As you all know stock SGS had a crapy sound as well as recording sound quality issues.
Did someone was considering writing something similar for O2x to improve sound/enable loundness?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080090
Look there I use it on the cm7 nightlies, the volume is amazing now!
still i am on mcr due cm7 is not as much stable and have some battery life issues
Voodoo Sound was a specially-written driver for the incredible audio processor that the sgs used (but Samsung underutilised).
I don't think the OP2X has a similar quality chip, so a software solution would be less than ideal... But I'm happy to be proven wrong!

The O2X is actually using the same Wolfson audio chip as the SGS, so porting Voodoo should be possible.

Supercurio didn't ignore the requests. He found after investigation that it wouldn't be possible. He went into detail, but it's a bit over my head. The basic idea is that the edits he's done for the Galaxy S line were all housed in the kernel. For our phones, apparently, the edits would need to be done in a driver or module that we have no source code for.
He tweeted about it, maybe a month or less after the G2x was released if you want to go find it

He already has spoken about this topic, LG's source code doesn't include sound code... this means that there could not be any easy modification. Porting is possible, but he needs the source code.

Obviously yes, since phones are almost identical (you can even cross-flash firmwares, but you have to be careful about it).
If and when CM6.1 comes out, this board will be a flurry of activity and you will definitely not miss it.
Also it will be stickied at the top of the board

I am fairly new to Android ..But still heard the buzz about the fantastic cyanogen mods .. I also read that because of copyrights etc .. cyanogen mod do not contain google items ( market, gmail etc) ...Does that mean I can't use any of the googleprograms or can the be ( legaly) downloaded and installed in the rom ?

Although there's been some good answers already, what I'm particularly interested in is that the 6.x releases are all Froyo based which will bring a load of new amazing to the SGS, and depending on the CM release schedule, it may well in fact come to the galaxy BEFORE the official samsung froyo rom.
If that happens, it'll be a major coup for the CM guys, to not only be better than the stock rom, but to be dropping before samsung.
Froyo brings JIT and naitive apps2sd, which is awesome, as well as plenty of other goodies. The reason why the N1 recently jumped almost up to SGS levels on quadrant on 2.2 is because of JIT coding, so expect a pretty impressive jump in performance for us.
Also, there's the possibility that the CM rom will totally drop samsungs crappy slow ass proprietary file system that's caused so much woe for our devices, which translates into no need for lagfixes, and generally improved performance all around.
Thinking of streamlining stuff... No more bloatware, just the services and apps we need, which translates into better memory management, and so better stability and even better performance for multi-tasking.
Finally, no need for GPS fixes. CM should be coming with good, accurate and thoroughly tested gps code.
So yeah... All the joy of Froyo, minus the samsung junk, thats been developed by SGS users for SGS users. Might not see everything perfect in 6.1, but it will sure as hell be a leap forward. *straps myself in*

Judging by the thread over at the CM forums, yes, they've tried - they've also tried hacking it on, with no progress. It's not something you can easily just drop in. If you want the dirty tech details, head over http://www.cyanogenmod.com and check the SGS section of the forums. You'll see which thread.

Posting a re-oriented kernel shortly. Sound through headphones doesn't seem to work. Most everything else does. The whole still beta thing definitely applies.
personally I am hoping that nexus S turns out to be pretty similiar to the Galaxy S. With the source and a good base I think we are more likely to get a 2.3 version of CM before 2.2
is CM6 gonna be that much better for our phones?

While I'm pretty sure they are almost exactly the same phone, I really doubt we're going to get source anytime soon. They are a couple of weeks away from a CM 6.1 beta release. It will have alot of the same issues the i9k roms do, but it should work well enough for most people.
I'm just glad Cyanogen has shown interest in the Galaxy S. That makes me feel like we'll see continued development, in addition to all the great devs already here for the Galaxy S series.

Cyanogen's appeal isn't just the ROM, there are tons of ROM builders. The Cyanogen team actually modifies the Android source quite a bit. (more so than some of the other tweaks found in some ROMs)

Agreed. I put it on the N1 and... Bleh. No major improvements, a few bugs I didn't have stock. I don't get all the hype, unless it's just about removing bloatware and such...which obviously wasn't an issue on the N1. So far I'm loving Ken's Alien #2, but I'm definitely tempted to try Cherry Pi.
Anyway, source release is good! Will be nice to see the talented devs go to town.

Motorola takes the source and adds Blur. Then they add AT&T cap to it. HTC does this with Sense. Samsung does it with TouchWhiz. Source is just plain, stock Android, like you'd find on a Nexus device. It makes it a lot easier for a dev to add/tweak/optimize, because you aren't having to worry about how removing Moto's messaging app breaks wifi and causes pimples.
At least, that's my "I'm not a dev, but I play one on tv" understanding.

