Hello,
I'm not new to the rooting and unlocking area but I am new to the Samsung S3. I've rooted a EVO 3D, HTC DNA, and a couple other phones and now I'm at this Samsung S3 (SCH-I535) Baseband I535VRUCML1 (after using ODIN because I had VRUCNC1). I've successfully rooted the phone using safer but I couldn't "safestrap" because my phone is encrypted.
Anyway. My question is I'm looking for an audio DSP or something like Beats Audio that will make all the audio on my phone enhanced without doing much (I don't know much about audio but I know these speakers aren't quite great). I did some research and I see a Beats Audio I could flash but I need a custom recovery. Well I can't add a custom recovery to my phone. I can get a program with enhancements while I play that I can adjust while the media plays but I'm looking for all audio whether it be from Pandora or my music player not just one source. My question is does such a think exist for a normal rooted phone without a custom recovery? It doesn't need to be a name brand it just needs to work.
Thanks,
Balask

There is no general section for android hadrware so i thought i'd ask here, since it's somewhat related.
I own both Samsung Galaxy S and Tab, and being what it it SGS can't record worth s**t. Only caller side can be recorded, which is a pity.
Tab wont be used for this, i havent even tried recording with it.
I used to record calls with my old HTC Touch Pro, no problems. For some reason SGS cant.
So, my question is: which of the highest tier android phones can reliably record both sides of conversation ? Not the speakerphone way, but properly, taking audio from internal hardware...
I'm about to renew my contract and i'd rather pick something that can be used as a recorder...
I don't think any android phone can at the moment.

Incorrect. MIUI ROMs have call recording built in.
MIUI for Galaxy S ? (UK)

NONSENSE. MIUI cannot make phones which can not by hardware record phone calls magically do so. IE: All or most HTC phones, and according to the OP, Samdung phones.
There are multiple apps out there for this functionality, but it will only record both sides of a phone call on a lot of phones if you use the speaker. It can't record the headset portion of the call, only that coming from the microphone.
well with the htc hero it is possible with a custom kernel
according to leedroid it is with a custom kernel possible with a Desire HD too, but not stable
Hey
There is a Chinese phone out there wich does have it stock. You can actually flash it on the galaxy s.
Don't know if you are afraid of flashing the phone, but darky s rom 9.3 has it integrated. It is still in beta though.
Look in the development section of the galaxy s forum. There is a callrecording topic wich explains it all.
Good luck

The HTC HD2 with almost any rooted rom will do it. The only problem is that if you make a call from the bluetooth using voice dial (or any 3rd party app) the audio is lost in the speaker or phone if you switch from bluetooth. The only way to ceoorect is to re-boot. Not very practicle, but perfect if you don't bluetooth voice dial.
Desire HD on CM7 nightly and LordMod kernel, see my signature.
Records both sides of the call. Some people report issues. My experience has been flawless.

After the update to stock 2.2 I noticed the headphone audio out is quieter than it was on stock 2.1. (Yes you can suggest a custom ROM but for my purposes I need to remain on stock). Has anyone else noticed this?
I've found several posts referring to the audio quality in 2.1 being low quality. Is there an audio specific kernel that controls the audio quality and output gain? If so, is it possible to change out only the audio kernel without flashing a custom ROM? As a heads up I'm already rooted.
Thanks in advance.

YES you can change the kernel to a different one but what ever kernel you decide you need a matching modem & Kernel so Cappy to Cappy...i9000 to i9000. Just keep in mind you need to change out your recovery.

