Can some of us tweak with Microphone volumes and suggest a good one for normal use (can we use high like 62?) and for noisy environment like windy areas, concerts?

I appreciate the participation. I will try some and post my results.

Same problem here!

Hello! I too get a "Signature Verification Failed" when I try to apply the update.zip on Froyo Jp6. Is there a solution to this? Is there a way to sign the .zip using android SignApk maybe?

Thank!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yiannos_p:
... By the way, I could not find a way to bypass the signature verification error. Tryied signing it again using testsign.jar, but no chance.

BUT! What i did in the end is extracted the .zip pretty much did what the "updater-script" (META-INF/com/google/android) does. I pushed the contents of system/lib and system/bin to /sdcard/ using adb push, and then used adb shell to move libasound.so to /system/lib and alsa_amixer, alsa_aplay, alsa_ctl to /system/bin.

I think this does the trick...

I will do some testings too.

With this widget I have the PERFECT phone now.

I think I should re-brand my phone. I have a XDA Galaxy S. No trace of any samsumg crap
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] droidTR:
the problem is FROYO using 3e Recovery which you cannot use unsigned update.zip files.. so what you can do is search forums for "2e Recovery" for your version.. or Clockwork Recovery.. then you will be able to do it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gadhou:
i need your help guys. i'm using z4mod kernel, z4root and z4mod. i tried to flash the mixget's update.zip but everytime i download the alsa and flash thru recovery, it still shows on mixget's 2nd tab for alsa settings that i need to download the update_mixget.zip although i've already downloaded it and applied thru update.zip. i was able to use this when i was using zenkin's ya-ok, please verify if this has the alsa.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cbdrift:
is there any way I can get the program to save its settings and restore them when I next load the program again - every time i load it - the settings are always set to -1.

Ive reset them every time and tried leaving it running or tried leaving it in the background - but it just wont remember the settings for me at all

is this something that might be fixable in future or....?

in any case - THANKS HEAPS FOR WHAT LETS ME DO COOL STUFF NOW!!! :)

Greatly appriciate your work - but like all ungratefull sods - I wish the free thing you so kindly gave us was cooler :P lol (flee's and tried to avoid the rock the admin is flinging this way)

thanks heaps - hope you keep developing it in future if your interested :)

I upgraded to JP7 and I'm already contemplating going back to stock JP2

just so I can get this app working again. I can't hear a single tune on

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nbinvincible:
I am getting the same issue.

<Speculate>A permissions problem maybe?</Speculate>

I'll also add some encouragement:

This has the potential to become one of the key Apps for Galaxy S users, in the same class as the Lagfixs.

It may make it practical to use my phone on Railway Stations. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dwallersv:
Me too.

Some other related behavior I've noticed: While listening to the music player, if I get a phone call, the Alsa boost will be reset after the call is finished and music resumes. Going into MixGet while the music is playing, all the Alsa settings are back to -1, and the "auto apply alsa volume" checkbox is no longer checked. Changing the Alsa Headset slider increases boost in real time while I'm listening, and it stays that way until something resets it again.

Also, Alsa settings don't have any effect on the stock Samsung video player, even though it's supposed to work, right?

After setting Alsa, then switching to a video (no boost :sad), and then going back and looking in MixGet at the Alsa settings, everything's reset again.

So, I have very limited benefit from this -- enough to make it worth using, but where I really really really need it is in the video player.

To summarize, something resets and causes the Alsa settings to be forgotten under a variety of conditions. The three I've found so far are booting, a phone call, or running the video player.

I'm running Syndicate ROM with the Lucy Extreme kernel (Eclair) and Emotionless Beast theme on the Epic 4G.

The weird thing is, I swear all of the above failing were working the first time I installed Alsa and MixGet. Then, because of a different problem, I wiped the phone clean and reinstalled fresh. I have the behavoir now described above. To be clear, I'm not sure it ever worked -- just have this nagging itch in the back of my mind that is was working.

All these failure conditions seem to be closely related, and likely one thing fixes it.

Gilsken, I think I sent you some beer money. I'd send you another six-pack if you can solve this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] specr1:
I followed the ALSA stuff a while back and there was a problem, when you would receive a call or text the volume played for the notification through the headphones is way louder than the music and you would have to quickly pull the headphones in order to prevent going deaf.

