[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
I still think we can fix this some way or another. I am not a developer but I am willing to learn to develop a service or app or maybe even just port the way the zune hd handles audio. Or someone else can do it who has the experience. I am thinking we could probably hack and tweak our audio chips just like we can overclock our cpus, couldn't we overclock it the same way? Moreover, I found out that the 2009 Ipod touch used a similar chip as the zune hd's. Yet, audio sounded different because maybe there is a software aspect that helps also. Also, the zune had a tegra processor plus a dedicated audio core, although I do not know if this is the same as Wolfson's.

Wikipedia has some specs if this can help:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zunehd

Here is the audio chip the zune used according to Engadget:

http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/microsofts-zune-hd-already-cracked-open-and-photographed/2

http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/power_management/WM8352/

and this website has more information if anybody is interested:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/Audio-DAC-chips-does-anyone-care-anymore

Couldn't we also replace our audio chips with this one:

http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/cs4970xx_family.html

Does anybody know if the decoder, or whatever makes music sound good on the Zune HD, can be ported to our phones? Or be used to create a service like Beats or dsp manager to run in the background?
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
Yes and no. From what I understand, the quality starts at the sound file. If the sound or song is bad it will sound bad on cheap headphones and maybe even in expensive headphones, too. The next step would be probably the chosen media player, which will send the audio signals it gets from reading the sound file to the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) to be "decoded" and played out through the jack by the headphones.

I do not know if this is 100 percent correct, but this is the way it seems. Correct me if I am wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
I already tried it, but it sounds more like google's stock music app, at least to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
greeeeetttt
[HTC EVO 3D] Alexsandra:
I have posted the same thread to seek a way to enhance the audio quality. Some guys gave me some advice that flash the chad`s kernel. Yes, the man who has been banned from XDA. I dont know the exactly the reason why his kernel will improve the audio quality but some guys who flashed his kernel did approved it worked. I still not tried it because I dont know the way to root & s-off my EVO 3D. You can find his kernel through infected rom .com(please google) If you try it, please post your experience. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] LVTHN:
I see, I'm sorry then.

I'll go and give the Zune HD a listen asap!

Anywaay, Zplayer is a good app ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] vlatinlove:
Zune HD is the best media player I have had, and still rattling my civic trunk.
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
My bad. I must had forgotten to reply back. The sound quality was good on his kernel, but it is still not like the Zune HD's.

Read all the top 5-6 posts from the OP for instructions and understand them carefully before installing.

There are many services and equalizers that offer very different audio qualities....Never listened to a zune but there are many settings and presets that might help.

[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Don't understand why people would pirate the game, it's only £2 for **** sake. Pay the £2 and support the development of these games and maybe we might get gta SA or vice city. Keep downloading for free they won't end up bothering its not like it's costing you much is it cheap ****s.

Rant*
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
GTA SA would be huge!!! Be good though :D

It's awesome, I've only had one instance of the framerate dipping so far and it was really early on so I think it was just the cores settling in, running in your 'Gaming Mode' it'll fly!
[HTC One X] Castellano2:
Can be three dot menu disable? It pissed mě off
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:

[HTC One X] sn707:
I bought it and let it download before I went to sleep last night. In the am it was all done but when I got to the main screen anything I selected it went to Rockstar Social. I could not play the tutorial or the game. So anyway, I uninstalled and its re-downlaoding now so we will see. Anyone else have any issues?

EDIT:

Fixed with a re-install working great now. Hope they update to get rid of the 3 dot menu though.
[HTC One X] hello00:
does it have multiplayer?
[HTC One X] xn1:
Has anyone decompiled the apk, set targetSdk to 14, recompiled and signed (to remove the 3DM for a none rooted user) only to also find it crashing upon going to New game. I have and its bugging me why it won't work. It's worked on every other game so far
[HTC One X] MaBlo:
It runs really great on max settings. Controls are a bit difficult, had to turn on hard lock auto aim. It's a bit buggy though, sometimes it keeps the lock even after the enemy runs behind walls. I really need a BT controller lol.
[HTC One X] Vallhall:
Kan du bruke kontroll med X?

