Hey guys, Im semi new to android phones and hacking them. Ive been looking for a way to amplify the volume (aux out or headphones) of my galaxy s. I drive alot and so plug it into my cars headset. Ive been looking at other methods of how to do this but most require flashing voodoo and voodoo sound or something. Not knowing how/ wanting to flash my galaxy yet, is there anyway to do this without?
Your help would be appreciated.
Of cause if the only way is to flash i will look into it.

But you loose quality, it is software enhanced sound which means it distorts sooner. With voodoo its different, its taking advantage of the inbuilt hardware.. The wm8994 amp inside the phone is very powerful and capable of driving high end headphones that normally require an external amp, for some reason samsung gimped it when the released the phone.. But voodoo fixes that and gives you a much better music experience. Louder but without loss of quality.. It also has improvements for the mic as well.

I agree with St4ark. Flash either voodoo or speedmod kernal and download voodoo control app from the market. The difference is amazing.

I havent tried voodo sound, but generally speaking, If its louder it can't be better quality.
HP volume is too much on the galaxy for my hearing, I just wish it could have more volume steps like 20 or 30 instead of 15.
In the night even on the 1 volume is too much.

Audio boost app on mkt. Boosts the same way voodoo does by upping internal amp setting. Don't need to flash but do need to be rooted.

Hey guys thanks for all the help. ill try out audio boost first. I have rooted, and used oclf (one click lag fix) on my phone. Im not sure if i want to put voodoo on it. Does voodoo fix the messege lag?
the new voodo has mic settings which audioboost doesnt so you can "finally" record at a concert with decent sound.
also if you dont want to muck with your lag stuff (vodoo kerenel) take a look at hardcord kernel.. many more options than voodoo.. i am
using it and it has back light notification support, lagfix (off by default) and voodoo latest sound support among other stuff.

Yup it changes file system to ext4 which is faster than rfs, so lag is reduced.
Also flashing it with odin is pretty easy, but be sure to read up on it before doing it because if you check the wrong box you can have problems..
Be sure you have 3 buttons mode working before you do any sort of customising though.
Thanks for the info st4rk. I appreciate it.If i were to flash though, id use the reboot method, cause i dont have a windows computer in my house. (Only linux and freebsd). Which means id have to install the 3 button restart. Just a question though, do i have to uninstall my lag fixes before flashing? and does voodoo use the 512 meg of ram? What quadrant standard score should i expect? im running at like 1500 atm. thanks for the help
u’d better try the newest speedmod kernel
or voodoo,both of them can meet your request
sorry, which request?
Try 3rd party MP3 player called PowerAMP. It has an Equalizer with one of the preset modes called: Phone Speaker (Loud). It makes the audio out really loud without any system modifications . Just found out about it.
My power amp trial ran out. it made the speaker louder but not the head phones
It definitely does the head phones louder as well. Just tested it again.
oh, maybe i wasnt using it right? dam
Hello
First 10x to all the developers bless you.
got my x8 with ROM stock 2.1 record some videos and voice and was very happy overall the mic gain was good and clear and pic was good,
Then install ROM Gingerdx record some videos and voice and notise that the mic
gain volume are way lower then the stock 2.1 and video not as smooth like stock 2.1 , to me its BIG problem..... did someone else notise it?
p.s new phone didnt fell if i reverse to stock 2.1 mic gain normal
2.1 is very smooth video and mic gain
but 2.3 is very poor perfomance
ask some devs why 2.3 camera poor
I think it is because it is so difficult to just get the camera even to work in 2.3 at all.. I think (I may be wrong) only dx has managed to fix the camera, the other devs use his code or help to do it on their roms.
Maybe with Sony Ericsson acknowledging the freexperia devs and releasing some libs we may see other camera code in the near future??!!
Hi do you mean that if i move to 2.2 custom ROM (Froyobread)
it will fix the camera problems (mic gain)????
Me and my friend both have a galaxy s both running jw4 and his phone is louder when playing the same songs....only difference is im on semaphore kernel and on his phone everything is stock..Any ideas why its like that?
bump please :/
Is he/are you running some sort of Sound Eqaulizer to improve sound qaulity (for Jacks &/or Speaker)?
no but his music EQ is set to custom and everything is max...i do the same and his is still louder...but they were the same loudness when i flashed them to new firmwares
could it be semaphore thats causing this?
Hello people. I have a small problem and I hope someone can halp me. My phone ( s5570i ) sounds really quiet and I don't know how to make it louder. I am using STOCK ROM and for the moment I tried DSP manager ( but it force close ).
What audio engine or what app should I use to obtain a louder sound in my speaker?
Has it been that quiet always since you bought it?
If not, if it only happens sometimes, try rebooting. I had it sometimes that for example music came out of the phoning-speaker instead of the big one. Rebooting solves this.
If not, I dont know what u could do

On stock it sounds very quiet. With custom ROM ( some custom roms ) it sound loud. Don't you know an engine, audip engine, app etc.. that is compatible with this phone?
Hmm... no, i don't know any. Anyone else?
Hi all, thanks for any help you guys can provide, I have a 4.3.1 on slimbean w/TWRP recovery, Ive read around on threads some issue w/the noise cancelling secondary mic causing issues on the HO. Ever since I rommed to slimbean, (i dont think i was having issues before on stock) my playback sounds have been very low/poor, things like fb have to be max cranked up to hear, through the phone speakers same + i hear crackling. I think its low on the sound memo recordings too but i have no phrame of ref. Wondering if any one has suggestions of what can be done before i decide to revert to stock UI or try a different rom, kinda sorta like this slim rom or maybe im just used to it, im humbled by your alls knowledge and hope i can contribute back in the future...
