Yeah, I thought so. I'll stick to stock, it feels less buggy. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] josh90265:
So I recently finished up a car project for myself by adding an auxiliary input to my stereo and wanted a way to stream music wirelessly. I searched online and on ebay and finally found this little bluetooth music receiver:

http://www.amazon.com/ECOMGEAR-Blue...8411&sr=1-9&keywords=bluetooth+music+receiver

I bought mine through ebay but it's the same piece of equipment. It was cheap, small, and actually received some good reviews compared to some higher priced BT receivers.

So my setup is as follows:

I have the BT music receiver plugged into a dual USB power source that is in the cigarette lighter, which sufficiently powers the bluetooth piece. Then I am able to connect my phone and the BT receiver and play music through my aux input.

Here's my question to you all...

I've been noticing that when I play music through the BT receiver I can hear audio is the background similar to the revving of the engine. I think it's some type of electrical interference between the two and I was wondering if anyone might have had a similar experience.

AND, if anyone has any advice as to any way that that background noise can be eliminated.

Another issue was a popping sound that was noticed while playing music. This was addressed in the reviews section at amazon that I forgot to read before buying :(

Thanks all!
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
The only contribution i can make here is that my car has a native a2dp streaming BT audio (through the nav system). And I have no issues like the ones posted.

The sound quality is okay, while not excellent. its certainly bearable.

This leads me to believe its your dongle...
[HTC EVO 3D] dethmetaljeff:
What you have there is a ground loop. While the ground of your cigarette lighter and of your aux in should be at the same voltage potential (0 since it's ground), they aren't so you're getting some stray voltage in the line which probably changes as you accelerate (your alternator spins faster further messing w/ the voltage potential difference between the two). There's two ways to fix this. 1) connect the ground between your radio and your cigarette lighter together...this should equalize the voltage potential between the two grounds. 2) you can try a noise filter on your aux line...something like http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nT6qiAHZMry/p_127SNI135/PAC-SNI-1-3-5-Noise-Filter.html should do the job.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
Okay so its essentially the same problem as if you were to be trying to use the AUX in your car while charging your phone in the cigarette lighter. ou always seem to get a certain amount of whining noise in the background.

Hello,

I used to have a Xperia x10. When I used Google maps in x10 the map used to move like a compass when I turned the phone around. ...... I bought a arc s few months back. But when I use Google maps, the map does not turn like a compass. What is the problem? Can any one explain this?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel.:
Updaate your google maps to the latest version ( if you are on ICS )

Go to maps app and

tap on this option once, wait for it to show your location, as soon as the pointer appears, tap on it again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techno-np:
Yes I tried that option many times ...when I press that option nothing happens the map does not turn when I move the phone...

I am not getting what's wrong !!!

Thanks for the reply. ..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techno-np:
I just found out that my compass is not working !!!! What could be the cause of this ? Can any one tell ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel.:
How did you find that ?

dial *#*#7378423#*#* in phone-pad > service tests > compass > move your device, shake it and see if the values are changing

if they are, then your mobile's compass is all fine.

Tell me the version of maps you are using and the build number of your phone too
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr5411:
I just started maps and taped on marked location and compass shows up and map started to rotate.

No need for second tap (2nd turns off compass). And you can do it slowly.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techno-np:
Yes I tried the test...when I tap compass the test says

"this device does not support this feature"

I am not getting anything.....does this mean my Arc S does not have Compasss ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DROIDPM:
Hi Yasir,

Aroma installer is a touch based interface in recovery mode for ROM installations. You don't have to do nothing just follow the steps mentioned as it comes up on screen.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NOT CONFIGURED (need time) "AROMA" FOR CUSTOMISED PACKAGE INSTALLATIONS. SO IF YOU SELECT IT, IT WILL INSTALL ONLY THE DEFAULT PACKAGE (full rom).

Enjoy "GBSandwich"!!!!

AROMA INSTALLER

@My friend DPM

Does Aroma Installer come from your home kitchen?????

Is it your creation?????

Be a man, Don't suppress the name of original creator while explaining their work.....

Last time you did the same thing you was giving data2ext tutorials like is like your work, who compiled ext4.ko You or banjo????

Dont forget you are just a porter not a Rom coocker like bala.....

As mention, in the android world of open source, we learn, we share& we grow together...We share knowledge on forums & for that, we should respect those who contribute & give credits to them if we use their work...

ALL FRIENDS WHAT DO SAY ABOUT THIS ,PLEASE COMMENT....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DROIDPM:
REPLY

Hi @mmrehman

I am very sorry to say that you misunderstood & made a mess of all the statements, which I never expected from a fellow MI350n user.

Can you please mention where did I tell that AROMA INSTALLER is developed by me? ITS A VERY WELL KNOWN FACT TO ALL THOSE WHO POST IN THESE KIND OF FORUMS, THAT IT IS DEVELOPED BY AMARULLZ. :confused: I am still confused whether at any point of time I did mention/introduc/boast myself as a ROM COOKER/ROM DEVELOPER. In fact

I AM A MAN

to openly admit in an open forum like XDA that I AM NOT AT ALL A ROM DEVELOPER. I HAVE TAKEN THINGS FROM HERE & THERE & MADE SOME PORTS WHICH WORKS ON OUR MI350n. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528414&page=23 Please click above link to see the post by yourself & verify.

