You people disgust me.

XDA-Developers is about discussing mobile devices and expanding their capabilities and the like. Instead, every second thread is full of arguments and useless jargon that does not benefit anyone.

This thread was about thanking the many hard-working developers for their work and about discussing where we would be without them. I for one completly regretted my decision to buy an outdated, slow and laggy phone. This was until I found this website. I thank the devs for turning our underwhelming phones into super fast, super funcional super phones.

Yes, PlayGunsta may not be strictly classified as a "dev", but he may have been helpful to the original poster and he or she might have felt the need to thank PlayGunsta. If this has offended you for some reason, a PM to the original poster would have cleared up the seemingly unimportant matter almost instantly without any hassle.

That being said, if everyone had ignored the one post that hi-jacked this thread, there wouldn't be 9 pages of flaming wasting precious bandwidth to sift through to try and dins useful information.

In summery, If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
Closing this thread temporary for cleanup.

I think some members need some vacations to vent thereselves since they only create arguments and controversy.

I will talk with the moderation team, since wee need to stop this now

EDIT; I will keep this closed, It´s a good intention form the OP though but that is why XDA has available a a Thanks button buttons anyways that will avoid responses in thread like "hey they didn´t thank me!"...and of course the personal attacks here.

I am encounter a minor crackling sound when playing music on the stock music player in XWJPI. I am no developer but still just trying to experiment by replacing the stock music player with the some other firmware's music player. So can someone please provide me with the stock music player apk and the corresponding odex file.

musicplayer.apk

musicplayer.odex

They are at /system/app/

Users who have JPQ and JPM...please contribute. Need help.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
what do you mean by crackling sound? In CM7 on all music players but PowerAmp the music often stops for 1/3 of a second and resumes again is that what you mean?

[HTC EVO 3D] Gilliland:
Is anyone having trouble using the 3D as a phone? I'm finding that this phone drops calls WAY more often than my TouchPro2 did. Drops them in places where the TP2 sailed right through. And even when the call is well-connected, I find that I can't understand what people are saying to me over the phone, and they report the same thing about my conversation to them. I'm constantly saying "What? Could you repeat that, please?", and so are the people at the other end.

This is an amazing device for many things - Hotspot, Navigation, Music and Media, Games, etc. - but as a phone, it leaves a lot to be desired.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
I haven't had any trouble with dropped calls, but I usually have good signal when I use it. I do think the sound quality sucks compare to the evo. I called XM radio on my 3D and I could barley understand what the guy was saying. Stupid offshore call center doesn't help of course but still call quality was better on my evo. My speaker almost sounds kinda blown but I put another 3D side by side mine it sounds exactly the same.

I have an old sanyo 7050 for my work phone, call quality on that runs circles around the evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] Arnezie:
Do a search and try some of the tweaks to get better reception. If that does not work exchange it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gilliland:
I gave up on it and took it back to Sprint yesterday. It just kept dropping calls in weak signal areas, and even when calls were connected, intelligibility suffered in both directions. So I'm back to using my old Touch Pro 2, and everyone is telling me that the sound is much better. I'll miss all the cool features of the 3vo - it really is a great device in many ways - but at least now I can count on my phone to make phone calls.

Of course, I'm running Android on the TP2, so it's not as bad as it seems! :)

Now I just have to figure out what's the next great phone coming along on Sprint. Hopefully they'll come up with something new sometime later in the year.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I get the same amount if dropped calls as my EVO. Either your area has some signal issues or maybe you have a defective phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gilliland:
You mean maybe I "had" a defective phone. :) Could be. Yes, my area definitely has signal issues, always has. Sprint has the best coverage in the area, but it's not that good. Still, the difference between my TP2 and the Evo3D is dramatic. The TP2 gets through the weak spots without losing the call (in most cases). The Evo3D just drops them. I never owned the older Evo - maybe it would have had trouble here, too. But quite a few people have said that the new Evo is not as good as the old one in this area.

