Some insight on how to turn off dot view?
[One (M8) Android Development] josh.walker.9242:
Is there a fix for the speaker distortion? I'm new to aosp, I usually run GPE but on the highest volume for ringtones, the audio is kind of distorted. I thought CM had a comit that fixed it or something? Thanks!

I tried searching but the search feature on XDA isn't working for me right now.

BlissPop-v3.7-m8-UNOFFICIAL-20150801-0733

For any flash-a-holics out there, here is a recent build from this morning. Nothing ground breaking in it (see the change log), just making sure a new repo of mine still builds. I dirty flashed it over the recent officials. However, if you are coming from an older build or without Candy kernel, a *clean* flash is recommended! :good:

Thank You

is Audio-Distortion fixed in this update ? Coz all or the current builds have Audi-Distortion and that makes phone unusable atleast for me :(
[One (M8) Android Development] fBx:
What distortion actually? When and how does it occur?
[One (M8) Android Development] gitin:
It occurs at Full Volume, it was fixed by CM in past update but now its back again and almost all latest roms/updates has it

So I am using old version of Bliss

everytime i try a new update, I then go back to old rom coz of audio distortion
[One (M8) Android Development] fBx:
But this affects only speakers, does it? I can't hear anything wrong with earphones
[One (M8) Android Development] mcflyrk01:
does it only happen with music? I've never had an issue with speaker phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] E30Nova:
Happens with everything, most likely. I can hear it when watching YouTube videos, or when a notification goes off. The Distortion is back and the overall volume is much lower than about a month and a half ago.
[One (M8) Android Development] gitin:
good you guys are not noticing any distortion .... may be its me, but that is why I am using old build
[One (M8) Android Development] SiK TL:
I'm on the 7/31 Official build. There is distortion in the last 2 volume steps. I've just learned not to go all the way up. The rom runs so smooth that to me. That's not a deal breaker.
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
I believe the audio issues are leftover from the head pimp trying to tweak the values to more acceptable levels across the board. Give me some time and I will poke around the github and see if I can get it back to how it was. Can someone give me a date of the last "non-distorted" audio build? I need a starting point to work with in debugging this one.
[One (M8) Android Development] E30Nova:
I believe I was on the 6/18 build when I had louder distortion free audio. That was the last nightly I was on before updating to 7/23 or something around there.
[One (M8) Android Development] pstrang:
Thanks to [MENTION=3987079]remicks[/MENTION] for researching this. I'll comment that these types of 'issues' are nebulous and subjective to the user. For a definitive diagnosis you'd really need two phones next to each other, one with the problem and one without. What one person says is broken, another may say sounds great.

For example, on mine, I can blast the volume where I'm surprised so much power comes out of a little speaker like that! It's impressive....at least to me. The whole phone chassis is vibrating. It even still sounds okay (not perfect), considering I'm probably at the physical limit of that little speaker.

So either I don't have the distortion problem, or, I don't expect as much out of my little phone speaker. Who knows? :confused:

My $.02.
[One (M8) Android Development] fBx:
I also don't seem to hear anything unusual with my phone speaker. It sounds okay. Then on the other side I almost never use it.

Good to see official builds stable and rolling again. Just flashed 8/3, working great as always.
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
People saying they don't have this problem can be really annoying and make it difficult to work out which ROMs have the fix properly implemented.

This one doesn't. Stop suggesting it is fine.

Easiest way to tell in the world.... As soon as ROM is flashed press up on volume till the top one or two levels beep. Pretty darn sure the screeching slight popping experienced more so on the last step confirms it isn't fixed and this has been the single most obvious test employed ever.
[One (M8) Android Development] DoubleD:
Mobile network -> no VPN connection

I have some strange mobile network problems with this rom, first i tought my mobile provider is blocking the traffic but then I tried a different ROM "Dirty Unicorn 8.5.1.1" and there it works.

my Problem:

I am using OpenConnection to open a VPN session if I am using the mobile network it´s not able to reach the VPN server. using a Wireless LAN connection solves the problem.

Same situation with my remote camera app "P2PLiveCam", with the mobile network i am unable to connect to the camera, if i am using a Wireless Lan connection it works.

any ideas?

Thanks in advance..

(I have done a quick check with other Roms: EOS and Exodus they have the same failure, and I am pretty sure with older versions it worked).
[One (M8) Android Development] pstrang:
Not sure what "as soon as ROM is flashed" has to do with your test, but my "beep" sounds perfect at max volume. :confused:

How did you get your opendsp and is version? I did getvar all and didn't have those listed.

Also, go watch a video on YouTube and turn the volume up all the way and tell me it doesn't sound distorted. I'm on the 7/31 build and I can easily hear it.
[One (M8) Android Development] gitin:
If you like, you can try OrionLP rom latest build

its has no distortion at all and sound is also loud and beats sense roms in terms of loudness ...that too without distortion

I don't know if you can use sound files from that rom and fix bliss ?
[One (M8) Android Development] pstrang:
It's on the bootloader home screen. Yea, I've noticed it isn't in fastboot getvar all, not sure why.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
There are nearly 20 variants, people!

