More bass through earphones? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got my G2 for a few days now, on my previous phone, the One X, there was a mod I would flash that would add a equalizer menu to the music player.
It was great, you could choose from various presets or choose your own and one of them had insane bass that sounded amazing with DNB. Problem is I can't find any such thing, App or mod for my G2. The stock Music EQ just doesn't cut it and the equalizers I tried from the playstore don't even work for me :s

Viper4android is what you need, see this thread:

Going to try right away, thanks!
EDIT: Holy ****, this unreal, thanks a lot dude!
How hard will super quality eat my battery? It said something about drain.

It's all relative, but to me it's worth having better audio at the expense of a little extra battery usage. I'm coming from a galaxy nexus so anything over 2 hours (screen on) of battery life is gravy...

[Q] Music volume is so low!!! Help?

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help
You'll need an HTC phone with Beats Audio to go along with your Beats headphones.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...
Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...
Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:
dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume
Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.
I give it try thanks a lot

What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.

Dr. Dre Bass Beats for LG G2

Just install Power Amp or similar and play with the equaliser. You'll find it eventually but, in looking, I'm sure you'll find settings that sound far better (unless you're tone deaf of course).
Can anyone assist? Any luck with installing bass beats on LG G2 from package or running system, instead of having it installed with system ?
Any news here ?
If you are rooted the best sound mod I have personally seen is Viper4Android... Amazing software that gives you the ability to adjust just as you want ....
If you aren't rooted then the only option you have is to install another app like Poweramp or another music player with built in good equalizer

Ugh... All beats products are terrible. Both software and hardware.
If you want the beats sound signature on your lg phone, then just use viper and tune it for bass and make it drown out all mids and you got it.

this.
in the audio world, Bose stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment. They make high quality, proprietary audio equipment that's not compatible with other systems, and that is extremely overpriced. Their headphones and speakers are quality products, but you pay way too much for them.
Monster Cable makes overpriced audio cables. They are quality cables, but often needlessly so. there's absolutely no reason to buy a $100 hdmi cable. ever.
Beats by Dre is a combination of the two. Their headphones and speakers are of medium quality, tuned for deafening bass and terrible mids and highs, and sold at Bose prices. Their HTC Boom Sound software crap adjusts your phone's sound profile to match their ****ty headphones.
I would consider going deaf before using any Beats products.

Regarding viper 4 sound, I have no experience. however if the software requires root you may need to ensure the app is approved for root access in SuperUser or SuperSU. otherwise it will not have root access and will not be able to make any changes to the android system (ie it won't work)

I don't have that option. When I install V4A and Beats the standard music player on LG G2 with 4.4.2 activates it and it works.
Power Amp on LG G2 does not. I guess this is how I should start this thread but I just realised now. When I was using power amp on HTC with beats I had a button for Beats and SRS. No such thing in kit Kat for LG...
Is there a file or option in Android that I could modify and add power amp as a player ? The system must know when to activate sound processing when a music or movie player starts, but power amp does not activate it/is not on that list I guess...
Viper4android is actually a universal sound mod
So if it is activated any sound coming out of the phone will be altered by it , be it music or youtube video or anything else for that matter..
But since poweramp has its own equalizer you'll have to disable that and select viper4a in MusicFX in Tone/vol section
Btw which rom are you on? Because it worked for me on stock and cloudyflex but not on mahdi (viper4a doesnt affect poweramp)

Whilst I did not have any complain with my snapdragon 800 powered Note 3 I gotta say I just love the music player and audio quality of my G3 more with its astonishingly clear sound through headphones.
One of the reasons I bought this phone. Listening through headphones (ultrasone dj1 pro) about 5h/day.
According to the OP the best sounding phone is the HTC M8 & HTC Mini One :crying:

V4A is a piece of crap. If something is is for everything then it's for nothing. How can something that's made as a universal sound enhancement can work well throughout all kinds of phones with totally different hardware? I always say the best is stock! Designed specially for your phone with particular hardware. In some cases a port can do well such as xperia walkman and audio libs but not always.

That's like saying vandersteen speakers can only run with a tube amp or it just won't work. Not correct my friend. I have worked for R&D in a state of the art audio company my family owned and I currently work for a high end stereo company. If you know what your doing this app can greatly improve how your phone sounds. Especially with badly compressed files. But I'm not trying to change your mind. Just want you to know im semi educated.

It's kinda like adding a nice eq to an existing sound system. No offense taken. I can see what your saying but it is a pretty decent app. Better than beats or the Harmon edition of htc. I had both the m7 and m8 and used viper on both just to get it to sound the way I like. Plus it's free so if ya end up hating it just uninstall the driver and move on. Again no offence taken. Hope your day is going well.

There is a huge clarity improvement with Viper through my Shure SE535's and my AKG's.

