sure thing:

Nexus S 4G 2.3.4, Baseband version D720SPRKD8.

Running 2.6.35.13-netarchy-nexus-1.3.4-cfs-2.3.4+ / natas@64-bit-evil #2

Pretty much stock rom: GRJ22_deodexed.

the previous test i did was just calling another cell phone. with Hi-fi record oversampling ON, person could barely hear me. with it OFF, person heard me just fine.

ran some tests:

to another mobile, again, leaving voicemail:

1. with record oversampling ON: can't hear almost anything. mumbles.

2. with OFF: hear everything just fine.

for kicks, did the same thing with my landline, had the same results.

i had tried messing with the Recording Presets, and it made no difference. everything else is on: Anti-jitter, Hi-fi play, DAC direct. Have the recording preset to Balanced.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Okay, I'll demand a lot but could you please try with a stock Google kernel?

Netarchy's is nice but also really heavily patched so it's kind of hard to trace issues in it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Emilius:
That's to bad couse player like PowerAMP can do bout in the same time, bluetooth and headphones.

Anyhow, Voodoo sound improvements are great but in my case I will not get that. I like my phone in the pocket most of the time and I hate the wires :p)
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Hehe yeah but wires can make a big difference even these days ;) It's all about hardware abilities and also compression codec which is weak in current BT implementation.
[Nexus S Android Development] peabody42:
sure, i'd be willing to give it a try, but you'll have to give me some pointers.

if i install stock google kernel, can i keep my current ROM? would hate to flash and reinstall/move all apps into place.

if i install stock google kernel, where do i get voodoo sound? and how to i ensure it's the same version (kernel 9?)
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes you can keep the same ROM, though it will be easier to flash the official ROM at the same time in order to get the wifi driver associated at the same time and get a controled test envionment.

Please send me a mail and I'll send you Voodoo Control Plus so you'll get the reference Voodoo sound implementation for your tests ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] ykphuah:
The new bass boost sounds amazing, better than any of the equalizers that uses the 2.3 apis. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] peabody42:
sent my e-mail address, check your private messages.

won't be able to get to it til the weekend.
[Nexus S Android Development] barmanham:
Please make incall speaker louder thx
[Nexus S Android Development] PeterDLai:
I have this, but I was sort of expecting it because the earphones I use are very sensitive (Westone UM3X). The hiss level I believe was more evident before Voodoo sound for me, so any improvement is nice.

I'm not sure if any software will be able to eliminate hissing completely when using sensitive in-ear monitors.
[Nexus S Android Development] phillevy:
I've just updated the plus app and it force closes - anyone else got this?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, sorry I missed a check: update again :)
[Nexus S Android Development] phillevy:
Thanks for that - BTW I'm just waiting for a set of these to arrive http://www.hearingprotection.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=124&Itemid=223 Can't wait to hear my Voodoo FLAC's through them!:)
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
If you searched you might have found out that people have asked the same question a few thousand times.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Also, how do you think the Nexus S is sound wise, compared to the iPhone 4?

With Voodoo sound of course.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
My opinion is that Nexus S with Voodoo sound performs much better than iPhone 4, especially with demanding headphones (full size power hungry or very sensitive in-ear, not necessary high-end)

Also, the bass boost feature totally destroys what Apple provides :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
I don't see a bass boost feature in Voodoo Control. Do I have to use DSPManager in combination with Voodoo Control?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Today the bass boost feature (using hardware EQ and advanced dynamic range management) I only available in Voodoo Control Plus.
[Nexus S Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
And worth every nickel.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Just bought the app, it's the least I could do.

also, the bass settings are awesome :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ykphuah:
It sounds a lot better than any of the equalizer bass boost out there.
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
I have Plus, but I don't see the option. I haven't updated it recently, though. Is it only in the latest version?
[Nexus S Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Why don't you just update it and find out....
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
No data or wifi. I only get to update when I find some public area with wifi, which isn't often here in Canada..
[Nexus S Android Development] ykphuah:
The update was around 2 weeks ago I think.
[Nexus S Android Development] xceleration:
you mean every starbucks on every corner of the street that has free wifi inside right.
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
I have 2.0.2, which was updated a few weeks ago wasn't it? My boyfriend has 2.0.3 and there's literally like no changes in the menus. I don't even see a bass boosting button. Just the typical headphone amplifier, volume limit, map volume keys hack, mono downmix, tune speaker, recording preset, anti-jitter, hi-fi play, hi-fi record, DAC direct, and the samoled controls.