[HTC One X] raxiel:
i will try it for sure i love max payne and a game on phone is amazing
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
The game runs silky smooth, just a shame about the 3-button interference, HTC really need to stop this showing on full-screen apps.
[HTC One X] MaBlo:
Let's keep it in English:)

Yes you can use a BT controller. There are videos on YouTube. Even the sixaaxis, but I think you need root for that. Also I have a A6 Avant tdi.

I went through to Rockstar Social, I just pressed the back softkey and then I could choose all the menus etc...
[HTC One X] mrt159:
One of my most favorite games of all time on Android, yay!

Runs great, but eats through battery like crazy and heats up the phone like no other game I've tried yet.

Controls are a bit awkward, but manageable and auto aim helps a lot.
[HTC One X] Castellano2:
Really drain battery a lot and temperatures are higher than I have in other games. Auto aim is like cheat, it is terribly easy then

But I think controls are great
[HTC One X] ucel:
Just wanted to write the same. Practically after 20 minutes I have to give up and let my One X rest - it's just too hot to play. System Tuner shows CPU at about 80°C. I wonder if there is possible to play over 60 minutes on single charge :(

The controls are really great, and you can turn the auto-aiming off in Options :).

The good thing is three-dot - it's bound to quick save :)
[HTC One X] stezo2k:
Works smooth as butter :D so glad i'm using a custom rom to remove the 3 dot thing

Also works amazingly with a PS3 controller on HDMI
[HTC One X] Khy50:
works great and looks great, but i cant get used to the controls! :eek:
[HTC One X] rasterX:
Just finished Max Payne 3, and this shows up on Play :D It really does run silky smooth on the One X. If you have a controller, definitely try it, though I'd reduce the Aim Assist, kinda makes it too easy. Here's the key mappings I came up with, used with a BT PhoneJoy controller and Bluez IME:

Controller Key Map Action

Dpad Left LEFT_BRACKET Previous Weapon
Dpad Right RIGHT_BRACKET Next Weapon
Dpad Up DPAD_UP Menu Up
Dpad Down DPAD_DOWN Menu Down

Button 1 ENTER Use/Sniper Zoom/Menu Select
Button 2 R Reload
Button 4 C Crouch
Button 3 SPACE Jump

Button L1 BUTTON_L1 Bullet Time
Button R1 BUTTON_R1 Fire
Button L2 TAB Painkiller
Button R2 R Reload

Start Button MENU Save
Select Button BACK Pause (Menu)

Left analog - Up DPAD_UP Move Forward
Left analog - Down DPAD_DOWN Move Backward
Left analog - Left DPAD_LEFT Move Left
Left analog - Right DPAD_RIGHT Move Right

Right analog - Up I Look Up
Right analog - Down K Look Down
Right analog - Left J Look Left
Right analog - Right L Look Right

BTW, the three-dot menu acts as a quick save, so it's actually useful in this game.

If you're playing on a TV via MHL, I recommend using a small fan blowing on the back. I'm using this one, and it keeps the phone around 40 C even after several hours of play:

http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK

After seeing the phone heat up to 60 C in ShadowGun, I thought a fan would be a good idea.
[HTC One X] Sckank:
Any way to lock the framerate maybe? That way we may be able to keep the OneX cooler and use less battery ....
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
I noticed with tegrastats that the game is using all 4 cores at all times between 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2ghz.

Explains the battery drain/heat and the smooth framerates :)

Wish more games would use all cores like this
[HTC One X] ZaPP187:
With the soon incoming OTA with Android 4.04 from HTC the problems with the 3 dot menu will be gone :) There will be the possibility to remap the multitask button and if you do so, all apps will run in fullscreen mode.

See my attachments :)

[HTC One X] Dellocatus:
That's good news! I wonder why they didn't solve this issue from beginning that way.
[HTC One X] derwinaero:
The reason why some people pirate android apps, is because Google only made it possible to buy apps if you have a credit card, In some countries it's not that common to have a credit card.

