Dolby mobile is baked in the rom correct? That is probably assisting the great audio
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgi0wn:
So is there any way to use the FLAC codec on a normal sense rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterbrown77:
While Dolby Mobile is an option on the rom, i dont think it functions. I have never gotten that or the srs enhancer working. I do agree, something is different, and has been even before he added dsp manager. I think they just improved the driver. Which suprises me that it works with our hardware. As, to the settings in the music app, im starting to think our phones dont support it. but the improved sound with dsp manager is pwnage...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
This is the correct answer. What happens when a .mp3 is stored is it get compressed to save space and increase transfer rate. Then once the processor gets it it decodes it where as flac doesn't compress then uncompress. This all happens between memory and speaker output.

As a lossless scheme, FLAC is also a popular archive format for owners of CDs and other media who wish to preserve their audio collections. If the original media is lost, damaged, or worn out, a FLAC copy of the audio tracks ensures that an exact duplicate of the original data can be recovered at any time. An exact restoration from a lossy archive (e.g., MP3) of the same data is impossible.

FLAC being lossless means it is highly suitable for transcode e.g. to MP3, without the normally associated transcoding quality loss.

A CUE file can optionally be created when ripping a CD. If a CD is read and ripped perfectly to FLAC files, the CUE file allows later burning of an audio CD that is identical in audio data to the original CD, including track order, pregaps, and CD-Text. However, additional data present on some audio CDs such as lyrics and CD+G graphics are beyond the scope of a CUE file and most ripping software, so that data will not be archived.

Transcoding is the direct digital-to-digital conversion of one encoding to another. This is often done in cases where a target device does not support the format or has limited storage capacity that mandates reduced file size, or to convert incompatible or obsolete data to a more supported or modern format. Transcoding is commonly a lossy process, introducing generation loss; however, transcoding can be lossless if the input is losslessly compressed and the output is losslessly compressed or uncompressed. The process of lossy to lossy conversion introduces varying degrees of generation loss. In other cases, the transcoding of lossy to lossless or uncompressed is technically a lossless conversion because no information is lost, however the process is irreversible and is more suitably known as destructive.

Hope this helps!

no devs have figured this out?

i somehow got this to work. i copied and pasted probably a dozen or so different files from the Desire HD rom to the Virtuous rom i am running and my volume is now noticeably louder. i did a simple test with an SPL meter to confirm this, so it is legit. i wish i knew what file it was that actually did this so that i can apply this to another rom if i ever decide to switch things up.

nobody has any idea what file on the phone controls the volume output through the 3.5mm jack?

and just to clarify, its not just overall volume. its sound quality in general too. things just sound more dynamic and alive even at lower volumes. it's really a shame that this hasn't been discovered or realized by more people because really it is a pretty noticeable difference. i'd like to get the word out and get this figured out because i think this should be part of every rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgi0wn:
I would definitely like to know what files are the ones that allowed for you to get the improved audio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonb1985:
i really have no idea what did it. i moved over about a dozen files all at the same time and i don't remember which ones they were. i really wish somebody with some android Dev experience would see this, hence the reason i put it in the development section originally.

[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
So far on 3g I've never broken 1000kbps. yes thats kbps.

I just ran a few speed tests again.

5 out of 6 bars.

3 tests run.

Highest download speed: 26 yes TWENTY SIX kbps.

Upload was the normal 147.

IS THIS THE ENHANCED 3g/4g experience I'm paying for?!?
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Sprint 3G sucks pretty badly compared to AT&T and T-Mobile. I've seen AT&T phones get over 1500kbps way more often than not.

With my phone I consistently get under 1000kbps with good signal areas giving me over 1300kbps and up to 2000kbps if I'm lucky.
[Epic 4G General] greengoldmello:
Yeah, this was one of the major disappointments of coming from tmobile with 2-6mbps dls and not realizing how slow cdma 3g data was..probably the main reason im getting the g2 soon.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
Ha, I just got 592 down and 87 up.

Honestly, though, my house sucks for signal quality. My AT&T phones could barely even make a call out of here. My Epic sounds basically like a land line in comparison. But yeah, data speeds suck. It's not the Epic's fault.

Luckily I have wi-fi at home and at work and I'm in a 4G area otherwise.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
You're comparing 2 gsm providers with a cdma provider. Cdma is not real 3g, so their gsm speeds are always better...personally sprint gives me the best service of verizon, usc, or att. My data speeds with sprint are twice what I ever saw with vz and I never had att 3g serviceat home, had to drive into town.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
98 down and 111 up. I upgraded from a Hero that didn't ever drop below 300 up or down.

