Sorry, I can't. I politely thanked them for showing their "superior intellect" and then did a 5-post countdown and deleted the post I created.

The question was short and simple and I felt it was better to delete it than to allow the thread to turn into a drawn out insult fest. My view is to shut it down instead of allowing attempts at drawing me into the madness.

Yes, I allowed them to get to me, but it's better this way.

I've been getting brutally bad battery life on 1/1 and 1/2. Haven't clean flashed in a long time, admittedly. We'll see how 1/4 goes.

EDIT: This was due to some bug (gallery? not sure what program) endlessly generating thumbnails... No idea just how many it created, i stopped loading the folder when it got to 15,000 items. Off of 100 pictures!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You may want to. I have not clean flashed since before the 12/22?? build. Everything is smooth for me and I look at it like "It's not broke so I won't fix it".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
So anyone else having really, really low volume in calls? I have everything turned up to max and I can barely hear people talking and stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Forgive me when I ask this.

Did you turn the volume up with the keys while in a call? I had the same problem until I tried it then I did the "Homer Simpson" when it was a little easier to hear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
I've tried turning volume up in calls with the volume keys. Still very soft to hear people, and the ring is very soft as well. And the ring I'm using is very loud on other phones when volumes turned max. It's just this phone and only when I flashed CM11 on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Ok, had to ask. Mine is still a little low but it's livable. I'd have to look for it, but there is a thread that talks about a mod to increase volume and I think someone successfully did it in the CM10 thread (manually applied the edits).

If someone knows of what I speak and/or has the link, feel free to jump in.

That one is way better and its FREEEE. It works perfectly fine and has tons of ways to customize it.

Also is anyones skype mic working for them? BT/headset work fine but when I try an echo test on the 12/30 and snapshot build it doesn't work for me

My bad I spent the .99 cents for all the other online remotes. There's TONS of them though and sure is a hell lot cheaper than 6.99
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
There is also a 1/4 nightly build that captured a few commits not in the M2 Snapshot if anyone wants it as well. Its up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Flashing momentarily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
I'll have a look around and see if I can't find that thread, thanks.

Try reading here. Be careful flashing as I don't know if they work on CM11.

Guess I need to hit the charger. 7h 30m on time with 5+ hrs screen on time and I'm about out of juice. That was two flashes, one nandroid, a bunch of forum and G+, and a whole lotta checking things out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rshift:
I flashed 1/4 nightly as well and it seems fine to me. Only thing not working that looked like it might was video calls. Skype mic not working and hangouts video isnt upside down anymore. Mic still not working properly yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
If you have a BT headset you can use it to Skype for the time being, the mic is a known issue. The only other item I know of is compass related and I found that the orientation sensor is out, it needs to be enabled in the firmware. Google didn't enable it if I read correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
If the video orientation is fixed I'd say mic won't be far behind. Just one of those waiting games. :)

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Can you school me a bit?? What's the benefit in "not" formatting system when flashing a new build? I understand 'not' formatting data. I keep all my ringtones and walls on my sd card including anything else that I might loose when wiping the system. I'm hoping you know something that I'm missing...thanks...

I manually edit systemroot>etc>snd_soc_msm>snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3. BE CAREFUL YOU WILL **** UP YOUR PHONE WITH THE SMALLEST MISTAKE.

You have to increase the Rx case uses which are the speakers. My ringtone scares the **** out of my wife everytime it goes off and my Tour Beats SCREAM!!!!!

Good luck and seriously BE CAREFUL! I do this on every ROM.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Seriously guys don't flash those your asking for problems. Not a negative comment aimed at Mr FernBch I appreciate you sharing. I spent several years doing auto sound imaging and due to the high spl's my ears are not working like they used to. I have flashed every flashable mod there is and the ones that do work are gonna do what I'm suggesting. Just follow my suggestion above and you'r set. Once you learn this method you can manually JACK up the system volume/sound on all 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 ROM's.

I'm sure you'll need some guidance so I figured I would throw ya a bone and anyone interested can ask questions :cool:

If I get enough interest I guess I could whip up a guide. JLMK

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Got your pm sevron and that's all good but to limit the # of times I have to type things out hit me up here on the thread.

On 2nd thought the last guide I started I got hit up constantly by lazy members so I'll probably post on this thread where the members are more experienced as long as there's no objections by anyone, dev's, moderators or members. JLMK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
Seeing how I've never edited a system file like this, how would I go about it? Would I just open it up in a root file explorer app and go from there or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Thanks for the added info on the volume levels. I apologize if I was misunderstood with what was posted.

The main reason for sharing was for the reads, not the zips. The link with the longer thread (first one?) I believe had comments in it about using extreme caution as it could really hose things. It also stressed making a nandroid before doing anything for that reason. I was more for the info and instructions on manually doing things. IIRC, I first read about it in the CM10 thread and the poster said they had done things manually and he liked his results. I should have stressed reading everything more than anything.

