Since HTC One X does not have external sd card and most of us got 25gb free drop box space, I thought this would be helpful for ppl who want to stream music from drop box.

Reason in writing in this topic: My HTC One X was my first android device and I did not knew that we could stream music from drop box, so I wanted to list all the apps which I came across in my search. I hope this helps noobs like me.

Note* - Mod's if you feel this topic is unnecessary plz delete it

1) AnTek Explorer + AnTek Drop box / Box.net client

Free App, Music player is good (with Equalizer)

Read this to known more about how to add your drop box or box account - http://anttek.com/playing-music-with-anttek-explorer/

2) Just Player

After you install Just Player you need to install Drop box music provider

Free and Good music player .

3) Dropsync

Full two-way sync. Just like Dropbox on desktop

Instant upload: new files (for example photos) are uploaded to Dropbox immediately, no need to wait for the next autosync cycle

You can buy the pro version to get more futures such as

Sync multiple folders

* Sync the whole Dropbox with a folder on your phone or tablet

* Upload files larger than 5 MB

* No ads, of course

Finally if someone did not get 25gb free drop box space they can get free 50gb box space - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18221721

It may not be from a "cloud" in your sense of the word, but you can definatly stream from home if you setup your network correctly.

Or you could just use the 20000 free song storage from Google just saying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AD8:
Audiogalaxy is the best thing I've found to stream my entire library from home. It's free. 6 or 7 of my friends are logged on too. If you have good quality source music, audiogalaxy will sound as great, better than anything else I've tried. It caches the next song so its ready as soon as you hit next. You can also login fom any computer by going to audiogalaxy.com and stream your library.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Yaa kleeman, defently wé can use google music which is Great. I just wrote to make use of dropbox space.

Thanks will try audiogalaxy

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalvarez0312:
While I have found streaming music from dropbox to be very convenient, a major downside for me is the fact that it consumes a lot of your allotted data. Especially if you have a bunch of 320 kbps songs like I do. Memory really is this phones only major drawback, however I just tend to keep my library updated and it hasn't bothered me too much. 16 GB is still a lot of music.

I prefer storing pictures and videos on cloud since I view them much less frequently than I listen to music, so when I do need to access the pictures or videos I use a lot less data. Just my 2 cents
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elomire:
But that's only if your music is .mp3 or .flac (and you're willing to just listen to mp3 on the go). If you have a whole bunch of music from iTunes, Google Music is a terrible idea since it transcodes .m4a to .mp3. Amazon is a good idea too right now, but it does cost $25/year but it will just match a whole bunch of music rather than doing uploads.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
Exactly. Just have to have an always on computer (like my cheap server I built with second hand parts that cost me <100$) and an always on internet connection.

Setup is even easy with subsonic because you get a yourname.subsonic.org address so you don't have to remember your own IP address.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Yeah, its definatly a neat little program. I'll play around with it later this week.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Spooky_7:
Does Amazon really match files? It sure took a really really long time to upload my library if it was matching.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jonholato:
Yes Amazon now matches files like iTunes, however they only announced the service very recently (ie yesterday or the day before).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Spooky_7:
Oh awesome, thanks for the clarification!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a good video player that can also list /stream videos from dropbox? For example, I use mx player and I can add folders to include. Now that storage is at a premium, im having to move most of my videos /movies up to dropbox. It's been real inconvenient trying to browse / play them now.

subsonic is incredible. If you aren't using it, you're missing out. I have nearly 8TB of lossless music I've collected over the years and I stream from all over the world. And myself and ~10 colleagues at the office stream all day. It's an easy setup and it just works....and the caching support on the android app is pure gravy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
You should go on on the forums and download the modified ICS/JB version that uses the holo theme and has better cache'ing support.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Already have it ;) really I do most of my streaming from web browser at my desk, but the unofficial version is nice. Too bad the ios version is leaps ahead of the android version, and its 3rd party....

Thanks! That looks like a great choice if you have an always-connected computer to use as a server.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
I know. My wife has the iSub app (or whichever is the more expensive, polished looking one) on her phone and I'm jealous sometimes. It was really bad when I was using the official android app with its Eclair looking graphics and lack of any real control over cache/album art/etc.

By the way, for streaming on the desktop, you should use MiniSub if you use Chrome. It's HTML5 and much cleaner implementation of a browser based player.

I've used Audiogalaxy with great success in the past but it seemed that Subsonic took quite a while to actually view available music on the server. Have they updated this yet? I'd say maybe a year and a half ago Audiogalaxy was clearly superior.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kilo89:
ES File Explorer works really well too. Just add your Dropbox account under the "Net" tab. Then you can push and hold a folder and select "Music" from the list.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Yeah true. It will only suck when they take the space back. In two years.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Subsonic is instantaneous for me. On a fairly slow server even.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AD8:
Audiogalaxy sounds like the same thing. Caching, losless, everything also works with audiogalaxy. I also have a bunch of friends on my account streaming my library. Have you ever tried it? I'll check subsonic out but its gonna be hard to beat audiogalaxy :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
I'm sure audiogalaxy is great. I remember when it was a Rhapsody storefront thing and I can't get that image out of my head.

The problem with AG for me is that they don't have a linux server and it doesn't stream video like subsonic does.

As to setting up the network, all I had to do was portforward 4040 in my firewall. easy peasy. Now, I am going to change it's port to something more random, vs known 4040 for this firewall opening :)

Hi, I'm using nAa+PrimeHD and I want to try Alfs+GingerZaraki but I'm confused with the instructions...

