The reconstruction process can be done only for the OS part...

You can't extract the radio or SPL from the device, you need a shipped ROM to get this two parts.

Read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=335568 to get more info, but as for i know, no Orange shipped ROM is out, so you can't get the original SPL.

Cheers.

No, Snapchat doesn't store anything on your device of that nature for you to be able to save it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] senny22:
So, I've found that the audio on Lineage OS and other Roms based on LOS wasn't as good as on the stock firmware. Both when it comes to mic and headphones audio.

I followed this up by comparing the "mixer_paths.xml" files from Lineage OS between the file from stock marshmallow as well as stock nougat (A2017G model) and there are quite a few missing lines in the AOSP version and some lines that just have different values. B.T.W Is the "mixer_paths.xml" the only file where you edit values which have to do with audio?

Anyway, I then used the standard mixer file from the stock Marshmallow firmware on the Lineage OS rom and although the sound is lower than with the standard mixer file from LOS the audio is noticeably better according to my ears. (This could be placebo but I doubt it. I also use the HD 598 headphones which are quite good compared to many other headphones on the market so the difference in audio quality is easier to discover).

Feel free to try this out if you are on a AOSP rom and want better audio. Steps below:

1: Make sure you're rooted and have disabled system write protection.

2: Navigate to System -> etc -> mixer_paths.xml.

3: Cut the "mixer_paths.xml" file to a backup location in case you want to go back.

4: Download either the marshmallow or the nougat file that I've provided below and rename it to "mixer_paths.xml" and paste it in the same location. System -> etc.

5: Reboot.

6: Profit? I don't know, it's up to you if you think it sounds better. Remember that with cheap earbuds you most likely won't hear a difference, at least I wouldn't.

You can try the process with either the Nougat or the Marshmallow file i uploaded. The Nougat is a little bit louder.

In case you want to go back then just copy the mixer_paths.xml file you backed up and replace the current mixer_paths.xml file in the same directory as above. Also reboot.

Edit: As [MENTION=1535402]RUNNERX[/MENTION] pointed out, make sure that the permissions are set to 644 and then reboot to make sure it's working correctly.

I think we need a properly soundmod...

I tried with stock ROM (B19 A2017U) but it only affects the Normal Mode in headphones.

There's so much potential with this device... Ak4490 is a beast that needs to be released from its "cage".
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cfbruck:
As far as I can tell, the problem is that no custom rom is using the akm dac?

This is too bad, especially since regular dac sounds in my opinion much much better (and different) in aosp with the latest sound fix compared to stock normal (loudness being part of it). Still it is clearly not the akm dac.

On stock, both normal and superior mode have some kind of strange tuning, almost like there is some postprocessing even with dolby off. On aosp that seems to be gone at least.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] icenight89:
It was mentioned previously that the mixer XML was ignored and all changes needed to be made the (ADC**?) files. This has since been patched resulting in proper use of akm DAC. The issues with the sound not being as good quality wise lies within these files, not the XML.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] senny22:
Ok. Where would I find these files?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cfbruck:
So can anyone confirm that they got the akm dac working with headphones? (and comment on the results?)

I installed the AOSP extended 7.1.2 and then magisk zip, but it didn't seem to work, though it did play louder (and stereo on speakers).

Maybe I'll try a different rom...
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] doyou37:
I was under the impression that the headphone DAC has been working since early March. The stereo speaker fix has nothing to do with the headphone DAC.

[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cfbruck:
Ok, it might just be that it sounds bad in the LOS-implementation then. Thanks to senny for exploring possibilities.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cfbruck:
Just to give some feedback

This definitely changes the sound. Standard aosp sounded kind of raw to me, with tizzy trebles, though with a lot of detail. This makes it smoother, sounds more like it should in a way, easier to listen to.

There is some loss of information though, and soundstage a bit smaller.

(I found that if I tried to copy and replace the file it didn't work (sound not working). I had to first delete the mixer file present, then paste the other one.)
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RUNNERX:
After replacing the file make sure permissions are 644 and reboot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] senny22:
Well good to hear that more people find a difference.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dyonoctis:
when i'm looking at this: http://blog.son-video.com/en/2017/01/test-fiio-x5-iii/

I can't help but think that ZTE could have done so much more to make the experience more complete. The fiio got viper pre-installed, and digital low pass filter to play with that are actually coming straight from AKM :

"Five different 32-bit digital filter types are available: Short delay sharp roll-off and short delay slow roll-off filters have overall short delay characteristics. Sharp roll-off filter and slow roll-off filter preserve the phase difference and a new filter that has even slower roll-off character was added to these four filters. They are selectable according to the user audio and system preferences."

We've got a phone with one of the best DAC in the world, but can't do much because android by default is limited, and it seems obvious that zte don't have a lot of experience when it comes to makes audiophile device. a partenrship with fiio, cayin, or ibasso would have been terrific, especially considering that fioo and cayin have both already launch a product with an akm4490 running on android at full potential.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cfbruck:
Maybe we can hope that some developer with at interest in audio can unlock some of the potential.

Listening some more with the mixer files I have to say it really is a big improvement, especially with the marshmallow to me.

Whatever it is that makes it better should be part of LOS. Using LOS 14.1 with the beastmode kernal and the changed mixer paths - it actually sounds pretty good.

However, for me changing the mixerpaths breaks audio functionality. I get no audio in calls, neither speaker nor headphones. I am using the sounds fix for stereo speakers 4.1, maybe that affects it.

Does it work without side effects for you senny? Whats your setup?

From 2BQC2 to 1AQF1 or 3 or something like this...

Here Rollback Prevention...

2.

But maybe this is something else... not Security related but maybe some Network conflict... transfer trouble...

:confused: :confused:

So do you ever before succesffuly flashed via netOdin?

Maybe to BQC5 or BQH1?

Or is this your first time attempt?

3.

You saw same Error message?

Or something else in red?

Maybe try first flash BQH1 fully, then jump to Combination Firmware...

Again. Depend on you... if it is "urgent" or you are lucky nothing explode and your S3 is alive... :D

I will try to search in Firmware... maybe then I can restore the whole Error message...

Samsung Pay worked before I changed the CSC with the combination firmware. It didn't when I got the watch, but it got enabled in HK after about a month, and it suddenly was an option. It would ask me after a reset when I set up SPay again if I wanted to register to Samsung Pay (HK) - after changing the CSC to XSA (Australia) it didn't ask me to do this, and I don't have the vouchers/offers in Chinese any more in the SPay for Gear app.

Gear S3 locked

Hi!

I really don't know what to do. I bought a new phone, and I forget the reactivation lock on. The problem is because I didn't receive the SMS on my new phone. So, I canceled my Samsung account and reactivated again with the same phone number and e-mail, but after that, the gear s manager app shown the message attached. It seems like that I have a new Samsung account ID, but the same e-mail address. I called Samsung, but they told me that they couldn't do anything because I bought my gear s3 in Korea (I live in Brazil).

image1: https://ibb.co/jBECGw[/IMG]

or (if I check the option to remain the reactivation lock on before I insert my Samsung account I have two different messages)

So, now I have a watch that doesn't work. I flashed the room R760XXU2BQC2, but it doesn't work.

I don't know what to do anymore. I think it is a big bug of Samsung. Now, I don't have any assistance, and I flashed a room that I don't know how to use (gear s3 still unusable).

Please, anyone can help me? I'm three weeks without my gear (many attempts to set the reactivation mode off without successful).
