse after you experience this distortion, perhaps we can build a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
Well when I woke up this morning and headed to work, Spotify seemed to be much, much better. Will test MP3s on phone when I head to class later.

There's always a chance that I have bad hardware. I still need to send this thing in for warranty for a different reason.

If the HDD with my music hadn't failed weeks ago, it would matter even less. Regardless, I still rated your thread 5 stars.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Glad in the end it all works out, I hope your Gnex is alright, Breaks my pixelated heart to know that such a sexy phone falls in battle :P Thanks buddy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eZaCx:
Uh guys, I need help. After just installing CM10 + gapps, I flashed "NexusLouderV4Beta3.zip," and I want to know if that is automatically applied throughout the OS, or do I have to enable it in the settings?? The reason I am asking is, I went to my settings and there is no option for "music or sound effects," so I can't physically choose this (unless it is automatically installed throughout the system). I did however have the DSPManager where I enabled the bass boost/equalizer on both the headset/speaker/bluetooth. I don't know if that is what I was supposed to do to obtain this louder sound mod.

Any help please??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
You should reboot after flashing the ROM and gapps and then go to recovery and flash the NexusLouderV4Beta3.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
It works out of the box. No enabling required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eZaCx:
I did do that.

I see, thanks. But then, what is the DSP manager for? Is that just an extra? Should I just disable what I enabled to keep this mod normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
That's a pretty funny question really, DSP is to control the MOD, If anything the Music get's pretty crazy to the point that some users have their own Equalizer preference, so I have given unto them this option so they may receive eargasm at it's finest! It doesn't conflict with any other app, so you should be all good :) User choice and preference is yours buddy :angel:

Edit: On another note, I'm working up a new release, should be done about this week based up on this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722136

Problem is I don't really know if people find the volume loud enough , or would want to go louder (With safety restrictions ofcourse)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
hi,

I installed this on my stock jellybean with franco kernel. i am fine with the music so i deleted DSP and Apollo. I mainly wanted the boost in notification/ring tone and in call volume.

so sicne i deleted apollo and DSP is it still working? how do i know if it is working, i dont see any settings anywhere?

hi,

I installed this on my stock jellybean with franco kernel. i am fine with the music so i deleted DSP and Apollo. I mainly wanted the boost in notification/ring tone and in call volume.

so since i deleted Apollo and DSP is it still working? how do i know if it is working, i dont see any settings anywhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eZaCx:
Awesome, so I should only use DSP if I want to further change/enhance the sound otherwise everything is fine.

I will be testing some songs today to see if the volume is fine, but I believe it is okay so far. Too much can start destroying the speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
seems like eZaCx and I have a similar question. how do we know the mod is working and is DSP even necessary at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Ah, see. The mod works as mentioned a few posts as it is. Best way to tell would be to listen to the stock volume or use the revert zip to bring it back to default. Try that, then try the mod, you'll see the massive difference there. DSP is just a choice given to the way you wish to control your listening experience, If you don't need it then you can delete it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
my opinion for your next release is to make the incall speaker louder. after testing the ring volume and music with headphones are fine, but in call I still need to go to second last or last step for vol. a little extra boost would be nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Bruh, The incall speaker is pretty much louder as it is. Compared to the one on stock, this is actually louder (As stated on the OP) and people can vouch for that, However there is a limit to how much you can increase in-call. After applying the mod, You should not select DSP from Music Effects, Keep it at MusicFX and max the volume and restart the phone, That should do the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
No dude, not just louder, the G Nex now goes to 11...lol

Before, I couldn't hear the person on the other end with the TV on. Now instead of sounding like cold war soviet transistor technology, it actually sounds like a digital voice call.

Really, I am stupefied that this was possible. I truly thought the speaker just wasn't capable of louder output.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
Is this mod necessary in latest CM10 nightlies?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Depends on your choice of usage. You can always try it before you install your apps on CM10, try it and if you like it keep it, or you can always reflash CM10 and it will erase all traces of the mod. Choice is yours but test loudness first.

@tek112 the Soviet transistor made me laugh out like crazy despite being 2am here hahah. In any case this isn't the line, there's still a lot more I plan to add, for one i hear the new flagship phones are coming with better audio mods. I'm thinking of what I can do with those files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
i will agree the mod is much better, but still need to use the highest vol in call. I guess its just not as loud as other phones. is it possible this mod works better on some roms than oters
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I always had my phone on the highest level for in call volume. Ever since my LG vx6000. Yes some phones are louder, but as far as the galaxy nexus goes, I always had it on the last volume step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
I'm trying Spotify, and set to extreme quality download, and am not getting any of the issues he mentioned (hissing, popping, and sometimes stuttering) on wifi or 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Thx for your hard work brother. I especially like the Bluetooth audio boost implications. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krze:
This mod is a must for music lovers. Can't believe I only found this today. This mod finally opens up my Westone 3's with my GN.

