Source pack got pushed out last night, Waiting on AOSP for their v1 download. I don't think we shall be seeing AOKP based ROM's for a while, libs are completely off the chart and alot of new stuff added, so gotta rework the MOD from what was standalone and what replaced system files.

There is however some good vs bad news. Good news is AOSP libs work on Stock, bad news is AOKP/CM10 libs no longer work on stock as it did on 4.1.2 which is why the MOD will probably be based off 4.2 AOSP..until something changes. ParanoidAndroid is also going full on AOSP now so Im curious as to how AOKP/CM10 will pick up with this.

What does this mean? The MOD will probably have 2 versions now, Stock/AOSP or a completely stand alone AOKP only. Also means the MOD might now not have backward compatibility aka flashing the MOD for 4.1.2 will fruitloop it or freeze on starting apps.

Noozy and EIZO might now have to be pushed to somewhere else than data/app as filesystem wise Google has completely changed a few things in 4.2 (I was wondering why they didn't do this for 5.0 instead started it off as 4.2) AOSP team also mentioned 4.2.1 will be out soon next week or end of this month to fix alot of issues such as

-Wakelock hiccups

-Google Voice force closing Messages

I trust Google know's what they're doing so I'm all ok with it. If this was Crapple, I would have raged hard at how they are breaking things 1 by 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
CM10 will likely get rebased on 4.2 so you could always wait for that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I was hoping for that, was waiting for the next 48 hrs to see what was going to happen, Got Cyanogen on Google+ so Ive been checking constantly on their news. Market has seen better days as most of the widely used apps have updated themselves with 4.2 compatibility.

Any news on when CM10 is pushing their release?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
I read on Android Central that with the 4.2 update, cm10 will be bumped up to cm 10.1. So the cm10 team is reworking their code so that it'll play nice with the new file system being used by Google. I figure if Google tackles the beast now with their introduction of the new file system, then any other OS updates from here on, leading to 5.0 will bring a lot more interesting and cool things. Just an opinion though. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Oh definitely! Multi-user support is super cool. I'm going to completely wipe my N7 over the holidays and start from scratch with 4.2 to take full advantage without any of this "legacy" crap. Tempted to do so on my GN too but it's not as big of a deal since there's only one user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Update is out for GV: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Try to explain to your woman slowly, why you need to wipe the tab, and why she's losing her MyLittlePony save Hahaha! :cyclops: and why she needs this "update", I tried explaining to my woman why I was late on my message replies , said I was updating the phone and she gave me the whole "You always update your phone?" just gave her the "It's Nexus babe, Daddy Google likes to spoil us like little girls"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Hahaha, that's hilarious! Last night I was *****ing about the new Clock app and saying how Google seems to slowly be ****ting all over the Holo UI unity that made ICS so great, and she was like "why don't you just keep running the old version?". Because Nexus, goddamnit! :p Girls don't get it.

Seriously though, first the new notification pulldown and now Clock.. Considering they're more text and font based than anything it's like they're slowly pushing to this new hideous Metro-inspired UI. I fear for Key Lime Pie. And what the **** is up with the red accent colour in Clock? Assholes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hahahaha same boat here buddy! Tried explaining to my woman what Nexus was, felt it went over her head the minute I said 'its the best Google phone out there' and she's like 'if it's that great why are you suffering with updates' woman has a point LOLOL but dammit its Nexus! **** breaks and we have to find fixes!

I was annoyed as heck by the whole lock screen widgets. They just make the lock screen laggy and slow. Plus I get confused at times with what I'm tapping and unlock into the clock app at times. I admit I fell in love with the whole clock app, was weird at first to get used to without any text, but the ability to add world times made it feel like I wasn't far from home :rolleyes: But what's up with the damned lock screen clock? Either someone forgot to highlight and make it both <b> or someone working at Google has his left eye grade way lower than the right eye.

Took some time but I got used to it. There is just way too many changes in 4.2 that I'm getting used to. Like ever noticed Daydream in Display settings? Change the settings to when charging and it's pretty sweet. It turns into one of those picture frame display units or a giant wall clock. The toggles aren't really toggles but it's something. What they missed here they can boast about it on 4.2.1 end of this month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Not sure if you knew but if you tap the Build number a bunch you get Developer options back in the Settings menu. Tapping the Android version number then longpressing the image brings up the Android Easter egg still but also adds it to Daydreams as "BeanFlinger" :)

As for the toggles.. yeah. Sort of useful as shortcuts on the N7 but useless to me on the GN. Plus makes an extra step to get to Settings which is annoying the **** out of me.

j4velin's excellent Notification Toggle app continues to come to the rescue though. Here's my solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23618405#post23618405. Check the JB2 screenshot. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
That's also all it takes to be a developer these days. You don't even need to know Java!

