HK mod => no large mp3 decoding

Hello !

I have made a mistake and I want to ask you if anyone has faced that also ...

I have stock android, but freshly updated via OTA to 4.4.4, sense 6.0, S-Off and full root access.

My problem is that I have flashed HK-V6-with-ADSP-4.4.3-Based-ROM, edited the "default.xml" from /system/customize/AAC/ to enable HK mod but that generates an error on larger mp3 files (more than 30-40seconds): there is no sound.

How can I fix it ? Is there an "undo" operation besides system restore, which is not possible since I haven`t made an backup ... stupid me!! :( ?

Thank you !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You need to flash the newest ADSP. You reverted when you flashed the mod and went back to 4.4.3. I would link you, but I'm sitting at a pub on my phone. Just search for it. It's easy to find, and is actually on a post on the HK thread.

I'm not positive it'll work, but I'd give it a shot if I were you. No reason to have the old adsp.img
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachriss_13:
I have managed to get back to stock boom-sound with the help of "hk_disable_v3.zip" from the HK discontinued thread.

I will try to flash the newest ADSP to see if it works.

Thank you

When the last adsp came out (international 4.4.4) someone on this thread extracted it and made it into a flashable zip.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Just leave it in the zip, remove everything else but the android-info.txt, and fastboot flash it like any other firmware zip.

Also, for the people having FLAC issues, I believe you need libmedia.so and libstagefright.so from HK. At least that's what got it working for me.

Flashed H&K mod, now my htc one m8 is stuck "starting apps"

First I have the newest version of ViperOne ROM. I booted in recovery, used twrp to flash zip file from the thread, cleared dalvk and cache etc. When this was done I rebooted the phone, it optimized apps, then got stuck on starting apps for almost an hour. Any advice on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I have a issue that may or may not be related to this mod.

A few weeks ago, my Apple EarPods with mic was fully working (except volume buttons of course), but now the mic is not. When I try to call or record a file with the headphone plugged in, it just recorded noise. But my friend bought a new M8 and my headphone is perfectly working including the mic. I'm not sure whether this problem is related to flashing this mod or something to do with ADSP.

Your H/K Mod is fantastic by the way:D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
So I'm looking for a PDF reader, but I have fairly specific requests. Firstly, it must support annotation (fairly easy to find) Next, it must support bluetooth keyboard arrow keys for turning to next page (surprisingly much harder to find). Last but not least (perhaps more important?), I'd love if it were possible to set different view modes depending on the orientation of the PDF. I use my tablet for university lecture notes, some of which are Powerpoints converted to PDFs, meaning each page is a slide and is landscape. For these, I like full page view, the whole slide on screen at once, go to next page for next slide. Others are portrait pages of notes, which are impossible to read in full page view as it is so zoomed out (7" tab), and so I use continuous for those PDFs. It is annoying to have to change it pretty much every time I open a PDF, seeing as it almost always seems to be in the wrong mode. Ideally, it could also take into account the orientation of the tablet (e.g. full page view when tablet & PDF orientation match, continuous when they don't), but at the very least I really want it to take the PDF orientation into account.

So far I have tried Adobe Reader, ezPDF, Foxit, qPDF, SmartQ Reader, QuickOffice PDF and SmartOffice PDF. Currently I'm using SmartOffice, as it seems to be the only one which does full page view & supports bluetooth keyboard, but it's annotation features are extremely basic, and it's no good for portrait PDFs. (I'd rather use one app for all PDFs so I can set it as my default and not get bothered by prompts everytime I open a PDF).

