Hello developers, I am not a developer, but interested in making an android app making group.

I cannot pay any salary, but have great ideas for an android app.

I bet if we make an app like it, we can earn a lot. So I am looking for a developer, any type of android developer.

I have an awesome idea for an android game.

Contact at this thread. If interested in joining my company or my email

Do I need to wipe the sdcard partition before I flash? Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
1st thing before you do anything: nandroid backup

now you are safe

- if you are upgrading the same rom, then don't wipe the sd partition, otherwise you lose your apps... generally a rom upgrade you can flash straight over the top without wiping anything.

- if you are switching roms, then yes you do a full wipe. make a titanium backup or similar to keep all your apps. then if you're using 4ext recovery there is an option "wipe all partitions except sd card", this formats everything: system/data/cache/sd-ext etc, but not the FAT32 partition of your sd card, where music/photos etc are stored.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty68:
As said, DO NOT wipe the sd partition! It's safe to write skill the others because you do have a titanium backup of your apps....

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzik_man:
Near Field Communication = NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4cm or less to initiate a connection. NFC allows you to share small payloads of data between an NFC tag and an Android-powered device, or between two Android-powered devices

To emphasize on the usefulness of this capability: Transfer between 2 devices with the same technology & NFC enabled on both !

What's the procedure for installing a sense rom on the htc one x?

My phone is rooted and has twrp installed... I think the bootloader was unlocked in the process...

I tried to install some roms before (don't remember which ones exactly) but after the installation the rom would get stuck on the boot animation.

(I could hear the bootsound stuck and looping)... I had to revert to a backup after that...

Help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Simba501:
Sounds like you're not using fastboot to load the appropriate boot img. This is due to an incompatible bootloader; it won't take boot flashes in recovery.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmittyRN:
Am I the only one who can't stand to try to talk on the phone while using the sound isolating earphones? It drives me crazy, it feels like you are talking with your fingers stuck in your ear and all I hear is my own muffled voice echoing in my head. Plus, when I'm doing various other things, I need to be able to hear other stuff going on around me. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to music through my set of isolating buds, I just need something different for other times.

From what I understand, what works with other Androids won't necessarily work with the Samsung. So which ones are known to work with the Galaxies? I thought about trying the new Apple buds, as I hear that the mic works but not the volume controls. Anyone know if it's a wiring issue? I'm not above popping the mic/control case open and switching some wires around if I need to. I've got the skills.

Any recommendations, anyone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LochNiss:
What's wrong with the buds that came with the phone? If you find another brand let me know b/c I can't find any cables with a working mic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
Why don't you just stick with the earbuds you have an like for music?

Pop out one of the buds and you should be fine. You can hear your surroundings, won't have the "voice in your head" effect you are getting with both buds in but still have the clear audio you get from a good seal. The biggest plus of that arrangement, at least in my opinion, would be that you don't have to decide which headset you have to bring along or carry both of them just in case you need the other one.

The non in-ear headphones always fall out of my ears at the slightest movement. But that may just be me.

The remote of the headset I got with my HD2 works fine on the S3. It did come with ordinary ear buds, not the in-ear kind. You should still be able to find them on ebay. They do work for phone calls (you'll have to crank the volume up with non in-ears, though) but don't expect the same quality you get from your s3 headphones when it comes to listening to music.
[Nexus 4 General] -Mindroid-:
The microphone for the Nexus 4 is very noisy. A user on another thread described a video he recorded

to sound as if it was "recorded underwater".

I looked up the Android SDK and the MediaRecorder object has access to the following audio streams:

CAMCORDER, DEFAULT, MIC, VOICE_CALL, VOICE_COMMUNICATION, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_RECOGNITION, VOICE_UPLINK.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.AudioSource.html

I noticed that while audio and video recorders sound bad on Nexus4, voice calls are of decent quality.

Not all phones have the hardware to handle all these so most sound recorders use MIC or DEFAULT.

I found the source code to the MIUI Sound Recorder and it was easy to add a setting that lets you

manually select which hardware stream to record from.

I ran some tests on the Nexus 4 and came to the following conclusions:

- MIC, DEFAULT and VOICE RECOGNITION are probably the same stream and sound bad.

- the CAMCORDER audio stream is the cleanest.

I propose that until Google and LG fix this issue ROM developers alter the Android API on Nexus 4 (only)

so that the CAMCORDER stream always overwrites MIC and DEFAULT.

I'm attaching the modified MIUI Sound Recorder with manual stream select if anyone wants to do

tests on their own. Here's an amplified view of MIC vs CAMCORDER.
[Nexus 4 General] faux123:
I modified my kernel to fix this and I used your apk to test for both mic and camcorder and I don't notice the difference with my updated kernel.

http://faux.androidro.ms/mako/beta/mako-jb-kernel-004b06.zip

check for me to see if I really fix it or not since I am not an audio expert
[Nexus 4 General] -Mindroid-:
Thank you, faux!

I've been meaning to try your kernel for a while so now I just have to. :)

Please treat my ideas about how Android exposes the audio stream as a speculation for now.

