ZT-180 Microphone Issue - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I want to use Skype on my Zenithink ePad, but the mic does not work( I've also tried to record something with other Apps.). So there seems to be a problem with the Firmware. Could anyone help me to fix this?

I remember the mic working with Talking Tom Cat, but can't test it because my pad is in China for repairs. That was also an earlier firmware though.

You should put a link to this thread on the Zenithink ZT-180 ipad device ROM development thread so people can find it easier (before/if it goes into obscurity, update/edit the following post there)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I was able to use Gmail Voice Recorder app on the 0804 ROM, but with ROMs after that one would only work for a few seconds before system stalled or FC error. Haven't tried with the 0929 or CB's though.

Tom Cat works with CB's Image but only for a little time. I dont know the difference between Tom and other apps requiring the microphone but are not properly working. Is there a logfile where I can figure this out?
PS: I'm sorry for my bad english

I'd be interesting in a working mic too.
So many usefull apps need this: Skype, Fring, Soundhound, Voice recorder, etc.
Can anyone explain where to start?
Some kernel driver that sould be written?

I think configuration of the ALSA Driver is not correct. If you look at the log (via adb catlog) during the boot process you will see that there are some errors that occur. Some of them refer to a control (or mixer - I forgot) named "AndroidCapture" but i dont know where it is defined (I only know asound.conf in /system/etc/ and as I understood sound should be working without this file). But there seems to be another problem: If one starts Tom Cat and it crashes after a few seconds, the log says that there is some problem with "obtainBuffer" (some other android phones have the problem too)

Can this mic problem be fixed from us or should we write to Zenithink about this?

If you think about how much better the Image of CB is, I'm not sure that Zenithink will fix it quicker or better than the people here will do. But writing to ZT cant be bad

I've found something on the web:
http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/issues/detail?id=10
I downloaded ALSA Driver files but I dont know where the file "AudioHardwareInterface.cpp" is (It's a file of the driver source code, isnt it ?). Anyone there who can tell me where to find this file and know how to fix the microphone issue with it?

Interesting.
The file can be used to compile a driver, but you will need to compile for ARM and with the proper options to get a working driver, which seems to be a bit problematic because of Zenthink not releasing the source.
Does anyone know a way to debug this problem?
Does anyone know how to compile drivers for the current kernel in 929?

So the mic is working on the 1030 ROM, but there is too much noise, anyway to fix that now?

Anyone know how to fix the noise in the mic?

i would like to use mic.
with fring and skype.
anyone has tried the latest rom with the mic?
is there any other rom apart the one 11.1.2010

Benefits of a upgrade

Hi all,
I've been checking this forum for a week or so now and the only thing I cant seem to find info on is...
What benefits do you get if you upgrade your Magician to the latest rom?
Does it get rid of the camera speckles and snow? Or do I still need to download that camera fix?
Does it enable me to use MP3s as ringtones? Or do I again need to download another file?
What other features do I get from upgrading? If any?
Thanks for your time.
Mr. E you can use MP3 as ringtones on all ROMS even if you have the very oldest, 1.01. Just copy the Mp3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder.
I did that but it didnt do anything. Is there some sort of special way of selecting the file for a ringtone?
Easy way to set mp3 as ringtone:
Click here
By the way, if you have no issues with your existing rom and you're happy with all aspects of your phone and it's running stable, then don't bother upgrading.
Sweet that looks like what I need.
As for the camera... I guess just download the camera fix.
From what your saying Jimmy-bish the rom updates dont give you anything worthwhile then?
If you have 1.11 or earlier rom, U may encounter the famous "bluetooth not found" problem. Is it worthwhile enough? :twisted:
Yeah, sometimes it comes down to the individual phone. Heaps of people complained about that bluetooth and GPRS issue with 1.11 rom. I had it once, so I kept the same rom as I had no problems with that and just upgraded the radio to 1.13. Problem solved.
If you notice bugs or errors on your phone, search the forums and if everyone says it's the rom version that's causing the problem then upgrade. If you aren't experiencing any problems and can't be bothered upgrading all the time, you aren't missing too much. Most of the time it's just bug fixes and slight improvements, which can often be found through the forum without having to upgrade (camera patches and improvements, extended rom applications etc).

Install the snowfix file and this will change all the relevant setting to do away with the speckles etc. Can't remember where I found this so can't give authors name.
Jim
I did download the new camera from here... not the snowfix. The camera didnt seem to change anything tho, so im guess I need this snowfix too?
Problem with me is that I always want to have the latest update... so more than likely I will install the new update onto my Magician anyways...
I put that MP3 ringtone fix on, thanks heaps for that. Is there anyway of using a MP3 when you get a SMS?
Snowfix is just a case of turning down sharpness and saturation etc, i think.
V
Question, anyone know how to make the MP3 ringtones louder? With my phone volume right up its still kinda quiet, if I play it through the Media Player it sounds at the same volume until I turn the media player volume up to 100%... thats about how loud I would like it.
Is it possible without having to up the volume on a PC based app?

