How may I take your answer ? Can it be my english as it is not my native language ?

FYI I've tried Voodoo on eclair one week after owning my SGS in october.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Anyone else getting the annoying static pops? Its especially noticable when playing long songs with quiet parts.

This was an issue on eclair but was fixed, since froyo all roms and kernels have this problem again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maskarellet:
Supercurio already knows that,so don't rush him, as he's doing this in his spare time, we just have to wait for his next releases.

Thanks a lot,supercurio¡¡¡¡
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suua:
how is the battery life on this kernel ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] denzilmstn:
OK. I'm in the same situation you were. Is it easy to explain how you did this and which is the file know as the kernal. I'm assuming it's the second file in the first post? the *.tar file?

If it makes any difference I'm running CWM and Darky's v8.0 Rom.

Sorry for such a noob question. I'm learning fast and. But following at least 6 different threads etc, I start to get a little confused.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] erahk64:
I'm getting it also, I'm using stock JPY with Voodoo 5.1.

I'm proud to announce that the Voodoo sound Kernel driver source is now available for download!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aj12:
So i re-partitioned my phone today as i haven't done this since Eclair and all POP'S are gone... i listened for 30 mins with not one POP. Normally comes in the first minute of listening then all through the song.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sci-fi-art:
Hello. Can someone explain me how to apply this sound fix for SGS? I tried through odin, but I do not really understand what to do there. I used before odin only for software update. So what need to do step by step to get better sound quality in my SGS?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] albanese777:
this is great news, thanks supercurio!!

but how exactly do we get the driver source installed onto the SGS using the github website?

can we just download it as a .zip and flash with CWM?

thanks

EDIT: now that i've read github more closely im not actually sure what it is... are these files simply the open-source code, or are they updates which we apply to the 5.1 kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
Hey guys,

First things first: Great work SuperCurio! You'll be getting donation soon!

Secondly, Im also getting the annoying static pops every couple of seconds. It is very annoying, and really quite ruins the experience for me. I see that im one of the few getting this problem, so i'm not going to hold it against you at all, but it will hold off my donation...

Do you know (or anyone else) any fixes for this issue??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
Battery life is better than the stock + voodoo 5.03 with this new kernel on jpy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It should be the same ;) no need to search for little more battery life - little less battery life. It's all usage and environment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
For me anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Khoral:
Well, as far as I remember, I don't think I updated the app even one time.

But I may be wrong on that, as I always activate automatic updates, and don't really keep a log of what is updated or not ^^

Anyway, it's not an issue, so I don't really care much :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lancey:
does apps volume set sticks after reboot? or i need to volume up every time i listen to the music like on MixGet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Kudos Supercurio!

I like the patch - clean and simple extension of the base driver.

V1 is working great especially for FM Radio. For the first time I'm enjoying listening to FM Radio on my SGS.

I notice that the headphone level controls the level for all types of media: media, fm radio, etc., is that right?

And also, some users are asking if the Voodoo app saves the headphone level after a reboot?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droidfanns:
hi all, i'm new to this, so pardon me.

after installing this using CWM, do i need to enable any settings to take advantage of voodoo fixes? i just flashed darky 8.0 with no fixes enabled btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hint: The FM Radio app uses a lot of battery if you have RDS on.

Turn off RDS in the FM Radio app > Settings menu.

Disable "Show Station ID" and "Alternative Frequency".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
i really looove this soundfix!

i'm using my galaxy with my beyer dynamic 990 pro and what can i say, its an amazing difference. don't know what you have done but its great. i'm hearing a lot more frequencies now, before it was just a dull experience ... :D

love it and will donate later!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
you don't need to enable anything ...

you can enable the lagfix (if you want) in the darky recovery menu, but you don't need it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nucleic acid:
glad to hear that, too! soon i'm gonna install supercurio's soundfix...and donate for sure! can't wait till i'm goona hear the difference on my creative aurvana live! headphones^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
just download and flash it via CWM ... you don't need odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulzero:
Im also having the weird popping sound every few seconds.

