I for one use my phone as my main MP3 player in the car, and after using the new Dragon Kernel with voodoo sound the difference was absolutely flipping amazing. Just the battery died so fast that it wasn't even worth it.
So I ask you this. Is KA5 Kernel with Voodoo and Voodoo Sound possible? Does it already exist? AM I ASKING TO MUCH!?!?!
I for one would personally like to see this, any takers?
it does not exist. your best option would be to flash Nero V5 ( this is KA5 )then flash dragon kernel 2.8 so that u will have voodoo sound and buy a car charger. i have Nero V5 and dragon kernle too so i know how short the batterty life is. despite that, it's still long enough to get you through a day especially if u have a car charger and a home charger. better option will come in a short future. have faith
Thats Sad news, your post brought to my attention the existince of such a thing as voodoo sound. Man that blows. The new KA5 that comes with Nero 5 is giving me grief so I may give that other one a go.

sure it's possible.
As soon as we get KA5 source code, you'll have your kernel.
yes, curiosity piqued, please explain this Voodoo sound you speaketh of
I'm in the same boat, I LOVE the sound in my car, but I can't stand the battery life, might just give in, and go back to 2.8

I second this. There exists a Voodoo kernel that improves sound quality?
this is proof

I'm waiting for Voodoo sound on a Vibrant kernel too... The ridiculously poor battery life of Dragon Kernel makes it a deal breaker
Haha yes. Samsung...SOURCE CODE. RELEASE IT YOU ****ERS...
But while we wait in agony, there IS an app which does the SAME thing as Voodoo sound. The drawback is it has to do it in software continuously hence its less elegant than Voodoo sound.
HOWEVER, it has NO effect on battery life. Maybe 1% total...I wouldn't call it anything really.
It is called Audioboost. I believe you can find a paid version of it on the Market now, or if you're willing to look, there is a free version of it in burried in the Galaxy S I9000 dev forums. Hope it helps the great lot of you while we wait for Voodoo sound to make it into the kernel.

Not being an ass but google "voodoo sound galaxy s" and one of the top websites will explain it completely, which is what I did.
Long story short though; Galaxy S phones have really good audio hardware but poorly written drivers. Supercurio (VooDoo creator) has written VooDoo sound to compensate for this. Unfortunately it's based off the i9000 and not Vibrant so if you want it you will need to flash a Voodoo sound compatible kernel.
Personally I am going to hold out for TW or someone to write it into their ROMS which will be when the source for US is leaked *hopefully*. I am just too happy with everything else on my phone to start mixing and matching.
Samsung not releasing source?

Buahahaha, no it's true. I had to research it myself aswell cause I could believe it.
I am here to testify, voodoo sound is worth its weight in gold. The most current version of dragon kernal can be found on teamwhiskey.com, dragon kernal v2.8. Its louder and clearer, literally like night and day.
I downloaded the Over clocked version of dragon kernal, and its burning fast. But yes the battery will require me some car charging to get through the day. Not a big deal. My only issue is it freezes from time to time requiring a reboot. But voodoo sound, yes give it to me baby!

HI guys over the last few days i have had off i have installed, every 2.2 rom out
all of them. i am insane keep pushing my self to find the best kernel, rom, lagfix combo to achieve perfection. macnut r14 with oclf 2.3 and YA-OK! Yet-another Optimised Kernel (v1.50 Update)
kernel.
but the result is the same APPLY "2.2 rom" "lagfix" apply any kernel. BOOm
NO MEDIA NO SYSTEM volume
deferent i900O kernels like the 1.4ghz something and the 1.28 . same result.
6 deferent Roms, 3 deferent kernels.
tho the incoming call and notification volumes are fine.
anybody know what the files control the audio are??
i'll just go through and replace them one by one until i find a fix.
but witch files must be a general part of every custom kernel.
OK first time i have ever posted a thread so i'll be prepaired to be riped apart by the best and the brightest.
HAY WAIT i figured It out THINK...it's out the audio is playing through the head phone jack when it is not plugged in. When i plug in head phones my external speaker works. hmNN probley simalar to the volume up down issue we had with 2.2 but its on the head phones AW.
sUX still is there an easy fix like over writing a file that contols this or iam i doomed.
I had a problem like this with an older phone. Try sticking a cotton swab with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on it in the headphone jack and cleaning it out and see if that fixes it. Beyond that, you may need for that to be fixed.
Had the same problem with Axura 2.1
I could not figure out why my media wouldn't have sound, as the rocker button would say that the media volume was all the way up. Then I went into Settings > Sound > Volume and the Media Volume there was turned all the way down.
Wrong fourm should be in questions and answers
im sorrie i am not clearer. im a dumb ass
its posted here because it has nothing to do with hardware.
it happen's consistantly over all 2.2 roms and kernels,
want to see what some of us are going through.
put 2.2 oclf and custom 19000 kernel.
any combo will do this.
=)

If you use straight up i9000 kernels the audio logic will be reversed. when notjing is pluggen into the jack, no sounds. When there is something plugged in, audio comes out of the internal speaker. Its one of the first thing eugene or sombionix fixed when they were working on jp3. Are those the problems you are talking about reading about? Because I haven't had or heard about any non rom specific 2.2 audio issues since.

