Audio fix.. Thinking of merging it in to the flashable firmware.zip so that it will ad the firmware files and then reflash the kernel..

Firmware+AudioFix For those who want it and are to lazy (like me) to flash more than once ;)

*I take no credit of this, those who fixed the firmware files and the kernel are the ones that made it all work. I merely made a flash friendly zip out of them*
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
my method of thinking is always in depth as i feel that by just copy and paste firmware folder you are not actually updating the baseband. if may change the name is settings but in fact you still have .24 baseband with .28 as name. in my experience to get baseband fully functional you need to flash it then reboot phone so it connects to a network using new baseband. then copy the firmware folder to PAC rom so it keeps files rather than replace as it does.................... thats how i saw it drawing on my previous experience

yea even though it says that in about phone you havent actually physically changed anything just renamed or overwritten old files which correspond to previous baseband but not changing it. to change baseband you have to flash it via flashtool or stock rom with it built in. you cannot flash a baseband by copy and pasting a folder then rebooting. if i am wrong i stand corrected!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
But then flashing through revcovery, wouldn't that be the same way as if the files where in the rom? Maybe I'm not thinking correctly but then the files would be replaced before anything connects with a network??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
no mate flashing with recovery would then not replace the files as previous just fuse the folders so the files remain the same. i suggested to edit the rom zip before flashing it or flash that firmware zip after flashing rom + gapps then reboot not flash afterwards

so in other words

- flash PAC

- flash Gapps

- Flash Firmware zip

- reboot

it all gets fused ion together where as if you flash PAC and reboot the files as changed so rebooting and flashing firmware zip after wont actually change anything just rename it.

we arte looking to see if this new baseband actually helps matters and will try to add the files as its flashed at rom install
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
I hear ya and can see what you mean.. But I must say that it seem to work as the proximity sensor's are now working as they should.. Screen turns on instant after a call. Not like before when it could stay black for a very long time..

But true to be on the safe side it's better todo as you say..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
thats actually good news....................... have you tried audio fix kernel posted earlier? thinking of adding it to OP so people can try it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
added this post to OP for others to try
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Yeah, I was the one posting it.. ;)

But the thing is. You need to apply the audio fix kernel after you have applied the firmware files.. cuz if you have done like I did, flashing the firmware in recovery you'll loose the ability to affect the volume. The slider just goes up and down but there is no change.. Flashing the kernel again and it works.. That's why I made that other cwm zip, that first flashes the firmware and then the kernel...

Audio test

SO i did the following STEP by STEP... Formatted everything trough RECOVERY>Installed a clean 2.55 Stock ICS ROM with Flashtool>BOOTED>Intalled advanced stock kernel with Fastboot to get root>copied FIRMWARE from system/etc to PAC ROM.zip as mentioned in the earlier posts>booted in RECOVERY, did a: factory reset, wiped dalvik, formatted system and installed the modified PAC ROM.zip>booted and made a test call volume still low> booted into RECOVERY again installed the "firmware+soundfix.zip>rebooted and again same problem low volume... Did i do something wrong during the process?

Also Power AMP does not work... It starts, shows the logo and puts me back to home screen... Any ideas why?

So correct me if i am wrong, i should :

1.Flash PAC

2.Flash Gapps

3.Flash firmware.zip

4.Flash audiofix kernel

5.Reboot.

?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
from what i gather you dont need to replace the firmware zip files by cppy/paste just flash the firmware zip linked to OP as it contains audio fix kernel and firmware files needed. bottom of OP.....................so do this:

- wipe all from recovery

- install PAC v18

- Install gapps

- install firmware zip from OP

- reboot

if volume isnt fixed just reflash audio fix kernel on its own and reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
can do but firmware zip has the audio fix kernel included so no need to flash it on its own.

can i also try with a not clean install?

i mean i am been using pac 18 for a week

could i flash firmware.zip + kernel w/o problems and without wiping?

ok i flashed and tested

it works (but i have to say it worked even without firmware.zip)

volume can be adjusted both incall and loud speaker

but i think that even at the max setting available, incall is too low.. are there some ways to manage it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
at the moment thats all we got..............as fxp kernel and PAC keeps getting updated things will improve. for some the zip and kernel combo does the trick so it will hold for now till next PAC update

On another note if you wanna fix the oversized superuser problem instead of installing Supersu and then deleting superuser

go to system/ect/paranoid

open properties.conf

and add following lines

com.noshufou.android.su.dpi=160
com.noshufou.android.su.layout=720

Thanks to Grarak for this one ;) We will endeavor to add this before release in future

secondly , you have to go to /system/build.prop

open it with text editor...

it depends on launcher used.................install apex launcher from market and go to apex settings. go to drawer setting and it should be in there somewhere. slide the bar to 0% for full transparency. i recommend apex as it is very flexible and offers the user some serious custom options

Here is the link.. and yes it is connected with the kernel and not a rom based configuration.. as it is a hardware ..processor (over clocking, under clocking) , LED are all controlled by kernel.. if u want u can flash it..

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

How can it be possible? If you have installed this ROM that means you have root access then only you can install cwm and then rom.. go to super user app and then allow super user permission to which ever app you want..

Firstl you have to download super user app from the play store

Hi man,

I know I have root access the only think is that because the dpi of the superuser app is so high there is no way it can grant access to others apps like superus, root explorer, etc.

if you know a way can you let me know .

Kali's 3.00.51. It's the last version that has the working HDMI for me.

With Kali's .52 or Nova 004 the HDMI only outputs audio. I have tried those force GPU and H/W disable toggles in the developer menu but no luck.

I have 4.2 Gapps.

Camera works? In call volume works?

Any bugs other than those on the main thread? Like power amp?

Do I have to flash kernel or is it flashed with Rom?

I have ka sspeed Rom and kernel any additional stuff I must do??

Many thanks for those who answer :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I numbered the questions to help answering:

1. Yes.

2. Yes and works on my tests.

3. Most Music Players not working, as some reported. Some imcompatibilities between AOKP, CM and PA features, but they are few.

4.It should be flashed with the ROM, but randomly if fails for me, so if you reboot and the different kernel logo isn't there, just extract the boot.img from the ROM and install with Flashtool or Fastboot.

5. Backup your apps, install kernel, install ROM and wipe data. Reboot. Restore your apps with any app.

Doh. Video playback thru HDMI works with HW-layer enabled. I didn't even try to play video files earlier cause I didn't get launcher to show up on the television screen.

I did a complete data/system/cache wipe and installed PAC 18 and 4.1.2 gaps. Kernel is 3.00.52 FXP+, one from the rom zip.

I would still keep this a step backwards from the previous behaviour with the 3.00.51 FXP kernel where everything from the phone's screen was cloned to the external display.
