ive noticed we have incredibly low headset volume? is there any mods i can use to gain a boost. right now im useing the volume boost app. but i would prefer a more permanent fix
Dsp manager. Look in xboarders thread, dl the flashable zip, flash from recovery or rom manager(if you must)
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
I have the same issue. Mostly want to boost the ringer volume.
I found few topics for DSP manager when using the search.
I'm not sure which one exactly works for Desire Z and sense roms.
A lot of people though complaining to stick on splash screen after installing and rebooting.
Anyway... is this going to work on Desire Z or not /sense rom ok/?

because in the comments here it is written that is not:

Thank you in advance too.
If you use Xboarder's sense ROM, DSPManager will work.
If you are on a stock sense ROM, it will not work.
So use a custom sense ROM because it feels the same but works even better.
What headphones are you using? I believe the output jack only outputs up to 32 ohms. If you use higher impedance rating headphones, that would explain the lower volume. I have tried to email HTC specifically about the output rating of the Desire Z, but over the course of 3 weeks, they actually told me that their engineers refused to divulge the info! For whatever reason...
What volume boost app are you using? Volume+ works decently. The difference is not huge, but it helps significantly. Only works on Gingerbread ROMs. What ROM are you on?
Volume+ is paid app on the Market, but free at the devs website:
http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread
redshoes you might be out of luck if you're not noticing any improvement.
The unity v4 kernel is supposed to sport a 20% audio boost itself and then paired with Volume+, I think that'd be about the best you could do. It's odd that Volume+ is not working for you. Perhaps you should bring that up with the developer.

Dsp manager works on unity, coredroid, synergy sense roms. As well as every GB rom I've tried. Never had anything negative from flashing it. There is only 1 dsp manager btw..

I've been using rmk 2.42 sense with the unitiy v4 kernel which is said to give a 20% increase. Volume is low( to my taste ) with the stock headsets that came with the phone or even skullcandys. I use volume boost which basicaly does the same thing. I tried the dsp install in the post above but I bootloops a couple times. It seems we have a limit set cause maybe of the 2.3.3 leak that has never been truly removed. The only solution I've seen is running a asop rom

I use Virtuous Doubleshot 1.1.0 RC1 with Unity V4 kernel – (I put it in my signature, but don't see it) ... and I thought of writting to the developer to ask him if I should or should not see any difference with the app installed
A little bit scared to try DSPManager. I read today more than an hour for it, there are a lot of threads for it.

Alright.. so we all probably use virtuous rom, gingervillian,cyanogen or miui.
I wanna know why everyone chooses each one.. I've flashed all and am just curious to why everyone else chooses the roms they do.. what really makes you stay with the rom you have??
I run miui. To me cyanogen lacks full customization. And has no benefitial features over miui. I get same battery life and phone runs smoothly at 1ghz as it would on any other rom. ONLY issue is random reboots. Which is a theme issue not a rom issue.. And I don't care for sense roms.. to me they slow the phone down.. although I am waiting for cm7 to become stable before my first flash.
Sent from my G2.
Currently I am running MIUI. I'm still getting used to it but overall I like it. I love the UI. It looks clean and it's quick.
Stock post ota deodexed.... because every other rom gives me some sort of problem that there is no guide to fixing and I don't have the time to troubleshoot the bull****

The 1.2Ghz clock speed from the God speed thread.
Anything higher than that affects my battery and I don't see any obvious benefit as I don't play any games that need a higher CPU.
virtuous because of eye candy and htc streams are awesome!!
which rom saves battery most?
I use CM6.1.1
I previously tried Virtuous because I always wanted a Sense phone but realized Sense actually sucks, well the messaging, gallery and dialer at least.
I use my phone heavily for A2DP bluetooth streaming and apperantly cyanogenmod is pretty much the best rom for bluetooth audio quality, also the added equalizer feature is awesome. Its just like the stock rom whish I loved since my nexus days but with just the right amount of customization.
MIUI looks annoying as hell, why not just buy an iDevice if your into that UI?

When you install an app, sometimes it comes with an odex file (i believe it's an extension of some sort to the app) When you are de-odex'd, it merges the extension (dot odex file) with the apk. The only reason I wanted this rom was to use themes for stock roms. I also found that it boots the phone up a hell of a lot faster.
Highly recommended for people who want the stock feel but like small mods here and there.

That's not a rom...
that's a kernel........... *facepalm*
I run Virtuous for a few reasons:
1. camera - the stock Android camera app is abysmal. Few options and not easy to use in the least.
2. music player - genre support is a big one for me
3. Sense - I use LauncherPro, but I prefer the sense contacts and other features.
4. I installed the 3D gallery from stock, so I have access to both. One other small benefit of the otherwise useless Sense gallery is a scrollable 'share' pop-up. On stock ROMs (or CM), if you have too many options in this menu, you can't scroll so you can't access them. Sense lets you scroll the 'share' list.

