Thanks :) very good to see you continue

Hope you will be able to apply to speaker too
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
great , will they be compatible with ICS?
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
It should be with LG ICS build.

I didn't studied yet alternative ROMs builds.
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
Ok I see :) thx
[LG Optimus 2x] tahahawa:
Faux kernel for p999 cm9 alpha selfkang includes voodoo sound. Don't have premium app so can't test it.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
By the way I updated today the free app and it's now compatible & accessible with Optimus 2x & friends !

Market takes some time to sync so if it's not yet available in your region it will soon.

[LG Optimus 2x] tahahawa:
It wasn't showing up here in Canada, so I faked a French carrier and downloaded it :D.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Lol there's no restriction about Canada but I guess French market cache was more up-to date ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] tahahawa:
But I wanted it nooooooow and I saw your french carrier app, and thought, would France be more up to date? And I was right. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] yarisd4dturbo:
I'd buy your application but more option are not avaiable, i use ETaNa kernel with cyanogen nightly. Thx in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] yarisd4dturbo:
Any news? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Nipit:
Supercurio, any chance to port this to Motorola Atrix 4G? Uses same hardware ( Tegra 2).
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hi!

Sorry none: If it's the same SoC for the CPU + GPU, audio chip is different. Moto devices uses a ST-Ericsson's IC instead.

You'll find details in public teardowns.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
supercurio, can you help me please? I had originally posted this in here And as you can confirm no one said a thing...

"need some help... i have ICS (SelfKANG2) and the latest ironkrnL and it only shows in every option -...dB isn't supposed to show +...dB option also? I have the latest version of voodoo plus and and the app says that the module is build in the kernel...so what´s wrong? I don't get it.

Someone can help me?"

now SelfKANG3....
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
That's expected, Optimus 2x implementation is limited by Headphone detection going wild on high volumes (thinks HP were disconnected).

As a result, maximum output volume is -3dB. It's still higher than -10dB I think which is the maximum stock output level.

At higher output levels, the sound is heavily distorted anyway − power stage has not much more headroom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
ok man. Thanks a lot....now I get it!! ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
@ supercurio

I now ther is a problem.

But maybe with the ironkernel and cm9 or cm7 you can control or delete this problem.

I now you can it make dude ;) and i love your work.

I and others would be happy:)

I would be happy if you even try. (it to make it little bit louder or some stuff)

Answer would be nice

thanks you supercurio for your work ;)

Editing: you have make it ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
hey people, supercurio designed a new driver implementation which will fully enable voodoo sound on our phone :)

though he said that the lower volume, poor stereo separation and DC offset still remain.

but hey, its still a LOT better than absolutely nothing :D
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Wow, Is it released?
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I defined the design but not written the code yet.

xilw3r was reporting things we discussed on IRC.
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Thank you for once again taking look at O2X. Gr8 thank you:)
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Will you be able to enable almost all the features on o2x? I saw them on my brother's galaxy s, they're nice!

Inviato dal mio LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes indeed thats the goal I'm pursuing.

Some shortcomings like quality being affected by DC offset on the board, maximum output level limited by the headphone detection chip and power stage are hardware limitations that can't be overcome.

But in terms of features, especially the hardware EQ that I want badly to implemented yes with this new & unified driver design I'll be able to implement them.

Its crazy it takes so much time to learn required skills and maturation to get the right ideas, but I guess its how it works!
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
I guess max volume is enough, But BASS Enhancement and perfect DRC like SGS is main feature lacking:/
[LG Optimus 2x] ppp0941:
thanks for your work, mr. supercurio :D
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
NICE.

A little personal request :D could you implement also a dynamic range compressor for the speaker? Could it be implemented via hardware? This may improve audio loudness a lot.

Thank you supercurio!

Inviato dal mio Smartpad810c usando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
I also thank you, and I'm looking forward:D

But if you can make it a bit louder, it would be nice ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes its planned and required in order to avoid saturation on those tiny speakers.

BTW according to previous tests Optimus 2x speaker can becomes one of the loudest.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Cool! Nice having you working on this again. Good luck in your development. May the bugs be few, and features many!
[LG Optimus 2x] stpsp:
woooooooow that's awsome supercurio !!!!!! can't wait for it :D
[LG Optimus 2x] lefterakos:
huge thanks for coming back to our device supercurio :D
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
I dont know how much louder you want, but if the louder levels proves too high then many xda users may burn thier speakers and will be havoc. I think this experiment is bit risky. :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] TheMiltos21:
What is the voodoo sound?
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
I mean the headphone Jack ^^ not the speakers. Little bit Lauder then -3 it will be nice. Maybe it goes better witch the new architecture. an attempt is it worth. i dont mean +5 but 0db could be nice ;) But when it does not work because of hardware support is ok but you can try it.
[LG Optimus 2x] lefterakos:
i would actually like the speakers to be a little bit louder :) as you said around 0db :) it would be sooo awesome :D
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes you're perfectly right, any modification related to speaker or earpiece must be done carefully because there's the potential to burn them.

