Hangouts Video Calling on Lollipop ROMs [T700]

I've bounced around a number of different AOSP/CM12.1 based lollipop roms lately and Hangouts video calling seems to work on none of them. The app opens up and sends messages without issue, but when I try to make or accept a video call I get the error "Sorry, Hangouts has stopped working" or something like that. The app doesn't crash, I just get that message and the video call ends. I've tried this over the last few months on various versions of CM12.1 official nightlies, BlissPop, SlimLP, and AICP. I haven't tried a TouchWiz ROM, because, frankly, I've no desire to stay on it even if it works.
To make sure it wasn't something silly I was doing (and to get the functionality back) I just flashed an unofficial CM11 ROM and it works without a hitch.
Is this a commonly known problem? Is there any fix I can do? Any ROM you can recommend that doesn't have this problem? I'd love to be on lollipop, as I've gotten rather accustomed to it, but this functionality is one of the reasons I bought the tablet. Thanks!

I wanted to chime in and say that I'm having the same issue. I am unable to make any video calls in Hangouts on any rom besides the stock rom. I have tried multiple roms from [ROM][6.0.1] Android 6 - Marshmallow and [T700/T705/T800/T805] [5.1.1] Resurrection Remix v5.5.9, following the directions on wiping everything, newest bootloader...
Any help would be appreciated!
Edited to add: I have also tried multiple gapps from nano to the graphical installer.

Audio lowerings itself

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with the N5X since I bought it. First thing I did when I bought it was to root it and change the ROM, of course. I installed BlissROM (don't remember which build) and ARISE Mod but everytime when I started playing a song (or when someone called me) the audio always started playing loud (as it should) but after a second or two it would lower itself (not the volume steps, just the speaker sound). At first I thought it was a problem with the ARISE mod so I tried without it but the sound was terrible, so I tried changing ROMs and I found that Resurrection Remix with Arise works without problems (the audio works perfectly). But now I've got the same problem if I try to update the ROM (I'm using 20160616 build) the audio starts lowering itself again and I'm stuck with Android 6.0.1 because of it. Can somebody tell me what is causing the problem so I can fix it ? I tried different ROMs, different kernels and different versions of ARISE without luck and I'm out of ideas. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance

Umm, is there a compatibility chart with ROMs for ARISE? I use something different and that's Viper4Android that works slick with all Android M ROMs.
Suspect an issue with ARISE.

Yup, I tried V4A without ARISE, no luck.

Try going to TWRP Advanced and fix se Linux contents which does se Linux enforcing which will be needed for some mods.

Sadly, didn't help.

Loudspeaker and screen rotation

Hi Guys!
I already posted this in the specific SM-G935F thread, but maybe my two problems are not device-specific and some user of other phones had this issues or have an idea what cause my problems.
After searching in the internet and many forums I think that I am the only person in this world, who have this problems.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F/hero2lte)
Important: These two problems don't occur with the stock rom and everything worked.
I tested this by installing the original samsung rom (Android 6 and 7).
Also with Superman-ROM these problems don't occur.
Only with LineageOS and RessurectionROM (based on Lineage) I have this problems.
What I did (or not):
- ODIN: Installed latest version of TWRP
- TWRP: Installed SuperSU 2.83 and "dm-verity-disabler"
- TWRP: Installed latest LineageOS-Build (Full Wipe) + latest GApps (Pico) + addonsu-arm64
- I did not install any other apps in Lineage
- I did not change any settings
-> I have a clean version of LineageOS on my phone.
Problem 1:
During calls, when I turn on the loudspeakers, I can hear the other person, but I can not be heared by the other person anymore.
Then I turn off the loudspeakers and everthing switches: the other person can hear me now, but I can not hear the other person.
When I'm turning the loudspeakers again it will switch again (I hear the other, I'm not heared).
And so on, and so on ...
Problem 2:
Screen rotation from portrait to landscape mode ONLY works with the gallery and the icons of the camera.
In any other app (Browser, Messages, Settings ...) the screen stays in portrait mode.
And yes, I checked in the settings if screen rotation is active.
I found a solution with the app "Rotation Lock Adaptive", which automatically rotates the screen how it should be.
But that is unsatisfactory, I don't want a additional app to do core-function.
I don't believe the problems occur due hardware issues or what do your think? Beeing on stock rom everything works fine.
Greetz,
Isenberg

Really nobody has an idea what could cause my problems?

I have not
I experience the exact same problems. Flashed lastest stock-firmware (excluding system & data) and the latest official lineage os.
Sometimes rotation works, but most the time not.

Laggy video playback and no audio

Hi all, after I flash any rom (ressurection remix or lineage os 14.1) video lags in YouTube and there is no audio when it does play. Also Spotify has no audio and same with Facebook videos etc.
This is obviously a system wide thing so if someone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it as I can't use my phone for what id normally use it for. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the same problem, only I am using stock rom 9.2.3.0 can't find any reason why this happened. All videos stutter with no audio. Before I updated to newest release it was all working.

Sorry for the late response but I have the solution worked perfect for me. Follow this and then reboot.

He means build prop editor too.

I have the same problem with LOS 16.
Unfortunately buildprop cannot find an attribute called audio.deep_buffer.media.
What else can I do?

Same problem happened to me yesterday (didn't hear the alarm clock cause there was no sound ). I'm on the same version of unofficial rr16 from 4 months and this issue began yesterday. If i reboot the phone the problem disappear for some time, then comes back again.
P.S. i don't have audio.deep_buffer.media in my build prop too

Lol you saved me. I am using a miui gsi right now, I also didn't have the prop. Simply download a root explorer like mixplorer, go to /system/build.prop and open it with text editor. Then add: audio.deep_buffer.media=false

xt-1922-9 no sound from speaker, tried all custom rom and cannot flash stock rom, HELP PLEASE!

I tried all custom roms possible and no one have sound, only with earphones.
I'm pretty sure it's note mo phone defective because was working before and didnt drop on the floor.
Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same phone and have discovered the same problem after flashing any of the Android 11 custom ROM. No sound from speaker/ringer/media (except headphone jack). I found one suggested solution here, the last reply to the AOSPK ROM thread. The solution was to place 4 files into vendor/etc. I tried that and sure enough I got sound back with those ROMs but it broke the phone call function, couldn't make calls, dialers just ended call as soon as I tried to connect. Maybe this will work for someone else. Maybe someone else has a better solution. I'll try just replacing one file at a time and see if I can figure it out. If you find a solution let us know.

Oh and the easiest way to get back to stock is to use the Motorola Rescue assistant tool here. Just put your phone into bootloader mode and the Motorola tool will detect the phone, download the latest stock firmware and restore the phone.

Okay, I found the fix. From stock I installed AOSPExtended ROM from the Moto G6 Play forum. Initially everything seemed to work but no audio.
The fix reported in my last post, linked to the Telegram group was:
"For sound, add these 4 files to vendor/etc"
mixer_paths.xml
audio_platform_info.xml
audio_platform_info_jeter_p0.xml
mixer_paths_jeter_p0.xml
"
Copying all 4 files caused audio to work but cell calling broke.
Copy only the first 2 files without 'jeter_p0' in the name and audio was fixed and nothing else broke. Happy now. I assume this will fix the same problem with all the Android 11 roms I installed that caused this problem.

I'm a n00b so I hope you can please excuse my ignorance but how did you copy the files to that folder? And how did you get the files from the source? Also does it fix the rotation? as I have a rotation problem as well
OK its within TWRP didn't know that, file manager
