[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Droidmk has a Slimbean build on his Dev-Host. Haven't tried the new AOKP-based ROMs (Carbon, Dirty Unicorns, Revolt, etc) because I actually don't like their set of options versus CM's set of options, but they may have gotten better performance/battery wise. Super Nexus 4.3 is good. MMS worked on almost everything I've tried, so there's that. Dunno about GPS though, I don't use it.

Edit: Also, don't forget about our 4.2.2 ROMs as well. I know they are old and still have the camera focus issue, but the performance and battery is WAY more worth it than 4.3. At least, to me it is.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I really wanted to try supernexus when I first started flashing. Can you tell me your experience with it? Bugs and all?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Super Nexus 4.2.2 had some MMS issues; some MMS would come in, sometimes they wouldn't. And Super Nexus 4.3 has the nasty SMS bug where texts wouldn't send over 160 chars, and the SMS zip fix didn't work for me.

I edited my post right before you posted so maybe you didn't see what I added, but don't forget about the 4.2.2 ROMs. Despite being old, they perform extremely well aside from the camera bug. :) I wish I could get the same battery life out of 4.3 like I could with 4.2
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Cm 10.2 has the same SMS bug. Its one of those quirks I was talking about in the OP. Hmm...I'll put it on the list. Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
Another option for the not splitting after 160 chars is to just use a 3rd party sms app. I know that go sms has an option that will manually split the text for you
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
You have the bug in CM10.2? Strange, I don't :/

I don't wanna use a 3rd party app, waaaaahhhhhhh lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleyopar2000:
thanks for reading this by the way!

I seem to have a problem using gameCIH on 4.1.2 on my Nexus 7 using SmoothROM on 4.1.2. You see, i've successfully hacked this app that has not been hacked yet, but the app I would like to remain nameless to avoid the exploit being fixed before further updates are issued out which would make releasing the exploit more worthwhile. This hack uses GAMECIH 3.0 LITE works fine on my samsung Galaxy S3 with CleanROM on 4.1.2. using SuperSU 1.41.

By searching a specific "name" in "input name" I can edit a value which can defeat the subscription purpose. But on my Nexus 7. Which has 4.1.2. The SAME superSU app and version. It still says 0 found. I've literally copied everything that my Galaxy SIII had and mirrored it to my Nexus. And STILL i have issues...does anyone have a suggestion?

I have a tomtom bluetooth gps receiver that I used to use with my xda-ii for my satnav solution. I had a car charger that charged the xda and tomtom unit at once. I have now upgraded to the Exec and am hoping to find a similar car charger but couldnt find any on google/ebay - does anybody know of one that exists?

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] page3:
Cannot be of help, but looking for the exact same solution. I had an iMate JAM and a cradle that charged that (mini-USB) and had an output for TomTom Bluetooth. If all else fails I could try taking apart the adapter because it has the correct output, just the Exec won't fit in it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
assuming the TOMTOM gps receiver uses a round 5V center positive connector to charge it ( which it almost certainly would do )

To get round the problem of daisy chaining mounts and receivers, I got a great car charger - dual usb adapter from eBay (I searched for "dual usb car") which gives you 2 usb sockets for about £8 all in. Having bought this though, I'm thinking of installing a spare cigarette lighter socket behind the dash to power it from and cut down on cables in the cabin...

Universal charger- special

The Universal as well as the Typhoon, Wizard etc. need special wiring for the mini USB. when connecting to the computer the the driver is activating the proper pins in the Mini USB socket and you can see the "charge" light on. However when connecting to a USB Poer Supply, pins need to be manipulated (some to ground or perhaps to Vcc). I'v looked into this issue many times (searching in the Internet) and could not find a proper wiring diagram. although I know for sure that they are exist as there are some Car working chargers offered for Universal / Typhoon.

In any case refering to this thread, a car charger that works for Jam/XDA2Mini most probably will not work for the Jasjar/Universal unless i is apecified as a Universal car charger.

If any of the memebers has come a cross a wiring diagram for Typhoon / Universal charging scheme it is appreciated if you could provide details.. as many of us would like to build their own car charging units.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
Re: Universal charger- special

Dude, what are you talking about !! I use the sync lead from my kodak camera to charge my JJ from my laptop it works fine but is slow (my laptop hasnt got much umph) and the same goes for the PSP power lead I mentioned earlier, I use that in the car with my cradle that happens to have USB sockets in it, (pictured in another thread)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dubi:
It seems that either your usb lead has the proper connection to fit the requirements of the JJ or I am doing something wrong that I am not aware of.

