[Bug Discussion] CM7 Mute/Unmute Bug :: 7/10

I want to squash this once and for all. It's pissing me off honestly.
As you may or may not know, my Phone.apk hack is exactly that -- a hack. It cannot be merged into the CM7 repository. However, there HAS to be a solution to the bug on a device (kernel) level.
I've been trying to squash it myself, but I CANNOT for the life of me reproduce it (I have had it before though).
This is where you come in.
Flash kernel_no_hacks.zip -- this zip contains a kernel that disables all hacks to try and fix the issue, and a Phone.apk from CM7 that does NOT contain my hack. This is to establish a "baseline" of sorts.
Test. Have someone call you, call yourself from Gtalk and see if you can reproduce the bug. If you can, move on. Otherwise, go drink a beer.
Flash latest below OR Flash kernel_hacked.zip -- this zip will flash ONLY a kernel that contains Atin's original hack, and another one he proposed to me.
Test again.
Report your results.
Please do not post in this thread if you don't have anything useful to add . Just want to keep it clean.
Update 7/10 - kernel #2
Trying out a couple more setting changes, please try kernel_2.zip, it's attached
Update 7/10 - kernel #3
System tries to set mute to off when a call is initiated, so I *tried* to set the kernel to mute the audio when initiated, this should happen before the call, and the call should actually unmute it when picked up... this kernel also contains the changes from #2
2 & 3 are fails, just had someone call and not be able to hear me on #3

Should/can we test this on MIUI?

Wife called me from her phone, bug there. Downloaded and flashed this kernel, wife called me, and bug still there
edit: on miui energy 3.1

I tried MIUI, and my mute button didn't even work on it lol. But yes, you should be able to (it will replace your phone.apk though).
bfranklin, you flashed the second, hacked kernel right? Do you have the voodoo app installed? Talk to me

yes flashed hacked kernel and yes have the free voodoo app

not sure if this is what did it or not but my wifi crashed and would go right back to "error" everytime I tried to turn it back on. Had to reflash rom to get if back...

I tried the unhacked kernel then the hacked one and I still get the "sounding far away or in a well" problem. I called the phone from a landline and another cell phone to try it out.

Gotcha. Going to go back and look at the kernel and see if I can't figure anything out

ill try it out, ty for ur help and devotion to this problem!
ill let u know the results

Updated with a new kernel for testing
edit: and another

So I take it that this mute/unmute issue is still rampant on the T959?

Trouble waking after rooting

Hi, I have rooted using Doomlord's method. But I have problems waking the note up from sleep. Upon pressing home/power button, the black screen displays random red/blue/green/white pixels appearing slowly until the entire screen is filled like in milkyway. I have to try repeatedly to get back to my widget locker screen. Anyone can help? Thank you.

I have never heard of your problem before, but it sounds like a cool effect.

Yeah it looks pretty cool. like the milky way. Haha I think it's just a problem with the set's display. I'm fine when on stock firmware and kernel. When I tried flashing franco kernel the problem recurred. Found a guy on franco.kernel's thread with the same issue.

Did you recently buy your SGN? I remember reading somewhere that it is due to the newer notes' kernel sources. I get the same issues too. So atm, I just stick with a rooted CF kernel.

Yes it's only a couple of weeks old someone with similar issues has rocket rom v22 and has no issues, so maybe you'd wanna try also.

Hi Guys,
mine is a few days old and has the exactly same problem with all not stock kernels. So do you think there will be a fix for this?

I really have no idea man. I hope there'd be a fix. I tried flashing rocket rom v22 and got bootloop. Not sure if i did it wrong or if it's the new kernel causing the problem reverted back to stock.

Hey, I have the same problem and after my research, our note from SG which I believe you recently bought too needs to use kernel 2.3.6.14 above. So suppose your rom is fitted with say a Franco kernel, what you can do is:
1. Flash the rom, then after which reboot and make sure it loads fine. Access back to recovery with VOL UP + MENU + POWER, flash a new kernel.
2. replace the kernel in the .zip of the rom and then flash it as normal.
Scared the **** out of me too, I thought I bricked my phone

Sir, @soham jambhekar. I have flash stock rom and still not work for my both problem, but before my headset jack going wrong, my phone has contact with water, but no problem with my phone, after I flash stock rom then flash cyanmobile x latest version my phone has wrong . And if I disassembly my phone, you can give a reference/any solution?

