Pandora audio fix?

Has anyone come up with a fix for Pandora's terrible sound quality with froyo? I did some searching but didn't find anything.

Yes, most of the latest ROMs and Kernels already have implemented Google's fix for it-- just load up any of those.
Alternatively, you can disable Stagefright manually-- see this thread for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745320
It's not the same as the Google fix, but it works...

I have bakedsnack and kingx installed and pandora sounds like crap. I'll look into disabling stagefright, thanks for the link.

*sigh*
Kernels aren't going to do jack. It's the ROM which has the problem. The only ROM I've seen that actually has the Stagefright patch is CyanogenMod (RC2, Nightly, and Final). Really. Go try it.

I tried cyanogen for 2 days and hated it with a passion.

I'm running EViOs v1.1 froyo rooted and noticed Pandora was sounding like crap. I went into settings and saw there was a new setting for audio quality, it was defaulted to "Normal", so I changed it to "High" and all was good for me.

Sorry but thats not a new setting and it has nothing to do with the quality issue that started after the froyo update...its stagefright that came with froyo...
I have tried the fix for non-rooted users and it did not work for me unfortunatly... Is cyano's the only rom with a fix?

The leaked 3.28 spint update definitely fixes the problem. Disabling stagefright *WILL* fix the audio, however your camcorder will also be broke.

or do what I did, go back to 2.1

The latest Fresh ROM has the streaming audio fix. When I first installed it, I thought it hadn't worked, until I realized that Pandora installed itself with a default of normal quality instead of high. After changing it to high, everything was golden.

I dunno, I just tried that and it didn't seem to work. Pandora still sounds like garbage.

Pandora Fix Zip
I had a file named "Pandorafix" but deleted it somewhere. I'd like to find it again. Although I cant say it worked. I would like to find a fix for pandora. Some roms are better than others. Jamies RSL1 Dark Cocoa seems to be best for me so far.
So here is the file I found a few months back- I'm gonna try it tomorrow and see if it works

yes, in the thread that you downloaded the ROM from. for future reference, I would read the post of the ROM you flash before flashing. It usually contains useful information such as extra files you flash after flashing the ROM. actually in your case, when you flash the ROM it actually tells you that it created a .zip file that you were supposed to flash after booting into the phone once.

if your talking about the gfx fix, that was for b1.1, i am running b1.1.2. It doesn't put any other zip files on my sd card and I have went thru hundreds of pages in the thread i downloaded the rom from with no luck of finding the fix. the gfx fix does not work for my problem. this is nothing on the paperclip in that thread either.

unfortunately there is no gallery playback. you can try a video player from the market but if im correct there isnt any cam playba k. i can see the videos i recored just havent had luck playing them back since b1

Alright. Thanks. Didn't know if anyone had found a fix for it yet. I use V player from the market till someone figures this out.

I honestly dont look for it to get fixed until the kernel source code is released

I think I'll live without it being able to playback from within the gallery. At least it does record.

CM 7.2 RC1 officially

So I saw through Reddit that they were releasing this for like 70 devices. Anyone try it? How similar is it to the various KANG builds we have for our device?
I'm downloading now, so ill post my thoughts.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA

so far it seems to be very similar to the Kangs. It does feel a teeny bit more responsive than those others.
The low volume on call bug is still present, but flashing aeroeven's .8 kernel fixes this just as it does in the KANG builds.
I didn't experience the multi touch issue that seems to be plaguing some users, but for what it's worth i didn't experience it on the KANG builds either.
The keyboard didn't stick for me while typing at all. i spent about 5 minutes typing random words into an email and it didn't stick once.
Edit: when logging into I heart radio the keyboard was sticky as hell.
one thing i've noticed is that once the market finally switches to google play, the label says Market, but it has the play icon.

excuse a newb
So I downloaded and installed 7.2 but when I try to add a new account to sync, it says it cant connect to the server. Ideas?
Also, what is this flashing kernel to get rid of low in-call volume?
Thanks!

I'm using the .8 bfs at this time with good results, but you can use the cfs as well. Either will work, just different schedulers.

and....im a moron and just never flashed google apps. rom works perfectly.

I personally like kangs release better than this. I use swiftly x for my keyboard, and many times it lags when I type. Opera Web browser doesn't work for me, which is the browser I prefer. Long wait time switching between wifi and 3G. These are the issues I am having. Yes I wiped everything coming from kangs build before flashing this. I tried "fix permissions " and even uninstalled and reinstalled the apps that were misbehaving, but nothing has fixed these problems.
Sent from my DINC2

I tried the official build but it wasn't surprising to me that the most of the same issues that plague all cm7 builds for this phone are still present and the custom kernels don't really help to fix the problems. Im just going to stick with sense some more until cm works some of them out.

What do you feel is missing?
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

A fix for the use of wireless tether v2.0.7. The overall feel of cm just isn't there. Its not quite as smooth as I remember and I really hate that when I listen to music and try to do other things it causes the music to lag for a second. The call volume was still very low which I figured would be something they would address but they didnt. Wireless tether app not working is pretty much a deal breaker for me though. I have to use my phone for my home internet and the hotspot just isn't a very reliable connection most of the time and its very annoying to get disconnected and have to reconnect constantly.

I found RC1 to be more stable than the last stable 7.1.0.1 release. Everything works for me including wireless tether, and I have not had any stability issues. The compass issue is also gone, which is a welcome change for me. (Trying to navigate Boston on St. Patty's after a few green beers via a compass that always points the wrong direction was not particularly easy.)
The only thing I have noticed is that the FM Radio will force close periodically if a notification noise chimes while I am listening, but it did that on 7.1.0.1, too. However, on 7.1.0.1, it would require a reboot rather than simply reopening the app. All in all, I'm pretty stoked. I am looking forward to stable and CM9 (hopefully) down the road.

