possible no-call-audio fix kernel, need testers! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

hey everyone
After much hard work I *think* i have developed a unified kernel for all 920 variants including F / I / S / K / P AND T
It *should* fix the no call-audio bug
Please PM me if you want to test it out i dont have a T variant so can only rely on you guys and gals

I don't think I have seen anyone on the 920T complain about no audio in a call. Could be I am blind and lucky that it hasn't happened to me.

This is an issue if you flash an international rom and make a call.
I would help but I am leaving for school right now

I just did a Forehead slap, I knew about that thanks for setting me straight.

Sent yah a pm. Got 920F rom already on my SD

PM sent.

thanks for the replies folks.
as this is beta testing please do not post any feedback in here, send it straight to me via PMs

does this mean we (tmobile gs6) users can flash international roms and use your kernel to make the rom work 100%?

That's the idea. T-Mobile users will lose volte and Wi-Fi calling though

this should also work on the W8 Canadian variant right?

Hopefully this can be implemented on the edge variant as well if it's fixed. I want to try other roms so bad.

thats what im testing with him now

I'll be willing to test it out, shoot me a PM and I'll do some digging tomorrow.

@g.lewarne, PMed you.

PMed

Just an update guys, still testing as of now it is broken still. hoping to make some leeway.

Thanks for the update. Would be nice to see it happen.

would love to see this when it is done and working, sad to say our limited access to roms at this point is stifled more so by not being able to get sound in calls when everything else within the rom seems to work fine with the int versions.

We've figured out exactly whats causing it. The question is can it be made universal. So far no. But we have some ideas still and another mind as well looking at it with us.

[Q] Wifi calling

Do we have any devs lurking around here willing to make a flashable.zip of the wifi calling feature for the TMO users as it will only work on their devices? I would like to run an aosp rom but really need this feature. Apps from the market just don't cut it

It requires a specific service. I'm t-mobile customer but I'm not using their simple choice plan. I can't use wifi calling either.

yea but its more work than most devs want to do. maybe if you paid someone to do it or figure it out yourself. but from what i heard its a lot of work and not worth the trouble for someone that doesnt use wifi calling

Thats why this thread is directed at the developers. So they could answer as to wether they were willing or not. Payment is always an option that is not above me. If I had the coding ability to do something like this, I would not be asking for help on here.

previously the wifi calling was done through an app that was active. Now it seems like wifi calling is enabled through a system setting which mean it must be built into the framework at this point. some have been able to take the additional framework stuff and add it into international roms and then port the settings.apk that has the toggle over as well. so not sure if this will ever come to aosp.

putting it like that, I can see it being an issue for aosp. I've still got my fingers crossed that someone will take it on

Introduction and Rom mod

Hello everyone, this is my first participation in this forum, and I hope I can make something useful to the community.
I've always used the knowledge from here and now it is time to give something back.
I've changed a rom to make it bootable from safestrap, but I can't post it on the developer section due to my beginner status here and I am also waiting a response from the modder of this rom to let me publish it.
This rom is very stable, and it is based on a Latin American 2.3.6 Android with some tweaks to work on the brazilian network. Until now I noticed a huge improvement on the battery life compared to the stock rom.
So, what I wanted to know is if anyone will be interested in this rom if I have the permission to post it.

The battery life improved a lot!
I just wanted to know if it is my choice of daily apps that make my phone painfully slow sometimes or if it this phone 'feature'.
I will post the rom asap, thanks!
As soon as you provide the files, I can start testing.
Good to know that someone is trying to give some afterlife to our phones.
Thanks!

a bit of both. so many factors involved in getting an answer to that question.
simply, you can uninstall all your extra apps, and see how quick it is.. and as you start to use an app, if the system is boggy or slows down you would know which app is the cause.. but many times it could also be if you have all your data and sync settings and location settings all running.. though this usually is more of a battery drainer than a system bottleneck..
a new app that seems to help out a bit with keeping your programs and other apps from slowing down your system while they are not needing to be running is
greenify.. has worked well for me on many of my devices..

I just tried to make a joke, making my lagginess a feature of the phone...
So, I tried to contact the developer of the rom and I didn't get the answer...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I don't have the privigele to share my mod because of the forum rules...
Just for the sake of making this topic useful, I found a rom that suits my needs: the second post have a link to it.

Steel Droid is one of the best ones.
I used it for quite a while, and the only con for it is that the video recording doesn't work.

Maybe its because its a brazilian version.

So, I got an answer of the developer and I haven't got his approval to share the mod.
He doesn't like to have his work messed by others, nevertheless I wouldn't post it if I couldn't get his approval...
Anyway, I can make a flashable zip to make the changes afterwards when I have some free time

I checked and Gomdolight is for Korean version (f340 I think), are you sure you can?
(in the thread of Gomdolight, 1 guy was successfully installed, but he said nothing different, hhope he did not mean about wifi)
Could you report your try here?
Thanks in advance
Yes, I did as well and came to the same conclusion as the Dev did regarding the post stating no real changes noticeable. I plan to pm that member later on to see if he has any more feedback/advice before I commit. From what I gather the more modded features involve Korean based apps and such so for a D950 user not to notice is not surprise. I should know more tomorrow evening weather or not it is effective or not. Would do it sooner but I need to stay connected today so..... I'll keep you posted.
For me, the wifi strength is important. The rom itself does not matter.
Anyway, waiting for your post
==== edit =====
I had some time to check Gomdolight. Actually it is not a ROM, but a Modifier (remove system apps)
I don't think they change something for wifi-driver, which I believe is the problem for the weak wifi.
but just let me know how it is improved with your Gflex
thanks

Hey,my apologies to all who were waiting on the results of my attempted flash of the Gomdolite firmware mod. I'm sorry to report that although it installed successfully( albiet in a limited capacity due to variant and build discrepancies), it did not resolve my wifi woes.I will continue running Gomdolite despite that fact. Off topic and my apologies in advance, but it has improved my devices overall speed and fluidity. Hope someone has a solution soon...Btw, since my D950 doesn't have to function as my primary phone as of yesterday, (returned to Samsung, Note4) I am willing to Guinea pig for the common good of finding a resolution to our issues.Let me know if you got anything to test.

HELP!!!Voice call and echo 😐😐😐

Guys I need help,when I made voice call people can hear echo when talk to me on phone,but I speak normal and everything is clear?Can anyone give advice?
Try turning the incall volume down a bit. I usually have the reverse issue and that squares things away. Might help for your issue as well.

Uhm.. If its so as you said; probably carrier or hardware issue. You better try(if not yet) another sim etc.
In case; the same issue occurs for me, and some users who uses T-Mobile based rom on their international variant devices. When in a call, I dont hear an echo but other people hear their voices again. Never mind sitriw, you knocked-out me No idea.

Same issue here, except it's with Salt Mobile here in Switzerland. My impression is that while in handsfree mode, the microphone picks the voice. Looks like a very cheap hardware that is not capable of delivering a proper user experience

Interesting S5 boot screen

I have some AT&T S5's that I have acquired and they seem to have a custom firmware of some kind. Possibly an unlocked bootloader? Just curious as to what I have. I have included a picture of the boot screen.
The bootloader's are unlocked!!!!!! I managed to flash twrp on it and it is working properly!
I noticed it says Modeeveloper under the download mode. Maybe there's a way to figure how these are unlocked.
I have about 40 of these. Devs pm me if interested.
I know somebody with the same problem, started the other day. BS the bootloader is unlocked.. Whatever it is, it has hijacked the phone to the point that it freezes on the boot animation and loops. Tell me, how do you come into 40+ devices with this issue and why are you trying to offload them as if they're something special?
