[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I'm annoyed with my Ace's stock players album art quality. Why SGSII have so beautiful artwork, when SGA have this blurry mess? I know it's more powerful phone, but then why PlayerPro or PowerAmp, even CloudSkipper can read embedded artwork with no problems? It's annoying... I don't like other media players on the market, I tried like 15 of them... Maybe someone knows how to mod Stock player? This seems so simple, yet so difficult for me... :(

P.S. I also did my digging and found out it could be done not only by modifying Music player, but OS itself... but I don't understand a word there. I know basic stuff about modding, like changing a icon, I understand Root, CWM, filesystem.. etc... but i'm no hacker... It's here by the way http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755844

P.S.S. All my artwork is like >500x500
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
Not sure how you define the quality of the artworks, but the ones on my ace look (at least in my opinion ;)) quite good. I'm using CM right now, what is your ROM?

And is your artwork embedded or is it a file in the music folder? I think the music-app can use both of them. I once had the problem that no cover was shown, so i took a look and saw that the embedded cover was empty, and thus the app didn't show anything. Maybe your problem is somehow related to the one i had.

Also you could upload a screenshot, maybe it helps people arround here diagnose your problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
I'm using stock 2.3.6 XWKT7 build. Just because CF-Root is so awesome.

My artwork is embedded (I use Mp3tag and to get artworks - AlbumArt Downloader, where I download my high res images) and I also tried to copy them to music folder.

Screenshot is in the attachment (in zip because forums convert any images to jpg with quality loss). Maybe not the best example, but you can see that the colors are bit washed out and it's not as sharp as it should be.. I envy iPhone users. :D On the right there is PowerAmp reading directly from embedded *.jpg file. On the right Zimly player which uses "albumthumbs" folder found on sd card. Sorry for not providing with stock music player, but right now I have some "technical difficulties" with that. I'll do that later, but the thing is, it's the same for all players who use this way of providing album artwork, they use albumthumbs folder.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
No-one? Please?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ace_viknesh:
Albumart is difficult to change. Its part of the song file...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
It's not difficult at all and the problem isn't the mp3 itself.. it's problem of software for creating album thumbnails in low quality, even if the embedded image is high quality...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
Sry, but I cant see any problems with quality.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
Well, but I see... it's very noticeable for me... you can't even compare it to iPhone...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailpancholi:
I think yu must be using chainfire....disable it and den try
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
Chainfire disabled makes no difference. Well I guess I'll have to stick to PowerAMP.. but still.. if somebody knows something, help is appreciated... But thanks nevertheless.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailpancholi:
Try factory resseting and use stock rom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Emillister:
Nope, it's all the same on all Roms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] weepaulz:
Hi all,

Trying to update my villain rom to 3.0 so copy over the zip file to the root of my sd card.

Boot up my Clockwork Mod menu and search for the file but not there?!!

Any ideas or workaround to get this on?:confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
I have the latest ( I think I have it) Sony Home Launcher. I was wondering how people themed the dock and app drawer to look like ICS? I already have the 4 icons done,just the dock background and app drawer icon I need.

I was also wondering if it's just me or is there a big gap between the 4th row of icons and the dock? I remember in the first version (out of the box) it was normal but not it looks ugly.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
The file can be found somewhereinside the apk. Just seatch, you will find it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
How do I search within the .apk? Can I use Root Explorer?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Atarii:
Yes, an .apk is just an archive
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
Hi all

On my Sensation today a few times its just closed down when im surfing away, when i restart it, its fine. Its not a big issue but its kinda annoying.

This happened to anyone else??

Chris :p
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Happened to me too. I just ignore it really.
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
RAM overload. Happens all the time when your looking at heavy webpages, commonly with flash on then but it doesn't always have to have it on.

Browser on 2.3.4 is quite flawed in some aspects.
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
many thanks for your replies, i feel better now :)
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
No problemo!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
I'm running Nova and CWM9 and whenever I connect the phone to USB or a charger the phone wakes up automatically forcing me to push the power button evey time I connect it to turn off the screen.