[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
would you be kind enough to elaborate on your findings on the beats audio mod?
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
It doesn't work.

Made measurements: no difference at all, there's nothing to elaborate when talking about.. nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
I always knew voodoo was better anyways :D

[LG Optimus 2x] Deedend:
Hello, I have a Optimus 2x and with stock and cyanogen it have a terrible audio, only with MIUI it become decent (but not good); how to install Voodoo on 2X? There are some kind of instructions and "normal user friendly" files? Thank you
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:
You need a Kernel with Voodoo Sound builtin and the App from PlayStore.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
@supercurio

i did some testing with an earlier driver version (i guess ?) or maybe the voodoo beta app did not have the set up for the 2x...well it is from one of the latest vadonka kernels with voodoo sound anyway, and i could set the analog gain level all the way up to +5 dB in voodoo control app, and it did not have any freak out issue with the headphones even at max loudness (like you said it thinks that headset is disconnected). and damn that was loud :D.

sorry if thats hard to understand but i tried my best :)

BUT i noticed some other issue, if the volume in android media is set to max, i hear huge distortions, if i set volume through android just 1 step lower than max- the quality is great, but if voodoo app has smart amp function on, i hear distortions on any sound level, even if its -30 dB, the max volume in android media causes distortion. this happened on chuck norris 1.1 rom with vadonkas LOC DS kernel, will now try other set up. anyone confirm this ? because i used smart amp b4 and it was no problems...
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
Dear supercurio ;)

When did you start with writing new voodoo sound driver :)

Thanks for answer
[LG Optimus 2x] Deedend:
I have MIUI 2.3.9 does it have Voodoo support?

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Vodoo sound are kernel based, not ROM.

It means that it doesnt matter wich ROM you have, so ask your kernel dev
[LG Optimus 2x] jekostas:
Just having come from a Captivate, the possibility of having the Voodoo sound options on my 2X would be absolutely awesome. I really hope the project can go through as expected.
[LG Optimus 2x] victoram:
Amazing work you doing here, just waiting for the new version!

you rock!
[LG Optimus 2x] Maxp101:
What media player are you using?

I use PowerAmp and have the same issue if i turn direct volume control on (Settings->Audio Engine->Advanced tweaks->Direct Volume Control)

but it's of outstanding quality when i turn it off.

maybe that's the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
Wow .. now that is just awesome :D the sound really is better

Gesendet von meinem LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] stpsp:
for me i tested voodoo sound but i just get louder sound but the quality is the same , i use a paire of sennheiser cx 550 for testing , so in you'r case what headphone did you use for testing ? and thx :D
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
Sennheiser hd25-1 II

Gesendet von meinem LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I started writing the new driver.

And now EeePad Transformer ICS added to the list of devices requiring this new driver model.
[LG Optimus 2x] stpsp:
OK thanks for the info ( by the way i wonder how the sound is like with the hd 25, surely awsome :D )
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
indeed it is :D I just love them
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
yea, i found that option aswell a day before lol. but how come it creates distortion with DVC, if it should actually improve the quality instead. maybe bad implementation in cm7 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Shadowchaz:
I would suggest this conflicts with voodoo as they are both trying to do the same or similar thing?
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
unlikely, since i have a different kernel (without voodoo) and the same problem remains
[LG Optimus 2x] sKweezr:
Nah, I bought poweramp way back when android was still Eclair. Always, always distortion.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppp0941:
hi supercurio,

i would like to ask if the new driver could help reducing the noise of this phone

i am using westone1 and i can hear noticeable noise when screen off and playing any sound*

*this happen when playing any sound

such as music, notification ringtone, and after not playing the sound, this wil stil last for a few second
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
This kind of noise won't be reduced by a new driver, its static: headphone amp limitation.

However it depends on your configuration. At -57db amp WM8994 hiss is not absent but quite low.

