Hello, guys. I guess you could call me somewhat a noob, since I got my Galaxy Nexus just three days ago. I had a SGS2, Motorola ATRIX and a few HTC devices before, so I'm not THAT much of a noob, but with this device, I'm a starter.
When I had the HTC's, all kernels (which were not so many) were substantially different from each other. On the ATRIX, there was only one famous and good, so... it doesn't count. On the S2, there were so many, I decided I'd better go with MIUI and seal the deal.
On the Galaxy Nexus, I have AOKP, right now, and am using franco's latest kernel (milestone-4).
The only troubles I am having is with the earpiece. During calls, I can hardly hear the person at the other end if I'm in a crowded area - problem I never encountered before on any of my previous devices. I see most kernels (if not all of them) have ColorControl and SoundControl, but I must pay for the kernel developer's app in order to be able to control those... and I might do that.
But, until I do so, please help me out. Which kernel is the best? I mean, I wouldn't really wanna spend money on franco's app, for example, to find out later that GLaDOS is better; besides, I'm not really much of an app-buyer, so-to-say. So I really want this decision to be a good one, lol.
Besides, there's one factor that's kind of making me wonder... The earpiece volume shouldn't be this low, and the necessity of buying the dev app in order to be able to increase it shouldn't really exist. I mean, this is such a basic thing... Or perhaps I'm wrong.
I want to ask : did YOU have to increase the stock volume (not by pressing the volume buttons, of course)? And if you did, how did you do it? I'd like to try a free app for the time being...
And, secondly : what kernel would you suggest?
-----
I'm really sorry for being such a noob right now, but given the short time I had since I have the GN, I didn't really get to scout all of the threads and such... and I kind of want a very quick answer, so that's why I'm daring to ask. Plus, my exams just finished, so I'll have more time to chime in the dev topics, but still...
Try Volume+ to amplify your headset speaker. There is a free version. If this doesn't work you can download ANY kernel app and use it on basically ANY kernel since they all use the same implementation of the mods. It isn't necessary for me but it is nice to have it a little louder.
If you don't want to use the apps you can learn how to do it manually as they all have the option of editing settings through terminal I believe.

I tried Volume+ (free). I even increased the Maximum Volume by +4, but I notice NO DIFFERENCE at all . Tried it on Speaker, Headset and Bluetooth... none of them do ANYTHING :/
I tried this on my EVO 3D in the past - just out of curiosity. It didn't work then, neither. I kind of expected it to not work now, as well...

Well as I mentioned, they all use the same implementation of sound control.

So, if Volume+ doesn't do anything, franco's app or GLaDOS's app won't do anything, as well, right? :/
-----
I was using franco's kernel on AOKP until now and the color multipliers from Settings - ROM Control - Performance didn't do ANYTHING. The colors were not changing as I adjusted the gauges.
I just flashed CMPlus and the color settings from Performance DO work - although they don't help my purple-gray tint when the screen brightness is low... but that makes me think that franco may have blocked the kernel in such way that only with his app you can change those - not through the embedded settings.
Anyway, Volume+ didn't do a thing with this kernel, neither. Why the hell? Is the earpiece speaker already set to the maximum volume? Cause if it is, it really sucks. The app either isn't doing anything, or the earpiece speaker is already at maximum - which seems kind of retarded, to be honest, since I must drop calls if I'm crossing the street, for example (`cause I wouldn't hear the person at the other end)...

Volume+ and the kernels do two different things. Volume+ might not work, but a kernel WILL help.

Oh... I thought by "both all same the implementation of sound control" you meant that Volume+ uses the same method as franco's app... And since Volume+ didn't do anything, it was fair to assume that neither would franco's app...
Wrong, they will.
But to clarify:
Volume control mods from the kernels only adjust headset volume. FYI.
Secondly:
Try Lean Kernel.
Not only do I personally love it...
But Jake makes Lean Tweaks.
Which you edit through terminal.
(Flash Kernel. Flash Lean Tweaks. Open Terminal Emulator: Su (enter) lt (enter) and the options will appear).
These tweaks include the sound mods.

Guess I'll have to give that a try, once my phone charges up...! Thank you!

For the record, last night, my phone's battery dropped from ~22% to 8% over 9 hours. 2G/3G auto (full 3G coverage, though), Wi-Fi off, screen off. The phone WAS in deep sleep, because CPU Spy told me that. That was with franco's kernel.
I'm using CMPlus for the time being, but I'll try Lean in a couple of hours. I hope it works :-S
Erm... mind dropping me a link to the kernel thread? I can't find it here, on XDA - and it is not listed on the ROM/kernel/everything thread, neither...
Oh, nevermind, I should have Google searched, not XDA searched

The speaker is low, alright. In comparision with the S2 I previously had, yeah, it is somewhat lower. But the headset volume on the S2 was just great. On the GN, it is substantially lower :/ . I never had to drop calls when I was in traffic with my previous phones...

