[Q] Which Rom is Right For Me ? HOX - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so yesterday I got a new Htc One X I Rooted it and put clockwork recovery onto it but I find my self in situation where i can't pick the right rom for me to use.
I am after a rom that
Keeps the beats audio and camera features of HTC sense.
Has Great Battery Life.
Has more supported file formats in video and music categories (not a must but would be great)
I would really appreciate it if anyone has any opinions on this.
Cheers

You can check out Android Revolution HD 5.2.0.It is improved version of stock ROM.No visual changes etc.

PRoblem with Audio Manager
I have installed but run partial because i dont see the bottom bar and i have an error "Load RC fail"
Help me...
Thanks
Is it just me or doesn't this program sort the music on the albums correctly. Seems like it just does alphabetical and not by real album track order as WMP does.
I'd use it all the time if it weren't for that. Is there a way around that? I don't see anyway to set it up sorting wise.
Woo got this running on my samsung blackjack aka i600. Its the one thing i missed from my SPV E650. Changed to the blackjack because the screen kept breaking on the SPV gutted as it was an awesome lil phone.

Yep, I confirm, and it is a reason for me to use WMP.
Is everyones' font on main streen of HTC audio manager (artist, title etc...) so small? I run it on QVGA screen and it is really tiny - like 8 px :/
Any solutions please?
Anyone figure out a registry entry or something to adjust the font on the Audio Manager? I need it like 12 or 14 point... anyone?

I've been using TCPMP, a very neat player with lots of plugins for both audio and video playback, works wonderfully, has many options (I mean many!), even a benchmark , in a few words I love it!
You should give it a try, and with the plug ins you can get flv playback, mp4 playback and whoever knows what may come out soon
Used in combination with Pocket DivX encoder works like a charm with my lobby, the only weak point is when you try to play WMV files intended for PC, the WMP has a bit more power, but who said one program eliminates the other
Is there an updated version of the Audio Manager?
There's some bugs in version 1.0, such as sorting by trackname vs track #
HE-AAC playback doesn't seem to work properly, SBR is not decoded, sounds dull
I've contacted HTC but they weren't be able to help much, gotten no responce after sending them a sample file...
Most recent version i've seen on the forums version 1.02 build 1017.717 should have the fix to sort by track #

I heard you can use the Audio Manager to make ringtones is there already a thread on here for it.. just wondering if anyone knows how to make ringtones with it
just select Set as ringtone in Menu and then select Trim. This is where you can crop the song and save it as the ringtone
thanks for this! working on i780

I just recently changed my ATT tilt with the windows 6.0 version to the 6.1 version. I want to download the HTC Audio Manager so I can manage my ring-tones. However, I downloaded the link that was provided by rickwyatt and run it to my laptop but could not find the setup to install it on my laptop to transfer it to my phone. I tried also to copy the audio-zip link and paste it to my storage card while my phone was syncing but it didn't work. Can some one tell me how to or get the HTC manager so I can transfer it to my phone and what are the protocols. Thanks,

Stock ROM is best for the n00bs
Sent from my MB853 using XDA
Be more specific... And honestly he's right. Stock rom is fine for a whole lot of people. You seem to be in that category. And as far as the wma files, you just need a music player that supports that format. Search the market.. Mortplayer will do it as its folder based and supports a wide variety of media formats.

Whats the best rom for sound? I had Titan and nothing sounds the same...

I had a rom called Titan v2 and it sounded unbelievable. I guess it died out because I havent been able to find a new version.
For all my music lovers what is the best sounding stable rom out there? I miss the way titan used to bump in my car.

I was using ogminilla's but it wouldnt let me answer calls... The only bug with that rom. Maybe try out solid senless Rom.
For the DSP manager:
DO NOT enable bass enhancer or it will distort the music through your stereo. You could try it, but it usually only works on headphones.
Then for the equalizer setting:
Set the first column to 8, the second column to 8 1/2, the 3rd column to 3, the 4th at 0, the 5th at 1 1/2, and the 6th at 3.
Be sure to enable loudness compensation to strongest.
Leave the other settings unchecked
Hope this helps!

Tried the viper rom but no 4g! is there a sense 3.6 version?
Or does anyone still have the last titan hd odexed v2 rom? Can't believe I erased it, figured its so old it would be obsolete. Had great sound and great camera and stable. Any old titan users out there?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cool ICS for CDMA & GSM. The current version has full working beats, including the notifications and system settings, and the Sony xloud mod all baked in. I have the same mods with MeanROM ICS 2.6 using this installation procedure and the sound is great.

It looks like this thread has a working download, but I'm not sure why you would want a GB ROM based on the 2.08 build when the Cool ICS ROM has been updated to the latest Sprint ICS build and has very good audio and camera. Up to you.

It just sounded so good, right out of the box. I would just pull up anywhere, put on pandora, and have an instant block party.
I installed cool rom and it sounds very loud but just not as good/full. I havent been able to find any settings to tweak, i guess i have to download the dsp manager.
As for the link above, the only thing on that ftp is something called olympus trinity gamer. Not sure what this is and can't find any info on it. Might try flashing it just to see how it sounds right off the bat.

