Hi guys
Thinking about giving the Note 2 a chance since it has Wolfson.
Sound means a lot for me, i still have my old Nexus S with Voodoo Sound just because i love the sound out of it.
I would like to know which is for you guys the best combination for audio purposes, meaning ROM and Kernel, also which player u use and how happy u are with the sound, how u describe it, which are the strongest points, what are u missing...just your general opinion about it.
Depends what you like. personally I'm on Perseus kernel, which lets you change gain of volume and freqs but it doesn't color the sound, beats, xperia etc mod are not for me. ROM wise, It doesn't matter.

I have and old Nexus S, with CM11 and DSP Manager, i have direct access to the DAC, which is what Boeffla Sound does for the Note 2 as far as i know.
That would do it for me, pure Wolfson experience, then find the best audio settings and ready to go.
Custom rom, agni kernel (with boeffla sound) + viper sound mod + neutron player
for me the best combination ever
Yeah. You are right.

I Personally would use Jet Audio as has alot of Audio tweaks which are awesome, I have used Different kernels and they do a great job especially with Eargasm turned on, as for VIPER or similar they are great but i found that they muffle the sound and reduce volume so i actually prefer it without and use Jet audio to edit my audio as for ROM well it depends on what you like and what Android version you want maybe try Sungsonic or Sensonic I personally use JellyKat with JetAudio and sounds great for me
I had the original Galaxy S, and also used the voodoo tweaks. The Note II sounds broadly very similar to my ears, it really is very good. No chance of driving my HD650s without an amp or anything, but the quality is great.
I'm still on an old ROM - Omega v18 with Perseus kernel. Easy to tweak the volume levels and access the HW equaliser for adding a notch of bass for the stock earbuds.
I need some help guys.
Hey guys so i am kinda newbie in this things,but i installed a lot of roms till now. By just folowing carefully step by step everything. Never messed up,ocasionally got some phones into a boot loop but managed to revive them. Also bricked a Nexus 4 but revived that as well. Anyway. My question for you guys is....how do i know if my Note 2 (n7100) Has the boeffla or as a matter afact ANY Sound mods installed on it ? All i know is i have this:
Android 4.4.2
Baseband N7100XXUFND3

And it wasnt rooted. But somehow it had TWRP installed on it. So i went for it and rooted straight away and first i tried installing Viper4Android 4 but it kept giving me error on installing via TWRP so i installed the old one (2.3 i guess) Witch sucks actually cus the sound is very ... distorted and un-natural. I cant seem to find any setting that would sound good and i wanna get the most out of my Note 2 on sound as i am a huge basshead. I`m frustrated cus i bought a pair of Monster DNA In ear,Skullcandy Ink`D,Skullcandy Smokin`buds Skullcandy 50/50 and Skullcandy Holua Wood. And none of them sound that good. (I thought with some good earbuds problem will be solved but NOPE).
So please .... Please guys have some heart and help me out...
I have pretty much tried DSP Manager, Viper Mod, Beats Audio Mod, Sony Clear Audio Mod, Noozxoide and so on. But from my experience I found the best combination is "Dolby Digital Plus" combined with manual "Audio improvement Mod" in default_gain.conf file itself. Without any distortion I can hear crystal clear notes even if they are very low on frequency. I am on Dr. Ketan V14 Rom, Music FX and Default Music Player. Its worth the try. Follow these 2 threads:
Step 1) Install Dolby Digital Plus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/themes-apps/dolby-digital-plus-note-2-t2918922
Step 2) Audio improvement for N7100 : (here you change the DAC values)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...io-improvement-n7100-break-vol-power-t3044738
Settings listed by Julian67 is more than enough, atleast for me. Good Luck.

i am using stock kernel and i realised that stock kernels are supersmooth in comparison to overclocked kernels....
the only thing i miss is voodoo sound...
so i m curious to know if i can apply voodoo patch on stock kernel somehow...?
does anybody know how to do that..?
On a related sidenote, can voodoo sound be added to CM7? And how is CM7 sound quality? (I'm using my phone mainly as a MP3 player)
I m also looking for the same.. I use it in kryillos rom it's great..want it in stock rom..

