[Q] Which ROM giving a great music experience - Galaxy S I9000 General

I'm own galaxy mini using cm7 nightly tass and sound quality is far compared with i9000 even using cm7 made. This phone is advance compare to mini so does anyone know what ROM comes with excellent sound quality.
T q

All ROMs have same sound, this question is like asking which governor gives best gaming experience!

Do you know if it's possible to implement audio beats in our sgs?

Not true!
The SGS audio hardware is truly impressive... theoretically! However, in reality the software implementation from Samsung totally messed up the potential this phone had and wasted virtually all the awesome features & quality of the included Wolfson WM8994 Headphone Amp hardware & Codec.
Supercurio did some amazing work fixing these problems, and make his tweaks available to all rom producers in the Voodoo Sound project.
So, if you are running a Samsung Stock rom, then you definitely currently DON'T have the best sound from your device.
If you are running a third party rom, you might well already have Voodoo Sound available to you, but not fully active. To get the most from his tweaks (if already built-in to you your rom) you need to download the voodoo control app from the Play Market.
If you are on stock, (or a rom that doesn't include voodoo sound) you can install the Voodoo Sound stuff to any rooted phone, or pick any rom that has it included. Don't forget the control app too from the Play market to get the most from it.
Then... enjoy your phone as it was intended...

ROM is irrelevant, KERNEL with Voodoo Sound support is what you need.
Semaphore.gr has kernels made to run Samsung GB ROMS and ICS ROMS.

Yes. You were more specific (and therefore more correct) than me.
I re-read what I wrote and can see I wasn't clear enough. I was trying to answer the original question from the OP "which ROM should I get?" ...and do so as simply as possible!
Some roms include a kernel with Voodoo sound out of the box, so if the OP wants a new rom anyway they can pick one with Voodoo Sound already in the kernel and get better sound in one go. (or might find they already have it even, but not fully active)
Of course if the OP likes their current rom (stock or otherwise), and it doesn't have voodoo sound, then changing kernels will add Voodoo Sound for them equally simply. I'd already said this in my first reply, but without explaining how (ie didn't mention kernels), just that you could add it to stock.
Thanks for adding clarity to the discussion...

So writing that my post isn't true wasn't right, as I said that the ROM doesn't affect music. You need a KERNEL with voodoo sound.

Ha!
Depends how you consider a rom....
I consider a rom to be a complete package (which contains a chosen kernel... amongst other stuff). Therefore some Roms are baked with voodoo in... and some are baked without it in (depending on what kernel they contain by default). By that understanding, which Rom the OP picks DOES potentially make a big difference on sound quality (because of the awesome work that supercurio has done).
Of course, you can always change the default kernel to include voodoo afterwards, so no-one would disagree with your comment just now that the kernel is the bit that adds voodoo.
However OP asked specifically which "ROM" has the best sound...
You said it made no difference, which isn't exactly true (and I still stand by that assertion). In fact you didn't mention kernels or voodoo at all in your first post.
So apologies for disagreeing with your post. I was purely attempting to help the OP since I was surprised no-one had mentioned voodoo sound yet. That's all...
No offence intended...
Just trying to be helpful...

Speaker volume too low

I'm praying for someone who can solve my problem.
I LOVE my n1 but I dont hear it when Im outside home.
I surfed tens of forums searching for the solution and there is no dsp manager or lvh that has been able to solve the problem.
can someone help please?
p.s. i heard that maybe cyanogenmodded rom on gingerbr could solve the problem but i heard also that it uses dsp manager which wasnt working on my n1
Are you using a custom rom?
Most custom roms have an audio boost over stock. And maybe that DSP Manager would only work if the ROM supported it, so that could be why nothing has worked sof ar if you are on stock.
I think you're looking for the vibrate option
the audio boost is present in most custom ROMs such as cyanogen. so you really should have no problem if you use that. i know my volume has increased very well using cyanogen so i dont have any complaints anymore.
i do remember in cyan 5.0.8 that the audio hack was TOO loud and people complained, so the dev's reduced it to somewhere in the middle. perhaps you can go try that old ROM and see if that helps just as a test. if so maybe you could edit your kernel to match that old hack? might be a lot of work though...
i'm using one of the gingerbr roms from this forum
so you'r suggesting me to wait for the cyano's gingerbr?
p.s. today i bought an ideos for my old father ((( its LOUDER AND LOUDER than my n1 (((((
Unfortunately, you will have to live with crappy HTC speakers I am afraid. Rom's don't have a significant difference - I mean it will still sound crap :/, I don't know why HTC keep doing this.