Make sure you're using the highest digital gain, lowest analog gain: best SNR, dynamic range and and lowest hiss of course.
[LG Optimus 2x] stpsp:
please supercurio i just did what you say (the highest digital gain, lowest analog gain) but i get low volume using a sennheiser cx 550, i have to increase volume but when i do it the analog gain increase . so how can i get the best of WM8994 with loud volume ? and thanks .
[LG Optimus 2x] jekostas:
This is an impedance mismatch between your headphones and the amp in the phone. It's a hardware issue and not really something that can be rectified with software.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
hmm so anything with really high impendance (like 300+ ohm) will be really quiet on this phone ?
[LG Optimus 2x] ppp0941:
i have tried it

but a problem is

every time i jack my headphone and play sound,

the loudness is in the max level

and after i press the volume button, the volume level back to normal again

it looks like after i jack the headphone, the voodoo control dont work, so the sound will be played in 15/15 digital and 0db analogy. and i need to press volume down key one time, to let the phone know my value of analogy.
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
Happens to me too.
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Supecurio, is it possible for RGB filtering like Voodoo display filter for 2x!
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
I would like to know also!!

For a hobby i am calibrating lcd/plasma tv's etc. So calibrating my O2X with my i1pro and Cromapure Pro would be very kewl :D
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hehe sorry I didn't explained good enough.

On some devices (or CyanogenMod ROMs) I provide the "Smart amplifier" feature which is adjusting automatically gains for the best results.

LG ROMs miss some required features to implement that why I still let the analog amp volume notification which allows quick access to the analog volume slider.

My recommendation:

- Set Android media volume to the max

- Adjust according to your needs & preference via the analog headphone amp gain ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes indeed.

Actually it depends on both impedance & sensitivity.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Sorry I don't understand the exact scenario according to your description.

Can you please retry to explain me how to reproduce that?

Also, are you using a LG ROM or something else, and did you checked "restored at launch" and un-checked " JACK plug-in safety?
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I studied the question in details already, as I would like to offer the ability to load ICC correction matrix on Android.

Also, I discussed that with Romain Guy which is the guy behind Android UI toolkit and also a photographer, to urge Google to implement color management:

- color-space conversion

- display LUT correction.

I'm sure W8 will support all this...

So far, no result.

Tegra2 doesn't have the ability (or its not documented) to load LUT so its a no-go for Optimus 2x.

There are other leads I won't details here but so far I'm focusing on Samsung devices with mDNIe chip or Super-AMOLED, offering the complete ability to tune the rendering via hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppp0941:
I have set amp limit in -40db with all option checked

this setting should reproduce it, i think. :p

Also, this bug happen when i end the phone call and restart the music too.

I am using lastest kang rc1-79, and honestly, this problem happened long time ago.

i think i have not installed anything affect the control apps, but i did delete some build-in app from cm.

this is a serious problem and make my ear damn pain! thx for helping!
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
might we ask how is the new driver coming along :D ?

im sorry, i just cant wait for full fleadged voodoo on the 2x ! it will be awesumm
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Ahh, really sorry but I still don't manage to understand what it is about, I was thinking about something before from your previous description and after your last partial message I guess something else.

When I say how to reproduce it, it's more like step-by-step than clues here and there ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I make huge progress since 2 weeks in the new Voodoo "Kaudio" driver writing, working in emergency 13-15h a day to support Transformer ICS that requires it, as the update broke my previous driver.

I should be able to release a beta based on this new driver code for Transformer, not yet finished something like tomorrow.

The path detection routines (allowing to guess if it's a media playing, or a phone call, on headphones, speaker or something else) is only partially written tho, and has not been tested.

If I believe the concept and design are "sound". But the reliability of this path detection method, that may require some fuzziness to work across device variations and versions updates is still unknown.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
i could be completely wrong, but I think he means the issue where the volume maxes out after receiving an alert or call. Just my 2/100 though...
[LG Optimus 2x] jekostas:
No... that'll likely blow out the headphone amp and/or you won't hear a thing. The amp is probably matched for a set of phones in the 30-40 ohm range as that's a pretty standard for consumer headphones. I use a long extension cable on my Shure SE110s to add a few ohms to get rid of static noise.
[LG Optimus 2x] neeverr:
@Supercurio:sorry for the OT, I just need a simple feedback.

At the moment which is the best phone hw in terms of SQ (using headphones)?

Assuming similar/identical dacs (eg.: sgs vs nexus s), I would think that the better SQ is granted by the best post-dac path and the best headphone amp? is it right?

So which currently is the best sounding phone - the sgs or the nexus s?

Any comparison (rmaa under load - same output...) with the iPhone 4 (that to me sound better than 4S and all the other iPhones)?

thanks in advance

all the best

ps.: I'm using re272
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
id take the nexus s maybe.

i mean as far as i remember nexus s and galaxy s have the same wolfson chip ? and also same implementation, so should be no difference between them, but then again im no expert :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
Supercurio i thing ore you have written that the right earphon Lauder is then the left one.

so can you adjust is on the new driver kaudio.

thx ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
My personal favorite is Infuse 4G.

