Sound worked in calls but not in music

thanks for posting my rom in xda guys keep up n we will fix bugs soon
help me to fix bluetooth now

Long Reply. Read at your own expense.
So this is what I got after playing with the rom for sometime. Superuser works perfectly for me.I used numerous root apps(link2sd, adfree, titanium backup). It worked perfectly every time. Music does not work even when headphones are attached. I even tried using another app - Musicmatch to play music. I tried installing play store from this thread. It always force closes. The image gallery is really really slow in loading images. So I tried using quickpic. It runs perfectly.Couldn't check much of the browser due to ****ty EDGE but google.com loaded well. Temple Run kept force closing. Maybe I was overreaching on that one. Most of the apps I normally used work: friendcaster, tapatalk, pocket, airdroid all work. Scrolling does not lag at all. Sd-ext does not work. I have a 1 GB ext4 partition which it does not recognize.
TL;DR
If wifi could be fixed, this would be a pretty usable rom.
Okay. I just found out that accelerometer also does not work.
Just one more thing. In calls incoming sound is good. But outgoing sound is bad.

Yes I agree, wifi is the most important thing that needs to be fixed. Also if you want to post some screenshots you can.
and for anyone else who knows more about rom cooking/porting than I do, can this be ported to the HTC explorer?

Is this an aosp kernel?

Sorry. I corrected it. And no I do not think this is an AOSP kernel but then again, I don't know much. You should ask sakindia123. He'll know.

So here is the antutu score. Really slow 3D. Gave only about 3-4 fps.
And in other news, quadrant's still force closing.

is true. the 3d is bad. so what are the plans for now?

Well, I don't know. I was just testing for the fun of it. Do you have any ideas how to fix the bugs?

no no. i am only here to try it and test.

Looks interesting. (Posting so I can find the thread easier in future)

Hardware acceleration ain't working,and this is running on a stock htc kernel
Btw,check lib/egl,in the rom,desire's egl libraries are being used instead of pico's.
Check lib/hw also,u will find a lot of faults with the port(to fix wifi,i m sure u know what to do)

Awesome! I'd love to test if you ever need a tester in the future but for now ill just subscribe and hope for the best
I'd also like to help but no computer, if there's anything I can do like test, let me know. I'd like to see sense on Droid. Even better when its done it gets themed. The mytouch 3g had ported over to my Eris when I had it had nice themeing.

this would be amazing if you got 2.2 sense on the droid working completely. i dont know much, but i would love to help if i can. this would be awesome. good luck, i hope this works.

Although I'm of no use when it comes to the actual development, I'll donate and test if you guys get anywhere with this. Good luck!
now we'r talking
looking forward to whats coming.
finals are over on friday but i will be checking daily
we'll be glad to test
I really want to see this go somewhere. Do you have anyone else on the developement end to help you? Im sure ton of people wll test, but developers will be important unless you are really good. Are you making progress, or are you going to ask other devs for help. I can contacts some if it will help.

Awesome! I was bummed that they cancelled the Zeusdroid project, especially all of the support and donations that poured in. I just wish they would release their work to benefit everyone else.

The project won't be canceled. Development might not move at the speed of light but it is moving along.

UPDATE :
Here is the package containing all the APK files from the Market (thanks to androidnews.de): DOWNLOAD
source : http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
Where/how did you get this if it isn't on the market?
It's not official - Google accidently activated it on the Galaxy S. Full story is here:
http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
The music app is a lot more polished than the previous leak including proper menus, streaming options and library modes.
If you have the previous leak installed you have to uninstall it to allow upgrading to the new version, but I assure you it is worth it!
New versions of Camera and Gallery3D are also on TechFrom10. They are not installable however I've unzipped the .apks and it should not be impossible to patch with 2.3 compatibility There are lots of new graphics in the .apks, everything looks like Honeycomb - but on mobile phones
So will installing this overwrite the current music app?
I'm running the GB leak (non-rooted) on a Droid 2. If necessary, will I be able to revert back to the stock music app?

I think you have to be rooted in order to over-write the stock apps, but as I my phone is rooted, I don't know for sure. Feel free to give it a go and let us know!
If you do get it installed then it can be uninstalled which will revert you back to the stock music app.

