I did not notice in the Camera testing thread any info on whether sound was working while recording video or not. Is anyone actually getting sound on their video recordings on their Rhodium?
I am running Rhod400, reference build FRX04, but using the test 3/1 kernel from the panel/sleep thread, but that kernel should be up to date with the autobuild with the exception of having some panel fixes for quicker sleep and trying to fix SOD's.
Sound doesn't work on camcorder. Known issue... Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile eh?

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting something, but my video recordings on WisTilt2's latest kernel and the FRX05 image include audio.

Did I miss something? The camera thread had people in there with sound working on their recordings. I figured it was something specifically I was doing wrong not a systemic problem. Someone in there said they had the same issue until they deleted their data.img which I really didn't want to do, but I guess I will try it and see.
I searched the Camera thread before I posted this here. I saw no one mention the "no sound" issue, just people saying that sound was working. That is why I posted here. I was hoping someone had the problem like this before and knew how to fix it, since it seemed that most people had sound.
I can confirm I have sound in Blackstone. Have you checked if there are other Rhod400's with sound? Just to be sure... Ok, not the best sound recording, but it works...
Hrm, I might be mistaken. I've read some that said no sound, and others that said sound is fine. Haven't tested it myself, sorry for the misinformation.
My Rhod400 has no sound, I'd guess it's different from model to model.

Then I may hold off on deleting my data.img file then until there is a bug fix. It seems that maybe this only affects Rhodiums or just Rhod400's.

You can back it up or rename it, try to boot creating a new one and see if it works. then you can restore previous data.img.

Can you tell us exactly how your setup is and if you did any special installs with camera lib. files or anything to get the sound working on your video?
I am just wondering what you have done differently from me and others to get it to run.

Whats the point in using DCD and all this mess instead of the offical sprint released stuff?
I used the DCD stuff with these versions:
ROM Version: dcd 3.0.4
Rom date: 2/22/08
Radio version: 3.37.20
and now I've updated to this newest stuff and I see 0 differences. Where the heck is the full change log (not the per version one)? I couldn't get youtube to work on my phone before, and I still cant get it to work now. When the hell is someone going to fix that?
I remember a long time ago I look and look, AND LOOKED for a work around, and tried several things with 0 luck.
My main reason for upgrading all this in my phone tonight was so that I could be able to record all my phone conversations and any software I've tried Resco audio recorder, and this weird SPWM5Callrec.cab program all give me the error that it cannot start recording while I'm in a phone call. Does anyone have a fix or work around for this too?
Thanks guys.
P.S. Its on a HTC Mogul.
3.0.4 came out months ago. try updating to 3.3.4 and see if you come across any differences in dcd's latest and the stock rom. i guarantee you will never go back to stock.
edit: i also recommend updating to the 3.42.50 radio. much better reception, and i havent gotten a dropped call since i updated. (although i rarely got them before. ohh verizon...)
also: recording calls without the opposing party's consent is illegal. there are programs which supposedly do it fine, but i can't see how recording calls is your main reason for updating your rom anyway.

Did you PAY for DCD's release? If not, then be MORE considerate, he's releasing ROM's because he can, not because it's his job....
Its pretty straight forward
Install DCD 3.3.4
You gain memory, speed, GPS abilities, etc.
You haven't been reading if you simply think there are no differences.

I know all about the legality of recording calls. Thats beaten to death and back. I still prefer to do it.
I know its free. I'm not disrespecting the guy for making it.
You guys still didnt answer the questions about recordings and youtube.
Also is there a executable for the new radio rom? I have hell trying to get my sd card to work to do this. I dont have 100% the proper equipment to do it, but I can still do it this way, it just takes me alot longer and is alot more tedious and annoying.
Also does the sprint provided one not come with GPS enabled? I haven't reinstalled google maps just yet to find out.
If it's beaten to death, you would know that the hardware in the mogul is not capable of recording calls.