Do try the kernel implementations of sound controls then- they are a much bigger improvement than volume+

Changed the value from 0 to 3 (in volume_boost) and I notice no difference with the speaker OR the earpiece... Guess I'll just have to try LeanKernel, maybe this kernel I'm using isn't really that great when it comes to sound control

They may have implemented the same implementation in different ways If you want one that FOR SURE LIKE 100% TOTALLY works, use GLaDOS and the respective app. The author of GLaDOS is the one who originally implemented sound control and is the one that others use.

Hmm, I see.
I'm using LeanKernel (v3.9, stable) for the moment, with LeanTweaks. I enabled Highest Sound Boost, but am not noticing any improvement in earpiece volume :/
I'm beginning to be very sceptical about this... whether it would work with GLaDOS's app :/
-----
By the way... Would GLaDOS's app work with other kernels, as well? Or it is SPECIFICALLY ONLY for that kernel?
I remember you said something that it would work with others, too... I can't load the previous page to check, though :/

If any of them are going to work it is GLaDOS since the author is the one who actually coded the sound control in. I don't know how Franco/Lean Kernel work, but I know for a fact that GLaDOS and similar (CMPlus) will work. If they don't, you might need an exchange.

I walk through really loud places on my way to work and back home, and I can hardly hear anything on my earphones (in-ear even). Either my hearing is not at all what it used to, or the volume is just too low.
Is it possible (or is there already a way) to increase the earphones volume above the current limit? (a kernel patch or whatever determines the volume limit)
I know it's a slippery slope to an impaired hearing, but I'll take my chances.

Tried on modaco r8, didn't work (bootloop).
Hi guys, I'm sorry if I'm a little slow on this. But how exactly does voodoo sound control work? I'm running the genocide kernel with module v7 and I also have the Voodoo Plus app which contains v8. How do I benefit the most from voodoo, what settings do I adjust etc...?
When the kernel is installed is the stock produced sound automatically enhanced because of the intergrated module v7?
Thanks in advance for any responses!

I force the volume into analog mode and put it at 0 dbm. It's AWESOME!!!!
I keep the mic input as default (not NEW default) original default, and the rest the way it already was. Sounds great in my car.

Genocide has v7, plus has a newer version which it loads as a kernel module and overrides v7... plus works on virtually any modular kernel including stock. but genocide would work without plus.

All Devs I beg and plead with you to either have a Non-BEATS audio version of your ROMS or to have it as an optional add-on. I ask this because BEATS audio makes changes to all music you play and I for one along with many others do not like the changes it makes. It seems that every single new version of ROM that comes out has this built in. I have looked high and low and cannot find a way to remove it form the .zip file or even how to remove it after it is installed.
I deeply respect all the work that you do and am very thankful for everything you guys are doing to make our phones better. I understand many people are asking to have BEATS audio added and you are in turn abiding the request.
If anyone wants to know my reasons for not wanting BEATS audio I will be happy to fill you in or you can look at my post history.
One last Thank you to all the Devs for all your hard work and also thank you for even considering my plea, whether or not you are able to fulfill it.
Beats Audio is cool for people who swear by Skull Candy, I guess. Other than that... I'd rather have it optional please!
While everyone has their opinions, and yours is definitely valid, remember that these developers are developing roms based on what they want to make. If they want to put Beats in, its their choice.
Though I think it would be nice if someone would make the files/modifications needed to disable beats ourselves, its out of my knowledge to do so but that would be the proper thing to do rather than expecting developers to change their roms.

Master & Slave has that capability with his new rom paradox paradise. In order for you to activate beats audio, you need to use dsp manager. So there you go. Gotta love options
"Cocaine Is One Hell Of A Drug" You Know I Keep That White Girl
Team Kang probably won't incorporate Beats into their ROMs since they keep it close to stock but with common sense extras that appeal to everyone. As long as Juggernaut and its future releases are Beats-free, I don't see the need to flash anything else for myself.
And yes, Beats are for people with Skullcandy and lower tier phones/IEMs. I'm happy with my Panasonic HJE900K with Poweramp producing sound the way it should be.
What I don't get is why would you flash beats when volume + has beats emulation in it. It's not even all that great. Just really too much bass.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Beats Audio sounds terrible.
I agree. I flashed the zip without making a nandroid and now I'm wishing there was a zip to remove it. The only noticeable thing it does is increases the bass too much. I like bass but not to this level. Whenever I plug my phone into my car the bass is just overwhelming to the point where the treble is just muffled. Besides our sound card, if you can call it that, is already good as it is. In some sense its better than my 2022 MBP's output with the stock player.
I take it, Beats audio doesn't have the ability (in a system setting somewhere) to disable it? So you can go back to normal?
Download and run Darkside Digital Warfare. It does not have any of that extraneous crap baked into it. It will also be one of the best ROM's you will ever run as far as snappiness and battery life.

