[Q] rooted Nook Color sound issue

I am having the sound issue where sometimes I lose sound due to some unknown issue. In Linux I can usually restart the sound process by running
alsa-utils restart
A find on that does find an alsa folder as /system/usr/shared/alsa with shows the pcm file but whats the command in Android to try and restart it manually if there is no alsa-utils. I shouldn't have to reboot to get it restarted and it would be nice to create a shortcut to a script that would run when I lose sound.
I know some people have said it was a fault with some Nooks that needed returning, but I'm under the suspicion its something else causing it. Any suggestions?

It has been reported that 1.1.0 fixes the No sound after sleep issue.

Is there an autonooter for 1.1.0? I didn't think there was? Any update now would mess up my rooting of it. I'm also having intermittent reboots. Anyone seen that?

Are you on 1.01? If so, you might want to get ROM Manager from the market and install Clockwork recovery using Rom Manager. That way you have recovery if something goes south.
There is no current AutoNooter for 1.1. There are some ROM updates to rooted 1.1 but read the full thread so you know the problems if any before you try a 1.1 ROM.
If you don't want to update beyond 1.01 now use the SCRIPT solution to block the OTA altho reports say the OTA won't run on a rooted NC. Hope this helps.

So I took my Nook in to possible exchange it because some people said it was possibly a bad batch. I wiped it and went back to the stock image and when I took it in I was informed there were none ANYWHERE in the Phoenix valley. So something is definitely up. The person there said they are going to announce their own market! LAME! Give me a Froyo or Gingerbread update! Anyway the dude said I had to update to 1.1.0 to fix the problem and now I have to go down that rooting experience. <SIGH>

1.10 does indeed fix the audio problem.
However I have yet to find a rooted 1.10 image that has worked. Last time I tried (yesterday) gmail wouldn't work, market refused to download and my nook reported corruption and forced a erase & deregister / clear data upon itself...

[Q] Google play problem

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with Google play on cm-9-20120329-NIGHTLY build and other build. Some games/apps is downloadable, but most of it is not. It says something about the error in purchase, even though the app/game is free.
I've tried flashing different versions of gapps, wipe market data from setting or titanium backup, changing dpi, but none works.
I know that this problem has been discussed a lot, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me. Please help me, this problem is getting annoying...

Try flashing the 20120317 gapps, then flash the gapps fixer utility, it might help.
Good luck.

Google play crashes
Hi everybody.
I have a problem with running Google Play on my SGS. I did a flash to CM9-nightly and Semaphore kernel recently, but after installing Google Play/Market again, the application doesn't work. It just starts when I touch the icon and than returns to menu or desktop... no error or any message shown... just crashes immediately.
I would be very glad for any suggestion!

You are probably better off posting this in the SGS forum rather than for the HP Touchpad - there will be differences in the CM9 build.

I think you do. I tried it once in cwm and it failed, it could also have been a different issue but it works fine with the boot.img of the zip. Just keep in mind to store the zip on the internal storage before you flash the kernel and after wiping it.and that the recovery menu is very dim, you should avoid bright conditions.

Video or pictures
I would like to see how the cyanogenmod works on the Z3 Compact. Could you send me a video or some pictures?
Thanks!

I have still some problems with my bluetooth headset. The connection and the controlls works, but often i dont get sound.

My Bluetooth headset was acting up when i had the built in equalizer (AudioFx) turned on , try to turn it off and see if it helps.
I also installed viper4android instead which is way better.

Thanks, this worked for me

I've just installed with cyano recovery, everything was fine..
I want to report that somethimes the mic recorder loss some seconds while i'm using it..i've just updated now the nightly
need to test it again
anyway i'm really happy, the phone for me is now really faster than the stock rom.

Camera button
Anyone figure out how to remap the camera button yet?

So i'm kind of a noob here I guess but I thought to install this one would need to have their device rooted (like I had) and I have it on my device working perfectly, the only problem is the phone is telling me that it is not rooted and thus not letting me use titanium backup and greenify etc.

Is it just me, or is the Auto Updater not rebooting to recovery after downloading the cm-12-20150214-NIGHTLY-z3c -
I did extract and ABD'flashed the boot.img
And theres still an issue with the LED brightness and audio engine wakeup ( Sound seems dim at first, and sometimes notification audio is skipped, almost like it is in hibernation and cant always get out of it ) , cant seem to find it in the fixlog or changelog either

I just got cm12 setup on my galaxy tab 8.4, the only issue i notice thus far is that im finding it impossible to set a different wallpaper on my lockscreen from my gallery pics... If i want to use one of my personal backgrounds i have to use the same as my homescreen. The only way to change just the lockscreen background is to pick one from a theme i downloaded but that option sucks because i never use theme backgrounds... Anyone have a workaround or is that something well have to wait on in another nightly? I was able to do this easily in cm11, just had to go to lockscreen in settings and themes and i could pick it there

Go to Settings, Developer Options, then a few settings from the top you will see "Root access", click it and choose "Apps and ADB" or just "Apps only" (if you don't use ADB).
After root access is enabled you can install SuperSU from the Play Store (or just use the CM root access if you don't want SuperSU).....

Thanks that worked perfectly!
Another problem though (or else me just being silly and overlooking something simple) that when I boot to recovery it brings up the Cyanogenmod Recovery and there is no option to Backup my files. The only options I have are to wipe everything or reboot.

