[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukeap69:
AFAIK the USB Audio out is no longer supported natively on 4.4.2. This is the reason I went back to 4.2.2 as I used my G2 as music player and connect to external DAC/amp. USB Audio Player Pro works but you will be limited to using only this app.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaarky:
USB Audio Player don't work for me either :(

BTW, could you please share with us source of information that in KitKat USB audio isn't supported?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukeap69:
It is not kitkat per se. To clarify, my post above meant G2 kitkat. This is based on my own experience. I use my G2 as music transport for my portable music rig. I can use any music player with my G2 in 4.2.2. When I upgraded to kitkat, besides the horrible hissing, I can no longer use USB audio out with any music app except UAPP/UARP. I have tried few stock ROMs out there on 2 G2's.

My friend's HTC One with 4.4.2 supports USB audio out natively. Not sure if HTC had added this feature or LG removed it on G2 kitkat ROM.

My Nexus 7 kitkat also needs UAPP to out audio via USB.

I heard that Samsung Galaxy Note 3 kitkat also supports audio out natively. This has been confirmed on the head-fi forums.

Sorry if I havr not been very clear with my previous post.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhanito:
My Fiio E07K USB DAC working just fine using USB OTG adapter..

I'm using G Pro2 ROM though. But it was working as well on stock KitKat if I remember correctly

dmesg | grep FiiO

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Meanwhile my generic Samsung dock I usually use with my Note 8 doesn't seems to fit with G2.

http://noosy.en.ec21.com/NOOSY_OTG_Docking_Station_with--6291070_8041456.html

I mean, the G2 won't plugged in no matter how I tried. I guess the micro USB connector is different somehow. Not sure. I'm not taking any risk of destroying my G2 USB port, lol.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukeap69:
I haven't tried custom roms yet. It would be good if somebody can verify USB audio out is working with stock kitkat ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuithecat:
Usb dac and lg g2 kitkat stock

I can confirm that after I upgraded from the stock 4.2.2 to stock 4.4.2, usb audio to my external DAC no longer works. I am able to use UAPP though. Mine is a d802 model running D80220A-HKG-xx

I wonder if this is something that can be fixed without using custom roms.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ImmortalU:
Hi all,

Question is whats the differnce between installing a BS ROM and Installing a normal shipped ROM and then deleting the EXT_ROM, using delete_vdisk?

Cheers,

Immortal
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] gnif:
delete_vdisk just removes the shortcuts to "LoadVDisk" in the system startup, thus hiding the extended rom NOT deleting it.

The extended rom is about 19MB and it contains the OEM branding (ie, O2, Orange...) and other small apps.

This area is write protected and unusable for storage.

A BS rom has this area removed completly so you get that extra 19MB for personal storage on top of the standard 7MB. The storage folder becomes 26MB.

Its an excellent way to increase the room on the device, and remove all the extra crap that is installed on the device from factory.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sewing:
Hello guys!

I tried to update the latest nightly on my phone (the last one was from July 2013, so I think it was still CM 10.1) with the CM Installer and rebooted.

Unfortunately I got an error message while in the update screen with the green Android figure and now I am stuck in Philz Touch 4 Recovery menu.

I already tried a factory reset, but I always end up in this recovery menu after restart.

How can I make my phone working again?

I am grateful for any help!

thank you in advance

Hello,

I'm kinda new here, but I have one question. I recently bought an FAKE samsung galaxy s4 for fun. It has costed me 110$ and It has 1GB of RAM etc etc... So the question is, I have Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on my phone. But it's kinda lagging and i dont know why, but i dont care. I'm just curious how to downgrade this version... like 4.0 or something so it wont lag so much?. Thanks for answers in advance...

Peace!
[General Questions and Answers] adam neal:
i think it cant be downgraded coz its a MediaTek hardware. you can just try to slim it down, remove bloat apps using titanium backup and modified it more using gravitybox and xposed. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Rooting and slimming it down will be the best Way, Install a Rom thats older than the first version thephone was sold with could ne quite hard, cause it probably doesn't exist one as long as no one built e.g. Android 4.0 on his own.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] niekas11:
Hello all. I have a problem with Samsung Galaxy S duos not booting after i tried to go back to stock firmware. I was using a custom PMP V6 Rom , but it was experiencing problems with mobile data, so i decided to go back to stock firmware. So i downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobilehttp://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S7562&pcode=SEB flashed it with Odin V3.9. everything went fine apart when my phone restarted it just stuck on Samsung logo screen. Tried to get into recovery, but i can't. Tried to load cwm recovery, but even after odin says it pass, i can't get into recovery. I can get into download mode, so tried flashing firmware again couple of times, once even with pit file, hoping that may help, but no luck. Tried to follow some steps in a guide about such problems, but can't get adb to stay runing, it would start, run for a sec and then close. So now am asking all the clever guys out there for help. Am running Windows7 ultimate X64bit edition.

Solved got adb working by following this, after data,cache wipe, phone successfully booted up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ironchan:
Hi all,

I've been trying to unroot my friends S4 and I keep seeing this warning message. From looking through the forums I'm seeing that if we just re-load a stock image onto the phone this message should go away, but it would seem that every rom I have downloaded is custom.

