[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
I am looking for an app which, similar to Splashtop on the Google Play Store, will allow to me run my PC's (or in my case laptop's) desktop remotely from my Samsung Galaxy Note. I have tried a few so far and, based on what I have experienced with them, here is roughly what I am looking for in such an app...

Firstly, it is a great preference of mine (although not a necessity) that the application is free. Should this not be an option, just make sure your recommendations are not ridiculously priced.

I want an application which scales down my desktop, so that it fits in its entirety onto my device without a constant need to zoom in or out. Splashtop, as far as I am aware, does this but I ideally want a free app as I said.

Finally, I'd like for it to be capable of transmitting sound, so that I could play videos off of my computer's hard-drive or just check something in my iTunes collection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
Nobody has any ideas as to an application capable of this, or should I just buy Splashtop as it does apparently work rather well - no?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Mustang915:
Buy it to support the developer then ask for the feature you want. If not just Google blackmart and get it there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
I don't condone piracy. No, I am willing to pay for Splashtop, but I have heard mixed things about it. Does anyone know of any better alternatives - especially if they are free?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cotchan:
I am using PocketCloud Remote RDP / VNC (free app) quite ok for me to remotely checking things on my home desktop. But I have no idea if sounds work for your need, please try it if you like. If you found this is helpful, then you can pay for the "PocketCloud Remote Desktop Pro " version which can be downloaded from www.coolapk.com which is a chinese site anyway.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
Does not scale the desktop to fit on my screen though?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cotchan:
I am using landscape mode on my GN usually when accessing my desktop, when it opens, home screen is 1024x768 automatically shrink to fit on my GN. But I usually shrink and enlarge in order to visit those parts of the screen I want.

By the way, I am using VNC client at home so it might have some limitation on controls. Have not tried RDP or Google Auto search. Let you to explore and let me know. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jermitano:
try team viewer for remote or unified remote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
I tried Team Viewer, but it did not shrink the resolution of my PC to fit onto my Note's screen and the colours were all messed up!

The wallpapers are presented in an easy to browse format and can easily be downloaded from your phone. Selection is very limited at the moment. It has just been a couple of days since I started this up. Any recommendations for the website (or Live Wallpaper suggestions) are more than welcome.

We have tons of categories and tags to choose from. Basically something for everyone. And the rating and popularity filters are icing on top of the cake!

Feedback on what kind of live wallpapers you like (and how you find our website) will be much appreciated.

Don't forget to vote for your favorite free live wallpapers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezapatel:
Over 100 views and no reply? Cmon guys! I will be accepting negative criticism only today. It is only positive criticism from tomorrow onward! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
Downloaded like 10 live wallpapers. Great website also. The only thing I hate is the icons for the wallpapers are in the drawer but I have nova prime so I can hide them!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezapatel:
I'm glad you it worked out for you and thanks for the positive feedback, it was much appreciated! I completely agree with you on the Live wallpaper icons appearing in the menu. They can be annoying... but again I am glad glad Nova Launcher Prime is doing the job for you :)

Do hit me up if you have any suggestions for the website, or to make the experience better for visitors. This goes for everyone!

Great stuff guys, I am just loving the feedback! Keep em coming, don't let it dry out! Any suggestions? Bring it!

On a few of your suggestions I have added your choice of Free Live Wallpapers to the database. Still looking for more suggestions from other users. Please suggest the Best Free Live Wallpapers you have used on your device, so we can add it up to our Live wallpapers database!

Any Live wallpapers you guys see that are full of Ads/Spam, please comment on that individual Live wallpaper on the website so it can be taken down or a Big Notice be put up on the LWP page mentionining Spammy Apps. You will get lots of well-wishes from other users, who will know not to download that Live wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezapatel:
Sorry for the trouble of spam from installing this wallpaper. It's an issue with some developers but we personally do not endorse such Live wallpapers. Thanks for identifying the the wallpaper with the spam issue, we will update the wallpaper post with the same information so people are aware of the spam issue before installing the wallpaper.

We would also appreciate if the community could get involved in identifying similar wallpapers in benefit of the entire Android-user community. We may even be opening up positions for Contributors and Moderators to assist us in making the TopAndroidWallpapers.com a better resource for users looking for Live wallpapers.

Feel free to contact us through PM, if you've got ideas or are just looking to help out.

This feature is in the works already and should be available in the next couple of days. We will be updating you all as soon as it's available.

Thank you everyone for your contributions and we really appreciate all those who shared issues with some of the wallpapers and others who have identified some nice Live wallpapers.

Wow, that one is great! Simple yet elegant. Another example of a Live wallpaper that deserves more exposure...

Edit: Added 'Day of Ubuntu' wallpaper to the website and lots more! Try this one out, it's got tons of features: http://topandroidwallpapers.com/tdc-2-0-520/

Added:

'Sort by:' Rating (Top-Rated wallpapers) and Popularity (Most viewed wallpapers) as per popular request.

You can run this filter on the Homepage to work it on all Live wallpapers, whereas you can use it in individual categories to browse top-rated wallpapers in that particular category.

Need to rework titles, because it can be confusing if filter is applied or not. You can take a look at the URL for confirmation.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdarren:
This is something that android needs. USB DAC support.

I've been doing research and have compiled my own kernel for testing. There is something called the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture which has USB sound card support. However, when enabling this on a kernel I compiled, it seems Android totally ignores it. Once more, when I try to activate the module using the command modprobe snd-usb-audio it just completely fails.

When I plug my device in, I can see that the system is recognizing the device in proc/asound and sys/bus/USB/devices/2-1 and also dev/snd

The wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa#Making_sure_the_sound_modules_are_loaded also tells me that everything is OK in dev/snd

The only chance to get this working is to use asoundconf somehow. I have no idea how to do this.

