Groove IP problems

I use Groove IP to make voip calls via Google Voice. With the default settings my outgoing voice sounds terrible, unusable. I worked with the Groove IP dev and we found that checkig the option in the app "Disable JB Audio APIs" greatly improves the sound. Now the dev says that the option should not be tweaked and it works well with the stock GNex ROM/kernel, he says that these are issues specific to custom ROMs and/or kernels which do not correctly implement the "JB Audio APIs".

I have not done any further troubleshooting to figure out whether it's because of the LeanKernel or EOS ROM. Anyone else run into such issues? Any ROM or kernel fixes that could address the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jimlarck:
Been a while since I've flashed this, going to fix that right now ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
............. I'm really confused. This either restored everything SUPER fast or I didn't wipe. All my settings are different & appear to be "stock" EOS but everything came back in about 2 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
Odd... Are your apps still there, did you flash manually or with goo manager? Just boot into recovery, wipe system, cache and dalvik and flash the zip again. If your apps arnt there, just do a full wipe and start from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
I don't think it was a bug 'er anything. I think my stuff just restored extremely fast (or I blacked out & didn't realize it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Yes. Yes. I have to stir the drama pot from time to time :p

But I do have bad news sir. I gotta bring in some Pie. :crying:

Not by my personal choice, but overall user demand is requiring it. But... I promise if you don't turn it on, it won't bug you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Yeah I saw you were bringing it in via the Stingray (or Wingray) thread. It is what it is. I took my moment of silence & have moved on. I was going to ask why the tablets get blessed with expandable notifications but the tunas don't? If you're gonna bring in a stupid feature then you should bring in a useful one too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilgrass71:
I'm supposed to wipe system when I flash nightlies?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Normally you don't have to because ROM installers do it. To be on the safe side people wipe both caches & system on a dirty flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
I understand you're still recovering from a black out :laugh: All devices have expandable notification. Including the tuna sandwich.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
'er I meant expandable notification sounds. When you use the volume rocker you only see one volume. On the Stingray if you use the rockers you get the lil "system" icon and it expands to another volume control. Damnit man.. don't read what I said know what I mean!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Lol! Ok now I'm on track. Ya I noticed that too. That should be an easy patch. "AudioManager, quit checking for tablets!" Fixed. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
What am I thinking!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
I got a chance to do some testing: stock 4.2.1 image, Crossbones, MMuzzy ROMs latest versions as of today. None of the 3 have the audio problems with Groove IP. Note that Crossbones also uses LeanKernel and it doesn't have any issues. It makes me think there's something not right in the EOS ROM with respect to these JB Audio APIs.

[MENTION=470268]bigrushdog[/MENTION] - could you please give Groove IP a try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
I got bored & decided to update the gapps package. This is essentially the same gapps you'll find on Goo.im except the things I've updated.

http://goo.gl/4Dt3v

The latest Play Store, Talkback, Hangouts (Talk is gone), Google Search and a few other things I may be forgetting. Give it a try & let me know if you have any issues. I try to keep this updated for myself because I'm OCD like that so as things get updated I'll update the package. If no one else wants it I won't posting it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Why not just use BaNkS' GApps? He keeps them up to date and there are a few choices there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Because at some point it gets old relying on other people's work & it's time to learn to do things on your own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Fair enough. Do you have a guide on how one can build such a package?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Sadly no. A lot of it was trial & error. To get the updates I used Titanium Backup to find the updated gapps & their paths.. pulled the updated file from /data/app.. renamed it the corresponding app in /system/app... put it in the /system/app folder in gapps... flash.. profit. It really isn't difficult.. just time consuming. Today I had a lot of time on my hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
BRD, found 3 bugs that I'd like to bring to your attention. All of these were experience on a clean flash. To further test and see if it was just an anomoly, I redownloaded, fully wiped, and reflashed everything. All three bugs still exist. Ironically they all have something to do with the navigation bar. Perhaps the first two have something to do with your recent preparations to bring in PIE, as they only exist in this build. The third has been around for the last 3 or 4 builds to my knowledge.

1) When using NX Bar, the color will stick to its highlighted color as shown in image one instead of black. This is consistent regardless of color or opacity.

2) In landscape, the Nav Bar is there, but the Nav Keys are not. Thought maybe there was some settings that were added in build 96 that needed changing but was not able to find anything. This is shown in image 2.

