How to "boost" volume on CM7

I rooted my Nook to CM7 a week or two ago using what was the latest stable build at the time. I also tried to install dalingrin's OC kernal so I could reamp the volume and make it louder. I have since been told that kernal won't work with the stable build that I used, only the nightlies. So, is there another way to do it? I am not really concerned with over clocking at this point. I just need to be able to hear the dang speaker.

I really would just update to the next nightly or wait a bit for 7.1 to be released. We are mostly in a feature freeze at the moment so the nightlies are stable.
If you decide to go for a nightly then I'd suggest you wait for nightly 132, which should be out tonight.

And when you get that, install the Nook Tweaks app which allows you to boost the audio.

How well does this work? I've only tried using an eq to try and boost the audio with horrible results.

As good as it gets. With my app you can actually adjust the DAC and analog gain. So you can increase the volume and increase the sound quality.

Another app to look at would be Volume+. It's free on the market, and works beautifully at making the nooks speaker loud enough to be heard.

I used one of the apps that came with cyanogenmod 7... I think you can control the "phone" volume with nook tweak... You can overall gain sound by a LOT till you blow your speakers ( I used 40% boost), but you have to reduce your lowest bass and highest treble (left most column, and right most column) in the program where you can change the bass boost and equalizer? (Starts with a D.... )
Turn off bass boost too......
Hope That helps.

The sound is very weak??? What is this sgn ??

How i can highest the sound of the possible in my SGN??
OR I WILL SELL IT
HOW BECOME IS THAT DEVICE IS BIG AND THE SOUND IS WEAK HAA ??

Cuz it's just got one tiny speaker on it..... Learn to live with it, there's nothing you can do :-(

Use voodoo louder...

Woodoo louder is only for the headphones output.

I dont see him naming speakers

i used volume+ on my galaxy nexus which had the worst volume output i have ever seen, worked like a charm though and should work similarly for the note....

I use Vodoo Louder for headphones, although I am disappointed as all hell that upgrading to ICS only gives me up to +3db boost versu the 10.5db boost I had on GB. I asked Supercurio via email, twitter, and xda, and I haven't been given a response...not sure why I support him anymore to be honest.
I now pretty much use Volume+ for BT, unit speaker, and headphones.

[SOUNDMOD][05/05]FidelityXAudio - Ultimate high fidelity audio

I'm building a new ROM for my new Xperia Z right now mainly for even better audio quality. However, it'll take a while as I plan to try rebuilding audio driver library file for lower latency. Right now I'm on vacation staying at my parents' house so I decided to build this sound mod for Samsung WM8994 devices instead since I have good chance to reunite with all of them right now.
FidelityXAudio is based from PureXAudio for Xperia Z/ZL made by ZeroInfinity. I asked him for permission to derive his works with mine for all-in-one sound mod I plan to release for various devices that support Alsa driver. For this first release, it'll support Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and all variants. Installing this mod will give you the following features below.
Features:
Rooted & Busyboxed - This will replace current root and Busybox with latest SuperSu and Busybox. Since most root access for Xperia Z I tested are so unreliable getting bootloop after mounting system rw, I'll force better ones in this package to avoid that problem.
exFAT support - If you're using Android JellyBean ROM but still not have exFAT support yet, this may help you getting one. It works for Xperia Z/ZL but haven't tested for others yet.
init.d support - This isn't cheap recovery flash init.d script. It'll execute init.d script with root access from hardware boot script level so it works far better than conventional ones for locked bootloader running stock kernel.
Xperia Fidelity script - It's ultimate sound quality mod script I've been developing for years. Not only get you better sound reproduction but also make your system smoother as well.
PureXAudio engine - As FidelityXAudio is based on PureXAudio mod, most PureXAudio features are availble except audio effects and specific sound card stuff. I may consider adding them back later though.
Low latency tweaks - My tweaks inside PureXAudio for lower latency Alsa configuration. Not sure how much of it works though as real measured hardware latency won't change without modifying driver.
Mastering 64-bit quantization - The most accurate 64-bit floating point quantization in Android. I usually end it with 32-bit integer mode but this sounds better for crazy upsampling level.
DSD128 audio processing at 5.6MHz - This will give you high resolution audio simulation. The real sampling rate will still be 44.1KHz but with 128x upsampling for audio processing before downmixing is really something.
Fidelity nVIDIA audio configuration - Optimized for more direct bitstream with lower latency. Only for Tegra devices though.
Removed DSPManager for more solid audio performance - This mod breaks DSPManager in CM ROM so no point in keeping it and you probably won't need it anyway after hearing sound with this mod.
Download: PureXAudio v1
You can't flash this on other devices as it can break audio with incompatible sound card configuration. I tested on my Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and they're all working fine. Guess not many people still use them nowadays but they're great ones for sound quality wise. I'll update again for APQ8064 based devices in next version after releasing new Xperia Z ROM.