Anyone know if it's possible to disable this "feature"?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
I believe stock does that too. That would be an interesting tweak if it's not already around! In terms of disabling, I'm not sure there is an option to do so.

Sent from my GNex running gummy v0.7.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Confirm stock does it as does Apex; presumably it's set somewhere basic in ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Its in developer options. Untick 'stay awake' (if I understand the question!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
And this is a problem why? Its just indicating to you that its plugged in properly and charging... the screen will time out and turn off a few seconds later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
Thanks for checking!

It is interesting that Google would assume everytime you plug the phone in (and unplug the phone) you would want it to wake up. Considering the short battery life these phones have, lots of charging would be commonplace and therefore lots of connecting/disconnecting without the intent to actually use the phone.

I could see giving people the option to have the phone do that - but for me the unplug wakeup is especially annoying because I have to turn it off everytime I go to put it in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well considering by stock there's no charging LED indicator, turning the screen on momentarily to indicate a charging state is a smart idea.

Also, if you're plugging it in, why are you worried about the battery drained by keeping the screen on for 10 seconds? 10 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
Well that's that I thought too, but sometimes it doesn't go back to sleep like it should and I'll notice my pocket getting quite warm pull it out and it's still on.

It could be a bug in the ROM I'm running (not going to sleep correctly all the time) but I don't remember my DINC doing that so I figured it was something that just needed to be disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
Hmm, I did have this option enabled - mainly because when I connect it to the charger I do like it to stay on -prime example using Slacker Radio in my car when plugged into the dock.

Maybe I'll try a different ROM since it seems the problem isn't so much that I need to disable to wakeup on connect/disconnect but instead I need the sleep function to be more reliable so I don't have a mini oven on my pocket.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] propyls:
A great option for your car dock needs would be to introduce something like the app Tasker. Then you could leave the screen off but have tasker set it to constant on and load slacker when the Bluetooth connection to your car happens.

Hello! i was wondering if i could get recommendations for a fast rom that incorporates sense 3.5/3.0? i've looked at some of the ones on the rom listing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249328 but unfortunately it seems most of them are riddled with bugs :( thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
as far as i know, the only semi good sense 3.5 rom is SOAB from the bamf folks.

you have to understand that our phones were never meant to run sense 3.5.. so i doubt it will ever be 100% bug free on the thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
Eternity Rom

ETERNITY ROM

Awesome, stable, rock-solid sense 3.5 rom for the Thunderbolt ;)

Based off of Runnymede, not Bliss.
[Thunderbolt General] lacrosse1991:
thanks :D i tried eternity and thought it was an awesome setup! going to try pairing the lean kernel with it and see if i can possibly improve performance :)

i only run bamf roms on my wifes tbolt (soab currently)

there wouldnt be sense 3.5 on the bolt if not for them (well ones with working data anyway)
[Thunderbolt General] init_dot_t:

Yeah, I know I'm a little late commenting on this! :-P
[Thunderbolt General] toklas:
wow no one is on gingeritis3d? ..hmm well my lone vote for g3d!

[Thunderbolt General] hondan8:
+1 for eternity. one of my faves 3.5 or not
[Thunderbolt General] LightDark:
For sure eternity it is the best one i have used for the thunderbolt so far in smoothness and overall stability.
[Thunderbolt General] Panzer87:
I like eternity as well. You may also look at Nickxxsfk almost sense 4.0. It's very fast and smooth sense rom
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Try eternity, airborne, or soab, all three are winners, you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Soab is one of my favorite 3.5 sense roms, but i also really like the airbourne rom. its desensed for the most part but still has some of the features that are nice with sense.

hi, im not sure if this is the right place to be posting about miui so i apologize if im posting in the wrong place.

i recently flashed the miui 2.2.3 rom and have noticed the the battery goes down quite quickly, does anyone else notice this ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Sometimes this has happened to me and I was wondering on how to fix it and if anyone else has had this issue. Recently when I am in an app and I try to use my Hard keyboard if I press any of these keys it launches an app

