[MENTION=3433424]Tuborg68[/MENTION]: i tried communicating with Sony about the SW2, through their forum, multiple tweets, but am not getting any replies

it's anyone's guess when the next update (if any) will be released

that's the advantage of google wear, skins aren't allowed, which means manufacturers can easily update their watch when google releases a new version

and it'll attract a lot more developers
[Sony Smartwatch] joaofsantosj:
15 years ago, when Bluetooth headsets become more affordable, using one seems so strange that some friends of me start calling me the nickname Cyborg everytime we meet. Today with the popularization of the technology nothing is strange and even less stupid.

If someone like to have the latest technology couldn't care about what others might think or say, like in other areas of life.

I have a SW2 and have the same doubt when when Android Wear were introduced last week. But SW2 is more easy to work with notifications because you can chose the extension apps that you want to install to get notifications, you can also get notifications from message app or Hangouts app if you choose too, or you can also answer calls on your phone or BT because you have a Sony handset, i'm planning to by a Sony handset just to use this feature.

And when the Android Wear SW become diverse from different brands and with more languages i will think in bought one.
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
Can anyone reccomend a place/store to buy this smartwatch, I checked at bestbuy and it costs 200 dollars over there while in my country (Belgium) it's just 130 euros is there any shop in America where this watch has a similar price?
[Sony Smartwatch] kill_dano:
Get it used on ebay. I see them selling for $70-$80. One advantage of having Sony's Smartwatch is that Sony is a household name, so people will see this watch at Best buy and just get it as a gift for people, and the giftee ends up not being really interested in smartwatches, so he/she sells. Their loss our gain.
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
im going to cape cod tomorrow and i looked at bestbuy and it said it was available in lots of stores there but then i pressed on add to card and the website was like: nah just kidding we cant ship it anymore to that store. and that was for all the stores there ;/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galiem:
Hi guys,

That's my first tread on xda.

The question is "Would someone do Android L potring??" Obviusly on our GT-i9300.

I'm not telling that i want a porting now but i'm afraid that this device will die after the 5.0 update.

So you good developers would you do the android 5.0 porting For us?

Bye. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Android L is still not yet fully developed by Google and thus it is a developer preview and is not suitable to be a daily driver rom. Maybe try asking after Google release Android L as an official update.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
well ports are already happening for some devices(n7 2k12 for instance)

but i doubt it will for s3, in fact i doubt we will even receive L (unofficialy)

it tooks months to get fully hw support in Kk thanks to closed source drivers

it took almost a year to fully fix the áudio driver (this one we already have a open source version of it)

and so on. also we are running 4.1+ on a "hacky" way (4.1 was meant for 3.1+ kernel, we have 3.0.101)

yet still, because of drivers we can´t achieve full speed(animations are quite bad) on custom roms, and thats with roms with same version as of Samsung).

but if we get, will be in october when the full release comes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
The Android L preview image is not complete and is intended for devs for Nexus devices. A lot of things are missing.

We will have to wait till later this year for a port (if someone does it).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyaran:
Hi,

After searching much through out the forum, I'm still unable to restore my phone.

I had Android Revolution HD 53.0 ROM installed and wanted to upgrade it to version 71.1.

At the end of the installation, something failed and the phone is now stuck in either recovery mode (red triangle with exclamation mark) or I can boot it in fastboot.

I have wiped most partitions, re-installed the recovery partition, but I'm always unable to boot the cell properly.

I think I need to re-install stock rom, but I have tried and I always get an error about when verifying the zip file.

my cid is TELUS001 and my version-main is 1.29.661.17

hboot is 1.44

<edit> forgot to add that the cell is S-ON, I can't get it to s-off, adb always return device not found </edit>

I'm pretty much at lost with what I can do, I hope I haven't bricked my phone :eek:

Can one of you help me fix it.

Thanks a lot,

Xyaran
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyaran:
Update: have installed twrp, but still stuck

Like the title says, I was able to install twrp recovery, but I'm still stuck. fastboot works, but adb doesn't and my pc doesn't recognize the phone.

I don't know how to copy a rom to the phone so I can use it.

Help would be very welcome!

Xyaran
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
are you trying adb while in TWRP ?

what version of twrp ? 2.6.3.3 ? anything else is wrong

hboot 1.44 is the easiest to get s-off ..try harder ..try rumrunner

start over from scratch

install this driver when your in TWRP if ADB still fails

http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe

you may have to unplug the phone and plug it back in once

If you hboot 1.44 and on windows 8.1 fastboot would not work aether ... fun huh ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyaran:
Solved

Hi,

Thanks a lot clsA. I was using the wrong version of TWRP.

