UPDATE from 26.10.2010
Darkstone has investigated on this issue and his final patch has been pushed to GIT and is now included in newer kernels.
The new stock-kernel can be found here or here.
Also hastarin has updated his kernel here.
Thanks to Darkstone and all guys who had helped!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Message before 25.10.2010 (Thread can be closed):
I think we have a solution workaround for the problem with music stuttering.
Edit: Users reported that with this workaround quadrant stalls to appr. 1.000 points (confirmed) and some youtube issues...
For video and youtube-issues you can find an explanation & workaround here.User ChrisM001 gave me the critical hint in this post.
Here is the guide once more:
Reason is the stagefright player. Try disabling it by setting
media.stagefright.enable-player=false in /sytem/build.prop
build.prop can be manipulated by droid explorer.
To be safe I checked the previous FroyoStone Sense - V3.1 build and voila - the parameter was originally set to false.
This explains why the FroyoStone Sense - V3.1 was the only build for me without any music stuttering but also the only one with about 1.000 quadrant scores.
Interestingly the low quadrant score didn't let me feel to have a slow android. User hastarin confirmed my investigations here.
I tried the solution workaround with several builds, i.e.
FroyoStone Sense - V3.2
mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8
mdeejay FroYo Sense v.1.1 clean
and it works for me!
It is very important to restart after applying the 'patch'.
Edit: User memin1857 reported another possible workaroud here.
However, the conclusions of success are inconsistent.
Users report that Android isn't booting anymore.
As far as I could not test it yet (have to go to university)
use it at your own risk or better do backup in advanceAll credits go to ChrisM001
I can confirm it works with mdeejay evo sense 1.6
What does stagefright do?
Bloody hell... It worked~! THANKS MATE~
Fixed my mdeejay's HD 3.6~
Could someone explain to me how to open the build.prop file? When I go into Droid Explorer and try to open the file, I get a message that says "Windows can't open this file". Is there something I have to do in Droid Explorer, to open the file and reright it? Thanks.

First copy the file to your harddisk.
Then open it with an editor (I am using notepad++).
After editing copy it back using droid explorer.
please make this post a sticky!!!!!! I have seen this issue everywhere and in almost all of the roms....... Finally a working solution!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks!!!!
Oooo, Thanks..My music working fine now ....

Wow, it actually worked.
Tested on:
MDeejay froyo z and hd, mattc1.8, darkstone froyo, and mdeejay evo warm.
Tested with multiple kernels too (hastarin 4.1, 7.4 and 7.5, and michyprima r1 and r2.) (I was just trying to see if I could get it to skip).
Thank you soooooo much
Dude! You ROCK! Thanks so much for the fix! Tried it on Mdeejay's Evo v1.7 and it works! Gonna go thru the other 4 versions on my sdcard and fix them. Thanks A LOT!
Thank you :>
THANK YOU!!!!!
used root explorer (android app) and edited file within android (long press on file).
after reboot - perfect sound!

It fixes mp3-player and slows cpu my bench results in quadrant went back to 1100 (down from 1700), the cpu score is very low
edit: especially decoding time for video / audio in quadrant increased, strange one..

After trying several combinations with rom, radio, kernel, build and so on i think i finaly found a solution to the problem described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805002
As posted in thread above the solution to Bad sound and Mic Gain was renaming or deleting the default.acdb. In the later builds this resulted in non responcing error and I personaly feelt that it did something bad with the build/kernel.
When testing out [build][1.12.2010][beta] desire hd2 I suddenly had no mic gaing or high volume in call.
So I copied the default.acdb and htcleo.acdb from that build and pasted them in to my daily build(see signature) in /system/etc/firmware.
The files are attached to this post below. REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR OLD FILES FIRST
You have to do a full reboot for the changes to take effect.
Tip: Use "root explorer" from marked and remember to update SU.
And now I have crystal clear sound both ways.
Maybe some of the devs should look into this?
I know many of the members that was using the [build][1.12.2010][beta] desire hd2 has problems with to low sound when using the attached files so they had to replace these files with the files that gave me high mic gain and to high volume.
EDIT 07.12.2010: letama clarifyed somethings. We actually just need to copy in the htcleo.acdb and that will overrule the default.acdb.
I will give these files a try. I recently switched from froyostone v3.1 to MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3. I had froyostone running very sweet. But wanted to give the Desire HD build a chance. I also noticed in HDv4.3 that the over sensitive mic and high volume was back and was actually on xda to look for a new solution.
Was about to mention it in the respective thread till I saw this. I will post back to let you know if it worked for me. Then maybe you can post it on the
MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3 thread for others. BRB
Didn't work on MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3.

