This would fall under the don't fix something thats not broke category.
Sound quality was great on my phone with 2.3.3 JVK, but after reading the great reviews on Voodoo sound, I was interested in seeing how much better it could get. After flashing the Voodoo sound driver (came with voodoo control plus 1.0.5) any sound through multiple types of headsets is distorted and almost sounds like the volume is automatically limited (Any high notes or low bass is either completely cut off, or the volume limits when the note hits). Sound quality after this flash is horrible to unusable. The odd thing is that even if I unload the voodoo driver, the sound is still awful. ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated!!
**EDIT** Just to add, I have tested the volume levels to make sure they were not to high in the application. The distortion/limiting happens even if set to a very low volume.

All was good before flashing voodoo sound.
How are you controlling your volume?
The best results, will be to max out the phone media volume completely.
Go into Voodoo Sound control and tick "map volume kies hack" and the volume will be controlled by that.

Firstly, when did you buy Voodoo Control Plus? Cos 1.0.5 is an old version the current version is version 2.0 Beta2-4.
Secondly, what did you flash? All you need for Voodoo Control Plus is root, it loads the module on reboot. Did you reboot after unloading the driver?
I'm running the current version on JVB with no problems and I've previously flashed the Voodoo soundmod kernels on three other phones (Froyo) and they all sounded amazing afterwards.

When you use Voodoo Control Plus you're not flashing anything! All it does is load a module, which is the reason it needs root btw. No need to reboot either. If that doesn't work for whatever reason, you can just unload the module again.
Conclusion: Either you made a mistake or you're a troll. Did you try to use the VCP module with a kernel that has (an older version of) Voodoo compiled in by any chance?
ok.....slow down guys. Noob-Yes, Troll? not likely. Heres the thing, I cannot remember what I used to get this on my phone. The one thing I can tell you is it came from somewheres on xda. Also, I have maxed out the phone volume, and enabled the Keys hack. No difference. Even if I un-load the module, the sound improves "slightly" but is still "volume limited" somehow. The only way I can explain it, is if the song has a loud part, the phone seems to automatically limit the volume, also all low range (bass) audio seems to be missing from any song regardless of weather the module is loaded or what audio settings are enabled.
You know the best way you guys could help me out? Tell me if it is safe to upgrade to the newest gingerbread. The reason I ask this is:
1.I have installed the "new" bootloaders from the JVK 2.3.3 (I believe stock) rom, but then I have the clockwork mod on top of that and the phone is rooted, also flashed the softkey fix and the crt off animation. ALSO, i had to flash the BELL KC1 modem to get the 850mhz band to work here in cape breton. I just need to know what needs to be done to make it safe to flash the newest stock firmware.
2.I just want to rid the phone of the voodoo mod and stay as far away from it as I can. I'm thinking flashing the newest firmware will help me do this.
3. I have searched multiple topics and I am just having a hard time getting a stright answer on what needs to be un-modded/removed/etc to make it safe to upgrade.
I really didn't mean to come off as a "troll".

I don't think anyone can help you without knowing what you did to your phone and what's on it right now. The only solution I can see would be a factory reset and a full (including bootloaders) stock 2.2.1 ROM flashed via Odin. Then you at least have a known-good baseline configuration and can go from there.

You don't have a clue about what you're doing, that's fine. Do a little reading and all will be well. But there's no need to blame Voodoo (or any other mod).
I think you might have took this whole thing the wrong way. This is why I don't ask many questions and only have input if I think it will help. Sorry to have affended anyone. I wasn't blaming voodoo at all, I was just saying that all was fine before I installed it. It IS most likely my mistake. Thanks to "those" that helped. I'm just going to re-flash 2.3.3 JVK stock, as I know it worked before. I only started the thread to see if anyone ran into the same thing or had any better ideas than reflashing.
Also to those that questioned, the voodoo mod was the only thing I did to my phone that I didn't fully research before implementing. I'll take this as a lesson.
Hi!
What is your transaction number, for Voodoo Control Plus?
I have no idea, it was all in one thing that I found on a forum which probaly wasn't the best thing to do. I reflashed the phone to froyo and then back to 2.3.3 and without any mod's the sound works great. I would say this had nothing to do with voodoo, and 100% me not researching how to install it.