Thanks SFernandez. I'll try this out when I get some free time. Gotta make sure the phone operates during business hours.
You can also search for the app "AudioBoost" on the market but it requires root permissions
I loved rooting my g1 and my mytouch slide 3g but i'm not sure if it's worth it with the sensation. i think the phone is great with the stock software and since it's already on 2.3.4, what are the benefits? it even has screen shot built in :/
please help!
The only thing that has me ever so slightly interested in rooting, is the Amaze camera mod, however I'm more inclined to sit tight and wait for an official update.
Having a Recovery based Backup through CWM and being able to backup with Titanium might be useful.
Also useful if you like removing bloatware.
.......
Mind you the phone works well as standard, so YMMV.
I like to root to have the newest updates.
In Swiss we had the problem that many branded Sensations had call problems (call aborted after one minute). A friend of mine had this problem, I with my rooted sensation not. So I rooted her device and flashed the newest Radio rom and the problem was gone...
You can also use the leaked Sense 3.5 Roms with a rooted phone ;-)
Look through all the threads in the development section and see all the things which you WONT get if you stay unrooted, all the things which you will miss out on, rooting gives you the ability to use programs which need lower level access than others, simply put you are missing out on a lot of features if you do not root, but hey no one has a gun to your head so make up your own mind, personally i find the whole rooting process worthwhile so i can flash custom roms and make my phone a better device to use.
The sensation on stock is a slow and underpar phone which could have been great, let down only by rushed development and poor handling of the code, if you flash a rom cooked up by one of XDA's dev's then you will see a huge difference in terms of performance and looks, there simply is no comparison.
Not rooted is like a computer but you are the user. While the rooted phone it acts like you are the admin you can do whatever you want to your precious phone.

I agree with all above.
I've rooted every android phone i've ever had, starting from the original desire.
It enables you to tinker with, and improve, on so many things. I also had incredible heat with my sensation on stock. I rooted it and it stopped.
I wouldn't even ponder the thought of keeping an android phone stock anymore.

But again if you need to ask...you No need to root
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
after root & unlock i have Bluetooth sound quality issues ....any suggestions ? thx
Did you flash a ROM? Simply rooting and unlocking should have no impact on that.

tried couple different rom's right now i'm on clean rom
What do you mean by sound quality issues? Like is there a lot of noise, sound distorted, low volume, etc?
I'm on CleanROM Developer Edition 3.1.1 and I'm having no BT sound issues and I use it in my car with a Samsung BT adapter (with Apt-X)
obvious troll is obvious
thanks , i switch to clean rom 4.0 an everythings run nice now , before everybody on the other end was complaining about sound quality ...
I just got my first android phone, the inspire 4G, and after some problems with temproot (which i finally found a fix to) got it perm rooted. Anyway i installed the unofficial CM 10.1 JB rom, and copyed my music to my 8GB msd card using adb push from PC (dont have a card reader yet...) anyway, using apollo, while the low end sounds about normal through my earphones, the louder mid ends and all high ends sound really tinny and harsh...and this is comping from compressed MP3s from itunes on an old iphone. I didnt even expect BETTER sound but i at least expected the same, but its impossible to listen to my music the way it sounds right now.
I found a beats audio installer for root in the play store, but IDK if it works for this rom yet and i dont really have the space to make a backuip of the rom right now. (getting my 16 GB card in a few days).
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. what can be done to rectify this? its definitely not the music files that sound fine on my PC or my earphones that worked fine with my iPhone (which died spectacularly and i never want another again, especially seeing how open a rooted android is)-and they work fine with my PC too.
So what do you guys think? id post it in the CM thread but you need 10 posts apparently to post in development.
EDIT: just to make sure its clear, this is sound quality through my HEADPHONES, not complaints of the cheap built in speaker.
Non GB sense roms have this issue on the inspire. The best you can do is flash inspiremod 5 but even then it won't sound the best it could. If you are really into listening to music then just stick with sense gingerbread roms. Some may not agree but I can always tell the difference in sound quality.

Sounds like what im gonna do. no toys get between me and my music no matter how cool.
Would be nice to hear of some attempts to fix it, but right low looks like im back to gingerbread.
flashed android revolution 7.1, and sound quality is fantastically better. thanks!
I am using the mod and haven't noticed a huge degrade except when listening to really high quality mp3s. I think it is listenable. I have never used quality head phones, are you using regular ones or a nice pair?
