[ROM INFO] CM7 Nightlies Discussion

maxdamage2122 said:
Since "official" nightlys have not been compiling for the g-tablet, I have been compoiling them myself on my personal computer. I'll compile the source every so often and upload it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3vhon1u5a2orsk/smb_a1002/kang?v=l. The time stamp in the file name (MMDDYYYY-HHMM) is the time that the repo sync was done.
In the meantime I'm setting up an old computer that I have as a buildbot to automatically compile every night for us. I'll let you guys know when I have it up and running.

I thought it might be nice to get a thread going for discussion on the CM7 port for harmony for our gtablet device. There are nightly builds which are starting to incorporate some great things such as video acceleration and the new google release of 2.3.4 could be around the corner. In fact some 2.3.4 code made it into nightly#60.
I am in no way associated with CM7. If someone from CM7 or someone in some way associated with CM7 wants to run this thread or create a similar one please do so.

How-To Guide:
(slightly edited from Wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide)
Before you do anything — Make a backup
Don't forget to back up your data. If you have synced the device with a Google account, then the contacts, calendar, Gmail & select other Google-related data will not be lost and will come back after the next sync. However, you should backup anything you want to keep that is not stored on the SD card:
Bookmarks,
Applications; use Titanium Backup or the Astro File Manager, for example,
Any application data not on the SD card.
It would also be a good idea to backup everything stored on the SD card in the rare case the SD card must be formatted to resolve any major problems.
Backup for Root Users is a free application that can assist with backing up your data.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
For this guide, it is not necessary to root the Viewsonic G Tablet in order to flash CyanogenMod. You can simply install ClockworkMod Recovery & continue on.
Warning: Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the Viewsonic G Tablet will void the warranty.
Download the ClockworkMod package: Download
Unzip the ClockworkMod package & copy the recovery folder & the update.zip to the root of the internal memory (NOT in any folders & NOT to the removable SD card).
Power off the Viewsonic G Tablet and reboot holding the Volume Up button and the Power button until the device is in the stock recovery.
While in the stock recovery, use the Volume buttons to navigate to the apply update.zip & press the Home button to select it.
Once the it the update.zip is applied the Viewsonic G Tablet will have ClockworkMod Recovery. Please continue to the next section.

Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Viewsonic G Tablet should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Having issues with finding your Internal Storage?
Check your fstab. CM has a different paradigm. See below from maxdamage2122

This is a flashable zip file that I have created to backup the vold.fstab file and replace it with one that mounts the internal storage as /sdcard.

Great job Oozura. Make sure Mad-Murdoch links this thread in his post in the nook forum. I had volunteered to do the same but he didn't get back to me. I'm a long time CM nightlies user on Droid, and now on GTab as well. I'll post as much as I can here.
And that bad frog is right. Use bekit's 0.8 GTab recovery and forget about Rom Manager. You'll just end up having to nvflash...
Thanks!

Search for the endless threads on hard bricked and soft bricked tabs from using rom manager on the gtab. And before all you fanbois jump in and tell me you had no problems understand this....there are at least 2 different partitioning setups on the Gtab from the factory. Sometimes you can't even boot after flashing Gingerbread roms without nvflash.

Yes, I'm sure he is sure about this. Do NOT use Rom Manager to install any of the roms or to update CWM. Only use bekit 0.8 recovery.
I don't even install Rom Manager on my Gtab.

Sounds good to me. I will take it out. As long as the other method works then no need to make anyone cry over a bricked tab.

So who is using the latest nightly? I'm running 60 and seems stable. I occasionally get a stall on browser apps after a long sleep. But can't find any other issues.

Hardware Decoding?
So I installed AOSP the other day (the one in the Dev forum) because it was claiming hardware acceleration. It loaded up and was super laggy, but also didn't play the same video files that Vegan 5 played. I loaded up CM7 today and found the same thing. It's not nearly as laggy as the AOSP build, but still does not play video. I get volume, but no sound. Am I mistaken is thinking that we in fact have hardware acceleration now?

