Root Beats Audio on LG Connect WORKING! (Now with Visual Proof!!!)

Dracconus said:
Got proof and results for you all to see. Hopefully this will help people realize there's no sense in trying to stir a debate over something that they have no knowledge in.
All settings remained the same, and untouched, and while the audio is SLIGHTLY off sync, anyone with common sense can tell where they're suppose to match up, and see the difference in audio response.
Glad to have been of assistance :D

Good job on finally proving this mod true, beats is a decent equalizer ;)

Exactly, to me it just sounds like some heavier base and tones rounded off more, but when I switch it on and off in the middle of a song I can tell a difference on my phone. Srs and dolby eqs are equally as nice :rolleyes:

Any way to turn beats off/on? I been reading and seems the only way is as a dsp?

i am sure that a way to do that could exist if it were coded into the core of the dsp where android calls it for activation and trigger a request for response but i couldnt do it. as for another way the stock player on connect doesnt use it other players (poweramp i onow for sure) are coded to use it if its libs exist so yeah. would explain further but am at hotel on phone atm.

is there a way to see if it really made a difference with a tool or something, I'm really curious to see if this works with the speakers Dolby does amazing with the headphones I'm more interested in the speakers.

uhm...there is visual proof in the main post and as for whether the phones speaker would sound different probably not. its a half watt piece of junk on an 8ohm trans so it cant even play stock good as a flat eq let alone something designed to give deeper drops on hz levels lower than 25. that would just reduce volume on the audio because it cant push what the software is trying to make it.
 
Ok, I'm a little late coming in on this but I just downloaded version 5.1 two days ago. I am a music freak. I play 5 instruments, all self taught. I don't need to do any type of testing to know if this works, my ears work just fine...bionic nearly. I use Neutron music player and it has a built in equalizer, Beats works great using Neurton, stock, without any kind of speakers, if I have my sony phone speakers hooked up to it or if I hook up my external laptop speakers to it.There is a big difference....to my ears at least. Then again, I hear music differently than most people. This is one download I'm glad I did. I have another one I'm checking out and if it turns out it works, I'll post. (not music)

The biggest debate isnt if it works or not, its that its no better than anything else readily available and alot simpler to install. ;)

You mean v 2.1? Did you just get it off the play store?
 
I for one appreciate the time and effort you put into bringing this to our phone as I'm sure many others do..... unfortunately some just feel the need to talk sh*t no matter what
 
I want talking shiz at all. I just want to know if the latest version on the market works fine it the one in this thread is better? I want to install it.

What are you talking about? This threads been dead for 2 months
 
I can also confirm that it works.

Tested by An audio engineering student at Miami Dade college Kendall campus.
 
hmmm, I know the thread has been dead for awhile, that is why I said, I know I'm late coming into the game. I posted it on this thread because why start a new one? Plus, I said 5.1 because I meant 5.1. I will admit this stupid brain does make me get easily confused but I got my download from xda and it clearly said BeatsAudio5.1 I actually just copied and pasted that I didn't type it myself. It's a zip and much easier can you get to install? You just flash it through cwm. I think a lot of people are just nay sayers because they can't actually SEE anything on their phones that say beatsaudio. Whatever. I was just saying what I thought about the situation. I thought my sound was pretty decent before.....especially coming off that horrific sound on the admire. Now it's fantaboulous and I'm happy.

You should have heard the ascend. Only stock headphones work via the 2.5 (yes, 2.5)mm Jack.

I wasnt talking about you in my last post, nothing wrong with reviving a relevant thread. i was talking to the person I quoted because none of the recent posts were talking bad about the mod and he just kinda complained
 
Oh, I was just trying to cover all the replies in one post so nobody misunderstood what I was trying to say. When I said that it wasn't so much at you but just in general in case anyone got the idea you were saying that to me. Basically when I posted, I was just happy and wanted to share. It's really sad when there are people that want to doubt instead of asking, "how"? Or they could just say, "I'm glad it works for you, it doesn't for me" and leave it at that. It's really that simple.

OK, so o trust the guys at mdc but I underestimated the amount this tweakedy sound... I found three new tones in a Will Smith song (screw you haters, that man has flow), "lost and found" while going to the job site this morning and listening via aux input.

Ok, when he said this, I thought, hmm, there is beats in the playstore? Not exactly, but there a program that installs drivers. Since I had to reroot my phone today I downloaded the drivers before I flashed the zip back. Honestly, I'm having some trouble with my audio when I have speakers hooked up to it, but it is divine when it's just regular.
