I've got the ATOTO A6 with the physical buttons. I discovered that if the ATOTO launcher isn't the one that starts up automatically (as in, if I set CWG to be the default launcher), the physical buttons don't work. :(

PowerAmp seems to play just fine after starting it and going back to the home screen for me. My unit has OS version "ATOTO AICE OS 9.1 2017-11-02 23:01:29". (As seen from Settings->About->System Update) Do you have any other audio-generating app that's running? Since only 1 audio stream is...

I've just purchased a new ATOTO A6 Android car stereo unit, and I really like CarWebGuru. However, I've run into a few problem. FYI: I'm using the latested PowerAmp (2.0.10-build-588-play) as the music player. The ATOTO A6 comes with Android 6 (a stripped down version it seems). And I'm using...

I know, I know. But if I had started a new thread discussing the exact same thing, someone would have undoubtedly taken me to task for duplicating an already existing thread. Please do, and let me know if it works for you without Google Play Services. I didn't feel like rooting it and...

Coincidentally, I was just playing around with the FiOS Mobile app on my FireTV yesterday, since I'm interested in finding a way to stream my FiOS TV channels to my FireTV box in my computer room. I thought I'd share my experience with everyone here. It's true that with the latest version of...

nope. so far I haven't needed root. Android 5.0 has a (rather clunky) way to handle giving specific apps write access to the sdcard, thus eliminating the only reason I would need root.

yes. it will offer the "upgrade" and if you accept, it will wipe and re-flash with the stock OS. this will wipe the phone and install the stock OS, so no, it will not stay rooted after this. that was my attempt at recovering from a factory reset on 4.4.2. my guess was that one of the apps...

I used Samsung's Smart Switch PC. One of the "features" is that it will detect the older Android OS on your phone and offer to install the latest - albeit at the cost of a total wipe and re-flash. (Hence why it recommends you use the app to first back up your phone.) I my case, I had nothing to...

My TMo Note3 did the exact same thing last week. (I was still on v4.4.2.) After fiddling with it a little bit, I decided to try a factory-reset. That worked, and then after signing into google, all my apps started to re-download and install. Once that completed, I rebooted and again got stuck at...

My Note 3 is stock Android 4.4.2, nothing special. It was working perfectly fine today, and this evening I decided to reboot it. Now it's stuck on the "T-Mobile 4G LTE" white screen. It flashes bright every few seconds and the rumble motor kicks, but that's it. I've got no idea what caused it...

Totally giving up on this idea If anyone cares, I've given up on this idea. I've come to understand that PWM audio just plain sucks, and the versions of Android/apps that I'm testing for this setup (listed above) come with a variety of problems that are just too difficult for me to continue...

If anyone's interested, I've made a short recording of the noise. Static.mp3 I'd appreciate it if someone could listen to this and tell me what it is, and perhaps how I can fix it. Right now I'm thinking that it's due to the Desk Mount's electronics (or lack of quality, that is).

Update: From what I've read (and tested), I need the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector app to get it to play audio through the Desk Mount. But only "official" Kernels have the necessary function(s) to support the redirect. Using that app on any other ROM won't work. So that limits me to just the...

Latest version won't install I've got a Samsung Captivate (SGH-i897) running the stock Android v2.3.4. The latest version in the Play Store fails to install. In the log file, I see the following errors: LinearAlloc exceeded capacity (5242880), last=208 ... dexopt failed on...

I've tried many different ROMs and kernels, but so far I've been unable to find a configuration where my Captivate can be used as just a music player with support for music audio through the desktop dock. I don't care very much which Android version I end up with (CM 7, CM 9, CM 10, CM 11, some...
