What if Sony can let the user decide which resolution their phones wanna run.

Like windows in a separate setting under display user get the ability to select the resolution.

People who don't care 4K they can use FHD and if they like 2K they can have 2K , if not 4K all the time.

But by default gallery and movie apps upscale the content to 4K. I think if they can pull that off it'd be so cool.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Gitaroo:
Yeah, should be offer 2 modes in display setting, quality and battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] 1dave:
4k is already possible! thanks to the guide from the previous post lol, I was able to take a screenshot of my phone running in 4k using a different screenshot app

lag?

now gpu is pushing four K resolution, did u noticed any lag?

also did anyone try xperia z five in trinus VR.its and app which allows you to stream PC games to mobile for VR
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
But the important one is the dpi though. The 3840x2160 means it's physical pixel count isn't it? But when you look at the density it's obvious that it's still 1920x1080. Cmiiw though.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dvdmike:
Are there third party apps that run in 4k mode?

Netflix? Ultraflix? Riptide gp all run in 4k on my shield tv
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] SocketMix:
As hansip87 said.

Also running 4k all the time will increase the phone warmth in hand - try it yourself while watching a 4k movie for an 1h30min

I think it's great that it's possible to run at 2k and 4k all the time but for me it's Battery life others is screen quality /viewing pleasure
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] xirt0n:

Great!

Thanks for sharing with us.

It looks good and has great options.

I have yet to test it more thoroughly, but two early observations:

- having the possibility to save to ext-SD instead of just internal will be a great addition whenever you get to it;

- the widget (tried 3x1 and 2x2) doesn't seem to work properly for me. Tapping it seems to start the recording, but even if I tap it again to pause (or further to restart/restop) and press the checkmark to confirm saving, it only saves an empty 0bite file. I actually have to press the btn to open the app to do my recording...

4.4.4 let me know if logcat would help.

Thanks a bunch anyway and Happy Holidays.

[Android Apps and Games] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
This app is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] testkeys:
thanks for the reply [MENTION=383573]LEDU[/MENTION]bao.

One more observation if you don't mind... :

After exiting the app, there are still 1 process and one service running. Those are not "cached" (for faster opening later on) they are running ones and last time I checked, use 24MB of ram.

Could you please try to make the app exit properly and kill those when leaving the app?

I know that I could always go in apps settings each time and stop them manually, but that is annoying and kinda froyo-era time and I don't want to go back to tasks killer app use...

?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thanks [MENTION=7124094]testkeys[/MENTION] to point it out. It's certainly the recording service does not stop properly. It may cause battery leak. I will review on this point.
[Android Apps and Games] dreinulldrei:
Nice. Timed recording of xx minutes or starting via slate (loud short amplitude) would be nice. Any chance to record to a movie container (e. G. AAC in MOV). This way you could store the time code. Also an option for WAVs...
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thanks [MENTION=7053867]dreinulldrei[/MENTION]. There is an option "Draw graphs with decibels" in app's settings. Does that you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] ko3st:
Please provide a (by default?) option to have the date and time incorporated in the filename. So the recorded file starts with the mask yyyymmdd_hhmm , something like 20151222_0927 . After that prefix add what ever the user whishes to name the recording.

I basically suggest that the filename the user chooses should be placed after that automatically generated prefix.

I would welcome this... Fingers crossed.

Thank you for sharing this project ;)

I will be testing it for my recordings very soon !!!
[Android Apps and Games] testkeys:
Merry Xmas!

and thanks for the new gift.

Just had a quick test and I can confirm that I no longer have issues with widgets and that the app is now closing properly upon exit (no more running service/process); thanks!! (that could've been in changelog also btw)

[emoji12]

No ext-SD saving yet, but no biggie there.

Regarding the user interface again:

I like this theme:

but:

- I find it a little bit redundant to have the exact same functions pressing on the big circle (microphone icon) or the middle square button;

- it will take no time to get used to this, but at first, the two small round buttons' functions was not obvious as their icons are a little on the stealth mode (hard to see);

- it would be nice if the notification recording icon(status bar one) would somehow follow the selected theme's scheme/color accent; I truly prefer stealth look over cyan...

