CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
Now for the more specific stuff. Let me preface this entire thread by saying that I'm very much out on a limb here. I, as well as many others, have noticed that there are some fairly significant audio issues in CM stretching back to early CM11 builds for the M8. The general fix has always been "install v4a, and it'll work just fine". This isn't really a fix imho, it's a band-aid.
As such, I've created two repos: 4.20.x Sprint Stock, and 02/26 CM Unofficial (NOT NIGHTLY). I've uploaded the various parts that I think are going to be relevant in comparing the two code bases in the hopes that this problem can be tracked to its origin and finally fixed. The repos are on github as Stock and CM.
As far as the problems that have been noticed, it's good to remember that not all problems related to audio issues are what we're trying to address here. As an example, this is not a bluetooth thread, so bluetooth connectivity problems aren't going to be addressed even if it relates to phone calls or music playback. This is by no means a complete list and additional items should be listed as noted in posts. Some of the issues I feel that are actually related to audio problems are as such:
Distortion at loud volumes; speakers sound like crap when played loud, but not on stock or gpe
Improper playback channels; speakerphone volume level activating through phone channel rather than media channel
Sound dropouts during calls; caller can be heard but not hear M8 user (common with V4A Lolli installs)
Problem Submission: If you submit a problem to the list in your responses, please tag it as such;
PROBLEM_ITEM: [my problem description here].​This will allow me to easily search the thread and add additional known issues to the list. If you submit a problem but don't see it in the list, check Post #2 for reasoning as to why the problem wasn't initially added to the list.
Inside the Stock repo is a logcat that I took while performing operations during music playback. Specifically, I started the music playback via Poweramp, opened AudioFx from inside Poweramp, changed the EQ Preset various times,returned to Poweramp, and stopped the music. I'm hoping that starting with the logcat will lead somewhere..... as I mentioned, I'm waayyy out on a limb here.
As for my device, I'm running my own builds of CM12, no cherry-picks, SuperSu, CM kernel w/ no tweaks, NO V4A. Repo sync for this build includes Settings: reorganization merge on Feb 26, 2015 7:35 AM. Anything after is not in the current build, and therefore not in the CM repo.
ALL help is greatly appreciated, unconstructive / disrespectful comments are not. Here's to hoping this goes somewhere.

Saved for Info

It's most likely not possible to fix. Boomsound drivers are closed source. Unless HTC decides to make the drivers open source, then we probably won't be able to get sound fixed on cm.

Yea... that was a statement I made in another thread responding to one of those "Why can't CM fix the audio issues already" posts. I still think that there might be a channel problem, especially with the way that the speakerphone is operating. So far though, I've not found a direct reference to the boomsound drivers in digging through the stock sources.

I'm thinking it could be done through the kernel. But that's beyond my skill level.

probably not relevant , but all i got.lol. just found on beanstalk ROM. of course , i wouldnt know what to do with it. lmao.

no worries mrrocketdog. can you verify that you do not have audio issues on beanstalk rom? If so, think you can find mixer_paths.xml, audio_effects.xml, and audio_platform_info.xml and post links?
I found up that mixer_paths.xml is indeed used, unlike what some were saying in the other thread. and I'm starting there.

@Rescue9 , all i could find were these under system-lib-hw.

if there is some other folder to check just let me know. i think i went thru them all. (maybe just named different?). will also go thru my cm11 nightly and look for above mentioned files. also can confirm no audio distortion on it. ran for about 2 months.
here is cm11.

again , could not find exact files you requested , but uploaded everything with 'audio' in title.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

The discussion in this thread is great and definitely development related with an end goal as the rules say. However, since it's unofficial, we decided to move it to Development. Please PM me if you have questions or concerns.

@Rescue9, found maybe something else. beanstalk - system - media - soundimage.

Some possible Kernel help.
Not sure if this will help or not, but I'm running the CM12 based rom Resurrection Remix by: Brian Koluch
The Kernel he includes seems to fix a lot of the speaker distortion issues I was having with my M8. The Kernel is: B14CKB1RD v3.4.36 (g1069d49)
Here's his Google+ RR Community Post: https://plus.google.com/115522815889154627721/posts/d9BApKK8nbx
Maybe you guys can review that Kernel and see what's different, it has some audio commits in it.

nothing is imposible.

What about using v4a or using a volume limiter ??

Those are band-aid solutions. The goal is to fix the problem once and for all.

This is very informative! After playing around extensively with the config files in /etc/ I'm beginning to think that this is indeed a problem wholely related to the kernel. I remember using Quantum on my GS3 simply because the kernel fixed a number of issues.
Part of the problem that I'm facing is the fact that my M8 doesn't sound all that distorted on the high end. I feel as I'm trying to grease a squeaky wheel when I don't even hear the squeak.

I know that with the build I'm on now with the Kernel I mentioned, things are definitely more clean & clear on the speakers. I'm glad I can help a little bit.

Thanks @CJ-Wylde never knew this Brian guy built Roms for the m8. I see the kernel is a from wyldstallyn using blackbirds git.
OP maybe ask Brian on G+ if he can direct you to who built the kernel and ask them what they changed if anything that is maybe fixing the distortion

That's a good idea @krazie1. Would you take care of that for the team. I'm still working through lines of code looking for a connection.
I did install the blackbird kernel straight over the 02/28 CM12 build I'm running now and the speakers actually sounded worse. Very distorted at half volume. I didn't even want to increase the volume fie fear of damaging them.

come in due time. But hey, at least is boots up into the system ... LOL
This is an UNOFFICIAL build of SlimKat (although built from offical SlimRom source) and by NO means is this my ROM. I am just compiling from SlimRom Source and credits go to elelinux, xda-garwyn, albinoman and all other coders who contributed to CyanogenMod device tree.
Code:
For which devices. The ROM should work with all klte versions that are qualcomm
chipsets.
Included in the build are:
kltexx,kltelra,kltetmo,kltecan,klteatt,kltedv,klteub,klteacg,kltedcm,klte
(UNOFFICIALLY SUPPORTED): kltespr,kltevzw,klteusc

As of right now I have no way of testing NFC or IR Blaster, so I do not know if they are working on this build or not. Also on this build there is the infamous red box that appears when moving from screen to screen or app. I am going to fix that either today or tomorrow and then post the new build. The reason there is no data or cell reception is due to the APN list which will also be fixed in the next build.
I tested this on my T-Mobile G900T, so if others can please report back on their experience with this ROM on other devices that would be greatly appreciated and I will get those issues resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.

Slim minimal gapps.
1st edit: It's booting.
2nd edit: back key, home button and recent/menu key not working? Get NavBar. I like this!
3rd edit: Setting slow to response
4th edit: Stock camera has stopped. Google camera work but need to insert USB storage.
5th edit: Stock Music player not playing
6th edit: USB storage not mounted so can't test out audio/video but ringtone ringing at audio setting.
That's the issues at the moment besides of known issues. I guess i've to restore my backup now. Waiting for your new build thank you.
Ok. Thank you. I will get all of the issues fixed asap.
I'll try it tomorrow but I am also using a sm-g900t so I won't shed much light on the issues/bugs list cause its most likely to be the same as @lunerceli. Still going to flash thou, lol
Thanks for sharing your build with us.
Sent from my SM-G900T
I read your other post in the SlimRoms thread and I'd like to help a bit if I could. I'm going to flash this in the next hour after backing up my memory cards and then I'll grab you some logcats of crashing apps to save you some looking. I know enough to help, but not enough to debug so you aim me at the logs that help you and I'll get you as much as I can.
I run a SM-G900T as well so we will have similar errors. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I really like all the slim roms.
Working: (Mini Gapps)
- Booted and completed setup (hung on "Welcome..." for a bit, it got through)
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth/Stereo Bluetooth
- GPS (Took a minute, but did lock with "Device Only" setting chosen)
- Customization Options working (battery color, statusbar transparency, quick tile settings)
- Statusbar brightness slider
- Volume and power buttons
- Real Dark Slim (hangs for a few seconds, but it succeeds)
- Camera works with third party app (Camera ZoomFX) but crashes when taking photo since it can't save to storage (16MP!)
- Headphones (Music stops when unplugged; nice!)
- Music
- Keyboard
- Navigation Bar/Pie Controls
- Dialer
- Root Permissions (had to enable prompt in settings, but it works)
- Secure Lockscreen (Pin Number)
- Normal Apps (Browser, Calc, clock, Dialer, Hangouts, etc.)
Not Working:
- Hardware buttons (Back, Home, Menu/Recents) Tried to run a logcat here, but Android doesn't even see these other than vibration
- No Signal
- Storage (Internal and external can't be accessed) Startup Media Scan Pastebin
- Auto-brightness (Cannot be enabled) Auto-Brightness Log Pastebin
- Occasional Red Rectangle
-NFC (This, once turned on, cannot be turned off and the logcat feedback is about NFC every 7-10 seconds) NFC Feedback Pastebin
Not going to lie, this isn't far from being not only usable, but a daily driver. I'm going to see if I can pull a log later on for Auto-brightness failing and also for startup and maybe see why storage isn't being recognized and mounted. The file system sees both storage cards, /storage/sdcard0 and sdcard1 are both in the root explorer of android tuner, I just get permission denied when I try to access them.
Edit: Ran fix permissions scripts to see if it would mount the memory for me, and it did not. Also, adjusted media scan to prompt and it still didn't find anything. I'm going to try to pastebin you a log for each of the above failing. Got to work on a school assignment first though
Thank you for your feed back bro. I was on 24 hour duty last night and just spent like an hour to bring everything up and build it. I am going to work on it Friday night when I get off of work and hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be daily driveable and I can move to the next project.

There is no rush, I just wanted to get you some feedback putting things through its paces. I still intend to get you those log files if you find them helpful.
Get some sleep, this project will being be there tomorrow and thanks for tackling this for everyone in the community.
Edit: I put the logs I could get from my device in the last post next to the items in the list. Some things I couldn't pull, but you may know how. Also, and as I mentioned in the post, watching the Logcat scroll every 7-10 seconds I see the NFC log I pasted for you there. Not sure what is causing it, but NFC is toggling itself on and off.
Like I said, no rush on this I just wanted you to have it when you got around to working on it. Now it's my turn to get some sleep and if you need me to pull a log under a certain condition just quote me here and I'll get whatever you need. I'm looking forward to the next test build
Thank you for all of the info bro. I should have the next build up some time Saturday afternoon and almost everything should be fixed. Its been a while since I have done this so I am a little rusty. It is almost like riding a bike. Lol.
Build two is being compiled right now as we speak. I fixed a few things in the code so hopefully everything will work like it should. HAHAHAHA
Okay, so build two keeps stopping and ending in a segmentation fault for the framework.apk... I think I may have fixed it, but really don´t know .. LOL .. keeping the fingers crossed.

Awesome thanks for your work! I would gladly test it when it's finished. I came from the Skyrocket a week and a half ago so I am still getting used to the Galaxy S5, but I helped the OP there for SlimKat by testing and providing logs, so just let me know if there is anything I can help with.
Well, every time I get close to getting another build done something gets in the way. I lost my system and had to set it up again. Now whenever I sync the repo it keeps not finding some of the repo saying it can't connect. Lol

We appreciate that you keep on keeping on and that you keep us updated with this. Developing isn't easy, if it were we would all be making our own ROMs. Whenever you get this build out there will be testers around waiting to flash it to their devices. Me included
Sorry I haven´t posted anything in a couple of days, but I lost my system again and had to start from scratch. Some times I really have VM´s, but on my laptop I take everywhere It is too much of a pain in the ass to install Linux on the side or even straight up.
Just to update though, I am compiling the 2nd build right now and everything is going smoothly. I had to replace some of the Slim files with those from CM just to get past some build problems. I do believe that I have corrected most if not all of the not working. I am waiting for it to finish compiling and test it out before I release it to you guys. I will put up the download link regardless so that you fine ladies and gentlemen can test what and see what is going on in the development. The reason that I like to do this is so that the community can see active development and to compile the lists of what is and is not working with the ROM. I know it is a different approach to other developers, but this is just how I do it. Without you guys we as developers cannot do our jobs correctly and get a working daily driven ROM. Thank you for your support.
Mods please delete this thread. I am merging with another thread of the same topic. Thank you.
Will this rom work on G900FD as it has a qualcom chipset?

[ROM] [Project ] Pure AOSP 5.0.2_plus Google Updates (2/1/2015) Mako Beta

The idea behind this project is to compile a Pure AOSP ROM. The difference is I have been little by little including and testing new commits added to the for the most part unstable staging master branch code from Google AOSP that has not yet been tagged for a future Lollipop update., hence the reason for 5.0.2_Plus name. The only change added to the code that was not committed first by Google is that the ZIP can be flashed in TWRP without replacing TWRP with the Stock Recovery and that is it. At the moment because of limited testing as I do not own a Nexus 4 and all changes have been tested on the Nexus 5 felt untill a few return performance reports best to call this a beta version. With that said the same changes have made some improvments and fixed a few issues experienced by Nexus 5 users using the oficial 5.0.1 update or compiled from the AOSP android-5.0.2_r1 branch. So if start receiving comments that all has been well on the Mako build or see say 100 download without a complaint reported will remove the beta tag. I suspect this will be the case as the commits are not device related.
I honestly started the project for the Nexus 5 with the idea that maybe as a community a few developers could help work on the project so everyone had an updated version of the latest release version that included the latest fixes and had not intended on compiling for the Nexus 4. After my second release another XDA member had asked if it would be possible to make a Nexus 4 port for a friend. At that point as there had been little interest in the project by other Nexus 5 Developers I would post the Mako ota package I compiled for the user who had asked for one. I also have my own Starship Rom and am part of a new developer team so again was meant as a community project and not intended to be released as my Rom or really even released at all with the intention of being a resource for other developers to either use as the base of whatever new AOSP Rom they may intend on developing or selectively picking pieces or fixes. So going with the same idea after compiling the asked for Mako version thought why just limit the idea to just the Nexus 5 as all Nexus devices share the same code from AOSP with exception of needing to add a different set of propriety vendor blobs and choosing a different lunch command for building. So the same goes as intended for the Nexus 5. If any Nexus 4 developers would be interested in joining in on the project Just let me know and I will grant full access to the Github account and create a new branch so we can test and insure the master branch is always %100 stable if it is going to be used by other Nexus developers..
A few examples of the commits that have been added.

So far I have been using the "Mini Modular package" for testing without any issues.

Root is optional but recommend SuperSU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Have had version 2.37 in storage and had been using without issue but updated to 2,40 with last test without any issues. What can I say Im lazy that way so unless having an issue just used what works but figured most would grab the latest so thought it best to give it a test before posting.
Kernel is %100 Stock but going with past experience if mrg666 has a Kernel availible for your device it should be the Kernel you are using.

Change Log 5.0.2_plus_r2
Removed the below commit "Add ip6-localhost to /system/etc/hosts."
https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/commit/25147416bb105914c3cdf8fd65ca7cc20dae0f3e
Looks like a few apps are not fans of having an ip6 entry for localhost. Transparent Weather Widget for example can not find the device location with the enty included.
In looking for the cause of the above issue also reverted.
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/commit/e4ec09da0b4a31e23f1a19bdd1ea99e0f87cadac
Honestly reverted looking for the cause and did not remember to restore once identifying the cause. Overall is an old commit and dont think will make any difference whatsoever or would have been tagged for use in a past release so not going to bother.
As usual I am not responsible for your device and you are using anything posted in this thread at your own Risk.
This is %100 AOSP with no extra theming at all including bootanimation so no screen shots, as a Nexus User are probably aware what AOSP looks like at this point.
Don't mean to be rude, but you're still living in 2014, apparently. LOL . Classic mistake, I guess. Check the title dude.
Its cool, such a classic XDA first comment though. Could discover the holy grail and receive 15 comments about a spelling error. Adding I guess makes it that much better. Going to leave it in and see how many times your comment is over looked by someone so proud to have noticed it first, lol.
This is exactly what i have been looking for, we need more Roms like this. Thanks OP downloading now:good:

I hope you don't think it was something personal, man. Your title made my day. With all these exams, I've been all stressed out, and your title made reminded me of the time when I was sitting in bed with the laptop in front of me, thinking it's a long time till the exam session. LOL
Good rom so far, only thing was that data roaming was enabled by default.

I was just joking but still think it will be amusing to see how many skip past your post to point out the same. I actually test software for a living after it has been installed on an energy management diagnostic system both for new version testing and quality control before shipping and need to sign off that each system was checked out including the date. Had just recently worked on my birthday and was a highly unusually busy day but ended up signing off the date as 1976 (my birth year) on about forty systems. What is even more humorous is the amount of complaints from technicians who thought they received a system using a Nexus 7, now 9 for use as a portable User interface believed they had received software that had not been checked out since 1976. With that said most installers come from an HVAC technical school background and still use AOL as their contact email address. Lol!

Will look into that I'm happy to know it is working out. I basically just took my N5 source added the Mako vendor blobs and compiled using a different lunch command. Will go back and see if data roaming being enabled by default is a result of my updates or is set in general aosp 5.0.2 after work. Even though intention is keeping as pure as can be should still be looked at.
Think it would be nice if we could get a few devs together from across the current Nexus devices lineup and do our best to keep an aosp Rom available adding in the latest updates and bug fixes into the most current release for all Nexus devices. Not just for users but for other devs to use in their own aosp based work. Beleive if we could get something like that going would be pretty sweet and not all that time consuming. Still lots of updates added by Google devs every day. Some a bit more complicated then what I have done that a small group could easily bang out and test. Everything comes from the Master aosp branch that can get messy with constant new commits around the clock but think if selective in adding into latest release could be a beneficial project. So using my phrase of the week with that said I am going to build and post a version for all the Nexus devices in an attempt at gaining interest in the project. Again with that said I am torn for tonight as can try producing thr first N5 version that is sprint compatible or build for my Nexus 9. I am very much looking forwored to trying it out with jusst Simple ol aosp but at the same time feal bad for the Nexus 5 Sprint users who are all stuck on stock because other Roms are missing the aditional files added in for the radio to work. Decitions, decitions, decitions.

LMAO. That was funny
flashed yesterday with nothing to complain until now
thanks for this build
edit: found first bug (maybe)
whle setting Chronus Weather and also Transparent Clock Widget
the phone couldn't find it's location.
Pop up on the screen stated....
"Cannot retrieve location!"
Network geolocation is disabled
Set a custom location or enable location
already try High Accuracy, Battery saving and Device only but it never show my location
the widget always appear with "Loading weather data"
If i choose Battery saving then Google Location Reporting will turn grey and not clickable, other two option made it clickable again but still my location show "Loading weather data"
maybe someone are having this too?
how to fix it please?
thank you very much

Think I got the fix and am compiling now. Hopfully have up by tonight if not morning. I am on the N5 though and have no issue with beatifull widgets finding my location or maps with navigation working which is my goto test apps along with GPS test. After reading your post tried Transparent Clock Widget and the app was not able to find my location. I did manage to fix this on my N5 so am rebuilding for Mako using the same source. Now have all the Mako Vendor proprietary blobs set up in vendor so can build either Hammerhead or Mako depending on lunch command. Still though will need testing on N4 as I am on the N5.

Know prob but had been unsuspectingly busy but compiling the what believe will fix the issue for the N4 and it comes down to the smallest commit.

libmmcamera_interface.so

Since at lease back in the 4.4 days of AOSP, the nexus 5 (and probably others) has had an issue with the camera when in video mode. There's a nasty green line that appears on the side of the video during playback.
It's an easy fix; just replace the file /system/lib/libmmcamera_interface.so with the one from the factory nexus image.
I have poured over the source code for this library, but I can't find out what it is that causes this anomaly nor why it is fixed in google's image, but not in the AOSP source. How can this have been an issue for so long? Am I the only one who runs self-compiled AOSP on my N5?
Anyway, does anybody have any idea what the cause is, or how to fix it in the source?
Hello!
I started searching to fix that issue this morning and i ran in to your post. Ive been building a while from aosp sources with minimal editing only, and i think this hasnt happened with 5.0.2 for me. Now that ive merged 5.1 into the source, i saw it happening again.
I checked few trusted developers vendors, blobs, etc. And i managed to make this:
https://github.com/sicknemesis/android_vendor_lge/commit/de6831773e3e083cef8d53f344f0a03f6a604268
As i write, im flashing and bootin a rom build with this commit and it seems its working correctly now.
All credits to original authors as seen in original commit! Hope this was the thing we are looking for and i see not lot of people check this Developer Discussion forum . I DO!

Wow, so the N5 was never intended to use the AOSP version of that library. I never checked the qcom binaries nor noticed that it was included there.
Thanks for this!
The Boot2Gecko people have a source fix for it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1117662
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/device-hammerhead/commit/c37663f828891cf7a49451a04f3f1ce7f7e5c054
Thanks. It appears that the same lack of patch exists in the M source. I'll try it when I get a chance.

Disable support for FEATURE_AUDIO_LOW_LATENCY / Bluetooth audio issues

This may be an odd question and I might be completely out of my depth. I got a swanky new set of bluetooth headphones for my Nexus 6 earlier this week so that I can surreptitiously play more games with audio at work. I noticed a handful of the games I wanted to play had incredibly bizarre sound distortions.
Doing some digging and asking elsewhere pointed me to a defect in the Unity engine that describes this exact case. (Tried to post a URL here but apparently I have too few posts. Unity Issue tracker 758142)
Apparently this is a feature that is only supported by some devices, so I was hoping there might be a way to bypass or toggle this feature until the Unity defect is fixed and some of these game makers update their apps.
Any pointers?
Okay, seemed to have figured it out myself:
Using Root Explorer, renamed /etc/permissions/android.hardware.audio.low_latency.xml to .bak and restarted
Some games not having the issue, now.
Make a backup!

Only supported by certain phones, apparently. Here's the relevant extract from the android configuration XML mentioned in my reply comment:
Code:
<!-- This is the feature indicating low-latency audio, as specified by the
CDD. ONLY devices that meet the CDD's requirements may declare this
feature. -->
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.audio.low_latency" />
</permissions>
this could help fixing some games, but it's lowering the sound quality.
could someone give me a backup of this file ?

I'm not sure I follow you. The OP talks about renaming the file to prevent it getting used. Did you try that, but delete it instead?
Anyway, you should use the version of the file that belongs to your rom. If you deleted that, just dirty-flash your rom to get it back.
If your rom comes without the file, then we must assume that the rom developer found that to be the best. Talk to your dev if he is active.
If you just dump an old version of the file into a new rom, there is no telling what will happen. But feel free to try. The contents of the file is listed in a previous post.

Okay, I just read some more. This file doesn't seem to change the system behavior. It just sets a flag that apps can read and that tells them that the phone supports low latency.
In the OP's case, some games used different code when they found the flag, leading to the problem. But I assume that that has been fixed long ago.
You can find the original file here:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...ta/etc/android.hardware.audio.low_latency.xml
I looked at the folder indicated, but on my rom (Nitrogen Pie) the file isn't there. However, if I can trust the app I used (System Info for Android), the flag is set anyway. So it seems it gets set elsewhere.
thanks bro, but i already flashed the ROM again, sorry for late reply
