lost sound on jelly bean rom

First a quick shout out to Albinoman who made the JB rom in question here (I'll put a link to it at the bottom of this post). He did an amazing job and I am thoroughly enjoying jelly bean goodness on my very old and abused incredible.
I should mention (if it helps someone figure out what happened) that the device has been torn apart by myself multiple times to solve two issues: (and for fun)
The first being the display was shattered and had to be replaced,
And the second being that the device had been laid down in something wet for over a week while not in my possession, covering the internal parts with said wet..ness.. (no idea what it was). A few days disassembled in rice fixed the wetness issue and it worked perfectly!
Now I fixed some other software issues it was having (lost root after a failed rom flash) and loaded cm6.1 onto the device, and then cm7.2, and then this JB rom.. in one afternoon....... (gets addicting after only one flash!!). It was doing fine all day with only issues with the camera and Google chrome until I went to mess with the sound settings and went to: settings/ sound/ volumes. When I tapped volumes it said, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." All sound no longer works.. A battery pull, multiple restarts with setting changes, and finally a factory reset later and nothing has changed. Thanks for reading this much too long post. any ideas what I should do next?
As promised, here is a link to Albinoman's rom which I highly recommend checking out.

fixed sound issue
I'm still kicking myself over this.. I put the speaker in backwards.. yep.. now would be a good time to learn how to delete a thread..

btw, many devs, Albinoman included, would appreciate it if you ask questions that are related to their roms, on the rom's original post. just a heads up man.

They would, but there's that 10 post rule here on xda...
@markd: Glad you got it figured out! Props to you for not being afraid to tinker.

Actually q&a is for questions of anything related to the device and the rom threads as I understand is supposed to be only for posts contributing to development of that project but you're right most devs including me like when issues/questions are in the ROM thread.
Hey I got an idea. Remove the 10 post rule to post in dev but not allow creating topics in dev until 40 or 50 posts.

What?????? You make no sense.

I find when I clean flash a ROM after a couple of days it gets really slow and laggy especially on art. Would wiping my internal storage help with that?

I was wondering if anyone is experiencing low speakerphone volume? I read there were speakerphone issues back in August but those have been fixed since. The volume output seems very low to me if anyone has any recommendations (besides saying turn the volume up since it is) it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I try to do that when I come to a new ROM don't know if it would make a difference but as long as you have your data on a sdcard it won't do any harm.

HTC dot view.
So, I've flashed just about ever single ROM possible, slimrom being my last... When really, it should have definitely been my first. This ROM is amazing. Hands down.. The best. Appreciation, thanks, and gratitude goes out to the devs and any/everyone who worked on and helped this ROM become what it is. But. I got a new HTC DOT VIEW case today as a gift... And when I try to install the DOT VIEW app to use it.. I'm prompted with this message 'INCOMPATIBLE WITH OTHER APPLICATION(S) USING THE SAME SHARED USER ID" ..Idk what to do. Sure would suck to have to use another ROM for something so petty. This was a fifty dollar case and I really like and would like to be able to use it. As well as SLIMROM. /:

kexec patched?
Hi,
Is the kernel kexec patched, i.e. will it work with multirom manager or do I need to flash a new boot.img on top of SlimKat. If so, any recommendations?
thx

problems with call/notifications audio being only distortion
Thanks for reading this but I am having only distortion come through my speakers when receive call. Music, YouTube, alarm audio all work fine. Also, ir blaster not working as well. Running build 9 slimkat for sprint HTC one m8 with 4.4.4. Thanks for checking out.

can i use it on my n910p but i am in asia region
I mean this room need to update prl and profile but i not using sprint already unlocked this phone and i use other carier

Love the rom so far but here are a few observations, Can't edit apps in Toolbox when dragging it to "Edit" - right and left capacitive buttons not lighting up at all - I know we don't have an "Edge" but all of the settings are there, will this be implemented in the future? Thanks for the great work so far, I'm keeping my eye on this one.

Only Facebook notifications come thru on my Gear S. It's very weird.

Can someone tell me what baseband this runs? I'm on bob7 alliance and what to know if this runs a newer base. All help is appreciated.

Do the SPen features work on this Port? Lots of people are running this Rom but I can't seem to get an answer.

Don't tell me what to do , This is the Q & A thread - I'm tired of people getting bunched up over eta's - I can understand not asking in the dev thread but it is what it is. And if you'd go back and read, I didn't ask WHEN (Estimated Time of Arrival) - I asked if there was an update as to features the Rom is missing.

I think he just read it wrong.

I am having some random and extreme lag issues. Is this isolated? I have done 4 clean installs and it all results the same way
Is there perhaps another kernel I could use?.