Tested with etymotic hf5.

But thanks for this. Also, what equalizer are you guys using? Ive tried them all but they all sound crappy except for rock. That ones perfect for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woodend:
Hi everyone,

can someone please enlighten me, I have absolutely no clue whatsoever :((

Me, coming from Symbian, I´m entering a whole new world with Android, which is pretty difficult to handle.

To run this app the kernel needs to be flashed. How do you flash a kernel and what does it to your existing firmware (2.2 / I9000XXJPP / Kernel 2.6.32.9 / Froyo.XXJPO).

I updated this with Kies. Believe me I tried googeling the questions, but the more I read, the more confused I get. I guess my questions are annoying for some/most of you, I´m sorry for that! But if someone might want to help me, it would be fantastic.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
Hi supercurio! My dj friends can hardy believe how good my galaxy s sounds... Thank you.

My phone def feels better and had better battery life with this new kernel... I had a similar result comparing snapshot with final 5.01, on 2.2 Strange as you mention those two particular versions were essentially the same. Maybe placebo effect?

Also I discovered that for deleting/modifying .apks directly in system folder, I was unable to change mounting file permissions with root explorer to gain read/write access. When I disabled ext4 conversion on system only from voodoo recovery this issue was resolved. A lot of people trying to replace tw launcher hanger been confused by this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
No popping sounds with speedmod k12l + voodoo sound.

I'm using Sony MDR-E888LPs, really loving the fm radio sound now.

For FM Radio there is no EQ. For Music player I use the Custom EQ with a slight bass boost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Grashoper:
Check out 3 posts up (from your post) .... Look at Post # 527
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
@woodend

Ok you need to be patient and keep reading! It is very easy and quick to get this running but you need to know what is going on.

Go to projectvoodoo.org and read everything.

Download odin and find out exactly how to 'flash' a kernel.

Once you know what this means.download voodoo and flash.

With the voodoo kernel you with automatically get the brilliant lagfix. Find out what this means!

Your voodoo app will work once you have the voodoo kernel and the app.

Loading Voodoo V0.1

Hi guys

please excuse me just very new to this, i have just downloaded Voodoo from Market and see that I require an adittional driver to make it work, can somebody tell me how to install this

Many thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
you just need to install this kernel or any other with this soundfix!

read more @xda how to flash/update your phone ... there are enough tutorials/howto's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan@msx:
Same here. Says im not running a kernal that supports extended sound controls....

Can i use CWM flash over voodoo lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
@bigears

Please spend many hours reading this forum and others before you attempt to flash the voodoo kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CyberT3:
Does anybody knows if this affects bluetooth headphones or just normal ones?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xchasa:
Sorry in advance.

Where is the update.zip found,been searching for half hour or do I just flash 5.1zip on first page on top of darky 8.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tobiasth:
when you are in darkys CWM you only flash Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000-unsigned-update.zip

first check if lagfix is disabled (just to make it save)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xchasa:
Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mormegil:
Tested last night using the original Samsung earphones. Was so excited about how much the sound has improved. Hooked up my etymotic er6i in-ears this morning and the results were not as dramatic. They still sound too bright for my taste. Now back to using the stock earphones until I get better ones. Anyone has good results with in-ears?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bigears1:
Hi thanks for that, you have me worried now, I had hoped this would have been a simple process, my present set up 2.2 Kernel version 2.6.32.9 root@SE-5608#1

I have looked thro the forums but am more confused than ever, can you give simple steps for this or should I leave it to the experts?

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
hey supercurio, thanks a million for this sound fix and all your works for galaxy s, your stuffs are always the best!

the sound fix is amazing, man! everything sounds more dynamic, rich and detailed. And its now loud enough for my beyerdynamic dt-770 pro. i also use ultimate ears super.fi 5 pro as my IEM. The galaxy s now sounds almost comparable with my phase x24 DAC. And thats really impressive for a phone.