(e - email

l - calender

p - don't recall.

g - gmail)

Anyone else see this ever. Usually I just use the onscreen keyboard when this happens and later it works again. This happened to me in the facebook app and also in dolphin browser.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Check Applications --> Quick Launch and see if you have any keys assigned to those apps.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
It's my quick launch I think my search key was acting like it was pressed even though it wasn't. Thank you. Most have been stuck. Thank you.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clockwork58:
It happens when you press the app key once by accident on the top left of the keyboard. Press it again and it turns off the shortcuts.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] shatteredzman:
The app key? Which one is that? This happens to me a lot and I just mash on the keyboard until it goes away. I also am having problems with the keyboard not working at all. Sometimes I open the phone up and the whole keyboard stops working and I have to reboot the phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Also once I was on Dolphin browser and I was logging into Google plus and my numbers were acting funny. I could not press the ALT button to activate the numbers I had to hold the ALT then press the numbers. I thought that was weird.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lookin4Trouble:
Do you know any way to disable Quick Launch? Or maybe disabling all the pre-assigned things? --Do Not Want--

Thanks

L4T
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Long press on the shortcut and it should give you an option to clear it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] eggwolio:
The default shortcuts are the search button plus a letter. It happened to me once, and after pushing the search button on the top right of my keyboard a few times, everything started working fine again. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kevlarheart:
Keyboard not working...at all

Hey all

CM11, official with apps installed the Captivate Glide physical keyboard is hit or miss. Since the physical keyboard is the WHOLE REASON to try to modify this older phone, its functionality is important. Physical keyboard ALT commands (#'s etc) do not work in any application. The letter keys works...sometimes. I have used default keyboard settings and have no idea whehter there is a fix on the main CM11 thread.

Many thansk!:good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thefusor:
Alt is a non stick key

Well the thing is alt in cm11 is not a sticky key but its non stick . What i mean by that is that if you wanna type '1'. Keep 'ALT' pressed and hit the number '1' in blue on the keyboard. the alt key dosent seem to stick for some reason.

this is actually cause of the google ime treating our physical qwerty as a desktop keyboard i think where alt is also non stick.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kevlarheart:
"Alt" doesn't work at all -- even if held during typing. I will keep searching for keyboard fixes I guess. Since the keyboard is 100% of the reason to use the Captivate Glide, it's utility is a major issue. Many thanks for your reply! :cowboy:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
I really love this rom but I would love to see some of our great themers do a theme for this rom I haven't seen much themes lately I have a few ideas if anyone is interested..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
What are you looking for? I have a version of Blue Transfusion that I made but never released. Post your idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
nice :D it would be kool if you put that in your OP! how about like a grey with red or grey with blue? like the main color grey with red or blue "trim"? lol havent seen it yet, so i cant post anything related to that. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Ill try to add it to OP tomorrow night. I've almost got a new theme done, it's cyan based, I've been putting quite a bit of time in. There's not a lot of cyan fans, but I really like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
Alrighty :) thanks a lot DnC. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sstriker:
A red one would be sick. I think leaving everything the same and only changing what is blue to red. I love the blue but would like to see how red would look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
ya it would look good..BUT it cant be like a BRIGHT red like the themes we have now such as dark fire or bloody red ics. too bright of a red. i would say like a dark red :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
I hope someone takes this on. I would make more colors if it did not take so long. I just have to much going on right now.

I feel for anyone that tries to remove all the blue from my theme. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
I'll stick with Blue Fusion for this rom. I'll post it later this evening. That would take forever changing all of the blues. You have one of the most accurately themed roms I have ever used, and it looks great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
I added a version of Blue Transfusion to the OP of my thread located here, for Blu Kuban. I still need to work on the icons. Couldn't get a lot of them to stick. I also didn't do hardly any theming to his apps, because he has them done so well. I may even change it back to his original icons all together, but I'm working on another theme right now, and will fix it when I get more time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
I love the battery icon from blue kuban from with no battery % it be cool to see some different colors like maybe gold and black or grey and black or a dark purple if I wasn't so busy I'd take more time aside to finish learning how to theme and I could help out it would feel pretty good to be another woman themer lol. But thank you all for the hard work you put into the roms and themes

There's a working ICS port for Samsung Epic 4G Touch:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
The answer is we do have ics. Just go to the i9100 forums and flash cm9 if your that desperate. In call audio does not work and the back button and search key don't work.

