So as the title says i've Unlocked, installed CWM and Rooted my 816 which is Dual Sim.
I then installed the unofficial CM12 from Grarak,
while mostly the rom was fine for me, i just couldn't get over how it sounded, especially at max volume.
There was a lot of distortion and extra sounds going on. I tried the Official CM11 , but had the same issue.
I'm wondering if there's any third party app or flashable software to make it sound like it does on stock?
EDIT: I'm also experiencing network issues, such as Network search coming up with an Error and finding 0 networks. It really bothers me since my carrier supports 2 networks, 1 free and the second is charged,
Automatic just seems to switch to the charged one a lot.
Thanks for your answers

Without HTC's audio drivers that are built into sense ROM's the auido will be very sub par.
As far as your network issue's I have no clue.

Thanks for your reply, i was thinking along those lines, but thought maybe there was a workaround this issue. Well it's not that bad as long as i keep the volume a few steps below maximum.
I just hope we get some official support for lollipop, because i freaking love it so far.
You should try flashing audio mods such as xLoud or a mod that has many other audio aspects.
I currently have a 7.1.1 rom running on my SGH-M919 (w/TWRP), but I am curious which 7.x.x rom you guys think is (subjectively) the best.
I know 7.x is new and there will be more development in the future, but as of now - most liked/stable/etc?

I am very happy with the SlimRom 7.1.1. I had problems with the RR Nougat based and went right back to Slim. The Slim downside: video camera and MMS do not work. Also we have no developer.
edit: I have no use for the video and MMS, so the SlimRom is my favorite. I would recommend it.
Im using lineage OS jftlexx and has a bunch of problems 7.1.2, using baseband m919nuvufok3....
First and worst ongoing problem is network drop, modem drop due to kernel issues on 3.4.112 kernel.
other are minor, headphone jack routes phone call audio but cannot hear the party on the line. reinitiating the call fixes it,
bluetooth reconnects every 1 hour... by itself...
no audioFX or Xposed Modules

Did you try in any other baseband? Because in the latest fqa1 baseband the SIM card and some sensors do not work in the LineageOS..
I noticed a couple days ago I was getting really slow hotspot speeds. So for the last day or so, I've been testing ROMs and flashing ROMs.
Roms I have tested are:
Omni ROM 8.1 Oreo - hotspot does not even work
Nitrogen run 8.1 Oreo - hotspot does not even work
Freedom os 8.0 Oreo - very slow speed 1-3Mbps
Freedom os last nougat version - very slow speed 1-3Mbps
Stock oxygen os 8.0 Oreo stable - very slow speed 1-3Mbps
Beta 30 oxygen os Oreo - very slow speed 1-3Mbps
Beta 24 nougat oxygen os - hotspot works normal and speeds are normal
Given all these roms and flashing I've done it boils down to this in short...... If I use the beta 24 nougat, it works fine, of I use last stable nougat or above it either doesn't work or works very very very slow.
Everything phone side works fine, speeds are great. Any of the os above, be it nougat, 8.0, or 8.1 works fine without issues, no app closes nothing, but hotspot is just utterly painfully slow.
Carrier is T-Mobile. This isn't a carrier issue or hardware issue otherwise it would do the same on all roms and it does work on the one nougat oxygen os.
So my question is, what changed from the one nougat, to the other nougat and above? APN? Modem? Both?
I'm at a loss as to what is going on.
Any ideas I can try?

