Hulu audio slow, running CM6 8/14

I was using Hulu with the flash player hack, and it was working beautifully. I have been running the nightlies for a while, and I can't tell what changed. But now when I try to use hulu, the audio is so slow the voices sound possessed!
I found some users in the Incredible forum ran into the same issues when an audio fix for froyo was applied to their rom. But one user posted solving both problems.
Has anyone else run into this? If so have you found a fix?

Yeah I too have this problem

That's actually where I got the hack in the first place. I un-installed it and installed it again today, and I am still getting the same result. I even flashed back to a previous nightly build, the only one I had a nand backup for, and same problem.
I did find this in the incredible forum,
just add this extension to the URL at the top showthread.php?p=7712210, and check out comment #73
His solution seemed a little over my head, but would something like this work for us?

any simple fix for evos?

Did anyone ever get a fix?? I'm having the same thing

Try turning off dsp.
Sent on the go from my HTC EVO

Disabled dsp still a no go..it's weird the ads sound fine once it gets to the actual video it messes up ..thanks for trying. Any other ideas?

I have tried everything. There is an updated "fixed-flash" in the forum where I found it the first time. I uninstalled my old one, re-booted, and then installed the new one. Couldn't get it to work.
I tried using the hulu.apk, which is really just the Hulu bookmark widget from hulu.com. I tried running it through Dolphin HD, I tried it through the stock browser, and I got the demon voices almost every time. There were few occasions where commercials would come in fine, and one time the actual clip played with normal audio, but 90% of the time, I am getting slow audio.
It seems like in the droid incredible forums, they are discussing this more. I found this from a dinc forum.
This is how I understand it. Google changed something to the audio streams for Froyo. Apparently catering to a newer technology called stagefright I believe. But, this made Pandora, Slacker, and other audio only streams sound like an old record player. So, Google released a fix. Adrynalyne posted that fix early. But it seems that this "fix" only fixes the streaming audio for those music apps and sites. But it caused a delay in the flash audio from sites like Hulu. In regards to this, there was a droid incredible forum talking about a ROM called SkyRaider. I wonder if Cyanogen used the same fix.
"SkyRaider incorporates adrynalyne's audio fix, which was released by google, which as previously mentioned fixed the AAC streams. The side effect was that Hulu and other sites were getting "devil voice" audio. So basically you could either have one or the other, not both.
Prior to the audio fix was an alternate fix where you changed a variable in the build.prop. This fixed both aac (ie. Pandora) and did not distort the sound in Hulu. The only thing affected was a slightly lower quadrant score. No decrease in performance, just a lower score. Personally, I'm still using the build.prop because I don't care about quadrant scores and my phone works properly in all aspects. Again this fix is rather old school now so maybe a better alternative has been cooked up but it's what I've been using for quite a while with no issues. "
Does anyone with more experience than me know what that means? Can this be applied to the Evo?

There don't seem to be too many people interested in this post. But for those that are. I did try editing the build.prop file using a root explorer. It didn't work. I will post if I find anything that does.

Yea I've been trying to fix this for 2 weeks now..I even applied skyraders fix to see if would work crashed my phone..I keep posting and also no buddy seems like there interested in it..i would love tofix this problem cause now it's become a obsession..I've tried and have gotten nowhere..ill give 10 bucks to anyone that can fix this for me!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7880766&postcount=6
After researching this for a while, I've found the only way to do this is to disable Stagefright. Hopefully this won't be a permanent thing. Follow the instructions in the above link. Pandora and Hulu seem to BOTH be functioning properly on the newest Cyanogen nightly after applying this fix.

The Cause of this issue?
I thought I post what results in Hulu sound running slow for me. Hulu works great when I first flash MIKSHIFT v1.0 for the HTC EVO Shift.
When I start having the slow sound on Hulu is right after I do a wipe of the user data (System Reset). It does not matter if you do the system reset from within "Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset" or if you run this from within clockworkmod recovery.
After the reset and installing the huku fix apx the issue with the sound appears.
So it seems that doing the reset is causing something to be changed that causes this issue.
Please let me know if anyone has found a solution for this.

