[Q] Any ROM with normal sound volume?

I've tried three or four Android ROMs and they all have incredibly loud in-call volume. Hoping one of you guys can recommend a ROM that works properly and fulfills its primary function as a phone. It's frustrating to see so much effort being put into fixing things like blurry MMS and LED notifications when the basic function as a usable phone that doesn't blast your eardrum to smithereens is overlooked.

Thanks!

Odd. Usually people complain about the low in-call volume on phone's. Here is the complete opposite. I would choose loud over too low any time

What roms are you using? Might give it a go. ;-)

x3, I thought I was going deaf when I first switched to using these roms.

Seems like you're a sense junkie, but if you can live without sense, I'm using cmn 2.0 by ocm and it seems okay. Also, most the gingerbread roms seemed fine, although those come with their own batch of problems.

I am very impressed by the Gingerbread update - no problems thus far and it is blisteringly fast. Even the stock browser is epically quick
Much kudos to Samsung! I feel like I have a brand new device.
My only issue - the Swype spacebar in portrait is too small.

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.

Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO

The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.

It has only chinese-supported keyboard which you can change/remove with root explorer/ESExplorer/etc. I live in finland so i got scandinavian keyboard from android market.
The rom has gapps bundled so you don't have to flash them seperately.

You don't care, but others care The problem is that even with the wireless tether the wifi tethering don't works (it's my experience with MIUI ROM) with this ROM we don't know.

I have confirmed that wifi tethering works well like in CM7.

What about the Incall Volume and the Speaker noise (while playing music)?
Any known bugs?

Anyone else experiencing slow WLAN speeds with this ROM? I seem to have this problem with every other 2.3.5. based ROM, WLAN speed drops to 1/10th of the original. Maybe my WIFI router just doesn't like these new ROMS?!

Haven't made any calls yet with the new ROM, but the same low volume noise bug still remains. You hardly notice it, so I wouldn't worry about it (and only happens with the phone's inbuilt speaker which is pretty much a joke for listening music anyways).

Is this ROM's interface similar to MIUI or to CM7? Can anybody post some more screenshots (homescreen, etc.)?

Jelly Bean Audio Problem

Bear with me, I'm not the greatest explainer in the world.
Anyway, I'm using the CLASSCY JB ROM, and the audio bug after a call seemed to be fixed. I noticed that the audio was only routed back to the speakers when I pressed OK to the operator pop-up message, telling me my balance etc, or when the phone app was stopped or started again.
So what I did was flash a JB ROM (aokp r4) that I knew had the bug, with the kernel from the CLASSCY ROM to see what would happen if I closed the phone app manually. I didn't need to try though as the same thing happened.
I'm no dev, but it's either a kernel thing and/or the phone app isn't switching back after calls
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

JB roms has got a prob with audio.
Since AOKP is based on CM9.
It was already fixed so its a kernel prob.

The hell are you talking about? I think what the op was trying to say is that the audio problem is kernel related because when he used the Classcy kernel instead of the included kernel in the jellybean based aokp, the problem was fixed.

Yeah, i also tried and it rotate correctly; btw, if someone can control, IMHO the classcy kernel is the same of fxp (141?) because the animation is the same, so maybe the true fixer is the fxp kernel (now i am at the university so i can't verify this idea)

How come it worked for you guys on aokp with that kernel but for me audio bug still appears?

The problem isn't completely fixed, today I do other test, and now often the audio rotate correctly, sometimes not

Have you tried closing the phone app? That was the reason I flashed AOKP, to see if that was the problem. I only kept the CLASSCY kernel (FXP?) because I couldn't be bothered to turn on my PC and change kernels.
What I did was play music, make a call (without stopping the music) and I noticed the music played through the ear piece (not during a call) until I pressed OK to the operator pop up you get after outgoing calls. Incoming calls might not trigger the switch. Dunno.
