Hi,

No.1 - Buy better headphones. (Yes, harsh but true - sorry). Money is not equal to quality especially in the headphone world.

No.2 - If I have to use headphones (being a headphone fanatic) the sound quality unfortunately is bad but when I use Samsung SGS2 -> Fiio E7 Amp it is a bit better but not as good as my Cowon S9. Please dont expect too much from the SGS2 if you want quality.

I did a review here with some fairly nice earphones - Go to: http://www.head-fi.org/t/575703/galaxy-sii-which-iems

(aman p is me) :P

EDIT: The bass response and impact on your headphones is also not good (rubbish really), sell them and buy Meelec A151's. They are cheap and miles better Than the Bose's that you have.

Rockbox is basically putting a custom firmware and interface on your device.

Sansa clip is famous because it is VERY CHEAP, reasonably powerful and with rockbox firmware you can use eq very effectively.

Rockbox is available for Android but i've never tried it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] imlgl:
Sound, bass and treble is perfectly with my klipsch S4, with Voodoo it boosts it to a level in which I get distortion as it is going over the levels which the earphones can handle.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Galactus:
amandeepphull explained this right. got my sansa clip for £33 4gb version. Added a 32gb sandisk memory card to it from amazon for £22. Rockbox basically allows you to mold the music to your tastes. The m2's don't have the greatest treble in the world so adding a subtle amount of eq to the highend does wonders. It does add other features as well (gapless playback) and my god ReplayGain is a godsend :D. For some reason I wasn't impressed with the rockbox on android, could put that down to the poor audio on the phone though
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
Get voodoo louder, support supercurio! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SufiSam:
Does anyone have settings for good bass in Rockbox? I tried messing around, but didn't understand a thing.. I'm not an audiophile, you know...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
If volume output is an issue then you should try Voodoo Louder from Supercurio (available in the Market). Significantly boosts loudness.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elemetrix:
Just buy yourself a Fiio E5 Amp http://www.fiio.com.cn/product/index.aspx?ID=6&MenuID=020301

Ideal for any headphones that need a bit more power to them and they cost hardly anything. It also has a Bass Boost switch.

So i finally managed to find a stock vodafone rom on android 2.3.4 with dutch, however i cannot get any a2sd script working. Anyone else now how to fix this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
What happens if you try flashing darktremor?

By the way, why did you return to stock firmware?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARieS_:
Maybe kernel don't support.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Proper support for dutch language :cool: And the stock look of gingerbread, wich i like. BUt if there is no way to get a2sd to work then i go straight back to cm7. Darktremor a2sd does not do anything, in terminal it says illegall command and a2sdgui says something is wrong. Also ad2sdx does not work, s2e does not work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It won't work, since you're on the stock ROM with stock kernel. You need kernel that supports A2SD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
WHat kernel supports stock rom and a2sd? Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Any Gingerbread kernel that is marked as suitable for AOSP or AOSP/CM7 should do. Look at the kernel threads, this info will most likely be in the thread title.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
There are so many kernels... Bloody hell! Anyways i would like to use a kernel that is suitable for ad2sdx. Can you please also provide install instructions? (noob here)

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Install instructions are pretty much straightforward. Reboot to recovery, flash kernel, reboot, see that OS is loading and feels fine, reboot to recovery, flash A2SD, reboot, see that everything's still fine, open Terminal Emulator or A2SDGUI, configure what you want.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newoperative:
I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my Legend a few weeks back. It was running ok, today I thought about overclocking it. I had overcloced it before to 745 (or something) and it had worked fine so I thought about overclocking it to 850 (or something). As soon as I did that, it hanged for a while and then restarted.

