[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BESS667:
The Motorola Droid Razr HD has a good audio quality? And what is the audio chip?

I'm coming from a Galaxy S1 and hiis Wolfson DAC whas just... beatiful, soo thats why i'm asking for the Audio Quality of the Motorola :p
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_mirage:
I like it, but htc has the best audio, they seem to really flaunt their phones with built in amplifiers, and stuff.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickyMax:
I had a HTC One X and this RAZR HD has less bass but the sound is more detailed.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamliner330:
The MAXX does NOT have a Wolfson DAC and there is a noticeable sound degradation because of it.

If you listen to FLAC files and use Audiophile headphones, I do NOT recommend the RAZR HD as a music player. I'd suggest buying a COWON music player (Wolfson DAC) or keeping your Galaxy as a music player.

The RAZR HD is fine for basic car audio or daily use when jogging or whatever...but it is no where near audiophile quality.

I want to buy a sd card but i m not sure which one is better

Lexar SD 256MB 32X Speed (about 70$) or

SanDisk 512MB SD (about 106$)

512 mb looks great choice but the other is high speed ???????????

i need your comments
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
sandisk is not know for it's speed as it is

but very fast SD cards will never reach their top speed

in the xda their sd interface is not fast enough

if you search the forum you'll find some guy who did some tests

think the sd card did 10MB /sec in the sdcard reader on the pc

and only about 1.3 MB /sec in the xda

not all that impressive
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Bruno Rodrigues:
And for the XDAII? Waht is the speed of the port?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
well i forget if it were tests made on the xda1 or 2

but arm 200 which the xda 1 have dont have a nativ interface

for sd so it use an external chip and the xcale 400 that the

xda2 have have a native interface

too bad that nativ interface is WAY slower then the external chips

pda's used to use

there were some posts before xmas about places where the xda it would be way faster then the xda2

but that was in the old forum not sure if those posts are lost now

here is a line from a writing about xscale's performance on ipaq

which i asume would be the same for xda2 unless they added a mem controller and dident use the internal xscale one

Anyone else having issues with WatchOn controlling a Directv dvr? It works with a Hitachi tv and Pioneer receiver, but I can't seem to get the directv box working.

So you had it installed the whole time, you went to the play store (supposedly) and it supposedly said not compatible. It should of said "open" or uninstall If you really checked..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] evilfuel99:
Works fine for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rkennison:
No, the version on the play store was NOT for the s4. It wasn't compatible ( not sure about now, however, i said that a while back and things could have changed by now. ). The version that was already on the phone worked fine as i said already as well. ( where i admitted to being blind and not seeing it already loaded on the phone )

Its like $20 or $30 but Samsung Remote by Touchsquid is nice

They said an update was do out may 15 for portrait orientation but I haven't seen it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidLonghorn:
I later realized that the app just doesn't have the alternate Directv remote code sets that you use if you have more than one box in the same location. Hopefully, they can add those.

IT'S MODDING TIME!

i will show you some examples and what file to edit with these mods

again file names of images may vary depending on theme,

but package name under res/xml are standard on all theme

before you begin modifying, delete Public.xml in res/values folder

remove themed launcher icons

delete these two folders

res/mipmap-hdpi

res/mipmap-xhdpi

remove themed specific apps

for example you don't want my themed keyboard and prefer stock aosp keyboard look

delete the xml of the apps you want to be removed, in our example keyboard which is

com_android_inputmethod_latin.xml in res/xml folder

change background of system and dialer

prepare your custom background (make sure you have the right size as per your screen resolution)

hdpi - 480x800

xhdpi - 640x960

and name it as

contacts_background_dial_holo_dark.png and framework_background_holo_dark.png

and replaced existing backgrounds in res/drawable-nodpi

change notification background

the image for that is system_notification_panel_bg.9.png located in res/drawable-xhdpi

note that this is a .9.png, be careful in editing and preserve the black 1px boarder of it

however you can bypass the image if you want to make it the stock look or pure black look

open com_android_systemui.xml in res/xml

look for the line

<item name="drawable/notification_panel_bg">@drawable/system_notification_panel_bg</item>

you can see that it was redirected to my themed image system_notification_panel_bg.9.png

if you prefer the stock background look, just delete that entire line

if you want it to be pure black, remove the redirection to the custom image and this time redirect it to hex code instead

<item name="drawable/notification_panel_bg">#FF000000</item>

change (non connected to google server) signal back to grey

download HueSilver.apk, rightclick and open archive using 7zip

go to res/drawable-xhdpi (for phone ui only, for tablet ui, go to res/drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi)

drag these icons outside the apk and replaced it on the apk you were modifying

(dragging existing images from the apk is only applicable to .png and not to .9.png)

system_stat_sys_data_connected_1x.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_3g.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_e.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_g.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_h.png

system_stat_sys_data_connected_hp.png

system_stat_sys_signal_1.png

system_stat_sys_signal_2.png

system_stat_sys_signal_3.png

system_stat_sys_signal_4.png

system_stat_sys_wifi_signal_1.png

system_stat_sys_wifi_signal_2.png

system_stat_sys_wifi_signal_3.png

system_stat_sys_wifi_signal_4.png

i will update this post on my free time and depending on users concern

just ask here and i will see if i can answer all areas, sometimes i can't remember what file/png i've changed

ah...never saw that:p....I just extracted apktool.jar from slim code.google...and replaced it with ones from apk multitool and used aapt.exe from apk multitool ...it decompiled fine afterwards :D....now as I look at your screenie and framework-res.apk/res/color/

and res/xml/styles....I see that I need quite a nice amount of time to digest codes...and understand which one belongs where....it's so connected :eek:....but if you maybe know what to do/change to get what i'm up to....that'd be great....i'm fooling around too much I believe.....:p

as far as i know there is no separate apk for system theme

once you have a theme that works well in a rom with theme chooser, then it should work on other roms as well
[Android Themes] kroz:
yes, and what i'm doing is trial and error

that's why my phone was connected in laptop all the time while i'm updating/debugging theme

and yes it takes a lot of time finding the right codes on the area you want to change

inverting an app takes mooooooooooooooooorrrrrrreeeeeeee time, bec there are so many parts to consider and have to be careful not to break other parts as well, and only to find out that it was hard coded in layout :banghead:

layout was not supported by theme engine themes unfortunately
