Soundwire

There's an app in google store called 'soundwire', that's a solution. It streams any sound from a notebook over wifi to an android device. Anyway I'm looking for the same kind of app which uses bluetooth for that. Would b nice not to have to use a router to stream sound from computer's sound card to my android phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
I can't believe this isn't standard. This is the kind of tech that makes people smile and isn't impossible with the DLNA standard. Anyway, just crazy that this isn't out there and all over the place.

I'm in the same boat and want to clarify things a bit.

There are two vastly different things here. One is a bluetooth wireless music adapter (bridge) and the other is a DLNA capable server/client that plays from the server to the client but is server controlled.

Bluetooth is fine, but short ranged and crappy sound quality. We all already have wireless in our houses and Apple does this perfectly fine with the AirPlay, so why are we interested in bluetooth?

Most DLNA servers run and have media on them, then you connect a client which has the speakers and play from that client, streaming the audio to the client. we want a way to stream from a device (server) to a client, but that is server controlled, almost like pushing music to another device.

looks like AirBubble might be on the way there as are some others that set up an AirPlay speaker connection. Now we just need to find an app that will search for these AirPlay speakers and use them for out audio instead of the build-in speakers or headphone.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

okay got this working, mostly.

The apps I'm using are:

AirPlay/DLNA Receiver which is the receiver to connect to the speakers and

Twonky Mobile which streams your media to the receiver.

Basically set up your Android device and plug in the cable to your stereo or headphones. Start the AirPlay/DLNA receiver. Then use the Twonky app to stream whatever is in your other Android device to the receiver. After setting it up Twonky should find your other device and let you stream to it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdneilson:
Pulse Audio is not a piece of dlna software. Pulse Audio is an audio subsystem of Linux, an alternate to the subsystem in Android. Pulse Audio has the native capability to broadcast lag-free audio for free across a number of connections.

Dlna is more just a file sharing protocol. It certainly can be used to play music files across a network, but it isn't nearly as capable as pa (pa sends pure audio over a connection and costs nothing to either system).

There are some dlna clients that integrate pa for a well-rounded media solution, but they are fat from one in the same.

my gf has two entries in my phone book; her name, and also ICE (in case of emergency). but whenever I get a call it comes up as ice,. is there a way to control this behaviour?

[Desire General] adjei7:
Go to your gf's contact with both numbers displayed, press and hold the one you want as the default number. When the option menu comes up select 'set as primary number' option.

That should work.
[Desire General] patp:
ah, no, other way round. Same number, two contacts. ice always comes up but I want her to come up instead.

I had this too - does her the first letter of her name start after "I"? You might be able to change her name to "A"+ her name ??? :cool:
[Desire General] patp:
No, her name begins with A already! For some reason ICE always wins.
[Desire General] MadMic:
weird! Is ICE all in caps? Try changing it to lower case???

hey guys,

I'm running as superlite weight rom and I'm only adding the functions I want to save space.

So far everything is great expect I'd like to use the htc messaging with iphone today.

Is there a CAB that I can install to give me htc messaging on a rom with no sense??

It would have to have a program installed in the program folder so i can link it.

any ideas guys??

cheers in advance :)
[G1 General] solar_burn:
I just spent many grueling hours updating my stock, Android 1.5, Pre Rogers Radio update, Rogers Dream EBI1 to CyanogenMod.

After fimalising the last step in the Cyanogen guide, the phone loops the X logo from CyanogenMod. It says it takes up to 15 minutes to boot the first time... This has looped for more than15 minutes. (Using AmonRA recovery RA-dream-v1.7.0R)

Note I did nothing about partitioning my SD card as it was not mentioned in the CyanogenMod guide.

What did I do wrong? Should I nand Restore? Can I not Nandrestore someone else's working recovery?

Thank You

Miguel

please.. please be careful if you decide you need to flash 'danger', it can 'brick' your phone
[G1 General] solar_burn:
I flashed the SPL in the Cyanogen guide which I assume is the danger SPL.

I found a guide on the cyanogen forum with the sane problem I had. I am currently in the midst of trying their solution.

This is what they say to do:

Full Wipe

full repartition. Swap/Ext2/Fat32.

upgraded from ext2 to ext3.

upgraded from ext3 to ext4.

shut down the phone.

I removed the SD card and put the zip files back on from my computer.

Put the SD card back in the G1 and booted into recovery.

flashed the CM5.0.8 update,

flashed the GApps file.

Then rebooted.

I will post my findings!

Thanks for the reply!
[G1 General] solar_burn:
Didn't seem to work, I'm hanging at the Rogers Logo now.