Progress is being made but we aren't there yet. Did you try mobo player? Engage software decoding and you'll be good to go.

I've been using RockPlayer and havent had any issues. Most notably for me though was YouTube HD videos now play with no lag.
I think Irs421 is right. Its progress but not complete hardware acceleration until Nvidia releases GB drivers I would guess.

I figured as much. Progress, even slow progress, is good. I'm liking CM7 so far any how.

Enjoy Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread on your Galaxy Fit!!

After a looong research, & after not finding a gingerbread ROM for Galaxy Fit, I had almost given up my hopes to see 2.3.3 gingerbread on my Galaxy Fit. Well... almost!!!
Finally managed to get my hands over OFFICIAL Samsung 2.3.3 firmware for G-Fit. Samsung will eventually release 2.3.3 for Fit in India but that will probably take a long time. But if you don't want to wait, following is the way...
This is the very SHORT guide for Advanced users only. Do your own research & understand every step before you do it. I will probably update detailed steps when I get some time.
1: Goto samfirmware.com Galaxy Fit page:
Login - www.SamFirmware.com
2: Download the 2.2 FROYO firmware labelled S5670XXKB1 (This is a russian firmware but you can easily change language to English)
3: Flash the firmware over your current one with help of ODIN. Follow the guides at samfirmware.com
4: Install the latest version of Samsung Kies 2.0.0.11044-11
Link: Download Samsung Kies 2.0.0.11044_11 Free - Search, browse, download and manage apps for mobile devices - Softpedia
(Install on a OS other than windows 7, as firmware update does NOT work on win7. Xp worked for me.) You may also have to isntall .net framework 4 & windows media format 11. Search for the links on google.
5: Connect your Galaxy Fit with S5670XXKB1 & Kies will popup message a new firmware is available.
Firmware details : S5670XXKPF (GINGERBREAD.XXKPF)
6: Follow the steps to update firmware through Kies.
7: Change the language back to English from Russian.
Update: Official build 2.3.6 is now avaialable. Refer to following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19561095 ( Thanks to owner of thread)

Steps to change lanuage on android 2.2/2.3:
Goto Settings -> Locale & Text -> Select language (First option)
The option has white background with letter A on it.

Steps to root your 2.3.3 Gingerbread :
Note. SuperOneClick or any other similar apps don't work on 2.3.3 yet. At least didn't work for me.
Before going through the process of rooting you have to download a small file named upd_1.zip
1: Once you have downloaded the file copy it to your SD card. For ease of work copy it in root of SD card.
2: Switch off your handset and wait till the vibration is over.
3: Now switch the phone in recovery mode. Press and hold Power button + middle menu button together to start in recovery mode.
4: Once you are in recovery mode you will get lot of options on screen. In recovery mode touchscreen does not work, so use the volume up/down buttons to toggle through options. To confirm options press the middle button.
5: Go to the second option i.e apply update from SD card.
6: Upon selecting the second option you will need to select the fileupd_1.zip. Press the middle button to apply changes.
7: It takes 2-3 seconds to install the update.
8: Once the above step is complete, reboot your system from the first option.
9: As the phone reboots you will have super user in it. Your phone is rooted now.

I don't know what happened. But first everthing was fine. I updated the Firmware to Gingerbread.DDKT1 via Kies
and now the Media Player started saying cannot play the specified file Format.

For example in one of the Playlist I had 20 MP3 Files the Player can play about 3 Of them.
I tried Winamp, Andriod media Player and the Stock Media Player but all ended up at same point.
Someone plzz help

Cyanogenmod Nightly Changelog (HDMI?)

The changelog for our phone (P920) can be found here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p920
Strange thing though;
In the second release, or first if we count the numbers, there is:
OMAP4: Adding HDMI Support in the framework (android_frameworks_base)
Clicking on the link above views the changes, but I can't get the HDMI out to work.
I heard that for other phones, including the 02X, we need a Full HD TV and not a 720p (HD Ready).
I only have a HD Ready TV and a Full HD computer screen but it doesn't work on the computer screen.
Can anyone with the latest nightly (currently 3) try HDMI out on a Full HD TV?
I doubt that it'll work, but still worth trying.
Latest Cyanogenmod Nightly:

EDIT:
Good news! I got the audio to work through HDMI, but the Computer screen is just showing a black screen BUT it doesn't say "No input" which is good. I get "[email protected]".

