[LG Optimus 2x] stopmybeat:
Bought to support, does it work on a stock froyo rom with only root?
[LG Optimus 2x] stopmybeat:
Hi i put it on enable boot on restart and it says voodoo loading problems but if i manual click on it after boot it loads? anyone know how to get it to work on boot? custom kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Woooaaaahhh really? Could anything bad happen? lol

I would like to avoid the Sqlite hack lol
[LG Optimus 2x] :
You might want to take a look at the kernel I have built using CM7 kernel with voodoo patches only. See my signature for details.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Do you keep up with the kernel updates?
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I have just gotten started and it is at par with CM7 nightly kernel. I intend to keep it updated as I use it myself for daily use on CM7 nightly. Since this is not my full time job, I might slack at times. Reason for not deviating from CM7 nightly kernel & voodoo is not to introduce my own bugs and complicate debugging.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Haha that's all I can ask for anyway! Thanks for doing this.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
There is no Sqlite hack in vorkKernel anymore, but we do have a lot of performance improvements :) And voodoo sound
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I second that, vorkkernel has seen more devices and developed by folks more capable than me. Use the kernel I build if you just want Voodoo on top of CM7.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Excuse me, but I find it hard to believe that you second a fact.. VorkKernel is indeed faster, and does indeed have Voodoo Sound implemented.

Please correct me if you meant something else with your post.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
"I second that" means, I support the fact. It is a usage. When someone proposes, you second it - which means, you agree and support it :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Ahh, thanks for explaining. I'm not a native speaker, so some of these expressions confuse me
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
@supercurio May I ask a (maybe) stupid question about audio quality?

How do you think a good implementation (you said LG has done things not very good on Optimus 2x regarding audio drivers) of your Voodoo driver would compare with dedicated devices like valuable mp3 player like Iaudio products for example.... in terms of pure audio quality...

I know seems a pretty strange questions but yesterday I was comparing my D2+ audio with my Optimus 2x audio...same song, pretty much same volume.....no EQ, no tweaks, etc...
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Cannot even image x2 can compare to cowon. Its some of the best audio-quality in the world. If not the best!
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
Hey Kiljacken, im getting a DSP Force Close on the new Vorkkernel , i dont really use DSP is it safe to delete it from System/app or does voodoo depend on it?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Just ignore DSP Manager, It's crappy software effect, so feel free to delete it. Also, ask such questions in the vorkKernel thread
[LG Optimus 2x] ker0ltjuh:
hey, do i need vorkkernel and the paid voodoo app to make this work? and does the quality of the phone speaker also increase? or only the headphone audio?
[LG Optimus 2x] McRabbi:
Does this mean I'm fully functional?
[LG Optimus 2x] sarni84:
Yes.....lol u don't hear the awesomeness? ? And great job supercurio can't wait to see what is to come
[LG Optimus 2x] McRabbi:
In that case, I'm glad its working. But I might suggest disabling the load sound driver option under this condition to avoid the user attempting it and getting an error plus crashing the module. It was my problem the whole time.
[LG Optimus 2x] ker0ltjuh:
someone?

10char
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
yes you need vork and voodoo plus if you are on cm7. and I do not think the sound quality is being improved yet, but i think it will be increase in later build;)
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Only the paid version of the control app supports LG Optimus 2X. You don't need it for getting the drivers (You can flash it.). You do need it for the volume keys hacking (Different method of volume adjustment) and upcoming features as long as the free version is not available.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Just bought the app and got a surprise in the market while installing it:

"Installation error: Package has not been correctly signed"

(freely translated from Dutch to English). What's going on Supercurio? I tried the refund button for now but even that didn't work (never tried that before, actually)!
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Great quality on this supercurio, top notch. Just a couple of bugs to report. When you use the map vol keys hack, and press vol down, the indicator shows the digital volume going down by one, and vol up increases it to max again. Seems limited to only the penultimate digital volume notch. Doesn't actually change digital volume though. Also, on headset plug-in, volume is maxed out until I touch the volume keys.
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Just updated CM7 from build #71 to build #81 and Voodoo sound stopped working :/ But I guess that will be fixed soon :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Yup, I have the same problem here. I learned to hit the volume keys before playing a song.
[LG Optimus 2x] new2city:
works if you install vorkKernel over it.
[LG Optimus 2x] ker0ltjuh:
well thnx but that whas not really my question :P
[LG Optimus 2x] svceon:
F'ING nice job supercurio. Sound is just penetrating mg ears awesomely now... OMG how much quality are people missing with their stock devices?!
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Not much if they don't play it loud. =P
[LG Optimus 2x] :
if you have purchased it, you can just download it again. I brought it 2 days back and it works fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
Ok, im a bit confuse, do i need both voodoo plus from market and vorkkernel install to hear good sound? Or just either will do the magic?
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
Voodoo sound working on latest Gr1 modaco gingerbread leak. No extra kernel required, work on stock kernel, with voodoo paid application.
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
You need to install both. Latest vorKernel and the voodoo plus app.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Nobody else has this? Using mcr fr19.
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Let me get this straight. Voodoo is only for headphones right? Not for the speakers?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
I just flashed the vorkKernel and installed the Voodoo Plus app. And when I open the app I get this message:

What do I do know?

