I just realized that Poweramp has a MusicFX button in their Tone/Vol settings now. Now the Awesome Beats mod is working with PowerAmp!

Anyway, after reading the past few pages, there are people who are having issues with Poweramp settings with EIZO, so I'll share my experience, so that it might clarify things.

First of all, before the last Poweramp update that adds MusicFX toggle, Awesome Beats is not working since Poweramp will ignore the libraries when it is not installed on HTC phones (a fact confirmed through Poweramp's support forum). So, it used to be that only Noozoxide worked on Poweramp, provided that you disable its DVC (Direct Volume Control). Awesome Beats works in other players though (Apollo, Play Music, etc.). So, all these while, I have Poweramp running with DVC off and Noozoxide on. So far till now, I was using Poweramp with DVC off and Noozoxide on.

Since the update, I found that if I turn on the MusicFX toggle, for some reason, Awesome Beats' effects are applied instead of Noozoxide even though I set Noozoxide as the default Music Effect in the Android system sound setting. I can confirm this since I can change the Awesome Beats settings and I can hear the change real-time while a music is playing.

So, to sum up:

Android setting: Noozoxide; Poweramp setting: DVC off, MusicFX off -> Noozoxide is applied

Android setting: Noozoxide; Poweramp setting: DVC on, MusicFX off -> No effect

Android setting: Noozoxide; Poweramp setting: DVC on/off, MusicFX on -> Awesome Beats is applied (much louder when DVC is on)

Android setting: Awesome Beats; Poweramp setting: DVC on/off, MusicFX on -> Awesome Beats is applied (much louder when DVC is on)

Android setting: Awesome Beats; Poweramp setting: DVC on/off, MusicFX off -> No effect

So, to sum up: when MusicFX is on in Poweramp, it will select Awesome Beats over Noozoxide. Also, if I want to disable both Awesome Beats and Noozoxide, I have to set the Android system sound setting to MusicFX.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NicoGa:
Thanks to share your experience and to clarify the situation!

I also found that in the following config:

Android setting: Noozoxide; Poweramp setting: DVC off, MusicFX on/off

Noozoxide is only partly applied and to activate xlimiter I need to long press on MusicFX (to open Noozoxide). But after that only xlimiter has effect ...

(I was using stock rom+m-kernel a46)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] inscythe:
I think xlimiter / dynamic range compression is some kind of system-related toggle. You can turn that on and off from Awesome Beats as well, even though it is off. Can Misledz confirm this observation?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Well X limiter isn't supposed to be used in way. It's glitchy on the new firmware :( hopefully we can see some magic in KLP. Their change of 500 lines of code screwed it over

Hey guys I busted my speakers on my n7 I was either using PAC ROM or purity ROM, and I might of been using m kernel. I don't exactly know, because it took me a little bit to notice the sound was quieter, and music had crackling in it. So yeah just be careful when your experimenting on built in speakers. Good news is new speakers are only 20 bucks. Is it possible to actually install better speakers on my n7?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I'm actually getting hesitant to buy an N7 with the bad speaker quality parts :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] microzee:
Hey just a quick question, first how do you tell what version you have? Because I don't know if I have v7 or v8. Also are you gonna add a change log for v8? And one more thing, why would you use the eizo setting in noozy when you can just use the actual eizo app? Will it double the effect if you use both?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Flashing the mod again will tell you what version you have as an error
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] xolanir:
I would still recommend you purchase it cos it's a solid device. I think that any speaker will go bust if people push past & beyond the threshold with additional tweaks on top of your mod. I haven't had any issues with my N7 and speakers because I mostly use headphones. When I use the built in speaker, I don't push the mod settings beyond what the speakers can handle.

Just my $0.02 :cool:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I like how you wrote 2 cents properly hahaha, well it's pretty cheap and I'm tempted to buy it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
"cheap" is the key word.. They could use better speakers and add another camera but then they would be charging $450 for it. I am happy with $250 and a pair of headphones :D

You might want to wait until after Google I/O ;)

(New devices could be announced, drop in prices of old devices etc)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Hmm clever statement that might actually convince me to hold off. I feel betrayed in the sense getting the new N4 and they've already announced N5, be it rumor or truth it's just shady that the N4 would be quickly disregarded and N5 stealing the show.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TheByteSmasher:
Meh... I don't know about disregarded.. It's still a Nexus with great hardware. BTW Misledz, if you decide to get into building ROMs (and trying to incorporate XLouder, I'm still having trouble) I made a guide here: ★Ω [GUIDE] The Comprehensive AOKP Building Guide Ω★.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] prestige777:
Do you have a Comprehensive AOSP Building Guide?