In my opinion, Android totally needs USB sound card support standardized on all Stock kernels and ROMS so that its users can use USB sound card's (USB DAC'S) as they wish.

There are other sites which have mentioned USB DAC support on Android and they may be useful for further research:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/and...w-to-increase-the-issues-priority-with-google - Page 6 onwards seems interesting

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/29289-usb-audio-cards-support-drivers-and-libs/

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Sta rs - Please star this issue

I have to say, USB Audio support for Jelly Bean was a massive dissapointment since the DAC has to support the ADK. When I tried my standard DAC with Jelly bean, it did not work.

I just wish more custom kernels could support this and wish Google would support it too.

External USB DAC use from Android GT-i9250?

Hi There,

I am interested if you had any developments here with external USB DAC?

I have the Galaxy GT-i9250 and I would love to play music (44/16 or 96/24) files through an external USB DAC such that I bypass the phones internal DAC. Are there any advancements?

If so, how do I do it and what external DAC's do you recomend?

Thanks,

Asif.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdarren:
Unfortuantly, USB DAC functionality still seems to be severely limited despite support in Linux.

Many Developers focus on optimising a kernel for a specific ROM rather than adding features to the kernel to add functionality such as USB DAC's. I too would like support from developers to bring this forward as there are just a few devices out of hundreds of Android devices with some sort of USB DAC functionality as mentioned in previous posts. I also know that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has limited but native support for some USB DAC's.

I would recommend getting a popular USB DAC device because it would probably be a higher priority to developers to support. (because it would have more users).

From what I understand, USB DAC isn't a hard feature to implement. The problem lies in the fact that not enough people are asking for this functionality at the moment to develop it, beta test it and subsequently implement it.

Maybe, some time in the future (near future, I hope) we can enjoy this as a feature on our Android devices.

Hi !

Few updates

I have a few updates here.

It appears that my HTC One X running Android Revolution HD 13.0 (Jelly Bean) has the drivers and loaded modules for snd_usb_audio. And when I plug my USB DAC into it. It recognizes it and automatically directs sound to it. This is good.

I've dived into why it works on the HTC One X and not on my Xoom and come across a folder called /proc/asound

This folder is to do with the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) and when I plug my USB DAC into my One X, it creates a folder called 'Headset' (since my USB DAC is a headset).

I've found folders named "snd_usb_audio" (or similar) in the following folder locations:

/sys/bus/usb/drivers/snd-usb-audio

/sys/module/snd_usb_audio

I just don't know how to add this gory stuff into another android device. This is what Im trying to do.

Im going to compile a kernel in the next few days to see if I get anywhere.

I have SGS3 and i tried to connect my old M-Audio Duo USB sound card via USB. The phone plays music thru it, but Inputs of the sound card is not recognized, phone still records by build in mics.

What i really need is portable stereo mic attached by USB for my phone so i can make studio quality recordings with it. Something like tascam did for iPhone:

Same here, output works on my One X but not input. That's another key barrier to overcome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupatan:
If you'll figure out a way to make inputs work via usb that would be revolutionary development for android. I wounder why major companies didn't develop some device like that so far. There's demand for it obviously.

I badly want to see this feature figured out and added to CM10. I flashed drewgaren.com's JB TouchWiz rom last night just to get this feature, and I'm already sorely missing CM10.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupatan:
If anyone knows the ROM on which both Input and output (or at least input) from the soundcart works thru USB, please let me know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezzadk:
I see that both the Android compatible DACs (V-MODA VAMP VERZA, XDUOO XP-1) and the USB Audio Recorder PRO app supports nearly the same devices.

Other than that I hear that the requirements are:

USB Host (Basically almost every newer device can do this)

USB OTG Cable (Who worries about a cable?)

1. Is this because of simply the CONFIG_USB_AUDIO parameter set to false? Shouldn't a mod like CyanogenMod enable this?

2. Or because V-MODA VAMP VERZA, XDUOO XP-1 are the only USB DACs to support the ADK interface in Jelly Bean ?

3. What exactly is the difference between the Verza, XDUOO and the other DACs? Why wouldn't any DAC be compatible through USB Audio in the linux kernel ?

I really wish to lift my Samsung Galaxy S2 sound quality, and I am ready to spend the money to make it sound good. But the Verza is too expensive for me and has few other outputs and inputs so I doubt the reuse for the crazy price. I simply can't trust XDUOO before they make an english website, god knows what will happen on warranty issues!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danba:
Does your Vamp Verza work with your Galaxy S4 using USB Audio Recorder PRO?

There is a free trial version of USB Audio Recorder PRO?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudiorecorderpro

"From what I understand, USB Audio Recorder Pro app allows higher quality recordings to be played in their true hi-res quality because it bypasses a 16-bit/48kHz limitation in Android kernel. (The DX100 also does that with the iBasso software.) All other apps downsample to 16/48 before passing the signal to the external DAC like the Apex Glacier.

Besides that, I also find the app to output very natural sound. So I used the app quite a bit when I am in the mood for the best quality."

I cannot get my Motorola droid razr maxx 4.04 running ics to root regardless of what step I follow.

Currently running ICS 4.04

System Vermont 6.16.211 T912. Version. en. US

Build 6.7.2

I have followed instructions carefully, having debugging mode enabled, setting up as usb-mpt..... NOT MASS MEDIA, connection, allow for unknown sources etc., rrying over a dozen times with no success.

I do get the message Daemon not started, daemon started now on port 5037.

Regardless of what utility I have tried, I still get the same message, then program just waits for device.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks,

Like others suggested, install the phone drivers included in the Matt's Utility 1.81 folder and give it another try. If it still doesn't work, try putting your phone in Camera (PTP) mode instead of MTP.
