T428 Nexus Rom SDK2 and Multi-Windows - Official

Audio patch for switch between audio output

test this patch and if all is ok, we can add it to the next version of nexus multi-windows

Yes, it works! I haven't had time to test sound input with a microphone yet but at least changing the output between HDMI and headphones connected to a USB sound card works. In SoundAbout just change the 'Media Audio' device between "Speaker" and "Wired Headphones" and that's it. Beware of sudden changes in output volumes when changing to headphones!

Simple installation instructions:

1. Unrar the audio package somewhere
2. Using ES File Explorer copy the 'system' directory you just unrar'ed
3. Paste it in '/' accepting each overwrite etc.
4. Install SoundAbout
5. Prof^h^h^h^hEnjoy

Just reboot the device. Also make sure that you set r/w properties to system folder BEFORE editing build.prop
Worked for me.

Thanks, that works ...

I have been using this ROM for a few days now and I like it a lot, so I would like to say thanks to strauzo for all the fantastic work

I installed a few apps and tweaks and my t428 is buttery smooth, even with very high bitrate videos off of my gopro hero 3 black edition that choke my i5 laptop, so I was wondering if there's a way to create a rom from the t428 as is with all the apps and tweaks I did.
I'm a noob when it comes to anything past flashing a rom and I did lookup a few things...
Does dumping the rom do the job? Or do I have to install a kitchen and edit the rom off the device?

Not sure how I would go about triggering a first boot to show the awesome welcome screen where people would select their language, wifi network, etc..

sorry if these are answered somewhere else and thanks everyone

I believe you can do this with Rom toolbox. Just made a backup, wipe data, and run program to make Rom a flammable zip

I've been trying to tweak a few things myself but I keep getting stuck trying to customize settings.apk. I pull the apk using adb along with framework-res.apk use apktool to decompile the apk then make my edits (removing entries in the settings menu that are NA like battery or no longer used like HDMI) recompile the apk push it out to /sdcard/ with adb then use zipsigner on the stick to sign it with the platform key then use adb to move that back to /system/app/ but the apk doesn't work, Strauzo or anyone else care to shed some light on this as this method works on other devices.

Hi,

Have you been successful in getting the back button to work?

Hi,

Unfortunately no, it's a Unfortunately no, I don't even know where to start looking for the aprpriate .cpp file to edit but would definately do if I did.

I understand Stauzo wants to keep his rom pure but given that most remotes on the market expect right click = back behavior it's a bit of a pain.

at moment all mouse with more that two button can do back. Or automatically, or via customization of the keylayout file generic.kl

Hi,

Could you provide a 1080p kernel and boot image for this v1.2 release?

Cheers

1080p kernel is in first post of experimental firmware.

But for me the best UI resolution on all rk3188 devices is only 720p now and forever. With the next board with different CPU and expecially GPU i hope we can use also 1080p kernel that is usefull only for the Android ui and not for video. Because for video 1080p also with a kernel 720p, if we have good hardware/software, the hdmi transmitter should send the video to the tv at 1080p

The tv via edid info inform the android device of possible resolutions and the android device send according to the multimedia content resolution.

This already happen with all good phone/tablet with hdmi output and also with mhl adapter.

The kernel 720p / 1080p is for android ui / lcd resolution not for the hdmi output. Responsable of hdmi output is the hdmi transmitter that in all android hdmi stick is crap.

This is was i think. But i hope to be wrong !

it take much debuging to get it to work.
so be sure to use terminal with logcat comand to backtrace the problem.
there is no need to sign the apk.
you can but esier is just to open the compiled apk (unsigned) with 7zip
and copy android manifest and meta-inf folder from orginal setting.apk
also you cant delete some xml text lines becouse you get fc, do 1 by 1 to test.
if you have any question just ask
im doing alot of changes to settings.apk latly

I'd say you are wrong in some aspects. Our main problem with the HDMI output is that there is no proper controller - by my experience, it is "just" a bridge between the screen and the device, not an actual output (hence the LCDC-thing). This is good for hard-coded things (as it will ALWAYS expect one screen connected), but leaves out the main reason of using HDMI - the multiple size and resolution of screens. Now, if we had a proper HDMI controller, or a properly written kernel, we could get rid of the lcdc code, and have direct HDMI output (very much like the tablets based on rk3188). This would free up resources, and most probably add further compatibility and speed.

Also, the screens report proper EDID, the problem lies within the system that processes this. The EDID info is processed, and no matter what, it sets to 720p, unless specified otherwise. So we could say it is a hardcoded value instead of dynamic.
