Hey Guys -
I recently tried the Franco kernel with hopes for a speaker boost, but it turns out that just does headphones. I'm looking for another kernel and or ROM which is not bloated, doesn't kill the battery and will make the speaker/ringtone louder.
I'm by no means a power user, use maybe 3-4 apps total, so don't need all the bells and whistles. Just would prefer something close to stock, with good battery life, and has a good volume boost on the speaker/ringtone.
Thanks!
I personally recommend Trinity Kernel and any ROM that works for you. You also need to purchase the app in the Play store to modify the volumes. Its a small price ($3 USD) and goes to a very talented developer
Just use dsp manager to boost speaker volume, you can also purchase franco's app and boost volume from there

CM 10 nightly has a volume boost patch integrated. Its way louder than it needs to be.

You wount regret it its basic with only internal changes done to it with almost nothing changed visually from stock its only missing toggles then itd b perfect for me ive used it b4 with Franco and its a good combination
Speaker volume and ringtones are just not loud enough on any rom I've tried. I was hoping they would be louder with this one but they are still too low. I guess it's the hardware... Darn.

Must be unlocked, rooted and on a custom ROM for it to work I believe
Also another option is unlocking, rooting and flashing either Franco kernel or leankernel or glados kernel I believe and enabling the sound boost mod
Franco kernel app needed to set it for Franco kernel, leantweaks needed to set it for leankernel and not sure about glados kernel
I use volume+ on an unlocked, unrooted stock rom and it works for me

That's for the headphone port ONLY.

Since I moved over to the CM9 nightlies, I have found the speaker volume to be much improved.
Note, though, that there are design issues at play also. It seems that Samsung kept the volume lower to keep the sound from distorting (the speaker isn't that beefy). Also, I've found the speaker is easily covered (e.g.: phone resting on a sofa), such that even with the higher volumes, I can't hear it!
Definitely a weakness of the phone design.
My phone volume seems to be great on stock non rooted. Better them my last phone.

Hey all as the title suggests I'm on cm9 7/9 nightly. I've been playing with DSPManager for a while now (on other builds as well) and have yet to come up with any positive results. None of the settings in DSPManager have any effect at all. Is there some sort of prerequisite to using it? Any help at all is appreciated.

You aren't alone, because I too can't get DSP Manager to work. However, I can't get ANY apps that adjust the DSP settings to work on CM9. I personally have used AudioFX for quite some time on Gingerbread on my Galaxy S II LTE (called the Skyrocket on AT&T) and it worked fine on the OFFICIAL release of ICS from Rogers. However, it doesn't work on CM9. So the problem doesn't appear to be DSP Manager itself, but rather something in CM9.

How about the lack of kernel support at this time More than one thread on this, I read on yesterday. Though last time anyone really wasted their breath on the issue was around Alpha 3.

Figured it had something to do with cm9. The kernel not being supported makes sense. Should be rectified in the next couple days.

Tried it. Doesn't activate dsp manager. And what it does do I can replicate better with PowerAMP. And it doesn't affect in-call volume at all, which is what I was going for.
I just got volume+ from the developers website (full version for free) and it mostly works. There's a few ics bugs that they have to work out, but it does bump up the volume so I'm happy.

Has anyone else CONFIRMED that 3rd-party DSP apps (I gave the example of AudioFX, but you can try others) don't work on CM9 on the Skyrocket? So far I've not heard from anyone else providing collaboration of my observations. If you have an i727 or i727r running CM9 (or any other phone for that matter, seeing as this isn't even a Skyrocket thread), could you please install a 3rd-party DSP app and let me know if it works on your phone. Thanks in advance.

As said in my previous post, volume+ works mostly on cm9. It has a few glitches here and there, but it does increase the volume. I haven't had a chance to fully test it so I don't know what all is or isn't working.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I believe the volume increase provided by Volume+ has nothing to do with the DSP chip. You need to test this on equalization, bass boost, etc. These are features provided by that chip.

