Voodoo sound standalone? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched the forums and didn't find what I was looking for. I often listen to music from my phone on my car through an aux jack, but I have to turn the media volume to almost full and turn the car stereo volume to near max to get decent volume, especially on the highway. I've known about voodoo sound for awhile but have yet to try it. I know there are many kernels that gave out built in, but I was wondering if it could be enthralled as a standalone add on. I'm running bionix-v with voodoo enabled if anyone has any suggestion of a kernel that would pair well or if sound can be flashed as a standalone.

He doesnt want a custom kernal he just wants voodoo sound

But don't you need a voodoo compatible kernal for the voodoo sound to work? Atleast that's what the voodoo sound app notified me of...now my sound seems to be much better

Dragon kernel doesn't play well with my phone. Latest one I tried was 3.0 and it still froze up constantly just like previous versions and required a reboot.

try eugene kernel named " Dead Horse ".. this kernel support voodoo sound.

there is no way to get voodoo sound without a custom kernel. period.
If you don't want a custom kernel, check out an app called "galaxy s tuner". the modifications are software based, not kernel based.

just downloaded "galaxy tuner" and it's great!!!! I think I might like it better than voodoo sound...

Whats your custom bootup and shutdown sounds?

Ok, so just used sgs tools to change my bootup and shutdown sounds. Using custom Darth Vader breathing heavy for bootup sound and Darth Vader saying “You Failed Me For The Last Time” for the shutdown sound. Its freaking awesome! So, what are you guys using for custom sounds? Post away!!

I like the old THX sound-effect as a boot-up sound. Had to compress it a little and add some silence to the start but it's pretty close to the right duration.
No shutdown sound, I just want it off when I hit the button -- although I did replace the shutdown graphics with my contact info in case the phone is lost. (Hey, I can always hope it isn't found by some douchebag.)
Just recently flashed to onyx and they changed the power up and power down sounds
The power up is silent
The power down says "Bionix shutdown sequence initiated ... hardware offline"
I like the sounds but im trying to change them to my own.

where so i put the sounds so SGS Tools can see them?
Edit - I guess I just needed to drop it in the SGTools folder.
I personally hate any startup/shutdown sounds. First thing I do is delete the sounds.
@ MV10, can you extend the sound any? Awesome choice. Just seems to and a little too soon. Thanks. Anyone know where else to get custom sounds?? Thanks!

Ok, so first you got to be rooted. After being rooted. Go to the the market and download sgs tools. Which you need to change your sounds. Ok so use the links that I posted earlyer if you want starwars sounds.for bootup sounds use a wav. sound file and for shutdown sounds use a .ogg sound file. After you get the sounds you want. Use ether your PC or a file manager. And move the sounds files to the sgs tools folder that will be on your internal SD card. Once they are on there.use sgs tools and click on change bootup and shutdown sound option. Bootup sound needs to be a wav. file and the shutdown sound a. ogg file. Pick what you want and after that reboot your device and your sounds should now be working! Pretty easy! Any more questions pm me. Peace out!

Against my better judgment I attempted to change.boot up sound. It seems to be true that supercurios voodoo kernels don't support sounds. Kind of a bummer if you ask me! Thanks for help darkside. The force is not with me tonite.....

Why FROYO?

Hey folks. I' ve been sitting on the fence trying to decide about flashing my phone with NeroV3. The question I have is does it make all that difference? Is the phone noticeably faster? What are changes? Any feedback in this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Just the change from the RFS filesystem to EXT4 with voodoo is significantly faster
Just be careful when you flash a overclocked kernel, most vibrants will freeze.
Be sure you know how to disable vodoo and odin back to stock.
The JL5 Leak from Samsung is faster without any other fixes.
I'm coming from stock. The only real thing I have is root with root apps. Ive already removed OCLF. I recently updated the wifes phone with NAND Desire Sense from windows 6.5 on her HD2, other than that I have no experience. Is the move really worth it? What's different? Internet experience? You guys are awesome!

