[Q] Voodoo Stock Kernel

Hello all
I have tried netarchys new kernels, all versions and I appear to be one of the poor unfortunates who's NS will just not be rushed (overclocked).
I had netarchys 1.1 running for a bit, before the usual freezes and reboots and the sound quality was awesome.
Is there a stock rom for the Nexus S with the voodoo tweaks?

Supercurio tweeted something about it yesterday or the day before, but I believe it was about one with his new sound improvements.
You're not looking for the original kind of voodoo fixes (aka lag-fix) are you? There is zero lag on this phone, and the filesystem is already ext4 and yaffs2...no RFS (the original reason for voodoo) on this baby.

Hi Distort...

This gives you the details...
Voodoo sound driver

Currently there is no stock Kernel with Voodoo sound. Morfic from Team Whiskey says he's working on adding Voodoo sound to some of his Trinity kernels so you might want to keep your eye on that thread. I believe he currently has an UV1ghz with Voodoo but it's for CM. What rom are you running? You may also want to try Netarchy Nexus - 1.2.1 instead. My phone didn't like 1.1 very much either but seems to work great on 1.2.1.

Ah, there it is. Voodoo's too big an umbrella now...too many things going on with it and confusion over what is and isn't voodoo any more unless people say like "voodoo sound".
I skimmed over that netarchy post, but missed the sound tweaks part. I'm not interested in overclocking this phone, it's fast enough without the risks/issues, but the voodoo sound will be exciting if it's as good as supercurio says it is. I should probably try one of the i9000 kernels with it on my i9000.

Distortedloop I can say it's all that supercurio says plus some. Make sure to download his app from the market to control it as well.

I'll look into adding his patches to a stock kernel in the next few days if that's what you're looking for.

I'd be very interested in a stock 2.3.2 kernel with the voodoo sound tweak also. My phone dosent like either of the netarchy kernels.

Morfic has now implemented Voodoo sound into a few of his Trinity kernels. You may want to check them out. Maybe your phone will like those better.

Looks like morfic put out a stock kernel with these modifications already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893851

Bass Boost options? like CM7 for 2.2.1

Anyone know of any kernels or options for 2.2.1 to have an awesome bass boost option, similar to CM7? I love CM7 but want to wait for more fixes until a daily driver so an optimized 2.2.1 is perfectly fine with me.
I liked a scalable menue- light, moderate or heavy or something of the like.
Thanks all!

If you are running custom rom, try Voodoo control app from supercurio if you haven't tried already. I'm sure you won't disappointed. Also, what music app you are using? If it's stock, you won't get great sound, try Power Amp from the market.
I hope that helps you.

I agree regarding Power Amp. Good equalizer and bass & treble options.

Yah, I am running Power Amp off the eXistZ Cappy Kernel #7, and it helps the sound/bass out alot.
If your going from stock to this start low on yer volume.. I forgot and almost blew my ears apart

Much more intuitive than stock app.

If you run a custom rom, the kernel will most likely have voodoo sound patch included.
All you need to do is install Galaxy tuner from the market. That will let you customize varios parameters of your phone including bass boost and 3D sound.

Imoseyon kernel link?

I love his kernel, only part I don't care for is the preinstalled overclock. Voodoo Color is nice though :]
edit: Heres the download http://cl.ly/9BnL/imoseyon_leanKernel_voodoo_0.13.6.zip

Do I install this through Odin or CWM?

CWM. Just "install zip from SD card"
Just FYI, this is already in Gummy2.0, so if you're on that ROM then you are on this kernel.

Overclock is not enabled by default. The kernel allows you to oc up to 1.4ghz with voltage control or a similar app. If you don't like it don't use it.

The way the changelog is phrased it seems like it's overclocked by default, not only that but when I started up Voltage Control for the first time the advanced section was up to 1400, general was 1000mhz though. Overclocking confuses me.

Yeah apparently he's got voodoo color on it that's why the colors look different than IMNUTS' kernel. In fact, here's a quote from the man himself.
imnuts said:
It will work, though it wasn't a simple edit as the files that are changed didn't have all the same methods the files that voodoo color has and makes changes to. Imoseyon seems to have gotten at least some of the voodoo color changes built into the kernel though.

This is so awesome! Finally the colors look correct instead of way oversaturated !!!
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Agreed! Also, according to what imnuts' said(unless I'm misinterpreting) that's not even the full Voodoo Color, so we can look foward to an even better version in the future :] Voodoo Color was made for Super Amoled and not SAmoled+ so that's why he can't just copy it over.

Did anyone take pictures of their Charge before/after voodoo color?

I read over at the Gummy 2.0 thread something about IMoseyOn's kernel not having support for HDMI output. I don't have a cable, I just ordered it, but can anyone confirm.

If it's true you can expect it to be fixed by the time your cable arrives.

I've had no issues with the HDMI out on this kernel. Used it to watch Netflix this morning on the big screen and it worked perfectly. I'm not using gummy, i'm on humblecomb. Perhaps it's a gc issue and not the kernel.

FYI about Voodoo Color: the color-correction only kicks in at 100% brightness, so if you're like most people and leave auto-brightness on, don't expect colors to look better because the calibration won't be in effect.
Super AMOLED+ also has much less of an inherent blue tint than Super AMOLED did, so I'm not even sure the difference is very noticeable at full brightness.
What would make a definite difference are the text sharpening enhancements (the Charge still applies an overly aggressive sharpness filter, much like the Galaxy S), but since text is far more accurately sharp on the + to begin with due to the loss of Pentile I can't really tell if that's active in this kernel.
So, bottom line: Voodoo Color was made for the screen on the original Galaxy S, and ours is a good deal different (and improved)... so don't expect it to make a huge difference like it did on the Fascinate. If/when supercurio makes a new Voodoo Color implementation specifically for the Galaxy SII, then we may see more of an improvement (but again, never as much as with the original Galaxy S because our screens are just better to begin with).

It's a huge difference. Colors went from oversaturated to balanced. White looks white instead of blue.

So just curious, I flashed this kernel and voltage control still says it's incompatible with my kernel. Also, when using any cpu app, it still shows my max as 1000mhz.
For the record I didn't get a wipe when I flashed it using cwm.

{Q}Kernel Question

I notice that alot of the modded or alternate kernels have oc/uv capabilities, but I was wondering if thats built into the kernel, or that just means its capable with an app.
Basically if I fiash the kernel, is it overclocked from stock, or it just has the capability.
thanks

UNderVolting, opinions, apps?

I'd just like to know your opinions on it, does it save battery, performance? What app do you use? Btw, i know that there is no best app, i am just asking for an opinion so dont flame...lol

It works well for me. Seems to extend battery life. I use oc/uv beater or incredicontrol depending on the ROM.
You have to try and find the lowest voltage where the ROM is still stable under load.

Undervolting saves battery by the pure fact that your CPU gets less power dissipation. How much battery - depends on the setup, the CPU isn't the only power-hungry device in the system. If you use a lot of screen, by reading, for example - undervolting won't help you much. On the other hand, it'll help your standby time, it'll somewhat reduce the heating of the phone and save the battery this way, etc.
OC/UV beater for me, too.

I'll try out oc uv beater. Is it on Google play? Can't seem to find it, otherwise I'll just get it off of a rom or something

No reason to. It was meant to control kernel options, using the clock and voltage scalers built into kernels, and not to set the options in runtime like SetCPU.