I have tried multiple stock roms (including the ones from androidrootz and sammobile)

The model is SGH-I337M Canadian phone from Rogers

Any assistance would be great (like maybe where I can find a stock rom image?)

Thanks alot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] thatsupnow:
You tripped Knox, your flash counter is going to be increased regardless of whether or not you flash a stick image back. Yes the stupid little message will go away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] azuziel:
That message will only go away after using ODIN to flash back an official firmware, kernel, and recovery. Then you won't see that anymore, unless you boot into download mode. Warranty bit = 0x1 and kernel bit - 0x1 is tripped forevermore.

You can safely ignore those and run whatever custom recovery and rom you like now tho, too.
[Nook Touch General] rguk:
Forgive me if I have a gross misunderstanding about the hardware in the NST, but in my eyes it should be possible for the Nook to sleep but retain the screen, perhaps with a small banner indicating it's in sleep state and you need to press the 'n' to wake. It just seems silly having the benefit of an e-ink display only for the screensaver to kick it when it sleeps. If it didn't do this, I could (for example) leave a map open in OsmAnd and refer to it still while the Nook is sleeping. The only 'solutions' to this I've found involved plain and simply keeping the Nook awake! A hack I can think of would be to somehow bodge something together to take a screenshot just before the nook sleeps and set it as the screensaver image. Seems silly though... I've had a search around and can't find anything related to this specifically, more either people wanting to keep the nook awake or disable the slide to unlock.

Any thoughts welcome!
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
I had the exact same thought,

so I'm making an app that takes a screenshot every 1:50 minutes and saves it at a screensaver,

to be displayed when the nook goes to sleep.

hopefully it will be ready this weekend so stay tuned
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It should be be simple enough.

Modify /system/framework/android.policy.jar

The class is com.android.internal.policy.impl.LockScreen

What puts up the "screensaver" is updateBackgroundImage()

The layout is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk,

res/layout/keyguard_screen_gossamer_unlock.xml

I'm not sure if changing the layout to transparent and not updating the image should be enough.
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
Oh I wish you would have said that two days ago...

It seems a far better solution than my app, maybe I'll try playing with that later.
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
I tried replacing updateBackgroundImage()

with a stub, but the screensaver still comes up as usual,

Only difference is the "slide to unlock" screen now has black background, so that's what this function is doing.

Time for plan B (or C, really):

If I were to modify framework-res.apk as you suggest, Will I need to resign the whole system, as here?
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
Update -

The function that sets the screensaver is createScreensaver(), in class com.android.server.PowerManagerService, found in /system/framework/services.jar

I modified it to make the screensaver invisible, but unfortunately it also means there's no indication that the nook sleeps.

Anyway, it's better than constantly taking screenshots, so I'll stick with that.
[Nook Touch General] nhedgehog:
How did you do that? I'm using the screenshot sreensaver app for that and I find it very useful. But the above mentioned way seems to be less power consuming. Could you explain it for somebody with very little knowledge about manipulating apk, though I know how to manipulate apk with xdaAutotool.
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
I don't know xdaAutotool, I use apktool but you can probably use whatever tool you like.

First you need a patched /system/framework/services.jar

the one I attached here is for firmware 1.2.1 rooted with NookManager, so it also includes the NookManager patches.

if this is your setup as well, skip to 4

if you run a different firmware or don't want the NookManager patches you will need to patch it yourself

patching /system/framework/services.jar - some vauge instructions:

you will need apktool (or XdaAutotool or whatever) and the android-sdk.

1) use apktool to decompile services.jar

2) modify createScreensaver() in file smali/com/android/server/PowerManagerService.smali according to the attached patch-services.txt

notice - this patch is for firmware 1.2.1 with NookManager patches, it might not be ready for use with other versions - not only the line numbers, also the register v6 might not be a good choice if it is used later in the code without being assigned a new value first.

3) recompile with apktool.

replacing services.jar with patched version - complete instructions:

4) making a full backup before messing with the system is good practice, although the nook is notoriously hard to brick.

you could use NookManager to do the backup.

5) connect to your device with adb

6) apply these commands:

adb push pathced-services.jar /media
adb shell stop
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell cp /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar.backup
adb shell cp /media/pathced-services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell reboot

7) relax, first boot takes a few minutes, this is normal.

with this patch the screensaver is invisible, so there is no indication at all that the device is asleep.

also, there's no magic button to change behavior - if you want to the screensaver back you need to replace services.jar with original version
[Nook Touch General] nhedgehog:
Thanks for that extensive description. I'll try the next days to implement it in my system which differs from yours, since I'm using the custom rom from pinguy1982.
[Nook Touch General] nhedgehog:
Got it.

I compared your PowerManagerService.smali with the one in my services.jar and made the changes.

Recompiled the services.jar.

Exchanged the original classes.dex with the new compiled classes.dex in 7zip.

Signed the jar file.

Had a lot of problems with adb, which didn't recognize my device.

