hi does anyone know of a realtime mp3 recorder that works on the xda2.
I want to be able to go in the mic input from a PC sound card and record at mp3 direct onto sd card (need about 3 hour recording time)
I know it sound Heath Robinson but I can only do it this way
There's Mnote v1.21 but apparently it doesn't like the xda2

Has anyone tried the RESCO audio recorder?? http://www.resco-net.com/audiorec.asp
Thanks
I use Resco AudioExplorer. It works great!
i have a full version of it. any one wants one?
hey double_ofour..... i've pm'ed you
I'm interested in the software
Thanks!
Yes please!!
Hi
I'd love a copy of the software. Our company are getting 3 XDA2s and I've been 'volunteered' to find an test out some specific apps for them. Love the site, by the way. Great information here.
oops
Forgot my email address! I'm new to this - as you can probably tell. Sorry.

NO PLEASE!!!

Why not trial using their free trial period... Since your company paid for the XDA2s I am hoping they can pay for the useful software that you may put on them too. Software piracy is not looked upon lightly on this forum.
Trial software
I was not aware that there was a trial version - and I certainly wasn't condoning piracy. I just thought it would be a way of sussing out whether it was the right product for the company.
NoteM works fine for me, as long as the recording quality is kept on low bitrate, mono (in advanced settings)
Ok just wait....
Ok ill post the link just for yoi all, but do you think its illegal to post warez link here in xda-dev? i will upload it to geocties but still i have no time. i need first to finnish my exams in school, i think the moderator will be mad if i post the link, isn't he?
But i promise to give it to you all......

Question:
How would one run a FULL VERSION of GoogleTV, MythTV, or any HTPC on Atrix2, WITHOUT JUST USING SOME FLIMSEY APP! (please specify or link to, the individual detailed steps)
ULTIMATE GOAL:
Connect to an SMB share over a wifi LAN, and play video files stored there (hopefully, at least AVI and MP4), while output/displaying these videos (via HDMI) to a TV.
STRICT RULES:
PLEASE, don't post any negativity, or skepticism (Just change the channel!)

Questions/Myths - Please debunk common misunderstandings as often as possible (without sounding condemning, if possible
Possible Hurdles:
Many "all in one" ISO's of Linux HTPC repos are BIG.
The "FULL UBUNTU" might prove difficult to get HTPC running on it.
GoogleTV might require making the phone think it is NOT an Atrix2 (maybe some MOD, such as otacerts.zip or CDT.bin/CID?)
To the best of my knowledge, there is no Android SDK AVD/emulator or virtualbox image for Atrix2
Maybe XBMC, Plex, or some other DLNA capable media server/extender would be easier??
Remember that many cool things began as a CRAZY IDEA!! :highfive:
WHY? WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THIS? :cyclops:
The primary BENEFITs of this experiment, is the skill and understanding we gain, of Linux, Android, and DLNA protocols, etc.
The Google Play store apps (simply installing a crippled but flashy/stable PLEX or XBMC apk), is NOT going to help us learn very much.
The hard way, is sometimes the best way. We want to run GoogleTV on the A2 platform, or else run a full LINUX version of a media server (such as UbuntuTV).
When you become willing to RISK exposing your true knowledge/skill level, you become a better student, and more likely to one day become a true expert.

