[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've gotten great feedback from XDA members on Wave Control, so I'd like to see what you all think of this one.

Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research

More Info Here

Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.

It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.

With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.

Play Store Links:

Free Version

Pro Version

Some known issues:

1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind

Some use cases:

- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention

- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs

- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start

- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you

Permissions Needed:

Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)

Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)

Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)

Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version

Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version

Billing: For in app upgrades

Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature

Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature

Limitations:

-Needs Froyo or Above (Android version 2.2+)

-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead

Coming Soon:

Timeout period Adjustment

Volume control of mic feed during timeout

Wow, very cool and unique app! Thank you! This will be very useful.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Glad you like it :)

Let me know if there are any new features you'd like to see.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SkillfulMmd:
This is a great idea but can you get the phones mic to work instead for people without mics on there headset?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
It will use whatever the available mic is. If there's only the one on the phone it'll use that one. If there's one of the headset then it'll use that one instead.

I have on todo list to put the option to force use of the phone's mic even if there's one on the headset.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SkillfulMmd:
Awesome in tat case ill download it now and have a go :)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sark666:
I noticed in the app description:

I assume my headset is the A2DP kind, it's a stereo bluetooth headset. I haven't had much luck with any application being able to use my bluetooth mic. I've tried other headsets but they were all stereo bluetooth. I'm using a nexus 7. Is this a planned upcoming feature? Is there a underlying reason why so few apps (any?) seem to support this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
I'm actually getting mixed feedback. Apparently it does work on some phone/headset combos. The way it behaves seems more like a bug in Android than an issue with headsets. I've heard Bluetooth is one area phone manufacturers sometimes tweak so maybe that's what's going on here. I need to get more data to really be sure.

I'd say give it a shot and see if it does work. Maybe Jelly Bean handle BT better.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sark666:
Ok thanks. Hmm, I just installed it but didn't realize it's a pro feature. Not that I wouldn't buy it, but I wanted to use it with a stereo bluetooth headset, and going by so far with my experience with bluetooth recording in general with jellybean (as in nothing working so far with 4 different headsets) so I suspect it probably wouldn't have worked.

I suspect as well it's an android issue.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
New Angle

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.

So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.

I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirenvasani:
I am very new to android as well as this forum...

Just bought Nexus 7 yesterday ( and yeah its my first android device).

Everyone geeks are telling me to root my device, some intelligent also says don't root it voids your warranty.

So i have few queries as novice user.

Should i root my device?

Is it safe? will my warranty void after root?

can i use add on device like pen drive, mouse via OTG without Rooting?

Can I unroot? if yes, then if I unroot, I get my warranty back?

What are other benifits of root?

Which is easiest meathod of root?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beta Max:
rooting sucks..don't try it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaay:
Use wugfreshs toolkit to root. Rooting is great. When you root your device you need to unlock the bootloader . When the boot loader is unlocked, the warranty is void. But its a nexus device so its easy to lock it back up so that your warranty is back so don't worry about that. Yes, you can unroot, its as easy as flashing a stock rom. There are many benefits of rooting, I for one love no ads in Any apps, including games. I use an app called wifikill which allows me to kick any WiFi device at my house offline so that I can use ,more bandwidth than my siblings;) also, rooting opens up Roms and kernels. I downloaded and flashed trinity kernel. I am getting crazy battery life. Up to 6-10 hrs of ONSCREEN time which is ridiculous . ROOT YOU DEVIIICE!!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahaa3000:
I couldn't agree more with what he said. Try wugfreshs toolkit, it's very simple and forward.

There's a good youtube tutorial of how to do it on youtube, just search up " How to Root the Google Nexus 7 qbking77"

Good luck ! :cowboy:

One issue no one has brought up--some apps block rooted devices.

On the one hand, I've rooted/jailbroken all my previous devices, but I'm getting my N7 partly to watch video via Hulu+ and Time Warner. Neither of those work on my One X. Is that the case with this one? Has anyone found any workarounds? The threads for the signed versions of those two apps seem to have died.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Not enough information. What did you try, with the cable, did you load stickmount. Did you try to use it to mount the drive. what type of "pendrive" etc..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easycompany:
You have the stickmount app installed? USB must be formatted as FAT32....as the easiest solution. I think linux filesystems also work like ext3 but then you can't use the usb on a Windows machine without additional software.

For a while my USB didn't work, then I plugged in a mouse and that worked. Plugged the usb in again and it somehow started working.....weird eh?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
silly question, always root. even if you dont need root today, tomorrow you might. and by that time you might have useful data that might get wiped when you do decide to root. anyways, its nice to have complete control over your device, if not for the performance side, then for the maintenance and customization side.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcat007:
I rooted my phone and have decided it's not necessary on my N7 (yet). On my phone I just end up with a bunch more apps that get updated more frequently (like Titanium). The only issue I have with the N7 is real small text on some apps (like Amazon App store), will rooting fix this? With a 3rd party launcher you can make the N7 look and feel any way you want. I have 4gb left of 16, so I may root "someday" if I want to put more music on it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmboy5:
Instead, how many apps require rooted devices? How useful and relevant are those apps compared to the fabled apps that block root (I honestly have never seen any)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangeroid:
The only one I can think of is Barclays Pingit - though not sure its compatible with N7 anyway.

Agree with previous comments - even if you dont need the benifits from rooting immediately its always best to root it at the start before you set it all up and have to wipe it all. I've learnt this the hard way before.

IMO the benefits of root overweight the downfalls, by far

It works. It will just display an unsupported device banner at the very top of the app, but it doesn't affect how the app works at all :)

Google Wallet also works fine with custom ROM's and Kernels, just have to make sure NFC is working on both the ROM and Kernel (don't think any ROM's and Kernels had any issues with Wallet that I know of).