Just because it sounds like crap on your phone doesn't mean the rest of us need hearing aids. Might work just fine on someone else's!

Having said that, it's a known issue that's being worked on.
[One (M8) Android Development] SiK TL:
The distortion honestly isn't like OMG my ears damaged. Its annoying at times but not a ROM breaker.
[One (M8) Android Development] gitin:
Its not about little distortion

It might damage the speakers permanently, do you want to risk it ??

I dont

Nd we are not complaining, actually i am on new orion rom which does not have any distortion

And before that i was on bliss, i miss many bliss features nd want to come back but can't risk my speakers

Also it looks awkward when your phone rings in front of others with bad sound/distortion

Peace....
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
I know right...

I was also getting annoyed at people's inability to recognise it. What on earth do people deem acceptable??

Anyways.. as CONFIRMED by the devs, it IS at fault and they are working on it.

I'm not bashing anyone's work either

Just really hate this "seems OK" attitude some people have, and "it's OK for some"

Bugs don't work like that, ignoring bugs and saying it seems fine hampers progression when it comes to development. Things don't improve in the world of software without criticism and scrutiny. Indeed peace out ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
This is a CM issue. This is a CM based ROM. We inherit their problems, but we also inherit their fixes. I've discussed the issue with CM a few times now and they're aware of the problem.

The best way to get it fixed is to flash CM, then submit a report to CM via jira. I may get time to crack out another special build and revert a bunch of commits to get it right, but what's really needed is for CM to fix it on their side.

You're right about needing to complain about the issue, but complaining about it here is like complaining about it in an iphone thread. Related, but still not quite right.
[One (M8) Android Development] fBx:
Well, guilty. I'm one of those saying it's ok. Then again I never boast music like it was a ghettoblaster or set my ringtone on such a ridiculously loud level. All I'm saying is that you can cope with it. Just steer clear of the last two volume steps for now. It's really not a big deal.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
I HAVE NOT flashed this yet, but am downloading and will flash as soon as it's done.

Thought it says NIGHTLY, this is built with CANDY kernel.

http://downloads.blissroms.com/BlissPop/Nightlies/m8/BlissPop-v3.8-m8-NIGHTLY-20150804-2054.zip

In this build, the following was entered after 'repo sync' to (try) to fix audio again:

cd hardware/qcom/audio-caf/msm8974 && git revert f7bddecdcbc65109dfcb152656eac7858bef2abc

Not sure if audio will be :good: again after just reverting this commit, but this is likely commit #1 of X, to fix it. This commit and future commits will all need to be entered after every 'repo sync' until CM reverts or fixes these commits.

I am still on my way out, but won't leave until pstrang is approved as official Bliss maintainer and can upload nightlies etc with full access.
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
FYI this is all thanks to fiz, I still haven't plugged back in to the matrix yet so please be sure to thank him for his continued work during our transition.

Game on.
[One (M8) Android Development] E30Nova:
Except it is. Maybe you don't use your phone's speakers for much aside from ringtones, but some of us do. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it's no big deal and doesn't affect others.

I'm not *****ing since it's really up to CM devs, but, see? Nobody mentioned it for how long, and a few of us did and [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION] was already kind enough to release a build attempting to fix it. Even when he isn't technically associated with the ROM anymore.

Like I said before, one of the nicest guys around this place.

Also [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION], do you have an md5 for the test build? I've had my fair share of problems due to bad downloads so I want to be sure it's good before flashing.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] reV17:

I tried that stupid exploding Google Chromecast add that YouTube suggested and it was heavily distorted on the old build and not anymore on 4/8.
[One (M8) Android Development] E30Nova:
I've been using this on my T-Mobile M8 for almost the entire year and a half-ish that I've had the phone. Works fine, aside from some people having audio Distortion problems at max volume. You may not have that, though, and the latest builds have supposedly fixed it. I'll probably flash today and see for myself.

Sorry, I checked my bootloader yesterday on break but forgot to compare to yours and post. I'll try to do that right now before work.

tried Fitz's new build, only issue is my notifications don't seem to respect themes. anyone else see that?
[One (M8) Android Development] reV17:
Did you dirty flash? Because everything is themed properly on my end. Clean Flashed. Have a screenie to show?
[One (M8) Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
My notification text is black on dark background in fitzs latest build with moelles deep darkness theme if that's what you mean? The text is unreadable but I'm sure there's a fix coming or a clean flash may do the trick. I dirty flashed from pstrangs build

i had dirty flashed, yes. just flashed back to the latest official and it's working again. i'll try it again and grab a shot when i get home.

odd, when i tried moelles i saw no change - still while background with black text. it was like themes weren't registering at all.

[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
I don't mean to be harsh but your post is actually counterproductive to everyone, yourself included. Your post reads very much like a lot of others, most in fact. So please don't take this personally.

