Hopefully its adaptable to any bootloaders.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
I have a question on all of you.

I have install the new bootloader and have notice that the noise of the amp in lowered volume much lower is then on the gb bootloader (i thing so if you not say) but both the same volume have.

So is the amp on the new bootloader changed so that we have the call bug on it present (or not more because fixt)

So is the new bootloader a fix for voodoo sound because of the new settings we can go up to 5 db and not only to -3.

superqurio sad me that at -3 gain came and the jack bug is. And this can not be so have lg fix it and put down the amp level and increased the volume. (so less noise on low volume )

so i thing ^^ or i complete wrong.

Hey how Supercurio

i hope you read this before release voodoo v4 test if i am wrong ore right
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I'm actually trying to update my P990 to ICS via various method and failing, seriously it makes me mad loosing my time with this uber crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
you are on ubuntu not window so ther is opti flash try it
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I rebooted in windows to flash an official ROM using official tools because I need an unmodified stock ROM and kernel (with only root).

But it seems LG is unable to provide a working and comprehensible program.
[LG Optimus 2x] dorwoo:
Do your magic Supercurio,we need this bad.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Use smartflash or nvflash mate.
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
Its great to see you back here! :D

Any particular reason you are going for official ICS instead of CM10 or ICS based custom ROMs ? In case you are interested to upgrade to CM10 (which also has a huge user base) this is how you can :)

You can find the kernel source for it here
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Because I develop support for official ROMs which is what most people use, CM and most other ROMs changing all the time are not a usable development platform.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
i now you are pissed of but But we thank you very much for it. and i now you ar the man and and you can do it:)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Please don't thank me too fast, I'll probably cancel it as the new ICS firmware set audio output to 48kHz, enforcing bad quality software up-sampling from 44.1kHz when listening to music.

It means unrecoverable damage to the audio stream, which probably now definitely disqualifies this device which has already many audio hardware implementation issues in terms of audio quality.

Basically ATM I'm trying to understand how to flash the official ICS ROM to measure the output with RMAA and establish this fact, which will likely lead me to canceling Voodoo Sound for Optimus 2x and refund everyone who bought it for this device.

Angry at LG for being so clueless about audio and myself for being so dumb buying their crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
that makes me want to smash this god damn phone to bits.

but, how do you know that they changed the sampling rate ? and WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY DO THAT ANYWAY ? f%*^ng lg... never again

to flash stock firmware it is best to use nv flash i think. because the pc upgrade software or what ever requires you to be on the latest gingerbread rom for your region if im correct.. its bullcrap.

[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Oh they just rewrote the whole audio driver from scratch.
[LG Optimus 2x] dorwoo:
Try again and in different usb ports.If still not working use nvflash.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
nvflash works perfeckt and is easy and her is all in one to cange bootloader then just flash the orginal rom and that is all easy

1.instal driver

2.take 4 and then new bl then cwm thats all

With this Tool you can flash an unmodified KDZ and root it.

And please consider about CM10. It will be a Development-Base for all Stuff that is coming.:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
No offense but isn't there any simple (and readable) instructions to flash a stock manufacturer ROM?

All I'm seeing in this post is colors and fix and bug and ext4, hmm not what I'm trying to do lol
[LG Optimus 2x] albi.i:
You can use our all in one tool to flash official LG kdz file
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Okay thanks I'll try just that then.
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:
Download an official KDZ, run that Tool, flash with Point 6. It is easy.:o

You can also root it with Point 3.
[LG Optimus 2x] massimo69:
Well its simple really ;) if you downloaded already a kdz file from here http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AINDDW/V30b_00/V30B_00.kdz. put it in the same directory as the tool. start the bat file, press 6 and follow the instructions on the screen.

to enter NVflash mode you need the drivers which are in the tool too (inside the NVflash folder) after that click on option 3 and root your phone :p
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
After running several programs, servers, running scripts as administrators it fails on my machine, letting the system with unknown modifications.

Yay.

No, honestly. LG just doesn't provide a working flashing / updating software, end of story?

Are people really updating their device this way (failing on my computer for ? It seems completely unrealistic to me.

PS: tool fails while trying to start something that has no association.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
your pc is cursed
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
Nvflash Driver are installed and you do all propertly and have you changed usb and reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I fixed the failing script that was trying to start a .doc file (not associated with a program on my computer)

Now the R&D Test tool is stuck for 10 minutes un-responding after selecting type as 3GQCT (saw that somewhere else) the KDZ, pushed Start Upgrade.