As for my method of flashing the nightlies, it's a personal preference. Everything works so far, so I don't clean flash each nightly (as long as they are the same rom). It saves me from reinstalling apps, doing the settings, restoring the accounts, etc. When a big update comes, such as the Snapshot, I make a nandroid beforehand. That way if it goes south I can easily recover.

If things start to get screwy or if a nightly causes issues, I then do a clean flash. That will help me figure out if the nightly was the issue or if I just did too many dirty flashes. Also, because I am running nightlies I usually make a backup once a week.

It's not that I'm lazy, it just works for me. Also, if you are coming to CM11 from anything but the builds in this thread, you must clean flash at least the first time around minimum. If you dirty flash over anything else the chances of having problems are much, much greater because there most likely will be "remnants" of your previous ROM and that will hose things up. The same rule applies to different ROMs. Even though there is a KK build of paranoid android, omni, and others they should not be dirty flashed over each other.

Been doing it that way since the days of the Moto DX. When I had my Photon4G it seemed like I could only flash dirty twice so I soon cleaned flashed each build. When I got the GS4 I had issues dirty flashing the first few builds of CM10, then I figured out my recovery was not "cleaning" well. I made sure to copy everything important to PC and did a factory reset and made sure I formatted both internal and external storage. I also quit using external storage as a default location, it's only a place to keep important things now. Since I did that things have been better. I "dirty" flashed CM10 for almost two months straight, had very few issues, and stellar battery life. Hence why a said "It isn't broke, so I'm not fixing it".

I apologize if was got long winded here.

Yes

***I'll save the updated info periodically and keep updating so you can follow along without much of a delay so be sure to continually F5 (refresh page).***

IMPORTANT: Do this 1st...Customrecovery>wipe cache/Dalvik>reboot system

Using Root Explorer open snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 via text editor, allow permissions. Here's the meat and bones...

Scroll down about half way and locate SectionDevice>Name "Earpiece">Comment "Handset Rx device">EnablesSequence>6 lines down>Rx1 Digital Volume ':2:69.0%. Your gonna boost all similar percentages that are Rx case uses. Increase the percentage by 3-5 points (I need the max boost so I increase by 5 points). For example this particular line will go up to ':2:72.0% OR as much as ':2:74.0%. DO NOT EXCEED A 5 POINT INCREASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and pay close attention when doing this cause it's easy to add a space or an empty line without noticing. This would result in some bad behavior and or a boot loop/freeze.

Next line Handset Extra Gain Rx DeviceRx1 Digital Volume>from ':2:69.0% to your increase of choice.

Follow the same method on all Rx case uses that have Rx Digital Volume %. Save & Exit.

Questions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
This is for the in call/ringtone volume only correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
If you edit all Rx Digital Volume %'s all speaker uses will boost. You can always follow the method and boost the Tx case uses as well for good measure...

So change 2:67.7% to say 2:69.7%, 3 point gain?

So I need to change that one to 69.7% and the Digital Volume for the Handset Extra Gain Rx device Digital Volume to 69.7% as well.

Are those the only two I need to change in order to change the in call volume or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Sorry I know this is a rough explanation.

Change ':2:67.7% to ':2:70.0% and all Rx Digital Volume % lines that are Rx case uses...I'll explain a little more...Name "Earpiece" Comment "Handset Rx device" is what I'm calling Rx case uses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
That's okay no apology needed you don't wanna **** this up...

NO...increase all Rx Digital Volume %'s used in all Rx lines.

Gimme a sec to get to the file and I'll list all the lines you should change OR you can simply increase all Volume %'s to ensure you BOOST everything.

BTW...did you wipe cache/Dalvik 1st????????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
Yes I wiped cache/dalvik first.

And I changed those lines, but it's saying operation failed. I believed I had permissions for the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
What is stating 'operation failed'?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
When I go to save the file.

This operation failed, try changing to Root Access mode.

I'm an idiot, nevermind that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Root Explorer? Go to Superuser and see if Root Explorer is on the allowed list. If it is then delete it. Go to manage apps and force close Root Explorer.

Go back and long press snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 this will bring up a list of options from there you select Open in Text Editor and it will prompt you to allow permisions. Do the changes of topic, SAVE & EXIT.

BTW if anything gets wonky on you then simply delete snd_soc_msm_2x _Fusion. And remove the .bak from the snd_soc_msm_2x _Fusion3.bak that was created by Root Explorer. Wipe cache/Dalvik via recovery and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
I changed the following lines for DigitalVolume for

Handset Rx device

Handset Extra Gain Rx device

Handset Rx device for voice call

Handset Rx device for VOIP call

Handset Rx device for Hearing AID (btw, this one only had a 69, no % so I set it to 70, that correct?)

TTY HCO Handset Rx device - do I change this one as well? It's set to 68, no % either.

The other lines in that file have RX5 DigitalVolume, the ones I have been changing were all RX1 DigitalVolume. So I'm now assuming that I do need to change the TTY HCO Handset Rx device to 70 as well. Since it's RX1 DigitalVolume as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
sevron, I know you are deep into this already, but if it gives you too much trouble you can do like one of the threads I read about it said. I believe someone copied the file to his PC and used windows notepad or wordpad to edit the file. Afterwards he copied it back to his device, set permissions accordingly, rebooted, and enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
I have it done, was just wondering about the TTY HCO Handset Rx device line. I'm assuming I change it as well since it's RX1 DigitalVolume is the same as the others, but I wasn't sure.