Does that still happen with this app?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ichijoe:
This +1

This App even at the cost of having to root the Device, which was something I had to get to sooner or later. :rolleyes:

This App pretty much does what it says on the Tin, and I can finally hear my Music and to a lesser degree my Videos too.

Seems like nothing wants to stick 'round on this App and if your not careful those Settings get reset back to stock. (i.e. During, and after an Incoming Phone Call).

I find if I start up me Music Player (Stock Galaxy S), then go to Mixget and switch to Alsa (again setting everything back to 100%), then switching to the Stock Video Player (Again Galaxy S), that the settings ~seem~ to stick till I return back to the Home Screen where they again default.

I'm currently running an otherwise Stock GingerBread 2.3.3 ROM, via a rooted CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS Kernel?

I would love to know how to make this as permanent a fix as possible.

Hi all

I would like to know how to delete the app2sd option in the .zip of villainRom 12.0.

i don't use it, and would like to have a more "light" file.

I tried to delete the "data" repertory, sign the rom, but can't flash

Thx in advance for help
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.japonica:
just remove your ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0rner:
You can remove/disable app2sd by removing the following file:

/system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabulous691:
so if i delete this file, i can too delete the data repertory, containing all the app2sd elements isn't it?

Thx for your help !!

edit: i deleted the file in /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd and the data repertory , and during the flash, the phone said me can't chown "data" etc repertory....

it seems i must delete another thing to tell to the phone that there is no missing repertory...but which one..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkelley:
Why? It's built into the kernel that was custom developed for the rom.

There is no notable overhead or space that you can recover. I can't think of any legitimate reason to remove it that would benefit your user experience.

If you simply want to learn how to do it though speaking as a developer who's learning how to build your own rom, maybe it would be easier to look at a less customized rom than vr12.

Does someone know where the developer docs for apps2sd are for this person to get his answer from?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabulous691:
hi dkelley

the problem is that in the data/app directory, the applications dont want to install them if i dont have an ext2 partition

but i must let at least one app in this folder , because if not, he will deseapear automatically and during the flash, the phone will tell me that the "app" directory is missing..

and the application in the folder don't appear in the list of my apps, whereas that it should be installed on the internal memory..

I have try with root, sudo, check username, chmod the script, and it's same.
[Android Software Development] MartinEve:
Check the format of your path. It should be like this:

monitor_path = "~/.wine/drive_c/users/%s/Temp/" % username

This is because it won't extract to c:\Windows\Temp but to c:\Users\Username\Temp

Try leaving monitor path just as it was (but change the username)...

go and look for the Boot Menu in Windows directory on your device and click, and you will go to the boot menu! there you can change the type of rom, ram, and the page pool. You can change the amount of ram as ram devices possessed you, so also with page pool / / / watch out for this kind of rom you do not select the type R except the memory in your phone's 128 mb,,, it does not matter :cool::cool:

The ext extension. You need to do this with linux. Do I format with FAT only in ubunto or also one of the other format options? Thanks!

I downloaded and burned ubunto to a cd. Loaded it and formated the SD with FAT. I then re-booted windows and formated with regular windows format. I am now coping my backup to the SD. Were these the correct steps?

The card needs to be in fat 32 not just fat difference is file structures if you don't have a Windows machine you can format it on you Hd2 on windows mobile
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Johnsel:
This thread is one giant collection of bull**** :eek:

There is no "ext extension" unknown to windows, what you'll probably mean is a linux swap partition which isn't created on the sd card itself, it creates a virtual filesystem in a file.

There is only one correct way to optimally format your sd card, and that is in one partition with the FAT32 filesystem. How you accomplish this is up to yourself, any tool/OS is perfectly capable of doing that.

Please stop misinforming people!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jenol:
Now that shows your stupidity Linux swap is a swap file partition made by Linux which isn't visible on Windows either so stop trolling because apparently you don't know what your talking about go ahead fire up Windows and see if you can see the extensions partitions you won't then fire up Linux and there they are and yes I use Windows and Linux and MAC if you don't believe this ask any Dev on here and tell set you straight probably wouldn't answer you anyway since you don't know ****.

So, has anybody who has had problems before performing a format this way, have the issues gone away?

