Root Explorer is what we used to modify everything device side, I usually only use "R.E." so I'm not sure what else there is in the market that works like it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jacklc000:
G2

Just wanted to let you know this does work on G2.....only had to adjust the values of the text files to match the CM7 Nightly kernel...works perfectly!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Orical:
Its actually designed to work for everything with a little tweaking (you obviously found what was needed to make it work), this was originally made for the Evo 3D and it was made for the MT4G after the fact, good to hear it worked for the G2.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcd2004:
I'm currently running a stock rooted 2.3.4 rom on my rooted nexus s 4g and I'm trying to flash the latest cyanogen nightly and keep receiving a message in clockwork saying it couldn't flash the file. It seems to do it with every rom I try to flash so I'm not sure what's going on with it. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cash and received this error message:

Any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
You flashed the recovery for the regular nexus s.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcd2004:
I flashed the one available in one of the original ns4g rooting threads when it was first released. How can I flash the correct one?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
I can tell its the wrong one by the error message and the recovery version.

Flash the one in my signature. Be sure to download the ns4g one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcd2004:
Forgive my ignorance, but how do I install the .img file? I typically only install things by flashing through clockwork. Thanks for the help
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
Do you have adb/fastboot setup?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcd2004:
I used to have it setup on my bootcamp partition on my mac, but unfortunately had to wipe it. So at the moment I don't. I tried following this in terminal emulator, but it said the image wasn't found.

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/3014cw.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

And I did rename mine to 3014cw, still didn't work
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
That should've worked.

If not, go ahead and download "ROM Manager" from the Market, and install CWM that way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcd2004:
Thanks for the help. I just flashed it through rom manager for the time being....I guess I should have just tried that in the first place!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
Not a problem. I didn't think of it either, as I don't normally use ROM Manager, because I usually use adb/fastboot.

When you have the time try and set that back up. It makes things like this easier. :P
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
Not sure if this is old or not but I just saw an article on Gizmodo saying HTC has put a 300 million dollar bid into Beats. They say this potentially means HTC will have better sound quality as soon as the fall comes for their latest devices.

Hooray no more crapped out quality on my HD7.

http://gizmodo.com/5829983/htc-buys-beats-all-your-bass-are-belong-to-them
[General Topics] greenstuffs:
May be HTC phones will start sounding better, currently they have the worst speakers in the market, even a huawei sounds better.
[General Topics] dreadlord369:
Ha, all this will bring is overdone bass, if anything. It will probably only bring a "Beats" branding onto the phones, thats all it did to all of the laptops that had "Beats" branded speakers. This was done just for getting a popular name onto their phones, not for quality reasons. If they wanted quality, they would've teamed up with a real company. However, if they bundle their phones with the current "Beats" headphones (and not increase the price) I wouldn't mind cause of the fact that I could easily resell them.
[General Topics] jianC:
lol ^^

They should pair up with altec-lansing.. that would be great
[General Topics] IISiDeK1CKII:
False.

They should pair up with Sennheiser or Westone.
[General Topics] synaesthetic:
An earpiece speaker is going to sound bad regardless. What HTC could do is take a page from Samsung and use a decent audio-grade DAC and op-amp in the analog stage instead of the crappy jellybeans they currently use.

The Wolfson DAC in the SGS/Nexus S line help make those phones some of the best-sounding for music out of any Android device.
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
But hey anythings better than what HTC's currently kicking out so far. My HD7 and any other device from HTC i've ever owned has horrible quality. Also at that there simply not loud enough.
[General Topics] Andhi:
They could have, but is the average person more likely to buy a phone with a Beats branding or a Senn branding
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
Completely understand what your saying but Beats is more talked about you know. Especially with HP flapping their gums about it. Besides their products are pretty good got a laptop with beats and its clarity is incredible compared to most laptops i have used.
[General Topics] IISiDeK1CKII:
my grandparents bought me HD 800's for my Graduation present and i'll never use another brand of headphones again. Sennheiser makes beats by dre sound like freaking netbook speakers.