Just put it on sdcard and Installed via root explorer just by clicking and it just installed it as if its a standalone app, doesnt overwrite android music app.
It looks great.. background seems to change to that of the album art.
And the sound is alot better than HTC music or Stock android music
Check out the landscape mode ....
Can i install on my Wildfire or my Nexus S?
I installed it but the interface was pretty laggy on my phone. No lockscreen music controls either, which is a deal breaker for me.
It installed fine, didn't overwrite the stock app, and I was able to uninstall it.
Do you guys think a reboot would have fixed the lagginess? Is there an option I didn't see to turn on lockscreen controls?
It runs fine on my Desire. The only "lag" I found was on the first load when it populated the library.
I don't seem to have any lock-screen controls either, but then that was the case on the previous leak also.
I'm using an Nexus S with latest GRI54 stock rom, and this thing is not exactly flying.. It's loaded all my music though

Confirmed working on wildfire, not much lag too.
Gave it a shot on my fascinate w/2.2
I liked the overall graphical change from the standard, plain music app. I had a few issues (more like annoyances) with it though.
-If I want to go back to my song list after opening the app via widget, i'm used to just pressing the menu button real fast to go to my library. Apparantly that's been done away with, and now you have to press a tiny button at the top-left of the screen to get to it. Not the most convinient or fastest way to do things, especially if you're a righty.
-Switching songs a bit too rapidly may cause it to lag up and force close.
-No longer able to delete music straight from the app.
I'll be messing with this a lot more once I get some sleep...
Atrix 4G 1.57 update.. definitely not optimised but its definitely louder ;D
I see that TechFrom10 has also published their new Market apk... I wonder if it'll get app updates from Google.. If that's the case, perhaps we will soon see updated versions of Gallery3D, Camera and DeskClock that actually installs
I'm not sure I'm gonna try it anyway, I use too many protected apps (that probably will break), so I won't install the new Market any time soon... Waiting for success story from someone else first
I replaced the new market with the current stock one. Works same as before. I can't see any changes. Neither in the look nor technically. ???
The camera works, but only for pictures
New clock and Gallery wont work (
A note to everyone here:
Hey guys, it's Tim Schiesser (the guy with the phone that obtained this app through the test Market)
There are a lot of other apps on this Market in a "beta" stage that I can't install for some reason. If anyone would like to instruct me on how to pull these off the Market that would be great. I can see:
Visual Voicemail (does nothing)
Sound Recorder v103
Google CarHome v1000
Google Gallery 3D v1.1.40682 (not the same as the 10.2 version)
Google Voice v100.4.2.23
Facebook 10.0
Google News and Weather v9.3.3
GTalk 9.5.3 (with permissions for camera)
I'll check here occasionally, but it would be faster to contact me through Tech From 10
And I thought the Market wouldn't do anything. It's also probably only a matter of time before Google pulls my access.
Enjoy the Music Player too, by the way
The camera works on CM7 both recording so does the music app the gallery keeps crashing let's see if we can get it working. I'm so disappointed in Google why are they still not using a full view finder for the camera.

[APP-Kernels] Kernel Manager released!

Kernel Manager released! Lite (free): http://tinyw.in/0i8, Pro (cost): Available in the Market...ENJOY!
Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce a new app with a very simple but ambitious goal: create a place where all kernel developers can submit kernels easily and reach a much wider audience with ease.
The app currently does this:
1) Downloads a kernel from our fast and stable teamwin server
2) Unzips the relevant files (modules included)
3) Flashes the kernel
4) Installs the kernel modules
5) Clears cache/dalvik-cache
6) Reboots to apply the changes.
This entire process takes less than a minute, generally, (depending on download speeds of course ), and it is extremely simple for end-users to find a kernel, filter by kernel features (BFS, CFS, HAVS, SBC, etc) download/install kernels, and submit ratings for their favorite kernels.
If you use IRC, join us in freenode in #kernel-manager!
In order for this to be a success, we need support from kernel developers like YOU! Submitting a kernel to Kernel Manager is totally free and we even provide hosting for you! Right now I'm looking for kernel developers to submit kernels to start populating the app. Submitting kernels is easy!
THE LINK IS FOR KERNEL DEVELOPERS SPECIFICALLY! Go to http://kernels.teamw.in and register for an account! Once it's approved, you can easily enter new kernels, which immediately show up in the app. The app will be released in the market, and there will be a free+ad supported version, and a for-cost version that removes the ads.
Right now, we have a specific list of supported phones, but plan to add every nand-unlocked phone as soon as possible. (There are a lot of variables to account for on multiple devices to make sure the process works )
Please feel free to provide me with any feedback you have, or feature requests in order to make this a great tool for all of android to utilize!