That is exactly what it is, but its still better then the standard camera settings.
Does that phone alarm allow you to use MP3s as your SMS tone?
Mr E, yes it does!
Now I have seen somewhere, that someone had the same problem as I am having and that was the SD card is coming up as 128mg but its actually 256mg... someone had some sort of format program for the SD card... anyone have that? As my PC wants to format it as 128 when it clearly says on the card that its 256...
btw: you can use mp3 as rings without any other prog. just associate mp3-files with mediaplayer, copy desired file to windows/rings and choose it in the normal ringtone dialog. the built in volume slider (telephone one, not loudspeaker one) works for me, too.

HTC Camera 4.11 from Touch...

I found a thread somewhere on this but I can't find it now. Is anyone working on porting this to the Wizard. I have an installer and installed it but it come up with "Failed to initialize camera". I know the person who posted this was thinking of giving up on it. This would be the final polish on all the Touch conversions. Just wondering before I start digging around in my registry...

They moved it to the general section of the main forum. The post is dead because it appears to require a diffrent driver and the camera's on the wiz are having issues with getting the right quality setting or something like that. I have gotten it to load and install on wiz from cooking but cant use the single shot camera. It only works with the action deal and will not take full size.
Hmm...perhaps there's a way to combine the interface from 4.11 with the older camera driver. I'm not much of a coder, but it seems that if porting the formerly thought "impossible" TouchFlo was possible, than maybe this is too. I'm hoping to inspire someone much smarter than me to try and tackle this...
I am working on it now and should have it ready sometime next week.
That's awesome. I will be more than happy to beta test...
Hi guys I have got it working on my Prophet Touch rom and there is a oem package for it to located in this thread Here all that needs to be done is change the model name in the rgu file and it should work on Wizard.
In the OEM package did you mean to set the file name as .rgu not .rug?
Also where abouts is the Device ID setting your reffering to in the RGU?

that doesn't work i've tried, i think it's because wizard was a 1.3mp camera and original touch has like a 2.0mp so it fails to initialize or something

that could be the problem I didn't know that but if you change the picture setting within the reg or even maybe inport the regs from camera 3.3
I got it working slightly.
I replaced some of the drivers with the ones from my current camera app. The photo mode wouldnt work but it was happily running and the on screen controls were working nicely.
You probably know more about the camera drivers than me so maybe you would know which drivers to replace but I can confirm it ran although I used the cab method.

HTC Audio Manager trim feature not working

Has anyone else not been able to use the trim feature in HTC Audio Manager. I have tried numerous versions of this app, to no avail. The latest is at this link, which does not work for me either: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438&highlight=audio+trim. This would be a handy feature if it worked correctly. I have an HTC P4000 (Canadian TyTN). Is it just my phone or is there something wrong in the app? Help, anyone???
You probably are trying to use a non MP3 file. My files that are MP3's work fine. The WMA files the "trim" function is grayed out.
Hope that helps
Oh I use MediaMonkey to Sync so I can have it auto convert file format.

