[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Official Better Sound Quality

We all know the sound quality is horrendous and I'm sure no one will disagree.

Please note these mods are intended to improve quality and loudness in music. There should absolutely be no distortion, if there is your listening to the music way too high. Its suppose to be crisp and clear and give you perfect quality for what the device can possibly handle. Because the nexus audio is crippled, it still won't sound amazing as some other devices but keep in mind phones aren't suppose to be walking studios.

Well I got the nexus yesterday and rooted it today.

Messed with a ROM And kept it, then decided to start testing the audio. On my droid incredible I could make my music sound like a small studio..

It was great and was hoping for a better quality on the nexus :sly:

So this is what I suggest - "Make a NANDROID"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I nor anyone involved in making these are not responsible for what you do to your device. Even if it makes your cat into a killer ninja while optimus prime blows Saddam Hussain's head to bits.

THESE MODS WERE USED ON 13$ HEADPHONES! So the quality should be exceptionally better on better Headphones.

Install Instructions

1.) Reboot into Recovery or from Fast boot

2.) Find the Audio Mod - .Zip files I've given you

3.) Flash .Zip files, XSincrediblebass uses AROMA, follow aroma instructions

4.) Wait for flash to complete, reboot

5.) Profit?! :D

-------------

If you're using CWM Stock "Volume buttons+Power" it can be used in Aroma I am on stock CWM.

------------------------------------------------------

These files are by choice -

1.) SRS Panel - A modded Equalizer originally made for ICS, works extremely well with XSincrediblebass.

2.) XSincrediblebass AROMA INSTALLER - Two Options once flashed in CWM or the recovery of your choice.

- 1.) Xperia S, install options 2&3. Finish and reboot.

- 2.) Xperia 2011, install options 2&3. Finish and reboot.

3.) Beats Audio08/23 N!K - Install VIA Recovery, overall new lib library - took out useless files and added extras I.e. Dolby Digital. (NEW)

I highly recommend using Xperia 2011, this audio library mod plays well with Nexus Audio/Speaker.

I now recommend Beats Audio 08/23 as its taken the Xperia libs route and can be turned up high enough without distortion while giving full bass.

I still fully recommend xperia 2011.

Install whatever free will, NOTE these have been tested and work.

Unfortunately we cannot get all the bass but most of it is there..

Right now the sound quality is 50x better.

If everything is done correct you'll have this

------------------------------------------------------

To get the best Quality I recommend -

1.) Soundbest Music Player

2.) Neutron Music Player

3.) XenoAmp

4.) Poweramp :thumbdown:

5.) User Appreciated :p just choose the one you normally use

AND... For Equalizers -

1.) SRS Panel

2.) Audio FX

3.) Audio Master Pro

4.) Media Volume Equalizer

5.) User Defined, use your preferred equalizer.

Hope you all enjoy this, please tell me your experience!

Better control over sound quality

Install either kernel as each seems to work the same -

Glados - https://play.google.com/store/apps...ium=organic&utm_term=glados+control+playstore

Trinity - https://play.google.com/store/apps...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=trinity+play+store

Franco - https://play.google.com/store/apps...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=franco+play+store

Each hold a specific key to increase the volume and increase clarity.

In order to Harold these options you need to buy the apps that will allow full control of various options.

Inside you will find Sound increase and Performance Clarity, set sound increase to 2 and turn on Clarity.

This greatly makes your phone louder and better sounding, clearer.
