[PATCH] ICS Call echo FIX + [potential] car dock audio fix (Update II - 04/30/12) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

FOR AT&T LEAK BASED ROMS ONLY. NOT FOR CM9 or gingerbread!!!
Hi all,
No more call echo
This fix uses the proper T989 audio parameters so noise suppression actually works like it should (car dock should work too in theory). On top of that is Samsung Diamond Voice Engine which really makes calls sound great.
It fixes the issue at the core, within the audio libraries. The audio paramaters and noise cancelling routines now work as they should.
UPDATED
I think I finally fixed this f$cking issue once and for all. For real this time. Try out the newest update I have attached to this post (Diamonds.zip)
This patch is a breed of libraries from the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Blaze. It took me a very long time to put it together. But with a lot of work and hex digging I found the perfect combination.
I don't even think T-Mobile's ROM is going to sound this good
You might still have to turn down your volume a notch if you have a troublesome case, but I am going to make a bold statement and say that this should fix the problem for a 90% portion of you
Also--by its nature--this newest patch should fix the car dock audio problems. I can't test it to confirm. Please let me know if it does.
Report back with results!
Devs you are free to use. Credit is all I ask I spent lots of time on this and not enough time working on a project due tomorrow >_<
To the kind folks that donated to me in the past few days. thank you and I will thank you personally and address my PMs too. Been on and off the grid because of finals.
Cheers

Dear sweet baby jesus yes!! DLing, gunna see what happens! ur the effin man, seriously.

I've made two phone calls yaldak and asked if they here an echo. They both said no..
1st call was w/ case
2nd call was w/o case
Before it was hit and miss for me some ppl would complain if echoing bothers were not..
So far so good brother
Edit 1 : have not had an oppurtunity to test compass.

Good to hear. Compass is still broken in this version
Did 4 test calls myself. All reported no echo.

great work my friend!.. i love your rom. and your fixes.. rotation, facebook font, now echo ! great!

I think TDJ already fixed this issue you should ask him for help if he'd be willing to share.

I know people keep saying he fixed it, but if he did. I would expect he would have released it. Unless he is doing the community a disservice and trying to squander the fix for him self only for glory or what ever other reasoning.
Also to the OP. What do the display firmware in /etc have to do with the audio echo? and i understand you're trying to fix the compass so is that why the sensors lib is in there?

Based on his new ROM being a beta I think TDJ is testing a fix same as Yaldak.
Hopefully they both work.

The approach used in the Darkside ROM is different. I did a library comparison to verify it.
While the approach should work because it appears to reverse the noise redcution switch (hence why the TDJ says to keep it on), this approach fixes the problem at its core--audio library side. Noise reduction will work exactly as it did in Gingerbread. Some people in that thread are still reporting the call echo issue because the audio paramters are off in all of the Skyrocket-based roms.
A LOT of work and experimenting was done to narrow it down to this one stupid file.

There is no display firmware. That's sensor firmware. This is preliminary work toward fixing the compass, as such it is a work in progress. It's not a beautified patch just yet

A beer will do my friend

I had echo before and using NexusMod.
Made calls to a POTS, VOIP, and another cell phone.
These people had complained about the echo before and report these calls sounded fine.
Thanks and great work.

Hey Yaldak,
I'll test this out on RomChicago tonight, which is based on your base.
As far as the compass goes, I didn't even realize there was an issue with it until now. I'll check the parts bin to see what works.
This is why I use your bases, because you da man.

I don't see why not.

test it with the new darkside ics rom before and after and people reported to me the they had an echo..
not only that when im back to gingerbread people says that they dont hear an echo but they hear my voice like im coming from out of space

Darkside's ROM has another approach to this issue....so that is probably why.
It is also likely that--since you had the issue with gingerbread--your phone might be defective. My GB audio was crystal clear.
I'm up to 8 phone calls (2 incoming 6 out) in which the recipients reported no issue.