3) This ones the irritating one. Couldn't recreate at the time if this writing so I'll get a screenie when it happens again (which is often). When getting out of a call you will be presented with the lock screen if screen security (I use pattern) is enabled as per usual. But, you'll find that the screen is completely unresponsive to your touch (it knows its being touch, just seems to be locked in place). While in the locked state, you notice that the home and recents Nav bar keys are visible when they shouldn't be. It will remain this way until you prompt a popup window such as holding in the power button. The popup window makes everything work fine again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Confirmed. Going full opacity it stops (for me).

Confirmed. I think someone brought this up in the maguro thread too.

Unconfirmed. I never lock my phone & rarely make calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
1) For nx, the code is written in a way where, if a custom navbar color is set, it will apply the appropriate level of transparency to the set color. I've noticed that generally, glass does not play well with navbar custom color. If you use glass, it's likely best for now to not use a custom navbar color. See if that cleans it up any.

2) That's a weird one. You're navbar should be to the right if in landscape mode. Any reason why it's on the bottom?

3) I'll dig into that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
If it's any consolation I never change the nav bar color. Looks gaaaaaaaaay being anything other than black or clear. Also the who nav bar thing on the bottom.. it sometimes appears on the right but when it's on the bottom the only thing that seems to work is recents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
1)

I don't change anything from stock when it comes to navbar. No glass or anything. However I do like to use NX (Digging that webos feel) and have used it on every build. This is the only build in which this happens.

2) Haha, I'm just as stumped as you are man. Like I said, this happens on a completely stock install. Since no one has clued you in I suppose this is a unique issue to the toroplus.

3) I'll get a screenie or log cat when this happens again so you have a better idea what I'm talking about.

Mine consistently appears on the bottom. I can not make it appear to the right. And actually, yeah that's a good point that I forgot to mention to BRD. When the navbar is on the bottom, anywhere you touch on it registers the Recents menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
I'll have to wipe and run clean. I'll check it out. Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
[MENTION=470268]bigrushdog[/MENTION] - any chance to look into the audio issue with Groove IP? Could it be the audio binaries/drivers or something else in the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
[MENTION=4966885]sirxdroid[/MENTION] you should back up & try flashing this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748803

Does it make it better, worse, or no change?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
I don't really want to mess with that mod. It's not about loudness in my case, it's about sound quality (or lack of). The problems is specific to the JB Audio API, see a few posts back. Groove IP works fine on stock 4.2.1, Crossbones, MMuzzy among the ROMs I tried. It seems to have a problem on EOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
I'd have to go back & read the thread again but if I remember correctly it is using the audio files that those roms are probably already using. I live dangerously with my phone so I'd try it just to see if it works. If it does work it gives BRD something to baseline & work with. If not he's basically shooting in the dark at random fixes. You don't have to but if I were in your shoes I'd make a backup & do it (well I wouldn't back up.. I'd just do it cuz I'm a bad@ss like that) just to find something to make it work, better, in the interim. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Should I build? Not polished yet but highly stable and highly fun :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
Build build build!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Only if you build it for the toro as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
No new build for the toroplus that fixes the soft buttons in landscape mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
It's coming. Jenkins is having issues. Luckily I got my toro build before it freaked out... it's a nice new build. Tablet mode is freakin awesome. Very comparable to PA's tablet mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
cant wait to try this out also LK 6.6 is out if you want to update brd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
I fixed that by changing from Slim to Small then Back to Slim for the navigation bar. Works until reboot, then just repeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
OK, build 98 has been released.

I can confirm that the 3 bugs i posted a page or two back are still present in the new build.

I can also confirm that the fix for the bottom navbar in landscape works. That is, you just have to do something that would cause the navbar to redraw itself. The easiest thing being to just change its size then back again. I notice that while using tablet mode the the navbar is 'supposed' to stay on the bottom. Perhaps there's some conflicting code there somewhere that's causing it to draw on the bottom when tablet mode is off? Hmm, dunno.

Other than these little bugs. The build along with the new LK version is solid as always. Thanks team EOS, I look forward to these little bugs getting squashed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
With the latest build, please provide exact instructions how top make the bar stay on bottom with softkeys gone. I can not duplicate this.

