[Q] Cyanogenmod alternative, without the bugs? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using CM 10 for a few month now, and am very happy with the performance.
However, there are two bugs/missing features that cause me to start looking for another ROM:
1. No voice dialing through a BlueTooth headset. Voice dial only works without a headset, unlike the original ROM's S-Voice.
2. Not possible to record two-way calls (only through the speaker, which sucks).
Can anyone recommend a different custom ROM without these drawbacks?

Call recorder app solve the 2nd problem, it was featured on xda portal few days ago. The 1st problem is pretty minor. PA is a good alternative, or give temasek's cm10.1 unofficial for simple and smoothness.

Call recording?

I've tried CM10.1.3 stable and Liquidsmooth roms on my I9300 and am currently using Liquidsmooth 2.10 (Android 4.3) as my daily driver which I'm very happy with. However - call recording doesn't work! I used to use Galaxy Call Recorder when I was running stock Samsung android, but this no longer works. Anyone know how I can make it work? Or what roms might be better for call recording?

Tried that one, it only seems to record one half of the conversation rather than both. If the other party speaks loud and there's no background noise you can just about make it out. I used to be able to record from incoming and outgoing channels and thus loud and clear for both. Anyone know how to do this with liquidsmooth, or know of a GS3 rom which allows it?

If you read the thread, you'll find that you'd need to tweak the settings to find what works for you.

[Q] audio input - mic routing problems

Hi all, I've inherited a used Evo3D GSM phone which works very well except for one important issue. The Mic seems to be failing.
I'm not completely sure if this is a hardware problem or just routing.
Strangely enough, with ICS based Roms, the phone is using the earpiece (?!) as microphone; when I speak with my mouth near the earpiece sound is crisp clear on the other side but when I speak to the Mic it sounds muffled (because in fact sound input seems to be set to the earpiece and the mic is not active).
When I switch to VoIP calls using CsipSimple, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice. Only when I go into CsipSimple settings and change "Audio mode for SIP calls" from IN_Communication to IN_Call, the phone works as in a regular call (with earpiece as input, mic dead).
With other, JB and KK based roms, I've had different results; CsipSimple always crashes, no matter what settings I use and phone calls audio are always broken (no input).
Has anyone had similar issues? Can u use CsipSimple without problems on JB and KK based Roms?

[Q] SGII Speakerphone silent in call

Hi, I'm having a strange problem not hearing anything in loud calls.
The scenario is following: I dial the number, the other party picks up (or the other way round), I switch to loud speaker and...can hear nothing (neither from the earspeaker, nor from the loudspeaker). Microphone works normally as it should in the loud call - the other party hears fine. Normal calls (not loud ones) also work fine. Speaker itself is also working - ringtones, music are played.
I'm on the newest AOSP Neatrom 8.0st (KK 4.4.4) and Apolo Kernel 7.1. No other issues so far.
I'm quite new to custom ROM/kernel flashing, also I only recently got my hands on Samsung GII. Sorry if this is a stupid question. No reasonable search effort gave me good results. I'm asking this before I ruin my successful combination of ROM/kernel flashing another ones.
Thanks. Martin
Ok, problem solved by clean re-flash of ROM and kernel.
Still I would like to understand where the problem could have been. Just if it reappears...

[Q] [Z2 Sirius] Known Issues List / Bug Lists for Lollipop

I've spent the last hour hunting for a Bug List for CM12 or AOSP Lollipop on the Z2, but I can't find anything useful. I'd love to install AOSP on my Z2 but I don't see the point if any of the hardware is non-functional.
Can anyone point me at the list of known issues for CM12, or the common ones for AOSP roms?
Do any of the ROMS actually have the Camera, WIFI, BlueTooth, Data, Tap to wake, etc all working well enough for a daily driver?
The only thing I found is the Known issues list on the CM12 WIKI but it was last updated 3 months ago, and the list looks way to short to be true.
As far as I tried it, only problem is the speaker is not working on calls. I mean you can make a call through the earspeaker, headset, Bluetooth etc. but you can not make it through the speaker. The sound just won't come out.
Other than that everything works.
Compared to stock Sony software;
-Google photos app isn't full screen unlike Sony Album.
-it's still far better than many phones on the market but Sony's Walkman sounds slightly better than CM's music apps.
-CM's music and call sounds are noticeably higher, but slightly worse on quality
-no Xposed for Lollipop yet
-when using Sony software, I always use it on power save mode but on the AOSP Lollipop, the top bar is orange when powersave mode is on. That's annoying

Sounds like there aren't any really big issues to worry about unless you need to put a call on loudspeaker, which I almost never do. It's bound to be a few months before we see lollipop arrive from a the mobile carry. Think I'll pick a ROM and try it out.

I'm on CM12 and the issues I have come across so far are
loudspeaker not working and earpiece not working on whatsapp calls.
There are some random force closes in the camera app
As a daily drivers it's good enough.
You cannot hear any sound on earspeaker from apps like Viber or Skype.. Voice on Loudspeaker is working fine during Internet calls.
My speaker does not work at all in any app or in calls. Also, Double Tap to Wake does not work.
Here is list of CM12 bugs that i came across. Not official. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/103915-cm-12-nightlies/

[Q] Sound recording issue since CM_10.2 (shazam, snapchat, camera)

Hello,
I don't understand, there's tons of people using custom roms on C6833 device.
There's toussands of hundreds people that has at least tried to record their voice, their landscape, their street, their home.
How couldn't anyone notice that the sound recorded is inaudible ?
Even shazam can't recognize a well known music.
My snapchat friends don't hear me on their android and iphone nor on windows phone.
I had to switch back to stock to have some "stock audio recording".
It's like something is blocking the microphone when a custom rom is installed based on any cyanogenmod, rc, stable, nightly, ver 10.2 , 11, 12.
I have even tried to report this issue for a stable version of cm on kit kat with a log on jira.cyanogenmod, but I couldn't run the test the good way, gave up, they closed my report.
Please, anyone that understands codes, sources, developpements stuff, ask users, ask (wait, I'm gonna create a poll)
So my question is: Do you have a decent volume recording while you are using your camera app on cyanogenmod 10.2 or 11 or 12 ?
Witht the camera app, with snapchat, with shazam, with voice recorder app ?
Do your friends hears you ?
Do shazam recognize something at a decent level of your computer/radio ?
Do you hear yoyrself as on a stock rom when recording with a memo voice ?
Moderators: if I post this in Q/A, nobody will react, this issue is not taken seriously, I think that nobody records anything, this happens since I own a custom rom except when I relock the bootloader and use my stock laggy rom.
Please, make it know cm devs, ask every krait-400 based devices owners if this is still happening.
Poll seems to not work:
Even if you are a z1 owner, do you noticed the non-record of your audio when using anything that needs sound source ?
Did you ever tried to record a video with your device before and after flashing ?
End (want to delete it moderators, then delete it, but I already tried everything, I'm pissed of switching back on stock just for the sound recording works perfectly and losing the beauty of lollipop) + I hate kit kat stock with preinstalled apps
To mention: I even were on cyanogenmod.forum to discuss about it and nobody seems to take care of that issue, it's like they deal with it like I will have to do and like I have always been
