after noticing this mentioned in truckerglenn's port of f1, i did a little searching and found this great how-to thread (be sure to thank the OP!)...clearly written below the level of our beloved "devs" but along the lines of those, like me, who are new to the whole process and looking for a few guidelines while getting our hands dirty
i did both of these tweaks last night on ZEUS BUILD 3 FIXED (and updated), and as they mention in the original thread, increasing the sound increment works visually but audio levels become distorted above 15 (thanks samsung!)...maybe someone knows how to figure this one out
the scrolling tweak seems to work well (or i'm a sucker for placebos).....i've noticed that i can get to the bottom of very long lists and pages in fewer swipes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
for those that dont care to do it themselves but would love to give feedback...i've included my modded framework.jar from ZEUS BUILD 3 FIXED (and updated) to include the scrolling mod...if you're on that rom, just use root explorer like you should know how by now, and drop this baby in /system/framework
Reboot should take a little....dont panic!
and for those on ZEUS BUILD 3 FIXED (and updated) who just aren't sure...i've also included a cwm flashable zip with the stock framework
so now...whadya got to lose? o_0
hope it works!
EDIT: according to Dani, this should work on any att based GB ROM....so thanks for the tip!
Nice

the audio can be tough to find the best drive without clipping.
the distortion can come from many things but if it's clipping it can be damaging to the speaker or hardware. basically analogue audio should change voltage in smooth sinodal(sp?) patterns. if you exceed the input voltage on an amp it can't reproduce the wave and you get a partial sinodus with a flat (dc) area that creates heat in the speaker and extra current draw. it can also damage the input stage of the hardware. things are a little different on digital but you will still get nasty harmonics that can damage stuff. also too much gain can mean that the output stage reaches the source voltage before the top of the wave. the problem is getting the most out of the hardware and figuring which level is causeing the clipping.. there will be an ideal gain for each stage and the content will vary in volume.. its a big balancing act and manufacturers tend to leave a good amount of extra potential to avoid clipping at any stage. some extra may be added in the framework some in the kernel drivers but it either takes critical listening and trial and error or some edjucated guessing.
I don't know anything about drivers or kernels so I'm not that Guy but maybe if I try the framework mod I could find a compromise but I never really find that kind of time lately.

Thanks Dani for the input...just to clarify, by distortion I mean the audio maxs out at level 15, if you adjust higher than that, it seems as if audio drops to a lower level and increases to max again as you increase...say you made it so there were 30 increments as opposed to 15...its like this:
1min............15max 16min..............30max
I hope that makes sense...the OP concluded that it wasnt compatible w Samsung but im hoping someone w more pointed knowledge could work it....that would def be a plus in future roms

The posted links are for the zeus rom from dman, while the files posted may work on roms other than zeus I'd highly advise not using them.

for me anyway....
I couldn't sleep so I spent some time reading the galaxy s forums for fixes we could do to our Infuse's froyo that didn't involve flashing a different kernel, if you know if any more please post up.
FuguTweaks - I had been setting my own memory settings in "galaxy tuner" to leave about 100mb free of "EA" memory, this helped speed up the phone quite a bit and takes care of the "lag" we get when only about 60mb is free. I then found this FugyTweak and it seems even better. It only leaves me about 80mb free but much better than stock.
Browser Lag - I used the non mobile version of engadget to benchmark before and after, it does seem to stutter less.
CM6 mms.apk - I have never been a fan of the TW mms app, cm6 set to black theme works great!
I mentioned galaxy tuner earlier, you can get it in the market and the LCD color adjustments do work if you want to tune your screen, I haven't made it that far yet. I also haven't tried the 3d sound thing.
Please try everything at your own risk, I have no idea if any of this will eventually turn my/your phone into a flesh hunting screamer.
I would not recommend that browser lag fix for the Infuse. That was for a very specific problem that early Captivate Froyo builds had. Don't think the Infuse suffers from the problem that needed fixing there. I think I'm a good person to trust on that specific topic as well.
This post has to be the best one so far to ME! I did not know about the app galaxy tuner. I was able to make the screen look WHITE when I dim it all the way down. Before it was like egg white sort of color. Also the 3d sound and EQ worked perfectly!
Thanks OP!
Has anyone else been succefful in using the mms.apk? I've fixed permissions and everything but it will still only take me to the defualt screen where you see all your messages. When I click on a thread it goes black and does nothing.

There was an app I had on my Nook Color that was similar to Galaxy Tuner.. It was made for the Nexus One and it let you adjust the color of the LCD a bit. Does anyone know the name? I'm dying to use it on my Infuse!

Whoops, hit thanks instead of quote. This is what happens when I leave late for work and don't have my morning coffee
I believe the reason is the author requested it be pulled, he didn't like the implementation of it on the g2x. (I believe this is in part due to the fact that nvidia hasn't released source they need to make it work 100%)
I've found that voodoo on the g2x was a placebo at best. Sure, it made it louder, but the dynamic range seemed to lessen (especially on the high end) when using it. On devices that have it implemented properly, it's a beautiful audio engine, however.
(I could be wrong on this, it's second hand info at best, so feel free to correct me.)
Thanks for the info. Makes allot more sense now.

