cm hammerhead no sound

Hello xda folks,
I have no sound whatsoever on my cyanogen N5, version 11-20140726-NIGHTLY. No sound preview during chosing ringtones, no alarm sound, no spotify, google music, apollo crashes seconds after trying to play local stored tracks. Weirdly enough only Pocket Casts and calling work fine.
Any solution to this? custom kernel? apps tweaking? anything?
removed pocket casts - no effect
factory reset - no effect
flashing same rom again - no effect

Try a CAF based kernel (or switch to another rom/nightly)

Try ElementalX (cm version) or Chaos or any other CAF based kernel.
Install UKM (Universal Kernel Manager) to tweak your kernel settings. You will understand the differences with custom kernels

not "flashing" glitches like "loading" them - its the glitches that are flashing on the screen - some kind of caleidoscopic pixelized ****. Maybe this could be bug in the kernel?

Same here. Just got my Nexus back from LG. Was on 7-5-2014 nightly which worked fine. Now stock works just fine, but neither the M8 stable or 8-01 nightly have sound. Mic doesnt seem to work either.

The 26th nightly had a sound bug. flash a newer one and it´ll be fixed. But sadly cm has many other bugs and hard lags while playing even the slightest demanding games like hill climb racing. I would recommend something else than cm at the time :cyclops::good:

You need a linux PC. A live DVD/USB stick would be enough. Then open terminal and type those 2 commands while you are in the second bootloader:

Lol nothing real noticeable or mind blowing, pretty sure it's just some tweaks under the hood and patches.
Mobile hotspot not working to good. Although I didn't factory reset after update, something I usually do cause things tend to not work right. Until I do can't say too much about it.

Does this have the latest radio from At&t?

Thanks a ton for this. Everything works great. Did a restore with TB and I'm back and running with no issues.

have to flash with twrp

The KS for posting this. When debloated, deiq'd and greenfield I find stock far smoother than the various variants derived from an international base.

Installed this ROM on my wife's new phone last night using Bump TWRP. Everything seems to work great which is what i want. Thanks.
Was concerned about the infamous overheating problem about this phone with simple video playback. Play video (not game) for a few hours and can barely feel the temperature difference. May be the problem is about video game but that is not my concern.

@1Cwulf: Care to elaborate on the "some tweaks" that you mention in the second post? I tried the international ROM, and it has a few lttle issues that is making me want to try back a proper D850 ROM.

Just something to help with lag and possibly improve battery life a bit.
Its not intended to be a full feature Rom (at least not atm), just something as close to stock without losing functionality.

[Q] N5 Marshmallow local audio so fast

I have N5 with latest Marshmallow updates (November 2015) rooted with ElementalX kernel installed. I have a very strange issue that while playing any local (not streaming) audio file, it plays with double or triple of its speed.
I used several apps to make sure it's not application based issue, the same occurs.
What could cause this? Any solutions?

Does the same thing happen with a stock kernel?

Viper4Android not woking

hello guys
im using a xperia z5 e6653 on MM 6.0.1 32.2.A.0.253 with open BL, stock firmware and kernel
i am trying to install viper audio mod without success. after flashing the last zip and installing the driver (busybox installed, of course) the driver status tells, that the driver is installed, working, using neon BUT the proccessing is disabled. none of the sound modifications are working.
can anyone tell me why?
thanks

anyone? am i the only one trying to install this mod on my device?

Try to disable sony soundenhancement or use viper4android compability mode.

Install SELinux and set it to permissive. A little bit of struggling with it and it will work.

Already tried the permissive mode also used a zip that disables any other mod (it should)
Gesendet von meinem E6653 mit Tapatalk

Well that's weird because it has always been working this way for me. Even right now. Just don't use the latest version of V4A since it doesn't work very well on our phones.

how exactly did you do it?

Install Viper + Drivers. Set kernel to permissive using SE Linux, that's all. I use Viper v2.3.4.0 (FX), Codename "Beautiful". This is the version that's working on our phones with Marshmallow.

Any one got this working in Nougat ? Please share which version its working as I tried a lot and was able to install but I get no sound when its processing.
Thanks

Back on Stock Nougat and very happy

After several weeks of battling terrible battery drain, lag and sluggish performance I am back on Stock Nougat, build number NPJS25.93-14-8. With moderate use, my battery is now averaging less than 2% per hour ( < 1% while sleeping), where on the custom ROM of choice it was running over 5% per hour, even while sleeping. I tried every trick and tweak I could find and Better Battery Stats didn't show anything that could account for the high drain. I even tried a different ROM to no avail. So I threw in the towel, returned to stock, and did the latest OTA updates. I am now running rooted with ElementalX kernel 1.04 and I couldn't be more pleases with the overall performance and battery life.
I am sure it was something I missed but I got tired of spending hours trying to get back to the original performance and battery life the custom ROM had several weeks ago. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

While ota updates.......i brought to twrp only.... instead of installing latest security update.......... manually tried to install update...bt i can't..... gets an error... didn't u faced such problems

None of STOCK ROM or OTA updates can be flashed/updated by TWRP, you need to be on stock recovery as well everything stock (unmodified system, boot and all).

