In response to audio "crackling"

I listen to music almost everyday on my bus ride into work and have notice that even with Viper if I turn up my sound all the way maxed there will still be a distortion in the music. It was even more noticeable when playing my music through my bluetooth. I found that turning it down about half way and using the Viper app I could play with the Gain and Loudness settings to output the audio properly.

I am not a coding ninja and am still a novice when it comes to the android system files, but do dabble in some coding. Does anyone know where the drivers would be that interface with the audio hardware in the G2? In addition is there a "system" gain setting?

From all the comments and my own experience it just seems that the system is outputting distorted sound when the system volume is cranked.
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
I'm confused, would you expect absolutely no distortion when setting the volume to 100%?
[Verizon LG G2] kirch21:
thanks alot, literally took the exact same steps. I thought the S4 would be un upgrade from the note 2... not so much. I ordered my G2 yesterday excited to get some CM11 going again.
[Verizon LG G2] maniac3221:
I would not expect any if you have a great pair of headphones they should be able to take it ( your phone isn't that powerful). It just sounds like the amplification process is causing the distortion. My only reasoning for this is because by using Viper, I can listen to my music at MUCH higher volumes with out distortion by adjusting their Gains and reducing the phone's system volume.

To me it would seem that there just needs to be some tweaking between the interface of the LG components and the audio output.
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
It has nothing to do with your headphones. Read this and scroll down to the digital clipping section. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)
[Verizon LG G2] maniac3221:
I am agreeing with you that it is independent of the headphones. The root cause of the this issue must be in the drivers/system. You should be able to tweak those so that when you have your volume at 100% the signal leaving is not distorted.

So to my previous question, do you know where these are in the CM build?
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
Just use viper to do that. That's what I do.
[Verizon LG G2] maniac3221:
Of course that is a fix, but does not solve the problem.
[Verizon LG G2] Xyriin:
Most of the time I needed to call back, the longest I waited was something in the range of 2-3 minutes, but that was only on one occasion. The rest of the times on waiting I'd see the LG logo popup from a reboot. But no, never had it recover.
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
Okay let's just clear this up before it begins to irritate me. Viper is NOT a fix for sound issues. It is a 3rd party workaround. A fix will work on a clean install with no modifications.

Off topic, but out of curiosity, I wonder if they ever plan on updating CM's default SMS app to KitKat standards. I know Google dropped development for the AOSP one, but call me crazy, I like the default cyanogen one far more than anything else, it just needs a KitKat facelift.

I agree, I also prefer the stock Messaging app, I hope they keep it around.

Possibly. They've already started their own replacement for the Gallery app. Maybe they'll start replacing all the AOSP apps Google abandons.

Several issues on 1/23 nightly

I'm on 1/23 nightly. Paek v5.2 kernel.

Settings:

Read ahead buffer 2048, noop

min 300000, max 2265600, ondemand (powersavebias 25), multicore power saving 1, MPU voltages -40,

I'm having 3 problems on the 1/23 nightly.

1. phone app - When I touch the number pad icon, get white space at bottom instead of getting the dialer numbers and the 3 icons disappear (history, dialer and menu), touch white area again and buttons come back, touch keypad icon and dialer numbers appear as expected.

2. Tried playing video and even though sound was turned to lowest setting or even off, the volume was on almost full blast. (this may be related to the audio problems that others are having)

3. Sync seems to "turn off" occasionally even though it's enabled. What I mean is that even though background data and sync are enabled, push notiifications like gmail and google voice won't come in unless I manually refresh. A quick enabling then disabling of airplane mode fixes it and restores proper push notifications.
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
YES! that's what i'm banging my head against the wall about! Is it possible background data is doing something funky and throwing off my Activesync? I think so. Like you said Airplane mode off then on. boom. everything is there. I don't get enough gmails to notice the delay, but I do notice with my exchange 2010 Activesync account. sometimes instant email, sometimes NEVER. sometimes 30 seconds.. WTF!
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
Yeah think I'm experiencing this also. I'll reboot or something for whatever reason and notice I have 6 or 7 emails.
[Verizon LG G2] beddachedda:
Paek kernel issue. This happened to me as well and I reverted to stock kernel and all was well.

on 1/27 right now and its infinitely more stable than 1/25 (aka 3 reboots vs 0) :)

Mine works correctly 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time it charges to about 75% and gets hot. I am not sure if I just don't have it lined up correctly or what...

