Hi All
Don't have enough posts to post in devolpment yet
I have been using Dlev's rom and like it a lot
I didn't really see anything wrong on my phone until I read about the music player glitch, and although I don't really use my phone for music , I have been able to reproduce the reboots. It bothers me knowing that it is a bug even though I don't use it, the edt lock screen delay fc's also but I that did not let that bother me but thought I would mention it.
Anyway, sorry about the novel but I tried the Google beta music player on the market and it works perfectly , even the lock screen music controls work and I have tried it in several different lock screens and no reboots
wanted to share
thanks Dlev and all the other developers for making these phones so usable
Loving Dlev's ROM 4.1
I really like Dlev's ROM 4.1 I am thinking of updating it to 5.0 which I seen in the thread just now... I really like the work done here, I want to do this kind of work It's so cool! I am impressed, pleased, and thankful! I will be donating very soon!

Before I ask my question, I just want to let everyone know that I have searched and searched and searched for the answer to this before posting. Please don't be a troll unless you have a link that helps me. There are thousands upon thousands of pages and unfortunately xda's search function leaves a lot to be desired.
Now, here is my setup:
emmc CM7
Kernel OC'd to 1.1 ghz
DSP equalizer enabled
MortPlayer Music
What I get is a fairly regular skip/pop whenever I play any song from my music collection (mp3/m4a, mostly). Sometimes it will go almost a whole song without skipping but very rarely. From my research I do know that this WAS an issue with CM7 pre-stable release, but now there seems to be no discussion about it. It's not listed in known issues as far as I can tell so I thought this issue was no longer, well, an issue.
Here's all the things I've tried to get the music to work.
1. I dropped the kernel down to 800 mhz, thinking it may be an issue of my Nook not handling the OC'd kernel. Same result.
2. Flashed back to CM7 stock kernel. Same result.
3. Changed music players (stock, Meridian, cubed). Same result.
4. Made sure the files were not corrupted by copying the files to my phone (EVO Shift) and playing them. They play perfectly on my phone.
5. Disabled DSP thinking perhaps I had the level set too high and it was peaking. Same result.
6. Moved music from external storage (sdcard) to internal storage (emmc/My Files/Music) thinking that my class 6 card wasn't being read properly. Seemed to fix it for the first song or two, then same result.
7. Flashed phiremod 4/13 version, which again, seemed to help at first, then I got the same result.
8. Added (then removed) Auto Killer Memory Optimizer thinking that perhaps memory was getting low while I was playing music. Removed it thinking that maybe it was constantly trying to kill the Music app. Same result with or without AKMO.
9. Disabled the keep home in memory option in CM Settings thinking it was straining the system. Same result.
10. Dropped performance settings in Launcher Pro thinking the same thing as #9. Same result.
11. Switched launchers. Cm Version ADW, ADW EX, LP, Launcher7, Zeam, the launcher I use makes absolutely no difference.
I'm sure I've tried a few other things that I can't think of, but that is about it. What bugs me about it is that even if I'm not doing anything else on it, i.e., I just let it set and play music, it still skips. Even if I'm not performing other tasks such as surfing the web or playing a game. The other strange thing is that youtube and even flash video in the browser work flawlessly, so I really don't understand what the problem could be. I do know that a while back when the video issues were being ironed out, DSP was broken, but I thought that was fixed by rc4. Flash would presumably take up WAY more resources than the music player, why don't I have any problems with it? Would it be a problem with the audio codecs for mp3/m4a?
I'm really stumped here guys. My hours of searching have proved fruitless, so hopefully someone will have the elusive link I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help I receive.
I have the same problem. Anyone found a solution for this?

Next nightly should mostly fix the problem.
Thank you dalingrin. I'll make sure to check it out. You and the other devs here are doing a great job. I'll be sure to donate the next time I get paid.

If you don't want to wait the DEV Kernel topic has a ALSA update as well as an experimental 4/13A kernel that together fix this problem. As well as give you quandrant scores close to 2500! =D
Sorry to ask this, but I've been poking around the forums here and over @ the CM site itself and I have not been able to find the thread with this kernel. Could some kind soul take pity on me and point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!
Yeah the 4/13a kernel was one of the things I tried but forgot to mention. Its a little better but the issue remains. I'll wait til the next nightly thanks for the input guys.
And you can find the 4/13a download in the test build folder linked in dalingrin's oc kernel thread.

Then you did not install it with the ALSA update...
Kernel Thread
4/13A Test Kernel
Alsa Update - This fixes your issue, even with stock kernel. But works best with 4/13A for extra performance.
Yes I missed that. Thank you sooo much!
EDIT: That fixed it. Again thanks. I hate when I miss something small like that.

Thanks for the fix! Just applied it and 4 songs in....the "snap, crackle, pop" is gone. Happy camper here. Also thanks to the OP for bringing this up in such a thorough way, surprised I had not heard of anyone else having this issue.
Dsp manager
I've noticed for a while now since Nightly 27ish, maybe prior, that my DSP manager doesnt work correctly. To modify the settings through my headset, I actually have to modify the Phone Speaker settings.
Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?
Not sure this is the correct thread, but any input would be helpful.
Hitting this again on CM-7.1.0-stable
First off, this is by far the best and most thorough description of the music playback problem that I keep running into, so kudos and thanks to the OP!
But sadly, I upgraded to CM-7.1.0 stable and this is still happening. I see the mention of installing dalingrin's update-alsa-041411.zip, but I can't find that anywhere.
I'm also surprised that this problem is still present in CM 7.1.0 stable. Does anyone know what the new solution for this problem is?
By an accident I entered one of the "latest threads ", took a quick look and found this amazing app . It provides the user experience and looks of the new sense lockscreen, and it works really good for me running Speedmachine :-D Just note that I've not made the app,just thought I should let you know. Ps: there's both a free and paid version.
Edit: Haha, found out that I don't even have to pay for the pro features. I just clicked the get free points button installed a few apps (which I of course uninstalled strait afterward ) and voila
Edit2: Link corrected
thank you so much for the tip. Can't wait to try it out as soon as TB finishes restoring my apps on Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1. This will look best with the Sense theme I use for GO Launcher EX.
Edit: works great and it's verry smooth.
I was wondering if you have the same issue as me with this lockscreen :
I put the phone in my pocket of my jeans and after let's say 1 or 2 hours when I get it out I find myself in a random sub-menu in Settings. Did you ever had this problem? I've disabled it and tried leaving the phone in my pocket for 1 hour with the rom's default lockscreen and it never happens. This weird thing happens again and again with Agile Lock. I've also disabled the pull-down notification bar.

