Development [ROM][13.0][OFFICIAL] SparkOS [AOSP][STABLE][11/10/2022]

BUG: Certain audio apps playing via speaker will make crackling / popping noise at some intervals
Using Spark-13.2-Official-munch-20221113-gapps.zip
TEST: Goto settings -> Sound & Vibration -> Clear speakers, turn it on and wait for the crackle / poping.

When played through bluetooth headsets theres no crackling, and i just flashed from stock MIUI and there was no cracking before so its not a hardware issue. Crackling doesnt just appear on the clean speaker, other apps also produces it, stock utube doesnt, some audio players do.

Atm ive mitigated this by using ArrowOS's latest kernel. No more audio issues that ive observed.
Nvm i spoke too soon kekw

I have no problems with the sound.
Use the vanilla version.

I am using the vanilla version. The issue now also appears in latest crDroid after they cherry pick some stuff from SparkOS. It only clicks/crackles/pops on apps that plays audio via native code and not the java api (mostly games n hifi audio players).

 

[Senjosei]

Im using the vanilla version with my own gapps installed systemlessly via magisk. I'll do another doze test with gapps off.

I've done more tests with my gapps off, still the same. For comparison heres my doze test with 20221121 crDroid.

Which is way better compared too this

Another thing ive noticed is the doze battery drain is very bad. View attachment 5772037
7 hours of doze for 12% battery is preetyy yikez.

Found a workaround for the audio clicks / pops / cracks on applications that plays audio via native code and not java api (e.g. games), also needs root. Goto /vendor/etc/audio_policy_configurations.xml

Line 101 and find this:

<mixPort name="raw" role="source" flags="AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST|AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_RAW">
    <profile name="" format="AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT"
    samplingRates="48000" channelMasks="AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO"/>
</mixPort>

Change it to

<mixPort name="raw" role="source" flags="AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST">
    <profile name="" format="AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT"
    samplingRates="48000" channelMasks="AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO"/>
</mixPort>

This eliminates the weird audio issue while still keeping dolby functionality for music apps. Note this is a workaround and disables raw audio output, the real issue is still somewhere else (kernel maybe?) but it works for now. Maybe @spkal01 can look into it

No, but i have noticed some weirdness with the internet (mobile data / wifi). Like a game will complain theres no internet even tho utube is running in the background. And 1 time when mobile data isnt giving me internet, i tried to restart it but it got stuck at the initial boot screen (before the bootanimation) before i force restart it again.

I got similar issue on my previous phone with lack of internet and needed to enable and disable airplane mode for few moments. Disabling mobile data/WiFi didn't helped.

------------------------------
I got another fatal reboot when phone was unused (without tethering this time), now phone booted normally. Below you will find some more logs @spkal01:

Thank you for bringing us such a good ROM, but one downside is that it doesn't provide multi-weight fonts for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean like other native ROMs. This leads to single-weight fonts in many apps and system UI, but I found a Magisk module that would make it great if you could merge it into the Sparks ROM.

There's screen brightness problems. It just randomly changes to a brighter color and then switches back. It happens while I scroll and type. It's annoying tbh.

There's screen brightness problems. It just randomly changes to a brighter color and then switches back. It happens while I scroll and type. It's annoying tbh.

This happens when the refresh rate switches from 60hz to 120hz. A workaround for now is to set it at 120hz all the time and choose which apps at 60hz. (This also happens on other roms, but worse on roms that have 90hz as an option)

Sending SMS stopped worked for me, what is interesting receiving working. APN is set correctly. Too much bugs in this rom in recent time :/. I used Textra and it didn't even gave me info that sms was not send, switched to default app aand here I see issue. All permissions are granted.

Log while trying to send new message: https://pastebin.com/kmCRr8RV

edit: strange, in my APN probably disappeared address in MMSC row. I didn't even change/set APNs after rom installation and didn't open that settings before - SMS just was working since flashing so I guess something was set under MMSC when it was working.

I restored (set) MMSC "http://mmsc.play.pl/mms/wapenc" for Internet APN for my provider (telco Play in Poland), connection was reseted and seems to work now.

Thanks for the fantastic ROM, i'm using it as my daily driver. With the app Snap Cam you can record video with 1080p 240 fps and 4k 120fps resolutions. Is there any way to add that feature to the stock camera?

Did you udpate it? Last is from today. Heavy changelog and fix.

Gmail works just fine you have to open the app and allow notifications before gmail will send you them.

I try.

but on the last update double tap and screen off shortcut seem does't work.

Does it charge at a 120w?

Does it charge at a 120w?

Phone technically is constructed to charge at max 67W. I checked and my phone maximum got ~50-55W using official charger and cable. It's still really fast.

Years ago there were modifications for various phones that increased the maximum charging current (I used one for my samsung s3 and changed 1A->1.1A) but I doubt if it still makes sense and if it is still safe with such large watts.

I can confirm. Option is still available, but phone doesn't wake up when double tapped.

 

[aresjan]

I can confirm. Option is still available, but phone doesn't wake up when double tapped.

I update to latest version and double tap still works perfect. Double tap for the screen off works from the home screen on any empty space or the notification bar, and double tap to wake works ok. i have all the double tap options activated, the ones from the screen options, and the ones from fireworks>gestures .
