Yes, although I have found more often it's the other way around -- e.g., many of my CM10 apps are not compatible with CM7 or my previously rooted NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Yeh - I randomly found some that work with my newer ROM, so I guess I just have to wave goodbye to some that won't "upconvert"

BTW - Could not "pick up" on an incoming call with Talkatone, but can call out. Ever encounter this and is there a better app for making calls?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deeva:
I'm trying to make the switch to WP8 from my beloved Android for a few reasons: the awesome smoothness and fluidity of WP8, simplicity, less clutter. I have a new Nokia Lumia 810 on T-Mobile. Not too happy with the build quality but a new case helps overlook that.

But there is ONE thing I noticed, that will make me go back to my Android real quick: If an app is using audio on WP8, and it hides or goes to back (or whatever the correct term is), it stops playing the audio! So essentially if I'm streaming music or trying to sleep using the sounds of Sleep Bug etc, and I try to do something else like browse or FB, the audio stops until I go back and bring that app to the front.

Is this just how Windows Phone works or am I missing something? This is driving me crazy, using audio in background is a very important feature for me. I can deal with all the other little bugs of WP8 but I will get rid of this thing if I can't run audio while the app is not at front. :rolleyes:

Any input on this? Much appreciated, thanks. I looked and looked but I really can't find anything on this issue anywhere...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:
What applications are we talking here. Remember in Windows Phone there is a difference if you hit back and not the home button. So if you fire up some music make sure to hit the home button to make sure you do not suspend the app and stop the music.

If they are older apps not compiled for WP7.5/8 then it might not work but I think most if not all apps have been recompiled.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deeva:
Thanks, that is a good tip for Windows Phone use, because the back key on Android doesn't close out the app. Gotta get used to that. But I tried the home key and some apps still stop audio, example I use Sleep Bug and Soothr a lot. Sleep Bug will not play while other audio is running and Soothr WILL play while other audio is running but has to stay at front. It will stop playing even with home button only pressed. I guess this has to do with the way the apps are created? This will totally kill my desire to convert to WP8... :crying:
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link68759:
Apps don't run in the background- they can have daemons which have limited functionality (minimizes battery and resource usage). So when an app is minimized, it is frozen, and it's ability to update live tiles/etc in the background is more or less independent of the running status of the app.

There is a system music player- apps can connect to it and direct music at it, and it will continue playing the music regardless of if the app is running. If the app doesn't use the system to play audio, then it is entirely within the app and thus gets frozen/killed with the app. If music apps are doing this to you, there are one of three reasons: the developer is retarded, the app is ancient, or the music content isn't supported by the system's player.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
It depends on how the app was built. Apps can implement background audio agents, which can play music even when the app isn't running (be it tombstoned or inactive, or simply closed).

Other apps, like youtube, use a media element object to play what they play. These kind of apps are entirely dependent on being in the foreground. Usually, you can tell which app uses what by pressing the volume buttons: if the volume bar displays the music played by your app, it means you can safely go out of the app. If it doesn't, it means it is local, and leaving the app kills the player.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSMR:
This sounds terrible.

If this is true, it may be impossible to write a working music player, where working requires:

-gapless playback

-support of common audio formats

Since the system music player has neither.

I was planning to get a WP8 phone but if I will never be able to play my music even on a 3rd party app, I will definitely think again.

Can someone confirm or deny this?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link68759:
I'm no dev, but yes, that sounds right; at the current time, unsupported formats means the app has to stay in the foreground.

I believe there is a dedicated decoder chip for supported audio formats, the usage of which saves battery (whereas the CPU decoding would be wasteful on the battery), so it's not just an arbitrary limitation. Unsupported formats can be decoded by the CPU, perhaps at the cost of better battery life. I don't think it's terribly significant though, because afaik android has no proprietary media decoding circuit and therefore all of its music operations use the battery suckin' CPU, and android phones don't just drop dead when playing music.

If you're just listening to music, there's no reason unsupported formats can't play in app while the screen is off and the phone in your pocket- you just can't multitask. There is currently only one flac player afaik and it sucks (also it's in Japanese so I have no idea what's happening).

I'm not so sure the system player doesn't support gapless.

I like my flacs as much as anyone, but no phone is going to have a good DAC where it'll actually be worth it. All you're accomplishing with flac on a phone is a false sense of satisfaction and wasting space- just convert what you want to MP3 or if you must, lossless WMA, or that weird HQ m4a format.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Why would you need unsupported formats? As far as I know, WP8 supports quite a lot of formats. So unless you come up with some obscure algorithm nobody heard about, you shouldn't have any issues.

As for the built-in player...well...what the other guy said is partially true. Yes, you do direct music to it, but the player only plays the music. It is entirely up to the developer to decide how he directs the music. Hell, I think I can make it play music backwards with a little effort.