Now my main issue is that after 2 days using your voodoo sound, i began listening some quiet songs, some jazz and classic, and noticed some random crackles and pops. It became annoying, that i decided to flash trasigs 69 kernel i had before, and its gone. Then i flashed voodoo sound again, i didnt hear it first. After some more minutes, the crackles are there again, but not so much like before.

This is weird. Hope you'll find a fix. Because i love your voodoo sound so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
Stereo input

I know it's been asked before, but I didn't find an answer.

Is there any possibility of enabling stereo input, either mic or line either now or in the future with this kernel?

If so, I will sell my Zoom and donate some of the proceeds!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] menerio:
I downloaded the apk from the market and installed it, of course it doesn't function right now.

I have 2.2 XXJPO and Recovery Mode 2e.

Can I directly flash this Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar via Odin or do I have to change the firmware to 2.2.1 then flash it ? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] patrikmuse:

Hi there Voodoo guys!

Ive just found this kernel coz i was dissapointed about the FM radio sound on my galaxy as, although mp3 was great...

Flashd with CW the zip, and the FM sound is "oh my god" :)

thank you!

but there is a but:)

The wifi broke since the new kernel.

is it any way to remove it, or do you plan to solve wifi issue?

if it helps, my phone is:

PDA: I900XXJPY PHONE: I9000XXJPY CSC: I9000OXAJPX + Darky V8.0
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Thanks. I take it, then, that this will also install the Voodoo lagfix, right? Which means that it will convert all my partitions to Ext4, is that so?

Edit: here's a wrinkle: JL2 is not 2.2.1, but 2.2. Does that still mean that I can install Voodoo-stable-5.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks ! I'm very glad you like its design, as i wrote it specifically thinking about other kernel developers and porting to other devices :)

That's right, the headphone level control act on everything outputting to the 3.5mm jack.

And of course, headphone level restoration is a feature planned but I'll implementing it without risking damaging people hears, because if you play some sound at the max level you set for line-out directly with sensitive in-ear, you will suffer a lot.

PS: stop publishing so much many, your users will reboot less often :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yeah it's also spamming logcat like crazy ^^.

Thanks for the tip !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I don't experience pops either. It's a firmware-related issue that is left to be fixed by Samsung I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vzoltan:
everything is fine! wifi and fm audio too!

STRANGE, but WIFI problem SOLVED

in the wifi settings i tapped on my wifi network SSID and it asked for the wifi password... it seems after flashing the kernel it just forgott it, and now wifi is OK again even with bass boosted fm radio:) thanks VOODOO team!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Parametric Equalizer (with the upcoming audio jitter resolution) will be the definite answer for a lot of headphones too bight / too dark / lacking in mediums etc etc ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I agree, as a user and fan of the commercial SoundHound version, it performs much worse than it did on my iPhone 3Gs

But it won't stay like that, quite the opposite actually ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
So guys im just gonna try the repartition option to fix the annoying static pops now and see if that helps.

I just have one problem, I use darky's ROM which is only installable via Clockworkmod, and for as far as im aware that does not have a repartition option.

I do have all the downloads that I need to flash stock JPY/JPU, so should I flash those via odin (with repartition) and then flash Darky's rom overtop of that?

Does flashing like this via Odin (with all files, also pit, and repartition) remove everything from the phone like clockmodwork?

I'm very comfortable flashing different things to my phone, I just want to know what to expect, and since I've got clockmodwork I haven't used ODIN to flash my phone.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It won't make any difference at all;)

However, I would recommend you try an official Samsung ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
Trust me, the pops are there even on stock ROM and kernel. Owners with high impendance headphones will hear the pops when the volume is near max. My trick to reduce the pops? Turn off the wi-fi. It works for me. I noticed these pops and crackles when I took my phone out for headphone auditioning, a month ago.

supercurio, are the gain settings saved even after reboot?

Btw, just a suggestion, the app could be even better with a restore to default option for the gain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you for your report about this poping issue.