I use flash just fine all you have to do is sideload it and use a 3rd party browser and flash works just like it did on ICS and websites didn't suddenly decide to use flash most sites are actually migrating to html5 and have the option to choose the flash version or html5 version of the site. Be glad you don't have an iFail they've never had flash and you can't even sideload it to get it working:thumbdown:

Flash works just fine on stock browser. For most sites I visit anyway. Pm me for the flashplayer.apk I use.

sounds more like a flash player issue than an Android one. You can side load Flash Player as at least one person has stated; one even offered to send APK.
The problem, flash player hasn't really been updated for ICS and beyond. It will work. In my experience, how well it works on sites is very dependent how that particular site encoded their flash content. I've had where video plays fine until I go full screen, the picture disappears but I have audio. And Adobe is no longer giving any support for the mobile flash player; maybe if there is some critical security issue to fix it.
What you can try to do is trying using different browsers that can use Flash Player such as Boat or Dolphin. I use Boat for flash sites. I only go to limited sites for those needs. I couldn't get Dolphin to open, but on the Evo 4G is was most flash friendly (gave the least problem in regards to flash player). There are a couple others browsers. Too bad Google didn't want do it for Chrome since I like how it works on the desktop version.
I'm not familiar with any of the aninme sites. There may be altermatives to use. You could trying use Plex and book marking the videos you want to see on the desktop. Then later you can load the Plex Android app to watch it; works well unless there are commercials and they use a different feed; it doesn't switch back to the main video. You could see if the sites lets you downlaod the video and play through a media such a Google Play, BS Player, Mobo Player and so on.
As for Gingerbread, you're going to need custom rom that someone will probably need to make from the ground up since no variant was released with it. Then there are the carrier specifics for drivers and radios. It's a lot of work that I don't think many users would be interested in using, which can have a major influence on developers taking the challenge. People want the upcoming Android, not stuff from two years ago.

Hmm Ok Thanks

I've noticed an issue on stock TW (LK8) where flash sites cause it to fail loading and then crashes the browser. Restarting the browser get the page to load.
But keep in mind that's not the direction that the internet standard is going. Flash as a video tool is being phased out as HTML5 standards now support most of the content that Flash used to - without Adobe having to absorb costs of development and support for Flash Players across the spectrum. Some sites will take longer than others to make the transition... but there are always other sites out there.
And for general info - whether it's TV, Anime, etc. - I recommend downloading a (legal) copy over streaming whenever possible. Sure it takes a little longer to plan and get the files... but then you get a better quality viewing experience and no lag - no matter how many times you watch it!

[Q] Using Tiny's CM10.1 rom and Netflix issues

Hi, rather new here so I can't post in the thread on the developers board. Thought I'd try here. I recently flashed Tiny's latest CM 10.1 nightly rom and I really like it so far. There are a couple of issues but after messing with it for a while, it's mostly smooth and works well. My biggest beef, aside from those couple issues is Netflix. The app loads and I can select a show, but when I try to load a video, I just get the red loading screen that goes on forever until I hit the back button. I tried an older apk, and it wouldn't load, period (1.5.2), which I guess is to be expected when running Android 4.2. I tried 2.1 and I got the same issue with the red loading screen. Tried loading it in the browser and I got the usual page that tells me I need a certain browser for it to work. The app worked just fine in the official CM 7.2. Is there an option in settings I'm missing or something or does it not work on this rom (which I don't see why it wouldn't)?
Other naggy issue is epsxe. It works alright but if I press a volume button, it either increases or decreases all the way and all buttons freeze. Nothing works. Home, menu, power button, touch, etc (yet the emu keeps going and the music keeps playing). Sometimes when I press an on-screen button to move, it's like the button gets stuck and the character keeps moving in that direction. I have to remove the battery to reboot. Did not have this issue in cm 7.2.
Other than that, awesome rom and thanks, Tiny, for working on it.
EDIT: Well, I just tried using epsxe again and it even worked when using the volume button. Not sure why it worked except that I let the game load for a bit before pressing anything. After that, it worked just fine. So, I guess it may be even an app issue on 4.2, rather than the rom. Hope Netflix is as easy to get working.

