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.
Yup same, the headphone amplifier is amazing when listening to music from Pandora on my car through the 3.5mm out jack.

Ok, so before I force the volume into analog mode I need to max out the volume on the stock (android system) player correct?

Nah, it'll by default set that to medium and alter the sound system to analog. Give it a try and you'll notice it's much nicer on 0 dbm.

+1 ... So much better when you do this. Good find bro.
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.
as for the differences between 7 and 8, i dont know, youll have to research that on your own.. i believe voodoo sound is up to 10 now...

Hold it RIGHT there. Not anymore, dowloaded Voodoo Control Plus apk, no custom kernel needed. Thank You, Thank You! Sorry, no Flash Photography allowed! ^^ (P.S. away from sarcasm, really thank you to OP for mentioning it, now I'm enjoying it. Lol.)
P.P.S.: Now that I'm re-hearing my music I hear a difference.. now I'm a tad bit sad that I'd been out of the loop. =( Like a tiny fishy who, instead of going with the flow of the river like the rest of the fish, went against it. =/

Ok I am searching from my phone and don't see it so if this is already posted I apologize. Search the market for voodoo control app. This app will give you the ability to add voodoo sound if you are rooted. This is mainly for those that want to remain near stock but would like to use voodoo sound. Or if you want to have the ability to toggle between stock and voodoo sound for whatever reason. I have not used voodoo from a kernel or rom so I don't know if there is a difference in quality. All I know is that it sounds much better than stock. So if you are rooted and don't already have voodoo give it a shot and let us know what you think. If someone would compare this to the kernel version that would be great also.

Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?
There is something i really dont understand about the touchwiz roms compared to the jelly bean 4.2.2 roms in original development.. i listen to alot of music and i also play a few games here and there i have a deactivated device... but i love the overclocking and undervolting features from every rom that i can flash agat's recovery and kernel or blu kuban's kernel also (usually have it clocked to 50mhz-up to 1600mhz at the tops side because it runs like a dream) heres the problem yes i love having that feature but what kills it for me is i usually uninstall as much as i can from what i dont need in it because i am also on the uscc version of the e4gt (im on the SCH-R760) and then i proceed to install vepier4android also (link is down below for whoever needs to know what it is) i run both versions of it as well (fx and xhifi) along side the full version of poweramp off the market with dvc enabled and music fx checked in poweramp everything else off besides the limiter.. i cant get over the fact of how much better it sounds with every single 4.2.2 aosp/aokp/jelly bean rom out there in original development... but in android development touchwiz roms do not like this combination at all in any way.. i cant understand what it is.. the audio cuts out sometimes, treble and vocies cut down alot when bass hits (doesnt happen in 4.2.2 at all), just doesnt sit very well together.. also to add i unistall every other eq that i see with titanium backup and push both viper apps to system apps and still the same issue.. ive tried everything under the sun but cant come to a conclusion.. its killing me not having the extra cpu headroom from agat's and would seriously love some insight/explanation or possibly some ideas on how this could be fixed i will try anything to get this to go well together in touchwiz.. i can decompile and rezip roms and mess with settings before flash i can just about do anything just need to know what is wrong or what is conflicting with them or something... please anybody that has an idea let me know i would greatly appreciate it.. thanks in advance

Samsung adds in their own audio mods in TouchWiz, it really is just testing what works with what and finding what sounds best on YOUR device. All devices are different, that's why most include an app to tweak the sound. I love the Samsung Optimized AC!D Audio on my phone, it doesn't play well with my wife's E4GT, she uses Viper on TouchWiz. I haven't tried playing with AOSP Sound in awhile but if you try any of my ROMs they all have my combo audio mod on them. I've got a lot to say on this subject but I'll let you respond to see exactly where you are going with this.

that gives me alot more insight to the problem actually thank you lots bilg. but as to where im going with this mostly is i would love it so much to have touchwiz with alot of it taken out and zero audio mods so that the viper4android can be installed to where there is no issues like what i was receiving with me trying it or if there is a way to remove the tweaks from build.prop or elsewhere im sure i can do it myself i just dont know where everything that deals with audio mods (etc. acid audio) is located. and of course one of the overclocking kernels that reach 1600mhz or close (etc, agats and blu kuban kernel)

Introducing the Next Optimus G Generation. I have tried to take the stock LGOG features and bring a more AOSP feel.
A lot of bloatware has been removed. I felt that there should be more stock-based ROMS to choose from, and more
development for the LGOG in general. This is my first ever development attempt. I was inspired by Lokifish Marz'
Imperiam Initiative, and used AdriVelazquez' deodexed stock ROM as the base. Enjoy!