In Call Recording (ICR) is working on Raphael

Starting a new thread is always questionable but this is something quite new
and it seems that still many people don't know about ICR-breakthrough on HTC devices. As I know, the first working ICR on HTC was in some custom HD-ROM and smart people managed to extract necesary contents and built cabs from it. For those who want theory and more info - search HD and Diamond forum.
Something important: all the glory belongs to those who extracted parts from the HD-ROM and gave following files to us. I only put those files and my experiences with it together for Raphael owners.
I tried to get it working on my stock 1.9 ROM but no succes after so many attempts so it might seem it doesn't work on it - but I'm not sure. I always achieved only recording both sides via mic.
Now, when I flashed the elite-RC3 I tried few steps and it really works. It works the "inner-way", absollutely not via mic, recordings are clear and very good quality! Some steps are probably redundant but .. I made it this way and it works..
1. install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=145688&d=1231739428
(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3155880&postcount=87 )
2. extract this to windows directory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=145698&d=1231743323
(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3156069&postcount=91 )
3. soft reset
4. make a call and start recording when calling from dialer's menu - it won't work now,but do it
5. uninstall the cab from step nr. 1
6. soft reset
7. install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=145741&d=1231759945
(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3156859&postcount=10 )
8. soft reset ..and it should work
Why install and then uninstall? Maybe this is redundant but it seems it makes some needed changes to registry - but you can try it without it, I will NOT hard-reset my Raphael to figure out
Btw I had problems with Resco audio recorder, it didn't recognize end of the call and device crashed many times. Vito Audio notes touch works great.
EDIT:
step 0. for those who still can't see the record option in dialer: you can try one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3124498&postcount=76
Anyone who tries any method leave a comment here please (with ROM version you have) so the ROMs-developers can obtain this info and eventually add ICR to their new ROMs. Thanks
EDIT2:
------
ROM-specific sollutions based on your feedback:
-elite-RC3: install the latest update from elite-RC3 thread - that's all
-NATF 4.0 & 4.1: use method in post #29 (or #63 - with no dialer included = for 3rd party audio recorders only)
-RomeOS2 1.60.2: use method in post #37 or #89
-stock 1.93: use method in post #29
-2.01.415.3 WWE: use the first (multistep) method above
--still no luck for stock 1.90, NATF 4.2 and any CDMA-ROM
--results with other ROMs weren't reported (or maybe I overlooked them - let me know)
Very appetizing but a bit too experimental and scary. Anyone else tried this?
Will uninstallation restore stuff?
Let us know if anyone gets this to work on a ROM other than Elite-RC3.
interesting method and I think i know some of the reasons why it works, I may have an alternative but I want compare first. Thanks for sharing
The method i use is just install monx's cab and then go to the registry HKLM\Software\HTC\ICR\Recmicgain (don't know the exact title) delete it and soft reset.
Where is the audio saved?
I have a Titan lying around that I can try it on if you think it will work on that. If it's experimental, I'll wait to install it on my Touch Pro. It's not activated, but I can call *611 and record that conversation.
Okay, I did everything written above to the "T". It didn't work on the Titan (maybe it's different for the Touch Pro). I didn't run into any critical problems, it just didn't record. When I try to record, I noticed the audio from the call goes out, and comes back on when I stop recording. When I play the recording, I only hear the input from the mic. This is the case with the standard notes recorder, and with Vito Audio Notes.
If someone wants to try it on their Touch Pro, let us know if it works!
tried on my TP....didn't work for me. I have v5 of the slide to answer Touch HD phone pad. I know the post only shows v4, but I grabbed a copy before he pulled v5 and since it worked, i didn't bother to load v4. Maybe this is why I don't see a record option anywhere? Do I need v4.......do I need to load up vito notes? thanks ...

you should have ICR control panel in programs menu after installation. There you can configure recording format and if you want to save recordings to main memory or to storage card. But I recommend to use some other - autorecording app.
Important notice: some people reported that they have to run ICR from dialer once to enable recording in other apps. It's uncertain if this has to be done after each soft reset..
For those who want to try this with other ROM : you must install some other dialer, I didn't have the recording option in the original one. As I remember, I installed S2A dialer from somewhere and it had this option.

followed the above procedures again after installing v4 of the dialer posted above and I still don't see an option to record during a phone call. Do I have to click on note or something? Strange....
has anyone tried this on a CDMA TP?
no luck on Verizon raphael
I tired this on my Vierzon Touch Pro but I get the same results. The other side is faint because it's being recorded via the microphone and not internally. How do you get the phone to record the audio internally and not via the mic? I did everything the original poster said. I'm using the scrosler 3.0 ROM.
This worked for me. No problems yet. Although I might add, both times it recorded correctly. When you said to record it, it would not work, but do it anyways. It seemed to work for me. Thought I'd let everyone know.

It really looks like it's working only on some ROMs. Obviously some new components the elite-ROM developers used are required. Something from HD-ROM?
Anyway if someone next gets it to work please leave comment here with info which ROM & Radio you have.

Cello CT11632 Recovery Partition Needed

Hello,
To cut to the chase, I have a Cello CT11632 2 in 1 Windows 10 Tablet.
The idiot before me has deleted the complete recovery partition.. I’ve restored windows 10, found pretty much all the drivers apart from the damn touchscreen. Hardware ID following…
ACPI\VEN_MSSL&DEV_1680
ACPI\MSSL1680
*MSSL1680
I know what make etc the screen is, (kmdf hid minidriver for touch i2c device)
I have tried every single driver i can find for this touchscreen and nothing seems to work corrently.. Including having inverted touch (I touch in one place an it selects in a different area.)
Basiclly, i’m asking if anyone has a CT11632 that can either send me a copy of your recovery partition or possibly the complete driver pack.
Help me Obi-Wan, You’re my only hope!
Device drivers for Cello CT11632
I am having the same issue. The one I had was running Ubuntu but no WiFi / touch or audio
Managed to install Windows 10
Now I need drivers for
WiFi
Bluetooth
Touch
Which drivers you used for WiFi and Bluetooth ?
Try this..
Try this, it should provide all drivers apart from touchscreen. (It's the main problem I've had.)
Iobit Driver Booster.
You can pay for it or find a key online to allow actual updates.
I used this program and it found 98% of drivers.
Hope this helps.