I also uninstalled HTC Sync and with both those changes, I was able to sideload a ROM.

My phone is now back, thanks again.

[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
AS OF NOW, THIS IS UNSUPPORTED, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER DEVELOPMENT FEEL FREE TO, MAKE SURE CREDIT IS GIVEN TO ME AND IXNYNE. EDITING THE FILES WITH A TEXT EDITOR WORKS BEST. HAVE FUN!!! EMAIL ME @ WILLIAM.ROTSAERT@GMAIL.COM

Hey everybody, I just made some Headphone volume boost scripts, all are tested and work, though some may damage your hardware.(Continue reading)

These are flashable zip files that will work on any recovery.

They range in digital volume from 62-68 for now. And range from 19-20 in digital volume. (63/19 only)

They are safe to flash for the most part, but values above 65 for digital volume MAY damage hardware.

How to install:

Download and flash in CWM, TWRP, or Philz

Downloads: Below

-Slight boost, choose 62/20, 63/19, 63/20, or 64/20

-Medium boost, choose 65/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.

-High boost, choose 66/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.

-Experimental Extreme boost, choose 67/20 or 68/20- use with caution! May damage hardware.

I would recommend 63/19 for iPhone like sound. Or 64/20 for loud sound, without distortion.

Aosp earpiece boost and stock earpiece was removed, they didn't work correctly, use new earpiece and Bluetooth boost!

Remember:

I am not responsible if your phone explodes, creates a nuclear weapon, makes your ears bleed, or if it stops working.

If you say I broke your phone, I will laugh at you. Please advise! :p

Bugs: None reported... Yet.

Please tell me if anything is wrong!

Thanks,

willi_3609

P.S. this is working best on KK Roms. And new Earpiece and Bluetooth boost are out!!!

Thanks to iXNyNe for the base files!
[G2 Android Development] TyJones916:
Thank you for making this. I found it to be very helpful.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I added a link to your thread in my op
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Empty, space save.

I'll post small fixes here!

1. If you have a problem, tell me what model and ROM you are running. Plus the mod you flashed.

2. Please be polite!
[G2 Android Development] tholmes8291:
Can you do the same for handset speaker? Thanks
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Yes. soon

I will add them soon, I am testing different values.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I believe the handset speaker uses rx1 so using the headphone zip should also set the handset volume.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
It uses rx7

Just put them up, they use rx7 not rx1, I wish it were that easy, I've been trying to find a way to boost the earpiece volume, for making calls. Its hard.
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
your the best dude..
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Thanks, don't forget to hit the thanks button.

Good to know people like the vol boost!
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
was looking for this a long time ago.. i flashed 2 files yesterday from some1 who posted other volume boosts as well but having a more wide option available is amazing....
[G2 Android Development] nayak.aj:
If i an not mistaken , we can flash multiple files one after the other, correct ?

example.. i want to boost Head phone and speaker .. so flash Headphone6520.zip followed by Speaker66.zip ? or would Speaker66.zip overwrite Headphone.zip changes ?

As i understand it both files just modify Mixer_paths.Xml, so multiple flashes would just be overwriting the same file?

Thanks for the mod !
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
You can use both.

It just modifies them, you can flash both speaker and headphone, no need to wipe anything either!
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Can anybody test somethibg out for me.

I need somebody with an AOSP based ROM to test my Earpiece zip. That would be great, ui need to know if it works on the D80x models

It should boost earpiece volume as that is the only lower value, but I would be thankful to have someone test it and report back to me. Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] hallowman:
[MENTION=5677602]willi_3609[/MENTION] Thanks for this..

i ve flashed some of them.. it works fine with cable headphone but bluetooth headphone is not as loud as cable headphones..

Would be much better if bluetooth headphones could sound like same as cable headphones
[G2 Android Development] khanjui:
Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
its been posted a lot of time, bluetooth headphone volume is digital. cant be changed

question: when i already have a volume mod flashed then i flash another kernel, the volume mod flashed will dissappear right? so need to flash the boost again..? ?
[G2 Android Development] hallowman:
Answer: Its actually not about kernel.. But yes. It can help..

I ve tried many rome and mods .. Its definitely changeable.. Last time i ve tried sony walkman on my g2 (cloudy g3 rom) was the best sound with bluetooth.. It was as loud as cable..

but cloudy's rom wasn't good enough.. (heating) therefor i had to change it..

So one thing i m sure is bluetooth sounds can be changed..
[G2 Android Development] frontlyna:
Cm integration

Hey OP can you look at possibly getting this working with cm11. I know there are other mods that say they help with those volume issues but I've yet to find one that gives stock like or close to stock results. Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
it already works.

This works with all Roms, cm, aosp, stock, everything.

