U guys know of any good apps for recording sound
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ƶero:
i just tested a few apps for voice / audio recording and well, i must say they are really similar to each other in quality.

Tested so far those apps from market:

Easy Voice Recorder - Digipom

miidio Recorder - miidio

Smart Voice Recorder - Andrey Kovalev

Tape-a-Talk - Markus Drösser

Voice Recorder - MAMORU TOKASHIKI

Easy Voice Recorder and Smart Voice Recorder are in my opinion the best ones.

But even the others doesn't have that much difference from those, except Voice Recorder was really bad as i tested it (maybe wrong settings but i didnt even found settings).

If you don't have one of those apps you can try download one of them and test.

Just use the one which you like best, i will stay with Smart Voice Recorder becauseits really small 280kb app and the quality is really good and its easy to use !

Go into Settings and change Sample rate to highest 44.1kHz (CD) and record with the app the recording from my voice was really good and clear

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrwq.recorder&hl=de

Edit: The App throws the recorded sound (.wav) into folder SmartVoiceRecorder on the sdcard, so there is no other crap saved, which you don't want.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rmkilc:
So what would be the ideal settings? No sense in cranking up the bit rate that high if it doesn't help. Stereo sound doesn't seem to be stereo, so that setting change isn't worth it. Does the increase in decoding memory cap help? Does anyone think there are any settings worth changing?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KCRic:
Just got my Nexus so I haven't had time to look at much. Heck, I'm not even rooted yet. I do have a question though: what is this script doing?

For starters, the apk needs to be decompiled and the media.recorder.profiles smali file has to be adjusted. Honestly unless you do that everything else will result in crashes or a placebo effect. Again, this is coming from experience with a Galaxy SII, SIII, and a few HTC devices that had AOSP roms flashed.

Now, the media profiles .XML doesn't *have* to be adjusted to match the capabilities of the new apk but I would say its worth the extra 5 minutes. Again, I haven't even jacked with this phone yet but I can't imagine it being that insanely different since its still AOSP.

Not trying to crash any parties here, just my 2 cents. I'll take the criticism if I'm wrong about any of it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xmRipper:
Is there any before/after shots ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] badboy47:
thanks! will this work on AOKP? I am running [AOKP/CM/PA] Mako Vanilla RootBox Rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rmkilc:
Probably. Maybe. I dunno. :) You could try it and see. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] badboy47:
oh k thanks. let me backup everything. Gonna give it a try.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Crisisx1:
Does this mod actually improve the camera overall including regular pic
[Nexus 4 Android Development] daglesj:
Are we looking at this all the wrong way?

Is it a case of it's nothing to do with the bitrate but other settings that may be sitting in the cam such as noise reduction and de-blocking?

Maybe there are other settings that Sony (the maker of the cam?) set to rather too aggressive defaults?

Are there any other image affecting setting that could be adjusted? The pics I've taken with my Nexus look as though there is far too much 'manipulation' going on.

I am a little disappointed that the cam on my Nexus4 doesn't work as well as the cam on my other halfs Galaxy Note.

Can anyone do some 'digging'?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KCRic:
Going to decompile it tonight or tomorrow and see what's in there. I'll share what I get because some of it will most likely be out of my range of knowledge. I'm not good at color profiles and which models are best.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] daglesj:
So just wondering as the bitrates were a bust that anyone has been successful in digging around in the image processor side of the camera to see if there are any improvements to be had there?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HTCore:
This is my question as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Well guys as the title says itself, is there any safe, easy method of rooting S3 on 4.1.1 without triggering the flash counter and with stock recovery like CF Auto Root? But Auto root may trigger flash counter. So can anyone please tell anything about this matter? It's just i bought my S3 yesterday, not so snappy as expected, want to remove useless stock apps n etc but also want to be on the safe side.

Regards :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
rooting is completely safe. You can reset the counter later, because rooting in itself voids the warranty. But it's perfectly reversible, so you can revert to a fully stock phone with a zero counter.

If you are on the latest ELLA bootloader, the counter will be at 1 if you are rooted or modified in any way.

On older bootloaders use triangle away after rooting to reset the counter
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Nah i'm on Indian firmware 4.1.1. So should i proceed with auto cf root?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamIrene:
Yes

Else use exynos abuse
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Ok. I'll try and report back :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
Well guys i used Cf Auto Root and it worked like charm. Phone is rooted now :)

Hy Folks!!!

I bought a Mid tablet 2 days ago It's a sun4i CRANE-A721 and has an Allwinner A10 cpu with android 4.0.4

I found the original firmware, an .img file,

I want to modify it but 7zip and winrar gave me an error.. how can i modify it ?? i want to cook a room based on this firmware.

Suggestion??

Thanks a lot!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cest73:
@nicepose,

a) did You try to re-download the *.img?

or

b) update the 7zip You used?

did You reat this post here:

New Firmware for the Allwinner A10 LY-F1, A10 LY-F1HD A13 LY-FI

it looks like our devices based on this image(s):

LY-F1S

the third image reveals the back with the exact opening mine has (mine has a "QUART" as the "brand")

hope this helps (there are more *.img for download)

best regards,

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knight26:
Hello guys, i need serious help with my Samsung Galaxy S3, I just rooted today, and everything was working fine.

I decided to download chainfire 3d, thought i'd enable some unstable games to run, but quite the opposite my phone is now BRICKED.

I tried re-flashing my rom with ODIN, but to no help, the phone remains bricked.

I read some tutorials how to flash using the 'transfer to sd card from PC' rom. But there is another problem..

My pc doens't recognize my phone completely(icon doesn't show in My computer - winows 732bit).