Edit: Second rebood solved it. But the sound is just the same..
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
I also had that problem once yesterday. Just reflashed the kernel again and after booting it worked fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
What do I need to do know? I have activated it and all that, but the quality is just the same as before.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Click on the "Headphone amplifier" and increase the gain. Use headphone to hear the difference. I use Voodoo as a pre-amplifier and DSPManager for equalizer. I am using the kernel I have built with latest CM7 & Voodoo (see signature below). Never imagined O2X had the ability to play good audio till Voodoo!
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
as far as i see in this thread the only thing changed by voodoo now is the AMP to increase the soundvolume? So all the guys here feel a placebo effect ore did the audioquality realy changed?
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Being a lazy programmer, I tried DSPManager first. I did not notice any difference with DSPManager turned on/off. I then built Voodoo magic on CM7 kernel with no other modifications (and I intend to maintain it that way), brought the Voodoo Control Plus application from Market and there was a huge increase in volume with no added distortion. I then tried the DSPManager on top of Voodoo, it is simply WOW!. My guess is Voodoo acts as a good pre-amplifier for the DSPManager, the overall outcome of building the kernel and buying the app, no second thoughts.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I had this before, the refund button doesn't seem to work unless you've actually downloaded the app, I think.
[LG Optimus 2x] eternum79:
But voodoo sound, is only for earphones or for the speaker too? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Hiss/noise ratio of digital and analogue volume levels.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Im disapointed, after I read some comments here and at Market I had some expectations to enhance my sound. But there is absolutley no difference at all, complete waste of money. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Could you please be more specific with the steps you have taken? ROM, kernel and did you increase the gain from the application? I have no personal gains by writing about my experiences with Voodoo. I am using the kernel I've built CM7+Voodoo and get noticeable improvements. I use Voodoo to increase the overall volume and DSPManager for the equalizer. If there is a way to export my DSPManager & Voodoo settings, I can send them over to you (titanium backup backs up the application too and since Voodoo is paid app, I do not want to distribute it, let me know if there is a way).
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
What a bug. Stupid. But.. anyway I don't have the app now and paid 3 for it, supercurio?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Im using MIUI with the latest vorkKernel. I also changed the value in "Headphone amplifier" as someone said I should do.

Im not using DSPManager since its not included in MIUI atm, but theres an Eq in the music player wich Im already using.

Did I miss anything?

Edit: My headphones costed about $160, so Im not using any crappy ****. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mason.:
Hackworks, does your Kernel include the battery improvements that were included in the latest cm7 kernel? I think it was introduced in nightly 79
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Yes, it is pegged to the latest CM7 kernel with Voodoo patches only by choice. Easy to troubleshoot and debug.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
so you cant hear it, that your phone can play alot higher when before ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
I dont need to play any louder. About 2-3 clicks on the volume is enough for me. Any louder than that would cause me a headache and damage my ears. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
hmm so why are you disapointed, its only the headphone amplifier where is working right now, as you can read on the changelog in the android market;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Everyone said that the sound quality should be better? Right now there is no difference in volume or quality.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
no try read the changelog for voodoo control plus on the android market in your phone
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Oh, thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] svceon:
Hund, something might be wrong with your configuration, with me its a lot better (volume and quality since it is amplified) and it wasn't very difficult to get it to work.
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Thanx but I gave up on #81, its way too unstable anyway. Running RC1 again and Voodoo works there :)
[LG Optimus 2x] new2city:
I am downloading #83 now, supposed to include Voodoo in the kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] mopodo:
No kernel update in there ;)

Will be in #84
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I don't know yet which quality I'll be able to reach.

Only thing I can tell is that it will be better than *now* ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
It means you had a previous application installed that was not signed with my key.

Probably a pirate version......
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Top notch, not yet ^^ but thanks ;)

Yes, the indicator always show one step lower when you press volume down.

I cannot hide the dialog because its displayed by the system, that's why I show the real digital volume in my custom volume change notification. This one is always right.