Edit. Ok I reproduced it. It looks like an initial boot configuration. Will fix pronto.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
Were you able to reproduce the NX bar issue I was referring to BRD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
I'll revisit NX once I get the ui modes cleaned up. fixed the hiding navbar issue last night, and updated lean kernel. The bug only affects phones so I'll fire off builds for phones tonight. Usually we don't have little bugs like this. But I've decided to be more adventurous recently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
downloading now cant wait :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Thanks! Landscape soft keys confirmed fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Yes. Confirmed by me. 100% or I'll personally run the crappiest kang build you can find for a week. And updated LK. Check changelog for more details. But I think that sums up the case well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edisepic:
does the wireless tether work on this rom and is it free? if no what is a good rom for this?

thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Nope. Doesn't work man.

Juuuuuuuuuust kidding.

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Yeah it works & is free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edisepic:
so the built in wireless tether in the setting is free. if so awesome and thanks, just trying to save some money and thanks for the quick reply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Sprint can easily detect you are tethering. I don't know what they do if they catch you though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
They won't care about 3g tethering, you only have anything to worry about if you tether LTE. Personally I'd rather not use the internet at all than suffer with the dialup modem speeds of sprints 3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
True that. Even if you download 24/7 on Sprint 3G I doubt you can reach 1GB of data use per month :) No wonder their plans are "unlimited". Go ahead, do any damage if you can :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blokgang:
Is 12-12 still the latest gapps?...I think I might flash the new build... I'm still on build 91 or something and it's working flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Nope. Latest are: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

If you check you could probably find some newer, less official, floating around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
You can also flash Banks' GApps but please read about the options and what they contain:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857

Or if you really want all GApps you can try the latest ones from PA (sort by modification time):

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
you can freely tether up to 5 devices over lte with standard contract i have used about 150 gigs this month alone and they have never said a word
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blokgang:
150gig? Oh they will be saying something alright
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
i have never had them say any thing

[MENTION=4966885]sirxdroid[/MENTION] check out my comment on the bug report regarding the Groove IP sound issue. The sound quality is definitely better but isn't as loud as a call via Google Voice or the carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
good call i should update that

[MENTION=507808]BRD[/MENTION] LK 6.7 is up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Everytime ajf64! I just hit the build button! Oh well. I usually have to do a update build for some missed bug or other issue. Dude, hit me with your gtalk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
Good lookin! Might be a bit though, that a bit of a build queue.

And bummer, from the looks of the commit history i don't think the new LeanKernel made it in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acvice:
Running build 100 and I have found a bug I'd like see if someone can recreate. Most settings do not stick until a reboot. For instance, quick settings tiles changes, status bar changes such as clock, etc. At first I thought it was due to a dirty flash. So then I did a full wipe and experienced the same issue. Other than that though, build is solid and fast. Please remember to include the new LeakKernel in build 101. And if I may make a feature request, lock screen shortcuts pl0x?? Also, I read the change log, stoked for linaro 4.8!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
My wish list:

- customizable carrier label

- JB Audio APIs fix

Thanks teameos!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Someone in the maguro thread said the same thing. My status bar settings change regardless of UI mode but I also rebooted last night after everything was "done".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
lol story of my life i sent you pm with some contact info
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
Am I missing something, or is the persistent menu button option gone? I have had it for a while and am pretty sure it was a part of this ROM, not something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
It was removed in the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
Damn, I used that all the time :( Anybody know if this would work: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29153-mod-411-jelly-bean-soft-key-mods-with-menu-and-search-stockbb/

I know it's 4.1, so I would be afraid to flash without knowing for sure.

Edit: No...no, this does NOT work :X SystemUI crashes up the wazoo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Simple way to find out:

Boot into recovery

Make a nandroid backup

flash mod

Boot back into Android and see if it works

If it does cool

If not,

get back into recovery

wipe your phone and restore your nandroid backup.

Easy peasy. This is how we used to do things before facebook :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
I just had some knowledge dropped on me so I thought I would share.

For those that can't get settings to stick right away try this..

Instead of going Settings > ECC long press "Settings" from the notification shade to access the ECC directly and change settings. BRD is gracious enough to fix this for us & push out a new build but in the meantime this will make your settings stick & will make them instant instead of having to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
Also, "Hide System Bars" does not work (for me at least) :X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Read the change log in the ecc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
Awesome, thx. I looked in BRD's sig and it was not updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
Is it possible to unlink the ringer and notification volumes in this rom? I couldn't find it in the volumes where it normally is in ROM's like CM ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Oh it's coming... don't you worry... it's coming. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
man i wish goo manager downloads where so damn slow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Oh my good friend... use the other link. MUCH faster - same rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
ya i do some times but i get updates via goo manager on my phone so alot of the time i just click that but boy dose it take forever to download
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Goo is starting to suck it hardcore. Hopefully they turn it back around & get back to the glory days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dna_d:
Is it possible for a ROM to adjust your accelerometer settings or something? I play a game called Bike Race, and I noticed I was going much slower than usual. Did some tests, and found out that the device, set flat on a surface, leans forward like I am tilting it to the right (clockwise). Thoughts? Can this be calibrated?

