[Q] 5.1 sound on T0lte - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning,

1. wrong subforum.
use the Q&A section.
2. 5.1 is something you need 5 speakers and a sub and a crossover for.
not 1 speaker (summed mono) pretending to be stereo.
3. depending on what you want "paragraphic,parametric,wideband"
most come with the sound mod package for specific roms.
best your going to get with cm12 is boeffla or viper audio. because 'boeffla" may not be present in this version. you may have to go with viper.

[Q] Voodoo Sound won't work on AOKP

Hi guys,
I am running the AOKP (Build 27) and I can't seem to get Voodoo Sound Plus to work. I have been reading forums but I can't seem to find a proper fix without changing Roms. Has anyone found a fix? Or alternatively (although I am happy with AOKP) has anyone found a ROM that works with Voodoo but is as good as AOKP?
Thanks!

Afaik voodoo doesn't work with galaxy nexus.
OK i can confirm it definitely doesn't work with gnex.
Its not a wolfson amp.
Anyway the rom has nothing to do with voodoo, its the kernel.

You need to do some research man. There is no voodoo sound for the gnex on any kernel (it's kernel based btw, not ROM).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Okay thanks. Didn't know that the GNEX doesn't support it. Bummer. Looks like I'll still be using my Galaxy Tablet for music!
Give it a 2nd chance, I find my experience with any other Android phone horrible in terms of music saved for the Galaxy S and this one (S2 close but not as good). The included DAC of GNex is fairly good IMO, despite being not a Wolfson but TI.

You're right, it's not that bad at all. Even without Voodoo Sound I still get quite a good quality. Using Poweramp greatly increases the overall quality IMO (and I use TF10 and Westone 4R earphones with a Fiio E11 amp). I recently just installed the Franco Kernel (although I'm not sure if the Franco, Nightly or the Imoseyon is the best one out of the 3 available via the app). It has a "high performance sound" option but I haven't really tested it yet. Battery life is improved though!

[Q] Need a ROM suggestion

Hi there everyone,
I know this is a nooby question - but I really need a ROM suggestion.
Currently I'm on an iteration of CM12 and it's absolutely awful - by that I mean, CM12 has fundamental flaws (namely Bluetooth) that STILL haven't been fixed since SGS1 days.
So I need to flash off this and get a ROM that actually works flawlessly and doesn't have any glitches.
This is all I need from the phone (NZ100 UK unlocked):
-Root access
-Can change music, when screen is off via volume rocker
-Some sort of audio tweaks - ie equivalent of Boeffla sound or voodoo sound would be great
-Preferably on lollipop
-Good battery life. Performance is less of an issue to me, as I use my phone mainly for browsing, Bluetooth connectivity and listening to music
That's about it!
Thanks!
Anyone out there?
I heard that AGNi kernel and slimkat are a great combination (though not lollipop). I personally couldn't get them to work, but you seem to be more knowledgeable than me, so you probably can. Liquidsmooth also looks very promising for a lollipop rom.
Hope I was of any help!

Speaker problem in CyanogenMod 12 !!!!

After flashing CyanogenMod sound from the phone speakers are like its going to break , so distorted , vibrating , speaker side gets hot little ; any way to solve this. Please help............
Check CM12 Q&A thread. I don't have current info of this problem, but it sounds like the same audio problem that was in CM12 earlier this year. Basically the audio level is too loud so it crackles.

thanx for the reply but this problem still exists in carbon rom also ,, i flashed dolby audio and changed the speaker volume to stock the sound problem is reduced to some extent
Both those ROMs are using the same kernel so they probably share the same bugs. The audio problem is listed as a known bug in the 1st post in the Carbon thread. It also looks like the guy doing the porting has stopped working on it so I really don't know why you're wasting your time on it.
Thangs let's wait for the stable release of cm12

Options for Increasing Bluetooth Volume Output?

I've been running V4A since I first unlocked my 10, and it works fairly well, but not as well as when I have the Nexus 6 and Note5. Although you can flash the standard V4A in TWRP and have it work, you need to a modified version that patches the audio config files in order to not lose BoomSound or Audio Profiles. You can find the flashable ZIP that patches here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/htc-10-audio-thread-t3358064 (v2.1)
My primary reason for needing it is to boost the volume output to my car through Android Auto, which is Bluetooth powered. Play Music is so low when used this way, that I need to keep my radio near 30 (45 max) in order to get decent sound. Same car (2015 Sonata w/ Infinity radio) and the Note5 would achieve the same quality closer to 15/45.
The 2.1 zip I mentioned above seems to break all system sounds when applying a ROM update, but not every update. When it happens, I need to dirty flash back to the latest Viper full ROM, then take the OTA again, then flash V4A and hope it doesn't break. I'd prefer some other options to raise Bluetooth volume levels if anyone can recommend an alternative.

Have you tried any other mods like AcoustiX_Audio_ZeroInfinity ?
I feel like that increases Bluetooth output
Question for you -- I remember you from YEARS ago (been here a long time -- just haven't contributed as you have) ---
I'm on AT&T and am currently using IceROM .... and specific reasons you use Viper? PM is ok if you'd rather

I have not. Is there a version that maintains BoomSound function? That's why I've previously stuck with the thread I linked above. A vanilla V4A install works, at the expense of BoomSound, and I'm trying to avoid losing it.

I wouldn't swear to it but I believe that mod now maintains Boom Sound

Used to run Viper because it was a godsend on the Nexus 6 and its horrible audio setup. On the 10, I'm using it for Bluetooth volume more than anything else. The slight boost to speakers is nice with the Extra Loud toggle, but I can go without it.
Do you have a link to the specific mod you're talking about? I'll try flashing it later tonight to see how it works.

Sorry my ADHD made my question not understandable --- I was more asking about ViperROM (not the Viper4A) ........ but I agree with what you said about V4A

Gotcha!
For me, I like maximum customization options, and for me Viper has offered that since I had the One M7 a few years back. When I made the decision to unlock my 10, I went straight to ViperROM, so my experience for this device is currently limited to a week on stock, and then Viper for custom.
But I have no doubt that each ROM currently available has pros and cons, Viper included, and it's up to everyone to give them a shot and use what works best for them.

Increasing the volume should be possible but it might damage the device. I'll test higher volumes and in case update the module.

i think you are right.
Work on Android 7.1.2 (PureNexus ROM) but the difference in volume between the two speakers is remarkable.
PD: It's good to see that Nexus 4 has not been forgotten and still alive

Thank you for feedback.
Tried it out on my LG V20, running LineageOS 15.1.
Sounds damn nice, haven't maxed out the volume just yet, but both treble and bass were crystal clear up to volume step nine out of fifteen.
No crackling, popping or snapping, no ViPER or other audio mods installed.

Nice to see this mod working on other devices too.
Just to let you know, doesn't work with k6 note, lineageos 15.1 and viper. But I assume, k6 is generally incompatible
working great on last official lineage os 14.1 build (20180427) with custom kernel (sinai 20180522)

Thanks for feedback, would be great if someone using KitKat or older could test it.
Works on my nex4 but volume is too low, and I don't know what the syatem uses in alsamixer to increase the earpiece volume up. Back speaker is fine as normal. So the stereo effect don't work. I am using marshmallow krexus build with quanta v 20.

I don't know this app and i don't know if it works with magisk. As i wrote before, increasing the volume too much could damage the phone and i didn't test a higher volume yet.
Thanks for making this module available for our good old Nexus 4.
I haven't used the N4 in a little while, there was a flashable zip created here at xda in the apps section. Is this using the same levels as that one? Feels like the volume can be bumped just a little bit higher or perhaps it is just my memory playing tricks.
Anyway, working fine using LOS15.1
Yes it uses the dame levels as the already existing mod
Module has been updated to v1.3 and module template has been updated to latest version 17000.
Works good on mine running Android Pie. Volume is pretty low but i imagine the speaker might not be more powerful than that.