I am using an LG branded charger.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Just to add to the conversation, and confirm these issues are not isolated:

I get crackly sound on almost all of my notifications.

I also had a reboot in the middle of a call, but it certainly does not happen every time.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
Honestly, adding a screen off shortcut to the Quick Shortcuts is so super simple, I don't even miss double taping anywhere on the screen. Just slide up from middle bottom and it goes off.

I'm using one of those ATT Nokia Wireless chargers and it seems to work all the time.

[Verizon LG G2] TheGman125:
Thanks man.. I was just wondering.
[Verizon LG G2] kg2128:
no problems with my Nokia Dt-900, though I don't always use it because plugging in charges noticeably quicker.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
I prefer the consistency of double tapping my screen to turn it off and being able to do the same to turn it back off. Obviously, your option works well, but having a native option is better IMO. I use Nova + Tasker for double tapping the home screen to turn it off, but sometimes it doesn't work, which is annoying.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
I agree, but this looks to only be a fix for knock off on the lockscreen.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
That's exactly what it is. What else is missing?
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
Well, I read that change as being able to knock off from the lockscreen... not the home screen, like the LG stock rom does. To me, the only time when knock off on the lockscreen would be valuable is when I just turn the phone on quickly to see a notification or the time. Otherwise, when I'm using the phone (surfing the web, watching a video, etc.) and I finish, I wouldn't be able to knock off anywhere other than the statusbar.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Gotcha. That's exactly the usage scenario I'll use it for; so many times I'm just quickly glancing at the time or my notifications using double tap to wake, and having to then reach up to the top of the screen to double tap to sleep is annoying and sometimes dangerous because my grip of the phone loosens. I've been using the power button a lot more in this scenario because it's easier and safer, but being able to double tap the slider icon or dots on the lock pattern (I have Tasker enable/disable the pattern in various scenarios) will be even easier.

For the home screen, like I said already, I've been using the double tap gesture in Nova linked to a Tasker task that turns the screen off. It works well enough, but sometimes Tasker just randomly restarts and it doesn't work immediately. Not sure if that's related to the specific task, which requires Administrator rights, or Tasker just does that normally and I'm only noticing it because I'm manually trying to trigger a task that I expect to be immediate.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Use this app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cillinsoft.scrnoff&hl=en

It's works better than Tasker; I stopped using Tasker for screen off for the same reasons you are annoyed with it.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
The screen off quick launch shortcut works on the lock screen, so if you check your phone real quick for the time (or whatever) just slide up from the home button position and screen is off. Just a suggestion vs having another app running in the background....

[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
I use Tasker for a lot more than that. Your solution is a good alternative, but the consistency of using the same method to turn the screen on and off is a lot better.

Guys, the reboots and SODs are very random. You can go days without having either, and you can have multiple of them in a single day. Nothing will change until 4.4 kernel source comes out.

Also, has anybody noticed google play services as the main battery drain? Using latest PA gapps... And also Bluetooth tethering ALL day long... Don't know if that's why.
[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
They have, which is clearly stated in the OP for the patches:
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
So there seems to be a pattern with the freezing/lockups: they always seem to involve a transition or animation, such as opening/closing the keyboard, hitting one of the nav buttons, windows popping up, etc. The problem is that it isn't consistent and just happens randomly when a transition or animation is occurring.

Someone in another thread was able to get a kmesg when it was happening and said that the HW composer freezing may be the reason for this. So what I suggested was disabling HW overlays in Developer Options (see screenshot). So far so good, but that's an n=1 sample size over roughly 13 hours, so anyone else who is having this issue, it would be great if you could try toggling this setting to see if it helps.

