No man I purchased Voodoo sound for my S1 two years ago. I called him a Douche for the way he tried to accuse another great Dev Gokhan Moral who ported Voodoo to the slightly updated chip Wolfson chip in the S3, of inferior work purely because GM used his LEGALLY free Linux kernel voodoo code.

It was ugly to watch man and no amount of previous good will is enough to stop him earning the "Douche" title from me...

That was a year ago... LOL!

Lol! You do you know that only your inferior US S3 version cant be Voodooed, the international version can and was buy m but not by SC... And it sounds EXACTLY like my old S1 voodooed ...

I don't go calling Devs names lightly so for those interested in digging up go for it... Find why he earned the tile from myself and many others and why he never developed Voodoo for the INTERNATIONAL Galaxy S3...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Hi SC,

Long time no see..

I own again a compatible phone (GNote2) with a compatible kernel (SaberKernel), meaning I am using Voodoo sound finally again!

There is however a bug:

After using stock FM radio and turning it off, headset loses sound on all apps (music players, streaming radio, etc.) and a reboot is necessary in order to regain sound

Not getting any answers from SaberKernel developer btw....

Another thing is that within Voodoo sound app, the headphone amplifier slider goes up to -7 dB tops, even if max amp level is set to + 2 dB in Volume limit section...

It's like the slider won't fit the screen or something..

I hope you see this post among all that useless cluttering....

Cheers,

EDIT: I'm posting here since there is no dedicated thread in the Galaxy Note 2 forum, afaik

.

Support for Galaxy Player 3.6

Hello and thanks and my compliments for your work.

In this thread it's said that the Galaxy Player 3.6 also has a WM8994 chip.

But the CPU is OMAP instead of Exynos.

Can be Voodoo Sound patches be added to the Galaxy Player 3.6 model???

thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karthik km:
I have successfully compiled AOKP 7.1.2 ROM

every thing is working except sound

How can fix this issue

Can someone help me with this ?

When tap on play button on music player,

AudioFX is force stop

Finally there is no sound on my device

If any one wants logcat I will be happy to providing it

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
A static fixed lower gain is not what I call "issue resolved" at all.

The mic level have to adjust to the environmental conditions, and that's what my solution will do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
That's great to hear! Waiting eagerly for a public release. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] festr:
this is nice feature!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raphy972:
Yes, THAT is the way this issue can be really resolved!

Looking forward this release! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pspbirte:
Can't wait!! When the Galaxy S has nice music playback and the sound on the video recording is resolved it is, without any doubt, the most awesome phone in the world... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomasitoc:
Hello Supercurio,

I hope this will work for android 2.1, becasue the 2.2 isn't officially release yet here in the US.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Xamid:
Flash any 2.2/2.2.1 via Odin. Lazy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Progress goes well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Ha thats an update ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] faithhh:
GoodLuck supercurio i trust you. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adamwhat:
Good luck man! I'm looking forward to this project!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomasitoc:
Hello Supercurio,

When do you estimate to release the sound fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Wendigogo:
When it would be ready. ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
Lets not rush the man. :rolleyes:

I'd prefer a top notch, well thought out solution to the various SQ problems than some quick "that'll do to please the impatient" fix.

Remember, even though this is a bounty, in his spare time, Supercurio is doing something the sammy developers didn't. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
Will be interesting to see if the sound issues with the SGS are addressed in the Galaxy 50 when it comes out.

Or whether Samsung are waiting for Supercurio to fix them before they release it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pboner:
'supercurio: Voodoo sound Kernel driver version 1 is done. I'm happy with its design and how it works. I'm working on the Android app now.'
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomasitoc:
is it for the android 2.1 or 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
I bet on JPX sources, so 2.2.1

Based on latest twitter updates -> this is real now :D

Cant wait to see this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raphy972:
From Supercurio's twitter account : "Alright, FM bass on/standard is smooth as butter now :) "

The work is in progress! :-D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Go supercurio muh man! Can't wait for the release. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skelta98:
overall sound lag?

Hi Supercurio

First, Thanks for all your great work so far!