I faced this problem too, but I fixed mostly of the battery drain tweaking the kernel with the ElementalX app to ~0,80/h. I had to set the little cores working like big cores do, because all little cores and one big were in use always; and applied LightingBlade profile.

In order to use the OTA path you have to be on stock recovery, boot and kernel, not on TWRP. Otherwise you get the error that you experienced.

I went that path but it didn't seem to help much. Besides, I am happy with this stock setup. It is much better than when I was on Marshmallow stock and went over to custom ROMs. I can do anything I want to do and install any app I desire to use. Good performance, great battery life, and customizable as much as I want. No need to be on custom.

Before you can root stock Nougat you must first unlock you bootloader, install TWRP then flash Elemental X kernel 1.04 from TWRP.

Instead of asking questions that have been answered numerous times (ad nauseam) you should try reading through the forums.

But don't do anything until you have read through the procedures and fully understand. Above all, make a backup of your system from TWRP before you do anything else.

Very true.
Also try LightningBlade tunables(v 1.2.3 ; the newer version does not work that well for me..).
Stock rom provides the best balance between Performance and Battery life.

If you're rooting on stock Nougat, you must have a custom kernel flashed (or used the temporary dm-verity disabler on the stock kernel) before you root. Else, without the mentioned modifications, you'll trip the anti-rooting protection built into the stock kernel, and you'll have bootloops unless you reflash your stock ROM as you experienced.
Easiest way, as per the guide is to:
Flash/boot TWRP.
Backup.
Flash ElementalX or vegito (any custom kernel will do, as these kernels do not have the anti-rooting protection).
Reboot to test.
Boot back to TWRP
Flash SuperSU v2.79 or newer, or magisk 13 or newer
Reboot.
You should be rooted, on stock, and if you've flashed magisk, Safetynet should be working It's working well on NPJS25.93-14-8 and it's stable. Granted, a few apps now seem to detect root/magisk (and fail to download/update from the Play Store, with an error 0), but nothing that a sideload from a legitimate source wouldn't solve...

Hi, sorry for ask, do you know where can i find the temporary dm-verity disabler?
I tried with a script named "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" (this works for the G5 Plus 'Potter') but i haven't had any success. Even i unpacked the stock boot.img and i tried to manually patch it, but i failed here too.
Honestly i would like to test the stock kernel, because i never used it, i am always attached to flashing EX to get root access. Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this will still work on later builds than the November/December 2016 builds, but here's the kernel with dm-verity disabled: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t-how-to-root-n-firmware-npj25-93-11-t3532556 Seems to cause bootloops though on the later builds however
Strictly speaking, I misspoke - it's not really a dm-verity disabler, more a stock kernel with dm-verity disabled. I think EX kernel is still the more stable and more reliable option. It would be nice to be able to root the stock kernel though...

I don't know if this will still work on later builds than the November/December 2016 builds, but here's the kernel with dm-verity disabled: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t-how-to-root-n-firmware-npj25-93-11-t3532556 Seems to cause bootloops though on the later builds however

Oh, i see, thanks for your response. I'll look into it to see how he did to by-pass the dm verity, and try to modify the last boot.img that we have.

I mentioned earlier in this thread about getting Error 0 whilst updating apps in Google Play. As it turns out, thanks to this tip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73552496&postcount=57 it appears to be an error with permissions on the /data/media partition.
I managed to fix it with osm0sis' script:
Download from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 the sdcard Fix Permissions script http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3761904&d=1464187934
You may wish to back up your data with TWRP or ensure you have your photos and videos somewhere safe prior to flashing this.
Reboot to TWRP and backup your device.
Flash the above script.zip in TWRP and wait for it to complete. (it should be fixing the permissions in /data/media)
Reboot and you should be able to download/update apps again from Google Play afterwards. You may have to uninstall the app and re-install the app if it keeps failing.
I've got this working on a XT1642 running June 2017 stock ROM, rooted with magisk 13.3 and apps including Snapchat and Google Chrome update without issue now.

Useful info, this happened to me a couple of days ago. I thought it was something related to the integrated Chrome WebView in conflict with the system WebView, because it only happened when i tried to update Chrome, or any of his variants (dev, beta, canary, etc). Thanks.