For instance: Of all the people I know, only about 20% has a one. So our only option until Google brings out some kind of direct-link to bank accounts/paypal support, is to download them illegally.

So think again before calling someone cheap for not being able to pay for android apps.

Wow, it is really cool, we will have hardware Menu button :)btw, where did you get info about OTA from HTC?

Hey everyone! I've been reading these forums for the past two days, which have been awesome, except that I still can't get past this roadblock to root though -- namely, the problem in the tile: Odin v1.85 keeps on crashing when I hit "start" to install CWM. I hoping that someone can help!

My successes:

I've installed 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 using the one-click files without any problem.

I haven't had any problems with Odin recognizing my phone (i727).

My attempts:

Odin 1.85 crashes upon hitting start (CWM.tar is in the PDA slot, only auto-reboot selected).

I've also tried Odin 1.83

Switched USB cables

Switched USB ports

Tried two laptops, one computer

Re-downloaded the files several times

Is there anything I'm missing?

My current guess is a problem with the OS. All of the computers are running the Chinese version of Windows (have both XP and 7). I plan to find/install an English version today if the problem isn't resolved, but I'm hoping that there's another factor that I overlooked.

Thanks a bunch!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
There seems to be some anxiety about whether a successful ota update can be accomplished by those who modded their build prop file previously.

Just fyi for those who did the build.prop mod and have their original build.prop backed up but were waiting to attempt update, I will confirm that if you delete the modded build.prop and then rename your backed up build.prop.bak back to build.prop before you reboot then you will be able to take the ota update.

Steps I took:

Way back when I had originally renamed my build.prop to build.prop.bak leaving it in the system folder. I had then copied the modified build.prop file into the system folder and fixed the permissions.

Now, to reverse I did this (not sure if need to do all, but these were my steps:

1. opened root explorer

2. navigated to system folder

3. mount r/w

4. delete build.prop (this was the modded one)

5. renamed build.prop.bak to build.prop

6. confirmed permissions remained as they should

7. confirmed, in file properties, that ownership and group remained as "root"

8. mount r/o

9. exit root explorer

10. reboot

11. reboot again

12. opened voodoo ota rootkeeper

13. delete su backup

14. protect root

15. temp un-root

16 close voodoo ota rootkeeper

17. reboot

18 allow ota .28 update

19. when update finished reboot

20 open voodoo ota rootkeeper

21 restore root

So I suppose if you instead had a build.prop that you knew was the original you could substitute that one for the bak one.

Good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
Yea best to do like you did and leave original in there for these occasions. 10 through 17 kind of overkill though. Reboot would be needed if you were wanting to apply the build.prop but in this case, simply putting the correct file there satisfies the system integrity requirements. No need to unroot. Just verify su backup with voodoo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
It is still fail if you did modify something else in /system partition. Like me i have removed a few sys apps and failed to upgrade. I had to do it manually.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flak0:
PLEASE SOMEONE POST A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL US VERSION BUILD.PROP from the .21 firmware
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
Yep. If you want to take OTA's then you shouldn't remove system apps. If you absolutely can't live with the few manufacturer bloat apps, then you can always freeze them instead of remove them. then you can unfreeze them for an OTA.

I would post it up for you but I already updated. You can always pull it out of an official update.zip I would think.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheGame316:
Is it just me or is there a lot of impatient people within this community. It seems nearly every Rom thread has people demanding that things happen now. These developers have a life too, and use part of their time to create roms for the benefit of all......for FREE. It is not a job for them although some of them could look at employment in the industry and manufacturers should look at some of these developers to help create OS for their models.

If the impatient people cannot wait for updates, fixes etc either fix it yourself or go back to stock so you can bother the people that actually get paid to create roms(in this case, Sony).

BTW, I am still on GinTonic. It does what I want it to do.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Definitely. As a dev being asked for ETAs isnt too bad but some idiot practically demanded an update. Not only had I just had a week on exams but I had just moved to a completely different source tree and was working very hard to get a working build. ETAs im polite to but if you demand an update I will take out all the stress I have built up on you. Be warned people.