On GingerZaraki's thread it says don't install addons or updates from Alfs :S

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660560

but on Alfs it says I have to do it....

Also, I don't know if I have to get another ROM first, go back to stock kernel or install the ROM and then flash the kernel...

thanks

pd: I'd like to know what to do the other way round too, I mean, from Alfs+GZaraki to nAa+PrimeHD
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScatteredHell:
I think u should follow ginger zaraki instructions...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejjo:
first you should install alfs kernel with flastool...then go to flashing ginger zaraki rom,without addon for alfs...may be there is addon too in the ginger zaraki rom !
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebasura:
OH LOL, I didn't notice that PrimeHD runs with Alfs too...

But still, Alfs kernel instructions say:

Install instruction

- Download the update-rom*-AlfsKern*.zip or kernel AddOn provided with rom and place it on sd-card

- Download and unpack the rar and put it in flashtool/firmwares folder

- Turn off the phone

- Run flashtool

- Press Flash, choose downloaded file

- Plug in the usb while pressing back button

- Wait till progress finishes

- Unplug the phone, turn it on back

- Hope for the best

- Go to CWM recovery with back button and install the update-rom*-AlfsKern*.zip or Kernel AddOn provided with rom Remember if you update the rom, then reinstall this.

- In v08 you need to install new adreno libs found in post #2

- Wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery

So, if I'm going to install GingerZaraki, I shouldn't do the step 1?

thats where I get confused...

"- Download the update-rom*-AlfsKern*.zip or kernel AddOn provided with rom and place it on sd-card

- Go to CWM recovery with back button and install the update-rom*-AlfsKern*.zip or Kernel AddOn provided with rom Remember if you update the rom, then reinstall this."

Also in notes it says:

-You need to install the included update-rom*-AlfsKern*.zip to mount sdcard to pc, fix the chargemon script and screen brightness(v09+).

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejjo:
may be you should go to page alfs page !! But just for share,I ever used alfs 8a ( not alfs 8a for Gdx ) I always install update zip /addon after flashing rom with cwm
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athulele:
Read the GingerZaraki post completely.It says no alfs kernel update required, its already included.

Hope i helped
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Just install Alfs v08a normally and then flash GingerZaraki V07. The addons are included in the ROM so you don't have to flash anything else.

Good luck.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebasura:
By "just install Alfs normally" u mean this?

- Download and unpack the rar and put it in flashtool/firmwares folder

- Turn off the phone

- Run flashtool

- Press Flash, choose downloaded file

- Plug in the usb while pressing back button

- Wait till progress finishes

- Unplug the phone, turn it on back

- In v08 you need to install new adreno libs found in post #2

- Wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery

So, I was originally on CWM recovery non-touch 5.5.0.4 and wanted to to update to CWM recovery TOUCH 5.8.4.5 so that I could install CM10 without any hassels. I downloaded the .tar in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766552 and flashed it in ODIN right over my existing CWM. (I opened ODIN, loaded the .tar into PDA, made sure PDA was checked, put phone into download mode and plugged it in, made sure ODIN recognized it by showing me a COM#, hit start, waited until I saw "PASS" and then unplugged). Thinking everything went smoothly, I rebooted into recovery only to find that I was still on my old non-touch 5.5.0.4. What gives? Did I mess up somewhere? Am I safe to go ahead and push the recovery image in ADB? :) Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
Use the set of instructions below instead. It's easier and it doesn't increase your flash counter. I try not to use Odin if I don't have to.

to install:

1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.

2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.

3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).

4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.

5. su

6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

7. reboot recovery

I hope this helps!

So you think I should be safe to go ahead and do it this way?

I exchanged my blue GS3 for the red one yesterday at the local AT&T store. I came home and tried charging it with a generic mini usb cable and Phillips branded plug, The new red phone will not charge, but the blue one I had would charge just fine with the generic cable and charger. I thought it might be the cable so I put the generic cable with the samsung plug and it still didn't charge. Has anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to get the generic cable to work with the charger?

Only 1 hour?? Most people here get 3 to 4 hours screen on time, some I've seen even 5. You should go ahead and root it and install a custom kernel so you can adjust the color settings to fix that purple tint issue ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jervine:
You should be able to get longer than that with the screen on. Are you switching everything on at the same time? ;) e.g. GPS, wireless, LTE (perhaps?), or perhaps having emails sync every minute... Even if it's heavy gaming you're doing you should get longer than that.

Lol no guys. If anything I would probably get 90 minutes maximum screen on time on my HTC amaze. the battery life on that phone was the worst I've seen in my life. Auto sync off, brightness at 10% , mobile data off, and just some texting.

Also I was thinking of flashing a either kernel, but the phone is perfect the way it is lol. What are other benefits from custom kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
You can change the color profile with a custom kernel to get rid of the purple tint. You can also undervolt and underclock for better battery life. You can overclock too, but the CPU is more than enough @stock for most tasks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
First thing I'd check out is Jubakuba's sticky in the Q&A forum, all about unlocking boot loader, rooting, flashing ROMs, etc. Big timesaver is just flash bigxie's 4.1.1 ROM which is rooted, with busybox, gapps, and deodexed. Trinity kernel will let you adjust color, boost volume, and overclock (or underclock to save battery). People also like Franco's kernel. Another good flashable mod is Thyrus's Nav bar w/menu button, which also gives you expanded power-off menu with reboot and recovery options. (Does require deodexed ROM so won't work on stock). And you might want to try a replacement launcher like Nova or Apex.

Or you might just want to enjoy the stock Jellybean experience for a while before modding. Have fun.
