Hi All,

can someone please help me out with the settings for Handbrake to convert MKV to Mv4 and what the settings i have to be on to have smooth rolling video and sound. I am always getting in some kind of a mess with doing this. So far i have converted it twice and the video always has a lag. It does not sync up to the audio. Not sure if someone can post up the settings that they use for best results on the Gtab.

thanks again..

What ROM are you using? That might be your problem and not an encoding issue. I know the Froyo's are good for video but I havent heard of any Gingerbread's with a good video play back.

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.

Anyway, here is my question.

I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.

there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.

i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiN0o0:
I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:

As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Pizza67:
Hi all,

I'm trying to rebuild the kernel for LG Optimus P500 with "IP: multicast routing" and "802.1d Ethernet Bridging" enabled (both under Networking support -> Networking options").

I used the NDK r5b to recompile and I successfully flashed the kernel with the multicast routing enabled using the mik9 kernel 2.6.32.9 sources and its template (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929941), so I suppose the entire process of reconfigure/rebuild/reflash the kernel should be correct.

The problem is that if I try to enable the ethernet bridge support in the kernel (either as a module or statically) and reflash it, when I turn on my P500, it stucks on the "ANDROID" splash and reboots after a while.

Is there anybody who has experienced something like that before? Do you have any suggestion to try to figure this out?

Thanks in advance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mik_os:
You shiuld look into kernel messages (adb shellc at /proc/kmesg) and logcat (adb shell logcat) while its booting.

I can’t imagine the answer to this is going to be cheap but does anyone know how much it costs to get the mobo fixed/changed on an X10i outside of warranty? I am in the UK so would like prices from Britain but experiences from any where most welcome. Also any recommendations for a reputable repairer would be good.

At the moment I am getting only one reboot a day so I can live with that but if (when most likely) it gets worse I would like to know my options.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sven256:
If you don't mine me asking why is it outside of warranty?

As you get 2 years as standard on this handset.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Depends... In Aussie here it would cost like at least 20$ fire a phone repair, which in GB would be like at least 10 dollars. Depends if it is a software problem or hardware problem or software problem. If hardware expect around couple of hundred dollars.

I'm struggling to type accurately with both the stock keyboard and the Swype beta. Somehow the iPhone keyboard seems to be much more accurate for my typing style - possibly because the keys are smaller and have larger spaces between them?

Is there an iPhone-style keyboard available for the Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Xanaki:
You can do a Google search and find some things like what you're looking for, or you can just go to the Market theres an app called iPhone keyboard emulator
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you haven't used Swype for very long, try to give it a chance for a while. It takes some getting used to. But once you do, its far faster than hunt-and-peck typing. I can't stand the iPhone keyboard, very inaccurate, and results in many many typos for me. My wife has an iPhone, and she prefers my Swype keyboard.

Have you tried recalibrating the keyboard? This might help. Go to Settings>Language & keyboard>Touch input>Text input>Calibration tool.

Otherwise, there are a ton of alternative keyboards on the Market (some with free trials), one of them must satisfy your needs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
There are acouple paid apps on the market that emulate the iPhone keyboard while throwing in their own predictive AI. The apps that come to my mind are "Better Keyboard", "Smart Keyboard PRO", and "SwiftKey Keyboard".

All of the above are paid apps and should suit your style more than the stock android keyboard, HTC keyboard or the physical keyboard. I understand what you mean about the apple keyboard though, I found I had WAY less mistakes typing on my ex-gf's iPhone 3G than on my HTC keyboard on my old Hero, even after calibration. Swype does take alittle getting used to, I would have to admit as well.

For me, the physical keyboard beats out anything out there. I don't think i'll ever get another phone without a physical keyboard anymore!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Beagan:
smart keyboard its paid though, like 2 dollars? it has an iphone theme on it and looks just like it
[G2 and Desire Z General] I AM VS4:
If you want an iPhone keyboard you need to download "Better Keyboard 8" and download the skin "iPhone Better Keyboard Skin" For It. It won't be free unless you download "Applanet Market". But the skin should be. Good luck finding another method other than this one!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:

Lately release schedule, quality and support of Cogntion went sour. I want to try some other ROM and wondering if somebody switched from Cognition to some other ROM and still had a good quality experience.

