Google Plus Hangout Volume Too Low? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S2X from Koodo (same as the Hercules in Tmobile), and when I was using the stock touchwiz rom, google plus hangout was working fine, but when I use a MIUI or CM10 stable ROMs, google plus hangout volume is really really low. I can hear the other people very quietly, but they can hear me fine. I went to settings, and maxed all the volume settings, and still I can't hear them well. I searched about this on google and many other people seem to have this problem, but I couldn't find any solution. Every thread just ended without any solution. And Google doesn't really reply in their forum. I hate to go back to Touchwiz rom, as I hate the look of status bar where the battery icon is green, and everything is ugly in my opinion. I like the minimalistic look of MIUI status bar, and CM10 or AOKP with minimal theme that makes it look clean.
I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks SO much!

MIUI or CM7?

After running CM7 for quite sometime now, I have to say-- it is quite amazing. There are many things that I admire about it, mainly the customization and the speed. Battery life is not that bad either. But i was just wondering, would you recommend switching to MIUI over CM7, and why? There are a bunch of people who love the MI User Interface, and i was thinking- what is so great about it? I would try it but CM7 is perfect for me..
If you like beauty, come to miui.
If you liked the iphone ui, not all of it, but buttons and menus, then this is for you. Much more options, I can change my boot animation, my icons, my theme with 1 press of a button.
Variety of choices.
Miui is cm7, but with beauty. If you like how android or cm7 looks, keep cm7, you'll hate miui
So if I like stock AOSP, then this isn't for me?

[Q] Lockscreen Music Controls for Google Play Music

Hey there.
I've been using the HTC Amaze for a few weeks and I've had an excellent experience rooting it and flashing custom ROMs. However, Sense UI irks me to no end. I'm currently using Speed Rom 4.0 by EclipzeRemix for the AOSP replacements, and the ICS theme by electronicrice.
This ROM uses the default ICS lockscreen as a replacement lockscreen, which works fine except for one thing - when I use Google Play Music the music controls don't come up. It looks like it wants to do something because the wallpaper vanishes when I listen to music as well.
So here are my questions:
1. How would I go about extracting the CM9 lockscreen and making it flashable onto a deodexed ROM like Speed Rom 4.0?
2. How can I make it possible to add the volume button music control functionality?​
Until the kernel source is released for the Amaze and CM9 can be developed properly, I would like my Sense UI to have the most AOSP experience as possible. I am a bit new to ROM/Application development for Android like this, although I've made a few themes in the G1 days and programming is not a new thing for me. I've rooted Android more than I can count too, and can say I'm pretty experienced in that field.
Any answers you can give me would be great, however try not to post something like "Use Widget Locker instead," as I would like to learn how to make a flashable add-on like this.
Thanks!

I'm fairly sure Apollo Player does NOT stream music from Google Play. Also, see my comment above that reads:

Thanks for the tip, though.

[Q] CM10/Stock Dialer in a Sense ROM?

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but, there is no way to truly have the CM10/Stock Dialer and Contacts be replaced in a Sense ROM like Viper, is there?
I don't usually have an issue with Sense stuff, but the tiny, pixelated Contact photos in the dialer, both when receiving and making calls, is ridiculous!
I tried using CM10 as a DD, but I don't think that ROM is quite there yet for the LTE, yet...
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Check themes and apps for ics/jb dialer and instructions on how to install. It's not exactly ideal, sense framework has a lot of changes that hurt compatibility

[Q] Notification bar problems on JB 4.2 launcher

Hi,
I´m using Hairybean 2.2 RC1 and JB 4.2 launcher. It seems really good but with couple questions concerning the new notification bar.
The upper bar, where notifications and quicksettings are, hides with some apps. Eg. MX-player and games. I cant open them without going to previous apps selection or home.
Is this a more of an apps developers problem or just an feature in the new launcher? Or could it be a problem in ROM?
I haven´t tried any other ROMs cause, I have a replacement digitizer which inverts the X-axis. With Hairybean I can use that invertaxis.zip kernell.
And big thanks to flumpster for that!
I´ve tried to search the forums for any comments on this matter but could not find any.
I do like the new notification bars, so I would prefer to keep them. Don´t wanna go back to the old 4.1 launcher. Although the movement of the back/home/recent apps- buttons to the center wasn´t so good improvement.
Thanks for any comments. My first post. :victory:

AOSP 4.2.2 Phone.apk alternative

I am searching a PHONE alternative (one you see during a call) , I really liked Samsung phone but can't find even one replacement (there are ones only for the contacts and dialer).
I wish there was a Samsung look alike phone for AOSP.
I am with ParanoidAndroid 3.15 ROM on i9100.
Also I miss the green highlight on the notification bar during a call.
If someone know how to write such an phone.apk app, I will pay him nicely.

Not a chance to do that ?
You can try exdialer & contacts.. It's a stand alone app but you can set it to default and it works. Looks very nice, miui stile

A good thing about exdialer is the theme support. So there are many different good working themes. I used exdialer a long time on my lg l9 with a holo theme. Works good stable, fast and Battery friendly. The green lighted StatusBar... I have no idea. When i am on homescreen during a call, so i can pulldown the statusbar and can click hang on or can go back to the telephon screen. Thats enough for me.

I want the in-call app replacement, not a dialer replacment like eXdialer etc...