Strange.. What file explorer did you use? Try update SU and use root explorer and not ES. (I have had some problems with ES i the past and always use root explorer instead.)
It does work with MDJ v4.3. You have to do a FULL reboot for the changes. However there is no htcleo.acdb file in this version. Strange that it is in one HD desire version but not the other.

When you are inside the folder /system/etc/firmware, in root explorer you have a white button in top right corner IF that button says: "Mount R/W" touch it ones and it will change to "Mount R/O".
If you still having problems try reboot and update SU. Now you can try pasting the acdb files in that folder.
What do you mean by "Update SU". What does SU stand for. Sorry, for the nooby question.

Let me clarify things a bit.
I did the htcleo.acdb file, it was designed specifically for hd2 running android. It only works with a relatively recent evo kernel as there is some changes in the kernel to use it. Most of the kernel floating around are now compatible except the one that are "rmnet" compatible, based on the previous linuxtogo kernel.
The patch I did for kernel is working like this:
1) search for htcleo.acdb, if present, use it with the appropriate modification. It should behave like wince regarding audio/mic.
2) If no htcleo.acdb, search for default.acdb, if present, use it. As it's for native android, it should have louder audio, but also inappropriate mic gain.
3) no acdb, or acdb renamed, it uses values in memory that was previously set by wince. Audio/mic should be fine if your radio and rom are compatible with linux audio driver. If not, you could end up with "robotic" voice or some other problems.
So, if you're using an evo kernel, the best solution should be htcleo.acdb, you can even remove default.acdb.
If you like louder sound, you can use default.acdb, but you will suffer of the mic gain/echo problem.
If you are using a rmnet kernel, rename default.acdb should be your best option, but make sure your radio/rom are compatible.
One last point, a wrong camera/camera libs could crash audio badly up to the point that you'll get robotic/audio problems.

Two possibilities:
1) some builds already incorporate htcleo.acdb
2) Renaming or deleting default.acdb works like htcleo.acdb if you have the right rom/radio combination.

Hi, I am using Android on my hd2 from the last 4 months. I don't have any problems till the last week. But now I am getting different sounds like rain drops in ears while in call which is really unbearable. I could find this thread could help me.
I have this issue on all Desire HD builds I tried. I am currently using motoman's glacier sense. My wm Rom is stock 3.14 Indian version with 2.15.50 radio version.
I tried the work around posted in this thread in the first post, but it doesn't helped me even a little. If this is the situation I can not run Android on my mobile anymore.
Can some one please help me?
Thank you!

I dont think that "drop sound" is fixed by this. You should try searching or make a question post in the Q/A forum. I personally never heard about this before.
For the record i dont make roms! I downloaded this rom from miui.com and added the english pack and the old market since the new market wouldnt download for me. I have been using it and so far only thing that doesnt work for me is the Theme Downloader. Try it out and let me know if it works for you. I have only tried it with Magldr but the rom comes with a SD rootfs.img too so it should work. Someone check the data i use a mifi for my mobile net so im not sure if it works or not. Enjoy
Data is confirmed working! This rom is Android 2.2.1 using warrens 2.6 kernel.
UPDATE - Ok i added an updated 1.2.19 version which fixes the force close when setting wallpapers and the new market is back and working. MIUI 1.2.25 has dropped now and 3dak has released an sd version already.
Updated DOWNLOAD
Thanks for posting... I'll check this build out tonight.

ROM running fast, stable. Some errors such as not setup themes from the home screen (force close).

I am current trying the 18-12 and 24-12 build, both work fine except the 24-12 build can't download app from market. I have tried all the method shared in forum and still the same. The GTalk is not ale to sign in too....

this build can download from the market because i swapped the newer market out with the old market. and gtalk seems to work fine too.

