[Q] I9300 with AOKP - about sound volume level? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I did buy a Galaxy s3. As its arrived, the first thing I did to install aokp rom to my phone, because previously I had Galaxy Nexus - so I wanted to have the same experience Everything was working like charm but only for 1.5 half days. My phone stucked in earphone mode so I had sound no longer from the phone - only from one side of the earphones that also was distorted... The sound chip went wrong - i guess... I know its my mistake because I did not use that phone for a minute as stock to test anything - so I have no experience about with stock rom. But I know for sure, as I installed AOKP rom, and started to test the phone, the sound volume was incredible high on the maximum (like pumping out my brain) I did never have so loud phone like that. Approx on 60% was so loud like my old Galaxy Nexus on 100%. I did not care with that. Wow! - I said: nice n loud, but I will never use on the maximum, it can kill my ears... So I used one day long the phone, than went wrong. I set back everything to stock and sent back in warrranty, probably i'll get a replacement... I dont know yet. When I put back the original rom of S3 I think the maximal volume level was not so loud (on the remaining wrong side. -however, hard to tell because that already was distorted) I know im an idiot, but I want to use AOKP anyway on my replacement/new phone also... I love it, I need it.. But before I install again, I'd like to gathering some information about that rom. I'd like to know, how its handle the audio chip on s3? is there something is different than stock? Whats your opinion guys? Aokp can broke the sound chip in my phone? Maybe the phone was wrong and anyway going wrong in a short time of use like this?
for more information: I used aokp_i9300_jb-mr1_milestone-1 rom
I did not use any unique software.

Ask in or read the rom thread see if sound mods includes or default gain file modded .

[Q] Battery mod and Camera working even under 15% battery?

Sorry for the rather ominious title. But its hard to actually picking a proper title for some subject :/
I have had a SGS2 for a couple months now and I have had a few issues with it that I hope some of you might be able to help with.
1:
I stood at an army training ground and was recording FullHD video with the phone but when it dropped to 15% battery it refused to record anymore or take pictures. Is there some way to "mess with" or hack it to simply keep recording till the battery is dead?
2:
I had a circular battery mod for my phone which worked fine of the original rom which was KE7 for a Nordic phone. But now trying to flash the same battery mod with CWM bootloops my phone . I have tried to see if I can find any battery mods like it, but the only ones I have been able to find so far has been the kind that uses the regular battery icon and just adds the percentage.
I would actually like the circular one as I prefer that one, but is there even one that would work on the KH3 Rom?
3:
I see people mentioned Deodexed and odexed as terms, but what does that mean and what is the actual difference between the 2 of them?
I hope someone might be able and willing to help with either all of the 3 questions or just some of them. And thanks in advance for your time.

I see you use CMW recovery so you must be rooted
this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
Along with the Villain tweak app provides everything your after easily.
There are also lots of themes in the thme section for your tweeking needs
This is a KG6 rom but there isnt much difference imho.
Deodexing basically means files/things are easier to mess around with.
Problem is I like the stock feel of the Rom, hence why I have never really bothered flashing something like MRC, Cynoagen, Villian etc.
I prefer to just keep things normally and then "tweak" the few things I am not entirely happy with. So I was primarily looking for fixes/hacks that could be applied on an existing rom rather then a full new rom entirely.
But thanks for the suggestion regardless

A man after my own heart! thats good because Villain is completely stock Samsung just pretty much Deodexed, no themes no bulls**t.
The only tweaks/themes that are applied will be by you
Also If you like Cyanogen you could always check the version for the sgs2 its pretty complete now only a few things left to sort out (bluetooth being the major one).
Well I just flashed the KH3 rom just the other day and I would like to actually give that one a tryout before deciding to try another rom .
But the only thing that really bugs me is why the phone so stubbornly decides to stop wanting to use the camera at 15%. I mean there must be a hacked camera.apk out there that works for me ratehr then having to flash a completely different rom to get what I "want".

New to Fascinate, coming from Incredible forums and have a few questions.

