As I already said a couple of posts above:

"Yeah well that depends on firmware...some firmwares have different levels for speaker. Some have 100%, so no boost is possible...nothing I can do about it!"

So once again IT DEPENDS ON FIRMWARE! With some is possible to boost the volume, with some it's already at its maximum settings! ;)

I bought this application yesterday, bravo! fantastic!..i have firmware JG5 which was by default on 54...the only problem i faced is that (ms 500), i see some lag on my songs list into mp3 player...but no lag everywere else...i tried to raise value of ms but i didnt see any improvement..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] s1xpack:
Hello! Today, the program is installed, but when you start to download automatically the components will stop 80%! 5 I tried but nothing change! Someone help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Audioboost version? Firmware version? Galaxy S variant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Can it go beyond the maximum volume without massive distortion? ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Iminzilion:
Will there be support for 2.2? Because after the android 2.2 Update i only get : signature failed when trying to flash the flash file.

Im missing the good sound output
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Yeah well 2.2 is already supported (I released an update just today). Thing is, due to samsung ****ty changes, you cannot flash the update.zip directly on froyo. You have to flash old kernel, flash update, flash new kernel or just use a recovery 2e if you really have to go the "unrooted" way.

...Just do yourself a favor and use either Tayutama or DocRambone's rom for jpm...they're just pure awesome and they solve *LOTS* of issues...you won't ever regret it! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Iminzilion:
Oooh. Thanks.

Gonna check the roms tonight.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jmaxyyz:
Sorry if already been asked before but I have not found the answer.

My Galaxy has version 2.2 Froyo JP6 and installing AudioBoost has compromised the performance of LagFix.

When I install the AudioBoost Quadrant scores can fall 600 points!

I've tried reducing the refresh time to 200 ms, 100 ms and the problem of falling performance of the Galaxy continues.

Any tips to solve the problem?

Ps: the version of AudioBoost I have installed is the latest announced as compatible with the Froyo.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Lol!

1. Audioboost can NOT compromise performance of lagfix just for the fact of being installed! If you close it (menu - quit - quit), it won't be running, so no impact on performances!

2. You have to actually *INCREASE* those values...try 1000,2000,5000...

I'm running tayutama xxjpm rom with OCLF at the moment and see no issue at all! I never tried running quadrant with apps running in background lol! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jmaxyyz:
Ok

But even running in the background AudioBoost realize that the graphics performance of the Galaxy is smaller, it is visible.

And when I close it in the quit-quit, as you mentioned, the application does not close, the galaxy vibrates several times and the closing has to be forced.

Clearly something is wrong.

At least here in my setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
However I just tried that out of pure curiosity...

- quadrant 1940 without audioboost running

- quadrant 1400 with audioboost 500ms refresh

- quadrant 1890 with refresh 3000ms

...imho NOT BAD considering the *use cases* for such application, which shouldn't be leaving it running while playing a 3d game I guess... ;)

Just find a refresh value you're comfortable with and close it when you feel you need that extra responsiveness, that's my advice ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
That (needing force close) has never happened to me in all the various setup combination I've ever tried...can you provide a logcat of the exception it causes this? Do you know how to do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jmaxyyz:
Thank you.

I changed the values quoted by you and the problem was solved!

Quadrant = 1871.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
You're welcome! ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rafalense:
Hi 'carlocb',

I'm back again. I'm only interested on mic level. I tested your previous versions (last I have is 1.3), and mic volume settings didn't work properly. When I start recording mic gain is going up and down with nonsense. Is that fixed on your last version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Ok, you should use audioboost 2.3 as it's the only one working with jpm! ;)

Does this app tweaks the earpiece volume so I can hear the other caller louder? or its only for speaker music ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
No, no earpiece! Headphones, rear speaker and mic, that's it! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] anonymusneo:

No sorry...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] supercurio:
Hello carlocb, here is what we talked about some times ago!

