Calls and media streaming over Bluetooth is broken because of cm using new mixer setting...

Its been reverted but not merged yet. Take a look at cm gerrit and you will see. also

Someone is trying to mess around with Bluetooth calls quality fix.

edit:

http://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/...G&id=1d66c6d893aeda97bcafd3e3f6c9333814583690

this might help you out in activating wb_amr support as its confirmed working on galaxy alpha..

update 2: bluetooth changes merget into cm git so might be intersting to test out the changes made...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Thank you.

New test build coming soon. (To test latest BT fixes)

WB_amr on galaxy alpha works in a different way (firmware switching). Our sound card uses something else that I still need to find. (I'll probably investigate on stock ROM audio driver)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] prmah:
Installed stock (official from sammobile) used for more than 8 hrs. Below is my impression :

1. TouchWiz ..so crapp. Taken all beauty from android lollipop

2. Audio works superb no problem, no volume increase issue. Call quality is good even when i have installed russian firmware and i live in india

3. Bluetooth works good. No issues so far over calls or music.

4. Samsung somehow improved display also, auto brightness works great.

5. Battery life .. Good lost only 30% in 7-8 hours of heavy use(wifi, location , bluetooth and many calls).

6. Some issue is there over notifications on my moto 360.

Over all : All these positives are small in comparison to smoothness of gearcm and beauty of lollipop.

So, i'll be returnig to GearCm once i'll able to root again.

Thanks :)

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] I am seeing some activity on cyanogenmod github for our device https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_i9500/tree/cm-12.0 Does this mean that they are going to support our device officially?

thnks new rom stable good icons

2 bugs i found mic volume is low music and call volume is verygud

2nd ambient disply dosenot work on touching notification....
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Ali.G:
In call Mic is very low. I almost need to shout into it so the other end can hear me!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] MANNSAAB:
+1

only call mic volume is very low other person cant hear untill i shout

other sounds are perfect i means music player and call hearing by me
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Shiftok:
Few issues that I found (dirty flashed):

1. I got reboot one time

2. I have some audio issues with headphones, not every time sound is working

3. Mic volume is too low.

Reverted to frapeti's one.

I don't think that it's stable rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] speed s:
Don't report issues if you only dirty flashed and also not coming from previous gearcm builds...

The build is very stable...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Thanks [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

I clean flashed latest stable Rom,

Have two issues:

1) as others said, low microphone level in calls. Media sounds good but in calls volumes very low.

2) led notification light is to low, how can i explain, like it's faded, like it has very low energy :)

Thank you again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
1) Ok. I'll increase mic volume.

2) Normal behaviour with latest kernel changes. (only charging light has low power)

Do not consider that build as a stable release but as a test build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Thank you,
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Infeg:
BT is still the same... [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], make pls headphone overload possibility... It`s need to connect my band to phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] MANNSAAB:
plz also fix ambient disply it works fine on fapretis build thnks...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Have you tried with a clean install? Does it happens also on frapeti's cm12? Was it working fine on GearCM 11?

Saying everytime "please fix that" or "is still the same" doesn't help anyone. Thank you.

Because frapeti doesn't use a proper power hal to manage input devices. I'll check if ambient display calls something in powerhal to enable touchscreen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Infeg:
Yes, it was.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjoni:

Big performance boost coming on next build. (probably tomorrow or Saturday)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Waiting eagerly :)

Alberto, may ask why echo effect in calls?

Please don't understand me wrong, no offence but i wondering is it cm related or just for our device?

Cm11 was have this issue and it's one of the major bugs for cm for me :(

Is there will be any possible fix?

Or cm team know about our devices call problem?

Thank you again for all work done for us!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
It has been fixed since latest GearCM 11 releases...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
And if i may ask,

Did you tried latest Russian lollipop modem?

Frapeti tells better calls quality for his Rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
It is possible, i haven't tested it yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Sorry i was used latest gearcm11 before your initial cm12 releases, don't tested latest builds.

So echo effects will gone after more cm12 development or when you have a time?

Thank you again for your answer, i will try Russian modem and report back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Also GearCM 12 doesn't have echo effect...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
I mean in calls, other sounds in media or notifications are great.

i don't have too but receiver in calls have sometimes echo effects.

It may be related my device or country related. Now using latest official samsung modem for my country, Turkey.