When you flash boot.img from the nightly .zip file you get the CM Recovery. You are correct in that there is no backup option. Use Titanium or some other app to back up your stuff. You can also use a different recovery but you may run into a different problem where the phone identifies itself as "aries" and won't flash the ROM. The CM Recovery takes care of that problem.

Anyone found a fix to the dim notification led issue? I think its related to the CM recovery. Anyone that can confirm this issue aswell?

I have a tab pro 8.4 running cm12 latest nightlies and i cant get adblock plus to work on it. Ive tried everything. It ran beautifully on cm 11 but on cm12 it FCs either right after u launch it or sometimes i can almost get done downloading the site block list. I have the wifi only version of the sm-t320 if that helps. Any ideas anyone? Either a way to fix it or an alternative app?

+1. Loving it but the notification LED is basically invisible compared to the stock ROM. Anyone know of a fix for this?

A couple of issues I've run into is sometimes bluetooth audio gets sped-up so my music sounds like it is playing a 2x speed (Google play music) and I'm unable to activate any accessibility services (I can get into the cancel or ok screen but can't click ok). Anybody else have these or know a workaround?

Bein Sport app refuses to work with my rooted Z3C

Hi everyone!
I have a rooted Z3C and it is a fantastic phone, I love it. The problem is that I bought a television sport service that includes the possibility to watch games on your phone, it's called Bein Sport. This app is able to detect root and refuse to play any videos so the service I bought becomes kind of useless
The worst part is that I don't want to mess around, just want to watch games on my phone and use the service for what it was thought. Si I thought i'd give a shout here, has anyone been able to bypass that annoying feature? I don't even understand why they don't like rooted phone
thanks!

There is an Xposed module for masking root on your phone, not sure if it will work or not. There is another Xposed app that offers help as well.
Installing Xposed can sometimes be tricky, make sure you find the right arm zip or you could be facing bootloops.
The place to start if you want to go down that road is here

Hey Steve, thanks for answering. I am willing to try your solution so I read the page you showed me to install Xposed. I downloaded the last version of the ARM (note arm64, or x86), should I boot into recovery and flash it now? I reaaally don't want to mess up and have to reinstall it all! Is the Z3C part of the phones that have problems with Xposed? cheers!

I use Xposed, it's very popular and works fine on the Z3c. I think the emphasis is to read about it before you do it, as many people rush in, go to downloads, install the one with the latest build number and then come crying to the forum about bootloops.
The fact that you have read ahead on the page before you did anything assures me that you won't mess it up :good:
If it reassures you, I am using xposed-v80-sdk22-arm.zip on a 5.1.1. build. But there are more recent versions out now, although I don't know what the advantages of using those are. Perhaps later versions cover the use of MM. Can anybody enlighten me on that?
Edit: Once you have flashed the installer in recovery, restart the phone and then install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
With that installed and running you can find the modules and install them.
Each install or change of settings requires a restart.

I am unable to flash the xposed.zip in recovery (Philz). It says "failed to set up expected mounts for install". I have tried on internal SD, external SD and even USB... any idea?

Check you have root, install SuperSU and make sure it's up to date

Yep, installed, up do date, and some apps even use my root without any issues

If anyone comes here, here is what happened to me: I tried to install Xposed to try this trick but my phone would'nt falsh because it couldn't mount /system. I assumed that it was a problem with partitions. I tried deleting root manually but the app always found root even when I wasn't rooted anymore (beware, this app is pretty smart). I ended up having to go back to stock which sucks because the battery is really bad in comparison, but anyway I can watch football! Cheers

[Rant -- sorry] SystemUI has stopped happens way too often...

Since Magisk 11 released and even now with 12, rebooting feels like a roll of the dice between flashing something or installing a module. I don't have any real development experience, but had tried building a module or two and troubleshooting another in the past few weeks, which resulted in eventually booting to the error SystemUI has stopped... This has happened several times in a day even. Now today, I push the April security update, install Magisk 12, and slowly start piecing my setup together 1 by one to make sure everything works properly. Then suddenly another SystemUI has stopped error... Only way to fix it is to restore from TWRP or factory reset. A timely process. Flashing zips in TWRP in the past hasn't resulted in this for me ever... That's going back to the Donut days on my Samsung Moment, LG Optimus, HTC One M7, and now my Nexus 6. I really want to love Magisk, but its very frustrating to get so far then to have to restore and start again.
Is it something I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to resolve this when it occurs? Is there a way to avoid this error? Is this even a Magisk issue and the fact it hasn't happened before is a matter of luck? I don't even know what's causing it...

Use MagiskMount to mount magisk.img to /magisk and delete the installed module

Yes, I do that. That's not even the problem. It's when I finally boot after installing something or removing a module, SystemUI stops and I can't do anything.

Hm... I did notice this issue a couple of times on my Nexus 6 as well. It did happen a few times when installing modules that weren't quite compatible or otherwise had issues (I was experimenting and it was never quite reproducible), but mainly when trying to do a TWRP backup or restore (completely reproducible, 100% of the times). I figured it was my device acting up and never really connected it with Magisk.
I'm going to do some further testing...

I concluded it's a module I was using. Actually, the module I tried writing myself. Stopped using, no more issues. Well, at least not yet.