I work in a pretty ghetto area where I don't have that kind of luxury. So please, keep your snide comments to yourself.
[Nexus S Android Development] ykphuah:
Mine is 2.0.3, is under signal processing and effects.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

I guess ou are using an old driver version, probably v8. If the kernel you are running is supported which is likely I suggest you to go to menu/kernel module options and load v9 here :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
I'm using 2.6.35.13 netarchy 1.3.0.12 cfs for 2.3.3 on CM7. Does that support V9? (The Kernel Module settings says I have v8)

Edit: Just updated the kernal to 1.3.4 and now I get the bass boost option! Yay! :D Dubstep eargasm, commence!
[Nexus S Android Development] temp91:
voodoo control says

"kenerel version not supported

i am using voodoo control plus 2.0 beta4-WM8994

any help?? the sound on my device suks...
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I'm building a cmoy headphone amplifier that uses a Texas Instruments OPA2227 opamp and will be hooked up to some nice headphones. Can I use voodoo to bypass the Nexus S amp to get a clean line out from the phone?
[Nexus S Android Development] nexusphone:
@supercurio

Could you fix the green flicker on ICS?
[Nexus S Android Development] d_phekt:
Flash CM9 v2.1 from KalimochoAz. All flicker is gone. So far is the only rom that I know of with the fix.
[Nexus S Android Development] giovet:
Yes that's right, I agree with you. Is the only rom without flicker, and I have tried many roms..
[Nexus S Android Development] dictionary:
The flicker is kernel related, and due to voodoo colors. Flash any kernel without voodoo colors and you're fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
When I flashed v2.1 the screen off flicker was gone, but screen on flicker was still present.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] giovet:
With CM9 v.2.1 by KalimochoAZ I have flashed Matr1x v15,Air Kernel 3.0,GLaDoS 2.8.I think all of them have voodoo,but no flicker!!

Also,the same kernels I have tried with other roms and I had flicker..So I think is a matter of rom. Thank you!!
[Nexus S Android Development] d_phekt:
Agreed... its definitely something implemented within the rom. I've flashed a few kernels and have had no flicker what so ever, off or on.
[Nexus S Android Development] nexus_junkie:
What are you doing now, supercurio? On ICS, voodoo color causing green flicker
[Nexus S Android Development] nexusphone:
Indeed, 100% fixed on CM9!!
[Nexus S Android Development] nexus_junkie:
not 100% fixed :(
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
PixelRom has no green qualities other than battery life. As soon voodoo control has root access my rgb settings take effect.

Great. Latest incarnation of Voodoo Control Plus now called Voodoo Sound leaves litter behind. The licensing app made necessary due to everyone screwing super curio by pirating his work is a ****ing pain in the arse.

This now shows how the paying user gets screwed as a result of piracy.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
What do you mean?

I designed all this very carefully to avoid what's your describing, so I have really no idea what screwed you're talking about.

If you have an issue with the updated app, feel free to contact me directly within the app, there's a dedicated button and email template for that.

However, complaining without any element in forums is not helping anyone.

All is cool. I am just highlighting the measures you have to take to protect your work. Of which - keep up the good work.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
I disagree, all is not cool!

Or maybe I misunderstood what you meant.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
I have quite a nasty green tinge which appears during the end of boot sequence and doesn't go away until voodoo sound plus has gained root permissions and changed the rgb and gamma values.

This happens on all kernels with voodoo colour in them and I'm on voodoo sound plus 3.1.1.

When I say green tinge we are talking like full green overlay.

Any pointers appreciated. For the time being I am using air kernel with blue colours which eradicates the problem , but is not a solution.
[Nexus S Android Development] FL0OD:
Only workaround is to turn off your auto brightness

†††
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
However it suddenly un-nervingly appeared which I cannot work out. Some default values have been hardwritten almost.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Deactivate Auto Brightness

Change manual brightness to lower level, say 20% on slider

Reactivate Auto Brightness

Re-wrote bootloader via fastboot

Not sure whether the bootloader re-write was necessary however I'm back to where I want to be (2nd thought - looks to be needed as B/Loader could have been oddly at fault ????)

