[Q] Viper4 and Oxygen OS? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I installed the new Oxygen OS like 2 days ago and its really nice so far (like battery life and so), but when trying to use Viper4Android (awesome EQ for those of you that don't know it) i have like a massive distortion of the sound
(headphones and speaker, Bluetooth i didn't try).
any one can confirm? or have an idea how to fix it?
The Oxygen OS is android 5.0.2 so it should work fine (it worked before) but now its not.

[Q] Ongoing Bluetooth Headset outgoing voice quality issues - recommended ROM?

I am currently having outgoing voice quality issues while using a bluetooth headset (or in car/truck bluetooth) that I am trying to nail down with both HTC and Jawbone. I'm 90% sure at this point it's an HTC issue. I purchased an HTC One M8 on Verizon a week or so ago and immediately had issues with my Jawbone ERA. Voices sounded fine on my end but my voice on the other end sounded static-ey and overly loud - almost like the mic was too hot. I tried a ton of troubleshooting steps with both Jawbone and HTC and so far the issue remains. I also took the phone back and exchanged it for a new one and the new phone has the same issue. I've now tried 5 different bluetooth devices all with the same/similar result.
I found an old HTC One (M7 I think?) thread over on Android Central that seemed to be discussing the same issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/309574-anyone-else-having-bluetooth-headset-sound-quality-issues-one.html
but no solution was found and it sounds like most people there just sort of gave up.
Sorry for the long explanation but one thing I wanted to try was using a ROM with a different bluetooth stack or system to see if that might point me to an HTC software issue vs a strict hardware issue. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm fairly comfortable with installing ROMs though on my old Droid, Safestrap certainly made it easier for me.
Thanks!
I had a ridiculous static with my jaybirds so I just ended up returning the headphones and ditching Bluetooth sadly. I don't think a ROM will change it

So there's no difference in bluetooth implementations between a Sense based ROM and say an AOSP or CM based ROM?

Well, out of curiosity I s-off'd the phone, perma-rooted, and flashed TWRP. I installed the GPE ROM, the Viper ROM, and the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod. Interestingly, the CM rom seemed to have MUCH improved outgoing bluetooth voice quality. The other ROMs all had the same issue.
Does CM somehow use a different bluetooth stack or something that would cause this? Honestly, I'd stay on the CM but I actually like some of the HTC features (like the duo-camera) and not sure I'd want to give those things up. Would it somehow be possible to use CM's bluetooth solution in something like the GPE ROM or even stock?

I'm on CleanRom and I'm also extremely sensitive to Bluetooth quality issues. I'm using both a Plantronics Legend and the Bose ear pieces and I hook the device up to a Pioneer DEH-80PRS in my car. I have to say I've never had a better Bluetooth experience. No complaints - superb quality - both ends

I'm now also on CleanRom and it is definitely better. My few tests so far weren't quite as clear as my CM tests but MUCH better than stock. This seems so strange to me. This is just a stripped down Sense ROM, like others yet a significant difference in quality. Both Viper and GPE had the same bad quality as stock. I wish I had the understanding/capability to truly root cause the issue as I'd love to have the freedom to use whichever ROM I choose. However, I do very much like CleanRom for now - the Verizon bloat on this phone was the worst I've ever had yet I do like a few of the Sense 6 features.

Best umi z Rom ???

I dont know whats the best and newest stabel rom for the umi z. I found. Umi z lite, Noa MM and Nougat. Gemini. Or the Original ? Can anyone give a answer pls
I would love to know that too. I've seen a few ROM's that seem to be better than the Umi Z Stock Rom. However, with the 7.1.1 Lite ROM it's almost impossible to read the user experiences, because it's on a Russian platform, so I have to rely on the quality of Google Translate.
For me, I've experienced the following issues on the stock ROM (latest OTA of MM) ;
- sometimes the sound stops working (alarms, ringtone & music etc.) and I have to restart the device to make it work again.
- video's don't have the best quality
- the camera is barely usable on third party apps (Snapchat, Google Camera), because they cannot change the ISO values? (or so UMI says) Result: very dark video's / photo's
- the phone sometimes heats up to a point that I have to stop using it in order to let it cool down again. I don't know if this could be solved by software tho, maybe it's just a hardware problem...
- connectivity > in the supermarket / stores the connectivity is really bad. I have zero signal. With this, I also don't know if it's software/hardware.
- Bluetooth > Very short range before it starts to sound really bad
Did anyone have these problems too with the stock ROM and did the custom ROM worked for you to solve these problems? Also, what issues have occurred on the custom ROM? I would also like to know what ROM has the best battery performance.
I'm sorry for this long post, I just really want to find out, like Dobberman, what the best custom ROM is for this phone (cuz for me the stock ROM crashes / has a lot of problems)
Thanks in advance.

