Rockbox for Xperia S - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

So I was trying out all the various music apps out there to see which one has the best audio quality and great bass and came across RockBox. I am sure those of you who are "audiophiles" must have heard of rockbox a lot, but for those who haven't its basically "magic that makes already great sounding devices sound even better"
Personally I feel SQ with Rockbox player is fantastic and easily better than PowerAmp and other apps. Though mind you, it doesn't have a fancy UI, no album art, well you could even call it inconvenient but if you are looking for the best SQ then I believe you can't get better than this.
Download the 1280x720 apk from here

Just tried Neutron, its damn good no doubt !!. But I feel Rockbox is better. Neutron EQ isn't very great and also sound seems fuller with Rockbox and you can play around with more settings with it as well.
So at least for me No other player matches rockbox in terms of SQ.
My observations :
Volume is now very good, higher than stock player +beats mod 3.0 Significantly higher
Bass is STRONG
Soundstage and stereo effect is better and overall sound is much more engaging and punchy than stock semc music or any other app (WITH beatsmod 3.0)

hello mas bro
how u change the language. i tried to rename the folder (it back to very small english font), remember the choice to go to language setting, rename back the folder (rockbox get the bigger chinnese font), but forget the choice to the language setting
any easier way?

Yea guys I know! UI is terrible but I am okay with it as the SQ is to die for !. Also I noticed that it consumes much less battery than the stock music player. Much less in fact.

Hallo juga mas bro
So u open the rockbox folder, find config.cfg , open it with text editor,
Find this line
lang: /.rockbox/langs/deutsch.lng
The default setting setting is in chinese.lng
Change the chinese or english or whatever language u want
Do it the same way on /rockbox/themes
Find file themes m9.cfg
And open again with text editor
Find the line
lang: /.rockbox/langs/deutsch.lng
Change it to english.
I'm using german as my default language

Amazing Just compared my XS with my Sony Walkman now and with RockBox my XS sound 90% as good as my Walkman !! And 90% volume too. Very loud !
(Earlier with BeatsMod 3.0 XS was only 70% as good as Walkman )

keep it simple! the stock player is the best + dolby surround!

I hope you haven't forgotten about the theming system.

If the UI sucks I have no desire to even try it. I dont want to fumble around a clunky ui.

Totally agree.. Better than poweramp or any other music player out there in terms of sound quality.
Hate the UI though..Is there a way to make icons and text bigger? Can I reduce the resolution?

Want text bigger?? there is version in 480x800 resolution for my sola works fine

Some buttons not working
In the cabbie theme ow playing screen, the next button and the pause button are not working as a result I have to remove the earphones to stop it from playing further.. Am I missing a setting or is anybody else experienced this b4.

For me "Jet Audio plus" still rules in all the way. Everything perfect.

It is working fine for me. Make sure you got the right resolution and try calibrating your screen from the Settings menu inside the app.

[Q] Remove Sense and Louder Volume ?

Hey guys im new to this forum after hours of surf i regged me.
I want to know how i can remove the crappy sense and put a Theme like this
attachment.php?attachmentid=376985&d=1281399357
onto it.
Sorry i cannot post links due the restriction but i need to show it for my question.
I got leedroid 1.8
and i just wanna know how i can turn the music player louder... the loudest volume is not enough for me....
and how to make the ext3 partition for app2sd ?
Up.
to shoaaat
External speakers ? Phone is ok here .. very loud etc... it 's a very small speaker .. how loud do you want ?
Remember it's an phone not an 1980's gehto blaster
Errrrm right at the moment theming is kinda hard because we dont have full r/w access so you cant use metamorph. You can use launcher pro to get a different dock and apply everything manually though.
I dont no about making the phone louder tbh.
And to make an ext3 partition go into rom manager, go to partition sd card. Use 512mb with swap of 0. This will wipe your sd card though so back it up. Use an app called quick system info to see if it worked (should say A2SD storage).

Sounds rubbish to my ears. Very tinny and lacking bass and with weird phasing. Not good for music, that's for sure.

