I'm no developer (but have the options enabled in Settings:p), but I think there is something is missing in your post: You only posted the specs of the flac files that are not being played by Apollo & DoubleTwist.
But what are the specs of those that are being played? Do they have a constant bitrate? Is the bitrate > or < than the ±915kbps in your post? Is the version different from 1.1.3 and 1.1.4?
Did you rip the music from your own cd's or did you buy them? Did you buy them from the same source? If you ripped them from cd's, what were the program, the encoder and the version?
Did you try to transcode the files that are not being played to flac with another compression-factor to see if it is played this time?
Lots of questions, but I can imagine if you want help, then you must help us to help you. But maybe someone else recognizes this problem.
Edit: https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android/commit/05ccebd781c72970e433604507b0eb529c2b286b was added an hour ago. Check in the next nightly to see if your flacs now play. Hope it helps:good:
And Merry Christmas to all of you to.

Good evening, Skully. Thank you for your kindness. I must confess that your answer is the most pertinent (and patient) reply I've received so far (other than default ignore). I know and understand that this might seem (and actually is) a stupid problem for most people around here. But really annoying for me. I've spent almost 2 weeks researching it. As such, thank you.

In the end, I did track what was causing the problems (thank God, I save encoding logs for my CDs).

All of those problem albums were encoded with the EAC - "Add ID3 tag" option enabled. All others had this option disabled.

Looking around the web, I did come across an explication for this. Seems that the FLAC standard uses a different kind of tags (vorbis based), where the ID3 tag is for mp3's. Forcing said tags on FLAC's, breaks the standard and as such some software refuses to play them.

http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30377

Maybe the stock ROM codecs ignore all these things and go ahead with the play. Dunno, beats me - not tech enough.

Hopefully, I understood the problem correctly and maybe, one of the developers will take a look at this (if they're really bored and there's no more to improved :D).

In any case, this is not an internal problem of CM, AOSP etc. but one of the encoding program and the files themselves.

Thank you for bearing with me. Skully, you have my gratitude.

You are welcome. And I now have learned something from you just as well about the different id tags:laugh:
CD bitrate is 1440kbps. Yours is >> 1/2 of it. For a mobile phone that is very high. I hope you are using really good headphones, else you likely won't get everything from your music. You can find reviews of headphones at www.whathifi.com.
For the sake of space I transcoded my ripped cd's to wma at constant bitrates of 256 or 320kbps. Direct comparison between uncompressed wav and wma is audible but small with this bitrates when using wma.
I'd advise you to rip some tracks that have huge dynamics and some that are big in spatial information. Madonna's cd Ray of Light has both. Acoustical music and unplugged sessions tend to be good for interpreting naturalness of the recording and spatial information.
Rip them to wav at 16bit/44.1kHa (1440kbps, cbr (=constant bitrate)). Than transcode them to several filetypes using different bitrates. Decide for yourself what is acceptable. Try to keep the wavs as a backup, in case you decide to stream music to your hifi rig some time in the future. Uncompressed music always sounds better.
Just for the fun: rip some tracs as mp3 at 32kbps. This is an extreme example of how utterly bad low bitrates can sound. For me music starts at bitrates of 192kbps. I chose mp3 as an example of a bad codec, but then it was developed ±1990 when processor power was low.
I have ±1/5 of my cd's on my phone now. During this holiday I'll rip more of em. Luckily huge sd cards are now reasonably priced:D
Music is all about dynamics and not adding distortion to the musical signal that is being amplified. Try to play music on your phone when not connected to the wall socket and if possible get a bigger battery. I haven't got one, because I'll buy another phone in a couple of months. You can also buy a battery extender that is connected to the usb port (just thought of it, so I haven't tried it yet). Car-owners often add a huge capacitor to their stereo to increase dynamic reserves. That really pays off in a musical sense.
For further reading I advise you:

Enjoy the music!

My camera wasn't working because the app IseeyouPro wasn't causing the problem. Since I uninstall it, the camera has been working great! :)

After long periods of use, sometimes the phone freezes and the only way is to take battery out. How can I get a logcat of this?