- One last thing: the proper abbreviation for Decibel is "dB" not "Db" (string in skip silence setting)

Thanks again for sharing this with us and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

additional info regarding closing the app (on Android 4.4.4) - 2 scenarios:

- you save your recording and press the back key once or twice to exit: the app is "mainly" closed, but it will still "blip" a 0.2%cpu load (small, I know but...) every 5 seconds or so unless I go in recent apps and swipe it off;

- start a recording, press the back button until you reach the home screen, drag the notification panel down and pause&save the recording from there. Now if you look in your running service/process it will be listed and using anywhere from 3 to 7% of cpu load (constant not short blips like case 1). Same solution again though: have to swipe it off the recent apps to fully close it.

Sorry that I'm not using your other means or issue/feedback reporting; I don't G+ or fb...

I monitor this thread and there is no issue at all. Please give your feedback here.

There are still some point that did not fix yet. See more in next version.
[Android Apps and Games] dreinulldrei:
No, actually I was suggesting to start recording on a very loud amplitude, e.g. the slate on set (if on the mic of course).

Secondly, attaching a time code to the running recording would be an absolute pro feature. I often record audio alongside video (e.g. interview situation). Although both devices run at the same "speed" (e.g. audio being recorded at 48KHz), sample clocks can drift and recording hiccups etc. can occur. Recording a timecode with a specified fps, e.g. 23.98, 24, 25 or 29.97 (with e.g. the option to record the time code in free run (which means it's synced to the real-time clock and recording at 14h23m4s would start with a timecode of 14:23:04)) would just be nice...

[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
48 would be nice for video and running this as a backup. Apparently many devices can record and play at 96khz/24bit if the OS supports it.... and some will take a mic through the headphone jack.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Unfortunately, Android OS does not support such high sample rate.

Thanks [MENTION=622611]ensign[/MENTION]. May I use your video on Recordr's Google Play page?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
[MENTION=2861739]nxb[/MENTION]. Recordr looks at available recording capacities, including sample rate and lists on UI for settings. On my Nexus 5X/Android M, it shows maxium sample rate for .aac encoder is 48kHz. I don't have a voodoo enabled device and not sure if it supports higher sample rate. I definitively test it once I managed to install voodoo on my devices.
[Android Apps and Games] ensignT:
Shure, you can!

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
Did some searching yesterday. I have the qualcomm dac it won't let me select 48.. even though its in the conf file in /etc. I've looked for higher rates via mods and seems everyone shouts the praises the wolfson dac but the common qualcomm which supports 24bit and 192khz gets no love and locked to 48 max. HTC M7/8/9 with similar dacs has a sound mod but not sure if they have 96 or 192. I'll have to test it on my M7 since nobody bothered to port it to the Snapdragon S3 I use as the daily driver.

Sad thing is I see no ADC development... its fine to have everything is downsampled to 44 or 48 on phone playback if you could take the recordings to the PC and handle them there. Seems like uncharted territory.

Hi [MENTION=2861739]nxb[/MENTION],

Latest version already fixed 48kHz encoding sample rate issue.

I try to encode with higher sample rate. Here are some results at 96kHz and 192kHz

- Nexus 5x, running Android M: it can encode and decode with .wav format, but can not decode with .aac and other formats.

- Galaxy SIII, running Android 4.3/KTech running on Android 4.2: they can not encode any format at these frequencies.

I need further test before include in the app.

I also try to install VooDoo Sound app for my rooted devices, but the kernel is not compatible. It seems that VooDoo Sound does not support with recent Android versions (4.0+).

[Android Apps and Games] Galaxiez:
It's perfect I rated 5 stars.
[Android Apps and Games] br0adband:
Just saw this off the XDA front page and was actually looking for a sound recorder app, talk about timing. Grabbed it from the Play Store, tested it out for about 10 minutes and gave it a 5-star rating and a recommendation too.

Outstanding piece of work, seriously.

If I can offer one potential addition, I would love to see it be capable of encoding to the Opus audio format which is vastly superior to AAC with respect to low bitrates aka smaller files while maintaining outstanding audio quality just the same. Not a demand, just a request if possible - Opus is free of licensing whereas AAC isn't. I know that Google introduced Opus support in the media API with Lollipop but unfortunately how they handle it is that it must be inside an MKV aka Matroska container as stupid as that sounds (not .opus but .mkv).

Anyway, hopefully in the future that'll get fixed and it'll support Opus properly with the .opus extension (which is technically an .ogg container just named differently) and then perhaps Recordr will be able to support it.

