[Q] Microphone using headset with custom ROMs - HTC Incredible S

There are numerous reports of headset mics not working with custom ROMs on the Inc S.
My hope is that we can have a focused thread to help deal with this issue. If your headset mic is working, could you please post your kernel and ROM? Most of the reports I have seen are CM7 related, but that's what I've been looking for, since that's what I run.
If there are any devs, I am hoping for suggestions. I have seen some comments suggesting that it is a custom driver issue. If so, can we look through the stock kernel, find the appropriate binary, and modify our kernels accordingly?

Audio boost

Hi everyone,
As most of you nexus one users know, when in a call the sound from the handset is not loud at all. I have to use the headset that came with the phone in order to listen to the other person on the line loud enough.
So I was wondering if there's a hack or a code that I can push or do via ADB or some other form that will boost the audio up a bit so I don't have trouble listening to people when in a call.
P.S. I'm pretty comfortable with my ROM and stock kernel so that's why I'm asking of another way other than a new rom or kernel.
same here. I've been looking all around for something, would really like a 91 ROM with audio boost but I haven't really found anything yet.
currently on Geo411m's.
If anyone knows of a stockish 91 ROM with an audio built in please post.
i can hear on mine fine, but to answer your question im not aware of something you can modify, i think i remember seeing a mod that makes the audio from the music player louder though.
however when i am using sipdroid the audio is just a little bit too quiet and i dont think it uses the noise cancelling mic for some reason
Thanks for the reply guys.
But yes, I've been looking for this and all I could find is a tweaked Kernel but it has many other tweaks that i find unesessary for me, that's why i'm looking for the audio mod only.
I'll keep looking, if I find something I'll edit my first post.
I couldn't stand it anymore and loaded intersect's 2.6.34 with audio. so far no problems, which amazes me considering the problems I had with frf50 and this kernel.
The only way to do this is through a kernel patch.
IR's kernel and pershoots have them for sure. I think there's some others too.
AFAIK, nobody has patched a stock 91 kernel for the public yet, but maybe someone can.

[Q] Use normal headphones during a call??

Hello,
I really would like to use my "normal" headphones for making calls together with the internal mic. Everytime when I am listen to music and someone is calling me, I've to unplug the headphones...:-( Another example is: I've connected my samsung to my car via "aux-in" to listen to music over my loadspeaker in my car.
That would something like a hands-free system
So... I think/hope this is just a software problem and somebody here is able to manage this??
Thanks in advance!

I cant see anything about android development... We have a section for questions and answers! Please use the right sections!
if you want...
but I think we need developers to get this working...!?
there's already a thread about this. with an alternative hardware fix.

a fix that surely won't fix the problem with car Aux in, as the gain of the earphone mic is poor.
I think that doing a sw fix for the problem(listening through earphones, talking to the regular mic) will be appreciated by lots of people.
Sorry for posting in a wrong section...

But anyway... this hardware fix will not fix the problem in my car.
And I think a lot of other users wants to get this working? And thats the point why we need developers...
I think theoretically this should be possible..

Which hardware fix are you talking about ? Using an adapter like Nokia AD-54 works with any 3.5mm headphone or audio out (including auxiliary line of a card audio system).
Other option is to use an A2DP BT car kit or a BT clip (like this).
Ok thanks... if this is the only solution, I will try it
But I also would like to have a software solution ...someday

[Q] Looking for fixed mic audio routing mods

Hi,
I'm looking for a rom which has fixed mic audio routing for mic and earphones (with gingerdx the mic doesn't work after I unplug my earphones and I have to reboot)
-Which uses stock kernel (so that no need to do unlocking bootloading right?)
I understand that this isn't a common use, which is why most bug fixed lists don't include it, which is why I created this thread because I can't post in the dev forums yet.
Thank you for your help.
Your on the right section sweetie you dont have to post on the dev section. Maybe creating logcat and send it to b.jay or eagleeytom would help. If your shy you can send it to me and ill give you a hand to send it to proper persons
If you dont know how to do it the best way to learn is search, if still doesnt help you PM me ill spoon feed you

Sixaxis Controller

Sorry if this question has been asked before but I did some searching and was unable to find a straight answer anywhere and my question is a bit different.
Is there any hope for getting the Sixaxis PS3 Controller app working properly on any of the Android builds for the Touchpad. CM9 is the only thing it worked on as far as I can tell.
CM 10.1, 10.2, 11, as well as the offshoots, none of them connect to the controller. They connect to other bluetooth things I've tried, like keyboards and speakers, but no PS3 controller. Any other controllers work that I'm not aware of?
I've heard people saying something along the lines of there being an issue with the bluetooth stack on the newer ROMs, or that it is just a problem with the newer Androids in general. Though my phone, Galaxy S4, is running a 4.4.4 Slimkat build, with the 3.4 kernel, and it connects to the controller no problem.
I greatly appreciate all the Touchpad developers and all you guys have done to keep this thing alive, it's simply amazing. I'm just wondering if any of you have any idea as to why this aspect doesn't work and if it is even feasible to get it working? As it's a large factor in determining what ROM I will run on my Touchpad. I have no problem staying on CM9 if that's what it comes down to, but if we could somehow get it working on KitKat or Lollipop, that would be fantastic.
I'm willing to do whatever to help if someone is able to help me. I'm no developer but I'm very comfortable with a computer and with flashing ROMs and whatnot, as well as troubleshooting issues, so I'd be able to test some things out, take some logs of things, in order to help someone more literate in the development side of things see what is going on and where the problem may lie. I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing this would work, and I'll help to get it working in any way I can.
Thanks in advance, guys.

Active FM Radio?

Hello everyone,
I have been following progress on custom kernels and ROMs for a little bit now and I have a question. Firstly, I've wired up this tablet to be my radio in my car, but would like FM. One thing I've come to realize is that the chipset for this tablet is FM compatible. I've tried the Spirit FM app, but after it not working, and some more research, I found that it is not compatible with Mediatek sets (or if anyone got this working, tell me how please). I have recently rooted and installed a custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503668).
Is there any kernel out there that has activated the FM receiver in this? If this is already answered, I apologize for asking again, but I haven't been able to find anything.
Please help,
Randy