Here is the test: Just take a Powered USB Hub, connect XDA1, XDA2, XDA Mini, XDA2S (all the models that I could test right now) and It seems that the Powered USB Hub can charge these devices.

Now connect the JJ (I suggest with a traditional USB syc cable that comes with either ..) and NADA I got no indication for charging .. than connect the HUB to the your computer which has the ASYNC installed and you see that immidiatly the JJ is being charged. Both feeding measured at 5.15V.

The Typhoon behaves the same for me as well.

Further more, I have few USB chargers (other than the one equipped with the JJ) which is in fact a PS with a USB port . The result of connecting the PS through the traditional sync cable is "No Charging".

The same applied to many Car USB charger that I'v tried.

Perhaps your Kodak sync cable is special (in fact I am looking for the schematic diagram of a cable like this)?.

I tried (just now again) also with Dopod 828 and it seem the same (no charging unless it is connected to the computer).

Please double check your charger cable and try th sync cable that comes with the JJ.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
I dont see why kodak would have used a special sync lead, because on the kodaks it is used for data only (power comes in via a diffrent connector) when I get a chance I will buzz out the cable for you !!!

PS I think you shold plug it in and wait, mine starts charging instantaneously when used with the mains adaptor which has 1 Amp of current available, but takes a min or two to start charging when I am using my laptop/in car charger, both of which only have 500mA available.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dubi:
Car Charge

From reading other threads, Pin 4 in the Mini USB is shorted to ground and that's probably turn on charging ..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dubi:
I suggest that you read threads about the power charge / car charge in other forums... here is an example I took and although it talks about the Typhoon it is relevant to JJ as well and it suggest to connect pin 4 and 5 to ground. I can't have a good explanation why your JJ starts to charge after 2 monutes. I suspect that it has nothing to do with the current that can b drawn from the PS.

Here's what I've found on modaco.com forums, posted by richwookie on Oct.4 2004:

QUOTE >>>

...I've hacked open my C500 mains charger (quick, where's the superglue), and sure enough there are only 2 wires leaving the box to the mini USB cable, GND (black wire) and VO (white wire). However, after very careful probing, with a very tiny probe no less, I've established that the GND wire is connected to both pins 4 and 5 of the mini USB connector.

Now usually pin 4 would be not connected to anything as pin 5 is normally GND. So next I probed the C500 data cable to see if pins 4 and five of the mini USB were connected together. They weren't of course.

So what does all this mean?

Well, from what I've discovered I conclude that the C500 will only charge if:

1) There is data on the line (even if it isn't saying anything :wink: )

OR

2) Pin 4 of the mini USB plug is grounded.

So what's the solution to making the generic car chargers work?

Do nothing to the car charger. Mod the data cable so that pin 4 at the 'mini' end is connected to ground.

This IS all speculation and I suspect that it is easier said than done. I haven't yet hacked open my data cable, but I expect there are only four wires in it, and the only way to ground pin 4 (mini end) is to somehow bridge them at the connector. I think that is beyond my soldering skills (have you seen the size of the contacts on the plug?!) but I may give it a go anyway.

Anyone else want to try? Let us know here.

<<< UNQUOTE

... and the 2 hours later:

QUOTE >>>

Posted from my SmartPhone while it is charging in my car using a 1.49 cigarette lighter USB adaptor and my newly modded C500 data cable!

I'll let you know if it still works as a data cable when I get home. ;-)

....

Modded cable doesn't work for data now.

When I connect it to the PC it just charges. I suspect that when the phone is in 'charge from adaptor mode' it inhibits the data lines.

<<< UNQUOTE

Well, I guess it's simpler to mod a USB cable, than either carry around a charger, or install Activesync everywhere.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] stickeresq:
With all this chat about modifying pins etc call me naieve but why not just buy a dedicated charger from expansys or an o2 store ? both cost between £10 - £15

:shock:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] red_hog:
Just an observation I have made... I have an O2 EXEC, and charge it quite happily (sort of) with the Standard USB Synch cable and a Car Lighter Socket USB thingy.

The only thing is... It will NOT charge if the EXEC is on (screen lit up) when the USB lead is connected or power connected. Switch the device off, connect the lead, and the charging light comes on.

I find the same when I connect it to the computer with the Synch lead too. It won't connect to ActiveSync or Charge if the EXEC is on when connected.

Hope this helps.

