[Q] Voodoo Sound on the N7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know the app store says that it isn't compatible, but I'd like to hear your opinions. Do you guys think that it might be / know that it is possible to use Voodoo Sound on the Nexus 7?

Seeing as how the audio hardware in the Nexus 7 is completely unrelated (not a Wolfson) to those of any of the previously supported devices in Voodoo Sound, I'm going to assume the Nexus 7 will never be supported.

Never say never. Supercurio tweeted the other day that one of his long term goals is to make a universal voodoo sound to run on any phone. He said no eta but a goal of his.

More than this, I haven't owned a device yet that he hasn't at least worked with developers to port his modifications. It's very likely that we will have support for voodoo sound eventually, although I will say Tegra devices are typically more challenging.
Implementation will be kernel specific, so keep an eye on the kernel devs for Voodoo support.

What this guy said. The Nexus 7 uses a Realtek audio chip not a Wolfson which has open source drivers that supercurio can modify to create near perfect sound.

[Q] OTG cable, stick mount, nexus media importer

Can any of the lucky ones who received their nexus try using an otg cable ? Does the phone sense the pendrive or it needs the help of some secondary app such as stickmount, nexus media importer ...
Edit 1: It's not working! External power required though.
Haven't received the nex yet lol
It's not working for anyone at the moment I believe, 4.2 is broken the compability, Chainfire says there's hacks around it but not for a week or two.
Oh ok!

Lots of people have tried; no one has reported success. Take the comment about "hacks around it" with a large grain of salt; there are pretty strong indications, although not quite conclusive yet, I don't think, that the hardware just doesn't support USB host mode (the connector doesn't appear to supply the voltage needed to run a peripheral device).
Maybe if people star it, it'll show Google that people expected/wanted it, and hopefully if it's a software issue, then it'll get fixed faster.

I dont think its a hardware issue. The HTC One X with Sense 4.1 and ICS did not support the OTG cable. After the update to Sense 4+ and JB, One X has started supporting the OTG cable, pendrives upto 32 GB work like a charm. Its most probably a software issue
on the other hand, LG smartphones has never supported usb otg...
at least, none of their optimus line up hasn't yet
the problem may be on LG's fault
anyway, there is already a huge thread about this issue on this forum

MHL is hardware, not software, so it isn't possible. There has been talk of miracast, which is a wifi display device standard, but it sounds like that needs further research and developent to see if it works on the nexus 7, whether it be a hardware or software problem.

Mine connects to my 2012 Ram on unrooted stock 4.2.1 with no problem. OP, see if there is an update for your vehicle from the dealer. My '12 has already had one due to an issue with the HDD in the radio.

Just called and nothing. They actually have never heard of anyone trying to pair their tablets. I had a feeling they would not be much help.
I am wondering if I try to go to another rom.

You're on 4.2.1 stock?
Wouldn't hurt to try. I'll try connecting to my 2013 Jetta tonight. What is it you're trying to tether? Audio, I suspect...

Cars usually only connect to Phones via bluetooth because phones have different bluetooth profiles than tablets since phones have changes in their framework to allow phone calls.
most cars connect to the phone so you can use the phone hands free. tablets dont have hands free bluetooth profiles thus is probably why your Mercedes isn't linking properly as the tablet doesn't support syncing phone books and phone calls.
Someone else may have paired theirs with their Dodge ram but they most likely paired it for Audio to their audio system but not their navigation/phone system.
I got the same problem next time will buy a BMW.
I had issues connecting an android 4.2.1 device to an AUDI A6. gave up after a few days, even took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out.
for some odd ball reason, android bluetooth just doesn't work right. I tried all my apple devices (ipad and ipod touch 4g) and it connected instamagically to the car.
Let me know how it goes for you and I will try the later rom

It's technical possible, but take a look at the positions of the microphones. They are not right placed for voice calling like a real phone, it wouldn't be a great experience to use it. And btw isn't it too big to call someone?

Maybe he wants to call add he uses it but with a headset. Don't have to put it up against your ear.. Looks funny though. my girl and I called each other with gtalk and she had it on her ear

Faux123 kernel affecting wireless charging?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows a setting in the latest kernel (008-tbm) that affects wireless charging. I am on stock ROM with only this kernel installed. Wireless charging worked fine until I installed this kernel, so I know something is goofed up with my kernel settings. I'm UV -12.5 mV global

try raising your voltages, undervolting can have create such issues. every device is different in what it likes and dislikes.
OK thanks for the help guys. I'll try that right away. Right now it'll show as charging for about five minutes and then for some reason will stop.

OK I tried that and it didn't work, I'm using the intellidemand governor and all of the rest of faux123's recommended settings. My CPU bin is nominal if that helps any.

Posts like yours are more annoying than the original threads.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
you should try a different kernel, just to make sure. it takes seconds to flash a kernel, so that shouldnt be an issue. if it works fine with another kernel, then the issue is the kernel. if the same issue persists, then its your rom or device.

Yeah I'm on faux's kernel as well with no wireless charging problems. There's a good chance that it might be stopping because your battery is getting too hot. Do you have daydream enabled? Does your phone feel hot when charging?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I just got it working for about 30 minutes and my phone is super hot. It's never been this hot before so I'm gonna try a new kernel and see what happens like someone said earlier to narrow it down if it's the kernel for sure
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
What charger are you using? Some do not work well with the N4.
I have used several different kernels and none have affected the wireless charging. My phone gets up to 41°C while charging wirelessly so getting hot is not unusual.
I'm using the official nexus charging orb from Google play. I just flashed a new kernel and wireless charging seems to be back working. I'm gonna give it another hour just to make sure before I make any assumptions
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
One weird thing I did notice though is that on faux kernel I could not UV past -50mV without my phone rebooting, making my lowest clock of 384Mhz at 850mV. However I'm on harsh kernel right now and it shows that my lowest clock is at 800mV stock without any adjustments and is working fine. Would that make any sense? I know the governors could possibly be more or less harsh on the battery but shouldn't the failure value resulting in rebooting be the same no matter what governor or kernel you use? I'm by no means an expert as to why I'm asking
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is not unheard of to not be stable at the same voltages with different kernels. Also if you were using one of the kernels with turbo boost your chip may have needed a higher voltage for the higher frequencies. Or not, I don't know lol.
Glad your charger is working now. I like Harshes kernel.
