I was thinking, generally one can listen to tons of music via their Android Device, but couldn't we counter half the use of a phone and knock to the point of having a Text, Call, YouTube, Battery, & Music phone?
You know, something other than the average base ROM to improve performance and focus more on people who fit mind to figure and prefer to go through a day with a decent battery and blaring music. Base the Kernel generally off the soul purpose of forfeitting speed and giving a good life to the phone.
General ideas
- Music Related Wallpaper(Cones with ROM)
- Custom Skinned Music Player App.
- last.FM, Spotify, Live365 & Radiobuzzd(or some other music app) in the ROM folder.
- Purple Dialer
- Purple Messaging App
& Lastly.
- App Manager.
If someone could put this into play, I'd give full help and support into learning. I feel we need more Music relationship behavior into the battery life of a ROM
Someone please take this into consideration.

Couldn't you essentially achieve this after about 5 min on any rom?

Very plausible, but I find it better if a ROM were made generally for Music.
Given a custom look and a nice dab of Music interface.

Another good idea would be to add a music Lockscreen

Hi guys, I'm running Darky 9.3 (don't know if that's relevant or not)
I've searched the forums (and the web) but couldn't find any mention of this. When I listen to music on my Galaxy S using headphones it sounds amazing, full stereo, really clear. When I use the external speaker its lovely and loud... but recently when listening to The Beatles I realised that it was only playing the left channel through the speaker (I assumed it would have been both left and right combined).
Now anybody who knows the early Beatles music and the massive stereo separation will realize this means I couldn't hear the drums/guitar/vocals depending on the track.
I tried the same song with headphones... perfect.
I tested this using both the stock Samsung music player and mSpot... the same with both.
Anybody else know about this?
Have to be honest this is just one of reasons i stoped useing custom roms as at some point i find issues i now use stock js8 its fast and reliable but i do wish you luck in finding answer

The last two answers are just for fun or you guys don't understand english? He is talking about the sound through thephone's speaker!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Yeah i was just about to say... cable?
I only mentioned the Rom as I don't know if that's the cause or not. But yeah.. through headphones? music is fine... through external speaker? ...only left audio channel.
With most modern music you can get away with it to be honest as usually the vocals bass and drums are mixed to the centre... but with older stuff? you miss half the music!
rather annoying...
It is one channel. Voodoo sound fix can force mono which fixes it mate. Comes with 9.3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It is pretty much industry standard (and I don't just mean the mobile phone industry) that when representing Monoural audio, you use only the left channel! as mentioned, software mixers exist, but I would not be surprised if the stock rom did the same.

hmm.... I'd have tested the stock rom if I'd realised about this in time. There's no way I can be bothered re flashing my phone... testing it... flashing it back and then going through all the hassle of setting up again. urgh. lol
I wonder if there's anybody who has a strong-stereo separation music track they can test who's on stock? is it two-channel mono? or just the left channel?
Thanks for the answers so far guys
Go into voodoo settings and choose force mono. I get 2ch audio

EDIT: Never mind I found it. Works great, thanks!
Just have to remember to turn it back to stereo when i put headphones in. But at least I can listen to The Beatles when I'm in the kitchen now on the built in speaker. Cheers!
This is a test build with work mostly from arcee and a little by myself to get the newest cyanogenmod to work with the radio on the p925 aka LG Thrill. This build has arcee's latest patches for better a2dp and removal of gps logging.
Install the same way you would cyanogenmod. This is a test thread and will be removed once arcee gets the p925 nightlies up and running. Leave any feedback you have below and I will pass them to arcee.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10166016/12302011.0958-Optimus3D-cm7-KANG-signed.zip
arcee has started nightlies for the p925.

if you have the arcee kang build installed than all you have to do is wipe cache. If you are coming from a lg based rom you need to wipe data/cache.
Do we need GB baseband? Also, the link doesn't seem to work.

Of course not. It is made for the thrills current radio. Until LG and AT&T decide to release gingerbread for us we have to have two separate build setups for the p920 and p925.

Hmmm...I really liked CM7 but it tore through battery life way too fast. It's okay while I'm on Christmas vacation but once next week rolls around, there's no way I can have that short of battery life. The longest I was able to hold a charge was 7 hours and that was without using my phone, down to 1 screen, only Gmail and exchange synced, and screen off. I tried 3 different batteries and all the same result.
On the Doomed ROM, I can get 8-10 hours of battery life with making calls, texts, downloading apps, uninstalling apps, playing games, running multiple screens with quite a few things synced, etc

So far looks and runs great! I have what may be a dumb question though, is 3d capability taken out of this cm7 or is there plans to keep 3d. As of now there's no 3d apps and 3d button is now inactive. Great job on this though!

I know he wants to get hdmi working but 3d I am not sure.
The 3D issue is with LGs propriatary 3d software that does not seem to work well with others...
I could honestly care less about 3D. I'd rather see HDMI fixed.
There is no 3d (except in camera, weird) b/c it relies on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google source.

arcee did a good job and showed me how to make it compatible with the old radio.
Installing now, I've tried just about every rom. I'm practically ready to sacrifice 3D and HDMI for something great. Please let this be great...
Please think of 3D in the future as well
EDIT:
So how do I access my internal memory? It will only mount my SD card, and it will not show my internal in Astro.

i was wondering if our o2x is really doing multitasking.
because when im playing youtube then switch to facebook, when i go back to youtube, it was paused then will be doing the buffering again.
same on browser, when i am watching video on it, when i switch to different app, when i go back to browser, it stopped playing.
is it just me?

Are you on stock or using a custom rom like cm7?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Blame this on the optimus 2x's lack of ram.
Android does allow multitasking, but when there are too many apps running, and free memory gets low, it automatically kills off apps that are minimised.
I find that the original rom is rather inefficient in ram. I am running CM7 KANG by Temasek, and find that apps close in the background much less frequently. On original ROM, just opening one other app would easily close the previous one, while on CM7, I could open a couple of games and still see my web browser/youtube app running.

Flash a custom rom on your phone with an additional ramhack (see my signature Vadonkas KANG kernel) this will give you some extra RAM.
YouTube always pauses the video when you close the app. Same goes for the browser. Has nothing to do with the device. I run MIUI and 32mb ram hack and it still happens..

True. It has more to do with how the app is coded. And in this case, the Youtube app is designed to pause and clear the memory to not waste too much ram by accident.
Another example with the same behavior is Opera Mobile. Using Opera Mini however, you'll notice that it saves your state from wherever you left the app.
thanks guys! i think this is not rom problem. im on cm7 latest temasek kang with vadonka based version kernel. i believe our o2x is really not multitasking. on browser and on youtube app, o2x fail.. im starting to hate this phone. (sigh)

In that case, no phone is really "multitasking", it's litterally a memory management issue.
You can try tidying up your phone and clearing it's cache.
I have tried the galaxy 2 and it's very similar to the o2x, only the camera and the browser are more higher than the dual. I haven't tried the galaxy nexus but I think that this a problem of every smartphone

Run a ram script. Such as v6superscharger. Or if you look through the android developement threads their might be a customized one for our o2x. The scripts change the values so each app is less likely to be killed and ram management is amazingly bretter.

A few posts up I said it has nothing to do with neither the devices' ram nor android memory management. But still everybody gives advice on how to improve this management.
It's the YT app pausing the video and not Android! If Android had something to do with it, it would have closed the app instead of simply pausing the video.
I wonder if some here are incapable of reading..

The OP mentioned that the youtube app buffers again, which shouldn't be the case. The OP should have expected the video to remained paused at that same point and the buffer to not disappear. But the app reloads itself when it gets killed, buffering again.

Just for the record and remind some f you, O2X doesnt do **** for multitasking, ITS THE OS, please keep that in mind (yes we know O2X comes with really crappy software, but if youre here on XDA you probably flashed... I mean fixed that )
Now its true, stock kill apps almost immediately even freaking docs then browser then back to docks... feels like an ithing (even now it doesnt do much multitasking, what it does it saves a preview and when you re-open it shows you the preview instantly but it loads a while, not immetiately responsive), but a custom rom, oh thats a whole new story, best one is CM7/MIUI and even better a custom CM7 kang the best imho
My advice try not multitask with more than 2 app which require heavy ram, like Nova 2 & opera browser, just remember this u won't get any problem.

This rom is good overall, but I find that whenever I'm playing music, there is a slight delay/lag if I switch to another application or even rotate the screen. I've read several posts about the same issue and the recommendation is to delete DSP manager. I did that, but it doesn't remove the lag. Is there anyone out there with a solution to this annoying lag/bug?
Yeah man! And if i use Overclock up to 604 Mhz for max The Camera is Flickering
I rarely take pictures but I listen to music on my phone a lot , so I would really appreciate a fix to this issue.
if you are using 604 Mhz, it's the default speed. not overclocked.
