[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
this won't work as phone suport DTS NOT DOLBY !
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
Works great with me beside DTS

Dolpy files will install In system/etc
[Ascend Mate 7 General] TheLoneWolf20:
Works fine with me.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
so it will replace dts? or do you turn dts off
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
No need to turn DTS works with dolpy app fine

DTS has system files with separated folder
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
Also install viper4andoid v2 from Google play.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
so what is the advantage of dolby ? DTS suppose too be better quality
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
the dolby app can make you speaker much louder and your headphone too
[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
I use mx player to boost loudness .. but increasing loudness too high you will end up with distorted crackling sound and blowing up speaker

if i install it over custom recovery .. how do i uninstall it if i dont like it ?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] academicbarzo:
Most threads here and across the 'net seem obsessed (probably correctly) with the Z3+ thermal issues. I cannot find any real analysis of the sound quality, either via headphones or BT.

I have three broad questions:

1. What is the impact of the new automatic headphone calibration system? Does it do anything useful?

2. How is the BT performance with apt-x headphones?

3. Anyone used LDAC with Sony headphones? If so, does it work well and does it sound demonstrably different with hires files?

I'm asking all these questions as I've recently 'upgraded' from a Z3 Compact to a LG G4. Found the sound quality from the Z3C pretty good, though had the occasional BT connection glitch. Not too fond so far of the LG G4's audio, and BT seems to have a weird issue with performance - a digital 'haze' when also connected with a Smartwatch. Just wanted to know what the Z3+ is like in audio terms, as I have only a few days left with my carrier to swap phones, and Z3+ is all I'm realistically considered. Not a fan of Samsung phones at all, and a removable SD card is key for me, so that rules out the S6 anyway.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderIII:
Now I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the word, but I do like my music to sound good.

That said, I can tell you that the apt-x headphones I used with my Z4 (Panasonic Backbeat Pro) sound absolutely amazing.

I have not given LDAC a try, but I know very little about it. It is for FLAC files over wireless, right?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] academicbarzo:
Its for HiRes fies, not just FLAC. Anything recorded beyond CD quality. Thanks for the comments.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
I'm a bit of an audiophile, but only when it comes to music production (metal music in particular).

That being said, the sound quality through headphones is amazing. I've been using either the Bose Noise Comfort 15, and the Quadbeats that my LG G4 came with, and I must say - I love the sound quality when ClearAudio+ is enabled.

The only downside to the audio aspect of the Z3+ is the fact that the speakers are horribly low. At their highest volume, they're not loud, and the phone vibrates a lot because of the sound. It's clear, but just very quiet. I'd be a bit hesitant with raising the max volume via root (not sure if that can be accomplished with this phone, but I did it with my G3) because the phone really does shake a lot.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danprs:
I can only comment on the headphone output of the phone, I do not use speakerphone for anything but the occasional call and YT video. I wouldn't expect them to be anything decent, though I've found them to be adequate for my use. I'm coming from a Moto X (2013) for reference.

I'm no expert so take as you will. My brief listening experience with the phone has all been done with these suckers:

[IMG="Alclair Referance"]http://i.imgur.com/E86MAAl.jpg[/IMG]

Those are Alclair Reference CIEMs. Yea, they're badass. No, I do not have an amp between them and the phone, they are wired directly.

I've played 320kbps MP3s and Flac files. They all sound good, I notice no difference between this and the Moto X. I did however notice a slight difference when I enabled the Xperia smart sound (I think that's what it was called), it made the image stage a bit wider. Otherwise I found the sound to be as accurate as my previous phone, though I attribute that mostly to the headphones.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
Is anyone working on a wm6 with touchfiles integrated? Maybe with in.ex touchflo? is that possible for p4350? I have installed wm6 (asergs way) on mine, and I put in some of the touch files, like commanager, home, audiomanager and so on (cant get the dialer tough, if i put that in the screen gets mixed up, and I did put it in the main storage, not the storage card)'

I put the wizard touchrom in a friends g4 qtek9100, and it works like hell...But I envy the touchflo...and the other cool stuff there :)

Or maybe I should try cook one myself???
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionei:
There are many threads about how to unlock and root but things get old much fast, I feel like FAQ is too old to follow.

I prefer ask before make same thing wrong.

I have a Moto G 4g with lollipop locked and orginal, so I decide to put new thing now because same things are annoying me in the phone, I think xposed can help me well, so I only need unlock and put root, but need to know the last way to do this, I know unlock is easy but what recovery to flash and how? What I need to root? Is there same problem with xposed in lollipop?

I did come from Razer D3 mediatek, had not unlocked bootloader but was easy to root and te best way to custom was with xposed, so im more "acquainted" with this.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny993:
any help on this would be appreciated.

Please someone answers!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teet1:
If your phone is not retail and your carrier locked your bootloader, it's not currently possible to unlock the bootloader or permanently root it. You can only temproot it currently.

If you want to flash a recovery your bootloader must be unlocked. You cannot flash anything with a locked bootloader. But if you wish to know, you can use TWRP or CWM for peregrine phones.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feral Walrus:
Hello,

I was thinking of following the Dexteroid guide to flash my Telus Moto E 2015 to android 5.1 as I would like the additional performance as I have no idea when Telus will get around to authorizing the 5.1 OTA update.

