Cyanogen mod 11 LB - very low spearkers sounds - Xperia SP General

HI, i ve just installed CM 11 (not FXP) into my XSP. Everything is fine, but I have very annoying problem. Why spearkers are so quiet ? I cant hear the person i talk with too much and backspeaker is quiet too.

Just install alsa mixer from play store and put file (uncompressed) it in /etc/init.d and chmod 755 to file.

Do I need to mess around with something on Alsa Mixer? And what do you mean with the chmod 755 file?
EDIT: Ok, I think I understand now, it means fixing permissions through ADB, but how do I type it in the command window? I tried:
chmod 755 audio_80
and
chmod 755 system/etc/init.d/80_audio
But had no results.

Install alsamixer from play store and open it, the app ask for install, click yes. When done reboot your phone and test.

It opens Superuser briefly and then says "Permission denied", but it never asked me for permission, if it's what it means.

You block the app, allow them in cm settings

It has already been mentioned on this forum quite a few times...
The best way to increase all volumes on CM11 is to install William's kernel and install Fauxsound. (see play store)
You can increase your volume untill the point you can literally blow your speakers.
Be careful when using it!

Is the williams kernel compatibile with last CM 11 compilation ? I don't want to break my phone . Is there another way to fix that by flashing kernel? This williams seems to have bugs

Oh, but we're talking of CM11 for LB. My guess is that there's no way to get such kernels on LB.

I'm still trying what dssmex says, I feel confident on that it works, but I'm still having problems with terminal emulator. haha.
I managed to give it permissions, but now everytime I type:
adb shell su -c chmod 755 /etc/init.d/80_audio

I get a "Device not found" error, but I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, so I'll keep trying.
EDIT:
Okay, despite that message, I tihnk it's working now. I even had to lower the volume a little bit as the speakers were sounding distorted. Thanks.
Though, if anyone follows this guide, use max volume at your own risk.

Keep it going bro! I'm too noobish to do anything like that, share when u achieve our goal .

Ok, if you want less volume, you need lower value in script (p.ej if is 96 you can modify to 94 and test it), remember always change permissions to 755 after change the script (Reboot required after change).
Digitall RX1 and Digital RX2 are for call speaker.
RX3 .. RX7 is for external speaker.

Could You tell me what exacly did you do? In simple language. I have this app aleamixer and i can find this rx digitals in it. I have already changed the volume of call speaker by switching values with 8x or 9x(it worked w/o restart) . I don't know what is this chmod and 775 permissions. I let this app permanent permissions in superuser.
I dont know how to change media speaker though :/. Could u tell me?

Extract the file that dssmex left and extract it. Put it in your /system/etc/init.d/ folder.
Go to Terminal and type:
"su" Do this only if you haven't given permissions to the app yet.
Click options and select restart console.
Now type:
"-c chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/audio_80"

But do I have to mess sth up with values in this alsa mixer? Ok, nvm, i dont have to. I can't copy this file audio to this folder init.d though. It is a matter with permissions i guess which i cant changr

You can't? You need to have Root Explorer or any app that can access to the system folders.

Okey. I copied it finally... I thought that my explorers have this root permisions to copy. Anyway, when i write this command into terminal it says file not found ;/
-c chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/audio_80
heh, i just read that this chmod is changing permissions status, which i did already(in some root explorer) so it should work now... i check it right now. It seems not to work ;/
OK. It works now, after restart. Ty all

Permissions should be. rwxr-xr-x
Good to know it helped.

Thanx bro.....

ADB Push

I searched around and couldn't get a clear answer. I'm a noob at anything command prompt/terminal related.
I was screwing around with adb last night after figuring out that I can remove program .apks with the rm <com.whatever.program> command. I got a little trigger happy and removed things that I don't use, just to test it out. I made a nandroid backup before I started. The phone runs fine, but now the Market won't download anything. It just sits on the Starting download... screen.
One of the .apks I removed was GmailProvider.apk. Whether this is the problem or not, I'd like to reinstall it for practice. I can always nand restore later.
So my question is... How can I use adb push to reinstall an apk?
I tried:
Code:
adb push C:\GmailProvider.apk
adb install C:\GmailProvider.apk
adb install C:\GmailProvider.apk \system\app
And about every variation of the 3, in and out of the adb shell.
It didn't work, and I'm at a loss to do anything else. So does anyone have any suggestions?
You have to push it abs then give it permissions.
So after pushing the apk give it permissions by doing this.
Code:
Adb push C:/gmailprovider.apk /system/app/gmailprovider.apk
adb shell
Chmod 775 /system/nameofapp.apk
Exit
Adb reboot
Your phone needs to be rebooted so I added the adb reboot, but you can just turn it off and on like you would normally or use that command.hope it helps.