Okay so please send me the link to what you found with a pirate version of Voodoo Control Plus.
I'm not sure of the link it was a while ago. Had I of known it was pirated I wouldn't have used it. I was looking for something to make the line out louder and came across a zip-file while doing some random googling. Had I of known where I got it I would have posted it in the first post. Listen, I'd be more than happy to pay for software, and have many times.
Cool, you'll find the latest version on Android market.
Ok, I see the one on Android market, Is there anything I have to do besides root the device again to have it work properly? It has been completely factory reset and reflashed to 2.3.3 JVK so there shouldn't be any reminants from whatever I installed last time.

Nope, that should do it. Welcome to the club!
My phone's audio is sounding incredibly lacking at the moment. I've got the audio maxed but it's barely audible and as far as I know it hasn't come into contact with any water today. It was working fine earlier and the only thing that I've done on it today has been it's update so I'm not sure if they've coincided. I'm going to sleep on it, maybe some water did splash onto the speakers or something, but I will try to update in the morning. Has anyone else had this issue?
Try this mod, it worked for me

I feel like mine has become very 'tinny' sounding after the update, definitely not been near water/liquid at all either. The volume loudness is fine though
You can flash the acid sound mod to improve the overall sound quality and volume.
Thank me if I have helped you.

Well after a good nights sleep and a full charge its back to about 90%volume so I'm not sure exactly. It's definitely slightly quieter than before the update. About the mod, do I need to root my phone? Sadly I'm not too experienced in doing it and am worried about bricking it (had this been a gaming system rather than I device I rely on daily I'd be all over it)
You can root the phone and leave it bootloader locked, just search the forum.
I would recommend the PureXAudio9 mod for sound volume as Acid mod resulted in a boot loop on Z for me.

Hi All,
I've recently purchased the HTC One and flashed it with Android Revolution for 4.2.2
There are some small issues that I don't like with the phone which are:
- Camera isn't very good
- It gets warm often (even after browsing the web > 10mins)
- Volume steps are not to my liking (coming from IOS) - too large of a gap when hearing music
I've recently discovered ElementalX which has thermal options, maybe this will fix the warm phone issues? Anyone have experience with it working well with phone temps?
I'm not sure how to fix the camera, is there a ROM/Kernel that improves it?
There is a volume step fix out which doesn't do anything to the volume but increases the steps - so I guess there isn't a fix for this yet.
In conclusion, I think I've overloaded the phone trying different kernels (I like the HTC logo option to turn on/off) and I'm thinking of starting from scratch again. I want a near stock ROM e.g. Android Revolution - or should I just put stock on there (will root access still work on a stock rom if I've installed SuperUser ?)
Does ElementalX work on any ROM with 4.2.2?
What's the best ROM + Kernel for the things I want? Should I go back to stock + ElementalX? Will that work?
Hope someone can help, thanks!!

There are several Volume Step Mods in the Themes / Apps Section.
My personal Setup is ViperRom 2.1 with Elemental 3.4 Kernel but my Battery get on 42 Degrees so its not a heavy Problem when u can live with the temps
The Cam is a 4Ultrapixel so u dont get more then 4MP but u get 300% more Light on Night Shots...
If you want a rom like Android Revolution, why not go with Android Revolution? I'm using it with ElementalX.
The thermal options will make your phone run cooler, but it will impact performance somewhat. There are mods for the volume steps.
And for the camera, it's nothing without Zoe, so I'd recommend a Sense rom if you want at least somewhat nice pictures.
Edit: Grooov beat me to it

I've tried the volume mod but although the number of steps increases, the volume doesn't. So it acts like you don't have a mod to change the volume but just increase the number of steps (if that makes sense)
Did you get 42 degrees with the thermal option set? Is that under heavy load?
I can always see pixels (dots) on the camera which is why I said it isn't very good, maybe it works better outdoors. Isn't ViperRom heavily customised? I'll have a look anyway.

Your signature says you're using Stock! Anyway I was really just asking if it's worth installing Android Revolution if I can still get root access with the stock rom? Is that possible? Maybe I'll stick with Android Revolution.
Is there a way to remove these Kernels that I've added (can't remember which one I got) - should I just reflash Android Revolution without wipe? I don't want to lose stuff e.g. apps/contacts/bookmarks etc.
Do the thermal options slow the phone down? It is quite annoying at the moment that the phone decides to get warm whenever I start to use it, to do anything!
Thanks