Now everytime I start it, it restarts before I can do anything. All i managed was to enter the performance settings menu, but I cannot reach far enough to reset the CPU settings (it restarts)

Is there any other way I can reset the values, some file or something. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
What program are you using to over clock. Funnily this happened to me when I attempted to Oc (using setcpu) my legend to 864. However I installed the setcpu widget and I was able to change the speed asap. Maybe if you pressed fast enough then you might be able to restart before it restarts. But if all Is lost then factory reset is the way to go.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newoperative:
I was using the cyanogenmod 7 performance settings (settings>cyanogenmod>performance>cpu settings).

But I managed to reset it. I took out the memory card in hope that it will give me more time to reach the settings, and when I opened the CPU settings it was set to 600 MHz. looks like the settings were stored in memory card.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrammarFreak:
Hm

For future reference, don't check "restore on boot" until you know it's stable ;)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrekmichalski:
Hi

In my case, overclocking is possible up to 844mhz, but I have reboot after few minutes. Max stable value is 806mhz (for me).

Maximal frequency depends of phone, every Legend are different. For one max is 768, for other maybe it 864.

Greetings

Sorry for my language
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyionx:
gosh... reading this post brings memory the last time i was messing with the performance thingy.... have to wipe my legend to get rid of the OC setting was my fastest option... but lost my unbackup data.

well you can try flashing your rom without wipe and hope things got back to normal.

on oc testing

my advice is this.... do your nandroid backup before doing OC testing...

if you have setcpu for OC testing... dont use the main bar to test oc...

but you can have setCPU to OC if certain condition like charging the phone is meet.

then if your system gone nuts just unplug the usb (not charging) and it will go back to main setting.

if you are using cyanogenmod performance setting.... do as TGF say.. do not set on reboot before you are sure that the system is stable...

plus you better nandroid backup first before messing with your phone...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
My phone runs stable at 787............and I'm quite satisfied about the performance. But only because I have the power to, I'm thinkin about trying higher frequensies. Should I? Or it is an unnecessary risk?

Also, is there any preffered way to "try out" the performance once you set a new Max MHz?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whip Jay:
I just installed CM9 beta1 and I'm having troubles with the overclocking. I tried the 768MHz but it freezes after a few seconds. Is there a way to overclock to a specific speed? I saw a while ago some guy saying that at aroung 728MHz it does a great job. I have kernel 2.6.35.13-htc-msm7x27-ics.

I got a bug, don't know if it's related to the ROM or the overclocking but when I set the minimum speed to 19MHZ, like on stock Legend, when I tried to wake my phone, it seemed to be stocked at 19MHz, so I couldn't do anything, had to take battery out. Happened to anyone else? It happened to me once since yesterday.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuestnLegend:
overclocking

I'm sure most of you probably know this but just in case..... If you get a program that allows you to see your logcat (google them) and clean the log of errors by removing problem apps or limiting their permissions. The result is you end up with a much more stable OS and you can then overclock a lot more heavy handed. With the changes, I very rarely have any problems and run at 864mhz. Hope it helps :)

[General Questions and Answers] xphone1:
What are the main differences? What is the fastest? Which has a mile fps? Thanks in advance

Note: Translated with google. referring to optimus 1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SRT300:
Is there a kernel for unlocking the fps on our phone. I have looked and found it for other phones but not ours. Running Calkins with Rogue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I think it already runs 60 fps and higher if it needs to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
At first I was all like "holy ****, really? You really need more than 60fps?"...the evo4g running at 30fps was one thing--at it sucked. Bad.--but this phone already hauls silky smooth ass.

...but then I got to thinking...a solid 120fps, 80fps, hell, 72fps would make a noticeable improvement to the overall smoothness. Most people might never notice it, but I do....and I don't want to get into it with someone over what I can and can't perceive.

So, I'm curious too. Would it even be possible? Has it not been attempted yet only because it's already "smooth enough"?

