Still working on the sound issue

The init.rc for Cyanogen ELB 2.8 has another service (see code)

service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
socket zygote stream 666
onrestart write /sys/android_power/request_state wake
onrestart write /sys/power/state on
onrestart restart media

service media /system/bin/mediaserver
user media
group system audio camera graphics inet net_bt net_bt_admin

[I][B]service bootsound /system/bin/playmp3
user media
group audio
oneshot[/B][/I]

service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

i am working on calling this service to get sound for you, but i only mess with this in my free time. What we need to do is either place a modified init.rc or i have to learn how to call the bootsound service from the XLS file. This is all new programing to to me. I will figure it out though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Dude take your time Im not in any rush lol. I just like testing roms to see what works and what doesnt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
I've been trying to get sound to work as well, with no luck on CELB 2.8 (same on White Widow). It seems that on these non-Sense-based ROMs something is set up different. I also looked at the init.rc file in the same spot posted above, and saw the same thing, but it seems that the /system/bin/playmp3 file does not exist. I can't find it in any ROM or anywhere on the interwebz :(

I've tried the every combination of every method I could find and it is driving me insane...
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostbytes:
Well maybe this will help. According to the android initialization process we could build playmp3 from source. the bootsound service (bootsound: play the default boot sound /system/media/audio/ui/boot.mp3. The source is in device/commands/playmp3.) needs this in order to produce sound. Now to find the source and compile.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I dont think its just non sense based roms, I'm testing Evil Eris 4 and there is no sound either.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ErismaSS:
I've had problems using any kind of gif, xml, mp3 bootanimations for aloysius...been able to make my own bootanimations using png and desc text...
[Droid Eris Android Development] semmtexx:
Is there any way to make this into a zip that could be flashed from recovery? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Vistro:
This does NOT work on KaosFroyo... The files are definitely there, I didn't have to delete anything, but the Android logo is still the boot animation.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Guys this wont work on anything thats ASOP or CM based. Sense based roms only :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzy1212:
any updates to this thread?

i also have been struggling to put bootsound on my X10 mini pro. no dice.

stumbled onto this thread.

anyone uploaded the playmp3 executable yet if it exists?

can someone who has one upload one?

(didnt realize you can fit so many ones in one sentence...lol)

i have the same line as the init.rc in Cyanogen ELB 2.8

service bootsound /system/bin/playmp3
user media
group audio
oneshot

i'm willing to help solve this:)

Sure he's just not running some sort of VPN or program that allows him to see and interact with his PC screen? I know that these phones are powerful, but...to be able to run EQ1? No way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soupskin:
These phones are far more powerful than the system I used to play EQ on:

Pentium 133, 32 MB RAM and dual 12 MB Voodoo 2's!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProvocativeSmell:
Ya you could do a remote connection to a computer kind of thing but its actually installed and running on a Droid. Ya these phones are definitely up there or better than my computer when I played EQ1. Except I had a Voodoo 3! :p

Keyboard would be a slight issue for our phone but drag and click works for 90% of what you need to do in it anyways.
[XPERIA X10 General] AdamUpNorth:
So for the life of me I can't get any converted videos (converted to MP4) to have video and audio sync'd. I've tried half a dozen diff programs. But what I found out today is that when I play back the audio via the bluetooth adapter in my car, the audio and video is sync'd. What's up with that?

I've searched the forum and it looks like some folks have audio/video sync issues and some don't.

Does anyone know if there's a solution or workaround to get the audio/video synced for MP4 video?
[XPERIA X10 General] Aztriltus:
Hey same problem here.

I just used Videora Converter and went to edit the profile in the Video>General tab 2 and set the Audio delay to -0.4 (My audio was faster than my video)

And it's playing in sync in my x10 now (: Although in my computer, it's now out of sync.

Spent almost 5 hours trying to figure out the problem, but just setting the audio delay was good enough for me.

Hopefully SE can fix this problem. I'm with the firmware R1FB001. Generic NCB
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kstar54:
Just installed it.....LOVE IT! I am such a huge Sense fan, but this Expresso sense is too bloated....LauncherPro beta makes it all better again! I miss some of the Sense widgets, but this is fast and clean and fairly robust. I can't wait to see more!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Sooooo, by installing a new launcher, isn't all the bloated software still sitting on your internal memory somewhere? I find the stock Sense system to still be quick, I just don't like how much internal memory it eats up...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
Yea all the stock stuff remains theyre just running on a different home, I really dont see how it "speeds" up the phone as Im sure sense is still running in the background.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jonstanley2:
The slide's htc sense launcher is incredibly fast and responsive, I see no need in replacing it but to each his own I guess.

