Hello everybody i bought this fantastic device 3 days ago and it performs very well...
i've already tried many custom Roms, but the one i like is the stock jelly bean rom, but it has some problems...
the Audio is too low, i tried Volume+ on Market but is not compatible with JB, so do you have any suggestions? any zip file to flash?
the other things i don't like is the auto brightness sensor... it keep the light too low. is there some mod to fix this?
i would like also to Flash franco.kernel with 384oc GPU, do you suggest me? is it possible to fix the other two problems only flashing francokernel?
PS: do you know some trick to manage the status led?

No. Franco's kernel does have an audio boost setting but it's for headset volume only. As for auto brightness tweaking: none of the kernels I tried had a setting for it.

Not a trick, an app: Lightflow.
ok for lightflow, is fantastic!
but someone know how can I improve the autoBrightness and the volume?? is very important for me!
are there any roms that is capable of doing these two thins?

Afaik, several ROMs can. Try AOKP.

Ive read that the One X tends to run a lot brighter for the equivalent setting on phones like the SII.
Is it possible to tune the brightness level that the Auto setting provides, and the external light at which it "ups" the brightness - as in my opinion, HTC's setting, although wonderful, is overkill in many situations, and screen on time needs all the help it can get.
Cheers.

if things aren't changed in ICS, you can decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and then edit some xml's in it. Compile it again with the modified xml's and at last adb push it into the system partition. and this procedure requires a unlocked system partition.
if you don't want to unlock / don't know how to edit the stuff, the most feasible way is to put a brightness widget on homescreen and change it manually.

leedroid, insertcoin and a few of the other roms here have the option to lower the brightness in their tweak settings. If you search for it, j4n87 also created a flashable xml mod that lowers the brightness as well.
Cheers, I saw one on XDA for what I thought was the One S but it must be what youve just mentioned above I think.

Yes, we're on the same page although I don't understand italian . The mods I'm referring to all alter the baseline brightness as opposed to just the regular screen brightness based on ambient levels.
I'm running CM9 which allows you to edit baselines for screen and softkeys, but the roms and mods I referred you to do the same thing with less granular control. j4n87's mod is pretty dim but worked well for me until I switched to CM9. You could always crack open his zip and change the levels yourself before flashing.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595559
Yeh haha I don't speak Italian either just stumbled upon that on featured videos! Erm I knew CM9 had it working, can you point me in the direction of the best build? I need HDMI out but can live without Hotspot (which I believe is the only problem causer?). What's CM9 battery overall before these screen modifications?
I've tried about 6-7 of the roms here, they're all pretty much the same with varying levels of tweaks. I'm pretty sure that HDMI is working on the majority of them.
I love the hardware on this phone but not fond of Sense at all. Looking forward to more AOSP/AOKP based roms. The only available CM9 rom still has some bugs that need to be addressed (Phone, GPS, Camera - all working but with flaws) Battery life is excellent though I'm getting 4.5-5+ hours of screen on with heavy to moderate use using Faux123's kernel.
Is that the CM9 over at Modaco? Or is there an active one here?
That's great screen on time by the way.
Ideally I want one based on CM9 but with the sense Camera, that's all I can see thats worth keeping. Sense just isn't worth the performance hit IMO. It looks pretty cheap, especially with all the colourful busy icons...
Yes I'm using the build from modaco, jdroid is apparently working on a AOSP version and is beta testing. He said that they may release something this week.
How are you finding Screen on times for video playback/streaming by any chance?
Also, have you tried to see if the force dual core app helps?
Ill know myself tomorrow, the phone arrives...!
Hello everyone. I am currently running mROM by mwalt2. The rom itself is fantastic, no bugs, great battery life. However, the trouble I am having is that I don't always hear notifications when they occur. RIngtones are usually fine, but notifications are a bit frustrating. I know this is a stock problem on the gnex but I am trying to find some proven methods that increase notification volume. I am a bit new, but I do know various kernels, have their own sound control support. Does this sound control actually increase notification volume? Right now I am using the kernel that came with mROM, but I was looking at Tiny, Lean, and others. Does anyone have proven experience with any specifics kernels and how they increases notification volume? Any step by step would be greatly appreciated.
Also, has anyone tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1748803 Any thoughts or success stories? Thanks!

Kernel sound tweaks only modify headphone volume.
The simplest solution I can come up with would be to rip the .ogg files out and increase their gain...
Then swap 'em back in.
Thanks for the reply. You're the first to clarify this for me.

1. Put speaker part inside cup/glass
2. .....
3. Victory!
Some equalisers can increase speaker gain, but the downside is sound quality.