Maybe the next HTC will be better. I hope so. I'm sure that the 3D will be fine for those who spend most of their time in strong signal areas. But I don't recommend it for those who are farther out from the city and/or suburbs.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
Definitely sounds like it was an issue with your phone. I went from a TP2 to the 3D and haven't seen any real difference with the signal I'm pulling or my call quality. My wife tells me I sound the same, maybe better than before.
[HTC EVO 3D] sleekgreek:
Yeah I'm having issues also. My signal isn't great at my house, but my evo usually was fine, did drop calls though. The 3d is killing me, its impossible to be on the phone for any duration. Only have a few days left, wanted to throw it last night, sucks i really like this phone, but may go back.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gilliland:
Just to close the loop on this discussion, after I returned the EVO3D, I waited for Sprint to come out with an Android phone that would have better call quality. On Saturday, I bought a new Motorola Photon 4G. It is an excellent Android phone, quite comparable to the 3D in most respects. Obviously, it doesn't have Sense (which some people seem to really like - personally, I'm indifferent to it). And it doesn't have the 3D gimmick (which I consider a blessing - the Photon has an 8mp camera instead!).

But most important, the call quality is excellent. It has a much better grasp of the signal than the 3D, it has yet to drop a call. And the voice quality is much better in both directions. This is what drew me to this phone - all the online reviews that I found were consistent in noting the very good call quality. Turns out they were right.

I'm sure most people here are delighted with the 3D, and I was as well - except for the call quality issues. If you live and work where there is a strong Sprint signal, you'll probably never have a bit of trouble. But for those who live farther out from the city, where the towers are farther apart, the new Photon4G is a very good choice. I'm really glad that I made the switch!

Either way, enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] ronnienyc:
Mine dropped a bunch of calls too. I am now back to using a nexus s.
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Could just be a defective network and not the phone. Just saying.. LOL....
[HTC EVO 3D] ronnienyc:
I have not.dropped a call in years until.the 3vo. Just last week It dropped maybe 4 calls - thus the swap back to the Nexus.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
I have excellent call quality with my evo3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] Uncasual:
I'm located in Hawaii, no dropped calls but call quality isn't that great compared to Evo4G. Hopefully it's something that's fixable!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Gilliland:
Perhaps so. But the new phone is on the same network, and it's not dropping any calls. For that matter, neither did my old TP2. I guess that's really my point - the 3D doesn't do nearly as well as other phones with lower signal levels. As long as you've got good signal, it works fine. Sprint coverage is better in some places than others, so YMMV. In any event, I'm not knocking the 3D - it's a great device. It just didn't work very well as a phone in my geography.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Hm my 3D gets better coverage in my house than my Hero or Evo did, and about the same as my epic4G did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
ill be honest. this thing blows when it comes to signal. maaybe a different radio may fix it. But I used to have sprin and the OG evo(switched for tmobile and came back for the 3d)..and the coverage was so so inside my apartment. the 3d doesnt work at all. People keep telling me they are calling me and **** and my phone doesnt ring. My brothers OG Evo works fine. I want to exchange it, but I dont think a new one is going to change anything. Call quality is also terrible even in good signal areas.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deltatristar500:
Im getting my phone replaced since my camera went bad, but my biggest concern on this phone would have to be call quality. I could barely understand the sprint rep when talking to me. If they don't fix the call quality on this phone, I will have to replace it. This is ridiculous, and my HTC Hero was amazing in call quality. HTC Hero and HTC EVO 3D ran on the same network, so it must be a phone issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] JReeq:
I haven't had any issues with quality, but I guess u live in an area with strong service
[HTC EVO 3D] Dannosaur:
I did the same thing, except my evo 3d had a major screen-freakout I couldn't fix. I also had sprint buy-back my otterbox and that money went towards the car-dock for the photon (which is freaking awesome btw). The Photon is actually a wonderful piece of hardware too. It's much lighter, so it "feels" cheap, but in all actuality it's comparable build quality. The Moto UI they have in it is a lot closer to vanilla android than HTC sense IMHO, but I'm flexible as far as that goes.

