Re: [KERNEL][TW][3-30-13]PeanutButta Jelly

I couldn't get EQ to work no matter how I set it and/or backed out.

Stereo expansion worked but not mono down mix or speaker tuning. And speaker volume didn't work. The headphone amplifier works but the implementation of what voodoo sounds calls 'smart amplifier' is not very good.

It does accomplish the main thing that matters to me which is being lower volume then you get with stock. But I'm going to go back to a kernel that suppports voodoo sound. The main thing for me is the better implementation of smart amplifier.

update - I figured out why smart amplifier in voodoo sound works 'better'. In voodoo sound the software volume level is changed first. Meaning the volume of what you are hearing changes. When the software volume is all the way down then the HW volume decreases (if you are turning down of course). The result is a smooth uninterrupted drop in volume.

Boeffla does it the other way around. Which means when you are turning the volume down the level you hear does not change until the HW level is all the way down. In plain English if something starts blasting your ears, you have to mash the down volume button a bunch of times before the level you are hearing starts to drop.

Having gone back to voodoo after trying Boeffla, I'm going to stick with voodoo.

Re: [KERNEL][TW][3-30-13]PeanutButta Jelly

I looked at it on Play Store and it is a lot like Poweramp which I already have. It doesn't get quite as good of reviews though. If one of these apps could affect sound for Pandora too I'd be a happy camper.

Re: [KERNEL][TW][3-30-13]PeanutButta Jelly

I'm sorry if this had already been covered by u haven't seen it. .. Is it normal that after flagging latest kernel over beans 12 I have no boot animation? I was really looking forward to stock boot animation.

Either way boot animations isn't important.. This kernel is the best and I love your straight forward OP.

Beans adds init.d support and AOSP boot animation support to the kernel packaged with his ROM.

Re: [KERNEL][TW][3-30-13]PeanutButta Jelly

So if I flash the kernel from the OP this thread will that overwrite that stuff? I don't need it And would like stock boot animation.

Again thank you for all your work. Seriously .

Edit: flashed 3/30 kernel successfully but just black screen where boot animation would be. Scared the **** out of me but still works.

Hey nuts after two full days with your newest kernel my phone just froze up. I noticed it happened same way with your other versions too. Both on clean SE and mean bean. Usually when watching Netflix any ideas? Doesn't happen on any other kernel I've used.

New build up. I believe it may fix the issues people see after extended periods of up-time, but it's kind of hard to test that in a couple minutes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Reporting back no issues with freezing so far great job and boeffla sound is awesome very crisp and clean sound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
You realize that Boeffla sound is nearly the same, except for the fact that it works consistently where Voodoo Sound didn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
I must say i think the freezing lockups are remedied so far been running all weekend and not one issue thanks imnuts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Minor update posted. If you're on 0404, I don't think the config change does anything to it, but feel free to flash anyway. Biggest change is that you can now run PeanutButta Jelly on pretty much any Note 2 out there. I've added builds for the AT&T, International, International LTE, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Note 2 variants. Those pretty much all untested, but I believe they work. If you have one of these and test it out, please report any issues.

this kernel sucks cause now I have nothing to complain about

damn you lol

smooth kernel good job
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Voodoo Sound isn't coming back. I looked at the code and nothing was different that I could find (and would affect functionality) compared to kernels where people said it was working all the time. I don't know why people don't like Boeffla, it works all the time and from what I can see, has all the same functions and then some. Granted, I haven't tested all of the stuff, because I couldn't use everything, but I've tried most of it, and everything I've tried has worked, unlike VS.

I also like the fact that it is newer. The Voodoo Sound code that is being used by everyone is almost 2 years old. Not saying it doesn't get the job done all the time, but there are likely other changes that could be made and fixes. It was also written with a different sound chip in mind, where Boeffla was started on the SGS3, which has the same audio codec that we use on the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezas:
To all. Sorry I caused such a problem. My intent was not to beat the subject into the ground and was just agreeing with the poster I quoted without rehashing the details.

But to some. . . I follow multiple threads for multiple devices at least once a day, and usually more, so don't presume to know how much I do or don't read.

But apparently I stepped over a line here, and will accept that criticism as justified.

Imnuts, no explanation, or justification for your choices was expected, or needed, but thanks.

My bad for coming across as such a douche (unfortunate part of my personality), I just get frustrated reading the same comments and questions over and over again. I too have a lot of subscribed threads (about 50) that I have to keep up on, some because they are my theme threads and some because they are the roms I support, So I do understand that sometimes its overbearing, especially when you got a lack of time to do so.

But either way try boeffla sound, it seems way more stable and the sound control app gives you more options imo. Plus this is the only sound mod I've used on any phone that will make the external speaker louder without distorting sound quality.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I still can't get the equalizer in Boeffla to work. Am I the only one with this problem? The only thing I can think of that might be causing it is maybe the PowerAmp app is blocking it somehow. Maybe it took over the connection to the rom's controls or something. All I know is PowerAmp's controls work perfectly but I can't use them to affect sound on other apps. I have the AnEq app which works but is lacking features I'd like to have. I'd like to use Boeffla but the eq doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
I use poweramp and it works fine for me. I find I have to toggle the settings sometimes but it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Ok thanks. Then I have no clue what causes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
It doesnt always take. For instance, ill switch to a setting I dont want, then back to the one I do want and it seems to work that way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
The only thing I miss when I use AnEq to listen to iHeart is wide stereo. I don't need it for my mp3 collection in the phone. It's no biggy. I'm still going to use the PB&J kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
You should try this eq it works great imo better than aneq. Only issue i have is that you have to launch it each time so it takes effect but it works with all audio apps I've used. Pandora, slacker, i heart etc.....

