Can you confirm you are using 2 magnets ? Put at right positions (see picture in main post).

What version of Xposed do you use ?

I did some tests only on S6 with Android 5.1.1 and Xposed 75.8.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] freaksamael:
Please, if possible, can a module be made to activate classic s-view lock screen on S6 Edge? As I can see there are no official s-view cases for edge variant (windowed screen) but I found some 3rd party models. Thank you!
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] itman2000my:
just to ask, is the magnet position the same for Note 5?
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] The Challenger:
I don't know if magnet position is the same for Note 5. But you can try to find right position by moving slowly magnet over the screen (at about 1mm).

When you find the right position, the screen should turn off automatically ;)
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] fredyxxxx:
Can you make version for 6.0.1.???

Was working on 5.1.1. like a charm...

Thx....
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] The Challenger:
Done (I tested it on my S6 with MM 6.0.1).

You just have to use the new apk files (version 1.0.8).

Don't hesitate to give me feedback.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] fredyxxxx:
Done.. dirty install over previous version,restart, and no problems . Looking gooood..

thx for you quick answer . Respect :thumbup:
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] schuurb:
Thanks, tried to, but stuck on bootloop when installing xposed. So no luck yet. Will try tomorrow. Think I'm getting to tired
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] The Challenger:
Did you follow installation steps: here ?
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] schuurb:
Well, eventually got Xposed to work.

Did it like this

- reboot recovery

- dirty flash latest RR, NOT idle kernel

- wipe cache/dalvik

- reboot

- reboot recovery

- install xposed

- wipe cache/dalvik

- reboot

- reboot recovery

- install idle kernel

- reboot

- install xposed installer apk

- install modules that you like.

Trying to install module for s-screen now, will report back if it works.

Got Xposed to work, but no luck on the screen. I am using the original cover.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Not working for me yet unfortunately
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] The Challenger:
You said you are using the original cover. Do you speak about the official cover (samsung genuine) ?

If yes, you don't need this module. This module is only useful when you don't use an official cover.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] schuurb:
Yeah, I'm using genuine cover, but it's not working on the idle kernel.

Thanks for trying anyways.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] niravbha:
can you make it for note 4
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] rbebber:
i want to try this on a note edge with MM, added qi and had to remove the chip in the flip cover to do it, how do i install the zip in xposed? I tried to install the zip in recovery and no go, and i dont see a way to select files in exposed other than the downloads
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] dubist:
I have another problem .

I think I have a genuine s view cover opening and closing works without problem but the touch function through the s view window is not working. If I use the S Pen through the window it's working but with the finger it doesn't work .

Original firmware and Custom TW Rom same problem.
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] brspradeep:
Hi,

I am new to XDA and this is my first request for help.

I have MMX Unite 2 (8 GB Model, unrooted) with Kitkat stock OS.

Couple of days ago, I attempted increasing the apps partition using some of the links in XDA.

I could increase the apps memory to ~2.3 GB and internal SD to ~3.5 GB.

I was getting notification about Software Update(upgrade to Lollipop version).

I chose to do the OTA upgrade. Unfortunately I didnt take any backup!!

After the upgrade process, I ran into 2 critical issues.

I restarted the phone and it is unable to detect any SIM. Hence I am unable to make or get calls.

After some checks, I found out that both the IMEI numbers are erased!

I searched and found that MTK Droid tool or Maui Meta 3G tools need to be used.

However they seem to suggest that the phone needs to be rooted. But my phone is not rooted nor does it have custom Recovery.

Can anyone help me in restoring IMEI numbers? I have written down the numbers (printed on the back of the phone).

Thanks and regards,

Srinivasa Pradeep
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] ajiththiruvatta:
While using MAUI Meta 3g, I think root access isn't necessary. Take a look over here: http://xdaforums.com/unite-2/general/guide-repair-imei-invalid-micromax-t3048984
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] brspradeep:
I actually went through the link earlier.

With my Lollipop version, the MAUI Meta 3G is unable to establish connection. I get the following error after few minutes.

Error:"[ 36] BootROM start command passed, but target has no response until timeout, please press [Reconnect]

button to connect with target"

From the MAUI tool log, I can see that it was indeed able to handshake and send initial data.

Is there an issue with the drivers?

I am confused and need some help or pointers to proceed further.

Actually I checked if the tool indeed worked and I tested with Xolo Q1010i (running on Stock Kitkat 4.4.x).

I could succeed and connect and the indicator turned yellow.

I also made an attempt to flash the nvram.bin specified in the link using sp flashtool.

However this was also of little help.

