Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket

Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD

Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone

Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app

mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play

v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise

ES file explorer- save network drives

I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.

From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.

Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
[Android Apps and Games] j_dee:
Hey zetsui,

sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps? ;)

Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me :D

Mi sound recorder

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28295194

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.

Solid explorer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer

Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?

Cpu adjuster

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.cputweaks

Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.

Also worth checking out: servers ultimate.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate

These apps are in xda too, but play store linking is more convenient.

[General Questions and Answers] TechPlease:
I've got an odd problem with my Excite 10. A few weeks ago it started acting funny. What happens is every once in a while the screen will flash off and then back on again. When it does that it messes with my system, I have an app locker, and it re-locks the app when the screen refreshes, also, I'm trying to use an emulator that works with a bluetooth controller, but when the screen flashes the connection to the controller is lost, just as if I had gone out of the app and then back in. I'm running the latest OS as of this date, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

TechPlease
[General Questions and Answers] jeffsrawr:
google your phone and issue, and see if anyone else has your issue with current update.

if you think its hardware problem go to your provider and tell them the issue.

or you can go to ebay and order the LCD if you think the screen is responsible... dropping a phone can hurt the delicate ribbons inside... does squeezing different spots or shaking your phone cause any issues?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokodv:
Hello guys! I'm running Ultimate JB rom since v4 and since then I can't connect my phone USB in MTP mode. I tried many things like USB mode switcher from market, tried running manually script: setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb - but no success... It just connects in Mass Storage mode. After reboot it just goes in Mass Storage mode again! Mass storage mode works fine, but it's annoying to go and push the button to connect and then safely remove from computer and... Yeah, the process is slow and annoying for me.

Now im running Ultimate XXLSA JB v5, can somebody help me to fix MTP? Thanks in advance! :)

[HTC One X] stephensonbrady:
ok...so I just got the htc one x from att tonight...i followed the guide and unlocked the bootloader, then flashed twrp v2.3.1.0 and proceeded to try and flash viperx 2.6. first thing i did is use fastboot to flash the boot.img, then i went into recovery and flashed the rom. the process of flashing the rom was extremely fast which seemed a little suspicious..when it went to reboot afterwards i keep getting the htc screen with the red letters that you get when it is loading into recovery. it freezes at that point. i tried to flash a different rom at this point: Magnolia x, i did it the same way...flashed the boot.img via fastboot then flashed the rom in recovery, this time i get an error saying "Error in /sdcard/magnolia_x_1_0.zip (status 1)

Error flashing zip...

updating partition details...

failed

like a jackass i didn't make a backup of the stock in twrp. if anyone has any suggestions i'd be extremely grateful. oh...and when i try to flash a new recovery via fastboot it freezes when loading the recovery and i have to reflash twrp. so twrp is the only recovery that i can have flashed on the phone. i know i'm a dumbass. any help would be appreciated. i'll even welcome some flaming if it leads to me getting a working phone. : )

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pachonk:
Hey guys!

I am new to the forums, and I will be staying mostly in the "Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE" subforum.

I got my EVO LTE about mid-june and I am currently running CM10 Rom. I love the CM10 Rom, but if I had to come up with one thing to change on the CM10 Rom, it would be the ability to choose "Roam only" as a roaming mode.

I have been reading these forums for about a year and a half. My last phone was a Samsung Moment, and I found it not to be a very good phone.

I plan to read up, soak the knowledge, and help out wherever I can!

tl;dr:

I'm excited to be a new member of these forums!

Thanks,

Alexander

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
Hey guy's just figured id copy and paste this article I read about recovery backups and blob folder within..

If your like me you probaly wondering what this new blob folder is and why is it consuming alit of space...so I was gonna delete it but decided not too and read first this is what I found:

ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.

Don't delete /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

Overview

I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.

https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/L5aVZe7C9vg

Basically, here's what happens:

The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in

/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

So, if the hash of the file was*c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed

If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.

ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".

First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.

Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] msherman123:
Thank you for the info! I was just looking for this today as my blobs was about 4gb large :)

Question:

If I wanted to free up space and backup my backups to my PC, could I just move the backup folders with the entire Blobs folder and be good to go?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
Yeah personally that's what I did to save my backups i needed in case of anything...since the new system deletes your old one when making a new backup..it cleans or so called "unused space" now....what I did is save the whole clockwork folder and placed it on my computer and save them as according to what ROM now...this new setup I don't like....I had 4 GB in my blob folder too...what a waste of space. for a new idea..I understand there method of a full proof backup system..but why change something that wasn't broke in the first place right?...:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
I am not sure, but doesn't cwm have an option to backup to single file like it used to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
I'm not sure man..if you see it let me know..I'd love the old setup. This new way is horrible... Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xavier6303:
In theory this should be a much more efficient use of space. Im sure each backup contains a lot of files/data that is already backed up in a previous backup basically wasting space on redundant data. This is kinda like backup cubing sorta...at least the way Im thinking of it. This method saves nothing ONLY if every single backup is absolutely unique which would make your blob huge. I like the idea....but I use twrp so it doesnt affect me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
I don't have cwm installed, but check settings, I am confident you'll find an option for tar or whatever format it was before.