Wait I'm trying it will report back soon:thumbup:

Yes i tried on a JellyBean 4.2.2 Rom and it is working well :good::good:

Don't know if its a placebo but I seem to be able to crank up the volume much higher now before it starts to sound distorted, on lower volumes I cant hear any difference
anyway thanks for the mod will start using it daily and probably damage my ears :laugh:

Huh?.. can you speak up.. I can't hear you over this great mod!!

someone please reup this, thanks

Will this mod work alongside voodoo sound, or is it an alternative?

It works alongside with Voodoo Sound. Actually, I added my own Voodoo Sound tweaks as well. Some may not like it but that's what I prefer.

What headphones/earphones/speakers do you usually use with your devices?
This information is useful for me. Thanks! :good:

I used to try all in market years back but now I don't really care much even R10/Orpheus failed to make my desire go wild now.
My current favorite earphone is Martin Logann Mikros 70. Not very bang for bucks but easy to wear with mic and bass sounds like speakers with dynamic driver in that long housing.
My current speakers is Rockport Ankaa. I like it more than its newer Avior models.

hello I flash this but I don't think is working for me..i don't find any different ...
I install busybox again with busybox.apk is ok ??

If you already use other soundmods, maybe it's possible that this won't work. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why not as I already included root/busybox/init.d stuff.

I don't use other soundmod.. I don't know maybe I don't understand the sound ... for busybox I install 1.21.0 ..

It works on JellyShot 4.2.1 v1.3? I flash it with CWM? I have Voodoo sound... It works fine too?

i'm sure that you will make this face when I tell you that i'm using CyanogenMod 7.2...
... so the question: it's only for 4.2.2 roms or it will work with every android os?

Should there be an app to control this?
Me Gusta!

[q] the best of galaxy ace 2013

Hello guys, we all had a great year but what our devices had we hardly know......
Hence guys Here is a thread to share the best of galaxy ace .......I have tried many custom roms
the best experience for stability was CM7
and for more speed and agility CM9
now I want you guys to speak up about your experiences. And share the best about the things that you did revolutionized the phone SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE....:cyclops:

Well at the start the Samsung Galaxy Ace i had android 2.2.1 (Froyo) and it was really getting slow so i updated it to 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
After that i found a fantastic ROM which was Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC4 by bieltv.3
Overclocked it and everything was running butter smooth, LIKE REALLY BUTTER SMOOTH
:laugh:

I think it was the ultimatum v3 with swapall kernel i have 80 apps and is really faster and smooth (sorry for my English )
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830 con Tapatalk 2

For me, it would be the AOSP Ginberbread rom for Cooper by spacecakers. It works fine for my requirements.

best of ace for me would be @Rhievaldo's cm9 and @Mardon's cm10.x roms. I did try ultimatum rom and really liked it. But I prefer all the functionality and good looks of cm9 roms and above. CM9 Touchwiz Revolutionized 5.0-V4.0 by @Sky_Walker is beautiful too.

Have a look at The Ultimatum ROM
Hello. I have recently upgraded from my Galaxy Ace after it got smashed. It had CWM and a really, really awesome ROM on it.
I always enjoy trying out new ROM's and Mods. However their is one that had the perfect combination of performance and battery. It's highly customization makes it a great contender. It's based of CM7. You can choose may features to install using the Aroma installer. For example a great feature was to choose from several themes and launchers in the Aroma Installer. You get great Bass and clarity as the OP explains. It's super fast, smooth and my benchmark was increased... ALOT. I'd give this ROM a go because it looks, feels and was amazing!