I am thinking if there is a new version of the tool for lollipop version of the device??
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] ajiththiruvatta:
Downgrade to Kitkat and write imei's. Then try upgrading with sp flash tool. Don't know whether there is a new version or not. I was planning for a new video guide for maui tool. My lappie is in service. Will try something as soon as i get it. And one more thing, did u tried using nvram files from lolipop stock rom in maui? What was the result?
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] brspradeep:
I was able to change finally by following the steps below:

1. I tried the same solution of downgrading to Kitkat and writing IMEIs. I didnt try using nvram from lollipop stock rom as the Lollipop version seemed to be very buggy. It didnt allow apps to access sdcard. It messed up with my custom ebr2 (It provided only 6 MB for internal storage !!)

I followed the video link provided by you in this post to downgrade to KitKat.

http://xdaforums.com/unite-2/help/plz-help-how-to-downgrade-to-kitkat-t3208294

2. After Kitkat downgrade the IMEIs continued to be invalid as was expected.

The Maui Meta 3g(V 6.1316) as well as SN Writer(2.1504) were able to detect the phone and connect using META.

However the baseband version was set to unknown. I set the Modem DB and AP DB to the ones that came with Stock Kitkat ROM as in step 1. I was however unable to write the IMEIs succcessfully through both the tools. They were giving timeout errors.

3. Later I tried quite a few posts as well as youtube links but of little help.

Finally I came across a youtube video by Mohammad Sajid(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WlS0XuH14E)

for Micromax Canvas A116. The same steps of Formatting (with Manual Flash) and downloading the Kitkat stock ROM (as in step 1).

With this I rebooted the phone and it came with wrong IMEI as well as WIFI Mac address.

I then used SN Writer and used the DB that came with stock Kitkat Rom as in step 1 to write IMEIs as well as WIFI Mac address.

Voila!! This time it was successful. I am now happy.

Later I repartitioned the apps memory to have ~2.3GB and internal SD of ~3.7 GB.

Thanks,

Srinivasa Pradeep

That's really a great story! and did u got any nvram warning while switching on wifi?

Same things happened wuth me in past, i also fixed that using the same method but bro as u say im getting NvRam warning while switching wifi off how to solve this, if you know plz tell me.

[Micromax A106 Unite 2] brspradeep:
I am not sure what you meant by nvram warning.

Once I downloaded the stock ROM after formatting, my wifi and IMEI were all junk.

If i remember correctly, it gave nvram 10 as one of the networks when I tried to turn on wifi

After I used Maui Meta 3G tool to update IMEIs and WIFI MAC address, it is working fine.
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] ajiththiruvatta:
So where did you got wifi mac adress? Is it from the settings > about phone, or somewhere else?
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] brspradeep:
Once bitten twice shy.

I had taken the backup of the wifi address before I formatted and downloaded the stock Kitkat rom to the phone.

[LG V10 General] stupc:
I've done a bit of quick testing with music apps this morning and here are the results:

WORKING WITH DAC

N7 Player (only works with the 10-band equaliser disabled)

ZPlayer

PlayerPro (but NOT with the DSP installed!)

Shuttle+

Blackplayer EX

Rocket Player FREE

Spotify (only with cat game installed - see later in the thread...)

Google Music (only with cat game installed - see later in the thread...)

Neutron Player (only with cat game installed - see later in the thread...)

Tidal

Pandora

Noozy

Pulsar Music Player Pro

NOT WORKING WITH DAC

JetAudio

GoneMad Music Player

Poweramp

Stellio Music Player

HibyMusic

Rocket Player premium

Most streaming radio apps, including: Simple TV, MX Player, Xiialive and Tunein Radio

I've got the H961N dual sim version.

Testing method was simply to install the app, play music and toggle DAC on/off to see if there was any interruption in the music (no interruption=no DAC)
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Neutron seems to work on my VS990. There is no interruption when toggling the DAC on/off but I can hear a clear difference in sound quality. No DAC, Neutron sounds better with dither on. DAC on, Neutron sounds better with dither off. I have tested this many times.
[LG V10 General] muddysmind:
Tested Neutron on mine and no difference, wish it worked.

Neutron rocks.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Really? Testing mine again right now after reading this. Night and day difference to my ears.
[LG V10 General] cpurick:
Poweramp looks like a no.
[LG V10 General] clockcycle:
How about google music?
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
I have done some more tests given the information provided here and I have come up with some answers. An interruption when switching the DAC on/off signifies a player that can output true hi-res. I did some test recordings on Audacity through the input on my laptop with a music file that has known frequency response up to 88,200Hz. The players that can output true hi-res (the ones that interrupt with DAC on/off) play those frequencies all the way up with no cutoff. The players that cannot (no interruption with DAC on/off) are using Android's internal resampler and are getting resampled to 48kHz (24,000Hz frequency response).

