OK, its definitely working in PowerAmp with the Google dongle. Just cant get it going with USB Player Pro and since thats a pay app, not sure many even know about it :)

But its probably worth checking out, since they basically made it for HD music. Still playing with the various settings to see if I can get it working. Could be the way they implemented and use a proprietary driver, but its has a ton of settings to try.

As for the v1 DragonFly Black, even though I get the correct color on its LED, I cant get that working yet on PowerAmp....but at the very least PowerAmp with the Google Dongle is working.

**EDIT** Actually the colors on the DF arent correct.....still messing around :)

Also working in VLC w/Google Dongle

So here is a dumb question is the Google provided USB A to USB C adapter OTG capable??? need to look for a flash drive....Chainfires checker seems to think not...well Stickmount likes it and the flash drive....argh :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
This app will not work with non stock USB drivers such as USB audio pro, or Neutron (in custom driver mode).

It was designed for the stock alsa compatible Google driver.

I am using Neutron without any issues (stock driver).

Also, sample rate is not addressed in any of the commands, it's up to Android os.

This works on Android Pie?

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Holy s*** it works. I was a little disappointed the P2XL output has volume than HTC One M8 I used to use earlier. I have AKG K 451 and this nifty little app has brought back the full volume out of the headphones!!

Just a question though. What should be the Initial Digital Gain value? It doesn't go beyond 99%
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
It depends on what sort of headphone/IEM you are using.

Ideally you want the volume rocker about 20 of 25 and the DAC digital gain to make up the difference.

So if I'm using my SE846 (super sensitive) the DAC gain is about 40%, but on my Senn HD800 it will be about 70%.

See my thread on distortion banding vs gain to get an idea what to avoid.

Also remember that the Google DAC has different voltage outputs for the different impedance ranges of your headphones.

I have made several changes to this app (but have not posted it), the biggest being 50 steps on the volume rocker (about 1 dB per step).

The current version is fine with Pie.

If there is interest I'll polish it up a bit and post.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hymnz:
Understood.

I'm now facing a newer issue. I've connected my earphones that came with original HTC One M8. Now, there is a constant DAC connect-disconnect being shown in this app. If I disable this app and use standard Google's music app, there is no problem. Also, somehow I created the "Headphone" profile for this earphones. But it is picking the profile of AKG headphones I created yesterday. Is this some malfunction?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
If you are getting disconnect notices with a particular set of headphones it may mean there is a subtle electrical discontinuity. For instance, plug in the Google DAC (with working headphones), then after it settles in, pull the headphone plug out (not the DAC-leave that connected). My app reads a disconnect because the DAC sends that message. The Dragonfly does not have this behavior, it reads as a DAC whether it has a headphone connected or not.

In regards to the headphone profile, you must have set one up, which is not an issue. The profiles only purpose was to set initial volume and gain so you don't blast your ears out. When I listen to my SE846 the settings are way different than HD800s and visa versa. Follow the instructions on create and delete profiles if you would like to change them around. The profiles do not change the sound, impedance etc.

Max analog volume - 15

Hi

For some reason the app does not let met set a higher "Android Vol - Anagol Vol" than 15.

I am using a HTC U12+ with a HTC dongle. Any idea how can i fix this?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
When I first wrote this app the HTC would only go to 15.

What does it do with the newer model?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kisember:
Basially it show the whole slider - going up to 25 - but the highest i can set is 15. The problem is, to get a decent volume (tried with headphones with 16 and 23ohm impedance) i have to set the DAC volume to 11 (15 is highest).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
But does your phone actually have 25 volume steps (without the app)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Freak07:
No. The U12+ only got the usual 15 steps.

Your app is still working perfectly fine on my U12+. It just shows 25 steps like on the U11 but it’s only increasing volume up to step 15 which is perfectly reasonable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
That was the way it's designed (so I didn't have to make multiple screens).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrMagicPotato:
I need help, please.

Today I inserted my Google Pixel 2 XL's USB-C audio dongle into a galaxy A5 2017 to listen to my friends music. It worked fine and I could hear well through my earphones. So the A5 recognized and used my DAC.

Then.

When I plugged it in back again into my 2 XL it didn't even recognize it.

Nothing. Tried restarting. Wiping cache. Plugging it in every possible way, unplugging the 3.5 jack, plugging them while restarting. Nothing.

To check what was going on I then came here and installed the Pixel 2 USB audio control apk and it said "DAC not inserted". My heart jumped.

Did I just destroy my DAC by plugging it into a Galaxy A5 THAT WORKED, AND STILL WORKS?!

So now I can use the DAC on the A5 but not on my 2 XL. Damn. That's sad.

Has anyone got and idea of what I should do to make it work again with my Pixel? Maybe clean flashing the Pixel? Is there anyway to "jump start" the DAC or to reset it?

