[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Was very happy to see the latest "Stable" CM9 released a few days ago. Been using it, and it looks like a winner!

Then I listened to some music. Oi! What the hell, did I just bust my headphones?

The sound quality is awful to say the least. It's always been like this for earlier ICS builds.

Can anyone shed some light as to why CM9/ICS audio quality is really bad? Did a search and all I can find was a thread saying that the RC1 candidate had this problem due to an audio routing issue.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablack01:
Hi,

am looking to flash to cm9's stable release as well and seeing your post has made me think otherwise... so far are there any other bugs or issues you've encountered?

By the way, i've only flashed ROMS a few times, i'm currently running cm7.2.. is there any particular method to follow if i were to flash cm9? or do i just install the zip file through cwm recovery?

thanks mate! cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
The only major issue is the sound quality. I've tried CM7.2 and the sound is superb, with CM9 the drums turn to tin can drumming! LOL

What's worse if you enable any DSP effect (which is fab in CM7.2) it just makes it much worse.

Other than that, the build is stable fast and very nice! It looks like an entirely new phone altogether. Now if we can get this issue fixed on the sound, it would be a proper release!

I've tested using Apollo Player, PowerAMP and Winamp. All of them sound really bad.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
An update. Apparently, the cardboard drumming is only apparent for AAC HEv2 converted files. It goes away listening to anything 128kbps or more. BUT! Sound is still nowhere near as good as on CM7.2. It's like night and day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
This may be an obvious question, but have you installed Voodoo Sound?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablack01:
decided to flash cm9 already last night and everything went really well. flashed it in less than 10 minutes.

anyway, so far sound quality isn't really that bad. I'd say average. it's not great, but not bad. haven't tried any other formats rather than mp3s and wavs but they seem to sound okay.

have you tried reflashing?

Try devil3 ics kernel. Voodoo Sound should fix the probelm ;)

Sent from my GT-i9000, cm10 alpha, devil3 1.1.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablack01:
Thanks for that, tried it out and also decided to flash to TAJB v7.1

It's a JB ROM based on CM10 and the devil kernel. Sound is better. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Thank you all for your replies. Yes, I have installed Voodoo sound. Well done on supercurio for creating that. Unfortunately, all it did was amplify the rotten sound signal. Just hearing louder cardboard drumming on it.

Have posted this issue on the CM forums and haven't received any reply LOL

Testing audio quality on cutom ROMs (CM and AOKP)

Hi there (audiophile here, so haters stay away)! Been searching the forums and Google for a discussion on this, finally found it..

Been looking for a custom ROM for my SGS (I use a SGSII as my actual phone, and the SGS as a separate media player, since I can completely strip the SGS BARE :D ), something to basically turn it from a phone into a media player (like the Samsung Galaxy Player) lol.. Because I heard great things about supercurio's voodoo sound and the wolfson DAC I had to give it a go ;)

As a side note, voodoo sound gives me great amplifications without distortion and the sound is good. I don't think it's leaps and bounds better in QUALITY compared to the Yamaha in the SII, but the amplification definitely is (and I need the amp because I use beyerdynamic 32 Ohm cans which are pretty hard to drive :rolleyes: )

Anyhow, I digress... Tried different ROMS, all with voodoo sound installed (i.e. all rooted). Tried stock Gingerbread, along with CM7.2 (Stable), CM9 (Nightly), AOKP M5 and M6.

Perhaps it is the "placebo effect", but I find the dynamic range and sound-stage is completely destroyed by the custom ROMs (or is it the kernels?).. The only ROM that I can listen to comfortably is the stock ROM (with stock rooted kernel by Chainfire). Does anyone agree with my observations? Would love to see if it's just me or I might be onto something?

I haven't tried CM9 stable on my SGS yet so maybe that's improved. But I am really torn. The stock rom is f***-ing (are we allowed to swear on these forums?!) slow! The phone is nearly unusable compared to AOKP/CM.

So what's the solution guys?! Are we tied to the stock rom to achieve the best audio quality? Or is there a custom rom out there that is lightening fast but preserves audio reproduction quality?!

Please discuss your findings here! :cowboy:

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Thanks for your post there, I thought I was the only one! It looks like we won't get much more assistance as the devs are probably focusing on higher priorities right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts1506:
I too have this problem. I used to have a nokia 500 , with which i had downloaded many original songs from nokia music , but since i used mobile data to download , the songs are 32kbps bitrate.

In cm9 , the bass cracks like anything. in cm10 , the bass is smooth and nice sounding. I tried copying cm10 audio libs to cm9 , but no changes occur.

The only way to solve this problem is to use songs with a bitrate of 160kbps +. Even then , cm10 has better sound quality. CM9 is a lot more stable , wish someone could port cm10 audio libs to cm9
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Damn, cheers for that feedback. Nice to hear that at least the sound on CM10 is good! CM9 music... urgh... A pity since music is a major driver for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhklk4:
I agree with you...Sound quality improves to some extent by using equalizers apk in stock roms

I got good sound effects in vortex ROM & Ac!d player.Please try & let me know

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Well, we have some issues with wifi using ICS not build to Maxx version.

