[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
The purpose of this poll is to find out if there is a majority that feel the stock volume is low & more importantly, to find a fix.

Edit:

If you are happy with your NC sound, please describe your experience.

If you have a fix & are happy with the sound, please describe the "fix".

If you have tried some solutions & are not happy with any of them, please describe your experience & vote that you want it louder.

I have tried "Poweramp" & by bosting the midrange freqs & the preamp level, the speaker was very distorted. Not sure if the speaker was breaking up or Poweramp added a bunch of distortion. I suspect that the speaker just can't handle the power.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tj!2k7:
The max volume level on the stock BN ROM is atrocious and unusable. Since going to CM7 and flashing Dalingrin's OC kernels the volume has been much improved and is usable. Would still love for it to be louder, but the magic Dalingrin worked has at least made the speaker usable.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] richierich1212:
I can't hear anything really if I hold the Nook up. But when it's flat on a surface it has plenty of volume due to the sound waves reflecting.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Arbelzapf:
What he said. On CM7, it's okay. The NC is a pretty quiet device, but I can't really complain any more.

If I need better and louder sound, I use my FiiO S3.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] painter_:
The way the question is asked causes the poll to be flawed. You should constrain the answers to a list like:

Stock sound low

Stock sound fine

froyo sound low

Froyo sound fine

CM7 sound low

CM7 sound fine

etc and so on.

The problem is people will answer the current question baon what they are using. On my CM7 installed Nook the sound is fine, but on the stock rom it sucked. How should I answer you?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liquid64:
I too have noticed that if the nook is flat, I can't hear much at all. I have been using a small wire easel that I picked up at a craft store, which helps out considerably.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
My brother bought me a small compact speaker. I just plug it in. It works beautifully. On board sound on stock sucks monkey balls.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
Duly noted.

If you are happy with CM7 volume you could answer that you have found a solution. If you are not happy, answer that you would like it to be louder. The main reason for asking the question, is to find a fix & if it appears that many people are not happy with the sound, maybe devs. will address it.

I will add some comments to the OP.

Thanks,

I had to create a gold card to make it work. Wasn't too difficult.
[Desire HD General] Cwest1:
tried it...nothing but errors....thanks anyways..cant figure it out
[Desire HD General] gekrem:
This guide explains how to create a GoldCard. A GoldCard is a special SD card which, when inserted into your device, allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example, if you own a T-Mobile branded device, this will allow you to flash a generic ROM.

Please note, I am not responsible if you damage your phone in anyway because of this, this is a guide written by someone else that I have extracted to share with you. This has worked for me and I have succesfuly used this method to de-brand over 5 Desire HDs

Requirements

•Spare microSD card

•Windows PC (recommended)

•ADB (part of the tools folder of the SDK, available for download here

•HxD Hex Editor, available for download here http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

Step by step instructions

•Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.

•Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.

•Ensure you have unzipped the SDK (you can Google this to find the link to download it), then open a command prompt to the extract location (where you extracted the SDK Files). Change to the 'tools directory.

•Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.

•Visit this http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , paste in your number and reverse it. In our example the result would be 00544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653.

•Visit this http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard , enter your reversed number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.

•Open the HxD hex editor. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must run the application as administrator.

•Go to the 'Extra' menu and select 'Open Disk'. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!

•Go to the 'Extra' menu again and select 'Open Disk Image'. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.

•You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image. Press OK when prompted for 'Sector Size' (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.

•Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the 'Edit' menu, choose 'Select All' then select the 'Edit' menu again and select 'Copy'.

•Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'.

•Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Save', accepting the warning.

If you have troubles installing the SKD because it requires something to work hit next, back and then next again and it should install.

GOOD LUCK!
[Desire HD General] unhallowedone:
If you should experience problems considering the gold card and that it might not be accepted: I had such a problem and it finally worked when I reversed the id of the card by hand and not the page that provided automatic conversion.

On a sidenote to the steps above.