Does anyone from the group of people that released this port actually read this Q & A thread? It seems like people are asking questions, including myself, and not getting answers or even an "We're working on it" - Not trying to be *****y but that's what this thread is for correct? Keep up the great work on the Rom - I look forward to seeing where this goes - Thanks

A lot of apps crashing
Just installed it, and after unlocking the phone a lot of the apps seem to crash. If I try to open them, they crash again. Google Play services seems to be in the lead, as I'll get a message every few seconds telling me it has stopped working.
Also no smart lock. I am not a peasant. My phone should be so afraid of me that it should unlock with a mere look ahaha. Going to do a complete wipe and then try again.

Which gapps did you flash? I've had no force closes with deadmans gapps

Just a couple of things
I'd hate to be annoying as crap about questions like these, when I can just flash it and find out. But:
What kernel are you using? I know AndroidOS is going to be at the top of the list of battery usage because of libhoudini, but I'm just wondering.
Does it also support DT2W? If not, its not a complete deal breaker, but its a wonderful and useful feature being the sleep button being on the top

Not Deadmans, so now that I am, that is no longer a problem. Thank you. The camera however is giving me trouble, but it seems to be a common problem with cm and its variants on zenfone. The only camera app that doesn't crash while using it, even when switching between front and back, is the paid version of high speed camera, but not everyone can be expected to buy an app for a temporary problem.

Just the regular CM kernel. And no I didn't add double tap 2 wake because its not supported natively in AOSP. There's a lot of apps that emulate the feature though

Hey Dev, what are the actual bugs in this rom? I really want to know as specific as possible. I want to flash it in my only daily driver..

I downloaded this build, and wanted to share my thoughts on it (wasn't sure whether to post on DEV section or here, but I think it's more suitable here):
Pros
- Very minimal, no bloat
- Very fast and crisp
Neutral
- Battery doesn't seem any better or worse than previous
- Brightness seems to be much brighter than before on the lowest settings
Cons
- Quite a bit of crashing on Camera (works on one try, then crashes on next, or it crashes on Settings etc...)
- Candy Crush Soda Saga is unresponsive on launch - lol
I personally prefer it over ZenUI, and if the two cons I observed are resolved somehow, then that would perfect.
Anyhow, much props to OP for creating this!

How about doble sim?
Dears,
I installed paranoid android a while ago, but I had a problem with the dual sim (When i rebooted, no sim would be recognized, then when it entered airplane mode, the sim 2 would not be recognized, I had to fisically remove the sim and reinsert ti, really annoying)
Anyone using 2 sims, that can try this in this ROM and give me feedback?

[UNOFFICIAL] Users' Support Thread for AOSP 7.0 ROM

Since the official ROM thread is closed for the foreseeable future, I figured those of us who are running, not running away from, the AOSP Android 7 ROM by @Schischu need a place to discuss bugs, find solutions, etc.
Of course, given the situation, we can't officially recommend the ROM, no matter how much we might love it. So we assume that if you are posting here, you already have the ROM installed, and have read all of the original thread.
Schischu will probably not be helping out with this thread. I haven't even asked him about starting it. I have had no part in the ROM's development, so this is strictly UNOFFICIAL. Think of it as a twelve-step program for those who have been left hanging by this situation. Hopefully some of the guys from the original thread who are real devs will be nice enough to chime in. And, hopefully we will inspire Schischu to return to the development of the ROM and resolution of whatever underlying issues that led to the suspension of the old thread.
I think we should start with a known bug list, and I'll come back a little later and post a few that I am aware of.

My personal bug list:
T-700
·Graphics glitches when changing screen orientation or swapping between apps
·Certain streaming apps (USA Now, Syfy Now in my case) won't stream video
·Slow charging while the tablet is on
·Camera Apps freeze (Stock, better camera) when trying to record video, don't access full camera resolution
·I'll add more if I find/think of any
T-800
·YouTube videos stutter while playing
I may try to keep this as a comprehensive list, but I won't always be able to, so no promises.

What we're the issues that caused the thread to be closed? I'm running it on a T800 and it's been fine. Was it security issues or legal/admin issues?

Update : here's the answer to the question I posed below. Apparently the AOSP MM will not get further develop either. The issues all surround a GPL compliance complaint which the Dev denies. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68673187
I agree and that the thread's close message was rather vague. Is the Dev continuing to support his aosp MM ROM? I may just return to that one (nandroid backup) as the YouTube stutter is too annoying if it won't be fixed for a very long time. I liked the Nexus feel of this tablet over going the Samsung stock route.