:-/
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
My phone rarely drops below 600dl. One of the places I work I get decent speed at 1700 down (still upload capped). The 1 time I got no upload cap, my phone must have been downloading an update from Sprint (DI07) cause I got prompted to install it shortly afterwards. This has to account for something... I'll patiently wait for the fix though as I love the phone and rarely upload anything. E-mails still send fine (no pics, just text for work).

The title really says it all - If I use a custom ROM like Cognition for example, do I lose the ability to freely use the ~20,000 (their claim) at&t wifi hotspots? I believe the stock ROM has wifi access info hard coded - Not sure if ROM creators managed to port that over... THanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:

Hey guys, I have been trying to connect my Sony Laptop to my Panasonic 42" Viera HDTV. I put the HDMI cable into the TV and then into my computer and turned my computer on. Yet I haven't gotten any audio or video on the TV. Audio doesn't play out of the computer either.

I tried going to the "Windows Mobility Center" and it says the displays are connecting and it is projecting. Yet I don't get anything on the TV :mad:. I turned "monitor out" to off. Other than that I haven't found any other setting to fix this. Below I have the cable that I'm using from amazon.

I'm not sure where else to turn. You guys here have always helped me. Any words of wisdom? :) Im about to go crazy. Thanks!

You're right it did sound silly haha.

But I pressed the FN key plus the F7 key which has a picture of a LCD box with a arrow going to another box. It gave me the option have LCD only, HDMI only, both or none.

After two and a half hours of searching I finally found it...

It still needs some fine tuning in the Display settings. Any suggestions?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rome8721:
I switch from Verizon 3g to Sprint 3g on a daily basis due to lack of sprint service in my home area. My goal is to eliminate the process of nandroid restore and implement this hack on CM6 only.

I understand CM6 doesnt support the EPST.apk. So my plan is to some how get my phone into Diag mode via adb shell so i can manually write the PRL file.

I found a script on this thread (post 600) that shows how to do it on an HTC Hero, but no luck on the Evo. Script looks like this

echo 1>/dev/qct_diag_enable

Does anyone know how to enable Diag mode without using epst.apk (##diag#) on an HTC evo?

Another possible solution to my problem would be, to figure out how to unhide nam2 settings on my EVO. I understand that the HTC Hero has an option to switch Nam's. If this was possible on the Evo i would copy all my settings from nam1 and place them on nam2 while calling the proper PRL file to enable verizon 3g in my home area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseone:
Lets start with the most obvious question... did you go back into settings in the messaging app and enable vibrations for new message notifications? The default is to not use vibrations for anything and it would have reverted to defaults when you applied the update I think, although I'm not familiar with jf7_update.zip.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erlern:
Hi guys,

I know this is not a G1/Dream question, but I believe the best developers are in this area. I am about to get my hands on a new Mi700 DroidPad, a budget Android Tablet, with Android 2.2. I wrote a review which was picked up at Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/csls-500-spice-mi700-droidpad-runs-froyo-looks-awfully-famili/. The software as I can perceive it so far is problematic (slightly buggy). Since this is a new device (and I have checked for any development efforts from the Net and found none so far), I was wondering what I should do in order to:

1) Root the device

2) Dump the ROM

In regards to rooting the device, I was thinking since it shares the same CPU as the Aria and Legend (MSM7227), can I just use the one-click root method? I will try that, but would like to know alternatives if that fails.

On dumping the ROM, well... I have no idea what can be done, but would love to try doing it, so that Flash can run on it. At the moment, though it is on 2.2, Flash does not appear in the Market.

Anyway, thanks a lot guys. If anyone can help clarify the matter or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Btw, I'm trying to arrange with CSL to give developers some discount on purchasing this device which is equal in functionality with Samsung's Tab, without the crazy pricing.

Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] falcon758:
hello fellows,

I'm new in here and i have just two question to ask you about my mobile phone,that is an Huawei G6600.From what i heard,this mobile phone is using android operating system,so i hope that is correct.So the first thing i need to know is that how can i make it possible to see the system files from my phone through my pc.

The second question is somehow related to the first one,because what i pretend to do is to find someway to edit the mobile radio application that is on the mobile and increase the limit frequency allowed on the application.

Can someone teach me a way to do this?