My wishlist is very simple really:

1. I want ROM to lilst "Russian" as supported language on handset.

2. Stable ROM

3. Good battery life (don't care about overclocking and stuff like that)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
You should try them all and see which one suits you. If you want Russian language support I would recommend going to i9000 section and checking out some of those roms too. Or you could flash a different CSC file (one with Russian) with Odin. I like this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948790

Obviously, you'll have to do some heavy tweaking, but I find that starting with a good base and customizing yourself is the best way to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACDYZG:
Im gonna go ahead and suggest either firefly or serendipity
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoelParke:
For me, Continuum v4 un-themed has been the best. BUT your mileage may vary :-). I love the i9000 modem speeds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
without a doubt cyanogen mod 7. It is very stable in my opinion, battery life gets me well through the day..and it's just so fast... longest i've ever stayed on a single rom. :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokes1:
I have tried them all . I also like cog. But now i use firefly. You should give it a try u might like it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Just like others, I suggest you try them.

As for personnal opinion, I like Team Phoenix's work (FireFly being my top) but there's also A3 that is extremly stable and very stock styled.

Also Seren by MM is something you might wanna take a look at.

Then again, just my personnal opinion and I think you should try many before choosing the one that suits you the best ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Not development but if you're not falling into the 2.2.1 or cm7 crazes get andromeda. It is probably the best quality of any rom period.

Way better than cog ever was. Just swap the modem for kc1.

I also like the work from dagr8. He was an andromeda dev.

2.2.1 may benchmark faster than 2.2 but andromeda is the only captivate rom built from captivate (i9010 armani)sources that was developed by a team of devs. There was a lot of work put into it. And coming from cognition you are not loosing anything only gaining.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Time_Zone:
Dragon RC7 is also an awesome rom! I suggest Suckerpunch voodoo #12 with cfq scheduler if you go this route. I switch between the two every other day. Just can't decide which is better. Though I am bent toward andromeda.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
I've been an avid cognition user since I got my captivate. Been itching to try something else since dg is focusing more on the aspire now. (or whichever htc phone it is.)

I have been using the latest serendipity for about a week and love it. Good battery life and all the crud removed. Actually the crud removal might be too extreme so the devs have a nice tool at the site where you can get a single flashable Zip with all the stuff you do want.

I was torn between serendipity and firefly but decided on the former basically on a coin toss.

Cognition is great and I'm a little sad to see dg go to another device, but so far serendipity is an impressive replacement.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreepyKen:
I have an old-ass Mac that's too old to run Windows...so no Odin...or Android SDK for that matter (both require Intel chip). Since I can't Odin out of anything without borrowing a computer, I wanted to make my custom ROM count and not get stuck with something that didn't work.

I opted for Paragon RC6. It's rock solid. Great GPS and call volume. Gets better reception than stock Eclair (I live in the boonies, and I can make calls and access 3G from more places in my house than I could with stock jh7). It hasn't been updated since March 2 and no one knows if the dev will ever be back...but it's worth a look. I'm very happy with it and will hang onto it until the Gingerbread ROMs start dropping.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MurphyZombie:
I use to run Cognition and while I liked it, my phone did not. So I gave Firefly a try and absolutely love it! And more importantly so does my phone!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
Are any of those ROMs have Russian as input language in Swype?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I ran cognition for a while, left it for perception. Once that died, I didn't like the new cognition, so I tried FireFly. I love it so far. So easy to customize, dialers, batteries, etc. There us a built in app to download all the mods, and updates.

On a side note, asking which ROM to run on xda, is kind of like walking into a camera store and asking which is better; Nikon or Canon. You will hear a lot of personal opinions. At the end of the day its all about personal taste.

Any ROM that is being updated on a fairly regular basis (more than once a month) will be a stable, fast, great ROM.

I like FireFly in a very large part due to the aesthetics, I don't like many of the others people suggested for the same reason. For the most part, I see no performance, reliability or speed differences in any of the ROMs I have flashed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erraz:
I left cognition for serendipity
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ptaaty:
I went from Cognition to CM7 to Firefly. I tried a few others inbetween but these are the ones that had more than a week on them.

I LOVED Cog when it was really the only game in town for a Captivate ROM (built from) that was rock solid, rooted, ad hardened, etc.

CM7 has some really really good new features, but battery life and lack of full video codec (needs samsung framework) kinda killed it for me.

Firefly has been insanely good for me, really nice theming solid, can't say enough good things. Great wireless update tools built in to get latest builds, fast. Could go on and on. Really liked it with Onix kernel, great UV battery life and nice OC (easy 30%). Switched to newest speedmod kernel due to a single charge death I had with Onix, Might go back if battery life isn't better than an UV Onix. (giving a few charge cycles).

All these ROMs are great IMO. To be honest, they are all fast, stable, much better than stock. Aesthetics plays a big role, along with battery life for me. Firefly wins for me because the theming and support for things like custom dialers, battery indicators, boot screens, along with timely updates. Looks great, works great.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killershade:
I'm no expert. But I suspect that this issue could be caused by a bloatware app that is necessary for that action but was moved. Did you manually remove your bloat or did you use a ROM to do it for you?

that is possible.....I really didn't delete bloatware apps...just renamed a few.....do you know which bloatware app controls this function so I can check?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killershade:
I would THINK the safest bet for you is to back up your current apps with titanium and then back up your current ROM in nandroid and re-flash. I mean its a simple solution and requires a bit of time but unless you know exactly what you are looking for (and I am sure someone could tell you on this website) then you are more likely to cause more harm to your phone.

Sorry I can't be more help.

edit: also renamed, deleted, moved the apps. Pretty much all the same thing. The phone is looking for something and is not finding it where it should be. At least this is what I assume gleaning off the error you posted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hogowner:
I can do all that......but..even if I backup my current rom and apps with titanium.....the program that I renamed will still be there......don't think a fresh download of Perfect Storm will help..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legojj:
Hi,

I was a keen follower of the Cyanogen Nightlys. But after build 38 when my phone was idle for more the 10-20 mins, my phone display went blank and none of the buttons worked. So the only way to fix this was to reset the device by taking out the battery.

So I went back to build build 38 and restored my device with Titanium BackUp. Same thing happened (blank screen, buttons didn't work) after awhile. Then I just put build 38 with no backup, worked for awhile but after I installed an application (Whatsapp) and restored my contacts from Google, after 15 mins the screen went blank again.

So i ended up getting frustrated and decided to wipe everything (including the sd card) and put cyanogen fresh. So I plugged in my Nexus S to the computer and did a normal (FAT 32, default allocation) format. Windows then said sd card was empty but once I unplugged and checked the sd card, everything was still there. Plugged it back to the pc and and everything was still there.

Then I tried using the format storage option in settings--> storage itself, same thing happened, it said it was formatted but nothing changed on the sd card. Even tried formatting using clockwork recovery, same thing.

What makes things worse is that now every time i place something on the sd card, windows says its there, but it disappears once i unplug it. So it seems that the storage doesn't want to change anything on itself. So since the last ROM i put before the format was a fresh update of cyanogen build 38, every time i reboot my phone it runs setup wizard (asks for my google access details). And freezes every so often.

Please help, i have no idea what else to try. I was gonna used odin, but I need to buy/make the cable. So is it really necessary?

EDIT: Every time i install a new rom eg. MIUI, it says it has been installed in recovery, but cyanogen loads when i reset the phone

EDIT: I tried ODIN, it didnt worked, now it just gets stuck on the google screen. I can still enter recovery and the bootloader. But the sd card seems to be corrupt.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
What cable? Admittedly, I've not used Odin on the Nexus S, however i've used it plenty on the Galaxy S i had previously, all i ever used was the standard USB cable that came with the phone.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
I don't know that I would have use windows to format the card. I would have done the oem lock and oem unlock to clear the sdcard storage. Doing the oem unlock again totally clears the phone and then you should be starting all over from scratch like day one when you purchased the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legojj:
I tried " fastboot oem lock" and fastboot oem unlock" but everything stayed the same. And yes i agree, using windows was stupid, I really wasn't thinking properly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Ok so does the option, setting*storage*erase sd card work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legojj:
No it didn't, it says its formatted. But when i check back on the file explorer, everything is there...

Could the problem be that i choose FAT32 as the file system when formatting using windows?