I am using neriv3twe/with voodoo and im very happy with it only downfall I've found is you can't buy apparently off the market....keep getting a "server error occurred" window...but other than that I love it

Correction on my last post Nerov3TWEwith voodoo
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The buy error is not the rom. It has been working perfectly for me, zero issues. Additionally, froyo offers better gps performance over j 16 with its modems and many other performance enhancements. The voice recognition seems to be working better and jit compiling offers a slight increase in performance over eclair.
if it will be your first time flashing you can try without voodoo because custom roms itself will blow you away.

Blow me away? Nice! With voodoo, wouldn't I still want that or is the lag "fixed" with the Nero ROM. Also, does any of this conflict with the media hub?

Yes if you do flash a custom rom you will really notice a big difference in performance speed. Nero Rom have a built in voodoo you just have to enable it.
Does the Nero conflict with media hub? Also, I assume it has flash 2.2.? Is the only difference that Nero provides is speed? What is different for the UI? I could really do without touchwiz. You guys are awesome! Thanks!

Nero V3 installed and running great! Does not conflict with media hub!

If u don't want to do voodoo or one click lag fix, u could always just flash the super io kernal from eugene. Its not as fast at ext2 or voodoo but its a good alternative

Stock JL5 is what I would recommend. If you do not like the touchwiz launcher you can replace it with a barrage of different launchers from the market.

Music Quality - Community Rom V1.3

I'm on the Community Rom V1.3 (flashed v1.2 kernel) and am having problems with my music quality. Any time I run anything while listening to music (via Pandora or my music app) the quality is poor. The music "skips" or has a "staticy".
Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you using the voodoo sound app from the market? If you couple that with the galaxy s tuner app you can do quite a bit for quality & volume. I haven't had anything like what you're getting though but I'm on the otb1.4 kernel.

No, I'm not using the voodoo sound app. However, I don't believe that is what was causing the problem. I believe my problem was related to CWM 3.0... so I flashed back to stock, flashed CWM version 2.5... and flashed the community rom v1.3. I'm waiting for my phone to reboot before checking to see if the problem is still there.

You're not referring to a "popping" sound, are you? If you are, then it's a known issue on Voodoo Kernel Version 8.

It's a similar sound to what you may have experience when downloading a bad Napster file back in the day. Or when listening to a poor vinyl record that is scratched a bit. I'll report back either way once I've restored.
The problem is still there. I'm surprised nobody else is having this issue as I've searched everywhere to no avail.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
As said above it is a voodoo sound v8 problem. It is mostly in regards to touch input we think, so if you sony use your phone while listening it's fine.
Or you can find an older kernel that doesn't implement v8 and enjoy the flawless glory of un glitch-y voodoo sound.

Thank you, Huntredgo. Perhaps you have a good kernel recommendation that I can flash over Community v1.3?
I attempted to flash imnuts' stock kernel (via Odin) over community v1.3 and I received the "permasung" when trying to reboot. Still trying to find a kernel that will solve the issue.

Do this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13644624&postcount=14
If you don't know it -> small latency errors caused higher frequency crackles, larger latency errors caused lower frequency pops.

I also tried older kernels.

Sound loudness between ROMS

OK so I know that the GS2 has the EU sound cap on it. And I know how to get to the service menu but that does t always work in CM10. My question is why is there no set sound level between ROMs? To see what I'm talking about, install Chameleon ROM and listen to audio using headset. Then try a CM ROM and you'll notice a huge loss of loudness.
Thoughts?

CM10 presently has a known volume bug.
You can use extweaks (with Siyah, dream or Dorimanx kernel) to boost three headset volume.
Or
download voodoo louder or similar apps to achieve that.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
I do that but still not as loud as Chameleon ROM. Thanks for the info, Emma do some more digging around to see what happening.

Increasing headphone volume in CM10.1?

On Touch Wiz roms, I was able to edit the default volume output through a system file, but I haven't been able to find anything like that for cm10.1
Does anyone know of a solid way to increase headphone volume for aosp?

Install a kernel that supports voodoo sound and find the voodoo apk with a Google search.
Some people state that voodoo sound is not supported on note2 but it works for me. My sound is great!