ARHD contains a lot of optimizations, as mentioned in the thread. Reflashing a rom will also re-install the kernel (if it's included in the rom .zip). Seeing as you have root access, you can easily back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and you can sync the contacts + bookmarks with your Google account so they'll be automatically re-added. But as you're already on ARHD, it probably can't hurt to "dirty flash". Just make sure to make a backup in case anything goes south.
And you're right about my sig, I'll edit it now

ViperRom based on Stock Sense Rom with a bunch of Tweaks
and the 42 degrees are under heavy load like high performance games e.t.c.
greeetings
and the camera has greater pixels for more light thats the 300% light extra
Installed the new update to ARHD + ElementalX with thermal set to cool. It does seem to have cooled down slightly which is good! It's a bit early to tell if it really is cooling it down though.
The only issue I have now is that "Keep" keeps closing unexpectedly. I have disabled it for now. Anyone know why Keep keeps crashing and how to fix it?

Keep as in Google Keep? You could try to reïnstall it. All your notes are saved in the cloud, so you won't lose them.
Give Venom a whirl, just try not to be taken back by all the options, there are tonnes of them, i've got mine set up just how i like it, took me a while but it's spot on.

I tried a few ROMs before I landed on the stock Google Play Edition 4.3 Conversion. Loving it so far, it's very clean compared to both stock sense and the other ROMs that I tried.

Yea I gave GPE a go today and almost immediately missed sense, Nothing wrong with it, infact it looks great and performed well, I just missed sense.
HTC have done a great job this time round.
However I've got my eye on Paul's Modaco switch rom, which looks to tick all the boxes, only problem i can foresee is the inability to use custom rom's for the switch, I'm not a great fan of stock sense, I like colours and mods too much
Each to their own.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm gonna stick with ARHD + ElementalX for now
I don't want to move away from sense otherwise I could have got a nexus 4 instead, and I like blinkfeed.
I tried a vid today and the phone didn't warm up that much,!! Maybe it's also because I used airplane mode and battery saver at the same time too.
Now I just gotta fix my other problems like find a better video player than vlc which seems to have some slight sync issues. Try to get my klipsch headphones to work better I.e. button controls and get this volume step issue sorted! Any suggestions for any of these?
Maximus HD 12.1.0 FTW
So far my favorite Rom. JB 4.3 with sense. Best of both worlds! Also has 4.1.2 speaker volume & can add CRT-off animation

Thanks I'm using some headphones controller which works ok. Sometimes I have to double tap a million times before it works tho which is quite annoying. Setting speed to slower or faster doesn't help.
Using bsplayer for vids seems good no sync problems. So many roms to choose from! I'll stick with ARHD until 4.3 officially is supported by apps and released. This phone is slowly getting better thanks for your help all.
Another question... When I send a SMS and select a contact they appear more than once because its looking at the phone and SIM card at the same time. Is there a way to only look at the phone so I don't see duplicates?
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

hello all, ive just been having these issues, their always random, either its screen of death, random reboots, google services f/c'ing, it doesnt matter what rom i flash, or if i fastboot back to stock, nothing changes, theres always "something" that goes wrong. I've tried, and tried and tried but something always seems to be messed up with this phone. I dont know what im doing wrong, I've been flashing roms for years and never had so many problems, except, I had these same issues on the nexus 5, same thing.
anybody ells going through this? or is it just me?
i have both nexus 5 and nexus 6, i know both of them very well, is there anything i can help you with? ive figured out solutions to the majority of random things theyve thrown at me..
Thanks for the help. Well, every rom i try has browser f/cs, google play f/cs random reboots sometimes it reboots and wipes cache for some reason. Sometimes its like system ui f/cs so it just does a "soft" reboot, i have audio issues even on stock, like when i get a call, the ringtone starts out real quiet then boosts all the way up, sound is distorted over 50%, i tried to up my voltage by 15mv global and that didnt help anything..... Im not sure what to do, i already switched out the phone once, i think im at the end of my 15 day byers remorse period

