For people with mic issue in-call. - Streak 5 Android Development

I am using StreakDroid 1.6.1 and people were complaining I am whispering into the phone when I am in a call with them. The mic was too soft. So did a little digging around and found some files over at the Hero forums here on xda. Basically, you just gotta copy the 3 files over to /system/etc/.
By default, only one of those files is present in /system/etc/. I opened the files and
saw HTC everywhere. I did a backup of the original file and copied these 3 files anyway and rebooted. Made a test call and my mic is working perfectly now. No issues whatsoever. You can try it if you have similar issues like me. Just make a backup first. Although it works, I'd appreciate if anyone takes a look and clean it up for the Streak. And oh, the usual disclaimer... I am not responsible if this screws up your phone, bankrupts you and/or causes Global Thermonuclear War. Also, mods, I believe this applies to all roms and not just StreakDroid.

Placebo effect, i'm afraid. Those are HTC files and are not used by the streak.
Look at the logcat as you reboot your phone, those files will never be read.

Trust me, they don't do anything.
I worked with these files all last year (Check the "louder volume hack" thread in my sig), they don't work on the Streak. They are for the old HTC audio driver (which has been phased out now, these .csv don't work on ANY phone released after, and including, the Nexus) which the Streak doesn't use. (Even if they did work, audiopreprocess.csv and audiofilter.csv wouldn't do anything to the microphone anyway)
Try doing "killall mediaserver" in adb and watch the logcat. The files aren't read.

Thanks for that. I,however, still believe they did something. Refreshed the mic perhaps? Whatever they did, it worked. No more complaints from people saying im too soft lol.

I think it was rebooting your phone that sorted your mic out rather than the files

I agree it must have been a reboot, i have the same problem and i have to reboot the entire phone. VERY annoying. Would the louder-volume kernel fix this?

same here
Any help? lets try to ask out master "DJ_STEVE" if he cant help us...nobody can!

He isnt moaning, he was just convincing me they dont work.

What I discovered was that if my Streak was in vibrate mode, then the mic volume was very low.
Hang up, and set the phone to normal and and voila, the caller can actually hear me again.
Not sure if it's related to the widget I use to set to vibrate mode or whether it's the phone. Perhaps I oughta investigate more.

Currently beta testing 1.7.0. It seems to be fixed.

Help needed with Audio Hack for the Nexus!

I guess this is development, so here goes:
Ok, some people have repoted success with my Audio Hack on the Nexus whilst some people have reported no change at all.
If my app or the manual hack works for you can you please let me know what ROM you're running, and which version of my hack you used, it would be very helpful
Cheers!

I'll help ...
I'll give her a test whirl in a little bit and report back some solid testing results for you as soon as I can.
~enom~
i tried every possible combo with the options this morning and i still have nothing. oddly, i get a double screen option on the headphone boost screen. 2 yes and 2 no's. one pair is white the other yes is green and the other no is red.
my results and some information
Meltus,
Do you have a N1 to play with? or are you shooting in the dark (and thus need help)?
Anyhow ...
Some details ...
I implemented via manually pushing the AudioPara4.csv, AudioFilter.csv, & AudioPreProcess.csv files to /system/etc and then rebooting.
I tried both G7_v3r2 and G7_v2r2. Both resulted in (from what I can tell) no change. I did not witness any volume gain or decrease. No distortion. No nothin'. Literally everything appeared unchanged.
Some interesting things I found for you ...
The stock (or shipping) AudioPara4.csv in the Nexus1 (ERD79) is the exact match for all Stock-sapphire-32B(MT3G) ROM's/devices.
Also, AudioPreProcess.csv and AudioFilter.csv are not present on the Nexus1.
Also, the Nexus1 is shipping with a couple new .csv files in the /system/etc directory ... AdieHWCodecSetting.csv & AudioBTID.csv.
That's the results I obtained and the relevant detail I observed. If you need anything else from me in way of producing an audio mod. I'd be happy to assist.