Netflix hasn't worked on JB or ICS. Known issue since day one. Probably won't be fixed as it's not a high priority in the overall picture.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

Well, that's disappointing. I really like this this rom but Netflix was one of the biggest reasons to keep using this device. It's mainly used as a tablet now and I don't want to buy anything else right now. Funny thing, Netflix was the only reason I didn't switch from Windows 7 to Linux. I figure, if I'm paying them every month, I should be able to play their vids on any device I please and it irks me that I can't even get it working in the android browser. Oh well. Thanks for the quick response.
EDIT: Well, I did some research and found that Netflix 1.81 seems to work to an extent. I get sound and subtitles but no video. Going to look into it some more.

It works on better supported devices on ICS and JB. The issue here is the codecs and hardware support / drivers which will not be fixed for now. Just confirming its not androids fault or Netflix's.

So no amount of tinkering with older apks and workarounds (to make it so the app uses older netflix video players) will work because the rom/hardware simply doesn't support playback? I was looking at some other threads and google and a lot of people seem to be having trouble getting Netflix to work on 10.1 and Android 4.2 in general. Seems when the app detects Jelly Bean, it uses its newest video player, which has some problems on some devices. Forcing it to use an older player seems to work for some people. Adding a line to the code to make it use player "6" instead of "10" or something. Haven't actually applied anything to the app to try it because I'm a complete novice at this.
You're the expert and I assume if there was an easy method that wouldn't screw anything up in the CM 10.1 build, you'd apply it. I do appreciate the work you and others are putting into these roms and other than this Netflix issue, it rocks. I may go back to CM 7.2 after a bit but I'll definitely keep an eye on your updates and try them out.

EDIT: I tried the Xposed app workaround, by the way, which did not work for me, using 1.8.0 (thought it was 1.8.1 but wasn't. Plan on trying that next) or the newest version. I realize that these are different devices, but I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work on ours. I wonder if there's a way to trick it into thinking it's Gingerbread instead of ICS (in the thread) and using the player that works on CM 7, if it would work?

I don't have a netflix account currently (had it and didn't use it), so I can't do much testing but based on the link you showed me, the app should work fine. Try the init.d script linked in the github in the thread you posted. Are you familiar with pushing files to your device? You just need to copy it to /system/etc/init.d and add execute permissions. Usuaully I use read-write-execute for user and read-execute for group and other.

The xposed_init file under assets? Can't say I've ever tried this before. I know how to add files to that folder, but no idea how to copy it to a file or whatever that would work. Don't know how to execute permissions either.
Looking things up, I can't just add a file to my sdcard and use ES File explorer to add it to the init.d folder? I copied one of the files on my desktop and opened it up with notepad. It sadly didn't help me. Like I said, total novice with android here or this stuff in general. Would like to give this a shot though. Do I add the text to notepad and then delete the .txt or do I need to make a .js file? As for permissions, do I just add r rw and x to the file?

Yeah, you can add it to notepad and remove the .txt at the end but it uses different line breaks in Windows than what Linux uses so the script may not work right. I'm not sure though. The worse thing that can happen is nothing. Android doesn't use .js which is Javascript. For permissions, yes that will work.

Tried it. Not sure if I did it right. Most likely not. lol But in any case, it doesn't work. Getting a bit tired, so I may just relent. I'm sure many who are more experienced have tried already.