I have had an Incredible since about October of 2010 and it finally bit the dust and I have moved to the Fascinate because of the price and awesome reviews the phone has received.
I have a few questions about the Fascinate.
What known bugs does this phone have? Are the bugs specific to Froyo, Gingerbread or both?
Which stock ROM is better for this device, Froyo or Gingerbread? (I prefer Froyo for the Incredible)
Is there a mostly stock ROM for this phone that is completely stable, zero bugs and zippy?
What is the best and easiest root method?
Is there anything I need to do before I root?
Thanks for any help.
Take a look at my guide in the general section. Section 1 has i.structions for flashing imo one of the best froyo roms...its just a enhanced version of stock froyo that yields awsome battery life. I also have a section (5) on rooting, but its not needed if your flashing a custom rom. Pretty much all of the latest roms for the fascinate are pre rooted.
Thanks a lot! I will check this out over the weekend.

Welcome to the fascinate forums ej, I too came from an incredible not too long ago so here's a couple things that should help you out.
First, you do not need to root to flash a rom/recovery/whatever. Samsung apparently leaves the security pretty wide open so you're free to flash an alternate recovery in odin then flash the rom of your choice from there. This was a weird concept for me coming from the incredible, and I think a lot of people just assume that you need to root before flashing roms (as that's how it is with moto, HTC, etc) but that's not the case.
I don't know if you prefer stock or AOSP roms, on the stock front, I think there's Superclean, Geewhiz, and TSM resurrection. These should be quite stable stock-ish roms that don't have the bugs that AOSP roms do. AOSP roms (ICS/MIUI/CM7/TSM PoolParty) on the fascinate use a different and faster filesystem (MTD). I can't really comment on any roms but MIUI/CM7/ICS as that's all I've ever used personally. The AOSP bugs that I've run into (currently on CM7) are data issues - data will occasionally drop out requiring airplane mode toggle, or will get stuck on 1x after sending/receiving SMS. Also there's a weird thing where the earpiece volume during calls will default to a high volume (just requires a quick volume adjustment or tasker script). I don't always notice this happening though.
I'll probably think of more later on, those are just the ones that come to mind at the moment. Hope this helps.

I saw you on these forums earlier and recognized you right away, I remember you from the Incredible forums for sure.
Thanks for the help, you answered many of my questions! A few more though...
Is the volume bug with all ROM's or just with certain ones?
How would you rate this phone against the Incredible, and can I use Mesmerize ROM's too? Would you recommend Froyo for this phone or Gingerbread?

The volume bug is something that I've read is an issue with all MTD roms (CM7/MIUI/ICS), but in my experience, I've only noticed it a couple times, and I've only been on MTD roms since I got this phone a month or two ago. What I'm trying to say is, it's a pretty minor concern for me, but I don't actually talk on the phone all that much.
IMO, this phone is a nice upgrade coming from the incredible. Not galaxy nexus-like nice upgrade, but still, considering I sold my incredible for what I paid for the fascinate, it was totally worth it. One of the big things you'll notice coming from the incredible is the screen. I had an AMOLED incredible, and the SAMOLED on the fascinate is *much* better. You get a little more screen real estate (3.7" vs 4") and the display itself is just much more vibrant and closer to the actual glass part of the touchscreen that you interact with. Also, with voodoo color, you can tweak the display exactly to your liking, which is something I've definitely enjoyed being able to do.
Also, if you use your phone as a media player, you will love the WM8994 DAC used in the Galaxy S line. It sounds absolutely amazing paired with the voodoo control (app that lets you tweak sound and display) - considerably better than any ipod I've tested it side-by-side against. The audio quality alone will make it hard for me to upgrade, considering the DACs used in the newer generation devices like the Nexus or Galaxy SII are actually inferior to the one used in the original Galaxy S phones.
There is one downgrade coming from the incredible though, and that's the RAM (384MB vs 512MB), but I haven't run into any situation yet where the RAM was insufficient to do what I wanted to do. Also, if you're in to tweaking kernel things, you can do MUCH more with the kernels on this device compared to the incredible.
I'm not sure about mesmerize roms, I don't think you could use them on the fascinate unless they were modified. Are there any mes-specific roms you've seen that aren't available on the fascinate? As far as froyo vs GB, I can't really comment on that either since I've only used GB/ICS. Now that I think of it, aside from stock roms, I haven't seen any froyo roms around. But that's probably because I got the phone right around when GB finally officially came out for it.