dont say me so! please! i heard about people who solved and had to REDUCE volumes beacause the loudnes made the speaker clip instead!
i wanna clip my speakeeerrrrr!
Try enomthers Official ROM with the AudioMod kernel. I now run my incall volume at 50% where on the stock ROM I had it maxed all the time. The speaker phone is actually useful now as well. Besides this excellent perk its also a very fast and stable ROM with lots of features that I've found I can't do without. I ran a Gingerbread ROM for a week and was so happy when I switched back.

do you know if it's possible to flash only the audio hack? i'm just running stock cyanogen 6.1.1 and i would like to play around with the audio hack. can i flash it somehow, or does it have to be built into the ROM? and also, i have a build environment set up, so could i just play around with the kernel code for the hack, and compile my own kernel for testing it out?
Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!

Hello guys. I wanted to find out how to increase my skill lvl. Like I have quests tht require me to extract items like fruits, objects but when I try to extract, it says my skill lvl is too low. What can I do to increase? Plz help.

[KERNEL][04 APR] skullcap-voodoo #11 [VoodooSnd v7,color,more...] i9010 for Captivate

This is a kernel based on GT-i9010 JL1 Armani source.
Compatible with 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMS.
I ran the Andromeda 2.0 ROM (currently running Andromeda3) as my daily driver and liked the kernel the ROM came with (UrsaMinor) for speed, smoothness, and battery but had a couple issues, like in call volume, so I got inspired to contact the guys on TeamKomin, grab the 9010 source play with it. This kernel is what I ended up with. It's been working great for me for a while now so I figured I'd share it.
Normal disclaimer about you flashing at your own risk <here>.
What's in it?
Boosted in call volume
Applied hardcore's mic bias tweaks

for either the help with source or the help with questions.
If I've missed anyone I apologize and will add you if you remind me.
I have had the best success with the UGJL2 modem here in the north eastern US. YMMV.
UPDATE: Thanks to perosredo for doing some testing of modems with the kernel. His results are here Modem Test Spreadsheet
Looks like JK4 will work nicely with the kernel as well, at least from a speed perspective. IMO GPS is still a little better with JL2 though.
I have a KB1 kernel working as well with similar tweaks that I might post as well if anyone is interesting in testing it.
One last thing I guess... I do this as a hobby, it's not my life.
Reserved cause everyone else does it.

It has voodoo sound v4.
This is awesome was hoping someone would pick this up. I'm gonna flash this right now. I just recently went back to Andromeda because it just works, but I usually flash another kernal because I want voodoo sound. Any chance this will see voodoo sound 5?

Can't say I ever even thought about it, but I'll bump it from 5 to 10 in the next version. I assume the ROM you are running also supports it?

Just out of curiosity, how much testing was done prior to the first release?
EDIT: And would you be able to comment on how afar apart the Armani base kernel is from say, the i9000?

I've been running it for about a month now personally on my dev and daily phone. Also built the new UrsaMinor kernel with the same source for TeamKomin and they have been testing.
So I guess some... but not the whole world.

As for the comparison all I can give is my limited knowledge and opinion. The i9010 is almost identical hardware to the Captivate. So the base kernel code is closer to the Captivate than the i9000. An example of that would be there is no need to reorient the i9010 code for portrait like you have to in the i9000 code.
<snip>
JL2 is a 9000 modem, sorry for the confusion.
Maybe someone with more knowledge/advice will chime in as well.

I would recommend the JL2 modem over an i9000 based one mainly since the the modem and kernel are "matched". You can also try the GLJL1 if you like as well. If I were going to test modems I'd try the Armani ones first, then the Captivate ones, then the i9000.

Great. Going to flash as soon as I fully charge.

So I did some tinkering and got a new setup below in my sig. And it flies.

