Limited volume on Paranoid rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the Paranoid Rom 2.0 to be exact, and i'm experiencing volume issues. It seems as though, after a certain percentage of volume it doesn't seem to increase further. If anyone could help me that would be great!

Hi!
I am on PA v2.0 has been known to have some bugs. you should flash PAv2.1 which is already out
also, if you would like to share some screenies/goodies.. you can share them to everyone in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822082
hope this helps!
cheers

1. This is a known CM10 bug and there is nothing D4ark can do about it, for now.
2. Why not just upgrade to 2.1, which mount but dramatically fix your problem, but it's a lot better.
3. If you are using Siyah or any extweaks compatible kernel, you can boost your headset volume with it. Or you can just download volume boosting apps in market.

Which ROM/ kernal/ audio tweaks?

Hey guys
am currently running foxhound 1.42 and DSP manager...
am looking to know if anyone else has a better audio combination, i like LOUD volume (through my headphones while at the gym) but i like the music it be as clear as possible...... atm i am getting alot of distortion and the rom just doesn't seem as loud as when it was around 0.8
can anyone recomend a rom/kernal and sound manager combination to try?
thanks
calum
Did you install volume gain mod from aroma installer? With that your phone should be loud like crazy.
I use poweramp which has lots of audio settings. I believe there is a free trial on play store to try out. Or you can just flash siyah kernel where you can adjust audio settings in STweaks.
I am using Siyah kernel and its awesome...... Sound seems to be so much better than stock..... but can't compare to your current setup.......You gotta try it yourself.....
Why the holy stick so many people use word kernal not kernel??
slap siyah over whatever the rom you use and enjoy the sound
ok guys cheers gonna give
DragonICS Rebirth V3.6 a go it comes with SiyahKernel S3 v1.5beta6
is there anything else i should try / use to get louder volume some people have mentioned DSP manager and some power amp anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

You don't need another rom. Siyah kernel works fine with foxhound. What you need to do:
- grab latest foxhound
- go into recovery
- make nandroid
- Flash foxhound
In aroma choose:
- volume loud hack, yes
- Install Siyah kernel
After that you'll find stweaks app in drawer with lots of audio tweaks

[Q] Headset volume low on latest AOKP - Need help

Upgraded to latest AOKP rom. One thing I don't like about the S2 is the low headset volume when plugging in my headset w/mic. I tried accessing the service menu using the #*#*197328640*#*# but I get an MMI error. Is there a way to access the service menu on the latest AOKP rom? More importantly, is there a way to increase the default volume settings for headsets on S2's?
Thank you in advance
Yes. There are apps on the play store that do this.

Depending on the kernel that you use. Voodoo Louder works pretty well, I think it was $1.23, but it checks for compatibility before you actually by the function. It claims CM kernels are compatible when it does the check, I can't speak for all versions of this kernel, but from all the stock kernels with AOKP that I've tried it on in the last two weeks it has had no effect. With siyah kernels, I've had no problems with it. It boosts up to 6db. If you use siyah, extweaks app is free, but it only boosts 3 db, so not a significant gain, however the latest version 4.3 (which works great with latest aokp ROMs) might have some extra boost. I haven't given it a shot because I didn't really need to boost much more since I already have Voodoo louder, but it's worth some experimentation before buying Voodoo. Yes there are MANY apps, and some that are free, but I thought I'd save you the hassle of trial and error and let you know what does work. Other things might work better, so definitely feel free to try others out. Also DSP manager, you'll have to google for link to apk, I don't think it's here in XDA, works with an EQ, but when you jam them all the way up it doesn't sound quite right to me. I did not like it, but it has several EQ setting you might like with whatever sound system you're using, plus custom EQ. Boosting sound is really my sole reason for changing kernels, but with latest siyah and extweaks, there are a CRAP LOAD of other settings to play with. Eventually I'll get around to them. Hope this helps.
Power amp + ex tweaks. Power amp allows for an increase of I think 6 db if I remember right

Played with the recent updates in Siyah kernel (in ex tweaks)... The volume boost is pretty damn beast now. Voodoo Louder is pretty much obselete. The headphone amplifier is indeed 6db now, plus the next slider down is an 'analog' boost that goes up 20db....ridonkulous homie... I'm loving it!

