I've been toying with different music players, and all of them except the stock music player (as far as I know) on my Sensation 4G (the tmobile one) do not play nicely with Navigation.

When the music cuts out on the stock app, the music pauses, navigation says the direction, and music resumes normally. However, when using a non-stock music player (AFAIK) it will pause the music, faintly (almost inaudible) say what I can only assume is the direction, and then resume the music. Has anyone else experienced this issue and, more importantly, know how to fix it outside of just using the stock music player?

NOTE: I don't think it's Sensation specific, as a thunderbolt user has the same issue http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1114107.
[HTC Sensation] Muhamadabdelaall:
Yes, I have the same problem in a different way. I have downloaded a "Svox" TTS & when I have the navigaton in background while the Youtube streaming on top, the navigation is almost can't be heared so I will go back to the stock TTS & see the result.

Is there a way to change the Samsung splash screen on the initial boot screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Khyrdantai:
Only way I know right now is through a custom ROM. I think all of them changes it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Corvette Dave:
Mobile tech has some ways of doing it. When I had my vibrant I was able to change the screen. Mobile tech is on xda amd you can search you tube for videos.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if it is I the kernel then yes but you need to compile your own kernel, not really sure where it is but I'm sure somebody could figure it out. if it is in the param.ifs then dagr8 in the captivate section had a way to do this, it doesn't look easy but maybe he'd be willing to work with someone on this. he had a Chinese i9088 rom ported to the captivate with the two splash screens replaced and the boot animation with one that matched the splash screens and the live wallpaper. the boot sequence was almost seemless. it gave the rom a definite cool factor that the others didn't have even if the theme was kinda ugly and the boot process took forever with the included kernel.

the splash might also have to do with bootloaders. on 2.3.3 on the captivates the i9000 bootloaders will give you a i9000 splash screen before the param.ifs and kernel splash screens.

the captivate had a lot on animations and splash screens. luckily this phone does not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
I was a HUGE collaborator of that with dagr8 on this one... the biggest issue though would be if you get a bad param.lfs on there, you HARD brick the device into the land of no return.... I would flash another pararam.lfs on here, but I'm not willing to risk it....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 13_:
Ok. This is the deal, I have modified a param.lfs a couple weeks ago for the Infuse. It is tested and works. It uses the mobiletech batch,modified a lil. I was going to up it as a package for everyone after asking all before me I learned/read from for their permission BUT ......

...... The Samsung screen you are asking about is in the kernel. The Infuse appears to have a blank(skips) boot screen. Modifying it is successful but you will then have 3 screens... Boot,kernel,animation....

Honestly, with a blank boot I'd just leave it alone. As far as the Samsung screen... It is compiled with kernel... So a Dev would need to do it or you can grab their sources, modify and compile yourself.

IF anyone wants the package I will upload it tomorrow morning. Its just been sitting.

....now if the boot orders and pics change for GB ... I'll do that up as well.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] 13_:
So, I'm awake ... lol

Working param.lfs boot screen replace/add. Note- THIS ADDS a Screen - it does not remove the SAMSUNG screen in the kernel.

I'm just gonna leave this here. I take absolutely no credit for this, with the exception of time spent playing with the hex editor. I take no responsibility for damage to your device, use at own risk. Though, I'm sure I or someone else here would be more than happy to help if problems were encountered.

This param.lfs is a modified version of the stock Infuse param.lfs.

*The Instructions in the video are how it needs to be done. See the purple star above ;)

~tl;dw

Requires Rooted device

-DL package and unrar

-Change pic in Testing ADB batch folder to one of your choosing(or not ...lol)

-Reboot into DL mode(the digger)

-Open ODIN, Infuse_Boot_Froyo_param_lfs.tar goes in PDA slot ( verify re-Partition IS NOT checked.

-Connect phone to pc, verify comm.

-Hit start to flash, on success disconnect phone from pc

-Phone reboots (may have garbled screen, normal)

-Set screen time off to 10min. (this is temporary) and USB debugging is ticked.