Oh! the water must have obviously caused the problem. Water causes these problems like bad or no display, no sound or vibration etc.
You will have to change some part of the hardware from the Samsung service centre

if you have any previous experience with opening a mobile, i'd suggest you to give it a try and open it up. Most of the problems will be fixed in most phones just by opening it and taking off all connections and putting it back properly. But make sure you remember which parts go where.
If you are brave enough to open it yourself, do it and clean it up.

Can you flash XXJVU (stock, 2.3.6) and check if vibration returns to normal?
If you go back to stock and it starts working then it was a Kernel problem, if it still doesn't work then it's a hardware problem and there is nothing that you can do.

Actually my friend, I return to the rom sitada above, and other 2 more original versions, but without success. I believe the problem may be the same board. But okay, it was a pleasure, if you somehow get back to normal, I'll post the result here. Hugs to all!

No, I tried looking for a how to or something on it, I might try some time, I don't know exactly what it entails.

Also nfc...

@superfes
Thanks for releasing unofficially CM12.1. I'm using it since yesterday and its working fine so far. However, I get settings fc sometimes and mostly on bootup.
Another issue is with camera focus on micro shots which makes the device force reboot. It was present in cm12 long ago but it was solved or vanished later. Now seems to be back on CM12.1
Of course without a log, we cannot figure out these issues so I will post it asap here.
Btw; thanks for including d2s feature in the kernel. I have been missing it for long on official CM ROMs.

Tested IR and its working fine, including recording. I'm using latest version of Smart IR Remote - AnyMote.
Best Regards

For some reason I wasn't able to receive calls. They said it rang once then went to voicemail. IR also wasn't working through peel but I never really use it. Other than that OMG the ROM! This is the only CM rom that doesn't have issues with my FFC on official CM it has a weird tint to it with every app

Everything works great other than the camera. Same issue as most here, using the camera most of the time results in a reboot of the phone.

Flashing the 2015-6-22 build right now! I'll update after it's been tested.
update: the camera seems to work fine, and doesn't cause reboots now. But I get random reboots just out of the blue. And that was happening before the update. But issues with the camera seem to be fixed. So that's awesome!

I'm gonna transition from official cm12 nightlies to this build. I am also gonna try the 20150602 cm 12.1 gapps build (located on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps) since this is a newer version..hope it works. will try to post any issues. If you don't hear from me, assume it is working great! Thanks for this build superfes.

OK loaded fine with newest version gapps, so far so good

I too confirm that force reboot in camera focus is now fixed. Thanks a lot.
However, wake features are no longer available. Looks like you have changed the kernel.
Can we use the kernel from the previous build of yours?

I was trying to fork this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/development/kernel-elite-kernels-t2961835
But I messed up a merge, I'm trying to get it back to working, as soon as the merge is stable I'll build it back in.
Until then you can just use the AOSP kernel there.

Ok but that kernel isn't updated from January and is a Android 5.0 kernel. Does it still work well on CM12.1?

btw, is it possible for you to update that kernel? adding new upstream changes or it isn't necessary?

That's what I was trying to do when I messed up the merge, I think the trouble is rather minor, just been busy at work.

Hi
I like this rom so far, but I was hoping to reinstall the Beats sound back. I downloaded the apk, but it says an error when I try to install. The music through the speakers sound rather tinny without it. Has anyone installed Beats or anything similar to improve the sound quality?
Thank you.

So I have been using this rom since the 25th as a daily driver, I actually have had only 1 random reboot (unlike on the cm12 rom I had previously where it would reboot almost every day) Camera seems to work flawless where some have reported that it reboots but is def fixed.
I am having one major issue where I get no service 90% of my day, and I only get an exclamation point next to my service bars. The only way to *sometimes* get it back is by going into my mobile network settings and toggling the preferred network type back and forth from global/CDMA + LTE/EvDo/EvDo only/CDMA w/o EvDo/GSM only (where GSM only was to force it out of the proper net type and back in so I could toggle it back to CDMA base right after) And sometimes that didnt even work. I would also toggle airplane mode on and off with similar results. It is quite frustrating. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I never updated my stock radio/kernel? Does anybody know a fix to this? GPS also isn't working (and hasn't been for over a year)
Other than that everything else is working great, best CM12+ rom out so far! Please, if anyone knows of a solution to my connection issues please share! Thanks!