Depends on your local laws. The state laws where I'm at allows you to record phone calls as long as one person knows about it. Which is of course you who is recording the conversation. Trust me...been down that road and had to use a couple in court before.
Pardon me, if I may

Why do I sense arrogance in you. I mean, isn't there any other way to ask your question or make a point without it sounding like that? DCD does great work, and true enough you nee to try his ROMs before you comment on no difference. I have used all his ROMs and each time there is a remarkable difference, GPS Speed, good audio, nice reception.
Youtube: If you search the forum, there are many ways to get youtube, I would suggest you tell us what type of youtube app you are trying to use because there are just so many.
As for recording calls, there are apps out there that can do this. JUst google it, and you will have more than enough to try. If there are errors, don't blame the ROM. DCD ROMS are more functional and bring less stress to the RAM than the bloated Sprint ROM.

It's not the jobs of the people on this forum to solve your problems for you. If they do, great, but you shouldn't be using an attitude that makes it seem like you think everyone on here is being paid to solve problems for you. Maybe you didn't mean this line to come across as rude but it sure seems very rude to me.
The Flash Video Bundle with TCPMP that was posted works very well for YouTube.

You only need an SD card... nothing else. If you have an SD card you have 100% of the proper equipment. Everything can be done directly on the phone without even having a computer. You might need software to extract a .zip or .rar file at the most although it seems you're not familiar with compressed archives (zip files) so flashing your phone might be a little advanced for you. If your SD card doesn't work very well for flashing, buy a new one. They are extremely cheap for the low capacity ones which is what you need for flashing anyway.
You claim not to mean any disrespect for DCD's ROM but then you're whining about how you think there's no point to using it and why hasn't someone fixed some problem you were having when they have... I think a better attitude might make people more willing to help you.
Well put unL33T,
I would have just called this guy a douche bag and written a note-to-self to ignore all future posts by ElementalWindX, as so far every one of his 4 posts in this thread is dripping with jackassery.
I have a feeling that either method will be just as ineffective.

You do realize that many of the amazing people who develop software and ROMs for your phone do it free of charge as a hobby, right?
If you want a change log with the entire history, I recommend you go into the threads and do a lot of copy and pasting. I'm sure there are a few other people who would be appreciative if you took the effort to help out with that instead of just crying that nobody else has. Sound fair? You take, you give.
And similarly with youtube, why don't you go to hell and fix it yourself?

If you press the X-Button in the top right hand corner of this browser window it should solve all your issues.
As people have already said... We develop for free. I have a ROM, DCD does, etc... I spend countless HOURS if not DAYS ON END working on this for very little in return. I do appreciate the people that have donated but lets face in reality we do this sort of thing for free. Sooo with that being said....
If you donate a very large sum of money to me I will solve ALL your phone needs. I'm waiting for the money... Let me know when its there.
Ok, I'm still waiting, why haven't you sent it yet?
Pretty ridiculous? Yes! Just like your rants about DCD's ROM.
Also, when you get a chance can you post some of your work. Seems you are here only to get what you can and not contribute back.

We install these ROMS because we don't like the Sprint ROM. I can't make that anymore simple. Many/Most of us try to "break" the custom roms (like DCDs) or find the bugs in them so the programmer can refine the product. Many others are here to try something new to get better performance from their phone-- again, because they don't like the Sprint ROM.

Most of the difference you dont "see" you experience. More RAM is available, the phone runs quicker and more stable. Those are the main differences you can "see" or notice.

Youtube is not something that will get fixed through a ROM. It is something that needs to be supported through software. Hence, youtubeplay, the HTC you tube application, and flash integrated web browsers.
I can't comment on the phone call recording software. I don't know anything about apps like that.
I don't see any point to this thread, if you have a question about a rom, ask it in the thread dedicated to that rom.
Also, watch the language. If you are an offending party, know that foul language is a violation of the rules here at XDA and can lead to your being banned. Remember, be respectful at all times, and if you can't do that, then don't post at all.