Well, you've made performance and user experience benchmarks on ROM's and kernels, as well as on governor-scheduler combinations.
So how about ROM-kernel combinations? I know most ROM's come bundled with their stock kernels that have been optimized to work best with the ROM, but we also have independent kernel devs who are really good in getting the most out of stock and custom kernels.
Also, with the number of possible ROM-kernel combinations, this may be monumental work, but maybe you can focus on real independent custom kernels, like say Matr1x, Franco, Trinity and Air (yes, Air, despite allegations of plagiarism), and if you have time, then maybe you can include stockish ones like _thalamus's and Pete's.
Just my suggestion, of course. I'm a big fan of your work for the community and I look forward to results of your tests.
Thank you and more power!

On a more serious note, i can't think of anything else to test. You've already done it all. That new buffer mod may have some merit to it (i did some light reading on it but not beyond one source), though unsure how you could objectively test that unless you're sitting on some expensive equipment.

**UPDATE 29 MAY**
CM7-RC3 and CM7 nightly 20120527 both work with the March 2012 baseband and have much higher outgoing volume! I'm not sure the issue I opened on the tracker had any part in this, but thanks to all who helped anyways! Your support was very much appreciated.
As CM7-based ROMs sync to the newer source, I am sure that they too will be fixed.
****************
I'm converting this thread into a Call to Arms! If you are frustrated with the low microphone volume on anything based on CM, please visit the thread on CM's issue tracker to leave your comments and "star" the issue. This is NOT an attempt to flood their thread with meaningless garbage. My intent is to let the CyanogenMod team know that this issue is very real and annoying. I think I can speak for most of us in saying that CM is a blessing to the Android world and that we mean no disrespect. My sole intent is to not let this issue get swept under the rug as it has in the past.
If you have a minute, please leave comments both here AND on the issue tracker to ensure this gets taken care of in due time. Please be respectful with your comments, but share your experience with the team in order to let them know that you are affected. Thank you all for your support with this issue.

Feel free to head over there and "star" it to get updates. I really hope they will help us out. Thanks for the support guys. Going to give them a little bit and see where it takes us.
*Update* Changed thread title for clarity. In the process of trying to unpack/edit/repack a kernel to increase the volume of the microphone. Lucky for me, it's mostly scripts.
Let me start this thread out by saying that I am not a developer, coder, github user, etc. Yes, I'm a noob when it comes to all things coding.
Alright. I searched and searched and searched some more for the commit on CyanogenMod's github. I found it.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/a042d3bba7dc7d563ef58dfd2b0811722d924f86
I *think* this is the patch that caused the low microphone volume since October of last year. It could be one of its parent patches, but it's related. This commit is also included in CM's ICS branch, which could be causing the low microphone volume issue that some of us have been experiencing for so long.
I went to edit that file so I could try to fuddle my way through a build (which I've never done before) but I couldn't find the actual file in the github. Was this file removed? Are input volumes adjusted somewhere else now? I'm spoiled by our developers and would love it if someone would try reverting this patch if it's possible. Anyone else feel the same?

Update! bassmadrigal from the CyanogenMod staff helped me locate the microphone volume values. They are in the /sys/devices/platform/star_wm8994/data file. Using an older CM7 (167) build, I was able to modify the volumes until the phone reboots. I tested the voice quality by calling my own voicemail since the volumes can be different while in a call.
Having done this, I flashed a newer CM9 build. The values at the specific registers in that file are indeed different on CM9, but I was unable to modify them. Any modifications to that file via root explorer or adb were ineffective. I even went so far as to delete the file completely, but it was regenerated within seconds. There is some kind of built-in security (either in Android 4.x itself or CM9) that prevents manipulation of this file, and others I'm sure.
Does anyone know of a way to manipulate this file?

Almost all of the old CM7 builds are still hosted here: http://goo.im/cm/p999/nightly but for some reason the 170's are missing. Haha...
I agree with you on it being the only thing I hate about CM7/9.
Anyway, another update for you guys. I found a guide on how to unpack the kernel and ramdisk from boot.img so I can modify this file, then repack it. Downloading Ubuntu now. Going to install it in a Virtual Machine and see if I can do this. Might take me a bit though. I'm a busy guy
Well, I was able to unpack the kernel and split it into the kernel and ramdisk. The ramdisk contains the "sys" directory, but it's empty. I can't find the file that I need to modify. Maybe it's in the kernel part of the split.
I would just like to say thank you.
And I wish I could help!

Record your self on a stock based rom or leave a voice mail its very noticeable, speaker phone is almost pointless while on cm7/9 you set the phone down 2 feet from your face and they can't hear you practically it sounds like you're whispering.

You're absolutely right mt3g, speakerphone is horrible. And I'm typically kind of a "chin talker" who lets the phone drift down away from the mouth. If I pay attention to holding the phone up further in front of my mouth and speak firmly, I can usually get heard alright on the other side, but I'm used to phones in the past picking up a lot better, and sometimes I need to speak softly if my kids are napping, etc.
FYI, this is my test environment (to eliminate variables):
Always call voicemail to perform the tests, because the input volume can change from just using a voice recorder app to actually in a call.
I play the same part of the same song at the same volume with my phone in the same position every time.
Just nandroiding back and forth between stock/early CM7/late CM7/CM9, there is a major difference.