Not everything about miui is iphonish... and even the parts that are you have options.. the menus? I turn those to the standard grid. the icons? Not all are uniformed "squares" all thou the theme is use they are. But I actually am I fan of uniformed icons. I think it looks cleaner.. imho. What about miui looks annoying?? I admit the original launcher is lame. But I don't use it.. I think docks and notification bars are lame. I don't use either and rock adw.. swipe down for notifications and up for apps. plus you can't tell me miui lock screen isn't sexy..

Hey guys, as the title really!
I've been a long term user of Android Revolution (flashed the day I got my Desire HD!) but I've recently switched to Cyanogen 7 to check it out, and I'm pretty impressed.
Mike1986 has just released 5.1.10 which looks awesome, I'm just wondering if anyone has any comparisons between the two ROMS in term of speed/battery life?
Thanks!
I have tried a few sense roms(including AR) and cyanogenmod pretty much beats them in every aspect(speed, battery life, general usability)...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If you want the stock HTC Sense look and feel then go with Android Revolution. However if you want Android as Google intended then use Cyanogenmod.
Personally i liked both ROM's but i just couldn't give up Sense in the end.
I'm guessing they're both similar in terms of optimisation and performance tweaks? ARHD boasts a massive amount of tweaks in their thread but I can't seem to find much regarding C7.
AR is fast and the life span of the battery is quit good but the gps signal was very poor compare to CM7 is really good on detecting gps signal. So far was not much comment except the gps problem from the sense rom.
I really like CyanogenMod more even though I love some of the functions on Sense like the clock and usb connection features eg: internet passthrough.
I tried out Android Revolution HD but in the end I went back to CyanogenMod. ARHD is just not as fast because of Sense and it takes a lot longer to boot up too.
I am using ARHD and i am very impressed, by now i dont have any intention to change it

If you wanted to read over the tweaks list for CM7 you'd have to invest a couple of hours of your time! While ARHD has plenty of tweaks, these are essential modifications of the stock ROM. CM7 is built from the ground up and has low level code modifications from some very bright minds indeed. From kernel and driver tweaks to the ARM optimisations, CM7 is always a step ahead in this respect.
Regards.
I don't use rosie (or any of the sense widgets therefore) but do like some of the sense apps - people, dialer, calendar etc are all better than stock. Does cyanogen keep these?
I used ARHD no sense for a while (tested CM 6 and a few others) but since CM7 was released I will stick to it. Simply the best and fastest rom in my opinion.
Latest CM7 Nightly + LordMod UE UUV + 26.09.04.11 Radio seems to be the best combination for my DHD
In my opinion Android Revolution is better, because it looks better for me.

no, it does not, but you can still use ARHD with the no-sense mod which keeps those "sense" apps
the only thing i like about sense rom is the frienstream and the camera.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I've changed back to CM7 with a custom kernel (LorDModUE V4.0 BFSv404), I can't see me changing this for a while!
I really like ARHD no-Sense. So, if Cyanogen will be released and be cool than ARHD - maybe will be migrated..

You can't use the Sense camera app, you generally get the stock Android one instead. Some people prefer HTC's version, I don't use either so I can't really comment.

To be honest, ARHD and CM7 both are good ROM, but CM7 have one big issue that can't solve until now.. the wired headset not working...
Speed wise, both not much different.
ARHD look much better...

WHAT!?!?!?! LOL!!! Dude, headset is working perfectly! I'm using it almost every day. The thing is that you have to configure your phone properly. It can easily be messed up by music apps.
Shinobee and Dod6 - you can configure CM7 to make it look the way you want. If you put a little work into it, the UI may look waaay better that Sense and won't require that much from the phone.
Just flashed arhd the other day and thought it was very nice, I've moved onto virtuous unity 2.39 now and I must say that I find it much smoother and more responsive. I'm probably gonna stick with this for a while but I've decided that my next ROM must be non sense so add to broaden my horizons, likely to be cyanogen 7 as a first choice.
I want to flash my first ROM ever and ive been trying to read a bit and decide on the most appropriate ROM for me. I want something fast and with a good battery life and from what Ive been reading Absolution seems to offer both these things really well. One thing I dont think im willing to give up right now however is the ability to sync facebook images and information onto my contacts. Do Absolution and other Cyanogen based ROMS allow us to do that? Any one with any other suggestions that you think may be easier for me to handle for a first ROM? Also, is there a way for me to backup my current stock rooted ROM so I go back to it in case I dont like CM?
If you want cyanogenmod based ROMs, for me blackICE ROM is the best by far.
If you want to stick to official releases for our DHD, Android Revolution or wait for LeeDroiD to update his ROM
If your want sense 3.5, in my opinion SmartDroiD is my ROM of choice,it really is the best ROM I've ever used, but there is ER3BUS ROM and RcMiX Runny. Currently I'm on ER3BUS as I wanted to test it and I've ended up loosing my USB cable so I'm stuck atm but I will be returning to SmartDroiD soon as I can.

