A DEFINITE FIX FOR LOW VOLUME IN CUSTOM ROMs? - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi All,
After flashing so many custom ROMs - AOSP, Lineage, AOKP, etc, I found one common issue - low volume both for media and during a call.
Is the solution in the thread of http://www.android.gs/fix-low-audio-...s-cyanogenmod/ a definite fix for those? The solution looks pretty simple. Copy over the audio/sound files from your stock ROM directory and then paste it in the custom ROM directory after flashing it. Can anybody please confirm if it actually works?

You can as always edit mixer_paths.xml.

Great.. So, technically can I just copy paste mixerpaths.XML file that I have copied from the stock ROM into any of those ROMs which have this issue in order to resolve this issue?

No, I tried that and it didn't work. You need to find the appropriate lines and change the values like that https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/themes/mod-moto-g4-native-volume-boost-t3566205
Or you have the rom that fits the files already provided in the post.

Any way to fix the problem now? The problem persist

What problem? Did you read my post above yours?

Yea, and I readed but it say that is for Los 14.1 right? So is only for that ROM or I'm wrong?
EDIT: in Moto G4 works but if you disconnect your headphones, sounds dissapear and in youtube is a chaos.

Where you read its only for LineageOS 14.1? The files provided on the link are for stock rom too as mentioned. And you're free to edit your mixer_paths.xml of your rom with the values.
I did that on other device too, it's a device and rom independent modification only editing the values.

I've got the same trouble with my SGH-i337m from Mexico, I just turned to wanamlite 1.5 i9505 and then when I try to sign in it says "invalid device id". I've read a few things about changing build.prop but I don't know how.
To change build.prop you have to be rooted. And either download an app that does that and or browse to it via a root browser and modify it. Make a backup because if you mess up something your hosed. Soft bricked anyhow.
I don't have any problems however I would suggest clearing cache and data through settngs then apps. You are using your Sammy id right?

Thanks for the quick reply, I have buildprop editor, I'm root, but what should I change to sign in correctly to video hub?
I wouldn't change build.prop unless I absolutely had too. It does work on AT&T software. So modifying build.prop would only make ur device look like T-Mobile or others if that's what was suggested through other threads.

I'm not sure why the solution was to modify build.prop.
Thank you

LG G2 > How to extract/view the contents of modem.img?

Hey,
I need to analyze the contents of the new (D802) Kitkat modem.img and compare it with the previous (D805) JB modem.img, and try to make something out of it.
It seems that there are some differences with the compass and position sensors, as they're not working in LG's Kitkat with the old modem.
They do work with the new modem, but as my device modem is different (D805), I can't connect to the network.
nothing?
anyone?

I am on it. 7zip let you extract the modem.img files, but it does not allow to modify its contents. I used Poweriso to do that. I just modified some files inside. The thing is that I am shooting in the dark, as nobody seems to know the function for the 79 files inside modem.img.
I made a guess and I am currently flashing a D802 kitkat image on my D806 and will flash my frankie modem after it, will let you know if I am successful..
Regards,
@Floodland any progress? I got exactly where you got, but couldn't edit .img files. If you have any progress let me know so I can test with d805!
Sent from my LG-D805 using xda app-developers app
Anything ...?

I did it with success once (gingerbread modem with kitkat Android, the second time I tried, using a native kitkat modem with Lollipop, I was not able to find the correct set of files to merge (seems they changed something else in the actual modem. Thing is, some months later D805 received an update to Lolipop and that modem worked fine for D806 too. I do not have that device anymore, but MM and everything which got released until I got it, worked as intended with that radio.

Downloaded 3 different apk and after each reboot. Then did not check.

Also doesn't always work "applications" in the settings. "The application "Settings" An error has occurred."

Yeap. Twice.
The same problem still two people. When I restore a backup in TB phone also restarts.
And one more question. Is it possible to implement a switch in the settings of the background to white? As in LS 5.0

Hello. I have two problems. Namely, the phone shows the ANR in the selection (settings - applications) and a phone call is interrupted.
Can I install this on JB bootloader?

[Q] S-Cover

HI
I have and aftermarket cover and it used to work flawless with kitkat. I updated recently and now it doesnt. Phone freezes when i flip the cover , cannot answer calls etc..
If sm1 who is still in kitkat could extract scover.apk and another relative apk (i dont remember the name but has "cover" in it ) it would be so nice.
Thanks
The quickest way to get an apk, rather than wait for someone to post it, is to download a rom and unzip it and take what you need.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a stock 4.4.2 rom in my pc but cant seem to decompress it. I can see system.img.ext4 (2.2Gb so this must be the main archive) but dont know how to extract that archive. Tried 7zip winzip winrar nothing works.
Thanks
Is it a tar or a zip?
---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------
A kit-kat apk most likely won't work on a lollipop rom anyway. Try finding a stock lollipop rom and test the apk from that.

It's a tar.
As for the second suggestion I am currently on stock firmware so that's the problem.
First, you would need a stock rom in zip form. Second, look for a custom stock based rom around here, it may have an apk that works.

S5 Active G870F rom question

Finally, today my G870F arrives. I have mixed feelings at the moment, but please do confirm me if I know well.
- I can use any Galaxy S5 G900F roms, if rooted and has TWRP installed.
- The active button will not work (I don't care)
My other question is, that will the hardware buttons work (home, menu... )?
Thanks a lot!
Old topic, but I build my own LineageOS 14.1.
I've been using it for a week now and no known bugs, except Activity button does not work.