Fast Charge Option

Please excuse my noobness, but I did not see this discussed so far.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus with AOKP and Tiny Kernel, I had an option for Fast Charge that basically shut off USB data functionality and utilized the entire USB connection for charging the device. AOKP had a toggle for this, but it only worked if the kernel supported it.

My question is this: Can this functionality be included in this kernel? I really don't want to use a different kernel to get this as I would lose Boeffla Sound support.

Any plans for this in the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Snip....

Got it sorted out now that Im home from work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Updated with color control. You can use STweaks to modify the colors if you want more than what the preset profiles in Settings provide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Doogiedog:
Thank you! DL now, this will be the first non-stock kernel I've flashed for GN2 :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I flashed the new kernel and when I try STweaks it tells me I have no kernel support. There must be something I don't know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
I'll look into it then. I am using AndreiLux's color control code. I guess there is something that checks the kernel version. I don't use the control's myself as the built in color profiles work fine for me. I'll see what I can do to get color tuning capability for those that want it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That would be awesome. Sometimes the color is a little cool for my taste, especially at low brightness.

The only issue I stumbled across is that the master sequence didnt seem to stick once you exited the app. Meaning the colors changed but going back into the app they showed "unchecked". I dont actually care cause I dont use it, but STweaks opened and did what it was supposed to do for me

Firstly,

Thank's IMNUT'S for your continued work. I believe you used to dev for the Charge, correct? I purchased one the day 4g became active in my area on Craigslist on the cheap and if my memory serves correctly, you and rootz were a key player to my happiness with that device.

Fast forward like 6 phones, and now I've been running this kernel as a stand alone install on BeansRom 13 (Since beans 12) when I got my note a couple of weeks ago.

I feel extremely stupid even asking this question, and I did search the thread- but I'm not seeing anything additional on my device other than your kernel listed in the status screen. And scratch that - Thank you market.google.com :/

Sometimes we get tunnel vision and overlook the most obvious of things.

Kernel is smooth! I guess this is just a big "thanks" thread,

I'm running Tweaked VZW Remix with PB&J and Stweaks starts up just fine. My question is, once I open it, what is it good for? It's all Greek to me.

Basically just changing the colors on your screen. To make a generic less saturated look just check turn on master sequence and apply. It is a bit more true colors. Also very similar to the color modes in display settings on stock software.

Hey guys,

Do the color tweeks help get whites a little more white (would love to get color like the s4 I played with today)? or is it mostly like contrast ratios?

Hi Imnuts! Long time PBJ fan from for the Charge. Just switched to the VZW note II and glad to see you here, too. Boeffla sound on this Kernel sounds good, better than Pegasus. And I am not missing all that other fluff that I don't need or understand. PBJ, FTW! Thanks, man.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blockay:
this kernel is good but would be even better if you added full support for STweaks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Just saying great kernel as always
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
STWeaks is fully customizable. The only other item I could add would be audio controls as there isn't anything besides audio and video that you can change, unless you want to remove CPU clock speeds or swap the governor to run at max clock speed all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blockay:
Correct me if im wrong but I think that it only supports the screen settings. I really like the settings available in perseus. I like the audio tab it helps my headphones bass and overall sound. Also the gpu, memory/internal, cpu, cpu scaling and cpu hotplug tabs are nice to be able to tweak.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
The app is customizable based on configuration files set up by the developer. You can add/remove whatever you want from the app based on an XML config file. There is no point having all of the stuff from Perseus available as it wouldn't work. The reason that screen settings are the only thing available is that is all you can configure outside of sound. If you want to have 500 options that do nothing, I could give that too you, but I'm not going to add stuff to the STweaks config file that the kernel doesn't support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Great kernel but i have noticed with the newest update that the master sequence for color in stweaks turns off after a reboot or when i change the font, wallpaper, icons or anything else that has to dowith the display any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blockay:
. Ive never made a kernel myself so im not exactly sure how its coded. But I wouldnt want you to add settings that do nothing. What I meant though was add it to the kernel and stweaks but if thats too hard or you dont want to do that to your kernel then thats fine. Ive seen and used a lot of your work on these forums and I appreciate it very much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
The other items would require changes to the kernel to be useful, and I don't intend on making those changes. The stock CPU/GPU setup is good for all day-to-day usage, and the stock CPU governor also already does hotplugging to disable un-needed/un-used cores. See this part of the OP specifically:

I can look into adding the audio controls to STweaks then, but you can already make those changes using the Boeffla Sound Control app from the play store. I also wouldn't expect the audio items to come to STweaks any time soon, busy with other items at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blockay:
Okay sounds good I didn't know of any good apps for music controls. And I trust your expertise to have made a good kernel so far and continue with it. But I am very confused with why uving wouldn't increase battery life. I'll do some research I suppose. Well I'll try out that app and see if it works good, if it does I don't see any point in wasting time adding stweaks audio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
I'm not even convinced undervolting did much on single core systems, but on multi-core, I haven't noticed any difference. The power drivers are also pretty intelligent these days and they tend to not draw any more power than they have to, and can scale up/down within a set range by themselves. The other issue is that the CPU and GPU are not the major power draws on the system, and if they are, you have problems. The screen and cell radio are the major power consumption devices, and there isn't that much you can do to change that, or make it any better.