There are some features I'll miss about my 3vo, but frankly the 3d imaging made me nauseous, I didn't care for Sense, and the photon does seem to have better signal/call quality.

I'd put both devices in the same tier. Dual-core powerhouses that will provide plenty of use for a long time... but I'm kinda favoring the photon, which surprises me more than anything.

[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
I guess as you've already achieved root / S-OFF etc, you find the command to S-ON there will probably be a command switch to S-OFF. Failing that, when I S-OFF'd, it produced a backup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Da9L:
Yes i do currently have S-OFF but need S-ON again because the phone is beeing returned for repairs..
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
Might be able to use rage, for temp root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Re reading your post, i'm not sure psneuter is root for 1.34 i used it to get temp root on 1.72 downgraded and used rage for root on 1.34. Look in android development for the guide to downgrade and root (no links on app) start at after the 1.34 flash bit. gfree is the app that s-off so its likely gfree can also s-on. Running gfree with no switches should give a manual page, or just search gfree switches. (I'm not responsible for bricks etc!!)

Edit, rage gives temp root on 1.34
[G2 and Desire Z General] Da9L:
Okay so i've managed to get root on the device ! Finally..

However i still have trouble running gfree.. i've tried a few methods but it gives me the same output

# /data/local/gfree -r /sdcard/part7backup-1298979588.bin
/data/local/gfree -r /sdcard/part7backup-1298979588.bin

# /data/local/gfree -s on -c HTC__Y13
/data/local/gfree -s on -c HTC__Y13
/data/local/gfree: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

I "think" i managed to get root.. when i write 'adb shell' i dont go directly to a root shell, but only '$'. Writing 'su' phone ask me if i want to let permission to give a root shell which i accept whereafter i get the '#'

EDIT: Just tried it again using a newer version of gfree.. (The one i used above was 0.4) Same problems with gfree 0.7. :( But i have an idea that it can be because of this:

When i download the file 'gfree_07.zip' am i supposed to just rename this file to only 'gfree' without any extension and then with push it to phone with 'adb push gfree /data/local/' ? OR am i supposed to open the zip file and extract the gfree file within it and then push that file to the phone ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wte75:
Yes, you must unzip gfree_0x.zip file and move the extracted gfree binary file to your phone as instructions (and this thread) states. Good luck!!!

How I wish we wouldn't need to do this kind of trickery just to use our own phones as we wish...

[Desire HD General] 1234568:
Hey all,

I am interested in the idea of using my phone to control my home theatre equipment. The ability to control any IR equipment with your phone would be a very neat feature and a nice selling point, especially as Google has made clear their intentions to enter the home automation field. However at present it seems very hard to do this with Android.

I know that a solution is to use an IR transmitter connected to the 3.5mm headphone jack. The leader in this market seems to be a company called ThinkFlood who have a product called RedEye Mini. Here's an explanation of how it works...

http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye-mini/#how-does-it-work

Unfortunately for us Android users the software is in beta testing and the RedEye Mini hardware is not compatible yet.

I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this project and whether it can be achieved yet by any other means?

Also does anyone know whether native support of IR hardware has been considered for Android. Seeing as this technology could very easily be built into phones it seems like a smart move for Google with their home automation drive and all.

I am interested to hear your thoughts and solutions.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
The concept of home automation would be improved if IR were not used at all. Line of sight comms is very limiting. On the plus side of course it means there are fewer radio waves flying round my house and frying my brain!
[Desire HD General] 1234568:
I agree 100%. I need to keep all the brain cells I can :p

Unfortunately though most home theatre equipment still relies of IR and I believe it will for a few more years. Google should jump on IR if they are serious about home automation.
[Desire HD General] a user:
if you use XBMC than there is an nice app to control it and many more.
[Desire HD General] 1234568:
Controlling the PC is easy as apps can communicate with it via my home network. The problem I have is using my phone to communicate with other equipment such as my TV and AV receiver. For these the only way I can think of controlling them is via IR.
[Desire HD General] zokama:
edcoppen, as far as I know you have 2 options for IR on Android:

1/ - Already available DIY solutions -

You can check the Androlirc application (that would be me!)