Have you tried twrp? I heard great things about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
You know I been flashing roms for so many years that I guess im old school. .lol I never tried twrp..I guess I should try it from alot of people giving it such postive reviews..I guess im just stuck in my ways ibshould be more openmined about recovery....lol....thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yeah no problem, usually I like to stick to what works for me as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cab121:
Have found that TWRP and CWM have there specific needs and functions. I usually try both when settleing on a dailu driver. Kinda odd but they handle data slightly different and bugs turn up on a install depending on one or the other. (Under controlled conditions and data that you can reference) . I have just had to accept that some things work well with TWRP and others with CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
Thank you guys for the info ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistermojorizin:
what if you just want to backup your nandroids to an external hard drive. I just copied most of my nandroids from the phone to my hard drive. and deleted them from the phone.

i didn't touch the blobs folder.

So now my backups I copied to my hard drive are useless without the blobs? And on top of that, if I understand correctly, the blobs needed to make those backups functional will be automatically deleted the next time i do a backup?

this sounds horribly horribly wrong. how do i copy functional nandroids from my phone to my hard drive?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stuart99:
Good question, I made 3 backups one of the stock rom, which I stored to my mac.

The most recent back up the blobs are still on my phone, does that mash my mac backups are defunct now?

Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dumbo53:
Great post wish777. I wondered about deleting a CWM backup when I read about the blob system, so it's great to have the garbage collection clarified.

Still, I agree with the other posts, the blob system makes moving a backup off the phone and back again unreliable. I am also old school - I ghost everything. That's why I'm using TWRP instead. I'm happier just dealing with image files that stand on their own.

I have a Tmobile GS2, stock and unrooted.

I have done what I can with BetterBatteryStats and Battery Monitor Widget, now i seek some help. :)

The logcat is 5 minutes in length starting with a boot, and 10 seconds of being unlocked and screen on. It has timestamps too! :D :P

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yxxact:
My Play won't show anything on the screen since yesterday. I think its battery had died but even after I charged it and still I wouldn't even get to the bootup screen when I tried to switch it on.

I flashed backed to stock firmware, and still wouldn't show ANYTHING on the screen.

I've tried to relock the bootloader so I can still use the warranty, but I'm not sure whether it worked really, because usb debugging was off.

I've never had ANY problems with either battery, flex cable or even overclocked too much.

So I'm begging for suggestions or at least a confirmation that my bootloader has been relocked, because then I could send it to sony.

The log from flashtool when I tried to relock is this:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
That's odd, I would buy a new battery before sending it in to be repaired. If you're in a contract you can call your carrier and have them send you a new battery. Verizon sent me a 9 foot USB cable, new battery & battery cover.....for free, because my phone was power cycling.

Long story short I got a new working phone and kept all the free stuff they sent me.

Unfortunately, European Carriers aren't that nice. What's power cycling? And my battery life was great, why would it suddenly die after not even a year of use?

Self explanatory, turns on & off randomly. Could be faulty battery, could be a lot of things. I'd get a new battery first to go ahead and rule that out if it's still giving you trouble.

I was trying to run the exploit so I could use HTC dev unlock and followed all of the instructions even pasted the commands and my phone is bricked. I have never bricked a phone and I've been hacking smart phones per directions since they came out.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
not yet....

but I may be on my way. I was kinda iffy on trying the exploit because I know lots of people have done it, but just the numbers for the sample size are still kinda small. I went ahead and did it anyway and followed the directions to the T. Everything was going good, then I got the access denied or something along those lines on the second command after the point of no return. I kept trying, nothing would work. So I gave up for now, but you better believe I am NOT going to be resetting my phone anytime soon, im going to keep that thing charged up and alive for now, until I am for sure its ok to reset it, but most likely not until I know this exploit goes through.

of course, being the hardcore lurker I am. I cant go ask questions in the unlock thread yet, so I have to wait until someone else has my problem(which they are), and hope I can find a fix for it.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I was EXACTLY in the same spot as you when I THOUGHT I was doing everything right, but I wasn't. You have NOT bricked your phone. In fact, you have not even passed the recovery correctly. When you send the command to restore backup.ab, the command prompt tells you to unlock your device and confirm the restore. Probably just like you I thought it was trying to unlock my device or something...no...you literally have to look at your phone (unlock it if it screen locked) and accept the prompt on the screen to restore the recovery. So, just .... look at your phone when it tells you to in this step and again later when you repeat it.