Intresting I have been using it on my Sgs2 but didn't realise it would work on the hero as well..
I would suggest you also try 'LOCKBOT PRO It has so many different lock screens ranging from ( iphone, hero, SE etc etc ) you will like the variety
Thanks for the tip! I'll try it on Speedmachine too..

Well, I've been using this lockscreen on a pretty speedy and light rom. I guess that the lockscreen will be killed pretty often if you try it on a GB rom
Will try Lockbot soon
Btw. I've found a bug in the lockcreen, pressing the volumebuttons wakes the device, and with the heros volumbuttons, this means it wakes up all the time But I've sent a mail to the dev and he answered that they're working on it
i have installed Zipthemer but it cant work with me, i use an official ROM latest update i hav added some modules jit/pinchzoom/ etc... but the zipthemer when i want to add theme it show me "org.w3c.Element.getTextContent" pleaaaaseee help ((
nobody know this problem "org.w3c.Element.getTextContent" ???!!
Why are you still using Android 2.1??
Use 2.3 if you want a new thing with cool designs, or 2.2 when you just want something fast and stable.
i used and test all the roms..i don't like any one because of the slowly and every time i find a bug like compass in google map not working or video facebook not working or video working slowly also bugs of camera i'm really fed up of these strange problems , and know with 2.1 i feel cool and every thing works great and i added many modules like jit/pinch zoom/etc... no overlock and everything works fine ..sorry for my bad english
Zipthemer don't work on the se rom same as m,morph. You need a costing rom to use them sorry wee dude
super.sense on x8
The only thing I cant get to work is the facebook app, is there a work around? on the good side does not have a ring delay and appears to run smooth. Best Current ROM
ummm,,,if your facebook doesnt work you should post it in the zero development thread so matt,dastin and flash know first hand about it,,,that way if there is a problem with it they can fix it,,,and yes,,,it is an awesome rom...laater
The Facebook app isn't working for me or anyone else. Right now there's no fix and probably won't be any time soon as it's low priority. Shame because it's been a very solid rom but I like my Facebook
We do know of the problem. Its the very next thing I'm working on. So stay tuned.

Alrighty.
LONG LIVE THE HERO
I don't know if anybody else mentioned it but messaging is a little off... i'm not receiving all my the txts. I would say about 20% i missed when I had this roms because my friends called me saying y I haven't answered to the txts but in reality I never got em. But other than that this rom is very good!!! Good job devs
Interesting
I will attemp to replicate this only because I have not heard about it...
R1 Release
If I was a girl rom, I would be all over this zerohero rom,,,I was able to remove all system apps I did not require but found it made it slugish, so I used tools like rom toolbox and task managers to try and speed an already fast rom, it slowed it down again, I then started from scatch with a clean reinstall, again it was fast but as time went on it got slugish during sync, which was almost all the time, under accounts & sync there are a few hidden thing within gmail, facebook i did not need synced, I unchecked almost all options cause I only want facebook sense, gmail emails, and weather, it did make a difference, I would leave the rom as is, after all it is fast enough,
ive gotten use to having a non sense rom.
im not a social head so i don't need sense.
widgets and less resource usage are your friends for a snappy hero
Not everyone wants or likes the skinny of non sense based roms.
I myself just get bored sometimes and like to try what's new out there.
The Hero has been a versatile device and I've been amazed what devs have been throwing at it.
for someone who uses the phone on a day to day basis or in case of emergency, the lag and unresponsivness is a pain

So when is your build gonna come out? Like to see you put something out better than what we've done..... Oh that's right your not a developer. Before I even touched it, it would barely make a call let alone a text or MMS. Be grateful for what we have. Because soon here we won't have any updated Roms at all. Who are ya gonna put down then?
I've posted many options to speed that Rom up. If you choose to not use them and fill it up with apps, widgets, and all around crap, then it's your own fault.
I am a new member and I cant post reply to the development thread. So sorry that i have to post a new thread here.
@TheWhisp I have some comment about the ROM. It works well on everything. ever since i never met wifi tethering problem or white screen
But i two major problem with it. Most game like one of my favourite one 'Spartan Wars: Empire Of Honor' cant be played although i installed adobe flash player and i miss it so much guess theres a problem with the system.
Secondly is although official JB has no suport on flash player but i hope you make a builtin patch of flash player in it instead of us downloading it manually as it is so annoying bout cant play flash on browser.
thirdly, the built in messaging have problem downloading/ auto retrieving mms. i cant download pictures ppl sent to me. the operator just says i have a new mms and have to view it online in computer. however, last time the official GB rom mms works well. beside, i try installing third party sms apps like iphone messages (paid) or go sms pro but they work a while then after few moment or a day, they stop working. when i click on them, a black background just pop up and stay there forever instead of showing to apps interface. hope fix could be done.
Thank you a lot for all the help in developing JB for S6500... appreciate i hope i can continue give feedback bout problem related to the ROM... :3