Are you wanting to run the "server" part of an htpc like app on your artix2 or just use the atrix2 as a client to connect to say a Linux HTPC / god forbid a Windows media setup, using an app on the atrix2, like mythtv has a client as well as a ton of DLNA "client" apps.
If you want to run the server part on the phone, and connect, and mount an "NFS" like share to the phone, that may be possible using some of the features of android itself, but the whole DLNA like sharing, might be the hurdle to overcome if doing it this way. I am sure an app could very easily be written in Java to handle the serving up the content via DLNA, but that was not what you actually asked about, so.... My question still remains. Which route do you want to go that will determine much of the needed info that can be shared by others.
If you are going to do this on a Linux server what are the limitations of your hardware? like you mention that the ISOs are huge, so is that an issue with disk space on box you want to use, or your DL speed that you are concerned with there?
P.S. I run mythtv as my HTPC on a Linux box at home, and my Atrix2 and other devices have no issues connecting to it even when I am remote, so it can be done this way very easily.
I would use XBMC try the hardware acceleration enabled beta builds and use either ES Explorer or Mount Manager/CIFS Manager for SMB access.
I personally use a combination of es file explorer and MX player. Plays anything from my network without issue. Avi mkv mp4 whatever. Normally I only use it when traveling and the hotel TV has HDMI but it works equally well for wilan or ftp.
Edit: If you're looking for full control of a htpc try splash top then mirroring the display via HDMI. I have the paid version of splashtop and find it to be amazing when I need my desktop away from home. It will mirror through slim port on my n4 so while I haven't tried it with my A2 I bet it will work. I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004TT0ZDK for a remote control.
Well, Android is linux, and we have gotten full ubuntu in webtop, so it is possible to run something else, but it would be damn near impossible and not worth the effort.
My advice: go by a raspbery pi for 30 bucks (model B, has ethernet) and use that! It runs full hd video over hdmi perfectly, and you can hook up the a2 with usb or on the network to take files. It will run like any full sized computer and give all the power you need for a few bucks. and you get to learn about linux, so, win, win win!
Best of luck!

A minor, but additional benefit (beyond the BIG purpose of helping NOOBs like me, learn more about Linux/Android), is that when/if I'm running over to a hacker meetup/friends house/lab, it's important that 'almost' everything be contained and "ready to go", without saying, "hey, we just need to install XYZ on one of your LAN boxes now, then we can do this". The ONLY thing beyond bringing my kick-your-4ss eLEET 47r1X-11 that should be required in order to impress the 1 female in the room of 20, is the ability to connect to a NFS or Samba/smb share, where videos are stored.

YES! This is exactly what I want to do, and some of your posts (yeah, I had to go there), actually inspired me with this idea.

Yup. XBMC and Plex both have apps designed specifically to serve video to an external display, but both require the FULL SERVER installed elsewhere on the same LAN. (The advantage to that being a 'push-button' easy factor, just install the apk -- cool, granted, but just not the direction I'm going with this experiment)

BUSTED! No matter how hard I try Jim, I always feel guilty after reading your replies to me, like "dangit, why didn't I think to search for THAT, instead of those stupid searches I actually DID do". And in a similar way, I'm really sort of 'borderline close' (as usual), to what THE XDA FORUM RULES allow, because I'm not 100% clear yet, on exactly what the final answer (if there is one), might be to these questions, and where I want this to end up, and hoping some DEVs might join the conversation here.

... that's another good point I did not yet consider. I think that a 32Gb MicroSD card should be sort of considered as "the limit". There may be distro's and methods to get the whole thing onto the phone's internal space, but I'd rather partition the SD card and get more power and functionality. Download speed may be a concern for some folks, but I'll just recommend they use a Torrent client (which will auto-check their ISO hashes), or some other DL manager with resume capability.

That's awesome, and I might wind up just falling back to using the Atrix2 with some App that works as a client. But I wanted to at least give it a shot, getting the A2 to be the full media server, and have no other requirement than the ability to stream from a shared network drive over WIFI.

My network storage is plugged directly into my wireless router. The only apps I require to watch or download anything from it are on my phone. In fact through es file explorer I can access the contents of my server ,3 desktops, 2 laptops and the network storage.
As you can see I'm using a smb share.

Hi MountainLion!,
Thanks for this great advise. :good: I think this definitely qualifies as a potential FULL [alternative] SOLUTION to the original questions, (including all constraints and caveats). I appreciate the links too, regarding remote access, perhaps worth a separate discussion thread.
(I will update the OP, with qualified alternate solutions, we this discussion continues)

Now we are talking here!
Yes if you want to do this as a sever with mythtv, or another sever like app like xbmc, you need to be on GB and use my ubuntu hack as a start. you might be able to get every needed part working, but there might be parts thst are not compiled for arm, as well.
Here is THE place to start once you have my ubuntu hack working in webtop:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV-HOWTO_-_0.26
XBMC has a similar guide on their site, but you might have issues with needed pkgs that are not compiled for arm... so... that might derail you for one or the other. I say give it a shot the worst that could happen is that it does not work, then all you lost was time and probably learned something, in the process.

Good to see you around man. I appreciate all the help I can get too (I need it!). Last year I had a kid show me a lunch box with BackTrack 5r3 on it, and I was very impressed.