So far it is my favorite ROM. I put this plea out because I still love trying out new ROMS from time to time and playing music from my device at work and in my car is a MUST HAVE, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT feature. And Beats Auido ruins that for me. If only one ROM ends out not having Beats then that limits me to just one viable choice. As other have replied, I am not the only one that thinks this way.
But yes, thank you for the recommendation of Darkside, I have a Nandroid backup for that ROM that I will go back to if I don't find another Daily.
Not sure if SlickMod 3.4 has Beats but DSP Manager wasn't in the base install. Simply installing DSP Manager from the market doesn't work. I to like clean sound and found a workaround with Root Toolbox Pro which has the option to install Cyanogen's DSP Manager, apparently at the system level. The quality coming thru a Bluetooth FM transmitter to my car stereo is as clean as a CD played directly from the player.
A golden app worth mega bucks would be one that would raise and lower the volume depending on surrounding noise. A pink noise generator to set the eq for varied conditions. Hi-end Alpine car stereos started having that option in the mid 80's. The SGS2 has the hardware needed.
I found that if the CPU Freq was set low when first starting an audio file, DSP Manager would crash when trying to change a setting and I would have to reboot.

Why not just delete/disable the files that are required to make it work. Not the cleanest way to do things, but probably would kill the software from running, thus giving you what you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440986
Scroll this page. There is one post with links. But instead of relying on a zip flash file, open up these files. Look inside specifically at what lib files or apk file in system are running and just delete them yourself.
Again, not the cleanest method of doing things. Or look for the references in build.prop. Most developers will annotate the build.prop file to specifically show some instances for the enhanced audio. Just simply try a quick edit and reboot to see that the audio is back to stock sound. Just a thought
Again, and I repeat this...Nandroid backup first. I don't need any blame on what I made you do
After all this time now the only ROMs out there that are TouchWiz Based are
Tweaked
Jedi Master
Right? Is this really the only set of options we have? I need to have WiFi Calling and both of these ROMs seem to have issues... one with WiFi not even wanting to work half the time (Jedi) and the other making it sound like the conversation is taking place inside of a can (Tweaked)... Any other suggestions aside from Odin to Stock??
Look in Android development. There's more then those 2 or you could make us one. DROID premium has a fairly popular AOSP themed and I have a little project*it is in hold until 4.3 though) By the way I ran tweaked for a long time and never had a problem with sound quality. Dwitherell doesn't add in any sound mods except the optional volume boost so there should be no change from stock. Having said that you could try a different kernel or done sound mods, I recommend Viper audio.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Did you report your issue with Tweaked in the tweaked thread and I missed it? If so my apologies - as kintwofan said there was nothing directly done to the rom to alter call quality. Did you use any of the sound mods? What kernel were you using? Was this on wifi calling? Did this happen right away after installing the rom (before any themes/mods)? Did the "can" effect always happen regardless of location (so no matter what tower your phone may be connected to)?

Hi all. Many have noticed that the headphone output has taken a hit with the latest beta. I use V4A and even that isn't really doing the trick. I installed EX Kernel, which does a great job at improving volume... But unfortunately I'm getting phone freezes whenever I join a public WiFi if I use a custom kernel, so I've had to go back to stock.
Does anyone have a way of boosting headphone output above and beyond V4A? I've tried editing the mixer_paths.xml file... But it no longer exists!
Any ideas?

Only option is the custom kernel with sound control route. Which kernel were you using that was giving you problems?
I used to always edit my mixer_paths_tasha headphone values to 84, playback gain control on slight -1.9db and kept the master output gains at 0 in v4a and that was more than enough volume for me. Now I just run sound control headphone gain at +2, and playback gain control and output gains are still at same levels and the volume is the same.
It's happened on both EX Kernel and Blu_spark kernel... I'm back on stock and will see if it happens again tomorrow. It SEEMS to happen when I'm listening to Spotify and I rejoin a public WiFi that requires login through a splash screen. Yes... It's very specific, and entirely possible it's not kernel related. However, I know that all custom kernels experience some WiFi weirdness (delayed WhatsApp notifications on WiFi only etc.) That's my best guess at the moment anyway...

Try FrancoKernel, I havent had any issues with wifi and the latest update today has wifi fixes in the changelog.
Edit: that is, if your issue has anything to do with custom kernel specifically.
Flashed new kernel 1.16 and downloaded kernel adiutor from playstore. There you can increase the volume

That worked! No problems on Franco (this morning at least) Guess whatever he's done with the wifi module has done the trick
Wrong thread, oops.
