Hello everyone, I've posted a thread like this before, but this one's a little different. I have a major issue. It may not be major to others, but its a big deal for me. Let me explain my situation. I feel imprisoned. I want the freedom to run whatever rom that i want on my phone. But the only rom i can run perfectly is Shostock2. It's an amazing rom, with a few tweaks and mods here and there, its the best rom ive ever used. But as an Android user and flashaholic, I want to try out different roms as my daily driver. But EVERY SINGLE rom I've tried has had one infuriating problem, the headphone volume is way too loud on the lowest level. This problem, however, has taught me how to do many things. I've learned how to decompile apks and jars, deodex and odex apks and jars, and edit smali. By learning all this ive tried to fix the problem by myself. I've tried to increase the volume steps from 15 to 30, but i had issues with that since the volume mutes at 16. I've tried running AOSP roms with Fluxxi kernel and used xxTweaker to decrease the volume level, that works for AOSP but i want to run a Samsung rom. So here is where i ask for help, does anyone know enough about the Android system to tell me which file deals with volume control? Or does anyone have a solution to this problem at all? I've tried looking for files that might deal with volume control but the only thing i've found is "AudioService.smali". Which is what i edited to get more than 15 volume steps. I really need some help guys, my poor ears can't put up with loud music. Right now I'm exploring everything in ShoStock2 to find out why the volume control is perfect in that rom and not in any other rom.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Out of curiosity. Why didn't U just PM Shoman and ask him how to edit this? He doesn't bite that I'm aware of.

Interesting.... I don't do any changes that would effect the headphone volume....That I'm aware of anyway. LOL
Well this sucks, maybe it's just my phone or something. Guess im stuck with Shostock2, which isnt a bad thing since its the best rom ever. I guess i'll try to fix the problem on my own. Thanks guys
EDIT: Btw if i do happen to find a fix, which is unlikely but possible, you guys want me to post the fix? Maybe here or make another thread? Not saying i will since finding the fix will be difficult, if there even is a fix.
Just pm shoman and he'll add it to the op I'm sure.

So this is with corded head phones? Volume while on the phone? Music? Which roms have you tried that it is an issue?

Sorry for the late reply. School has started now. But to answer your questions, this problem is with corded headphones, and the volume is loud while listening to music, watching videos, or basically any sound that is playing through the headphones. This problem occurs with all the new roms that ive tried except for Shostock2. This is the longest time ive ever had to stay with one rom. This problem didn't happen on a few roms such as Phone-Bricker and the older AOKP roms.

HI guys over the last few days i have had off i have installed, every 2.2 rom out
all of them. i am insane keep pushing my self to find the best kernel, rom, lagfix combo to achieve perfection. macnut r14 with oclf 2.3 and YA-OK! Yet-another Optimised Kernel (v1.50 Update)
kernel.
but the result is the same APPLY "2.2 rom" "lagfix" apply any kernel. BOOm
NO MEDIA NO SYSTEM volume
deferent i900O kernels like the 1.4ghz something and the 1.28 . same result.
6 deferent Roms, 3 deferent kernels.
tho the incoming call and notification volumes are fine.
anybody know what the files control the audio are??
i'll just go through and replace them one by one until i find a fix.
but witch files must be a general part of every custom kernel.
OK first time i have ever posted a thread so i'll be prepaired to be riped apart by the best and the brightest.
HAY WAIT i figured It out THINK...it's out the audio is playing through the head phone jack when it is not plugged in. When i plug in head phones my external speaker works. hmNN probley simalar to the volume up down issue we had with 2.2 but its on the head phones AW.
sUX still is there an easy fix like over writing a file that contols this or iam i doomed.
I had a problem like this with an older phone. Try sticking a cotton swab with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on it in the headphone jack and cleaning it out and see if that fixes it. Beyond that, you may need for that to be fixed.
Had the same problem with Axura 2.1
I could not figure out why my media wouldn't have sound, as the rocker button would say that the media volume was all the way up. Then I went into Settings > Sound > Volume and the Media Volume there was turned all the way down.
Wrong fourm should be in questions and answers
im sorrie i am not clearer. im a dumb ass
its posted here because it has nothing to do with hardware.
it happen's consistantly over all 2.2 roms and kernels,
want to see what some of us are going through.
put 2.2 oclf and custom 19000 kernel.
any combo will do this.
=)

