I noticed in my init log this line (with a simple "dmesg" from the shell):
init: cannot find '/system/bin/playmp3', disabling 'bootsound
anyone fixed this?
I imagine this is needed to hear some music during the boot, maybe while viewing the boot animation.
It would be nice to activate this feature on our phone, we could use for example the Desire bootsound (available in this thread "[Req] Original bootsound" in the Desire Themes and Apps).
Hello,
Have you find the playmp3 ?
I need it for boot sound.
I seach it in several custom ROMs, and Google without results.
Thanks
I'm sure there are tutorials from ages ago about it. I remember in owain94's CM7 on one version it played DROID really loudly. Scared the living daylights out of you on a random reboot!

Symptom: With the new evo based kernels there is too much mic gain and the remote party you are calling hears too much background noise and complains they can't understand you, or they think you are outside in a noisy place while you are indoors in a reasonably quiet place.
The fix is to use rootexplorer or similar file manager to rename default.acdb file in /system/etc/firmware (rename to any name you want, you can always rename it back) then reboot.
- Don't do this if you have a nexus one based kernel.
- BEWARE, if you rename default.acdb file you may start getting robo voice, depending on your winmo rom.
Renaming the file is all that is needed if you don't get robot voice.
If you get robo voice you need to change your winmo rom that has intentially older oem drivers (even if it is new base)
VBN Roms newest version works fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776971
Energy roms are also fine.
Miri's newest rom doesn't work. (has robo voice) (Keep in mind that this rom does not have robo voice with the default.acdb untouched)
If you have another winmo rom that doesn't have robo voice please post and I will add it here. Don't forget radio version please.
Please test and provide feedback about winmo roms, call quality and robo voice.
IF YOU WANT TO TEST BY YOURSELF call another phone that you hold on your ear and put hd2 on a table or something. And tap your nails to a hard surface within 1 meter range. You will hear a lot of banging as if it is not your nails but a hammer. Then rename the defaut.acdb file and reboot. Test again and you will see the background noise (mic gain) is lowered to winmo levels and your nails sound like nails! And of course when you talk to
someone they will understand you clearly.
Credit goes to Cotulla, and a few people in htc-linux chat on netripper irc(log) and lippa from shubcraft thread.
Integrating this to android builds would be good development move.
Popular kernel info:
hastarins newer kernels, michyprimas r1 kernel, huanyus newer kernels are evo based.
michyprimas r11 is nexus one based.
if you have camera flash problems, you have an evo kernel.
EDIT: With some configurations, robo voice may only be present in first call only. And again with some configurations you may get system not responding: wait error on startup. Try: search and find new htcleo.acdb file and put it in the same folder as new kernels look for that filename.
Great post! I suspect a few have had this problem. I for one suffered this when using ANY EVO kernel. Now just to get BT working and its nearly perfect!
Great job buddy! Worked flawlessly! No more "speak slowly and NOT loudly please" comments from the people i call... I had VBN as Winmo so no robo voice...
Thanks again...
awesome
Great job! Worked perfect for me.
Kernel Help
What Kernel are you guys using? I've been trying some recent ones but they have not booted successfully. I've been using the desire Z build but I am going to give shubcraft's build another try.
what is that screen shot for?
No robo voice with leaked T-Mo 2.14 rom.

but there is no "firmware" folder all i got is "PPP" folder and a file named "AudioBTID"
i already searched the forum for 2 days and couldn't find a solution ..
tried several radios and several WM Roms with no luck i updated the kernal to the Evo latest 9th OCT and it didn't fix the problem ..