The players I have found that can output true hi-res are ZPlayer, PlayerPro, Shuttle+ (thank you stupc), LG stock music player, Google Play Music and ES File Explorer media player.

Having said that my ears tell me that all players work with the DAC. However only the ones I have listed above can output true hi-res. The rest, while they do still sound good and do benefit from the DAC, are not outputting true hi-res and are instead being resampled to 48kHz.

I have edited this post to include some visual examples. For the following examples I have used Daft Punk - Give Life Back to Music from the 24-bit/88.2kHz edition.

Really? That's interesting. What file types are you listening to and what headphones?

I'm listening with a pair of B&W P5s to a mix of FLAC and high bit rate mp3s - can't hear any difference whatsoever. With Blackplayer, PlayerPro and Zplayer there's an immediate (and welcome!) jump in loudness and a slight increase in sound quality.
[LG V10 General] jedthehumanoid:
I still haven't managed to find an app that can both work with the dac AND play alac files. I've tried so many different music apps in the last few days. Good thing Google lets you refund a purchase within a period of time because otherwise I would have blown A LOT of cash. :(
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Yes I am definitely hearing a difference with Neutron and the DAC on. I'm fact is still think Neutron is the best sounding player here.

The only advantage of using the players you mentioned is they can play hi-res files with no downsampling. They can play 24-bit/96/176.4/192kHz and more files with no downsampling.

If I playing standard 16-bit/44.1kHz files then to my ears Neutron beats out all the players known to work with the DAC. Listen carefully and you will hear the difference with Neutron and DAC on. The only difference is there is no interruption when turning DAC on/off. I am hearing the exact same difference in quality on all players, including Neutron.

I just have ear buds that came with Galaxy S4 and am playing all wav files with the exception of a couple of flac files.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

This is interesting. With just my headphones plugged in I hear no difference in volume with DAC on/off when using a player that supports the DAC.

However when I plug my phone in my laptop then listen with headphones through the laptop I hear a tremendous difference in volume with DAC on/off.

I honestly have no explanation for this however now I see why you are all hearing a huge difference with DAC on/off.
[LG V10 General] frankth3frizz:
The audio from this device is outstanding. I transferred some flacs and I might be dropping my Google play subscription!!
[LG V10 General] jasonb1985:
I use the stock LG music player for local files, and i use Tidal HiFi (flac) as well. Both sound great with all my headphones.
[LG V10 General] ronnel0918:
Will Spotify benefit from the ESS DAC?
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
OK I went out and bought some new headphones today that are clearly working with the ESS DAC. Apparently the headphones I had that came with my Galaxy S4 weren't working with the DAC properly.

So now that I have those I can confirm Neutron is not working with the DAC. Loving PlayerPro right now and it is beating out Neutron in every aspect sound quality wise.

Neutron does still seem to benefit from DAC, however the players that are working properly with DAC are beating Neutron in sound quality.
[LG V10 General] clockcycle:
Any streaming that would use the DAC?
[LG V10 General] mingkee:
Play Music has.

I can tell the difference.

BTW, most of audio files I encoded are 192kbps ogg.
[LG V10 General] ronnel0918:
Care to share what headphones are those?
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Skullcandy Smokin Buds 2. They sound pretty good for the money and are totally working with the DAC. I don't like to spend a lot of money on headphones. Good sound and much louder than my previous headphones.
[LG V10 General] KAsp3rd:
Looks like 16bit audio is not offloaded but 24bit is.
[LG V10 General] stupc:
I'm missing the browsing UI of N7 player, but the noticeably better sound with PlayerPro is some compensation. ☺
[LG V10 General] cosine83:
Google Play Music will only go through the DAC if the song has already been downloaded to the device, e.g. offline music and songs you've already streamed that are stored in the app's cache. Just tested this myself. Play a song you've played before and probably cached then disable/enable the DAC, you'll get a slight pause in playback that indicates the DAC is being used (you'll notice a volume difference, as well). Do the same with a song you haven't played nor have cached and do the same, you won't get that slight pause. I'm playing out of my AKG K240s and the DAC sounds amazing when it's being used.
[LG V10 General] jmone:
JRiver Media Center Remotes (EOS and JRemote) will stream High Def via the DAC just fine. Great Combo!
[LG V10 General] ph3nom:
wondering if it is the same as spotify premium offline?

maybe anyone can try and confirm?

