[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
i had the M8 (and now have the N6) and, in my opinion, M8 boomsound produces higher-quality sound (clearer). not only for music, but for the basic tones that i use for email, text messages, etc. the same tones on the N6 sound distorted and tinny; ended up switching to other tones that sounded better on the N6. conversely, YouTube and WatchESPN videos (e.g., college football games) sounded good with little to no distortion. (that was surprising to me.) i also believe that in-call quality (loudness and clarity) is better on the M8. to my ears, N6 in-call sound is noticeably lower compared to the M8. (this of course is a subjective opinion :)). wish i knew how to adjust sound output/values in the mixer_path.xml file. i also use V4A, but only when listening to music with in-ear headphones. definitely makes music i listen to sound better at lower volumes. hope this feedback is helpful to the OP (and others).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danish2980:
All feedback is is extremely useful! Your feedback is less positive, but my decision is made.. I need the development that comes with a nexus and it's still dual speakers ☺
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
I think the speakers are very good, but not quite as good as the HTC M8. The last 2 steps at the top of the volume slider produce a weird piercing noise that hurts my ears. I'm thinking it might be an issue in the software or driver. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the speakers.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danish2980:
Let's hope it gets fixed.. Glad to hear that you like the speakers ☺
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moostafa29:
I had a M8 a few months ago, and agree 100% with what you said. Boomsound is much better than the N6's speakers. I played around with Viper on my M8, but thought it sounded better stock through the speakers on that phone. I'm trying to experiment with Viper on the N6 now in hopes that I can get it to a Boomsound quality level.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moostafa29:
Viper didn't really help much. Speakers sound a little better, but it still doesn't come close to the boomsound on the M8.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcanela1:
I have tested against the nexus 9 which had boomsound, and I find the nexus 6 speakers to be louder and overall more enjoyable. Thev nexus 9 speakers with boom sound are a disappointment and don't deliver imo, I was surprised by the speakers on the Nexus 6.

With that being said I have vbarely used my headphones with the Nexus 6 and that is one of the first things i show off along side the screen.

150317 SpiritF (Spirit2 Free) Open Source Real FM Radio for AOSP+Root

APK: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3215671&d=1426618705

Source code: https://github.com/mikereidis/spirit2_free

Discussion (this thread closed): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

Hi, :)

I am happy to announce "SpiritF / Spirit2 Free: Open Source Real FM Radio for AOSP & Root".

I have taken the essential features of my commercial Spirit2 FM app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.a2d.s2

And I've open sourced it GPLv3 AFFERO.

The APK app file can be freely redistributed on custom Android ROMs that are available to the general public. Please credit me.

If you are including it in a ROM, at this time it requires the usual /data/data/fm.a2d.sf/ directory that normally installed apps have.

==============================================================================================================================================================================

From README_OPENSOURCE_BUILDING.txt:

Spirit is my full time job, but I'm sorry to say I still make less than half of my corporate salaries, and work about twice the hours, for the last almost 4 years, from early 2011.

I appreciate the financial support of people buying my apps, Spirit2: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.a2d.s2 and the older Spirit1: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock

I am also happy to accept Paypal "donations" to my mikereidis@gmail.com address : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=mikereidis%40gmail%2ecom&lc=CA&item_name=Spirit%20FM%20%2d%20Mike%20Reid&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted

The commercial Spirit2 has many features that are not in this Spirit2 Free app. As time goes by, I will move some paid features to the free version. The closer I can get to a "normal" salary, the more willing I will be to do so.

Thanks ! :)

Mike Reid.

Hello from currently cold and snowy Canada, :)

See the build_spirit2_free bash script to build from Linux. Edit the first few lines for your environment.

Besides the Android ant build for the Java code, the Android NDK is needed. I'm using android-ndk-r10, the r10b release gave me some problems so I reverted.

Please forgive all the usual transgressions; this code, like all real world code, has plenty of flaws and "character".

Be thankful it's not the steaming pile that Spirit1 became, originating when I first learned Java, and suffering from almost 4 years

of rapid development, and a maze of exceptions for handling hundreds of phones, ROMs, android versions, etc, etc, LOL.

Real life coding, trying to solve real problems of people, often requires compromise, and hasty and messy coding is one such.

I've been developing, and building electronics and computer equipment since I became a teen in the mid 1970's, on the first microprocessors, before even assemblers,

hacking "machine language" in binary, hex, or even octal on the front panel switches of the PDP-11/05 I built a Unibus display peripheral for....