I will never buy another HTC product again if they add a premium to their phones for hyped up garbage sounding audio from Beats....
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
Hey man you just got to live with what you get plus HTC has the hook-ups on phones when it comes to bootloaders and what not.
[General Topics] Andhi:
That was what I was saying, perhaps I worded it confusing but people are more likely to buy Beats than any other brand which is why it's a better purchase for HTC.

---

And I certainly hope your HD 800's are better than Beats considering they are $1200 more.
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
Should take a look at HTC.com their marketing them now.

Even got a vid on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5uqvcrmJCQ
[General Topics] Daeva:
I think it will be a good sound quality upgrade over the standard HTC is using at the moment.

Also it makes a lot of sense that they teamed up with Beats and not any premium quality brands like Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, etc. firstly it would make the phones way too expensive and secondly the average guy on the street has probably only heard about Beats and see that as a quality brand.

So smart move by HTC.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Damn! That's a nice present!

However, if you want better than Beats around the same price. Look no further than the Ultrasone Pro 900. Same big bass with amazing clarity. (Referring to Beats Studio)
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Also HTC has the worst cameras in the market. HTC would be better off partnering with a decent camera maker than this.

[General Topics] jmhm17:
sweeeeeeeeeet
[General Topics] redbullcat:
To the people saying this won't have much of an effect: this is much, much more than a partnership. HTC are now the majority shareholder of Beats, owning 51% of the company. I'd say this is going to make a big difference :)

But yeah, they really need better cameras.
[General Topics] xninj4:
Don't get me wrong, Dr. Dre is pretty awesome.

However, the Beats are a rip-off.

Pretty much any professional DJ headphone is the same, or (most often) superior for much less.

When buying headphones for quality, you want to look for a few things:

1. Frequency Range

2. Impedance

3. Maximum input

4. Sensitivity

5. Driver size

6. Transducer type

None of this information is listed anywhere when you buy the beats.

This is because they know you're buying them because they're:

1. Popular

2. Advertised like crazy

3. Look cool

None of which have anything to do with sound fidelity and everything to do with marketing.

Reputable brands include:

1. Pioneer

2. Denon

3. Sony

4. Senheiser

5. Allen & Heath

etc...

Enough ranting, I'm going to throw on my Denon DN-HP1000's and zone out ;)
[General Topics] xninj4:
With both my old Evo 4g and my new Evo 3d I can already hear the entire average human hearing range (20hz-20khz) with my Denon DN-HP1000's. Monster bass and crisp treble. I would love to see a higher maximum output come stock with the newer phones though.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
I agree with the higher max output. Most of my headphones arent even worth pairing with my phone. Even an iPod needs an amp to get a little extra juice with them. The only thing that does the job is my Cowon player. If you want a good media player that focuses ONLY on sound quality and not the other crap (iPod), go for Cowon.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[General Topics] MartyLK:
The deal with Cowons is the BBE sound enhancement. They do employ a Wolfson chip. But a Cowon's forte is the extravagant sound enhancement capabilities. Beyond those, the SQ is normal Wolfson quality. The 3G iPod Nano also employs a Wolfson chip and I can confirm it has exceptional SQ. In fact, Apple DAPs have been known for SQ from the beginning because of the use of high-end audio chips. Just recently, though, Apple got away from Wolfson chips. But the chips they are using in the iPhone 4 is no slouch...can't remember the name of it right off hand. Nevertheless, the iPhone 4 is primarily a DAP with build-in phone capability. It has the SQ and the battery life equivalent of the Cowons.

That's the main difference with the iPhone versus the smartphone competition. The iPhone is a high-end media playing device first and a phone second. The closest the competition comes to the iPhone 4's media playing capability is Google's Nexus S, which also employs a Wolfson audio chip. In fact, I would say the Nexus S bests the iPhone 4 in every way except battery life. But that's because the Nexus S is primary a smartphone first and then a media device.