Now who do I need to talk to about getting a sweet Recognized Developer badge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremysherriff:
I'm a Notification Toggles guy too, have noticed that with 4.2 the option to "collapse notification bar" no longer has an effect - can you confirm this by any chance?

NVM ;) he's already found and fixed it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34075003&postcount=1131

This louder nexus utility may not help you if your Samsung Galaxy nexus has hardware problems with the speakers...!!!

READ ON REGARDING SERVICE ON BUSTED SPEAKERS....(forgive me for yelling loud)

I send my galaxy nexus to the official hardware service.I could hear people when i spoke on the phone but the external sounds were very poor.

This was the reason i rooted my phone and installed custom roms and utilities like this one,however the improvements were not good at all.

I could not hear the phone.

So i had no option but to send my phone to Samsung for repairs.

The technician told me that lots of phone like mine had hardware defect on the speaker.

Now that my phone is returned i can hear the notifications and alarms,i am on 4.1.2 official by google (had to unroot phone and install rom 4.0.4 to send it to the service),but they installed 4.1.2 and fixed the speakers.

Spread the word.Many samsung galaxy phones have faulty speakers.

Even if you install his utility or others it wont help you if there is hardware problem.

If you are on warranty uninstall any custom roms install google stock one and request service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Soo... I'm assuming you tried this mod with your new phone then? Also any idea on how you would know if it's got a defect. Not being able to hear it is just placebo effect of the phone at times. General volume is low so getting used to that is normal. Best notification tones are 8bit ones from Mario or zelda or classic snes games. They are pretty loud and with this mod its pretty tight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
At first my phone sounded ok,then suddently after 10 days i could not hear the ringtones,i noticed low volume,and music was impossible to hear,then i rooted the phone,used custom roms,used this patch others,but saw no improvement.

I send it to the service and the technician told me it is a hardware defect of the speaker the fact that i have so low volume and they fixed it.

I assume lots of other people may have the same problem.As for many the louder nexus works but for many others it seems to not do something.

I did extensive tests,i could not hear the ringtones even in the most silence room.

+the technician told me that it is a hardware defect and the fact that lots of people have sent their phones for fix to the samsung service seems to mean i am not the only one.Maybe this has to be noted.It's not a problem of Google but Samsung,that probably chose bad speakers for many phones.If you have a busted speaker louder nexus or other patches cannot do something to fix.If phone is OK,the modification of such utilities will do ,but for hardware problems then there is nothing you can do other than to send it to the technicians to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Just curious as to whether or not the mod has been made compatible with 4.2 yet? I noticed reading through the forum, people were bootlooping. I just wanna get all my ducks in a row before flashing any 4.2 ROMs, cos music doesn't sound the same anymore for me without the mod. You and osmosis have spoiled my ears a bit. Thanks again for your guy's hard work and awesome product!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nope. Nothing's changed since 1 page ago. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
So far working on it, AOSP has released their zip but there's not much I can do about it, mentioned a few posts back what would happen if I based the MOD off AOSP and not AOKP.

Osmosis had a major point when he said to wait on CM10 since their release is out soon, if anything I'll test out that and base it on that. 4.2 has ALOT of things that need to be fixed, bugwise.

Me? I've done about 30% , fishing and waiting for the big one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Alright thx gentlemen! The dig one will come...LMAO on the gif!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
So while we wait for the updated build of this mod, what settings do you guys recommend we change in Alsa Mixer to get our fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
i was just gonna ask if this mod worked for android 4.2. i just installed it on my galaxy nexus. i flashed the NexusLouderV5Beta2.zip and i got the bootloop issue. but then i flash NexusLouderV5Beta2-Revert.zip and the bootloops went away but i dont notice a difference in the sound so i dont think its working. this sucks lol i freaking love this mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Haha. Revert means revert. The patch is gone, that's why the bootloops went away and why it "isn't working". :p

Also this type of crazy behavior is why I made V5b3, "idiot proof edition" ... which I can't get my head around why you weren't using instead of V5b2 ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
oh haha i didnt think what revert meant:eek: lol. fail on my part. but i meant to put v5beta3 and v5beta3 revert not the 2nd version lol. i cant use the v5beta3 because all i get is bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yup. Everything's broken. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
I might go back to 4.1.2 just because I can't really hear my phone without this mod :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well that's weird o_o cause I managed to revert anyways.

You can either

-Dirty flash the deodexed/odexed ROM, but you may need to apply the mod again (If you are on 4.1.2), But I strongly despise dirty flashing until it's come to the point where you don't wanna lose stuff.

-Use ADB @ CWM to push the required files to the location. (Extracting the files from a zip ROM and pushing them to their destination)

On another note, I'm trying to figure what changed in audioflinger.so in 4.2, It's been mind boggling since absolutely nothing in the audio_conf and effects have changed, not even the bit rate. Wonder if they "Accidentally" screwed something up, It's possible as there are 5 major bugs reported, 3/5 which got fixed.