Ima jump in here and try to provide a helpful response.
The nexus 6 is the best device I've ever owned beside my beloved g2, I did have to get my nexus 6 replaced the second day I had it because of a battery issue, but no problems ever since.
As far as the Gapps force closing, try using a different set of Gapps. I prefer to use the latest version of the multirom twrp and always use Banks Gapps(pm me if you can't find them.)
Only onn two, maybe three, roms have I had soft reboots/blackscreens/systemui closes. And most of the time they can be solved with a different kernel and a bit of tuning with an app such as faux123 or kernel auditor.
Audio problems can be hard to fix, but let's make sure you can distinguish the problems from the features. An example of a common misconceptions is the audio "clipping" or "lagging" when rotating the screen. This is a feature, it is swapping the left and right channels to keep the audio correct. There is a build prop line you can edit to diable this.
The phone ringtone volume steadily increasing is also a feature in most roms, including stock. It can be found in Settings>sound and notifications> and somewhere near the vibrate option.
Sound distortion is a problem I suffered from on older roms. I eventually started using viper4android on ALL of the roms I install with the superior audio driver (power drain is unnoticeable). All the settings are super easy to use, and easy to discover while playing a song and listening to the differences. Just make sure selinux is set to permissive.
I don't think increasing/decreasing the voltage can be any good for the hardware. If your car says "premium only" then you shouldn't run regular or racing fuel, you should stick to what was intended to work. You can kill battery life, starve the cpu/gpu, increase lag and overheating when messing with voltages.
Try this.
Go get the LATEST version of twrp, go find the Pure nexus rom and download it and Banks gapps, also go find francos kernel and download the latest release.
WIPE EVERYTHING TWICE (cache, dalvik, system, data) and install ROM>KERNEL>GAPPS and reboot into your super stable phone!
Message me for anything else!

what bin number does your phone have? try raising your cpu, inly at your highest cpu, by 20-30mV more. about it wiping the cache, what build android are you on? it used to do that to me all the time, but not since android 5.1.1 hit aosp.

Thanks for the info. As for the google f/cs, so far that was only on one rom, and i havent had it since. Only browser f/cs are what im dealing with now. As for the sound. I understand the differences between the features, this is not a feature, i know what you mean by increasing ringtone, my issue is nothing like that, its not like, the sound slowly gets louder and louder... It starts out real quiet, and then BOOM full volume. Sometimes the speakers pop a little. Its weird, because it only does this the very first time a sound is played, if i have for instance, touch sounds enabled, and go through my ringtones, i dont have any sound issues. But if i turn off touch sounds, then go back to ringtones, the very first one i select will be reeeeal low.... And then BOOM full volume. This was the very first thing i checked when i switched out phones, and the very first time i tryed it on the brand new phone it did this very same thing. I just assumed it was a known issue.

bin number? do you mean BUILD number? I have the tmobile variant of the nexus 6, before i started flashing roms, the first thing i did was download the factory image of 5.1.1 for the tmobile version, which is (LYZ28E), then i found the unenforced encryption boot.img someone posted which is the same boot.img, I unlocked, flashed the stock 5.1.1 image, unencrypted the device, then went on to flashing roms, right now, im on cyanideL which is LYZ28E, and so far, ive had two reboots, one of them had wiped cache by itself apon rebooting, same sound issues, same browser force closing, i even tried chrome, which force closed the second i loaded a web page, other than that, taptalk, g+ hangouts all work fine, its just these 3 or 4 same issues with pretty much all roms

sorry, i edited my post above, I try to use AOSP, which seems to be the best, it force closes the least, but chrome immediately f/c's, firefox works pretty good too, but it has graphical glitches all over the place,
ugh..... so i just wiped everything twice and flashed pure nexus rom, and i have no service, at all... . it just never ends.

reboot.
try this rom, with the latest gapps, and supersu, its Terminus https://goo.gl/ojD6Z6
now i know that this rom has no issues. if you start developing issues, its either something that your doing, or defective(or something else?).

well, its definitely getting interesting. I just tried optipop, and my sound was working normaly! but to my amazement, it was very laggy and system animations werent working correctly, if i backed out of a screen, sometimes it would slide down, sometimes the creen would just flash white and would switch to the last screen, if that makes any sense. I got the same thing as all roms, no network, but i went and searched for networks and it failed, but then my network signal popped up, and when i tried it a gain, tmobile popped up.
so now im trying tremindous, and its doing the same thing with the network, im testing everythnig ells now.
BTW, what kernel would you suggest?

he doesn't include ondemand and no oc. i know his conservative is similar to ondemand, but its not the same. and i strictly use ondemand. about oc, he made me an oc kernel that i used for a little, but its old now. amyways, i dont really use his kernel, but we are still friends

How is OC for batterylife? Is there a big difference when you OC to say 3Ghz and what about heat issues or do you undervolt?

i get from 5-6.5h sot using 3033mhz/300mhz ondemand/deadline. and the n6 doesnt have a heat issue. in fact, i have a hard time getting it over 75C whwn im pushing it to try and get hot.