Some people have commented that the audio from the ICS ROM's even with all the mods installed is not as good as it was on the GB ROM's.
I flashed the Titan ROM out of curiosity and it seems to have the sound mods you are looking for, but is mostly stock except for the games. Apparently the dev was kicked off of XDA for some drama he created, and if you check the comments from the installation script you will see his comment on XDA.
The original thread for the ROM is still on XDA, but the download link is broken.

Yes I just flashed that gamer one and it sounds fantastic. I flashed right after the cool ics and there is no comparison. Maybe its because im testing on pandora (I have the premium version which has better sound) and not the music player, maybe because its not ics idk.
I read about the drama and people saying he wasnt a developer but more of a 'remixer'. Whatever he was he made that **** sound sick so you gota give him credit for that at least.
Maybe other developers can adopt what he did for sound cuz i do like other features of ics. But like you said maybe its just that gb sounds better than ics and its just that simple. dunno, Im gona stick with this one for now because im really into music.

The beats mods aren't going to help Pandora at all. You need to use DSP Manager, MusicFX, Volume+ or something similar with that app, and people have had mixed results with those equalizers on ICS. If the Titan ROM has DSP Manager built-in that's probably making the difference for Pandora.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for and are happy with it, even if it is GB.

Yea, I don't see anything wrong with GB. I didnt see a DSP manager there but there is something called Audio FX Settings.
BTW, is there anything I can use to uninstall all those games?

Ive been messing with this on cool ics and it doesnt sound bad at all. Where I messed up was not going to settings - beats audio - and enabling those.
I still think its not quite as good as the titan roms but its pretty damn close!

AudioFX is another equalizer similar to DSP Manager and Volume+. It works pretty well with Google Play Music but I haven't tried it with Pandora.
You should be able to uninstall the games you don't want with Titanium Backup, even if they are installed as systems apps.

[Q] MP3 Playback - Bug!??

Hey guys
i have a Problem with the Playback from some mp3's.
So i open the file with the standard player, it say's: "This type of Audiofile can't be played"...
But if i open the Audiofile over the "Root Explorer", it will be played with this player.
What is it?
Any other App from the Store make exactly the same bug...
The exactly same file's was played on ICS without any failure... but Jelly Bean??
In hopes that the new firmware (1.14.401.18) will fix the problem, i had flash the Revolution HD 4.0 Rom but this is not the case...
What can i do?
It is not acceptable! Such problems were among the old Windows Mobile 6 times...
PS: The Custom Rom is NOT the Problem. I have this Bug since i unpacked the One x+...
I have no problem with music (FLAC or MP3) at all, so it must be a problem on your side (ROM, other installations, MP3 or anything)... Not a general HOX+ problem...

I must correct me:
The MX Player, rather a Video Player, is able to play the MP3's. All now, without issues..
But not the "Beats" player from HTC, wich is perfectly integrated... Damn it!!

I have over 300 MP3 files and no problem playing them with the stock HTC player.
Many players will only work with standard bit rates and ID3 tags. If any are not using the proper standard it might fail to play.
The reason other players are working is most likely they are ignoring the bad data or will play nonstandard bit rates.

old CM10 and bluetooth audio routing issues

Hi there,
i hope I'm in the right section.
So long story short:
I have here a Sony Xperia Miro (mesona) and i found a almost fully working cm10 rom for this device.
I noticed it doesn't playback audio to bt devices.
Both ui sounds and media does play on the phone's speaker.
Inside a logcat it seems like it's connecting, enabling a2dp but then routing back audio to phone speaker.
I was wondering if it's possible to fix easily (maybe a bad config file?)
Do you guys have an idea.
It would be a perfect mp3 player if bluetooth audio works.
Thank you so far
Hey, I have the same phone. I stuck on ICS because of the same reason (bluetooth audio not working). What you can do, like I have done, is go to this site: https://shivangdave.com/roms/ via the wayback machine (go back as far as 2016 and pick any snapshot), and get AOKP kitkat. CM11 and Carbon (kitkat) roms are available, but they're slower and buggier than AOKP. You'll need to flash the boot.img from the AOKP zip via fastboot for the rom to boot, and voila! Everything except the camera and brightness slider works in this rom (you can fix brightness using lux lite), including bluetooth audio. And if you don't install GApps, and just sideload the apps you need, it's pretty smooth. It even works great for streaming from spotify and soundcloud, you just need patience. You can also use it as a podcast player.
EDIT: Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party.

Yeah you're too late
I also found the archived download website and got at least one of the builds to boot but since it has some bugs, i switched back to cm10 and had a deeper look into it.
And it's indeed a bad config file.
Don't remember which one i guess it was mixer_path.xml or the like.
So i downloaded a random cm10 build for another device and started comparing files.
In the end, i extracted the necessary file from the zip and throw it onto my device.
Guess what it's working!
If you're interested in the fix, i can take a look in the evening, i have everything on my pc in my personal CM/LineageOS archive for all my devices and some documentations aswell.

The file you have to replace is located in /system/etc/audio_policy.conf
The zip file is not flashable! Extract the file and place it in the directory via file browser.
Hope it works for you just as it did for me.