We got a regular razr ics and a maxx build in Brazil. I think Maxx have something diferent from regular razr.

You've to try another rom. I'm not sure you have one especific to Maxx to your region. But you could try the new ota for .EU if the language you use are in there.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gfaza:
Actually, i have the same situation with my RAZR Maxx, bought unlocked unbranded in Colombia, but with Asian ROM, same version as the other user posted.

:(

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Pedro, are you saying if we have an unlocked unbranded RAZR Maxx, it will be unable to load a ROM different from the original region of the phone ?

Is that related with boot loader ? (I'm not an experienced user in this).

Regards and thanks for your support!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] b.o.n.s:
Use LEAP Wifi and setup your wifi connection. I think this will help.

The Razr can't remembeer the correct settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilroy672:
Is there a way that a dev can produce a apk or zip that will allow the abilliity to change the colors of the back and setting buttons of the GS3? Not sure if this has been discussed before or even a thread for this topic.. Just wanted to be able to change the color and use something other than white.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cerv3r:
It's hardware wise you can't do it unless you take the phone apart. If we were able to do it on the vibrant then we would already have the option on the siii

Question why would you want the light on? We all know where they are and what function it does, it's not like every time the screen goes on it will change the function

I used to think the same thing till my gf used my phone and asked how to go back lol. I have it on for 6 seconds now so she doesnt get confused. Samsung really did a good job hiding the buttons when its not lit.

But to the OP...ya cant do it unless you open it up and color it or put a colored film on top the LED.

I'm facing a strange problem that the Wi-Fi get disconnect after sometime when I check in the setting it shows "Authentication Error". I tries almost all available ROMs posted in the forum with different Kernel version but still no success.

If anyone else is facing this problem or have resolved then please let me know.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Som3guy:
Hello,

I just updatet to the newest CM RC2 and got a problem with the display timeout. After some seconds the display gets darker but it does not turn off. It just keeps dark to save energy or whatever but thats it.

I didnt set anything in the display settings so I dont get why this happens :(

Also it happens sometimes when I turn it off via the power button, I can't turn it back on via the power button, only after a few tries or only after trying the touch thing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] biohazrd51:
Is it plugged into your power adapter or PC at this time? What is your display off time at?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Som3guy:
No it isnt. And its set to 30 seconds.

But now it seems to work more or less. But the other problem still exists with turning it back on again now -_- I have to press the power button several times to get it on again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
Do you have the box in developers area about not turning off if charging?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Som3guy:
Its not checked
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
You mean the latest port of CM9 that someone just happened to call "Cyanogenmod9 Unofficial" by jerl.

It would seem that since he migrated it to the 3.0 kernel, that it's getting a lot of the jellybean related issues.

I'd probably recommend switching to an ICS release that's not using the 3.0 kernel until it's a bit more stable. Or see if that Rc2 can be flashed without the 3.0 kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Som3guy:
Yea I tried the CM9 RC2 version with the 3.x kernel. I'll try the non 3.0 version then I'll see :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Wolfy9247:
I'd recommend RC1 over RC2 personally, I've been having quite the amount of bugs even with it being an RC release. The 3.x kernel release only brought upon more bugs than ever from what I've heard.

Edit: If not the display timeout issue, you'll most likely come across another no matter which you switch to at the moment (text corruption, phone delay, etc.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Som3guy:
So far RC2 works ok but I just got started. Will take a look at RC1 if something happens again

Hi,

I have some experience with ROMing but I really do only basic staff. First of all, info:

Device is SGS1, with an Israeli operator stock ROM (2.2), not rooted, not SIM free.

Never messed with an SGS before, only Atrix and used to doing everything easily with ROM Manager but on SGS I'm reading about Udin, flash stock before custom ROMs etc and decided to stop and ask...

Is it possible to simply, root, install ROM Manager, flash CWM recovery and get going (nandroid and full wipe before installation of course)? This is what I did on the Atrix (with the addition of unlocking the BL which I understood is not needed here)

Again, I just want basic ROM flashing the way I am used to with the Atrix

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolf80:
You can enter the recovery with the stock ROM. Power off your phone,then when its completely off,hold volume up+home key+power button then wait for the recovery to show up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
Not following you.

The device doesn't even have root. Is the BL really unlocked from stock? Is it ok to do everything with ROM Manager all the time as long as I do a full wipe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jogibush:
The easiest way would be flashing a Gringerbred Firmeware that is alerady rooted.

Try and follow these instructions: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/

After installing that Rom, your Phone will have unlocked BL, Root-rights and other Stuff You'll need for flashing.