I am guessing there is still no fix for the nearly non-existent sounds on videos recorded with the TB? Anyone have any idea when this might roll out?
I don't have any problem with my videos
Lucky you, I guess.
Well you don't specify anything so what else is anyone supposed to say. Has it always been like this? If not when did it start? Are you rooted? If so what rom are you running? What kernel are you running?
You can't complain about a problem and just magically expect a fix, provide information and people can help you.
The OP is talking about the dual microphones on the device. These as we know are intended to reduce background noise while on a call, unfortunately they work all the time, essentially canceling out almost all sound when recording video with the stock camcorder. HTC has recognized this as an issue and has stated that a fix will pushed out. As of yet I have not heard of any updates being pushed.

Thanks for the clarification and the helpful response. As an aside, responding that "I dont have a problem with XXX" is not really all that helpful. Thanks for your thoughts though.

hello new here i followed all the directions to a tee got everything install very easy as im not new to flashing roms. i have a rhod400 (sprint tp2) and i have the issue of no sound from the rear speaker when receiving phone calls or anything really. it all comes from the front earpiece speaker. is there a update to flash to fix this? or any easy way to get it working. ive tried numerous times thinking about a bad flash with no luck and yes i have task29'ed it after each to make sure. however the gbx0 3.3.x kernal works perfectly with sound but i like the normal omgb rom better personally for some reason the gbx0 nand rom on my phone seems much slower to respond and much slower going through menus etc for some reason and ive flashed it a few times to make sure
also im running the newest verizon .37 radio as well.
sorry for asking here and not in the thread i needed more posts and really hope someone can help with that. ill be posting more so hopefully will be able to ask there soon but i really wanted to get this fixed asap since i use this phone daily.
Never heard of that before, but I had to move the thread. Sorry.
Good luck & post logs. I doubt it's an issue with the ROM tho, as I run that same ROM myself. Same phone, same radio (assuming you're on the 2.37VZ radio), etc.
You're using the latest OMGB and the latest CWM recovery - not AOSP?
I know that OMGB is using the older kernel, and I want to say that the 3.x kernels got a serious audio code re-write. That could account for the difference. Unfortunately as it seems there is no more development happening in the OMGB rom there will not be support of the newer kernels. Perhaps you should consider using the GBX nand version rather than the OMGB.

The way I read his post was that he tried GBX w/3.x kernel and OMGB, but only saw the sound issue in OMGB. However he wanted to use OMGB as it seemed to have a better performance. It sounds like his issue might be related to using the older kernel in OMGB. Not necessarily so much that he was swapping bits and parts around.

I can confirm I'm having this issue as well on OMGB on my RHOD400. Can't hear notification tones or incoming ringer. Volume level "beeps" when you hit the buttons are also very quiet (at all levels) and come from earpiece instead of speaker.
Logcat with unanswered call and poor volume attached. Also, attaching logcat with info from startup.
I too am still using this as my daily phone...I'm missing calls and pissing people off (not that I care) due to this. It used to fix after a reboot, but now it's just stuck like this.
I'm seeing permissions issues trying to access the audio*.csv files from the SD Card, it looks like it finds a default instead. I'm not sure if this is normal.

Yeah, seems that it is a d802 only problem. I'll wait a little more until start to work on it.
Can you just answer one thing for me? Your microphone is low too? (cm13.0, cm12.1 has a mic bug.)
Just increasing values in mixer_paths did raise the volume. Problem was that it started to distort sound on the highest volume step. The solution was to flash viper4android, it made it possible to use a high value and not get sound distortion. D802
Sure, no problem... My girlfriend has been complaining that she doesn't hear me loud enough since I flashed 12.1, will have to test it on my own though by switching phones with her and will let you know... Editing the mixer_paths is not the solution because of the distortion, as stated above, and also the volume isn't quite linear in the final 3 steps, it's like it is jumping over two steps... Or we can't find the correct setup for the file... It can't be that we need to change just one (or three) value(s)...
d800 5.1.1 while recording at times when sound was loud it would sound very low at that part when record was played.. also using whats app audio messages it will start high for a second then very low, but only my messages that i sent recorded with g2 phone, the other end or friend could hear me out clear and loud just normal. and i could hear they messages loud just normal. only thing was my messages recorded with g2.