The more I read about, the more I believe it's more like an hardware issue on some boards. Each device is different.

I tested 3 Galaxy S with RMAA and all tree had different measurement results (1 or 2 dB of difference in SNR)

I'm still interested by a recording of these sound artifacts ;) However, new reports like "pop for me, or don't pop for me" are not useful, Thanks !

And yes I will add better options and UI to the app;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
Guess to help I could make a sound recording of it.... but how??

I'll figure it out!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] changkkm:
Just download the first file. N install it like how u install darkys rom via cwm. Choose opt install zip frm sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Plug the jack output of your phone in a sound card line-in, and voilà :)

PS: highest sample rate and bit depth supported by the sound card will be welcome to give a greater precision in the analysis.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sturmeh:
Alternative for headset controls (which already suck!) for example a way to skip songs with the volume keys? That would make it somewhat feasible to listen to music with proper earphones! :D

And those maybe already mentioned:

- Kill the battery full/charging notifications.

- Kill the increasing ringer volume.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
I'm sorry if that's already posted:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkflyer1983:
I second that!

jUST LIKE what hYPERX did with the i8910 MICROPHONE. He added settings to adapt mic sensitivity to the environment (noisy, and so on..)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chuckbass:
This is addressed in Froyo, I believe--it provides new API calls to change audio focus (keep priority in background, etc.). So this should soon be a problem of the past.

(Oh, and someone above mentioned streaming--this is also addressed by the Froyo API, which supports progressive streaming over HTTP.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
You'll be happy to hear that a Wolfson employee finally answered after Mark Brown told him about Voodoo sound:)

Mark Brown is the official WM8994 Linux driver developer, Galaxy S use a Samsung specific one.

The employee who contacted me talks French, found this project "very interesting" and we planned a phone meeting Tuesday ! (in 4 days)

It's too late for the WM8994 datasheet, as I found every infos needed using similar products datasheet, WISCE software and reverse-engineering.

But! hopefully this will lead to a more creative collaboration than just sending a PDF under NDA :)

Req : crossmixxing feature - full adjustable

seen on ipod running rockbox linux os - where crossover between channels meant that it bled some sound froom the left to the right and vice versa - this is to simulate speakers in open air and gives a nice sound stage as well...

asking because i have an old ipod and have rockbox on it and love that sound feature :)

please concider - bounty payment of $25-30 euros or more depending on percieved difficulty (but from memory there is a digital feedback filter or something with feedback in it on the diagram on the site - maybe that will make this feature easy?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
just to make it clear,

plans for voodoo sound does include a fix for the mic volume levels while recording issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webcrtor:
+10euro for a decent sound recording fix during concerts, especially some kind of bass filter because that is mostly the cause of the distorted sound.

Btw I read people talking about you need 2 mics for decent sound, well to those guys, get yourself a nokia N82 device which only has 1 mic and is almost 5 years old and records extremely well at concerts compared to this device. So with this new hardware there must be some kind of solution.. I can't beleive technology is going backwards instead of forward...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
I believe this should already be possible by editing the s3c-keypad.kl file in system/usr/keylayout. Its quite simple to edit. Well, I'm not 100% sure if the stock sgs music player works with the forward/back media commands but its worth a shot...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkflyer1983:

yep people tend to mix up these issues.

i don't ask for better noise cancellation. i ask for a simple volume management. just like in every voip application you have on pc where you can control the volume of recording device. but instead of doing it manually the camera should auto manage it.

I sometimes hear a garbled voice (while receiving calls) and thats usually associated with a low 3G signal. Never happened for me on only GSM ie 2G mode - maybe because the signal is always strong for me on 2G :)

This is what confuses me. Using JH2 on the i9000M, I have not had ANYONE tell me my sound is distorted or ask me to speak clearly. In fact, after reading comments like the above, I've tried it myself to see if my mic causes distortion. I hear myself loud and clear over the phone.

Sorry I should have clarified.

I'll probably end up soldering a new wire together like I always do :p
