WHAT'S WORKING:
I don't know.. You tell me?
notes:
this ROM has not been fully tested. It also does not help that I do not yet own an U11 device but this is where you, the user come in. The more feedback, screenshots and logcats to report bugs and other things then the better I can get an idea of where I am going with this project and to make improvements along the way. Right now i am starting over from ground zero. I like the idea of starting all the way from the bottom again and working my way back up it's a re-learning process. I'd like to get a working ROM up and running ASAP so I can hopefully contribute something and add to the growing collection of U11 roms. Until then, witness the growing pains and thanks for trying Ground Zero.
Warning: Install at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages that may occur to your phone, but as a friendly reminder in case you didn't already know... always remember to backup your data first before you flash​

Tutorial: How to adjust the decibel levels of the U-Sonic headphones
open the rom.zip of your choice that you are planning to use with 7zip. go to the system/etc directory and drag out the mixer_paths_tavil.xml onto your desktop. open the file with notepad++ or any xml editor and make the following changes..
to change the decibel volume of U-sonic with noise cancellation enabled look for the path name: anc-headphones inside tavil..
Code:
<path name="anc-headphones">
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="0" />
<ctl name="COMP2 Switch" value="0" />
<ctl name="ANC Function" value="ON" />
<ctl name="ANC Slot" value="0" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX3 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_6_RX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="ADC MUX10" value="AMIC" />
<ctl name="AMIC MUX10" value="ADC3" />
<ctl name="ADC MUX12" value="AMIC" />
<ctl name="AMIC MUX12" value="ADC4" />
<ctl name="ANC0 FB MUX" value="ANC_IN_HPHL" />
<ctl name="ANC1 FB MUX" value="ANC_IN_HPHR" />
<ctl name="ADC3 Volume" value="8" />
<ctl name="ADC4 Volume" value="8" />
<ctl name="RX INT1_1 MIX1 INP0" value="RX2" />
<ctl name="RX INT2_1 MIX1 INP0" value="RX3" />
[B] <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="76" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="76" />[/B]
<ctl name="ANC OUT HPHL Enable Switch" value="1" />
<ctl name="ANC OUT HPHR Enable Switch" value="1" />
</path>
change the RX1 and RX2 digital volumes to the number of your choice. the registered values are between '0' to '124'. '0' equals to -84 db's and '124 equals to +40 db's. I do not recommend you putting this at 124 or any number over 100 unless you want to risk damaging your ear or your headphones. :highfive:
on my rom i have it set at '84' but HTC set the default values at '74' or '76' depending which software version you are coming from.
to change the decibel volume of U-sonic with noise cancellation disabled look for the path name: headphones inside tavil..
Code:
<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX3 MUX" value="AIF4_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_6_RX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="RX INT1_2 MUX" value="RX2" />
<ctl name="RX INT2_2 MUX" value="RX3" />
[B] <ctl name="RX1 Mix Digital Volume" value="76" />
<ctl name="RX2 Mix Digital Volume" value="76" />[/B]
</path>
once again change the RX Mix Digital Volume values to your liking from 0 to 124. i have also set these in my rom to '84' which is 0 db's, to get a louder but more neutral sound without compromising sound quality anything higher and you will get start to get distortion.
after you have made your changes save it then drag and drop your edited tavil.xml file back into the same directory where you extracted it from and overwrite the file inside your rom.zip with 7zip. close and reflash the rom.zip.
I'm sure there are some people in here who have used their U-sonic earphones and find that the default settings may not be set to their liking which is why i am sharing my findings with you. I have heard some say these earbuds are not loud enough and so i have worked on a solution. it's been almost two month since i discovered it. thanks to galactus for confirming and testing that it worked.
on a sidenote, if you want to change external speaker volume although i don't see why you will need to since the U11 speakers sound loud enough already as it is. You'll have to open up Mixer_Paths.xml and make the changes there. Look for speakers path and edit the values there, once again they are 0 to 124. HTC set it at 84 which is optimal level. i am not sure what speaker fluid and speaker db does. haven't had much testing done on that but if you want to test be my guest. Thanks to Galactus for confirming and testing the USonics​

You're welcome.
Maybe I'll have better luck with testing and feedback from the T-mo, Verizon and AT&T crowd. Worth a shot I suppose.