After spending some time with this phone I have some issues with it...
1. Lowest in-call volume is TOO HIGH!
2. Headset buttons don't work other than pause, play, answer, and end. (GAY!)
3. When I end a call and hit the power button to turn the screen off, it comes back on! (with Widget Locker) regular lock works fine to keep the screen off after a call. Hmm
4. Music playback doesn't seem to sound right. (sounds tinny)
5. Volume buttons turn the screen on! (What the hell?)

try flashing the glitch v13.1 kernel, should help with in call volume...thats if your currently on a mtd rom. If your running a TW rom, then use the kgb kernel and use terminal to adjust call volume settings.

1. I'm on glitch kernel and it's fine for me. You can also customize all sorts of volumes but I've just left em at the default.
2. What other functions are besides play, pause, answer/end aren't working? Track skipping? I have a pair of headphones with inline controls and nothing works on MTD roms for me, so your already a bit ahead of the curve in comparison.
3. Sounds like something with widgetlocker, not necessarily the phone.
4. Adjust settings in Voodoo control if you need. Music sounds *amazing* with my setup. I personally delete DSPmanager and just use VC.
5. This is something that can be turned on or off with CM7/MIUI. You didn't say what rom or kernel you're using so it's kinda hard to help.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you what ROM I'm using.
I'm on the Geewiz 2.3 Gingerbread ROM and kernel because I always like some goodies but I try to stay as close to stock as possible for stability reasons. I know the volume issue is with Widgetlocker but it didn't do that on the Dinc so, I have to have something to blame right? Ha...
Do the US Cellular Mesmerize phones have the same issues as our phones? Ya know like the headset control, in-call volume too high and all that?
Oh I gotcha, does the kernel you're using support voodoo sound? If not, I'd try out another one that does and then check out your music. And yes, I think the issues that are common to the phone affect the fascinate/mesmerize/showcase since they're essentially the same phone. I don't know much about touchwiz roms, but I'd suggest looking into a kernel with more features, you might be able to tweak those things that you're having an issue with.

I tried the KGB kernel and it has an option to boost in-call volume but nothing to lower it. The tinny sound issue was my inline remote I use for the headphones, it had a faulty volume slider that needed some cleaning. Thanks for all your help!

Oh okay, I thought all theses issues were probably software issues with Verizon's ROM/kernel. Yes, Geewiz kernel supports voodoo.

Jellybean Rom (Stable)

Hi All,
Quick question for you
I currently have an iPhone 4s but I have fallen in love with Jellybean on my nexus 7, I love the UI. I've had an S3 and rooted it with CM10 and the truth is I really really liked it, but the problem I had was with the headphone jack and the mic getting muted.
Now I'm 99.9% sure the S2 doesn't suffer from the same problem, and I do actually like the S2 form factor
So here's my question.
Is there a stable jellybean (Vanilla, I HATE touch wiz) rom availble thats working for the s2 that I can install, that doesn't cain the battery and works as it should.
I've looked through the forums but some of it has confused the life out of me (Ii managed to install cm10 on the s3 without any issue at all btw, so I'm not totally inept )
Any help or opinions you guys can offer would be lovely and really appreciated
I'm using CM10 as my daily driver for... almost a month i think and right now it's very stable in my opinion; I don't notice any bugs in CM10 yet. I don't understand your mic and headphone jack problem though. It's way more stable than ICS roms in my opinion.

hey
thanks so much for the reply. appreciate it, is the battery life okay on it, google now ok etc ???
i have bowers and wilkins c5 headphones. anyway what happens is that if im on a call on the s3 and im using the headphones if i press the mic button it hangs up the call, which is of course normal the problem is the next time i get a call the mic doesn't work at all on the headphones, you have to unplug them and plug them back in, all very strange ..... tried it on my phone which was running cm10 and then stock ics and then a mates phone which was unrooted and also ics same problem on both.
Best/Stable rom threads are not allowed as they are just opinionated/subjective.
If you want to find good rom, try them and find out or read one of the other zillion topics on this exact subject, no need for another.
I suggest you take your time to read get to know the procedures and then make your decision for the rom that best suit your needs. Thread locked

[Q] Does CM 10.1 run well on Samsung GS3 i9300?

Hello, this will be my first time flashing a custom rom on my phone. As the title says its a international GS3 i9300. Someone told me that cyanogenmod 10.1 isn't stable because Samsung doesn''t release the source code for the exynos CPU. Is this true?
From watching other tutorials and reviews online, it seems quite stable, does anyone have any experience with this? Also I would like to know if everything works ok such as GPS, wifi and battery life.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben.