Doesn't work.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
why you dont try the opti flash i thing its on ubuntu and then flash a original rom
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
because the second first line is

IMPORTANT: So there are no incompatibilities issues it is recommended that before you Flash this ROM is Flash the ROM V30a Stock to Smartflash
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
man this make me sad that the program on every people goes only you have problems

and you can flash over cwm a orginal rom not changed only the bootloader is crackt and other stuf is org
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
what do you mean by bootloader is cracked.

New firmware comes with a locked bootloader?
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
yes it has a locked bootloader

damm no voodoo sound ?? because of it (please not )

ps:every one has it unlocked

(edit)

ps. Rc release nightlys for the old bl so you dont must update it
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I'm confused, do you guys ask me to flash a firmware that comes with a locked bootloader?

I don't support devices with locked bootloaders, and I don't plan to change that today.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
Rc release nightlys (cm10) for the old bl so you dont must update it if that is ok

it have surce of orginal lg v30a
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Did LG changed their policy and locked the bootloader with new firmwares despite Optimus 2x was originally sold with an open bootloader?

Can Optimus 2x be updated to official ICS without flashing a locked bootloader in the process?
[LG Optimus 2x] crossmission:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020737

I guess using option 8 installs an unlocked bootloader on official ics, I'm running django manouche ics so I don't need to do that,

hope I helped.
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:
Yes and No.

That's why you should please consider CM10 as it uses the old Bootloader and is probably the last ROM we will get.
[LG Optimus 2x] massimo69:
Apparently they did change their policy. Nope I dont think you can upgrade without changing bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Thanks for your answer but my question is.

A regular user udpates to its Optimus 2x to ICS.

Now he has a locked bootloader, right?

How is he supposed to root in order to use a potential Voodoo Sound port. Only hoping there's a security exploit available at the moment?
[LG Optimus 2x] massimo69:
There is a stock rom on old bootloader if that helps you.

Look for harsh tonyp V30a
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Sorry when I said stock ROM I meant manufacturer ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
you men if you can root with the bootloader locked
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I have no idea :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
haha what do you mean

i mean that i thing (but not sure) that you can root your phone without unlock the bootloader.

and you can unlock the bootloader ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] massimo69:
Well there is an option to gain root access in the locked bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
@supercurio:

If you want to chat in gtalk hit me up in PM, that might be faster than explaining the recent development here in the thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Thanks that would be lovely.

There's no PM for me but I'll try to see if you enabled email.
[LG Optimus 2x] crossmission:
lg no likey updatey, y u mad :)

not sure about being able to receive updates after unlocking and rooting as lg is not famous for pushing updates that fast so there's no way to verify and I really think that there's just gonna be one more update to ics just to fix a few bugs and be done with the 2x completely. There's not a chance in hell this is getting jellybean, so updating is a non-issue anymore. At least in my opinion and an educated guess after waiting for a year to get ics anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Being able to receive updates is crucial for security fixes.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Buy an iPhone. Enjoy your updates.

Hehe. In all seriousness, on my main pc on Windows 7 all the LG tools fail to work as well. Driver installed, smartflash and nvflash always fail. On another laptop, it works fine. Different USB ports make no difference. Are you using Windows 7? I had more luck with laptops on WinXP, and yes, Vista compared to Win7. Did you try another pc?
[LG Optimus 2x] crossmission:
true

I get it, LG doesn't, but seriously, I don't see any updates coming though, even security ones, there's already a v30b asian version out that fixes a lot of issues so they just might push that as a final update. You could email LG but I don't see a proper answer coming your way, more like "We will constantly strive to bring the best customer support possible pushing updates as fast as possible (once a year if you're lucky)

P.S. The Optimus 2x is a now an outdated device, Thank you for your patronage (suckers)."
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
superqurio is confused but tonyp say him everything and make him clear ^^

lock at the thread from arcee he has over 500-800 thanks so ther are many people

and many people will voodoo ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] Vippo321:
I am just confused, if LG made some progress with audio driver and I am waiting for supercurios statement if the driver is the same **** like before, or it is better now. Because I also noticed less static noise from headphone, now I can say that it is hardly noticeable. But I really miss the plus amp volume by voodoo. I am ready to pay again for the new voodoo sound...
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Based on what you say here it means they reduced the headphone amp gain: reducing hiss but also maximum volume output.

Driver is a regression in terms on quality on the fact it's forcing software upsampling from native 44.1 CD audio format to 48k, introducing artifacts and using CPU cycles for nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
I hope to that is the driver written good

i have not much money and my phone is 8 month old (it is a good phone)

i have buy a headphone (big headphone need voodoo ) with hope that voodoo is coming ^^

edit:

the volume is the same superqurio but less nois.

and is it really 48

but maybe it's not that bad^^
[LG Optimus 2x] Vippo321:
Do you talking about the GB version or the ICS? Maybe they just reduced the amp gain, but I do not noticed lover volume compared to the GB stock max volume. But I am not 100% sure, maybe is just because I use power amp with direct volume control... and thank you to your explanation, it is a little bit clearer now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] hairycheapo:
@Supercurio.