And a friend of the project has developed a enhanced Audio2IR module that is called Irdroid (mine was just a proof of concept)

You'll have to be (or get) familiar with LIRC to go down that path.

2/ - Anounced and "soon to be available" IR equipped Android devices -

Touchsquid

Conspin Andi One

That a lot of link dropping for a first post, I hope xdadevelopers will let me submit that... (Submit...) Yeah, that's what I thought, you'll just have to look for web sites by yourself then.

Anyway I think we're gonna get some action in the IR/Tablet world soon... Until we get rid of that 30 years old, one way tech (on the plus side, it "owns" 100% of the market and the battery autonomy for a traditional remote control has to be measured in years... that's close to an infinity in the Android world)!
[Desire HD General] Never_OutGunned:
Quite interesting that there will be IR equipped mobile devices any more. I thought the technology would die out. I actually still carry my Nokia N73 with me and from time to time change the channel on the TV in the pub. Great fun!!!
[Desire HD General] StreetGuru:
Yeah, I had a nokia 7650 ten years ago with an IR transmitter/receiver and used to have so much fun changing channels in my sports bar. I reckon the technology has less interest nowadays as we move further into the digital age. The best and easiest way to automate your home theatre and stereo systems is to connect them to a pc and control everything from your phone. there are tons of apps in the market that allow you to do this. I have tried a few and am currently using three I find the best: Unified remote (specifically for their spotify remote, which now a days is my stereo system, but they have tons of other remotes and works great over LAN), phonemypc (for me one of the best vnc apps in the market) and remote desktop client, a great RDP app. Whatever you can connect to your pc (with the right hardware/firmware you can even connect all the appliances in your home, even your lights and air-conditioned, to a main server) you can control from your phone, either through LAN - using your home network - or even away from home using the internet (WAN). IR is an obsolete technology in the digital age.
[Desire HD General] 1234568:
I dont agree that it is a dead technology... yet! Most AV devices in the home still rely on it and unless i'm mistaken cannot be connected via the PC. Take for example my Samsung TV or my Harman Kardon AVR. I really want to be able to control these from my phone and cant find a viable solution. I have all the apps you mentioned and none of them help me here. You say via the right hardware/firmware can help... but what hardware would you use to connect the two devices I named to a PC, and how mush does it cost?

If an IR transmitter could be built into a watch 10 years ago I see no reason why it coultn't easily be added to a mobile phone. I know its personal preference but I would see it as a strong selling point.
[Desire HD General] kevin_barr:
IR hardware range too weak

My older HTC Windows phone had IR support, I had hoped to install AV remote sw on it. Found out the hard way that the IR range on many phones that had the hardware was only a few feet. It was intended as a bidirectional business card sharing type of thing before bluetooth took over. I'm thinking bluetooth is why most phones don't even have the IR hardware built in anymore.

I'm currently looking for a T-Mobile Froyo phone that has IR with sufficient range for AV remote use, any experts out there?

I don't want to depend on any dongles plugged in to the phone, but I would consider an external wireless box that had the IR command set and transmitter and a wireless way to communicate with the phone, preferably bluetooth so I don't have to turn on the wifi radio every time I use it.

i have a new enough Sammy tv to use DLNA etc, but that means turning on the wifi.

Does anybody no how to get it working again? Have all the original files in the right places. May it be that i've deleted something when i was deleting some systemapps and bloatware, does bootanimation needs anything like an app or something? Also i changed the build.prop for showing no bootanimation, but offcourse i turned it back.
