Fix for Allo message sounds? - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I've discovered the possible reason why some of the sounds in Allo will not play properly. There are 8 total wav files in Allo in the res/raw folder. 5 of them have a bitrate of 256KB/s and the PCM S16 LE codec. While the other three which don't play have a bitrate of 384KB/s and the codec is PCM S24 LE. Apparently, CM14.1 doesn't like wav files at that bitrate and codec so it plays them improperly. I converted the three sounds and the system played then properly. So what this tells me is cm is either missing the codec or the codec is broken.
Is there anyway to get this bug fixed?
Will play format:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Won't play format:
incoming_message.wav
incoming_sticker.wav
outgoing_message.wav
Here are all the sounds for reference and testing to fix the bug: http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/585094d9cb7f5/Allo-Sounds.zip

Is this something we can test (i.e. put the converted sounds somewhere on our device), or is this meant for the Allo developers?

Unfortunately the sounds themselves are inside of Allo and replacing them would require decompiling and recompiling the app and signing it which would then make it have a new signature so no updates from the Play Store. It's a bug in Lineage OS something changed between cm13 and Lineage OS 14.1 that causes the wav sounds that are using that codec to not play properly. So the codec needs to be fixed in the rom. This is not device specific and is broken in all builds as far as I'm aware.

Too bad, I guess we'll have to live with the message sounds turned off then. Hope this gets solved soon.

I really hope that it does. It's been broken since the very first cm14.1 build in pretty sure.

Ive been using this music player for a couple of days, and i've gotta say:
I really like it.

My only gripe is no APE support, but i can live with that.
It has a few Visualizer settings, Equalizer and supports MP3, WAV, OGG, MID, MP4, M4A, 3GP, FLAC, AAC, WMA, FLAC, AAC, and WMA.
Works well with Ice Cream Sandwich and Large Screen devices...

Doesnt support folders as far as I could see it just imports all the songs into one LONGG list..
Doesnt make them very easy to sort or view and the buttons are a bit small on the Nexus but it might look better on a tablet for which its designed for
Looks nice but I uninstalled it after 5 minutes lol.
Mark.
Quite nice but doesn't work well on the GN. Buttons are just too small. Also no controls on the lockscreen. The default player seems to be the only player to support that feature.
What's wrong with the stock player?

i'll give it a miss then!
Works for my needs. All my music is tagged correctly so i usually just dump it all the FLACs and MP3s into one folder and shuffle play. Done!
Simple player for my simple needs
I've been using PowerAMP since it was released first time round and I love it. This app could turn me away from PowerAMP...hmm. Thanks for the heads up on this.
I have been looking for a FLAC player for the G Nex for so long..This seems like a good option Thanks! :good:

Thanks for your reply,
But if you take a video with the phone and want to send through MMS the file size is to big and there are no way
to compress the file to MMS Size.
Even if you capture the video in low size, it is to big for mms.

Then I would go for the Dropbox.
But still to bad for a highend phone

The limitation isn't with the phone... It's with MMS
success?
Anyone figure this out yet? Or a good alternative?
The phone is definitely capable- if you record video at the time of sending text(within attach) it can record up to 60 seconds and quickly send it via mms
I wonder how possible it would be to make a 'plugin' for mms to inlcude sending previously recorded
It seems all third party messaging apps ive tried require the receiver to also have the app
If I remember correctly, the maximum file size for MMS videos/files is something like 300K or maybe 3M at most. I can assure you that it is virtually impossible to record a video with those file sizes. Even if you would record 1 second of film, you would already exceed the limitation.
You could either try to record your video in 3GP format. If I remember correctly 3GP was created for these kind of situations. How you would go about recording in 3GP; I don't know.
Also, why would you even want to use MMS to send videos? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Messaging_Service
If you want to share videos that you recorded, services like Whatsapp already convert your videos to a lower resolution so it takes up less space/size for transferring.
If you want to keep the quality, you can use Telegram or services like Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube or Vimeo.
Maybe if you eloborate more on the subject we can give you a more appropiate/specific answer.
Cheers
This is my question as well but for the G4. Coming from the galaxy S4 where you can limit for mms in the video settings.

