Nice effort but really falls flat. Adds a lot of noise. Doesn't appear to support many file types. Haven't narrowed down exactly what is supported. Flac is NOT supported. Lots or messages warning about gain too high, etc when I was fooling around. Hopefully with revision 10 or so, it will be nice. Have to say it's about time that someone has posted an equalizer.
works with cm_passion-07142010-094243 (CM6) but the UI is terrible anyway the equalizer works.
I know, I know, I should be supportive, and I know I couldn't do any better. That said, Astro Player blows this out of the water. 15+ bands, support for most file types, cover art, and a widget.
Worked perfect. Thanks for the greatfind.

I am looking for a music player with a good graphical equalizer. I have yet to find one that works without flaws...
(Running MIUI ROM)
MIUI stock music player:
Sounds good, equalizer is satisfactory, but you can't tell it what folder to pull music from. It just reads the whole phone. It has a setting that you specify minimum file size for, but that's crap. Should be able to just tell it where to find music and only load that music... It also skips/cuts off etc A LOT!
PlayerPro:
This player has a really crappy equalizer. The only positive I can think of about this app is the ability to use SRS enhancement in HTC phones that have it. This one skips/cuts out music more than any other app I have tried. No matter what happens, screen turns off, like 5-20 rapid cutouts. Quality of playback is poor. Accessing certain features are a pain and needs to be able to be accessed from Menu button while in the player, not just the main screen. But the cutouts for anything happening to the phone, browsing for the next song, volume up/down. Minimizing, screen on off. Huge/a lot of cutouts in playback.
PowerAMP:
This was probably one of the better apps. Great equalizer, very direct navigation to whatever you need. But this player also suffers from the cutouts when locking/unlocking or interacting with the phone. This app does have that Buffer setting, but even set to huge (725ms) it still suffers from these cutouts. And the update that came out today.. well that just screwed it up even more...
UberMusic:
Smooth, looks pretty, can tell it's a complete rip from Zune so I know how to navigate it at least. Cutouts while navigating the phone weren't nearly as bad, or didn't happen. The problem with this app is that it doens't have an equalizer. I googled, and found out that Fede (many may know him from that scam app LPP) promised to implement an equalizer. That same dev also promised a re-write of LPP be the end of 2010 and look where LPP is at.. completely abandoned for this music app. With that history I won't buy his music app until the equalizer is implemented. But based on what he's shown with LPP I don't see that happening for 932750923 years.
WinAmp:
Loved it on my computers since middle school... But for the phone, the cut-outs are almost as bad as PlayerPro, and it also has a pretty crappy equalizer.
Anybody else know of a good/smooth music app, with no cutouts in music playback and a good equalizer?
Thanks!

have you tried any of those one a Non MIUI rom? Reason I ask is that there is APP issues with any and all CM based roms including MIUI. Main reasin I ask is I do not have this problem with any of the music apps you mentioned, short of the MIUI as I have never used it and never will.
I only used LeeDroid prior to flashing MIUI and the stock (Sense) player did everything I needed it to without problems.
I guess it's possible this is a MIUI problem. Such a shame... smoothest/fastest and most customizeable ROM I've ever had on a phone.

I use powerAMP and have used prolly every rom made for the inspire. With a few exceptions. I don't have your issues. ./shrug
As for Your Miui claim, You have only used Leedriod and Miui. You may want to check out a few other roms. You claim fastest smoothest and have only tried two things.
Thats alot like claiming MCdonalds is the best berger when you have only tried MCdonalds and Burgerking.
Truthfully there are alot of burgers out there and you would be "missing" out.
FYI MIUI is not the fastest/smoothest.....lol
I used many ROMs on other devices. Tried MIUI back then and it was also the smoothest for me there, just couldn't deal with the facebook issues, the camera issues, the GPS issues etc etc it had at the time.
Can you recommend another ROM that's as small and fast/smooth as MIUI?
Try Absolution. I too am an advocate for miui but flashed about 3 weeks ago and haven't gone back!!!

If the reason really is due to MIUI being based on CM7, then I think this ROM would give me the same result, no?
I'm willing to give it a shot this weekend though. I don't see any screen shots in the thread for the ROM though, (and no place holders like I get from blocked content [at work, ha ha] like other pictures) could you post an SS of the notification pull down? I've grown to really like the 2 page system on MIUI...