Is it difficult to apply this? Just asking cuz I never applied a patch. Switching roms, navigating thru root explorer, etc no problem.. but I don't want anyone wasting time explaining it if its something you believe is too complicated to do so. I'd just love to have call echo fixed so people stop telling me about something I already know. Never had call echo on GB. (I have tried the search but with how many posts there are with 'how to' and 'patch' in them its quite difficult and easier to ask)

Weekly ICS ROM Updates

Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.
I like the idea
+1 to this idea!!
There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.
Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????
It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.
Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

[ICS PATCH][CWM] Dear XDA, I present to you...the rotation fix :)

ONLY FOR ICS LEAK-BASED ROMS
ONLY FOR ICS LEAK-BASED ROMS
If you have Gingerbread, don't read further!!
Auto-rotate! :-D
Specifically, this fixes the accelerometer issue altogether. Its a deep fix, going down to the driver level. So games and camera work too.
This should work on all ICS leak-derivative ROMs, including my own (and will be baked into my upcoming release).
Long story short, this was made possible due to the ATT Galaxy Note leak (a cousin of the T989)
In theory we can now start pushing out functional ICS ROMs. But there is still the pesky call echo issue, looking into that.
Feel free to include it in your ROMs...although I do ask for some credit since I spent countless hours in the past few days investigating and investigating. My eyes are sore
Warning: Please make a NANDROID backup prior to flashing this.
You never know what can go wrong.
There is no need to clear Dalvik, but I'd do it anyway if I were you.
This file needs to be flashed with ClockworkMod
So you can put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, and install it.
Be careful though. Make a backup first. Always make backups.
IMPORTANT
After installation, remember to:
1) Enable auto-rotation on your launcher / whatever you prefer. Remember we had a little era of no accelerometer so its a little bit foreign ATM
2) Calibrate your Gyroscope via the Settings -> Display menu
confirmed
working on racing's original ICS leak!
camera settings menu isnt retarded no more and pictures are the right orientation w00t
downloaded bubble level in the market and sensors are working perfectly
nice work yaldak, will be waiting on your new rom release, sing racings right now cuz video recording is broke in ravers, see if u can improve the call echo

Works perfect. no problems during the flash. Just make sure whatever launcher you are running has the auto rotate turned on.
Everyone thought that this would be a problem only source could fix... Congratulations on proving them wrong
Can someone else who hasnt applied the mod download android sensor or something else that will interact with the gyroscope.
It seems like its working in reverse. left and right seems to control for and aft.
I could be crazy. So I would like someone else to confirm.
Try to calibrate it.

We don't all need to be alerted when Joe Shmoe writes "thank you". We all appreciate the hard work of the devs - if you want to show your appreciation, keep the threads clean, or better yet, send them money/buy them a drink, if you are so inclined.
Thanks for your indulgence!
Confirmed working on EasyDoesIt. Awesome work!
this is fantastic. Was hoping it would fix Instagram, but it doesn't. I guess there are more issues with our ICS ports than just the auto-rotate. But we're getting closer!

[ROM][CWM] Newest ICS UCLD2 leak - new: Facebook/Sammy KB Patch available!

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak, and ks0 for bringing it to my attention (this is why i love IRC. join our channel!):
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/
*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*
*IT ISNT WORKING WITH THE T989 JUST PERFECTLY YET. But it boots and is pretty functional. Seems far more stable than last leak. *
The purpose for it is to be used in development.
I took it, extracted it from the oddball ODIN oneclick package (<3 win hex) added su and busy box and that's it.
UPDATE
Flash these three fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:
Auto rotate fix
Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup
The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard
Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
Netflix works perfectly over wifi
Video recording perfect
Browser MMS and Email much improved
ROM is very smooth
Shutdown works
Didnt have anywhere to upload it so I made a torrent.
Please seed or mirror.

Don't think its the modems fault actually.
I've been using a Telus modem on ICS this whole time and have been told many times that the caller echoes. Fairly sure it has to do with the audio libraries.
I'd love to try it right now but I have nobody to call
UPDATE:
Tried one caller
Call echo exists for me =(
I'm going to try blending audio libraries from the Note in the morning

no problem. yeah bigger thanks to him but i would have never found the rom if it wasnt for u posting it here. its a bit slow right now but once its done i will just let it seed. idk how long that normally takes though. yeah i tried only one ics rom to see if i had the echo issues and i did so i went back to gb for now till its fixed. but still good job for fixing the auto rotate though.
Thanks
And especially thanks for seeding
Hopefully this fixes a lot of other issues.
no problem. it will be awhile before its done since its downloading at 90kb/s lol. yeah i hope it helps all the developers out. im gonna crash out since its 3:15am here in cali. i will let the download seed over night. later

Rate should go up soon as my comp back in Chicago is about to start seeding this, and the download is almost complete for a friend who was kind enough to seed
im at 62% and it says about 30 mins. if im still up i can upload it to my account over at hotfile.com and share the link. its the free account so i can only upload 400mbs which is perfect for me. idk how fast the rom will download using that site but its worth a shot.
Edit: 91% getting there lol
So far this feels very smooth.