At some point I got really annoyed of flashing everything I wanted on 4.1.2 back again, just combined the [4.2Keyboard+Camera + NexusLouder + S3 Sounds + N4 Sounds] all into one nice flashable zip to save me the trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Out of curiosity, did you happen to test to see if vonVideo's volume boost works in 4.2? It doesn't use audioflinger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I did actually and it worked, surprisingly but there is distortion from being too loud x_x still works as a temporary fix, kinda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
****! Don't I know it! I tried asking him to reduce the boost by a few dBs but I got shot down by like 3 people who like to keep their phones at half volume all the time. Okay, seriously, why are you using a volume mod to keep your **** turned down? GTFO. A good mod should never push the speakers past what they can handle at full volume, just take it right up to the edge.

My other problem with that mod was that I was getting weird little "blips" - audio artifacts - every now and then, with system sounds, music, games, wherever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I was actually surprised at first it worked (So he's based it off stock it seems) and YEAAAAH! Those blips! I thought I was the only one! I was scared at first thinking it was something with 4.2 and so I stayed without the mod for a day and thought it was "normal" and I didn't hear those blips. It comes up when you reboot or something like popcorn which actually keeps me on edge on how long till my speakers meet their maker.

And seriously, if you have tried with full volume on headphones + Trinity (Franco's didn't boot for me :( and so I read all your posts on that thread about how it breaks the binary and how you uploaded a fix) with Volume Booster it's actually intensely distorted! Tried Noozy+EIZO+That+TrinityBoost and it was just that distorted and dangerous that I deleted the lib and reverted to 4.1.2 (I honestly feel 4.2 isn't all that great, Infact there are quite alot of let downs about it, Feels like Pre-ICS). I hate keeping the phone on 5/7 steps or 4/7, Buying a phone = I should be able to hear it ring or else I would have bought a vibrator or some sort of pager If I wanted to not hear my phone.

His work's great, no doubt and I applaud that, but user feedback plays a big part on improvement! No offence but on my perspective, sometimes when a developer is hard to approach (When you're like oscar from Sesame street) :eek: is why I don't wanna risk collaborating despite were targeting the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Try f.K r313, he just uploaded it. ****ing glorious. He pulled out all of Ezekeel's audio **** though since it was buggy as hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
As far as I know all audio related mods are messing up. That's just great considering it's the biggest problem with the GNexus, nice move Google :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
The headphone jack and high performance tweaks were always bugged though. Franco's just trying to slim it down to the stuff that stably works I think. Maybe add it back in later if he fixes it or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Just saw his response and damn that fast move :D Being on a custom kernel is better than not being on one at all. Can't believe there are 13 releases past 300 so far. It's only been 3 days!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Haha he is one epic dude. 10 of those builds were internal burn-offs while he got the JB4.2 kernel source working, but still. Apparently it's just crazy sticks and he had to basically start from scratch with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well current one seems pretty good, only issue is the phone tends to freeze when having too many ram consuming applications like G+, Chrome and YouTube. G+ Just tends to open what it feels like lol. Just froze for a bit then FC'D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmedsaber20005:
When version will be available from Mod for Android 4.2 with the official Stock Rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Still working on it buddy. No 4.2 support as I'm waiting on CM10 so we can make a general support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elpollo0110:
Is possible that you make this fix for JB 4.2, thank you.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No.Go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
While I wait for the high performance audio to be fixed, I'm t using the alsa mixer app to force high performance audio. That plus noozy and my music sounds great again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
That's all good all except the settings don't stick and you need to apply them every restart. Plus the libs on that app needs to be updated again since it's not 4.2 compatible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
Can't wait 4 a 4.2 update!!! ;):):beer:I didn't release how much your work helped till its gone...:(:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kooldude.4141:
I miss this mod. And i hate 4.2's audio. It sucks that much. The speaker volume is too low, imo it seems lower than 4.1.2. Not to mention there is hardly any bass even after installing eizo,equaliser etc! Waiting for this awesome mod. Thanks to you for this mod man! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I love how it says "Raise volume above safe level? Listening at high volume for long periods may damage your hearing." How can that low volume damage my ears, lol? Nexus' highest volume is iPhone's 60% :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
My Nexus' speakers seem louder on 4.2 than 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I was thinking that too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Gah so far 3 failed attempts. Anything replacing system libs goes into a loop. AOSP pack isn't helping much, I can only assume there's no 4.2 ROMs yet because everyone's having just as much as a hard time as I am :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
I strongly believe many of these phones have defective speakers.after i sent it to samsung for repairs i can hear at very loud levels.these applications work only if speakers are good.i assume a large ammount of phones has problems.phones are spposed to be heard ,at least ringtones.if that doesnt work well and you are on stock rom,then send it for repairs.like i said before the samsung technician told me lots of peoplethat had this phone sent it there with speaker volume issues ,and all had defective speakers unable to have correct volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hmm yeah I get it but nothings wrong with my speakers. They're perfectly fine. It's the phone in general that has low audio. If it was just me then this thread wouldn't have over 150+ pages buddy. Let's be logical here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Guys,

I've got a GNex and an N7. Recently, after flashing, I forgot to flash this .zip in recovery, but did install Rewire Pro from the Play Store. It definitely works on both devices, as you can hear the changes when switching from Unique III to Audiophile, etc... So what is the flashable .zip for?

