Hi all:
I have the Bionix rom on my infuse. I see that the dev mentions the romhaving Voodoo built in, but does that also mean Voodoo sound? Is voodoo sound end user adjustable? I cant find anyone talking about it. I really only want to boost the top end volume. I want to listen to RUSH at concert level
A little help would be nice.
Thanks,
Glenn

I believe all of the Froyo ROMs have Voodoo Lagfix AND Sound.
VS will allow you to boost headphone volume but not speaker volume.
Check out galaxy tuner in the maket. It will boost volume for headphones and the external speaker.

I installed Voodoo Control and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the help.

I was wondering if there was a way to make the Transformer louder without rooting.
I have Volume + installed but that doesn't do anything.
I have a few films that I would like to watch but the tube is too noisy for me to hear them
The Voodoo control helps a bit (increases the max volume) - You need the clemsyn kernel (and root) before it works though. As I said - it helps a bit - but you will never run a disco off the TF101 output.

Or you could actually support the dev and use the paid version which works with stock kernels
Just FYI.
Volume+
This Application is ONLY for phones running Gingerbread.
It will NOT work on any other version of Android but should work on ANY phone running Gingerbread (2.3).
I have the free version of Voodoo control but I only have options for earbud/line-out boosting. I'm running ARHD which is supposed to have the most up to date Clemsyn kernel.
I'd purchase the paid version if I had confirmation that I would have boost options for the standard side speakers, since I use my pad at work and it can get noisy when I'm trying to hear something.

Anyone else have some suggestions?
I use equalizer in the app store, put all the controls to max and the volume is a bit better. Nothing gets the volume up too much but if you root your device you can then change the cfg file to increase the volume a little more and balance the speakers if that is a problem for you also.
I have my tf rooted just for this reason, everything else is stock. Hope that gets you better volume

This is not true - I run Volume plus on my Transformer running Honeycomb 3.2.1 - no issues. Works great.

Can you give more details about editing the cfg file, location, line etc? TIA
MX Player has option to increase volume to 200% if you set HW+ renderer, maybe that'll help?
hi, i used to have a G2 running CM7, recently got a MT4GS (Doubleshot) and was using CM9 on it, but didn't like the camera app, i loved the stock sense camera app on the MT4GS, just don't want the bloatware. so after some googling, i have found VIRTUOUS INFINITY to fit my needs with a stockish feel, but sleeker/quicker.
only thing i've come across that keep this rom from being a homerun, is the speakerphone volume is really really low... is there a fix for this yet? i am running the latest beta with OTA updater.
also, when using instagram, the "blur" effect, causes artificats in the blurred area.
once again, only real gripe i have is the ridiculously low sound i get from speakerphone when on the phone... like literally, the headset speaker is louder then the speakerphone at full volume.
love the rom otherwise, camera works great, and i don't need 1080p recording, perfectly happy with 720p.
Hi! Are you talking about the incall volume? If yes I have made a patch for this already which fixes a couple of bugs. And one of them is the in call volume.
Here's a mirror made by the great WeekendsR2Short who just got his mirror thread stickied now.

Just flash it above the current virtuous infinity ROM you have and clean the dalvik cache.

hi, i appreciate the quick reply. i am referring to the actual speakerphone volume. i was on CM9 for a few hours, and know the speakerphone was loud enough to hear over the radio while driving. after i i went to V.I., the speaker phone volume sucks, but i am loving the rom... small compromise, but was hoping there was a fix, as in my little google efforts showed others have experienced the same thing.
i havn't tried the patch you linked me, i have used the Sound Enhancer Patch.zip from the same stickied thread though. hoping that would be the solution i was looking for, it seemed to increase the speakerphone volume slightly, but nowhere as loud as it was with CM9 or stock rom.
thinking of trying bulletproof right now, i see lots of praise on that rom too.

just tried the patch you linked me to in your reply. that fixed my problem! thanks a lot! my speakerphone is now as audible as it once was! i didn't try the all in one patch, i just tried the sound enhancer one. my problem is solved now.
i will post back with any updates, hopefully phone stays stable, i noticed after i installed the soundenhancer patch, while making a phone call and putting it on speaker to try it out, i was having the phone turn off on me, or OS crash, not sure. going to revert to backup i made in nandroid, and just apply the patch you linked me too. once again, thanks for the help!
I made both the sound enhancer patch and the all in one patch. The sound enhancer patch is buggy and I made a 2nd version of that. And after sometime I compiled all the fixes I made to VI into that all in one patch.

that explains why the sound enhancer patch didn't work then, i should have just did the AIO from the beginning.
ok, new problem i am trying to figure out, but while i got you on here....
my wifi won't turn on now. lol. was working fine earlier. it is stuck saying "turning on" and the checkbox is grayed out to off. was just gonna do a clean re-install of everything, but if you have an idea of how to fix that...