Like wow. Been listing to random tracks off David Guetta, Deadmau5, Tiesto, and Daft Punk... really liking the sound... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Good song choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Did you know, This mod works on your Kindle Fire too?

@krze, For your epic choice of songs (Which happen to be my favorite artists!) You get an awesome :good: Thanks for that. Also I forgot to mention, they work best with m4a tracks (I'm not really an Apple fan but their audio has amazing lossless quality)

This happens to be my latest eargasm track, love the build up, Sadly I'm going to miss SHM

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
I flashed the betav4 how do I go about making this mod work ? Cm10 doesn't have music effects? Some help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Yup! I currently have the V4B3 installed and it definitely sends chills down my spine when that bass drops (headphones/sound system). The speakers also sound a lot clearer at louder frequencies, but I mostly use my headphones or have the kindle plugged into a sound system through audio cables. Great work brother!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
It works out of the box, as soon as you flash it, it works :) Play via GMusic/Apollo and you'll know the difference, A good headphone might help you notice that :good:

I prefer using the Headphones too, I wanna get a Sennheiser but those babies are expensive and I'm contemplating on the N7 than the Sennies. Glad it works out as intended :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdxtechdoctor:
Maybe I'm just slow, but I can seem to find NexusLouderV4BetaX... I've flipped through the last few pages until I hit where V3 was released and done see it listed in the thread either, but the FP says the V4 is the latest in the beginning of the post...

Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hahaha its at the bottom of the first post all the download links that is, I take it you're new to XDA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Does it matter what music player we use ? I use player pro with their DSP app, set music sound to DSP and I can't hear a difference. Sprint gnex running black bean 4 ... :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I don't mean to sound rude but I've mentioned this atleast 50+ times and the OP, that very limited players allow Third-Party Equalizers to affect them. Apollo/GMusic are the only open sourced that allow this. Other players try to extort cash by adding their own Eq's. You don't need to set it to DSP to get it to work. It works as it is, default enabled :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Not rude at all man. I wish I had time to read through the thread I'm just at work all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well I would have to thank you in the sense I haven't updated the OP requirements based on the newer mods but did that on the N7 thread. So thanks for the heads up :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
Been using this mod (4beta1) for several days and just had to say thanks to the OP! The speaker phone is noticeably louder when I get calls (important to me) and my flac music sounds awesome thru ts02 earphones. Awesome job :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Glad you like it! But why are you using V4Beta1 when V4Beta3 is out?

Misledz, you really should get rid of the older downloads so people aren't confused by them.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scowley7:
Speaker compression

Just above the downloads there is a note on how to hear the difference with the fix. I can't see compression under Speakers, only headset and Bluetooth. Not sure it matters because I have already noticed a huge performance difference with this fix. Just wondering if I should see this setting. JB 4.1.1 on GNex with Faux kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adio201:
Hey guys will this patch work with baked ROM and also running Franko nightly kernel v.2.3.7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
When I downloaded, V4Beta1 was the latest. How much better is Beta3 going to be I wonder, since this already works well.

Will certainly try it though :)

Also, should I just flash Beta3 in CWM without any wipes or do I need to get rid of Beta1 first?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I think the V4s are all the same files thus far, but as a general practice I'd suggest getting rid of the old one every time just to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adio201:
I have sprint galaxy nexus running baked ROM and franko kernel with this mod work for my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Exact same set up here, I guess it doesn't work with most music players, but it doesn't hurt to flash... just give it a shot with Apollo or play music (that's what I got out of it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adio201:
OK just flash this mod and I don't really notice any difference from before the mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Please read the requirements part carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
Haha yeah. Need a new Nexus. Nao.

Moar volume! Within reason. As long as music (and to an extent, phone call volume) isn't clipping. That's why I set ReplayGain on all my music. Do you use RG?

Are you hearing anything from reliable sources? I'd really love some info as I'm sure we all would! Not talking about that strange looking "leaked slide".

Yeah, that problem went away and was replaced by an entirely different problem for me hahaha. Now, Spotify just doesn't want to stream me anything! Must be having server problems. They should fix those before my trial expires, if they want me to start paying haha.