Try:
Update your su binary through superuser app settings TWICE.
Use rootexplorer app and search the filename (default.acdb)
What is your build BTW?
updated SU binary and everytime i run root explorer it force close ..??!!
i already granted the access via superuser and it doesn't work ...
i am using "shubCRAFT" 1.5
thanks for your help
@D69K
Can you try this:
Open up terminal emulator and enter these commands:
su
chmod 777 /system
mount -o remount rw /system
and try to see with Astro file manaeger if you could now see the contents of /system/etc/firmware.
Thanks!
Mic gain problem is fixed by it. No robot voice. T-mobile 2.14 rom
But there is error report about android.pocess.media stopped, and some media player cannot open due to this... I'm using mattc 1.8 with michy's R1 EVO kernel...
Thnx
This fix. Seem to be working great.
Been about 4 days of usage now, everybody is happy.
If you get android system not responding on bootup (with some builds) just tap wait. It will work normally.
Thanks a lot
Thanks, I it works perfect.
T-MO HD2, Miris 20.0 Radio 2.11 Android 2.2.1
By the way the EVO kernel now has a good camera flash (since 10/17?), just as the Nexus kernel.
Thanks.
Hi,
I noticed that my phone having background noise issue after upgraded to the latest mdeejay desire Rom version 2.6, so I try to use the method suggested in this post to fix it but seems there are actually two default.acdb, one is in /system/etc/firmware while the other one is in /etc/firmware. I am wondering which one I should rename or I need to rename both?
I tried to rename the one in /system/etc/firmware but seems still got heavy background noise. I am with radio 2.15 also tried radio 2.14.
Thanks for help in advance.

I finally deleted both default.acdb and it seems like the noise reduced a lot, thanks!
I just wondering what will be affectes by deleting these files?

CM wallpapers are inluded as system wallpaper, DSP Manager, CM stats are some to mention. These are pretty ordinary this needs a long work yet to be done.

Nice!
Problems:
- seems that graphics driver is in software mode
- headphones not works... plugin not detected, but unplug is ok - music stops and etc, as it should be in normal.
- CM settings? where are they ? no menu item in settings menu. no icon in applications...
- Random hangs of touch-driver... only device restart helps.
Believe most of problems comes from StreakDroid 2.0, but overall thats great! Thanks!
Give the guy a break, at least it's one more person trying to develop for the Streak 5 !
Hey dude, give the guy a break... he did say he has a lot of work ahead of him. What have your released for the Streak lately?
Man,
What happent with the version you were developing couple days ago? The one based on steve's 1.9? I was asking for another mirror, I was pretty happy with ur first version, was looking to download the second one. Did you retired that project for good? I cannot find that thread in here.
Maybe you can point me to download your rom, second version.
Thanks in advance
Cheers mate,

clockworkmod zips of frameworks and services.odex for the past 5 or 6 roms to give them a gingerbread look.
i agree, atleast theres one more guy whose trying to develop something for streak rather than ****ting on others tryd work
Totally agree! Thanks to the OP for contributing to the community. @Krad you should be encouraging any future talent not putting people down

Nice effort!
Well, OP you doing good.
this is your second attempt (as I know of).
and I am sure, with some more research you will do really good!
Dont lose focus
and, make Streak better !
God Speed.
and, yes, if someone finds it so ****ty, its not really so compulsory to download, nor is it to post, if you are really not positively contributing to the matter!
We like it, appreciate it, and are willing to help in development!
Period.
Good Work OP.
Do share some notes on, how you do stuff, may be we can develop faster - together!
That's surely if you wish to!

P.S.
so you basically just took someone else's work.. threw some minor graphics on to it and released it?

So, all the ROMs start off like that, and development on performance and algos make it a custom ROM!
there is no single ROM thats being written from 'scratch', is there?
Dont pick on the effort Krad!

no mattter how much noobies put their glowing references on this, this is not CM7.
it is a couple of very minor changes to sd 2.0.. adding some apks to system/app.
along the same lines as changing a bit of framework in a kitchen, in fact I'd say it took less effort than that.
Also RootExplorer is a paid app, including warez into Roms is not accepted

Yes this is not CM but I was tryin to get some extra features on already awsome streakdroid like DSP manager importing libs into system from CM got DSPManager working on streakdroid with clearly differentiable soundfx and I was able to check that through by bluetooth stereo headset & phone speaker only because wired stereo headset still not produce any sound(updated libs version I hav not yet uploaded because not many people will find it useful untill sound output issue is fixed) in fact I need some help from experienced developers like you on the sound output issue through regular stereo headset , I am also looking for browser from CM7 & root explorer will be removed from next version ,Thanks if you can help out....

