question will zroot work on LS670ZVC

 

[acromack]

Oldblue137: Thanks for your answers =] Now, should I try to update to VC right now its V9 but does updating to VC even do anything with this rom? Im not exactly sure what VC is but I think its new driver files, wont they be incorperated into CM7? Also my FM Radio does not work is that common, also noticed handcent did not work to good, so I went with GoSMS to split the texts seems to work best....thanks guys keep up the good work --Glitchsta

Handcent works fine for me, and FM radio won't work yet for anyone.

Also, I've spent quite some time looking around in the AudioFilter.csv file zefie mentioned earlier. Here's what I've found out:

It basically describes the stock EQ settings, with 8 bands, the frequencies for each (some of which are expressed in hex values for whatever reason), and the gain settings each band is at. This setting is also enabled by default, as marked by the "FFFF" instead of a "0". Now, what's interesting is that after analyzing it, this is what I came up with for a representation of what is being described in the file (just for the EQ settings):

imgur: the simple image sharer

In that, I've changed the hex values over to numerical frequencies for my understanding (they're still hex values in the actual .csv file). Obviously, you can see it's pretty wacky. So I decided to change some of the gain values to see if that would have any effect. Oddly, it resulted in no sound whatsoever. Reverting back to the original settings restores the sound. So that makes me wonder if this file is the one we need to be messing with. Either that, or it's somehow tied in with the libaudio.so file located in /system/lib/ that other sources have noted need changing for similar audio hacks. However, from what I've gathered with that file, it basically tells the system where to look for the settings of each audio output (so you could force bluetooth and headphone and speaker to all look to the AudioFilter.csv file for their EQ setting, and control it all from there. Thing is, this was all true with Froyo. When I decided to try flashing a modified libaudio.so file that did exactly this, I couldn't boot. I kindof half expected this to happen anyway. So reverted back to original Gingerbread file. Now I'm stuck. Here's where I'm at so far:

I still think modifying the AudioFilter.csv will be they key to fixing the audio fidelity issue. The frequencies, for example, are pretty odd as they are set right now (starting at 80 Hz instead of a normal 32 or even 60), which could explain why there's an apparent total lack of low-end bass. But changing even one value of either gain or frequency for any of the bands results in no audio at all. So there's got to be something else involved to make the phone accept the modified file. Signing perhaps? Or maybe the libaudio.so file is in fact tied in and needs to be modified alongside the AudioFilter.csv file... Whatever it is, I'm stumped. If anyone has any ideas, please share.


EDIT: ...aaaannndd I've just found out the answer may actually be in a kernel modification, since another key file that was needed for this kind of hack went missing since 2.1...

Heh, sure as ****, that button does nothing on my phone as well....I always use a long press on the magnifying glass button on the front of the phone to access voice commands....that one is more powerful than the side button, (does all the side button does, plus google searches, etc...).

No idea how to make the side button work. Perhaps a button remapper? But it would still call up the same thing the magnifying glass does, not that other weird voice search thing the side button used to do.

nrom mapped that button to go to the phone dialer, not sure how he did it but that would be great on our phones

 

[zefie]

no man the file is just finicky, i will add the debug line in and compile it tomorrow for you so that you can see which line its failing at least. It's hard to figure out where its failing since there are like 40 calls to a generic error and i have no idea what each function is doing lol

No. Also depending on if you did an over the air update then you are stuck with no root for now.

I'm flashing visual voicemail now, I'll report back how it goes.
Edit: Works perfectly! Thanks Bobby!

Ok, I lied.
I have some issue with delivery of messages, there's an activation message waiting to be delivered "when data is available" or some such. Next time the message pops up I'll make note of exactly what it says.

its still good enough for me (for now atleast) just installed it and message one pops up briefly about a second

I've seen that too.. it says:

Error V30: Voice message will be delivered when data service becomes available

So I turned off wifi thinking that was it, but nope. Still no go. And checking for updates in the settings creates a 'general error'. Looks like this isn't really working as we thought it would right away..

yea so i just left a message on my phone from my phone and it totally doesnt work so dont bother with it for now atleast

Yep, I did the same thing. It's sitting there with the confirmation message trying to go out. :'(

looks like the vvm is an issue with all phones running cm7 builds. evo's are having the same problems, but apparently it worked in cm6 builds. so hopefully (maybe!) there will be something discovered in the official cm7 nightlies that will trickle down to our optimus s build that will eventually fix this. but for now, looks like we'll have to deal with just calling in for voicemails and having the text messages as alerts to a new one.

noticed today sending pics through text doesnt seem to be working, just contiunally says sending, I noticed on the issues thread mms was already listed and it said fixed so curious if im missing something

Just in case you vvm folks don't know, Google Voice can take over your voicemail.

Just go set up a Google Voice account. There are two ways to use it, either have folks call your Google Voice phone #, or continue to use your regular number. Just continue to use your normal number, but forward voicemails to Voice.

Voice will take your voicemails, it gives you visual voicemail in the Voice app, (which pop up just like they would in sprint), and it can even text you hilarious mis-transcriptions.

I like it better than the VVM app....it works the same, but better.

The file name may be different in cm7 but on the stock rom and my tr1.6 rom, the button mapping is controlled in the following file:

/system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl

key code 216 should map to VOICE for the right button to bring up the voice dialer. Can't confirm this for cm7 but its worth a shot.

Heh, sure as ****, that button does nothing on my phone as well....I always use a long press on the magnifying glass button on the front of the phone to access voice commands....that one is more powerful than the side button, (does all the side button does, plus google searches, etc...).

VVM is working fine for me (other than the text message telling me i have a new voicemail) I didn't flash vvm though i just installed the apk.

How do you get any email coming from an exchange server ( using touchdown or the built in email app) to connect. All info is entered correct but I receive a Fetch error

 

[BobbyJenks]

Ah, sorry guys. I'm still having an issue with the non visual cm telling me I have a voicemail and can't clear the icon. It followed me from nightly 18 to 20. I've stopped G Voice service, and sent myself a vm using another phone. I am lost.
When I use my nand backup to return to ThundeROM then it stays away.

Very true. I tried Google Voice for a while though and thought it was a total PITA. The sound quality was crappy and always cut out. I ended up going back to VVM.

Really? I have no issues with Google Voice sound quality. It is kinda funny to read the transcribed messages though, they are almost never even close to right.

Anybody having a issue with Google maps and navigation giving a need data error? If so what radio /baseband are you on, I am on V9.

Thanks