Yeah, i'm pretty much guessing at the moment, with help from simms22, but we've still not been able to get the volume hack to work.
It's strange though, some people have reported success whilst most others haven't. And, from checking the logcat when the mediaserver restarts, it loads the AudioPara4.csv fine, so my files should make a difference and the headset boost option should work fine, but it doesn't ><
So far, we've established that the AudioFilter.csv and AudioPreProcess.csv aren't used by the Nexus, but the strange thing is, some of the Nexus firmware dumps which people provided for me include these files and some don't. It seems as if there's 2 versions of the nexus, either that or people added the files in when they sent me the dump.
So, it seems that the nexus loads the AudioPara file, but i'm not sure why as it doesn't do anything. The other 2 files seem to be bluetooth related, so i'm not sure they'll make a difference.
God, this phone's more trouble than it's worth
could it be that the nexus for google employees and the nexus for the public are that different. ive asked around also, no one has that app working on their nexus that i know of. could it be that some people are lying and just saying that it works(to be cool).

Good point, and them lying is a possibility (albeit a strange one ).
This doesn't make much sense to me, i'm gonna speak to some ROM devs and see if they have an answer

yea I dunno ... it would certainly be hard to believe that this type of issue would be "intermittent".
This seems to me like an all or nothing affair, in which it really should either work or not. I could be wrong, I've seen stranger things happen, but I really don't see how this would be working for a "select few".

Very true, unless there are 2 different versions (like simms said, maybe one for google employee's), but even if there was, i don't see why they would make it different. (unless they made it different for the public, specifically to stop me doing this, which i highly doubt lol)

My money's on a placebo effect. They get the new file on there, so they're under the impression it sounds better/louder.

lol..I wanted an EQ so bad I think I convinced myself something was actually happening.
I am not getting the double screen at all. I saw no difference in the volume either with the external speaker or the headphones after installation and setting up V2r2.
Volume Hack
I have the double icons on the headset screen. I haven't had a change in the volume.
Now I could have sworn when I tried it that the volume got worse and then I tried the files on your site the stock ones and it got better but after playing with it continuously for about 3 days I have come to the conclusion it is a placebo effect and nothing more.

Owain and I voluntarily started this project for fun and to spend time. Now it's a good thing we could also amuse a community while having fun, but Owain leaving this section is a descission he is free to make. Instead of moaning be grateful for what already has been given to you! You're not paying us ****. All we get are donations. Donations are a way of appreciating the work that is being done for you. It is not forcing someone to do something for you. That would be called payment, and it might be me, but I haven't seen Owain getting any paychecks from anyone at all. I'm not saying you should pay him, I'm saying let the man do what he wants to do. If he's done, so be it! He has put an amazing lot of hours and work into the base of this rom. More developers started to pop up and can take over his work, while he is working on other devices and is NOT GETTING HIS PM BOX SPAMMED WITH MESSAGES SAYING NOTHING MORE THAN "PLEASE COME BACK!"

I'm ****ing tired. I'm tired of caring for people who don't give a **** about me.
I'm tired of waiting for a text that's never going to come. I'm tired of thinking things will be different,
yet they never change. I'm tired of giving out chances, only to be let down. I'm tired of putting forth 100%
of an effort and only getting 25% in return. I'm tired of broken promises. I'm tired of let downs by the people who
matter most to me. I'm tired of making someone a priority, when in reality I'm just a number to them.
I'm tired of ****ty people who only manipulate a situation from their own perspective, never even thinking
about what someone else is going through. I'm so tired of the same old bull**** over and over again

Hey is the problem with the touch screen the same as the one from the x8 rom cm7 introduced in the other thread?!
If so the possibility of using cm7 might be high, since I guess the major problem with it was I had no touch yet the vital features were working, like call sms vibration volume and such, but still I didn't fool around enough with it to be sure.
So if tell me how to fix the touch problem, I would be grateful

How to get the original Nexus 7 boot animation to work on Vibrant

Hello everyone! Ive been trying to get the original nexus 7 boot animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29225381&postcount=1) to work on the vibrant, no matter what I do it still doesnt work.. Ive tried changing the resolution and fps around to see if maybe that is the issue but to no avail. Im thinking it may have something to do with the amount of pictures in the animation, its around 80+, but i dont know what i can do to fix it, if that is the problem. if anyone knows what i need to do to make it work please let me know.
ps: watch the youtube video in the post on the link above to see which animation I'm talking about, its not the aosp one that ended up shipping with the n7.
thanks for any help you can give!