You guys are awesome on xda. App works perfectly.
Started a kernel flash - during the download, I switched from 3G to WiFi. It didn't like that! Download froze. Phone locked. Just had to push power button until screen off, then power button on to get phone back. From Manage Applications, did a a clear data, clear cache, force close. Tried to run it again (saw that download count was up by one) and it immediately went into unzip. That ran a bit with nothing happening, so I killed it again. Looked on my sd card and found the kernel zip; it was only a couple of hundred kb. in size. Deleted it, ran it again; everything ran smooth (and download count went up by another one.)

It actually does - if you exit the app and re-start it, it will have the correct info (including your vote).
I will fix this in the next release, but it was a minor display bug.

*** To fix the camera I installed "GizmoDroid's Modded Camera" using SGSTools***
Battery Life: 99% after 4 hours in standby
I would love help fixing the camera and turning this into a flashable ROM. Additonally, there may be more APKs that can be deleted but it works like this so I don't want to mess with it.
Additionally, if anyone has any of the Galaxy S 4 and 5 specific apps, I would love to see if we could integrate them into this.

Very interesting idea, I can take the cell related stuff out of the notification bar as well. I can help you package it all up later tonight when I get off work. Maybe even get the camera working
That would be great. I will not be home until later tonight, but would love to see how we can package this up and make sure everything works. I also want to run some battery tests to see what the usuable life is like.

I would love help fixing the camera and turning this into a flashable ROM. Additonally, there may be more APKs that can be deleted but it works like this so I don't want to mess with it.
Additionally, if anyone has any of the Galaxy S 4 and 5 specific apps, I would love to see if we could integrate them into this.

Couldn't you just hit the power button and deactivate data mode and then activate airplane mode?
I visit other countries and that what I do with my phone. Pretty much just use Wifi only. It only drops like 10% for the entire day.

The goal was to remove all cellular features including emergency calls so that it would operate purely as a media device. This way I could give it to a child to use as a media player without having to worry about them figuring out how to turn the call features on etc.

Ah, I didn't catch that part. Sounds like a worthwhile endeavor then.
great job and great idea. I'll be watching this thread closely. if it becomes a flashable zip, I can totally see this getting popular as people start upgrading their devices.
Great idea. I wouldn't use it, at least until I get a newer phone, but a great idea.
Or maybe just remove the sim card?
I saw this being discussed in an earlier thread, the problem with taking the sim out is it still allows for 911 calls to be made and with a child having it anything could happen.

Good point. Thanks.
Fixed Camera... updated OP
I like this idea very much. I could definately see myself using a setup like this when I upgrade my phone. Best of luck to you!

Seems like an interesting idea.
I really like this idea and will likely do this someday.
I wonder if you could just freeze those apps with TiBu... seems like it would work too. That way it is quickly undoable. (is that a real word?) LOL
GPS not working...
Long story short....I now have a work phone and ported my personal cell to Google Voice. I now have a Captivate that I don't have service for. I would love to use it for a PMP and my golf GPS (Using GolfShot). I installed Captivate Touch, Cognition Edition v2.0 - KB1 2.2 by DesignGears from your thread in the development section. I was unable to get GPS to work. So I decided to install Serendipity 6.4 and remove the APK's myself. Still no GPS. Anyone have any thoughts on how to get GPS to work again?

first loading took time...later its pretty smooth than previous versions on 2g
so far no downloading issues for me
Now I have tested this version. As said before the first loading took time. But after that the app is really smooth. Didn't face any problems so far, even with 2G connection.
I just request a 30 mb+ file size download test.... Coz it does happen many times that in this newer version markets large files always showed an insufficient phone memory error and the download never started...
Lemme know if anyone tried a big download and it worked...
Coz I am still happy with the older version as it works decently for me..
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice !
Its better than previous version.. Previous version of market was laggy in 2g

thanks in advance

No it didn't work. Tried to install AppSizeTest 30MB. The Problem seems to be that the market downloads a temporary .apk into /cache.
Thank you so much
Actually, it auto-updated the market for me! All you have to do is (after making sure your on wifi - it works best through wifi I found) get into the Market, go to the "my apps", wait for your apps list to come up, and press the center hard (i.e. Home) button (to keep the market in the background). Now, wait for some time (depends on your connection speed) and your market should get updated.
Worked for me all the way from 2.xx to 3.1.3 to 3.1.5 and now to this.
Updated OP..new Android market 3.4.4 added