If I'm not mistaken, custom kernels designed for CM7/9 are based on the original CM7/9 kernels. Regardless, I have personally verified this issue exists with faux's and morfic's kernels.
Ok, I understand this is not a release nor am I developer myself so if the powers to be choose to move this thread to general I understand. However, due to it's content, I think keeping this thread as close to the development enviroment as possible, is a great idea.
This is NOT the place to complain about development or a developer!
This IS the place to bring forth development ideas to the gifted and talented devs that make the GS3 so exciting.
This thread is simply a collection of data for developers to feed off of when looking for something new to bring to the GS3.
So lets get on with it!!
PLEASE READ!!!
1.Rom Options....Put your ideas here! Please do not pinpoint a specific rom you want something for. This is a general colection of ideas and not rom specific! Let the devs sort out these ideas and decide what they want in there roms. If you want something for a specific Rom then go to that thread!
2. Want something ported to the GS3? Share your idea and be as detailed as possible. Provide a link to the original development. What is the port, and what's it do if not obvious.
3. If you see something posted here that you find of interest, hit the thanks button to show the developers the demand for the idea!
3. EXPECTATIONS...
Don't expect anything! Expecting a dev to put forth your idea in a timely matter or even at all is not a good frame of mind to be in when posting in this thread. We all have our own ideas as of what is important and only have so much time in our lives to put into a device. Be patient and if it doesn't happen then it doesn't happen!
4. Do not call out to a specific developer to do your dirty work!! Example.. Do NOT say "So&so dev please do this for us!" Simply present your ideas in a general form.
Nuff said. Let the devs of the community know what would be great to see on your GS3!!

Don't kid yourself. This belongs in General. Unless you are releasing something yourself, it shouldn't be posted in here.
Well I tried...

@op read the rules of development. This has nothing to do with releasing a ROM, kernel or mod. If you want to talk bout that stuff, that's what general is for and where this thread is going to be.
id love a full AOSP working rom. Not CM10, not AOKP, but the full vanilla AOSP experience.

I'd like a full VRALE6 bootchain.
It might let us flash modified radios.

That would be superb, if we could flash modified radios that could solve a lot of the problems people are having with service.
I don't really know much about modified radios but how hard would it be to get the bootchain? Would it have to be leaked or is it something our devs could cook up? Also are there many phones that can have modified radios flashed, and what else would modified radios help? Sorry for all the questions, this just seems extremely useful and I would love to know more about it.

I'd LOOOOVE it if somebody could make a mod to link the headphones and speaker volume levels.
When I set the volume, I want it to stay at that level till I set it again. I don't want it jumping around whenever I plug or unplug headphones (or car aux)
I would love sgs3 to get official miui support.

I thought we already did. Beans is a member of the MIUI.us team. His build, Alpha 5, was on their site for our phones.... I don't know if the newer build, Beta 1, was ever put up on MIUI.us but I know Alpha 5 definitely was on their site. The only thing I don't completely understand is why the Beta 1 build was posted in the development section instead of Beans updating the thread in Original Development, the only reason I can come up with is because its a collaborative project between him, bleelas, PaulieVicious(I think that's his handle), and StrumerJohn so therefore it isn't officially MIUI.us anymore. I am with you though on wanting better MIUI support, I was so excited when I saw they all got together and started working on it. I really thought by now we would be on Beta 4 or 5 and have a DD by now, I guess the smali and ril hacks are just proving to be more stubborn than usual. I am very grateful that they got Beta 1 out and that they bent over backwards to get it working when they aren't getting paid for it, I just wish they would stop by the thread and give us some kind of updates and maybe saying that there is such and such problem and its taking a long time to fix. I left when Beta 1 was 2 weeks old and went to PA because notta was posting updates all the time, its been a while now and I'm beginning to wonder if my bad luck from breaking the mirror is killing off development on the ROMs I try to make my DD (before someone takes that out of context, it was a joke!).
I really miss MIUI and wish there was some updates going on tho!!!

Are you running TW or AOSP? I don't have that issue, my volume stays at a constant level no matter is if I plug headphones in or use my trucks aux. Also you could check under sound and see if you have the safe headset volume checked.

Either... I think JB might be the first time that it's actually been included in Android, but it's been a part of CM and many carrier ROMs since like gingerbread. It's default behavior that is not configurable... and it's a pain in my ass.
But as I'm thinking about it a little more, I'm going to amend my request...
EITHER:
- Merge the separate streams so that I have 1 and only 1 media volume (or at least enable this through a setting)
OR
- If they have to be separate, then actually give me the ability to set these volumes independently. Right now there are at least 2 (but probably 3 if A2DP has it's own) separate "media volume" streams but only 1 media volume setting.

It would have to leak from Samsung. Verizon does not have it.

That's what I was afraid of, are there many phones that it is leaked on and that can use the modified radios?
