I come from the Samsung Vibrant Dev area. A friend of mine has a Droid X and all he does is flash Roms, doesn't know much about them. His phone does a TV like on/off animation when the screen goes on and off. What is that? Where is it located/ implemented. any info on it would be great. As search is down right now i cant search it. I am interested in possible porting it.
The liberty tool box has a bunch of different startup animations to choose from, I'm not sure if the one your looking for is in it but it does have the option to add ones from your SD card. Its meant to run on the x with the liberty rom but if you can port it then it might be a good place to start.
Edit:ah just reread your post you're looking for when it goes to sleep, sorry don't know that one. Sounds cool I'll have to look out for it.

Unless his rom is built on 2.3 I don't think it is. Since that power off tv animation is part of 2.3 and 2.3 only good luck.
I think you might be right but I thought it was a feature he was planning on adding. I did some searching and did find that the ultimate Droid has the feature, here's the link...

Edit: and just because its a feature of 2.3 doesn't mean its impossible to port it.

I've tried three or four Android ROMs and they all have incredibly loud in-call volume. Hoping one of you guys can recommend a ROM that works properly and fulfills its primary function as a phone. It's frustrating to see so much effort being put into fixing things like blurry MMS and LED notifications when the basic function as a usable phone that doesn't blast your eardrum to smithereens is overlooked.

Thanks!
Odd. Usually people complain about the low in-call volume on phone's. Here is the complete opposite. I would choose loud over too low any time
What roms are you using? Might give it a go. ;-)

x3, I thought I was going deaf when I first switched to using these roms.
Seems like you're a sense junkie, but if you can live without sense, I'm using cmn 2.0 by ocm and it seems okay. Also, most the gingerbread roms seemed fine, although those come with their own batch of problems.

In "Call Settings" you'll find a box for "Hearing Aids", check and enable this setting and you'll notice a slight increase in the volume.

Yeah I've noticed that the in call volume us a little low for me too. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I am surprised at the lack of information and help on the net for this issue. The in-call volume, and the speakerphone, are very quiet. Forget the radio and driving with the windows down, a moderate breeze is enough... I press the phone hard against my ear and still don't catch everything.
I've used CM's DSP manager to boost the speaker signal, and this isn't enough.
Even with full volume & the DSP boost, there is very little crackle. It's as if the speaker is barely utilized.
I haven't met anyone else with an Aria, but every other Android phone I've seen works perfectly fine as, you know, a phone.
I've never found anything for cm that raised the volume to the level I'd like.however drowning child ported 2 different sense roms that actually have pretty good volume.better than stock or cm.

When I started flashing I only stuck with Sense ROMs and audio playback was so so for me. When I tried out CM7 with DSP manager I was shocked at the difference in sound. DSP Gave a whole new life to my ear buds as well as my BT Sony S9-HD's. But thats about the only thing that I really enjoyed about CM7. I would rather have a Sense ROM but my phone is my only mp3 device and I can't stand the way music sounds on Sense ROMs after hearing music while using CM7
I've looked around and messed with a few of my sense roms with Beats removing the lib files associated with beats and the stock libs and replaced them with the libs associated with DSP Manger as well as the apk but the sound just isn't the same as when using CM7.
So what I'm wondering, is there a way to remove, before flashing or after, all sound files related to audio playback and replace them with the necessary files from CM7 to make music sound as if I were on a CM7 ROM?
try the Equalizer app on the market, I personally use PlayerPro with the DSPpack

is beats audio only included in that ROM or can someone get it separately?
seeing how your question is how to remove it i take it that you wouldn't recommend it would you..lol
i too am currently using equalizer, it's great except for the annoying icon on the tray in the top left corner
i believe it works just as good if not better then beats as it is compatible with all songs.
i hear beats only works with stock music on some devices

From what I've read it showed how to intsall beats. I'm assuming I can do the opposite by removing the pieces to beats before flashing and replace them with the ones for DSP from cm7?

That should work.
Download the CM7 ROM and Download whatever Sense ROM you plan on flashing (I personally recommend Bindroid and all it's Glory )
Put both Roms on your computer if they aren't already and extract the zip files.
Navigate to
"System/App" Find the Beats APK and remove it from the Sense Rom.
Navigate to the System/App directory of CM7 and Pull the DSP Apk and move it to the Sense Rom you are using.
Rezip the ROM you plan on installing and sign it.
Install.
Note that I don't know 100% that this will work; I don't know how beats is installed, and I don't know how DSP is installed it could be more complicated then that and you could also end of soft bricking your phone if it is from a system incompatibility. If I'm wrong then I apologize in advance, but there's still that chance that it could work.
Will I need to change the lib files from the /system/lib/soundfx folder as well?
Sent from my Glacier using XDA
My assumption would be yes. Because MIUI and Sense are so different I don't know that it will even work. You will probably have to pull everything related to Beats. I'm still just starting, but you'll probably have to edit your install to direct the extra install components and tell it to fix the permissions. (I haven't dabbled much there but I'd assume that should be fairly easy yet slightly time consuming)

lol Know the feeling; I'll pull the CM7 ROM and the Bindroid Rom and work with them to see if I can't get what you wanted to be done completed and I'll let you know ASAP; I might give it a try before the end of the day; if not you might have to wait about a week (Sorry, trying to fix my ROM as well atm lol)
Hey, np! Thanks for the help too! This is the kinda thing that makes xda what it is.

Did someone found a way to remove it since when I flashed with JaggyRom which have BeatsAudio sound is extremely worst.

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.
Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

TeamDRH over in the gTablet forums have added something similar to this into their ICS ROM for gTablet. Might be a useful place to look.
Ok well.I went and remove like all telephony apk in my Rom and some app don't work like he said

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!
**EDIT:
Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom
Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui

So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?
I'll try it out on my phone, see if I can't replicate the issue and speak with the dev. Exactly what MIUI build are you on?
*EDIT:
Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.
jellybellys-mod-wifionly-MIUI
Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.