I thought that CM has DSPmanager that controls the sound of the speaker and headphones and where you can change bass treble EQ en such things for every sound produced by the phone or am I missing something
try voodoo control plus from market it needs root access to load voodoo onto ur stock kernel...
@above:
already tried that....
bt its not working..

Mate well compared to Froyo , Quality on CM7 Alpha 6 is out standing

@all:
don't ignore the thread starter... :-|
i hate when people ether lie or dont know what there talking about! for example..."people" say that sony's XLoud and be installed on ANY ROM! well from what i have learned and know about the android os as well as sony, this is Not true! the part that really gets me mad is that i have been looking for a way to fix the low volume Bug in ALL CM based roms for the xperia play. i cant stand having low volume, to me if a rom has low volume i dont want it! this is why i only use and create rom that are stock based because according to my research sony's xloud can can only work on a stock based rom with the correct information and certifications as a xperia device. installing any of those xloud zips will corrupt your rom and you have to reinstall it. figured this out the hard way MANY times! stay clear of them. i would really love to fix this issue for cm based roms but all of my attempts have failed, perhaps a much more skilled coder can fix this.
I Installed an xLoud mod (because i can) on my phone and it booted fine, but i can't tell if it worked because i have never used xloud and don't use my phone for music.

May i have a couple of detailes about your phone? which phone, what rom, what base (CM, stock or sony), what kernel what baseband what android version.
most of these details can be found in the Settings -> about phone
I used DSPmanager to boost my volume instead of xLOUD. I enabled bass boost and Acoustic equalizer and it works pretty well!

yea but i dont like dsp manager, it makes my speakers sound like there going to pop.+ the sound cracks and fades off to much
then you didn't configure it well...
Yeah, kernel and ROM needs to support cloud for it to work. But I should clarify some things for you.
xLoud only affects loudspeaker, not headphones.
CM has poor earphone gain because of DSP Manager, and not using legacy audio with prebuilt Sony drivers. You are right too, using DSP to amplify causes bad distortion. Its because FreeXperia use generic msm drivers and not Sony ones. Poor earphone volume always bothered me.
XLoud in Turbo UI sometimes drops out.
All these issues will eventually be fixed in my 4.1.2 source builds, because I am porting legacy audio in with the goal to make sound 100% identical to stock.

Which is silly really, I know for a fact that the kernel has to expose an xLoud audio device for it to do anything (so it doesn't work on non-Sony devices).

ahh so it DOES have to do with the kernel.. interesting
Ok, so I got the Note 2, with LTE. Great phone thus far. Had a few other android phones prior to this one, with those I would generally just run CM. But now I have my Stylus. And I love it!! Apparently CM is no good in regard to Stylus support.
I am also not very impressed with the sound quality with my earphones on the stock ROM.
What are the first steps to turn this phone into a even more awesome phone?
New ROMS? tips? Remember I want to keep my stylus and all of its great features.
Thanks! :good:
which earphones are you using? because the stock ones are pure trash. i've had no problems with audio quality on my N2. maybe just get poweramp and tweak the equalizer for what works for you?
You can start here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206868
Flash the Perseus kernel & enable the master sequence for near-perfect display calibration (Unless you really love the overly saturated signature Samsung look). Will also bring better performance, battery life, & sound quality, plus a host of other features. I use stock builds + Perseus & love it.