Possible solution to the echo problem.

I recently used this method to return my phone back to complete stock so I can return it to T mobile. After I did this I had no echo, on either ends. I hope this isn't a redundant post, please don't yell at me, or call me names.
I am posting this hoping whatever is included in this stock rom can be applied to future roms to fix the echo problem. I ask that if you have the echo problem to please try this method and post weather it works or not.
I have not written, nor am I taking any credit for the attached link or its contents.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359#
Thank you All!
It is known and a fact that the echo is a software issue not hardware, due to the fact of ics roms are a port from the skyrocket, with no kernel source nor tmob ics modem the issue will persist unless devs find a tweak to fix it

The point in this thread.
I assumed because the echo went away after using the above described method, that it was a software issue. The reason I am posting this is because there are some very intelligent people on this forum and I know that someone can apply this to future roms to fix the echo problem.
The point in this thread is to prove that it is a software issue and get some developers to take it serious and apply whatever parts are needed to make this damn echo go away.
Thank you!

I agree, I appreciate all the work the devs do and they are doing a great job, but it seems that many people have the ICS echo issue. Is there any way we can make this one of the top problems to solve? And is there anything that those of us that are having this problem can do to aid in fixing it?
With all respect to our developers, it seems that some are more concerned about looks, theming extra features like battery icons, toggles etc, when i hardly see the effort of fixing the real issues, maybe it sounds easy as i say it and have no right to address it this way since am not a developer, but i dont care about tuch jizz aosp as long as the rom is fully functional or at least close to i, meaning, no echo, no shut or reboot issue, fix permissions, gps and signal, video rec and play, Bluetooth, sms and contacts, thats more important than ****s, giggles and unicorns.

Known ROMs with working phone mic?

Are there any known 4.3 or 4.4 ROMs with working phone mic?
I've used CM 10.2 Stable (4.3) and Carbon Rom (4.4.2). Both work great, the only issue is that the headset is not usable for calls (low mic output). My solution for now is using the earbud/mic, but I'm curious to know if anyone has made progress on this. Aside from this, the various ROMs are near perfect for my needs.
I'm not very knowledgeable on the details of writing ROMs, but would any type of source code release from LG help developers solve this? Curious to know what the main hurdles are for the devs and what tools they need.
Thanks.
Wish I could tell ya but I don't have a headset with a mic. I'd say give AICP a try since it uses AOKP sources instead of CM. Might give ya a better outcome.

Still no luck on a solid working phone microphone (low volume on other end). And the search continues.
Now that mid March has come around, has anyone had any good luck with a working in call microphone?
I was previously using several 4.4.2 Builds however, the need for a working phone mic was too critical for daily usage.
I'm using a 4.3 build (Slim Bean) which I believe is the only one with a working phone. The build is an unofficial beta and the only real issues are lack of microSD function, FC on Google Drive, and a few freezes here and there. Overall it's usable for my needs but would like to get back onto 4.4.2 granted the phone mic works.
Any suggestions/advice would be great. Thanks!

I don't know much, plus i am still on stock but i will suggest you to ask your query and issues on particular custom ROM posts. i have seen people getting response faster and if in case there is a bug, high chances that developer of that particular ROM can fix it :thumbup:

Thanks. I ask because this is a problem has existed on all known roms since 4.3.1 for the E980 on ATT. Never been able to get a straight answer anywhere so I figure I would generically post it. I have reached out to some devs but not luck.
Any success on your searching?

Here is a manual fix for the in call mic from JustinNL on XDA:
Step 1:
download a "build.prop editor app", I used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
Step 2:
Modify these 2 specs in the build prop editor
persist.audio.handset.mic.type=digital --> replace digital with analog
persist.audio.dualmic.config=endfire -- replace endfire with false
Since i changed it i haven't had any complaints so far but flashing to new nightly makes it revert again, keep that in mind."
Been working great for myself and others.