Check twice that you have chosen your SD-Card else you will damage your HD's boot sector (which can be fixed easily, but still you don't have to go through that trouble)
[Desire HD General] unhallowedone:
Hehe I've done that when trying the first time. Luckily live CDs have already been invented so I could fix the MBR with a simple command.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
With Groubal being a great rallying tool, what does everyone think about doing the same thing and targeting AT&T and their prohibition against unknown sources?

Now that the Amazon AppStore is out, there is a legitimate reason FOR the unknown sources checkbox that AT&T has taken away on ALL Android phones. This could be a rallying cry for all AT&T customers - regardless of what phone and make them pay attention.

Waiting on a fix is not good enough, when they could easily push an update to enable this.

Thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
Agreed, DO IT! I'll sign it, there doesn't even have to be a legitimate reason for allowing unknown sources either... Every other provider has it enabled, wtf does AT&GAY ...ERRRR...

At&t has been in bed with apple too long and is starting to stink of their douche-baggedness.

It lasts alot longer than 2.1 and i am happy. Oh plus i use my xda, engadget, and phandroid app way to much.

@Ungaze

what is the difference from Tweakz V2?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
almost everything. Flashing this script alone won't do anything. You need to get your tweaks from here first and save it to /sdcard/tweakz folder. reboot and this way it will do exactly what Tweakz V2 did. Now if you notice any lag or performance drop, apply each tweak/script one by one to debug/troubleshoot which one is causing it.

Additionally if you found anything useful, you can make your own script.sh and place it on the /tweakz folder to run it on every boot.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes please, keep posting feedback either here or the other thread. Anything is useful since some users say they suffer some ocasional lag, others don't notice improvements, others say their phone became super fast...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bluviper:
ok now i get it... so the first batch of scripts on zip cannot be run on boot...

thats why you created this...

..ok i have finally applied everything! hehehe since i love smorgasbords...

and its very hard to tell that its there.... hehehe.. seems like fine to me.

no hiccups whatsoever..

but i feel its OK... thanks again man..
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
the first batch of scripts had to be manually moved to init.d and had to be in a specific filename with a specific header and containing all the tweaks altogether in order to run on boot.

now what I did with the update.zips(Tweakz V1, Tweakz V2) was make moving it to init.d, renaming and fixing the header all easier for you guys but it still contain all the tweaks with no option for you guys to modify/add/remove lines that you want. This time it already runs on boot.

with this tweak, everything is easily manipulated through the sd card and a simple file explorer for more flexibility and easy troubleshooting. This should also work on most phones with init.d support.

And to make things neater, just post stuff regarding only this script here and everything about tweaks on the other thread mentioned above.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
You don't really need to move the scripts to the data partition, just invoke the with sh, ie. "sh /sdcard/scriptz/script.sh" it would make your for loop something like this:

for script in $list

do

sh /sdcard/scriptz/$script

done

Also I'd be careful with mounting SD ahead of vold, atleast on /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard make a tempfolder somewhere as a mount point instead and you shouldn't to worry about vold throwing up on you... Just a thought.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
didn't work last time i tried running the scripts directly from sdcard but will try it with your script.

I don't really have a choice right now but to use the same method as "VOID rom" is using when loading modules. Any ideas?

BTW thanks so much
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
A quick and simple solution would be to just add something along the lines of

mount -o rw,remount auto /

mkdir /tmp

<mount the sdcard>

<run the scripts>

<unmount the sdcard>

rmdir /tmp

mount -o ro,remount auto /

Not the cleanest solution of all time, but it should work and no risk of conflicting mount points. Another solution is to just have people install the scripts on the /data partition in a directory there as /data is mounted rw.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
I was worried about the mount point traffic as well, but I guess I will be implementing the second solution instead, with a very different approach, and a more complex script.

You seem to know your trade, too bad we didn't get to collaborate before I made this script(from scratch, with no knowledge at all with scripting and how they work). Was asking and trolling on different threads with no help at all. Good thing mr. google was always there for anyone who needs help ;) .

