Does anybody have a sense 3.5 ROM link with beats audio fully fuctional

You won't find one our hardware does not support it, they can get all the flashy displays to come on saying its active but that is about all you will get. It's like trying to install bluray display drivers into a dvd player.

The Beats Audio API could be implemented, which would allow software that needs it to work normally. Of course, features that require hardware that is not present won't work (though it would appear to work as far as the app knows). As for installing Blu-Ray software for a DVD drive, it can be done and it does work though you are limited to BD-5 and BD-9 discs (blu-ray format video burned on normal DVD media).

Won't matter if you don't have a hdmi cable coming out of the back. Might as well save yourself trouble buy the dvd version. Also I have burned bluray movies onto normal dvd they play just fine on my regular dvd players just have to transcode them to dvd format and compress.

To be fair, the format was intended for use with things like home movies, where a person has a DVD burner in their computer but a blu-ray player hooked up to their TV. That way, they could burn the blu-ray format video to a regular DVD and then play it on the big screen TV without having to transcode them to SD quality.

It doesn't work, it has all the look that it does but people can't tell any difference in sound or people have said it sounds worse. If you believe it does I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

A bit off topic but does beats audio live up to all it's hype?
I had bought a refurbished laptop through HP with it and thought the sound was average as far as the laptop speakers went (and the speakers were along the front of the laptop which drove me insane!)
I've been debating buying earbuds looking at beats and bose..

WOW
Really is all I can say if it only had surround sound then I would give it a 10 out of 10 but I will have to give it a 9.8. I used Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate to convert the Dark night and boy for 720p video its killer to be able to stream from my phone this quality. WOW But i used the One X profile and it out put 1280x720 i am sure i could get full hd later on but for a simple convert it it kills all other programs for the Evo Lte.
I really think its a great tool that if you used it the right way you could do about any thing. Yes its a little laggy but not by much when playing video it really does not see any of the lag at all. I really can not say more then WOW.

I might take you up on that, Depending on what HTC support says.
so far I love it also!
I'd love to be able to do other tasks (send sms, look up reviews on the imdb app and so forth) while watching the movie on TV. just like that demo I saw on YT of the One X over the MediaLikn HD
for a quick minute one time I was able to do this. stranegly enough I cannot not duplicate it...
anyhow, I did play a movie oncoded to 720p, 1500kbs, mp4 and it played nicely.
I'll try a better quality encode next time.

Most tasks, if you want them to stay on the tv, you have to three finger swipe up when on that screen, like the music app.

The only bug is that to get 3g and media link to work you have to edit ur build.prop to enable tether

I just picked mine up today. It's okay...but I think I'm going to return it. $90 is a bit steep price wise and it lags a little too much for me. Plus Netflix plays on both the phone and the TV through this not just the TV so you have to leave your phone's screen on, which I dislike.

The design of this thing is awesome. Pair it with those monster 14 pound EACH speakers and man, that's drool worthy.
However, this device is kinda confusing to me. Is it a dumbed down receiver? Is it a dumbed down Google TV device? I can play vids from YouTube and and Google Play and music and that's it?
Where are the shots of what ever interface this will have? Where is Netflix? Huluu Plus? Amazon Prime? This seems to be the most limited - as far as what can be done with it from the get-go - device I have seen El Goog push out in a long while. Sad.
As good as it looks, it seems rushed to me. Why pay $299 for something that is simply novelty and available in many different flavors already?
Till they add a bit to it, or someone hacks it and makes it much better. Sorry Goog, I pass.
While they were doing the presentation, I understood it as it was just a receiver that connects to some speakers or a tv, so once you connect to it (I forget if it was WIFI or NFC) you can just play music or videos on the speakers or tv; and anybody that connects to it is able to play what they want on it.
It looks great and all but for $300 its definitely not worth the price tag.
This is on the network so I hope that it has easy access to Windows shares and that it will be able to play 1080p MKVs with lossless audio.
I haven't played around with playback on devices.
Even though it is pricey if it has this full feature set then I may pick this up. Would be a nice improvement over plugging in a laptop to the TV.

From what I was told yesterday, it won't. The guys here at IO said it would only stream from them (movies and music stored in their cloud or Play Store).

It's $300 because it's supposedly actually manufactured in America... so do with that what you will
I'm still very confused as to what it is/how it works. Doesn't seem worthwhile.
seems like the coolest looking piece of crap.
The engadget preview says much of the price is because of the built in amp, which, IMHO is totally unnecessary. I have a surround sound system.. why would I want stereo sound from that puny little thing?
Drop the amp and $100 off the pricetag and this thing will sell itself. Oh, and unlock the damn thing. Only plays stuff from the play store? Google is starting to sound like apple...

