[Q] [Q\A] D2spr Rom for audiophiles; are there any? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey all,
FYI this is my first post anywhere, but I've come to Xda anytime I had a question on all things root, you guys come through!
That said I've scoured the threads and found a few post here and there but no all out threads on this specifically.
I'm currently running carbonrom 1.8 on my d2spr for the purpose of using the voodoo sound app. While the rom says it unofficially supports Voodoo sound, Voodoo sound does not support my phone.
So I've read there was a work around by flashing certain kernels. Unless you guys can recommend stable roms that take advantage of the hardware (I know my chip is no wolfson, but it's still s good chip yeah?)
Otherwise I can settle with getting a good DAC/AMP combo.
Thanks ahead of time!
*edit I only now realized I posted this on the at&t threaded! Sorry for the mistake! Still, input from you guys would be awesome!

Stay with carbon
Install Viper4Android.
The BEST audio mod/app for an audiophile.
Don't believe the hype that a single EQ will do the trick (DSP, Beats Audio, etc..)
Viper4Android is MUCH more than an EQ and effects, much more.
Give it a try and listen for yourself.

(REQUEST) kernel or ROM with voodoo sound support

I tried looking through a few pages of the dev section and didn't see anything regarding this feature. Is it obsolete? If I could make a wish list for features baked in, then here they are:
Stock kernel
No ciq
Cal's battery life mod
Ek02 would be good but el26 would be nicer
No themes
odex, but if it would be easier to deodex then go ahead
Nothin fancy. Thanks ahead of time if someone does this.

Shouldn't be hard to find something real close to that in the dev section already. I'm not sure if anyone has a kernel with voodoo sound support yet.
Would love to have voodoo sound. Made video recordings in a loud environment on my OG Epic possible.

Even if its bone stock with voodoo sound/screen capable kernel, I'd be happy.
One thing I just thought about, maybe our phones don't have the sound chip hardware that the galaxy 1's had. I don't know the specifics so I couldn't speculate. Maybe there could be a voodoo sound/screen driver for galaxy 2 phones. Like voodoo^2
And bln support too

BLN is easy, voodoo isn't compatible with the DAC in our phones afaik

That's my understanding too. I don't think we will ever see Voodoo on this phone unfortunately. I am using the paid PowerAmp. It has a nice EQ. You can also check out AudioBoost SGS2 and Equalizer apps from the Market

Whats the best ROM if I just want to use the Inc as a car MP3 player? (no radio)

So I have my old DInc laying around, and I think I'm going to use it just as an mp3 player in my car via aux, and I was wondering what ROM you would recommend for that purpose?
I haven't been in the DInc scene in a long time so I don't know where to start. Battery life would be priority but with no radio use and a car charger don't even know if thats an issue.
What do you think?

Really any rom will do, but senseless roms are probably going to give you the best battery life. Really you could take any rom and just start stripping it down, deleting everything it will let you without messing things up, leaving only the bare essentials.

Not sure, i think a few roms had it half way working, but still not the real deal.
Yea an aosp-based ROM would probably be best in terms of battery, but if you're in your car, you probably have easy access to a charger so I wouldn't worry about the ROM too much.
Just install any ROM and use this script to kill all of the battery-sucking radios.
isnt beats audio just an equalizer? your stereo should have one of those xD

Factory stereo. Doesn't have any fancy eq features, but does have aux-in
I know the Inc didn't have Beats but I thought I did read it was ported over to some devices. I can definitely hear a difference with it on and off using my rezound, like i said. Just wondering though. I'll load up CM9 I guess soon as my microSD gets here.
Thanks for the tips guys!

so I'd flash this over CM7? Is that right?
I'd say Anthem is your best bet because it has battery life mods that help people get 20-50 hours on a single charge

Mate,the golden rule before flashing anything is to have a working backup just in case!
It can save you plenty of time reconfiguring your phone...
Did you tried Siyah kernel ? Best sound and bass IMHO. I have read in many forums and threads that beats is more or less a placebo. Try Siyah with bass boost eq or eargasm. You will love it

Beats audio/dsp mod for I9305?

Hello all... I was wondering if anyone here knows if the current beats mod for I9300 can be used on my I9305?
I am very happy with the sound quality of my handset but bass is a bit lacking even tried using power amp and other music players but with no luck. Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
Why don't you try Mega Bass mod from Nexus forum. I tried it on my S3 and it worked flawlessly and I can promise you that it is much better than Beats Audio with tons of bass.

Also check the volume hack thread, which is the first mod I flash after a ROM installation for a louder speaker (also headdset performance). Even though it's a volume louders hack, I believe it's much enough for most users with a good headset (like Shure or Audio-Technica ATH-CKS90 etc...)

All of them have bugs but they have cutting edge features that allow you to live with some issues. It really depends on how you use your phone. You really need to test drive them for yourself.

Of course. It's just that I know many people have already flashed them all, and I was hoping knowledgeable sources would share their experiences with respect to how they use their phones. Crowd-sourcing, man. Share the knowledge.
Try them all and stop when you find one you like.
No need to continue this thread.

Of ones you listed I like AOKP best. Its just clean. IT feels polished.... Deff a possible daily driver if you don't mind bluetooth problems (which might be fixed by now anyway) point is its a good rom. However the one you didn't list in my title is JELLYBAM
Which I use and love. Its not as polished its a mix of 3 sorces... but its dam good.... plus best bat life I have got from a rom Unless you want one thats stripped down (then you can get more bat life) but I like to use my S3 and I enjoy hell out of it... anyway k
Try jellybam.... if its to not the norm for you just go with AOKP or Im sure cm10 be fine too... I never tried them though..
Later bro. There all good in there own way. Try a few its as simple as a back up lol
I've also tried Jellybam for a few days and battery life has surpassed the other roms I've tried (Tasks' AOKP and Liquidsmooth which I've used for about a month each). I mostly use my phone for web browsing, sms, and skype. I do not call much. I was pretty shocked that I was still at 60% after a day (used about 2 hours of screen time). I've also used ktoonsez kernel with the same settings for each rom.

+1, this thread isn't really necessary. You could just take some time and cycle through them until you find a good one. Only then will you have your answer.

all I want to know is do any of those have good, working bluetooth audio?
I think tasks Rom is the most supported but I don't use Bluetooth but if you do search the thread about people who do you might find a good Rom. I love aokp and tasks been my daily driver with updates always for about two months I can't go back to touch wiz I tried. Task and I use ktoonz kernel. Either way the built in kernel is fine I just like under clocking and when playing need for speed over clocking is nice to have hope I helped typing on phone sorry for errors.
