[Q] Skipping music on GB? - Motorola Droid X2

I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the skipping music on the rooted GB just like it was on Froyo?

I'm on completely stock gingerbread, unrooted, and music skips constantly. I don't even have anything open. This is a terribly programmed phone.

stock update, no issues as of yet, much smoother than 2.2 was in my experiance. Standard Music app.

Stock froyo - music was essentially unplayable
Rooted froyo with v6 supercharger - flawless music
Rooted gingerbread WITHOUT v6 supercharger - some popping and skipping, in general much better than froyo stock though.
Just curious, what format and bitrate are you playing. It seems not to matter on my end, mp3 at 320 kbs is usually just as bad as a 45 minute podcast that uses 8 megs of space (not sure of the bitrate, but probably 16-32kbs)
Just curious, after sbf finished, did you let the phone boot or wipe it before it booted? Did you wipe from recovery or from within the OS? I let it boot and did the wipe from within the OS. Curious to know what you did.

Im not sure what bitrate off hand but it is better then Froyo. I had to wipe from stock recovery before the phone booted after I sbf because it was in a boot loop.

I had major issues on Froyo stock and almost took the phone back because of it. V6 super cleared things up quick and only a slight hiccup at the beginning of the first song played IF the player was close previously.
GB skips a bit and then a lot more when trying to multitask but after upping the heap size that's completely gone.

Stock was 32 and so pushing it to 36 was all the app would let me do.

Could someone please explain how to change the heap size. A few sentences about what that means would also be great. Thanks.

I used the app below for $1.50 and found it had some really neat stuff to boot so the price was worth it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.roottools&hl=en
If you open the app it's under Tweaks and Hacks, Build properties, and then Dalvik VM Heap. If you use the "get current vm heap size" it should returned 32 and i chose 36m.
Let me know how that works out for you guys...

You can edit it yourself but there's much more to the tool so i opted to pick it up and take the hassle out of modifying some other advanced settings.

Changing the heap size (to 36) did nothing for me, as I still get considerable amounts of popping during audio playback. Are there any other suggestions other than sbfing and installing the update again? Thanks.

That used to be a kernel issue on the fascinate. The clock freq. would be slow to ramp up during multitasking with audio playing. The fix was to prevent the cpu from dropping to 100mhz. But you had to have a clockable kernel.

Root tools also has a build prop editor baked in, you don't have to use the values it suggests.

(Q) Best apps for rooted users?

I wanted to know what sweet apps people use to take full advantage of root. I'm running Ginger bread and want to know if I'm missing out on anyother cool things with root?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I wouldn't say that you're missing it, but here are a few of the apps that I consider requisite (for myself) when flashing new rom's on a regular basis:
TitaniumBackup - a must. spend the extra for the paid version. Very handy for restoring apps and settings. I figure it paid for itself the first time I ran batch operations.
DialerOne - a phone app similar to the stock Sense version that has T9 equipped for keypad dialing... (eg: I press 666 for "Mom")
HandcentSMS - my preferred messaging app.
Wireless Tether - at least I don't have to pay for mobile hotspot
The rest are just the typical apps I DL should I need them:
1337pwn (xbox friends list), dopewars, ebay, fandango, google maps/skymaps/my tracks, gps status, IMDB (satisfies my inquiries for random movie trivia), Mint (finances), speedtest, Swype
...and of course, the XDA Premium app! Seriously, its $1- why wouldn't you have it?

There's a nice list over on AF in the Droid X root forum (http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/131944-favorite-root-applications.html). Credit to Trident for gathering these up over there. Note: these are not Droid X specific.
Here's the short version:
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
Terminal Emulator
CacheMate
Drocap2
Wireless Tether for Root Users
AdFree Android
GScript
AutoKiller
Reboot Control Widget
SetCPU
Temp Monitor
I would put Quickboot in there too (along with my AFV app, of course).
Cheers!
To me, the whole essence of rooting your phone is the control and freedom you gain. Don't like the OS, change it. Don't like a protected app, uninstall. Boot animation, change it. Volume not loud enough, turn it to 11. Colors, change them. Need more storage, move data apps to system, or data cache to cache, cache. Cpu not fast enough, overclock it.
Android becomes whatever You want it to be. Not what some board room marketing geniuses said they thought it should be.

