Anything we can do to help? You done a good job getting it to not whistle on a clean install. I gave up on custom ROM's over a year ago because of speakerphone/sound too quiet problems after every nightly and blue screens in general but Omni isn't like that anymore. I came back just a few days ago and thought wow and still do. Of course it still has its problems

Things i've noted - it's very clean and stable, the volume still isn't as loud as stock but thats to stop the speakerphone whistle so a fair trade for now. Much progress has been made with regard to customisation options but still some options lacking. Gravitybox for instance says it shouldnt be used on a custom rom and features are better implemented direct and many have been. However i've run it to do a couple of little things and not had any problems but what's the general Omni view on these things? Implement everything and don't use what you don't need or keep it simple and run gravitybox if you want more?

Another thing of note - I tried Don No 1's Z2 media pack which among many things installs XLoud. Soon as I did this volume got louder and the Omni snd_soc_msm_2x speaker volume of 72 is too much for the speakerphone and it starts whistling again. The volume of notifications and ringtones however is tremendous on max just like stock ROM. I've messed with many settings in that file and tried many different versions from on here and even Sony stock ones and all are a compromise one way or another. Either the mic sensitivity is low, speaker volume low, mics are swapped around in some unintended way (like top mic for phonecalls that are NOT on speakerphone) or it just still whistles. It also appears that several options in snd_soc_msn are ignored that shouldn't be. Like speakerphone and speaker devices are seperate in the file, but only speaker option affects both volumes which seems to be the root of the problem.

Looking at that CM submission it appears to me that something has to be turned on in the boardconfig to allow for seperate audio inputs and things like digital mics and fluence in system.prob. I can see how our attempts to modify snd_soc might have been in vain without these enabled so a solution could finally be near. We really need that top microphone to come active/bottom one to shut off when the speakerphone button is pressed. That way the chance of whisting is reduced to zero because of the greater distance between speaker and mic. I've always said thats the way they do it in stock for a reason! Also volume in general could be more like 75 or so as it is with XLoud mod but no whistling if the mics were swapped. For normal phone calls the bottom mic still wants to be used so you can hold phone the right way around to your ear ;)

Hi,now I am with Cyanogenmod 11 and when I use the 3G the phone gets very very hot,do this happen in OmniRom?So you know any fix? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
This getting hot happens in every rom, im afraid.

As for the speaker whistle, there is a mod of elbowface, you can find it in general section, it only works on CM.

P/s the volume of speaker is too loud, the same applied for in-call speaker =]]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
That happens un the stock ROM too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
Yes, Using 3G mobile data makes phones get hot, even on stock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
So,the problem is with the new 4.3 sources. Hope tilal read this and try to solve it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
I mean using 3g for a long time makes every phone gets hot, not only our XT.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
That's not true,my friends phones Z1,Moto G and galaxy ace doesn't get so hot as ours, our phone after 20m of 3G it s very very hot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
Is this a common issue that sometimes I have to press power button twice to turn the screen on? It doesn't happen every time, usually after a couple of minutes when the phone is being locked and "asleep"...

Also I have a minor issue with Google Play. Sometimes updating/downloading apps don't work on the first try. There is an error popping up and I have to start everything again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nidzo80:
It's Google Play related issue.

No problem with turning screen on but sometimes get random reboot when using some applications (not always). Also screen recording stopped working. Screen just freezes when recording starts.

Alternative application such is SCR Recorder works without problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Just because they don't get as hot doesn't mean they don't get hot, because the phone's internal temperature will almost surely rise when using something like 3G data. Besides, it's just a quirk with our phone that it gets as hot as it does, it's definitely not a software issue lol.

Don't know if it has happened to anyone else or anyone else noticed it, but even in tilal6991's latest build, when I reboot all the apps installed by default on the external memories, appear to have been uninstalled... :-\
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Hey tilal, just a suggestion for the first post: I think you should change the gapps link to just go to the Mediafire folder for the modular 0-day gapps instead of a specific one because they're always being updated. Just a thought, thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] t830mc:
MX player works like a charm (s/w, h/w+) with latest build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Anyways, I just installed today's build off a fresh wipe, and it is awesome! I still got one blue screen reboot but we'll see if I get any more; reboots are pretty normal when setting up the phone from my experience. Otherwise, the ROM is smoother than ever; there are no more lags when pressing the home button or the recents button. ART works great as always but seems to break a lot of apps when you try to move them to SD. Everything seems to work as it should, except for the Voice Dialer app which does not work (stays "Starting Up" but never actually initializes).

Awesome work tilal! I'm eagerly awaiting official nightlies, though at this point this ROM is almost perfect for my purposes. I'm truly impressed and grateful that our phone managed to get a stable, functional 4.4 build so quickly. I remember a little after I got this phone, back when tilal was still working on CM 10.2, I was starting to feel a little despondent that development was going to die out. But then OmniROM was announced and it would quickly be revealed that tilal is basically the best dev ever and now I'm really proud to own this phone :)

Thanks, XDA, tilal, OmniROM people, and everyone else for putting into practice that which makes Android awesome.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
is this ROM rooted?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
You need to flag the latest su 1.69 I think it is, after flashing the ROM. Then it will be rooted.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] billysimon99:
it happened to me too on the previous build, didnt realise that it had anything to do with apps installed on external memories. Installed a relatively big photo app and it kept disappearing everytime i rebooted and i had no idea what was wrong /: wonder if there is a workaround for this

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
On a T running Omni? I just copied it /system/app changed permission 0644. Icon is there but FC every time you tap it. Clear data/cache you MAY be able to get another window up where it warns about not many supported devices, not to rate badly if it doesn't work on your device, oh and its only mono sound + basic tuning even if it does work... Click ok to that and it closes anyway LOL just like the Sony radio3.apk's I tested before.