Before I go through the hassle of rooting and unlocking the boot loader (which correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I have to go both those things to get the stock 5.1), I was just wondering if anyone has tried flashing the retail US firmware to a Canadian phone and if they have experienced any issues. The hardware SKU on my phone is XT1527.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsotech:
I recently updated my g870a to the latest and not-so-greatest build.

I didn't like the way it felt, and being the way I am, I tried to do things myself.

So I downloaded Odin and tried to flash the previous update (4.4.4), but I pulled a stupid and soft-bricked it after flashing it. I decided to be stubborn and I fiddled around with the recovery boot and probably screwed it over even more.

Can anybody please help me out? I Would like to get my phone back in working order :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciuffy:
Just a little bit of troubleshooting to check the situation, see if this can help.

Where did you get the firmware to downgrade it? What Odin version are you using? Was the flashing successfull? Do you have a custom recovery?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsotech:

Odin was 3.07. Firmware source, No idea, I've been on too many websites to remember. Flashing was successful, but after reboot it "died" (what I described before). What do you mean custom recovery?

[XDA Assist] parrotperson:
Good evening all.

A friend of mine has just obtained her first smart phone, and went for the Core Prime.

Everything seems to be working on it, apart from one thing, we cannot get her emails to sync when connected to wifi.

if she is connected to 4G, 3G, GSM etc. this is fine, but as soon as she is within wifi range it stops syncing. :confused::confused:

I myself have had S2, and S4, and know the ins and outs of Samsungs pretty well, but this is one issue I have never come across myself and I cannot figure out.

her internet itself when connected to wifi works fine, so its not that. its just the emails for some reason.

which is a bit frustrating when the phone was purchased for business use and she has 5 different email addresses coming through to it.

anyone had this issue? know how to resolve this issue?

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Jonnyn93:
So I'm trying to get my mums Oppo Find 7 back to 1.2.5i she updated to their latest beta and is experiencing issues.

The official recovery wont accept the Oppo .zip files anymore and just says failed everytime I try to update it to an older version. Tried with V2.0.0 and 1.2.5. It will sometimes let me flash the zip file of the version its currently running.

I've tried numerous recovery versions and nothing works.

The only solution I can think of is if I flash the entire system via cmd, like fastboot flash - boot,system,logo,radio. That type of thing, the issue is that I dont know where to find those files.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] dadoohan:
Was the unified partition enabled ?

If yes, you need to disable it before to downgrade.

If no, have you tried a custom recovery to flash the rom ? If you own a R63419 LCD (latest find 7 models have this model) you need one of this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3201414&d=1425886324 - for the x9076 (international Find 7).

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojwem19:
So I've just tried to return my nexus 9 to stock ( previosly been using some cm12 based ROM ) and I have followed this http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153/page5 . The only thing i've changed was a stock recovery to TWRP recovery. After doing everything i have selected to "reboot" on my nexus 9 and now it is in some kind of weired bootloop. First i see google logo. Then i see TWRP. Then i see this ( managed to take a picture of it with phone casue it lasts for like 2 secs. )http://imgur.com/dnHFnEG And it goes on and on and on again. lucikly it is still connected to my PC each time it goes with this procces a i can hear a sound of device being dissconnected and reconnected again. Please give me some advice how to fix it

EDIT: When it goes to TWRP it gets recognized as Androide ADB interface by my PC.

EDIT 2: Okay i've managed to get my enxus 9 into fastboot mode by holding vol down + power button for 10 secs while bootlooping. But my PC does not detect my nexus 9 ( Luckilly it says "Device state: UNLOCKED" ). Any ideas?

EDIT 3: Entered TWRP recovery. Still not being detected by my PC at all. It says that my internal storage is ( 0 mb) but if i go slightly backward I can see all of those folders like boot. cache. root . etc. dev. system. vendor. Help please

EDIT 4: I've just discovered that if i select "Factory reset" in HBOOT I get to the point where i've started so i get this screen from twrp and so on. the only difrence is that i no longer can hear a sound of my nexus 9 being recognised casue it isnt.

EDIT LAST ONE I PROMISE. Okay managed to get it back to stock using laptop.

I realize firewater is discounted on the website but does anyone by chance still have the temproot file. I managed to find the firewater part. I need to get my boot loader unlocked again.

firewater 8.0.6.3 and temproot.

[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
If you are s-off, flash an ruu zip of twrp and then gain root and manually run Scotty's unlock command for s-off phones or just flash the recovery flashable zip he made.

Sunshine - $25

End of headaches and failed attempts.

Most people will spend hours and days trying to find a free method, which in my mind, the time spent trying is worth more to me then the measly 25 dollars.

My suggestion, just pay for it and be done with it.

It's fast and simple to use and proven to work without jumping through 100 hoops.
[HTC Droid DNA] droiderisuser:
Hey thanks for the help. I have downloaded sunshine. It says I passed the test but then says I have to be rooted before it can work.

Maybe Towelroot or Kingroot will work for temp root, not sure.

