Howdy All!
I'm about to take a trip to Alaska and will be taking my Nook Color along to watch movies during flights. It's running CM7 with the beta .32 kernel. I think it'll be loud enough on the plane (I will be using active noise canceling headphones), but I'd like to know what options there are for boosting volume just in case.
I see that there is a built in DSP Manager and one can simply set it to +10 on each section. Is this the best way to boost volume? I noticed in CM Settings there is a a way to boost attenuation for ringtones, notifications, etc, but nothing for media volume.
Thanks!
I'm using volume + available here.........http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
It's been working well for me.
Oh Wow! Volume + is amazing. Thank You.

Glad to help.
Thank you for your recommended.
One thing to note. If you are using headphones, you may think you need to adjust the "Headset Settings" in Volume +. Changing this will do nothing. The "Speaker Settings" will adjust both the built-in speakers as well as any headset you plug into the headset jack.
Thanks!
THanks a lot !
Volume+ is perfect. Thanks so much for the recommendation. It's working great on my Droid phone, too.
How does volume+ compare to DSP Manager which is included in CM7?
This app is GREAT........

DSP manager has superior EQ control IMO but volume + is MEGA GOOD! I had no idea we would ever be able to have an app to do that. Now I don't have to re encode all my low volume videos. I tried running both together but they crash each other.
Can't wait to give this app a try. I just had my first long trip on a plane with my nook and with noise canceling headphones the volume was just about right. Although at times I could have used one or two more volume nudges up.
I have got to be missing something, but when I downloaded the "apk," I got a zipped file containing some files and two folders, and one of the two folders contains a bunch of folders.
How do I install this on my nook color running CM7?

Its just an .apk
I must assume your using safari? Try looking in your downloads folder for the original .apk Safari tends to unzip things that dont need unzipped.

Thanks, but it really is a .zip file. I thought that too until file explorer on my nook wanted to unzip it. Then I went to my PC and unzipped it and that's when I got all the files. It is not an .apk. I checked that out. I'm puzzled. Why would a .zip file be put at the link location for downloading?
Using Opera browser and im also getting a .zip file.
Ok IE browser gave .apk file.
Will this only work for Gingerbread? How about rooted stock 1.1

Dalingrin has created a program for the Nook Color, just for this purpose.

I got this app from my HTC Magic HK Version, it can see youTube HD!! How can i install this apk in Hero Rom~~
I don't know anythink about the YouTube HD app but the basic Youtube app allow to see in "normal quality" and "high quality".
I'm not sure that the HTC Magic is capable of playing 1280x720 video ... on his 480x320 screen.

Copy the *.apk to your sd-card and open the file with ASTRO. ASTRO is a free application that can be found on Market. This application can do much more that just install applications from a file (apk), it's recomended to have this app
Thanks for the file!
Oh damn, I've been waiting for this. I'll give this a try!
Edit: Doesn't work.
I guess wishing for HQ vids over 3G/HSDPA is still a dream... no pun intended =/
This worked flawlessly on my Archos 5 Android, thanks.
is this the same as selecting high quality in the original YouTube application?
The file downloads as a .ZIP archive, therefore, there is no .apk. At least, I could not find it when I unzip the file...

how did you get it working?? I'm having trouble getting it to run in the archos 5 android.
little tutorial maybe...?
are you guys serious? there is an option in the regular youtube app to select a higher quality. so i dont really see the need for this apk??? Im not trying to be mean by any means though. Just saying some people might have been a little misinformed
I think people are wanting to watch the videos in high definition, rather than high quality.
well as someone stated before our devices wont play higher than 430x320 res
anyone knows why i could only chose normal or high quality only when i am on wifi connection but not 3G??
(windows) search "folder options" > '"veiw tab" > make sure "hide extensions for known file types " is UNchecked..... rename "youtube.zip" into "youtube.apk
Does anyone have a youtube.apk that defaults to playing the normal (low) quality version of the video. I want to use it on a Eken tablet pc but it doesnt like the high quality videos freezes on the first frame even though sound continues but low quality setting plays ok
Download the zip
Extract the apk
Put it in your sdk tools folder
open command prompt
Navigate to your sdk tools folder
connect your phone via usb
type in command prompt:
adb remount
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app/YouTube.apk
Voila! It works, atleast these steps worked for me..
// Note: Thats how you get it on your phone..
Still doesnt default to highquality
Just wondering if there's a way to make ur phone play a specific sound when it locks
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
find, backup and replace the .ogg lock sound in the registry.
You can place your custom lock/unlock *.ogg files in system/media/audio/ui. [Download Root explorer from market or a file manager app to do this on your phone]
Backup your Original file and rename your custom sound file to Lock.ogg or Unlock.ogg.
Thanx now I just have to convert the file to file

I'm not sure where u can find them, but there are several online converters which I used to convert my (mp3) file to ogg.. quick and easy

MGS Lock/Unlock Sounds
Just thought I'd share my sounds. Files are already converted to OGG and I am currently using them. They sound awesome!
Also Audacity is an awesome tool to convert any audio file to OGG and its free. Google is your friend
P.S. If you play the files on the PC, they may appear to sound incomplete, however, they work perfectly on the phone once set.
Does it drain the. Battery fast

No, I doubt it drains battery considering it just replaces the original lock and unlock sounds. I've had no drain issues.
Sounds go in 'system/media/audio/ui/'

I forgot about audacity its very easy to use also.. also an app called "screen off and lock" works great with the lock sounds

A different way of doing things is some lockscreen programs found in the market will let you do this too. I think lock 2.0 full lets you upload a custom lock/unlock sound by just renameing the mp3 inside the program on your sd. Im not 100% sure that this is the program name because i haven't used it in several months. There also are severl sounds other users have uploaded that you can choose from as well.

So, I was looking in the phone and I've yet to figure out what the issue is. I was always able to transfer ringtones(.mp3 files) to all of my Samsung phones(Vibrant and Infuse) without issue; however, when I try to select one on the Thrill it won't allow it or sometimes states "Device does not support this Content for ringtone Assignment."
I checked the actual ringtones folder and it contains .ogg files; however, merely renaming the extension .mp3 to .ogg doesn't produce any results(in that the phone still responds the same way when selecting them). I'm not certain if there would be the necessity of a converter for the files, but I don't have access to computer that I could attempt to convert them on.
So! I suppose my question is what formats the Thrill will recognize or allow for use as ringtones outside of the preloaded few and what method I would have to go about using to get them to work. I've tried using a "ringtones" folder on the sd card and a "ringtones" folder in "sdcard/media/audio" with no results.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The thrill does accept mp3 as ringtone it has to be under 300kb I'm pretty sure. It might be the way your mp3s were encoded I wpuld try finding a ringtone under 300kb and around 128kbps encoding see if that works.
I use ringdroid from the market it's free and super easy to crop your mp3s it takes like 20 sec. hope it helps

I appreciate the input and I'll take a look at the file sizes. I'll also take a look at ringdroid. I have to admit that the battery life on this phone seems to be atrocious though.

There is no option to turn off camera shutter sound in stock Camera.apk included in Rocket ROM v22 Galaxy Note...
Has any one been able to turn it off without putting phone in Silent mode????
Remove or rename shutter_01.ogg found here
System/media/audio/ui
How do I do this?
I'm using Root Explorer, and it says that the file is a read-only file. So how do I do?

Ok here we go. I know it is very annoying sound
Follow these:
1. Run the ES File Explorer app
2. Go to ES File Explorer settings and check on 'Upto The Root'. Also make sure check is on for 'Root Explorer', 'Mount File System' under Root settings.
3. Tap UP.
4. Scroll down and tap SYSTEM.
5. Tap MEDIA.
6. Tap AUDIO.
7. Tap UI.
8. Long tap on camera_click.ogg until Operations pop-up appears, and then tap rename.
9. Rename it into camera_click.ogg.off
That’s it. Congo Man!! So now you should have disabled the camera sounds. Well for letting you know the procedure I switched mine too
Now lets see the fruits of labor. Open your camera app (whichever you use) and click a pic and even if you’re not in silent mode, your camera shutter will not make any sound .
If one fine day you miss that irritating shutter sound and decided to enable it again, just perform the steps above and rename the camera_click.ogg.off into camera_click.ogg.
Hope you would have got the steps. Damn, my fingies hurt typing long
Anyways, good luck !
How about the focus sound?

haven't used root explorer but in es file explorer there's an option to mount everything as read/write. by default you can only view the files not on your sd card, i expect root explorer may have the same setting somewhere.
just a warning, i wasn't able to find the "focus" sound anywhere. i was able to mute everything, except the little double beep that you hear when the camera focuses, which was a bit of a pain so i just put everything back as it was.

Your method isn't working for me. I've also deleted the file, but the sound is still played. Where is the wrong? Some cach somewheare?
Download Blade Buddy from the play store.
There's no camera sound option, not sure if it works on ICS.
You need to be rooted.

I'm currently running the CM9 nightlies and just thought I'd add that both the camera shutter and focus sounds can be found as ogg files in the system/media/audio/ui folder. I renamed them both and it works fine.

Ok, there might be some glitch. Do a wipe cache (only if you are on stable ICS) and try to do it again (the steps i gave).
If nothing works use this: CAMERA ICS from Moblynx
Here is a read about features (if you like to go through, then you can)
Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)
Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)
Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)
Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)
Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0)
720p face effects (only 4.0)
Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets
Ok, click here for the play link.

How can I add my own notification sound? I tried to copy one from my Nexus S, and placed it in
sdcard/media/audio/notifications (that's where it was placed on the Nexus S),
but it can't be found in settings on the HTC one. It's an .ogg file and I tried to convert it to mp3 but no difference. Any ideas?

Did you restart the phone? Android only looks for new audio files like that at bootup. The other option is just to create a new folder in the root of your SD card, name it ringtones, put your audio files in there and then restart the phone.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
At first I downloaded some sounds through dropbox to my device, and I couldn't get anything to show up in settings, no matter where i put them. So I tried to transfer the sound files through USB-cable from my computer and now everything shows up in ringtone and notification settings. Weird, but at least it works now