That's actually the way I get the audio to work. If I just play music nothing happens but if I start a video after a few tries, then I get the audio to work through HDMI but with a black screen, this also worked on my 720p TV, after this procedure, I can play music aswell but as soon as the phone screen shuts down I have to do everything again.
I would guess that they are currently working on these features and trying to get our phone up to date with the others since they are only working on our phone and a few others, can be verified by looking at the recent files at http://get.cm/ and all the OMAP4 fixes in the changelog.

There is no radio.Does anyone know if there will be a future release?

I backed up everything, External SD, internal SD and all my apps.
1) boot into clockwork by holding volume down and power.
2) install CM7
3) install Gapps if you want the Google stuff.
4) Format DATA and reset to factory
reboot and you are set to go

That's pretty much how it's done.
If you want to install a new release then just make a backup (and delete the old one) and install the new release through CWM. All system files are replaced with the new release and you will keep your old apps/settings.

I found out that the second display is located here:
/sys/devices/omapdss/display1/
When I plug in the HDMI the value enabled sets to 1.
But the value hdmi_out is still 0, same with the value mirror at display0.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the next releases.
It would be nice if display0 could be disabled when using HDMI at certain points, when watching movies or using emulators. And by pressing power button the mirroring/cloning starts again.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Paranoid Android 2.55

I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by trying the Paranoid Android 2.55 ROM pa_p6800-2.55-17NOV2012-053308a, with Gapps package gapps-jb-20121011-signed.
IT IS A TOTAL AWESOME UPGRADE from official Stock Rom Ice Scream Sandwhich second phase. That's why I decided to make it easier for all the other owners of this tablet to just upgrade their tablet with this ROM pacakge.
So here is what I did with TWRP recovery:
1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Wipe (Factory Reset)
4. Then I made a FULL BACKUP.
5. Then I decided to upload that backup on Torrents so everyone else may upgrade their tablet with a simple TWRP recovery.
Since I am still not permitted to write on the Development forum I would really like to know the following:
1. Should this Backup Recovery for my P6800 work on the same model of the Tablet of other people without problems? In other words, does this recovery work only for MY device or it should work on similar devices?
2. I am not sure who is the author who deserves true credit for this ROM, but I have been seeing the name Daniel quite a bit. AndroguideFr is saying it's not his work. Please provide me the list of people who should take the credit for this before I upload the torrent with the instructions.
Finally tell me if it's a good idea, what you think about it, do you have any advice for me? Do you think this should work?