Idk mate, but I'm from the UK and I have the exact fkin problem for the past year. I haven't found any explanation or fix for this. I'm on Three UK. My only theory was that maybe my carrier is intentionally slowly down my speed, indirectly telling me that I have to buy hotspot allowance.
Nope I just did a test. I reverted back to a beta of nougat, beta 24. When I test that I get around 24Mbps, when I jump to the last nougat update, or anything Oreo, and this is with any rom even stock, I get crap speeds. I am SO pissed right now, because this same issue in 2016 plagued the 3t, and now it plagues the 3 as well as the 5, don't believe me go check 1+ forums it's littered with the same exact issue. So.... This issue was back in 2016, and they still can't fix it???!!!??? WTH.
Attached are pics..... Anything you see with high speeds is that nougat stock room. Anything slow speeds is Oreo or the last stock nougat. Any rom be it stock or custom that is like nougat 7.1.2 and above on up to anything Oreo, results in the same exact thing
I've tested this for almost 2 days with the exact same result so considering I have a strong signal and it works on that stock 7.1.1 nougat oxygen os, tells me they either screwed something up, forgot something, or changed something which results in slow speeds and hotspot speeds.
Un freeking belivable they still have not fixed this after 2 damn years.
I might also add that the screens of the laptop are hotspot of corse, and the ones that show different are from the speedtest app on my phone and screenshots of that (the ones that show a dial)
I have tried a number of custom ROMs, Oreo and Pie based. They all have this issue where signal is mostly on zero bars, and it leads to flaky VoIP calls, and low data throughput on LTE. I have read even OOS has this flaky LTE, but it is masked to some extent.
However, I have also heard that some people only have this issue on custom ROMs and not OOS.
• Is there a way to fix the flaky LTE signal, on custom ROMs?
LTE signal used to be so much better, and reliable on Nexus 5, that I never even had to turn on WiFi.

I can confirm that this really seems to affect custom roms more than Oxygen OS. For me this has affected my battery life, and i have a bit of a theory: the way android handles signal is that whatever the system reports as its signal affects what the system believes is the max data throughput (such as if your signal was really a 4G signal but you were being registered as a 3G, Android will only pull data as fast as it can believe a 3G signal can), the power it uses on the cellular antennas ( Less "signal" = more power drain). the reason i have come to think this is because i have been testing this theory on both custom roms and Oxygen OS, and in the same locations with the same kind of usage, and custom roms always seem to suffer the symptoms of a low signal, along with a lower reporting signal than Oxygen OS. This can either be due to custom rom devs using an inferior kernel than Oneplus uses, or its truly due to the signal reporting. i dont believe its the kernel, as this issue has been identical in all the custom roms i've been using (CRDroid, Pheonix, Omni, Treskmod, and even Lineage). now as for a solution....... I'm afraid we might be out of luck most people who COULD help live in higher reception areas so they don't understand how this affects those of us in lower reception ares, so they won't be much help as they don't really care. I can't really help because im in college and have two jobs and can't really afford to take the time to finally learn to develop on android (C++ takes enough time right now as it is)(and even though ive been doing android stuff for 8 years i still havent learned any lawl). and ive looked through our forums and some others and havent really found anything of help to us. If I remember correctly, it seems like Havoc OS would actually do like oxygen OS and "Lie" about the reception, but i dont think its had an update in a while. so i think the best bet is just to keep asking around and maybe someone will see this forum and have some help of some sort.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if reporting the signal like on OOS would help.
I also have mobile data issues, like voice being muted on VoIP calls, when signal drops to 0 bars.
I hope it gets fixed in custom ROMs.
@codeworkx suggested changing the preferred network type to Global, to an user having LTE signal issues on just custom ROMs.
Looking at the network type in phone info, after dialing *#*#4636#*#*, it appears to be LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL).

I'll try this again and see, but before I tried this and it didn't really help. AT&T in my area is just horrible and unusable. when I went to D.C. this last summer i had better service and had none of these problems.. maybe someone will make a magisk module that can fix all this...