The only thing smoother I have ever seen was my NS4G running Netarchy's kernel...I forget how high it got (68fps? 70fps?) but it wasn't much higher, the stdev was reasonably low and I have never used a phone (iPhone included) that was as smooth as my NS4G OC'd to 1400 on Netarchy's kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SRT300:
I saw a OG epic with unlocker running at 68 hertz so fps was around 65. I know it seems like not that much, I just want to get the most out of my phone. Sorry if this sounds like I am whining.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
The highest I've personally seen it go was 63 running a quadrant test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lbcary:
Id be interested in a kernel that could run more than 60fps,but not too much more. I dont want to overstress the devices hardware,but i doubt 72fps would even stress the Epic 4G Touch. Im currently testing the Rogue kernels 1.4.1 and 1.5. Those kernels seem to achieve slightly higher quad scores,but do nothing to change the fps. Not that im complaining about 60fps. Im very impressed with the Epic 4G Touchs performance. Especially when i go back and use my old Evo. Thanks for listening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Danial723:
Ive seen mine jump to 71 quite a few times.....runs average at61

sent from the near past
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryandoubleu:
curiousity....

so just out of curiosity, why do we relate phone and computer platforms screen refresh rate performance to fps (frames per second)? fps is the same as Hz (hertz), which is cycles per second. I mean we use Hz for televisions, so wy not phone and computer plateforms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darthstewie:
Actually, FPS is only equated to Hz if the application in question waits for vertical sync, locking the FPS to the refresh rate of your screen. This is the reason many games now offer an option of whether to wait for screen refresh or not. If you don't wait, you can easily reach 200+ FPS in applications if you have the right rig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SRT300:
So I take it that no one knows of a kernel that unlocks the htz on our phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Seems not. I guess everyone thinks it's smooth enough...if I knew how (or what) to screw with to get some results I would.

Pointers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
They messed with it in the OG Epic Samurai kernel. They changed the hertz to get the fps to 72 and while it made the hallway part of quadrant move quicker and smoother it ended up creating lag or chop in certain apps. Most people were asking for it to get scaled back to stock settings. It is probably possible on the Epic Touch but it will take a kernel guru and most likely ALOT of fine tuning

Does anyone know where i can download Honeycomb for the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000? it doesn't matter if there is no phone or 3G on it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stilm:
No Honeycomb for SGT7 I'm afraid...

There was an unnoficial port being worked on but development has been stopped since ICS came out.

There's an ICS (CM9) build on the development forums, that isn't recommended for people that are new to the whole flashing scene since it is still in development and has a few bugs (camera doesn't work for example). This is your best bet for tablet UI on SGT7. There's also icedBoca by Dizgustipated which is his own version of CM9, also has bugs and still in development. Do NOT flash these ROMS if you don't know what you're doing and if you will be annoyed by a few bugs.

CM9 by Te4m

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John_in_Dallas:
Hello. I'm a 55 year-old newbie to the wonderful world of Android, courtesy of my kid's continuously-rebooting Dell Streak 5 (AT&T, USA). It all started with the Froyo 2.2 OTA update in late 2011. The Streak would not boot after that update completed (WiFi - FIOS). We called Dell, and they advised that we Factory Reset it. That worked, and we thought all was well. Now several months later and 2000 factory resets later, my kid requested an iPhone for Christmas, and I re-claimed the Streak. I called Dell last week, and of course they wasted several hours of my time, ultimately telling me that my phone was out of warranty, but that for $249 I could buy a new phone. I advised several reps and a supervisor that Dell's OTA 2.2 update caused the problem, and that I should not be charged for any resolution to that problem. End of that story - here I am, after spending all of Saturday and most of Sunday attempting to downgrade back to 1.6. Here's what I have done:

I used SuperOneClick and successfully rooted the phone

I have used many recovery mods, ALL of which seem to lead to a black screen after selecting option 2. However, the Clockworkmod "alternate" recovery method did work. I downloaded a 4399 stock recovery zipped file, copied it to the Streak's SD card, then renamed the entire zipped file to "Update.zip". Then I used FastBoot, and flashed the Clockworkmod alternate recovery "recovery.alt.img" to the Streak. I used fastboot to reboot the Streak, then held the two Volume buttons, selected Option 2, and made my way through the awkward menu - but ultimately I was able to install "Update.zip" successfully. Upon the reboot, I am stuck with the Dell logo. I have tried factory resetting at this point, starting again from "scratch", only to return to the same old story: stuck at Dell logo. I read somewhere that it could take 10 minutes for the Streak to boot, but I have waited for 30 minutes plus.