Lol, just thinking out of the box here.why not just download the ROM on your phones browser and then flash it? I've had a desire for 2 years and think out of the 1000 times I've flashed, only 3-5 of those roms was put on there from my computer..

Yea, when you first install a custom ROM after making your choice, obviously you will have clockwordmod recovery on the phone. From here you can do backups (referred to as nandroid backups) you can also initiate this from ROM manager.
Good luck intrepid Modder.
Also my recommendations are
Sense - Android Revolution HD. It's stock Sense look and feel with good battery life and amazing support, practically 24hour.
AOSP - CM7 - Again amazing support and a great experience. It can link your FB profile pics, but don't expect and decent resolution.
Bleeding Edge - LC ICS Beta 4.5 - Great if you want to try the new flavour of Android but really not for the new modder.
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Knowing that I can back up my stock rom is particularly comforting. Im hoping il have enough time this weekend to get around to doing this. By then Il make sure to look around for some videos of each of those ROMs in order to better choose my first
I feel that Absolution and Blackice are roughly on par with each other, and both are excellent. I'm very curious about Wilkyyy's reasoning...
If your only serious criteria are speed and battery life, the Oxygen 2.3.2 port can't be beaten IMHO. It has far fewer "options" than the former two ROMs though, and there is no CM7-style theming. If you use an alternate launcher like Go, though, then this isn't really an issue or even very relevant.

Everyone will tell you what they think is the best rom out there. It is all a matter of opinion and taste. I would suggest watching the threads and see which ones are up to date with features that are appealing to you and try them each out for a few days/hours/minutes etc until you settle into one that makes you happy. There are tons of quality roms and many that are inactive as far as development too. Just be sure to back up your go to or stock rom before experimenting.
i would say virtuous affinity-v1.48.0 its fast and dont use much battery
i think you can use mybackup pro to backup your stock rom
but i think you need to root it first
Don't think twice, perfect ROM for DHD is Android Revolution HD™ 6.3.1.

How's that, chief? You can use launcher themes to change the look of your phone interface, if you're really "into" that kind of thing. Yeah, sure, your settings menu won't change, but if you're gonna lose sleep over that, then your problems run much deeper in my opinion.
Another alternative for Oxygen is the kitchen, which has already been done by at least one user.

Android Revolution and Absolution are my two favorites... Can't go wrong with either and you get a mix of flavors, Sense (ARHD) and CM7 based (Absolution). I randomly switch between these two but Absolution has more development and updates happening than does ARHD.

Hi every one,
It makes some months now that we can use ics roms aokp or ics with sense but one issue which has not been fixed and considered is the headset buttons.
they don't work on any ics ROM.
On original headset it doesn't work, but also on the jays one+ and philips s9005a (great headphones ) with dedicated button app.
For me its look like its kernel related and I would like to ask developers of those ROMs to say something about this issue : fixable/not fixable, kernel related/not related. Thanks for your answers !

Hello,
Recently my beloved HTC Sensation broke and since it was no longer made, it was replaced with a g2 which so far I have no complaints about, but there was this one rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531054 made by team venom which I loved. It was essentially the stock jellybean android with the sense (I know there is no sense for samsung) just lightened with more customization. So far the only roms I have found have been CM based, AOKP or AOSP which I am not as big of a fan of just based on the fact, that at least with the sensation the stock rom with some tweaks performed much better than other roms. Please feel free to inform me that other rom versions perform better on the g2 than stock, currently I am on the factory ics with some crap removed by TI and Setcpu to underclock it to squeeze some battery life out of it and even on powersave gov it is snappy. Thanks
I'm not going to make any statements regarding performance - that's for you to determine for yourself. If you want stock JB, you should be looking in the development thread for version 4.1.2. The most current touchwiz work seems to be from Rushing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670624). I haven't used his roms, but many people have given favourable reviews.
ptmr3 produced a favourite JB rom awhile back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818305
I have been using NorthernTouch v1.3, but v1.4 is available (mirror link) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279348
If you're on T-mobile and use wifi calling, you might want to be looking specifically for roms based on UVMC6 rather than TLUMC4, which is from Telus. Happy flashing!
The ptmr3 rom looks like exactly what I want, I might be getting to greedy here but can I change music with long presses of the volume rocker while the screen is locked? I didn't see that on there.
Also I dont see wifi calling but I hope im mistaken.

I could be wrong, but I think there's an Xposed module that can do volume rocker music control. Wifi calling is not something I ever look for, so you're on your own there. Time to do some of your own searching.
