[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
The DAC is perfectly fine. The headphone amp has a very high output impedance (38 Ohm), so you may get frequency shifts with headphones. I have a Galaxy S i9000 with Voodoo sound and IMO, the difference between the DACs is very small (there is a big difference driving headphones directly).

You may have a mixer/equalizer setting somewhere that causes clipping and the metallic sound.

The Cyanogenmod based ROMs should come with DSP Manager. I'm fairly sure the CM10.2 nightlies include it; Slim Bean definitely does.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juliatan:
Thanks for reply's.

I have i9000 too and sometimes use DSP other times I activate Voodoo. With eather one, but also with both turned off the sound of the i9000 is very superior. On the Nexus I have only tried equalizer within music player apps and without. Also I read a lot more complaints about dissappointing audio quality of new Nexus around the web and also on some reviews and included discussions on major tech-sites.

I am plannimg on adding DSP to my rooted Nexus 7 Flo with original bootloader. Topic about adding DSP is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45638957#post45638957 . I also asked a question there concerning keeping OTA-functionality after adding DSP.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] androidfanforever:
Same here, it just doesnt sound as good as my nexus 10 from samsung. Im using earphone audeo 323 something like that. But did u try with poweramp, works for me at least. This is making me less likely to listen to music lol. Getting nexus 5 to replace it for music.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juliatan:
I have tried a lot of music players, PowerAmp Trial included. Not any (or that big) difference in quality compared to different other music players as far I can remember. The user interface is great, but PowerAmp and almost very other music players lack one for me very important feature: samba (smb) support to stream music from my NAS/WDTV Live and Windows Shares.

Found only three musicplayers with very stable smb-stream support: Neutron (trial), XenoAmp and ArmAmp. All the only few other music players with smb were not good enough because of unstable stream or missing features such as lockscreen-support, etc. Neutron and especially XenoAmp are terrible to use concerning their user interface.

ArmAmp is not as fancy as some other music players, but it excels in user friendlyness. Has the for me major important features such as eq and lockscreen-support. And last but not least outstanding quality of smb-streaming from my NAS/WDTV Live. So I bought the ad remover from that app. It streams my music from my Google Drive also perfectly by the way.

(BS Player not so nice interface and misses lockscreen and equalizer (eq) but streams smb great also. Media Players of ES Explorer and Total Commander stream smb-shares also very good but are way too limited in options also).

But I have tried a lot of music players with only local play-support on my Nex7/2. Even too much to mention. They don't fix poor audio quality of device.

A reason to buy PowerAmp by the way might be if stock Android 4.3 had Cifs-support, so you can open all files of NAS/Windows Shares as if they were locally on Android device. Works great on my Galaxy S1 with Slim Bean 4.2.2. Google however broke support for Cifs in recent Android version(s). How I miss that...Looking forward to someone having a solution for that. It makes me even consider a custom rom while one of the major great things of the Nexus is the possibility of OTA-updates.

I already have a android hp touchpad i use for web browsing but i want a hd 16:9 10 inch tablet for watching my tivo hd mpeg2 videos on. It seems to me if i can find a tf101 for around or under $100. This may be a great value for that. Even though ill only be using the tablet to watch my own videos i dont believe there are video playing tablets like the old archos that would be any cheaper and have such a high quality ips screen as the tf101? So when looking on ebay for tf101's do i need ro ask the buyer anything so i know its compasible with android?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Pretty much, make sure it is a TF101 and that it is in good condition/boots.

I would HIGHLY recommend you research rooting it and installing Android 4.2 or Android 4.3 (stock is still on 4.0.3 and probably will be forever). It plays 720p videos perfeclty smoothly with MX Player. The only issue I have had is mkv files with DTS encoded audio. I am not sure about the TiVo files, but I would doubt they have DTS audio in them by default.

Hello... does anybody knows if they're gonna update the app anytime soon?
[Windows Phone 8 General] Localhorst86:
probably not. The app and it's bigger brother "Board Express" seem to have been abandoned. Instead try using the official Tapatalk app from the marketplace and add the XDA Developers forum.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Localhorst86:
Why cry about that? Use Tapatalk (it's way better) which you can get for free. ?
[Windows Phone 8 General] sireangelus:
Yeah, but you Know ive paid For the app, because I,thought that the app was supported and,updated.
[Windows Phone 8 General] thals1992:
What's worst, is that I think I had paid for all 3; the XDA app (back when I got the Trophy), the Board Express app (when I first bought my 928), and the Tapatalk app on day one.:crying:
[Windows Phone 8 General] Localhorst86:
It has, however, been announced from the beginning that the tapatalk app would be free after some initial time. That's why i held out until it became free.