Both my Nexus S and Infuse 4G sound a little better than the original Galaxy S I9000 I have (Nexus S measure with lower THD levels, and Infuse 4G: not measured yet ;)

I don't know if it's a matter of sample to sample difference or board layout (or even chip revision)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Sorry despite multiple re-reads I'm unable to understand & answer your question.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
he means when you are playing music the right side is of the headset is louder then the left side

and he asked if you could fix that in the new kaudio driver
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
thank you owain you mean the right ;)

sorry for my bad English.

I am still learning:D
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Okay.

Nope that's an hardware issue of your headphones I guess.

However I wrote the driver to support Double volume controls (for left/right) so theoretically it will be possible to add left/right balance.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
That would be a nice feature. :) for my headphones

of course if it makes no circumstances ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] C0D3N1N3R:
I don't know why but my headphones are behaving like this too. :|

"right side is of the headset is louder then the left side"
[LG Optimus 2x] bariskeskin:
Do we have the rmaa results of voodoo sounded phones with headphones?
[LG Optimus 2x] reginickneo:
Hi! Any further information about the developement? Really annoying bug that if you connect your headphones the phone starts music playing at the highest volume level. :S
[LG Optimus 2x] bariskeskin:
Hi Supercurio, first of all thank you for your great work. As far as I know, your voodoo sound app only works for froyo versions of infuse 4g. Am I right?
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
I have a similar problem. It starts in max volume. Also does that after notification sound when headphones are connected.
[LG Optimus 2x] reginickneo:
Yes.. i'm terrified getting an email while I'm listening to music.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Use "don't interrupt music"in settings as work around.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
Hey supercurio

How far you have progressed with the development :)
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i think hes quite busy with the display expert project atm...

though he may be working on our beloved 2x as we speak, who knows :)

still...cant wait
[LG Optimus 2x] gzdpy:
sorry i can't find the stock kernel with voodoo.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
The modded stock kernel with Voodoo can you find here (is one of the best)

it's for all stock based Systems not for cyanogen

Edit: then instal Voodoo sound
[LG Optimus 2x] Najmuddin NP:
Can someone point me to the download link?
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
of what ?

voodoo sound app is in the market, just look it up. its free if your kernel has the drivers included (like spicas stock kernel, or temaseks kernel/ vadonkas etc..) the kernels are all around the forums :)

and if you dont want to flash a new kernel, there is a paid voodoo control app which preloads the drivers.

@supercurio any news for our Optimus 2x ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Najmuddin NP:
New here.. didn't know about it... thnx for the info :)
[LG Optimus 2x] xUmaRix:

[LG Optimus 2x] lineagesum:
How about update 2x voodoo driver?
[LG Optimus 2x] tpr0:

Any updates for the new driver module? The status?

Plus, is it worth to buy the optimus 2x over the Atrix for the sake of the voodoo sound?

I'm really impressed by this project!

Hope to hear more!

Thanks. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] demon1010:
Supercurio has probably given up on development for the O2X seeing how long it has taken for any updates at all.

Better for future performance modding... (Such as Ubuntu Mobile)

Fingerprint scanner is a really nice feature, especially for sports...

Plus, it got the same Wolfson chip, but the L series (different implementation). AT LEAST better than O2X in terms of stereo crosstalk. GSMArena rate: Excellent Audio Quality...
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
no LG no Motorola.

One after another I used two mobiles from companies with worlds worst support and consumer non-friendly. LG and Motorola. Many people here are mad at these two companies due to frauds by these companies. Motorola and LG both promised and declared updates for recent models but failed to deliver. Motorola is infamous for locking bootloaders and LG is infamous for not providing ICS updates for several models including O2X. Milestone did not even got GB update inspite of strong hardware. In Dec 2011 LG declared ICS for O2X in second quarter of 2012, but they have not shown any sign of the same, and are behind their own schedule.

At least I will suggest all go for only devices with open bootloaders and quick driver and os updates. No LG and No Mototola for me in future. Next time I will give one chance to Samsung with selected device after knowing all facts.

:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] tpr0:
First Motorola bootloader can be unlocked (correct me if im wrong). Second, all Tegra 2 devices didn't receive ics, except tablets honeycomb. Third, I think LG is worse than Motorola, due to the false-y promise (Motorola never said a false promise). Plus,its 60% Nvidia's problem, closed sources, and big ignorance ...

But your quote didn't give me any inspiration towards Samsung. Or buying the Nexus S for more than the value of both phones. And cloned from Galaxy S... hardware priority is more important.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
here is not about who is better, this is about the good Sound of the optimus 2x with Voodoo.

And as you can read on twitter he works on the new KAudio Driver (Voodoo Sound 4) for the optimus 2x.