Now that my skills level is higher, this is now possible :)

You may take a look at the latest commits on http://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_gt-i9000/commits/froyo-voodoo ;)

In kernels based on this source, sample commands with the new kernels using this patchs :

Sets the volume to 55 (min: 0, max 62)

echo 55 > /sys/class/voodoo_sound/headphone_amplifier/gain

Sets the left volume to 46 and the right volume to 30

echo 46 30 > /sys/class/voodoo_sound/headphone_amplifier/gain_lr

And of course it's for good. The settings are kept in memory.

Reboot reset them to the default kernel values.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
That is great supercurio! :D AudioBoost for Voodoo will arrive soon! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aleks07:
Hi supercurio,

Great news. Can you tell which 2.2 ROMs have this kernel pre-installed or if it is possible to update any ROM with this kernel?

Thanks

flash problems with galaxy s

Carlo, just purchased your app for an unrooted Galaxy S I9000 in Australia. Downloaded the zip file as instructed, did the 3-button recovery mode, selected the "apply sdcard:update.zip", but all I get on the screen is a white triangle with a gold exclamation mark (!) in it, and the green android man below. Same when I try to reboot - it won't let me do anything. HELP!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
O_o

Are you sure you are in *Recovery* mode and not in *Download* mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] The.Opethian:
It doesn't say anywhere (might have missed it through the pages) but it'd be nice to know if this works with FroYo 2.2, update the first post perhaps? Thanks in advance and keep up the excellent work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tomtep:
sorry for nope question:

Where is the app? I don't see the link in this topic also in the market:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Of course it works! Now first post has been upgraded, sorry! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Just open the market app on your device and search for "audioboost", "audio boost", "audio booster", "carlo cuoghi", etc.

You'll find it if your market app is working...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tomtep:
I tried all keywords but don't have on market. Could you please attach or send to me;)

Don't know, sorry! if it's rooted you can try...you can always get a refund within 24 hours...then post back the answer for other to know too...

Also if it doesn't work and you know how to post an adb logcat I can look if it's possible to make it work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aegeuss:
Hi Carlocb,

Thanks for this great app, I have bought and using it, it's great. However I this important problem, I also have a bluetooth set and the volume level on it is too low. Any news on developing a code on this? It will be superb.

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
I'm waiting the new voodoo release with audio tweaks by supercurio for further development! Stay tuned! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
No more feedback about this...did someone try it???
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] logicalgod:
Hi there, appologies if this has been covered.

When running audioboost the refresh keeps running even with it disabled. The problem with this is that it keeps the cpu at around 800Mhz, if I disable the refresh it drops to the 200Mhz range. It also seemed to prevent sleep which ate my battery in about 6h. If you have time please can you link disable with the refresh or make a very simple widget that does the job of refresh. Thank you for the great app.

Sgs i9000

Stock 2.2 (jpo)

Latest audioboost fresh install from market.

Edit:

Seems that disableing the refresh had no effect till the service was restarted. On the plus side I can exit the app and still have +volume which works. Btw refresh set to 5000
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Hi Carlocb,

I bought your app a few days ago and it's totally awesome.

I was using Docs JPO 7.6.2 ROM. For some reason, I re-flashed my device, wiping the memory to factory default (due to some lagfix corruption).

Anyways, now with my new installation, your app doesn't work at all. I tried the update.zip method, but the alsa settings page keeps coming in front. When I try the normal install, the alsa settings does not come up, BUT there us no change in audio levels.

I've tried restarting the app and service, and even re-installing it, but no luck.

I'm using Zenkinz's Ya-OK kernel.. which I don't think should matter as I've used your app sucessfully before on this.

Pls help. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] voxdub:
Works great in terms of increasing the headphone volume on my SGS. Unfortunately it wipes my battery in a matter of just a few hours and the lag it creates is unbearable, youtube is unwatchable when audioboost is running.

Checked on quadrant, even with refresh set at 5000 it drops my quadrant score from 1800 to 1400.

Will keep an eye on the app, if these get fixed will happily pay for it to watch quiet movies in noisy places.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Ok.. apprantly myfile system was corrupted or such...