PS I am using the SPL 1.33.2005...

Should I try using the Hard SPL? Different Recovery?

[General Topics] Biffy:
I'm off on holiday soon and would like to take my phone to the beach with me. As I'm not happy leaving it on it's own on the beach while I have fun in the sea, I'm wondering about taking it in with me! With some protection of course...

So I'm thinking of getting a plastic freezer bag with a silica sachet and putting the phone in that and tying a knot. Then buying a specialist waterproof bag and putting the phone / bag inside that. Then with the cord of the bag, I'd attach it to my shorts and put it in a closable pocket.

Seems to me quite a 'watertight' plan!

Are there any issues I should be aware of with condensation etc., any other risks etc?

And does anyone know how water will affect the phone microwaves? Don't want them being amplified or something and starting to cook me like a poached egg.
[General Topics] lufc:
It sounds like a good water tight plan but still a big big risk anything could happen whilst you are in the water but i do see your point, at the end of the day its up to you and the phones are not very condensation friendly :)
[General Topics] mercianary:
Stick it in a condom. Wash it first so your phone don't get greasy. Tie a knot in the top and cut of the excess.

Freezer bags spit easily at the seams.

Depending on the type of touch screen you have it may not work through the rubber.

Just don't let anyone see you doing it. They will laugh and point and you will never hear the end of it.

The best tip I found is:

Do not take your expensive HTC device to the beach/pool, instead take that ugly old nokia you have and bring it...:D

Our blackstones have half the processing power of HD2 and in sense 2.5 roms of even the rhodium or topaz port when you have quicklinks set and weather animation turned on. the clock flip becomes very choppy when weather is being animated.

In cookie home tab editor there is an option which disables both 1:02 flip of the clock as well as minute flips and makes it like Sense UI of android like clock.....

Can anyone share with us a way to completely disable clock flipping without adding cookie home tab.....:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] huizhihai:
Disable 01:02 clock flip in Manila 2.1 and 2.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonefour:
That only disables the initial clock flip when reverting to home tab. It doesn't disable the clock flip that occurs each minute.

I would also like to know if there is an available patch for the minute-only flip , like how Cookie's Home Tab has it, without having to install CHT+editor.

Hey all developers :)

I'v started a small site which i hope will grow fast :)

I'm offering all developers free hosting for your ROM's on my server.

romn****.info.

I got several developers interested and signed up already and im working on better design at the moment.

It has high speed and unlimited bandwidth and lots of storage.

All developers has unlimited storage so no worries about that.

Any interest?

Send me a pm :)

ask questions here and let me know what you think of this in this topic??

what about using dropbox?

it's site with 2G free space which easly could be used as exchange box for developers, like for usual users...

nice feature is direct downloading to sd card in android client, so you don't have to download rom with desktop browser and then send it to phone ;) download, reboot to rescue, flash, be happy ;)

try my referral link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTcwMTc5NDA5 which would add me some space above that 2G for free ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
I'm just offering a service :)

Its good speed, lots of storage, not limited as dropbox is.

And i offer own personal website for each developer if they want.

And im trying to have many roms at one place.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Dropbox has issues when you have a lot of people using your public links, which I had through only hosting a little radio ROM.

God knows how they'd cope with me hosting ROMs there. I might upload a few and see ;)

But a good and generous offer from the OP

IPv6 support & ROM torrents?

Getting IPv6 support for your site & creating torrents of ROMs may certainly help you with site performance & creating a niche for yourself. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
we are looking into this and we will see what happens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
A cautionary note...

If sites like this proposed ROM hosting site do proliferate it will become even more important for all ROM releases to have an MD5 sum posted in a place other than on the ROM hosting site.

It is not beyond imagination that phone software could be maliciously compromised at source. Then where would we all be?

But, to be clear, I cast no aspersions on this particular cove making this current hosting offer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That is in fact very true, and should be done on all occasions for any ROM release. Passwords get cracked, hosting sites get compromised etc. so it's a good idea :)

I have an auto md5 script somewhere I use on villainrom.co.uk, and i dont think it was too hard to make. Maybe these should be used more often
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
I believe the main obstacle is to establish a secure and reliable repository for the ROM checksums. If that will be available, I don't think responsible ROM developers will have problems with using it, one by one - especially if the more popular ROMs will join the effort.

.... meanwhile you've made no response to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719113#8

Just how are you going to ensure the security and integrity of ROMs entrusted to you? How am I, as a punter, going to know whether your site is to be trusted or if someone on your site, (or from outside even) has tampered with the ROM I'm downloading?

