[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Rooting and ROMing are two different things. You don't need root to flash a ROM, just an unlocked bootloader. That said, we probably won't see many ROMs at all for the X, if any.

But agreed on Greenify and adblockers, but also Titanium Backup, Autostarts, Root Explorer, and others that escape me right now.

Edit: Forgot the biggest reason of them all- CF.Lumen! Use it to adjust the color temperature to fix the godawful yellowish whites that plague the X's screen. I'm using it on KitKat but I'd imagine it would be even more beneficial to use on Lollipop because of all the white. Seriously, it's the greatest app ever (for the X) and makes a MASSIVE difference.

Thank you!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seco2004:
I root basically because of Titanium Backup, gives full control of what shows in my app drawer (I like having it as clean as possible). Some of the Google apps I don't use like Newstand, Books and Movies can't be disabled, so they keep showing in the app drawer and with TB I can freeze them. Also root for the file manager app X-Plore, which gives full access to the root directory.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
Hi there quick questionif anyone can help I'd be so so grateful.

1:So I know a lot of this is subjective, but I'm in the very fortunate position of having an HTC One M8 and the Mate 7. I like them probably equally in terms of all of the things I have access to now, but I'm someone who is on Android for control and support (from XDA!)

I've noticed there's very very little about the Mat e7 on XDA, and Huawei in general to be honest. is this because they're still relatively new? Would it be fair to expect new roms/kernels lollipop etc to eventually come to this device? Or is the mate 7 a far more niche and limited device, and I'd be better off with my HTC in that respect? (For example, it feels like developers rush to make things work for popular devices, eg when the HTC M9 comes out Cyanogenmod, Carbon Rom etc will all be working on a veri=sion for that straight away, but the Mate 7 might not get that kind of attention?)

I'm very happy with the M8, it's just the fingerprint scanner and mega battery life are lovely on the Mate 7. I suppose basically the question is, is this a phone I can put my faith in enough to sell my HTC? I've barely even heard of Huawei :s If someone is either able to reassure me OR tell me I've got plenty to be worried about, either would be fantastic! :D

And maybe if anyone is able to comment on which phone they would choose, that might help me even more!

Cheers :D
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince_junior:
For dev support, you can always rely on big names as samsung, lg, sony, motorola and htc. What you said is true -- there is little to no dev attention to the likes of huawei, lenovo, etc.

That said, I came from samsung tab and samsung note 2. The dev support was overwhelming. I flashed differnt custom rom every week just for the fun and thrill of using something new. But I got tired too.

Then I got the lenovo vibe z2 pro-- a relatively new monster of a phone too! But it does not even have a separate thread here in xda, and I could not even get a phone case locally! Lucke enough, my brother got my vibe z2 pro coz he loves the aluminum build so much and he will just continue to pay for it.

I have been eyeing the mate 7 since it was announced. Loved the unibody design, the humongous battery and the fastest fingerscanner in android! So when it was launched in the philippines about 2 weeks ago, I preordered and was the first owner officilaly in thr philippines! Thats how excited I am!

I was looking to have the silver color though, but only the gold one was released locally. Also the silver one is the 16gb/2gb combo. So for the future, its nice to get the 32gb/3gb combo.

I think it is somewhat guaranteed that the mate 7 would receive the loliipop update considering its the new flagship of huawei. I just dont know when.

Do I miss my old note? You bet I am! Inspite of touchwiz being bloated, there is so much you can do with it! Plus the spen has a while wide use and functionality I have never found in any phone!

For now, I am contented with my mate 7, unlocked and unrooted. I guess its the thrill of using something new. And for its many features, its definitely value for you rmoney.

OK. So comparing this to

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-best-audio-mod-nexus-5-fosseperme-t2621736

It's like a massively loud version of that. Too increased. The speakers can't handle it. It gets too distorted. At the max volume. Near the middle is where it sounds at max without distortion. A bit past it is where the phone starts to sound different. :p

In other words, still nice. ;)

Just keep the volume low, lol.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fairyshacker:
will it work on 4.4.2 ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Agreed with [MENTION=4368019]Curiousn00b[/MENTION] 100%. The front speaker can't handle high volume. About 1/4, maybe 1/3 volume is its limit before getting distorted. After that it's just really badly distorted. No disrespect to the person who made the mod, I really like the idea. I might keep it though. Depends. I usually have an AUX cord or headphones plugged in, so it isn't an issue. If I find myself having to turn up the volume for things like random videos I watch online, I'll revert. Otherwise I'll keep it. Thanks for sharing.

Disclaimer: Do not leave music playing on your front speaker with the volume on high. I was worried mine was going to blow after about 5 seconds on max. Then again I tested with Damian Marley & Skrillex, so...

With dual mono you'll have the same sound from both speakers.

With stereo you'll have true left-right channels in each of them.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chdloc:
For a proper implementation, quite a bit of audio HAL modifications (modeled after the Nexus 6p which has stereo speakers) would be required to get dynamic/adaptive channel swap to work.

Intrigued by the challenge, however, I hacked together a proof-of-concept Tasker project (which utilizes two external binaries) that is able to perform the channel swap. Currently the project has quite some impact on battery as it needs to periodically check logcat for information updates (screen status and audio playback device). I'll likely won't pursue this any further, but I'd be happy to post the Tasker project (or the exported app) should there be any interest.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dante63:
According to the device specs, it's snapdragon, I have a Samsung Snapdragon which I am trying to figure out the lines to enable the earpiece... would tinymix help in identifying the earpiece without me editing the mixer files and rebooting multiple time...?

Highly Appreciate your effort...

Also, someone upload the original mixer files please...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chdloc:
Most often, the device setting up the earpiece is the one called "handset" in mixer_paths.xml and the main speaker is typically referred to as "speaker". On devices that do not have a separate speaker DAC/amp you simply need to consolidate the the "handset" and "speaker" device. It is significantly more complicated to set up dual speaker on devices that have a separate speaker DAC/amp, but it is certainly possible as I showed here for the OG Pixel devices.

Generally, you can use logcat to find the appropriate audio device applied to a given use case. To do that run

logcat | grep audio_hw_primary

while you are using the device under investigation.

Final official mixer_paths.xml for the Nexus 5 (Marshmallow) attached.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dante63:
Thank you very much for replying...

According to my case removing the lines inside "deep-buffer-playback speaker"

Disabled the sound,

I found the "handset" I copied the lines inside handset into above, nothing happened...

I went to the "speaker" itself and added the lines there but again nothing...

I have done many Exynos devices but never snapdragon...

As snapdragon has many mixer_paths but uses one only...?

So basically that logcat, do it while playing music...?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chdloc:
What you did was not quite correct. Generally, you leave the backend-frontend (BE to FE) definitions (like the "deep-buffer {...}") alone and only modify the actual device definitions, such as "handset" and "speaker". From the mixer files I've seen so far the actual device definitions start with the "adc1" path names. Before that you will see the default values on top, followed by the BE to FE definitions.

Post the mixer file you want to modify and I'll walk you through it.