I am a p999 user (the G2x in North America). I can tell you that your work is underappreciated on the G2x forums. The kernel dev's build in support for Voodoo, but the user base seems to overlook it or not understand it. I don't know how best to get the word out. We have some pretty bad info on the G2x forums...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605489&highlight=voodoo+sound

Unlike the O2x, the G2x doesn't have an official ICS or JB update to worry about. So any commercial app effort is still focused only on Gingerbread - and it already works great! Maybe you should send an message to the ROM dev's urging them to mention your app in their original posts. Because for $3 Voodoo Sound is a worthwhile improvement. It's a shame to see users discussing $100+ headphones when there's so much potential revealed with $3...

BTW - I use CM7 based ROM's, but I think I've tested Voodoo using a stock based ROM/kernel too.
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
How does Voodoo app coexist with PowerAMP function "Direct Volume Control"?

It feels to me like direct HW access, but... dunno...

Would Voodoo help? (And to add, I like precision, over bass boost and/or other ESP "enhancements".)

[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
He has tried smartflash already. But if he like me is running win 7 64-bit, one must use an old lg-driver to get it to work. Don't remember which one, so now I just use my netbook with xp, works everytime. And the timeout problems in smartflash can be becouse of antivirus and such, I must deactivate most tray-apps for it to work. But I guess he already got it working, since tonyp helped him. And btw, the locked bootloader doesn't matter that much for voodoo I guess, since you can still root and have access to everything like before. You can even flash the old bootloader back, so. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] x_justin:
Hi I am convinced I can solve your smartflash problem, I know it because I helped many people in a dutch forum with the same probs. It's easy, just disable your antivirus. I tried some different anti virus and malware programs and some of them like security essentials and ESET nod32 are blocking some trafic on the com ports.

You are doïng everything right because you are able to start the whole flash progress. If smartflash doesn't see your phone, just reboot PC without connecting the USB cable.

Personally I don't like smartflash. I love NVFlash, it's easy, low level and just perfect.. Never had any NVFlash problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] nocio:
hmm, I had the same problem as he...

For those who get errors while flashing, this is what always fixes issues for me: (thanks to Custom40)

1) Reboot PC and just start over.

Or:

2) If you face an error in the middle of the installation, then re-plug the phone, start over but this time put the AP file in the CP bin box and the CP file in AP box.

couple of restarts pc solve my problem
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Guys, we had a short chat in gtalk and he already managed to flash v30a successfully.

Actually it was just the USB cable he used first, another one resolved the problems. I remembered having such problems with an HTC cable as well, so keep this in mind if NVFlash doesn't work for someone.

Now it's up to him to publicly announce his future development plans about the 2x.

[LG Optimus 2x] dabl8:
Hello, testing :laugh: After a couple of years on CM10 I'm back on CM7 because of the Voodoo Sound, the greater DSP Manager behaviour and the better battery life, since I'm mainly using the phone for audio. I'm happy I reverted but there's one annoying bug with the Voodoo control app. It's been mentioned in the thread but Supercurio didn't reproduce it. I'm not sure how to reproduce it myself; it seems to be related to audio being off for a while or headphones being plugged in but sometimes when playback is started it's at maximum volume though it can be restored with one press of the volume button. I've tried all combinations of switches in the app but there seems to be no solution.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:

[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hi!

Nope, bluetooth headset are fully independent audio hardware, I cannot access them.

All the phone does is compressing the signal using a lossy codec named SBC, implemented usually in a proprietary way in the ROM. This signal is sent to the headset.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hi!

Voodoo Sound works at the hardware level (only affecting audio driver & hardware)

Its an unrelated issue.

Plus, things happens only when you start / stop playing something or change manually a setting.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yah speaker improvement is planned, I'll need to write in driver a path recognition first.

I don't think I'll be able to make it much louder though because it's already very loud isn't it?

But more balanced, I already made some tests with much better sound quality than stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] tetsuo55:
There are a number of situations where the speaker volume seems severely limited.

Although the ringtone and message tones are loud enough, it seems there is a -XDb correction for media audio. Things like youtube videos can be difficult to hear, while a ringtone can be heard from several rooms away.

Not sure if that is something you can fix, but fingers crossed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Yes it is very strange with ringtone and sms tone it is so loud that i have to reduce volume. But music and video through speaker sux i can hardly hear. So there must be a hiddent setting which reduce it. Hope voodoo will solve it
