Forum member SteveS cooked up a custom kernel and ROM for the European version of the Galaxy S Wifi 4.0. Note that this won’t work on the American or Korean version of the Galaxy (yet), nor on the Galaxy S Wifi 5.0. Besides gaining root/superuser access to the device and various interface tweaks, this ROM includes the Voodoo sound patch , effectively fixing Samsung’s botched audio output. Voodoo fixes the amplification gain for less background hiss and louder output, and – similar to Cowon players – adds a hardware parametric EQ and a hardware 3D spatialization effect for the Wolfson audio CODEC as well. Kernel changelog Based on Original XXKPQ Kernel Added Voodoo sound patches Can work with XXKPN and XXKPQ stock Samsung ROM. To use Voodoo sound you need to install Voodoo Control or Voodoo Control Plus ROM changelog Contains the latest STeVE’s Kernel 1.0: you don’t need to flash separately Based on original XXKPQ Samsung stock ROM Contains root and superuser permissions Tweaked theme: Honeycomb status bar icons, transparent notification pane, ICS windows effects CRT screen off animation If you start from a XXKPN or XXKPQ you can skip wipe to keep your existing applications and settings Check Steve’s forum thread for discussion and download links.

Everybody’s favorite audio player replacement firmware, Rockbox, turned ten years old. On December 7th 2001 the first mail in the Rockbox mailing list was posted. Initially only supporting the Archos Jukebox behemoth, it went uphill from there on. Today Rockbox supports approximately 75 different targets, as well as running as an application on Android, Maemo, and perhaps iOS in the near future. Well timed with this significant anniversary, a new stable version, 3.10, has been released. While this release doesn’t support any new targets, there are several feature additions, improvements, and bug fixes. Read the 3.10 release notes for more details and installation instructions. Congratulations, Rockbox team – here’s to (at least) ten more years! [Via Daniel "Bagder" Stenberg's Blog ]