Instructions & Torrent
The torrent link: Since I still can't post links you can just search for "Super Galaxy Tab 7.lly Bean Upgrade" on the pirate bay website.
The following is the instructions I provided with the torrent. I would be glad if you tell me what you think about it:
This torrent is ONLY for those who own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Wifi & 3G (GT-P6800). Be warned that the instructions provided here will not work on any other device or model.
Noob Definitions:
ROM means FIRMWARE or DEVICE SOFTWARE
BRICK means Phone/Tablet Getting Stuck without being able to boot.
So are you happy with your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet Stock ROM (firmware)? In other words, are you happy with the original software the device came by? If you are not, there is good news here. I have tried my best to make it as easy as possible to upgrade your Tablet with the best ROM I have come across for this tablet, which is Paranoid Android version 2.55 with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Why I am recommending this ROM and why I am doing this? Simple, I have tried all previous versions of Paranoid Android ROM for this device and they were all great but with minor to major bugs. This is the only ROM that I have found to be:
1. Super Fast. It consumes only an average of 120 megabytes of your internal tablet memory and all Samsung bloatware is removed by default.
2. Stable. I haven't come across any problems with it up till now and the smoothness of the graphics and device responsivity is really amazing.
3. Battery Saver. All Paranoid Android Jelly Bean ROMs I have tried save a great deal of battery power. You will notice at least double battery standby time switching from the stock IceCream Sandwich.
4. Of course WiFi & GPS are now tested and working.
I have not tested this ROM for more than a few days, however considering all the progress I have been seeing I expect only very few bugs that I would wholeheartedly sacrifice for this great experience on my tablet. The instructions include a full backup of your existing Data/ROM so just in case you don't like your new upgrade you should be easily able to recover your previous ROM/Data as they were before.
Introduction:
- I have made the hard work so you don't have to do it yourself to upgrade your tablet. I followed all the online instructions to install the following ROM file "pa_p6800-2.55-17NOV2012-053308a" with this Google Apps package "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, and then I had reset my device (factory reset) and took a FULL BACKUP with a recovery software called TWRP.
- This torrent is the FULL BACKUP recovery made by TWRP and once you install (flash) the TWRP recovery software on your device you will be able to take this BACKUP and recover it on your own device without problems. So here are the detailed instructions:
BE WARNED:
1. Before beginning make sure to charge your device battery to above 80% !! Losing power during recovery may BRICK your tablet.
2. I repeat: This torrent is ONLY for those who own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Wifi & 3G (GT-P6800). The instructions provided here will not work on any other device or model.
3. The instructions provided here are accurate to the best of my ability and I will help you upgrade your tablet by replying to your comments if you had any problems BUT STILL you will do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible for any data you may lose or tablet you may brick.
4. Please read the instructions in the given order and do exactly as mentioned to avoid any problems. Should any questions arise just raise your hand and ask before continuing. It's better to be safe than sorry.
5. Your Tablet must be ROOTED for being able to install TWRP recovery given the following instructions if it's not rooted try following this link before continuing further: (link provided)
In case this link doesn't work you will find many tutorials online on how to ROOT your Galaxy Tab 7.7 just Google it and good luck, then come back here.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Objective: Preparing Extracted Data
After completing torrent download extract the file "SamsungGT_7.7_Custom_ROM.rar" with WinRar on your PC on your prefered location and leave it there until required.
2. Objective: Installing TWRP Recovery on Tablet
Open Google Play market on your Galaxy Tab search, download and install the GooManager application. Open it, and look for "Flash ROMS", a message will pop-up telling you "IN ORDER TO USE THIS FEATURE YOU MUST HAVE AN OPENRECOVERYSCRIPT COMPATIBLE RECOVERY", just choose "Try to find one for me". This should download the TWRP recovery software and automatically flash your device you will see a pop-up message saying "TWRP recovery is installed successfully". If your device is not ROOTED the GooManager application will not have the privilage to FLASH your ROM. If your tablet is not rooted just quit this tutorial, search for online Tutorials on how to root your Tablet on Google and come back again.