I all likelihood you won't need a third party app. And if you do, just hold on a few more weeks till I get mine done xD
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link68759:
How about any lossless codec ever, besides wma? You must not be an audiophile. I did say it's a waste of space (and it would be) but if you have space to spare, it'd be nice to not have to convert and manage an entire second library just for the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
I think you are terribly and unfortunately misinformed.

WP8 supports, as far as i know, every single codec available to the music industry. If there is one missing, that is .ogg.

take a look here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff462087(v=vs.105).aspx

So, codec support is really something you don't need to worry about, as opposed to Android.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link68759:
You really don't know what you are talking about. At all.

Missing from that list are flac, alac, ogg, ape, wav, hell I don't even see wma lossless in there. So there is zero support for lossless audio codecs. Flac, ogg, and wav are very popular formats, so don't tell me they're obscure.

Missing from video is mkv and flv! extension support. mkv is pretty much the best container, but I'm not surprised it isn't supported. Video support is pretty good all things considered- though I'd like On2 decoding because those pop up with some frequency.

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Flv is a dieing format. If you want to play flash videos, use third party apps.

WAV is supported: my game uses WAV files for sounds, so it is supported.

OGG is indeed not there, i've already agreed to that.

As for MKV, microsoft has copyright issues with matroska, as do many video player developers, and that usually requires a dedicated player, or codecs provided directly by Matroska.

You also need to look at the specific processor type you are using. WP7.5 for example, does not support WMV, whereas most WP8 do.

With the real multitasking available to WP8, people can develop codecs for missing formats. The developers, however, need to know that they effectively have to change the way their application work, in order to run in the background all the time. You as user, also need to explicitly agree to said app running in the background. The same can't be said about WP 7.5 users, however:(

If you buy a WP8, you will be fine as far as music players in concerned. You might need to wait for a decent developer to make a proper player.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oZed:
As a developer who has played around with this sort of stuff for Windows Phone, it is possible to write support for new formats in both WP7.x & WP8 but it isn't an easy task. You would have to implement a streaming audio application as written about here.
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
are there any other developers like cyanogenmod, by this i mean are there any others making ground up, from scratch custom roms for the vigor / rezound?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
well you have AOKP which is CM with more options. and you have MIUI which is new source based off AOSP.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Team BAMF makes paradigm from straight AOSP as well.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
thought it was also CM but their version. I could be mistaken thanks for the info :good:
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
well, it seems paradigm is a dead project since apophis took leave, aokp seems stalled.

oh well my current rom is really stable and seems to work nice, i just wanted to try something new and possibly progressive in the sense of i don't know different ui and maybe some cool features.

maybe i should look at miui again, wonder if it is 100% now and the themes are in english, but ironically i like the sense 4 look except i think the devs removed the 3d look or htc did.

still not sure what i am looking for lol

edit:

i did forget to ask, how can i 100% wipe my sdcard with amon ra, when i try to wipe it, i get a error for a system file, blk something with letters and numbers, i have forgotten what it was exactly.

and i keep getting oops something went wrong because of it and it is not making a log file, 3.14 is the latest amon ra?

o.O cm10 project, maybe i will like it more than 9?

also

@synisterwolf

i have a laptop sitting around that could do builds, running ubuntu studio x64 latest version still i believe and i think it has mostly 160gb of free space, my network is about trash, but i might could be persuaded to give ssh or teamviewer access and maybe mirror since it has a lamp server running.

as long as a bf2 aix server sometimes running won't hinder a build.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
There a few others, but none as popular. I know imnuts makes Butternutz for the Nexus devices. It wouldn't be difficult to build for vigor. There used to be Gummy, but that team dispersed. The github is still there, but it's not going beyond ICS.

still having trouble with amon ra 3.14, how can i 100% wipe my sdcard with amon ra, when i try to wipe it, i get a error for a system file, blk something with letters and numbers, i have forgotten what it was exactly.

and i keep getting oops something went wrong because of it and it is not making a log file, 3.14 is the latest amon ra?

edit:

found 3.15, see if it solves my issue any, it appears to with this in the changelog

NO ERRORS! finally lol
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
well i hope this information goes to good use for someone who has the knowledge on how to build a rom, i would very much like to learn how to port the htc sense 4 clock with all of its features, i know there are some that have been done to work with the apex launcher, but they do not flip.

but like i said before i am looking for something different, not really into aosp or aokp, but if something entirely new were to be based on those and always running the latest android version that would be cool, even if the look didn't change often and as long as it could be customized to look however you want, like complete ui theme capability.

maybe i am not making much sense, but i was just thinking, if we could unite all of the devs to work on one project together i think we could have one awesome XDA rom.

i guess forget basing everything on cyanogenmod and sense, let's make our own launcher with different clocks and widgets, XDA devs unite ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
My father-in-law got a Prime about a year ago and used it for a month. Last night I came into my possession! So with what little time I had last night to play with it I unlocked the bootloader. I'm running 4.0.3 and the build is 9.4.2.21 (I know the last number is 20-something but I don't have it in front of me so I can't verify this but I think it's 21).