-connect phone to pc, run batch (Infuse_froyo_boot_screen.bat) the jpg in the folder is now pushed to your /mnt/lfs folder.

- ^ During this you may be asked for super user permissions up to 2 times(On The Phone). This is why the screen timeout change. If you miss it or are to slow you can just run the bat again.

-Reboot... success????

-Change your screen timeout back to normal setting

tl;dr >see the Cyan star above ;)

I attached the logo pic only for a visual, it is included in the rar.

If your phone starts smokin' the crack or you have second thoughts on your sexxy screen, I am attaching the Orig param.lfs also. Flash through Odin , yada, yada,yada

If you install my Bionic Kernel you would see not only is it very easy to do, but awesome! I kernel developer by the name of Morfic(Team Whiskey) even made scrips to do it from GImp.

If you go to his gitub profile , search via Google , you can download it.

You make your image in gimp ( 480x800 , C++ Header file and 24bit ) , save it , run it through this script , then place it in your kernel source and compile. Thats it. Easy as pie.

is that the one from reefermatness?

anyway this thread started as a question that probably doesnt belong here and ended up as informative, very cool, i hope to see fully themed roms from the bootloader splash to the param.ifs and kernel to the boot ani to the wallpapper when gingerbread come out. maybe we can make one or two splash screens blank, not sure how that works with the 2.3.3 bootloaders. i know the bootloaders have had the image changed in the vibrant section, maybe we can make that blank.

Bootloader Image

If the i997 has been updated to Gingerbread would this technique still work? I know when we updated the Cappy over to the GB bootloaders there was a different load we had to do because it used a different block for the image file on the updated bootloaders. Does the same apply here. Thanks in advance for any updates!

I am running GB 2.3.6 myself and was wondering if find a solution for this? I was reading about the Captivate model from http://www.mmacleod.ca/blog/2011/01/removing-the-att-boot-screen-from-a-samsung-captivate/

I understand the params.lfs would most likely be different.

I did find the /mnt/.lfs/logo_ATNT.jpg which for my phone has the ROGERS logo that is displayed upon booting the device (though I don't see this directory on my rooted and unlocked ROGERS Captivate Glide which has the same ROGERS logo upon booting the device).

I know it seems trivial to some but this is the only thing that ruins an otherwise nice phone (since they do not put the ROGERS logo anywhere on the case) and the same issue for the Captivate Glide (yes, I know, another forum).

Thanks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
From what I've read, the effect is crazy buggy for some reason. Seems like it would be simple, but maybe LG's modifications make that worse, since it clearly works on cm7 and aosp based roms.

Granted, cm7 uses AOSP source code also, but you get the point.

It could also just be buggier on 2.3.3 and one of the minor fixes to 2.3.4 fixed it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skater4690:
I agree/ disagree it worked fine for me when I had it but it was crazy as in the animation seemed like it was sped up and I'm sure it has something to do with LG I think they tweaked the speed for all animations to be faster so for things like the crt animation it doesn't look right
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
I had forgotten about that. You're probably right actually. I do remember in the early stages of the G2X, some devs didn't put in the animation because it was buggy.

They probably just did it to make the phone seem faster than it is, and now can't figure out how to make the one effect slower. The irony is that running cm7 based roms, the phone still feels blazing fast. I guess that's life.

Right now in Rom Manager, I only see MIUI available for download.

There are sections for gapps, extras and cyanogenmod

I guess cyanogenmod is empty as they have not released anything but nightlies.

This is in the free version of Rom Manager.

Is this what everyone else sees?

Why are there not more roms?

Is there some update I need to perform?

I kinda expected to see OMGB OMFGB and some others
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:

Interesting observation, perhaps the coding Guru's can take into account. I noticed that at home where I seem to have perfect 4g signal, my battery lasts nearly 20+ hours and seems great.