Lost my temper, packed it into a ZIP-file and replaced it via CWM.

Everything is working now. Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] tebra:
Hi [MENTION=2101479]nhedgehog[/MENTION]

I also use the custom rom from pinguy1982.

Can you share your zip file to flash with CWM

Thanks
[Nook Touch General] nhedgehog:
Here you are:

Patch (nivieru's method) via ZIP, tested only with modded ROM from pinguy1982 and installed Nooter-Part1.zip. Install via CWM, to be safe make a backup before you do the patch.

Services-org.zip=original services.jar

Services-patch.zip=patched services.jar
[Nook Touch General] nikolazius:
Hi everyone!

I've patched the jar and now enjoy the last image in sleep mode. But, I'd like to wake app the Nook every few hours, update the page in dolphin and go back sleep. Page in dolphin has a meta refresh. But I can't wake up the Nook on interval. Is it impossible or I missing smth very important on this topic?

If anybody has some experience on topic, please comment.

Update, my solution:

Re-signed the system with personal cert and implemented an app instead of dolphin+web page.

App wakes up every few hours, updates view and throws device to deep sleep. Hope to get an uptime up to 10-15 days.
[Nook Touch General] gsms:
I've done exactly as described in points 4-7 on NST firmware 1.2.1 , rooted with Nook Manager.

I used Root explorer for replacement and rename of patched-services.jar.

After rebooting of NST, it works as intended - the screensaver is unseen, but it appears other problem.

When i click at random .apk, nothing happens, only the screen is flickering once and that's all.

I cannot install apk-s, nor uninstall them....? WTF ?

Someone with explanation...? :eek:
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
Replacing services.jar while the android system is running can cause problems, that's why I suggest doing it through adb after issuing the "stop" command, which stops android while leaving the underlying linux (with adb) running.

You should try that and see if it helps.
[Nook Touch General] gsms:
I will try, but before that another question from me.

Is there a chance the file "patched-services.jar" to be remade as .zip file and installed thru CWM.

If this can be done, i will be glad somebody to share the .zip file, because i think it is more comfortable for installation than using adb shell....

thanks

P.S. Adb don't work correctly for me, so the only available option is obviously flashable .zip file...:(
[Nook Touch General] jptiger:
Has anyone tried this with FW 1.2.2 yet?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
If the original services.jar was patched, it will break NTMM since that relies on patches. But if you can discern what the additional patches are you could patch the 1.2.2 file used in NookManager.

Edit: but if you just want to see how it might work, you can probably use the 1.2.1 jar without any problems. When I first started working on the update to NookManager I used the original 1.2.0 jars that were provided with FW 1.2.2 and saw no evidence of problems. A diff showed very minor changes. Depending on how extensive the patching is for this mod, it might be easier--if you still want the use of NTMM--to patch the file in post #8 for NTMM since the patches are well documented on github. Otherwise you have a lot of diffs to look at and sort out.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finduz:
How does the sound differ on the CM ROM? Just bought this tablet and thinking about returning it.

Coming from a Galaxy Tab 7.7 the sound on this tablet is horrible. It's difficult to hear voices through other sounds,everything is "tinny" and mashed together,

which is a problem as I use the tablet mostly for Youtube and Twitch.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekka-maki:
I know what you mean, audio is horrible with stock and is the primary reason i went 3rd party to confirm whether it was sw or hw in order to decide whether to return it; it's just that bad.

happy to report audio is great in mahdi which is cm based. but i think it can be safely confirmed this is some sort of audio layer LG junk.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokotron:
It's definitely some LG custom audio processing that ruins the sound. It's better in the KitKat official update, tunnely sound is gone but still there's some compression going on that makes many things sound weird and boxy - also some kind of bass enhancement? I can confirm the sound is much more normal in Custom roms.

But now that I installed the stock KitKat update, I'm thinking of trying THIS workaround: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694246

I'll tell you how it goes. I hope not too bad.

lol sorry. It's a mod called "PureAudio 2.0" whick you can flash from a custom recovery and there's a thread in Xda somewhere. I installed it, I noticed some improvent, I didn't install the stupid player the creator tries to shove down your throat (no offense if you're reading this! :))
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamigriffiths:
I use Pure Audio too. I like it. Though I use it with zplayer rather than the creators suggestion.

Here's the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293589
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokotron:
I realised today that PureAudio doesn't do much with LG's audio layer. The lousy stock compression is still there. You can hear what it does mostly when there is some reverb of echo in a sound, like the google now sound right after it registers a voice command/search. It explodes the reverb/echo volume to god. We must find a fix for this without having to install a whole new rom. Someone maybe can detach the CM11 audio thingies and make a flashable zip? :) Research must happen.

I would like to know if I can fix this

[Zooper Widget General] bsballkingben99:
For gmail, you have to add the name of your inbox to the #SUG# tag.

For example, my email inbox for gmail is named Primary. So I would use:

#SUGPrimary#

If you have multiple inbox's you can add them all together into one count like this:

$(#SUGPrimary#+#SUGSocial#+#SUGPromotions#)$

Hope that helps.
