Rom - what to do? - General Questions and Answers

Hello. I wasn't sure where to write, so I wrote here. For the past few months, I was using MoonRom 4.2 on my Galaxy S Plus (i9001), but I wasn't really satisfied with this rom. GPS basicly wasn't working at all. Also some flash players weren't working well. Play/pause worked as it should, but when I tried to click, for example, in the middle of video, flash players (some of them only) stopped working. Few days ago I decided to flash my phone with open rom, 2.3.6 XXKQ1, but what really disgusted me (I already forgot about it, since I was using custom rom for months) was that ringtone is quiet for the first 2-3 seconds and whole phone is kinda quiet (music etc. too) comparing to custom roms. So i flashed it to BroodRom with same kernel as I used in MoonRom (SkyHigh 1.4 i guess), but now I'm kinda disappointed too. I didn't test GPS, but I HOPE it will work nice and smooth. The thing is, when some1 calls me or send text message, first I can see the screen and the vibrations, then, after 1-2 seconds, ringtone/sms ring starts. Also in music player, when one track ends, there's kinda huge (few seconds) pause between it and next song.
I don't know what to do. Every Rom I used was bad in some case. I tried CM9 4.0, but I didn't like it. So I'd like to find stable, "everything-working" gingerbread rom. Is there any way to change the "upper bar(?)" (I'm not really into naming),growing ringtone and the whole phone volume in 2.3.6 XXQK1?
Please recommend me something, because I'm really lost.
Offtopic: If my english is bad (I think it might be) please judge it, so I could do better in the future ^^.

Any1?

I've already checked it. But it contains only data, and I'd like ppl opinion. Opinion of someone who tried few roms and can fit it with my expectations.

Is there any way to "repair" this pause in BroodRom? Probably it happened only to me, so maybe only some files can be replaced to fix the problem?

Possible bug in all JVB ROMs - GPS lockup with media playback

I've seen this bug on various versions of Mikey's GR ROM, Cezar's Continuum 5 and Team Phoenix's Mosaic. Here's what happens.
I'll be driving with media playback over the headphones (just one ear, perfectly legal). Doesn't seem to matter what, but the media in question is on the SD card. I know it's happened with local music in Amazon MP3 and with podcasts in BeyondPod.
While the media is playing, I have Google Navigation running on my Captivate in a dashboard mount. It's also plugged into external power. Google Nav has voice prompts installed, but muted so they don't talk over the media playback.
All of the above worked just fine with every Froyo build I used, as well as CM7 and MIUI.
With JVB ROMs, the navigation works fine for a while, maybe 5-10 minutes. But at some point, the navigation completely freezes, with the map no longer moving, the ETA no longer updating, and even the system time in the status bar frozen. Media no longer responds to headphone or on-screen controls, but continues to play for a while longer. Eventually (maybe 20-25 minutes into the trip), it starts to skip and stutter, and then a minute or two later the phone reboots.
I haven't done any development in years, and haven't even looked at the JVB source, but this seems like some kind of memory overrun. Like I said, I can reproduce this on just about any JVB ROM.

Works perfectly for me, I don't use headphones but use an aux cable to connect it to my car stereo, so I think it is the same thing. Used it for over an hour yesterday.
What modem are you using? The JK4 that comes with the ROMs?

How exactly is this development?
Bug troubleshooting and fixing. If this is reproducible across multiple ROMs/modems, we're going to need a fix. That fix has to come from a developer. I used to be a professional developer myself, and was a well-known WM chef back in the day, so I'm not some n00b off the street. I would appreciate the courtesy of being able to raise a potential issue and discuss it.
Smart developers welcome outside voices and opinions. Insular communities foster group think.
Thread moved to general.
Well, so much for that idea. *looks up how to flash CM7 with the new bootloaders*
I have experienced this same behavoir multiple time since moving to the JVB based GR-12 ROM. Most often the phone is in the Car Dock, however it has also happened once using the headphone jack (not docked).
I had not considered that this might be common to all JVB based ROMs. If that is the case, maybe it has been addressed in JVH. I hope so...I use audio and nav together constantly.
Moved to Mosaic III this morning. Same conflict between music and GPS.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I also had this problem using my tracks on my walk yesterday morning. It would lock and begin tracking, but would freeze up on me and lose the GPS fix with the music player running. I am running GR-12 with KC1 modem.
Think its the talon kernal. I switched to xcaliburs and problem went away...
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
I've only run xcal's kernel, still have the problem.