Also, some say formatting SD and Internal will fix the storage binding, is this the case?

Force closing

Hi, was on CM10.1 and was having a lot a FC's such as android.media.process and other apps. Was also was experiencing RIL crashes especially when I was getting incoming calls. Tried to get a logcat but it would only go as far as saying "waiting for device" and hang there.

I came from CM10 with a clean wipe and install. Never had the Superuser issues. So I rolled back to a CM10 nandroid but strangely when I try to get a logcat it still hangs at the same point. I've left it like that for a few mins but it doesn't seem to respond, any ideas with:

1. the logcat
2. why i'm getting so many fc's

PS Merry Christmas to all the devs - thanks so much for your hard work and merry Christmas to my fellow S2'ers

Wifi Direct

Before I ask my question just wanted to say that this CM10.1 is an amazing update. It's smoother than CM10 (if that is possible), the lockscreen stutter issue is fixed and I had some reliability issues with bluetooth audio in car which are fixed now. The only bug I came across is that icon for quick settings in notification bar disappears sometimes, but other than that the rom seems perfect to me. So great job devs! :good:

I just wanted to ask if wifi direct will ever be supported in CM10.x, since its not listed in the known issues. I mean is it a possibility, or is it a lost cause like TV out because of proprietary drivers or something?

Camera Save Location

Hey, great work!

I just have a little Camera question:
Where can I change the destination folder where the pictures are saved/stored? I can not see an option for that.

thanks in advance

    IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS


    We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
    - are running a custom kernel
    - have flashed mods
    - modified system files
    - didn't follow our intructions word by word
    - are unfriendly

    Even if you tell us that your problem is not related to your custom kernel /mod / magic => WE DON'T CARE!
    Your mod => your problem!



    Official CyanogenMod Wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/I9100_Info


    First time installing CyanogenMod 10.1 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
    - Copy GApps and CM10.1 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
    - Make sure you're NOT RUNNING A KERNEL WITH THE MMC-SUPERBRICK-BUG. If you're unsure, flash this ClockworkMod-Recovery using Odin/Heimdall.
    - Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
    - Boot into Recovery
    - Flash CM10.1 zip from internal SDCard
    - Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
    - DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
    - Reboot
    - Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
    - Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

    Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 10.1:
    - Copy CM10.1 ZIP to your internal SDCard
    - Boot into Recovery
    - Flash CM10.1 zip from internal SDCard
    - Reboot

    Upgrading from CyanogenMod 10:
    - Copy GApps and CM10.1 ZIPs to your SDCard
    - Boot into Recovery
    - Flash CM10.1 zip from SDCard
    - Flash GApps zip from SDCard
    - Reboot
    - Wipe data of clock app
    - Reset everything under Settings -> Date & Time otherwise editing alarms might cause FCs

    This build comes with a new kernel which is based on our galaxy s3 / galaxy note 2 sourcetree.
    The wifi driver is ported over from galaxy s4 sources and should fix the tethering issues.

    Please test it as hard as possible.

    NEW BUILD! (sources synced at 02:15 am)

    Whats new!
    Well for starters, the home screen has been spiced up with Trebuchet finally having some funky new transitioning effects :D Off the bat, you will notice this when you install the rom, its kinda like our leaked JellyBean effect :p But theres a whole lotta cool effects where that came from baby! :D Very cool, I like it! (Can be found in settings > launcher)

    Secondly, my last build was built before the wifi-ap was incorporated as a tile, you can now turn wifi off and on from a tile (kinda pointless because you can do it from clicking on the wifi tile anyway, but still cool and useful in my opinion :cyclops:)

    Thirdly (and this is cool) you can view your battery stat on the lock screen now (setting in display)

    Once again, ABSOLUTELY all credit goes to Codeworkx, Entropy and the CM Team, im just a pawn in building it. Guys please donate to them! Without them, this awesome rom would not be possible for this awesome device, and they do it for free! :eek:

    Ps: This is a pure CM10.1 build, no mods or cherry picks, just pure CM10.1 official source synced and built