Just give it a try ;) you can use Rom Manager as well after following and flashing that Rom :)

Edit: If you flashed that custom Rom you are abel to flash all other Roms like these Stock Roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948790

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lustergfx:
Hey guys, I'm gonna try to explain this in most detail. Yesterday spontaneously my External MicroSD card couldn't be detected by my phone(Vibrant SGH-T959). First I thought a simple reboot would work although it failed. Second I have tried unmounting the SD card, and putting it back in and also didn't work. I decided to switch from my JellyBean 4.1.1 ROM back to Schimera v2.2 ICS. I thought the rom was causing the problem, although the problem continued on ICS. I have tried turning my phone off, taking the SD card and all of those combinations and none of them worked. I tried turning on and off USB debugging mode which didn't fix the problem either. I tried using the Computer Management to see if it detected at least my SD card and it didn't. The only way my SD card was actually red when I used a MicroSD adapter. I formatted the card from there and tried all of the solutions again and nothing worked aswell. So now I know that the SD card is working fine but just none being detected by phone or through the USB cable. So I decided to go into my settings > storage to find that my internal storage is only 1.85GB, my model is the 16GB version and I checked previously before. As I scroll down I realize there is something called USB Storage right underneath it and it says 12.67GB which is supposed to be the amount for the Internal SD card. This part is why I'm horribly confused. Also underneath that there is the SD Card and it only displays one button which says Mount SD Card which is disabled when I put the SD card in or out. I tried the option on top for Erase SD Card and it didn't work either. I looked through quite a few threads on this forum trying the ways I mentioned in this thread and they didn't work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you :) ​

*NEW* I just installed DoubleTwist from the android Play market and when I went into settings and tapped on storage this is what came up: Internal (0.0GB) Memory Card (12.8GB) For one, my phone has 16GB internal storage, My memory card is only 8 GB. *NEW*

*NEW TEST* I tried putting my microSD card into my sister device and it worked on hers, I tried putting her SD card into my vibrant and it didn't read it either!*NEW TEST*
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Your 1.85 is the part of your 16gb Vibrant that us partitioned for apps. The 12.67gb is your internal SD. And your other setting should be your external SD or emmc card.

When you say you can't see your external are you looking at external and it isn't showing anything with a file explorer? Try looking in your emmc folder. Have you tried another card?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lustergfx:
LusterGFX

Thanks for clearing that up for me, and I can't access my card in the file explorer either. I don't have an EMMC folder and I tried going into recovery to "mount emmc" but it just gave me an error. Also I did not try another card because I don't have one lying around.. Plus when I rebooted my phone in the notification menu it says Checking SD card for errors and then it disappears. There is no message once that one leaves.

So I went from a desire hd to a desire phone cause my HD died.

Problem is I miss some of the stuff from GB that aint in froyo.

But I have looked at pocketnows guide to doing it with the official gingerbead (which I can link when im so new) but it seems to be a good and easy solution.

Only problem I can find is I wont be able to root it then?

And the problem with rooting it, is that I have never rooted a phone or installed a rom, and it seems like a hassle for a noob like me.

So is it worth going for the official one, when your a big noob when it comes to rooting and custom roms?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you can easily root official gingerbread.

i always direct people to here for rooting desire.

take your time, we were all noobs once. decide whether you think the benefits are worth it (custom roms, more space for apps etc).

don't expect to understand and be able to do it from reading it once. the more times you read the guides, the more confidence you will get.

many people have gone from having no experience at all to succesfully doing it, just by following the guides and nothing else, the info is all there :victory:

searching here and google will always yield results showing those who have been in the same position as you.

good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xipn:

Seems quite confusing to start, but then again I guess I would want to root my future phones so might awell start with something cheap :p

Hey all,

I have a question. I have been trying to figure out where you can configure if the built in wifi AP shows up on the top level settings page or deep in more settings / tethering and portable hotspot submenu.

Where can that be changed? Some ROMs have the AP on the top level. Verizon does that by default and I found the lines in the stock AT&T secsettings.apk (settings_headers.xml) but I just can't seem to figure out where that bool or buildprop setting is, that tells android to put the AP in the top level :)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Can someone tell me how to supercharge CM10?

I have never supercharged any ROM and all I know about Supercharge is that it makes the Rom faster, and that is good enough to make me install it :D

So I am On Motorola defy MB525 (Green lens) with CM10,the latest build by quarx.

I tried looking around the web for this and got several guide but they all said that Supercharging Jellybean is different from others and etc..

So I want to know the correct way to do it and also it you have tried that method and also if it made your Cm10 better/faster.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveletack:
I do it with all my ROMs but i think theres not that much of a difference.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveletack:
Theres not that much of a difference between ICS and JB

The Ics Service Center is integrated in the Supercharger, you do exactly the same on JB as on ICS

Simply run the Supercharger, it will bring you to the option ICS service center and then simply choose automatically its very easy just try it :)