So I am as much as you. I've read all sorts of reports from users of all the roms out there. But I must confess that the best Rome is still the last floor nougat. On the nougat rom I then flash some tools like greenify and make build.prop settings. After that she runs real solid. The reception is not the best on the phone, but Build.prop tweaks can improve things a bit. So I actually received quite a good reception. In shops, he is not so great, but usually sufficient. Have now actually tested all available roms.

So you are now using the Umi stock Nougat ROM with tweaks? I've read a lot of problems about the Android 7.1.1 update on Umi Z (having to restart after flight mode etc).
Did you try any of the custom ROMS? What problems did occur to you when you tried them?
I've never done anything with build.prop settings, so I'm not quite sure if that would be an option for me..

I don´t have anything Problems whit the Stock Rom.
At the beginning I also had problems with the stock rom. But I could fix it by simply flashing all of Rome's releases with the flash tool via firmware upgrade without having to start the phone until I had installed them all after each other. (also the beta version) After that everything worked well for me. Only I do not get more than 4-5 hours of screen on time. No matter what I do, but that will simply be due to the processor ... you can not really adjust this. I tried everything.
The custom roms are just so that most have a very bad camera. The battery life is usually not much better than the normal Stock Rome. Otherwise, I have not been able to detect big bugs.
As long as we do not get source code, it will not change much, I think.
Edit: you can See my sot. I test whit amplifiy. Powernap ans other tools like xposedandroidtools. And also you can See the green signal all the time.

Based on what you said, I've decided to upgrade the ROM to Android 7.1.1. The performance / speed is a lot better on this ROM and thus far I have not experienced any lagg or apps that stopped working; which is a relieve. However, the quality of the camera seem to have dropped and there is a greenish tint on it. Also, on third party apps it is still too dark to make pictures / video's.
Are the mentioned tweaks the ones to fix these problems? Or did you install another camera? I've seen the Lenovo and HTC camera in other threads about the Umi Z. I hope you can help me

Great hehe. I can say thats not a camera APP Problem. You update the Software From the Start rom, whit the flash tool as Firmware upgrade. And you will See the Problem gone. I have this find out as i flashet the Rom back and forward many times and testet the Rom differents. From all original umi z Roms. DL all original umi z roms and flash it. Dont Start it. Finish The last flash and you can Start it.

What do you mean with " install all the ROMS?" Isn't it true that I only have to install the latest ROM (V7.01.20170711). Are you telling me that if you flash this ROM (instead of OTA), that the greenish tint in the camera and the dark camera in third party apps will be gone? I honestly don't understand how that could be possible. I've had the same issue with the dark camera in all the previous OTA versions. Only the green tint occurred in the 7.1.1 ROM

download all official roms and flash all with the flash tool from umidigi with firmware upgrade. Begin with the first version of the umi z cellphone. Until you arrived at the last version. then you can start the mobile phone. No cam probs more

Best KATKiss ROM?

What is the best KATKiss ROM? I'm using KatKiss-6.0_TF700T_029 and the Bluetooth get wonkey when playing Youtube Videos the audio will get out of Sync or the video will start to stutter after playing one video, also sometimes even when the Tablet is right next to the Bluetooth Speaker the audio will keep cutting and out. This does not happen on my Samsung Galaxy J7. I had 7.1 installed but did not like the fact that it does not have the Flashlight option like all other versions of Android have had since Kit Kat. Why did they remove the Flashlight function when that is something most people want and use?
The best Katkiss rom is the one that works for what you need it for. BT is wonky on MM and Nougat for this tablet, cannot remember if it still worked fine on KitKat but I believe it did, so try that. Otherwise your only choice would be to flash back to a stock based rom like CROMi-X. YouTube will probably work well on it, but everything else will be pretty slow compared to Tim's roms.... Your choice...
BTW, I have never used the flashlight. Ever. Didn't even notice it was missing. It's a mistake to assume that one feature you love is something universally needed