Can anyone can confirm sometimes echo effects?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mufasa284:
I confirm there is still echo on my phone. Everytime. I will try the 5.0 modem and see if it changes anything. But right now, the echo is there and has always been there in numerous builds
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Hey man i noticed something with the changes you make on the mixer.xml. The more you increase the volumes you won't get any sound. i have an idea for you. Why don't you use the normal CM mixer coz when you using that one the sound is loud and safe the only thing that needs to be increased is the mic volume just let me know what you think coz i have tested the changes you made yesterday and its fast smooth but theres no sound so i had to revert back to the CM mixer and increased the Mic Gains....This just an idea just let me know what you think ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Ok. Thanks for reporting. Wait next stable build (coming today or tomorrow).

All my changes are tested. What you said isn't true. Any Digital Volume can be increased up to 191 and any Volume (no digital, usually input related) can be increased up to 31. CM Stock Mixer isn't properly coded.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Maybe I might have missed something but will double check to see what I missed

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] I don't mean to ask too much, but the Bluetooth audio is terrible. I know if there was a quick solution you would have fixed it long ago. I just returned from official firmware. I had to stop on [MENTION=4559222]frapeti[/MENTION] build before returning to where I left off. I must say the Bluetooth Audio on his build is almost perfect if not for some clicks heard on every pulse.. I believe two hands are better than one. Try and see how you can work things out with other devs He has the stability, and you have the smoothness. I believe there can be a mutual benefit from a union here. All the same, well done:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I'll add it to first post (with another link, because Dropbox ones are bandwidth limited)

When i find a good and free OTA Service :)

Tomorrow i'll release new Stable build with many improvements including Bluetooth audio fix.

I don't work with "devs" like frapeti for many reasons (negative ones that i don't want to say in public)

Changelog for 20150207 Stable Build (coming tomorrow):

Updated CM Sources

Updated Audio Driver (with new mixer_paths, now working much better than before)

Optimized Input/Output Audio Levels (no more echo effect and much more...)

Fixed Bluetooth Audio bad quality

Optimized ART Runtime for Cortex-A15

Optimized Network Speed (Mobile & WiFi)

Added Blinking Led Support (charging light uses low-power now, low light level is normal)

Re-Enabled 3D TV Support through MHL HDMI

Re-Worked CM Performance Profiles (now Balanced as default)

Some Updates from I9500XXUHOA7 (usable ones without LL kernel sources)

KERNEL: Updated Audio Driver to latest available from Wolfson

KERNEL: VPN should work properly now for ALL users

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NDELEON:
[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] [MENTION=4559222]frapeti[/MENTION]. At some point you both are going to get a new device and development for i9500 will come to a crawl..

You two have been most devoted to your work without no reward, even when you I believe have other things to would have done. All we members do is complain how "A" does not work, "B" is too slow etc, at the heat of this pressure you still keep your calm and do what you do best without flaring off about the negative reception on your work. When you both are gone, like I said, this device development will almost be dead.

All I am asking is that Please if After spending so much effort on your work and you later leave with so much left to fix there wont be any legacy left. I believe XDA was meant for devs to share and support. That aim will be defeated if you two don't work as one. It has never been easy but I know that if alberto and frapeti get along well, i9500 will be on every devs lips and you will be remembered for it.

You can't downgrade modems easily. You need to restore your efs backup to make it working.

Try exFAT.

Yeah, I know. Latest CM Sources uses another method to enable flash on sysfs dependent devices. I'll check if I can make it working as before.

1- it wasn't modem related. My SMSC was cleared and I don't know why. Maybe was my little sister that I found messing up with secret codes (I have an app to find them all). Is there any option to set up the number in this Rom?

2- it happened when I was on vacation with no internet access. On the latter builds it seems to be fixed. If I found this error again I'll give you the logcat.

3- is there any forum post for gear recovery ? I found a couple of errors and I don't want to mess up this thread

Hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION],

Battery consumption increased on stable build, don't know weather it is due to russian modem or cm sources. Do you have any idea ?

On BT calls, its is working but some click sounds in between ( first call immediately after installing the the rom sounded parrot voice but okey afterwards)

Thanks :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TheAmazingAbudi:
Did both. Still stutters. It's so bad, that only two frames of that animation are loading. One halfway through that animation, and next frame is of the open app drawer. I have no idea why this is happening!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] melinerunen:
Well, the same behavior happens to me with other apps until I restart the phone. Maybe memory related? Also I noticed that it happens not frequently when the camera has a error
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TheAmazingAbudi:
Wait, so the animation ISN'T lagging on your phone? How can that simple animation be an isolated issue? I cleared all my recent apps, uninstalled Google Now Launcher, reboot the phone, and didn't open any apps. Still its only showing two frames of that animation, stuttering like hell.

Other apps with weird stutters are Phone dialer and Settings. But it's random in those apps, the stutter in Launcher3 is consistently happening every single time :-/
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] asad007:
