Review and issues with Wolfbreak's v 6.0.0 rom - XPERIA X10 General

I've been using this rom for a month now, and I've noticed that it tends to get a bit laggier every day. At first it was blazing fast but now it's as slow as the original rom. I also suddenly started having a problem with my earpiece speaker crackling.
To fix this I've done the Pull-out-Battery reset. It's helped with speed but the earpiece is still crackling terribly.
To solve the earpiece issue I've turned my in-call volume down to very low and the crackling is a lot less worse.
I just wanted to post a review and a few small things that have been a bit buggy for me with this rom.
Overall I really like it and I can live with battery-resetting my phone every once in a while, but I'm disappointed in the speaker damage.
If they can fix whatever is damaging the speaker I'd say this is a great ROM.

Did you use xLoud? Because that hurts the speakers pretty damn much.

agreed ^^
xloud has bad news written all over it

Though the Wolfbreak Rom does come with xloud, I have it disabled.
I have to wonder why it is still included in the rom though, I seem to understand it's fairly well documented to cause speaker issues so I would have thought it would be removed from all roms by now.

i hv v6 WB but it doesnt have xloud preinstalled.
u have to flash it if u want ...

Mind you, even though WB can work wonders with any roms he produces its still based off a SE firmware which can never be truly faster than anything AOSP.
At least in my experience.

Wolfbreak v7b5 is awesome. V7b6 comes soon then final release. But he's thinking of doing Cyanowolf!!!!!

Just want to say i've been using Wolfs Rom (V7b6) for unlocked bootloader (Doomlord Kernel v06) for little over a month now and i've never had any issues. I flashed several things like xLoud + Bravia; battery mod from kitchen; different fonts; different lockscreens ...etc. I hear some people do have issues though, mainly the loss of contacts when the phone shuts itself down (which i think is due to a locked bootloader-not sure). Maybe i'm blessed with a good device/battery . I absolutely love this rom So big big THANK YOU 2 WOLF. Peace.

Using WB stock kernel and recently my unlock screen disappeared. It doesn't even give me the option to lock the phone by holding down the power button.
Anyone else notice this glitch?

Voice quality issues with cm7 and miui

I'm making a new thread for this because it applies to cm7 and miui and will get buried in their threads.
Basically im assuming MIC volume is maxed out. Your own voice can feedback into the speaker when on a call. You sound distorted to the person on the other end, especially when you're not in a quiet location. Basically making the phone part of the phone un usable. I have had this happen on all cm7 miui builds.
Also speaker volume can not be changed when the screen is off
Known issue acknowledged by Uber that is somehow involved with the mic feedback resolution. They are working on it, but I have no idea when it'll be fixed. Flashing Bushido or Shadow kernel seems to help.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Having the same problem! Thought it was the replacement phone I just got but on stock 2.3, the mic sounds great.
Distortion and low mic threshold. Picks up way too much background noise.
"sounds like you're surfing"
hahah

CM7 Nightly music quality - SOLVED! see post#5 (not CM7 related)

Hey guys. Im running the 02/23/12 nightly.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing lower-than-par headset quality. I'm very particular with my music, and i listen to a lot of the same songs repeatedly, so i know exactly how they are supposed to sound.
Forgive me, I'm not too keen on audio lingo, so its difficult for me to describe what I'm experiencing: sometimes it sounds like the volume is fluctuating. One may even say that it sounds like my phone is having a difficult time when there is heavy bass and heavy treble at the same time.
Regardless of my ****ty explanation, has anyone else noticed a difference in audio quality since using the new nightlies?

Have you tried the beats audio mod? found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
Are you shure it's CM7 not 9? I thought that there are no more updates for cm7.

Definitely cm7, nightly support started back up about a month ago or so
What does that mod do? I'm not looking for anything fancy, i just want it to sound the way it should...like it used to when i was on the old CM7, and on froyo

I have noticed the past few updates Supercurio has put out that they have made the sound almost "wavy " if that makes sense. I just reverted back two builds ago and all is back to normal. Think he is recoding Voodoo app to integrate free and plus into one app and something isn't gellin too good. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is hard to pit it into words. Pretty sure it isn't exclusive to CM.

would you be so kind as to PM me the apk of the voodoo version you are using??
Of course my friend. PM sent
You're a bloody genius, the revert version you sent me resolved the issue. "wavy" - HA! that was a PERFECT way to describe what i was experiencing, and it was ruining my life. thank you for bringing meaning back to my exisistence.
my wife was telling me it was probably all in my psycho head...WOMEN!!
(i mustve casually, and coincidentally, updated voodoo shortly before/after switching to the new nightlies, which is prob the reason i was led to believe it was a ROM issue)

Speaker very Quiet - Was not always quiet.

My Nexus 7 is really hard to hear, the volume is really low. I have searched threads and have seen people talking about their speaker crackling and stuff like that but mine is just really quiet and it happened after I restored the original image.
It was a normal volume prior and now I cannot seem to get any decent volume out of it. Does anyone have any pointers at all?
It is frustrating me that it will not go very loud now and I would deal with it had it always been like that but it is definitely quieter than it was.
Are their any Roms/Kernels that may increase volume at all as well?
Matt
Hi mate,
If you've just re-flashed the stock image and the speaker went quiet, then the best thing you could do is to try it again. Or you could try any custom ROM to see if the volume return to normal.
You might just have been really unlucky that the speaker has blown around the time that you re installed it. In which case, i'd recommend that ASUS get another nexus 7 back............. Yeah, i know it means a lot of messing about, but it might be the only way :good:

I reflashed it back to stock again and it seems a bit louder, not overly loud but a definite improvement. (I am led to believe that the Nexus 7 is a quite tablet anyway so wont swap it over!)
Thanks for your help.
I've noticed this on my stock rooted unit also. Very hard to hear most things.

You could try the Kaos ROM in the development thread (I believe it has Xloud implemented). Otherwise try DSP manager and set speaker to acoustic equalizer.

Phone Speaker crackling, noise, static, while screen off. (Also on call)

Easy to test, go to a very quiet room. Really quiet. Put your phone to your ear while screen off and listen. (Not phone off)
You will hear a faint sound, static, cracking well some kind of noise.
This is nothing new, and not just bound to this phone. However I had this issues only on the Nexus 4 and never noticed it on other phones I had.
It becomes a bit annoying while in call, really quiet room, and every pause, when both parties are not talking.
I think only option is learn to live with it? As if the numerous threads from N4 and other devices are true, this is a HW fault on all devices. Some ppl just do not hear it. What varies is the intensity, which ppl reported that exchanged their devices.
Is there someone on some variant not hearing it? (State your age as well)
Is there someone who exchanged their device based on this problem and got a new one with a different level of the noise?
Mine is international LG D802
I do hear the pops and squeals when I'm on a call, but not otherwise. VZW version, rooted, stock rom, "A" version of modem/radio.

The sound that you experience, since its through your BT as well, might be normal connection/call sounds. I have this really on all phones even sometimes on iPhone. But if its something tha tyou do not expect to hear, and have it constantly , bring it for repairs, I do not have somehting out of the ordinary in the calls, except what I described in the OP.
What I mean its really like static electricity, cracking sounds. But its faint, you won't notice it in normal environment, at least not when you do not know what to look for. There are youtube videos for the N4 with the sound I mean. cant listen to it now, as I am at work but I think something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wOxtzStUZ4
you really need a quiet environment, put your ear to the earpiece.
Also thanks for your post!
I am on ATT and noticed this and I was thinking about returning it but I tested the display model at the ATT store and the same thing. I tested an Iphone 4s and the same thing with the earpiece. I think this is more common than people think because you really have to be in a quiet setting to actually hear it. Thanks

FWIW, I haven't had this issue at all since the update came out months ago. Maybe they just haven't updated the demo model in the store.
Thanks for the info are you saying you had the issue prior to KitKat and the OTA with KitKat resolved the problem

whether you'll be kind enough to write a link for what you did two months ago, as you say it is successful and that the problem is solved. I tried to find it but I could not

All I did was accept the 12B update. 24A (Kit Kat) is rolling out now, I believe.
I'm sorry for bringing this from dead, but have you guys found any solution for this? Or it's not fixable once it occurs? charging + headphones +v4a developed this bug this evening on my g2.

My ears or better brain adjusted... same way you adjust to every annoying sound after a while. It is there... but you stop caring - hearing it.
I do not believe there is a software fix. If your problem is the one that I described, new hw might help.
But as I said. I adjusted ...
Definitely seems to be hardware problem. If I knew about it earlier I would never connect headphones and charger at the same time. Symptoms: static noise @ approx. 120bpm from both speakers, while phone in deep sleep.
Tried uninstalling v4a drivers, app, poweramp, flashing different kernels, clearing caches, and what so not.
I don't want to raise hope, but I found temporary workaround. I'm on stock kk, and I use g2 tweaksbox and gravitybox to get statusbar aosp quicksetting tiles. There is a compass tile. If I leave it ON there is no more noise. At first I thought that maybe this prevents phone from deep sleeping, but bbs is showing that phone sleeps well. Have not tested standby battery impact yet.

Hi,
Thanks for the remainder, as I noticed latest @dorimanx kernel eliminates this (from v 8) and my itchy fingers installed Viper4Android again and yes I struck my luck the distortion starts again...
My conclusion is an option between have better audio performance in mid to high volume level. But, lived my days with G2 enjoying the distort...
Or uninstall everything about viper4android and listen to flat music beat...
And I choose ingore the distort and drive away with awesome audio performance in my bluetooth car audio....
Cheers,
Hey, do you have xposed? I noticed that if I enable compass in quicktiles, there will be no more crackling. But I'm not sure about battery. So I use this when it's quite, in the evening, and I start hearing cracks, I just turn on compass.

Assistance/question on crackling noise

Greetings everyone.
I'm currently on my 3rd essential phone :silly: but I keep on getting this stupid crackling noise from the phone (speaker, headset, BT audio), and I'm aware many have this issue which apparently is a software thing, wouldn't imagine having 3 essential phones having the same defect, hence my question... Is there any custom ROM where I can ease my mind playing whatever noise on whatever app without listening to this annoying ass crackling noise? Currently my problem persists on WhatsApp voice notes, and any freaking game I play (and I play like 6 games). Any advice would be extremely helpful. Currently running stock Android 10, never modified this particular device whatsoever, no root no flashing, no fastboot flash... Nothing all stock clean.
Waiting on the same boat for some advice..
Hello, the latest patch has this fixed I'm happy to say, and the speaker sounds quite better too. However I hope fast charging comes back next month, it's painfully slow now