Ok I see two things that might be wrong with what you did.
Try not capatalizing the first letter(Not sure if this is a big deal but better to make sure.) and fix your path, GmailProvider.apk should be in the system/app folder.
Code:
adb shell
chmod 775 /system/app/GmailProvider.apk
adb reboot
The chmod command (abbreviated from change mode) is a shell command and C language function in Unix and Unix-like environments. When executed, it can change file system modes of files and directories. The modes include permissions and special modes

Yea you might be able to see it but the app might not have the right permissions to be used. Therefore it might be the reason why you can't download apps from market.
Excellent.
Code:
adb push C:/GmailProvider.apk /system/app/GmailProvider.apk
adb shell
chmod 775 /system/app/GmailProvider.apk
adb reboot
Worked like a charm. The capitalization was required; it gave an error without it. I installed Gmail.apk again using the same method and ran the program, and it worked. Thanks!
EDIT: GASP! Market works.
You're a lifesaver. Well, ROMsaver. I guess this means that GmailProvider.apk and gtalkservice.apk can't be removed from the phone.

Don't know what to tell ya, you can start adding back the apks you deleted or do that nand restore since you already know how to install back a system apk, so you learned what you wanted
EDIT: I see you got it to work so that's good news, but like Nestor pointed out always use nand backup before you do any changes to the system area, I've learned to do this the hard way lol.
It's a good reminder
Thanks a ton guys I'll nand backup in a few to have a better restore point.
Learning android-related things ftw!
Oh, one more thing.
I saw something about adding an Environmental Variable to windows that involved adb? Could someone explain that?
- Also, Mikey1022 has reminded me to add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows...
To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista) then select Environment Variables.
Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:
Variable: adb
Value: C:\android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools

i think Thefuzz4.net explained this better
To make life easier, lets add a global path to the android SDK tools. Right-click My Computer > Properties,
click on Advanced, then click on Environment Variables.
Doubleclick on PATH, then at the end of the Variable value, add a semi colon ";" and then c:\AndroidSDK\tools
Doing The above ^^ will let you run adb from anywhere on your computer, like your desktop. You won't have to change to the directory and the run adb anymore, you can just run adb from anywhere on the command prompt. Its basically a little trick for us lazy people that hate having to "cd C:/android/tools" before running adb.
Does anyone know of a good resourse for adb and/or shell commands. Every time i try to goole it i just get links to different forums with just basic stuff, push, pull, ect. Id like to find something much more complete including chmod and the like

Thanks t2. Makes sense now. I hate CDing to the directory, so shortcuts are also ftw.
@above -- couldn't find a real resource so I resorted to asking specific questions on xda. if you find a resource lemme know.
ALSO -- chmod 775 /system/app/RandomProgram.apk.....what does the "775" do?

the different numbers are different permission settings. I forgot the other numbers, but their are others that set the applications for different permissions in the system. Someone correct me if I am mistaken though.

Well , it's not totally locked down. You can access it (Read and write) if you boot into recovery. Not the smoothest solution but it works. Also there is AUFS but i don't think i have gotten that to work at all. Maybe it needs to be enabled, haven't really checked but i boot into recovery when i need to change something.
You can change the /system permission with a terminal emulator as Better Terminal Pro on the phone or by the phone connected to your pc via
Code:
> adb shell
doing in both cases:
Code:
# chmod -R 777 /system
when you restart the phone, /system will be reset to the original 755 permissions.
thanks for the response guys

If you have written the command exactly as you report is obvious that the os return an error. try to write as i did... (with blanks in between)
of course your phone had to be passed the Unrevoked 3.21 procedure!

Anyway if you are not very much concerned in linux shell commands, i would suggest you to wait another more automatic method.

I've started to delete useless apps through Titanium Backup(acer staff,games etc) , and exidently deleted smth connected with honeycomb stock keyboard.

here is my recover steps: (for a500 which is bricked)
for a500 is normal:
root it
put the system.img into a500
connect to the computer with adb and follow the codes:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then reboot