Thank you in advance

ok i dont test this one yet becuase im on J15...but is realy safe no worry feel free to try i have more data like accuracy need to be set a 50.... AGPS_mode=0,...position_mode=7.......NUM of FIX=999999999 Enable_NMEA=false

STEPS

1 - Disable "Use Wireless Networks" - Settings / Location & Security

2 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*

3 - Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to STANDALONE

4 - Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to lbs.geo.t-mobile.com and port 7275 [ Do not use www., do not use supl]

5 - REBOOT

6 - Turn back on the "User Wireless Networks" (I am not sure about this should work with out it try both ways)

7 - Praise God

THank you so much XDA-developers. EUGENE....FRANKENCAT...BOODIES....AND others that work realy hard to make this possible (teaching us and let us play wiht or phones:D)

----------------------------------------------------------------

PS - If you need to get back to default here are the specs

DEFAULT - OPERATION MODE - Standalone

Server - www.spirent-lcs.com

Port - 7275

PORT: 7275
[Vibrant Android Development] southplatte:
Thanks!

To the OP - Thanks!

Was moments away from flashing a j15 with Odin, found this thread, figured to try it.

Followed to the T and now:

Inside my house, 12 sats, 4 locked, TTFF/TTF: 2 seconds Accuracy 4.87 meters

Ran the Performance test in the lbsTestMode screen, Average TTF 1766ms

Loaded Google Maps - locked on in seconds, accurate too. Other location based apps are now working. Sometimes inside it will take up to 30-40 seconds to lock, but hey, I'm inside right!

Will test the navigation/movement to see how it does on the move tomorrow and post back results.

So far, short of the j15 solution, none of the other lbsTestMode or other solutions have worked. I had a completely DEAD GPS prior to this - I could not lock on even after setting in the GPS test for 10+ minutes, no lock. Now seems good!

Thanks again!

WTF?!

Aren't we supposed to find an update.zip here with the GPS files separated from the new JI5 release? I hardly beleive that simple fiddling with GPS settings can solve anything vithout the new drivers/libs/config files.

Does anyone take care creating that update.zip for fellow SGS owners?
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
Um, I'd like to 2nd this wtf. This is not a "fix," all this changes are the settings for the SUPL server. From previous GPS threads, it's very clear that SUPL servers rarely matter. JI2 is what fixed the GPS for the majority of the people here. Changing from Standalone to MS-Based will usually significantly decrease lock time from a cold start (some have other side effects). Changing SUPL servers has almost no consistent impact.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
yeah definitely, all the roms after JI2 have a much much improved GPS. That's what you probably want to do. And that's why I updated my own GPS FIX 101 thread to reflect that.
[Vibrant Android Development] compi_hu:
Are the gps related files in JI5 the same as in JI2? If not, definitely can be some improvement compared to JI2 which did not improve GPS noticeably on my i9000 JM1/2
[Vibrant Android Development] jymmyblanka:
Yes this settings are from JI5
[Vibrant Android Development] distortedloop:
Sure, why not? GPS on several other devices works indoors. Just depends on how much of a faraday cage your house is and how good a receiver the device has. GPS works with radio waves, not optical. ;)

4 - Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to lbs.geo.t-mobile.com and port 7275 [ Do not use www., do not use supl]

Is that a 'i' or a 'L'?

EDIT: I used the settings (with Lbs) and I had about 3 times the time it took to lock than the regular fix with msbased instead of standalone, infact I am having a much harder time with this setting. I went back to Msbased and port 7276 and had a lock in under 20seconds.

PS: I just flashed the GPS files from the JI5 release and so far the best GPS fix to date for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] jymmyblanka:

[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
This is a basic public awareness notice: What LCD density does and its drawbacks (the why it does what it does is not addressed b/c I have no clue).

We've all seen or heard about changing the lcd density property in /system/build.prop (and why it is better to edit this through the text editor via root explorer rather than use an app which is shown to be unstable). However, as most of us who have messed with it along with additional rows and columns on the home screens via Launcher Pro and ADW, the big problem is icon overlap or crowding.

Why is this?

I'm still trying to figure out how exactly a LOWER value of LCD Density results in a DENSER display. It doesn't make sense to me. However, it is inescapably linked to letting android keep a 4x4 display as SQUARES for each icon "block". Decrease the # and those squares get tighter width-wise. I'm just not certain then how it works with varying the # of rows and columns.

HOWEVER, in order to prevent overlap, the screen NEEDS to be in 4x4 with an LCD density of 240. That is, to keep the blocks square.

Otherwise, prepare to tweak and fiddle with your homescreens so your icons and icon text don't resemble scrambled mush, and what looks good in portrait won't necessarilly look good or the widgets won't be the same size in landscape. And vice versa.

So, like many other things, fiddling with this property (while cool.... I've finally settled for an lcd density of 210 with homescreens rocking in 6x6 using launcher pro plus) there are trade-offs.

Be aware, and have fun tweaking your settings.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] benclayton:
Have you found anyway to avoid the slight blurring of Ui elements when not set to the default density?