My sound's gone mad!

Hey everyone,
wasn't sure if this was a ROM specific glitch so posting it here. Basically, I use Reaper 2.1 and it's incredible. But recently it's gone a bit strange.
I had audiobooks on my phone, and last week it started playing them instead of message notifications (I use Mortplayer for them, and it didn't run when this happened). I had to delete the audiobooks to make it stop. But then, it didn't play any sounds, nor was there any vibration.
The phone doesn't seem capable of saving my sound settings at all. I change them all, and the next time I get a notification it's silent, or plays a sound I've never heard! (a random one from the list)
I stuck it on vibrate when I was waiting for a call, and lo and behold it didn't vibrate.
It's really weird and I just can't think what would have caused it. Any ideas before I full wipe and reinstall Reaper or a fancy new ICS ROM? Forgot to backup earlier, it was all going too well!

Try Titanium Backup from the Android market (now Google Play). Not only does it backup apps, it restores data and settings. Works nearly always. Even across Android versions, say from ICS to GB or Froyo. And all these can be achieved with the free version.
On the flip side, a full wipe thereafter is recommended. You might want to try Primo-S (Sense 4.0 on ICS) for a fancy ROM

Do you have an SD partition? I think you have to have one for this ROM, didn't think to test without an SD partition. A2SD is baked in. It would be great if someone could confirm this, cuz I don't wanna delete my partition lol.

Well in SS the a2sd version will still boot with no partition but it will reboot upon installing a app.

If you guys have problems with a ROM: BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO GET SOLVED. It's not just my ROMs we are talking about, we can't help you if you are vague. And logcats are the most helpful thing if you have a problem that is not in the OP. We are here to help but you have to help us to help you.

Well put, I used to hate someone saying this is broke and leaving it at that. Because 75% of the time its user specific or created so its hard for us to track down what happened. The standard for reporting bugs should be
The security type of phone eg s-on/s-off
Wipe process( most important part of flashing)
If the md5 was checked and matched. If anything else was restored in recovery or flashed with the ROM. But that's my opinion

Yes definitely. The more relevant information provided, the easier to diagnose the issue. Then formulate a solution.

Thanks so much for this, much different than the stock GingerBread I just replaced.
I've only been using Android about 6 months and was running a rooted stock kernel and dodgekernel, but I have to say this build feels much quicker and looks much slicker and has a very nice kernel built in.
I don't know if I was just behind the times or what but is that really just a skin/look change on the Play Store? It's extremely different and very nice looking to what I was using before (and about 10x faster).
I did run in to a couple issues, that are probably just user issues.
I've reinstalled all the apps I was used to but noticed that starting up a navigation, or music file or inputting an address doesn't bring up the prompt I'm used to of "Which application should we open this with". In fact I cannot find where any default tasks can be assigned anywhere. Whenever I go to manage applications, "Launch by default" always says "No defaults set." for every single application.
Another oddity that I think is related to this, when I hit the 'action'/'smart' button my bluetooth it just goes 'dut-dut' and does nothing.
I'm pretty sure Voice Commands is installed, but it won't come up and now I've installed My MotoSpeak and that will not respond either, and I think this is because I cannot choose that button as a task and nothing is set up by default.
Thanks for the help and the nice build.
EDIT: I just noticed that the CM10 roms says that "BT call audio." could be a problem. I know that is a whole different animal, but could that be an issue here as well? Its odd, my BT will play media music fine, but will not play phone/call audio correctly, just hear a buzzing.

There are ICS/JB themes you can download, but some of the theming is within the ROM. As for BT calling, I am only able to test BT by sending files, I no longer own a headset (My Planatronics took a ride in the washer).... Speed is what I shoot for on all my ROMs
Also... Did you restore data when you restored your apps? If you did, reflash and restore apps without data, it might fix your problem.

Absolutely agree :good: . A Fresh CLean install when first flashing a Rom will avoid a lot of issues. It may take more effort, and time. But it usually gives the best results.

I actually didn't know there was an option for that, how would you go about doing that for future reference?
Whenever I run a new rom I wipe data 3 times, cache and davlik and start fresh.
I don't use that many apps anyway, just some key ones every day for the drive, so only takes about a couple hours to get set back up and much of that time is just experiencing the new rom and finding what's different.
Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

If you are using Titanium Backup it restores app data by default, there are three options near the top of the screen when choosing apps to restore... Thanks for the input tho, it's something I don't really think about because I no longer have a BT headset. I'll have to look into it... Too fast? Lol there's no such thing.