Xperia S Headphone Volume

I have read quite a lot about this issue, but haven't found a solution yet. The volume output on my Xperia S is very low, but I know there is something which is restricting it from producing a louder volume because when I play a movie using MX player the volume is very loud and crisp.
How do I increase the volume through the headphones? Any fix/mod fr the same?

make sure that your phone is rooted,go to play store,download beats audio installer,it did wonders for me....if its still not loud enough
download poweramp,select the loud preset and boost the preamp all the way up
the reason why mx player produces louder sound compared to the stock players because it uses software decoding as opposed to hardware decoding which lets it bypass the inbuilt limit the same applies to poweramp
XS
try volume+ on the playstore,the volume 's good but the sound is not good :|
cheers :good:
Did you delete the sound level alert apk? I had this issue of it not going above half volume because I deleted the apk before anything else. I had to put it back and let it warn me before removing it.

Exactly my case. Removed SoundLevelAlert.apk and now can't increase volume with headphones plugged.
I copied the apk back to phone, installed it, but nothing changed. I still can't increase volume over 8/15. Rebooted - no luck.
It was a system app, maybe you can't make it work by just installing the apk?
Any ideas?
//Sony Xperia P, ICS
MX player can play audio files if you do a little tweaking in the settings. The audio quality is just awesome using the h/w+ decoder, beats any market player app in this regard. Hope they make a audio player. Poweramp was good but the sound quality was terribly unpleasant on increasing the volume so I ruled it out.
I have the same problem, but do not delete anything. Any idea?
Hm, I don't have these problems. I'm using the Headset which was delivered which my Xperia S or the SONY MDR XB-500 and I think it's loud enough.
My Musicplayer is PowerAmp. So maybe you could change your musicplayer?
Buy headphones with increased sensitivity
i pushed the attached app in system/app !
set permissions to rw-r-r and it gives me warning everytime i exceed the volume and i can exceed the volume to 100% max !
this apk should work with all stock ics based roms !
Would you please care to tell us which headphones you have cuz maybe your headphones might not be compatible with Xperia ... But if you are having issues with speaker too than its altogether a different evil

All those who have their headphones volume stuck at 50% or 60%, just flash this zip in CWM and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache - http://d-h.st/caM
Reboot and enjoy. It is confirmed to we working for most of the people.
I noticed louder music when bass boosting and all those fancy settings in stock player and poweramp are turned off
Acid Audio Engine v7 did the job for me and the sound quality is much much better and louder now.

[REQ] SRS Sound Mod for OG!

I think that SRS enhancement makes music sound better, much better than DSP or Beats, at least in my old HTC Desire HD, i miss such a great SRS, but I need power, so i bought OG Could someone port this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353148 ?

Is Viper4Android compatible with OG? I downloaded zip pack from vipersaudio.com , when i was trying to flash it (i use Philz Touch Recovery , CWM based) , i got "installation aborted" message. Tell me, what i should do, because I'am very curious, i hope that mod mentioned by you is not so crappy as Noozxoide (it had only compessor working, any other fx didn't gave me any difference on very good headphones)
Yes it's. Others users have installed it. Search here in XDA the apk file.
edit: link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456073
If you get a zip (probably you got it but don't install trough cwm), unzip and install as a normal apk and follow instructions,

Oh, thank you Viper4Android provides really good sound, it has great benefits (but some drawbacks too).
I haven't tried Convolver yet, because i did'nt downloaded plugins yet. .
My feelings are that:
-Bass is not so powerful as I wanted, but it's quite natural
-Higher freqs are good, i think they are better than using DSP Manager
-I like so much Haas Surroround effect, but it lowers bass
-Other Surroround effects are just bad as DSP Manager Virtual Surroround effect.
-In my opinion FIREqualizer is the same as in DSP Manager
But there are the main disadvantages:
-Even if the bass is so low (i mean deep), it's distorted a bit, when there's a bit more of bass. SRS provides ultra low freq, pumping bass without any distortion.
-Midtones and sound dynamics, there's no "WOW" effect, there's no depth they are a bit flat I remember well how SRS made midtones were so intense, like SRS could auto-fit to every other song/tracks.
Your suggestion helped me much,anyway if someone will port SRS to our phones, i'll try this "beauty"
Old love will not be forgotten:laugh:

So...here you can have some problems because:
-stock player (you mean LG's player?), problably it won't work, you have to use any music player which support external equalizer (try Google Music Player, or Apollo).
-if you you Superuser instead SuperSu, you can have problem with V4A
-if you have any other "Equalizer app" like DSP Manager or Awesome BEATS, or AC!D or Noozxoide, you should delete them and restart the device, or just run V4A, go to V4A's Settings and try safe/compability mode, and restart of course
I not am sure, will it be working on stock, but it's working on CM based roms, you can try modded stock roms like SAVVY or Epsilon

- I have superSu.
- I dont have any other equlazer app.
- I also think that it is because of stock launcher.
The last thing I havent tried yet is the Apollo music app.
And could you also please tell me where are those drivers are installled?
After I install V4A and its drivers, I do not see any driver folder in my folders.