I'm not sure if your sound driver will sort this out anyway but I have noticed that apps I've tried that simulate drum kits/pianos etc (and other apps that you should tap and get a sound) all have a lag/delay.

I've flashed loads of different rom's/kernels and lagfixes but it still exists. Is this the apps issue or sound driver or maybe just overall lag?

Examples are

hit it

Xpiano

Tub thumper

Could be bad programing? If so there's a money maker for you to make one that actually responds!

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] larssonen:
Supercurio has uploaded an voodoo sound app but it doesn't work without supported kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IntExCZ:
Ohh, can't wait for it! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elumes:
And here is a market link for the app.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
I hope the kernel will follow shortly, I believe it will :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Supercurio: Yes I'm working on finalizing a Galaxy S GT-I9000 Voodoo kernel bases on JPX sources, that will be the first to support sound ext.

Well done supercurio! Can't wait to see how it actually works. :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] .:Crack:.:
The new Kernel hasnt been released yet!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nCoder:
Oh! :P

If the tool requires a new kernel, I assume it will be part of the package then, right?

Is there a way to "patch" our phone using a specific kernel/ROM (i.e. JPY)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Try the app with Trasig's kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] .:Crack:.:
Using v69.3 - doesn't work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IntExCZ:
Guys, do you really think that Voodoo App will work without the Voodoo Sound driver?

Because I don't think so ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
try the latest v.666
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
No, Supercurio clearly tweeted he's STILL working on THE Voodoo kernel that will be the first to support Voodoo Sound Ext.

It's coming sooner than you think, be patient guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It's real now ! :)

Flash with ClockWorkMod recovery:

Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000-unsigned-update.zip

Flash with Odin:

Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar

I am with Doc's XXJPU / Voodoo

Can I flash this one now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It's a 2.2.1 kernel, for the official Samsung release. I recommend updating to XXJPX/XXJPY.

However, it should work with XXJPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xperseox:
I can flash this kernel on my JP5 rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aegeuss:
Superb

I don't know what to say, the result is incredible.

I am testing the fm app with and without voodoo sound app and the difference is just like day and night! I have also maximized the headphone amplifier and there's no crack or loss of quality on the sound. The bass affect is superb.

It's unbelievable and we're just starting I think. I can not stop but imagine the other developments especially with hardware equalizer.

Thanks again Supercurio for this great development and shame on the Samsung engineers. They sell a product millions of but look what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adrianmak:
One of the feature of voodoo sound, "Headphone amp analog gain", isn't the fix is same as speedmod kernel K12J/K version from Hardcore ?

Besides, which version of kernel or ROM should work with voodoo sound ?

I'm using ZSJPE (HK/TWN official 2.2 Froyo) + SpeedMod K12K kernel from hardcore
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] truden:
Thanks supercurio.

I'll try and if it doesn't work, will move to XXJPY
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Supercurio, I gotta say, FM radio has never been better than this. Just blows my mind! I love it. Am looking forward to the next feature, mic auto-gain. Sweeeeet! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Toss3:
Installing right away(have to go through the whole file system conversion from ext2 to rfs first though). Are you planning on doing a color fix akin to the one you made for 2.1? having perfect colors, perfect sound and perfect performance all in one kernel would be.. well.. perfect! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
The whole point is the ability to control the headphone amplifier by yourself.

Why ?

Because no headphone have the same characteristics :)

For some, you will want to lower a lot the volume, but for other you'll need the opposite.

Also, if you want to plug the phone as line-level source for an amplifier or car stereo, this is extremely useful.

For best results:

- Set the digital volume to the maximum level.

- Set the headphone amplifier level to the adequate for the listening experience you need.

This way, you'll have the lowest distortion and the best signal-to-noise ratio.

PS: Stay tuned, more will come on the topic of Signal to Noise ratio, distortion and high frequency response.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] °Dexter°:
Is the music (not fm radio) playback enhanced over simple volume gain? It seems that sound is "better" overall,but I don't know if it's only placebo effect :D

I still have Samsung earphones,btw

Edit:I've just read curio's reply,it seems it is just a volume matter (that I don't need so badly,max phone volume is more than I want)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
great stuff!

any reason the date on my phone reseted to the 1st of jan after i flashed this kernel? (auto time corrected this immideatly back).

tested with sennheiser hd 555
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aj12:
Im actually scared of my headphones with all that amp :-S

Part Donation sent... will send more when developments are made.