Now im stuck at the Samsung logo, with no other options but hope someone here can help.. :(..

Ps; I tried cleaning the cache and dalvik cache from CW mode. Anything else im missing out??..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teambestyrandy:
When you Odin did you wipe data / factory reset after or before? Usually when you Odin and didn't wipe data in recovery mode you will get stuck at the Samsung boot up. So try going back to recovery and do a factory reset /wipe data and see if it boots up pass samsung logo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knight26:
In fact i dont even know if I'm doing it correctly, i only flash one file, the one i ROOTED with. its in the PDA location. I will try to wipe before and after..

Edit: I used ODIN and then i wiped data/factory reset from CW, and still stuck at the boot logo :(

I also got this error on my PC, MTP USB device did not install correctly. I downloaded the drivers from the official t-mobile support page, so i don't think its the Pc's fault. .

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teambestyrandy:
Try wiping data and see if it works. I it should pass the Samsung logo boot up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knight26:
Doesn't work.

Should i try to format my /data, /sdcard, etc, from the CW menu?.

Is there a risk in doing that?, I dont mind losing my data as long i get the phone back running.

EDIT: I flashed Odin, and it seems to be working now, I'm only left to wait for the phone to pass the bootloop.

what I had forgotten was to flash the stock firmware after i do the CW mode. Lets hope for best, I'll edit this post if it works.

EDIT 2: IT WORKS!. I'd post links to the stock firmwares, but not sure if that is allowed on the site. Anyway just google galaxy s3 stock firmware download.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fldash:
I'm running the latest stock rooted rom with init.d support. If I modify an init.d script or add an additional script, as soon as I reboot the my changes are gone. What is causing this? Is /system/etc/init.d part of the boot.img?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
I take you are still S-ON and that is the reason. the system does not allows permenent write. There are ROMS that fixed this issue for people with S-ON. Check in the development section and check out the ROMS that support init.d with permanent write to /system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:
Its specifaclly the kernel. Use the elemental kernel to fix that, or flash meanbean
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fldash:
Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
So all the time I see people on here post "what's the best ROM?" Well the simple answer is none. There's non such thing as best. If you talking terms of stability and lack of bugs tho then there's your question.

Rephrase your questions when asking about ROMs. Tastes differ and so do opinions what might be awesome for one person might feel crappy to another. Therefore there's no ROM people can say is the "best".

I personally have tried at least 8 or more ROMs for the sk4g and 12 for the amaze. Anyway, my dd for my sk4g has been smooth maximus ginger clone by ay0teddy with v6 supercharger flashed with the framework from smooth maximus x, the blaze 4g modem and, nxd's kernel. I have had limited problems using this combo. And I like the feel and look of everything. That's just my opinion. Thought I would share.

[HTC One X] curiouso9:
Hi guys, gonna be clear as possible,

using custom sense rom, free space /system partition will be around 700mb and AOSP rom will be around 1GB, any tick of your mind to utilize this space to install more apps? :confused:

Before this, i create new folder on /system and copy several .apk to it. then using symlink to linking them on /data/app.. however im getting tired as i need to re-create symlink everytime after flashing new rom. :(

Now i think its better to utilize it with moving dalvik cache directory to /system partition. Last night i try using symbolic link implementation for the idea, but its goes wrong, then I try adding script to init.d but nothing happen. - wrong script maybe.

Did anyone have the same idea??, or can you guys help me to create script to move dalvik cache to /system partition? :silly:
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I'm sure I used to do this (move apps) with Titanium Backup on my Desire HD.
[HTC One X] jonoathome:
I have used this.. have to reboot the phone a few times.. to get it to totally work.. seems to duplicate certain system entries in the data partition..

Needs a tweak here n there I think.. stumped though

Why no one has tried to implement this yet, I dunno... Given the space System partition can have.

Note; system partition has to be mounted as RW on boot..

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "++++ DALVIK 2 SYSTEM STARTING ++++"
mount -o remount,rw /system
if [ ! -d /system/dalvik-cache ]
then
mkdir /system/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /system/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /system/dalvik-cache
fi

if [ -L /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
rm -f /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /data/dalvik-cache
elif [ ! -d /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /data/dalvik-cache
elif [ -d /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
for filename in /data/dalvik-cache/*
do
if [ -L $filename ]
then

Wath kind of recovery is it? The default recovery or a CWM recovery with che BACKUP possibility?

I already have the root of my device whit another guide. can i only install the recovery without losing root?
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] Crank8x:
I have tried twice as you suggested. I odined to PDA section. Recovery is still the original.
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] androsamace:
Are you having customize firmware or stock one?

Try on stock one..
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] Crank8x:
I have stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] androsamace:
It is stock recovery. Try to flash this, and tell me, recovery will change or not.. don't worry about root, if you sucessfully change the recovery, you can easily root the device..

This recovery is necessary to use cwm also. And cwm for chat will also release soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] warrell:
cwm

Will be released soon cwm for galaxy chat?! this is a scoop! How do you know? ;)

how much time takes to build ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PacerguyDon:
Build times will depend on what Cpu, memory and hardrive you have.

My Macbook pro is a little older (2009) and is running a core 2 duo, with 8gigs of ram and a Momentus hybrid XT hardrive.

My build times are about 2.5 hours. Using ccache, and not doing a make clobber before the build, build times will drop down to about 30 minutes or less for me.

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for the guide. Everything worked like a charm.

One thing I did, just to avoid any unknown problems was to download the 10.6 sdk and add it to the Xcode sdk folder just for a little extra insurance being new to building with my Mac.