Hello,
The problem is that sometime it is working and sometime not. I have stock and shuttle player. I have got it to work on stock as on shuttle, but not every time. You can check by selecting driver status in Vfx (for headset or phone speaker) if it is enabled as well if it is working.
When it work, its great.
I am also rooted and on stock rom.

I think the problem is stock rom...maybe it doesn't support external eq's. Just try stock modded like Epsilon or SAVVY. Don't worry, you can backup your app data (savegames, and various in-app settings) by using Titanium Backup. V4A is working for sure in any CM based rom. So I recommend you flashing Vanir, PAC-Man or ThinkingBrigde.
any problems that can be (if you really want to stay on your current rom):
-when you launch V4A app first time, does it asks you for SuperUser/root permission? It must asking for root permisions, without this, it won't work
-how did you installed V4A? flashing it from .zip file is not the best idea, my suggestion is downloading it from Play Store (yep, this one with chineese or japanese chars)
BTW, it was using V4A but I'm not so pleased from using it. When I found my fav presets for some songs, they were sounded (sorry 4 my english) much better, i felt they are wider in sound, but when I listened other songs, which they was surroround effects (stereo effects-yep, I am talking about electronic dance music) without modifying sound, with the same presets, all the effect was worse than without V4A. Generally, some some sound better, some worse using it. Furthermore V4A, distortes bass a bit too much, so instead of ultra loooow and clear bass, we have sth nice but distorted , even with using limiter. It's only my opinion, but trust me I am almost audiophile (lol) . I think the genius of SRS WOW HD (the same as in Desire HD) is that, it's changes own presets dynamically, depending of songs (omg, what a shame that SRS is ported for Optimus L7 but not our OG ).
You can try AC!D Sound Mod too, it should be working using stock rom, but I'm not sure if it's fully working, it has some partial bugs and missing some features. The most universal Equalizer at this moment is DSP Manager

I think the genius of SRS WOW HD (the same as in Desire HD) is that, it's changes own presets dynamically, depending of songs (omg, what a shame that SRS is ported for Optimus L7 but not our OG ).
You can try AC!D Sound Mod too, it should be working using stock rom, but I'm not sure if it's fully working, it has some partial bugs and missing some features. The most universal Equalizer at this moment is DSP Manager

Thank you very much mate
Acid is the better, I used all the equalizer, but acid with fauxsound is the best.