Is there a way to really raise the volume when playing music through the audio jack? I have it plugged into my car and it's just unacceptably too low.
I'm sure this is something that could be easily hacked, is there any methods out there? I downloaded and bought louder volume hack from the market, doesn't really do the job.
I just don't know what it is. When playing music through an Aux input, it just sounds muddled and low. I don't remember this with my droid. Any suggestions?
Just before the froyo leak, voodoo sound was being implemented into eclair kernels that was truly amazing. Voodoo sound made use of the good headphone amp within our device that samsung seemed to have neglected. But the developers are at the mercy of the froyo source code being released for our phone for that feature to be added to the froyo kernels. I really really really miss voodoo sound.
Voodoo sound thread.
good day.
Things like this are the reason I don't want froyo yet.. It sucks no new stuff is gonna be made for dj05, its such a good rom.

So I'm sure the title makes this clear already, but I have an HTC Incredible as of now, but am preparing to trade for a Fascinate. From what I've gathered online, the Fascinate has the Incredible beat on hardware (except for the camera), but isn't quite up to par on software (TW vs Sense, Bing, just got Froyo, etc), but for a CM/AOSP guy, that's not too big of a problem.
So, I just have a few questions as I prepare to make the transition.
With the DInc, pretty much everything can be done on the phone after the one-click root with unrEVOked. It's to my understanding that much of what has to be done is in Odin? The concept of going through another technological medium to accomplish something on my phone is going to be a bit new for me, but I catch on really quickly, so I'm not too worried.
Are there any tricks or tips/helpful reading material that anyone could suggest as I settle in over here?
As I looked through the Dev section (however briefly), it seemed like Kaoscinator was the most stable GB rom available on the Fascinate. If this is not true, which is? I'm not a fan of MIUI, and tend to like stock GB (or as close as possible) the best, so this would really be my biggest question.
Thanks!
The stickies in the General section should get you off to a running start. As for CM/Aosp builds, JT's CM7, currently test build 5, is the most stable and functional at this time.
i would suggest ComRom, most AOSP like in that it doesn't have TW, but everything works, give CM a alittle time, it will be perfect when 100% working...but also know that OMFGB and OMGB will be ported soon, r2doesinc is on the case, and they are working on that atm...
I ended up going through ComRom to get to the CM7 alpha/beta/whatever it's being called. It's pretty stable, I was pleased with it. I needed me some real AOSP though (modded AOSP, but you get the point). The only issue I've had so far was the random ringing, but that disappeared after someone called me before I had the chance to reboot. Haven't had it since.
I was having problems using RM to flash a recovery, but that's because there was a step that I was skipping... Odin. If my bootloader had security disabled, S-Off, I could completely unroot, and go from pure stock to a rooted Rom in the time it takes to make a Nandroid, wipe, flash and boot. Being able to flash a recovery image through the bootloader on the phone is really the only thing I miss from the Incredible other than tthe optical trackpad. I'm loving the screen size, and everything else. The processor on this phone is fantastic. I can't wait to see what springs up in the development forum once the CM team officially supports this device. Especially some OC kernels... this thing could go even faster, I can feel it.
OMFGB will be a welcome addition as well. R2 and his team do great work!
I'm still learning things and establishing procedure, but if anyone could point me to some plain as day information on what exactly Voodoo is, that'd be great. That's not something I've ever heard of until now.
Thanks for the patience! I catch on quick, I promise I don't ask a whole lot of questions, as I try to figure it out on my own first, the switch is just a little daunting with the addition of Odin. Weird stuff.
Voodoo is comprised of a few parts.
Voodoo lagfix-- converts the file system from RFS to the speedier ext4. This improves the responsiveness of the phone
Voodoo Color-- makes the colors of the phone "pop" more and look better.
Voodoo sound-- The galaxy S series of phones have a VERY good audio chip. Voodoo sound lets you fully take advantage of the processor's power. Hook this phone up to a decent receiver and speaks and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Voodoo sound and color REQUIRE kernel source code to be baked in. Voodoo lagfix does not require kernel source. Thus, you can have voodoo lagfix without color/sound (and potentially vice-versa).
Aha! The Fascinate's partitions ARE Ext4 (except for non-Voodoo, of course)! I thought so! The partitions were all Ext3 on the DInc. That's pretty cool!
Now, how would one control Voodoo? Is there an app that does that, or is this controlled via the Voodoo Settings in the Lag-Fix Recovery?
Sound is controlled with voodoo control app in the market. Lagfix is controlled by clockwork. Color is just built into the kernel and has no setting options
Voodoo color only works when you have your backlight set to max brightness... unless I am mistaken