Losing faith again, I post info and more info over the space of a year trying to help sort a problem that has plagued us since CM10.1 days and its ignored. Other people are doing one liners about other problems, get a one liner response that doesn't even work but hey, at least there's discussion on the dev thread :)

So I also found :

Wifi MAC address is still changed to (devs?) Causes problems with more than one Omni phone on same network. (Wasn't this fixed months ago?)

The phone number in Settings, About phone, Status - My phone number is always Unknown - this used to cause a big problem with Whatsapp and Zello but now they just prompt you to type number now, but why the hell can't custom read it still?

What's with the lack of customisation options on KK as well? On stock 4.3 I could get a nice 6x6 app drawer on about 70% size, with 7 icons in the dock plus a whole load of other junk to fit more on the screen or have more one click and swipe away. I know I have good eyesight and slim fingers but it seems to me like KK is built for kids or very drunk people? Those of us actually capable of pressing within a sq/cm of screen can have more than 16 icons on the screen - 36 on the app drawer is nice and keeps it to a few pages. I've made my /data into 6Gb as well so can install a lot of apps without them complaining about being on SD card or having funny bugs.

Tilal's still here though. I think lol. I hope he stays for a long time because he's been a great dev :) At the same time, if he jumps ship to a different device I can't blame him; the T is getting to be a pretty old phone after all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yeah I'm still around. My plan is to get the Z3 Compact as my new phone but I always keep my old phone as a dev device for a while after I get a new device - it's always easier to compile stuff for older (but not too old) devices rather than cutting edge ones (i.e. Android L :P)

Thanks for all!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
From my experience, you have to navigate to DSP Manager within the music app you're using for its changes to be applied. For example, in Google Play Music, go to Equalizer or whatever it is in Settings and DSP Manager launches. Change settings in there and they will apply, but only for Play Music.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Oh this is a killer device! I actually don't like phones that are too large because I have small hands. The Z3 looks so perfect!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] syntesys:
Yes, but with Apollo if I modify the EQ, I can't hear differences :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
I use google music too and that trick worked for me only ONCE, after that, i tried to reboot but the Equalizer did not work. This is very random and unpredictable

Instead of that, I recommend CM rom, although it has older DSP Manager but at least, that DSP manager works for you.

I have tried walkman port from Ibanez, but the sound enhancement only works ONCE after wiping dalvil cache. ( it's weird, i know).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Or you know, you could just download a separate EQ app...DSP Manager isn't the only one (or the best one, IMO) out there.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elb0wf4ce:
Mic volume is actually higher in my mod of the snd file than in stock and Omni/CM. Sensitivity is reduced but it should never have been at 100% in the first place as that's just asking for trouble. I will probably increase sensitivity for whatever section governs headphone mics as they are obviously pretty distant from our mouths when it's the dangling kind. Not sure why we can't force the top mic to be used for speakerphone calls, I tried that early last year and it just wouldn't work. The "Handset" section appears to overrule other sections and their values.

Edit: Just read your next post on the subject, which was very interesting.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Glad you found it interesting. Handset tx overrules on custom but not on stock so we are missing something that tells the phone to honor the Speakerphone tx section. It could be a problem anywhere though now we know its not that file. Maybe the AOSP dialer doesn't ask for the right section to be used but stock does. Maybe it asks correctly but something at the board level doesn't support swapping the mics while in use. They are the first 2 places i'd look if I knew how anyway...

The mics can't be all the problem either because on stock I increased everything and still couldn't get it to whistle with top mic or bottom. There was a bit of echo and reduced quality but not what we have on custom so i'm starting to think Sony have some quality audio drivers/noise suppression or something controlling all this that we don't just have and probably never will. I'm expecting similar problems on my new Z1 Compact as that has two sensitive mics and a decent speakerphone on stock.

Blame Sony :D They build the phones so high spec in such a small case that things have to be tamed by software to co-exist. They then keep these parts closed source while supporting the community with the bulk. It's like the Wifi and Bluetooth problems some people have had sound very similar to ours by nature. Both these systems operate at 2.4GHz so its technically infeasible for them to operate correctly together without problems in a small phone - all the time it's transmitting to your router it's deaf to a Bluetooth device just a few feet away because the Bluetooth receiver will only see the closer Wifi transmitter as a huge background noise. Software must come into play where the transmit/receive time at 2.4GHz is shared gracefully between them and they are not seeing each others traffic. Without this inside knowledge we're never going to be able to get rid of some of these problems I think.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elb0wf4ce:
Btw, the section which governs the mic volumes for audio/video recording are also ignored in favour of the "Handset" values.

P.S. If anyone wonders why I made the values in my mod universal, it's because I wanted them at a fairly sane default so that if any dev grabs my mod in the future they can increase certain values as and when needed. I would've put higher volumes for the camcorder section but it's ignored anyway, so never mind.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
What I've found in my past AOSP Xperia T experience was that the microphone, in high volume situation (disco, live concerts, etc.) distorts the sound. With stock ROM this doesn't happen.

Using your snd file, [MENTION=748540]elb[/MENTION]0wf4ace, is this problem fixed?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
[MENTION=3381828]tilal6991[/MENTION]: first of all, always thanks for your support to the ROM.

The difference between stock ROM and AOSP ROM is that the microphone in stock is more dinamic. In AOSP the mic seems to have more gain (even if snd_soc_msm is modified to reduce it), so the recorder sounds are always a bit overdriven, when the recording peak reachs to the max.

I've done some samples, trying to explain what happens when you record something in AOSP ROM for our Xperia T. I hope it will be useful to understand the problem.
