[GUIDE] How to improve mic quality on custom ROMs - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Guides, News, & Discussio

Have you noticed that the mic quality on custom ROMs are all absolutely horrible? The mic is too soft and just sounds bad overall. Well, I definitely did and I am pleased to say after some tinkering, I've found a solution.
The solution:
- Download the ASUS Sound Recorder app. You won't be able to install this on the Play Store as it will say that your device is incompatible. You have to go to a website that provides the APKs. Orrrrr... you can click on me to download a version that has been tested to work. By simply installing this app, your mic will sound much much better overall.

[HELP] Video camera issues with CM11

Hi,
I have an HTC Vivid running albinoman887's CM11 4/24/14 nightly, and the 4/26a PA GApps. Everything seems to run smoothly except for the fact that the latest Google Camera update force closes, so I cannot use that app at all to take pictures or shoot video. I haven't yet found a way to revert to the older version so on a side note if someone can point me to that APK I'd be greatly appreciative.
At any rate, other camera apps like A Better Camera and CameraMX do a great job of taking still photos, but neither one will invoke the video recording function. I have updated to the latest nightly of both CM11 and PA GApps, and the reason why I'm on the older versions is because the newer builds caused problems, so I clean flashed back to the older ones.
I downloaded a couple of diagnostic apps and neither one seems to indicate the presence of video recording function. I don't know if that's normal for those apps or if there's some damaged hardware involved. I don't want to go all the way back to stock to test that theory, so if anyone has had any similar problems or has some insight to offer, I'd really appreciate it. The lack of video recording is not a backbreaker for me, but it's one of those minor annoyances that I absolutely hate - kind of like a wart. TIA for any help you can offer.

Yeah, I had the same problem with video on the older nightlies. I am now on 5/7 build and video works great using any of several different cameras.

[Q] Viper4android tips

Hello
Looking to give an aosp based rom a try despite the poorer sound quality that is to be expected. Quite a few recommend Viper4Android from the Play store.
Can anyone recommend some optimal settings for this app to help boost the sound volume and quality, including what driver options to use when installing the app?
Many thanks.

For now if you wanna listen music just use MIUI ROM because for now, most custom rom have a bad sound bug if use headphones uses jack port. For Bluetooth i don't know tho, i never use a Bluetooth headphones before so i can't tell, but i think the bug will affect Bluetooth too.
There is a great sound mod called "Ainur Sauron"
Here is the link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516
You just have to flash it, no need to setup anything else
I don't think it is compatible with MIUI
So you can try flashing it on a custom ROM
I've been using it for a while now, and my audio output improved greatly.
Hope this helps

Are you on earphones when the volume lowers? If so, maybe the V4A setting called "auditory system protection" causes it. Also, disable notification sounds/enable silent mode while you are playing music, or change the Poweramp audio focus setting (Poweramp -> settings -> audio -> untick Short Audio Focus change)
I used to have the same problem as you, when I was using Xtreme music mod and Dolby Atmos.

Can i flash this over dolby atmos? I need louder sound quality especially for dialogues through speakers. Dolby is already doing a great job. Should this one do any improvement? Or should i uninstall dolby and flash this? Need louder sound on speakers

This mod is compatible with all other audio mods, but make a backup of your system in case anything goes wrong. Try flashing it over your Dolby
I tried flashing Ainur first then Dolby, the Dolby app crashed.

[Module][UNITY] FooView x Magisk - Internal/System Audio Recording Oreo/Pie

FooxMagisk Alpha[ v0.2.2/SIZE]​
×WHO:
FxM is aimed at Android users in search of an easy way to capture system or internal sounds (systemless-ly), and on Android versions past Lollipop. By installing my module users will no longer need to worry about background noise from their environment.
×WHAT:
FooView, an app by fvalpha, comes from the same dev behind ES File Explorer nearly a decade ago. Development is ongoing, but in essence, FV supplies the user with a range of controls outside of screen recording. Be sure to visit their thread.
×WHY:
Some time ago someone inquired about the possibility, which led us to trying other means before quitting. Recently I found FV and gave it a spin. Plus, others are frustrated by the absence of native recording on most devices. Whilst I've experimented with other techniques on Oreo & Pie, none come close.
×HOW:
The real reason you're here! First of all, in order use this module I strongly recommend Magisk 18+. It was used on 18, so can't guarantee the results on older versions. If there's demand, a test for 17 can be made.
×Prerequisites:
- Magisk 18+
- Grab fooView Play Store
- Download/Install FxM module from below
×Links
- All Releases
×Steps:
- Follow above
- Reboot after installing
- Check app info (foo can now be disabled, instead of uninstalled)
- Open foo -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> Dev Mode -> Enable "root for screenshots" -> Grant -> Enable "Record internal"
- Enable little MIC icon BEFORE recording
- Adjust media volume to < 40% (Volume bug on some devices)
×Credits:
- @fvalpha - Developer of fooView
- @topjohnwu - Magisk
- @ahrion - Unity Installer
- @Zackptg5 - Unity Installer
×Bugs
- Using high volume creates a tick sound on certain devices
- If Module is installed FIRST the app will crash constantly
×Revision History
v0.1a - Jan 18, 2019 - Initial Release (Unity v3.1 + 0.9.9.9)
v0.2.2a - Jan 21, 2019 - (Unity v3.2 + Perms fixed)
v0.2.3a - Jan 25, 2019 - (Removed unnecessary perms)
×Compatibility:
- LOS 15.1 (8.1)
- AICP 13 (8.1)
- AICP 14 (9.0)
×Devices:
- Le Pro 3
- Moto Z2
- Whyred
- Pocophone F1
Further testing is necessary to extend this list
×FAQ:
Q: Can I hear speaker audio whilst recording internal sounds?
A: No, not at this time. And likely never. It's a limitation in the API.
Q: Sound doesn't play when recording!
A: This is normal. Maybe simultaneous internal/external recording will be doable in Android Q.
Q: Fooview crashes!
A: This happens when Foo module is installed before the base app.
Q: Why is there no sound in my recording?
A: Turn on the microphone icon that's shown in fooview.
Q: Is root needed?
A: Yes!
Q: Watermark in videos?
A: This can be disabled in settings.