[Q] clicking sound after music etc has been paused

hello everybody!
i have encountered a very wierd issue with my p3110. frequently, from the very moment i bought it as fas as i can remember (that was android 4.0.1 or something) it makes an unpleasant clicking sound in one of the channels in a couple of seconds after music or a game or a movie has been stopped.
in the headphones and its own speakers, in 1 channel at a time. no matter what the software player or game is, or the specs of the headphones as well. have changed 3 android versions - same thing happens. sometimes more sometimes less often, sometimes doesnt happen at all for a while - then click in one of the ears. even the volume or a kind of music have no influence on that. i have noticed calm new age music produces even more clicking.
as u can understand the guarantee is void and moreover the service center people will try to ignore the problem even if i restore the tablets initial condition.
so what can that be and can there be any software solution to the clicking? i have never had any problems with samsung products before...

i think u may be right. after i limit running processes to say 3 clicks become less frequent or may be it just seems so. now im thinking of removing custom firmware, cmw, root, etc and returning the device to the service center cuz i pause the music more than i actually listen to it. then there might be problems with the stupid service center staff.

[Q] All sound dropping out

Hey guys, I've been having this issue for weeks and it seems that it doesn't matter what ROM I'm on.
All sound will inexplicably drop out. I mean system sounds, the ringer, notifications, music, in-call, podcasts - everything. Nothing in particular seems to trigger it and sometimes it eventually just comes back on it's own. It seems that sometimes I can get it to come back on by turning the volume up and down repeatedly (may just be a coincidence though). This occurs multiple times a day.
I've tried numerous 4.3, 4.4, and even 4.2.2 sense ROMs, and it still occurs. Pretty annoying because what good is a phone that never rings or notifies you, and you can't even talk to people when you dial them.
I can't confirm this, but this may have all begun when I updated my hboot to 2.15 for the new 3.4 kernel based ROMs. Can't quite remember because it's been like this for quite awhile now.
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to post a logcat the next time it happens.

I'm currently using Dark Jelly S 28.1 (the last version with the 3.0 kernel). Seems to be a bit better. Anyone have any links or zips of other 3.0 based ROMs? The lionks in all the threads are dead. Guess they took down the zips when everyone started switching to 3.4 and 4.3/4.4.

Well I tried some other 3.0 roms thanks to some very helpful people in another thread I created http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48029123#post48029123 but I am still having sound issues.
I tried reflashing the 2.15 firmware and the sound was back until I received a call. After I hung up, I lost all sound.
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff, but I ran a logcat and noticed a view errors relating to sound (SoundPool: error creating audio track, Audiotrack: could not get audio output for stream type 1, AudioPolicyManagerALSA: getDeviceForStrategy() speaker device not found for STRATEGY_SONIFICATION, etc). Not sure what this means or how I can go about fixing it. Looking at running an RUU to see if that will help but I'm on Linux so it's a bit more complicated than just running the .exe and I'll have to reroot anyways so hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. Attached is a log showing the errors.
I am having the exact same problem with my HTC one S. For no apparant reason all sounds stop (speaker, music, notifications, can't make or recieve phone calls)
My problem started when I was running stock software. It got so bad that I had no choice but to S-OFF, Root and install a custom rom to see if that solved the problem. I currently am running MaximusHD and I love it. But the problem is back.
After searching throught the logs there seem to be two main errors "failed to enable the mixer controls for the speaker" and "AudioPolicyManagerBase(261)".
Does anyone have any idea of how i can disable or reinstall the service that is tied to this?
Bump... I also seem to having this problem. I'm running stock rom, rooted. S-On.
Randomly, my audio stops working. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes not. Sometimes a hard reboot (holding power down) works, sometimes not. More often than not, rebooting to recovery, then booting sytem fixes it.
I know it's not hardware because during this occurrence, some software (e.g, google voice search) gives an error but runs fine when things are normal.
I tried looking at logcat (I'm new at this) but nothing jumped out. Would love some help getting to the bottom of the problem as it's really annoying to randomly not be able to answer calls.
So this problem is happening more and more to my phone. Since my post earlier this month, I've tried Stock rom, liberty rom, and CM11, and the no-audio problem happens randomly on all of them.
This is really frustrating, as it makes the phone unusable. I'm very close to giving up and just getting a different phone.
Interesting find... I removed Lookout Security, and this appears to have solved 80-90% of the problem.