Is this for sprint only? The linked file says sprint.
I unzipped it and saw all the sprint, boost etc stuff.

I put the wrong link there lol. Found out and corrected it 30 minutes later. That's what I get trying to put this out shortly before falling asleep:laugh:
The non-Sprint version is up now. Sorry about that!

Nice! Thanks for the rom!
BTW is the u11 able to float in water?

Thank you tbalden, your welcome!
If the U11 is possessed by a witch or a devil, then maybe it will float

v0.1 uploaded. Deodex and Odex versions up.
will probably put out a new test build every night until i can hit the jackpot. would be awesome to know if ROM works, a screenshot of the software or build version in Settings menu would be nice proof. but if it doesn't work then a logcat of the bootup would certainly be of much help to me.

---

test v0.2 uploaded.
the first wave of sound modifications starting with i2s. not sure if it will have any affect on the 3.5 mm headphones but that is the goal.

---

v0.3 is up.
fixed update script permissions for possible bootup issues
testing modified tavil mixer sound path for headphones anc and 44.1 but removed i2s modifications for a later build.

---

:good:v0.4 is up
i can trust Galactus' word that modifying tavil can control the sound of the U-sonic buds. 3.5 mm headphones results still pending. thank you for testing. :good:

I wish I had an extra U11 just to test for you, but life hit me hard late, and too busy to do a lot of testing.
Then again...I would just mail you the extra U11 and call it a day! ?

hey man no rush bud. i think i fixed the bootup issue on the Sprint version. it's there whenever time allows for you to try it. life happens, and that takes higher priority over a phone. appreciate the response :good:

v0.5 up

So....I finally tried to do a logcat, and it failed. Adb didn't even recognize the device. The orange light doesn't come on to show that the phone is charging. Most importantly, my phone doesn't prompt me for the pass code to decrypt it and proceed to boot...instead, it reboots itself once (after about 5mins), then hangs until kingdom come.
I thought it was kernel related, so I flashed a custom kernel, ad t sill did tell same thing.
The last step would be to download and flash each upload from the most recent to find the last bootable version.

@Digitalkarma , I hope you keep up the good work here. This is perfect for my needs.
Thanks!

hey @Goggles_Pisano . thanks for giving my rom a go!
i'm just curious since it's so hard to get feedback around here...
does it fully work? and if it does can you screenshot the software rom build version in About Settings? i'd just like to see my name in there with my eyes as proof that my effort wasnt all for nothing. thanks again:good:

Works great. Thing I like about flashable zips is I can lighten them up and add some of my own stuff (custom Boot ani's and sound etc) as I like.
I come from several Samsung devices so there's a learning curve with this stuff for me... Like, I don't know how to change the initial splash screen (HTC powered by Android) or the shut down image. I have some cool one's I like.
BTW, You have any experience with services jar? An extended Power menu would be nice.
Thx
EDIT: This is my daily driver now.

that is so effin awesome, so it works after all! after all this time i was wondering if it was booting or not. now that i know it works i can start adding some features that's the only reason why i've held back on doing anything.
to change the splash screen or mess with the shutdown animation it's all in the customize/resources folder in the zip.
and i have messed with services.jar back in the day to get CRT animations and a few other things, but if you want APM menu i believe you will need to edit framework-res, framework.jar and android.policy.jar. it's been awhile since i messed with that stuff back in the HTC M7 and EVO days. i can attempt to incoporate that n a future update, it should be standard for custom roms anyway.
thank you for the feedback :good:

Hey, that sounds awsome. Sorry I haven't left any comments but this rom is working perfectly. I too would like to see this endeavor continue.
I've tried a couple of different roms but I keep coming back to this 1.16.617.6 based stock. I'm a bit spoiled from my N4 days with all the fantastic work done by @tx_dbs_tx and others for that last of the GREAT samsung phones.
Keep up the good work and I'll hang around if there's anything I can help you with.