You might very well have ruined your tablet.
I'm not a developer or coder so I can't make any sense of the code you posted but if a reset didn't fix it then you've certainly deleted something important. Hopefully someone has some ideas.
If not, then maybe you can return it? And next time, don't delete something unless you know what it is you're deleting.
ok ive recovered from image, but now wifi is not working , what should i do?
There are posts about having to change file permissions to fix wifi. Search this forum, there are a few.
edit - linked post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074449&highlight=wifi+permission
yeah ive read this but i dont know how to move that files to system folder on devide, wifi is down , so i cant download any file managing apps from market and theres no any file managers on stock Rom
If you've got the adb working, you can use the command mv to move the file.
I'm not sure of the exact path involved, but for example. the file is in /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved and needs to go into /sytem/lib/modules
mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules
That'd put it in the location you need. To change the permissions, you'd use the command chmod
chmod 655 /system/lib/modules/filetobemoved
The 655 is an octal(0-7) representation of the file's permissions. I'm not sure what permissions it needs, but you could try 655 as a start unless someone else knows for sure.
if you want, hit me up on msn, I can try to walk you through it: [email protected]

type mount and paste/retype the line that has /system in it. It might be mounted read only.
or try the cp command in place of mv
edit - also, the filetobemoved is just an example. I think one of the filenames is bcm4329.ko but I'm not sure. so /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko would be the full path

Are you logged into the tablet using adb's shell? I've only used that once on a different tablet, but iirc the commands are standard Unix/Linux commands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you already logged in as superuser like this? You don't need to 'sudo' or 'su' to switch over do you?
I'm not familiar enough with this specific environment to figure out what might be keeping you from placing those files in that location. The command to check the partitions mount options is
mount
It should return a bunch of text, one line of which is gonna be the /system partition. If it's ro(read only) then you can't write to it and would need to remount it.
yeah it looks like it is "ro"
ive got /system ext4 ro
how to remount)
My knowledge of adb is limited as well. All I know is that I can connect to it, type: adb devices (in the command prompt) to make sure it sees my tab then 'adb push filename.extension /directory/structure' to force files... Conversly, I think adb pull filename.extension /directory/structure will grab files on the tab if you know what they are called and where they are located.

what was the /dev/block/mtdblock for /system?
there is a number after it...for example /dev/block/mtdblock1
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
would remount it read/write, provided that it is mtdblock1, change the number depending on what your device has.
yeah now /system have "rw", but it anyway refuses to copy using mv(failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
) or astro manager

If cp won't put it there either, I'm out of ideas. Maybe ask in the other thread how they were able to copy/move the file and set the permissions?
I know it may not be really classy, but how about downloading an .apk That will let you mount the drive, to an sd card in a computer then transfer that to the Acer. (If it's an extreme case and nothing else will work..not condoning piracy, but don't know what would work...)
or is it possible to copy the system data from a Titanium backup and send it over so he can restore the missing files?
This following step I can't be responsible for it's safety. It looks safe to my eyes, but proceed having been forewarned. I did some research and you might be able to use dd to get the file there.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/filname of=/system/lib/modules/filename

[HOWTO] Dalvik2Cache 90MB extra Space for Apps

found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken
hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)
works great, thanks!
since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/

Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

Have a look at first post in this thread - you have to copy two files

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.
I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?
Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.

found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken

I'm sorry was that a typo? When your phone gets broken! Or if?

Hi harfot,
Thank you so much! I have it done now! But I wonder why the free space in my phone is now still the same (184MB - Because I only have a few apps installed).

hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)

hey! This sounds like a best solution if you dont want to unlock the bootloader. But I am not too advanced user yet, could you please explain me this one with more details? actually I only need to know
1). which permissions exactly need to be set and
2). what to write inside the hw_config.sh file
Any help appreciated!
bump! no one has any ideas?
Thanks it's work in arc

lost all permissions after messing with platform.xml

Hello,
I have SM-N9005 variant and recently I updated to the latest android 4.4.2 leaked version with Odin, and then rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
After that, I lost the permission to write to external sdcard.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49603814
I backed up /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then I followed the instructions there.
After restart, a lot of app stopping messages showed and I had no access to file system or network anymore.
I used adb shell to restore the original platform.xml but it didn't helped in any way.
It seems that all mounts and networks are working, but none of the applications has permission to use any of them.
How do I resolve this, without wiping all my data?
Thank you!
You need to set the correct permissions on the .xml after you overwrite it back into the /system Off the top of my head I can't think what they are (just out of bed and got to work so still sleepy!)

I tried 644 and 777 but the problem persists.
rw-r-r which is 644 - read wrong
or chmod 666 -- forgive my lack of memory, it has been a long time since I have used chmod commands, few years since my glFTPD / site modding days.

i dont know if it helps in your situation but did you try the "fix permissions" from a custom recovery like twrp?
there are also scripts you can execute in a terminal, the knoxout script linked in my sig for example has a permission fixer included.

Thank you.
When i run this, no matter what are the parameters, for example: sh kn0x0ut.sh kn0x0ut
it says:
ERROR: Unknown parameter ""

just type sh kn0x0ut.sh to get all commands.
if you dont get this working, you can do it from twrp (i think cwm too)if you have it.
tap on "advanced" and then on "fix permissions".