Well it is stable until i edited the build.prop and messed up everything so i installed it again, and CM10.1 is stable if you dont overclock it... Since it is a Release Candidate [RC]. About battery life...i cant tell, my battery is swollen so it drains easily...but with CM. It drains slow

Uhm.. Maybe KitKat. I didn't tried it, but great work from the devs

Yeah KitKat ROM does look pretty good for the ACE. CM11
And remember KitKat is backwards compatible and requires very little RAM (512MB). Our ace only have 280MB free but with a swap file i'd think it would be very responsive. Samsung probably will not release a new update for our ACE since it's been 2+ years from release. As always try mods, buildrpop tweaks and find a stable overclock for yourself. On my old ACE overclock became unstable at 864MHZ+

Hey man if your worried about audio quality flaash awesomebeats, then pure audio then install viper4androidfx. Man it will blow you away. Anyway back on the roms use a stock rooted one and customise to your liking... Man whats your headphones? Don't tell me yo own them dam beats

By the way
By the wayy Beats Audio Headphones are terrible. They repoduce inaccurate audio, and in theory only god for rap. No Beats Audio does not repoduce how the artist intended, instead how DR Dre "Really" intended. The bass feel so muddy and unclean. These way to much bass, bass was not ment to be made from the headphone but rather from it's DAC, or amplifier. I mean 2xaa batteries in it's little amp? That's pethetic. And it's still inaccurate. I could rant on about them all day, i know this is of topic but just wanted to say. However i dont mind the Beats Audio Libs with ClearAudio+, PureBeats and Awesomebeats. All though the Beats Audio Libs make it sound like a Beats Pair, it feels more accurate thanks to ClearAudio and Awesomebeats. Therotically stay away from Beats Audio Headphones, it's a marketing " Hype", and many produces and DJ's rather use Sennheiser, or some other better reputable brand. They use them because of their accuracy to the frequancies. Compare a Sennhiser frequancy chart to a Beats By Dre chart and you will see Beats Audio's Bass and Treble are just to over the top. Where as Sennhieser try to stay as true to the tune as the artist really intended. Plus if you really do not like the true to the music tunes, just use Viper4Android's eq, bass and clarity, it'l have you setup for life. Plus the right Viper4Android settings could really enhance all frequancies for cleaner bass and lovely treble the artist was intending for your ears.
To wrap it up never buy Beats unless you want to look hahah lol "Cool", headphones are headphones not a fashion item. Worried about the fashion hype? Sennhieser have a great looking headphone called the 'Moumentums on ears". And they are amazing. They are abit pricey but can play frequancies in music that you have never heard before. Besides if your over 25 you loose some of your high end frequanies anyway. Because of age. But seriously Sennheiser have been praised by poruducers and Dj's everywhere.
> DO NOT FALL INTO A FASHION HYPE. YOU WILL BE SORRY, THAT YOU COULD NOT ENJOY YOUR JAZZ, ROCK, ETC AS THE ARTIST WANTED YOU TOO.

Music Players/Which Do You Use?

What music player do y'all use? As far as battery, UI, sound. I have ran into big battery issues with the VS980 in regards to listening to music on my phone while at work... I have used almost every Rom/kernel/V4A/Music player combo possible and no matter what I just want to smash my phone by the end of the day... Any feedback would be appreciated.

I use Google Play Music and Dsub to stream from my Subsonic server in my house. Both actively download in the background the way I use them. I have Viper4Android for sound on top of that, using the middle quality setting.

Poweramp and V4A...Poweramp doesn't drain my battery much but your mileage may vary...

Neutron and v4a. On average I say I listen to about an hour/day and get good battery life. I use super audio with v4a. But like dawg said above, mileage varies.

:good::highfive: JC's CM11, PowerAmp, Viper4A, 24 bit 96khz hi-rez files, S11 Flex headset!! Headset good for about 6 hours at work, device can go all day thru preamp on stereo, do use Juice Defender on device!! :highfive::good:

I use Rocket Player, but not V4A. The free version has all the features I need, and more.

Thanks for the input! I figured out that its a huge DT2W issue as well, Poweramp and V4A seemed to work well while testing last night

I use Google Play Music and my battery lasts all day. I listen to music in the car and while at work.

Google Music on JackpotClavin's CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958). That ROM is the same as the official CM but modified for 24A firmware (and maybe 25A). It's the latest CM code with absolutely NO SODs.