It just edits a file already present in the Roms.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
as of now, no, I may label this as deprecated soon, my support as of now is limited as I no longer have my G2, my battery expanded due to a freak power outage accident. Integrated voltage protection didn't save me this time.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
you can simply reflash your rom, or find a mixer_paths file that is the original to your rom and place it in its designated folder.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
It seems to be linked to the overall digital volume which means boosting the earpiece will inadvertently lead to something else being messed with.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
obviously I'm late, but I would try to refresh your rom, backup your data, and refresh system, you probably already figure something out. Sorry
[G2 Android Development] tenssa:
thanks very much for this script, it's really great for me because i have probmlem with hearing, but headphone volume is too loud even for me after flashing Headphone6520.zip

is it enough to just edit hphl and hphr volume (in mixer_paths.xml file) to 17 or 18 instead of 20 to decrease headphone volume?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Yes, you may just edit the file and lower the digital to 60 and the hphl and hphr values to 17 or 18. make sure the file is saved as 0644 or r-w-r-r in the permissions area if you use root browser and its built in text-editor. reboot after.

i would make a backup of your system before doing this though, as it may cause bootloops if you mess up the formatting or the permissions were set incorrectly
[G2 Android Development] tenssa:
thank you very much, i did it and work like charm, change values in file then set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot and voila...of course first i did backup...

also...volume level stay same even after factory reset
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
AFAIK

The Bluetooth volume can't be changed, I've tried all of the different digital volumes, and none of them affect BT.

So I'm not sure, for now, try using viper4android, change ui mode to expert. Scroll all the way down and put the gain at 6dB
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
no.

If you don't wipe the system, there is no need to reflash.
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
tnx bro..
[G2 Android Development] 1heffer:
Would it be possible to boost the microphone volume? I feel like I always have to shout when on a call. Calls on speaker are fine.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
I can try...

I can try to make a mix boost, but no promises, it also may take a while.
[G2 Android Development] 1heffer:
Cool thanks! I actually pulled the back cover off and drilled out the microphone hole to about double size. It helped slightly, but not completely.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
I tried and... no luck.

I couldn't boost the mic, can't find the values for it anywhere. You might have to use a kernel like dorimanx.

Sorry about that.
[G2 Android Development] 1heffer:
Does dorimanx have some option to tweak that would help? Checking it out now.....
[G2 Android Development] Cobjones:
Okay I was sceptical on what this did, but it completely removed the bass distortion I had before.

Thanks

BTW 63/19
[G2 Android Development] jamiepotter:
LG G3

Wonder if this mod will work on my LG G3 :confused:
[G2 Android Development] Lycosa:
Will it boost the volume of my car speakers? if I use AUX cable that connects my LG G2 to the car?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
it might... do me a favor.

Go to system/etc using root browser(if you can) and open

Mixer paths as a text file and open it using rb text editor( included with root browser)

Check to see if there are rx1 and rx2 digital volume parts.

For the speaker boost, check to see if there is rx7 digital volume..

It should have it. I'm running cloudyg3, but I just wanna make sure.

If you too it. Please report to me, maybe you could test.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
yep

It will boost anything that plugs into the headphone jack.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
No problem!
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
BTW some root explorers text editors don't save the newline returns in the correct format which causes boot loops.

I recommend using fx file explorer by nextapp.

I literally created the original mod using nothing but the text editor and archive (zip) creator in fx, no computer or anything.

I believe many people reported boot loop issues trying to modify the mixer file using es file manager or solid explorer.

I think this is because of the newline characters being encoded wrong, like only using \n when it needs \r\n. This isn't something that you can fix unless your text editor has a preference to change how it saves new lines.

Tl;Dr

Don't modify the mixer unless you're doing it with fx file explorer
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
I just meant to check it, not change it...

I just meant for him to attempt to check what the digital volumes were called.

Not edit them. I know it causes bootloops.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
New boost out!!! BT and Earpiece for KK Roms.

Test it out guys.

First earpiece and BT for stock based Roms, this one won't work correctly on AOSP or CM.
[G2 Android Development] geogaddi47:
Thanks for this mod. Will EarpieceAOSPboost.zip work on CM11? Also, is a bluetooth boost planned for CM like the one recently released for stock based roms?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Actually... could you try out my latest earpiece+Bluetooth boost?

Can you try the latest earpiece and Bluetooth volume boost for me, my friend tried it today and it seems to work, so if you could test for me also that would be great.
[G2 Android Development] izmenar:
KK

i just checked mixer path and rx7 is 84 , so lower value is higher volume ?
[G2 Android Development] buski:
thanks for Speaker66.zip its exacltly what my cloudy g3 needed :good:
[G2 Android Development] Colnart:
i have viper4android mod but i like to keep the headphone and i want to boost only the phone's speaker volume, so does that mean i just need to flash the speaker zip while disable the speaker mod in viper4anroid ?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
You can just flash the speaker.zip.