3. Objective: Transfer Recovery Backup onto Tablet
OK, now you have to copy the TWRP folder you just downloaded through this torrent onto the EXTERNAL SDCard of your Samsung Galaxy Tab. To do that, just connect your device to the computer with its USB cable and in a minute or 2 you should be able to see your Device "GT-P6800" under Portable Devices (if you are Windows 7) or perhaps "Removeable Device" (if you are on Windows XP). Just make sure that you copy the extracted TWRP folder on your external storage (SD Card) on your Galaxy Tab. If you did not see your external drives on My Computer you might need to install Samsung Kies Drivers so your tablet is recognized on Windows.
4. Objective: Boot Into Recovery Mode
Now you have the TWRP recovery software flashed on your device and the recovery Backup itself on the external storage. The next step is to Power Off your Galaxy Tab completely, then Press the Power Button and hold on together with the Volume UP (+) button. Once you see the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo remove your finger from the Power button and you should see TEAMWIN with blue background and you will be in Recovery Mode.
5. Objective: Full Backup of Existing Data
Once you are in the TWRP recovery screen just touch on the "Backup" button to make a full backup of your current ROM & Data so in case anything went wrong you can recover all your data later with no problems. Make sure that "System", "Data", "Boot", "Recovery" & "Cache" checkboxes are checked and then choose the radio button "Using Internal Storage" or "External Storage" depending where you have more space (external storage is recommended). Then Swipe the arrow on the left to the right to Backup your device.
6. Objective: Full Recovery of New ROM Package
After successful backup, touch on the home button at the top of the screen and touch "Restore" button so you can now install the New ROM recovery you downloaded on your external storage. You will see 2 radio buttons one is "Using external SD" and the other "Using internal Storage". Since you put your recovery on external storage just leave the radio button checked on "Using external SD" and you should see the "FRESHBACKUP" recovery folder, touch on it. In the next screen make sure that the "System", "Data", "Boot", & "Cache" checkboxes ARE CHECKED. Considering you have made all the steps exactly as mentioned so far Swipe the left arrow from LEFT TO RIGHT to recover your tablet into the new ROM. Wait until all the recovery steps are finished indicating that all is successful. You will find a button to "Reboot System" or similar.
7. Objective: Be Patient, It's Happening
Once you reboot you will notice IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME AT FIRST don't panic, just leave it finish what it is doing for as long as 10 minutes. You will find the "Android is Upgrading" pop-up optimizing your applications, that is totally normal. Then finish all the step-by-step instructions given on the screen in regards to your Google Account and Good Job You are now enjoying Paranoid Android 2.55 with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. You can customize it as you wish from the settings.
Troubleshooting:
In case you had any problems in Steps 6 & 7 or you didn't like the new recovered ROM just go to Step 4 (boot into recovery mode) and recover your original data you backed up in Step 5.
Application Tips: The following are my favorite must have applications:
1. SwiftKey Keyboard is a great keyboard that reduces typing errors through predictions and learns a great deal about your your own choice of words.
2. Pattrn is a very good application for simple backgrounds.
3. Flipboard & News360 great tablet apps for enjoying news in an intuitive interface.
4. Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, & YouTube app.
5. ES File Explorer & File Manager.
6. Kobo Ebooks.
7. Firefox & Dolphin Browsers.
8. Evernote (Great Cloud based Notes - Never lose your important notes).
9. Bluetooth File Transfer.
10. Juicy Defender (Battery Saving App).
11. Market Access App (you will not find this on Google Play Market. Google it and once installed you can download apps from market not restricted by Country).
12. TapaTalk (Great forum-ing experience for Android).
13. Yahoo Weather (the most simple widget for Weather Info)
14. WordWeb dictionary (great free dictionary).
15. MX Player & ArmV7 process codec package (very good media player).
16. Dr. Web Light antivirus (The lightest antivirus for android with very high detection rates).
17. WiFi Analyzer (great for deciding on which Channel to put your WiFi router so you have the highest reception).
18. CamCard (Scans your business cards and automatically fills-in to your contact list).
19. Adobe Flash Player (It is no longer available in Google Play but you can find it in online tutorials on Google, it's a must for some websites to work).
If you have any inquiries just comment on the torrent and I will respond, otherwise send an email on [email protected] Torrent commenting is more recommended though!

