im tired of the same old boring cm7 lockscreen, i want something new, but is pretty much all the same, sliders side to side or upside down, and such, im in the look for something like the Samsung galaxy x lockscreen that looks like you are turning a book page, or something different, any ideas? I've been looking but no luck.

Liquidvillian rom for sure is one of the coolest lockscreens.. or miui, I use miui mostly for the lockscreen.. but still the "up and down" slide you refer too.. still mixes it up a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] juanshop:
Yeah liquidvillian lockscreen is awesome and that's something like I want, and miui is cool too and differs from the ordinary, but I could never get the lockscreen working it kept the normal lockscreen
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shady503403:
Liquidvillian is nice but pointless for all the pages cause widgets you can't fully utilize.. and idk anyone that wants 5 screens for their lockscreen.. just different I guess. If your talkin about miui 2.3 then update to the latest build by g4rb4g3 and it should have the latest miui lock screen. I just came from that rom..

What would be the best settings to format movies for playing on the thunderbolt, and what file format would be best.
[Thunderbolt General] Yconhack:
Formating movies for the Thunderbolt.

I use DVD Decrypter to decrypt DVDs (from redbox for ex :D). Then I use Handbrake with default "normal" settings from the classic preset menu.

My movies come out very clean, look beautiful, and I have yet to have a issue playing them.

Hope this helps
[Nook Color General] THRiLL KiLL:
time for another round of noob questions :eek:

I have been tossing back and forth the idea of getting a nook color and a archos 70 it.

both are in the price range that i want 250 to 300.

both have a large following and have good community support , but after my experience with my hd2, i am leaning towards the nook color, as xda is developing for it :D

I am planning on running android 3.0

mostly i want to use this for video playback and lite internet useage.

now here is my question:

for video playback on the nook color, will i have to convert the video to a specific size / format? or is there a player /w codecs that will allow me to watch videos with out that step (i think the archos has this)

If so, what program can i use?

thanks!
[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
You won't be able to playback anything 720p.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
There are some video player (i use mobo player) that play sd video fine. There is no HW acceleration for anything else than mp4, it use the CPU. So I think HD is prohibited (didn't try)

About android 3, i think you can forget it until google release the source code.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
I have used a program called DVD Catalyst 4 to rip my DVDs into a format that's suitable for viewing on the Nook Color. Program is great in that it comes with pre-defined settings for the Nook Color (as well as a bunch of other Android devices). It's also a steal at $9.95.

http://www.tools4movies.com/

So far it's handled almost everything I've thrown at it like a champ. I've done about 140 GB or movies so far (about 90 to 100). They play and look great on the Nook Color.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
I use handbrake to convert for the Nook. The iPod touch preset works great.

With that said, hardware acceleration only works for the stock and Froyo ROMs. Honeycomb does not support anything above CPU decoded divx.
[Nook Color General] LongbowFoSho:
Does that convert from MKV to Nook? I have a TON of MKV's that I'd like to use.
[Nook Color General] jinp6301:
or you can use handbrake. google "handbrake nook color" for instructions
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
To be clear, mkv is a container format that can be played using third party apps like moboplayer on the nook just fine, its just that the encoding of the video within the container must be within the confines of what the nook can handle reliably. So you could encode a video in h.264 baseline at a resoultion below 854x480 pixels and wrap it in mkv format and it will play fine in apps that support mkv on android.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question.
[Nook Color General] tomic22:
I Do! ;)

DVD Catalyst 4 converts your DVDs (original, iso and folders) as

well as all common video files, including MKV, MPG, VOB, MP4,

AVI, DIVX, XVID and more, without the need to install additional

software. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] THRiLL KiLL:
thread necromancy.

I just got my nook color 2 days ago ( i ended up getting a g tablet, and i just got rid of it)

Rock Player Lite will play any videos with out having to convert them :)
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
I thought they'd implemented Hardware Video Acceleration in CM7. Am I wrong about this?
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Yes, a lot has happened to CM7 since March 28th when puffy posted that response.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Good to hear.

So is it buttery smooth playback for preperly formatted MP4 files, like the stock 1.1.0 Nook Color?

I'm interested in CM7 and will probably start using it (maybe the Phiremod version) once the sleep issue is fully resolved for a stable relase.
[Nook Color General] angomy:
Yes. I've got 854x480 (max size for NC) videos encoded @ combined audio/video bitrate of ~1780 kbps running fullscreen with no issues at all.

[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
Well I took the plunge and ordered the crystal shell. I really wanted a clear plastic casing for the Xoom that actually shows how the Xoom looks like from behind.

It should prevent scratches and bumps to the Xoom itself but it may not save the Xoom from hard impacts and falls. Oh well gotta compromise.
[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
Just a bump up.

Boxwave has added more cases for the Xoom. Though it seems like many are just rehashes of the ipad cases.

I've heard mixed reviews on their service and my Crystal Shell case was delayed in shipping, but at least the customer service officer did apologize in an email. Now it's on its way to me.