After setting the preferred network type to Global, LTE signal and throughput seem to be close to what Nexus 5 used to have, in the exact same area and network provider.
Webpages also seem to load a tad faster. I will still keep an eye on the signal today.
I second this. Have been using AEX for a while now and the signal issue persists which makes me want to go back to stock OOS. I get a max of 2 bars and battery life has taken a hit with SOT of 5-6 hrs on average, before it would be between 8-9 hrs. It's a hard price to pay for all the customization but I feel I'll go back to stock so that I can have better call/signal.
I have tried @codeworkx's suggestion but that didn't help much. Hopefully there's a solution soon.
Yeah me too have that issue. At 1st I thought that the tower nearby my area is not proper. But it's the issue with custom rom

What network type do you guys have? I'm on at&t, and I'm gonna try fiddling with apn settings and other stuff and see if there's anything I can figure out, I'm wondering if it's a frequency thing that custom roms struggle with.

Updated to AEX 1.9. Network has improved a lot. I've currently set on Global and I'm getting LTE on Airtel India. Connectivity is on par with stock OOS. If you're on AEX, I'd recommend the update.

Thanks for pointing that out. I looked at the changelog for AEX 1.9, and stumbled upon this change:
https://gitlab.com/APOPHIS9283/frameworks_base/commit/7eee9cb50155c01f03d76f050dd956c9a16abefa
It seems to precisely deal with the signal bars. I guess it's time to request other ROM developers to include this commit in their ROMs.

Found more about this. Apparently Xiaomi phones also have similar signal issues on custom ROMs. Fix is the same as above, but there are other ways of implementing the fix.
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/01/22/x...tual-cellular-signal-strength-from-end-users/
Edit: Apparently Samsung, Google, LG, Xiaomi, OnePlus and possibly other manufacturers have this change made in stock ROMs!
Carbon ROM has a few commits related to fixing flaky LTE signal, that are not the same as ones mentioned above.
Carbon ROM may not have LTE signal issues, too. It needs to be tested though.

But this would only change visual representation of signal what about change in actual signal
I forgot about the testing menu accessed by the activity launcher (I'm using AOSiP) and I changed two options: set my radio band country (in the 3 dot menu) to America, and also changed my network type there to LTE/UMTS (PRL Auto) . The network has been slightly improved, but I may go try AEX and see if it's better there.
https://repo.xposed.info/module/me.hbc.ltemobilesignalfix
Made an xposed module for Android 9 Pie to make the LTE signal behave like on stock ROMs. Apps that optimize behaviour based on Signal Strength tend to actually work better with this. This module should work on all custom ROMs, that do not have this already enabled. (Tested working on AOSiP 9 official)
Apart from most OEMs enabling this by default on stock ROMs, some mobile carriers also enable it on their end.

Can you make it as a magisk module that works systemless ??

This cannot be accomplished using a magisk module. However, you can use this xposed module systemlessly. Install riru core and riru edxposed (yafha) from magisk manager.
Then you just need to install edxposed installer, to manage your xposed modules.

Hi, I flashed the latest PE+ GSI recently and have been pretty happy with it, but I'm having issues specifically with receiving SMSes and calls, only when I'm in 5G & connected to a 5G network (if I send an SMS/make a call it goes through fine on 5G). Mobile data works fine.
If I switch to either 3G or LTE, calls and messages can be received and sent as intended.
I have the dual-SIM model, SM-A528/DS.
I have "Automatically restart RSI" enabled under phh Treble settings.
I'm using the stock kernel, had updated to the latest OneUI 5.1 update before I switched over.
(don't think these should matter but just in case...)
I have TWRP installed.
I don't have Magisk installed (specifially had it installed for a bit, but uninstalled it to get my banking apps working - was facing this issue with Magisk installed before as well)
I'm passing SafetyNet as well as basic_integrity + device_integrity (not strong_integrity)
It's not a terrible deal-breaker, but I am still paying for 5G with my mobile plan and it's a bit of a shame to not be able to use it.
Is anyone else facing this issue? Any possible fixes I could try?
(advance apology if this would be better off under a different thread, I don't usually post on XDA - sorry!)
A bit off topic, but there should be a PE/LineageOS, and other Roms getting release quite soon on a52s, as the developer from A52 4G got this phone and the rom he's building only needs some small bug fixes, so GSI won't be necessary soon.