If anyone has any suggestions (preferably with at least a free trial), I'd appreciate it.

i have a question about the sdcard issues that seem to have arisen since KitKat 4.4.2 came out. i have a samsung galaxy s5 (sm-g900f) and it's running KitKat 4.4.2 and i cant seem to be able to access my sdcard when i install it into my phone. i've checked a multitude of different websites trying to figure out how to fix this problem. iv'e installed SDFix, and about 4 other apps that are supposed to edit the platform.xml file but they have failed to work. after i run the apps on my phone it tells me that the file already contains the required changes and nothing will be done. but when i insert my sdcard the phone constantly tells me that it is blank or has an unsupported file system. i've also tried editing the platform.xml file manually adding in the <group gid="media_r" /> line under the appropriate location but this doesnt seem to work either. is there some other fix that i can try to gain access to my sdcard. it's a bit frustrating that i only have 16GB of internal space and everything from app installations to updates and contacts seems to be stored on this little space. i know my sdcard work fine because i've used it on 3 other phones and it is accessable & i've also used 2 other sdcards which work fine on other phones as well. someone tell me what im missing PLZ cuz 16GB internal storage is KILLING ME SLOWLY.

In the US, tmobile some how knows what device you have. when i check my service info on the internet it tells me that i own a wizard (tmobile MDA in US) but i then switch the sim to a differerent phone and it then tells me that i have that phone. to download stuff from tmobile u have to have a regular phone because they dont have content for the wizard. so if i could change the id of the wizard or maybe emulate a defferent id i can then download stuff.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
Very interesting indeed. AFAIK, the telco is able to get the IMEI of your phone. So, if they were to have a database of all the phone, then probably they can tell what phone you are using by refering to the database.

Or else, try using a cheap old phone to see if they can detect it, thats to make sure that not the high tech phone that is transmitting the 'signal' to the telco for identification.

Your definetly right about being able to detect the type of phone. About 5 or 6 years ago we did a bit of development at work based around getting information to remote users via thier mobile. We had a gateway provided by Nokia that we tested which detected the type of phone and it's browser capability and subsequently redirected to the best suited format (WAP, Internet etc).

I think you mean changing the "user agent" string ?

That usualy shows what kind of computer + os + browser that you are using

If you use IE then you have to change settings it in the registry

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\

I think the "Default" key in there is the most important.

Here is a short list of "user agent" strings : http://webcab.de/wapua.htm

you can check your current "user agent" on sites like this : http://www.schroepl.net/cgi-bin/http_trace.pl

Although its a bit messy on the tiny screen of a pda.

some more info found on wiki xda developers :

Change the 'user agent' identification of PIE

To change the 'user agent' identification of Pocket Internet Explorer, several fields need to be adjusted. The example shows how to identify as Internet Explorer 6 - desktop version

The standard compliance 'user-agent' string:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\(Default) = "Mozilla/4.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Defaults to "Mozilla/2.0" The application/version string:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Version = "MSIE 6.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Defaults to "MSIE 4.01" The host operating system string:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Platform = "Windows NT 5.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Defaults to "Windows CE" Please note that if you change the Platform string, PDA-friendly sites may stop sending you PDA-friendly content automatically. Leave this string set to "Windows CE" unless a site absolutely refuses to work, or you want the site to feed you its normal content.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] d0ug:
What T-Mobile USA is doing is most likely based on IMEI. I see 2 ways that they are doing this. 1) They have a database of IMEI's from all of their "branded phones" that they have sold and their corresponding device models. 2) The IMEI contains manufacturer and model info, just as the VIN on a car contains info on the year, make, model, engine, and country of origin. I am thinking more along the lines of option 1 because I have an unbranded QTEK 9100 on the T-Mobile USA network, and the website is unable to determine what phone I am using.

EDIT:

Actually I just logged into T-Mobile's site, and they are now correctly detecting my phone. So the IMEI most definately contains model info just as the VIN on a car. Here is what I am talking about for those of you that dont have T-Mobile USA

Thanks for repliying to this and at first i was thinking that you needed to change the imei but i think ill try changing the user agent because this seems like what i was looking for more then how tmobile was knowing what cell i was using but good to know. hope it works

Hello

I just rooted my D620r with PurpleDrake.

Beside installing supersu,xposed and G2 TweaksBox I didn't do anything.

Still , I got this signal issue when sometimes after changing something in Tweaksbox , and rebooting , I lose signal and the phone doesn't detect my sim.

The only way i can repair this is by removing battery and pressing power button a few seconds , then booting up.

Does anyone have any idea why this problem persists every time i reboot ?