(1) you should post Questions in the Q&A section
(2) there should be a CM thread here where you can read if the rom is working well, what is not working well, how to flash it etc.
Works fine, but the battery life isnt as good as stock. It have drain issues.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
CM 10.1 has come very far, despite the inherent limitations that a lack of proper sources brings, and it's getting better all the time. I've gone back and forth over the last couple of months, but the recent builds have been so genuinely good and functional, stable and fast and smooth, that I cannot imagine going back to stock at this point.
It's just more comfortable for me in every way. Read, backup, give it a try.
If I had to narrow it down to the key issues I have faced and worked around it would be:
1. The sound quality on the DSP isn't as good as stock, but Boefella takes care of 99% of that.
2. The camera can be difficult, but it's not such a big deal. Touch focus can be annoying, but it works after the first picture is taken manually.
3. The sound on calls can sound muted if no sound is played on a fresh boot prior to making a call, but simply pushing the volume up/down button once on every reboot will take care of that.

Stereo (Dual Speaker) Mod?

Just recently upgraded from the Note 3 to our beloved v10, and I love the change myself. Never did like TouchWiz anyway. I am no stranger to customization and tinkering under the hood with the phone's capabilities, and I was curious on whether or not anyone had any leads into modifying our mixer_paths.xml file to make sounds from the left channel route by default to the top speaker. I will be looking into making it work as best as I can, but I was interested if anyone else has tried and succeeded before I go wild on attempting to make it happen.
Loving this closely knit (such a seemingly minute number of people makes it feel more intimate doesn't it?) community so far, and I am looking forward to see what all we can do as far as development is concerned. I believe that with an official CM, we will see some old favorites make their way into our phone. I can only venture a guess that we will undoubtedly see some Slim and PA variants in the very near future as well as some custom stock builds. Currently running the listed debloated and debranded stock and enjoying it. Who knows, maybe we will get some custom kernels to play with and make the short battery life issue I keep seeing about an end-user issue as opposed to the current belief that it is a manufacturer issue.
The way I see it, as I do with each phone I get, is that we pay a decent chunk of money for these devices; let's see what these bad boys can do. [emoji12]
"Land your plane" tldr; Anyone successfully make this phone play audio out of both the top and bottom speaker by default, thus giving us true stereo sound when listening to media?

I had horrible battery life when I first got my V10, but I did 2 factory resets (One was an accident) and the battery life is great now.
Reset and DO NOT allow google to restore the phone, manually install the apps and sync them.
Myself and quite a few others think that the restoring of data from a different phone is what is causing the bad battery life on our phones.
I normally can get 5 hours screen on time in a day if I need to.
I usually have 2.5 hours screen on time and end the day with ~40% battery remaining.
As far as stereo sound out the earpiece... That speaker is much quieter than the bottom speaker and I do not think it could ever be made to work as you want.
You might be able to get it to output to both speakers at once, but I do not think the top one would ever be loud enough to hear.
Good luck trying though, please prove me wrong.

I believe that with an official CM, we will see some old favorites make their way into our phone. I can only venture a guess that we will undoubtedly see some Slim and PA variants in the very near future as well as some custom stock builds. Currently running the listed debloated and debranded stock and enjoying it. Who knows, maybe we will get some custom kernels to play with and make the short battery life issue I keep seeing about an end-user issue as opposed to the current belief that it is a manufacturer issue.
The way I see it, as I do with each phone I get, is that we pay a decent chunk of money for these devices; let's see what these bad boys can do. [emoji12]
"Land your plane" tldr; Anyone successfully make this phone play audio out of both the top and bottom speaker by default, thus giving us true stereo sound when listening to media?

I have been working on this on and off since I got the phone... Came from note3, with a quick stop at the nexus6... Had the stereo mod on my note as well (shinto kernel). I work on it, (found nothing yet...), then forget for a bit, and try some more... But yes, feel free to go all out... I just don't have the time or patience anymore... Lol

How did it go?
Somebody managed it for the LG G3 so I added the same line of code to our mixer_paths.xml file but it didn't work.
Heres the thread for the G3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/mod-play-media-sound-rear-speakers-t2964956