And all the other Rx devices have RX5 DigitalVolume so I'm assuming those are also seperate from the in call stuff I have been changing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
I can only account for adjusting the percentages (%). I don't touch those lines your asking about.

The following are examples:

1) 'Rx1 Digital Volume' :2:67.7% to :2:70.0%

2) 'Rx1 Digital Volume' :2:56.4% to :2:59.0%

'Rx2 Digital Volume' :2:56.4% to :2:59.0%

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
I long pressed snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion and there's no "Open in Text Editor". I go to "Open With..." Then it pops up asking "Open as..." then I select Text file. I still get "Operation Failed" though. I never get anything asking about allow permissions.

No I haven't. Still having issues with permissions -_-. I fail =/

Uh, now it's saying file not found. Never once did I select anything to delete it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
How do I not have SuperSU installed -_-.

But yeah, it's saying file not found now -_-.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Super SU is what I prefer too

Be sure to go to manage apps and force close Root Explorer when you have a hiccup and b4 you give it a 2nd go...

Just keep plugging away cause this works and you've got my attention til' you get through this.

Besides my wife is out at an all girl party for a while. The only thing is she's gonna come home hammered meaning I can do whatever I want with/to her so I'll need to step away from the laptop for maybe 3-4 minutes...tops! LOL :cool::D:cowboy::laugh:

What is stating 'file not found'?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
Root Explorer, when I open the file in text editor it says "File Not Found"

So for some reason I rebooted after installing SuperSU and now I'm stuck at the cyanogenmod boot logo. Booting to recovery screen comes up when I go to recovery, then it shuts off and starts normal booting again. I may have to just reflash, grrr.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Hmmmmm, nothing should have been changed unless the operation failed prompt was for something else is all I can think of. So the file snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 was there and when you long pressed it stated 'file not found'?? Was there a .bak that had been created??

Don't worry too much about the boot loop. Simply via custom recovery flash the ROM build your on (not a new one the exact same one) and reboot. Don't flash or do anything else!

The good news is once you get this method you can do this on any ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
There was no .bak that got created. I quit and cleared everything from the memory and went back into it and it's still there, just I can't open it in an editor to edit it. Said it wasn't found.

Well, I got bigger issues now. Currently downloading the stock firmware to get out of this boot animation crap. Been at the cyanogenmod logo this entire time now.

I can't get into recovery, that's the thing. It comes up saying Recovery booting, then shuts off and boots again and tries to go into the os.

Got into recovery. Problem is I can't remember the last nightly I flashed :P. Been to busy to install the new ones and can't remember last one I installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Pull the battery out for a few and let things cool for a minute. Then come back to it and manually boot into recovery.

If there were changes made to that file then there would be a .bak that was created.

I can always zip up my stock and or edited snd_soc_msm file and post it for ya...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Is there any way to get SuperSU on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
Is there a place CM downloads the last nightly you flashed on the filesystem? Or does it just download it to flash, then remove it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
It downloads it to storage/cmudater on mine (internal storage).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
YES

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I also prefer SuperSU over the SU included with CM11. I had an issue when on CM10 (probably something I did) and the two acted like they were "confusing" each other so I just stuck with the stock SU app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
At this point I would hate to see you walk away from it. Your right there...

I also flashed the 1/4/2013 and started clean using the steps I posted and everything is boosted and working fine. Once you get it down its a breeze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Make sure to make a copy of the file and edit it. If you have issues editing, loose it, etc it won't hose your install. Once you are done editing add the ".bak" to the original, copy the modified file to the same directory, set perms (I believe rw-r--r--), and reboot. You may have to set the directory as R/W before you copy the file to it and set perms. Once done reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
No, I'm not walking away from it. I'm just doing the update first then editing it again.

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

So the lines I was editing were the correct ones. Edit the lines for all the Rx uses and leave the RX5 and so on alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Great point. When both are running IME as well they have conflicts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sevron:
OMG, I'm trying to install Root Explorer and it's like the very last install to happen -_-. I shouldn't of hit restore from google when doing this lol.

Anyways, once I get Root Explorer I'm going to go back and edit the file again. I'll be changing the RX1 DigitalVolume for each of these sections to 70%. I'm going to leave the non-percent ones at their default values.

Handset Rx device

Handset Extra Gain Rx device

Handset Rx device for voice call

Handset Rx device for VOIP call

Handset Rx device for Hearing AID (btw, this one only had a 69, no % so I set it to 70, that correct?)

TTY HCO Handset Rx device - do I change this one as well? It's set to 68, no % either.

It happened again. I tried doing it with the builtin CM File Manager in Root Access mode this time. Opened File Manager in root access mode, went to /etc/snd_soc_msm...folder, opened the file, edited the lines and went to save and it gave me operation has failed. Go back to it and file not found is now displayed.
