[Nexus S Android Development] tsunami1609:
I understand how the codecs are installed at the rom level, but do we really have to use his player with the rom. Couldn't we use another player like moboplayer.

The reason I ask is because my friends Vibrant is running 2.2 with TouchWiz and TW has the same codec support. While it does come with it's own video player Moboplayer works on it fine as well. And mobo is the only one I've seen so far that can read embedded subtitles (plus the interface is so clean). Made me really pissed that touchwiz had something over stock other than the music player, but I know that's gonna change soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] tsunami1609:
Also, I don't wanna be "that guy" but can we expect an updated Ho rom with 2.3.4 anytime in the near future?
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
actually you have point if its tied into the system then other players should play in hardware especially the video stock player but they dont.

His player only seems to take advantage of these codecs

I have no clue what he did im not developer but it works

Only problem is video player has issues not to mention the app privileges are very shady for a media player.

I would love to get these to work with stock/mobo player
[Nexus S Android Development] ajftl:
Would this play MOV files straight up from a gmail or do I have to download video then play with player?

[Nexus S Android Development] AllGamer:
looking forward for a 2.3.4 stock compatible version :D
[Nexus S Android Development] forgetmyname:
Is nobody other than me worried that the codecs are loaded via module into the kernel instead of a library? This is rather unusual, not to put too fine a point on it!

If I misunderstood, and these are loaded in a library, then please someone comment and correct me.

...........................
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
are you trying to bump?

dont bother with these shady roms and video player

go download dice player its not tied down to one rom supports more codecs with hardware doesn't have unusual permissions and it has more features than this crap player including the option to fix video aspect ratio
[Nexus S Android Development] jorking:
Does anyone has succeeded in porting this codecs to any other third party ROM(CM7,MIUI,etc)?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Didn't you read the previous pages?

Might actually be spyware or something, someone also recommended a video player, you could try that one.
[Nexus S Android Development] jkhrist:
Just use dice player. It is hardware accelerated and plays mkv files
[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Agree. Use DicePlayer on the market.
[Nexus S Android Development] minori_aoi:
I use mobo player, but it still slow to play my 480p 2000kbps mp4 file. using dice player solve the problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
Mobo and most other are not true hardware accelerated player like they advertise. They can only do hardware for codecs that are already supported by rom and stock player can play these also. They will play other codecs not supported by default but only with software and results in lower quality and poor performance

Dice player still only player that adds codecs with hardware support.
[Nexus S Android Development] cdanisor:
Is this ROM for slutty girls or why the "Ho Enhancement" ? :))

PS: The Best player i found on the market is QQPlayer better then Mobo and Dice
[Nexus S Android Development] minori_aoi:
Mobo has nice interface, Dice has hardware acceleration, is QQ have both ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Lxus:
BSPlayer is my fav. Fully hw accelerated (mkv, mp4 720p content etc.), innovativ controls during videoplay (like sliding up your finger on the left side of the screen controls the brightnes), plays every subtitles, many control options and features like lan play.

And the best part of it that its free with no ads! So better then dice for me.

Never would install a rom for just some codecs..
[Nexus S Android Development] genez81:
you can also try MX Video Player with the add-on package for ARMv7.

it's on the official market, it's free and it works flawlessly with many formats and containers (it uses ffmpeg).

I can watch 720p mkv without any stuttering, BUT I have some stutters with bick buck bunny mkv 1080p (it's watchable, anyway)

I don't like to install shady apps o ROMs just to have some codecs
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
you using this with 4.0.3? i want to test but when i install it doesn't show in apps

mxplayer isnt really hardware player it dont add audio and video codecs with hardware supports

it only plays hardware with codecs already supported by OS and stock player can play these already
[Nexus S Android Development] Lxus:
nope sry, still on GB
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
thanks yea and my mistake also i downloaded arm7 codec only because it didnt did say that was codec in title plus i read it real quick. but yea doesn't display properly on IC

ill keep an eye for IC supports i want to compaire to dice

i bought diceplayer when it sfirst came out but this a good alternative since its free and if its acutally like dice true hardware and not harware just for codecs already supported by OS like other players that devs miss advertise.

