[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danni_ind:
I have an sgs as well as the note2 now....

I own sony extra bass earphones they sound really awesome in the samsung galaxy S , just a little less in the Note2 but all the difference I see is of the bass ..the galaxy s pumps those beats quite well unlike the note2

And just fyi just throw the stock samsung earphones in the dustbin..they are worst like made in china nit china is to blame but its cheapass ! ( Sony made in Philippines)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckofdeath:
The chip in the SGS really did shine with a bit of Voodoo:

Youtube: watch?v=-c5XOTP77qs

It's really rare for a smartphone to be able to record in extreme environments like that. The Nokia Lumia 920 is another phone with similar capabilities, here's a comparison of that one with the HTC 8x at the same event:

Youtube: watch?v=svM5g_9539Y

Phones in general get the result of the HTC, including the SGS without the Voodoo fix. I Haven't really tried the new gen Samsung's in a location like this, but I know that the SGS3 sounds basically like the HTC above, because the microphone doesn't enable recording for loud environments in the software.

Sure, recording in loud environments isn't something you normally do, but, it's still nice to have the ability to do it.

Sorry for the "broken" youtube links, apparently I'm not old enough to post links... :)

So we now technically have voodoo for the note2 right? Since scoobydoo is basically voodoo?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankey:
Awesome! Now we finally have voodoo like sound on our Note 2.

Couple of things missing in Siyah's implementation:

1. No volume slider hack so to keep digital volume max and tweaking analog one needs to be done through Stweaks app and the change happens after we change and hit "Apply" against realtime hack in voodoo sound app. This means, dynamic range is low in lower volume and noise floor high. Also means we wont get extended volume levels (0-63) instead of only 15 levels in default digital volume slider

2. No video recording DRC hack as in voodoo sound app (haven't tested, may be hidden but atleast no tweaking of DRC possible)

I prefer using voodoo sound app which is not yet detecting these kernels to be compatible with it to enjoy the above features.

Also I prefer the below kernel for this for CPU and GPU overclocking options in Stweaks app:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927852

Hope Supercurio adds support for these kernels atleast in his paid app.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caustic386:
so.......

I'm a n00b with all this, so can someone boil it down to a yes/no: Voodoo for Note 2? Sound quality on par with Galaxy 1?

I have Westones, not the usual earbuds, and the S1 is literally the best FLAC player I've ever owned. It's certainly a bit long in the tooth at this point, however, so I'm interested in upgrading but not willing to give up the Wolfson + Voodoo. I'm in the states, but I've got no problem buying an unlocked model from elsewhere if necessary.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm tied to USCC (job pays for phone), not sure if that matters
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
yes its the same ( but not totally ) with kernel like red pill and Perseus :)

but i don't think voodoo sound will come any time soon from supercurio :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caustic386:
Thank you very much. Is scoobydoo on par with voodoo?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ars_92:
This is a question which im dying to know the answer too lol.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankey:
Check my earlier post which answers the question and highlight the difference. In a nutshell, headphones output is same and you get best quality keeping global volume max and controlling analog volume through Stweaks will give you what we expect from voodoo sound.

Infact stweaks has hardware based 3D audio processing and parametric equalizers which is not available in voodoo sound app yet (or already the free version I use don't have them).

I will compare voodoo sound on my Galaxy R (identical to S1) and scoobydoo on Note 2 and update here.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Sounds great, thanks. Might be what I need to move from stock. Though I have a pet peeve with expressions like 3d audio, what does that even mean?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosephL:
I'm interested in better sound too. Stweaks doesn't support stock Kernel. What would I need to flash to improve my SQ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Red pill kernel has scoobydoo. In my opinion it's far away from voodoo on sgs, and the eq is kind of useless, but definitely an improvement.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosephL:
Thanks! Will this work on T-mobile stock rom? If I install this can I still receive OTA updates?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketpaul:
Agreed, it would be great in voodo came to the note 2, but it hasnt even made it to the s3 unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nucleic acid:
here are kind of good news:

a few hours ago on supercurio's twitter channel I found the following short conversation:

@supercurio: hello, what about vodoo sound for galaxy note 2. still working on it?.

@Goku: yes that's right. Not progressing very fast because I'm multitasking sorry.

At least francois is still on track....and I think he will continue to bring voodoo on our Note 2 because he personally owns one...and likes it.

We just need to be a little more patient, thats all.

So far, I already like how my new AKG K167 sound like on the Note 2...but when I use them with my old SGS+Voodoo there's still a more than noticable difference in sound quality.

Please Francois, make it happen....Santa is coming :angel:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosephL:
That's good news! Please keep us posted.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kradcliffe:
I fear he's on to bigger and better things and that Voodoo is no longer a priority.

TBH with the headphone volume hack, Equalizer and Poweramp I'm completely happy. Every bit as good as the SGS and even a bit louder :)

I am very pleased with the Sound Quality, but there is a annoying his whenever i play vids/music on any software.

