Develop Bugs

Testing help required!

Hey folks, I've had a report from the Play Store that my app is crashing on Glides, but I can't get a log from the users. If any of you would be so good to test out the function and see if you have issues, and then grab me a log of the crash, I would be really grateful.. Will increase your thanks meter of course.
My app thread is here and the latest release is in post #3
When the app opens there is the option at the top to go to Android TTS settings. Apparently, clicking on this causes a crash.
Thanks in advance

Thank you. I'm wondering if the problem is only with stock, unrooted, but there aren't too many of those on XDA..!

Indeed. Right when I opened the app it requested su access.
Btw, good work

Thank you If root is detected, su access is requested for advanced functions. Full busybox commands by voice are in the making!

I downloaded the one from the appstore and that one is working well as well. Got it to learn my name and tell me the time and toggle WIFI on and off. Working fine so far. Yes it does ask for SU. No crashes so far. Is the beta any different?

No problems here. Runs smoothly and recognizes commands.
Running stock rooted.

Tested it on a used Glide I just bought and haven't had time to root yet. Running stock 2.3.5 that was factory reset a couple of days ago. No problems accessing any menu or sub-menu item. Guess I just haven't had time to put enough crap on it to make it unstable.

Thanks guys, it's appreciated - strange that the crash can't be replicated - there must be some other issues on the devices that are having problems.
The beta release is still a while away and will contain many more advanced features for full device control by voice. It's strange bug reports like this that slow me down! At least I can move on from this one now.
Thanks again, your thanks meters have increased.

Maybe the user who posted about the crash removed the Pico service

1 one feature I would love to see is the ability to add something in the calendar via voice. I hear Siri can do that and would love to see that on Android.

I should have code to catch that and stop the crash - Why I'm even more puzzled that a crash could happen at all....

This feature is working well on my test devices - it'll make an appearance in a couple of releases time, after I've had chance to test it on multiple users calendars and multiple calendar apps.

Ok I just tested my theory. With Pico TTS uninstalled it tries to open settings, which freezes and FCs, and it dumps you right back in your app. Your app does not crash. Honestly if this is the bug, I'd say it's user error and not your fault.

Good work Thank you. I assume the crash also may extend to the Pico engine (or perhaps any other) having installation corruption of some kind.
Thanks again to everyone who replied and tested, it's really appreciated. I think I can safely say 'not guilty!'.

Quality or volume?

First off, thank you for your contribution. Second, you need to read the rules about posting. Seriously. There's a format for posting in dev forum. Please include details of the mod.

I notice no difference...

What's this do exactly?

"reboot and enjoy"... Enjoy what?

I will need specifics before i mess with something. What is this modifying?

Lol Its a volume booster mod actually. Increases heaphones or speaker volumes. Already a topic in themes & apps section.

Not really... i took a quick look and it seems the values for headphones are the same as the original file

And here I was hoping this was an eq/quality mod with viper or something...

Hello bro!
Is it a bit louder or you feel a good difference? Can you compare with htc loudness?
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app

I did it and the rx1 to rx8 values to be 94?

Only difference i hear is static when someone talks on phone calls.

if I'm not mistaken the in call volume is this:
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
I changed mine to 34, but do not head a difference

SMS Wake up Screen

Hi guys,
I was wondering does anybody know how to keep the stock SMS app from waking up my screen every time I receive a message but without disabling notifications for it? Or is there a tweaked SMS apk? I dont want to switch to textra or anything like that I really love how fast and pretty thee stock app is but it really does bother me that it wakes up for every message

One of the major reasons you need root.
They removed that setting a while back. But you can still edit the shared.preferences file for the app to turn it off if you have root.

I have root, how exactly do I get that setting turned off

Root browser
Data/data/com.android.mms/
Edit mms_preferences
Find
<boolean name="pref_key_backlight" value="true" />
Replace true with false
---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------
You can do some other fun things in those preference files for other apps too.
Just make sure you back up the file first if you're going to play around.

You're welcome.
Can you list the folder here for others?

Replace true with false
Reboot.

I have are 2 non-root alternative options for people who find this thread with the same issue.
1: use Google's messenger app instead, it works just as well as Samsung's but without waking the screen.
2: enable pocket detection and either keep your phone in a sleeve/pocket or facedown (option somewhere in display settings, don't know the exact name/location because I don't have my note yet and only saw this in a display model a week ago)
this will immediately turn the screen off again if it wakes up while something is covering the front sensors.