You don't have a clue. Have you even tried the kitchen on the streak? There is zero customization that works with the streak. Once the kitchen is used it has to be dissected, graphics altered, odexs fixed for text color and other tweaks. You don't have a clue.
FARDS said it best.
I can take 5 minutes and take bits and pieces of cm7 apks, some from galaxy s 2 and some htc files and simply drag and drop them into djsteves roms... or I could even do it to a stock rom... does that make it a new rom?
What he accomplished here could easily be done by making a flashable clockworkmod zip.
I would love to see more cooks for the streak but would love to see a real effort.
If modifying frameworks and odex files are so easy to do with the kitchen, why is there only three people including myself that have released it? Jhotman...baldylocks....

Hello, so I'm the proud owner of a new Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and of course, my first action is to theme this phone as much as possible. I think I've got everything worked out with one exception which may or may not be possible - I'm trying to get the Zelda main menu music to play in the background of my homescreen.
Obviously, this isn't the sort of thing I'd want running while apps are running, or while my phone is locked. Just the homescreen.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
AFAIK nobody's written a program like this, but it is possible to write one. the best solution could be to add this extra to an open source launcher like ADW.Launcher

Hrm too bad. Thanks for the info though.
hello Xda users:
First of all, thanks for such an amazing and informative forum, its great just love it, and also thanks to all devs and specially to those working on MIUI its just way to beautyful and great.
now back to my post:
im new to all this about changing FWs and software to mobilephones, im a proud owner of a Xperia X10a and last weekend with a friend of mine installed OOdie MIUI wich i think is MIUI 2.1.20 version or at least that is what the "build number" says on the About info in my phone.
my issue is that i try to set a custom ringtone for my calls but does not work, tried with other MP3 and files but nothing seems to work. also when i try to listen to music the app keeps freezing and in the worst case scenario it power off my phone.
my question is, is there any newest version of MIUI? how can i know if mine is the lastest one? and finnally, is this an known issue? its there a fix for it?
everything else is just great but i would love to have a custom ringtone with me.
Thanks in advice i hope im not breaking any rules... (i searched with no luck)
PD: Any english Failureness its my fault, its not my primary Langage, im sorry.
ok. so i changed the song on the Theme settings and not in the System settings and seems to work just fine, at first didnt work with the file i left on the ringtone folder, but worked with some other i choose.
First, I would like my first post to include a THANK YOU to all of developers. Without you guys, my phone would be as boring as sober missionary with the lights off. So once again, thank you guys.
Now onto my problem...
I have tried about 6 or 7 of the ROMs listed here in the development forums. I enjoy each one for different reasons. Today I tried [ROM][CM9HYBRID] PARANOIDANDROID UNOFFICIAL June 25th *Hammer time!! and fell in love. This is the ROM that I would love to use as a daily driver. However, I have a major problem that I don't know how to fix.
Whenever I try to play music from any music player, I get a "cannot play file type" message. The file type is mp3. I have been running, like I said earlier, 6 or 7 ROMs throughout the week and have noticed that if it isn't based off of TW, I have the same problem with the other ROMs.
I'm really a noob when it comes to things like this so I followed the noob rules and looked for an hour for an answer to my question before eventually creating this topic. I'm sure the answer is simple to some, but I'm totally lost as to what to do to get mp3 playback functionality with this ROM. Is it a codec to download? I just don't know. Thanks in advance.
And the problem was transferring the files over to my phone using airdroid. I don't know why this caused a problem but once I connected a cable and moved them over, it works. Thought I would post my solution just in case someone runs into the same issue.

OP would you please edit your thread title to say "Solved" ?
Other reasons files don't play is where you purchased them from. iTunes-bought files have DRM protection so they only play on iTunes authorized machines.