Edit: Downloaded Sensor Tester from the Play Store. Calibrated the accelerometer and it seems much better. Still seems off, but that could just be me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
agreed i almost wish brd would switch over to rom manager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
All options are on the table at this point. Eos users are getting killed. Believe me, I'm aware of the situation. I'm sure glad I can build my own builds :laugh::laugh::laugh::D:D:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
sweet that would mean one less app i need to keep on my phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
well gezz no one is going to say any thing about this last update? :) good job BRD i like the new settings menu keep up the good work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
I appreciate the work done on this fine ROM but I'm not a fan of the new settings. If this is the direction Google is taking for 4.3 or KLP that's fine, I will accept it, but I personally like an experience very close to stock, with just some minor extras such as the battery %, reboot menu, quick settings, etc. I'm not into Pie, customizable interfaces, themes and just eye candy in general. I think I might be the minority though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
once u get to use it a bit it makes selecting settings a bit faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
It's not even a big deal when it comes to settings, it's not like I need to get to them every day. I'm more concerned about the future direction of EOS in general. I liked this ROM because it was really Stock+ but it seems to be getting more and more features that personally I'm not interested in, just like many other ROMs out there. Again, the right ROM is a very personal choice. The only way to be 100% happy is to learn how to build your own with exactly the features and defaults you use :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samdroid1:
Transparency issues

If anyone is having issues with transparency, as I was, I was able to fix it by uninstalling all third party launchers and go locker. Now, the only 3rd party launcher I had was next launcher 3D, but maybe it's the same with others. All I know is I toyed around for a few hours with the same issues everyone else had with transparency and nothing, no launcher, reboot or settings fixed it. Then after I uninstalled next launcher and go locker, transparency instantly took effect. Worked on both of my devices, gnex running eos and nexus 4 running aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
So, it's fine and dandy when Google does it, but not when someone else does??? How does that make any sense? Either way, if you way to stay updated, you'll have no choice. Get used to it, but everyone has their preference. Google seems keen on this, as both Gmail and Google plus have it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
I just like a close to stock experience, whatever that stock experience might be. That's why I have Nexus devices and not HTC or Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomzefi:
Havnt been on EOS in a long time. Great work. Current set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Col. Sanders:
Just downloaded this on Saturday morning and have been playing with it all weekend. Very impressed I must say, just enough extras but nothing over the top. I really like the fact that LK has been implemented over a stock one, I sometimes have issues with other Kernels not playing nice. Big thumbs up gang.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
update 104 just came out cant wait to try it damn you goo for taking so long to download
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Me too. I thought I was going to stop updating because of the new Settings UI. Happy to see I can continue using EOS :) thanks BRD!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
kinda sad we lost it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
It feels like the ROM would benefit from an Aroma installer that lets you pick which options you want at install time. The only way to make (almost) everyone happy. Of course, this would mean more work for BRD as he'd have to maintain and test two Settings UIs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
ehh dont care that much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Yeah, I didn't care that much about Settings either, I was more concerned of a new EOS trend and a radical departure from the stock look. I was bracing for dragons and unicorns :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
i love new stuff being added stock is great but i think if they dont add new stuff then what it the point of adding a new rom to a nexus if you want pure stock just run stock

btw BRD would only add dirty unicorns so it would be fine dragons are over rated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
I like stock++, there are some tweaks in EOS that I use, that's why I'm on EOS for both my GNex and N4 (I was close to put it on my N7 too but held off in light of the recent updates). There are many choices out there for ROMs that throw in the kitchen sink that I don't care for, I like simple ROMs such as EOS, MMuzzy, Maddogin and Crossbones (if it added a couple extra features that I use :) ).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajf64:
i just want new features that are stable and cost the least amount of system resources as possible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
I'm glad you guys see how hard it is to strike the balance I do. One thing I learned long ago is I can't make everyone happy in this game. I make judgement calls and move on. It's pretty rare when I have to git revert. Fun and games!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomzefi:
I think the slide settings are much more efficient rather pressing the back key all the time. But either way I good.