Really? It has a USB port explicitly for the purpose of hacking it. I have no doubt the Nexus Q will be a cool device to own once there's enough dev support for it.
It seems like Google released the Nexus Q with the idea that the android community would figure out what to do with it.
Nexus q + dev support = sold. However I will wait for the support first instead of buying and hoping....
Its an interesting device, but I'm disappointed that they at least didn't add an "airplay" style connection for displaying your phone or tablet screen on the tv via wifi. That would at least make it more appealing for the price
I sat there during the keynote thinking what a killer feature this would have been for a google tv. Instead it's a more expensive and more limited device.
I came away from i/o feeling like the google tv is being de-prioritized and they want to push this device instead because it's locked down to google play content. There were zero mentions of google tv during either of the keynotes. There were sessions but after sitting through a few it seemed as if all the new and exciting things were happening in other product lines. I don't mean this as a dig at the google tv devs. I just think the company has made a cooporate decision to lock this down.
Maybe I'll feel a little different after unboxing it tonight and playing with it some but I just can't see myself getting on board this product line and I'm a google fanboy. It just feels like a limitations by design concept.

That's cool. But inconsistent. Not everyone is tech savvy enough to even flash anything and I would be more apt to group those individuals with ones who would use the banana plugs on the back. It doesn't take an audiophile to desire more than 2 channels of sound.
I think its a brilliant device and ill probably get one once the price goes down. I just think it may increase sales to offer one without the amp - is it really that big of a selling point?

Agreed. This isn't like our Android phones running custom ROMs. You buy an Android phone, ANY Android phone, and you can:
1. Make phone calls
2. Send text messages
3. Use email
4. Browse the web
5. Download, install, and use the full Play Store catalog of apps
All without any hacking at all. When you install a custom rom, you're basically getting a few added features, customization, optimization, maybe the ability to overclock or run a select few apps that need root. You know, little things that aren't necessary but are nice to have.
The Nexus Q is different because it's gimped right out of the box. You basically can't do anything with it, other than play music and videos from the Play Store only (and who even has a huge collection of that stuff?). Even the very first Apple TV was capable of streaming content through a local network, even if it was limited to stuff you added to your iTunes library.
I appreciate Google reaching out to the dev community, but they can't rely on them to do all their work for them. What the Nexus Q should have been was a tiny Android desktop computer, controllable directly with an Android phone using a specific app (something like Gmote) and able to run any and all Android apps. I'm excited when I see thumb-sized Android computers available for under $100. The NQ could have been a cooler, more premium version of that, but as it is, it's both overpriced AND has no features.
YouTube app
So not living in US forces me to use Music and the YouTube app. Now it's time to do some raging.
Playing youtube vids on my tv is awesome through the app and all that. But I want to be able to play several videos. I have several playlists but the only option on a playlist in the youtube app is to delete it. Opening the playlists gives you the possibility to play one (and only one) video in a row. It really sucks. I don't want to open the app every time a video has ended :/
Guys what are you complaining about? Your where given cool toy for free because you are developers. You are suppose to find better applications for it . Just do it. Few years ago you had T-Mobile android phone without anything useful on it , nobody completed

All you guys in here complaining are just not dev or inspiring to be one cause from what I seen you're able to load a launcher to it from adb and stream netflix in 1080 so you guys dont really understand android or google yet but you will.
Sadly, I will buy a multitude of these for a project if someone can get the damn thing rooted and unlocked...
I have been away form the android development for a while now as it didnt have the ability to view movies in it nor was there a tv-out. I was wondering if any of the more recent builds have addressed this? I am having a heck of a time finding it via thread search.
Nope, I don't think anyone got TV out working. There were always bigger fish to fry, and with the userbase not really clamoring for it... No dev ever worked on it.
All our code is open source, so anyone can pickup where we left off. I'd say the project is pretty much done tho.
Wait, the Rhodium has TV-Out hardware? I didn't even know it could do that in WinMo! That's... actually kinda cool, although with as dinky as its CPU is I'm not sure just how useful it would be anyway -- who wants to play a 240p YouTube video on a big TV?

It requires an additional dongle, which should have been provided if you got the phone brand new.
I've never used it - I can't imagine videos are a pleasant thing. Perhaps a presentation or pic slideshow would be cool tho.

