So my wife wants her Inspire as stock as possible, but she wanted bloat removed and it rooted. So I installed the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372&highlight=2.47.502.7rtdx
Just the latest AT&T GM ROM rooted and bloat removed. Her radio, ril, and software:
Radio - 12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M
RIL - 2.2.0160HM
Software - 2.47.502.7rtdx
What kernel would you recommend? She complains about the sound some and I saw some kernels have fixes. I can't seem to find a kernel that is made for the stock ROM. She doesn't want a ROM so I'm leaving her phone alone as much as possible, just looking for a solid kernel with as much speed/stability as possible hopefully with the audio fix.
TIA

If you're going to use the stock ROM then you should probably stick with the stock kernel. However, if you're feeling adventurous you can try a Lordmod Sense kernel (post #2), or LeeDroid kernel. These kernels are great for custom Sense ROMs and come highly recommended, but I've never seen anyone mention using using them on the stock ROM. Be sure to make a nandroid backup first, in case you end up in a boot loop or you want to revert back to stock kernel.
Regarding the "audio fix" you're talking about...I don't know if you're going to see much improvement with a different kernel, but it's worth a shot. The Inspire doesn't have particularly great audio (especially if your wife is coming from an iPhone or something else with good audio). Lordmod does boost the volume a bit, if that is her complaint. Let us know your results either way.
2.6.35.10 is the stock kernel. Browse the development forum for kernels based off of this. Any of these should work. You will have to play with them to see what works best for you. The kernel that is in her Rom has the nesessary sound files. If you want it to just be louder than there are some kernels that boost sound, but as far as quality, this is as good as it gets.

Hello all, quick question kinda new to posting, a bit shy. but i know my way around android, has anyone notice bluetooth pairing issues on this rom. Work on my car's radio but only for phone, no media connection. and when i tried it on my stereo bluetooth headset, it comes up with an error stating that wrong pairing code. Any light on this issue would be appreciated or if im the only one having this problem. PS: its never happened on any other ported rom, and i came from Revelations rom and it was working perfectly. (the bluetooth).

Thanks for the quick reply, and yes its from the port posted by Gosooners, i believe though he didn't put the linux bozo kernel inside the rom because afterwords i flashed with sgs kernel flasher the Linux bozo kernel and booted with the galaxy s boot animation. if i hadn't flash the linux bozo kernel it would have booted with an AOSP boot animation.
Thanks again for the quick response. have you tried paring any of your own bluetooth devices?

LinuxBozo's kernel is not necessary for a port. Most of the ports I've done, I used either the Infusion kernel or Entropy's DD. I didn't see a link for GamerzRom v9 Ninja Edition. I don't use BT so I haven't tested it.

Please remember this, everyone, this is just an early release build based on the patch made for Galaxy tab 10.1 and I have ported it to Galaxy R directly without patching any codec code yet.
However, from what I can tell, the sound really does better than before and everything should be stable (I have already been running the patch for 5 hrs continuously , no SOD / kernel panic @ all, however further patch may be made later as I sometimes hear jit delay on the device).
So now I hang in the new kernel for you guys to test with.
How to install it :
Just down the file attached (boot.tar.zip) and then extract it.
Open odin v1.85 and then force the phone into download mode.
Choose the extracted file boot.tar.md5 as the bootloader file.
Click on start
Please REMEMBER this kernel does NOT have CWM, Overclock and other stuffs at the moment. It ONLY has official stock kernel + voodoo sound.
It is only used as a preview for the voodoo sound. You take your own risk for flashing it. However you can always report any bug in this thread as you want.
How to uninstall it :
Just select a kernel and then place it into your bootloader again. However your voodoo sound may be lost.
For kernel developer, the source code is located here :
https://github.com/UnknownzD/I9103_CHN_KERNEL (branch master)
So if you want to get the code works on your own kernel, you can always port to your own kernel as you want. But remember to thank supercurio for his big contribute. In addition, this is an old driver only as supercurio has said he will release a new pre2 driver later so please keep an eye for the announcement by supercurio in the future. (I am just too anxious to see what voodoo sound does and ported it on my own in 2 days, however that doesn't really mean something as 99% of the code are written by supercurio)
Credits goes to supercurio, however don't blame on supercurio if you found any bad thing occurs. This is because he is not the one who in charge on the source code or who suggested that directly porting the code from Galaxy tab 10.1 may work, but just I do.
btw, I will try to enable 2 way recording in the next build.
thanks for this bro but we'd love it if you used the ardatdat kernel 1.6, It's got everything and a CWM flashable zip would be better...

I know, thats why I am working on merging CWM into my own kernel now. In addition, I have sent a pm (as well as a request) to ardatdat so that he will know about it in the following days and may integrate the patch as well.