And if you are talking about the start up "logo" file which mentions "created by DroidPM", then please understand I am mentioning about "GBSandwich" which is a themed ROM & not AROMA, ext4.ko, Data2ext Mods etc etc.

Also talking about the tutorials (data2ext & aroma), I have configured AROMA for the ROM installation according to my needs & data2ext mod placings of files are different as compared to others (SCRIPTZ folder). Hence the tutorials posted are specific for my ROM(s), the way I utilized & configured them.

I once again request you to visit & check properly I have mentioned already tat I liked Bala's ROM a lot.Click HERE. I am not comparing myself or boasting of myself as a GR8 ROM DEVELOPER.

I very well know what I am, & what I am capable of & what not. I started porting ROMS out of my passion & for my own personal use with my own likings & taste. Then I thought of posting my work in XDA just thinking that others can also benefit from my work who are LIKEMINDED & having similar sought of taste as of mine. I have never done this ROM porting job for any kind of commercial benefits or to have fame. In fact if you follow my posts you will not get any (not a single) appeal for pressing Thanks Button or asking for donations.

Sorry if I am getting in to it a bit more than expected, but to be very frank, I am really hurt. Never expected this kind of behavior here. I agree due CREDITS should be given but that can be mentioned & told in a much generous way, not like the above mentioned by our friend @mm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasirmujtaba:

Gbsandwich Porting to Lenovo A60

Hi@dave3001

Lenovo A60 already have some beautiful custom ROMS..You can try any one of them, performance wise & interface wise will alsmost be the same.

But still if you want then follow the steps carefully. Porting also should be fairly simple...

1. Download GBSandwich.zip

2. Assuming you have the ROM update.zip with you.

3. Now, in GBSandwich.zip, delete the /system/etc/firmware folder

4. Copy your ROM's firmware folder & paste it in GBsandwich zip file in the same path mentioned earlier.

5. Delete the boot.img in GBSandwich.zip

6. Copy the boot.img of ur ROM & paste it inside GBSandwich (If you also need to change the logo then replace the logo.bin of GBSandwich with yours.

7. In build.prop change the ro.product.model to your product (LenovoA60)

8. Also (optional) change ro.product.locale.language=(your language), ro.product.locale.region=(your region)

Now this should help you to boot up with GBSandwich. If you still find problems or some device errors, then some serious porting is required..

Happy porting & enjoy GBSandwich . . . .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dave3001:
em i going to use the build.prop of the gbsandwich and all i need is to change the lines that you said sir? ill let you know if i make 1 ported rom if not sir can you help me fix it? thank you sir for the reply.

Google Now Alternative . . .

Hi all

What do you think of the attached app which claims to be GOOGLE NOW alternative which comes with Jelly Bean. The sad thing is it is not yet fully internationalized, as it recently released. Not all options works well in INDIA. Once they come up with full database, I think it has potential . .

Just use it & share your experiences . . .

sir droid this is what i use as a base rom i currently using dis. http://www.mediafire.com/?60k0nni6qkb132c if you have time sir to check on this rom that would be a great help for me. not so good in porting thats why im needing your help sir. Thank you sir droid in advance.. :good:

Hey Dpm and bala bro,

I have a suggestion for you guys......

please use android 2.3.5 as your base rom.....

I've founded that 2.3.5 is much lighter and very stable .....

and there is a lock mod called "crt lock" on a75

so can we port that to our 350n
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DROIDPM:
Hi@Yasir

After googling a bit I found out that most say 2.3.6 is better than 2.3.5 much due to BETTER BATTERY LIFE, SMOOTHER SCROLLING, LESS LAGS etc.

Also can you tell me a bit about crt lock..What is it ???? where can I find it???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasirmujtaba:
Bro I am Talking About Our Phones

in senseogb battery lasts longer than gbsandwich

and more free ram and overall a better performance ........

Lenovo A60 Patch . . .

Hi dave

Here is a patch for Lenovo A60 for GBSandwichV2. Follow the steps mentioned below. Please note that the patch made by me is without any device testing, & hence it may or may not work. So please backup your ROM before applying patch or installing GBSandwich.

FOLLOW THE STEPS CAREFULLY :

1. Download GBsandwichV2.zip & put in your sdcard.

2. GO TO RECOVERY MODE & WIPE ALL DATA (FACTORY RESET). THEN WIPE DALVIK CACHE.

3. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE GBSAndwichV2 ROM FILES (ZIP FILE) & DIRECTLY INSTALL IT.

4. NOW DO NOT REBOOT YOUR DEVICE. APPLY THE LENOVO A60 PATCH DIRECTLY IN RECOVERY MODE WITHOUT REBOOTING AFTER INSTALLING GBSANDWICHV2.

5. AFTER THE PATCHING IS COMPLETE, REBOOT YOUR DEVICE.

6. If all goes well, you should boot up with GBSandwichV2 in your device.

:good: BEST OF LUCK :good:

IF EVERYTHING WORKS WELL PLEASE STOP CALLING ME SIR DROID.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DROIDPM:
hI

I know, but i think, if all the apps, modded settings & the ICS framewok was to be embedded in senseoGB it would also behave the same way I THINK.....

Anyways ...

Can you tell a bit more about the crt lock you spoke about...Where can I find it??? Is this the same as crt on/off animation???
