Can't wait!

I posted this way back. We already knew it was in progression. It all comes down to a matter of when.

Can't wait for his Voodoo color as well

I've never used voodoo but from what I've heard its nothing short of amazing

I use voodoo sound on my sgs. Wouldn't use a rom or phone without it. This entices me a little more to get a GNex.
Thanked you by mistake, your welcome.

Same here, once I had voodoo sound and color, there was no going back to anything without it. Can't wait for this.

Absolutely fantastic

Forgive me for not researching but what exactly does voodoo put on the table? The ti sound chip has awesome stereo as is.

Seems good but tbh I'm not bothered by the sound as I don't play games/watch movies/listen to music on my Nexus

The general sound improvement on the SGS1 with voodoo-sound compared to stock was night and day. Seriously.
So good in fact that coming to the Galaxy Nexus was a bit of a bummer. It's not as good as the SGS1 with Voodoo sound.
The SGS1 went from beeing averagely OKish to ZOMG IS THIS IMPROVEMENT SOFTWARE ALONE? It completely revived my Shure earbuds and my entire MP3 library.
If Francis can do anything remotely close to that on my Galaxy Nexus, there is absolutely nothing on this phone I will be complaining about.

Hi everyone!
I'm flattered so much interest in Voodoo sound but I must say this thread title is at best misleading.

Lol. Atm, and the big picture is don't have time to look at the details. I wasn't looking for an answer like josteink gave. I am looking for a short precise answer like it it custom equalizer, supercurio enhanced, something like audio enhanced or does it correct some flaws in the chip or fill in the gaps. I see too many posts about how good it is rather than why it's good. That's all. Haven't been on xda much lately. Breaking in new equipment and getting more. Video and audio equipment actually. Miss plasma. And great stereo. I am seriously considering getting a turntable because even with vinyl's flaws there is a lot to be enjoyed with it and I miss that.

Are you claiming second hand news on the internet is somehow overstated, inaccurate or sensational?
Seriously though. Just knowing that you are spending any time at all on the issue fills me with hope that I will get even more out of this device some day

Haha, yeah it's fine. I was just letting you know there was a typo.
As for your question, you might want to look into some ROM, I believe some have it included (probably mostly Gingerbread ROMs).
If you don't want to flash any custom ROMs, I'm sure there's something but I'm just not aware, since I don't use any of that lol. Sorry.

well i came from the epic 4g and in order to use voodoo plus you had to have a compatable kernel, and there were many custom kernels that could be flashed to any custom rom. Right now im running codename android ics. from what i saw in the development forum there are no custom kernels, and no voodoo for ics. I will have to read around on some gb threads to check for voodoo

Gunslinger kernel EL29 has louder app compatibility baked in. It's a paid app though. I don't know if the dev for the app has all the snafus ironed out yet.
Have you tried a boostaroo amp?

Yes but the louder app just makes it louder, no sound improvement, and no I have not,I haven't tried any pocket amp.I kinda want someone to give me a good recommendation of one before I buy one.

The ROM I'm using has DSPManager 1.0 included, it's not in the Play Store (Market) though.
You can Google it though, although I think it's just an equalizer or something? Not sure if that's of any help.

i actaully know about dspmanager from my time witht he epic 4g, on that device it couldnt really compare with the combination of volume+ and voodoo i had set up. but at this point im willing to try anything
for cars.. ( pre-amp into aux) you can build opa! amp.
fiio pocket amps are popular if you want buy and go option.
I was looking into voodoo sound also, but i think Epic touch uses diffrent sound chip than voodoo sound project.
I have no idea if you can find it but I have a Meier Corda Headsix Amp and it is a fantastic portable amp and a reasonable price 150ish new if i remember. I recommend it.
I looked up the amp you suggested it's not the type of amp that fits in my pocket (if I found the right one) the type of amp I'm looking for us like this one here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QVPGXK/ref=mp_s_a_9?qid=1334102729&sr=8-9
It gets good reviews on Amazon so I guess I'll take a chance n order it in a week or so. thanks anyway

Wolfson DAC, supercurio & voodoo sound.

Does our gn2 utilize the Wolfson implementation, and, if so... is voodoo sound plausible?