System Tuner

Anyone uses this app yet. It was recommend by Clemsyn on XDA as a better alternative to setcpu. I download the free version in the market, but the UI is a bit confusing. Seems like a little better optimization available.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I saw his recommendation and downloaded the free version. I its a little overwhelming as i'm still noobish, but it seems to have a larger breadth of options than set cpu. As far as its relative reliability, i'm not sure. There is no "apply" button for uv steps tho, so an unintentional finger slip can cause your phone to freeze! just try it out, see if you like it I guess

I have been using this ever since it came out it replaces a lot of apps out there and the CPU tuner is compatible with dual core phones and utilizes them completely. It has an app manager, auto starts, frequency controls, sd booster and many more uses. I for one think it is one of the best apps I have in my root arsenal .

I was using this for a little and noticed something weird im running the v6 supercharger scripts and in my memory settings the last mem setting would change from 275mb to 256mb. I tried everything so that it wouldnt mess with my supercharger scripts but no go. I unistalled it and everything has been back to normal. Anyone else notice this?

Go to the bottom, download the last attachment...I've that's a pdf, beta 9 6.3. Next go to market download script manager. open script manager, browse as root, then go to you're download location of the file and click on it. Within new menu, clock on SUn near top then click run. Follow the instruction and when all the option show up select option #9, super 1000 HP. Let it finish when the option show up again choose option 26 to reboot. Let it reboot etc. after it reboots open script manager then go to this directory: /data
Look for the 99 super charger.sh file that was created, select it. In new menu select SU and BOOT. Then click safe, then finally turn it off and let it reboot. And voila enjoy your super charged phone.... I noticed a HUGE IMPROVEMENT is sharpness and responsiveness.

Pretty much the same in AnTuTu and CF Bench for me. What is smoother is the overall UI experience. I don't do much gaming on the Note, I have a TF101 with emulators for gaming if I want to play some mobile games.
I used to run this on my Infuse but was not sure if I wanted to try on my new Note. With no CWM to do a Nandroid backup just in case.
Just installed it and it works great as usual!
Thanks for testing this out!
I'll post the pdf in a few

I used to use that on my dell streak and it worked.
I find that ROM TOOLBOX provides a more refined way to alter the OOM settings, plus you can increase SD card speeds, access build.prop, sys ctl tweaks - plus u can run them at bootup too... It's a lot easier - give it a try
i followed the instructions. Can someone explain what this actually does, in English?
This thread should be moved to Development.
Does seem to make the device more responsive. I can actually use ADW EX launcher again. Before I did this it had considerable more lag. Now it's almost like using a custom ROM on my SkyRocket.
u have to be rooted though?
i didnt really want to root until CWM and roms are out
and something to prevent triangle and flash count
Root is required to run script manager.
Works great on my Note. Helped to smooth it out and give it a litttle more speed.
When I was on the Infuse a lot of the DEV's included it in their ROM's
changes the out of memory (OOM) settings - androids native task manager - helps keep your launcher in memory too, most ppl will notice that you see ReDraws a lot less and smoother/snappier scrolling

would'a been nice to know ahead of time, tx for posting Dave.
needs to be moved to AT&T Galaxy Note I717 Android Development i agree.
I used the Super Charge Script on my Epic and Epic Touch so I am familiar with how it makes the device smoother/snappier. But I do have a question. If you have programs like Facebook, Wordfeud, weather apps, timelines, etc., set to check for updates and alerts say every hour, will this kill them to free up RAM and keep you from receiving updates? I never seemed to have any problems with my Epic, but want to know for sure how it works.

You don't have a /data/local.prop!

CM9 DX2 gutting

I came from a blackberry where gutting the os is a way of life.
What all can be removed without affecting function, while freeing up space?
So far, from system/apps, I have dropped most of the live wallpapers and apps I don't use
I have tried deleting ringtones I don't use but that put me into a boot loop and had to wipe and reload.
Any ideas on how to safely delete more useless files?
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
it really doesn't gain you anything other than a placebo effect if you are used to devices with less than sufficient memory. The Dx2 has lots of memory and CM9 doesn't come with bloatware.

Really?
From what I have already cleaned up I can tell a difference is less lock ups already. The available ram went from 86% used to 69%
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
Freezing some apps will free RAM, especially on services you don't use if those apps run by default. However the live wallpaper apk is not running if you aren't using one from that package, therefore it is redundant. If you don't use corporate exchange, try freezing the email.apk and the exchange.apk. If you feel adventurous, nandroid your cm9 and freeze all the apps that don't look important. If you get stuck with a bootloop, simply nandroid back. Simple.
I recommend freezing RomManager (we can't use it).
It wont free up RAM, but it will stop Google Play from updating it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
What I have been doing is each morning I freeze one app, I use my phone all day and if there are no problems I delete it the next morning and freeze a new one.
So far I think I've done some good with my phone since I have deleted everything I can from the system folder.
The trick to deleting ringtones is confirm all profiles are set to the same ringer and notification. Then delete all the others.

Well then you have done something amazing, since the Android memory manage strives to keep RAM around 80% full all the time, by design and that's how it works best. If you remove every single app you should be able to achieve around 90% free and everything should run like liquid butter. And yes, this Alpha is more stable if you do not touch the phone or run anything.

Grab a 50lbs weight and go run up a hill. Now do it again with 20lbs. What's easier running with more useless weight or less?
I loaded a task manager widget that shows percentage of memory used (ram) i went from 60/404 to 123/404 after dropping useless files.
With all due respect the Android OS is nothing more than an Iphone with Blackberry problems. I have used all 3 i like Droid best but it has room for improvement, as everything does.
Im applying what i learned from the BBos to this one and it appears to work. Now you can be a negative fly on the wall all you want but someone else will read this topic and try it. Once a few do it and my results are duplicated you'll see it was useful to try something
Plus what's the worst that happens, you boot loop and have to reload?
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
Just a little check in.
I booted up this morning at 193/404 that's using 52% ram
I took everything out of system/apps i could and cleaned any app off my phone i don't or can't use. I also enabled "long hold back button to kill apps" instead of jumping back to the home screen when im done in an app i kill it.
All the above are habits i learned to service on a blackberry.
I wish more people would try and get my results.
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
with all due respect unless you have rewritten the Android OS, it simply doesn't work like that.
. Android likes to keep memory about 70-80 % full once it settles so that when it needs a task you were using before its faster to reactivate it than to load from scratch. You can kill things, but the OS will load them again anyway. If you fight that with 3rd party mem / task managers, it will degrade performance, not improve it. But if you insist on believing some fantasy about memory management. by all means ....
Maybe im wording this wrong.
Would it help if i changed the title to gutting an android.
I love CM9, ive even bought the developer a case of beer. Hahaha
Im not doubting what the system wants to do. Im just trying to guide it better by removing worthless files and managing ram with white and black lists.
For example I dont need dropbox to be running in the background when im not using it.
Make sense

You will notice a big Jump in performance if you stop using a task manager.
You are better off playing with min free values and oom adj values.
I understand removing apps and files you don't use, I.do the same thing on my nexus.
But when it comes down to it, the task manager app is REALLY doing more harm than good. Of course when you use the task manager its going to seem like its doing what you want it to, thats how the apps are written, so that you FEEL like you're getting results you want.
Fact is, task managers haven't been needed in android OS for a log time now. Most ESPECIALLY if you are running an ICS based rom.
Trust me, if you wanna see an increase in overall smoothness, mess with min free and oom settings, and dump the task manager.
Or just keep doing what you're doing, just don't get offended when almost everyone tells you that clearing apps from memory and using task manager to kill apps is doing more harm then good.
There is a HUGE difference between an app RUNNING in background, and an app being cached in RAM. If you go to your manage apps list in settings and go to running apps, you most likely won't have many apps actually running and hogging system resources. If you switch to the cached tab you SHOULD see lots of apps in cache. Which means next time you open them it will open faster and use A LOT LESS CPU to get it going.
I do agree with getting rid of appd and files you don't use tho. I have ALWAYS felt that removing apps that are cached in ram that I do not use, will give more space for apps that I DO use to be cached.
But a task manager will not grant you that ability.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Android operates like.Linux, but not EXACTLY like Linux even tho it is VERY similar. A good thread to read on how is memory management works is the official v6supercharger thread started by zeppelinrox. That guy has torn thru the android os on the memory management level and his first few posts in that thread(even tho they may not make the most sense to you at first) have a LOT of valuable info in them.

