[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerard:
Hello all,

In light of the recent congressional events regarding ("shhhh") downloaded music, I am now in the wanting to play it safe mode. At my age I have more too loose.

What I'm looking for is the best home to phone streaming app that does

not

also utilize web based streaming like Audiogalaxy and Subsonic. I am now using both of these but would like to see if there are any alternatives which...shall we say...'are more private'. Simply an app that does not require any website registration but only needs ones own IP to access music.

I would also welcome discussion on the legalities of steaming already downloaded music (home to phone).

Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.

Edit: Now trying Gmote. Can anyone recommend a better one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyingwolf:
Just use Grooveshark.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsweat:
if you have a daap server at home, say itunes or WDLXTV firmware, there is a simple daap client in the market that works well
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerard:
Thanks for the reply. After trying Gmote for a couple of days I've decided to ditch it. It tends to start/stop too much on a 3g network, and the UI is horrid. The daap server sounds interesting. If you could recommend one that will work on either XP or W7 I'll try that...assuming there is such an animal.

Is there any app to stream live radios station ?

I move from WM to Android, and I would like to know if there is any app to stream live radio station Wm normally use WMP, but android doesn't support Wmp

please if some one know something about it point me to the right direction.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
there are ways to use VLC to do it.

Have you tried Homepipe?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerard:
Not yet, have looked that one over a bit. Gmote lags too much on 3g so I'll try Homepipe next. Oh yea, and my Bucs almost came back on your Ravens last Sunday. :mad: If only Freeman had started his "famous" quick offense earlier.

@dsuare021979 For music streaming try:

Pandora (unlimited access is 36/year but has the best quality sound IMO.

A Online Radio (the "A" is part of the app name)

iheartradio

Last.fm
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsuare021979:
Thank you for the help, but none of them work with the radio station I normally stream

MEGA 97.9 NY. I hope we get an app like wmp soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerard:
Checked into Homepipe a bit more closely and it's another type that requires a website registration, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Gmote is what I'm looking for, but it's too buggy for me. Guess I'll keep looking but use Audiogalaxy in the meantime. I like Subsonic but on the EVO it has a tendency to repeat the first song all the time. Anyway, thanks for the input.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finsmaniac02:
Just a question to see if you know something that I don't... if you go through and Retag all of your mp3s there should be no real way to see where they came from... ripped from your own cds or otherwise.... at least that's my opinion. But maybe you know something that I don't?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerard:
My only experience with re-tagging is to get the files to look right in Audiogalaxy. I collect alot of "Greatest Hits" albums and most of the tracks each have their own album tag. I wish I knew the answer to your question for my own benefit. Anyone else?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboiii15:
which one the is the best rom????

virtous or cyanogen????!?!?!?!?!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Do you want sense? If so get virtuous.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
I use the recovery to dual-ROM between both. I like CyanogenMod's stability and the ability to overclock to 1.8Ghz on Virtuous.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciborg54:
I've been bouncing back and forth from the two since the g2 has been rooted and i respect both... virtuous is good only if u like sense ui. cm6 is faster and gives me fewer errors and runs more smoothly... i got launcher pro with the sense dock and it works just PERFECTLY
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuncaProfundus:
Its a matter of sense vs vanilla on 'roids lol. I have been using CyanogenMod since my G1. It's updated regularly and there is a huge community of people for any kind of issues you might have.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfadog77:
goo with cynogen it has a sexy boot up and its fast asssssss hell!!!!! theres less errors at i think you can get a Sense Theme with launcher pro i think
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboiii15:
thank you guys for all your help..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlatinumMOTO:
You can also get a sense theme with ADW I switch back and forth between LPP and ADW, both are equally good. Now the matter of Sense if you like big HUGE aesthetic visuals then go with Sense if you want more functionality go with CM.

I always used to like Sense back in the G1 days now I can't stand it. But I run Virtuous on one of my G2s and CM and my other one. I recommend you get lcddensity from the market and put CM on about anywhere from 170 -190 see how you like it, then try Sense on about 190 - 200 and see the difference. I will never go back to DPI at 240

but it's up to you...

also Sense has hibernate which is cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
Go with Virtuous.