If you use straight up i9000 kernels the audio logic will be reversed. when notjing is pluggen into the jack, no sounds. When there is something plugged in, audio comes out of the internal speaker. Its one of the first thing eugene or sombionix fixed when they were working on jp3. Are those the problems you are talking about reading about? Because I haven't had or heard about any non rom specific 2.2 audio issues since.

oOh ya after i get everything button up i would love to share this Super fast frankenstein
can i do that via nandroid back up?? i will give it a shot!
i been one the fourms all most allday every day for a week so. figure it would save people some time. IDk if anybody wants to try it let me know
So after doing many hours of searching I truly believe I am the only person with this problem. If for some reason I have missed this problem already and it has been solved, I do apologize sincerely.
I just got a Samsung GS2 with AT&T, rooted it first thing, and flashed the UnNamed ROM. After having it for a few days now, the ringer volume and Alarm volume are too low for me to hear in my pocket. So upon doing a bit of digging, I came across an app called Volume+. I am sure many people know what this is and have recommended it to others with my same problem.
I say again, I have already installed this app!
However, after turning all the settings full blast, level 15 in most cases, there is no change in volume.
Reading more about the app, its SUGGESTED that I flash CM7 and remove the DSP Manager... but I don't want to do that. I don't care about removing the DSP Manager, but I happen to like the UnNamed ROM. Besides, they said they recommend the CM7 ROM but "should" work with others.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated here. I am new to this whole thing, but I do know Linux VERY well and I am not afraid to tinker with things I probably should't.
Thanks again.
Any help here would be great!

You should install mean rom 4.2 and then flash dodova 5.4 kernel.. It provides the best balance of performance, stability and battery life. There also weren't any issues with volume on my end. Its so good that even tho ive upgraded to Mean ICS I have a nandroid of that exact setup

Flash 4.3 then flash Dodova's updated 5.4 or 5.5-test kernel separate. The 5.3 kernel that installs with 4.3 gives a lot of people reboots.
4.2 and 5.4 test was awesome for me work great till I switch to mean Rom ics v0.91 all good just minor issue .
it's all good, battery life is awesome!!!!.... now im looking for a rom that is aosp which one do you guys think is best? with large battery duration and good performance duration... Thanks in advance
every time the phone sits so screen off initializes , apparently the phone completely shuts down at some point ..
a quick tap of the power button to activate display and phones boots to htc logo
any suggestions please I already tried turning fast boot back on and that didn't help at all
edit : running meanROM 4.2 - it did it with .2 kernel and still with .4
I have no idea, I get the same thing, apparently that is a bug they haven't fixed. At least my phone reboots once a day tops with the kernel... Let's ser if we can find out!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
i hope so and if it's a bug it has to be only a very few people using meanrom that encountered it ..
I dont mean to hijack your thread but this is directly related to meanrom 4.3 and headphones. Have you noticed when using music apps if you plug in a set of headphones it causes the fast forward/skip option to be pressed repeatedly? Im kind of wondering if the headphone jack for our phones has the abilities to use a set of headphones with a fastforword/skip button on them and perhaps its just my jack thats deffective. Just curious if youve ever noticed something similar with your phone.

There is a fork of Mean Rom in the CDMA development forum that removes sense as much as possible. I forget what it's called. On a pure aosp Rom, some stuff is broken so I suggest a desensified Rom instead.