Electrical Noise Through Headphones While Charging
Is anyone experiencing faint electrical noises, related to touch screen operations while you have headphones connected and the G3 is charging? I've tested two different sets of (wired) headphones and am experiencing the same issue in both cases. It only seems to occur when power is connected when charging. However, I listen to podcasts or music when going to sleep, while my phone is charging. So, this is a definite issue/concern for me. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks! I'll give it a go... Update: Works perfectly! And it integrates with Settings > Sound, unlike the others I have tried. I'll test it in the car on my way home and, if I continue to like it, I'll pay the $.99 to support the dev.
I use Rocket Player. It doesn't equalize all audio but it works very, very well for me when I listen to music. If you pay for the premium version you get a 12 band equalizer which is nice
I use Equalizer by Smart Android LLC. I dig the interface and like that it can auto select a preset based on the song you're listening to. If you get the paid version it can even auto select from streaming services.
Viper was the best. Wondering if any ex-Viper users have found any non root apps that they would approve of. Hopefully there's something out there that comes close to Viper.
I tried equaliser fx, liked that it replaced the stock audio effects in settings, it works ok, going to try a few more, really really miss viper!
I never really understood equalizer settings. Not sure what all the Hz's and dB's mean. Does anyone have a custom preset that would be similar to Viper's Treble Booster profile?
I get the differences loud and clear when I move it around.

It's simple. Db is decibels which associates to volume or amount you put to the frequency. Hz from lowest number is bass but once you get to the 100hz it's more mid range bass then khz is thousands of hz so like 10khz is 10,000 hz so that's treble for example
You and me both!!! Viper is/was AWESOME!

Please check in if you find any others that are good. Equalizer FX seems pretty good, but some of the settings don't seem to stick for me. I paid the $.99 to support the dev after I tried the free version, but I think the free version actually may work better than the paid version.

Best equalizer for the LG G6? (No root)

Hi guys, i just got a lg g6 and discovered it doesnt has a native equalizer. What is a good equalizer to download and use with the G6 without rooting it. I download the "equalizer pro" from google play, it looks to work (even has amp) but i wonder if there's something better.

I'm in the same boat. It's disappointing LG doesn't' include a native or global equalizer. It's hit or miss trying to find one that works and not cutting out and quit working. I have troubles with them on my Nexus 7 and the HTC One M7 i used to have. The 3rd party one's aren't always reliable. and definitely don't sound as good as poweramp. I cam from a Galaxy S7 and it had a nice EQ app on it. It's a shame samsung has all curved screens. I would go back to Samsung because of the EQ, great selection of themes for the native theme app, and a more reliable camera.

I have troubles with them on my Nexus 7 and the HTC One M7 i used to have. The 3rd party one's aren't always reliable. and definitely don't sound as good as poweramp. I cam from a Galaxy S7 and it had a nice EQ app on it. It's a shame samsung has all curved screens. I would go back to Samsung because of the EQ, great selection of themes for the native theme app, and a more reliable camera.

Try the Equalizer from the "Smart Android Apps, LLC". It's on the google play. It looks to work well here. Buy the unlocked version and try out. If you don't like, just refund it. Come back later with the results. I'm enjoying it

That's the one of ones that won't work on my Nexus 7 anymore. When I used it on the one m7 it only worked half the time. I didn't bother with it on the G6.

That's what I have now on my tablet. I haven't played streaming music lately so I can't remember if it works. I got the pro version free in the store. Usually pro versions aren't free.

From dvednua?
I switched recently from VLC to Poweramp pro. Well worth the $3.99 imho. That is, if you want a media player as well. The equalizer is ten band and has a powerful preamp and bass/treble boost . The sound over bluetooth with the built in aptX HD is excellent, I thought VLC was good but Poweramp blows it away. Plus it doesn't have much of an impact on the battery when playing music in the car.

How were you able to install this with no root? This is the one app that I want desperately

I second this post on both accounts.
The V4A driver won't install without root.

Works also for me and has no always on notification (only during playing music). I needed to disable "Global audio output mix" to get it running after reboot.
I'm still hesitate to root to install Viper4Android (that I usually use on my other devices). Except I want to know before if root disable the OTA of the system.
Best so far with no root
Try this app... Works system wide... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wiseschematics.reeq01

I just downloaded the app from mediafire and unzipped the file. It installed then automatically updated the app. I have a Verizon G6, so maybe that is the difference. I also have my developer options turned on. I wish I could give you more information, but I am not that technically proficient with Android.
Update..
Tried it again and it would not update without root access. The program loads but doesn't work. Sorry, should have tried before posting.
Just stumbled across this, i dont know if you're still looking for it, but I've found that the Cyanogen Audio FX works just fine for most applications. You can get it without root via the Appstore, there's an app called "Cyanogen Apps", which offers you every Cyanogen Specific app to download and install. It is 100% safe and I've used it on many phones so far without root. One downside however is that it sometimes takes a while to catch up if you switch songs manually. Also, you will need to fiddle a bit with your battery saver settings as they are likely to kill the app when it is idle for a short amount of time (which happens after switching manually). It offers great bass boost settings as well as a virtualizer (which im not a fan of) and basic controls, i. E. 5 frequency settings, similar to the built in equalizer which only works for the native music app. Sound quality stays similar and unless you are using 600 dollar studio equipment, you will not hear a drop in quality.