Backing up

Hi,

I've had my Nexus 7 for about a month now and I'm thinking of rooting it. If I do, can I back it up somehow so it's exactly the same as it is now after I've rooted it? I know the nexus root toolkit has a "backup" option but will that backup everything on my device? Also, if I do root it will I be able to update it to android 4.2.1 (like it is now)?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aguillen89:
Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your comments, I was really on the fence about rooting until I read this thread. It was really informative, I have decided to root my N7 later today. The only thing holding me back was the warrenty, but if anything goes wrong I know I can ATTEMPT to restore it to the original system. Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .torrented:
Its so easy to unroot you just flash a stock rom from Google that gets rid of the SuperSU app and files then just lock the bootloader with Fastboot OEM Lock command and good as new PLUS there is a whole community of people here to ask tons of questions if problems arise

This is the EASIEST device to root because nothing is locked down so really you can't mess it up as long as you watch what you wipe/flash in the recovery Just make sure that you flash files for your specific device WiFi only or 3G don't mix those two that's my only warning lol

Toolkits are convenient but I highly suggest you download and install adb and learn it because it can prove to be helpful
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane1diamond:
absolutely just run a "backup" immediately after rooting your device through whatever custom recovery you go with either TWRP or CWM. Make sure you run the back up before flashing your first custom rom if thats what your intending to do. OH and most importantly have fun! welcome to your new addiction. LOL

Hey People.. I was running CM9 Alpha 11.. But my battery started misbehaving/draining.. so people told me to calibrate battery/ try clean install.. So first I tried clean install.. flashed xxkpe twice... but after that.. my phone is freezing after working about 2-3 mins.. then I have to remove by battery and start again. I have also tried wipe data/ wipe cache but to of no use.. WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME... also after flashing xxkpe twice i thought of flashing ddlf2 so that maybe the freezing could be solved but it didnt helped... then again i flashed xxkpe but still it didnt solved.. Now my battery is draining plus phone getting freezed after 2 mins.. please help I am worryin and i have switched off my phone... PLEASE HELP

EDIT: One thing i remember maybe before flashin i forgot to turn on USB debugging.. is that problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Hetalk:
Did you do a "Fix permissions" from cwm recovery? If not, go to recovery>advanced>fix permissions.

You don't need to explicitly do a battery calibration. It will be calibrated automatically as you use it for few days. Let it drain to minimum and then charge to 100% these initial week. You'll start seeing better battery information after a couple of days.

I don't think you need to worry about your phone if it's not heating or giving you a lot of errors.

Latest and most stable is ddlf2 ... The one before ddlf2 was ddkp3.

i was earlier trying the same dude. but constant freezes came... and sometimes kernel panic upload problems.

If it still freezes after ddlf2 ... and you are still in warranty .. go straight to your nearest samsung service center and let them check it out.

Make sure you aren't rooted then.

Limit background process

setting-developer option-Limit background processes

If you fancy an even more serious bit of fiddling, the same ICS developer area contains the option to "limit background process" demands by the OS. You can use this to stop your phone or tablet storing so many apps in memory. Whether this has any effect of the actual battery life of us users is up for debate, but again, it's something to play with and see if it suits your phone use patterns.

I personally find better myself with android RAM management, but this can be helpful to whom, who really crazy about keeping memory free all the time.at least you won't need to have third party application. I think this wud be better if you allow to keep 3-4 application in background.

Though your reviews are welcome here, how does you feel after using this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
its nice,

but had it kill my browser or app when I had typed something and was switching between the two. It was a long piece of typing and anoyed the crap I had to retype it all lol.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] babsmatter:
I tried to limit background process to 4 but when I access my task manager and chk the Ram it shows no difference of memory usage.Further when I close applications to free up some RAM,it says 29 :what: applications closed! Wonder this setting even works:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
No something went wrong. May changes not applied, otherwise it closes only 4 appl if you set it to 4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I think this limits multi-tasking to four apps.

It will let only four apps running.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I think it is not multitasking, it keeps application open if you have put appl to background(e.g. by pressing Home). But it auto kills appl which was closed by user.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Whiskeyjack4855:
Tried this method wasn't of much help to me..the ram usage was still 600~650 mb.. Switched to clean note and removed some apps by using titanium and now ram usage is 400 mb

Nope, just check after some time, it must be again higher. Removing application won't help more. as it will be replaced by last using appl.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@babsmatter

I think this will not kill active appl, like mail sync, facebook msg. but just kill inactive appl running in background.

after activating this option, you can mark it won't kill just 4 appl but sure list will be much smaller then stock setting, which usually have 23-25 appl in background.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fida khan:
Dr K. or anyone else please -Can you confirm if that setting ie limit process to four changes back to default with power off. It happens with my note and it is a bugger because it means going into settings and changing it back again.

It shouldn't revert to default setting which is the first setting ( i can't remember the name -it's something like STANDARD LIMIT or something like that) . I suppose there isn't anyway to keep it from reverting back to default with powering phone off. Oh Sod!..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] badge2033:
anyone figured out what th "standard limit" is ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fida khan:
Standard limit i assume means it either doesn't kill/ stop any apps you've opened and/or the system doesn't kill the apps that it normally keeps open (for faster access when it needs to open them) and are normally hidden - ie NO APPS ARE KILLED... Best two possibilities i could come up with
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yeah

Standard limit means, android won't kill any background process, till sufficient RAM is available.

When it requires free RAM, it kills background process which is not in use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fida khan:
Doctor k why does setting revert to default after power off. It's a pain. Does your note do that or is it just me. Lol . Thanks