I assume that the A5 modified something in the DAC's code.. but now?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
That message means the Pixel isn't recognizing the dongle.

Just buy another, not worth the hassle.

Maybe the pins were damaged from a weird insertion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrMagicPotato:
Nope, they aren't bent pins because the dongle kept working on other phones. Only on my Pixel stopped working.

I messaged the Google Pixel Support and they almost immediately sent me a new replacement one, maybe it's because they aknowledged that's a problem with their dongles.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hovo222:
I just noticed that the phone headphone volume on the loudest level without this mod is the same as with the mod

i mean the mod is definitely working the volume is changing every time i dac up but the max which is 175 is the same as the phones without this mod

is it the software or something else any help is appreciated

phone: pixel 2 xl

software: android pie latest security patch (oct)

doungle: oem google's

unlocked rooted
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
To clarify:

This app does not make the final volume louder than stock (except with a Dragonfly Red). What it does is give you control over the DAC digital gain and the android volume rocker gain. Stock behavior is to have the DAC digital gain at max (175 arbitrary units) and the user then adjusts the final volume with the rocker. My app lets you choose the DAC digital gain (since lower DAC gains will yield less distortion). However, if you choose DAC gain of 175 and max Android volume (25) that will max out your choices.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hovo222:
ok thank you for clearifying is there anyway to boost the sound without changing the doungle?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShynizZ.:
BRUH
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
The Google DAC dongle has an impedance sensor (see my post on DAC testing) so if you are unfortunate enough to have a headphone/IEM that is both low impedance and low sensitivity, that will be an issue. Most of the low impedance IEMs are pretty sensitive (and that's probably why Google designed it this way - safety) so the net volume will be fine.

What are you using?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hovo222:
I've tested it on 2 of my headphones one was the sony xb50ap this headphones were the loudest

and the razer adaro djs which were very quiet

so what your saying is that im stuck with only one option and that is the headphones i should get headphones that are low impendance but high in sensitivity?

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

sorry for being noob I'm just new to type c audio
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
The Razer has an impedance of only 32 so the DAC will only put out 300 mV. The sensitivity is listed as 103 dB, but no indication if it's per volt or mw. Either way not very sensitive.

The Sony is listed as 40 ohms (may trigger the higher output but can't be certain) and sensitivity of 110 dB/mw which may be more than your Razer.

You may be better off getting a different Dongle, look at my thread on the Dongle testing for options. The HTC would be pretty good since both your headphones are single driver (the HTC has a high impedance so a problem for multi driver IEM) and it put's out close to 1 volt.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
The version below now supports the Apple Dac dongle, allowing it to reach 1 Volt output. In addition, this version requires a small addition to a folder in Magisk that will change the volume steps from 25 to 50. The 50 step change was done to make each volume increment about 1 dB in volume. for very fine control of gain.

To change the volume steps:

Make an empty folder in sbin/.core/img/.core/ called post-fs-data.d/

Put the volmod.sh file into that folder as shown above. (the file is in the zip)

Grant permissions (755) read, write, execute.

The functionality and menus are pretty much the same in the app. Distortion wise, stock is comparable now (Nov update in Pie) but if you need full voltage out from the Apple or Dragonfly Dac, or want to track your Spl levels to protect your hearing, this will be of use.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] BulleT0o:
So I would have my earphones in the dongle and plug the dongle in the phone and play music, 9 out of 10 times the music plays through the speakers of the phone and if it does work, it only plays music for 15 seconds than stops playing than if you try to play it again, goes through the speakers, I've ordered another dongle free from Google and that had the exact same issue

Has anyone used this app on a pixel 3?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
It sounds like either the headset connector is faulty of the USB C is loosing contact. What you are describing happens when the Pixel does not "sense" a dongle plus earphones plugged in. If two dongles did the same thing, try a different set of earphones. I don't think my app has anything to do with that, but remove it to be sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
It should work, the software is the same.

Long story short the file i ended up flashing i got off the russian forums because thats the only place i could find files for my specific unit but i didn't read the small print at the bottom that had files linked somewhere else and i wasnt suppose to do a certain update because it makes the screen stop working an I was originally trying to fix the battery threshold level to keep unit from restarting from acc to on position it took the update fine just when it restarted the unit the screen hasnt worked since so I've been trying to find a way to either make a auto update recovery disk of some sort or connect a pc to it through adb or something an anither thing to note is i have no back up or anything of my unit an its been a pain trying to find one i messaged the original seller to see if they could help me out an send me the stock files

The information on the unit comes back as a Allwinner T3-P3 single din 7 inch touch screen unit with android 6.0 R 16 A9 cortex processor the manufacturer goes by Hizpo

Credit goes to Youtuber Gerardo Davila I used his method to get my already activated sim from my LG V30 to run on the XZP

G8142 running Android 8.0.0 and I’m in the US have been running it on TMobile

Only got this running yesterday so no chance to really test it out but from what I saw it has not disconnected from the network. Speed tests did vary got one that was 20 up 20 down using speedtest.net compared to around 8/8 using centurylink server.