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Ok, so after playing around with my Nexus 7 trying to get it to sound better, I finally very carefully pulled the metal screen off the speaker outlet, this made a pretty good difference in loudness, I then began playing around some more and finally placed tape(scotch) on the outside(inside is too close) of the case over the speaker outlet leaving a small opening in the middle, the reason I did that, is because by removing the metal screen this allows for a bigger opening for sound to resonate into the cavity of the tablet and by placing tape over the outlet with a small opening this forces sound to move into the cavity more creating a speaker box of sorts this improved the bass a little(as much as can be expected) this also makes the sound, sound like its coming more from the front of the tablet. If someone was really ambitious, they could cover up the original speaker outlet, then make new ones on each side of the tablet this would make the sound come out of each side of the tablet, it wouldn't be true stereo, but its not like you can tell anyway with the small speakers so close together.

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Update: Each of the speakers has a silk screen over them attached to a foam surround, the foam surround is designed to seal up the speaker against the case forcing sound to mostly come out of the outlet, by removing the silk screen and foam surround, this allows for an even greater amount of sound to port into the body of the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] fozzie:
...or you could just plug in some half-decent external speakers.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] prestige777:
I do have a high quality portable speaker, but that's not really the point.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
That is actually pretty awesome, I had hoped to start with a ROM sometime, but one MOD doesn't save it considering (I've already said yes to atleast 70 developers to use the MOD) so it's more like fishing in deeper waters now :P

PS: We ought to get that time zone thing sorted out LOL I forget it's +12hrs? It's a good thing I caught glimpse of the phone when coming back from the loo

It scares me that I'm only willing to risk the software aspect of the device, and dead scared to mess with the hardware aspect lol.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lollyjay:
I had blown-out speakers, and used iFixit app to remove and replace with a new set. Following the directions was easy. Bottom line: if you are handy at all, you should have no problems.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] vn00914361:
I think we should put which one is for Stock, which one is for PA. It would help a lot, I guess
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
True I was thinking about that. But as it is before I do that. I'll make sure V2 is stable for all ROM'S before I separate them
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aLPaSLaN07:
Play a song in the background

-Launch DSP app

-Go to Speaker Settings

-Enable the "Beats Boost" (You will hear the sound goes really low)

-Enable Equalizer and Set it to "Acoustic" Preset (If you turn it off and on you will notice a mass difference):

Could it be Bass Boost? Because there is no option in my beats powered DSP app as Beats Boost..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kazekik:
I think Misledz make mistake. Bass boot not beats boot
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aLPaSLaN07:
I don't know about you guys but after applying this patch , my N7 consumes so much battery.. It screwes up something and causes battery drain.. How to revert it back to orijinal?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sean.trinidade:
Either restore your backup, or you'll need to reflash your ROM etc.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aLPaSLaN07:
Shouldn't be that much a major solution.. I can restore the altered files if I know what they are exactly..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Yeah I kinda messed that up, because original DSP based on Awesome's Beat's mod had it as "Beats Boost", but I had changed the revision of DSP which is why the options/name has changed too, Regardless the DSP is pretty straight forward, had it at the default options so people know what they want :)

Woah woah woah buddy that's a bit insulting :confused:, battery drain isn't an issue from my side, If anything that belongs to what kernel you're using, If it's franco his latest builds seem to drink alot of juice..:angel: which was why I used Trinity instead, better life. Also the 4 tabs I've had it tested on haven't reported anything of the sort. Also there's the fact that you have to consider what governor/scheduler you are on, and your WiFi/Apps in the background.

Also in theory only an App can consume battery like it's juice, but this isn't an app, it's a standalone mod with an app to control it, only 60% of the time you may need to use DSP. Also yes which is why I mentioned a nandroid backup, because I can't create a general revert as it will end up causing more troubles, I would need to create specifically two or perhaps 3 different builds which is just crazy, as it is the MOD has 4 revisions in under 48 hrs, what more the revert?

If needed I can post a screenshot of my Phone with 46hrs uptime before it died with the mod.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] poondog:
COOOOOOOOOOOOL

I don't know if there's difference between this and awesomebeats when it comes to sound quality

More testing tomorrow to see if there's difference between this and awesombeats

I can confirm that its working on Cookies and Cream 1.0.1 :) Sound is good so far, using Klipsch Image One to test :D

Thanks OP

Flashed on top of newly flashed PA 2.13 and Trinity 7. When trying to play videos in you tube app tablet freezes. Any ideas?