[Atrix 4G General] relaxed:
No, the multimedia player sends a 720p signal to the tv. So while you can play 1080p using hdmi out, it's scaled to 720p.

mmm so this should be updated? or its a never will change lol, always wil be 720? or should be updated when the phone gets update

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBeefy84532:
I've been having an issue with my ringer since the upgrade. It seems to be weaker than it was before the update, and this is a big issue for me. I leave my ringer on vibrate because of school or work, and it's so weak that I cannot feel it in my case. This has rendered my phone almost useless.

My question is, is there any way to increase the intensity of the vibration ringer? I don't care if I need to root or anything like that, I just want to be able to do it. I know if there is anyone that can help me this is the place. Also I'm on the stock rom, not rooted. Thank You guys.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this. I took it to a sprint store, and the rep swore that his was the same on his phone. If they can do it with an update, there has to be some way to do it manually? Any help would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roly.Poly:
Same here, it seems like right after I upgraded to EC05, the vibration module switched to a different one.... It's like the phone has 2 different vibrating mechanisms.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preston411:
Add me to the mix. I'm sitting at my work desk right now and have the intensity on max... I just missed a text and its sitting right in front of me. I used to have it to about 75% and was fine. Darn update!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBeefy84532:
So, shortly after typing my last post, my phone had a meltdown. Everything force closed, if I tried to swipe screens too fast it would vibrate and then reset itself for about an hour, nothing would load, the dialer froze up when I received calls, text didn't go through, etc. I took it to a Sprint store, and the tech eventually gave me a brand new phone. I took it home and installed the update, without a hitch. Everything works fine.

And guess what? The vibrate is just as strong as it was pre-update. I'm thinking this is an issue with only some of the updates?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGkthxbai:
Excuse me for my ignorance, but wouldn't the vibration intensity have more to do with wear over time than updates?

I assume that the vibration intensity, if identified as a software issue, could be updated and integrated with developer roms.

Granted, I have noticed the weak vibration on my epic, but this is something I noticed from the beginning and chalked up to dampening from the slider mechanism. If the phone has a case, it would also reduce the vibration in conjunction with a slider mechanism.

I have had a few slider phones (HTC Mogul, Palm Pre) and each has has significant loss of vibration due to a split body dampening the vibration. Of course these are only my observations with products and reflect in no way a professional or coherent opinion.

I then flashed attn1stock Rom, while I read up on which Rom to try out. Capys kingdom Rom looks great but holding off as he works his magic
[HTC Inspire 4G] guy4even:
I used Bubby's 1 click and it is very very easy. All the instructions are clearly detailed out and just follow them to the word. It takes less than 20 mins including formatting the sd card and the gold card creation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] webtop:
Disabling your anti-virus software is ESSENTIAL. If you don't, your AV will detect the rage file as a trojan and delete it. That means it will not get pushed to the phone and you will not have root access.

I learned that the hard way ;0)

Also, if you don't like to use the phone terminal app, you can get a copy of droid explorer and use the console in that app. You don't need to disconnect anything as it will use another copy of adb to access your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
The newest hack kit is easier then ever, I rooted an inspire in 10 mins. No problems
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Dude if you're afraid of the hack kit, what's the point in rooting?

If you don't really want to learn adb and basic commands to push files to your phone, then keep it stock and under warranty.

Rooting isn't for everyone, with att it was almost necessary to be able to sideload apps, but that's no more since att got with the program.

I guess all I'm saying is that if you want an easy root, buy a nexus device. For every other device, there is some basic knowledge you MUST have first. Fortunately that's all in the inspire developer forum.

Read!!!!!! Then read some more...

The easiest way will not teach a newbie any of the real benefits of having root. Learn as much as you can, see if its right for you, then make a decision.

I'm not discouraging anyone by any means, I'm just trying to cut down on these pointless threads.

With soooooo many people and their grandmothers rooted now between bubbys and attn1s methods, these threads shouldn't exist unless the hack kit or super one click summons the dark lord chthulu in your basement...
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
The Hack Kit really is as easy as this...with bubby's method, you have to type in commands in terminal, format your sd card...etc.

Hack kit....no format, copy and paste...send an email...and then type in numbers 1, 2 and 3.
[HTC Inspire 4G] h-visual:
I did it with Bubby's method. I had errors in the terminal commands with the AceHack method. Dont skimp on the microSD card, get a high quality one. I had trouble with the stupid HP brand card while making the goldcard, it kept corrupting when I changed it from USB mode to charge only. Had to find a HP format tool to format it which took hours to do! After that its fine, just make sure you have plenty of time and do not rush.

You CAN rename a backup made with Amon Ra, but it has to be in a certain format. What I do is put a .txt file in the backup folder describing my setup. If I need to restore, I just move the file or delete it. I wouldn't do that if you don't have an adapter to access your SD card from a computer, in case your phone won't boot.

Do a quick search & you'll come up with the format, I've seen it on here before. No special characters are allowed in the file name, I know that much.