So I have the bootloader unlocked but I am a little cautious on how to proceed. I'm not new to rooting cause I did it on my OG Droid, Thunderbolt, and Verizon SGS3 but I've never used NV Flash so I just have a few things I was hoping the Prime community could help me with. I have read through the development forum but nothing really lays out steps. There is a video to unlock the bootloader and other videos showing how to root. Like I said, I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right.

How I think the steps go:

1) Unlock Bootloader (DONE)

2) Install Recovery (TWRP)

3) Run NV Flash (can this be done on ICS or JB?)

4) Root using an ICS one click method (this seems to be an easy one to use zedomax one click

5) Upgrade the bootloader from ICS to JB (not sure how to do this or where to get the JB bootloader)

6) Install JellyBean ROM of choice (Energy ROM seems to be pretty popular)

Any help/advice?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You have unlocked so now get nvflash done http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ you can only do this while on ICS and if you make backups of the files created during the process you can never hard brick your device so get this done first.

Once that is done you can flash TWRP for ICS (make sure it is ICS version while on ICS bootloader, you will install a JB version later on)

You can now go about updating to jellybean bootloader and custom rom. You do not need to root first as the root will be built into the custom rom.

The easiest way I can suggest is to follow my instructions in the second post here for "Upgrade Instructions for ICS" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674827

If you wanted to install energy rom instead of Hairybean just replace the hairybean 1.51 rom in the instructions with energy rom and do the same.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
Awesome! Thanks for the help!

Couple questions:

1) I read through that second post and the TWRP update says "HairyBean TWRP Update." I'm guessing what this does is install a JB version of TWRP. Question is, does it matter that is is labeled with "HairyBean" if I am going to install something other than that ROM?

2) ROM suggestions? I just read some posts of people saying they really like Energy ROM. How's HairyBean? Comparison between the two?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
1. Hairybean Twrp is just a version I made that looks like you are in Jellybean and to me has a more logical layout. There is also an installer script that you run from windows to make it easier for people to install. If you want the default look then go to the twrp website and get the ics version and run the commands manually. It makes no difference what twrp you are running it is just cosmetic.

2. They are both based on stock rom, Hairybean looks more like the standard Jellybean where as Energy rom is themed. It is all down to personal preference. Try both and see which one you prefer.

edit.. Don't forget you are going to need an ICS version of twrp first. The hairybean twrp is for after you have flashed the JB bootloader.

edit 2.. There is a version of ICS twrp in this link you can use http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34477681&postcount=5705

Can I just flash ICS TWRP using an app like ROM toolbox or can I only do it through a windows machine using the .bat file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Ah, are you using linux or mac? The bat file is for windows yes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
Using Windows.

I was just curious if it could be done through the tablet or if I need to use the computer to do it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You can do it thru the tablet but it is a last resort really.

Download - ADB / Terminal method (not recommended):

Download the corresponding .blob file above. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Then reboot normally (NOT to recovery) to complete installation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
Yea, you know, I think I'll just do it through my PC. Sounds like the safer method!

Just reading up on NV Flash right now. That seem like the most complicated process compared to what you laid out for me above....but it doesn't look too bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
It looks complicated but is simple really. Just follow the instructions one step at a time and all will be good mate ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
Yea, not too worried. Like I said, I've rooted every Android phone I've had. Also had the HP Touchpad for a while and that thing was scary at times when using mooboot.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schmaltzy:
I've got a problem.....I can't figure out how to flash TWRP for ICS. From my rooting experience, I was going to flash it through ROM Manager or ROM toolbox but you need root in order to do that. I can't seem to get root though. I tried Zedomax and TPSparkyRoot but I can't get root access. How do I flash TWRP or any recovery for that matter without obtaining root access?

I did the NV Flash and it went good. FYI

Extract it to your pc.

Power off the prime and then hold down power button and volume down for about 10 seconds until you see icons on your screen. Press volume down to go to the usb icon and then press volume up to enter fastboot mode (it will say entering fastboot mode and freeze on your screen, this is normal)

Make sure you have the drivers installed on pc for fastboot. You probably did it when you did nvflash but if not get them here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426502

Now run the bat file from the zip you extracted earlier and follow the onscreen instructions.

I did all that and it says it installed OK but how do I get into the recovery now?

The CMD window closes and my Prime is still on the fastboot screen. What buttons do I hold/press to get into TWRP?