I don't recall needing temp root when I used Sunshine.

For Verizon models below 5.0, the temp root method they have should work.

I tried Kingroot temproot but that only half worked. It fools things into thinking I have root for a second and then eventually my phone restarts. It does not however fool sunshine.
[SuperSU] gauthamraob:
I downgraded my Xperia M2 dual d2302 to 4.3 and rooted with towelroot and then flash 4.4.4 followed by flashtool force towelroot using super su. This would uninstall super su on my phone and install its own super su binaries and busybox content. The super su pro would however, remain installed. So, I would have to redownload the super su and as soon as i would open it, it would ask for binary update and then ask for reboot. I would just follow the prompt without question. As soon as it reboots,though the root would be there but sd card and system rewriteable will be gone and there is no way to make my system rewriteable without flashtool reflashing back to 4.3 and following the long procedure. I till now, would blame kitkat and sony for that. This continued for over 8 days till I realised that the real culprit was not sony or kitkat but super su binary update followed by reboot. This is highly anoying. What is the point of root if system or sd card writing is not allowed? For now, I am living with super su by canceling the binary update everytime I open it. I have OCD and I find it highly annoying. I tried searching for an option to cancel auto search for updates bur in vain. My phone works just fine without update. I need no updates and need a way to stop super su asking for update everytime. Please suggest me something.

I have now discovered that even if I cancel binary updates, supersu auto updates causing the same problem. So, now I have decided to live without Supersu as supersu is not needed for root. I have an unlimited root access for all my apps which have root permission now and to add icing to the cake, my bootloader is locked. If anyone else is searching for a way to make Sony Xperia M2 dual 4.4.4 system writebale without unlocking bootloader, just follow:

LOCKED BOOTLOADER

1. Downgrade to JB, Root your Phone using Towel Root in Jelly Bean

2. Update via OTA to KK 4.4.2 or KK 4.4.4 whatever you need (4.4.4 is recommended)

3. In this process, don't try to install or uninstall anything

4. Wait for booting finish

5. Install latest SuperSU from Play Store

6. Open Flashtool in PC

7. Connect your phone to PC

8. Now flashtool will describe your phone information, then click Root Tab in top, after that choose force root by TowelRoot

And after this, do not install supersu or any other root control app. Just let your phone be as such without updating binaries or anything and you will have root. You will have unrestricted root on Xperia M2 dual, Enjoy and remember not to install supersu, kingsu, cm superuser or any similar app.
[SuperSU] NeoLogY:
I was thinking to help you, but then i was worried if something else goes wrong, then you will blame me, just like you blame super su.
[SuperSU] gauthamraob:
Yeah I'm sure of that. Just a note for you: I already have root. Super Su is not needed for root. It only controls which app gets access to root. The only problem without super su is that there is less safety as any app can get root without restrictions. I just want super su to be polite and less invasive by learning to live with whatever it gets rather than forcing itself on us. If I don't want binary updaye, super su has no business updating on its own. I just want a way to stop super su from updating binaries and I don't think you can help unless you can patch the app which I doubt
[SuperSU] NeoLogY:
I think you are misunderstand about the binary thing, supersu need to update the binary so it will work properly, its not like updating app on playstore, binary is the root system itself i believe.

Help me out on this one, afaik, root access need atleast 1 superuser app to allow and control the root access for any root app. Any root app will need to request for granted the root at least once ti get the root access.

So tell me, how do you manage to have rooted device without any root management app such supersu@kinguser@cm supersu?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

BTW, tell us what do you need on your device that will make you feel better. (About the superuser @ root thing of course)
[SuperSU] gauthamraob:
No, I am already having root :). I have integrated most of the updates to my system app to my sys/app folder through lucky patcher and have installed the modded play store :D. I can even edit and delete system files in "ES explorer" file manager and stop items from startup using "all-in-one-toolbox" boot manager. I have an older version of su binaries which was installed automatically into my phone by "flashtool by androxide" using the force root mode using towel root :good: . But the supersu app was not installed and if the app existed before rooting, flashtool would uninstall it and also replace the new su binaries with an older version :eek: ! So, I already have full root access without the supersu app.

As far as i know, supersu is not needed for root. It is only a gatekeeper app which restricts the unlimited access of root to any app by making the apps that need root to ask for permission first. Without supersu installed, root apps get root access without asking permission provided binaries (any version) are already present. Also, for normal people who don't know or can't install binaries directly, they rely on apps like supersu, CM etc for installing the binaries. But once the binaries are installed, the supersu app is no longer needed for root (except in cases of OTA updates or updation of binary to a newer version) but instead works as a security guard for root.

Edit:

What I want is a way to make supersu submissive and to make do with whatever binaries are already present. If it is not broken, then there is not need to fix/update it. But supersu is extremely adamant. Even when I cancel the update, it gets the binary updated by itself when it gets an internet connection. And after reboot, my system rewriteable access would be gone! And how do I know for sure that Supersu updated binaries without my consent? That is because when I open supersu, it no longer asks for binary updates implying that it updated it on its own. I want supersu to understand that it is my phone and I will install only those things that i deem fit to be installed. Auto update services are something which i don't like.