The alsa files were not going into the system as it was displaying 0KB free.

I had to re-format everything and this time I installed the alsa first before doing anything else!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lucbl1:
I'm on rooted JPO 2.2 firmware, and i can only achieve 63 on volume level.....wasn't it suposed to reach 100?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
For headphones, yea I get 63 too and it's pretty darn lound. I set it to 61-62.

For speakers, max is also 63 but there's not much you can amplify. I mean, how much can those puny speakers take?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
I realised that as long as the service is running, it will be continuously refreshing.. You can feel it from quadrant benchmarks during the 3D tests whereby the animation pauses.

Apparently, when I turn off "disable" the boost, I still get this issue as long as the service is running. Should the refreshing discontinue if non of the boosts (headphone/speaker/mic) is turned on?

When I manually terminate the service, I can't turn it back on unless I do a reboot. Isn't there a way to run the service as and when you like it?

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
What are you talking about? You hit menu button - quit - quit...the service is terminated. When you open audioboost again, the service is started again. What's the problem? The way to run it as and when you like it is simply to open and close the app when you like it! :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Are you using any lagfix, kernel, etc.? Because when I did the tests (with sztupy's kernel) after 3000-3500ms the drop in quadrant was almost unnoticeable...

Anyway, thing is, it needs the refresh if you want it to automatically restore your chosen volume when the system changes it (message in, call received, etc.). The refresh functions generates some cpu usage and there's nothing I can do about it. What you can do about it is using higher refresh time, using a good kernel with lagfix, closing the app when you're not using it or not using the refresh function at all. The combination of the first three options works great for me, but each of us is different. I could implement the "manual refresh"...like another statusbar icon to click on to execute the tweak when you want when you're not using the refresh feature.

When the new voodoo kernel will come out, it should make the refresh feature useless anyway, because the chosen volumes will never change. That will also mean zero lag...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Yea, I tried that, for some reason the service wasn't running again. I was meddling with the android "running services". What's shown there doesn't tally with the app running.

Anyways, I tried your method consistently and yea.. I understand the behavior and it works the way you said it. Perfect for peeps like me who listen to MP3 once a while. Thanks man!

Also.. if ya need more feedback.. how abt having a widget that toggles this service? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Yeah, the widget has always been in my plans! As soon as I have more time to work on that, it will be done! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ciex:
Just a question. Why isn't audio boost 2 not working for bluetooth? I can hear a little differently when I'm using cable for listening music, but wirelss, no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Because bluetooth headsets are handled differently from wired ones...there is no alsa mixer for bluetooth volume...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Berryberry:
I've just tried this app, much louder sound but there's a little bit noise and the sound seems to be "colder". However, this is a great app. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wonderboy03:
where can i download the audioboost...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] voxdub:
Not using a modified Kernel, only rooted and running OCLF2. I will try a few different settings on it and see if I can get running better on my setup. Sadly my SGS doesn't have the 3 button recovery/download mode so I don't want to fiddle too much with kernels, roms and such but probably will one day soon.

Thanks for the reply, is great that you are on here trying to help everyone and looking at improving your app!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Yeah the earpiece speakers, when you go into the test mode for the front speakers the volume is insanely loud but during calls its like significantly lower.. any possibility to make a 9~12db volume boost on the ear piece?

audio boost for Galaxy S

Hi team, my paid version of Audio Boost was wiped out by the nice folks at Vodafone when upgrading my software. So two questions:

1. Can I re-download my original paid-for copy, and if so, how?

2. The available versions seem to have moved on from S to SII. Will either still work OK with S?

FYI, running firmware version 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVP

Hi Carlocb,

I have been following the Supercurio fix for a while now, but have stopped because they have not found something that "sticks" after a reboot... or at least that is what I can gather.

Also I think there are two issues, 1/ unwanted equalisation with headphones plugged in 2/ output level.

I am confused as your software addresses output level, but I dont think it will kill the unwanted effects of the equaliser? Is that right?

Thanks,