The only issue I've encountered doing this is random choppy scrolling and animations, but it's no way near as bad as the usual slowdowns and turning the screen on and off clears it up. My theory is that these slight slowdowns would be freezes of the HW overlays was on.

Preferred system / roaming icon for 3g is back in latest nightly
[Verizon LG G2] Enigmafied:
Does this mean that while roaming I will have a 3g icon for data instead of just an R?

I wanted to thank whoever has been contributing to this rom. Vast improvement over stock!

My brother and I installed this on my nephews and my own g2. Mine has had the sod/reboot/slowdown issues, which have been alleviated somewhat by setting minimum cpu to 652, changing cpu governor to interactive, and disabling animations. My nephews on the other hand, has apparently not had any issues. Without applying the aforementioned fixes. We r running two different Roms, and when we installed his, his phone was a blank slate. We had to adb push CM and gaps over. Mine was not. Is that what is referred to as a clean install?

Once more, thanks devs!!! :)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
A clean install is wiping everything aside from your internal storage. I use twrp and go into andvanced wipe, and tick everything aside from internal. It includes cache, dalvek, data, and system.

If you pay attention to the ROM as it flashes, most Roms run a script at the beginning that formats system, so you typically don't need to wipe it, but I usually do anyways.

That being said, if you didn't advance wipe everything then yes he had a more comprehensive wipe because he had nothing there to wipe.

If you're having issues with sod's still you can try using an app such as trickster mod, to adjust the voltages of your frequencies. Every time you click to raise them it will raise it by 25.

Try a fresh wipe and install. If they persist try adjusting the voltages 25 at a time to see if they subside. If that doesn't work or cms kernel locks the voyages(I think they do but its been a while since I've used a cm kernel for the aforementioned reason) you can check out paek and furnace. Bother of which are custom kernels.

I have been test driving furnace and even undervolted it with no issues. Paek I used for months and it works awesome as well.

Can't wait for knock off. I rely on knock on/off so much. Good to see development is moving at a blazing pace for this awesome device.
[Verizon LG G2] dalingrin:
Signal handling, tower hand off, etc should be the same as stock. The signal meter, aka the number of bars, could be different. This is only a cosmetic difference. Verizon usually modifies their signal meter to show more bars for the same signal.

While knock off isn't support yet, I definitely recommend adding a "Go to sleep" quick settings tile. It might not be quite as easy as double tapping the status bar but its just a swipe + single tap.

FYI, the camera should be improved with scene modes and hdr.
[Verizon LG G2] Darkestred:
For the time being and maybe might be a better alternative in the long-run. I put my power off button in the quick launch menu when you slide up from your soft keys. I simply slide up and let go (power button placed in middle). Screen off.
[Verizon LG G2] drkow19:
+1, I do this too. Except I leave Google search in the middle, screen off on the right, and launch an app on the left. I use a quick bluetooth toggle app that doesn't do anything except toggle bluetooth and then show the status for a few seconds. This way, no menus for me when I need bluetooth.

I'm installing the 10/28 build through CM updater right now. On 10/25 I would have issues when using BT and WiFi simultaneously (WiFi always loses), plus some random lockups which scare me because I use my phone as an alarm clock. Time to dust off the old faithful ACTUAL alarm clock.

Nah, it just isn't as smooth, probably something with the launcher itself. And I keep getting intermittent Netflix errors and crashes. I Nandroid back to stock, works fine, jump back to CM, errors. Wipe cache and Dalvic, fix permissions, doesn't fix it.

So between the mediocre performance, the lack or QuickRemote and the Netflix issues, I am forced back to stock. And that isn't a bad thing. Luckily, the carriers have added nice UI's and lots of features over stock Android. Going to an AOSP ROM seems like a downgrade now. You used to get more features over stock in the old days. Now you get less. And you lose a lot of what made your particular phone unique when you run AOSP. It becomes like iOS, where every device looks the and works the same... If you are gonna run AOSP, then why bother getting a newer phone with more features? Running AOSP, your G2 is no different than an S4, or any other recent model phone...