I have been in search of a good kernal, but aeroevan's link on rootzwiki aren't working. I was running Skyraider Zeus but just switched to CM7.1.0.1 and was going to try the Tiamat kernal, but just saw that 7.2 was up. Any thoughts on whether I should switch to 7.2 and where I can get the aeroevan kernal if the link isn't working?

You better belive we will have a stable version. HTC has announced that we will get ics. And cm is still being developed for our phone despite the fact that they will have to redo a lot when the right drivers are released. Looking forward to it. Hopefully the camera won't suck.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA

I'm not doubting we will have a working version I just don't see the really awesome versions until we get an official release or a leak. I'm going to hold out on an ics until something official comes out.

I am using the factory tethering option at Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot. I have had good luck with that. Is there a reason you are going with this particular app rather than the "stock" option?

I have read HTC's announcement. I say "hope," because I am going from Cyanogen's "Will [insert device] get CyanogenMod 9?" flow chart (see Ricard Cerqueira's Google+ page). Even with the release of ICS, there is still only a 75% chance. The only devices that are certain at this point are those that already have CM9 nightlies. Given HTC's slowness releasing kernels, etc. and my general cynical disposition, I'll believe it when I see nightlies released for the Incredible 2.

the stock pic&music apps can't find songs&pics in sdcard in cm10?

just the title, any one had that?

yes up

wanted to flashed it but once i saw your thread am having a second thoughts now, it is still in alpha but almost finished and as mentioned in there thread a "daily use", how is it so far and which boot.img did you installed with/without sweep2wake ?

maybe everyone has a little issues here or there,but in general,the other ones feel:it's very good, maybe even for daily use,(read in the forum) ,not every one face the problem(can't find songs &pics),but how does the problem happen ? how to solve it ?

this problem also exists with cm10 for the ville,.. did you hear from any devices not coming from htc with this problem?

You might consider Meridian, my media player of choice for the Android platform. It is very intuitive, excellent features, such as a native digital EQ, etc. You can specify several media locations to search for music, video, etc. It just received an update over the weekend, which helped aestheticly, and the developer is constantly enhancing the app. I'm using it in the gym right now, on the StairMaster. Coupled with Beats Audio, it is unbeatable. Have fun!

nexus s &galaxy nexus had that problem，cause devices which can update or flash rom to 4.1 are not so many, it's a issue caused by the system-jb,i think~ follow the update of cm10 by tbalden, and still no solution~ also little feedbacks about this issue in the one x forum

Could someone please tell me the most stable 4.1.2 rom?

Need to know for a little experiment I wanna try.

Those bugs are still important but I can say that these ROMs already work very good.
Thanks to dman for original work and, lately, to spyke555 and kick who are really doing an excellent job (development was almost dead before they committed and i'm very thankful to them for what they are doing).

He already answered your question, the 4.1.2 weren't ever completed, they were abandoned... hence why the issues in those roms are still present.
Install PACRom 18.2 and then apply the fixes for keyboard etc. I think the fixes are in the litekernel thread. Put on the latest litekernel for 4.1 keyboard fix, lights fix and you'll have the best working 4.1.2.
Note - skype and bluetooth headset still won't work, pretty sure the camera issue with rotation is still present. I ran pacrom 18.2 for MONTHS without any issue except those listed and the wake lag.

I was trying to port something, not use it as a rom.

Skype works for text messages, but received audio in calls is corrupt. The core of the issue is audio playback breaks when an app opens the microphone. (Ironically, the microphone itself actually works fine, i.e. voice recognition has messed up audio cues but it does process what you say correctly.) Current hypothesis is it's a driver issue. Research is ongoing. This is a longstanding issue going all the way back to our very first JB kernels.

This is actually a known problem with Google Now itself, it depends on an instruction set the Tegra 2 doesn't have. The Galaxy R and the Galaxy Note 10.1 have the same problem, on ALL Jellybean ROMs, even official. Bug Google, not us.
There is a workaround: downgrade GNow to a working version (possibly by flashing old gapps), then disable "Hotword detection" in settings. Once that is turned off you can upgrade to the latest and it will still work.

Thanks for the reply but:
1) GPS was not locking for me until I changed the gps.conf file in MOST of the ROMs I've tested.
2) Music didn't work on one rom I tested (now and then the music player started lagging and it automatically stopped every few seconds for a few milliseconds)
3)Thanks for the Skype reply; I was hoping there was some version with this fixed but evidentely not.
4)Camera flips orientation in all the roms I've tested. HDR just worked in 1 of them. Camera actually crashed from time to time in one of them.
5)Oh, sad about the Google Now fact. It's actually one of the main reasons I wanted JB
The skype thing Can't be a hardware issue since I've used skype several times before rooting my device. The issue you are talking about happens on google voice sometimes; therefore I'm guessing you're right on thinking that the problem is on the driver.
I'm very interested in ROM building since I'm an app developer for android and a C++ programmer; yet I've been too lazy to check how it worked. Are the drivers we are using open source? or are we just messing with the conf files trying to get things fixed?

hi,
thread how to compile from source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071542
AFAIK drivers are not open source if they were there wouldn't be so much problems with them. They are ported from other devices similar hw but with code for them.

any news about JB and bluetooth headset issue?
this is the only thing that's been holding me back so far