Hopefully you can get the mic gains fixed before the 21st of January as we have a 4 day festival to attend and would love to record so decent vids with good sound :)

I will send a decent donation if you make it!

No rush though :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kara mustafa:
so it gives us more power on minijack output? Creative Aurvana Live,hd 555 sennheiser are said to be too good for sgs because of not enough power on output;d it is not my opinion but it seems to be true. and now, does your driver help with this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samarkande:
I flashed it and it is great. Using Sennheiser HD 25 and the reacheable loudness is insane :eek:

the output is still very clear, if you could stand listening to it :)

great work, keep it up
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dogdayfear:
Fitst things first.

Is really necesary to make an rfs --> ext4 conversion for the sound to work?

After flashing recovery version on JPY, unfortunely, Wifi connection is with poor signal, and lost signal. Short signal cuts.

TapaTalk & Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Only the amplifier level is affected on this version, but it doesn't mean it can have a dramatic effect on perceived sound quality.

First because you can set the volume you want, WM8994 amplifier is an incredible powerful amp for a low-power audio codec!

Its superior design (Class W) allows that.

By using the analog gain instead of reducing the digital signal resolution, you get a better sound and less noise ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] d2theyip:
So this sound fix only for the i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
The app icon on homescreen is also looking sooooo nice !!! Magic people VOODOO people !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yubnub:
WOW - Fantastic work as ever Mr SC.

The whole Vodoo project is awesome.

I think from now on i will buy what ever handset SC owns!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I use Senn HD 650, they have the reputation to be hard to drive and not worth it un-amped.

And I must say it deserves its reputation...

But now for Galaxy S, it's not a problem at all :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
If there are strange things about WIfi / Radio, it's because of a non-standard ROM.

It works perfectly fine with the official Samsung release.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Today: yes.

But I designed the driver to be portable very easily on every WM8994 device (each Galaxy S Eclair/Froyo, Nexus S, Tab)

Source release: tomorrow with tools for developers.

Its a little donation but is just a simbol of my appreciation for the things I've done for this community. I'll talk about this amazing new work in my blog soon and I'll call people to try Voodoo Sound and also donate to this great project.

Thanks Curio!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you Ticiano!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aegeuss:
Supercurio, I have a question for you. Will or does the voodoo sound support improvements for the headset (I mean the front speaker in the phone) and/or the bluetooth headphones?

My biggest complaint for SGS has been the bad voice call quality. It's hard in many times to understand the other person because of the low quality of the voice, it's not clear enough. So I think, the hardware equalizer can be used to get rid of this problem.

Second part of the question is I use Jabra BT620s headphones. It's a quality product for both talking on the phone and listening to music with great battery/charge time. However the biggest problems in bluetooth headphones is the low volume. Such an amplification on bluetooth sets like the wired headphones would be dream of many bluetooth users.

Any ideas on these points?

Regards.

So for your efforts, I have sent you a small gift via paypal, thanks again for this.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ticiano:
I think I'll have to get a 32Gb SD Card and start using FLAC files in my phone. :D

supercurious, this kernel will work only for the international version (i9000) of the Galaxy S? Just a detail to explain in my blog post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Lol, take care ^^

This mod is not endorsed by EU limitations :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It should work on I9000 / I9000M / I9000T, other versions are untested.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I took the approach to be 100% transparent on modification applied.

So you have the guarantee that there is no hidden change, each setting can be chosen manually.

It also means only what you see is implemented today ;)

Yes the hardware equalizer can be used to modify the voice.

Also, some changes can be made to the voice processing on our side, but not all of them, as the Baseband does processing too

Sure, i didn't worked yet on the bluetooth devices, but It's in my TODO list ;)

Thank you for this support. It's very important for me ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ticiano:
supercurio, I think it would be nice for the next version if we could make the settings remain when we reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adrianmak:
does voodoo sound included voodoo lagfix ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ticiano:
yep. its a complete kernel with everything you'd have with a Voodoo kernel plus the Voodoo sound compatibility.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes. You can disable it if you prefer not converting to Ext4.

