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 fixedMy 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 thatIt'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 accessand touch "download files and apply ad blocking" button.
And then reboot system
3- open viper4android and allow for installing drivers

5- and then reboot![]()