[General Topics] DroidFreek:
i hear all this talk about sens but what about BOSE headphones. Are they still even competing or does their cost rule them out.
[General Topics] dreadlord369:
The only reason they are still in the market is cause of people with money and cause of their name. They use lots of bass which make them appealing to the public (I'll give it to them that its actually clean bass) but still a little overdone. Thats what most people look for, lots of bass, they tend to associate it with quality, they don't pay attention to the other factors because they haven't experienced true good sound. Also they tend to use very cheap parts, I have personally taken apart many BOSE speakers and headphones and have seen the parts they use. But if I had the choice I would avoid them unless I got them REAL cheap or free. I will admit however that they do have a few quality products.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add, BOSE headphones are great for sound isolation, thats another one of their good things.
[General Topics] rr5678:
I second this.
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
im not to much of a sound enthusiast. I really only like headphones that kick out good bass. But the number one factor to me is the actual device. Come on lets face it, those headphones could have been crafted by god himself but that doesn't mean squat depending on the device your playing them on.
[General Topics] Daeva:
BOSE have the best noise canceling headphones on the market, so if you travel a lot BOSE are great.

They don't make any audiophile headphones, so they aren't competing in that area, but thats not their company goal either I think.
[General Topics] DroidFreek:
Thankyou for clarifying
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I keep reading of the belovedness of the TP2. It must have been one helluva WinMo device. The last thing I recently read about it was having the best hardware keyboard. Now I am reading that it had amazing SQ.

I took a look at a TP2 and though it has an elegant design, is very thick. Nevertheless, I might try to find one. Are there a lot of custom ROMs for it?
[General Topics] mirizlivpor:
I wish HTC adds a pair of nice Beats headphones into their higher end packages :cool:
[General Topics] rr5678:
It was one hell of a WinMo device. The only problem with it was the slow ass MSM7200A
[General Topics] 5h1nob1:
I have to agree that HTC is lacking in the speaker dept. Maybe they jack the price tag on the phones because you get some "Beats" headsets with it.
[General Topics] Kiboe:
this means samsung will team up with bose.

result if that happens.......a 500 dollar phone with 1000 dollar headphones.

[General Topics] Ace42:
HTC vigor...It will be 1st phone to have the new beats with it, but I guess many of you don't know that HTC already uses SRS+Dolby Mobile in their Desire HD. Which can be ported to other HTC phones using the same snapdragon.

I'm quite enjoying the sound quality on my Asus UX21 Ultrabook, that sports Bang & Olufsen's audio solution. I can listen to music on max off of my ultrabook, with exactly 0% bleeding from my ears.

Anything is better than current HTC sound quality. But to those of you thinking beats will make your phone the best sounding thing ever, you are wrong. Beats isn't even a hardware enhancement, I had it on my vivid without it even being native to my phone. Beats has crappy sound quality with headphones, why would this be any different? Go download poweramp and you can EQ your phone to be even better than beats. Smart move by HTC though, people mindlessly flock to beats just like they flock to apple.

Well in your hypothetical situation you would obviously not care that much about the person because you'd be fine endangering their life by video chatting while driving. Therefore I'd think you'd find it kinda funny to see.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROXtarBAER:
I successfully rooted my NC 1.2 with this procedure: Barnes & Noble Nook Color: Full Update Guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki.

UPDATE: Got into recovery with a CWM SD. Used procedure to uninstall CWM without breaking root. Am now waiting to charge in order to check where I'm at. Still wondering why backing up the stock from ROM Manager caused the freeze.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
did you install a second launcher (like launcher pro) and delete tw3 before installing 4.5?

I did those to steps and I have had little issue with tw4.5.

The only issue so far was yesterday, I tried dropping some apps from the app drawer onto the home screen. Each time I did this my phone did a soft reboot, after pulling battery and rebooting several times it was still an issue. So I cleared defaults for tw and ran launcher pro and everything was fine, I switched back to tw and the issue was resolved. Not sure what caused it, but clearing data/defaults seemed to do the trick.