Just curious: If your primary use for your old Dinc is as a portable Netflix viewer, then why not just flash back to a stable GB-based ROM and enjoy?
Seems that would be a lot simpler than trying to get Netflix to work on JB, especially if you're not doing anything with the phone that requires JB.

I like Jelly Bean. I like how it looks and feels. It's a more mature Android. Plus, I like keeping up to date with software. It's kind of nice to have 4.2 running on the aging, yet good o'l Dinc, when some newer devices don't even have 4.1 yet officially.
Also, I got it working, by the way! Before, when I downloaded the newest one onto 10.1, it would just continuously load when picking a video and not work. After tinkering, I got it to play sound but no video. I could tell that the video player was different than the one I used on 7.2 (also, the newest app). I switched back to 7.2 for a bit and downloaded my apps. I backed everything up using Clockwork mod so I could go back to it whenever. Then I backed up all the Apps with Titanium Backup. I switched back to Tiny's 10.1 and restored the apps. I tried out Netflix and it worked. It was using the same player it used on 7.2. I don't know if it detects Jelly Bean when you download it from Google Play or if it does it when you sign in to your account. When I restored it, I was already signed in, so maybe that's it. At any rate, it works.

Well, I spoke too soon. It did work for the first few videos but then stopped. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the Titanium Backup, but when I try to choose a video, it says I've been signed out. I sign back in and I'm back to the forever loading red screen. So yeah, I think it detects which OS I'm on as I sign in. Just a guess though. Just shows that it has nothing to do with your ROM aside from their newest player not working properly on it. It can indeed be fixed via the software with some tinkering.

Can you check the value for int name="nflx_player_type" in /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/shared_prefs/nfxpref.xml from a working Netflix in Gingerbread? Easier yet, pull that file from your Netflix backup from Gingerbread for me. Check for passwords in the file and clear them out before giving it to me for security.

Yes and it didn't work. Then I tried "6". Didn't load. I tried 9 again and for whatever reason, it loaded. It works just fine now, using the same player it did in 7.2. The kicker is that I check the XML file again and it changed somewhat. It now says "6" and it looks different. I believe the Player line used to be before the Logged in line. Now the logged in line is last. If there was some way to force it to use 6 every time, even when logging in, we'd have a working netflix app on your rom.
Maybe "old app version=17" is the key, I don't know.
EDIT: Exited the app. Still works. Rebooted the phone. Still works. There's no log out button, so I assume to log out, I need to clear data, which I assume would just put me back at square one. Seems to be working fine now, as long as I stay signed in. If I somehow have to sign in again, I'll check the xml file.
Attached the file. Just edited the user id part.

Well, it was working. Then it quit. I checked the xml file and it had switched to 10. Didn't sign in or out or anything. Tried the 6 file and it immediately switched back to 10. So, I uninstalled and then installed 1.8.1. Replaced the nfxpref file with the one I backed up and it worked. Funny thing, it's actually using an older version of the player. I believe that may actually be "6". In cm7.2, it said "9" and was using a newer version of the player (newer than the one I'm using now). It seems to work well so far. Haven't tried updating from this yet, to see if the newest one works by updating, but I doubt it would work anyway. I did notice that in the shared prefs folder, there's only one other file with the nfxpref file. In the newest version, there looked to be about six or seven other files.

Watching this with interest, if you guys figure it out please post a guide and link to it because you're not alone. My Netflix stopped working when I upgraded to 10.1 as well (interestingly it worked fine on my ICS One-Click ODIN Rom that I got last June, not CM) and this was the first thread to pop on my google search as I've started looking for answers.
*UPDATE* Got mine working using the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101525

Haven't tried updating from this yet, to see if the newest one works by updating, but I doubt it would work anyway. I did notice that in the shared prefs folder, there's only one other file with the nfxpref file. In the newest version, there looked to be about six or seven other files.

Screen off during calls
Just installed this for a friend yesterday. While she is on a call the screen turns off and stays off. She has to pull the battery to end the call, is anyone else experiencing this behavior? She downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and the app showed that it wasn't working. I'm assuming that these may be related.