Did you follow all the steps? In foo there's a permission section, first 3 need to be enabled when installing the app. After rebooting only floating window is needed really.

Sound from the speaker stops whenever foo records. Make sure mic is enabled in the screen recorder, there's going to be a little mic icon. Like here:

No, because Android doesn't support system recording natively. You'd have to record your voice from another device and merge the waveforms. It's not possible to record MIC & system simultaneously, unless it's done on a Samsung or Xiaomi device.
This is meant for people that DON'T want sounds from their mic. Internal recording isn't possible without root after lollipop, and game audio from a microphone sounds awful.
Thanks! I am able to record internal audio, but unable to hear while recording:'(
My rom PE whyred
Is there any fix yet?
Thanks Dev

It's a limitation of the the app at this time (fooview), not the module. I don't know if the Dev will add that functionality in the future. There's another Android app that can record internal sound, I'm trying to create a module for it too.

With school it'll take time for me to get around to it.
Only some Xiaomi phones feature it natively. I've heard of it being available on older devices like the Note 4.
Sorry to ask this basic question. Where is best use of this module. Can this be used alongside screen video recorder so that WhatsApp video calls can be recorded.

1. It's meant to record system audio. My buddy needs that for games. I guess there are other uses like recording calls, but I never considered it.
2. I've never tried this on WhatsApp, nor any app like it. I don't know if WA even allows recorders.
It only needs to be installed, nothing else it required.
excellent thread and mind blowing work, this is what i have been searching for since a long time, it works great but only problem is i can't hear anything while recording internal sound, but it records internal sound. well it works though !

There seems to be no way to achieve this on any Android version after LP (internal + MIC). Samsung, Xiaomi, and LG feature native recording in their skins so it's a different story. For example, my sister's Stylo can do both on Nougat.
For unknown reasons Google doesn't want apps to contain this functionality (also true of call recording apps). It's odd since Apple's position is the complete opposite...

The microphone is there. It's needed for internal audio, the speaker won't output any sound.
I prefer this one for its ability to alter FPS (25 - 60).

[Q] Best soundmod for Xperia XZ1 compact?

Hello,
I want to ask which is the best sound mod for rooted with magisk Xperia XZ1 compact with android pie crDroid rom?
Due to the purchase of studio headphones, I need an amplified signal with a clear sound and clear bass boost. Maybe you can help me?
On my previous phone - Xperia Z2 tired:
-- dolby digital plus- It's just OK, louder, clearer sound but I got version without bass boost which is too less for me... (of you have dolby with bass boost, can you give me a link please its name is a bit different - dolby atmos )
--Sony music engine - it didn't work, but I remember from stock system, there was nice bass boost but without sound enhancement
--XTREMEMusic mod which gives you really nice options like 32bit, popular sound engines included in one but I have problem with launch equaliser UI. I couldn't find it anywhere I have written mail to Developer but I haven't been answered.
--viper4android unfortunately, I couldn't install it and it forced me to change selinux so I gave up.
Maybe you know some useful advices, or other soundmods.
Now I'm on CrDroid customRom with dolby digital plus, dloby atmos is incompatible. But I remember that stock system with enabled deeshx gives pretty good effect. Now I hear difference between old z2s dac and current. It's much louder especially with dolby. But still I'm searching for perfect and safe mod.
Hey!
Have you tried installing the viper4android app made by Team DeWitt? It can be found on xda labs. I was using a magisk module before, but always had problems. Then I found the app. It was easy to install and is working flawlessly. And there is no need to disable SeLinux for the app to be working. I am using it on LineageOS 15.1.
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx
Thank you, I'll try it
Oh yeah!
I successfully installed Viper on crDroid. It is much better than dolby digital plus on our XZ1. Definitely. Now I'm using it. Thank you very much elChorche, and of course devs of Viper.
Thread is still active . I encourage you to write here if you know something different or have any questions connected with topic best sound for xperia xz1 compact.
[you may ask why Dolby Digital Plus is worse than Viper4android? [/B]
Dolby Digital Plus:
Advantages:
-Simplified equaliser
-groups like movies music game and custom
-Louder
-Surround
Disadvantages:
-Too less options
-too less bass and no separated management
-works strange, sometimes louder sometimes just normal
V4a:
Advantages:
-Too many options
-Clear pure bass
-you can crate many groups in speared bt, headset and USB
-Many sound corrections
-not only one Surround
Disadvantages:
-You have to spend a while to learn how to use it
BTW:
What is the best set in your opinion? I tested a couple of options with my earphones and some bt devices sitting and listening with my friend.