There is no need to disable viper4android, it makes it even louder, you can add gain control and make it sound better, I recommend lowering 250hz, 500hz, and 1khz down by 3db to get better, less distorted sound.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Higher volume is louder, but...

It seems many Roms say rx7 is 84, but its not true, I guess its a bug or some kind of change, but, to be safe, make a nandroid of your /system, then flash one of the speaker zips to make sure, but it should work nonetheless. They are supposed to be reporting 60 or so on stock.
[G2 Android Development] bad_HABIT:
So I did not make a backup and wish to revert.

The MOD is working great but unfortunately I think it is causing issues with my Loop Fob (looppay.com).

When I plug the FOB into the headphone jack I get a please disable equalizers, etc error.

So my question is, since I did not make a backup, will a factory reset be enough in order get rid of this mod? Or do I need to re-flash my ROM etc?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Flash your ROM. Factory reset will not revert.

If you are able to flash without wiping data you don't have to factory reset at all. But some ROMs (usually stock based ROMs) will do a factory reset during the process of flashing the ROM itself.
[G2 Android Development] pete022682:
This is excellent thanks bro
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
this is right.

One thing I always do is keep a current backup, so I can just restore system or data, depending on what I screw up.
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
i will give you a hint.

<path name="speaker-and-headphones-in-call">

<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="0" />

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="11" />

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="11" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="52" />

<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="52" />

<ctl name="RX7 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />

RX1 Digital Volume is the handset speaker.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Thanks, I made a louder boost for job and kk g2 Roms.

Thanks!

Got it.

Just made a new boost and I will post it up soon!
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
i have tried to hook it in kernel, but so far no change on gain,

i will keep looking how it's called in kernel.

there are 50 different controls, but only 6 of them really used for LG...

any way test if that do any change before post :)
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Alright...

I made a boost for only 60, based off my earpiece and Bluetooth one and it is very quiet, almost inaudible.

So now I know it works fine, I also made an 80 boost and it is LOUD, much like my old galaxy nexus, it had a really loud earpiece.

So, it does work, but I was wondering if you could test it out or somebody else could test it out on jb, or stock KitKat, (not G3 port)
[G2 Android Development] osmosizzz:
I'll try it. I tried earpiece and Bluetooth 75 and there was no change on my end. Earpiece is really low on kitkat.
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
OK, great, I'll put up a post with the link to it tonight, in maybe 3 hours, but I'm busy right now.

any boost for speaker and headset for aosp based?
[G2 Android Development] BLueBLaze100:
Thanks bro, speaker 66 worked gr8.

I might try headphones6319 but I don't know how to revert to stock vol if I wanted to !

Which file that I should keep a backup of before flashing?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
You shouldn't need to revert it, but the closest to stock is 6220.

Keep a backup of the mixer_paths.XML file in system/etc
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
All of them

Any of them will work, it is compatible with all ROMs.
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
not working on aosp. i flashed files but the volume of the speaker just turned down so low..
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Which one?

Which speaker zip did you flash.
[G2 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
these 2

Headphone6319.zip - [Click for QR Code] (2.3 KB, 298 views)

File Type: zip	Speaker65.zip - [Click for QR Code] (2.2 KB, 377 views)
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Oh OK.

That shouldn't lower the sound, but I'll make a 84 boost, which is the stock in aosp I guess.

Edit: its up now
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Sorry for the delay.

Its up.
[G2 Android Development] geogaddi47:
Is Earpiece+Bluetooth80.zip louder than Earpiece+Bluetooth75.zip?
[G2 Android Development] mav744:
yes
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Higher number=louder
[G2 Android Development] izmenar:
so RX1 is for the speaker not RX7 ? the earpiece is not included in the above list ?
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
No

Rx7 is speaker, earpiece is rx1, dependent on what script, it will change certain things as many Roms have duplicate showings of the same setting in the mixer_paths.xml

on slimkat

Hi Guys

just wondering if anyone tried this on AOSP especially slimkat ? i was checking current values in mixer paths and they are already above defaults quoted in the OP . I see 83 for head phones volume for example. so installing this mod will actually decrease right ?

I still find volumes are low and found this thread in my searches. Thanks for any advise.

BTW i use viper4android , does it modify this XML as well ?

Device: G2 D802 on slimkat v7
[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Well, just try 6520, and if you need to revert use the stockaosp zip I posted. It goes to 84, but that's close enough.