Sounds like he's not doing any development on either of them for the time being. I'm sticking with the N ROM for now, even with the problems. YouTube has been fine for me, fwiw.
It's pure speculation, but I have to guess that someone is accusing him of using code from their version of the kernel. If there are usability or stability issues with the kernel, then that's what I'm hoping we can figure out with this thread, and if Schischu does not return to working on it, then maybe we can install an N-friendly kernel from another dev when one comes available.

The MM6 is very stable but multiwindows that any mods can't add on marshmallow is very useful on a tab. I use N7 on my t800 with the bugs (yt bug too ) but for me when I update to a new Android version and use it for a while, downgrade is very hard I will continue use N7 anyway and hope to see schischu coming back for a simple reason is that he's roms are very popular.. future will tell us

So you gotta love this, I have tried twice to send the dev a PM regarding the closing of the other thread, once with the app on my Tab S, and once just now on the web. Neither message shows up in my sent items. Is this normal?

On my T-800, I have the following minor issues which I have not really tried to troubleshoot (with the exception of #3):
1) graphical glitches on rotate and power off
2) not able to see all widgets provided by one app - specifically BeautifulWidgets - I can scroll through their widgets, but it stops half way through one icon and doesn't scroll to the rest
3) I was experiencing about 25% less battery life relative to 5.0.2 (I didn't try MM), but this seems to have settled down now and I'm getting close to what I saw on 5.0.2
4) GPS appears to get location, but GPS Status App seems limited to 4 satellites and does not indicate a fix has been obtained
5) I have a hard time getting into Recovery mode - the power option built in the ROM and Quick Boot app - both reboot to recovery goes to black screen and frozen tab - have to do Vol Down - Home - Power combo to get it to come back alive, but it comes to the Download mode screen. If I cancel out of Download mode, it sometimes goes to Recovery, but more often goes to black screen and frozen again. If I try Vol Up-Home-Power combo nothing happens.
EDIT: for #5 - i waited a bit longer on the black screen and hit power - recovery popped up. This may be related to a historical screen time out issue which has already been identified elsewhere
EDIT 2: for #5 - I seem to be stuck - I made it into recovery after a number of tries and turned off the screen timeout option. Now it won't boot into either recovery or system - just goes to black screen again. I can still get into Download mode so I'll have to wait until I can plug into a PC at home and try ADB fastboot - does anyone have any other suggestions?

schishu went ballistic over the fact that a lot of people were sending money to get their devices on nougat which led to a half bake ROM with a lot of problems, schishu being who he is, never give any support and just let everyone deal with their problems.. Therefore the moderator said enough is enough and just closed the thread until schishu get his sh** together... And it's not me who've made a complaint.....

I'am a person who donated to Schichu after his efforts with Nougat so quickly created while Samsung at that point still had not made Marshmallow readily available. I did that not as much for his Nougat ROM but because I'd been using his mature AOSP Marshmallow ROM for months already at that point. I find it difficult to see the words "half baked" and "get his act together" on a ROM clearly marked as ALPHA. That is simply not fair as this developer put out monthly security updates which again is better than Samsung manages. I do not regret my donation as I reverted to his AOSP MM from a nandroid backup just hours ago. Samsung stock Marshmallow does not support Substratum theming which I find manditory and is slower than the Nexus like AOSP build..

That seems odd that it would be shut down for being half-baked! The 1st page of the ROM thread clearly states it is "Alpha". For an alpha, it certainly ran well - others clearly had unreasonable expectations for an alpha status ROM.

Access to recovery is very inconsistent - I don't know much about this - maybe I have a corrupt bootloader or something.
I kept rebooting to Download mode with Power-VolDn-Home combo and then cancelling it - finally it went into Recovery and I could reboot from there to System.
I'm kicking myself- I should have turned screen timeout back on in TWRP as it seemed I could get into recovery more frequently (but still inconsistently) after cancelling out of download mode.

I've never been good at getting those button combinations to work. I always use the power reboot menu, the reboot menu in either TWRP Manager or Titanium, or use adb commands. I guess I'm just not coordinated enough. =) Hopefully you'll get it figured out.

That seems odd that it would be shut down for being half-baked! The 1st page of the ROM thread clearly states it is "Alpha". For an alpha, it certainly ran well - others clearly had unreasonable expectations for an alpha status ROM.

Ok it's in alpha, alpha is half baked, Schishu, Samsung or LG it's the same for me. the xda supervisor kickt him out coz much probs as i understand .
". . . . . schishu being who he is, never give any support and just let everyone deal with their problems.. Therefore the moderator said enough . . . . "

Thanks - I'll have to try a quicker finger. Hopefully it's that simple, but because of the issues I'm having I am not going to try to boot to recovery any time soon unless I absolutely need to!
