[Q] Sultan kernel issues - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey all
I'm using the sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39590429) and cm10 nightlies.
I'm having 2 issues with the kernel and I'm wondering whether they can be sorted:
1. Once in a while the notification drawer will freeze and when I reboot the phone it resets my homescreen and some of my settings, this also happens when I try change the gorvenor or go into kernel tuner
2. Horrible sound distortion, the phone's volume was louder as stock and wasn't distorted at all. Is there a fix for this?
thanks in advance

For #1 there isn't much you can do... we need android1-7 to figure it out...
And if you look at the name of the kernel you flashed... the zip anyway... you'll see call volume test... and that should answer your second question...

thanks for the reply, but you'll notice it's about in call volume, not out the loudspeaker, sorry should've been more clear, it's the loudspeaker that's distorted

Specifically which version of the kernel are you using ?
Your link dumps you on page 67 of an 83 page thread so I'm unsure which version of the kernel your using.
Beta 14 ? 13 ? one of the stable builds ?

I'm running beta 14, I've had the distorted speaker with all the versions

I noticed better sound quality on b13 from the loud speaker. b14 jacked up all volumes in an attempt to up the call volume... so... you can always go back to 13. Android 1-7 said he was going to work on it this weekend so you can also just wait...
It is beta after all...

Thank you, noe I'm a bit curious who/what is android 1-7

Big Bug in the last kernel google play market crashes and the phone hanging in installed apps.
Battery out is the once reset for that ......
This make the device damage and bricked.
Best results work with standard CM 10 and his kernel .....

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

well if the rom didnt have working sound before its not going to give it to it now. so i guess it needs to be cm7
Can someone else confirm that this works on another GB incredible build???

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui
Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

I've been using this mod since I saw it on the portal the other day. (or twitter. I can't remember)
It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

[Q] Sound level on headset is very low [Xperia T]

Title says all, i am currently using the stock rom and the sound level on my headphones is terrible. When i was using cm 10 the sound level was almost double compared to the stock version. I tried changing the settings in the eq, didn't help anything. Tried different audio mods, didn't solve the problem either.
So someone please help this music junky out

There is definitely difference. Anything above these settings, makes sound broken at highest volume.

Volume not so amazing...

I've noticed between my One and my wife's One the audio is not so vibrant on my device... We are both on OMJ's Rom, I'm not sure if my phone was always with a lower audio or if it just happened to my phone later, gradually losing it's amazingness. I would like to know if there is a fix or a MOD for this substandard audio of mine. It's not terrible, but it's not as vibrant as my wife's and definitely not as loud as I would like.

Not sure of any mod currently but I did notice that once I flashed to viperROM ( or possibly before I just didn't notice) that my bottom speaker was louder than my top speaker but with the new update 1.29.651.10 base being added to his updated ROM both speakers are noticeably louder and are even as I believe sprint added a fix for it.

It isn't ROM or kernel dependent. It's a universal mod.
Just a shot in the dark.
Try turning Volume all the way down, then back up.
My Bluetooth Headset had Low Volume and this fixed it. I doubt this will fix it, but worth a shot.
There are so many layers of software on these devices that it can get messed up if it's passing delta volumes around vs absolute.

This mod is for Headphones only. I still recommend flashing it. However, please note that in the original 1.29 update, HTC lowered the volume as people were complaining. I mentioned this to viper, and with some files I supplied from the 1.28 RUU, he found the files, and made a flashable zip to increase the base sound. It isn't anything that will blow your ears off, but it certainly is noticeable. Just a sec as I seift through the thread for the link.
@OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241016&page=117 first post. viper figured it out almost immediately lol. Flash the PUREx soundmod thing first, as it contains the updated version of the 2 files found in vipers' zip. Afterward, flash vipers zip to install the 1.28 volume files.
EDIT UPDATE:
Actually, as of version 4.0 the pure sound mod thing includes the fix.
Even further update!: People are saying that 4.0 makes the quality better whilst decreasing the sound a bit, so to be safe, I would flash 4.0 then vipers zip.
I had a flaky audio issue last week. After a reboot, all was good again. In my case, I think Youmail was causing an issue for some reason. It was playing all audio as if I was on a call using the earpiece.

"- Where possible, arrange for the conversion of the songs (in background) below 256 kbps to 320kbps" lol thats the ugliest thing i've seen till now^^
If you really want to enhance audio quallity, buy good Headphones (no Beats or comparable) and use 10 Band EQ to tune the sound to what you like most.
Everything that's using Beats Audio is just messing up Audio Quality, its going to be far away from how it should sound, there are many reports in how beats audio works and how ugly it is, especially when using better Hifi-Headphones.
i flashed this and now sound quality is very good but volume is low ex. max vol on phone same as computer at 2/5 vol. normal? i think it were bit louder earlier. you feel same? Poweramp gain and direct sound made it better though.

thanks! I just flashed it and my music sounds a lot better, and indeed i dont have the noise anymore too.
I recommend you freezing it instead of uninstalling it straight.
To reinstall freezing is simpler too. Just defroze it and restart your phone.
However if you have uninstalled it you will need to reflash.

Make speakers louder

I've looked all over for a solution to make the speakers louder on 4.2.2 but no luck . When I got the phone it seamed loud but now I can't hear people when making calls in the car. I've tried beats off all different volumes and all the crap apps but still it's no louder than my note. I've read that HTC have lowered the volumes on 4.2.2 is there any way to get the volume back and make the speakers louder. Please don't respond by saying your phone is loud enough as mine isn't!!
Thanks
There is a zip to make it really loud again.

Both are correct. HTC has lowered the volume repeatedly in their upgraded firmwares. The man who said his is still loud is most likely still running old >1.26 FW.
Now, as of a way to raise these volumes im not quite sure how to do this through file editing (Maybe the zip in post #2 or #3 works, idk, if your in dire need, nandroid and flash it) BUT if youre up to flashing a kernel (assuming youre running 4.2.2 and are on sense) you can flash Tbaldens Performance Kernel (in Orig. Android Dev. section) and that will give you options to boost volumes on multiple fronts. I can confirm this works myself, as i use this feature actively and dont experience any crackling or popping. If you decide to download this kernel, youll need Trickstermod Kernel Control app from the Play Store to edit the values.
(Lol, seems like alot but i promise its not. Plus you get extra sweet features like USB Fastcharge, and Overclocking and all that jazz with the kernel. Its worth it)