You cannot ignore these issues and just hope they'll go away. Just how are you going to manage the risks? Tell us please!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Had an idea or two, which I am looking into soon :)

It would be totally external to this site. I am looking into encryption stuff just now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Just my two cents;

On Villainrom.co.uk we already run md5 checks when we push out files, and we sync the mirrors often, and it will check each file when it does. Any files that does not match the one we have locally will be deleted and reuploaded.

For complete control its important that people check the md5sums. This will not only let them know they got the correct rom but also that their download was not corrupted.

One thing we are looking into is a rom downloader. We would distribute a small .exe file that would download the rom from our mirrors and then verify the downloaded file against the sha1/md5 we have on file, before making the file available to the user. This would be optional.

Btw there is an inherent risk in installing custom roms in the first place.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
One thing also that would work is to make a updated list in a thread with checksums for current ROMs so its easy to check here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
Oh that what it was about was it?

But you having a script on the backend of your site to allow you to compute and display checksums won't work for me.

But that could work.

Mmm.... That's what the policy on paper might be... the actuality is a bit different. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715728&page=6#60 And the question was raised by someone else on the villain site without much response.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
And what's to stop the thread being edited? Look, you probably see me as a nuisance just making trouble for you. I assure you I'm not. If you want a workable business to provide income - and I guess that's your motivation for this - you need to think long and hard about security. Maybe Androids are 'safe' right now... but next week or next month? It won't be long before the bad guys are seeking to look over my shoulder when I use my Android to check my bank account or make a flight booking with my credit card. At the moment I 'trust' developers with a track record in this forum and assume that released ROMs are pulled apart and scrutinized by other teams. That aids my security.

With your planned site, a ROM could be released, scrutinized by other developers on release, but a week later altered by someone adding some malevolent code to the ROM. If I can imagine it then someone is probably planning to do it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm pretty sure that one was addressed somewhere. I can't remember where, but I remember seeing that the file was updated since there was a fix shortly after release.

But I'm thinking of something better than just a script on the site. I'm talking about a public-key verifiable list of MD5 sums. Need to look into it a bit more.

But TBH I think a bit much emphasis is being placed on this. I work in IT security, and have to say that whilse caution is always good, really the only way to be safe is to make the ROM yourself, compiled from AOSP, and sift each line of source code manually.

But yeah, all OTA updates ARE md5'd and issued, as mcduck actually made that code :)

I'm embedding this for releases too soon ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
On the contrary - there has been *too little* emphasis (if any at all) placed on providing a way for users to make sure that what they're downloading is what the developer released. This might work while the whole "scene" is still a relatively small target, but as ROMs here are of quite high quality, and the install procedures are getting simpler and simpler, it will attract more and more people, making it more attractive target for The Bad Guys(tm).

Therefore introducing both the infrastructure and user mindset for downloads' integrity verification as soon as possible will save everyone lot of headaches further down the road. I appreciate the effort of people working on this.

We're not talking about trusting the ROM developer here - that is a completely different matter, and it will always be up to every user to decide whether or not to trust a particular developer. This is about protection from unauthorized modification of released ROM packages. In open source world it's happened often enough in the past.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. I see the point about protecting the ROM against unauthorised after-market modifications.

The case of the IRC server which was compromised on loads of mirrors reminds people of this.

So here we go... I propose this. Here is a signed release checksum for VillainROM 12. Download the attached zip file and verify using GPG after extracting.

My public key is

Key-ID:
4E36A73B

which you can obtain from the GPG keyserver.

And it uses my email address, which most people will know from the villainrom site (I won't post it here, as it will get picked up by crawlers, but it's available in my profile over there, and soon to be over here)

Happy?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hansmrtn:
I believe this site is good enough for my use with EzHero. I have been testing it out and it is fairly good really, not always the most stable though but fast, I do think some security features could be added though. Other than that, I think this is great for the community :)

Keep up the good work

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
GPG would probably be the best option for any kind of encrypted signatures, as it is FOSS and platform independent.

BTW @All, let me know if you actually use the signature, as I'd be interested to see if it works or not, as I haven't tested it yet, though I did make sure the public key downloads properly on another PC.

But personally, I am content with publishing an MD5 on villainrom.co.uk for ROMs I work on, but perhaps signed MD5sum files will make people sleep better at night?

But remember that you should still inspect a ROM before installing it, if you don't know of or trust the dev. Nothing against new devs, but anyone can turn up and make one ROM, and disappear without a trace after installing a keylogger to the HTC_IME or something silly like that. So it pays to check critical parts of a ROM very carefully...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hansmrtn:
I have been doing that lately, before I even release to the public I download it, compare everything that was on my rom on my computer. I was worried to lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