Anyway, I haven't really done any open source before. At this time I'm just dumping the code, or "throwing it over the wall", as Google is said to do with AOSP.

So I'm not going to setup on Git or whatever immediately, since I'm not experienced with it much. We will see....

Feel free to share any thoughs to mikereidis@gmail.com or in my "Spirit FM" XDA forum: http://xdaforums.com/apps/spirit-fm

[Spirit FM] vrwmiaris1:
Subscribed,bro. I'm using your spirit 1 on my s2 and the spirit 2 on my brand new g2 int.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
:)

Does Spirit1 work better on your S2 ? I am curious why you aren't running Spirit2 on it.

If it was stock and unrooted, Spirit1 would be the only option, besides Samsung's stock FM app.
[Spirit FM] vrwmiaris1:
yeah mike coz on spirit 2 you dont have an exit button and it keeps running on backround and draining my baterry,ohhh btw mike i didnt tried yet but can i stream wireless through my bt with spirit 2 on my g2?i ve a mw600 :p
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
In Spirit2, If you switch FM off (or just start it switching off, since it completes in the background, unlike Spirit1),

Then hit the Back key, it should be just as dead as Spirit1. If not, that's a bug I will fix.

You don't even have to use the UI. Just start and stop from the Spirit2 widget on a home-screen.

I even send commands from adb shell, remotely, to change frequency, start, stop, pause etc.

Spirit2 does FM over BT on pretty much any phone it works on. But stock Samsungs require the wired headset/antenna to be pulled out.

I have an MW1 and it worked with every phone I've run Spirit2 on. I haven't tested Bluetooth at all since the Spirit2 re-design, but the worst problem would likely be the Samsung headset pull issue.

Basically, since Spirit2 makes all FM audio digital, it should act just like media players, which allows effects/EQ, visualizations and sending the audio to any supportable output, maybe even TVs, Chromecasts and external DACs.

I'm charging my MW1 for testing now...

Hi,

Working fine on my LBL SP.

Fast, smooth, and what a ROM should be.

Just a few things you might be able to help me with.

Charge light never goes out at 100%, stays green all the time.

Any way to change that?

Getting "Optimising Applications" at every reboot.

I've cleared Dalvik and rebooted, but it keeps happening.

What can I check?

Thanks for a great ROM.

EK
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00243:
The charge light is standard sony, I do not know of anyway to change that at present

However I can look into this and if I find anything I will report back.

Your optimising on every boot issue is caused by Gapps - remove it and reinstall another version

I had to change the link on my thread to reflect a better version that resolved this issue some users were experiencing

thanks for the valued feedback

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00243:
Yes you can use it every day and please find attached the extra files you need to make it work in the Italian language

You need to drag and drop the attached files in these locations

system/tts/lang_pico/

system/usr/xperia_keyboard_dictionaries/

(DO NOT delete any files already in these locations in the Rom)

(The attached is NOT a flashable zip)

Please ignore any DS_store files in the .zip - I work on a mac and these are hidden storage mac specific system files - you DO NOT need these

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00243:
It is english by default as I removed all other languages packs that effect the keyboard and dictionaries, the first boot menu will default to showing a list of ALL languages....

The keyboard and dictionary will only function in English unless you apply the files I supplied above this will give you FULL Italian as well as english!

For google sync to work you need to install Gapps mentioned in the second post in the main thread

Hi,

Many thanks for your hard work, neil

I don't like CPU Frills, i prefer Performance Control for LBL( there's already MP Decision) and many other things you can control: GPU, RAM management, you can freeze some applications,...., it's more complete.

BTW, can i uninstall, the "new"applications you wrote in the OP (V3)? Because i never use NFC, update SONY, etc, etc.

Regards

I can't use MP decision with performance control, so i really have to use CPU frills?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00243:
YES you can uninstall, the "new"applications" listed in (V3)

If you want to use "performance controller" app just rename MPDecision.old to MPDecision in system/bin and reboot

That will reinstate Sony stock settings and allow you to use the "performance controller" app fully, hopefully!

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Extract the stock kernel from the Rom and flash it with flashtool

reboot into recovery and clear the dalvik cache

let the mobile get to 10% battery and then turn if off and put it on charge

when completely charged turn and and enjoy

If you are still getting issues you may need to factory wipe and wipe caches then install the ROM again

If you find after restoring DATA from a backup you have the same issues over again the backup is probably to blame