Thanks for the tip to use EX Tweaks. I was actually having the opposite problem, headphone volume too loud. Was having to keep it at just 1 click above totally off. Now I can keep it at the mid-point, with plenty of headroom to adjust when moving to louder/quieter environments.

I was surprised to see this ... Used to run Carbon Roms on a whole bunch of devices.
Very solid right now, I installed this on one of my many TF201's.
Couple of things to report...
1. Bluetooth when turning on and off FC very frequently.
2. When you go to set a carbon wallpaper the preview wallpaper covers the buttons to select.
3. Replaced stock launcher with Nova, running very nicely.
4. Pretty rapid battery drain. I have been used to HB 1.51 & 2.2 and does not drain as quick.
5. OMG so many options/customizations.
6. Is there a issue when you place the tablet into the dock and not have it charging? Ran into that a few times.
Have not tested HDMI and MOGA & PS3 controls with it. Are there any issues with the controls with this rom?
Other than that so far -- SOLID!
Am I the only one who can't get PIE controls working? Could anyone point me to a sort of tutorial or how-to guide for using PIE? I've seen demo videos of what it looks like when working, but I'm wondering what settings to adjust/turn-on to get it working in the first place. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but it just isn't working for me!
Thanks in advance!

Okay, in order:
1. I can't replicate it on my end. Could you describe what exactly is force closing?
2. This isn't a device-specific problem, my SIII has the same issue. I'll look into fixing it later. It works fine in portrait orientation.
3. Nova is a nice launcher, isn't it?
4. Don't know if I can do much about that, apart from trying to tune a few settings.
5. Yeah, but it's nice.
6. I haven't noticed a problem, but let me know if it persists

As far is the Bluetooth -- I would go into Settings --> Turn On/Off. It has only FC on me once today, I wiped the cache/dalvik and has not happened again.
Also, I am on my PC and in the Play Market -- I am trying to install apps from the market place and it's not downloading from the play store on the tablet. I hope I didn't confuse you, lol.

Did you do a data wipe? I just realized a few hours ago that I forgot to put that in the installation instructions. I've already corrected the OP. If it still gives you trouble, post or send me a logcat and I'll see if I can come up with something else.

Persistent issue with all ROMs

Is there a specific reason as to why every ROM I'm on, if I use PIE, or Halo I get ridiculous lag? My notification stutters a great amount, and it seems as if the phone struggles to even change menus in the settings. I can't seem to find any resolution to this problem. I love the Galaxy Note a great amount, but this is making me want to switch to another phone. I've tried almost everything possible, even to the point where I wiped all of my precious data.

I've noticed lag when dealing with Halo, do not use it an only used it to test. Have used PIE before but no lag as you mentioning. If you are running both that could be the reason. Personally I do not use either so disable those and you should notice a difference. If not, re-wipe and re-flash and start over.

what ROM are you running is a good question. if you have a ripple effect on lockscreen, disabling that can help. if not as suggested disabling you Halo and even Pie is a possible start. I would then go to application manager and force stop if process is still running and then clear cache.
see how it runs then. if no lag, you can always restart Pie to try again. if lag comes back, there is your problem. if you have the Halo option, then I have a pretty good idea what kind of ROM you are running. I would think that it is a 4.2 ROM. if that is the case, you most likely have some Kernal options to try.
if it is one of JAIMED81's ROM's, he has a Q&A thread and you could get recommendations there as to which Kernal will work with which ROM.
good luck

an alternate Kernal is still going to be the possible fix or alieviation to your side effects.

what I think I will do, is no longer quote what base a ROM is. maybe its just my terminology that is wrong. all the more reason right?
what I keep seeing in OP's is "all merges from CM10"(for example) now that I am paying a bit more attention, that is for kernel?
go easy on me, I am still trying to learn some of this stuff. I don't mean to give any offense in misquoting the base of a ROM. all respect to you and the others who sacrifice for us. I just try and help whenever I can so the big brains don't have to sweat the small stuff.
this may be the 2nd or maybe 3rd time you have caught me in my terminology blunder.
