What does this do exactly? Is it just a DSP that adds more bass or something(read: Not technically improving anything), or does it somehow make better use of the audio hardware/software in Android?
Its much more than just "adding bass".. there's a ton of players with eq to do that and another ton on EQ apps to do that too. This uses some neat code to provide clean EQing which in turn makes things sound cleaner and better.

Mind you, for you to notice the difference, your source (audio file) has to be of good quality, at least 320kbps mp3. If you have good recording in FLAC or WAV, try listening before and after this mod (with quality cans of course). The difference is clear.

I have sennheiser cx300ii
Yes, works fine with PowerAmp. PowerAmp uses native code but mostly for lossless and other codecs that are not explicitly supported by Android. Also, it does not bypass the system entirely.




I guess. No trademark or copyrighted app has been used. Its just modified code.




You need good headphones that have enough range. On regular $30 cans, it will sound the same no matter what..
The sound is much cleaner, tighter and deeper bass, clean highs and crisp mids. The sound is definitely a LOT better!




Yes it does.





No, the differences are quite obvious, provided you have capable headphones which can show the result. The difference is quite clear on the few headphones I tested - Sennheiser HD380, ATH M-50, Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro (even without my Fiio in between).


P.S - For everyone asking "Will this work on my this with that player on XYZ ROM":

----> It will work as long as you're on a GB ROM. Try it and post if you come across any issues. Don't ask dumb questions and please read the OP twice if you can't get it the first time.

I'm an htc developer and i want to say some things...the first is that these files are in wrong directory :) the headphones bin are located in system/etc and mounted in /etc/ and the lib's right location are in system/lib/soundfx/

Then i want to say that this is only a software equalization :) the real beats audio is an audio driver located in kernel and radicated in the system and hardware ;) good work friends!

If you have a good Eq AND you know how to set it, you'll not have more bass!
It feel like a filter, the bass is deeper, clearer, the med also and the trebble too
-> It really makes the sound clearer
It's makes a huuuge difference with a 320 Kbps mp3 or FLAC and a real headphone and with high quality earphone, and it's even better with voodoo LOUDER wich hacking the hardware of my phone

So if we were to manually copy the files from the following 3 folders in the zip where would they get copied to in the system files?

system\bin
system\etc
system\lib

any help would be much appreciated!

For those who have problems with CWM (Status 0) and aborted!

1. Extract the flash.zip with 7zip

2. Place the files inside
/system/bin
/system/etc
/system/lib

manually with any Root Explorer App to the respective /system folders :)


The three folders are

/system/bin
/system/etc
/system/lib

Hope I helped ya'all :D

Interesting... I just flashed it with CWM 5.0.2 and no errors but none of the files are actually on my device when I look in each directory they do not exist. I also tried flashing with TWRP 2.0, no errors also did not flash the zip

stock Evo 3d rooted

*shrug* people who say its working should double check to see if it actually is installed or if they are victims of a placebo effect

I think the system/lib files from the zip should go here: system/lib/soundfx? Is this correct?