Tested. EQ and volume control work for the speaker. Bass boost and echo/delay don't have any effect. Nothing works for bluetooth or headset. Oh, you can also change how many steps in the in-call volume. No volume boost though. For all this it would be better and easier just to use Poweramp. It works better.
The problem is I need equalization for all of my audio applications. This means that I need an equalizer that works generically rather than one that is built into a specific app. Virtually all of my music is played from Slacker Radio or TuneIn Radio, neither of which have built-in equalization.

Found a DSP fix for Motorola ATRIX 4G...
I play music via Bluetooth into car audio system and loved DSP in CM7.....I replaced joersaxx 1.3 faux kernel to stock 1.0....I found this link
and it worked like a charm!!! The first thing I noticed was it worked like in CM7 when the first menu was selection of output rather than straight to menu....I am going to try flashing a 1.3 kernel to see if it still works....
Thank you Yasir Idrees! I tried to post link....but I'm a noob!!! Go in to setting in /system/apps and set as per thumbnail.
HI

I've been using DSP manager. Its for ICS but works on JB 4.1.1. Flashable cwm zip make a backup before flashing!

One quick note: I ran into problems with DSP Manager because I was undervolting my phone. When the screen went off, the phone's CPU was restricted too much and any media would have a slight stutter to it. Anyway, not a problem if you're not undervolting, just a word of advice.
Ok thanks everyone
Backing up now, and will flash DSP in a couple of minutes. will report back
Volume+ is working for me.....

So I flashed DSP, it installed, but not working at all, does not affect the volume in any way, I checked the DSP under sounds..
How does Volume+ work for you?? are you ob JB? does it work on all volume levels such as ringtones, notifications etc.. ??

That's odd.. it only works for music on my GN. ringtones, notifications etc' stay very weak, and it's not only me, the reviews on the volume+ google play page are bombarded by JB users who lost the functionality of volume+.. sucks..
I never used volume +...but most kernels have high performance sound and maximum sound tweaks that I use and love. I know Franco and trinity have them.

Um...Just curious, couldn't you just boot into CWM then flash only the kernal without root? Never tried it, but I'm wondering... If you do that, only thing you need to do to go to stock is flash kernal back to stock...
Did u go to settings>sound>music effects ? Enable DSP manager or volume + from there

I am currently running codnameandroid its an amazing 4.1 ROM however I do have an issue with the volume on this phone when it comes to speaker and headphones. I tried volume plus a week ago for the fist time and wow did it make my speakers vibrate. After some more ROM flashing i decieded to flash nexuslouderv3 and it worked. I got sorta greedy and used that with volume plus and the sound went back to stock. I tried flashing with one of them being used and vice versa but no luck. I even formatted my system and data but no luck. Anyone have suggestions?

Trinity has the same thing too. The volume boost is only for headphones anyway.
Are you saying louderv3 working but then stop functioning after trying to use volume+? If so disable volume + and make sure your musical effects (in settings>sound) is not set to volume+.
Is anybody else noticing a drop in in-call volume since the 4.1.2 update? I have DSP manager installed on my OG from before the update and still call volume is ridiculously low. Any suggestions? Maybe uninstall and reinstall DSP manager first?
I've noticed the same thing and I've found no way to make it louder.

I took DSP Manager off my phone and went back to the stock sound setup. I'll let you know if it worked to cure the call volume problem. May be something we have to report to LG.
I'm experiencing the same thing. More times than not I am unable to hear the caller on the other end well enough to hold a conversation.

So I took DSP manager off and no dice. I'm wondering if I might HAVE to root it and put on a new ROM and maybe put Awesome Beats on the phone in order to get the results I want.
I think this is something that can be modified with the kernel. I remember on the galaxy nexus there were a few Franco nightlies he was testing that had in call volume issues. Some were too low some were crackely. If he was able to modify something within his kernel to effect call volume then I'm sure it can be tweaked to a higher volume.