PXL Player [Music][Android]

Hello everybody!
I've been working on a music player built on top of a game engine (cocos2d-x) and written mostly in c++. The UI is visualized entirely through a dot-matrix, inspired by the early gaming days where resources where limited, and each pixel was sacred! (Fun fact: PXL Player's resolution is smaller than a nokia 3510)
I'd really love to hear your thoughts on the UI, and what features you would like to see integrated as a music player.
You can find the download link at my site pxlplayer.com or here: View attachment PXLPlayer.apk
Thanks, Niall

The ui is great! But why the attachment is 6 KB only?

Hey thanks for the feedback! It's actually 6.9mb not kb, but I've just uploaded the latest [renamed version] which is less than 6mb. The benefit to this UI style is that there are very few resources, with the only resources being an average of 20x20 pixels. The UI resolution is smaller than a Nokia 3510 and this helps keep the app size really small.
Few things have been added to the latest version, menu searching, theming.. More importantly the next big update will connect seamlessly to SoundCloud.
I'd love some feedback on the name, 'PXL Player' or 'Dubbo' ?
PLx player sounds great
Now it's 5 bytes lol

That's so weird, I just downloaded it on my phone on two different browsers and it's the right size. What device / browser is that? Might just be the preview size is wrong

I Just downloaded the XDA app, I'm seeing the same miscalculated attachment size. It's downloads fine though
thanks for confirming! I thought maybe I have messed up somewhere in my mobile lol

Huawei Music app issue on OnePlus 5T

Hi there,
I loved the music all that I had on my Huawei P8 Lite and would love having this one again on my OnePlus 5T.
Now I noticed there are different versions of it but managed to find the version that I wanted. Sadly for some reason when I tap on the button to find songs on my device it says it found 721 items but then it doesn't show them in the app... So basically I can't listen to my music on the app...
Does someone know a way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!!

First off that site is a known warez site and banned on XDA. So I would remove the pic.
Without any logs taken to show what the error is The only guess would be it relies on that OEM framework to work properly.

Thanks! Not sure if I can get a log somewhere but I'll see, it just shows that songs were found but doesn't show them in the end, same issue is with other versions, although some of the Chinese ones (that I'm not looking for) shows the songs without issues

Do, a search for pulling a log cat. That will tell you how. The follow the directions and it will tell you what's wrong. You can compare the two versions to see why one works and the other doesn't.

[A5 2017] LDAC Bluetooth with unsupported headphones??

My A5 (2017) is running on magisk rooted stock android 8.
I've been messing around trying to get better audio from this phone, and have found a method to... at very least make it look like I'm using LDAC.. at best actually use it.
I'm unsure if I truly am using LDAC, or if there is any difference to the audio quality at all.
(im the master of the placebo effect )
I use SetEdit w/ Feature Pack to keep a few Global settings set to 1 (true) . After a certain event involving the headphone, or a random amount of time (idk) the "_supports_ldac" settings I've changed go back to 0 (false). SetEdit keeps my changes persistent.

}
Sidenote, this little tweak FEELS like it has an effect on the audio.
& I can do something similar with my A51 (non-rooted, One UI 4.1) & the UHQ upscaling/bit ajustment built into the settings that is usually grey-ed out.. and dedicated for wired devices?
also works with different audio devices.. like my Skull Candy Uproar, and cheap BlueHive earbuds (035-7309-4)
Now thats all fine and dandy.. but......
but I cannot set the "Bluetooth Audio Codec" in dev settings to LDAC, when clicked it returns back to SBC. my only supported codec
same goes for sample rate, bit rate and sort of the LDAC Playback Quality. My A51 behaves the same.
I can change the playback quality from Best Effort, and it sticks.
But if I click the option, the selector is back to Best Effort... AND MY SELECTION of Optimized for Audio Quality still sticks. weird.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here is screenshots of the A51.
If I launch the android shortcut "com.sec.android.app.soundalive.activity.UHQUpscalerActivity" the page below opens, and I can freely change the settings and they stick as long as SetEdit is doing its thing.
I can't figure out how to access this page without launching the activity...
-----------------------------------------
To sum it all up, I have some nooby questions.
Am I actually getting LDAC & UHQ upscaling with unsupported devices?
Is there a way to test the truth of what I'm seeing and "hearing"?
Is this weirdly specific "hack" and my curiosity confusing enough? or am I insane?
