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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I really used to love the audio quality in windows. Now this was only the case when using audio booster. It just made the highs higher, and the midtones richer.
Is there anything like audio booster for android? I really miss my custom presets
i 100% agree with you winmo + audio booster + srs wow hd completely pwns android in terms of sound quality. Search the forums for "meltus audio hack", i remember using it on my g1 and it helped a lot. (there should be an app in the market too however you should check it is comatible with our builds first)
try LVH 3.6 (Loud Volume Hack 3.6) need rooted rootfs
louder volume hack only works for g1 and mytouch 3g he hasnt updated it to support new phones
*Bump* Anyone that can make a Program that looks and works as good as: Audio Booster v2.5? i'm even willing to pay for it!

In the market there's a music player called PowerAMP. It costs about 2 or 3 bucks if I'm not wrong. There you have a 10 band equalizer and so on. Try it out.

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

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...
I have made changes to Settings > Sound > Audio Effects for both wired and speaker and have yet to notice any difference regardless of the changes I make. Even when I make extreme changes just to see an effect I get nothing. Has anyone been able to get a noticeable change my modifying these settings?
Thanks.

I've experimented with various EQ apps and the one I really like is called Equilizer FX. It doesn't switch/reset the last profile used and I like the profile settings and effects.

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.
I spent a couple days testing out different equalizers as I wasn't satisfied with the built in one and spoiled by viper.
This is the best one I've found and I thought I'd share.
Equalizer and Bass Booster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=music.bassbooster.equalizer
Music player of choice: black player, poweramp, stellio(best ui IMO)
Side note: Check out the Veva s220 headphones for better sound than beats and heavier bass!! They are cheap and the battery lasts longer than any Bluetooth headphones over ever had. Bose, Beats and others I've owned over the years don't come close. They're on Amazon.com.
Thanks for sharing! I'm rooted right now rocking Viper but very well may flash back to stock again soon. Gonna need something like this LOL

Rooted on Note7 or something else. Viper is literally the ONLY reason rooting matters to me.... I would kill for a non root fix.
I tried this and it is like the others for me. There just doesn't seem to be a replacement for Viper. All these EQ's do the same thing for me. If you turn up the base for example, it muffles or turns down the treble. It is like it is robbing from one to give to the other instead of just turning up the band you are trying to adjust.
Thanks for sharing though, the UI is nice and simple.
I just downloaded Poweramp Pro again and used it to play some saved music. Its EQ works like Viper and doesn't suffer from the same issue I talked about above. It will be great for saved music but I listen to a lot of streamed music from Google Play Music and some Pandora.

What's up @chipworkz.. last seen OK on the n5.
Hope life has been treating you well.
I agree after using my n7, viper is truly a need for this phone. And the play sound from the earpiece mod that @SashhaFranko made. I am hoping a more stable method of root is achieved, seems buggy for now. Check ya later.

Rooted on Note 7. Using the leaked Sprint firmware. It's not that bad really. No WiFi Calling or VoLTE (can live without personally). And of course no Samsung Pay or Android Pay. Everything else seems pretty decent thus far.

Hard to say. Only been running that leaked firmware since Saturday night but it's been pretty stable/smooth for me thus far. I never had an S7 or S7 Edge but from what I'm reading this leak/root is better than what they were facing.
First let me say there is currently no replacement for Viper for non root devices. Nothing comes close. It's the only reason I've rooted after the Note 2. Would be great if Google purchased them and applied Viper directly to Android.
I prefer a EQ app that can be used for ALL sound sources that can be played by Android. To that end, I've used Equalizer for those times when I couldn't install Viper.
Im using the alpha version of poweramp with 24 bit enabled sounds like viper too when activated

That app just uses the built in eq, adding some presets to it. Unfortunately there is no replacement for Viper.

Not on Google play. Only in Napster.
Google play doesn't offer a built-in EQ for its self.
You'll have to double up on apps for Google play to have an EQ.
But I have yet to find a user friendly EQ app that can over lap with a player app.
Only other option is to find player apps that have built-in EQ.