You are correct...its to help balance the colors to remove the blue tint of bright white display due to its pentile design

Yup, I just found that exact kernel. I stumble into something new every time I go through the Dev forum. I'm definitely digging this phone.
i've been on passion 13.1 for a while now and am looking for something with the best sound headphones for my flexsmart x2, i need something with full voodoo sound ten support and i just downloaded ics kiss v8.2 kernel hope that should clear somethings up mbut would like a rom with great sounding voodoo sound and dsp manager, if anybody has any ideas or suggestions in any field please let me hear them. oh yeah, when i look under kernel module options in voodoo sound i it won't say supported, is that okay?
subZero Kernel supports Voodoo10.
Since I'm not interested in running ics well you recommend me a good room for playing sound through the headphones?

Oh, I thought you stated you wanted to run an ICS rom. Hmm, CM7 is a decent choice, but I haven't run too many Gingerbread Roms myself. I really liked the Roms from TeamWhiskey, but support stopped for them, so it's hard for me to give them my full recommendation.
What is it that you're fully looking for in a rom? Do you want it based off of Gingerbread or Froyo?
If you're going to use CM7/MIUI - Mr. Apocalypse's 99 Problems kernel supports Voodoo Sound 10.

Well, if you've literally just turned your Vibrant into an MP3 player, I'd say pick your poison on the rom, as it sounds like Voodoo Sound 10 is the only thing you need.
Your description of needs has been pretty ambiguous so far. I'm honestly not even sure what you're looking for. If you need more, be specific on what you want/need.
Just start playing with roms and find one that appeals to you. Check out the Kernel Bible Thread in the Development forum if you're not satisfied with the suggestions I've offered.

Flash Fishman's Bionix with Voodoo Kernel. Stable, long battery and Voodoo Sound. Plus everything works too.
Just an fyi Beats Music is nothing more than just OK. There is a a thread in the Q&A section about Beats and Froyo. Check it out before you flash it. IIRC it is included in the M tweaks.
Voodoo sound + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Sonic Eargasm. That is what I run daily for music, MLB At-Bat, Sticher, Jango, ...
I'll refuse the eargasm I like symphonics sounds and I'll download the bionics fishermans ROM and look into buying the Bose headphones and listen for a mello accent and try to check out the thread for the beats audio and read it then make my decision on if I want to flash it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Its cool. Eargasm btw doesn't mean glass breaking volume. PowerAmp has like 9 EQs plus you can set your own. The Bose phones bring out the lower tones but balance them with smooth treble and nice mids.
I'd link that thread but my tablet is a little wonky tonight.
i may try to get voodoo sound ten on bionics fm
it seems that the bali kernel has voodoo sound nine so i'm going to try to get ten on biofishmen with using imortality 2.2. do u think it will improve?
My OG Epic 4g kicked the bucket. I loved voodoo sound on my phone. Does voodoo sound work with the GS3 yet? I know it has the same codec. Did a quick search on the subject and didnt find anything,
Its not working yet on the i9300 but the dev who makes it stated its coming to the i9300 so I'm sure it will soon to u guys not 100% though

supercurio has no us variant to test with yet. the international uses a completely different DAC (wolfson) so its like a different phone in terms of voodoo sound. It requires completely separate legwork. He's curious about the us version but is not working on it and hasn't even heard audio through it yet so don't get your hopes up. I desperately want it too, just trying to be realistic.
The US sgs3 doesn't have the wolfson audio chip that the International version and all other voodoo devices use so it is unlikely that we will get voodoo sound. It is possible that supercurio does some other sort of sound enhancement like his voodoo louder he made for non wolfson devices. We'll see what happens after he gets it working on the international s3.
I thought it was confirmed a few days ago that the US variants DO have Wolfson DAC?
Anyways, OP try Awesome Beats mod in the Mods section. Not exactly the same but it should keep you satisfied until we figure out whats going on with Voodoo Sound
