Hello friends,

I am a Mac user with no access to a real windows machine (except for boot camp)

I came across the following article which may be useful to Mac users with HTC android phones.

Since I can't post external links, open a browser and using google search for "Noob guide for Rooting and Flashing using a Mac"

The guide was not useful to me since I have a Samsung phone.

Let me know if this article helps you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SPtheALIEN:
I am trying to get my device to work with my Ford Sync--which I like (so no haters, please).

When I connected my previous phone (iPhone 4) I could use it through USB. I use a music streaming service (Rdio) and it would be able to transfer the song's data (Track name, album photo) to the car stereo.

When I changed my phone to the Note and connect via USB, it says that the device is an unknown USB device and to disconnect it. However, it charges.

I know I can stream via bluetooth A2DP, but that's not what I want to do (plus the bluetooth stack doesn't sound anywhere as good as the iPhone's for some reason). Not to mention that I can't see song data on the screen.

I have tried connecting the device and setting it as USB mass storage (which is a b!tch, by the way, on a car radio) and all it does it see the device as a hard drive (again, not what I want it to do).

Does anyone know of a way to get the audio stream and control over the USB port?

Much appreciated to all efforts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
I do the same but stream my audio via BT. Will check again in my ford sync tonight to verify
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
The sync system does require updates from time to time. Its possible you may need one. I got tired of plugging in my phone all the time so I eventually decided to use one of my old phones as basically an mp3 player. It stays in my console connected to USB all the time. I only take it out to add or delete music, update Pandora, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SPtheALIEN:
Ah. Thanks for the responses. What I've been doing is exactly that--leaving my old iPhone as the music device. However, I miss being able to stream albums that don't reside local to the old phone. I'm thinking of rooting my Note just to allow my iPhone to pick up other albums.

Also, I forgot to mention that I have the My Ford Touch system (2011 Explorer) with the Sync interface if that bit of info helps.

Its in Korean but fully playable. There's only a few menus/buttons I haven't figured out (mainly in settings, don't wanna break something that works)

I downloaded it from Google, not sure how I came across it but been playing it all day. Can I make a screen cast without being hooked to a PC? (My PC is down)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Press and hold the home button, then press the power button

This will take a screen capture and place it on your sdcard's Screen Capture directory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I mean the high fps videos you see on YouTube right from the phones screen

Hey everyone. I'm a litte new to these forums but not to phones/hacking/etc.

i would suggest visiting this thread:

i followed all the steps to the letter that the creator of that script recommended, and it worked beautifully. keeps my sk4g running very smoothly, and i too am using GOv2. so i would highly recommend it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
YO!!!!!! I just ran V6 and holy sh*t! I have NEVER seen a phone this fast! web pages load so fast its retarded! and im on gsm only, not even using 4g! if anyone hasnt run v6 yet, what the f#%k are you waiting for?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dogojosho:
Alright I downloaded it, which option would I use would you say? (1-9)?

and Im running into some problems... I tried optiond 7,8 and 9 but none seem to be staying.. any ideas?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
in order to make it permanent, you need a root file browser that lets you mount /system as read write and also lets you make new folders. browse to /system/etc, mount system as read/write, create a folder, name it init.d and supercharge will now be permanent. also, i run options 7 and 13.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dogojosho:
Thanks I got it!

Actually init.d was already there, but what I had to do was use script manager and set "99SuperCharge" to run on boot and that seemed to fix it.

And okay running 7 and 13 and now waiting for reboot...

I'll edit this post and tell you what I think!(:

Edit:

Alright I seems to be running better!

Yes thank you for that recommendation(:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
if you had init.d, you shouldnt need to run anything at boot. also, which version are you running? im running supercharger update 9. update 9 has 30 options, whereas update 8 has i think only ten. with update 9, if you have init.d, supercharge should be permanent. im not even on a custom rom. im on stock firmware. i created the init.d folder myself, and i dont have to set anything to run at boot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dogojosho:
Interesting, okay I checked and yes I am running update 8. I'll update it tomorrow and see how it goes. Since that'll be tomorrow I will post a new reply.

But yea since I'm running update 8 that explans why I had to set it to run at boot. Thanks for you help!(:

If you have nothing constructive to post then do not post at all!

If you want to say thanks then hit the the thanks button, do not post it!

Finally, give the developer some respect by keeping his thread clean of spam posts, only post about rom related issues.

If you do not know how to behave in a development forum then you will learn by me dishing out infractions/bans!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

No... The FLAC is audio.....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hetunandu:
So what does FLAC do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] harishrohaj:
Exactly! FLAC means free loss less audio codec. So, this zip enables us to play flac files which we do not generally use.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] chitoka:
So it means that flac file will allow to play other type of music files?

And have you guys notice that music player strugles with songs that are over 128kbs? Does it happens to everyone or its just me?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] drfr:
Flac will allow you to play flac files. It´s a lossless compression format for audio. Google is your friend.

Tips

Well i've some tips for you i hope it helps

1- for battery drain, i used to have battery drain so it doesn't last for even one day so i changed the CPU governor to ONDEMAND and set on boot option "Active" and now my battery lost 15% for the past 12 hours

2- for alfs kernel v8 and WiFi, after installing the kernel without any wipe and restart i got WiFi working fine but next day it was connecting to the network but No internet, so i've wiped the Cash and restarted and now it's working fine.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mattrick:
I'd also love to see "back button to end call" option - it's a great thing. Maybe someone will port it. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] xcal_tau:
you can use power button to end call, option in accessbility.

i think it's a better way to end the call. back button, sometimes we push it accidentally, end the call.

actually, if you change the kernel before installing the rom, it should be no problem exist.

but, yeah, you can give a try. reflashing the kernel, maybe could fix it.

don't worry, reflashing the kernel would not break the rom.

its the same as u : nAa11 + 748 (was)

after restrating,,change it to 686

sometimes i flash couples of apps or tweaks..

but when its fail,,i full wipe it..

as long as i remember,,theres no tweaks that works since i use cm9 v2..

so,,its only gapps that i flashed.. nothing more..

the gallery,,maps n music often show a black screen..

just that..

maybe..

but i have try my blac****ry wire..

the powerbank wire too..

nor of that show the difference..

always restart and restart..

P.S.

now i have dead area (sometimes) in right of touchscreen..

once more,,its now "auto touch" when i even touch nothing in the screen.. its annoying when u type or select menu..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ankitxperia:

then,,decrease it 1 times..

itll be louder than max volume..

I've been using this rom for a while, and except the bugs that is already known, it is very smooth, i have less lag than other gingerbread roms. I'm already using this rom in my daily life.

I listen music all the time with my headphones, so a feature that I miss very much is the long press the volume keys to change the track. So that's my suggestion, if there is no way to install it muanually (I searched and didnt found anything related with that, if someone know a way to do that please tell me :D ).

Thanks, and keep the good work paul-xxx.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jimcantfixit:
There is an option to shake the phone and skip track other than that you would need to modify the app I think
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HaxorBR:
Thanks for the answer. Well, my knowledge is to low to edit a app, so i'll wait to see if someone else that miss this feature, and know how to do that, make this mod.

I use my phone in my pocket, with this feature I can change the track over my pants, so shake the phone in my pocket is a little strange (lol) and I prefer to change it manually.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goeland86:
+1 on this. For me it's annoying because the "shake for next track" is detected every time I step!

If it's not fixed by the time I'm done with my thesis I'll work on it myself, but if someone has the know-how already, I'd appreciate it!