I didn't run any in-depth tests and I didn't trace the kernel code.

To my ears the MIC/DEFAULT streams are very noisy. The CAMCORDER one is noisy also

and but somewhat less so. They all sound bandpassed (probably a microphone limitation).

I'd like to know what other users think of the sound.
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
Very interesting.

I agree that N4 mic is so sensitive that it picks up a lot of background noises. I have been tweaking with mic volume to offset it.

If OP is true, then there's a hope for VoIP users who use Csipsimple. Without changing the kernel, csip can use CAMCORDER mode by changing the settings under media>audio troubleshooting.
[Nexus 4 General] -Mindroid-:
The very high mic gain is the main issue with the sound quality. It needs to be adjusted from

the kernel driver which is not a trivial procedure. Gain from apps works on top of the hardware

gain and does not affect distortion that happens earlier in the signal chain.

One user put scotch tape on the mic to mechanically attenuate the sound and reported good results.
[Nexus 4 General] chdloc:
If the the sound system on the nexus 4 is built on top of ALSA, I.e. if the directory /proc/asound exists, then microphone levels can be adjusted in user-space. There is an app (ALSAMixer) available on the market that could be used here.
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
What would be the effect of covering the mic with something to reduce it's sensitivity?
[Nexus 4 General] -Mindroid-:
I'm not sure if that will do it. The textbook audio recording chain goes like this:

microphone -> preamp -> analog-to-digital converter

If I'm not mistaken ALSA(the driver) will take over afterwards. We need a way to control

the hardware gain on the preamp. It's possible that preamp gain is permanently fixed by design.

On the other hand almost all modern preamps have automatic variable gain so it might just be

a matter of figuring out how to turn it on.

EDIT:

ALSAMixer doesn't work at all on my phone (stock 4.2.1 - rooted)

Do you know of any custom kernels for the Nexus4 that use ALSA?

Aside from the ugly look it should work OK. I would suggest using some kind of soft thread fabric.

Wool is one of the best materials for sound absorption but you should try different materials.

The downside is that mechanical methods don't attenuate all frequencies linearly - they work much better

on higher frequencies so you will have to try and see what material works best.

If this works out it would be ideal to open the phone and plug the microphone hole on the inside with the proper material.
[Nexus 4 General] chdloc:
I don't have a Nexus 4, but I do know that the Nexus 7 uses ALSA. Have you checked for /proc/asound? If it exists, then you may need the proper ALSA libraries first.
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
im starting to think LG just used cheap mics to keep cost down. From the buzzing to the sub par recording quality
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
I have my Nexus 4 in a case and thought maybe I could improve the quality by placing a piece of cloth between the case and the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] jutezak:
The specs for the microphone do not look bad either. http://www.knowles.com/search/prods_pdf/SPU0410LR5H.pdf is the spec sheet and it should be working to 116 dB, which is louder than I'd want to be in - though it is only the loud end of rock concerts. Noise also looks okay on the spec sheet, but you cannot expect Schoeps quality of course..

The underwater sounds I'm hearing with the sound recording tool remind me of processing, heavy compression andf such. Not what I heard on my camcorder tests, which had a pleasant sound.

Overload is more likelely to be caused by audio codec settings. A voice call has the mouth close to the mic, that is loud too, and works well. But applications like movie recordings crank up the gain to record sounds further away.
[Nexus 4 General] -Mindroid-:
Nice find! Thank you for sharing!

Microphones in general are almost never bad. It's the preamps and digital processing that add more to the mix.

Regarding the "underwater" sound I now suspect a lack of a Low Pass filter. Check out my other thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36856100&postcount=18
[Nexus 4 General] chdloc:
Human speech can generate 116dB SPL measured at 1-2" distance fairly easily. I just measured the level my speech at 1" distance (with a lab-grade device) and I did not have to shout to produce 116dB SPL. The spec sheet says that the microphone produces about 10% THD typically at 118SPL for a 1kHz tone.

Distortion of the microphone signal is generated (or amplified) in at least four locations:

1. The microphone itself (analog or digital if the microphone is a digital microphone as many MEMS are; the above referenced Knowles mike is analog)

2. The amplifier (analog)

3. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which is spec'ed with a maximum input voltage to generate a signal that hits "digital rail", i.e. 0dB FS (full-scale)

4. digital gain along the digital processing path

Potential "clipping" (i.e. signals producing 0dB FS at the ADC) can only be avoided if the analog amplifier (if there is one) can be controlled. By looking at the ALSA mixer settings for the Nexus 4 my only hope lies in the controls that are labeled "ADCX Volume" where X=[1,6], i.e. numid. I believe -Mindroid- shared his "idle" settings vs. settings during a call and only X={1,3}, i.e. numid={48,50} have changed. Give changing those two parameters a try...
[Nexus 4 General] raz123:
I posted this in a different thread, but thought it would be useful here as well as a potential lead to a workaround:

Looks like the audio chip in question is a Qualcomm WCD9310.

It's used in a few other devices as well (eg: GS3 USA). If their audio runs fine, perhaps we could try running their audio drivers on our device?