I don't have google music due it is not available in my country.. but i wish i can.
[LG V10 General] xxceler8:
Does anyone know the significance when the blue '24bit/96hz' icon is displayed?

I play a lot of 24bit/192hz encodes that do sound great but only 96hz files get the icon displayed. I'm wondering if it's better to download the 96hz files.

It's odd because the marketing around this ess dac mentions everything gets upscaled, bluetooth, inet streaming etc etc. But it doesn't look to be the case
[LG V10 General] mingkee:
I did a test when playing local .ogg files and I notified brief interruption when toggling "DAC" icon when playing with Play Music.
[LG V10 General] br0adband:
People actually buy this kinda placebo style tech gimmickry? Really? :p

https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

If you ever get a chance, give that a read - that guy helped created Ogg Vorbis as well as Opus (he shares credit on the patents) and knows more about audio technology than most anyone alive these days and it becomes abundantly clear pretty fast that extremely high bitrates + crazy high sampling rates eventually do one thing: they waste space incredibly well and don't actually do much of anything to improve the quality of actual sound.

The best tip I can ever offer is: make sure the source material is of the highest but still rational (given that article's information) quality you can find and enjoy it.

I for one am pretty surprised LG went so far as to include this 32-bit mumbo jumbo. The actual science behind the audio technology concepts is explained pretty clearly by Monty - he's got a nice video demonstration as well showing with an oscilloscope that can't be denied in terms of actual proof the higher bitrate/sampling rates don't actually improve things overall and that 16 bit 44.1 kHz is basically what human beings are capable of hearing anyway. A lot of people will make claims to be able to perceive far past those points but in A/B testing they almost always fail to distinguish the differences conclusively every time.

Anyway, it's a gimmick in the long run but if it makes you all happy V10 owners, so be it. :)
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
That article has been passed around a million times among hi-def threads and is very old (and outdated news). That article only explains how sampling frequency relates to human frequency responses (ie. 20Hz-20kHz). Higher sampling frequencies offer a more natural, real sound. Higher sampling frequencies also reduce ringing, an artifact in which the decay of instruments is not natural due to the sharp filtering needed to sample at 44.1kHz.

I should mention that I could hear a difference by ear between a player that was not resampling to 48kHz and one that was. That's how I knew something was up. Then I ran the tests after to get visual proof. I could hear it by ear before testing.

That's what bothers me about people like that Monty guy. He goes around saying hi-res is a complete waste and people believe him because he is supposedly some kind of expert who created a file format. Well I am here to say I could hear a difference between players working and not working with the DAC before I tested them. It wasn't until stupc came along with his info before I connected the dots but I could hear the difference before testing.
[LG V10 General] blestsol:
You rolled into the thread thinking you were dropping knowledge with some old info lol..

Thread crap elsewhere. ????
[LG V10 General] rwt4jc:
Power Amp not working.
[LG V10 General] CoolBone:
I kind of accidentally ran into this workaround. Probably exactly what people have been already suggesting.

1. Stream (not stored locally) a new tune on Play Music

2. Cycle Hi-Fi button to "turn it on", notice nothing happens and music gain is rather low.

3. Open up game Neko Atsume (with sound options muted in game)

4. Amp turns on, much higher gain and details in Google Play Music!

5. Collect some cute cats!

I'm not too sure if it uses the ESS DAC, but the amp definitely kicks in. I'm listening to streaming Google Play Music with DT770 Pro 250ohm and man they sound great. 30/70 with this trick sound crystal clear, beautiful details in the mids and highs and there's actually some bass! Not to mention actually having a soundstage.

Sometimes you need to reopen the game if Play Music reverts to the Snapdragon DAC. But you don't have to leave the game open, you can switch between apps.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
This trick is working with Neutron as well. I get an interruption with DAC on/off and a noticeable increase in volume when playing Neutron while I have Neko Atsume running in the background.

Can be a little tricky always getting it to work, but once you do it definitely works.

However Neutron is still resampling to 48kHz using this trick. For me that still makes it not the best player for hi-res music. Using this trick certainly allows Neutron to engage the DAC though. For those that don't care about the resampling issue this trick definitely allows for higher quality with Neutron (and probably all others players know not to work the the DAC).
[LG V10 General] ph3nom:
It is working with Spotify too.. but need to open the game frequently or it will revert back

Thanks for sharing it

So i think once we have root there might be a workaround to force use ESS DAC

Update:

when you get notification the DAC will get turn off again :( so need to open the cat game again..

However if there is no interruption or you don't play around with phone.. DAC will be use.

I really wish there is more Fix work around.