For those of you that know more than jack **** like I do is there a way to get calls and texts to work?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
The short answer is "no".

Verizon primarily does CDMA calling, while the XZP is a GSM phone.

Additionally, it could potentially be possible on a bootloader-unlocked XZ1c because its firmware includes a VoLTE capable, Verizon modem configuration binary, but the XZP firmware variants I've looked at so far do not have one included.

Even attempting to get VZW VoLTE working on the XZ1c would be a significant undertaking, requiring the ability to understand what the carrier overlays are doing and how they work, as well as decompiling and recompiling some of those carrier overlay APKs to include the correct settings for VZW APNs and carrier selection.

The Problems are :

1. In Xposed the Modules I have Downloaded seems not working/not getting Activated. I have downloaded AdBlock and Youtube Background, checked both of them and restarted my Phone so the Modules get Activated. Well Youtube Background dosent work & Adblock says "The Module hasnt been Activated" but in Xposed it shows me it is Acivated.

2. I have Downloaded 2 Apps which needs Root Access (Freedom & XModGames) and everytime I launch them it Crash my hole Phone and restart my Phone.

The Root & Flashing Xposed went without any Errors.

Good article on making the V30 more Pixel like.

I have had the Nexus 6P for a LONG time ( GREAT phone ), and it's dying on me, and being on T-Mobile and their JoD program, I can get the V30 with $0 money down, and keep my monthly payment the same. I just ordered it today, coming this week. I need a new phone bad, as my 6P is flaking, random restarting and poor battery life last couple of months. The 6P has been amazing great up until the past several months, but then started getting old fast and unstable. And yes I have tried several different ROM's and my 6P is done.

I was ( God forbid ) thinking of getting the Silver iPhone 8 Plus for a second too, same $0 down deal, but a stock iOS device would be brutal, if there was a stable jailbreak out for iOS11.1 I'd get the 8 Plus, but with no JB, no way
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
How did you debloat your 6P? Root isn't an option on carrier versions of the V30 but apps can be disabled easily enough. You can also use ADB to remove them if you need more space.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] thegios:
6p does not need to be debloated: I could disable a few Google apps I don't use from settings. But having g had a Samsung I know that very often with non Google phones so.e apps cannot even be disabled. I used Package Disabler Pro on Samsung.

I would care to differ. Things like Hangouts, Keep, Play Games, Play Books, Play Newstand, Google+, Maps, and a handful of other things I consider bloatware. Just because it's from Google doesn't mean it's wanted and doesn't mean it should be pre-loaded.
[General Questions and Answers] omgitsMATT:
So here are my limitations.

I have a Samsung S5 but it's the Straight Talk branded version, the SM-903VL. The issue with this S5 is the bootloader is locked so to root the phone you need to downgrade to 4.4 test firmware, root the test firmware then take the cache.img and system.img from another S5 rom, the G900V's stock rom, then move that over and replace the test firmware's cache.img and system.img to get a functional and rootable and full featured operating system on the SM-903VL.

You can read more about it here if it helps you understand better what I'm talking about.

Well, once the G900V's stock rom is on the SM-903VL and it's rooted, you can install Safestrap and then run quite a few different roms through Safestrap!

What I'm wanting to do is take the applications from the extremely debloated stock rom installed on the 1st rom slot and move them to the original rom and not even have to use Safestrap.

So I want to take all the applications on ROM 2, which is slimmed down and extremely lean, and move them to ROM 1 while not just moving the apps from ROM 2, but discarding all the apps originally on ROM 1.

What would be an effective way to do that? I might just try to do it by hand one app at a time through Titanium Backup but there has to be a better way?
[General Questions and Answers] omgitsMATT:
So I answered my own question. In case anyone looks up the phone model I have via Google search, they'll maybe find this thread and it'll inspire them to do a similar endeavor.

I used Titanium Backup Pro to back up all user apps, system apps and data while inside ROM 2.

I then moved that all to an external SD card.

Then I went through the process of setting up the phone by putting the phone back into it's stock form with the G900V stock rom. Those directions on how to do that are in the hyperlinked thread above.

Once the G900V ROM was rooted on the Straight Talk SM-903VL Samsung S5 as directed above in the aforementioned thread, I then used Titanium Backup Pro to ''restore'' the system apps, user apps and data onto the Stock G900V rom.

Then, with all the apps from the extremely debloated rom installed now onto the phone, I proceed to adjust the filters to only show apps not backed up. That allowed me to see ALL the apps I needed to remove while keeping all the apps I needed to have a functional rom.

I then used Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall everything that wasn't backed up. From there I had an extremely debloated stock ROM that someone else had created for the G900V (that was impossible to flash since the SM-903VL's bootloader is locked down tight)
