So far I've tried a ported Sony Walkman apk with various old school sound mods (xLoud & Clearaudio+, Beats), then Apollo with HTK audio engine, then ViPER4Android. I can't tell if any of them worked, which usually I can tell. I think it's because the sound from the PURE's speakers is already pretty loud, and much better sounding then my original Moto X's? I used the selinux app for ViPER4Android, and HTK audio engine apparently doesn't require the selinux mode change. I'm gonna play around later with my Bluetooth headphones to see if I can notice it better. I think the speakers/drivers are pretty damn good, can't wait to see how much better they can get, being an audio enthusiast. Thoughts, input, ideas?:silly:

Edit: I plan on adding the "known" working music mods/apk's/etc.....

mixer_paths.xml VOLUME BOOST

XTREMEMusic

Xperia Z3 WALKMAN and MODS

ViPER4Android

HTK audio engine

Tried using viper on stock and it sounded god awful. It didnt improve the sound one bit and instead made it sound super tinny to where some songs would hurt my ears. It did work on AICP though, but its still to buggy for me to use as a daily.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] gokart2:
Thanks for the input! I still can't tell a difference. I did however flash THIS and it seemed to work. I had the "color mode" set to normal instead of vibrant since I didn't think vibrant made it any better. But I flashed the Sony zip and it seems much better.....
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] juanacevedo:
Interesting, would you say the difference is very noticeable? I remember using something like this on the optimus4x and it made it look nicer but I'm not sure if it was a placebo or not haha
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] TGtheImmortal:
Been using XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire and V4A and loving the audio quality. Takes some tuning but sounds fantastic on speaker, headphones, and in my cars Bluetooth. Increases the speaker volume greatly without distortion too.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] juanacevedo:
DUDE! I just have to say, thank you for linking that mod! Originally viper did not work at all for me on stock but after installing these mods, sound quality is now amazing! It's the best on any phone I've had so far.

Everyone go flash this!
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] TGtheImmortal:
Very welcome. Its amazing so glad it was useful to you!
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] gokart2:
Ok..... I was able to increase the volume by editing the mixer_paths.xml similar to the way it's listed on the net everywhere. Only tested the phone speakers and bluetooth, not headphones. Was kinda scared so I only increased everything by "2". That was noticeable and good enough for now.

1. Using your favorite file explore go to = system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

2. Increase the highlighted area parameters in the pic below. I increased everything by only ''2''.

GO IN SMALL STEPS. I DON"T KNOW WHICH PARAMETER IS WHAT SPEAKER..... OR WHEN IT WILL BREAK SOMETHING!!

I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOWING YOUR SPEAKERS OR EARDRUMS!!

I tried to install XtremeMusic Mod, Project Desire and V4A, but V4A is not working, NEON is showing as NO. I followed all their instructions and XtremeMusic app is showing that it is on. Have you guys had this problem or did you have to do something different to the instructions to get it working?
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] gokart2:
I installed it like the post specified, and it sure seems like its working. I haven't adjusted the EQ though. What do u mean neon=no?
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] patt2k:
this is what I have for past month :D along with dolby atmos (v4a+atmos)

sometimes I feel like there is to much bass so I try to tweak it from time time I use bluetooth earphones (jabra rox)

neon shows for me no however under normal mode works just fine there isn't any other solution I know for NORMAL mode to work on stock rom at least.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] ioneng:
Inside V4A, if you check driver status, it says NEON=NO instead of yes.

Do you mean that V4A works for you fine even when NEON is no? I haven't tested it extensively because I gave up once seeing the "No" hehe. I'll give it a try now and see whether V4A is really working. I do think however, that XtremeMusic Mod is working, my bluetooth buds sounds much better than before I flashed them. So even if V4A is not working, I can just wait for them to find a fix.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] patt2k:
Exactly it shows neon-no and it works.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] ioneng:
I just noticed that when I play a song, v4a shows "processing=no" as well. My conclusion is that when we flashed "XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire and V4A", the "XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire" part did stick, but not the fixed V4A version. So the sound enhancement we can hear is from the first 2 mods only. I tried increasing/decreasing bass in V4A and there was no audible difference.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] ErikHellstrom:
is anyone able to get walkman working on stock? It seems to bootloop in the presence of lucky patcher.