As I say we weren't really talking of a Green Tinge, more of a green screen.

Note that I have now tested a few kernels with voodoo color for the problem to be proven solved.

Back to work ...............
[Nexus S Android Development] saxena.siddhu:
i heard there is some voodoo color pls tell me what it is..

i have stock nexus s 19023 4.0.3 rooted and matrix 17.5 cfs.. pls tell me that i can improve colors and if yes then how.. thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
Voodoo color only works for Nexus S that has Super Amoled Display. And your i9023 has sLCD so it doesn't work.
[Nexus S Android Development] WiseManWhite:
Any tips on what to do if the colors never really turn "dark" until I pull down the notification drawer almost all the way down (even after they're adjusted in the settings?) As soon as the notification drawer is swiped back up 1/4 of the way, the colors get light again. Auto brightness is off.
[Nexus S Android Development] an2ane:
Voodoo color don't work I flashed it and said "installation aborted"
[Nexus S Android Development] zhille:
hope the color patch works on 9023.. and make it looks like amoled.. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
You need to be rooted and have a kernel that supports it.
[Nexus S Android Development] cassiopeian.one:

Supercurio is the super hero!

It is due to him to say so.

Thanks to him, my old Nexus S is forever.

Holy Crap! This is simply *awesome*!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] dsellers2:
THANKS Super, I'd click the thanks button off they had it on the xda android app. Super work! Ive heard the work you've done is phenomenal.
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the voodoo control app requires a custom kernel... which hasn't been released for the Nexus S yet. So the voodoo control app does nothing on the Nexus S until we get the kernel. Unless I missed the kernel somewhere...?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Netarchy released a kernel including Voodoo sound patches :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936219
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
Why no thanks button on tapatalk? I will be trying out that kernel later today. I've read in that thread that the sound will blow you away! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] adamsweeting:
Nice work supercurio!

Off Topic - I am well jealous you live in Chambery! So close to the ski resorts... mmmm
[Nexus S Android Development] DarkSi08:
Thanks! The sound on my captivate from voodoo sound is beyond compare. I'm anxious to see the Nexus S hit AT&T now, knowing I can keep that awesome sound! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Kubernetes:
Supercurio--

I know you've got a lot on your plate, but could you look into a channel crossfeed for headphones feature? It would help with extreme stereo separation like in Beatles and other earlier rock.
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
morfic released a trinity uv kernel with this included also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11043819&postcount=1094 listening to the headphones on the nexus s jusy improved 10x! thank you @supercurio :D
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Sorry for the redundant posts, but holy crap this is probably the best mod I've ever had on any phone (and my old Imate Jam could print money). I had no idea Galaxy S owners had such a sweet hook up all along. Thank you for this.

EDIT: Your work has inspired me to buy new headphones. Should be here tomorrow: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UFO2GU/ref=oss_product

These ones look pretty good too if you don't need a mic and music controls: http://www.amazon.com/Rugged-Earbud...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296692660&sr=1-2

[Nexus S Android Development] Kubernetes:
Yeah, anyone who listens to a lot of music should check out a kernel with Supercurio's tweaks. The DAC and op-amp in the SGS and NS are really outstanding for a phone--beats the snot out any iPod I've used. Now, if only it could do a digital output I'd be set...
[Nexus S Android Development] carlost24:
I'm sorry for the noob question but how do get this on my phone?

Does it improve the voice calls especially trying to hear the other person?
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
You can get it by installing the Netarchy kernel on your stock rom or flashing any of the other custom Roms and flashing either of the kernels in this development section which both have the sound drivers built in.

It does not yet support boosting voice in calls. As of now it is supports music and video playback.
[Nexus S Android Development] carlost24:
Do I have to be rooted for this to work?
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Yes, you need to install either Netarchy's kernel or Morfic's kernel that includes the voodoo mods, and to do that you must be rooted. This mod alone is a reason to root.
[Nexus S Android Development] LionAR10:
I installed this last night .. I should have compared stock versus my studio reference setup. But after install I did do a back-of-a-napkin comparison of the SNS versus the studio DA .. this was done as an afterthought, so don't take my word as any kind of scientific or even reliable comparison.

I played a 320kb MP3 electronic music track, both through an Alesis amp into Yamaha NS10s via a mixer that allowed me to pan back and forth the two inputs on the same song.