Regardless, FANTASTIC piece of software, truly, and the fact that it's free is pretty amazing. I was prepped to hand over a buck or two just from the XDA review material alone. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] xdag4:
First of all thank you for the great app! Finally someone who doesn't trade functionality for simplicity. But I couldn't find the license of the app or source code? Do you mind telling me where I can find them if they are available?
[Android Apps and Games] RandomNewbie:
Great application, thanks for offering this app free or charge. But right now I'm missing two options:

1. Choosing different microphones. This is important, as some people (like me) prefer to choose the camera microphone over the standard one. There are good reasons: The quality of the camera microphone is, depending on the device, sometimes a lot better (example: Moto E2 2015). And depending on the situation it's just better.

2. It's missing an encoder bitrate option. Even applications which aren't calling themselves "professional" are including it.

As an example, this app got both of these options: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splendapps.voicerec - Right now it's my standard app for recordings, and I would switch it out for yours when these features are added later.

Thank you in advance, should you consider to include these features in a future update.
[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
Yea, they fell off on this one and it only supported the wolfson dac... your S3 probably has that if its GSM or non US. I'll have to port the relevant drivers or soundmods myself if I want 96 from the looks of it. On my crappy $50 PND, even on android 4.1 the config file has 96 sampling rates :( If recorder runs there I can test the formats, I think you mentioned it auto detected wav.

Suggestions above are pretty decent. Bit rate/more formats + audio routing is pretty much all that's left to an audio recorder.... maybe timecode too; don't know if you want to go THAT far.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Looks great! Please, an Armv6 version of the lame lib. 64-bit and atom support also would be desirable (problem with including precompiled libs with apps).
[Android Apps and Games] NightMean:
Sorry to say but your app is not the first to record in .aac .I have ASR app installed on my phone for a while and it was able to do it for a while :D But still your UI looks so much beautiful ! :D
[Android Apps and Games] NotesOfReality:
Hey there [MENTION=2363772]leducbao[/MENTION],thank you for this simply great app,what makes lost of words is that the app is totally free and maybe it's what makes me say "THANK YOU!!"

I'd like to see this features added in order to make the app maybe better:

-11khz, 22khz and 32khz sample rate option

-a secret memory area hidden from other apps,accessible only through the recordr app using any pin,password,pattern(3x3,4x4,5x5,6x6,Knock On like)

-to turn screen off when proximity sensor is covered(on lockscreen or not)

-more complete widget(3x1) with a bin icon in order to delete and a pencil icon in order to rename a recording after has just been done

-lockscreen-specific widget(obviously with the feature you have just read over here XD)

-DashClock Support

-Action Shortcuts support

If it couldn't be clear,I don't pretend this ASAP or a ETA for these ideas implementation and I hope it wouldn't be too much.

cool design

I like this app deisign..
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
I'm very interested in implementing various audio format. Android natively supports .wav, .aac, .3gpp, .amr. Other formats require external libraries, mostly written onnative C language. I just took a look at Opus open source project. It's written on C. I could't tell you if I can manage to integrate it into Recordr soon since I could not find a Java-wrapper for Opus.

Thank you for your suggestion

Hi [MENTION=6998029]xdag4[/MENTION], Recordr is a close source project and I don't place to open its source code anytime soon.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
It should be an option somewhere in the app's settings. I will support it in future release

Definitively a must. I will support it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
My S3 is GSM/US version running on Android 4.3, rooted, but Voodoo Sound shows that its kernel does not support.

Timecode already supports with .mp4 format.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Definitively. I hope to support .mp3 recorder on other architecture soon.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Possible, I need to carefully test these option before including into the app.

It's not difficult to implement this feature. However, in which use case do you need this option? You record a conversation and nobody is aware of the conversation is recording? I just want to understand use cases :highfive: and properly implement it inside the app.

I also think about to shake a phone to start a recording and face down to stop it. But widgets are already very handy way to help people quickly start/stop recording.

Yes, interesting.

Discard button (bin icon) already supports in the very early version. I finally remove it to keep the UI clean and proper and avoid accidentally discard recording.

Lockscreen widget is removed on 5.0 devices. That's why I don't support lock screen widget.

What's Action Shortcuts? Does home screen widget support this already?

Thank you so much. Here is Recordr translation portal

[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
The 48khz is visible now in when I upgraded to the latest version. I've heard that the US galaxies use 48 internally, not sure if its true... but that would mean up re sampling is happening on playback or recording. Would have to be tested or further researched.

dragon-fi supports the galaxy dacs on the S3/S4 but the maintainer is hostile to porting it on other devices because of user behavior, he didn't have luck with 192 but not sure what happened with 96 since I haven't read the huuuuuuuuuge thread yet.