********************************************************************************
[Original Thread]
I have seen several threads regarding this topic and thought I'd try to consolidate as much as I can in one place.
Credit for the original IMEI work goes to mthe0ry His original thread is here.
Because the NOOK Color is not a phone it does not have an IMEI number. This is why some apps that check for an IMEI number do not work on the NOOK.
Thanks to the work of mthe0ry and now DizzyDen it is possible to modify the framework.jar file in order to create a fake IMEI number on the NOOK Color. Doing so will allow programs such as Swype Beta, the free version of the XDA app, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app to work on the NOOK Color.
Unfortunately you need to have a framework.jar file that matches the ROM you are running as changes to the framework between ROMs can (and probably will) cause problems.
[See DizzyDen's thread for the IMEI generator tool]
*** This is mostly obsolete now that Dizzy's tool handles replacing the framework.jar file and backs up your original file - but I will leave it here just in case it is still useful to someone. ***
Installation:
You will need a file manager with Root access such as Root Explorer.
Download the framework.jar file for your Rom.
Unzip the file and transfer the framework.jar file to your NOOK Color.
Navigate to /System/framework using Root Explorer.
Mount the /System/framework folder R/W.
Rename the original framework.jar to framework.jar.bak.
Using Root Explorer, copy the new framwork.jar file.
Paste the modified framework.jar into /System/framework.
Long press the newly copied framework.jar and select "Permissions".
Change the permissions to match framework.jar.bak [rw-r--r--].
Mount the /System/framework folder R/O.
I recommend you reboot your NOOK although resetting the launcher may be enough.
For those that used my original files or the ones from mthe0ry, the original IMEI used in those files is "12-34567-89012-45". If you wish to continue using this IMEI number [NOT RECOMMENDED] you can manually enter it into Dizzy's tool.

I know that nightly 78 was the last nightly that runs on .29 kernel all the new nightlys 80,82,83 and 84 need uboot 1.2 and .32 kernel. I have read that some people have been experiencing problems on these builts. Also being that .32 kernel is still label beta i would like to ask you if you could please make a framework for nightly 78. I have attached the framework file from my nightly 78. Thank you
Finally was able to reboot after copying framework82. Was able to sign in but have yet to play a movie. I get stuck in the spinning circle.

I did a total wipe, stock 1.2 install, then a second total wipe before n82. I then added the modded framework and HBO GO worked really well! But, after adding Dal's 5/13 OC, I then got the spinning circle problem you describe.
I tried re-flashing just n83 to fix it (without Dal's OC), and re-installing the modded framework, but the spinning circle problem remains.
I can't say for sure that the OC kernel broke it -- it could be one of a dozen apps I installed? -- but it's certainly the leading culprit in my case. The 5/13 OC kernel also appeared to break a few of my other apps as well (360 Live failed too, but started working again after I returned to vanilla n83).
I'm going to start the entire process over again tonight to try and narrow down the problem...
I have the 5/13 OC installed but HBO GO is now working on my Nook. Just need to uninstall and reinstall HBO GO. Worked like a charm for me.

We are going to fix this in CM soon. Please don't break every other program that uses IMEI to identify a UNIQUE device! I suggestion that no-one uses this. You are really playing with fire here.

I do appreciate your warning (and, as always, all your hard work), but Dal came out and stated plainly that an IMEI solution would not get added to cm7 builds, so the rest of us took his word for it and had to solve the problem some other way.
Now, if you're saying that the solution WILL be built into one of the next few nightlies -- with unique IMEI's -- then that's fantastic!!
However, without it, there's currently no other way to run HBO GO, Swype, etc -- unless we compile our own framework.jar... which isn't an option for some of us noobs.
Has work already begun on a better solution?

I meant the static IMEI hack as presented in this thread. This hack will not be added to CM7.
We are working on a real solution as we speak.

This is great news!!!
I will cease and desist as soon as it it completed. Obviously the best thing would be for people to follow mthe0ry's instructions and do this themselves (it's really not that hard) using their own unique IMEI number. That said I'm happy to continue the "hack" method for those who don't wish to do it themselves.
Yes, having multiple devices with the same IMEI could become problematic but so far it's worked for the apps people want. I do appreciate the warning as I probably wasn't as clear about the "hack" nature of this in the OP as I should have been.

I know that nightly 78 was the last nightly that runs on .29 kernel all the new nightlys 80,82,83 and 84 need uboot 1.2 and .32 kernel. I have read that some people have been experiencing problems on these builts. Also being that .32 kernel is still label beta i would like to ask you if you could please make a framework for nightly 78. I have attached the framework file from my nightly 78. Thank you

slide it
please disregard below. in reading the thread better I can see it's not for swype at all but for setting the nook up with an IMEI.
I don't mean to be rude, but why not just use slide-it? I'm cognisant of the simplicity of swype as I use it daily on my Galaxy S, but slide-it is nearly as good and works without fault on the nook (rooted stock and CM7) without any mods.

Many of us use this hack for HBO GO, not just Swype...
First zip file is for which Rom?

Opps - Typo. It is for CM7 Stable 7.03
I added a note to the first post. I'll try to fix the file name when I get home tonight. I'm sure there will be 1 or two more nightly builds as well.

It's also needed for a number of Gameloft titles.