Edit:

well just flashed franco kernel and all is fine now. Guess its an issue with trinity
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dinhhviet:
Also on pa 2.13 motley kernel, didn't read carefully and flashed v4. But it worked out, YouTube, Apollo all work
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarjar124:
Anyone test it on rasbean yet?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Should work on it too, Also read the fine print! If it's an AOSP/AOKP/CM10, Then Beta3, If it's stock based, then Beta4.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] JishHD:
I made the amateur mistake of not backing up my tablet before installing this patch :( (which is funny because I've been doing this for several years now!)

Looks like I should just wipe it anyway then! I was thinking of installing Paranoid Android and a new kernel (I was using this one), but I read that franco kernel doesn't support overclocking?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Time to move onto greener pastures! PA is pretty good, and franco has always been about OC, perhaps N7 has some limitations. But I've read on games like Nova 3 that his kernel does allow it (Use something like NOFrills CPU) it's free, and better than SetCPU, and you can control the Min and Max.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarjar124:
I flashed beta3 on rasbean and got stuck on starting apps
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
That means it's not an AOSP/CM10 based ROM. So Beta4 is your assured 100% fix.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I'm handy in other aspects :p

Nexus 7 boot loop?

Hello all I am on a nexus 7 4.2.2 and was trying to install this mod but I think I may have installed the wrong version. I installed "NexusLouderV2Beta1.zip" and later realized I should have installed version 3 for 4.2.2. (Noob, I know). I was under the impression that the install worked correctly but after the apps were optimized the screen locked on "Android is upgrading... starting apps." and has remained there for over 2 hours. Is that because I installed the wrong version or would that come from some other problem?

Please HELP!!!!!! :eek:

thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NicoGa:
If you followed the guidelines in the OP, restore your NANDROID and flash the good version of the mod.

If you don't have a NANDROID ... maybe a dirty flash of your ROM can do the trick.

In the worth case, you will have to factory reset your device (it will not delete your data but your apps/settings) and reinstall everything ... but if you do not have a backup of your apps (done with an app such as titaniumbackup) you will have to start from ground.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] msjenkin:
So i had to go with the worst case scenario.. and it takes me to the same screen and no further.

Is there a worst worst case scenario? Would restarting the bootloader do anything?

I do have a backup of my apps so I am not too concerned with losing data, i just want to fix it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NicoGa:
You mean you did a factory reset, flashed your ROM, reboot and you still have the problem ? ... if yes I have hard time to believe you as the factory reset wipe everything except your data (there is a difference between your apps and your data)!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I wouldn't have a clue as to why you flashed a 4.2.1 on a 4.2.2 as they have no backward compatibility

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Tuckycv:
I'm on a Nexus 7 4.2.2 JDQ39 from what I understand I should install V3, can I go ahead and install V3 and the latest Beta, or should I install progressively? I'm kind of new to the nexus 7 and wouldn't want to break it.

Edit.- Also, what would be the difference between NexusLouderV3B8-Revert.zip, and the NO revert one?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Yes, you can install straight to the V3B8 if you haven't installed any other versions of the patch previously.

"revert" does just that, it reverts what was changed by flashing the NexusLouder patch. You need to also use the revert when upgrading to the next release.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Tuckycv:
So, since I haven't installed anything right now I just installs V3B8, and in the future when/if I upgrade I need to "revert" first?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
That is correct. I'm pretty certain you need to relfash the install package anytime you update your ROM too, but I could be wrong about that.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Tuckycv:
As of right now, I'm on stock ROM. I'm on UltimaROM on my Galaxy S 3, But I haven't got around to check ROMs for the Nexus 7. Anyone worth it?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Personally, I really like the PUB (Project Unicorn Butter) version of AOKP that MrRobinson has put together.

Wow, thanks for all the prompt responses guys, I guess I have to take a look at all the suggestions, I'm into a good mix between perfomance more oriented to battery life, I'm not a gamer on my tablet but more business side, so far only rooted, TWRP and franco kernel, I'll try a custom ROM.

Back to topic, Just flash and haven't play with it, and already I feel like my nexus sounds better, or it might just be a placebo effect.

"5. Choose EIZO ReWire PRO under Settings > Sound > Music Effects" OR choose Beats, so it's one or the other.

When you select it in "music effects" it may say it's stopped working like a force close, don't worry about that if it happens.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] stonebear:
Looking forward to this! :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] prestige777:
Is there anyway to add more steps to the volume? Right now there is barely 15 steps (my mp3 player has 43 steps)and basically without adjusting the volume via the volume slider on the screen, the volume is either too soft or too loud, of course its different for different headphones but more steps would be great in general. Also if you could steal the 10 band equalizer from poweramp that would be great lol :D