Keyboard Changer
Thanks dev for providing us with LP 5.02
Was running the 0105 build before the 0118 came out. Clean flashed the 0118 build and I was not able to change the keyboard, it keeps FC.
Main reason why I want to change it, is because the stock AOSP keyboard doesn't have swype typing functioning. The option is there (gesture typing) but it doesn't work. I would have to install the google keyboard and use that for swype to work.
Also, probably not a big issue but the google play movies & tv doesn't work.
Great ROM thus far though, thanks!

Failed to flash
I was trying to flash up from 4.1.1 is there extra steps I need to take? I also have a 4.1.2 modem.
I got it flashed after updating twrp. Next question is there a task manager? How do I close open apps?

I love the look of this ROM, but every time I flash lollipop on my T0ltetmo, I get Google TV and Movies force closing repeatedly. Has that been fixed in the new nightlies? What can I do to track down the issue?

T889 Note 2 constantly rebooting
I have just installed the ROM on my tmobile Note 2, and everything was fine except for the fact that is constantly returns to the android splash screen.

System profiles bug
Any chance you guys can fix the system profiles bug where WiFi fails to turn on if the profile also turns on Airplane Mode? I think you inherit it from a CM bug (BACON-1188, can't post a link) that has been ignored for a few months now.
I'm pretty sure the fix is as simple as moving mAirplaneMode.processOverride(context); up by ~10 lines in doSelect(Context context) in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Profile.java (line ~750) , but I can't currently get 5.0.2 to build at all so I have no way of testing.

My experience after a day on Nameless
I was running a stock Samsung Android 4.3 ROM on my Note 2, which had become so slow and unusable that I finally took the plunge and switched to Nameless. Here my results:
Used TWRP 2.7.2.0 without any issues
Followed the instructions on the OP for wiping and formatting
I used nameless-5.0.2-20150201-t0lte-NIGHTLY for the ROM
And gapps-lp-20141109-signed for Google Play
The whole process went really smooth, and everything came up fine the first time. I was ready to claim victory until I decided to add a second Google account (I keep two separate accounts, one for Personal and one for Work).
Right at the end of adding the second account I suddenly started getting dozens of Google Play Movies & TV has stopped working popups. First they came really fast and then slower and slower until the Note 2 eventually froze up and I had to take out the battery to restart it. Once the system had booted up the same thing started again, Movies & TV endlessly crashing until the system was frozen after about 1 minute.
The third time around I managed to quickly navigate to the Apps settings and disabled the Movies & TV app (since you can't uninstall it). Before I could finish it froze up again but this time after restarting it was good again. Interestingly it didn't actually disable the Movies & TV app, but it looks like it had wiped its cache, which must have been enough to get it back to stable mode. I have a feeling adding the second Google account synced something into it that messed it up. However, on the Work account that I added there are no Movies or TV shows at all, but my Personal account has some.
Just thought I should share this since it doesn't seem anyone else mentioned it on the thread yet. I'll post again if I hit any other issues. This is my main phone and Android device which I use all day long, so if there are issues, I'll find them
Thanks a lot for providing this ROM, other than my small issue it's like a billion times faster and better than before, awesome!!

Does anyone know how do I get the headset volume higher? It is kinda low. Everything else seems perfect in volume.
The ROM is perfect!

I had the same thing, but was able to fix it by wiping the cache for the Movies & TV app in the App settings! If that doesn't work for you and you don't really need the app, you can also Disable it in the App settings, which should keep it from trying to launch.