Im coming from the original mytouch so my view may be skewed. With all 7 home screens filled up with htc widgets and other widgets and apps I receive no lag whatsoever and have about 220m free. After I kill tasks I have about 305m. On the mytouch with 5 screens filled I always had somewhere between 20-30m free. So this phone is a godsend to me, speed-wise. :]
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
OOOOoooohhhhh dear...

Also, 220m free? I think thats the highest I've seen... Even after a wipe, I have MAYBE 140m free.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] donepate:
I have seen about 220 free after a restart with no widgets loaded up aside from Status Widget. I love Sense, just not the TMo crap that's added to it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Etype R:
I like sense, and the widgets that come with it....

But I hate the stupid Espresso icons, and the MyFaves icon locked on the bottom next to the app drawer. Because of those two things alone, I installed ADW.launcher. The MyFaves icon being the major reason though, I can deal with the silly looking icons.

Before switching to ADW, I removed all widgets from my sense homescreen, along with all the icons. I wanted to make sure it wasn't taking up any more resources in the background then needed. I also went into apps, and cleared the data for HTC sense.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] squidbutt:
i really want adw with the sense widgets support

any homescreen replacement like that who does such?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akulamenuri:
Ive read plenty of articles/topics/post that said Task killers are pointless on android but I still see people defending that argument saying that they are in fact needed.

I want to know is it necessary for a device like the Evo that has alot more RAM to keep applications open in the background, a track record of bad battery life, and an abundance of applications that appear automatically in the background when we power on our devices (I just rebooted my devices and Advanced Task Killer says I have 20 applications open and I haven't opened anything) to have a task killer. What do you think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero's Hero:
Well first, when you boot it up, those applications automatically open up.

Task killers are a major part in my Android life baha.

IMO, it helps my phones performance in many factors (battery, speed,storage, ect.)

I would recommend one, suggestively Advanced Task Killer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
i used task killers for maybe 3-4 months with the Nexus One; once people said that it's not needed, i stopped using it and haven't noticed my battery draining any faster

i agree, there are too many apps boot up automatically when you first power on the phone, but you can use apps like Autostarts to prevent these apps from starting on boot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero's Hero:
Yeah, different people have different issues.

but, get something either a task killer or that app he suggested because that does so down the performance on the device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
Android manages memory on quite well on it's own. You using a task manager hinders it's ability to do it's job correctly.

You have to realize that we're the end user, the people that actually create this stuff, know what they're doing.

Linux has been around for a while.

A task killer will do NOTHING more than end apps that may/may not need to running and give you a FALSE sense of preformance.
[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
I love my hd2, I just got it. But, I'm using it on ATT and currently am seeking to unlocking it. I'm thinking about switching to Nexus one because of it's ATT 3G and wont need to be unlocked. I have been without phone use for about 3 weeks. I want an easier to open battery door, but that's about it. I really don't want to have to mail my HD2 back and wait for a refund, then buy a N1 and have to wait.... I just really need help, should I switch or not? I barely ever make calls on my phones, I usually text and don't have Data but was planning on adding it on when I got the HD2. Will Edge Data speeds be really bad? I'm just so confused right now, I was hoping I could trade my HD2 for a N1 to make it quick and easy so if I didn't like it I could switch back but NOBODY with a N1 wants a HD2. It's stressing me out because I need a phone to use ASAP, but don't want to make the wrong decision and be stuck with a phone I hate for possibly years since I'm not signing another contract with ATT, but don't plan on switching to another carrier.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
the N1 has ATT 3G bands :confused::confused::confused:

EDIT: wow, I guess it does. How the hell did I miss that they released an AT&T/Rogers version of the N1??
[HD2 General] xtralongleave:
The difference in EDGE vs 3G is quite substantial. Nowadays I would consider EDGE data connectivity speeds almost useless. So for you, I would recommend a native 3G device over an unlocked device that only connects via EDGE. ( Not that I am recommending the N1 over the Hd2 ;) )

I understand the inconvenience you state about having to return your phone online and to be without a phone in the meantime. Have you considered selling your HD2 locally via Craigslist? Then use the $$ towards the Nexus! :)

Or better yet, since you're out-of-contract you should just keep the HD2, since you love it so much anyways, and switch to a no Contract Tmo plan with Data and save some $$ !
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
So you have me a bit confused. Do you have a T-mobile HTC HD2? & why would keeping this bind you into a contract with AT&T?