Based on what I test with my Westone 1 in-ear monitor, the patch should work flawlessly (epic audio quality now), however it still requires some tests for the duration of the FM radio part and the phone part. I didn't have time to test out all the things for a long time yet.
From what I have tried, audio quality is great after patch. FM radio part is working, the phone part is also working as well. However please help me as further test the kernel by either making Skype call for a long time or using FM radio part for a night.
****KKKINNNNNG AWESOME SOUND QUALITY NOW <3
amazing
just flashed this kernel, and what i hear with monster beats by dr dre was unbelievable i have never heard this superb quality output from my sgr. tested with stock headsets also gives awesome sound.
but by flashing this kernel DOWNLOAD COUNTER INCREASES WITH A YELLOW TRIANGLE ON BOOT . and one more thing USB TETHERING is not working, while cable is connected, device says no usb connected and cannot enable tethering using usb cable
req, if this patch will be merged with ardatdat's kernel than it will become a perfect kernel kindly look after this if anything is possible.
a big thanks, i will tell if i found other bugs.
EDIT: i have tested this on xwla4, can it creates prob as u said this one is based on zcla1's stock kernel?

This is the reason that I have purchased the phone. This is because I can see the full potential of it after doing OC + voodoo sound patch. btw I am using XWLA4 (Australian 3) firmware as well, however I don't have the issue that you have mentioned. btw if you want to get rid of that count, use the repair script in this forum please. However for the yellow triangle, I have a USB JIG to get rid of it so I can continue to use this kernel for my daily usage

Good news - I have successfully merged Voodoo sound to v1.6 kernel
Will release later the v1.7 kernel with Voodoo sound. Stay tuned!
** The sound quality is really great !!!!! Wowo! I cannot imagine how great is the base and dynamic sound range that Galaxy R could provide before this patch!

Well that is because Galaxy R is using WM8994 DAC chip is a high-end product manufactured by wolfson for top-class DVD player.
btw if you want to build a kernel, I would recommend you to build it as 1.7b1 first as I may have some more patches put on the kernel src later.
btw if you can upload your latest kernel src to git, I guess I can work on more patches as I have found that it is possible to OC several things that didn't enable in your old kernel github src. So if you can give me the read access for your kernel src (or just give the read access for everyone to encourage more people working on I9103), I can test on making more patches out.

actually I have a private CWM recovery image built by a dev from CM team, however he told me not to release it unless I have tested all the functions of it. Tonight I may be making a rom on my own (yes I have my custom init.d script + build.prop which was used in I9003 before).
btw the CWM version that I have atm is the latest one ... 5.0.X.X

Yeah i ran official GB for a long time before switching to CM7. I dont mess with custom roms besidides stock CM, no one makes their own roms any more they just take CM and customize i think iv seen one or 2 ROMs that wernt just CM rips and they are not being updated any more its sad but what can you do. I wont switch back to stock because i love the T15 kernel and all the custom options in cm, i forgot how much i missed the black background messenger.
I am currently using Owain's Domination ROM v.77 w/new baseband and bluetooth audio is working just fine. That said, Owain just released v.78 and there are a number of bugs (bluetooth and wi-fi among them). I am sure he will have them addressed in no time with a fix all update but if you decide to go the route of Domination I would choose v.77 which is a really nice ROM for daily use. My battery life using Harsh's kernel is amazing!!
Update: Was working fine. Now my BT sounds like crap.
Hi i am currently using Cm12 Nightly 5.0.3 030315, With cm stock kernel. When i play audio thru my car Bluetooth it skips after ever 5 to 10 sec. If i watch video, the audio is delayed. The audio works perfect on regular bluetooth headset. The troubleshoot i did fix this problem so far.
Tried ever build after 02/21 till now still same thing.
I tried custom kernel like franco and elementalx. Did changes in hotplug while using franco kernel. Change Processor setting to performance under cyanogenmod. I have been trying find the fix but with no luck. The only thing that works is if i go back to cm11. Once i do that everything is normal.
Side Note, Every time i installed the Rom it was clean install.
Any help is appreciate at this moment. Thanks in advance.
No such issue here. Try full wiping and then reflashing CM.
thanks for reply. I did that several time. But with no luck. Any other suggestion ??

I recently had BT issues on CM12 and I do think that's a rom issue. Other users also reported bugs with BT.
Flash every nightly until the fix comes or switch to another custom rom for the moment.

I have the same problem with a 32GB nexus 5 and the recent cm12 nightlies, I have found a dozen or so forums/pages about the problem but nothing that seems to help. I have tried flashing different radio.img file and different kernels, the problem only happens in my car, my bluetooth headphones and everything else works fine. My car can take phone calls but not play back music/audio from anything without skipping every 5-10 seconds for ~1 second
That's because CM team still don't get, that it's better to start building a house from the ground, then from the roof. It's a kernel related issue.
