I really don't like posting this because I do understand how much work is being put into this, I just don't understand what good a custom rom on a phone is if I cant actually use it as a phone. gps, bluetooth, data. awsome. but not worth anything if people cant even understand me during a phone call. I hate to sound ungratefull but i feel like i have been ignored. :(

edit: before I get slammed. the only response I have seen by someone working on this is that they have not made a call so they can't comment.

First...it's beta

Second...you're not being ignored, lots of us have reported bad calling sound issues and low speaker phone volume, it's called bug reporting for the beta testing. Im sure tdm is taking note of the bugs being reported and will address them as he has time.

Third...it's beta

Fourth...be patient and go back to a fully working room if you don't like testing betas

Fifth...it's still beta


Sixth...there is no solution to the bad call quality right now, so again, patience is key.

Seventh...your post did seem kinda ungrateful but I'm sure you are just a little confused about what beta means. So remember, it's beta, and may always be beta, but it's fun for us geeks to mess with our gadgets and some of us can deal with not having certain features so we like running custom Roms.
 
I think I've got the nitro audio blobs installed on the spectrum. Can someone can try swapping out libaudioalsa.so and maybe libaudcal.so with versions from the spectrum ota to see if that fixes audio for calls?

I apologize. I am new to all of this regarding phones, I do know what a beta is. I felt this was a place to report issues with the beta so the dev. could take note to work on. I just didn't see a response that it was being looked into after mine and in your words "lots of us have reported bad calling sound issues and low speaker phone volume" I am really excited about this rom and I do really appreciate all of the work. You guys rock. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

EDIT! Looks like it is being worked on now! sweeeet

I ended up finding it. I haven't made a call with the change because I have no one to call this late but I did go to my voice mail to test out speaker phone and its still low. And now I'm having major issues with my phone. Not sure if it's related.

I changed out both files btw

Update. It has to be related, my dialer basically doesn't work now. I open it up but its not responsive and makes my whole phone freeze up. Not sure what happened, I'm going to swap the files back and see if that fixes my issue

The problem with this phone is it never got big and from the sounds of it is a huge pain in the arse to dev. There is very few devs working on the spectrum for this reason. But the devs that are working on it are putting huge time into it under there own personal time. I'm very grateful for them. You have to remember this isn't there job yet look how much has been done since ICS release. Compare this to the Samsung s3 with God knows how many devs. And how Samsung supports open source way more then lg and there locked bootloader.
 
I am willing to pm someone my number so they can call me when I am running cm9 and then cm!0 so they can here the difference, but I'm not sure that will help. IDK

I think I'll need to make a full spectrum build with all the i_vzw blobs for the next test. Or maybe one of the other devs can do that... I'm going to be busy with Christmas stuff for the next few days.

This ROM has been all sorts of weird.

Aside from bluetooth&mms [i don't use], GPS, 4g, battery life, call volume and seemingly everything I've used so far has been fine. I will occasionally get glitches in some apps but it goes away if I restart them. [I'm still on the original CM10 release too..]

When it comes to bugs/issues it may help more if you posted what you've done so far to try if anything besides switching between CM9 and CM10. [any apps, etc]. I saw you have quite a few posts about the mic problem though.

I'm not the most useful person [I work in pharma so I'm trying to make all your drugs safer! :)] but I can understand your slight impatience. My coworkers give me a hard time all the time about lack of progress updates. But when I'm done, its to the best of my ability at the time and not half polished just because I wanted to show them something. I hated getting them excited only to disappoint.

Cheers

libaudioalsa.so is identical between b2 and stock, libaudcal is not and seems to have made a difference in call quality, but it's not perfect. I'm also testing this between two spectrums both on cm10

Edit: by difference, I mean I no longer hear all the back round hissing or as bad of muffled audio, but it still isn't a clear call and the volume is still low, even maxed out.
 
Also I'll be sending the loaner phone back tomorrow or Friday. I still have my old spectrum for the moment but it doesn't have service. I can test voip .. how is call audio on voip, is it affected?

I put the other files back and its running normal again.

I'm about to be snowed in by 2 ft of snow, so I'll see what I can come up with. Still no luck with getting this to be recognized as a USB hub. I did notice that all these builds are missing the usbhub and usbhub_init binaries. Are these required or just something LG uses to fake things working correctly?

I'm not aware of any usbhub or usbhub_init binaries, they don't seem to be in CM9...?

I did test and the loaner phone showed up as a mass storage device under Linux. I have been reticent to test Windows mainly because I'm lazy .. I live in Linux and I only have one machine with a dual-boot Windows install (and that only to run LGNPST and DFS, the latter of which is not needed in GSM land). I suspect the issue is that the USB device/vendor identifier in init.iproj.usb.rc for various configurations isn't being set properly. I believe Windows drivers are vendor specific and require exact identifiers, whereas Linux only cares about the capabilities and couldn't care less about the vendor identifiers.

Anyway .. try replacing init.iproj.usb.rc with the contents of init.lge.usb.rc from my CM9 ROM, and don't forget to also copy init.lge.usb.sh into the initrd since it's declared as a service in that file.
 
I have found an odd bug. I do not know if it is how I flashed the ROM, gapps, or if it is just a big no one has experienced yet. Camera works perfect, but video camcorder cannot initialize.

Also, hello, just got this phone ;) came from an HTC Inc. I can do a ddms on the issue when I get off work if that would help. Other than that I haven't had any real big bugs (first boot talk app didn't want to log in. Kernel panic soft reset fix it some how)
 
I guess I should report my audio experiences just to add it in -

I'm still on AOKP41 beta1 and I use a wired headset normally for phone. No one has complained about how I sound, and the few I've asked say I sound normal. Their volume however is LOUD. It hurt my ears yesterday when my brother called me.

I'll switch to beta2 this morning and see how the headset is, then report back this afternoon.

Ok, I'll start with the init files when I get home. I'm off to play in the snow for 6 hours. :/
