[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
I can take care of handling donations and buying and sending him the device. I'm a little busy today but tomorrow I'll take a look at setting up my paypal account for donations and will post more details then. If someone wants to find one on ebay that looks like it's in good condition for a decent price in the meantime that would be great. I've seen some on craigslist for around $160 but from what I understand ebay is a safer route since there is some accountability in case of blacklisted ESN (swappa does not have any HTC Vivid's listed currently). Once we know roughly how much it will cost we can see how many people are interested so we can figure out how to split the bill.

I love to see jb sense 4 on vivid

Please, if someone can do this will be fantastic...:good::laugh:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
why not just see if someone can port a sense 4 rom? we just have to ask the dev hell some even put they dont care if you use their rom we just have to port from the sensation
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sorceforge:
Devs of vivid tried to port it from various ways, but they failed. Even if sense 4 roms got ported from sensation to vivid, making RIL work would be so much difficult.

Speaking of sense 4, I heard that the developer of sense 4 rom, chun has suffered from too many request PMs. Some of them were even mistranslated to Korean with google translator. He was really annoyed. Anyway, he said that the release will come soon with Leedroid tweak and much stabilzed kernel. Please, if you want to see the first sense 4 rom for vivid, let's thinks that he has his life. It will come eventually.

p.s. : He is in his vacation. He said he is enjoying skiing.

p.p.s. : However, porting sense 4+ would be different story. It is now JB, and therefore, it needs so many different drivers, and modification of framework. Even if we port sense 4+ roms to our vivid, and make it booted, RIL would be broken again.

On the bottom line, there is a saying that 'the more, the better.' I also hope newtoroot comes to our vivid, and show us some light.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
i am sorry to hear his pms got blown up. I mean if we have that sense 4.1 rom couldn't we get another sense 4.1 rom without venom tweaks and swap the frameworks? like miui? I can try just need permission to use a rom. I know everyone has a life I am against bugging and rushing ppl I would just like to try in my free time
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sorceforge:
according to the developer, he requested permission with PM, but, viper team did not even answer to him. Anyway, the rom is being developed. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
this is good. if he needs any help he can always ask us on here. it will be okay since we will not be using those tweaks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Posted an update in my first post on this thread. Donations open, let's see if we can make this happen this time around.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
If no more donations come in within the next few days I'll be pulling the plug and returning the donation. So far only one person has shown actual interest.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tradie:
Just wait for chun to be finished with his rom. get a dev to message him and ask to use his source and build a jellybean rom from it. shouldnt be that hard, if RIL is working, i cant see how updating it to jellybean will break it, it still uses the sense framework.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Donations closed and are being refunded. Hey at least it was given a shot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NeBlackCat:
Ah dammit

I just found this thread. The Vivid (well Velocity) is currently going for US$190 new here just now, branded to Telstra (so 850mhz 3g) but carrier unlocked. Is that any help?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Well considering that the total amount of donations (minus what I was going to put in) was $8, I kind of gave up on it. I'm not going to donate $180 myself (I was planning on stretching myself, but not thaaat much).

I think it would be epic to have newtoroot dev for this device. I don't think we'll get JB Sense (4+ or 5), at least not for a year plus. As cool as it is that WC is getting a 4.1 release ready, I'm not aware of any plans past that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maka11:
Hi All,

I woke up in the morning to check the time and found the screen off. (Which was ok just ten min before when alarm was buzzing.). I was confused why the device power button was not responding which was ok ten mins ago.

I tried restart it by long pressing power button. And was happy to see the normal boot and lock screen. I opened the lock screen and in the notification appeared "Preparing USB, checking for errors.", and then in about 10 seconds, the phone got frozen. I restarted many times by removing external SD, sim , etc but no use. Tried even connecting to PC, but didnt even detect.

Frustrated and then went to recovery mode (vol up+power+home) and "deleted cache data" . And checked , but no use. Now I have tried to factory reset from recovery mode (vol up+power+home). Now the android symbol appeared and then on the " Installing applications " screen, the device gets struck.

I went to Samsung service center, those guys informed it might be software prob and installed afresh, but no use the same happens. the service guy says software loading passed successfully but bo use. Screen stops at the same point "

Installing applications

" .