UPDATE: I'm able to get the standalone 9.0.2A to work, but not the 3.5 Z3 package
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] black_valor:
I was having the same issue but managed to get it to start working.

Steps I took:

* Uninstall V4A Drivers

* Reboot to recovery

* Re-install XtremeMusic

* WIPE CACHE/DALVIK

* Re-install V4A and drivers (mine got uninstalled in the process of flashing XM)

* Reboot

* Set SELinux to Permissive

* Play some music and open V4A to verify V4A is working (I have mine set to Compatible and Forced)

* Open XM and turn on

Hopefully this works for anyone else having issues as well. Relatively simple fix but it worked for me.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] ffejy462:
Been using this Viper, Atmos, Beats installer for the last few weeks and it's fantastic. Developer is actively developing with a new version nearly every day (at this point mostly small tweaks to increase compatibility across devices). I'm on the latest version (3.7) with no problems. Wipe dalvik and cache, flash, reboot.

TWRP should be able to flash any custom roms. Maybe your rom was corrupted. Try re-download your rom again and test it.

Anyone else experiencing this?

When the phone's screen is off but not yet locked, I try to "okay google" to send a text or set an alarm/reminder or ask a query, the screen doesn't come on. You can still send the text or perform the activity but the screen is off.

I recently got the Mlais M7 Plus (The new version with the faster MTK6753 octa core Vs the older quad core) Here's my video review. Photo samples and video files are uploading. I got this from Gearbest here: http://goo.gl/Y2a3QU

[YOUTUBE]MHwNj_cMcmM[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]ZUFbpb_dhCc[/YOUTUBE]

Overall it's an okay mobile. Just let down a little by the screen, video, low light photos and fingerprint sensor is hit and miss if it works.

Pros:

Octacore MTK6753 and MaliT760 Graphics keep the phone responsive and quick.

No bloatware installed

It can play all games without any stutter.

While plastic the build is okay with a metal border.

Cons:

Fingerprint sensor didn't work until the OTA update

Fingerprint sensor is hit and miss. Works 70% of the time.

Screen lacks a little in brightness and very hard to see in the sun

1080p video quality is very average

Only a 720p screen, 1080p would have been nicer

Doubts on if that really is Gorilla glass 3?

Poor panoramic and low light photo quality.

No autofocus on videos, it's a set fixed focus.
[Android General] Aless67:
Hi, i got this M7 Plus too.

I want to root it : http://www.xda-developers.com/root/

Do you know one working root app for that M7 Plus ? Thanks you..
[Android General] cjrand:
You can flash Plunk Hero Pro firmware. The phone is the same as M7 plus, just rebranded. The firmware of Plunk Hero Pro as of 10/20 is rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] _whitebeans:
Its been over a month that ive had my 64g note 5. Just yesterday ive noticed that my so called fast charger wasnt charging my phone as it did in the earlier weeks of usage. No i havent exposed my phone ro any liquids and my charger port is covered by my phone case flaps. And no i havent altered my original oem charger cradle/ usb cord. Any one else experiencing the same problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
Try plugging the charger directly into the wall outlet (If it wasn't already). If you have any alternate USB cables, try some of those. Otherwise it's the adapter or the phone.

Typically unless you notice the actual port having problems the USB cable is probably worn out. They are usually cheap and frequent bending on any portion of the cable will cause it to eventually break the wire inside.

This is one of the benefits of wireless charging. You won't have to worry about wear on the port or dealing with broken/worn USB cables.