And btw this has been discussed many times

Why cant the DEV's figure out how to use the code from it??? :p

Damnit - here we go again....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
We don't have ICS because we don't have epic 4G touches. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, the Epic 4G Touch does not have working ICS - that build could not be considered working or functional by any measure, just look at the list of things that are broken.

If you took an I9100 ICS release and flashed it on the I777 with no modifications, it would be more usable than that E4GT release.

Edit: FYI, that massive list of epic brokenness is the result of trying to make a 2.6.35.x kernel compatible with ICS on an Exynos device - it looks quite similar to what was listed as broken on I9100 CM9 before they moved to initramfs repacks of the leaked kernel binaries.

[Ideos S7 Themes and Apps] gonzule:
Hello,

Does anybody have or know how can i install the default huawei launcher that comes with this tablet into a huawei phone? What is the launcher name?

I saw some pictures, and when it is in landscape mode you have a big clock on the top left corner and some nice black buttons at the bottom with shortcuts to some apps (i think).

thanks in advance.
[Ideos S7 Themes and Apps] xaueious:
If you had the original Android 2.1 firmware, the only way to do this was to side load a launcher and then remove or freeze the Huawei launcher.

This was fixed in Android 2.2, where you can use any launcher you want.

I'm currently using Legacy Launcher because it lets me up the font sizes...
[Epic 4G General] youngnick09:
I've been using my Epic to connect to my car bluetooth for both the phone and audio streaming for months now. All the roms I've flashed always worked and I've never had an issue. I just recently flashed to the official MIUI rom a couple weeks ago and I'm starting to have issues. At first, everything worked like normal when I synced it to my car. But, now my Epic only connects to the bluetooth when the screen is on. As soon as the screen turns off, the phone disconnects from the car completely. If I am playing music from my phone through the car, the music plays normally until the phone screen turns off, then the music stops playing. Has anyone heard of this issue before or does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thank you in advance.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Sounds like an miui problem... is battery an issue? If not download Screen On from the market place and have it not let your screen go off for the music app or whatever your trying to use. Just a temporary fix.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raex:
When i got my xperia x10 the android version was 2.3.x (i dont know the last number any more), but i couldnt use it with my new sim-card (different provider), so i took it to a store where a guy sim-unlocked it and when i got it back the android version was 2.1.1-update..........but it was sim-unlocked, i then asked this guy if i could update it to 2.3.x or if it would be locked again after the update........he didn't really seem to know but told me not to update because it would relock just as an iphone does he said.......but as i said before, he didnt really seem to know.

So my question is, will it be sim-locked again after i update to 2.3.x (with pc-companion) or not, i really need to be absolutely sure, i dont want to pay (35€) again.

Thanks in advance ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Not 100% but no don't think it will re-lock. I'd get a definitive yes or no though I don't want to ruin your phone (as I said, not 100%)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raex:
thanks but the problem is that the guy i bought the phone from (not the one in the shop!) told me it was unlocked and he just updated it before he gave it to me and he could still use it with two different sim-cards from two different providers, but i couldnt use it with my sim-card (3rd other provider).........he didnt know why it didnt work with my sim-card, but after the guy in the shop downgraded it to android 2.1 and sim-unlocked it (again???) it worked,..........so i am actually a bit confused because everyone except of the guy in the shop tells me it wont relock but it seems that it has relocked (to 2 different providers???) after the guy i bought it from updated it..........CONFUSIIIIIING

Thats why i really need to be a 100% sure, maybe i need a real expert?!
