[Vibrant Android Development] davidisflash:
Wow.

It's amazing what the maturity level is on this thread. I like how some people then out of nowhere join the "look at me, I'm not a n00b because I can make fun of people" bandwagon. That doesn't show your knowledge, sorry.

I asked an advanced question, and people who don't know the answer as well automatically call you a n00b.

If i'm a n00b, then how did I manage to root my Vibrant without posting for help? I read.

If i'm a n00b, then how did I manage to go to the CM7/MIUI mods on my own? I read.

How am I not bricking my device on SS (which is my favorite series of ROMs no doubt) every week and have great stability? I read. I follow instructions to the T.

I've owned my Galaxy S for 6 months and this is the *first* time I've posted. It's related to sound. Search Google; you'll find I haven't asked any n00b questions.

For weeks I've read reviews on the various players. I've read people's sample equalizer settings, etc.

Read between the lines. It's not even a car-specific question. Don't take it at face value; I only brought up the car because that's my usage model. Think of it as just playing music on the device with or without headphones, whatever. I told you that sound quality seemed top notch at some point with glitch and one of the older SS series.

If you look at the older posts (yes i DO read them), others have reported degredations in sound and battery life. I already figured out the battery thing on my own by READING. Sound isn't a crystal clear answer, and it's obvious that none of you have the answer. Neither do I.

As far as patience? Do you see me posting things like "looking forward to this, when are you fixing this, etc?" I just asked what works for people with this ROM, so chill.

So before attacking someone for asking questions and making assumptions about their knowledge, calmly start by seeing if you even have an answer. After all, if you don't, did you really grow out of that n00b phase?

So lighten up, and take some time to watch this video:

@Nick, I like your ROMs, I complimented you on them. I'm not asking for a fix, I'm not asking for as schedule. You've never seen me complain about that. As a fellow software developer, I respect your efforts. Just no need for the personal attacks, alright? There are even things you all don't know, none of us are perfect.

Forgot to mention....

If I was simply on Stock ROM, I'd read away as I did at the time with the purchased Voodoo Control Plus app.

If you do your reading:

Voodoo Control - gives you all you need when your kernel already has the support

Plus - you pay the price if you don't have such kernel in which then you load

the sound module

So yeah, I get it, and I read this months ago. That's why I bought thet app; at the time I wasn't on the baked-in kernels.

Well, up until recently, it seemed I could get more fine tune control out of the app. Now, it only is affecting my volume level. The bass / etc settings aren't doing squat.

I've tried downloading the regular Voodoo Control app as well. Same deal.

I don't have an abundance of time to try every past SS / kernel combination to see what was best because frankly, I'm happy with SS-11 and up as far as raw performance and the new features.

DSP Manager also only made sound worse for me in every case.

I did all these steps before my last post. I was just too lazy to write it. Sorry if that "offended" the supposed super "I'm not a n00b" group. I do this stuff on the side. It's not my life.