Im not sure if you mean what i did to try to get it to work or what i did to install it so ill just tell both.
I opened the desc.txt and changed the res to 480 800 and upped the fps to 24 (I even tried it with the default desc.txt numbers and still no luck) then i saved the zip and used root explorer to put it in the system/media folder, and renamed it bootanimation.zip.
When i reboot the phone to see if it works it plays the animation i had before i installed this one, which i dont even understand how it does that since im positive i delete the old bootanimation.zip each time i tried to get it to work.
What ROM are you using? Some ICS ROMs do contain the BA in /system/media.
Wherever it is buried in the ROM, if you drop the N7 BA in /data/local it will supersede the "host" one. Meaning that you can put any BAs in /data/local whenever you want and leave your ROM based BA unadulterated. Why don't you try that and also don't forget to set permissions once you drop it in /data/local.

You're a genius kind sir, thanks for the help. One thing i've noticed is it seems to stutter more then my previous animation, do you know of a way to fix that by chance? Although the animation I had before was smaller and probably way less demanding then this one is, so that could be why its acting up. Im on the most recent Hellybean release

It is probably the reason you think it is. Sometimes when I have a larger BA, it will stutter or freeze/jump to the next frame. But that is the beauty of dropping it in /data/local, is I can swap it out with no worries of messing anything up. Sometimes I drop one in my wifes phone just to mess with her. She's pretty savvy so it doesn't take her long to figure it out and call me up.
Hit that thanks button. IKoolkid's too.
Anytime you need help just ask. I'm usually trolling around the Gen and Q&A sections.

You probably did. Bet you'll remember next time it comes around. You can drop all kinds of things in /data/local like Default.props, init scripts, bootanitmations,...and they will all run first before the stock kicks in. But you have to be VERY careful with anything other than BAs.

Wait a minute. Did you just delete your question? Did you get it figured out?
From what I remember of it, just off the top of my head, did you set the permissions. If you forget to do those, it will default to the stock BA. I've also been so frustrated to the point that I was putting the stock one in /data/local when I thought I was putting a new one in there. I had to unzip it to make sure I was doing what I wanted (turned out I wasn't :facepalm
Search Default.prop on google and see what turns up. You can enable/disable Voodoo if you want. Run a ro.secure=0 or =1 which allows you to boot into ADB with or without Root. You can put any persistent props in there to. I think that you can also put in some build.prop tweaks in there to run on boot instead of the "default" build.prop that is stock, but not sure about that one.
^^^^Obviously, if you start messing with these and are not sure what you are doing, make sure you have a Nandroid to restore.
Got it figured out, same problem you had with the copying old one.

[REF][MOD] Volume Boost

jovy23 over on the T-mobile side of the S4 forums came up with this volume hack.. well maybe hack is a bad word. Its a mod
Anyways, I threw it on mine (manually adb pushed /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/) and its a noticeable difference. (yes it also works btw). I haven't been brave enough to go higher than the moderate, but I figured I'd give it to anyone who wants to go give it a shot.

what about sound quality from headphones on this device??
and the Bluetooth quality as well...my DNA surely had a noticeable difference playing via Bluetooth..
thanks for the heads up. Moderate sounds great to me and just the little boost i didnt even know i wanted

I don't have bluetooth headphones to test it with sorry. It mentioned in the file that it was updating various speakers and mics alike (not just one) so I could assume that it also boosted the bluetooth volume. Don't hold me to it though.