I have used it and it is actually quite awesome! I have watched full size divx movies using TCPMP/Core both at home on 46" HD (just to test it) and at various hotels/resorts (cause I always have some new movies ready anytime I fly) and the quality is perfect! To my eye the rhods screen and the attached monitor are pixel for pixel identical. HQ youtube looks fantastic, the same as my HTPC playing youtube in 480p. Haven't tried powerpoint yet but the picture slideshow is kinda cool too.
This is just another reason that I love haret/SD builds from XDAndroid. This is a function that I do not use 99% of the time but it IS there when I need it. That and offline GPS are the 2 big ones that keep me attached to WM (and my BT ODBII scanner I guess, but I have a feeling I COULD get this rockin' in android...if I wanted to put in the time )
EDIT: LOL. ODBII = OBDII... Every damn time!! I blame Old Dirty Bastard

Pixel for pixel, gawd I hope not. 480x800 on an HD screen would probably look AWFUL.
Does it at least put it in a respectable aspect ratio...?
Really surprised anyone actually uses this, haha. I guess some dev can still pick it up? Has anyone even tried the TV Out in Android? Seriously doubt it works, just curious.
lol, yeah it outputs in VGA only. So you have to set your monitor either to have black bars on the sides or zoom(which is perfect for widescreen movies). I watch all my movies at home streaming using the divx web player so I am used to 480p on my HDTV(they may be a little smoother looking on the HTPC since its outputting 720p). These movies look pretty good to me(tho HD mkv changes everything). And free increases the resolution ten fold!!
Anyway, back on topic... I have never tried in GBX because I do not use an official cable for TV-Out and because of this I have to "trick" WM by changing the registry so that it will recognize my cable as a TV-Out and not just a headset as it senses automatically. It actually has to change the function of the pins of the mini usb and thus the headphone jack of the multifunction dongle. The sheer hackiness of the solution in WM tells me that there is no way in hell that it will work for me in android with my current hardware.
And, to be honest I don't really want it in android. Lets face it, without external power you could probably watch like one TV episode before the battery crapped out(okay, a bit of an exaggeration, I know, but you know what I mean).
EDIT: Even more off topic but I can't resist. I have ordered a usb OTG cable from hong kong for a buck and once I get it my next experiment will be trying to play a movie using TV-Out, off of an external hard drive, hopefully while on external power.
As long as there are still new things to try on my rhod I can put off getting a new phone... but I am running out fast!

I actually get great battery life from you guys GBX (I have hacked the crap out of it). I go easily all day and night doing everything and more than in WM. I love them both!

I can now answer half of your question: You definitely have the ability to watch movies on the rhod running android.
I have just installed MX player from the market and am about 20 mins into a 700mb divx movie on GBX0C with kernel 3.4. So far it is playing very well (much better than I expected, especially with no OC!).
MX installed no prob, then when I started it up it said something like "no codec installed. Install from market?" clicked yes, market comes up with Codec for MX Player (armv6), install that then play movie on card. Great!

i can tell you that OMGB rom does not have a tv-out or at least my phone dont recognize the tv-out cable and flat screen to "see" my phone either. i have one of those tv-out HTC Multimedia ACT100 TV Out Cable for HTC Fuze/Touch Pro cables. works in winmo not on android. but i havent tried any special apps either.
speaking on the quality of the output video in Winmo when put on a TV. It has a lot to do with the file your playing obviously. I carry the same sentiment previously mentioned the RCA out and the offline GPS (tomtom) are what keeps me attached to my Phone.
I use the TV out nearly every day I hook it up to the Gym TV to do insanity or P90X, and listen to the audio via BT headset (I already looks like a fool jumping around I don't need to cause more displeasure on people making them endure Tony Horton or Shawn T). The video shows up not perfect, but I have super compressed files, its good enough to tell what the exercise is and how much time is left)
This setup would be perfect If core player (.mp4 files) would accept AVRCP inputs on the rhodium but that is where my perfect setup falls short. I suppose rather then viewing new phones I could purchase a 32gb sd card and just get different file formats of the videos.
Thank you all for the input, ill live with what i have for now, great work to all the devs as far as they took this project.