Also I'm sure you'll have a lot of other kernels with different solutions implementing the Voodoo sound kernel driver in the next days/weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, as an option.

Also, it would be much more efficient to have the volume control:

- Directly accessible by the notification bar.

- As a widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fullerms:
Or use the volume rocker to control sound through your app. Is that possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ticiano:
I think your idea is better. :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It would be possible but also quite confusing I guess,

And it would also require to re-implement the digital volume control in another way, which.. make the result even worse :D

I was thinking to something like Menu + VolUP / VolDOWN
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _-livio-_:
would be nice if we could edit the eq bars in the stock audio player, lowest bass bar is at 125hz and most headphones respond to frequencies way lower, so controlling more than mid-bass would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fullerms:
I felt that would be more logical since we are advised to lock the digital gain to 100% anyway.

Here's an idea. The app lets us choose which gain we want to control (Digital or Analog) and displays the respective levels. The volume rocker controls whichever gain the user has chosen in the app.

Possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
In the current work I did for the EQ, i prepared 62 center frequencies and 10 Q filters for each one, starting to 20 Hz (i will go a bit lower) til 20kHz.

With touch control, this will be a beast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mpierce:
Installed file SGS i9000 via CWM using Darkys v8 rom with Voodo lagfix enabled.

CWM stated install from SDCard complete.

I cannot find the app to use it. Checked Sound, plugin headphones and lauched MIUI - cannot locate VoodooApp setup page as shown in screenshot.

Please advise...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
This could become possible if I link speaker level to the headphone level.

But it breaks another feature: the adaptation to the headphone sensitivity: reason why no fixed gain solution is satisfactory

That's why I want this feature to to become a part of Android itself ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thomas_d_j:
Force audio through bluetooth

Thanks Supercurio, can't wait to try your mod (but will have to wait a day or two as it happens).

Since you are looking into audio, maybe you or another xda'er can help me with an annoyance, namely that I can't play audio through my car bluetooth (VW Golf factory bluetooth). The following may be relevant:

If I unpair the phone/car then search devices, the car shows up with a stereo headset icon

When I connect the first time, the icon changes to the handsfree icon. It works fine in handsfree mode.

The User Manual states that "compatible phones" can play back audio through the bluetooth by going into the music player and selecting "playback through bluetooth" or similar. The SGS seems to have no such option

So I am thinking the car BT supports two bluetooth profiles (handsfree and stereo headset) but defaults to handsfree unless it gets some instruction from the phone to switch modes.

I'm not sure if this is a kernel issue or a Music Player issue but would appreciate anyone's thoughts on possible fix...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
The App name is

Voodoo App

You should find it in market, like any other app ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IntExCZ:
I am a bit confused...I've restarted SGS and Alsa volume settings went back to 55...

Supercurio, please, make it permanent!

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _-livio-_:
eagerly awaiting for it, hope it won't kill the cpu and battery :D

the alsa volume settings could have a setting wether to restore the default volume after restart or at the value before the restart, i for one, like the general default volume and only use the alsa when listening to music then switching it back when not listening.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fylim:
I have mixget and alsa installed. Do I need to uninstall these?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rickylcp:
thanks for your great effort, supercurio! You are always the STAR!!!

Regarding to your masterpiece, I have 2 question,

1. will this improve phone call and bluetooth audio quality too?

2. will my current kernal be replaced after flashing this? (I am using voodoo advanced kernal)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Because of the Samsung's audio driver design, alsa levels are often not relevant.

Instead, I wrote a easier to use interface (that don't require root!)

the app talks to the kernel by writing volume levels to /sys/devices/virtual/misc/voodoo_sound/headphone_amplifier_level

0 to 62. Hardware is capable of 63 but measurements show that quality is reduced, that's why I limited the driver to 62, in order to prevent distortion or potentially damage hardware.

And yes, "Keep Settings" this is an option I plan to add in the future versions ;)