Yeah that's what exactly what I said. I actually had to turn my volume down a little at night. Normal notifications were like having the phone next to your ear at full volume. haha
So.....this might be a stupid question....but....I unzipped it....how do I put it on the phone and where? Thanks!

Hey, not a stupid question. The only stupid question is the one not asked ( regardless of some of the members here... eh hem)
You'll need ADB if you plan on doing it from your computer or you'll need root browser depending on how you want to do it.
Root is required, as you have to modify system folders.
If you don't know what you're doing, I'd recommend getting root browser.
1) Place the two files (snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3, and snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm) on your SD card.
2) Navigate to System/etc/snd_soc_msm and delete the files (snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3...and it's brother) there.
3) Copy and paste the files from your SD card to replace them.
4) Reboot your phone.

Does this work for AOSP as well?
Thanks for the post. Once i finally get around to rooting my S4 Ill have to give this a try. Iv never been great doing mods and stuff. SO hopefully this is pretty easy. Just about the only thing Iv disliked about my S4 is the volume output. Can hardly hear my notifications if im in a place thats not pretty quite.

I haven't seen an AOSP rom for the S4 yet, but I would assume no. The file does not exist at the same location on stock 4.2 ( checked on my GNex prior to typing this). I would venture to say that this is a TW exclusive mod.

yeah the furthest I usually venture into touching my phone, is flashing junk that I know nwill work the first time haha. With there being no stable recovery I was hesitant. It works though so I'm happy. I know it works, because we were in the movie theater right before the movie started (got quiet) and it went off in my pocket...

Wow this was an amazing boost in volume! Moderate for me. As soon as I rebooted the phone and got to the Samsung boot image I was instantly shocked by the volume change lol. Good stuff! Cheers!
Thanks I needed it to be louder. I think the galaxy series phones are a little too quite.

CM11 issues on SHV-E300

I am developing CM11 for the Korean models of the S4. Right now I am currently running the build I just compiled. Here is a list of what is not working:
USB Storage : no /emulated/0/sdcard error when trying to mount or download anything not from play store.
Video Camera
Camera takes blank pictures : believe this is because of the storage issue
No sound : we use the yamaha chipset
Can't make or receive calls
I am trying to figure out how to fix the USB storage bug on my end but I think I am at a loss. As for the other issues, I think that just might be the kernel side of things, but not for sure. Can someone help me out with a little advice for some of these issues? Thanks.
Edit: I forgot to add that with not being able to make or receive calls, I do have data (2g, 3g, and LTE). So I really don't know what is going on.
Okay, so now I have everything working except for the making/receiving phone calls and the sound. Is there anyone that might could help me with this?? I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to the kernel and getting things like that working. I know that on the native touch wiz system that my CBD file is located under the root dir under sbin, but on the CM version I have to put it in the system/bin folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Seems like I am asking the wrong question
Okay, since it seems like the wrong question is being answered here. Here is the correct way to ask this. While working with the kernel, how do I know what modules I need for audio, signal and everything else to work with Cyanogenmod??
Sorry, just saw this - is that a Exynos or QC variant?

If you're still having issues, I would check your device tree against this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_i9500
and vendor blobs against this:
https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-11.0/i9500
From what I've been reading the SHV-E300 is a i9500 variant so they should be nearly identical.
You should be able to use that device tree and the kernel referred as a comparison.
The list of proprietary files in device tree should also help make sure you grabbed everything off of the stock ROM that you need.
Good luck! Hope this helps you straighten out the remaining issues!

Thank you for the advice, but I have already been using parts of the I9500 to get to where I now. I just completed another build last night after playing around with the ramdisk but it wouldn't boot. LOL ... I still don't have sound or calling. I know that with the SGS2, they don't have an audio folder in their device tree for the Yamaha audio. I don't know if I need one or not since I cannot find any lib file or driver that corresponds to audio. My question though is that I did find a file that has the same layout as the es325_fw.bin file that the I9500 uses. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it is filename_fw.bin. Do you think that could be my audio? As far as calling goes, I know that on the stock firmware, the pda and the baseband both have to be the same in order to make or receive calls, so how am I supposed to do that one for CM??
@garwynn .. I just built another aplha build, and I just realized I can't get the usb mass storage to show up when the phone is connected to the computer. Any advice for that??