If you are using AT&T and worried about data speeds I'd say to get a phone that works with AT&T 3G, You do know that AT&T will be releasing iPhone 4 this month? ( I know I am probably going to get bashed for this) This phone will be the biggest bang for your buck if your looking into touch screen, 3G speeds, & smartphones. I'd say return your HD2 wait for your refund and buy a simple phone til the iPhone 4 comes out.

But that is just me. I am just fine with my HD2 but I am on T-mobile so I get 3G speeds already.

Edit: okay I just reread your post so please disregaurd my above statement, I thought you were signing another contract with AT&T

But regaurding your N1 if you are big on data speeds and the N1 can both support both 3G networks for AT&T & T-Mobile then i'd almost say its worth it and do what I said above and get a cheap phone off of like craigslist to hold you down til then.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
AT&T's data sucks... Everyone that I know using an Iphone says the data, interenet, etc is slow as hell. Also At&t just announced they are doing away with their unlimited data plan... How nice of them...
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
If your not getting 3g speeds HD2 its pretty useless.
[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
Yea, I heard about att's new "courtesy" for data. I'd like to switch to T-Mobile but my contract doesn't end till sometime around April of 2011. Craigslist isn't an option because I'd need to get the same ammount I paid for it and I'm not sure if I can take it back anymore. I'm never using eBay again either.... TOO MANY FEES, I'd end up losing $50 if I got $400 for it. Nobody on here is looking for an HD2 either.... I love the phone but if Edge is as bad as i'm hearing I don't think I can go through with this.
[HD2 General] starkall:
Do yourself a favor and throw that hunk of crap in the garbage and get the new iphone on the 24th, i have had 4 HD2's and all were huge piles of ****, you cant even text message on the thing unless you type one letter per 20seconds LOL i actually threw my last one at the wall and smashed it cause it is just a **** phone with good parts that HTC obviously couldnt sput together to make it run smooth, Even the scrolling is choppy as ****, anyways sorry im so angry but these phones are ****!!!! Im even gonna switch to ATT if i have to from tmobile on the 24th to get the iphone 4 if i have to, but hopefully verizon will have it as well. GL buddy
[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
Thanks... Their was an offical statement made by Apple that their would be no CDMA iPhone anytime soon.

[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I've heard you can get very fast edge speeds with at&t... around 700-800kbps. Theres a thread about it somewhere in the original Leo General section.... thats as fast as I'm getting with T-Mobile 3G. I'd prefer the HD2 over a N1. I would definitely not go with the iphone. But thats just me. I prefer WinMo. I'm not a fan of locked down OS's like apples. I like the versatility and functionality of winmo. My HD2 has been one of the most stable phones I've owned.... and what other phone can you play any playstation game at full speed?
[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
ATT has the best 3G for a GSM carrier, I live in South Florida so I suppose if your correct about fast EDGE speeds than I may take a second look about that. I just need to unlock it first...
[HD2 General] AyanamiZer00:
Haven't you heard? It's called 'Jailbreaking and Unlocking.'
[HD2 General] starkall:
yup i know but they might be able to stop that with the new Iphone but who knows, if there is a jailbreak and unlock i will just cancel ATT after i get it and switch back to Tmobile and keep the Iphone. I have a way of not having to pay the cancel fee so its all good.
[HD2 General] scrizz:
It all depends on the coverage of your wireless carrier.

[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
I meant in my area, ATT is fastest.
[HD2 General] kntdookoo:
Im with you on this starkall. Im not going to get an iPhone but really cannot stand this damn HD2 anymore. Coming from a G1 which has flawless SMS and MMS and going to this where you have to repeat stupid steps just to type a message is killing me...I love the display, like winmo, but just cant live with this sms and cracking phone calls.

According to recent posts in the LEO non-tmo section HTC doesnt feel like its their problem. So probably no fix for it unless its replaced completely or Win 7 is ported soon.

