New 5th Gen Fire Sound Question

I'm building a couple Kindle Fire's into the walls in my kids rooms to serve as a media player, task manager, alarm clock, etc. I was using a cheap android tablet from Amazon, but one of them had a software problem and when I returned it I saw these new Kindles for so just bought them, thinking it would be perfect.

They are not--but that is another story.

I have got the ABD drivers installed and am using the Google Play store, which solved about 60 percent of my frustration. Still waiting on Widget support, which I understand may come in time when the device is further opened up.

But right now I'm just looking for what seems like a simple issue, but I just can't find the answer.

I have the device running to a pair of speakers through the headphone jack--because my kids are heavy sleepers they need the amplified power from outboard speakers to wake them up.

But, the alarm only seems to come from the onboard speaker, which isn't very loud from across the room. I see the Kindle has a seperate volume control for media and system sounds, then I found further that if you go into Alarm:settings there is yet another volume setting for just the alarm, but no way to output it into the headphone jack.

I briefly flirted with using the alarm on Pandora to wake them with music, but that just doesn't seem reliable--when I tested it the alarm wouldn't function if the lock screen was triggered.

Any solutions anyone is aware of?

Wireless Charging Question

I have one of those cases that holds credit cards using a sliding door on the back. I laid my Note 5 on my Qi Charger today and surprisingly it was actually charging. I was pretty surprised, being that there were 3 credit cards and a case in between the charger and phone itself.

My question is, will this effect the credit cards in any way? Will it cause the cards to not be able to swipe in any way? What kind of damage can be done to the cards?

Thanks in advance.

On a side note, I use the MST on the phone to pay for groceries at Vons today. Worked like a charm.

Verizon Galaxy S3 4.4.2 Rooted Custom Recovery Question

Looked through google, looked through threads, can find nothing whatsoever to help.

Have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III Unlocked running Straight Talk VIA sim card. Everything works.. as a regular old phone with root. (rooted with Kingoroot - basically I googled "root galaxy s3" and followed those steps.. that much works fine, though it is not to be confused with the chinese king root. I tried the trick of swapping out king root for SU and, well.. yeah didnt work.)
Problem is I'm running 4.4.2 (the dreaded locked bootloader) and everything I try when it comes to installing custom recovery either doesn't work, bootloops the phone, or hard bricks it. v_v
so as someone who backs up their backups, (thank you OCD fairy), running around with a phone I can't backup puts me on edge, to say the least.
tried safestrap (says not secured. still says not secured after install. does nothing.)
tried various CWM and TWRP via apk installs (whatever that app is you install then tell it to install cwm) ..wouldn't install
Odin, depending on which version I install, either gives me errors or hardbricks my device.
SO.. I'm looking for someone who has a Verizon Galaxy S III and who has a custom recovery on it to tell me how the devil they managed that one.

Cheers all!!

Screen Flicker (PWM) question

Hi

My eyes are kind of damaged and I need to know if the Nexus 6P phone screen uses PWM for backlight dimming. Majority of people never notice it but I'd say 5% of people have issues caused by it (headache, migraines, seizures, etc.) Kind of like the CRT flicker but in modern LED backlit devices.

To test use a high end camera/DSLR with adjustable shutter speed and look for black lines on the phone screen when adjusting the camera's shutter speed.

Info about PWM: tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation.htm

Thanks

leanKernel question. Since I'm new, it wont let me post in the dev thread.

Hi all,

So I want to install leanKernel on my Nexus 6 so I can undervolt it, and I don't know which version to go with.

I have stock Android 5.1.1, and stock kernel.

Which version do I flash? lk_shamu_m-v3.0.zip or lk_shamu_lp-v2.14cm.zip, or lk_shamu_lp-v2.14.zip

I checked the FAQ and it doesn't have the info I am looking for. Moreover 3.0 isn't even mentioned.

I assume CM ys for CyanogenMod? But that still leaves me with 2 options.

Thanks guys!

Question about a Elephone s2 plus GTP adb tool.

Hello Xda and all orthers.

I've got a rpoblem/question which Elephone is refusing to answer for couple of weeks,
I've upgraded my TP firmware in this phone however the touchscreen doesnt seems to be work ok such like the touchscreen was rotated 180 somehow but he screen was on the place,
Example when you pull the notification bar down for normal you need to pull it of the edge of the screen right ?
but now after the firmware upgrade i need to pull it from the middle of the screen inorder to pull the notification bar down.
So i asked Elephone the stock/orginal TP firmware after few days i did get the file but when i want to flash the tool is telling me that i already have the newest TP firmware already installed ? So my question is how do i remove the old TP firmware inorder to flash the stock TP firmware ?
I've took also a video from the problem there seems to be not a problem whit the screen/touch self.
i already format+flash the rom no succes same problem

The TP firmware topic : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-8024-1...l#.ViYU_X7hDcc
Video of the problem : https://youtu.be/TEdx2ma9-Vg

I hope we/i can fix this problem so i can resume to use the phone again,
Thanks and have a nice day.

Update to new ROM Question

All,

I have rooted my Sprint S6 Edge running Android Version 5.0.2.

I would like to install a custom rom however it appears you need to be on 5.1.1 to install any of the newer ROM's. I was looking to flash XtreStoLite Odexed Pure ROM.

However, I'm open to any ROM that I can run smoothly and remove most of this bloatware. I'm experiencing significant performance decrease as of late.

If this question has already been ask please just point me to the thread. I did a search on the site but couldn't find a specific answer to my question.

Thanks for all responses.

ADB Question

Hi All,
I was reading up on ADB and I noticed that the one thing most people complained about was not being able to find the platforms-tolls in the install directory. I was trying to search for the answer for the fun of it, but I give up. Any Suggestions?:)

question about charger

Hi guys,
I want to buy a extra charger for my 6P at work. I am wondering what specs should I be looking for for the quick charging capability? The google store has one that is 15W and another one that is higher. I don't know which one to choose, also, I want to see if I can buy any 3rd party one from Amazon that can give me quick charging.
Thanks!