I'll start working and hope to hear from you about my next release as well.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
You might want to look at the userinit script in the CM based ROM's around if you're going down that route, it does what you want and there's no point reinventing the wheel if you know what I mean.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
Great! Nice tip, never done that before. Thanks alot man.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bluviper:
so all in all, is this script really running on boot or not?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
It runs, only problem encountered is with CM7 roms. (mount point traffic or something like that in a sense) will edit 1st page till I finish the reworked script.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AsherChua:
Hey ungaze,I have just flashed the script and everything. I'm on CM7. What is the problem? Do I have to wait for a fix and do everything over again? Because I'm currently not experiencing any problems:)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
Nope, it worked once, it should also work every time. Dunno which beta version of CM7 some people are having problem with. I still think this method is easier and faster for testing scripts to run on boot, but the next script will just be more lets say "compatible to a wider variety of ROMs and even other devices".
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
The issue can occur on rom's that mount the sdcard on /mnt/sdcard and symlink that to /sdcard as your mountpoint doesn't exist. If memory serves me right this is the correct mount procedure since 2.2 and is more in line with FHS. Potentially you can see issues with this if it mounts before vold runs as well as vold with throw an error if the mountpoint is in use. This can occur on rom's that mount to /sdcard. Hope that clears it up a bit.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
How does this look?

mount -o rw,remount auto /
mkdir /tmp
mount sd
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /tmp
if [ -e /tmp/scriptz ]
then
list=`ls /tmp/scriptz/*.sh`
for script in $list
do
sh $script
done
fi
umount sd
umount /tmp
rmdir /tmp
mount -o ro,remount auto /

Also "ls /tmp/scriptz/*.sh" would show the complete path including /tmp/scriptz/------ and so I just used sh $script on line 10. is this ok?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
No need to mount the sdcard in the script, vold handles all that and its not used anyway. Apart from that it looks good to me.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
OK thanks man, will test this out once I get my franken-ROM runnin'(been taking up a lot of my time lately).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Zerobarat1:

Thanks to NerGaz for everything included in the fix. Thanks man

If you want to update the old script, just flash the new one(v2) to replace the old script. Just like before, to remove the script, undo.zip on first page should work just fine.

(CM7 testers needed. To test just download the new v2.zip along with the undo.zip(just in case) then add the sd patch(place on scriptz folder) script from franco's thread. Flash the v2.zip and check by "cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb" on terminal. should reply with 4096.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Magnumutz:
@ungaze: I'm using Andy's GB ROM and your first script, just got the reply and the result is 4096.

So, i guess it's working.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
Glad to hear, as NervGaz has stated:

I was also worried before that, with long scripts/tweaks, vold might catch up with init.d and catch the mount point still in use and therefore throw an error. Maybe you just got lucky with just one script. ;)

Well I suggest you still download the new script as well(and place it where it's easily flashable) just in case.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AsherChua:
Alright ungaze! I came from the past tweaks! So if I'm not wrong,I just need to flash the undo.zip and then download the tweaks and put them in a scriptz folder to replace the old ones and reboot?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
No need to undo.zip, just flash the V2 zip and all is good. For the tweaks/scripts(on the "scriptz" folder[this is getting kind of confusing lol]) just visit franco's thread for updates.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AsherChua:

I do not have access to my PC for a couple days, and I wanted to try and get this to work with Clockwork recovery.

I really do not want to edit these manually on my phone, so an android app to convert would be fantastic.

Otherwise, I'll just wait till I get back... play ample Portal 2... then get to work on this.

How to convert amend to edify scripting

I have already answered to Ungaze by PM but I will also do it here for everybody that needs it.

I am using Amend to Edify tool and have modified the phoneDatabase.xml by adding a profile entry for dynamic mount type loading (file attached). Just replace the original file.

That should be it! It is that easy ;)!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] eigokyoukan:
Wow thanks! Now I don't have to wait till I'm back in town.

You are the man mario
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Sorry for my ignorance, but what's that used for?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
I think it's quite obvious! People which have Clockworkmod are limited to edify cooked zip's so if you already have a zip (tweaks, fontpacks) cooked for amend scripting this tool converts it to edify making it compatible with recoveries that are using it.