All my friends and I have decided to get tickets to the show in San Francisco. I've never seen them live and I sure as hell aren't going to miss them on their "final" tour. I put that in quotes because, well, how many artists have a final tour and eventually do some more a few years down the line? :P Still, I'm not going to wait for that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I did get rid of the older downloads, I just placed the V3BetaX for those who just want the loudness but not all that Beats/Louder stuff. The other 2 versions for the v4Betax are for the Stock vs AOKP since the libset for stock dont work for the AOKP series.

I changed a whole bunch of fixes since the V4Beta1 since there were issues with the build.prop not getting written and the mod not being applied, remember that? So the Beta2-3 were more or less fixes towards that :cyclops:

Heres hoping you get your Nexus replaced. I'm waiting for the new GNexus with A11 processor & 8MP Camera and all that, but I don't even know when's that coming out. Guess its going to be a while :] Also what's RG? That's the first time I'm hearing that name, I'm not too familiar with a bunch of apps since most are US based only which depresses me :{

As for the audio mods they're pretty reliable sources but I would need to find out about porting issues and all that it brings. As of now there has not been any error when you peak the volume, Im eager to test the highest peak before it errors out. Aside from that on the N7 thread of this MOD there's been alot saying Spotify works with the MOD.

I'm hoping SHM would come up with some sort of surprise. I really like their music, Unlike most artists they come out with tracks that really get your head into it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Ah, I thought Nexus+Louder was the very first one you made so I couldn't understand why it was still up there. :good:

As for the differences, we were talking about flashing over so I was referring to the filenames, I knew you'd done a fair amount of work and they weren't the exact same files.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Actually, the first release is still there LOL. Kept it so ..awesome..'s work doesn't feel like it was raped. Off it goes then.

Well, let's not forget, if not for you and the people who helped, those changes wouldn't be there :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Does anyone know of a 3rd party player that works with this? I paid for playerpro I just love the artist browser and the lyric search, but I really miss voodoo( from my vibrant and nexus S) so I wanna get this to work! I just think Google play music app sucks and I can seem to find Apollo apk :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Misledz answer, before you asked! He knows all (which makes it worth reading what he states in the OP). :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32096766&postcount=888
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Thank you for keeping that short and simple. I've tried out as many popular players as I know. And so far only 2 additional players have been mentioned that DO work with the mod, but those are all open-sourced too. :fingers-crossed:

On another note Spotify works with the MOD perfectly, and the N7 thread has reported success on that field ( I couldn't do it as I'm not in US and VPN works slow ) Spotify's new update allows Third Party EQ's.

@bdubs4200Also which Mod did you flash? V4BetaX is where it's at. Apollo has been included in that release, Just flash and enjoy, If you don't have Apollo then you flashed the wrong one.

I think the main reason why people say they don't notice anything was because I can still see the numbers for my first release (Which was just beats) go up 4000+ downloads. Which was weird since V4 was where it was all at. I guess people don't read the changelog's anymore :| Funny since everytime an app on PlayStore get's updated, I

always

check the changelog to see what's new and ofcourse the comments. And the changelog does show which is the latest release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Yeah I flashed v4beta3....

no apollo, I downloaded the apk from some forum.... also I was asking other players besides the two lol

I can see myself adjusting to Apollo from player pro because the soundmod SOUNDS FREAKING AMAZING! I HEAR IT NOW!! but my gripe is this... in playerpro the artist picture are clear and look great... in Apollo the artists pics look... well crappy

But the sound difference is night and day I love it.... just wish it didn't look grainy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
Which kernel is better for this MOD, franco's or trinity?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Enjoy the eargasm and get lots of tissue for when you are done with the eargasm :highfive: , and I know that feel bro, I had to move down from ZPlayer (Which I loved with a passion all because of the sexy Album art that eats up that huge display screen perfectly, and now, Im stuck with a third party player and GMusic is so---Blah :|) Oh well, we all make sacrifices for things we love :silly: *Cough*Marriageisagoodexample*cough*

Doesn't matter, as per the OP it works on ALL kernels

"Compatible with:

-All Major Kernels.

-Nexus 7 , Kindle Fire, Galaxy Nexus

-Apollo/Google Music [Very few players allow third-party equalizers to affect them and I can't do anything about that]"

I personally like Trinity only because it has better battery management all the more better to keep listening to music longer.

As for Franco? his latest builds drink alot of battery---I--I don't even know what happened. But the switch was painful till I learned Trinity was better.

Ummmmm adjust the settings to your liking? After you flash DSP manager will have a lil beats logo on it. Open up Google music or Apollo music app- play your favorite song- go back to DSP manager and.... yeah.... adjust to your liking :) (did I already say that? )