Second, when Rascarlo updates BBJ to 4.2, should I uninstall Rewire Pro before flashing? Or does it matter? I'm on franco r300 and r25 on each device.

Thanks,

RF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Flashable zip is for those who want to fix the problem that comes with their phone. The audio (everything's written on the OP) since we got partnership with dogsbark is why we're using eizo instead of DSP. They both work hand in hand and definitely a treat for your ears. Eizo in itself is a music experience and the difference you're hearing is placebo effect because one has higher db than the other. It's like listening through glass and without it. Hence why it's a 10-15% loudness fix.

And nope you don't need to uninstall it. But every audio related mod needs to be reworked. Franco pulled the audio quality mod from his kernel and I suppose morfic will too. They need to be reworked for 4.2 and everyone is waiting on CM10/AOKP updated source pack.

Currently working on an AOSP based one but it's backward compatibility is failing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Thanks for the reply. So Rewire by itself does 'something', but both it and the .zip files are the best combo. Got it. Thanks for your hard work.

RF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Exactly. I would implore you to try it with 4.1.2 as 4.2 is still under works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] balabok:
Well. I'm going back to 4.1.2. for now and wait for the dust to settle. I really like 4.2 but I need HQ sound. This is the best sound mod I've heard so far. Very close to my RockBox'ed Sansa Clip+amp rig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicasoft:
I did notice a difference... about 10 to 20% improvement... really good actually.... excellent mod... works perfect on stock 4.1.2 with stock kernel....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GerManiac:
Really missing this on 4.2 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
I was too went back to 4.1.2 and have great sound a great ROM a great kernel ... I will wait w/ old greatness till new buggy ness becomes great meaning I will wait for all my faves to update and get stable... I wish I would have done this to begin w/ I probably wouldn't be stuck w/ a 0/0/0/0 file problem... ;):)

God Bless...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
Sure i have no doubt this application does wonders.and works,however for some reason i think Samsung must have really messed it.When i bought it had low audio output,that got really worse,now the volume is high and normal,and i can listen to ringtones and mp3s and the phone does not seem to have low volume.This is contrary to what people say that nexus has low volume output.Maybe there are many phones that need service and probably Samsung really messed up by using low quality speakers that may not work after a little time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I agree, Samsung really cheated us on low quality speakers when they could have done something much better. :D :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
LOLOL with speakers like those, I don't think I'll miss another phone call, ever!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
On another note if nothing shows up for CM10 within this week, I will base one on stock, haven't tested out if current 4.2 AOSP files accept stock libs, but I hear 4.2.1 is releasing this month for various fixes. Wonder which will come out quicker.

(Including the no "December" month on People.apk LOL! After November 31 it jumps to January)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dattack:
The overall volume like key press sound is louder on aosp 4.2 versus stock 4.2 which is annoyingly low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxyNexusPH:
Just one line of code in audio_hw.c and for some reason Google didn't fix it. This has been the cause since 4.0.1. CM has it set to 7 which causes the volume to increase dramatically.

#define NORMAL_SPEAKER_VOLUME_MAGURO 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark-termit:
when the working version for 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Come on! Pretty sure Misledz just gave you a basic idea 3 posts ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
So turns out there is also a bit of a "blip" issue in 4.2 for me. Playing Temple Run the music causes a weird little artifact on the regular now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hshaikh:
I cant wait for the 4.2 version. I have moved to the new OS, and becuase of the whole 0/0 thing, i cant restore my CWM backup either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
You can always dirty flash 4.1.2 then you'd be able to restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Not true at all. official CWM 6.0.1.5 fixes the sdcard/0/0 bug and it's pretty simple to adb shell in when booted in CWM to mv your backups from /data/media/0/clockworkmod back to /data/media/clockworkmod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hmm I've only seen links to 6.0.1.4, as for the 1.5 I got it from Nexus toolkit :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] differentstyles:
Because of your mod I switched back 4.1.2 today. Now I know why I was so happy with. Big thanks to you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
yeah toolkit was using my 6.0.1.5 nightly for awhile now, but koush upped the new version for GN without a revision bump (so still -.1.5) to ROM manager a day or so back. clockworkmod.com/rommanager :good:
