Yes all audios.

But it sound the same, no crackeling, no distortion, just half loud.

How do you do screen mirroring

You can do screen mirroring if your TV supports direct wifi or miracast. you can also use HTC media link. Or another cheaper option is to use MHL adapter, like the one in the video.

Ive GOT It! BEEEM its nice but how to...

Its fast its nice but how can I do following:
Install programs only on sd card for saving internal memory?
stop the sound of fotocam by shooting a foto?
enable led on recording videos?
thx
To Put the Apps on the SD Card you must Root your Nexus.
To stop the sound of the Camera you can disable the sound in your settings by pressing menu.
Enable the LED during recording may require root as well. I think thats the only way, possibly with Nexus Torch. Not sure though.

To stop the shutter noise just place your phone on silent or vibrate
ok to set on vibrate is a way but i would like to unenable it...
two more issues, how can i use adove flash f.e. i would like to view the desktop youtube site version but it wont work... is there a way like its shown in some presetation videos?
is there any software out for sharing the connection (wlan or 3g) with a windwos computer, my nexus one would became a wlanstick?
I've heard Camera FX on the market has the ability to turn off the sound. Not sure, but someone mentioned that.
Dolphin browser will allow you to set yourself as a "desktop" which should make all website's show up as they normally would on a computer, but I don't know if youtube would work like this. It might require flash update that we will get shortly.
Eitherway, your youtube thing will be fixed soon.

You could program your own widget, or find one that suits your needs better in the market. There isn't an easy way to change them otherwise.

My First impressions with KP8

First of all this is for the noobs, like me, Devs or smart users stay outta this
Below are/were my impressions after playing with KP8 for 45+ minutes,
• Hell of a lot better than previous build, KP1. Yes, I will call it a Beta, finally
• Phone calls were good, in ear volume was good and loud enough for me.
• Vibration intensity is FINALLY back to normal, unlike KP1 where it was so faint that you could barely feel it.
• Ringtone volume is normal.
• Incoming call UI is same as before and the Reject and Answer button doesn't animate while sliding. (Beta)
• Phone signal is rock solid and stable.
• 3G does work, Wi-Fi too.
• Noise Cancellation feature is FINALLY here, you can turn it off/on manually. It was presented in the previous build too.
• Stock broswer is brilliant, smooth as hell, no lag of whatsoever while Auto fit enabled. Lot of customisation options are there too, like font size, invert colors, Desktop view, Bandwith management, Offline reading etc... Flash plugins worked well too, make sure you download the latest Flash Player.
Sad part keeps remaining, no EXIT option
• Contacts have more options to display, attached screenshot.
• Stock GMail app is upgraded, same like KP1, no multi touch/pinch to zoom.
• Stock Email app is kinda weird, all black background, maybe there is a way to change it, didn't have time.
• Clock, Calender, Gallery, Maps, Calculator, Task, Memo (new icon), Mini diary, Voice Recorder, FM Radio, My Files, Voice recorder everything are same as in GB, so no, Sammy won't update those thing in TW for ICS, maybe.
• ICS Lockscreen is weird, doesn't work well.
• Camera works completely well, every settings work, same goes for 1080P Video recording.
• Task Manager is ICS style, slide left to close an app, cool.
• LWP does work, however there are some lags.
• 480X800 Wallpapers DOESN'T fit in desktop! Same like KP1. Should and will be fixed.
• Market works perfectly fine, downloading app works good too.
• No Swype, not that I expected.
• All the network based options were there, including APN's.
• GPS is fine, got lock in indoors!
• YouTube app works perfectly fine, some new options were added.
• Stock video player somehow played 1080P file, it was not watchable for me. Audio was intact on the other hand.
• Music player is SAME.
• Had 3 FC's so far, once system also froze.
• The smoothness allover UI is pretty fine, HW acceleration is definitely there, I like the elastic type scrolling, however it need more polishing, undoubtedly.
• Overscroll glow is reduced somewhat, with ICS color instead of blue. I still hate it anyway.
• Stock fonts worked. Not in Browser and other places though.
• Connection with PC worked.
• Unread SMS icon changed in LS, (I don't like it) and there is NO missed call notification icon in LS!
••• What am I doing? Of course I am going back to my Nandroid backup , no way this was a daily ROM for me.
If I remember anymore I'll update, feeling sleepy.
Attaching some screenshots.
Regards.
Nice list. I think that we've reached the point where we should stop talking about what works, but rather about what does not yet.

How responsive is the accelerometer? When you flip the phone, doors it take long until the content flips?

Live Wallpaper
I found the whole thing to be somewhat unresponsive and the lack of proper SD card support was killer for me.
- Then there was Samsung's firmware update notification that failed when I tried to accept the terms and would not go away.
- Certain apps like gmail would crash and the hole phone would become unstable.
- Overheating problems
- Lockscreen is buggy
Needed a small help. In case, any one of you is going to revert to a more stable ROM, can someone check whether this mod for skipping music when screen off works before doing so?

Enable built in music channel(ROOT)

if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.
Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!
Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!
Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.
Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

I have this 'ACC' folder not system/customize/aac... is it the same?
EDIT: NVM got it...
cheers for that, why that isnt there by default is beyond me, awesome. im running stock aswell
So what is music channel and what does it do for me. I enabled it and don't see any difference so far. Thanks though.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.
Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...
This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Yes, will work on stock, its part of htc's rom, its installed because there music app uses it, but htc disabled the global use.
Just enabled it for ARHD 10.2. Fantastic! Thank you!
i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?
For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

This feature is already there just no such special dedicate button popup at notification.
During playback of song, scroll to right at main music player (from now playing to visualizer) and you will get the exact same thing.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.

Oh others music apps. That I didn't use others apps.
But for HTC own apps, it is there.
I'm using it now with Amazon Prime. Is there a way to turn off the lyrics and just have the visualizations?

Freeform Window Mode Appears to Work on Mate 9

I followed the directions in a recent post on XDA about utilizing Freeform Window Mode to see if it worked on Mate 9. Short answer is it does!
It allows you to, for example, play a video on YouTube and do something else in a different window like type a message. It's a little rough on the edges but definitely usable.
Here is a link to article with instructions if you missed it.

Yes! Don't know how to do that yet.
Here are a few screen shots to show what it looks like on Mate 9. In the screen shot with the recently used apps shown, if you touch the rectangular icon on the top of the app's frame it returns the app to the screen in a floating resizable form again.
HI @mscion
Did you use adb? Will it stay after restart if I use the adb?
Thanks,

Yes to both questions! The app taskbar, that is described in the post I reference works pretty well too. It opens a window you can scroll through all your apps and then select one to open in a floating resizeable window. One thing I noticed is that, when opening an app from recents, it sometimes hangs, not sure if that is related to the the launcher I use. The overall user experience is not as developed as what you would find on the Samsung Note devices but it is quite usable. Plus it won't pause a Youtube video if you change focus to another window. Here is a screen shot with the taskbar window open.
Just did it. Works well. Not sure if I will use it anytime soon though.

Glad it worked! Mate 9 screen is still a bit small to do much with floating windows. Same with Samsung Note series. If one can broadcast screen on a larger monitor might come in handy using a bluetooth keyboard to write a document or some other multitasking.

Just picked up Chromecast Ultra. Does a nice job of broadcasting Mate 9 screen to tv monitor. Floating windows appear to look OK so in principle you could have a desktop experience. Some pictures off my monitor.