Is there some 3rd way? I dont want to root my phone, last time i rooted it i lost like 2 days searching for something that actually WILL root my phone and second, when i finally found a program that could root my phone, IT installed like 10 apps on my phone and it was korean or something like that i just got back to stock 5.0.2 after a LOT of trouble and this thing really bugs me..
just dont want my screen to turn on when sms arrives..
Also, when i was rooted i tried to find <boolean name="pref_key_backlight" value="true" /> with no succes, is it okay to just ADD that line?
cheers

sound in-call!

I've been using my OnePlus3 for over tow months moving from Galaxy Note5..
I'm really satisfied with OP3 sooo much and missing only tow things from my N5..
the first is sPen but not that big deal as I almost forgot it!
but the second is in-call sound!! on OP3 it's almost "unhearable".. while there is was loud as you can hear even if it's far from your ear.. I've made some searches and edited alot of .xml files with no luck...
anyone have a solution for this?? it'd be so appreciated!

Sorry for this late replay due to personal problems...
Well when I was on CM14 I couldn't achieve high in-call volume.. but when I changed to H2os changing mixer_pathes and mixer_pathes_tasha gave me a very high volume.. so I think the problem was in cm14 or something wrong I did in the first time...

Yeah it's a known issue with cm14 ROMs at the moment.

I am facing the same problem, this problem started after updating to community build 3.5.4 which has not been fixed in 3.5.5 even after reporting to them. One more thing I have observe that call quality get improved if we move the handset away and put on the loud speaker. Thing needs to be fixed on priority

edit root/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change the value (default is 84). 95 is the new high value (look for <path name="speaker">).
<path name="speaker">

Stock S9 - What've you done with yours?

Hi, im a new owner of an Exynos S9 and i havent rooted/played with Magisk yet as im not quite sure yet if i want to loose Samsung Pay and the other one i cannot remember . Im coming form an S5 that i tinkered to hell and back with so atm im at a loss as to what i can actually do on my stock s9 to improve my experience. Ive installed Nicelock which is pretty neat but there must be afew other tweaks/edits to be done. If you have something that you've found particularly useful - please share it. My hope is to get a nice collage for stock users who dont want to root just yet.
Thanks!

1. rooting it will lose sammy pay, knox, warranty
2. i've been using lightrom, which is nicely debloated
3. nicelock(goodlock) is pretty much the most you could customize without root. multistar is the ultimate enhancement for me
4. there is a certain debloating list somewhere that could debloat safely without tripping knox, not sure if updated to pie
5. there is also speaker tweak to make the earpiece speaker louder

I think 4 & 5 requires root?

One hand operation + for gestures is amazing, I can't go back to buttons now lol

I can confirm that NiceLocks has some nifty stuff but most are not for me. One handed and multistar are the most useful id say. I found the debloating tutorials but these are not for Pie it seems, as i tried to remove bixby but it didn't do anything. Could anyone send a link for the speaker tweak?

@b0uncyfr0 @Geez83
sorry the speaker tweak isn't something official. I did it with my own edit to <mixer_gains.xml>.
You find the file in "/vendor/ect".
Inside you'll find something like
Code:
<mixer>
<!--
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="15dB" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Right Gain" value="15dB" />
-->
<!-- Output volume stage -->
<!-- media playback volume -->
<path name="gain-media-handset">
<ctl name="Rcv Digital Gain" value="16" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="3dB" />
</path>
<path name="gain-media-speaker2">
<ctl name="Rcv Digital Gain" value="52" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="15dB" />
</path>
<path name="gain-factory-media-handset">
<ctl name="Rcv Digital Gain" value="16" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="3dB" />
</path>
<path name="gain-factory-media-speaker2">
<ctl name="Rcv Digital Gain" value="52" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="15dB" />
</path>
<path name="gain-media-speaker">
<ctl name="SPK Analog Right Gain" value="15dB" />
</path>
<path name="gain-media-dual-speaker">
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="15dB" />
<ctl name="SPK Analog Right Gain" value="15dB" />
</path>
Just change the numeric value to whatever is suitable to you. Increment the dB by 5 or risk blowing your speaker. BTW speaker2 means the earpiece.
Rmb to backup. Not sure you could do it without root.

works perfect for me on S9 Exynos (Last Pie update/bx action 5.31).
have you tried the full remapping with the computer ?

Yep you're right, worked after running bxactions on PC. Thats one ticked off the list at least.
I think i can use adb to do the sound mod but never done it like that before.
A debloat list for Pie would be awesome - perhaps ill write one as i couldnt find any

Use a different launcher maybe? I use Nova, and it's great.

Stock seems to provide 90% of what i need. Most important was accessing the app and killing it, i remember older touchwiz home launchers did not have this. Unless there are other things that i'm missing out on , speed - nifty features?

I've never used the latest versions of TouchWiz, so I can't compare it with Nova in my case. But, check this link for details on the latest version of it, there's some really good customization options you may like.