I have an LG G2 D801. I flashed crDroid 6.0.0 a few day ago. Speaker volume is very low. I have no idea how to increase the volume!! Tried Viper4Android but I don't even notice a difference.
When I call someone, they can hardly hear me.
Does anyone know how I might increase the speaker volume for my phone? Any good advice will be appreciated.
I remember a time when people were helpful on XDA. They would share knowledge, help others who know less. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
I have referred many friends and acquaintances to XDA Developers, telling them there are many very experienced guys - and girls - who are happy to help you... It gives many of them the experience they need.
But a number of these people would tell me that the people on XDA are, basically, jerks! Rather than complain along with others, I hope to get through to at least one of you.
XDA began as a site where anyone with a specific handheld device could ask any question in order to get help...with any problem they would encounter. It grew and added other devices. Now XDA has become the most reputable go-to site for help with any kind of phone. If anyone knows anything about phones they know XDA Developers.
Guys, this should not be a place to show-of, or to be rude or intimidating. Often, there are people with questions, or need help, advice...and they don't know anything. These are the people who need help the most. Your help. Please treat people the way YOU would want to be treated when YOU did not know anything at all. That is all I ask.
Thank you.
I have d802 and i had to change mixer_paths to hear voice navigation commands during driving my car. The speaker audio is low and changing paths was the solution. It is true that there is a little distortion but when you set CM built in Audio mixer properly then no issues.
@CiscoKydd
If you are using the CM then you could edit the mixer_paths to raise the speaker volume output (have no idea about mic) or you could install cutom CAF kernel for d801 and then change the speaker and mic gain via Kernel Auditor.
I have no knowledge about the d801 kernels because I personally have the d802 version.
Thank you, @sunekosuri. I increased volume by editing mixer_paths. Volume increased to the point of distortion.
As for the mic... Well, that goes on my To Do list.
Thanks again, Sunekosuri.
Now I used to live with this very low sound. Camera and sound are the only issues I think of going back to stock.
hey, i was facing the same problem using last nitly from cyanogem mod 13 on my lg g2 d802 32gb. the only way that seems to boost around 50% the sound ouput was with this app.
hope it help you guys too.

Is this issue fixed now?
Hi all
Please bare with me as I'm not the best when it comes to typing out what im thinking or trying to say
This info is mainly for our awesome devs but also for everyone else. Shout outs to @Unjustified Dev @DrakenFX @tdm and anyone else who can fix this
I was just wanting to help get this fixed as this one bug is keeping a lot of users including myself from moving away from stock and enjoying all the other roms available. I believe the bug has to do with the the work our beloved anonymous dev who helped correct the speaker issues a few months ago. Specifically this---> https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/168154/.
I'm pretty confidant it has nothing to do with any of the different modems people are flashing. I have tested this with all of the different modem versions for my G variant and none have made a difference
Also, there are other users that are getting this bug confused with another potential bug that has to do with distorted sound coming out when activating speakerphone while in call or something like that. I have not experienced that bug so I dont know the specifics. People are just using the term "Speakerphone bug" as both of these bugs involve the speakerphone
Now I can create the bug at will and have attached logcats below in the different scenarios. Hopefully the info is there for those who know how to fix
The steps I do to recreate the bug are as follows
1 - unlock phone and using the volume buttons, make sure the ringtone is NOT set to vibrate/silent and Do Not Disturb is NOT activated.
2 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, no issues. Person on the other side can hear perfectly. Repeat as many times as you want, sound always comes through earpiece
3 - using volume buttons, reduce ringtone volume to vibrate/silent or turn on Do Not Disturb
4 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, Hang up
5 - With the ringtone still set to silent/vibrate, turn the screen off using the power button and let it sit for about 5 - 10 seconds
6 - Unlock the phone and try to make a call. Call will connect but no sound will come from earpiece. Person on the other side can hear everything as per normal but we cant hear them
7 - While in call, toggle the speakerphone or if you have dial pad sounds enabled in the sound menu, press a number on the dial pad, sound now comes through earpiece as expected
From my testing and the procedure above, you can see that the bug happens when the phones ringer is put in silent/vibrate or when do not disturb is activated and the phone is locked/unlocked.
logcat 1 is with everything working normally, ringtone set to sound and call coming through earpiece as expected
logcat 2 is with ringtone set to silent and making a call. No sound comes from earpiece
logcat 3 is the same as 2 but during the call toggling speakerphone to fix
Now I dont know what is going on in the logs but I do see a lot of errors from "TFA9890"
This was all done on a fresh install of the universal bootloader, twrp 3.1.1.0, A2017G N Modem, latest LOS and Open Gapps mini and logcats were captured with MatLog on my G variant
Oh see this is Incredibly interesting, because tfa4990 is the route being used.... This is potentially incredibly helpful!!!!
I'm going to analyze these I've the weekend and see if I can figure something out. Thank you for the logs
Interesting timing on this post. I've been working on the axon7mini the past 10 days or so, and it also uses the tfa9890 amp. So I've started to familiarize myself with how all this stuff works. (I have pretty much zero experience with android audio in the past).
Fantastic post, well done. I have only encountered the problem a couple of times but upon reading what you wrote a little light bulb went off, that is exactly the situation that it occurs for me as well. It's this sort of interaction and support between the users and devs at xda have that makes it all so worthwhile. Thanks again.
As someone who's dealt with this bug for a long, long time... I have to commend you on a fantastic post. Thanks, and I hope this leads to a solution!
I hope this is looked into in the process of porting LOS 15. Would be cool to see this issue disappear.
Would this bug also happen on the U variant? I tried to recreate it using the steps above and it worked fine.

