Hi to all! I'm still on the nightly from 20131218! And everything was working brillant! But then, a few days ago, my phone started to act weird! In some (i guess all) phonecalls i got this annoying sound like i would call an alien. :D I don't even understand what the other person says!

First i thought it was the speaker. But when i switched to the other speaker it was still here...

Can someone help me maybe?

And when i want to upgrade (i also have the xposed framework running), i've got to flash the nightly then wipe cache and dalvik. After that reinstall the xposed. Is that right?

Thanks for any advice and help!! :confused:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] anguslaw:
No need to wipe, just reinstall xposed framework inside the closed installer.

I flashed this build and have probably had more errors with this one than any other nightly. My data straight out doesn't work now, no matter if I leave wifi on or if I turn airplane mode on/off I still can't get data.

I can see in the OP that it recommends flashing a radio is that required? I'm in Australia and not sure the recommended radio is usable with my region everyone I have seen using it is from Europe/UK.

Has everyone that's been using it been using the radio or haven't bothered flashing it?

TWRP 2.7

Still waiting for this to be available for download, but thought share the info anyways and links to watch for updates

i9305 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9305

i9305T - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9305T

What's new in 2.7.0.0:

Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar

Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices

Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion

Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names

Text wrap in the console output

Proper caps lock support in the keyboard

Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer

Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript

Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions

Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)

Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process

Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions

Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery

USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking

Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)

Add 4.4 decrypt support

Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)

Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes

Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.

Reproduce the data bug

I don't know if this has been reported already about the data bug, and I have no experience with cat logs or whatever they are called so if I can provide more info, please let me know how.

If this already has been reported than I apologise...

Okay, the data bug for me only seems to occur in the following situation.

I have wifi on and leave home in the morning after I updated the rom via auto update

When I reach a certain location (trainstation or whatever) I check my phone and there is a notification that wifi networks have been found

I then click on that notification and disable the wifi with the off switch that the notification is leading me to

Gone is the data connection

When I want to get it back, I press and hold the power button to bring up the power menu

Disable data

Enable flight mode

Enable data

Disable flight mode

Data connection then restores

As far as I know, disabling wifi normally never gives me any problems.

I am constantly updating the rom every morning via auto update so I am always on the most recent version. The last time this happened to me was on Friday because it always seems to happen when I go to work :D

I am not sure if updating the rom in the morning is a necessary step to reproduce the bug

I hope this helps in finding an efficient anti bug spray :D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mcampbellsmith:
I need logs. So next time you update your rom, please start logging immediately using the application called catlog. Make sure you have both main and radio logging (check under settings).

I can't do anything without logs.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Chevan94:
I made a radio log.

At first I couldn't turn on data at all. Switching airplane mode on and off restored mobile data connection.

Then I turned on Wi-Fi, which automatically disabled Mobile data. After that, I wasn't able to disable mobile data at all even if I was switching data on an off all the time. Nothing helped that.

You can find it here.

EDIT: Ooopsie, it looks like I logged only radio :/ I'll try to make another one, logging main and radio this time.

EDIT2: Okay. This time, Wi-Fi turned off Mobile, which made it immune to the mobile data switch again. Airplane mode doesn't fix the problem. Log is under the same link.

How do we actually update the recovery in... recovery when it gets released? Or do I have to use ODIN to flash .img files?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] quail:
you have a few options depending on OS etc

firstly you can use Flashify to flash the img file

secondly use heimdall-flash to flash the img under Linux

thirdly use Odin under MS to flash the img, but you first have to compress the img in a tar format, with the img named as recovery.img inside the tar container

fouthly ther is GooManager, but as I understand it not currently working

Hello there, I've came to this thread to test the rom since the other one that I've been got bugs on APN settings,

Well everything's fine with this ROM on my phone it's just that I cannot download the pack apps for this one on goo, it keeps on cutting without fully being downloaded and I am stuck with no app on my phone and I cannot manage to install apk's cuz there's no file manager that comes with the ROM and I've tried to install via ADB but my computer doesn't recognized my attached phone even though I got an ADB debugging on and on my device manager it shows an adb attached phone,..

Is there a way for me to install at least the file manager so I can install some other app, thanks..

What are you connecting the device as. I can't for the life of me what options it has on the phone but I do know on other tablets I played with this week I need to set it to the camera one or MTP. Mass storage doesn't work.

By pack apps do you mean Gapps? If so go use the Paranoid Android one but don't install the full version. Download the version that doesn't have photosphere etc.

Hi,

This old post above from KillEmAllx was interesting but had no answer. I'm also interested to know if camera audio quality issue can be fixed (the paragraph in red and bold in the quoted post = "... at least for me, is mic volume when (video)recording. It's way too high, and the sound comes out distorted when recording at a loud environment..."). I've googled this problem and didn't find anything useful. Please, could someone can tell how we could get rid of this ? A fix ? A workaround ? Some settings ? If all AOSP ROMs are concerned, I know that my post is useless here but I'm trying to understant why you people are not annoyed by this bad audio quality ?

Well I didn't find any solution or workaround, and this issue got pretty much ignored.