An hour ago I was too frustrated to continue trying to downgrade to 1.6, so I read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334487. I used the clockwork 3.0.1.9 recovery method, and attempted to upgrade to 2.3.?. This was not an "alternate" method (which had not worked in two days), but after flashing the recovery.img to the Streak, and using the 2.3.? "Update.pkg" on the SD card, the Streak did begin to verify the package - then it started the update, then - REBOOT. The first time this happened, I waited for 30 minutes, thinking that the upgrade was happening in the background while displaying the Dell logo, as Windows updates sometimes do. But then I yanked the battery, and started that process again. The next time and every subsequent attempt to perform this upgrade results in a reboot as the "verifying package" is occurring.

At this point I feel as though I am spinning my wheels, so I'm putting out an All Points Bulletin for some advice and/or help.

Thanks in advance! John in Dallas
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Doppio:
John, have you tried with another update.pkg? The thread you link to is from sreak 7, could that be the issue? If I was you I would try one of the 407 deodexed ROMS from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1376896
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John_in_Dallas:
I did not realize that thread was for the Streak 7. Thanks for pointing that out. I have tried several others, but nothing like what you have provided.

Being new to this technology, I have not yet quite grasped all the terminology and theory. Can I mix and match the recovery images with the Update packages? For example, where "TheManii" states that StreakMod must be pre-installed, then he provides a (407) base_v1.zip , is it OK for me to use the Clockworkmod recovery.alt.img (which has seemingly worked well on my Streak) with his base_v1.zip? Or MUST I use the StreakMod recovery image in conjunction with his base_v1.zip?

I assume that I am supposed to follow the same procedure as before:

- Save the base_v1.zip to the Streak's SD card - renamed to "Update.zip"

- use "fastboot mode" to transfer the recovery.img from PC to the Streak

- boot the Streak into recovery mode, select option 2

- then select the recovery option to load from the "Update.zip" on the SD

How long should it take to install the base and the update?

I understand that the "base" is just that, and I will also need to flash the "update", but the other "bloat" stuff is optional.

I will give this a try shortly - then re-post. Thank you!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Doppio:
I am not the expert here, but from what I've gathered you need the correct recovery image only when you are flashing an official update, since those updates come as encrypted ".pkg" files. I think (please check also the threads on flashing modified ROMs) that ROMs that end on ".zip" are not encrypted and don't need a special recovery file. I hope someone with actual experience on this can confirm if I am correct.

Edit: I just notice that the thread I linked to specifies that installing the matching "pkg" is a prerequisite to installing the "zip" -- this is admittedly more complex than I thought it would be. You are probably better off just installing one of the stock ROMs first just to recover your Streak -- I had recently updated to the 407 (Korean) Gingerbread ROM and like it very much; there are instructions of puttiing it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416718
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
John,

To flash a stock ROM you need a stock recovery.

To flash a custom ROM you need StreakMod Recovery.

Even if the files are not altered any ROM packaged as a zip is a "custom" rom.

To get you started (and get your Streak working) you should flash a stock ROM. I recommend BB 351 as the most stable stock ROM.

Put the pkg file for 351 on the root of your SD card named update.pkg

Use fastboot to flash the 351 recovery,

Use fastboot reboot to reboot the Streak and as it reboots hold both volume buttons to get to recovery

Select option 2 to install 351.

If you decide to use a different stock ROM the instructions are the same, just use the correct files.

If you really want Gingerbread then flash the latest stock GB ROM and then install the DSC version of GB. See the DSC thread in the development section for info.
