Nexus 5 Vibration - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway I can increase my vibration feedback ? I remember on my nexus 4 I can higher it through the franco kernel app

on the nexus 5 this is possible,too. the stocksettings of franco.kernel will increase the vibration intensity from "63" to "100". You can manually change it via the vibration amp setting in the kernel settings tab of fku
Press thanks if I helped

Which Android version do you use? On 4.4 it was a bit too weak but for me it's fixed with 4.4.2

sound quality?

I'm looking at buying a nexus 5,what is the sound quality like through some decent quality headphones?
thanks

The sound quality is very good, but the headphone amplifier is pretty weak. It can barely drive my Koss PortaPros, which are pretty efficient. I also have to turn the volume up much louder in my car, compared to my Galaxy Nexus or iPod.
Speaker is poor

This is the exact truth. Why the headphone amp is so weak in 2013 is a question I'd like answered since I usually get rid of a phone with weak output. Fortunately I still have my iPhone

he's a short sample I made with the Nexus 5, boosted +5 with faux kernel and comparing to the Nexus 7 2013. Sure it's always a bit hard to compare the sound over a video but still, maybe it help you

Does this work for earphones as well

I tried this mod on my Nexus 5 and it works AMAZING to boost the headphone volume. It is finally usable!
[MOD] Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the Nexus 5
I only did the mod for headphones as the mod that also boosted the speaker seemed to degrade the quality a bit, and I thought it sounded good enough as it was.

you have to flash a custom kernel that supports the boost which you can than adjust with apps like trickster mod.
2 kernel are capable so far, faux and elementalx. I would recommend elementalx because it has some extra options like sweep2wake and doubletap2wake and color calibration

This one is much easier and seem to work better on nexus 5.

It simply changes the max output setting to what the chip is capable of, instead of what google prefers.

Audio Bug Free cm12

Hi I was wondering if there was a cm12 rom that currently doesn't have the audio static bug? I have tried a lot of cm12 and aosp roms and I love them all, but I currently can't make them my daily driver because of the buzzing and audio static sound when I play music. Thanks

I've used LS and K900 L for some weeks now and no audio issues of static for me.

+1
The good news is that in the latest builds it got much better.
The bad news is, however, we'll have to wait (nobody knows how long) for cm team to sqash this bug completely.

So 100% free of that bug? or Most of the issue is gone?

our 3 opos do not have static issues. one on 38, one on 44s and one on k900 L. if i restore any of them to lower versions, still ok. sound is = to our 2 samsung s4's and g3
Temasek unofficial latest build. No issues whatsoever.
Not sure if the above people use bluetooth with their phones, but no, the music bug is still present - raise it up to 70% and it will max out to 140% with distorted audio quality and deafening audio levels.
I dropped back down to KK mainly due to features, but this has been a deal breaker for me.
Just tested LS and the problem is still there. Does anyone know what the problem is exactly?
AK at one point specified that it could be due to the CPU dropping to a single core. He said that in KK at least two cores were always online but with L, it went down to one core. A few people tested changing the CPU to at least two cores and the issue went away

Indeed, I don't have any static either through phone speakers or headphones. Can't try Bluetooth.
Running temasek unofficial cm12 v3.3 with AK kernel 068 now, give it a shot
Op, are you using Bluetooth headphones or wired?

This is not a hardware difference but a software issue. There's no possibility that some devices have problems with bluetooth playback beyond 70% and some do not.

I dont think one core is the problem. With my i9000 music was playing good without any problems at 100 MHz single core device.

Not for every device, just specifically for the OnePlus One.
So if I use ak kernel,what settings should I use to prevent this issue on cm12 ROM?

Exactly, but when there are roms that are bug free aren't there any workarounds yet? Ak kernel 70 on pa.alpha1 couldn't help.

Seems like a ROM problem over a kernel problem....and this could have several factors, possible drivers that worked on KK cannot run on Lollipop - not due to runtime differences but rather an overall difference in the OS.
I have the same problem with Temasek's 2.5.1 with stock kernel. Its very annoying and it comes on with screen off or screen on.