[Moto X Q&A] nonotechnology:
Is anyone else aware of the TERRIBLE streaming quality via Bluetooth? the mids get crushed and sound terrible when I connect my X to my car. Did some research and found a fix for the GNex here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184333

I tried to apply it to the X but it turns out there's no bluetooth-default.so in the system/lib/hw folder ... only a2dp.default.so

I replace just a2dp.default.so with the 'fixed' ones from that thread and then my phone wouldn't hold a connection to the car (Gmusic kept telling me "cannot play requested stream") and when I toggle off/disconnect from bluetooth my phone would reboot.

anyone got ideas for a fix?

there is a directory called bluez-plugin and inside that there's an audio.so and a bluetooth-health.so but I dare not mess with them hehe.
[Moto X Q&A] mandrsn1:
I haven't noticed poor quality streaming at all... I have used it a lot.
[Moto X Q&A] djp952:
The Moto X doesn't use the AOSP bluedroid stack, they stuck with Blue-Z stack so it doesn't have the same problems, and you can't apply the same fix (as you discovered).

My experience has been 100% positive with Bluetooth audio on this device, it sounds just as good as the fixed AOSP bluedroid stack does to my ears on all my BT receivers. I don't know for certain but it's pretty likely that the Blue-Z stack Motorola used is newer than the last one we saw in AOSP (Android 4.1) and there is probably an incompatibilty with your car if it really sounds that bad.

Before you guys jump all over me and call me an idiot ... I happen to be the guy that came up with that particular fix for the AOSP bluedroid stack in the first place :silly: (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632#c151) <--- woot! I'm this guy! LOL, whatever, I know. What the fix essentially did was set the bitpool (like a buffer) to the recommended size for high quality audio, but modern Blue-Z implementations didn't suffer from the same problem. It was introduced with AOSP Android 4.2 and persists in AOSP Android 4.3.

Do you have any other A2DP receivers to test against at your disposal? I've used my VZW Moto X against a Rocketfish Receiver (http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/home-theater/RF-BTR212.html), an HDMX Jam (http://www.hmdxaudio.com/jam-classic-wireless-bluetooth-speaker.html) and most recently a Bose Soundlink Mini (http://www.bose.com/controller?url=...s/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_mini/index.jsp) -- playing as I write this post -- it honestly sounds just as good as my fixed Fascinate and my fixed Galaxy Nexus did, perhaps even slightly better!

Moto X A2DP = djp952 certified! :victory:
[Moto X Q&A] dpw2atox:
I have the same issue with poor sound quality when I stream music to my 2013 Subaru Legacy stereo. The problem seems to be that the sound is overly compressed and when a lot is going on it becomes especially noticeable. Part of the issue revolves around devices that don't support the newer APT-X codec, if the device supports that codec the sound is said to be fine however any device that uses straight A2DP will experience this issue.
[Moto X Q&A] mandrsn1:
I have had the same experience as you. I have tried my Moto X with about 10 different bluetooth receivers. I have had nothing but excellent sound quality.
[Moto X Q&A] hyatari:

[Moto X Q&A] hyatari:
Moto x doesn't sound good on any BT device I have but none of them support apt-x which the moto x does? I know the rocketfish you mentioned has apt-x but not sure about the other 2. If they do maybe that's the difference in sound quality?
[Moto X Q&A] djp952:
I'm not sure either :( It's a good bet the Bose one does since its brand new. Seems like a pretty good theory!

I think I still have a really really old Scosche receiver kicking around somewhere I can try for you guys and compare it with an AOSP bluedroid-based phone.
[Moto X Q&A] hyatari:
http://www.csr.com/gogroove-bluesync-portable-bluetooth-speaker

Forgot to test on that which does have apt-x though I don't think it specifies in the manufacture or amazon site but that's the actual apt-x website. Can confirm that it definitely sounds better than my other devices.

Some Test Info if it helps

I have the same audio quality issue with my VZW Moto X, constant crackling noises, but I only experience it with one bluetooth receiver (of the ones I have available to test). Unfortunately, it's the only one I have built into my primary vehicle, so it's extremely frustrating. I don't have any data that indicates what these products support in terms of codecs, but here is some info if it is of any use in diagnosing the problem:

Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS - Works Great for BT-Audio and Pandora Mode

Satechi Soundfly View - Works Great

iSimple Connect ISHD651 installed in a 2008 Honda Accord - Worked Great with my Droid Inc 2, but horrible crackling with my Moto X.

I don't see any indication that states that deck supports apt-x. I read on the android bug report page that one user running 4.4 claims they've finally fixed this issue so I guess we wait for 4.4 now.
[Moto X Q&A] seh6183:
The deck does NOT have to support apt-x in order to sound good. The moto x is the best sounding bluetooth device I have ever connected to my deck, and my deck for sure doesn't have apt-x. I am so up tight about sound quality that i've always used a cable to connect my devices. The moto x is the first device I have used where I no longer need the cable and have thrown it in my closet somewhere.
