Complete N00b? Att and T-mobile

I have att nexus with service. If i flash a rom, do I need to change any setting to have phone functionality completely working? What is the best image out there for a noob that just needs tethering and maybe a little bit snappier n1?
Thanx in advance

The best suggestion would probably be to stay stock for a while and explore the system as it is, since it's great even completely stock.

You can try Cyanogen mods. Just make sure you read the wiki properly and do what it says. You do not have to change any settings to get the original functionality. You will lose the apps you have installed when you flash a new ROM. So back them up first.

thanx
thank you, coming from an iphone 3g, i should have done this soooo long ago. the n1 is so much faster at everything. I used to listen to a bunch of podcast, is there anything out there like itunes that i can grab all the podcasts from?
thank you

yes just install google listen, it does all audio podcasts, and even syncs them with your google account.
other podcast apps will do video if that's what you want.

what about music player?
what is everyones favorite music player?
since being stuck on apple for 2 years never new what a real phone should be. my n1 is worth every penny.
thanx

Doubletwist is a pretty nice media player (video/audio), a lot of others use cubed as their media player (both free), doggcatcher is a good podcast app (great audio and video podcasts), doggcatcher isn't free but you can refund paid apps for a little while after purchase if you dont like them

[Q] sgs crash while playing music and screen locked

I just installed gingerbread xxjvk 2.3.3 on my galaxy s and then wanted to listen some music. but when i locked my screen my phone totally crashed and needed to hold the power button to reset. I tried it while playing from internal and external storage. and with eq on and off. i found out it didnt crash while browsing my storage and clicking a song and then play it. it only crashes if i search and play a song in the player itself. Plz help me i need my music
greetings jaap from the netherlands

I assume the music player's version is not prepared for gingerbread or that beta firmware has a problem with the way your player wants to search/open a file. Try a different one, for example PowerAMP is a great player!

It works. but i get an annoying clicking sound while playing sounds. i tried winamp to but it has the clicking sound to. So i solved one problem, and the next one appears

Trials and tribulations of running non stock/beta firmware i am afraid .

Where can i get the original rom from galaxy s?

samfirmware.com has all the official firmwares you may need. by the way in my opinion go for a cooked froyo firmware with speedmod or voodoo kernel as they have significant improvements over sound quality via voodoo app from market (needs compatible kernel) and also they're more stable.

This happens on my HD2 as well when sound is distorting due to to loud and gain. Maybe this helps in finding a solution in Gingerbread for this issue. Great rom though!

music player doesn't work

Hi everybody,
I'm use to run in the afternoon and yesterday I tried to use my OB like MP3 player. unfortunaly, the songs start lagging after 5/10 seconds they started. I've disabled all gestures, without any result.
PS: I've the stock V30B 4.0.4 LG ICS

Does it working normal until yesterday?
1. try another music player
2. find if you have a bloatware,disbale it.

Sincerely I wouldn't be sure because I tried to use OB like mp3 player for the first time yesterday. So I'm going to follow your advice: try another music player. Any suggestion? maybe Apollo?
I don't know if I have or not a bloatware: from the task manager I don't see any strange software. Are there some programs/software that allow you to see if you have/n't these bloatware?
thanks

Power amp , Player Pro, Rocket Player, Double Twist, Winamp, Clean Music Player... and more you can try.
I love Power amp. In CM rom i used Apollo, in ICS i used stock player (because Dolby Mobile)
A list of removable app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032668
But I dont think it make stock music play lag. But you can remove some to get best performance.
Also, you can try some ICS based ROM in Dev section.

Few Fixes for minor bugs in ROM`s for S advance users.

Hi , all i wanted to share a few apps/workarounds for troubleshooting a bug or two
A : the VIDEO RECORDING bug in old LP rom or the latest CM13 build marshmallow rom ..
For this over the year i used the app VIVA VIDEO - editor it works like a charm no lags whatsoever .
If it is not working u might want to use its premium version, easily available free just google it :cyclops:
B : SCREEN CAST / CAST SCREEN / ALLSHARE is not working when trying to connect the phone to outer video source ie. smart tv or android tv
For this i have tried a lot of apps old and new but last week one app clicked just the right thing in my phone i used app by cm`s ex dev Koushik dutta also the owner of ClockworkMod franchise its called ALL CAST i was able to wireless stream my videos onto my smart tv .[samsung] Worked just fine.
If it is not working u might want to ue its premium version, easily available free just google it :cyclops:
C : LOW HEADPHONE/EARPHONE VOLUME during MUSIC PLAY/ CALLS HANDLING ,
For this i had found that there was a significant increase in headphone volume once i flashed THE HBBT tweaks.which is here on xda forum for about some time now , its also goo dfor battery and performance
If you have found any of these helpful don`t be shy to click that small THANKS button on screen :good: ..
Happy androiding

Samsung music player needed

I've been using samsung devices from when the android era started to when I bought Asus Rog 2,
And I think that samsung music is the most simple and featured music player of all the available ones.
So I checked all the ported samsung music apps available out there but none seems to be working with the device.
Can anyone help please?

I was in the same state a few months back. Samsung's music player app cannot be ported to other devices, unless it's part of the Galaxy lineup.
I searched for an alternative and ended up using Poweramp.
It has a really good looking and customizable UI and looks awesome with 120hz display.

Try poweramp

Samsung music works here. I used it for a while but uninstalled due to ads. Try Poweramp as others suggest or use VLC.

Thanks guys.
Just bought the Poweramp, it turns out it's really good.
Thanks again for the suggestions

PowerAMP is great, and there are other apps honestly i would consider are leagues better than most stock apps.
Noteable ones i can think of are.
- PowerAMP (as you already know)
- BlackPlayer EX (tones of customization and audio control)
- Retro Music Player (very modern, well designed and has audio control)
I tried PowerAMP for a while and found it drained battery faster than the other apps but if you don't have any battery problems its an amazing app. personally i have stuck to BlackPlayerEX because i love the customistion options and the UI is clean and because i usually always carry alot of songs (1000+) on me its got the fastest interface as some other apps struggle.

Tbh simplicity of the samsung music app is something that I am still missing.
It's gonna take a while to get used to these 3rd party music players.

if you really want you can just download the samsung music app from the playstore or try sideload the apk
I don't have my ROG Phone 2 yet so i can't test it but i imagine there's no plausible reason it wouldn't work.