But then again, why did you buy the BoardExpress app when the Lumia 928 came out? The app was broken by then already, it has been unusable for over a year now (even before Windows Phone 8 came along). Why buy an app that does outright not work?

as for the XDA app: What exactly is keeping you from using it? It should still work.
[Windows Phone 8 General] sireangelus:
it's too much slow and it's clear that it needs updating to use the new features of wp8( like, resuming instantly with the back button)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Been a long time Android user but never an owner of a Sony device. Currently I am living in Beijing and within crawling distance to my home is a Sony experience store. I've been playing with the Z1 and love the device. The problem in China is that all Google apps are removed due to China's policy. Personally, a device without google apps shouldn't be an Android device but that's a whole other topic. I have not purchased the device for that sole reason. I'm sure there is some chinese online guide to rooting and getting around that but considering I cannot read Mandarin that does me little good. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfong2007:
If you are trying to find an official way, I don't think you can, because I had the same problem a few days ago apart from that I can read Chinese. You might want to unlock you bootloader and flash a firmware like the Taiwan one which comes with Google apps(Gapps). Apparently, the CN firmware can't really install the Gapps properly (from what I search on the web). But unlocking your bootloader and stuff means you will lose your warranty, so do reconsider carefully before you do so.

If you are planning to do so, there are a lot of information in the android development discussion board, and thats what I used to 'fix' my device. The only hard bit for you might probably be rooting the device, but it's really easy, just one click with the VROOT thing.

One downside is that so far I have seen a few including myself who unlock bootloader on their device resulted in mallfunction camera (camera that doesn't capture photos or record videos) which I now overcame in some sort of trail and error way.

P.S. I don't have any technical background in these areas, so the above are just what I experienced with my phone after searching on the web.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Thanks for the response, much appreciated. Did you flash the Taiwan version or just keep your device stock with the Chinese FW?

And from what I read about flashing the Taiwan FW is that you will lose your camera. That's a lot to lose just to gain gapps. If this was HTC or Samsung I would be able to figure this out without an a problem but Sony uses a whole bunch of different tools that I am not familiar with.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfong2007:
I forgot to mention about that in the previous rely but now I have edited it. In additional, I did flash the TW firmware and the following its how I overcame the camera problem : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45611382&postcount=6

But I do admit it is not a very reliable way to get your camera function back, so consider carefully again...

Also, if you need help on the VROOT thing I guess I can offer you some help. I didn't use the 360 root, because it keeps on telling me my OS isn't Chinese when I tried to install the thing when I am using Chinese OS
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dw1llow:
Easy. Just flash gapp.zip via recovery.

Flashing STOCK rom???

hey guys, I am so wanting to buy Z1 soon (I live in China as well)

I have a question regarding flashing:

IF we have ROOT, cant we just FLASH STOCK firmware (real stock, not custom) from any region on the phone?

That should be WORKABLE right? I want to wait for HK stock firmware FTF, and then flash that over the Chinese one if I got the phone.

This is possibie without unlocking bootloader right? Unlocking BL is mosttly for CUSTOM ROMS, am I right? anyone can confirm?

Thanks guys~~

Often we find ourselves messed up with simple things such as layouts.

So I made this library modifying AOSP code to help put items in a Grid Layout.

You can add this as a library or put it separately into your package since it consists of just a single Java file.

Its pretty simple and extremely easy to use. Just put the items in xml between the following tags:

<tk.eatheat.gridlayout.GridLayout>
....
</tk.eatheat.gridlayout.GridLayout>

By default, it creates a 3x3 grid. To change it just set the number of rows and columns in these lines:

static private final int COLUMNS = 3;
static private final int ROWS = 3;

Here's a sample app made with the library to show the result.

Sample app can be found here.

Library can be found here on my Github here.

I just made some pics with my S110 and they are not that bad when photoshoped a little. So I'm searching something for my device that can do

- resize

- brightness

- contrast

- gamma

- levels

- noise reduction

ATM I use Imageer, is there a better one? I'm missing the noise reduction in Imageer and the pics are pretty noisy so that would be welcome to edit them a little and bring em down to 640x480 before sending by email.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] RAGOv:
it should work on Magician,but anyway try the second option....it's a software called "Idruna Photogenics"...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Private-Cowboy:
I know photogenics but its extremely old and has not been updated in a few years while the newest version from pocket artist is from this september. Not sure how good photogenics still is.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xcilion:
That's about v3.1. I have v3.0 and it works perfectly so. Check out version 3. Its really Photoshop in a portable form.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] harleyxlc:
I use Pocket Artist 3.1 on my JAM with no problems. I do not associate any file types with it though, that may be an issue.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Private-Cowboy:
Tried the new one (version 3.11) yet? That one just came out a few days ago.