Can you please post a youtube video of the rom

Only problem with Paranoid is that it is based on CM and there are many know issues. My biggest issue is the video codecs. The devs will not fix this and any videos I have that play in ICS will not play in any ROM based on CM. Would love to have a Jelly Bean ROM but with some many know issues I am happy with ICS until an official update comes out, if it ever does.

I suggest that you guys give a try to this Rom because the performance versus feature boost makes the ICS stock Rom look like an ancient slow tablet. The delay of opening the Phone app is highly reduced and I rarely ever lag on keyboard.

Quick question befour i flash this rom is otg working or not
Thanks

Sorry what is OTG? Ok I checked on Amazon and I guess I have never used this device. But the usb connection to the computer is working as expected normally.
Secondly, why do you have to take a risk in flashing a ROM? Take a full backup recovery of your existing configuration, should anything go wrong you can revert back so easily without losing anything. Let me know if you need any help.

that's what i did yesterday, not sure about all this mumbo jumbo extra steps this guy is posting.
downloaded 2.55 - was coming from stock so went into CWM, flashed PA 2.55, rebooted into recovery, then wiped cache, dalvik and did factory reset, then rebooted into recovery and flashed PA 2.55 again.
booted up, rebooted into recovery and flashed gapps.
easy peasy.

I didn't try changing that the default is fine for me. I guess you can find better help in the development forum on this issue.

All the movies I have are either straight digital copies or dvd rips, they have not been converted into anything. They play fine in ICS but on any CM based ROM they don't, no matter what video player I used. Again it all has to do with the the missing codecs of ICS. I don't want to waste my time converting all my movies just because the ROM does not support them.

If you don't provide the extension of the files, or the codecs of the type of files that you are trying to play I believe I cannot help you. But I am still telling you that I haven't faced any problems trying to play any kind of video file up till now.

[Q] HTC One S Music problem ...

Hi guys,
I have an HTC One S Asian firmware with JB 4.1 installed and no root. I have a problem when I am playing music. Sometimes, when a song is played, the next song will not play until I push the lock button. Is there anyone else facing this problem ? Is this a bug ?
Thanks

Hi brother ...
Well, i have never had a problem like this, it sounds like a BUG, but, you can go to : Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Data also Clear Cash > Go back > Music Enhancer > do the same, if not, try some custom Music Players from the Play Store .
Cordially.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by updating to cyanogenmod 10.1, the music player now works perfectly. I used the 160313 nightly. Also, that update adds a lot of nice new features such as customisable lock screen widgets, customisable launcher and menu transitions and mostly the new clock.

Yes, you need an unlocked/s-off bootloader and a custom recovery.

It must have been a bug with that specific version of cyanogenmod. I recommend that you go to a 10.1 nightly, or try Viper. You do NOT need S-OFF.

So, can you guide me please to fix this problem ? =D

Basically, CyanogenMod 10 had a buggy music player on the One S. This is fact. They have addressed the majority of these issues in 10.1, but some sacrifices will have to be made. For example, you will get some screen tearing when scrolling, but if your One S is relatively new (anything under nine months) then you won't have many problems with that. Also (this could be just specific to my phone, not sure about anybody else) when trying to connect to mobile data, you have three options. GPRS, HSPA+, or nothing (sadly, when you are tied to Orange, you will experience the third option rather frequently). However, I use music far more than I use mobile data, because I have a computer opposite my bed, and Jelly Bean 4.2 has some snazzy features such as lock screen widgets, and the new digital clock is far nicer than the old analogue one.
So, follow these steps:
- Boot your phone into bootloader and select recovery (if you do not have TWRP 2.3.3.0, flash that in fastboot USB first).
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
- Go back to main menu, reboot, reboot into bootloader.
- On your computer, open the .zip file for CM10.1 and copypasta the boot.img on the first screen into your Android SDK platform-tools folder.
- Open cmd, change destination to the platform-tools folder then type fastboot flash boot boot.img.
- Rename the CM10.1 folder to CM10.1 and on your phone's SD card make a folder called ROMs (easy for switching in the future).
- Then type adb push CM10.1.zip /sdcard/ROMs.
- If both transfers are successful, then close cmd, as it is no longer needed. Or keep it open, whatever floats your boat.
- Go back into TWRP, flash CM10.1.zip.
- Reboot the phone, let it optimise apps etc.
- Reboot into bootloader, select recovery.
- Flash gapps 4.2.2 - I don't think that 4.1 works. Then again, why would it, it's outdated.
- Reboot the phone.
These are to make cyanogenmod 10.1 work to its full potential:
- Drag the notification bar down, click the tiles button in the top right corner, select settings.
- Scroll down to and select Apps
- Find Clock and cLock. Clear data on both.
- Find Play Store. Clear data.
And you have a phone with the latest version of Android that HTC don't want you to have and a fully-functioning music player.
Just a hint - download Play Music. Excuse my language, but Apollo is a pile of ****e, worst music player I've come across in my life.

Can you kindly specify more in detail because I am a complete totally noob when it comes to android. Thanks