Re: CM9 and AOKP
Is anyone else having problems with call echo on these recent builds? I LOVE the customization of them and would like to use them as DDs, but every time I'm on a phone call, the person on the other end of the call can hear themselves talk. This does not happen with any of the other numerous Note ROMs I've tried, and I have yet to see it mentioned in the Dev forum.
I've done full wipes before installing, and have tried all of the different modems, but that darn echo still persists.
If you've encountered this and found a fix, please let me know!
Thanks

Are you happen to be using a volume booster of some sort such as volume+. If not give that a try, people have been saying that has fixed some of there sound issues on these roms.

I have not tried volume+ yet because I was under the impression it was helping people with low volume, not to fix echo issues. I just think possibly a lot of people are having this problem, but they just don't know it yet because no one has told them.
Flash the Inspire mod?

Ah, gotcha
I am also being told of the echo problem during calls. I haven't found a fix for it yet either.
Go another route until they straighten it out. You wont hurt any feelings because no one has to know what rom youre using and if they do, so what...
It is in the infancy stages(AND WITHOUT OFFICIAL KERNEL), once we get files we need, alot of development advances WILL come... Patience grasshopper.
EDIT: and it does belong in Q&A.
Yea I definitely understand and appreciate the infancy of these builds. It's just that it isn't stated in any "known issues/bugs" on any OP (last I checked), and I feel this is far more important to be known issue than "instagram doesn't work". But due to my post count I cannot ask this in the development section.
Thank you very much for the replies, at least I know it isn't something I did wrong.
And THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all of our hard working devs!
Now that you have mentioned it, I also experienced echo while calling. Im using cm9 rom btw. I did not know it was a built related issue. Hope there will be a fix for it soon. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sure, I just hope it gets mentioned in the dev section for CM9/Juggernaut, to let them know it's occurring! Can't fix something if you don't know about it.
Also, I'm glad it's not just me experiencing this - I had my flame-proof jacket on just in case
I'm not having any problems like that. Did you follow the directions for install exactly?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Wow that's so strange. Yes, I followed the instructions exactly, not new to flashing. Even tried flashing FJ's ROM first and let it finish booting and setting up, then CM9 (doing a factory reset after the CM9 flash, as per the instructions), still the problem persists.
After CM9 boots up for the first time, I let it sit for a bit (5+ mins), then come back to it and enter my Google account info at the initial wizard. After letting it sit for a while more (another 5+ mins), I try a call, and the echo is there (on the other party's side). So there are no app restorations or installations going on on my end before placing the call.
Every other part of these ROMs are fantastic, and I get no FC's or any other oddities. Just wish I could resolve this so I can use them. But as Tylerdurdan said, maybe I just have to wait until more source stuff is released.
Thanks for all the feedback
I had serious echo problems yesterday when I tried to talk to someone on speaker. I am currently on the CM9 rom.
I get the echo regardless if I'm on speaker or just normal phone use. Also happens with headphones (earbuds). Anyways, gonna run this by the pros in Dev
Hey fellas,
I updated from perfectly working CM9 last week to CM10 now. I set all volumes to MAX in the settings but have the feeling, that it's still not as loud as it used to be. I just received a phone call and wasn't really able to hear what the other person said, because it was just a notch too quiet.
I looked through the first 10 pages of every SGS2 section but couldn't find a fix. So... is anyone else experiencing this? If so, is there a solution to turn the phone sounds up? (ringer, text, alarm, calls, etc)

Maybe CM10 has that issue , go back to CM9 as i used CM9 and it was awesome experience :good:
The only sound issue that I've noticed on cm10 was using headphones...but you can use ex tweaks/stweaks to get a powerful volume using headphones!

CM10 has some volume bugs. If you don't want them the statement made before is true: return to CM9
However you can indeed install another kernel that support extweaks/stweaks to turn the volume up, but in that way you loose support in the CM10 thread.

bummer... I really like CM10 and kind of don't want to downgrade again
I just remembered that with Lightningrom you simply had a fix - hoped to have something similar in this case so that all sorts of tweaking can stay away from me. haha!