Any of those .bin files that you think are missing in the blobs.... I'm of the opinion that you can throw them in and test adding/removing one at a time to see if it changes. The logcat may also help give clues as to what is going on.
USB storage = check your build.prop and see what options you have set for USB. you could also edit your usb script to force usb mass storage.
I need to check on the firmware question. I though this wasn't the case, you just need a valid fingerprint and ROM doesn't have to match baseband. Is it possible that some of the RIL blobs may be missing?
I just compiled another build. I made sure that the build fingerprint was exactly like it should be. When I installed CM11, I went to about phone and it showed that my fingerprint was KVT49L and not the KOH49T that I had set it to. It kept telling me to insert sim again, which I think I may have fixed. As far as the sound goes, I went through all the bin files and looked them up on google. They all pertained to video and not audio. Inside my stock system, there is a ysounds.xml with a reference to etc/ymc/param. Here is a pastbin of the ysounds.xml file if you wouldn't mind looking at it and letting me know what you think.
YSOUNDS.XML
I have never developed for a high end device before, so this is none the less getting really interesting and fun. LOL.
When looking through the file, it looks almost exactly like the mixers_path of I9500.
New build with audio changes in my device/audio folder caused the system not to Boot. It got to the cm loading screen and there it stayed. Any ideas??

Nope. Adb sets on waiting for device for about 5 minutes and then says no devices available.
@garwynn , I just got a new build. I have the correct fingerprint and it is still ending the call as soon as I dial the number. I tried using the yumc files that I had found that were on the phone, but still no sound. I am going to try to add the other files like the ysound and the files it references to the build as well to get sound, but I don't know. It is worth a shot I reckon. LOL. Also, I looked in the build.prop file and there is nothing in there about usb or storage. So I don't know what is going on with that one. I am going to check more on it and see what is going on. Do you have any more advice that you might can give? I don't know if I have said this before, but this is the first time that I have developed for a high end device so this is proving to be a challenge. LOL. Thank you again.

None as of late I am afraid. I havent had much time to work on things. My system had crashed so I had to get back to where I was. Lol. I did however get the storage bug fixed, the mic can hear things but still cannot transmit sound. It is a pita working with this stupid yamaha dac. Hopefully soon though.

Isn't the Yamaha DAC the same as in the lte-a models? (E330K/S) -They have roms for that model, so maybe you could try pulling them from there
also, there's a patch for MIUI that I found here: http://opnay.tistory.com/23 that has working audio I think, but you can't end calls.

Sadly its not. The e330 models use the qualcomm and wolfson chips. It sucks but I think I know where the hickup is. Just have to learn more about the kernel to fix it. When I go to build, it tells me that there are uninitialized modules for the kernel and to recompile the kernel with the modules enabled. So when I have time I will delve into that.
As far as that pitch goes, I looked into it and it was 4.3 so that would lead to a dead end. Also it was specific to MIUI. I am trying to ask for help from seasoned developers but never get an answer back from most of them. Only a couple have given me advice. Lol. So if you know if anyone that would like to help, just have them pm me . thanks.

The guys at Dokdo Project have working sound! but no phone calls as of yet. They seem pretty slow to update, I'm checking out their blogs, but still a no go as of yet.
It's all in korean, but if you want to give them a shot:
http://dokdo-project.com/
---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------
just another quick tip: Apparently in Korea they have usim (simcard) locks that prevent other models from calling,
You have to manually change the build.prop and change the ro.product.model= to whatever your model is, in my case:
ro.product.model=SHV-E300K
also, I think this might apply to other places in the build.prop as well, but haven't been able to go that far.