Why? "Newest" is meaningless to me. Newest Unofficial? Official? Nightly? Experimental? Even that wouldn't be all that helpful. What if I posted a build 30 minutes ago?

Folks, I'm begging you! Please copy the file name of the zip you flashed and paste it in your response! If I assume that he really did flash the zip where I'm claiming to have fixed it (and it definitely is fixed on my device [there are 20 M8 variants, though)), then I may spend time trying to find more commits to revert, and others to pick... but if he didn't actually flash THE build, my own efforts will be counterproductive and make things worse for everyone.

We do very much appreciate feedback, both negative and positive. We love when we get logs, but that's not realistic for everyone all the time... we get that. MANY hours are spent building these ROMs. Please spend 30 seconds to copy the file name of the zip you're using. I know it's a pain, but I can't help anyone without it. THANKS GUYS!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] pstrang:
I dirty flashed this build to test the audio. I did not complain about distortion previously. But I admit this build does sound a wee bit better.

Thanks!!

[One (M8) Android Development] mcflyrk01:
hm so the 8/5 official also has the theming issue for me:

normally I use euphoria, but moelles theme and dark material don't seem to be working either. again, this is a dirty flash, so it could just be that.
[One (M8) Android Development] mannyelite:
Quick questions. 1) Is sound distortion also fixed/improved on latest 8/5 official build? Or only on [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION] 8/4 nightly? 2) might be a stupid one, but if I dirty flash a new build do I also have to flash gapps again?
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
Only on my build, for now. the official builds are automated and won't revert commits for one specific device.

gapps? not sure. I usually don't, but sometimes I get unlucky and have to do it anyway. No real pattern to it, as far as I can tell.
[One (M8) Android Development] mjh1978:
My apologies. This is the build I flashed and I'm on the T-Mobile US variant.

[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
No problem at all, man. Kinda feel bad because you probably feel singled out, but well over 50% are in your category.

Kind of what I was talking about to, lol. You want the 8/4 NIGHTLY build. There shouldn't be an EXPERIMENTAL and I'm not sure if there is an OFFICIAL. If there is, don't flash the OFFICIAL! Flash the nightly!

Please report back!

FYI, the commit I reverted definitely had a legit purpose, but needed two corresponding commits in the device tree from CM, which....

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m8/commit/cc7d8223666365506ff92e29db7bb63b59d9ffc8

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m8/commit/9acb4dd1db94d5123d61373bc22af6ae78235eed

were finally merged into CM on 8/4. We will need to pick these commits into the Bliss tree and that (hopefully) that will fix the issue, and audio will be better than ever.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
Actually, I'm uploading an 8/6 nightly with the fix right now. Didn't think it would finish before I had to leave for work.... won't be able to flash it until this evening though. Happy flashing!

Edit: I was able to flash my SOKP build with those same commits. It's perfect on first boot, but turds out again after that... I'd expect the same from the Bliss build. Crap! Should have checked the CM thread first... they're reporting the same thing. So 8/4 nightly, it is. :(

I disabled my themes and I'm still getting black text on dark background in notifications on fitzs 8/4 nightly with dark bliss enabled.
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Make sure Interactive governor is selected, disable multicore power saving and possibly enable intelliplug instead of mpdecision if you can on this kernel (I'm on another ROM at the moment)

If it's still a bit laggy, try disabling scrolling cache in the ROM (if the ROM doesn't have the option, it can be done in build.prop I think (someone correct me if wrong))
[One (M8) Android Development] italynstylion:
Anyone else noticing the ROM gets bogged down sometimes and grinds to a halt? You basically have to let it sort out what it's doing and then it frees up about 10 seconds later. Only had it happen a few times on the 6/18 and now on the 8/5 build. Might have had the issue with the others too but those are the only ones I've tried. Also, I'm noticing VERY high RAM utilization on this ROM. Phone seems to run about 250MB free most of the time. When I clear ALL recents, I only see about 800MB free?

@fizbanrapper the distorted audio is fixed in that 8/04 nightly build on my T-Mobile US variant of the HTC One M8.
[One (M8) Android Development] asdf916:
Using interactive governor and disabled multicore power saving, but no dice. The lag is a bit annoying because I use Swype and when I swipe "lol" it only registers L. Can't find an intelliplug option, and I'll try disabling scrolling cache later.

Any other ideas?
[One (M8) Android Development] mannyelite:
Has someone used App Ops on this ROM? i've installed it, rebooted and when i open it, it stays loading. Any idea why this might be happening. This has never happened with other ROMS.
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Ahhhh, I know what you are referring to. It's touch input lag. I presume when you go to scroll if you move your finger really slowly there's a noticeable amount of movement required before the scrolling takes place?

Been a long time since I seen that bug. Either some reverts or new commits in the kernel have caused that. Try a different kernel or ROM till it's fixed.

Not sure the precise cause. Unfortunately it's kind of like the audio bug where some less picky people don't even notice it.
