old dog meet some new tricks. Some apps don't do well from the Playstore, but not bad for Android 4.3

I haven't touched another dap since routing this. V4A plus Neutron/Peq or UAPP/Peq sounds incredible. Enjoying it far more than the M15 I got at the same time. Next steps will be looking into hardware mods.

Any of the rooted folks seeing battery oddities? I have noticed mine does a massive drop off after charging, but finally goes to sleep in the high 80%. I have rebooted a few time, but i am open to ideas if anyone has seen this..

Not noticed anything, but now your rooted you can calibrate the battery properly by deleting the learnt stats from system and starting fresh.

I'll send over some app recommendations later to save you wading through a load of rubbish/ads/crapware etc.

Hi guys. I picked up the AR M2 today. Pretty blown away by the sound quality. I rooted and added the Play Store etc. Everything ran super smooth. The device also boots faster and is a bit snappier over stock.

Question: Does anyone know how I can load Roon? There's no Jelly Bean version of Roon. I'm wondering if someone knows if it's possible modify the apk or some other voodoo to load it.

p.s. glad your liking the ARM2 and root/playstore, the sound is amazing on this dap. Speed can be tweaked even further. I think i have 60% of the orginal system removed on mine.

Thanks. SQ is truly superb :) How can I speed it up? Edit: I prefer the sound of my 800S out the M2 over my Airist R2R and 789..