Hi, I missed why oreo or pie is not good for the guy you replied to?
I am installing 8.1 on my Nexus 5 as I type this. I have been out of scene for 2 years though so i am behind.
Thnx
I'm on los14.1 (latest nightly) and have been having issues with Bluetooth in general.
It was fine up to a few months ago, then I hopped over to DirtyUnicorns.
On DU, I was getting "Bluetooth has stopped" quite often, so I switched back to LOS14.1.
I'm still having issues, but not as bad.
I have a miband, mainly for notifications, but this loses connection and I stop getting my notifications.
Sometimes, the phone won't sleep, and betterybetterystats reports Bluetooth (under Kernal) as being the culprit.
Usually turning BT off and on sorts it for a while, other times it needs a reboot.
I'm starting to thing it's a hardware issue with the phone, (tried it with 3 different mibands, and 2 phones) is there anyway to test?

Quoting myself but, anyway....
Installed the latest factory image yesterday (2 years old!) and Bluetooth has been rock solid.
I wonder if the gapps version make any difference to BT (nano/pico/stock)?
If I recall correctly any ROM before Oreo Bluetooth will work correctly so find any nougat marshmallow ROM u like and run it

Yeah I have come across some bugs.. but I do not use BT calling or use Whatsapp and yeah the battery goes pretty quick but I need a new battery though. Mine is over 2 years old. I just ordered a new batter for my Nexus 5. I am going to try and stretch it out another year. I would like to get a Pixel XL but man they are too expensive... still!
I like Resurrection Remix Oreo (Android 8.1). The performance is pretty good. Faster than Kitkat 4.4.4 was. Hehehe

Xiaomi.EU compatibility in the United States

Is anyone using any version of Xiaomi.eu in the U.S.? I am on global stable 10.3.2.0 and want to try out Xiaomi.eu to try Android 10 and (hopefully) have working bluetooth codec support, but I'm a little nervous of trying out what is technically a China based ROM in the US when the global version works well. Does anyone have any experience with this? What version are you using?
Yes, it works very well, better than the AOSP roms. The Android 10 (weekly) rom has only one bug that I can find, when you boot (or reboot) the phone the microphone on calls doesn't work until you toggle between the speaker & earpiece and back. Once you've done that once it works fine until the next reboot.

Odd issue, but pretty insignificant. Thanks! I'm going to be switching from global to Xiaomi.eu (weekly) 9.12.12 tomorrow I'm pretty excited to try it out. Any advice for a first timer switching from global stable to xiaomi.eu weekly?

Yes, remove any security before starting, that way you should be able to avoid formatting /data/media if you run into difficulties. If you're on the Xiaomi stock rom though, you may have to format anyway. I did a Mi Mix 2S last week and it wouldn't boot until I formatted, which I assume means that stock must use a different FS. I also have problems restoring apps from Titanium, some won't restore for no apparent reason. I use Nova Launcher though, which makes it easy to restore them from the Play Store.

Yeah, it's about the best Android experience I've had. I thought the AOSP roms were good on this hardware, but this is even better. It's the reason I bought a Mix 2S for my gf for xmas, since it's essentially a Mix 3 without the slider and an LCD screen (alas!). Makes technical support so much easier if she's running the same software.....

Oh yeah I'm sure it is. I've been trying to decide what to update with recently because my bluetooth audio codecs weren't working and I'm sick of being stuck on SBC. I looked around at Evolution X, Resurrection Remix, and LineageOS but all them have some weird issues. I also have grown to really love MIUI. It gets a lot of hate but there are a lot of things I would miss if I switched to AOSP so I'm really happy MIUI 11 via Xiaomi.eu runs so well.

Have you checked in Developer Options?? It has a choice of 8 codecs. I don't know how that affects what the application uses, but it might be worth trying it.

Yeah I can see the different option in the Developer Options but when you select one it either doesn't change anything (when the headphones don't support it) or breaks the audio (happened when trying AAC which I know my headphones support, so something was wrong there). I have no way of testing anything other than SBC and AAC, but after flashing Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11.1 AAC is now working at least. So there was just some issue with MIUI 10.3.2.0 global stable