Digital volume is always maxed out to maximize the dynamic range and use full 16bits, but only reduced if you want to go lower than -57dB which is the minimal analog gain.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes so far the only change affects the headphone amp analog gain.

But it is already a quality improvement, depends on which headphones you use. Example:

- Sensitive isolating in-ear: difference: much less hiss, better clarity.

Because the volume is set by reducing the amp gain instead of shirking the digital signal, hiss & noise is almost as much reduced as the signal.

Because most of those equipment provide a good isolation, it's easy to hear hiss in quiet parts of music, when you listen to podcasts, things like that.

Less background noise is also more pleasing and less fatiguing.

- You were already listening at 100% volume (or almost), you still listen at the same volume.

In this case, there's basically no difference with the current v1 driver: no gain.

- Previous maximum volume was not loud enough:

Improvement is obvious now, you can listen louder. Not a trick or a gimmick, the headphone amp simply amplifies more the output signal in order to drive your headphones or line-out properly.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Speaker tuning is the next feature in a long TODO list.

ps: as usual, no ETA. I'm not focusing on speed but quality :D
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Sure comments are overwhelming, but mostly originated from people using mature implementations (Samsung devices).

Work here is brand new as stated clearly in the app description/Changelog.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
I saw several Android market fails the latest days (Market internal error :eek:)

Please send me a mail with the related transaction numbers, I'll see what I can do.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
No, the beta version you sent me in pm :-P

Uninstalled it and it worked now.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hehe yes this one too, sorry I forgot ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] xaedon:
is this working on mcr-fr19 or is it only for cm7?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Just bought the VooDoo Plus Control from Market and installed on my self compiled CM7 KANG, post build 83. I'm just speechless ... :)

A Must Buy APP!!!

Great Job!
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
This is what I'm looking forward to. Will buy the app once we've got more, general sound improvements. Ofc I'm happy with all the effort and work you put into the project already (but haven't tried it since my ear phones is pretty bad).

Keep it up! :-D
[LG Optimus 2x] junky4rd:
Voodoo kernel pls :D

Well, combine with voodoo kernel will be awesome for LG Optimus 2X :D

will LG Optimus got Voodoo kernel also ? :D

just asking but we hope :D

-thx curio for the sounds-
[LG Optimus 2x] ilos:
hmm using CM7 #84 + latest vorkKernel ( including voodoo modules )

so Voodoo Plus ( bought from the market ) is not needed anymore if i use this kernel ?

look at the screenshoot
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It shouldn't need to load the module if it's built into VK, something's not right.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
supercurio, I use an app called irssi connectbot for a ssh client into my irc shell.. It's open source, but I wanted to highlight it because it manages to intercept volume button keypresses to change the resolution of the terminal. Source is here: http://code.google.com/p/irssi-connectbot/

Maybe you could implement something similar to remove that dialogue?
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Sorry no I don't plan to build Kernels for this device, I prefer the patches being integrated in other's developers work.

I'm also lazy, and noticed it was better not competing with other devs by publishing kernels myself ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Hi!

Thats kind of you sending me this tip.

But it's intercepting Volume key events only when the app is visible right?

I do that too already.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I'm surprised why supercurio is not written as author in the voodoo commit to lge-star kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I guess it's an automatic thing, the chap that makes the pull request is the 'author'
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
No need to say and I don't like it too much...

I asked the maintainer to fix it, I'll see.

Plus I would recommend to merge individual patches instead of big ones.

https://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_lge-p990/commits/froyo-voodoo-sound commits apply to both LG and CM kernels.

I'll made pull requests myself starting with next commits, reverting the previous ones if its not already done.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
U have my moral support. Its your hard work. Enough said.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Ah yes, I see, my bad.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TjPhysicist:
Hi, i made the horrific and possibly worst decision in the world and bought a Samsung galaxy s...that being done, I would like to know if i can rectify my decision and possibly install something decent on this phone.

I am ok with any rom at all, vanilla/not vanilla i couldn't care less, the stock rom is just so terrible. It hangs all the time, the lockscreen fc;s like every hour. It takes a good 15 minutes to play music everytime i turn it on.

I am perfectly fine with alpha stuff so long as i can use Wifi and make calls, at least. I have looked thru all the forums here and most threads are not about the telus phone, which is actually a vibrant or are so outdated that the links are not working anymore and the instructions are no longer valid.

TL;DR: I have a telus galaxy S, which is a vibrant but with software and band freq. differences, I would like any ROM suggestions from someone who has installed them, possibly with some kind of instruction that is still valid. PLease and thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convotutor:
I believe telus galaxy s is called the Fascinate.

So maybe you'll have a better luck on the Fascinate forum.

Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
Ever since I have flashed 2.3.3 I've been having problems.

-Download mode can only be accessed from adb reboot download

-The only way I got drivers to recognize in download mode was to install them from Samsung Kies mini.

-No button combination works to get into download mode, it takes you to recovery mode every time.

-My four touch button lights will not shut off after turning phone off and vibration confirming shut down.

Once I finally got it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click, I used Kies mini to upgrade to 2.2. I still have these same problems, all which started happening after I upgraded to the 2.3.3 SamFirmware leak. Not only have I been reading these problems from this leak but from other roms using 2.3.3.

To clarify, I am not blaming anyone, I am simply looking for a fix or to be told that I have done something wrong. Anything will be appreciated, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
I asked this over in other thread too buddy. What are the key combos u have tried?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I have tried the 3-buttom combo - volume - and + along with the power. release power when att boot logo comes up. I've even tried to hold power down and let it cycle through the boot logo a couple times before releasing it. No luck, only recovery mode.

remove battery, sim, sd card. hold both volume - and +. put in battery and Usb cable as soon as battery is in. no luck, only recovery mode.

I've even tried the i9000's download mode. I think its volume down and power...only recovery mode.

The only way I was able to get into download mode was adb reboot download. I haven't tried a jig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzeng2000:
I got the same issue. The worse thing for me is I cannot get it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click because the driver can't recognize the device any more (It works fine before flashing to GB). How do you get it back to 2.1 stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I downloaded kies mini from the samsung site. Once installed, you can find an option to install the phones drivers when the phone is recognized by kies. Odin registered my phone in download mode after that and I was able to one-click back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzeng2000:
I am going to try that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.AdAbsurdum:
I had this problem when going to a 2.3.3 rom before, sometimes it just needs a little and some tender loving repeatable connects, other times maybe just to be left alone for a day or two... I'm not sure if this will work but if you can get a com port from Odin 1 click without having to be in download mode I.e. the phone is on, try a master clear, let the phone boot up and see if you were able to get a com port again(leave it connected during boot), then do various methods to get in download mode starting with the GB method

Hope any of this helps at all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Try powering phone off, then while phone is off, hold vol down (just down, not up and down) and insert usb. Should give you dl mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
You're right. It should, but if the 2.3.3 ROM is effecting everyone the same way. NO BUTTON COMBOS WORK. That's just it. You can name it, and I've tried it. It does not work. Only thing that does work is adb reboot download. I have not tried a jig, but why bother if the phone boots.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philhachey:
Does your volume down button work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
It does, indeed. All of my buttons work. Still, I only get to recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brievolz84:
I too am having the same problem with 2.3.3 i897UCKF1 boot loaders. I can't get into download mode or recovery. Hopefully a jig will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Could it be Rom/Kernel issue? Im on i897UCKF1 Boot loaders with Cog 5 B3 and works fine for me. I have that issue before though the phone just didn't want to go in to down load mode for me, but it was with froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Download Android Terminal Emulator from market. Once it's installed, open it, and type su. This should have the app ask for root rights. Once you allow it, type reboot download and press the enter button on the virtual keyboard. if the phone just goes black and doesnt reboot after a short while, just battery pull and turn it back on. You can also use this method to get into recovery by substituting reboot download with reboot recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brievolz84:
Sorry for being cryptic on my initial post, this is what I'm dealing with. I can't get the phone out of phone---!---computer screen and I've tried all the button combinations.

here's what I did. I was in stock enclair and copied continuum 6.1 to the sd card. I then get into download mode to flash 2.3.3 boot loaders. That was successful so I booted back into download mode to flash the talon kernel. I changed the zip to a tar so Odin 1.83 can recognize the file in the pda section. I clicked start and odin failed (I didn't know you had to be in recovery mode to flash the kernel it wasn't listed in the instructions I had). I rebooted the phone and got the phone---!---computer screen with this message:

Firmware update failed ! Try going into Recovery mode.

Hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Does your computer recognize your phone as anything while you're in the phone!pc state? You could try Adam's Once-Click Unbrick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brievolz84:
It sure does, odin recognizes it and the sound comes on when the phone boots

EDIT: It says I need to put it in download mode which is the problem I'm having
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Did you try the OCUB I posted? It's supposed to work at that screen. Yes, it does run on Windows lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brievolz84:
I just did and the phone reset and is in enclair. Now lets see if I can get Continuum to flash. Thank you so much!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chn0s1s:
Even though the phone boots - a jig I've found is a GUARANTEED way to get into download mode. A jig is a VERY useful tool and only costs like $8. If you plan on flashing your phone again in the future - it's certainly NOT a waste to buy one.
