yup, it's finally in the market!
if you want to elliminate the tedious adb/terminal commands, then this is the app for you!!
updates coming soon, along with an EQ app!!
cheers for everyone who helped me with this!
everyone who did help messege me!!
cool!
Quick?, safe to use with the dudes 1.3rc2?
Yeah sorry about the force closes, I'm gonna try fixing it tonight.
Spent ages trying getting rid of the force closes, thought id sorted it but evidently not ><
Its odd because it works fine for me off the market.
I should have it sorted by tonight
Sorry again guys
Will you include V5 mod?
Yeah, will be updating it a fair bit soon, just need to get the 'basics' working first
Just read the comments in the market and this made me chuckle a bit
"How does an app that does nothing but force close get a 3 star average?"

A famous quote... "The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity."
i've had a few people e-mail me saying that this is 'bull*hit' and 'this will never work' and someone calling me a 'scammer, trying to steal peoples money' (seriously, how could i steal people's money when there's a refund policy lol ><)
gotta love the market.
also, just bought a new sd card (because mine conveniently corrupted itself out of spite) so i'm gonna do some serious testing now.
keep up the good fight!
Looking forward to trying it out once you get it updated.
Hey dan, it force closes for me too. Try looking at the code again and see if you have any invalid pointers(?) or what not.... i dont mean pointers, but you know what I mean. Let me know when you update it again so I can run it and debug it through DDMS and so I can also run a trace on it.
Im super excited about this one! There are 2 things that bother me about my g1. Volume and Battery life. I cannot wait to try this out tonight when you get it fixed!
Whats up with the comment from the user that says you have to have Lucid's Mod? Where did he read that at?
Anyhow, Thanks Meltus! Looking forward to it.
Love the idea for the audio mod app, I've used the terminal commands in the past to get it to work (since it no longer seems to work in TheDude's releases anymore). I'd imagine it still runs through the Terminal shell?
will the eq be included in this app or in a seperate app? I will buy both when they are working for sure- i like to support developers.... eg. bought rockon etc...
People see a lot of junk out in the market, so sometimes even good devs get hit with accusations- especially if accusers do not review XDA to know what is real.
How are you getting past the SDK limits in regards to raw audio? It seems that an EQ would beat the CPU to death trying to work correctly unless more resources were made available in the recent OS update.
This is one of several big reasons Coreplayer team hit a wall with Android. Not to mention video codecs would also kill the CPU and still be a battery hoggin' stuttery mess.
the EQ is not an actual program that modifies the sound, it's a set of files that alter the 'built-in' EQ that HTC never bothered to enable.
i'm just going to make an app that can change it on-the-fly.
but atm i'm stuck at trying to push files from the app to the phone. it seems quite simple but i've been trying for about 6 hours now and got fkin nowhere
any ideas anyone?
Is it something to do with the files you are trying to access the built in EQ? The CPU on the G1 does have the function, but I would have thought a driver would be needed from Qualcomm?
i havn't even started on the EQ app yet, this is just for my audiohack app.
The 'EQ', if you can call it that, is a just file with hex values which control the various different gain settings for the different frequencies.
check my signiture for more info and a how-to.
also, my Volume Hack is now fully working, but, only if you've used my files in the past. which is quite bizzarre. it just refuses to do it with the stock files from any build, but if i replace the stock files with EXACTLY the same files but through adb, it then works fine.
i have no idea whats going on. my app sets the system in r/w mode fine so that can't be it.
i hate java

Just keep plugging away at it. Surely, someone around here wil be able to help you over this speed bump.
Meltus, what it sounds like is just the need for the files to be accessed in the first place. I haven't tried the app yet, but I wonder if it would work since I only used terminal for your audio mods in the past? In which case, you could probably use the same terminal code if that's possible.
I did the mod through the terminal already but I couldn't find it in the market earlier. I figure you pulled it for now due to the problems people are running into but what would I search when it is there. I want to support the community if I can, be it just a simple review.
Can someone explain to me why I always have different applications that I didn't specifically start listed in my task killer? I am trying to get a handle on the battery life of my CM7 14 NC. I am pretty new to android and have a hunch that it is something simple that I am missing. TIA.
No one else sees applications running on their NC that weren't implicitly started? Sometimes I look and twitter / facebook will be running even though I didn't start them.
That's pretty much how android works, and it's also the reason why you shouldn't be using a task killer...

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
As has already been implied, don't use task killers. Apps start up and shut down on their own and Android has a built in 'task killer'. I found that when I was using a task killer, my phone ran at maybe 10% faster (due to less running on the ram), but the battery life actually was worse by a good margin. IMO, the Nook runs really well (especially if you OC it) and the battery life can better be controlled in other ways. Turning it off when not in use, unlike a phone (because you need it on to make a call, of course), will save a lot of battery. Also, SetCPU can be used to set profiles, they will save you on battery a lot. Disable auto-update and notifications for apps unless you really need them. use the power control and set it to where you can turn the brightness down low on the fly and keep it down unless you need it up. Sure, the screen looks beautiful when bright, but unless you're playing a game or watching a video, you don't need a bright screen.
Sorry for the rant, hope maybe it helps a little. Also, the more updates we have the better battery life will be.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I had not read that article before. I will uninstall the task killer and see what happens to my battery life. The other suggestions about turning off auto updates makes sense also.

cm7 already has profiles built into it under the cyanogenmod settings in the settings app! if you run both you are running the same thing twice and wasting both performance and power.

Hi,is there an app or a process to calibrate the accelerometer under android?I have typhoon rom,but even in mdj s one i had problems with the accellerometer.Everything tend to go left,and so I have problems with many games and programs (most of times those programs does not have a calibration menu).Thank you for the help
Try a sense ROM. Those always have a calibration app under settings in display or something.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
So the only way is to change rom?It s incredible that in cyanogenmod there is not a sensor calibration menu,it s really strange
No one with the same problem? So do i have to think it s an hardware problem?
Download "Bubble" by Ben Zibble from the Market, and use the Calibrate function on it.
Calibrate for each side & laying flat down too, obviously making sure the surface you are calibrating on is Flat too.
Mine was off by a bit and was awkward when playing some games, this worked great.

Are you sure that you can fully calibrate the phone withthis program? I tried but the calibration seems to have effect only in bubble program
I'm not totally sure. But that's one thing I would try. Do a nandroid first, calibrate, then restore your backup

G sensor Calibration
Try the Calibrate Pitch and Roll function under GPS Status & Toolbox App [Free App under Market] , also while your at it might as well calibrate the Compass as well,
regards.
i tried to calibrate the phone with this program,but it seems to not calibrate all the phone.Is it possible to delet the files that contain the calibration data,and overwrite it with the one taken from the rom?
After searching for 2 days in any language i ve found the solution in a old xda thread.This is the only solution that work for me to recalibrate the gsensor for all the system,not only in gpsstatus or level programs.Since this thread has 450 views,i think that other peoples has my same problem.This is the thread link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803242
and this is the solution
If your orientation is off when you lay your phone on a level surface and can't calibrate it in Android (because many people found it gets corrupted after auto calibration), this is one way to do so. (Winmo g-sensor calibration does not seem to affect android orientation)
Install an app that displays sensor information along with pitch and roll. (such as SensorDebug from Android market)
Put your phone on a level surface such as the floor or a table.
Note your pitch and roll values.
Use rootexplorer or similar file manager to edit /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt file. (open in text editor) (For ASTRO CHECK POST 70 in page 7)
You will see AOFFSET.x and AOFFSET.y at the bottom. (May be on top if you autocalibrated previously)
y affects pitch and x affects roll, there is about 4 to 1 ratio.
What you are trying to do is make pitch and roll 0 with minimum flicker.
Press and hold home button to switch between rootexplorer and sensordebug. Your changes will be reflected in realtime (with most builds). Go back and forth a few times to get perfect result. (You can press and hold home button to go back and forth) If you think changing values don't have an affect, try to temprorarily change AOFFSET.x=90 and return to your app. When phone is on the table, your leveling bubble or pitch/roll must be way off. This way you can see if with your build changes are reflected in realtime or not. If not try restarting, use different sensor app and give feedback please. (After that revert AOFFSET.x to 0 or other value your want to fix back orientation)
For example:
If pitch is 3 and roll is -1
you may start by
AOFFSET.x=4
AOFFSET.y=-12
Then adjust with 1 increments to get rid of flicker.
It is best to adjust one value at a time.
EDIT: IF YOU WANT TO CALIBRATE Z AXIS, CHECK POST 61 in page 7
Calibrated AOFFSET values for my phone are x=2 y=-9 z=12
You can use gpsstatus or bubble app (to find bubble app search the market for bz.ktk.bubble and enable "show angle" from bubble apps settings.) for visual check of orientation calibration. Because of the protruding camera lens of hd2, there can be 1 degree difference between sideways and normal orientation. (It seems you can adjust in about 0.25 degree increments by each 1 increment of AOFFSET and compansate by lowering AOFFSET=y by 2 that gives 0 degrees in both normal and sideways orientation in bubble app)
- You don't need to reboot for most builds (if there is no affect check post 11)
- You don't need to kill/restart akmd
- You don't even need to close sensor app
- Because of not perfect kernel/build support for sensors, you may see them freeze when you move the phone (TS will also freeze). With evo kernels, just wait a few seconds and it will resume. (With nexus kernels they may freeze until sleep/wakeup) Interestingly the values of AK8973Prms.txt affect shake/move freezes. I wrote about this in post 10 and 11.
IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BACKUP COMPLETE ANDROID FOLDER BEFOREHAND just in case something goes wrong. Chefs say you shouldn't auto calibrate your g-sensor under Android because with many people it gets messed up. Also good idea to backup your /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt
You may have trouble accessing data folder with a file manager other than rootexplorer. Your build must be rooted. (most are) It is a good idea to update your su binary inside superuser app settings TWICE. If you change permissions of /data /data/misc folders you may access them even with standart astro file manager. Try chmod 777 /data from terminal emulator.
This procedure is also possible with adb or droidexplorer. But my way of doing is practical and it is in realtime. If your build has different file name, please tell us.
This IS a development thread, please don't tell me to post in generic section or clutter.
This is manual workaround for non-working auto calibration. If auto-calibration works in the future, it may very well fix your freezes.
Values of AK8973Prms.txt file may solve touch screen/sensor freeze problems with your games. Feedbacks are always welcome. We should find out what the other values do exactly. Also check post 10 & 11
I had to try many times,but finally i ve found the right value for my device.With thyphoon rom you have to reboot after any change to take effect,so the process takes a little long...But great,now i can play asphalt 6 and use google sky map without any issue
It would be cool if someone with,programming experience,could build a program to make this process more user friendly,so we don t need to use a sense rom to calibrate the full system
I wish i helped with this post all the user with my same problem.I m sorry for my english,if it s not soo good
I want a rom that includes the following:
1. way to clear all the recent task list with a click, like the pre lollipop stock did.
2. An intermediate option on the volume rocker between vibrate and normal volume with a "meeting mode." where the phone just rings a single beep. Similar to the old nokia phones did.
3. Tethering.
4. Stable and fast and lite.
5. Data defaults to wifi. I have issues getting the wifi webpage to sign in to hot spots unless I turn off cell data.
Anyone have any suggestions
Aosb!

If you're doing this just so it looks tidy, in case you're unaware this is a bad idea if you do it regularly. Unless of course you're unhappy with how much battery lasts and want to make it last less.
Looking through a hundred open apps is a lot more of a pain than plugging my phone in to get charged. I appreciate your concern for my battery life.
Most ROMs have #1, the lightest is probably Clean ROM. They all have #3. None have #2. No ROM will do better at #5 than stock.

I agree that I think Google made a mistake with recents. It should just reflect cached apps. Hopefully custom ROMs will implement a modified version. But many people don't understand then associated drain caused by always clearing recents so on the off-chance that you didn't, I thought I'd let you know about it.
You never have to go more than a few apps back to find your recently cached apps so you shouldnt ever have to look through a hundred apps. They're just in the background
How do you even know it causes more drain? Have you taken multiple nexus 6 and controlled for all variables such as apps, age of device etc and compared them with statistical analysis for significance?

Not sure if its an internet language barrier but your post reads as if you're being confrontational.
Its common sense. Android is designed to cache apps for quick retrieval. If you open an app cold, it uses significantly more CPU cycles to open up than a cached app. More CPU cycles = More power uses = shorter batter life. If you're constantly clearing recents and always starting your regularly used apps up from cold, you will take a battery hit. I don't need to do a statistical analysis for this fact, in the same way I don't need statistics to prove that one day, we'll be dead.
It's an assumption. I can make the same argument right back at you. Pulling up the task list and displaying 20 items and scrolling use plenty cpu cycles.

Actually it is not an assumption. Its a fact. And science! I can't believe you could even think it was an assumption, unless you don't understand CPU cycles, energy use or the principles of caching..
And no, the argument you're presenting does not use extra CPU cycles. I've come to the understanding that you are indeed being intentionally confrontational. I was just trying to help in case you didn't understand this concept - as a warning. To be honest I dont care if you waste CPU. I just wanted to let you know in case you were.
Let's not have this turn into you being an anti-vaccer that doesn't believe in measles.
I'm an inquisitive not confrontational, and you have not proven your point. Though if you actually worked on the android OS team I'd take your word for it. I don't take most people's words for anything. The media is full of lies, the government are all thieves and liars. Trust no one. Many published publications have been redacted and falsified.
However, suppose you are correct.
So how many items do you have on your recently used list? You don't find it the least bit inefficient searching through all the clutter on your recently used list.

OK if you're simply being inquisitive, then I apologise for that assumption.
Well the beauty of it is you don't need to take my word for it. You can research the subject yourself. Whether you believe me or not though, it is a fact that android caches apps and that cached apps take fewer CPU cycles to open than an uncached app. You can even find some statements from the Greenify developer stating this if you're so inclined.
As for my recent a list, I have 122 items. I only use recents to switch between open and cached apps. I'd say I probably never go more than 10 apps back in that list so anything in there over that amount is irrelevant to me. Yes it is quicker to find an app in my app drawer or from my pie / glovebox shortcuts than way back in my recents list since the recent list is only sorted in order of when I last used it. Recents is only really for quick task switching. I did already agree that anything that isn't cached is pretty pointless appearing on recents and I have no idea why they decided to design it like this but it doesn't bother me much because of the way I use recents. Also, since I would much rather use a cached app than start cold, I'd also rather not clear recents. You don't even need to use the recents interface anyway. Whether you call an app from the recents list or the drawer, if its cached, it will load it quicker and more efficiently. As long as its not cleared from recents..
I found some vague reference that if you clear an app from the recent list it doesn't even close the app process it just goes away from the list depending on the specific app.
In the end I don't really care if it uses more cpu cycles, I just want it not cluttered. I don't need to show my phone to a significant other and have them see every recent app I went to. I favor privacy and less clutter over cpu cycles. It was a mistake on google's part not to leave it up to the user.
I'm also not sure why it's such a pain in the butt to find a way to have a setting to have a single ring without it repeating. I made my own ring tone with a single beep and 30 seconds of silence but it still sucks because I can't easily switch back and forth without installing another app for profiles and such making it a lot more complicated...

If the app is coded against googles guidelines, that could be the case though I've never found one that does that. Its quite an easy test to do too.
Open an app that's in recents then minimise it. Clear from recents again and if it opens fresh, its working as Google intended
Anyway, you don't care and nor do I so o suppose I should let you continue with the initial purpose of the thread
im always closing/clearing my recents. whatever battery drain that it causes me is so very minimal that it really doesnt matter.

The more you do it and the more you use the apps you're clearing, the worse it is. More so of you're just blanket clearing them all. Regardless of whether you perceive a difference or not, its a real thing. Efficiency, battery and performance all take a hit and that's what its there for. Oh and convenience of course. Its awful if you're in a thread on tapa talk and then check something really quick then you have to load the app up again and find the thread.

I wouldn't use Tapatalk if the forum theme was better. I know you use an older one but on a computer the newer one is better but in a mobile browser it kills too much space.
That said when I installed Firefox, I changed the theme and it didn't change in chromium so maybe the theme is tracked in cookies? If so I'd happily change it on my phone. Though I do like the "participated" tags on the latest theme.
Sorry @deadave for the off topic.

As for the recents issue, just use this. You can limit what shows (cached vs lifetime with limits to both) as well as a clear all (and cahinfire advises against for reasons already discussed)
Has anyone noticed that the sides of the screen when playing certain games is actually badly scaled, so the game is essentially playing off screen.
Only about 5mm on each side. But in certain circumstances you can miss something.
I use FHD, couple of the games I've noticed it on is Arkanoid Vs Space invaders (great game)
Sonic forces (not so Great)
Same thing on QHD.
Is this just a bug in OnePlus' new system? Or is it an Android 12 /12.1 issue?

Here's my display settings for font and display.
Both at default.
DPI is also unchanged.
Tested all settings within scaling with no affect.
Also this does not affect all apps, only the two I mentioned and potentially others.. if you didn't test with them apps then it wouldn't be a valid test.
Unless you did. Then I'm stumped.