If you've never compiled a kernel before its kind of hard to imagine, but the scope of choices available to you are ...really massive.
We have to accept kernels from Motorola which they believe is best, or perhaps they have decided to do knowing its not best (for limitation features, carrier requests, etc.)
On top of the kernel is a lot of layers also, with decisions and configurations in each area customized to the nth degree by each hand that touches it and each revision is done. Everything from the default ring tone and boot screen to the default GPS server used for looking up GPS data.
The ROM developers are able to work around, and modify a lot of things, but having the source means they can work it from 'the ground up' in their own image, removing things that have been added without merit (such as BLUR) or moving the whole thing in a new direction.
As stated at the top, if you've never compiled a kernel its kind of hard to explain but I hope that gives you some idea of the scope of what goes into 'making your phone go'.
Folks, try to keep it clean and let's stay on topic. Don't post for the sake of posting, only post if you have something important to share.
Thanks!

The kernel doesn't necessarily change all that much sometimes, so progress isn't really lost. Even still the changes can be reworked to the new source.

Yeah he said that, I think he wants to know if this may set them back...
I can't see how this could. They will just go compare what they did with the source and see if they need to make changes, and it will make the rest of it go faster. They had source for a similar device they were working off of. This will help tremendously I'm sure.
Anyone gonna be first ti put together a compile thread? I compiled my own kernel for n1 with battery tweaked driver. Can't wait to try on the ATRIX.

No disrespect to Temasek, he has fairly good general knowledge, but to be head of software department I think you should actually be a knowledgeable coder/dev.. To make KANGs and whatnot you don't really need coding skills, just the knowhow of some linux, really. It's writing code that's hard, and with that I mean really hard, atleast for me so RC and spica deserves very much our love, even LG's love for making this phone what it is..
Ofc I don't say you aren't good for the community Temasek, becouse you are (and you save me lot of trouble compiling CM for myself, which is very much appreciated), I just want people to understand who really are devs around here. Hope you don't take it the wrong way.
So what we should do then is assemble a 'Dream Team' and send LG their names. If LG matched up the quality of their software to their hardware then they would become a truly major player.
Otherwise LG will always remain an 'also ran'....
Whenever I upgrade next I will ensure that the brand has a history of regular updates and early release of drivers, source code, etc. It's priority #1 for choosing a new smartphone, over raw hardware specs....

I've been reading a lot about problems with ICS on our LG O2X, because nvidia would not have been releasing propper drivers for the tegra 2. Sadly, I mostly read about people saying things like "nvidia never again", but I still don't really get what it is all about. I'm running Nova ICS rom on my o2x for a few weeks now, and it's actually running very well. So could anyone explain me what the problem about ICS and tegra 2 drivers is?
Thanks in advance!
Simple, and it's been said in many places already, no drivers means no hardware acceleration. Which, for what it seems, would allow for even smoother browsing and s**t...
It's hard to believe that this ICS build isnt hardware accelerated . But what about games and video's and such? How can it be that they are working properly?
I'm guessing it's like using a graphics card on your computer without installing the drivers... it still works but it's not optimized as it's using some generic drivers instead of using the card's full potential...
But I'm just guessing!

One question remains in my head: there are many tegra 2 devices which already have ics running properly - are the drivers from lg and nvidia so different from other manufacturers?

LG also has announced ICS for O2X, but does this also mean that it will have hardware accelerated video? Maybe it is a stupid question, but if nvidia is not going to release drivers, no other developer is going to change anything about that, right?
I'm only guessing (as usual) but I would say LG already has the drivers for Tegra 2 to develop ICS for our device, and when an official ROM gets out for our device, developers will be able to extract the binaries of the drivers and use them without really "seeing" the code, if you know what I mean.
But if nvidia would publicly release the code our developers wouldn't have to wait for the official LG ICS to "steal" the binaries.
That's my understanding of it. I might be wrong. Will a real developer please stand up?

A real developers explanation would be great, but this is already great. Thanks LarsPT

I'm guessing it's like using a graphics card on your computer without installing the drivers... it still works but it's not optimized as it's using some generic drivers instead of using the card's full potential...
But I'm just guessing!

No if you dont have the drivers installed for your graphics card then your system cant even see it, its just using the standard vga drivers to boot and displays stuff visually.
Thats the nearest comparison for the current ICS, its all being run on the cpu, not the gpu, i dont use the ICS rom as i see no point minus the hardware acceleration.
eraldo it seems you didn't read my post till the end (which surprises me as it was a very small post). I did say when you don't install (specific) drivers for your graphics card on your pc, you use generic drivers (like you said, standard vga drivers). I think we're on the same page, I don't understand why you started your post with "No".
And ValentineCrow, you're welcome!
EDIT: And btw, eraldo, if you take a look at the benchmarking screenshots people have been posting with ICS than you would see the point of using ICS... Still, I'm not using ICS yet as I prefer stability and compatibility.
LarsPT, please do as you like, but i have less (stability) problems with Nova CM9 than I had with the official CM7 nightlies. And I havent had any compatibility problems

There are still a lot of apps out there that are having trouble with ICS, FCs and whatnot, so for the time being I'll stay with temasek's #72. But I'll join you in ICS soon enough
a200 has tegra 2
Hey doesn't the Acer A200 have Tegra 2?

I think it does, but I also think it isn't out yet. So we still have to wait for drivers, if that's what you mean