You need to replace the old kernel with the one included in the patch.
Judging by your problem I'm sure your S-On so what you should do is..
extract boot.img from the patch
then fastboot it into your phone.
The new kernel there fixes some other bugs which you might encounter soon so better flash it now rather than later. Else if you insist using the old kernel just replace the bcmdhd.ko in your /system/lib/modules with the one from the original VI flashable zip.

oh ok, makes sense. i had thought it was same kernal. and that i could just flash over rom. ill fast boot the patch kernal in then.
ill do that right now.
and yea, i am s-on, ill look into s-off this weekend. being able to flash from one different roms without having to fastboot through pc first would be a fun way to kill time. lol.
once again, thanks for the quick replies and help. you've been a great help. :good:
I prefer being s-on though but it's your choice. And yeah my device is s-on also.

well, maybe s-off isn't quite needed then, since i'm not quite a developer that will always be flashing new roms on. just trying to have fun with the phone when i can.
anyway, just wanted to report back that phone is running flawlessly now with new kernal and patch, camera is slightly cripser, less lag while multitasking, speakerphone nice and loud, and loving the new battery profiles.
i appreciate the quick help in getting my problem resolved. :good::highfive:
Speaking of camera apps, mattlowry found one for us that works GREAT in this ROM. It adds quite a few more settings that really adds some finetuning abilities for your pictures. If you haven't already, you ought to flash this attachment.....IMHO.

was this included in the unoffical_patch.zip?
i had this flashed onto my phone already, but reverted back to original backup, and flashed the unofficial_patch onto my phone, assuming it had the upgraded camera app too.
if i am mistaken, then ill go ahead and flash that camera app back on.
thanks for the info. :highfive:
edit- just re-read the section in your sticky. will flash the camera app back on. realized it wasn't included in the AIO patch.
:good: It adds enough that I certainly was glad Matt found it.
so i've been using the phone for about a week with no issues.
rather then starting a new thread, i thought i'd post some questions up in here. since i can't post in the developer thread for the rom.
just to confirm, panoramic picture doesn't work? and slow motion video doesn't work? just tried messing with those settings today, but app would just close. just wanted to make sure it wasn't working to begin with and not a faulty install on my part.
i was looking to buy a new battery, but noticed the phone has a 1800mhz battery from an evo 3d. my girlfriend said she bought it, because the original battery was really bad. is there a better battery upgrade for me than the 1800mhz? i notice battery life is great when not using the phone, but as soon as i start browsing the net, or listening to music, it sees the battery drains almost a percent every few minutes. is there an app or way to test health of a battery?
also, for the launcher/app drawer, is there a way to make the apps scroll vertically versus horizontally?
and while i'm asking questions, anyone have a recommendation for a mobile video editing app? something easy to trim clips, and add transitions, and maintain HD quality.
other then these few questions. i'm loving the phone and rom. been real stable besides the aforementioned things. it still has artifact glitching when using the blur tool in instagram, but that i can live with.
thanks in advance for any insight/help. :highfive::good:

Panoramic picture is a framework issue so downloading a 3rd party camera which doesn't depend on htc framework should work. And regarding slow motion video it's a kernel issue. Virtuous team never really focused on fixing the kernel to fix up it's compatibility(this includes 1080p recording) so we maybe having a decent sense 4 ROM but we got a crippled kernel.

It's a sense 4 thing. Better of using a different launcher instead or fully modify the layout of the rosie.apk. But I can't do it.

I'd love an update to this ROM!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
thanks for the reply! i will download that app for video editing, and find one for panoramic pictures.
i just downloaded cpu tuner, and set my clock sped to roughly 1.5ghz, phone is nice and snappy, real responsive, feels like a brand new phone. is this a safe stable range to clock at (1.5ghz)? or should i run lower, it was only at 1ghz, and i was reading that some roms actually set the kernal clock speed at 1.7ish... ill probably turn it down to 1.3ish, hopefully for better battery life and overall longevity of phone.
and whats a good minimum clock speed? was unsure what it meant, but i think its basically the resting clock speed when phone isn't in use?

My phone will get a bit freaky at 1.7gHz if I run it too long. My basic range is 192mHz to 1.5gHz all day everyday. I have yet to need 1.7gHz when 1.5gHz works for everything I need it to.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
@sbdags - Any benefits to using bravia engine or the sound mod (I think it is called loud and clear?) when using your roms? I have tried them in previous flashes, but I never noticed any improvements. I am not sure of any way to tell if they are actually providing me improvements.
My setup - TF700T - CROMI-X 4.7 with _Thats 4 and latest crossbreeder patch (7/2) installed.
Thank you in advance - I wanted to ask you directly since I value your opinion highly because of the excellent quality of your ROM.

Hi guys,
I've been with stock on my TF700 for the past 9 months, until I realized how slow it was.
Then I found this forum last week and CROMi-X and never been happier.
But I wanna ask you guys something. I've compared the display quality with the Nexus 4, and I noticed that the white colors of my Asus is a bit yellowish, and this impacts on movies. They became darker than normal and its difficult to see those dark parts.
I tried the Bravia 2 Engine to see if makes some difference but I had the same experience of you.
I also tried some Apps like Screen Adjuster. I managed to elevate de Blue color and was somehow better, but it impacts in performance.
I wanna know if you have any suggestions to correct de color, or gamma of my TF700 whitout causing impact on performance.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian.

Hey guys, Ive been really disappointed how low the maximum headphone sound is, especially if you are using equalizer in Spotify. Is there any way to increase it without installing custom rom or kernel? My phone is rooted. On galaxy note 2 I used to modify config_gain or something like that, can I do the same on S6? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
Install hacker kernel which has sound mod. The difference is day and night for me. Awesome sound. Gets fairly loud also slightly emphasizes lower frequencies I feel.