Day 2 experiences
This is a follow up from my previous post with day 1 experience after installing this ROM.
I've been seeing some graphics rendering issues which have led to the device freezing up requiring battery pull
Sometimes when scrolling in Google Chrome the bottom of the screen looks all scrambled, but refreshes and looks fine once I stop scrolling. No lock-ups from this.
Games that play video ads are my #1 problem. If I'm lucky the video ad will play but the colors look all messed up, a mix of black and white and green flashing. If I'm unlucky, the video won't play and the device freezes up instead.
Any way to fix this?
I also had an issue with the keyboard Gesture Typing not working, which I resolved by installing the official Google Keyboard app from Google Play and use that instead of the Android Keyboard (AOSP) that came with the ROM, even though they look and work exactly the same and have the same settings. And even though I didn't have any issues, I did the same for the Google Camera app, where I installed the Google Play version instead of the built-in one, even though it looks and works exactly the same.

This ROM is awesome! I waited until last week then made the jump, thought I'd let all you "release freaks" deal with it first. Except for a couple of crashes in the first two days this has been very stable. Everything works for me.

You can use the AudioFX app to boost the volume for your headset, that's probably the easiest way if the regular volume control doesn't go loud enough for you.

Thank you but I already tried that by turning up the EQ to the highest. It's hard to hear someone if the surroundings are loud. I have been using the speaker to get by at work.

NamelessRom 2.0
Why is there no OTA update integrated within the settings. This Rom is great one of my favorites. We as users should be able to get quick fixes and updates as soon as they're released. The quicker we can get these updates the faster we can help make this better, faster, and truly more efficient.

Otg is not working and screen cast is not working . any fix available ?
Update:
screen cast will work through Chromecast app but will not when using the toggle .
Otg works but device must reboot to use it the second time

Are there any kernels with sound mods . I tried boeffla control but it stated , not supported .
Update: AGNi pureCM OC v3.0.3 works great it's found in the N7105 forum

Gear S wont pair to Samsung Gear App
I installed this rom on my phone and I have a gear s and I have read other posts trying to get Gear app to work on Lollipop.
I got the app installed successfully, but every time I try to connect the watch to the app, it says "unforuntalty, HostManger has stopped"
What can I do to get the watch to pair up with the app?

ambiant display
this question is for those running the latest version of this Rom (31/03/2015). has anyone gotten ambiant display to work with this update?

Laggy scrolling in browser

Is anyone else have problems when scrolling web pages? My phone laggs pretty much in browser. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Problem can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jttoOoC8k_Q#t=00m07s
Loaded page is http://m.monitor.hr, browser is android default browser (but same problem exists in Chrome).

it is probably a lot of advertisment content inside
in my G4 is same as you - laggy

Yeh, I've had lots of problems using chrome on some web pages. Seems to be advertising.
I'm now using Opera, which runs smoother for me.

@johnny8910
if you rooted already you can use adaway app
which is adblock - very pleasant function to me

It's totally smooth here using UCBrowser (rooted + adblocked of course) :good:

It's driving me crazy, especially because I'm using desktop browse agent. I desperately need root+adblock, tried the adblock plus without root solution didn't work well.

Tried that page on mine. it's as smooth as silk with no lag at all.

Thanks
I have it installed and updated, but still get some issues.

Thanks for you replies guys.
It is true that page on video is loaded with adds, but by my old Samsung Galaxy S4 scrolls it without problems same as my 7" Alcatel tablet bought for less than 40€.
From your replies it seems that some of us have this issue and some not. I'm considering to ask for a replacement unit because I tried other unit in T-Mobile center and that one didn't have problems with laggy scrolling.
Will try to do a factory reset and test it again (shame because of lost time for settting it up).

Hard reset did not solve the problem I think I will try to get replacement tomorrow.

Will wait few days for update. Tried to update it yesterday but already on latest version.

Sorry to necro this thread, but this link might help.
I can't post links, so just Google "10 speed hacks to make chrome faster"
Basically,
You can use chrome flags to give chrome access to more memory and other thing thing that help chrome scroll smoother. Just got the lg g4 and giving chrome 512 memory seemed to help.

Firefox is laggy in scrolling, also when rooted and adaway installed. Opera or Chromium is very smooth on my G4...