I did notice something last weekend when using Google Maps travelling a long distance. The marker that indicates you was always pointing that wrong way at least 90 degrees. But would travel along the course correctly.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mcampbellsmith:
Maybe you guys can help with finding values that do not distort the video recordings, but also do not result in low audio for normal calls etc?

You will need to look at the 'builtin-mic' values in this file: https://github.com/omnirom/android_device_samsung_i9305/blob/android-4.4/configs/tiny_hw.xml#L266

Then adb onto your device;

su

tinymix

The tinymix command will give you a big printout with the current values for the devices. You can change a value by doing

tinymix <number> <value> (ie to change 'IN2L Volume' to 28, you would do 'tinymix 24 28')

You may also want to investigate muting the builtin-mic and activating the back-mic, as they may have different behavior.

Let me know what you find and what you think are the most suitable values .....

EDIT 1: Appears something has changed, as I added this back in CM 10.2 which is no longer actioned....

case AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BACK_MIC:

// Force use both mics for video recording

adev->in_device = (AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BACK_MIC | AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC) & ~AUDIO_DEVICE_BIT_IN;

ALOGD("%s: AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BACK_MIC and AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC", __func__);

Something to look at

EDIT 2: Try changing "IN1R Volume" to 27 and "IN2L Volume" to 26 and let me know if it makes any difference ...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Thanks for your help.

In order to inspire me, I had a look into "default_gain.conf" file of the Sammy stock ROM (4.3) which has no distortion problem and I concentrated on camcorder values :

>>> For Builtin mic (camcorder):

Modifier "Camcorder" {
SupportedDevice {
"Builtin Mic"
}
Enable {
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Mode", 1 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Switch", 1 },
[B]{ "IN2L Volume", 26 }, [/B]
{ "MIXINL IN2L Volume", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 Volume", 96 },
}
Disable {
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Mode", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Switch", 0 },
{ "IN2L Volume", 11 },
{ "MIXINL IN2L Volume", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 Volume", 96 },
}
}

>>> For Back mic (camcorder):

Modifier "Camcorder" {
SupportedDevice {
"Back Mic"
}
Enable {
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Mode", 1 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Switch", 1 },
[B]{ "IN1R Volume", 27 },[/B]
{ "MIXINR IN1R Volume", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 Volume", 96 },
}
Disable {
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Mode", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 HPF Switch", 0 },
{ "IN1R Volume", 11 },
{ "MIXINR IN1R Volume", 0 },
{ "AIF1ADC1 Volume", 96 },
}
}

I didn't switch back to OMNI ROM yet, so before flashing it, I would like to know if I'm on the good way by trying to "tinymix" "IN2L Volume" and "IN1R Volume" to the same as sammy's value, ie respectively 26 and 27 instead of 28 and 28)

I saw that on sammy's "default_gain.conf" file, there are separate values for these configurations : VOICE, CAMCORDER, RECOGNITION, etc. Whereas on OMNI's "tiny_hw.xml", there is one common value for both builtin-mic and back-mic for all configurations ? Am I right ?

I didn't succeed, I don't understand. I don't think I'm doing everything correctly....

Can I do this on a terminal emulator session instead of adb ?

My procedure on OMNI ROM march 18th build :

-Reboot device

-Open terminal emulator :

Su

Tinymix // to check values. At this moment values are : IN1R volume = 10 and IN2L volume = 28 //

Tinymix 21 27

Tinymix 24 26

Tinymix // to check values again after modification. At this moment values are : IN1R volume = 27 and IN2L volume = 26 //

-Close terminal emulator

-Open camera and record a video

-Check audio quality of the video : can't really ear any difference about distorsion.

-Open terminal emulator :

Su

Tinymix // to check values again after the video test. At this moment values are : IN1R volume = 10 and IN2L volume = 10 !!??

I also tried to change IN1R volume and IN2L volume to very low values to really ear a difference but no luck.

Is it because of Terminal emulator ? As you said to use adb, I'm wondering if it's important?

Am I doing things correctly ?

Nope, well nearly....

First open up terminal emulator

check the values

open the Camera app and switch onto video

check the values -> these values are being used for recording

Change the values

Start recording

Each time you quit out of camera, the audio parameters are probably changed back to default, so you need to ensure you record with the correct values.

-skar
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
I can't do that with TE (terminal emulator) directly from the phone because each time I switch from camera to TE or from TE to camera with multitask trick (long press on home button and change app), values are changed, I don't have the control ! Moreover, are you sure that values are set once camera is switched onto video without recording ? Don't you think it's done once record is started or stopped ? Because when I open camera and switch to video and then quit, I see for example that "IN1L volume" value is still 28. Whereas if I start the record and then stop, I see for example that "IN1L volume" value is set to 10.

I made another test with a voice call record. Voice call has no problem with multitask trick because during the call I can switch to TE without stopping the record and then I can change values "live" and it worked (I heard on playback that mic volume has been changed as I wanted).

So I think I have to use adb for camera app in order to change "IN1R volume" and "IN2L volume" values during video record.

Do you agree ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mcampbellsmith:
Yes, correct you have to do this with adb. You will see how the values change once you start playing around with it. You can also see it in logcat by grepping on audio ...