If your running the lte I recommend either deadmans or hashchecks custom roms. They both come with aroma installer and you can pick which mods you want. Im personally running deadmans with the perseus kernel acid audio engine with motomotoo theme. Looks cool and the screen calibration from perseus with acid sound is spot on

Do you use v4android in expert mode? Playback gain control at moderate x4 reverb on 10% damping 20% wet 80% dry. For bass dynamic system on common earphones v2 @2% the viper bass natural 100hz 3.5 db viper clarity HiFi 12 db. HiFi mode really brings out highs. Try using convolver for even more boost bbe is a loud effect. And use with DSP manager compression on moderate bass boost slight 125 hz. Make sure viper is in compatible mode and you do a restart....these are good in car settings. The output is tripled.
Fauxsound on Nexus 7 2013
I have just downloaded Fauxsound on my Nexus 7 2013, which has been successfully rooted. However it cannot work because it's not supported. Could anyone please help enable it. I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!
I'm verry dissapointed...
For this amazing device, I can't find any custom kernels up to date...
Perseus kernel is discontinued from april, same as all others kernels.
The newest kernel, based on the latest sources, is indie's kernel ( from omega), but this one is more like a stock kernel and the latest avaible is from 5.10.2014 from XXUGNI1 base.
The latest kernel dropped by samsung is from 18.10.2014, from XXUGNJ1.
Anyone knows any solution for custom kernel based on the latest updates from sammy ?
Wolfson / Vodoo / Boeffla sound engine is a myth for this device, powered by a fantastic DAC. ( even the DAC is inferior, my old S3 is blowing away my I9500, in terms of audio capabilities, with boeffla's sound engine, of coursel)
Very very sad... another mods like viper4android are jokes, compared to the truly wolfson drivers ( sampling to 44.1 khz, not to 48 khz)...
This problems are verry concerning, and i'm thinking to sell my device, and go back to my old s3.
Any advices, much much appreciated ! Thank's !
Flash CM.
Use DSP manager.
And I bet you'll go deaf if you use it to the max using Apollo. (And if you know how to equalize a bit or take my settings )

I'm not talking about volume.... i'm talking about sound quality.... defaut_gain.conf mod is enought for volume.....but the sound is not clear. the highs are not crisp, and overall sound is not like from a wolfson DAC...
thank's anyway.... ( btw, i'm using sennheiser ie80, and with volumes in default_gain at max 128, i can't listen from any player with more than half volume steps, because is loud enought )
That is what. Going deaf with awesome mods that the DSP manager gives.
Default_gain.conf is a normal method for just increasing the volume. Root browser and bang. Change 96-120 and be done.
Bass, treble etc etc can be used with DSP manager on CM based roms very efficiently and effectively.
I use a skullcandy. And i cannot uncrease the volume more than 2 steps when the DSP manager is on. The DSP has its own reputation.
Trust me I had issues with TW giving no support to the music quality. No play store app or anything works.
This has done wonders.

Alucard kernel is working with TW ROMs.
It allows quite some customizations via STweaks app.

Isnt Alucard just for the i9505.?
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Alucard kernel is only for I9505 ( qualcomm chipset) and it's not working for international Exynos chipset ( I9500 ).
For I9500 there is no suck a kernel, updated with the new sources from samsung

I know. I am one of those i9500 users who has nothing in the name of options
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
verry sad.... i found the I9500 still the best device on market, the only reason i'm thinking to switch to another terminal ( maybe S5 G900H) is the poor support form developpers., but speaking in terms of hardware, the I9500 is almost perfect. ( honestly, i like it more than S5) I'm angry to samsung beacause they made a verry bag implementation of wolfson drivers, an the upsampling to 48 khz is absolutely a MISTAKE. Unfortunately, there is no such a developper like lord boeffla, or supercurio who can resolve this major problem of the device, and bring to us, the best capable audio quality from DAC.
I don't switch to CM beacuse the camera is far not optimized as the TW camera. ( and btw, the gallery can't open a large image, like 50-70 MP; i didn't find any gallery app capable of doing this, except samsung tw gallery ).
Thank's for your time. Cheers !

Well I found DSP to be the best till date since my GALAXY R days.
Though I never had a thing for Cyanogen mod before using AOGP for my phone
Now I love Cyan
