You flashed Cyanogenmod

Did you flash the Beats + Xlouder 4.1.1mod?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889522

I did install the JB louder audio patch. I am running a stock ROM.
Any harm in disabling Apollo?

does jb louder work?
Does the jb louder work?Can you notice the improvements.The beats I notice a quality improvement but don't notice my device being any louder.

You could disable it, i dont see the harm in it. but its a great music player

IMO Apollo is horrible. It's ugly, buggy and does not have a lot of functionality. Can't understand why CM10 includes it.

Yeah the BETA was so much better. Doesn't really make sense. Apparently the dev is rewriting it (like the 454534534th time) but it seems more like a dropped project.

I really do like Spotify's simple interface tbh. Not many do though lol

Apollo music player is included in the beats+xlouder zip.
No harm in disabling it, just that your music player may not support the mods. You could even go to /system/app and delete apollo.
I use the Sony Walkman player ported from the Xperia T and its really good

[req] pleeeeeeeeeez do this!

Could anyone who has ported the stock MusicPlayer.apk to CM9 post it here! I've been trying to do this for weeks and i cant seem to get it right (mainly because I have no experience with command prompt). It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
couldn't you just pull the apk and stick it in to system?

Nope as it requires TouchWiz stuffs which CyanogenMod does not have.

You can download the Android Music Player from the Market and replace the one you have. It is exactly the same player.

The music player is one of the reasons I almost never flash miui or cm7
Honestly the music quality got better for me when I stopped using 5.1 and started using a custom equalizer and sound effect
For custom equalizer I use 4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4
And for effect I use bass enhance
The custom equalizer increases treable and some bass too

Yeah I tried others, but they don't come close to the touchwiz music player. I really want it on CM9.

Yes, but, then Voodoo had claimed Beats Audio did a better job than itself.
So, it's OK to use Beats Audio.
However, you'll find Beats Audio pretty useless if you're using an Equalizer.
Because Beats Audio is simply a Build-in Equalizer preset to make your phone sounds louder n clearer only.

Thanks for clarifying. I was wrong but you can still use DSP Manager. CM9 ROM comes with it pre-installed
+1 for DSP Manager, awesome app
For the beats audio mod, after I installed, it said the sound fx was not responding then closed the sound fx system app
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
if you use DSP, Equalizer, AudioManager, or anything like that, stay away from Beats. Hell, even MusicFX is better than Beats. Beats does nothing other than boost the lows, which only makes certain types of music sound better but mostly just muddies the sound of everything.

Re,
No worries
So many people expected that they came to believe that it exist,like Voodoo Colors (whatever there is a beta)...
Also Volume+ does the job (Eq Preset->Beats emulation).

Using it on AOKP. The beats manager thing posted above is in the Mod but it is just a re-named /themed DSP manager. There is no “beats" eq preset.
And it throws in a Google music player that uses the beats logo instead of the stock white headphones for the notification icon.

[Q] Your best sound quality ROM setup?

Hey XDA, new member here trying to get past the 10 post limit so I can dive into the Android Development Forum. I've always trusted XDA's members for the best for my EVO, have had it for 2 years and have experimented with quite a few ROM/kernel/mod combinations, and I'm just starting to post. My question is, what has been the best sound setup you have come across with the EVO, and why, how, etc.
I've tried maaany things, but I seem to find the best sound quality in Sense ROMs with DSP Manager, no Beats or ACID sound mods. Just throw in PlayerPro with DSP pack and it feels like your a sound engineer at a Rush concert. Can anyone 1up that?
Cheers.
Bumping, 'cause c'mon.

you are really playin the game of personal opinions here. i have to agree with you dsp manger with a eq built in to the player is a good way to go. I currently use winamp pro with dsp but on cm7.2 and it sounds real solid. I have a galaxy nexus i actually use dsp and aosp with but i havent quite dedicated it to music as much since its only 16 in comparison to the 32 gb i have in my evo.

Ok, I'll bite!
Tried quite a few sound mods - my favorite combo is:
AC!D Audio Engine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002367&highlight=acid
then flashing this
Megabass Audio Booster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074977
On CM7 base roms it adds a modified DSP EQ
On CM9/CM10 roms it adds a modified Beats DSP EQ
With the AC!D engine as a base, I found nothing that sounds better!
So you're recommending the cm9 base?

Why don't you try Some good Music Players.I'll Suggest Poweramp or Neutron Music Player.
Poweramp Music Player: Good Balance between intuitive ui and good sq.
Neutron Music Player : Arguably without eq has better sound quality than
poweramp at the expense of ui (below average actually)
Hope this helps :angel:

[MOD] CM DSPManager Universal ZIP v4.7 (JB 4.3/4.2.2)

Hi guys!
Personally I'm a fan of CM DSPManager (better sound and options than MusicFX),so I made a flashable zip for other ROMs other than CM :highfive:
Just flash on your favorite recovery and profit (it will remove crappy MusicFX.apk)
Just try!
NEW: v4.6 support for JB 4.3, universal script works with N7, N4, Gnex, NS and probably others :good:

Works just fine in AOKP, the issue are those players you used, probably they are not using Android Standard Sound Framework.
Tried with Google Music and MX Player, works great

How to have a good quality with the speakers?

Hi,
With a ROM like CyanogenMod 11, AOKP... the sound quality with the speakers is pretty good. But with the Stock ROM, the sound quality is poor. How have the same sound quality with a AOSP ROM?
Thank you!

How does the sound differ on the CM ROM? Just bought this tablet and thinking about returning it.
Coming from a Galaxy Tab 7.7 the sound on this tablet is horrible. It's difficult to hear voices through other sounds,everything is "tinny" and mashed together,
which is a problem as I use the tablet mostly for Youtube and Twitch.

I know what you mean, audio is horrible with stock and is the primary reason i went 3rd party to confirm whether it was sw or hw in order to decide whether to return it; it's just that bad.
happy to report audio is great in mahdi which is cm based. but i think it can be safely confirmed this is some sort of audio layer LG junk.
It's definitely some LG custom audio processing that ruins the sound. It's better in the KitKat official update, tunnely sound is gone but still there's some compression going on that makes many things sound weird and boxy - also some kind of bass enhancement? I can confirm the sound is much more normal in Custom roms.
But now that I installed the stock KitKat update, I'm thinking of trying THIS workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694246
I'll tell you how it goes. I hope not too bad.

lol sorry. It's a mod called "PureAudio 2.0" whick you can flash from a custom recovery and there's a thread in Xda somewhere. I installed it, I noticed some improvent, I didn't install the stupid player the creator tries to shove down your throat (no offense if you're reading this! )

Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Premium HD app
I realised today that PureAudio doesn't do much with LG's audio layer. The lousy stock compression is still there. You can hear what it does mostly when there is some reverb of echo in a sound, like the google now sound right after it registers a voice command/search. It explodes the reverb/echo volume to god. We must find a fix for this without having to install a whole new rom. Someone maybe can detach the CM11 audio thingies and make a flashable zip? Research must happen.
