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?
Blasphemy.

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!
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.

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.
My vibrant is used for music only
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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.
Well I'm looking for something well working and low battery consumption, I don't mind going to froyo if I can get the best Sound out of it, I'm going to try moshiach but I would really like one with phone capabilities and I used to use simply galaxy

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?
I was just wondering if there is any way to forcibly increase the max volume limit on ICS? I've seen some apps in the market that claim to, but wanted to ask here first. I can't hear the phone ring if I'm in just a moderately loud environment, and my last phones (iPhone 4, Galaxy S and OG Droid) were all PLENTY loud.
Let me know, thanks!

I agree with the OP and would like to see this myself. I can never hear my phone if there is mild background noise. Almost never hear texts unless it is dead quite.
Was at a strip club for a friends bachelor party and my phone rang a few times that night. Never heard it. Kept hearing my buddies iPhone all night though.

how about.....a dev request for just MORE steps of volume?
so like, the steps go by 5 or so
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and so on...that would make me happy with lower volumes, and would make you guys happy for louder perhaps

I actually found one that works well. Its called volume+, and its $2 on the market or free on his forum. For the rezound, because it has beats, it needs a special audio-settings.conference file, which he also has posted on his forum with instructions to add it. I turned the audio settings all the way up and it makes a considerable difference, without too much distortion. Give it a try
Just a suggestion...i make my own ring tones from mp3s in audacity and just pump up the gain. Right now it's the guitar riff from Mr jack by system of a down and it makes people around me jump even in a busy loud store when it rings, hell I could hear it at the last football game I was at.

Thanks for the tip on the extra file. Used Volume+ for months when everybody else gushed over DSPManager. Going to fire it up again now and see what it can do on my newer ROM.

can you not get DSP manager??? im on GB but was just wondering
I know on CM it would rock the phone on my thunderbolt
but i thought it had something to do with the kernel also because IMO had a kernel that had very low sound and then he revamped it and it came out good
this looks promising but i do not have ICS just got my rezound today but this guy said he extracted DSP from a AOSP rezound ROM

How do you make a phone ring louder with DSP manager??
I have it in my ICS ROM but I don't see any volume settings in it??

probably just set "phone speaker" to have a higher output in the EQ..or just raise the EQ so they're all even, but like 5 steps up or so
With DSP Manager, the only thing that really makes it loud is headset virtual room. But of course its only available for headphone setting. Eq dont do squat in headphone setting...no effect... But EQ works ok on speaker. Just dont go all that loud even with the EQ enabled, but no volume boost for main speaker. Need louder volume on the Rezound....period regardless what ROM you using. Im on GB still
What about that xloud mod that I've been seeing lately I see that newt baked it into his new Rom and actually works we need to get all the devs to bake this in the roms this and the bravia engine as they are good together cleaner graphics and louder sound

I purchased this app a year or so ago but don't bother installing it anymore. I immediately found it didn't play well with DSP manager, both start FCing constantly if they are installed together. I couldn't see that it made much of a noticeable difference anyway Other than for headset volume and that's plenty loud enough anyway.
Where did you find the beats fix?? I just searched that site for beats fix, Rezound mods etc etc and got no result at all???

It's listed on the releases page I believe, and it's it's own separate thread, called [MOD] htc device fix or something along those lines. And you have to install that audio_settings.conf file he provides if you're on a Rezound for it to make a difference. I installed it and have the volume set to +15 and it makes it unbelievably better. Much, much louder, and I set the eq to Beats like and there's very little distortion at full volume, and notifications/ringtones are much, much louder.
here's the thread for volume+ fix for htc devices with beats:

when you first open volume+ it says to go to settings and enable volume+, but there is no option when I go to settings, under sound.
Does yours have that option?
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

I think another way to word it would be the same quality. So it's still a great DAC, just not Wolfson