By the way, I have Imageer installed atm and if Pocket Artist is good I gonne remove that one. BUT Imageer is the viewer for img files atm and I'd like Pocket Artist to stay out (read that it is a little slow) as a viewer. How do I switch the file types back to album or the included viewer?

Edit: Tried Pocket Artist 3.11 and boy am I impressed. This is THE most powerful img tool for ppc. I'm off to buy that at once. Thanks again for that tip!!! Its not that good as a viewer (the first start is kinda slow) but HTC Album fills in nicely here. This is really the "Photoshop" for PDA.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
You can also modify the registry to enable the "Editor" utility for the built-in Album program. It will allow you to resize, crop, change gamma, brightness, hue and contrast without installing any additional programs. It does not support layers of course!

Registry Modification as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Album/Disable Editor: set it to 0
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Private-Cowboy:
That is nice to know for sure. Thanks for that.

I was searching for an editor that has one important function/filter: reduce grain or reduce noise. And Pocket Artist is the only that offers that filter. Thing is if I take some pics with the cam at xl res and do some level correction, contrast enhancements and grain reduce and then finally resize them to 640x480 they look pretty good for emails. Without the grain/noise reduce they dont look too good at all so that filter is more important than anything else to me when I want to send pics away by email.

I dont need the most function out of Pocket Artist, I only need 4 or 5 after all but the noise reduction is very very important to me and I've not seen a PPC implementation of it besides Pocket Artist. And ancient img editor called Photogenics had that too but the latest version is from 2001 and that is bejond good and evil so Pocket Artist is basically the only choice. Besides the workflow is pretty similar to Photoshop, the filter options for level correction etc. work very much like Photoshop. So if you know how to get things done with Photoshop Pocket Artist is the best there is.

Hello everyone,

I have installed on my HTC Desire the MildWild CM-8.0 JG Stable ROM (link here), and it works very nice except for the GPS, that it's not working at all..

I've googled and searched a lot, and as far as I can see I've found out that it's a common problem, or at least I'm not the only one.. Things I've tried are:

install latest radio: 5.17.05.23 (I took that here)

install AGPS Patch (link here)

install and run these apps: GPS Status, GpsFix, FasterFix

install this GPS Fixation: here

none of these steps worked.. I can't get the GPS working.. I'm a little bit worried right now, I think I'll need to change ROM (but I like this rom so much!)..

Can you please help me? Do you have any other suggestion? Any idea?

Thanks in advance, if you need more info about my HTC or anything else, just ask.

Thanks again

I recently heard about PAC MAN ROM 4.2.2 for Galaxy GT I9100 which is hybrid of different ROMs like Paranoid, CynogenMod etc. I wanted to know how much stable is this ROM in terms of performance and battery life. Additionally, is custom kernel and CWM required to install this ROM or simply flashing the new ROM will do the job? I really am looking forward to installing this ROM in my phone :)

I have rooted S2 GT I 9100 with official 4.1.2, stock recovery and stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
That depends on each user mate. I suggest you read user opinions in the ROM's thread to find out. :)

Like all custom ROMs, PACman ROM requires CWM and root. You don't need a custom kernel per se, but flashing a custom kernel is the best way to get root as well as CWM. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssanjy:
Can you please suggest me a stable custom Kernel that would be comparatively safe for my device GT I9100. I would be quite glad if you would help me with it...:good:

In discussing about the kernel in this thread in post# 619 pg 62 Viper has suggested me with Philz Kernel and FAQs of PacMan ROM, they suggest Dorimax Kernel for my device. So, are these kernel better in performance than the stock kernel or not and does performance of ROM depend upon kernel as well? Since I can backup my ROM and flash new ROM with temporary CWM, I am thinking of using it instead of other custom kernel so as not to mess up with my stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Actually all custom kernels are safe. Just make sure (by reading the instructions) you flash the compatible one.

Philz-kernel for example cannot be used with PAC. Just try the stock kernel. If you don't like it, you can try (for example) Dorimanx kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssanjy:
So if I want to try different ROMs can Dorimanx do the job for me? And since my device is already rooted do I need to unroot first before flashing new kernel which have rooting functionality?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowen2006:
No you don't need to un-root and like her said.......read the instructions and search forums for specific kernals for specific ROMs. I'm not sure but I don't think dorimanx is compatible with ALL ROMs.