The service center guy says that my motherboard is gone...

Unfortunately just completed by warranty period also...

Any help anybody....:crying:

(Its was having ICS 4.0.4 of middle east version before this damage. I have not done any sort of tampering in terms of software or any external damages or drop down...)..pls guide...never even tried rooting stuff.. It was quite strange for me, with such a baby care, its gone forever...:crying:

The Worst thing to do on an android phone running Stock Android 4.0.4 firmware is doing a 'Wipe Data/Factory reset' on its Stock recovery ma8:)

as the stock kernel that comes with the same is plagued with the infamous ' Brick Bug'

I dunno how u missed this 'Sticky' link below for the same:)

If ur phone is responding for now then still u have a chance to revive the same, go thro the link above and see for some possible solutions:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maka11:
Thank you for your reply. Informed your suggestions to service center also.

The service center guy has informed that by doing some experiments, he could recover the phone, except one problem. That is the media scanning never ends and the galary doesnt open.

Any suggestions.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinmac:
I am bit confused ,

There is only a difference of 200 MHz and a armv7 processor can handle much more than a armv6 processor.

Many games today releases for armv7 or for the phones with 1024MHz processors,

My x8 reaches a top of 806MHz,

As an example,

i played GTA 3 without sound,

with increment of 200MHz others can play even gta Vice city with HD.

I gonna be mad, whats wrong here,

Please someone elaborate!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay-z-s:
Difference between these 2 types of processors is not just about CPUClock, arm7 processors also have a hidden memory called "cache memory" ,this memory is expensive & absolutely super-fast so CPU don't have to wait for data to transfer from RAM (slow compared to cache mem)

This cache memory in armv7 devices is about 1 megabytes, but in armv6 its just afew kilobytes :mad:

It's not just cache, CPU design in armv7 is different ,some games use special libs which is included in armv7 roms, etc,etc........

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
The differences between armv6-800 and armv7-1000 is NOT only the 200MHz. :)

The real difference is the processor design. The armv6 is older design (on x8 this is an arm1136 core), the armv7 is newer with more "knowledge". More complex instruction sets (the armv7 have special instructions what we not have) higher IPC (instructions per clocks), etc... Example: our x8 have an arm1136 core (possible to overclock to 800MHz), the xperia mini have scorpion core (similar to the popular cortex a9 design, but a little bit faster) what is 1GHz on default. But the scorpion core have newer float point unit (vfpv3 againt our vfp), have the armv7a addons in the instruction set, have the NEON extension (what is an audio/video proccessing accelerator), have the thumb-2 extensions (what is double fast than the old thumb-1) and finally: have newer GPU (adreno 205 against our adreno 200, what is theoretically have double computing speed).

So, if you compare the two phones, you can see: on paper the differences is small (400MHz (only 200 with oc) in cpu speed, near same gpu, same resolution), but with heavyweight apps (usually the hd games) the mini can be 2-3 times faster than our phone. :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant25:
I've been emailing with ASUS support trying to get OTA updates and Unlocking sorted out. They just asked for my MAC address, which I've read on this forum could be some kind of "MAC 1 vs MAC 2" issue (not sure what the issue is, just relaying from another thread). For the TF300T owners out there:

What are the first 3 bytes of your address (the OUI)?

It looks like mine (which is 5C:FF:35) doesn't appear to be ASUS, I guess it could be whoever makes the wi-fi chip, or it could be wrong. The first 3 digits just give you who the vendor is, and it can be looked up online easily. I'm curious if anyone else has this OUI or any that are actually ASUStek. Go Settings - About Tablet - Status, and look at the Wi-Fi MAC address. Thanks in advance for anyone who posts.

Oh, and can you/are you unlocked and can get OTA updates?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
Mine starts with the same thing.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvleeuwen:
Mine also started the same. I do not receive OTA updates nor can I unlock the tablet. I've contacted ASUS support and they told me today or after the weekend the problem should be fixed and I should be aible to unlock.

However, I did not have to supply my mac adress or serial number to asus support. Hopefully, they will fix the problem in general. We'll have to wait and see..

Spotify App with Bluetooth metadata (i.e. album , title , artist ) modification.

