-Carbon ROM 4.4.2 Released
When i left all i9500 community. Sound quality was very bad (more than bad maybe). Thats why i left, but now i can see light end of the road.. Microphone and speaker stuff in-call looks like almost fixed My friends can hear me clearly anyway one thing left (sometimes glitchy) low sound i learned some new skills while i was absent here .. So i can try fixing some stuff right now
Maybe we will get full working ROM soon. who knows :cyclops: :good:
Yeah Video Recording doesn't work for now...
[ IN-CALL SOUND FIX ]
Guys :
My Turkish Friend shared an information with me
His name is "Emre Akturk"
WE FINALLY FOUND A FIX FOR SOUND PROBLEMS
That Information fixes SOUND QUALITY IN-CALL AND ALL OTHER SOUND RELATED PROBLEMS
I TESTED IT WORKS
BUT WE STILL NEED TESTERS
PLEASE TEST AND REPORT IF IT FIXES
I CALLED MY FRIENDS AND THEY SAID "YEAH SOUND IS GOOD NOW "
These 2 apps fixes sound
Viper4Android App (The main app which changes sound drivers)(without adaway app app cant gain su permission i dont know why but after installing adaway and applying adblocking,suddenly app gains su permission. It's weird or magic don't know )
And AdAway app (It probably changes hosts file and you can install drivers after that It's weird but it works )
Viper4Android app is very popular around these days but i didnt think it can fix the sound
Anyway My Turkish Friend found that way
All credits goes to Emre Akturk for finding a way to fix the sound temporarily.(Maybe I can include library files from viper4android into device tree in the future with proper credits ( Viper4Android Credits Rules) .So we will get permanent fix after that )
Links Below :
Viper4Android (to fix sound )
AdAway (to fix root problem with magic lol)
PLEASE TEST AND WRITE FEEDBACK MATES
Other Credits goes to viper4android developers : here is main link of viper4android app
INSTRUCTIONS :
1- Install Adaway and viper4android apks to your device
2- Open adaway and allow root access and touch "download files and apply ad blocking" button.

3- open viper4android and allow for installing drivers
