Please help I don't know what to do. I did a stupid thing. I have a rooted droid X and I used root explorer to follow the instructions on the below website to try and get arabic font support, but now after reboot it is stuck at the M boot screen. Is there anything I can do to go into recovery mode and then what commands can I run to rename the files back without having to do a factory reset. I did make a copy of them before overwriting them. Please help.

Thanks.
[Droid X General] kizer8:
Please anyone??
[Droid X General] kizer8:
I pulled the battery, but that didn't help. Before I do a factory reset, what does "apply sdcard:update.zip" in the recovery mode do?
[Droid X General] david black:
Maybe try deleting the cache in recovery. Not sure if that'll do anything but there's a chance I suppose.
[Droid X General] kizer8:
Thanks for the reply, but what does deleting the cache do?

Symptom: With the new evo based kernels there is too much mic gain and the remote party you are calling hears too much background noise and complains they can't understand you, or they think you are outside in a noisy place while you are indoors in a reasonably quiet place.

The fix is to use rootexplorer or similar file manager to rename default.acdb file in /system/etc/firmware (rename to any name you want, you can always rename it back) then reboot.

- Don't do this if you have a nexus one based kernel.

- BEWARE, if you rename default.acdb file you may start getting robo voice, depending on your winmo rom.

Renaming the file is all that is needed if you don't get robot voice.

If you get robo voice you need to change your winmo rom that has intentially older oem drivers (even if it is new base)

VBN Roms newest version works fine.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776971

Energy roms are also fine.

Miri's newest rom doesn't work. (has robo voice) (Keep in mind that this rom does not have robo voice with the default.acdb untouched)

If you have another winmo rom that doesn't have robo voice please post and I will add it here. Don't forget radio version please.

Please test and provide feedback about winmo roms, call quality and robo voice.

IF YOU WANT TO TEST BY YOURSELF call another phone that you hold on your ear and put hd2 on a table or something. And tap your nails to a hard surface within 1 meter range. You will hear a lot of banging as if it is not your nails but a hammer. Then rename the defaut.acdb file and reboot. Test again and you will see the background noise (mic gain) is lowered to winmo levels and your nails sound like nails! And of course when you talk to

someone they will understand you clearly.

Credit goes to Cotulla, and a few people in htc-linux chat on netripper irc(log) and lippa from shubcraft thread.

Integrating this to android builds would be good development move.

Popular kernel info:

hastarins newer kernels, michyprimas r1 kernel, huanyus newer kernels are evo based.

michyprimas r11 is nexus one based.

if you have camera flash problems, you have an evo kernel.

EDIT: With some configurations, robo voice may only be present in first call only. And again with some configurations you may get system not responding: wait error on startup. Try: search and find new htcleo.acdb file and put it in the same folder as new kernels look for that filename.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lippa:
Great post! I suspect a few have had this problem. I for one suffered this when using ANY EVO kernel. Now just to get BT working and its nearly perfect!
[HD2 Android SD Development] CavemanXXL:
Great job buddy! Worked flawlessly! No more "speak slowly and NOT loudly please" comments from the people i call... :) I had VBN as Winmo so no robo voice...

i have the exact same problem weird noise and echo coming in the other end and people complaining they don't hear !! (not robo voice)

but there is no "firmware" folder all i got is "PPP" folder and a file named "AudioBTID"

i already searched the forum for 2 days and couldn't find a solution ..

tried several radios and several WM Roms with no luck i updated the kernal to the Evo latest 9th OCT and it didn't fix the problem ..

please guide me to a solution ..
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
Try:

Update your su binary through superuser app settings TWICE.

Use rootexplorer app and search the filename (default.acdb)

What is your build BTW?

@D69K

Can you try this:

Open up terminal emulator and enter these commands:

su

chmod 777 /system

mount -o remount rw /system

and try to see with Astro file manaeger if you could now see the contents of /system/etc/firmware.

Hi,

I noticed that my phone having background noise issue after upgraded to the latest mdeejay desire Rom version 2.6, so I try to use the method suggested in this post to fix it but seems there are actually two default.acdb, one is in /system/etc/firmware while the other one is in /etc/firmware. I am wondering which one I should rename or I need to rename both?

I tried to rename the one in /system/etc/firmware but seems still got heavy background noise. I am with radio 2.15 also tried radio 2.14.

Thanks for help in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ctrlaltdel:
I finally deleted both default.acdb and it seems like the noise reduced a lot, thanks!

I just wondering what will be affectes by deleting these files?
[HD2 Android SD Development] piztol44pete:
this might be a dumb question and i apologize in advance but when i rename the file do i need to keep the extension or can i just rename it "pistolpete"
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
Any name or extension you want is fine. (even no extension)
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
That is why we "rename " the files just in case. (instead of deleting) :)

I have seen so far, there are only minor side effects, but generally no deal breakers. A new fixed default.acdb will definitely be developed in the future, I saw it being talked at irc.

Changing the WINMO rom gets rid of robo voice.

If you are in France or Netherlands, your build might be using the other default_france.acdb or default_nel.acdb. Try renaming them.
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
There is a new acdb file but it does not make difference for people who are not on nand. (meaning running android from sd card with haret)

So new acdb file should have the same effect as renaming default.acdb according to irclog:

Echo and robot voice cured

My wife and others were complaining about a bad echo and robot voice.