Did you also turn on the option.in v6supercharger for the nitro lag nullifier also? It used to be option #20 i believe.
I always did and i swear, (placebo or not), it used to smooth out everything even more.
Then on top of v6, i would also run Kick ass kernelizer(KAK) with. I/O tweaks implemented (make a nandroid first just in case it bootloops ya..if it bootloops just pull battery and.put back in then plug phone into wall,.it will.boot BSR(since our bsr hijacks charge.mode) & you can restore nandroid) and it would be even more buttery.
Enjoy!
I'm glad I could help turn you away from task managers/killers
Your Android experience should improve greatly
Did the kak at lunch. Running nicely so far.

[READ] Music "Skips"

Okay, so I'm a massive music player fan. Honestly. I jam to dubstep and metalcore (blessthefall, AILD, August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage, etc.) and I LOVE the quality of my music. BUT, recently, the last couple weeks or so, my music will randomly "skip" for a split second. What I mean is, it'll pause for a quarter second and then resume, even though it's not supposed to. Here's an example.
"You'll never stop until you get what you want,
You think you have control, you tried to take mine,
But I won't leave (0.25 second pause, then resume) until I get what I want,
Over and (0.25 second pause, then resume) over, bending and breaking!"​
I don't know why it does this, because it hasn't before. I HAVE tweaked with the build.prop, but not with anything that should affect quality of music. Also, the screen is off, WiFi/Data/Sync, etc. so it isn't like, "user lag" interfering with it. I usually know the ins and outs of Android, but I'm stumped here. Any ideas mates?
ALSO, this isn't a massive problem, but it gets annoying. My songs are about 5 minutes in length or so.. And it happens probably about once every 2 or 3 songs. But still, it's annoying me mostly because I *don't* know what it is.
And one time it ruined my favorite bass drop. That's what set me off and made me make this post.
Have you tried a different music player? The stock LG one is crap.

Yes, I've used Apollo, ZPlayer, Nexmusic, Now Playing, Shuttle... Poweramp.. All the big ones pretty much.
Does this happen only when the screen is off?

I believe both, but not sure. I don't think it happens when streaming video (YouTube, etc.) I think it's just local content. I do torrent, but it isn't the files.

Did you install any mods that could have changed your CPU settings? I'm thinking that your phones processor is going too slow when its screen is off and that's causing the stutters. Try reverting your build.prop to the stock one. Either that or there's something wrong with your SD card. Have you tried another card? What about background apps? Could be that you have too many running and that's causing the slow downs.

It's not the card because it does it on internal too. And hey, the screen off idea is smart! I might check into another performance mod if it works. I'll test it to see if it does it when it's on.
CONFIRMATION: Yes, it still skips with the screen on ;(

I'm assuming that you've tested it with other mp3s, right? So it can't be that the mp3s you're playing are corrupted?
Your best bet is to revert to stock build.prop (I think you can just pull one from a stock ROM and copy and paste it to the correct system folder using ES file explorer.) If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and re flash the stock KDZ (I'm assuming you're on LGs stock ROM)

I'll try the build.pro method. Thanks! If that doesn't work, I don't mind reflashing stock KDZ. Re-rooting is a pain though ughhh xD
Mine quit skipping when I froze lge upsell in system

I had a similar problem as well. My music play for like 30 second theb it totally skip to the next track. Turn out i installed the beat audio mod through pimp my rom and it messed up my music player. I try resetting the phone and that didnt work so i had to flash kdz back to ics then update to jb again. Or i could have done a cmw backup as well.

Had this problem on my Nexus 7, Xperia Ray, and L9. I figured it because the CPU governor is not increase clock enough. Try to switch to interactive / ondemand.

Have you tried increasing the "audio buffer size" in Poweramp? I had this issue with my L9 too, went to Poweramp>settings>audio>advanced settings>audio buffer size and selected "Large (+250ms)". This did the trick for me.
I am not sure about other music players, but I am sure most of them has something similar setting too.