Concerns about unique devices make me wonder... I have a broken HTC Kaiser sitting on a shelf above my desk. It will never again be a functional device, but yet it has it's own unique IMEI.
Does the IMEI alone tell apps anything about what sort of device belongs to the number? If not, then it seems that I could use the IMEI from that Kaiser or the broken G1 I have.
It doesn't seem like these apps know anything about the device from the IMEI alone, given that people have been implementing this fix with no repercussions. That means apps probably don't check any hypothetical IMEI-device info against what's recorded in the build.prop, so this seems like a safe, workable solution for those of us with defective devices on our shelves.
Is there a way to make this work on a ManualNootered nook with 1.2, or does it only work if you have a custom rom.
Thanks
integrate in CM7
could you not ask the maintainers of CyanogenMod to integrate this in the future nightlies?
they would probably welcome the added functionality
The only rom i have been able to get working somewhat right is CM 7.03 and
that just means it plays and sound is synced .the double layout seems to break
the links and descriptions of the movies on the main page.
So what rom are you suing for this?
Cm7 nightly 83 runs just fine. Just had to edit my build.prop file to say HTC vision instead of gtab.
Layout fix for descriptions/episode selection on CM7.0.3 can be found here:

Thanks again to scubasteve85.
I used the version of the Neflix apk that has the device check disabled in CyanogenMod 7.0.3 without any changes to any files. It streamed just fine without any weird issues like the chipmunk effect some folks are reporting with using different apks.
Also, Robeet has posted a link to a hack he created to make it work in VEGAn 5.1.1 which you can find in the ROMs section in the VEGAn 5.1.1 thread. It works fine for me as well.
I have the original APK that was posted here awhile ago, and it's running fine w just the change to build.prop, on stock TNT.

On mine, it is working perfectly with CM 7.0.3.1 without modifying any files, just like above.
However, it didn't work well on CM Nightly (I think it was 83 or 87...I'm not near my gTablet right now)...I got the "chipmunk" effect (video was playing at twice the speed).

There is a fix for the chipmunk effect, you have to modify the build.prop file but it worked for me.
Good news, I've been able to get Netflix working on vegan-tab GE by using some of the libs from the latest CM 7 stable version. This evening, I will work on creating a flashable patch with those libs for anyone interested.

I'm having some issues creating an updater-script that actually works. I've never had to create on before, so if anyone has any experience with this please tell me where the errors are
Essentially, all I need to do is add to, and copy over, some files in system/lib/ and set permissions. I haven't started working on the permissions part because I can't even get the files to copy! The .zip runs with no errors, I just don't have any files actually copied.
Code:
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("Updating libraries...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Update complete");
unmount("/system");
Hope you get it figued out... I'm looking forward to it.
Please get it working vegan ginger is what im on and this is all its missing ,wishing u success in your en-devours !!!!
Can you elaborate on the libraries involved? I assume we could use Root Explorer to update them manually.
Sure, if you don't mind doing the legwork. The libs that I have replaced from CM 7.0.3 stable (sorry, can't post links yet) are:
libhwmediaplugin.so
libhwmediarecorder.so
libopencorehw.so
libstagefright.so
libstagefrighthw.so
libsurfaceflinger_client.so
libwebcore.so
omxplayer.so
Copy/replace as necessary. Don't forget to set permissions.
Enjoy Netflix!

Which version of the netflix apk did you use? I transfered all of the libs and fixed permissions but when I run Netflix it says my device is unsupported.
Awesome. Works like a charm. You are the man. I was never a big fan of CM7 and love Vegan Ginger. Thanks.

Thank you!! This worked flawlessly. This is what I've been waiting for on Vegan Ginger. For those having problems be sure to update your build.prop file to set the manufacturer to HTC and the model to HTC Vision
What version of Netflix are you using?
What version of Netflix are those of you who have this working on Vegan GE using? It's working for me on version 1.2.1, but the continuous prompting to update the app is a slight nuisance. Is anyone using 1.2.2 successfully with this fix of Vegan GE?
I've never gotten a prompt for device unsupported. Are you using the stock build.prop?
I'm using the latest Netflix apk. 1.2.2 I believe.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
If you look in the apps section there is a link to the new Netflix version, thinks its 1.2.2.
Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate the help. Getting Netflix to work on Vegan GE (along with all its other niceties) makes this ROM pretty much perfect for my interests.
btw -okthr-, I posted a reply to the Vegan GE thread under the Development forum with a link to your post about the Netflix fix and your plea for help on creating an update script. Hopefully, some of the DEVs will take a look and offer some feedback on the script errors you were seeing. Thanks Again!!!
