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.

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.

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.

Or you could buy his paid App which you can continue using the stock kernel if you like. Much easier if you flash a kernel with support though. Using the kernel that supports it and free App works well.

No. Voodoo is not designed to save battery life. It only makes sound and color (SAMOLED) better. But flashing a kernel does help you save battery.
I use Netarchy's 1.3.7-CFS Kernel. Use that with Proton Voltage Control and undervolt with suggested (-20 across board) and you'll conserve some battery by doing that.

Is there any advantage to using a kernel with voodoo built in vs. stock kernel w/ root? eg. battery life, performance.

Well, most custom kernels will yield better battery life and performance than stock kernel based on how you set up your device.
For example, if you overclock, you would obviously get lesser battery life but better performance. But you can also underclock and tweak the voltages in order to get better battery life.
You just have to play with the setting - you may actually find that you will get both battery life and performance improvement with right setting.
With Voodoo color, you get to modify screen RGB colors to your flavor. You can try out some of the RGB values on the link below:

Voodoo sound modifies the built-in sound codec and makes your Nexus a great MP3 player!
However, you can't modify any setting with stock kernel.
You won't regret it. Go for it

Paid version can inject a module. Free version requires kernel support.
We're fairly close to kernel support I think. bedwa reimplemented the Froyo patches but there's some stuff in the commits that just looks a little... funky to LinuxBozo and I. (Not a problem Bedwa created, but actually indications that Voodoo Sound may not have been fully working in Froyo either...)
I'm testing it now, unfortunately I used that feature so rarely that other than the app indicating it's presence I don't know how well it's actually working.

Voodoo sound was only partially working on our original froyo port.... can't remember who did it, but compare to the Voodoo sound code in my froyo kernel source. Supercurio did the port himself and that one was fully working I think.

I'm 90% certain bedwa's commits were based on your v9 commit and bozo's v10 update commit.
And the "funkiness" LinuxBozo pointed out to me does exist in your tree - see https://github.com/gtg465x/linux_sgh-i997-hacked/blob/master/sound/soc/codecs/wm8994_voodoo.h - note that the #if defined stuff that causes NEXUS_S to get defined won't catch anything on our device - we're not sure if this is problematic or not.
I just tested it and it seems to be working, other than the "hack volume keys to change analog gain" thing seems a little funky, but this would be a userspace thing anyway.
At this point it seems as good as it was on the Froyo Defuse kernels which were based off of yours, so I've pushed it as a branch to the reference repo.
They volume keys hack seems a bit glitchy like you said. Other than that, I haven't had any issues. The beta version I got was from supercurio and seems to work fairly well... again I haven't written any sort of coding in years so I don't know about the details under the hood

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.

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.

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?

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.