I think I have read somewhere that it is not affecting U which might be the reason this has not yet been fixed but I cannot remember where I read this.
We would need the logs from an U variant to check if it looks the same.

It does affect the U variant. I have one and it happened a few times that when I would call someone I had no ringing tone coming from the earpiece unless I toggled the speakerphone on/off.
same problem here in a2017g aosp extended...
So I take it we can give up trying to solve this? Seems to exist in all non stock roms.
Wish someone would fix it. I don't even know where to begin, and with what I've read about the axon 9, i wont be switching phones for quite some time.

did you guys try the fix that @Miustone plasters all over XDA?
@Miustone Could you make a flashable zip with ONLY THAT ONE FIX for the Fluence stuff? Pretty please?

Fluence settings will not fix driver implementation. Miustone's claims are misleading. I have tested it to death
The only way to fix would be by a Dev with audio skills. Good luck finding one. I've tried
Stay on a stock roms or risk not hearing in calls in other roms

I fixed all Mic Bugs, Just the Echo is left which seams to came from /system/vendor/etc. Don't blame Me for the Bugs, i never touched the Sources of the Axon 7 and besides Kranoner has No Dev ever asked Me about it again. That My Patch is fixing Bugs means Just that there are Things Missing which are working and present on other Devices too...
I was coming from the LG G5 which has used almost the Same Fluence and Mic Configs as currently present in the Patch. Point.

Well, you have a chance to prove it! Make a flashable zip with ONLY the call bug fixes. If it actually fixes their problems then they'll believe you. otherwise they're right not to.
It's next to pointless using a custom rom if you want a good daily driver.
I bought this phone because I thought things like this could be solved this day and age but I won't be making that mistake next time!

Omg who is blaming you for bugs? Your claiming you fixed it but many others still have this issue
This thread is not about mic issues. Please re-read first post and for the hell of it, check out the logcats. They might help you actually fix it
Unless your digging into the audio/dac driver code, I'm doubtful it will ever be fixed
Why do yall think its the driver? I dont have any problems with audio, its how the Phone app is handling it. If i was to debug this I would check the source for the Phone app and trace it from there. It seems like something might not be using the driver correctly, but the driver seems to be working fine. I could be wrong but I'm not new to linux and android, just no experience with audio development.
Maybe try installing stock phone app on LOS or RR and see if it still has problems. That would either show where the problem is or eliminate Phone app from being source of problem.