I don't have sod or anything. Just want to know if it helps anybody.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Johnsel:
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Your "ext extension" doesn't exist. What you mean is the ext2 formatted filesystem in which all Android system/userfiles reside. As i stated before they are not placed in a real partition on the SD card but in virtual filesystems inside files (like for example system.img,system.ext2,data.img,userdata.img) therefore formatting the physical partition on the sd card removes all traces from android.

Please do your research properly as your misinforming people, you're currently making them use ubuntu to repartition/format their SD card for no reason. It's just a matter of time before someone accidently wipes the wrong partition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
well I just downloaded ubuntu ready to install on a flash drive.... Should I not bother now or what?

I admittedly know jack sh1t about linux so I for one would appreciate someone "in the know" clearing this up for us....

Who is right? The OP or the new guy?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kdeguy:
Jenol, i have to go with johnsel here. please stop misinforming people. the fact that you call it an extention partition rather belies any experience you claim to have in linux.

there's no reason the card should have to be formatted using gparted or any other linux based tool. From what i can figure, the entire file structure is contained within the 512mb or 1gb data file thats created once its booted the first time. this resides as a file system image within the fat32 base structure that's addressed as one boots into android. its similar to running a virtual machine in allocated space from within windows.

at least thats my understanding. it could be faulty. but accessing the card in wm mode from windows clearly accounts for all of the disk space, used and unused. There could be a valid argument for formatting using linux if any partition space was unavailable while its in wm mode. Its not the case. As such, formatting with windows does indeed address the entire space in the card.

calling johnsel's stance invalid because he has a lower post count than you? what are you, 13?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kdeguy:
from within windows, if rightclicking and checking the properties of the card you can see the whole space (say 7.6gb when your card is "8gb" for example), then you don't have any "hidden" linux partitions, and its just fine to format the card using windows.

In fact its advisable you do it using windows; since formtting the card in fat32 format using gparted or fdisk or anything similar in linux sometimes give unexpected results when you boot back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkyFoxx:
I concur with Johnsel and kdeguy. I knew this thread was a bunch of bull after reading the first line. There is no partition, just a .ext2 file. It's great that you're getting people to use Ubuntu (I use that a BackTrack everyday), but reformatting your card using it makes no difference.... But what do I know... I'm a n00b with a low post count right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
Have to agree..the OP has no idea what he's talking about I'm afraid.

There's NO need to use Linux to format your sd card. You can use Windows, or the Format app on your HD2 to format the sd card for Android.

Ran a series of tests to see if this format method made any

difference in speeds or scores. Data chart below.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Carliz89:
Well not for me because everytime I formatted it on a windows PC it would create 2 partitions. Then I formatted it from windows mobile and it still didnt work. Then When I used disk utility on my Mac formatted it (FAT) then just made 1 partiton Android booted just fine. Maybe its just my SDCard
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Johnsel:
Aside from the fact we never discussed anything about SD card speed, the test results cannot indicate any difference in performance as your running your OS from the SD, therefore all results will slightly differ depending on the current OS usage (in particular; background processes).

To be clear, I'm perfectly fine with any of you trying this method to see if anything improves, I just don't want any "noobs" to start experimenting with a to them unknown OS on their partition tables with the risk of wiping their daily use HD because they think this method is proven and will magicly make all their phone-problems go away, as they don't.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] crowbarr:
I think that the OP may be using knowledge gained from rooting / running custom ROMs on an actual android device. I am the former owner of a MyTouch. In order to run any Sense enabled custom ROM, I had to partition my SD card as (FAT32, ext 2/3/4, and linux swap. The only thing the ext2/3/4 partition was any good for was installing apps to the SD card to save space in the device's internal memory. So I do believe the OP was wrong - just read one too many things he didn't equate properly maybe. The HD2 has enough internal memory and processor speed for running Android. No ext 2/3/4 or linux swap needed. And as for having people use Ubuntu / gparted to format / partition an SD card - you're just asking for trouble unless the person / people are well versed in that OS / program. Don't throw that stuff around lightly. - Just my $ .02.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
Easy Dude, I don't think anyone was talking to you

I certainly wasn't. I just posted the speed tests that I did to see if this method made any difference, and as you said, it didn't.