My wife, who works at a hospital also noticed that at work she barely gets 6 hours and has to swap batteries constantly. Her phone also seems to always been warm and the battery info reports the same data that it always does(Blaming the screen). She's been complaining to me for a while, threatening to want to go back to the iphones and I've been trying to look for a solution.

So fast forward some time, I notice that when I go to an area with spotty service(an Office in Delaware that I occasionally visit), I'm lucky to get 6 hours of life on my phone. It also was exhibiting the same luke warming heating that my wife had been complaining about. I disabled data and got it to straggle by, but then I also experimented with wifi.

The wifi in that office is super strong and when I connected to wifi with my phone instead of having it constantly search for Edge/3G/LTE, it would just sit on wifi and never bother searching for signal.

This boosted the life from the 6 hours to 14 hours. I also recommended the same to my wife and she went from 6 hours to 18 hours(Better Wifi signal and no 4 hour train ride with spotty signal searching)

So, perhaps the radio logic is way too aggressive on these phones and if there was a way to make them just calm down and not look for 5 minutes if it doesn't find signal, perhaps they wouldn't burn themselves out.

Is there a way to reduce the radio aggressiveness? Cause quite frankly, if I don't have signal the second I walk out of the subway, I could really care less. Polling every 5 minutes is totally fine by me and it would be even better if it was configurable.

Anyways, perhaps others who are suffering with terrible battery life could experiment and see if enabling wifi extends their battery longetivity.

Cheers!

I know wifi increases battery life, and and on the flipside if you don't have a strong wifi signal it will keep trying to find one... But my question is how much drain?

I drove to work in Queens from central new jersey (about an hour and a half and the battery drained about 60% with the wifi switched on. Is this the fault or do I have another problem?

[Verizon Droid Charge] superslow:
I want to say that it drained purely because it was trying to find any signal, even if Wifi was off, I'd be willing to wager that it would have still lost that much battery life on the drive in.

All this still makes me think that if the devs could find the logic that controls the radio probing and allow it to be set based upon configurable options, our battery lives would be tremendously better.
[Verizon Droid Charge] acPIZZA:
So it is reasonable to assume the wifi search drained it that much? I I doubt it was general lte/data searching -new york is pretty covered

Has anyone else been having trouble running juice defender on the Charge? I have tried 3 different roms, uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and nothing seemed to work so i just left it off. Today i decided to give it a go again and found something that works.

I uninstalled juice defender and ultimate juice, battery pull, download juice defender ultimate and opened it, reinstalled juice defender when it asked me to install it in ultimate juice.

It has been working for me all day(since 9 AM) without a hitch. 4g is popping riht back on for me as soon as i unlock the.phone. If anyone else wants to give this a go and see if it works let me know. I was pretty bummed when i found out this app would not work with the Charge.

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. I made the mistake and I'm paying for it till my neo hybrid arrives. It's not too tight when you get it, but after a month the device freely moved in it, and there's a lot of space between the battery cover and the case. The matte finish which I liked so much about it is wearing off at the corners too. Holes are well aligned though, but it's lifespan is 2 months tops.

I just recently unlocked bootloader, flashed 2.3.4 pudding and rooted and am experiencing insane battery life. For example, this morning I unplugged at 7:30 am and had work at 9 am. I work at AT&T so I am on my phone a significant amount of the day especially compared to the 'heavier' users out there. This morning was extremely slow and I spent most of the morning downloading and installing apps mostly from 4shared.com, heavy usage. Later in the day I used the phone for 3 customer service calls, all fairly lengthy. I also had set my cpu to 1000 MHz using SetCpu and my brightness cranked all the way up. I let 4 of my employees use my phone to demo for customers and showed my front row video of Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America 5 or 6 times. All the while playing Words with Friends with the old lady and sending and receiving about 50 texts. Pretty heavy use and a typical day for me.

It is 8 pm and I am at 40% still!! I am thoroughly impressed after 2 days of flashing new rom.