It's just so sexy, and Virtuous actually detects my contacts on my SIM, while CM does not.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
Sense has quick bootup

2.5 seconds from power off state to on state.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboiii15:
alright ! thanks for the help! your the BEAST!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felixk87:
how do you get such a fast boot time?

Mine takes nearly a minute to turn on!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
it depends wether or not you want Sense or not. Cyanogen is still vanilla android with extra features. Virtuous is a port of Sense for the G2 from the DZ

also if i just found out that Cyan 6.1 hasa feature that changes the notification bar to black if thats one of you main likes of sense.

I am running Cyanogen 6.1 RC3 mainly because i love Vanilla Android and sense looks pleasant but feels more bloated.

just my 0$.02
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
i like sense ui but i prefer cm

if u like sense, go for virtuous
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
I just got my G2 today and have tried both CM6 and Virtuous. I think CM6 is a better daily driver. While Virtuous appeals to my go out on the weekend eyecandy phone. I like both.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Cipitio:
Well i have been running virtuous for 2 weeks now and i havent even thought about trying cyanogen yet since sense is so sexy and fast for me even though i havent overclocked it....no lag at all and just love the features they added for the desire z .... cyanogen is faster obviously but try virtuous....im sure u will love it

I am wanting to remove all the bloatware and whatever else the custom ROMs on here remove without installing a custom ROM...is that possible? if so, what are there?

I couldn't find a list on google for safe ones to remove/freeze
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Yes it is, you must be rooted but using Titanium Backup is the easiest way IMHO :)
[Droid 2 General] reinert012:
Yes I am rooted with Titanium backup pro and i have many apps frozen, but i want to freeze ALL of them that aren't needed..just not sure whats safe and what is not.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Here's a nice list for Droid Pro, so they'll be about the same :D
[Droid 2 General] reinert012:
thanks a lot!
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
No problem :) Let me know if you need anything else!
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Before the flame I did search this:

The following errors occurred with your search:

1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Lets say you click on your phone tile, and it brings up your past calls,

If you called a person, then they called you back and then you called them and then you called them back, it shows the 4 separate events for that one person listed out.. which makes a long list and a call you made that you need to remake earlier in the day not even show up.

How can we get it to combine similar numbers into one showing that you can click on and see the full list of calls made with that number instead of it already being listed out.

Hope this make sense.

Which brings me to my next question, why does it show so little calls? HD2 you can go back almost 4 days worth of calls, and it minimized the history library to last transaction stored and then u get more details.

I know I know this is a basic OS with nothing on it, to make it so minimal that you can make 1 call a day and then use it as a Ipod the rest of the time,

But besides that has any one found a way?
[HD7 General] Creka:
Agreed with you on combining the call. They should also add categories for missed calls, calls from contact list, incoming/outgoing calls etc, Most of the times I just want to know what calls I have missed.
[HD7 General] alabij:
Good question, however in its current iteration that ffeature doesnt exist.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
Can anyone port the HTC Metal theme from the Desire Z and HD roms to a stock rom like Defrost?

Would be much appreciated!

This one.
[Desire Themes and Apps] vnvman:
That would be great fore sure...but isn't it like porting sense to aosp? This is not possible afaik...
[Desire Themes and Apps] UpSpin:
Why don't you do it yourself?

Extract the framework.apk from DeFroST, and modify the related images to get a metallic status bar.

To get a metallic launcher, put the metallic sense launcher image as a background image of Launcher Pro and use transparent icons in the dock.
[Desire Themes and Apps] faceqt:
ClassicalGas' JAMT has a very similar one to that, check that out.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
I don't mean like porting Sense i just meant images. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself but i was busy last night and hoping someone could do it for me :P

Will set about it tonight.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
Here is an inside look that the Gtablet. I only took the back cover off. Battery is a 3650mAh, 7.4V, 27.0Wh, looks easy to replace if needed. Two missing components. There is a switch in the middle of the unit, when powered up if I press the switch, the unit resets with no data loss that I can tell. The board Rev is 7265C dated 2010-08-06 VER2.0. As fo the SIM card slot, there is a spot for it, but it is empty, and it dos not look like you could easily modify it to add the slot, and chance are the missing components may be for the SIM card/phone capabilities. Wish I could compare this to the 1GB model with the SIM card slot to see the diffs. Enjoy the pics...