My results? Short version, the SNS sounds nice. For a portable device it's got good reproduction. It loses to the dedicated DA, but not by as big of a margin as one would expect. Things on the SNS are a little bit "mushy" compared to the crisp bass and highs of the DA, but not noisy and seriously mushy compared to other consumer interfaces.

What I did notice was some artificial stereo separation going on. I'm not certain if that's the chipset, or stock mp3 player, or the changes in this patch, but while it sounds "nice" to a generalized listener, it's not an accurate reproduction.

Overall, I'm impressed with what a phone can do. The android community continues to surprise and wow me with what can be done with these devices.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Did you download the voodoo app to optimize your setup?
[Nexus S Android Development] LionAR10:
Yeah. I enabled 128x oversample and the Anti-jitter. I also played with the amp just to see if any significant changes occured. Didn't see anything but gain, a little noisy at the topmost (5db) but that's not a suprise.
[Nexus S Android Development] Moosehunter:
Thanks. This works well on CM7 for SGS.

Could you tell me how you merged this to CM7 kernel fork ?

We sould give coolya a patch so he can include it in future releases :)

EDIT.

downloading both kernel sources atm...i will try to build some SGS CM7 Kernel with voodoosound included...:)
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
you could try morfic's stock trinity kernel.

It has Voodoo sound :)

Could someone please upload the voodoo app version 0.6 not 0.6.1 as the latest gives me problems. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] dingdonghei:
Will the new version also boost in call volume to max? I've had serious issues with in call volume. Even at lowest value it's insanely high when using headphones. The amplifier fixes this, but what will default digital gain be at?

EDIT: NVM, it worked fine, and finally I can adjust in call volume down to an acceptable level. Thanks curio.
[Nexus S Android Development] Moosehunter:
The kernel for SGS CM7 is based off the Nexus S kernel, so it should merge without any problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] Vulpix:
What is the anti-jitter function for?
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
I was just notified that v0.7 is available from the market. Although when trying to install it was unsuccesful.
[Nexus S Android Development] mazodude:
v0.7 is awesome now that (some) settings can be saved

very nice and clean audio

Thanks supercurio
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
so i cant use it without installing one of the two supporting Kernels? im not really into oc my nexus, and it seems to be that netarchy's improved stock kernel got some issues with BT (other then that GREAT job tho)..

so.. any way to implant it in my stock kernel?

thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
You can try to flash morfic's stock kernel.

It's overclockfree (is that a word? o.o) and has voodoo sound.

Works on stock roms.

Here's a link D:

[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
yea i guess i was a little confused, i meant to say that this stock kernel got some issues with BT, and im using BT a lot... nah i guess i'll wait some more.. :P

thank you anyways!
[Nexus S Android Development] j0hnZ:
Hopefully this means your working on a fix for this problem, super stoked...subscribed for this alone.
[Nexus S Android Development] Vulpix:
Um, so what is the jittering option for? Do I need to enable it since it's not enabled by default?
[Nexus S Android Development] sagech:
does Voodoo also improve the video recording sound quality of the nexus S?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
There is being talked about bluetooth issues and fixes on the last pages of morfics trinity kernel.

You can check that out.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kubernetes:
Jitter is like unwanted imperfections in the transmission of digital data. Apparently our phones have hardware anti-jitter capabilities and Supercurio has found how to enable it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
I installed the app, should I enable every option? now I have anti-jitter, high perf.play and high perf.record enabled... what about force analog vol.keys and mono downmix?

thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] Kubernetes:
Mono outputs a mono signal -- good when you're listening to older rock with extreme stereo separation. The force analog volume maxes the digital volume and then lets you control analog volume with the hardware buttons. I don't use it that much because I like to have the digital level around 70-80% for less distortion.
[Nexus S Android Development] shrooms90:
Will the recording presets be ported to ns?

Btw great work. Always loced ur work on the sgs and im really happy u r developping for ns aswell.

Keep up donation will follow:)
[Nexus S Android Development] shrooms90:

[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Anti-jitter is now validated.

It configures the codec properly so clock sources instability don't create artifacts or distortions.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Hey :)

It's already ported but today it create bad pop at initialization, so, I'll need to improve a bit how it's done ;)

Supercurio, you have done a very good work with the HP quality.

You are one of the few that really stand out regarding mods/updates.