I have Energy Standard ROM on Radio 2.12.50.02 and Meejay FroyoSense 3.1. I am also on the 3 uk network.

I renamed default.acdb to start to renameddefault.acdb and rebooted. There were no difference. I noticed there were other files which had default.acdb in the name like default_france.acdb, default_nel.acdb, default_PMIC.acdb and default_VZW.acdb so I renamed all of these like the one above but still no joy.

The main problem which I had were echo during calls so I did as Memin1857 suggested and updated my SU Binary in SuperUser. If anyone is having difficulty doing this then in the main menu open SuperUser, then click on Settings then scroll down to the bottom and you will see Su binary v#.#.#-ef (replacing # with numbers). Press on it and if not up to date it will ask if you wish to update it. For this you will need data allowance with your network provider or use of WI-FI. Follow the on screen guide and it will let you know it is up to date. Reboot and check one more time and it now should tell you it is up to date. Try to call someone and you should now sound 100% better and no more echo.

This worked for me and I hope it works for others.
[HD2 Android SD Development] GavTheStoner:
The stock TmoUS 2.10 rom has no robo voice.

It was one of the first roms which was found to have no robo voice.

Interestingly... I dont see a default.acdb file in /system/etc/firmware only a default.acdb.bak

This is on phireMOD Nexus 1.3 + EVO git latest kernel
[HD2 Android SD Development] letama:
For the people with robotic voice after deleting/renaming default.acdb, could you test this:

- Upgrade to last kernel

- Rename or delete default.acdb in /etc/firmware (and /system/etc/firmware if you have it)

- Copy the attached htcleo.acdb to /etc/firmware (and /system/etc/firmware if you have it). Don't rename it, it should be named this way.

Let me know if it fixes it,

LeTama

[HD2 Android SD Development] R3dox:
I definitely have this problem and I tried to rename those files, but I'm apparently not allowed to. If I try using droid explorer, it just doesn't work (back to old name on refresh) and when using a file manager on the phone itself (linda file manager) I get a "failed". I'm rooted (TI backup etc work without issues) and superuser is running with newest binaries... am I missing something?

This on NexusHD2-FRG83 1.5 with Hastarin's R8 kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kcab87:
Linda File Manager doesn't have the superuser permissions to edit such files. I recommend using Root Explorer.

Thanks a lot, worked for me.

[HD2 Android SD Development] R3dox:
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it's still not working. ASTRO says "insufficient permissions" which seems much like what I get in Linda. Droid explorer doesn't give an error but it just doesn't change.

Anyway, I tried a terminal emulator to remount the system as rw (su, root permissions granted by superuser, then "mount -o rw, remount /system") and still no go on both ASTRO and via droid explorer.

Getting a bit annoying :(.

Edit:

Ok, apparently the remount command is just wrong. For some reason the first time I tried it just said nothing and it seemed ok but upon retrying I keep running into the "error" message that tells me about its correct usage which is supposely "mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t] type device directory". After searching quite a bit, I never see anyone mentioning the -t at all, except for something specific for rooting the Motorola Droid. The above command I tried before I said by many to be the correct one, yet it gives this error every time here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] QuiXilver:
Hey all,

I tried using Root Explorer to do this but after a reboot my changes are undone, i.e. renamed file is gone and default.acdb is back.

Fix not working

Hi.

I get alot of errors after renaming and reeboting. "System stop" and so on. So the renaming dosnt work for me.

Does anyone have any ide on have i can fix this for myself without renaming/deleting default.acdb?

Why isnt this solution implemented in kernel/build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] memin1857:
Search and find the new htcleo.acdb file and put it to the same folder.

At worst case you will only get robo voice on first call only. But it will get rid of system wait errors.

This is happening because conditions changed with new kernels.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pretorianbg:
No matter what i do i cant find folder "firmware" , root explorer cannot be launched ( force close ). I tried the terminal enties mentioned few pages back still cant see that folder with astro nor with es file manager.

Does this apply to noisy video capture as well.

When I capture video from winmo the noise level is fine. I get excellent videos with sound. However when I try capturing videos from my Android (MDJ Revolution HD 1.2) the video gets recorded with lots of background noise. I could barely here the voice of the speaker. Rather I hear a hiss voice for the entire video.

Does this fix help with that? BTW I do not have any RoboVoice issue for phone calls at least.

If you suffer from low volume while in call ("you" can't hear the remote party clearly)

you can try enabling disabling speaker (tap twice) while in a call

as a workaround.

This instantly makes the volume "you" hear much higher.

Hi guys,

I am also getting a lot of complaints about echoes, people are hearing themselves twice when on the phone with me.

I don't want to risk damaging files because my build is otherwise running rather well, so before trying this solution I want to ask:

Time to be a critic!!

The site is very slow!! - not good at all especially for us android lovers.

Design sucks!! - Look at some of the sites on the net and look at yours its like you took from a bunch of sources and made your site use some creativity.

Way to small. Get rid of your margins.

Search the net for some scripts that can help instead of creating your own static pages.

I can put together a site that would have a database of all roms created with extras for all devices and look clean at the same time. Next thing would be maybe get permission from the people who made those roms, themes, etc. before you starting putting them on your own site.

Dont take this personally take it as some very good feedback. I manage about 10 websites and when i started i thought it was cool to have flash intros and music then a bunch of images to show what is going on and even tried static content. blog scripts, cms scripts and others are your friend.