I’m wondering if there is a tool or a mod that I can use to change how the notification LED lights up, specifically to increase the blink rate or increase the switched on time of a blink cycle. The tiny LED buried inside the ear piece grill and the way it blinks makes noticing missed alerts almost impossible unless you look at it very carefully. Ideally I would like for it to blink rapidly or the have the LED lit up for a little longer in each blink cycle, I know this can affect the battery, so it would be nice if the behavior can be customized further i.e Have intensive blinking for the first 30 minutes and then fall back to the regular conservative mode to save battery.
A better alternative would be to use the capacitive buttons (back, home, menu) without turning the screen on. My previous Galaxy S1 had a mod which could do that, wondering if there is something similar for One X. If those buttons can be selectively turned on then I guess that would be more prominent than that tiny green LED.
Flash CM10.1 or ICJ to get button light notification.

Latest XM kernels also include BLN (backlight notification). It's fully cofigurable, including the light level. :good:
Plus, it has all the governor tweaks you can think of.
I Don't know if there's a standalone tool for this
but I use CM 10.1 ROM that comes with this tool included
anyway the control is limited to 2 colors (red and green) and 2 speeds , or you can use it to disable the whole light
and still be able to use hardware keys backlight as a notification light
Thanks for the replies. :good:
Currently I’m on Viper X custom ROM. Last year I installed CM10 but wasn't impressed with battery life or camera performance.

Interesting, perhaps I'll try that, seems XM supports Sense ROMs and I found few posts where people have managed to get it working with Viper X. I'm guessing if I managed to get XM kernel working, all I have to do is use BLN app from market ?

i haven't tried it on my hox yet, but i had limited success with it on my desire. htcs are notorious for terrible led notification control and configuration, i think. on my huawei ideos i had it configured exactly how i wanted it, but this is probably impossible on an htc ... actually i found this thread when searching for a solution how to manage my own led problems. but according to the discussion here there is no solution .

viper x works well with xm kernel without a repack, and bln works without any app, just enable it as instructed by xm
Hi,
anyone knows how i can change the vibration intensity of the soft keys? its now too high for liking, making the phone seemed somewhat hollow when i press the soft keys. I think the minimum intensity is also too high coz i cant make it any lower with swiftkey settings too.
Do i have to root it or anything i can do?
Thanks!

if you could root there are amazing custom roms on HTC 10 rom section... i don't like the default vibration intensity but then even before i inserted the sim i unlocked and rooted htc 10 so....
The default vibration setting on the stock rom is a staggering 79% Waaay too high! The best kernel for adjusting your vibration intensity is the ElementalX. Yes, you will have to root your phone to install the EX kernel. The vibration was driving me crazy. Of course, my girlfriend liked it, but that's another story. d'oh!
Using the EX kernel you can do this.....

Wow thanks all for the quick replies!
Can this kernel work with all custom roms or specific ones? i have flashed roms before but never flashed kernels before, appreciate some guidance on this!

EX works with all of them. Just get the EX Kernel Manager from the Play Store and you're ready to roll.

Hi all. Many have noticed that the headphone output has taken a hit with the latest beta. I use V4A and even that isn't really doing the trick. I installed EX Kernel, which does a great job at improving volume... But unfortunately I'm getting phone freezes whenever I join a public WiFi if I use a custom kernel, so I've had to go back to stock.
Does anyone have a way of boosting headphone output above and beyond V4A? I've tried editing the mixer_paths.xml file... But it no longer exists!
Any ideas?

I don't own a 5t so can't really comment on the quality but, one thing I'm kinda sure is that on oreo google shifted the mixer path xml to "system/vendor/etc/".

They did move it to vendor/etc but the there are no numerical values to change under headphones like there was in 7.1.1.
I found it, and thanks for the pointer! I did try changing the values I used to change before (HPHL HPHR RX1 RX2) but it's not working now I'm not sure it worked then either!
Any other ideas m

Only option is the custom kernel with sound control route. Which kernel were you using that was giving you problems?
I used to always edit my mixer_paths_tasha headphone values to 84, playback gain control on slight -1.9db and kept the master output gains at 0 in v4a and that was more than enough volume for me. Now I just run sound control headphone gain at +2, and playback gain control and output gains are still at same levels and the volume is the same.
It's happened on both EX Kernel and Blu_spark kernel... I'm back on stock and will see if it happens again tomorrow. It SEEMS to happen when I'm listening to Spotify and I rejoin a public WiFi that requires login through a splash screen. Yes... It's very specific, and entirely possible it's not kernel related. However, I know that all custom kernels experience some WiFi weirdness (delayed WhatsApp notifications on WiFi only etc.) That's my best guess at the moment anyway...

Try FrancoKernel, I havent had any issues with wifi and the latest update today has wifi fixes in the changelog.
Edit: that is, if your issue has anything to do with custom kernel specifically.
Flashed new kernel 1.16 and downloaded kernel adiutor from playstore. There you can increase the volume

That worked! No problems on Franco (this morning at least) Guess whatever he's done with the wifi module has done the trick
