[ROM][4.4.3] CyanogenMod 11 for HTC One S

[ungraphic]

For those having headset/headphone mic not working try the following:
- using a root file explorer (like the included CM file explorer or ES File Explorer), open the /system/build.prop file
- look for the following line: "persist.audio.handset.mic=digital" and change it to "persist.audio.handset.mic=analog" (change the bits in red)

It should work. Reason: for whatever cause, when an AOSP ROM is built, this line is included in build.prop. While this may work on majority of the phones, for Ville it seems not. The behavior if this is set to digital is distorted voice heard by other party or no sound at all, interruptions and so on. I had this issue on all AOSP ROMs so now I edit this line "by default" on any ROM after flashing (or you can edit the file in the ROM zip before flashing). It is valid for KK and LP as well

For the low volume issue there are some tweaks made by Darknites and others by me (they are in several threads like the CM12 thread or Candy5 thread). They're made for LP basically but I think the files are the same between KK and LP. Make a backup of the original file anyway.
All is about altering some values in a file called snd_soc_msm_2x located at /system/etc/snd_soc_msm. You cand extract this file from the phone and edit it on your PC with a txt editor like Notepad+. Look for some entries in the "Device section"(s), do not touch other sections. There are some headset, voice, headpone and so on device entries and each has it's own volume set, usually somewhere between 60-70. You can SLIGHTLY (and I MEAN SLIGHTLY) increase these values (try with 1 to 5 maximum) so if something is 60 make it 65. DO NOT increase these values too much as it can damage your headset or bring distorted sound if they cannot handle the volume.
NOTE: volume heard during Viber, Skype and similar calls it's set by altering the entries containing "VOIP" (Voice Over IP). Adjust them same way

Good luck...

THANK YOU!!!

I made the edit to the file you pointed out from digital to analog. I've made 4 calls today and every single one was flawless. The volume for me is not an issue (its loud enough plus I've already got tinnitus), so I'll leave that be for now. I'll try to post in a few days again with further results to see that the change sticks (4 calls could have been flukes, but it looks like its working great so far).

Thanks again

It should be ok. I never had this issue again after editing that line. Just remember to edit it every time after you flash a ROM

Update:

It's been sometime and the modification has definitely fixed the microphone issue in the headphones cord. Overall, the phone is pretty stable, i get odd reboots here and there but nothing major. I've yet to address the volume fix, its still not a major problem for me.

Thanks again

cm-11-20150105-NIGHTLY-ville.zip download link is not working and I could not find any mirrors. Can someone post a link to the latest CM 11?

Thanks!

This isn't exactly what you requested, but I think this is close to what you want. This is his link to a 2.15 CM11 rom:

Does anyone have the last official nightly release of CM11 for the HTC One S? My latest one is CM11-20150105 and I can only find CM12 roms to download.

Any help?

I'm stuck with the exact same problem. All cm-11 nightlies have disappeared by now and I'm looking for some fixes after M12. The plan was to still have at least a weekly cm-11 until a cm-12.x milestone or even a cm-11 M13 but it doesn't appear to be happening.
I would love to get my hand on a build after 2015-01-11.

Development for ville has moved to CM12.1 and there are no longer builds for CM11. Probably the old ones have been removed as they were taking up space

Just go two posts above and you will find a link for 01-19 build...

"Official" was the key part in the initial request. There's too many builds floating around in which people make changes with their own preferences again.
This looks like just another custom build again.

It makes no sense what you are saying, if the latest build on CM webpage is 01-15 or something why are you asking for a newer "official" build?
"official" means that it was build by CyanogenMod buildbot... I can sync the source, make no changes, build it and it will be exactly the same as you get from CM page but it will say "unofficial" because I built it on my PC... It doesn't mean that it's a custom build, for example I make builds for HBOOT 2.16 and I do not add anything on top I just cherry pick the commit which makes the ROM compatible on HBOOT 2.16 and that cherry pick is not custom made by someone it's actually made by CyanogenMod team. Obviously if you don't want to install a ROM that was uploaded by a random person it's a different story...

It makes perfect sense to me.

For the date: I'm still on M12. Fixes have been added after 2015-01-11 which I need in order to have a better functioning phone again. Hence the search for a build based on the sources of 2015-01-11 or later.

As for the "official" build: yes, that build might be a clean build based on the CM sources, but there's no way to be sure. You can't tell that based on a file name. It wasn't even a build by the one who posted the link here. That one might include changes I don't want for all I know. I can't trust it so I prefer a CM build by CM.

... I can't trust it so I prefer a CM build by CM.

There's no such thing. This is what FLYER was trying to explain you. After that date, CM buildbot has stopped building CM11. So only builds you can get are the ones build from source by someone. If you don't trust such builds your only alternative is to build them yourself

After what date? He did not mention any exact date as far as I can tell. He only used 1-15 as an example the way I read it. I do not know when the nightlies stopped, when the last one was build. Judged by http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/the-l-is-for-lollipop it could very well be 1-5 but it also talks about "we are also moving CM11 builds to a weekly status (every Sunday)" and I can't tell if that ever happened because not a single cm-11 nightly can be found any more.

I'm on mobile right now so search is a pain...but in the CM12 dev thread it's a post about the start of official cm12 nightlies. Since then, cm11 was not build anymore by cm. You could also look for the first cm12 nightly if it's still available. Anything prior to that date was cm11

Why not just try a cm12 or other custom rom? I build Cyanide and is damn close to flawless. I don't really get the " I can't trust it" part. If you want a rom you can "trust" revert to stock.

I.e. my concern was valid, it does contain additional changes.

I guess I'll just take my chances.

Because you don't know what changes were included, by who and how stable they are? That doesn't say the build IS bad, but it CAN be.

I don't really get why I have to justify myself this much for just a simple request. A clean late build of cm-11. Personal preferences, paranoia, whatever reason, does that really matter? If someone has it: great! If no one has it: bad luck. That's it, no harm done, time to move on.
You might not have any objections to a random build, fine, that's up to you.

The fact that I mentioned my findings in this thread is to inform others who might go download the build. They might have similar objections. At least now they can decide for themselves knowing what kind of build it is.

I could name a dozen of changes that broke our builds during the time, changes that were included by official CM team. So those builds can be bad as well, they're nightlies. People here just tried to help you, giving what they have. If you're not trusting or not willing to flash those builds, as you say...bad luck