Should, do can be deadly.... LOL the issue is not with xbmc itself, it is weather the required packages are in the ubuntu arm webtop repo, that is the issue to check, seeing as no one has tried it in webtop yet.

Hi Everyone, long time reader, modder, flasher, 0 time poster:.
I just wanted to get a gauge on the community's attitude towards hacking a paid application. Not for the intent of making it free, but for the intent of making it work!
You see, There's an app out there called "Escort Live!". Don't get me wrong, it's a great app as it integrates with your radar detector and laser jammers while driving... but it's rife with issues that the company just hasn't been able to address... see the following forum for more information on that:
I can't outside link yet due to the post count, but you can find all of the issues on escort live! for android's forums. I'm sure you can google them.
So... I made a post to try and help the community out by decompiling the 2.04apk hosted on their site... not even their latest version... with Virtuous 10 Studios, and Informed the community of the Sloppy Dev work, and that I would try to fix the issues with our specific phones (Motorola based).
2 days after that post was made...
I get permanently banned. no reason given.
They then pulled the old .apk's off of their site, so I've conveniently uploaded it to mega upload so everyone can see the crappy dev work for themselves... again... can't post links yet, but if someone with a post count pms me I'll send it to them.
I don't have enough of a post count to make a dev project out of this yet either, but as soon as I do then I'll post the progress on of the project on github.
If anyone would like to join in the effort to give PAYING CUSTOMERS a functioning apk to use with their phones... volunteers are more than welcome, especially those with java / xml experience.
I have a wordpress site that I can't link here, but it's my first name Philip Last Name Cabibi at wordpress if you're interested in tracking the issue with the full links.
market link
From a technical standpoint the app is free (with premium subscription options) and I can only assume there's some sort of verification process for that subscription so as long as that's kept in I would think this is certainly acceptable though I'm not sure what your post actually said
did find this though (basically just talks about it and then links here and the blog) relevant post on his blog is here
@ University of Pi...
You are correct... It's a free app; however, in order to all the app to connect with your escort compatible radar detector, one must purchase a separate cord, and pay for a yearly subscription of about 79.95.
Full disclosure: the management at escort has been nothing but professional, and have extended the subscription of the beta testers for another year as a result of all the bugs.
The problem though is the lack of updates. Alot of us have invested alot of money into the app. Cost of Radar detector, Cost of the special chord, plus the cost of the subscription. New users, unfortunately, don't get the benifit of the extended subscription.
The point is... is that users of certain phones, paid for a product, and the product isn't functioning correctly. The reasons for this are the sub-standard programming of the devs. No notation on the methods in the smali files, poorly designed xml arrays, cryptic variable definitions, etc.
Personally, I feel as if the management have no control over the fixing of the problems, and are handcuffed, because the initial developer purposefully made the program extremely difficult for a new developer to come in and fix the issues, as a result of the poor structure of the program itself.
Anyway, glad to see you found those links... Thank you... didn't know that another thread was made requesting information about what happened to the original thread (they are correct, I in no way posted the entire source code of the program on their site) What I did was point out the flaws, and logcat results that tell a completely different story regarding the root issues effecting motorola devices than what the devs have told management, and as a result, what management has in turn relayed to the users.
Unfortunately, I can't follow up in the forum as I am permanently banned, but I, and many others, really just want the program to work correctly. It's an excellent concept and it's a shame that Escort is resorting to these types of tactics in an attempt to prevent the open source community from improving their product.
I'm sure even with the improvements, a subscription fee would still be required; however, the original concept of the OP was to convey the fact that it's possible for the open source community to bypass the "premium features".
I don't condone this; however, it's a difficult pill to swallow when faced between choosing the ethical choice.... paying the yearly subscription for a poorly functioning app... or sideloading a fully functioning app created by an open source community because the official developers aren't making any progress.
Would any other senior devs on this site wish to chime in on this?
You should have never been banned from there...but hey...no good deed goes unpunished right?
I've had EL for quite some time and it's irritating to no end to see how flawed it is. It's a shame that they won't welcome help and instead act that way toward people trying to do something good for them.
Hacking and posting an app that uses paid services is considered warez and will not allowed to be posted here nor will any help be given in doing so.