I am currently using whats in my sig. And I don't have the issues you are having. With the music player. (power Amp)
Its also better, IMHO then MIUI. Its got just as many if not more customization options and you don't have to look at an IPHONE want-to-be interface.
I Also found Gingerbeast to be great and then Ninja. Granted I only like AOSP roms for the most part.
I have never had GPS or Facebook issues on any rom I have used. Can't say about the camera apps as I am not into pictures. Don't use it at all.
Thanks tweaked.
So music playback is smooth/continues even when you lock/unlock or launch an app etc?
And can you tell me if the notification pulldown has the 2nd page for toggles?
Yea, I really did not like the iPhone wannabe launcher either, but I use an alternative launcher...

Sir, Download and flash Absolution. You will be amazed.
The pull down does not have the 2nd page for toggles. But you can add as many toggles as you like to the top.
I just tested it and it does not Glitch when I lock and unlock the phone. Even on Bluetooth.
All this tho and I bet the issue isn't the rom you are using. You prolly just need a full reset. I have found that sometimes I just have to Completely Wipe the phone and then install from scratch to get rid of little annoyances that pop up. I used Miui for about 2 weeks and never noticed what you are experiencing.

Well, MIUI is based on CM7; I'm having this exact problem with CM7 (latest build). As a matter of fact, I've always had this issue, and it's very annoying. I also have a problem with the sound cutting to mono when listening on a headset, and it's highly irritating, because the only way to fix it is to unplug and replug the headphones.
I wonder if a full clean wipe will fix this. I'm really thinking about giving it a shot, but the issue is that I'm going to be stuck with one of two options: either a Sense ROM or a CM7 ROM. I really love CM7, and have no other issues with it than this, so I'm wondering if it is indeed worth it to switch to a Sense based ROM.
I know I won't be going back to sense.
Think I'll just gu buy an MP3 player if it comes down to that.
Hey fellow unrooted brethren! I have an AT&T Note 4 and as you may know the Verizon and AT&T Note 4's haven't been rooted. I've always rooted my phones and one of the first things I would do is install Viper4Android. Since that's currently not possible, I looked for alternatives. I think I found the best alternative for us non-rooted users. It's called Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO.
I have a thread over in the AT&T section here if you are interested and would like to know more.

It really is :highfive:. Sound quality out my phone through headphones is very important to me. Not sure why more people haven't been interested . Doesn't matter as much anymore as root may possibly be right around the corner and V4A is still superior.

Yeah it's not for everyone but maybe for some reason it wasn't your default music effect? I definitely noticed a big improvement in sound quality when paired with my fiio e12 amp and my m50x (for cleaner, tighter, better defined bass) or akg q701/k551 (neutral analytical cans). I even noticed an improvement in my car that doesn't even have good speakers lol. BTW, this app and an EQ app do two different things.
Which one is better? Pro or E series?

E series is supposed to have better sound quality. If you've used viper4android then think of it this way.
Pro series = v4a fx
E series = v4a xhifi
Also, only PRO series works with lollipop. Plus you need to do some extra steps to make it work.
what additional steps to you do to make it work on lollipop?

I use it over bluetooth for my car. It does affect the sound quality a little bit, but no where like you would have with root apps unfortunately. With this app you're able to change the tone and some software effects but the actual quality of the audio is not changed, if that makes any sense... imo this app is better than nothing though.
Any version of this that's compatible with LP?

Hi,
I had check this app's for my Android Car Stereo, but there is no change in Audio Output.
Actually after upgrading to new firmware provided by the seller to fix reverse camera flickering issue, the OS firmware has issue with Audio output (bad quality output, less Bass).
So I tried the apps mentioned here, but it does not work.
Any idea to fix the audio issue on my car android stereo ?

Thank you thank you thank you! I have a Nexus 6P and really did not want to root it, being my daily phone and frequently updated by Google. Keeping up with OTA with root is a royal pain. I almost broke down because I have Viper4Android on my custom ROMed Samsung tablet(mostly due to Samsung's lack of updates) and my Nexus Player(only on Marshmallow but Pure Nexus rocks vs its limited stock ROM) and fell in love with it. I considered Neutron media player the best alternative due to its excellent audio processing and fantastic equalizer. But the problem is it is just a media player and does not cover everything else, though it can stream and play local media. All other equalizers have sucked. This app that you linked does not and it covers everything. You just saved me from being torn between having Google's latest updates and fixes for my phone and installing Viper4Android which I sorely missed whenever I played anything through Bluetooth. Thank you.