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to enable JIT, HW Acceleration and apply a fix that will boost your Quadrant scores to 1000+.

Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for any damage you may inflict on your device. Any followed step here described is of your full responsability.

Before we start, you'll need:

1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13427114/O1_boost.zip

2. Custom recovery

(check this thread, credits: drellisdee)

After downloading (1) and flashing (2), it's a walk in the park:

1. Reboot into recovery (vol down + home + power) or via adb or whatever.

2. Toggle USB, copy the .zip you downloaded (1) over to your sdcard.

3. Flash zip from sdcard option, choose the .zip. Reboot.

How to confirm if JIT and HW accel are active?

For JIT, run a linpack. If it scores around ~7-7.5, it's active.

For HW acc it's not so easy but homescreen scrolling should be snappier.

For the fix, run a Quadrant, if it scores above 1000 or around that, it worked.

P.S. I highly advise you to flash a ROM with all these tweaks and more. Check out void ROM for example.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] skywalker788:
what does it mean for hardware acceleration in technical terms?

Is it an optimization of the os enabling some function like the just in time compiler??

After that my question...

I've already enabled jit i can flash this zip to hwacc??

thanks a lot
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
LOL I did the hw accel for the lg ally about 1 week ago and gave it to a few people and its leaked out already :). You may also want to experiment using a different gralloc too for better performance.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
You could've already shared in this section then.

Regarding the gralloc, it was going to be my next step but I don't have the phone anymore. So if anyone is interested I can provide a gralloc that should give some boost performance-wise, pm for link.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] skywalker788:
i flashed it. it seems to work fine, but before flashing it my quadrant rsul with just jit enabled was around 480 while now it's about 440?!?!?!?

What to do??
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] corwin42:
Do you have an explanation what the

dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1

setting does? I have found many links where it was mentioned but none with a good explanation, what it exactly does.

Thanks for any answers.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
GUI is rendered by GPU instead of CPU for instance.

And yes you can.

HW accel kills some points in Quadrant but the overall experience (especially in the menu scrolling or games) is smoother.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] skywalker788:
Thanks a lot for your reply anyway in the everyday use i tasta the difference and i agree with you about performance... thanks a lot
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
Can you test something for me (or anyone else)?

Flash this:

Then run a Quadrant. Post the score please.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] skywalker788:

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kite86:
Do a Nand before flashing :>
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kite86:
I just flashed your zip and now my result went from 460~ to 1024 lolz

I would like to know what this does exactly :>

I'll test in normal use if there will be some improvements

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
People, relax! Its not real. Quadrant has a bug.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
Nah, it's real.

The results you were getting before, those weren't real.

You won't see an increase in performance sorry haha; it's not a tweak, only a fix to show the true quad scores.

Now you can know how good your phone is. I never expected +1000 tho.

First post updated.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
Btw, try without hardware acceleration (I think it eats around 50 points @ quadrant):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13427114/O1_boost_no-hwacc.zip

Try that one. Does it increase a bit?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
Quote:

"Quadrant seems to be unable to test the h264 at all when stagefright is used - it considers the h264 test done immediately, while when opencore is used, the test is actually carried. Therefore, the simple change of the property media.stagefright.enable-player=true will double your score. But it has no connection to the real world. Actually, the h264 playback by the stagefright player has slightly higher CPU demand than opencore h264 playback (and both are using the same TI OMX libraries that do the actual h264 decoding on the hw DSP)."
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
These numbers are note real. Do you really believe you device is faster than Galaxy S? This tweak only fools Qudrant, check other benchmarks to get the real picture.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] The_ERROR:
I think same like you. It doesn't make sense that my device with 600MHz CPU have better performance like Galaxy S with 1000 MHz CPU.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
Maybe it's you who should check other numbers to get the real picture.

San Francisco (ZTE Blade), HTC Aria, you name it, every MSM7227 gets around 400 on eclair and boosts around to 900 on froyo.

And the default scores on Quadrant aren't reliable.

Most of the displayed benchmarks are stock 2.1; Froyo 2.2 brought a lot of CPU optimizations that will make the score double or triple.

For example, I had a SGS and it did 2500. Before that, my acer Liquid, 1300. Nexus One will do 1800. HTC Desire HD will do 3000.