And when you play popular mkv files they will play with these players and stock but will not have audio

so this is actual hardware like diceplayer?

if so sweet because i was surprised how many devs miss advertised their players as hardware players when in fact they were not
[Nexus S Android Development] Lxus:
Yes it's true hardware and u can switch between these two hw decode modes. The first one which uses the system supports like any other player and the second one with native hardware decode like dice as you can see on the screenshot :)

So its not supported by 4.0.3 yet? Another reason for me for wait for ICS upgrade..

blablabla nexus s blabla xda app
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
You can switch between hardware and sofware on these miss adveritesed players also but will only play hardware with codecs already by default os. If you try to play in hardware with codec not supported by default is it will say cannot play file or unsupported file. Dice player adds codecs that default doesnt have and plays with hardware support

Anyways I'll test when its out...its been almost a year notlw and I haven't seen any true hardware decode players other than dice
[Nexus S Android Development] Lxus:
Yeah, already tried a lot of players in order to playback my mkv's hw accl. and bs and dice were the only ones.

Ok, hope they'll update the player soon..

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Stephenv1971:
Few will notice but does not install properly on continuum 5 rc2. By default continuum only has 6mb available in /system. I had to move samsung apps to /data and delete google maps and youtube. It installs properly after doing this. Unfortunately it drops bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip.zip (19 mb!) in /system/media. sanim.zip.zip also needs renamed to sanim.zip in order to work correctly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll remove the boot animations for the time being.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
Updated Continuum port to RC3. Apex port done but minor issue with extended power menu needing to be fixed before release. On an unrelated note I soft bricked about 5 times trying to fix the home haptic feedback. amazing...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weymouthstan:
Root it with Gingerbreak, then use Link2SD, free from the Market. It's basically Apps2SD+, and moves the entirety of the app to the SD.

I've got 60 apps installed and 200mb free.

Everything's dandy, even on a crappy class 6 SD card.

Took me 5 mins in total.

I've got a Neo, but same applies to Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarbonX13:
The Xperia Arc has 1GB internal storage, however only around 300MB is actually usable. Even if you move your apps to your SD card, it will still leave traces of it on the internal memory, and thus will take up space on both your SD card and the very limited internal storage of the Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobfest:
love the phone but internal memory issues

I want to upgrade from galaxy S to SII, but whats holding me back is this lucrative looking beast, design and screen is simply tempting. One worry. Compared to galaxy's gigantic internal memory this beast rests in denial. Like how to manage the android OS with so less internal memory, Os is demanding.

Is there any safe work around to manage the freekiing features and independencies of the OS. I am in love with android & some how I get apps that boosts my daily life, so I use a lot of apps. Plz guide me if I can look for owning Arc. Howz the battery life, will it live upto a day (1.5hrs of music, 15mins of video, 1.5-2 hrs of calling, 45 mins browsing & always online on native Gtalk and Nimbuzz). Plz reply soon I am out of droids now.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthik.chopper:
i think with the 2.3.3 update it should leave you with more than 50-60 % charge. It also depends on the data usage (Wifi or 3g or 2g). I easily do about 2.3 hours of music 3 mins of vids watching, atleast 30 mins of gaming(2d or 3d-hd), 1 hour of talking and checking mails via 3g and from morning 6 am to night 10 pm i usually have more than 60% charge left.

Then again it differs from day to day. User to User

But What about internal memory

Friends you didn't comment on the internal memory handling. Are the apps lagging on day to day use. Plz let me know.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
I did experience lagging. But then, I upgraded to 2.3.3 and then factory reset.

then it runs fast.

I think the RAM is too low compared to other smartphone. My Desire Z, it has only 800 MHz processor, but it has 768 RAM and 1 GB internal storage.

The more you install app, the more it consumes RAM. You should maintain free RAM at least 40% to avoid lagging. So, you have to move apps to SD, but the problem is that not all apps can be moved to SD.

Is there any way to move "all apps" to SD (not just few apps)?

So we have been blessed with android for almost 3 years now. Out of all the different treats Google has cooked up for us which one has been your favorite and why?

Froyo

I started with Froyo as my first Android OS and I loved it coming from Blackberry. Well since GB came out I figured I would give it a try since i've heard alot of good things about it... I've tried it a couple of times now but in the end I always go back to Froyo (mysense).. I know alot of people say it's heavy and slow but the setup I've got thanks to the Royal team it seems no slower than any GB rom i've tried... I like GB ok, if i do decide to stick with GB as my daily driver it will probably be Royal Ginger I really like what they've done with that one...

Eclair was a HUGE improvement over 1.x. Froyo was a big improvement over Eclair.

No problems here with alarm for me. Plays system alarms and music stored on internal or external. It werks tho so just reflash the ROM and ur golden a re-download probably wouldn't hurt either. Or you can try to reinstall the app. Use root explorer to sort to /system/app/ClockPackage.apk click it and install. If that doesnt work replace the .apk completely. I'd use the one from the Malice.zip but whatever werks. Good luck!:)

Or as stated you can just get another one from the market! You got mad options bro!