You are welcome! By the way I moved on to the Nexus 6P from the Note 4 because I realized I couldn't use an unrooted phone daily. The AT&T Note 4 was my first and last unrooted phone. I personally stayed stock rooted on my N6P for almost a year and didn't mind updating using adb to flash images rather than taking OTAs. I'm now on Pure Nexus and don't miss stock at all.
This app was better than nothing during my time with the Note 4, however, it definitely was no replacement for Viper4Android. Viper4Android processes audio much better, is more reliable, and way more feature rich. Plus, the ability to make even cheap headphones sound like much more expensive ones is a godsend. And Neutron media player is awesome! Best player for music stored in your phone. The audio quality is phenomenal from Neutron. I'm not trying to convince you to root your phone, but just letting you know there really is no replacement for Viper4Android. If you stay unrooted, the app I linked to in the OP is definitely your best alternative. Enjoy!
Very nice of you!!
I'm rooted with viper, but still curious to see how it stacks up against the uncontested champ

if you want to keep using EMUI as launcher you gotta root your device and flash the modded stock rom that someone here on xda made. I you don't care about it just install another launcher, they all have app drawers.
Idk about the different phone models though

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/rom-erykinemt7-v1-0-0-mt7-l09-b137sp03-t3044695
this is the rom I meant, it needs unlocked bootloader, didn't test it but it looks like it's working fine.
I haven't flashed any roms on the mate 7 yet so you better not ask me for help.
I think you know about the dangers of flashing roms and stuff like that, so prepare well and be patient, otherwise you can **** up which will cost you a lot of time..
I would rather suggest you to just get a launcher, Emui isn't that great so flashing a to rom only for an app drawer seems useless to me: silly:
You could try App Swap on the play store. This will give you an App drawer via the home button.

I have to disagree with you and I'll explayin you why, please take some time to read that:
A launcher is just a small part of what makes a phone worth buying, not only looking at the fact that you can replace it so easily and also that stock launchers are way worse than custom launcher anyways, but also because this phone offers a lot more than just its launcher.
Take me for example:
I love rooting and testing roms, flash things on my phone and customize it till it's perfect. Still I choose this device, a Huawei which has such a weak modding scene, there are almost no roms while other phones like Samsungs and HTCs or any other brand with so many great roms, so much community support and so on. Still I bought this phone because it has a huge screen which is perfect for me because I love watching videos, series and animes. I could also get a galaxy note, which has all the modding and community stuff I previously mentioned. But they are way more expensive and I don't want to spend too much on a phone because I have other things I need money for. Then why didn't I choose the Huawei P8 Max with an even larger screen and better specs? Because it's too big in my opinion, it's not really comfortable in my everyday life, holding it with one hand is really difficult. Next factor is the look and feel, if I pay hundres of euros for a phone I want it to feel like it's worth the money, and this phone definetly does, it's aluminium, the screen to body ratio is great and the overall looks is fantastic. Then I need much space for all my music because I listen to music where ever I go, and this phone has an sd card slot. I also love the fingerprint scanner, it's way easier and faster than unlocking with an code. And most of the bad things about the phone are the things I don't really care about: camere is not the best, but I only make some photos at parties or some snapshots to send them to my friends, none of that requires a good camera and if it would I would rather spend my money on a real camera and not on a phone. The cpu/gpu is also not the best anymore since you get better specs with the newer and cheaper Huaweis, but since I only do simple things with my phone and only play games which don't need much power (so none of the 3d/realistic games) I am satisfied with this phone. The software isn't the best too but I can live with an older android version, it works just as fine as the newer ones, and I don't really care for the security issues. EMUI also isn't the best software out there, but I replaced my launcher with smart launcher which I've been using for years, and the only thing from EMUI I notice is the notification bar, which works fine. Almost forgot the batterie: 4100 mAh (!), which is huge, the big screen drains some battery of course but by far not enough for this batterie.
Now tell me which phones you know which cover all of my claims? None. There may be some alternatives which are similar to the mate 7, but none of them is better.
I hope you actually read this and change your mind, and if not atleast don't insult people as retards for having different prioritys than you when buying a phone.