So, I wouldn't go there. Anyone who has played around in Quadrant knows the comparison scores are old and irrelevant.

Need more examples? link.

Do look there please so you see how wrong you are.

Stagefright is a froyo library that helps to decode h.264. Probably some tests in Quadrant use such tech since there is a known "bug" that if player flag is false, it will bring down the scores to 400.

So, after the fix, the scores you get are the real ones.

Either that, or everyone has been using it true flagged, so you should too for comparison purposes.

You have a random quote, I have a known "bug" and all the benchmarks in the world to prove my point (there are no froyo devices scoring below 700). How's it going to be?

Edit: Here you go for ZTE Blade. For HTC Aria (or here), Legend and all that, look in the link above.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
Well, I have the device and I have the same results, you dont need to repost the diagram.

I agree my quote is more or less random. I choose it because it nicely explains what I think is going on.

The boost is not going because of Froyo (at least not only).

The Froyo JIT makes real CPU boost, 75% for our cpu, more for Snapdragons(up to several times).

There is another thing - decoding H264 with stagefright. The dramatic boost we

have here is because of that. Other benchmarks not using H264 like Linpack DONT show any boost. I doubt if stagefright does it so well over the opencore (internal player which was enabled by default). This make me suspicious about the score. I guess the real test would be just decode H264 and compare with other devices.

Summarizing:

Quadrant scores get boosted

Linpack and Neocore scores didnt change at all.

If you really want to check - decode H264 and compare with other devices
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
1. Yes they do.

2. Linpack doesn't use the same system of benchmarking Quad does. Neocore is GPU, wouldn't change either way.

Check this out (all have MSM7227):

- San Francisco 2.1: linpack ~ 3; quadrant ~ 400.

- HTC Legend 2.1: linpack ~ 3; quadrant ~ 400.

- San Francisco 2.2: linpack ~ 7; quadrant ~ 900.

- HTC Aria 2.2: linpack ~ 7; quadrant ~ 900.

Now, - LG P500 2.2: linpack ~ 7; quadrant ~ 400 (JIT ON)

Let's play the "which of them doesn't belong?" game?

3. Stagefright is flagged true for everyone. So, like I said, for comparison purposes, it must stay on @ LG P500.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
As I said there are two things here affecting the benchmark. See below.

1. Original (JIT off, stagefright off)

Total: 420

CPU: 417

Memory: 785

I/O: 297

2D: 244

3D: 359

2. JIT on (stagefright off)

Total: 493

CPU: 731 (75% CPU boost!, confirmed by other benchmarks)

Memory: 794

I/O: 318

2D: 260

3D: 364

3. JIT on, stagefright on

Total 1020

CPU 3328 (CPU is REALLY boosted, NOT confirmed by other benchmarks)

Memory 789

IO 362

2D 250

3D 370

So, stagefright=true makes the boost. Which look strange to me.

I dont understand how enabling a different media player can give 500% CPU boost. Its more realistic that Quadrant doesnt do the job right.

The fact its also happening on other devices doesnt really help to understand why.

I agree for comparison with others you need to do the same (JIT, stagefright). I doubt in the value itself for this device and for others.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] denden79:
One more "random" quote

http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...ght-fix-on-froyo/page__view__findpost__p__132
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] knzo:
YES

Froyo per default has stagefright on (or so I've been told) and we were comparing our LG P500 (with jit and stagefright off) with other devices (with jit and stagefright on); if you were like me, you were cursing why the score was so low (not in absolute terms, regardless of being real or not, but in relative terms, as comparison with other devices with same specs)

This fix (I have been calling it fix since the beginning, not tweak (because I recognised right at the beginning that this wouldn't improve performance) will just even the plates for comparison.

Now the question is:

a) the scores are now real (quad)

b) the scores aren't real now (quad) and everyone is wrong

Here, I won't argue with you because I'm not sure which one it is and there's evidence for both sides. But in the end, it all comes up to a fact: every quad score brag out there is with stagefright, so we should use it too then.

Again, I named it fix, not tweak. If you want to say it's a fix towards popular opinion and not towards the truth, I can't disagree with you.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] corwin42:
I think the problem is that 2.2 devices use stagefright and 2.1 not. So comparisons between 2.1 and 2.2 devices with quadrant are not really possible.