Hiss is very noteable with my Inear, not with fullsize headphone. I was hoping for voodoo to fix this.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guisar:
Alternative to voodoo

For those of you looking for better sound, I use both a Fiio E7 (portable) and an ODAC (car and office)- both work perfectly with the Note, the E7 I just attach with a tiny OTG cable and then plug my headphones into that. The ODAC is really tiny (like 1x1" and about 1/16" thick) same deal only I plug the analogue output into my desk headphone amp. The sound is fabulous. I assume if you are using voodoo you're not using earbuds and are listening in good enough environment to hear the difference- the e7 in particular is cheap, has its own battery and is just great. So, bummer about voodoo but I'm super happy with an external dac.

Hello friends...

I do not have access to any pc, laptop etc here at my workplace.

So is there any method by which I can flash CWM recovery and root my tab 2 7".

Thanks in advance !!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ottonet:
Try with Mobile Odin

You can find it on Google Play store, but it must be bought, or you can download free from here: (cannot post link, delete th blanks in the URL below)

http: // forum . xda - developers . com/showthread . php?t=1347899

Beware! Mobile Odin does not Have CWM recovery, but keeps your system rooted whenever you flash a firmware. It leaves Samsung original recovery and does not increment the custom ROM counter.

No using odin . You download ROM manager for google market.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:
I made a complete ROM backup for a new Alcatel 918(Without D/M/N) running 2.3.6. The backup was a success using SP Flash tool.

I intend to use this backup to resuscitate another phone of the same make and model.

I used scatter retriever and so I have a Alcatel 918 2.3.6 scatter.

The problem I have is that I have had no successing in downloading the preloader file...it fails on selection.

What might be the problem?

Does anyone have a working preloader of this version?

I will be grateful.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] baditaflorin@gmail.com:
Can you upload the other files, without the preloader ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yuweng:
@baditaflorin

You drop by to my thread & i search for ur name & found you everywhere posting everywhere asking for help...

Moral of the story, never flash other ROM, it will surely brick ur phone if its not meant for it... :o

@kippsoft

Even the great linerty still haven't figure out a way to decode PRELOADER, DSP_BL & SEC_RO...use google chrome for translation, its translation makes more sense compare to other... :D

With linerty's gscript ROM backup script, you can use it with SP Flash Tool for flashing full ROM except for the above file...the tut here describe on how to use it...

Typically, with linerty's MTK Rom Studio generated scatter.txt, you can just untick everything except android(system.img) & flash it...This will surely restore it...

However, in another word, if the phone you plan to resuscitate is overwritten & that includes the above 3 files like baditaflorin here then there is very slim chances it can be brought back to life unless you have a complete ROM from Alcatel or you could just send it back to Alcatel Service Center... :o

i have known a few fellow xda member that ask from its local service center(for other brand) when they brick their phone & confirm indeed even these service center is also using SP Flash Tool to flash complete ROM to un-brick it & they manage to get a copy of it... :laugh:

So may be you can try your luck & see if you can obtain it... :fingers-crossed:

Hi, Do you still have the ROM bakup for your alcatel 918 (withoud D/M/N) ?

Boot into cwm and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache also. Then re flash ROM of your choice. If it still won't boot I suggest trying another ROM or Odin back to stock and re root your device.

I download china kernel from tezet (even if i m in france) and i install it (i start recovery mode with connected to power)

Hope you can resolve your problem
[Milestone 2 General] Peter_Schneider:
You are right, the problem is caused by flashing different roms contain different kernel. I met similar problem before. Flash correct requested kernel before flashing the rom you want is necessary.

Suggestion for other users: Before flashing new rom, know what is your current kernel version, and do necessary adjusted work if needed.

apaini,

if you have ? when you're charging phone, you cannot use RSD because of lower charge

try to update your kernel
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
He can't update kernel because CWM recovery is not accesible, RSD is the only way
[Milestone 2 General] Peter_Schneider:
The problem may be caused by flashing the CM10 directly, you need to flash a updated kernel (check what tezet said about the kernel update in his CM10) from froyo kernel to CH kernel before flashing CM10 (not the first two CM10 release, which asks for froyo kernel to run.)

I had similar problem when I flashed directly from froyo kernel to a CM10 that asks for GB kernel to run. So I flashed a updated kernel before flashing CM10, then it CM 10 working.

I assume the problem is caused by different kernel. We usually call it "M logo stuck" problem. Hope my suggestion works. And hope your work will work soon.

Best wishes,

Peter

Nice ROM. Debloated, but still has some of the Blur and VZW apps I do use. With the Razr M Launcher addition, I might make this my regular ROM.

Question though...this comes with two home screens to choose from. I have the Razr M home screen as my default, but what about that second launcher that still is supposedly present and just covered up by the Launcher being currently used? Is the background launcher consuming extra memory and battery just by being there? I would tend to think it is, to some extent. In that case, should I freeze or uninstall the unused launcher? (This is something I've always wondered about secondary launchers, not just this one.)

Other than that, nice and effective ROM. I look forward to future updates.