Edit: What I did notice about a week ago was my Fast wired charger was cutting in/out or the phone would say it was only charging at standard speed. I had the adapter attached to an extension cord and decided to just run it directly to my power strip, which solved my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
An extension cord won't matter. The charger dongle either gets juice or doesn't...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Daciple:
I bought the Choetech fast wireless charger, working great. Heard there's been issues regarding Samsung brand. But the wireless charging works very well. I have the Choetech fast charger & a Spigen wireless dock, both flawless not cutouts!

Sent from my Note 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BobC43:
For me the issue seems to be the lock screen. When on the lock screen and I plug the charger in I usually do not get fast charge. But if I first log on then it usually will fast charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
Juice directly from an outlet will always be more than juice coming from an extension cord (especially if its a cheap one) connected to a powerstrip connected to an outlet. If you have ever cut open an extension cord, you'd see why. Below all that plastic are a few silky copper threads which can in no way possible convey the amount of electricity that the thick wires behind your outlet can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes but the dongle is vastly reducing what goes to the phone anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jacob11701:
Issues with the stock chargers for a lot of people on the note 5. Mine wouldn't fast charge unless plugged and unplugged a bunch. Not good for the port. Got a verizon red tip rapid charger like a few other coworkers got and it fast charges everytime I plug it in. No matter extension or not.. Or 20% or 90%. [emoji4]

[Touch GSM Accessories] botson71:
Did you custom order a full shield or just a screen shield? I was thinking of the second option, if what they say on their specifications (99% clarity, extra durable, designed for US helicopter blades blah blah) is true. :)

Please keep us posted
[Touch GSM Accessories] Doctor Mick:
Will it come off, once applied?
[Touch GSM Accessories] joule:
I just received my touch today, and the skin is amazing. I ordered a full body shield, but they actually build the full body and the screen as separate pieces, so you can buy either. At first I didn't even recognize the skin, it adds a sort of rubbery feel, and it is kind of shiny, but not much. I actually keep my touch in my keys pocket, and it doesn't show any wear at all, but it's been only a day now.
[Touch GSM Accessories] joule:
You can actually remove it, I don't know exactly how. Since they don't use actual glues to stick it, it doesn't leave any residue.
[Touch GSM Accessories] Icarus93:
Did anyone tried that? Is this the same product as Shieldzone selling?

Invisible Protector

Anyone tried any of the products?

How is it?
[Touch GSM Accessories] shadowrtype:
I would be interested in anyone's experience with this too. I've used similar product from BestSkinsEver but only for screens on my non-touchscreen devices. Great protection and durability. I'm worried about how this will be on the rubberized surface of the Touch and if would pull off if you want to remove.
[Touch GSM Accessories] jefmcg:
best skins ever

I've got a best skins ever for my iPod, and I love it. I believe it's the same material as invisible shields, but much cheaper.

I'm not buying it for my touch - yet - as it would spoil the matt finish if I covered it, and the supplied screen save is good for now.

this $6.99 skin would give you plenty of material to completely cover your phone, or screen protectors for several phones (I think....I'm not much good with imperial measurements]
[Touch GSM Accessories] doni:
I've also ordered a full shield from shielzone.com, haven't gotten it yet. I suspect they don't provide a tracking number since they ship free and use the cheapest USPS service available, which wouldn't have any tracking (e.g. express would have, and on regular postage only if you pay for registered would have tracking). I exchanged a few emails with them before I ordered and they were very helpful.

Now that I'm waiting to buy the HTC Polaris, it feels like I'm just wasting money, but it would be good training for the next invisible shield. that is, if I'm satisfied with it :)

Btw, I've tried the silicon cases as well, got one from Boxwave. While quality is reasonable, I can't understand how people can use that. It looks ugly, I just couldn't stand it (I've paid to have a sleek looking ppc phone). It also made it bulkier and hindered scrolling on the sides. That was a big waste of money on my side, but I've learned my lesson ... never silicon cases again.
[Touch GSM Accessories] Icarus93:
Thanks for you detail input, much appreciated. If by chance, please provide an update, how you like this product after it all "cured". The only thing that kinda concern me, is whether if this products is removeable and leave no harm to the body. (like leaving not trace or sticky feel)........ I hated the pouch that this phone comes with, if this product works, I am just going to stick the phone straight in my jean pocket............soooo looking forward!!!