Thanks for turning off the camera shutter sound in the build prop.
Maps 7. Coool.
One concern: during the initial boot, I waited about 5 minutes until I decided I'd reflash it. But, I didn't reflash it, because the moment I hit the power button, the home screen showed up.
Pertinently, I flashed Liberty 1.22 with the ROM.

You're dandy welcome.
Also of extremely minor concern: I think it flashed with both the LG Alarm/Clock and the AOSP style Clock. Woo.
EDIT: Speaking of which, if I try to edit either of the two alarms that are set as default in Clock, it crashes.
I am able to create new alarms though. ... Hope they work...
EDIT: That problem magically disappeared. Maybe I'll come back with some useful observations soon. Thanks.

I tried building this with Evolutionmods latest kernel, but ran into the extremely slow bootup so I went back to the stock kernel. I PMed him for help. With the stock kernel I timed the initial boot at about 2 min 10 sec.

I had old apps show up if I didn't wipe system before flashing.
I spent the last month tinkering with this to get it where it is at, I didn't want to post something terrible my first time out. Glad to see you guys trying and enjoying it.
Has anyone tried the viper4android effects? I thought I had it working the other night, but now I can't tell the difference with it on or off. I have been playing around with all the sound mods I can find and can't seem to get one with a noticeable difference. Either my LGOG came with great stock sound or I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Any of those kernels past 1.22 boots slow for me. 1.23 is where they get OC'd.
And insofar as the system app showing up when I didn't wipe system, that makes sense.

ihitcows - Let me know if you test out the sound mod. Also, are you experiencing any call problems? It might be because I use Google Voice, but my wife will call me and her phone will ring for 30 seconds and go to my GV VM and it won't even ring on my phone.

Sound mod confirmed working on speaker, headset and Bluetooth.
Though the effects are, generally, so slight on the speaker it's difficult to tell. But it does work.

Thanks, but is this sound mod better than AC!D or Beats? Like I said, I haven't noticed that much of a difference with any of them. I am still trying a couple of others, but I don't want to get rid of it if everyone likes it.

All righty. Since I was prompted to update the drivers for VIPER, and did, the headset hasn't worked. Haven't tried speaker and BT.
So, I'm gonna ditch it. But hey, it's sound. Hard to be more subjective than that!
All of the adjustments, for me, on both Beats and AC!D work, with one exception: the EQ on AC!D's Noozxoide. But I really dig its room-size adjustment.
And, dev, I appreciate the dark-themed Play Music, but I cant get it to show any content. Tried clearing data and rebooting and resyncing.

1. I think I messed up something with v4a and believe I can fix it. Fixed or new sound mod will be in the next update.
2. My player loads everything from my internal storage. It is not the same as Google play music, it is just a plain old school android music player with an updated theme. If you use Google play music you will need to download it.
I will be working on this more tomorrow and will hopefully have 1.1 tomorrow night maybe.

Darndest thing just happened:
Seeing as how I still had the Alarm/Clock, etc., and notification bar and menu I had from LifeLess, I decided to reflash this ROM after wiping system. So,
I wipe data, dalvik/cache, and system, and boot into a several-minute long LG logo.
Better yet, my backup of this ROM nor of LifeLess would boot. Same thing.
... This may very well having to do with something outside the ROM that I've done. Just thought I'd mention.
EDIT: Formatted data, we're good.
Flashed it without Liberty kernel; initial boot was normal this time.
if you use evos kernel you can use faux sound to adjust sound settings and it works really well

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.

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)?

I did not maybe I should though... not certain its a ROM issue. That's why I wanted to try another one. I really like Tweaked so far but the sound is off.