That's your opinion, many of us love and are used to an app drawer
In EMUI 3.1 / Lollipop it is possible to hide apps. Once hidden they are placed into a hidden app drawer.
To hide apps, use 2 fingers to pinch out (spread) the screen. The hidden apps drawer should appear where you can then add apps by selecting the add icon. Hidden apps can still be launched from the drawer as normal..
I installed smart launcher pro, chose it as default launcher and it works nice. I also installed Google Now and then set that as default and uninstalled smart launcher. It's only a launcher, not the whole UI for the phone.
The only thing that could be an issue is if there are standard widgets the 3rd party launcher will not use, like the built in message app for instance. I want to root my Mate7 to de-bloat it and I'll use Google Messenger instead.
Hello all,
I hope your devices are treating you well.
I currently have a Nexus 4, which the support for is slowly dying. Therefore, I need to buy a new well supported phone.
First off, I really like the Mi 4C. However, I fear that it will become obsolete and follow the N4's fate really soon. Is that true?
Second, when I got the N4, I realized that there were some issues that people didn't speak much about such as noise while in phonecalls because of the proximity sensor and some headset buttons not working. Are there any similar - or untold - problems like that?
Finally, some rumors are popping out about the Mi5, do you think its worth the wait?
Any and all answers are appreciated. Thank you.
IMO if you really like vanilla android, fast updates and vast amount of custom ROMs, you will probably gonna miss that on Xiaomi's phone
My last phone was Moto G first gen and my first impression after moving to Xiaomi (MIUI) is that some features from vanilla android are missing on MIUI. I really missed that on the first couple of weeks but I learn to live without that for a few more weeks, had enough and switched to CM12 ROMs
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the hardware. It's just I didn't really like MIUI
I think you should try MIUI first to see if you like it or not and you can always use custom ROMs if you want.

Little things like expanding notifications on the lock screen without pulling notification drawer, task switcher design, inconsistent notification color and overall UI experience is less polished than vanilla android.
It looks like a minor thing but once it's gone I really missed that.
Well MIUI isn't so bad, just a bit different and needs time to get used to. The device seems the best 5' vfm right now. Upon release of kernel sources I'm sure it will get proper dev support too.
Thanks for all your answers.
The way I understand it now is that the device doesn't have proper dev support due to the lack of an open source kernel. Was the release of this kernel a rumor or was it confirmed?
Also, can you guys please answer me about the wait for Mi 5 and the device's hardware issues?
Thanks again

Even Xiaomi still supports 3 years old Mi2s, how are you saying Mi4c is going to obsolete soon?

Check the other threads. I don't have it (or don't realize it), but those people who report do.

If you can afford it, go. It will be a beast.

4c is probably the best bang for buck phone you can get now, great specs incl ir blaster, great camera, loud speaker although mono. Only thing keeping it back is kernel sources but that hasn't stopped 2 different cm roms coming on it.
I also came from a Nexus 4 and this is a great upgrade and I expect it have support for 3 years at least.
Mi5 will be great phone with flagship specs so at least wait for the official reveal and prices. If I were in your position I'd probably lean towards the mi5
I just got this Mi-4c a few days ago from a friend. Honestly, I love MIUI. I used to have a ROM with it on my old Motorola Triumph from Virgin Mobile. I think it's amazing with the themes. Pair in different fonts and live wallpapers and I'm in love.
I currently use an iPhone 6s as my primary, have a Note 3 for media, a BlackBerry Z10 just because and a Lumia 640 for the same reason.
I can't wait until my official smart wallet case from Xiaomi comes! I love technology... ^.^

I'm using stock MIUI 7. Luckily I'm pretty familiar with the layout, so I can navigate easily even though everything is in Chinese. I figure if I want to modify, I can always do it. For now though, I'm enjoying it the way it came.
Only thing I've done is get the Playstore and the Google installer. Besides that, I liked the phone as it came.

Yes, it is a pretty neat phone. I actually like MIUI, more than I thought. But it bugs me, that I can't set the DPI. That's actually the only thin preventing me from using MIUI. Also, I can't seem to be able to download Theme or anything from the MI Store.
Did you check if you had any malware installed when you got it? Mine was infected when I got it. I just bought one for my significant other, got it today, and found out that it too was infected, had TWRP installed and Xiaomi.eu as ROM. :silly:

Why can't you download themes? I use a third party to buy the Mi credits.
I don't see any malware. I could be wrong though, anything I should be looking for?
Thanks!

You can manually chnange the DPI:
1) Install a terminal emulator
2) Type in "su" and grant Superuser rights
3) Type in "wm density YOURDPI"
4) Reboot.
Just replace YOURDPI with the dpi you want, for example 380.
Horizontal multi-multitasking they way they do it sux. Just give me lollipop carousel and MIUI is everything iOS should be but never will be.