Shieldzone day 4

Well I was patient and the bubbles are gone. The largest one was about this big "o". It shrank a little each day until it was gone. The sides are also sticking now. Overall I am well satisfied. The rubber feeling is still there but it seems less. I am not sure if I am getting used to it or if it is less. Either way the finger and stylis are working better.

I did have a scare yesterday. There was a scratch about as wide as my thumbnail on the screen. I couldn't believe it because I did try the key trick...on the back of course. And I couldn't scratch this stuff. Later in the day the scratch just went away. I realized, I had laid the phone on my thumb drive and it made an impression in the material.

I will post updates and try to post pictures later. The phone is very shiny now. It still picks up smudges from use but now I can wipe it once and it comes clean.

If you don't buy the full cover, at least buy the screen cover. This stuff feels indestructible.
[Touch GSM Accessories] aikidoka-mks:
Looking forward to pics. How does the screen respond to the stylus and finger? Any less sensitive? I'm thinking this and a horizontal pouch might be a good combo for me if I get the Sprint Touch
[Touch GSM Accessories] Icarus93:
Hey, BOBBYDAVIS

You have convinced me man, I just ordered my Shieldzone as well, will c how it goes! But I did get a email confirmation as soon as I submit my payment via Paypal. (I got 1 email from paypal and 1 from shieldzone.)

Cheers,
[Touch GSM Accessories] BOBBYDAVIS:
I used a credit card on mine, but I think the confirmation was killed by my hotmail spam filter. Oh well as long as I got it. Be sure to wash your hands and spray plenty of the solution on your hands and the protector like the video says. Also line up the holes so you have room around the buttons rather than lining up the edges.

One thing I didn't mention, the back didn't have the speaker cut out. I use my headphones, so I dont know if it affects the sound quality.

good luck.
[Touch GSM Accessories] Icarus93:
Again, thx for the tip, couple of things, that might kill the works is, first, I do have shaky hands.....mostly from excess coffee, =P and my hands do tend to heat up and sweat, Hahhaa, will c how it goes, keep you posted. But as per your advise, I will have a tweezer around somewhere.

Note: I am actually a bit disappointed to find out they didn't cut out the holes for the speakers........oh well, I think I can live with that.

[Touch GSM Accessories] BOBBYDAVIS:
Well it has been a couple of weeks and the skin is still going strong. There are a couple of edges that didn't lay down well, but they haven't gotten worse. In fact the skin keeps smoothing out. I tried to take a couple of pictures but the reflection is so bad it doesn't do it justice.

If I had to buy it again, I would. I would just take more time when I put it on. If you look at the picture you will see how glossy it makes the phone. If you don't like glossy, you won't like this. But if you don't like scratches and can live with glossy this is the product for you.

I tried to take a picture of it with fingerprints but they didn't show up. I still get smears from use, but they seem less and they are easy to wipe off. I just scrape it on a soft cloth, coarse blue jeans, jagged brick walls...well maybe not brick they just don't absorb enough but my blue jeans work fine. No scratches and I have fumbled so much there should be a few.

It really makes me feel like the phone is invulnerable. I have to keep reminding myself that it only protects from scratches. I have thrown it in my pocket with keys, change and a pocket knife. No scratches, but I'm lucky I didn't shatter my screen.

There is another thread that has pictures. I am not sure about the level of protection, but the glossy look is the same for both products. Mine looks about like this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=321696&page=2

Looks like the brand you used has more pieces. Does the back cover go over the small raised bumps and leave a bit of air trapped around them like it appears in the photos of the other brand?