I have tried four free divx players on the Google Play Market on my Rhodium running GB0X. The best performance I found was with Seaman Player, I think that is what it was. MX was sketchy for me, and none of them play as sharply as watching the same files in CorePlayer in WinMo.
To keep from getting to far OT, I have the dongle and it works great in WinMo, but given the playback performance on the built-in screen my hopes are not high that we would have good results on TV-out.
I am trying to solve the low storage problem.
I have try G music on my GS3, its way too slow to transition from 1 song to another.
It also uses way too much data, i would hit 5gb before the week end. sadly i dont have unlimited data.
Any other cloud storage that is fast(like stock player) and uses less data at 320kbps?
Or i should just get the note 2? I love everything about the note 2 better then Droid dna
But i like the Droid dna build quality.
I think Subsonic does something like you're asking for... it's streaming media like GMusic but it lets you configure the stream a lot more. I think this'll be what I use once my DNA arrives.
To quote their site: "If you have constrained bandwidth, you may set an upper limit for the bitrate of the music streams. Subsonic will then automatically resample the music to a suitable bitrate."

so that i dont sound like a shill, since apparently a handful of the folks here think that just because we got the phone early thats what we are...
i would say go with what you like best. i love my dna and after getting my hands on a note 2 for a bit i would choose the dna easily. but if you love everything about the note 2 except the build quality it should come down to how much weight buld quality has against everything else.
huh. I have no gaps between song playback, and I never use more than a 2GB or so using Google Music all the time. You could always save a playlist or two to the phone for the day while on WiFi and keep rotating what's stored on the phone. Admittedly, not the best solution...

I don't think you need an actual dedicated server for Subsonic. Pretty sure it's just a program that runs on your desktop. I use a similar thing called Tversity, but for sharing movies around the house.

if you want to use less data than stream lower quality music, a 320kbps will use up a ton of data while streaming at 128kbps will use less than half as much. personally i got spotify premium free 2 day thing right before going on a long bus ride and i watched my data plan being used up at a rate of 100MB/hour of streaming at the highest quality they have (320kbps) quite entertaining considering my data plan atm is too large for me

Phil nickenson from android Central said that it will read from external storage but probably not write to it.

Bought one of these for a couple bucks on ebay. When it comes I'll plug in my usb-to-micro sd adapter and we'll see what we get.

I'm having this problem
I think Subsonic will be the perfect fir for you...
I realize this might not be helpful, but I've found Spotify to be absolutely perfect in this regard. You can choose playlists to store offline (and as songs are added, it downloads those songs via wi-fi, or wi-fi/mobile depending on settings you choose), and you can choose different quality for offline vs. streaming (so I have 'normal' quality for streaming, and 'extreme' quality, which is 320kbps afaik, for offline use). So I keep my starred/favorites playlist stored for offline use, everything else streaming. No lag, no trouble, works absolutely perfectly on the DNA and doesn't require much space because I only store offline the songs I am currently listening to most. When I get sick of them, I unstar them and star others. So I rarely stream any music.
That is, if Spotify has the songs you like, and you are willing to pay the $9/month for it.
I use cloud-based services (Google, Amazon, etc.) However, I absolutely love Audiogalaxy. It's free and available on the Market. Once installed, you tell it what folders to point to, and voila, you have a music streaming service from your home.

Looks interesting, but here's what it says regarding Audio Galaxy on Google Play:
Sorry, Audiogalaxy is no longer accepting new users. Thanks for all your support. Please don't download this app unless you already have an account.
It's still hooked up to my TV but I forgot it's there.
No, I use mine daily. Its one of my favorite devices in my house.

Watch video podcasts on YouTube and listen to music. The two things it was designed for
I did try cm10.1 for a bit but it was too clunky so I went back to stock.

I use mine daily also. We watched The Hobbit on Saturday and I listen to music. I have three.
I use my everyday for Netflix, youtube, streaming radio, stored music, Google Music, web browsing on my TV.
If only Cm10.1 didn't break the amp so I could still power my sub

Not great on quality, but you can certainly stream from the Nexus Q to a bluetooth receiver and into an AUX port on your stereo system. Otherwise going via HDMI into a receiver allows you to get the full surround effect.
I've collected a few Q's and I'm trying to find ways to still use the stock amp via a bluetooth stream TO the Nexus Q (CM9 Nexus Quantum Singularity?) or disabling the Nexus Q app forced NFC push and enabling stock Android Beam to push songs to the Q. This works great on CM10.1 RC5 for Youtube.
Spare Nexus Q?
If anyone has forgotten about their Q and wants to forget about it on a more permanent basis, let me know as I may just be interested in helping you out with that one
They were never on sale here in the UK and I really want one for a project and for generally geeking around but have yet to be able to get hold of one for a half reasonable price.

I really love my Q Ball and have only took it out the box once or twice never seen a single movie on it yet the light show it produces really looks awesome. I would be willing to let it go for a good trade. Pm me if you ever read this and still are looking for one.
I bet that could happen to me aswell, but prolly not if i had a nexusQ.
Running raspbmc on a raspberry, witch is frequently used, as my media hub..
Would like to see more integration to android devices though.