There won't be #LOUDER for the #GalaxyNoteII but instead a #VoodooSound port. Which variant do you own?

Agreed. I was considering a USB DAC, but with voodoo sound it's probably not necessary.
Explain it to me like Im an idiot (not too far of a stretch), what does this mean for us?

Very simply, the Wolfson DAC is how audio is processed on our phones. It is an extremely impressive implementation that is somewhat handicapped by Samsungs proprietary coding. Voodoo sound is an alternative module (kernel level driver) that unleashes its full potential and dynamic range. Supercurio is the developer responsible for bringing voodoo sound.

Any news on Voodoo Sound for our Note2's, yet? I haven't seen much mentioned about it, and I'm going crazy with this sensitive mic on the phone. Does anyone know of an alternative method for the ability to change recording preset?

I havent heard anything on supercurios twitter account. I know he recently bought a Galaxy S 4.2 wifi music player for cheap just because it has Wolfson and he plans on making voodoo for it. It seems like he's very busy testing display and sound properties of every new device that gets released. Good things take time I suppose.

We can use scoobydoo sound on perseus kernel. I confirm it works just like voodoo sound for headphones/line out
Use stweak to modify the parameters
That's cool, but I'm mostly concerned with line-in/ mic settings.

Sound volume in JB 4.2

Hello guys,
for those who has tested the new 4.2 stock, i would have a question about volume.
Have they improved it from 4.1 or it is a bit low yet?
Thanks in advance!
Seems pretty low to be honest - I've actually missed a couple of Whatsapp messages even though my phone was really close by. Waiting for some custom ROM/kernel goodness to bring it back up to the levels we know and love.

Yeah, that was my hunch... i'm on Minco Rom, and i think i'm gonna wait the new version based on 4.2
thanks for advice!
Yup it's decreased... But for some reason for me only when listening music... I watched a YouTube video and it was loud as before, then I switched to music instantly and barely heard how it decreased itself... Weird Google..

Low volume

Hello everybody
Some of you might noticed that the volume in some apps (youtube, navigon...) or even media (mp3) is quite low.
This issue is fixed in many roms like cm, xylon and so on.
I want to know if there is any possibility to increase the volume output on 4.2.1 stock, without having root.
thx
Yeah I would like to know too. My iPod touch is a whole lot louder! What gives Google?
Would love to know this too. In fact, the low volume makes me miss quite a few calls and messages during the day when I'm not in the same room as my phone. Also when I show someone a YouTube video the audio is sometimes near impossible to hear on the speaker. Would love to stick with the stock ROM so I hope there is an easy fix.

Volume+ free in the Android market is what I used prior to rooting and flashing Liquid.

use this mod this guy posted. it makes the volume so much louder. ive used it since day one when i got my nexus because i could never hear my damn ringtones or notification tones. but u need to be rooted. i run the stock 4.2.1 rom that is rooted. just so i can run some apps that need root access. its worth it.
Volume+ stopped working with jb. Still no fix. Unless rooted I presume.

Make sure you installed the V6beta2 if you are on 4.2 or 4.2.1. There are two different ones. One is for 4.1.2 which I think the latest build is called "V5Omega" it's in the 1st post and the other is for 4.2 and 4.2.1 which the latest build is called "V6beta2" and that's his 3rd post. You might have flashed the wrong one.

Voodoo sound for GS2?

Are there any kernels that support Voodoo sound. I'm still a little new to this phone and I'm on the latest Pacman ROM and I've been reading the rom threads and kernel and don't see any mention of that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
As of right now, there is currently no kernels that support the feature as supercurio has stopped development for our phone... as far as I know.
There are plenty of ROMs that offer alternatives however, such as AC!D audio or KingBeatZ which are just as good.
I miss voodoo sound with the Wolfson dac in my old Nexus S. Excellent sound and volume. T989 isn't bad, actually its better than most. But that Wolfson DAC is second to none.

I'm actually trying to confirm the DACs inside the S2's. Because there were so many models we're not exactly sure what we have inside ours.

I've tried Acid and all that stuff but it just doesn't compare to Voodoo. On my Vibrant the sound sucked but when installed Voodoo it was the best.
Main thing I care about is that it has a big volume increase when plugging in to a auxiliary jack