Attached is current version @ 4/1/12 (v0.5.4.73) - works perfectly with my Subaru Bluetooth, let me know how you go.

Installation Instructions (from fayez @ spotify):

NOTE: you will have to redownload your music (this may be prevented by manually copying the apk)

1. Download the .apk file and get it onto your phone (you don't need the AVRCP zip file at all - it's for reference only)

2. Uninstall your current version of Spotify

3. Install the custom .apk (you may need to turn on the ability to install from unknown sources first... It's in Settings > Security for me... Make sure to turn it off afterward)

4. Launch the app and log back into your Spotify account and enjoy.

You won't receive update reminders from the Play store, but will need to check manually (if you do see one, let me know so I can patch it. )

Original Post:

Hi guys,

I've been trying to modify the Spotify app so that the title, album and artist information shows up over bluetooth with AVRCP. I found a really helpful site with a patch/diff file showing the smali changes that need to be made. I've had a crack, but I think the current version of Spotify is different to the one the patch was made for.

the patch is set to make changes to one smali file (ad.smali) (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/ad.smali)

however the important parts of that file are now in x.smali (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/x.smali)

Any guidance/help would be appreciated. It frustrates me how my car stereo doesn't show up any useful information (even though it does with the stock music app)

I've attached the original smali, my attempt as well as the patch file.

2 things worth mentioning - it broke facebook authentication for me, but I fixed that by going into my spotify account on their website and generating a device password and using my device username/password.

https://www.spotify.com/us/account/set-device-password/

Secondly, the track progress isn't working on my 2012 VW RNS-315 but the display and controls still work.

Sad how everybody has been asking for this for over a year and Spotify just makes excuses and basically tells everybody it's too hard.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] planetf1:
Thanks! Very nice to see this.

I so hope spotify see fit to incorporate this into the official client.

Just one thought -- I also tried the method at http://www.julian-young.com/2011/04/21/finding-the-spotify-external-sd-location/ to move offline storage to sdcard, but the removal of the app to install this one clearly undoes that.

Is there any easy hack to this one to move storage to sd? (again a feature spotify need to put back)?

I realise an alternative is to root and fix up at the filesystem level using links/directory bind, but currently I'm using 2 apps (sky go, pingit) which have some issues with rooted phones (though I may give up on them anyway)

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] res_au:
It's strange they removed SD card storage. I use directory binder for that. You could hard code it. I'll look into it.

In terms of track time. It should be possible. I'll have a look into it. I'm pretty new to mucking around with smali though :)

I works good in my volvo however the meta text updates 10-30 seconds after the new song starts, or if I press Next track button in my car stereo.

To have the meta text update instantly you need to select a song in the spotify app in my android phone.

Anyway, a big THANKS for improving the app!!!

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Bergling:
Tried to install this yesterday, but since I have used the mentioned trick to have the music stored on my external card (install old version - change path - upgrade), the installation failed when trying to install this patched version. I guess this has to do with the signing key.

I'm not that familiar with Android development (yet), but I tried to replace the updated version apk with the patched, and it didn't work. Do they have to have the exact same name for this to work?

Is there any other way to replace the currently installed version manually? Would it work if I decompiled/repacked both the old version and the patched one and signed with the same key?

Would really love to have the bluetooth working, but I rate the possibility to have the music stored on SD card higher.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mikasand:
try this

I had problems as well. App did not work when I tried it first.

However it works good now after I installed it again using this procedure:

1. Clear cache / erase data files in : Settings, Apps, Spotify.

2. Uninstall old Spotify.

3. Install new patched App.

4. Login using Spotify username/password (do not login by using Facebook).
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Leonart:
Honestly I think it's nuts that someone had to patch this in ahead of Spotify's actual development team.

I appreciate this. Just installed a new head unit and it bothers my OCD that I can't see any metadata.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Bergling:
Yes, I know it works if I unstall first. Sorry if I was unclear.

But since I have used the method of first install an older version to set the offline path to the external card, and then upgrade to the latest verson, I don't think this setting will "survive" if I uninstall first.

Hence, I would like to simply "replace" the currently installed version with the patched apk, without doing an actual install. Is that possible somehow?