If you are using ViPER4Android please try this:
Ultimate Music Effects Mods and Settings
This is a tutorial on using audio mods and settings to achieve maximum sound quality from the devices you are using. Any decent pair of headphones or earphones are capable of delivering much higher quality sound than they do using default device settings and equalizers, and you'll be surprised how far a little tweaking will take your whole music experience.
Mods You Will Need
The magic is made possible entirely thanks to ViPER's Audio,http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2191223, which you will need to install to use the settings described in this thread. Visit the ViPER's Audio page (linked above) and follow their instructions listed in their thread to get ViPER4Android FX installed on your device.
You will also need DSP Manager for a single setting in this tutorial, I've attached the APK for DSP Manager 2.0
The Settings
Once you have ViPER4Android FX and DSP Manager installed, use the following settings to take your music to a whole new level.
ViPER Settings...
MASTER POWER
Enable: This must of course be enabled to switch on the music effects.
PLAYBACK GAIN CONTROL
Enable: Enable PlaybackAGC
Effect Strength: Moderate
Max Gain: 4x
Max Output: -1.9dB
Leave FIREQUALIZER, CONVOLVER, FIELD SURROUND, DIFFERENTIAL SURROUNND, HEADPHONE SURROUND +, and REVERBERATION disabled.
DYNAMIC SYSTEM
Enable: Enable dynamic system.
Select Listening Device: Set to Common Earphone V2
Select Dynamic Bass: Set to 33%
Tube Simulator: Leave tube simulator disabled
FIDELITY CONTROL
Enable Viper Bass: Enable Viper Bass
Select Bass Mode: Set to 40Hz (I've chosen this because it significantly enhances the bass experience in music, by making the bass more "felt" than heard. This makes bass feel more powerful and realistic, but because it requires a decent set of earphones or headphones to actually work properly. By setting the Bass Boost higher for less powerful speakers, it may be possible to achieve the desired bass effect. If bass seems too weak at 40Hz, feel free to set it to 60Hz or even 100Hz as required. Because 40Hz takes real speaker power to pull off, I've noticed that for most earphones it makes bass crisp and powerful without completely overpowering music.)
Select Bass Boost: 10.0dB (for use with a Bass Mode of 40Hz on most headphones and earphones, but may be adjusted as needed on less powerful speakers)
Enable Viper Clarity: Enable Viper Clarity
Select Clarity Mode: Set to XHiFi (I've found that XHiFi enhances the highs and vocals much more effectively than Natural, and really emphasizes sounds that may not even have been heard before)
Select Clarity: Set to default (This ensures that even though highs and vocals are more prominent, they are not overpowering)
AUDITORY SYSTEM PROTECTION
Enable Cure Tech+: This setting is completely optional. Leaving it unchecked ensures that every single detail of music is still heard, while checking it slightly removes very high highs and protects your hearing.
Select Binaural Level: If you do enable Cure Tech+, I'd recommend at least a Moderate setting to truly benefit from the setting. It doesn't have too much of a negative impact, and after getting used to it, music still sounds amazing.
MASTER GATE (LIMITER)
Output gain: 0dB
Channel Pan- 0.5:0.5
Limit Threshold: 0dB
DSP Manager Settings...
The only thing you need to change in DSP Manager is setting
DYNAMIC RANGE COMPRESSION
Enable: Enable Dynamic Range Compression
Select Effect Strength: Extreme
(This brings all elements of the music to an equal volume, which makes music much more detailed and brings out sounds you never heard before, while keeping any bass or vocals from becoming too powerful)
You can double check all of these settings in the images attached.
Remember to hit the Thanks button if your music has never sounded better

NOTE: Please don't forget to thanks EttyN, here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48232144&postcount=1
You need to change the UI to Expert.
I've not installed DSP Manager at the moment and I've changed only the parameter in bold to 6dB, because the sound was a little bit low...
Edit: I advice to keep DSP Manager, the sound improvement is notable!
Hey guys,
I don't know if this fits in this thread, but you were already speaking about it.
So my question is: How to get Viper4Android flawlessy working on the Optimus G? I have tried it many times and with different versions on the stock rom (rooted of course), but when i got i to work and rebooted the phone it didnt work anymore.
It only worked with Neutron Music Player and then I rebooted the phone and it didnt work!
Please help me

Headset volume not very loud

So I picked up my LG3 for sprint over the weekend. Loving the phone so far, coming from a HTC one M7. Definitely prefer the G3 in every aspect however one thing I noticed is the headset volume is not as loud. Which sucks because I use my phone at the gym and it's a big difference from the HTC one. Is there an app that you guys would recommend to solve this issue? I saw someone mention the Beats Audio app, but can't seem to find it...
OR am I stuck until we can get a root and load a kernel to fix this?

Which headset/earbuds are you using?
Which music player are you using?
I use PowerAmp for Android (I also purchased the unlocker).
This app has hands down the best equalizer/booster/settings for any aspect of listening to music.
Try the free version, if it has solved your problem you may consider buying the unlocker.
Hope this has helped you out

Thanks Man,
I can use the stock music player it comes with since it has an equalizer as well and noticed it does make it louder. However, I mostly stream through soundcloud and so the equalizer doesn't have an effect on that.
There are also equalizers that will alter all the sound coming out of the phone.
No matter what the audio source is.
This app does that, you might give it a try.

You can change all the audio settings using ViperAudio search XDA and you will find the page, i have used this and doubles the volume and clarity, must have android mod..
I am using klipsh ear buds and they are super loud. Hurts my ears to go past about 75%. And I don't have sensitive ears either. I have a jl w7 13.5 which blasts my ears about 2 hours a day