I have an HTC incredible for my work phone and everytime i pick that back up for emailing, sms or just straight web browsing im more disappointed with the HD2..Im not one of those " F^#K WinMo, android rules" people. I actually haven't used the winmo os since back on my TMO dash. I really like it and see huge potential with some of these devs...But basic sms..come on meow.
[HD2 General] scrizz:
yeah Ima pick up a nexus one not an iPhone.
[HD2 General] oquien:
I'm using an HD2 on AT&T right now. EDGE isn't bad on it; it's definitely manageable for most websites. Only downside is that YouTube is pretty much a no go.
[HD2 General] starkall:
Nexus ones are nice, i had one, but they still arent as smooth as an iphone, i honestly dont care what operating system the phone has, ill use WinMo android or Iphone but i just like how the iphone is perfect when you are messaging, scrolling and just using the phone in general, if they could make the HD2 to be like an iphone in terms of the perfect touch responsiveness and all around useability i would have kept it. Its pretty damn retarded that you have to sit and tweak **** and flash this and flash that to try and make the phone run decent when it still is no where near of how it should be straight outta the box like an Iphone is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Well I want to start off by saying that I've rooted my N1 and tried several cooked roms including CM's and the Modaco version. I keep searching for a reason to use a custom rom. Every time I do, I end up reverting back to stock. I just don't get the purpose. I understand cooking Windows Mobile roms to get newer OS versions that included new features and stuff, and cooking in new updated apps... I've searched and searched looking for some solid reason to stay on a custom rom, but I can't find one.

The Nexus One is just awesome and pretty clean as it is out of the box. It seems like when I use a cooked rom, it's more bloated then stock and I "try" to make it work as my stock rom did, with same apps and homescreen setup (I like Launcher Pro/Dialer One). I know some of the roms include "newer kernels" which I'm guessing is like a newer build but I don't see anything really that "pops" out. I understand rooting the device to gain full access to the system. But you can root a stock rom.

I also understand porting different systems like Desire/Hero/whatever. But aside from cosmetics, rooting, overclocking, and undervolting... why use a custom roms?

And mods, I've searched and searched, and read and read, I've seen the stickies. I'm looking for specifics.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergodzilla:
I think you summed it up pretty well. cosmetics, rooting, overclocking, and undervolting.

For me, custom roms is worth it JUST for trackball wake up, and unlock, on the nexus. I hated having to use the power button way at the top.

For some, its so you can use an entirely open source phone, free from proprietary google apps.

The great chefs put a ton of thought into all the additions they use, create, and implement. Things that save battery life, improve user experience, or fix bugs / quirks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
There isn't a huge demand for ROM's for the N1 because we're at the forefront of Android right now. We're the one's with 2.2. We have flash. Everyone else is getting ports of what we get stock. This will continue for the foreseeable future, until Google selects another handset to be its in-house testing model, or launches Nexus Two/Dev Phone 4 (counting N1 as 3). Once we're obsolete, then, and only then, will you see the modding community pick up and you'll see big reasons to go with custom ROM's.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
CM has the latest android code that is publically availalble. (He just synced code today). The little features that are missing are enough for me. Things like invisible lock screen, to the newly added gestures in the music app(great for driving).

If you're not a tweaker by nature then stock OS code will suffice. Me? I can't get enough of the new little things that add up to an overall great package.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yea that makes sense.

I just feel that custom roms are more bloated then stock. I've been looking into trying one of the "Super Clean OC/UV Rooted" roms. But then again I think the stock OS is just the Bee's Knee's.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What is "bloated"?

There are zillions of reasons for custom ROMs, visual and functional:

Apps2SD

USB and WiFi tethering

Locales

OpenVPN

Dropbear, Bash, etc (better Linux experience)

Trackball colors, notifications

Torch (using flash LED as flashlight)

Deep system options made visible / changeable, lots of customization options

Most of Froyo features were implemented in custom ROMs way before Froyo test build.

My setup is VERY far from stock. And I use everything mentioned above. I can't even move to Froyo, because I need Apps2SD to work - overloaded with big apps.

I think that's a great reason..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
No reason why you can't use Cyanogen's Quick Root + Pershoot's OC/UV Kernel on FroYo to benefit from rcxquake's wonderful modded Flash .apk and watch Hulu. It's obviously not quite as complete as CM 5.0.x (desperately missing trackball wake), and despite having root for some reason I still can't rm -f and pm uninstall com.amazon.mp3.apk from adb shell, but it gets almost everything done for me. The main thing that made FroYo live-able for me was the addition of ogdobber's Black Bar, which I had gotten very used to on CM5. That said, I can't wait for a CM flavor of FroYo...