I9000 sound distorted.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to adjust sound mixer levels? It seems the no matter where i set the level to, it still sounds distorted .
Look into the dev section and get a kernel or rom that has voodoo sound. There are a lot of them, so just pick one that you would like the best.
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have a better sound as well as speed, battery, responsiveness and other improvements, depending on the rom/kernel.
And if you're afraid of flashing and/or want to support supercurio, you can simply buy voodoo control plus from market.
You can buy voodoo control plus on the market by Supercurio. His sound improvements are simply astonishing. You can have voodoo sound without a custom kernel as long as you have root. Also it helps support him

Considerations......

Hi to all, i premise that i love stock look and i want my GNote look like a GNote, not another phone, so i'm not intersted to roms with too much visual mods.
I come from a Galaxy S2 from day1 and i flashed it with many many roms and every time i flashed new rom it was full of modded apk and tricks very usefull. Now i switched to a Note and i'm very happy with it but after tried some cooked roms i came to the conclusion that IN MY OPINION no roms can offer more than a rooted stock rom maybe with jkay mods and unused apps removed or freezed with Titanium. Why i say this? Simply because latest Notes cooked Rom doesn't offer what is important for me and i think for other users: browser with user agent in settings, phone without ascending ringtone and noise filter off by default etc. In major cooked rom i read in description: tweaked this tweaked that but i see no real speed improvement in comparison to a (rooted) stock rom where all GNote app works and not like i read in cooked rom's comment: "this app doesnt work properly, my phone suffer random reboots, that app give me fc, after some day my phone become laggy etc. So, after tried many cooked roms now i think that with a rooted odexed kl4 with jkay mod my phone isn't less smooth than a "cooked rom equipped" one except for quadrant or other benchmarks results that are only numbers and doesn't give you a real result of how smooth is your device in daily use.
With these considerations i don't want to offend nobody and developer's hard work (i'm not developer and i admire their ability) i want only know if i'm the only one to think that and (if not) to advise developers about what users would like to see in future cooked rom.
Let me know what you think and before to say you don't agree with me try stock kl4 to compare.
That's what I think also, and that's what I did.
Stock la4 with jkay mod and removed a **** load of built in apps with titanium.
My phone flies and is smooth as butter, battery life awesome, no bugs, no crashes, nothing wrong.
Pure experience...
I miss roms like the ones developed by RMK40 for the HTC Desire Z, they were pure stock and just enhanced with tweaks needed to make them perfect, no frankeinstein bizarre stuff.
When I read things like: "libraries from ICS" I'm like, WTF !!!
It's like fitting your car with parts from another car...
It might be a little faster, but could be much less reliable.
Anyway, I recognise those devs are very talented, as there is no way I could do it myself, but it's just against my religion to mix libraries from different systems.
Like the sony bravia mod... what a POS !!!
There are only two good reasons to use a custom ROM for me: Power Menu and latest firmware. So I use Sheep ROM, the least modded one.

Power menu is also customizable with jkay on stock kl4 i also use it
(I hitted "thanks" instead of "quote" in your post )
Same here l, I love Stock looks and feels, I always stay away from ROMs that have there own graphics in, like RocketROM. I am using Cassie LA3 V6.

[PROJECT VOODOO] Is it dead?

I had the fasc. Through Verizon and loved having voodoo for GB and never saw anything for ICS roms. Is it dead altogether? I would loved to see something universal for all again.
I would think the mod would fix our screen being so shallow in the sunlight as well.
what to do with my vgs3....

Voodoo was an upgrade for the fascinate because it converted the file system from rfs to ext.4, ics is already ext.4 on the gs3...and on the fascinate its mtd. So essentially voodoo is a downgrade these days.
The US Galaxy S III does not have a Wolfson DAC, so yeah.
yeah its all about the opensource audio codec. wolfson dac was opensource so supercurio was able to get some tweaks in the system that you wont be able to do in our device...not the same way he did it atleast.
oops my apologies, I thought the op was talking about voodoo lagfix from back in teh early fascinate days.
Thanks for the input guys, I was glwanting the broad look of it all. Thanks for the support. I was so in love with the fasc being up at 4.0 I closed myself off from newer things
Thak yiu droidstyle for making the point of ext4 format. Twas my second highest inquiry.
My first most highest, is the screen. Any mod or hacks work well in your opinions of improvement?
