[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
I should have been more precise in my complaints, IT STUTTERS ALSO! As I said e.motes settings are not a good starting point. I know you were joking around a bit but what is the point of having a device that can display 720p native and not be able to play anything 720p without issues. Technically the truth is if the video bit rate is really low and the sound is sampled really low I can play 720p smoother, but just because it is 1280x720 doesn't really make it High Definition if it's riddled with compression artifacts, macro blocking and color-banding.

I am sure that there is no typical/optimal settings and each piece of source will have to be evaluated separately but there has to be something close. I did try to search for some of the demo video files included in the Tegra-2 demonstrations but couldn't find any through numerous Google searches. All I could find were worthless YouTube videos. If anyone has a way to get an actual MP4 demo clip we can dissect it to see how it was encoded and start from there.

I am just about ready to give up and wait for 3.2 which is rumored for the XOOM "in a few weeks." Maybe Asus will get the same update, maybe Google is hearing the complaints and streamlining their audio codecs, maybe nvidia will invest time in their kernel modules, and just maybe pigs will fly! :D:(

[RANT] Having to find this thread on page two or three every time some information is added is becoming a real PITA, why can't this be stickied as it is one of the more interesting threads on this forum and we can now un-sticky the Availability thread since the TF is now readily available through a number of channels[/RANT]
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
Tried both Waldo's and e.mote's settings, both seem to work well on my TF but the CQ level could be lower lol. I still see a bit of artifacting and color blocks throughout a sample video, maybe a 16 or 15 would be awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Just spent a bit downloading all the associated programs to go along with this "RipBot264" program that you are speaking so highly of.

Where do I put this profile into RipBot so it uses your settings?

100% unfamiliar with this program....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
Go to the RipBot directory, paste the text file in the Profiles folder. You should be seeing it when you open the program and edit settings from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Thank you Sir.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
Thanks for trying this, I find e.motes setting totally unacceptable for normal viewing and I am not going to try to tweak his settings to make it better, You may have more success than I. I will likely look at changing up some of the settings in my profile to see what must be removed to make it work better.

Just curious, I see artifacts and blocking with e.mote's settings and there is a lot of it, I only saw a moment or two of the same with my settings, is that what you are seeing? The judder on both are still unacceptable.

So here is the deal with RipBot264, it is a front end for x264 and in it's installation directory there is another directory called profiles, that is where the profiles I attached go. RB264 is not for everyone and the guy who wrote it can be a real prick if you ask for anything he doesn't deem necessary (which is almost every request). What it does is use several tools to demux each stream then creates .cmd files and shells a cmd window (hidden) to pass the parameters to x264. Then it uses mkvtoolnix or mp4box to remux everything together. It is way simpler to learn than MeGUI and if you run Windows x64 it will use the 64bit version of x264 to provide about a 10% increase in encoding speed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
There's a snag though in encoding some files with RipBot though; if I try to convert MP4 videos, the process just stops after a second and says it's finished. It seems it does not accept MP4 codecs as input. Can anyone confirm this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] buri73:
lol, all you ripbot fanbois need to get together and create your own thread. j/k :)

Waldo, I agree with what you are saying. As I have stated few times in this thread I am not satisfied with TF as a media player. However, what you are trying to accomplish just doesn't seem possible. I keep saying find a compromise as there will not be a solution until Google/Nvidia does something about it. :)

For those that are using Ripbot with emote preset getting less than satisfactory quality, you need to make some changes to the preset as that seems very basic baseline profile. If you want to stick to base profile, try higher RefFrames and subme value higher than 2 to start. You will have better success than just raising bitrate(CQ Modifier).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Umm... yea... it was freaking FAST. Encoded a Episode 720p of Game of Thrones and an episode of The Daily Show in half the time Handbrake would have taken to encode the episode of Game of Thrones.

Haven't had a chance to test it out yet though, busy rooting my friends T-Bolt at the moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
It should accept any file type Eac3To can demux. if you have a Eac3To gui of some kind use it standalone to see if the MP4 you are trying to demux is OK, I use UsEac3To.

Also make sure you are not trying to overwrite the original MP4, although RB does write all it's files to the Temp directory until it muxes them back altogether.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] junks2010:
I tried Ripbot264 as you recommended. The result seems better (less tearing) than Handbrake.

Currently I use the "[High 4.0] HD . Progressive" profile.

Do you know which settings I should change to eliminate/minimize the tearing in the video?

Thanks.

Edit:

I also tried the "[High 4.0] HD . Interlaced" profile. There is no tearing in the video but the video is "shaky/shadowy" when there are moving objects.
[Captivate General] MaxRabbit:
It took me a lot of Googling, but I finally found the fix for the annoying issue of outbound SMSs never working, even with alternatives such as ChompSMS and Handcent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Error messages that indicate this problem:​

-"Message not sent" in notification bar after attempting to send a message from the Messaging app. "Failed" listed under the message.

-"Send failed" message by ChompSMS whenever trying to send a message.

-"Message not sent" error given by Handcent.

-00 or refresh error when *#*#4636#*#* is opened from the dialer and you go into Phone information and his Refresh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Cause:​

The SIM card for the phone has a corrupted SMSC number. From Wikipedia, "A Short Message Service Center (SMSC) is a network element in the mobile telephone network which delivers SMS messages."

Or the ROM does not correctly read the data. In my case, I could not send messages even when flashed to stock.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixes:​

-Fix for Messaging app is easy. Simply open up Messaging, hit menu, and choose Settings. Change the field for "Message centre" to your carrier's number. A search on Google for the message centre for your carrier will usually give good results. A search for AT&T's revealed this page.

-Fix for ChompSMS, Handcent, and other 3rd party apps:

As these usually lack a message centre field, we must delve into the deep, dark settings of the phone. Go into the dialer of the Phone app and enter the code: *#*#INFO#*#* (synonymous with *#*#4636#*#* ). Hit Phone information. At the bottom here, you will see SMSC: and a text box. This is where the SMSC number must go.

HOWEVER, the number for the SMSC must first be in hexadecimal PDU format. To convert, take the original number (in this example, I will use AT&T's +13123149810) and put it in the conversion here. The characters you will need are the characters beginning on the second line all the way all to the pair of 11s that follow a zero.

Here are some example conversions:

+13123149810-> 07913121139418F011
+447785016005-> 079144775810065011
+4531300000-> 0691541303000011

The numbers will appear longer than this, but you just cut it off at the 011 ending.

This is the number that will go into the SMSC: field in the aforementioned steps. Then, hit update. Viola, Handcent and ChompSMS should now work just fine :)

[Captivate General] ToJa92:
Sorry to bump a thread, but my issue is relevant(and I didn't feel like PMing you, as others may benefit).

Anyway, I've had some errors with sending SMS. First time I tried this fix I thought "Great, finally I can send SMS again. Now I won't have to buy a new phone after all." Now here's my problem.

I press update next to the input field. Upon opening the testing app again it has cut-off the last two digits. I also usually need to restart after updating, then I can send a few SMS. After a while, it seems to re-read the corrupted SMS center number and it stops working again(and force me to reboot again).

Strange thing is, the encoded SMSC number is exactly as long as one of your example number. Here's the number for my SMS center: 07913121139418F011

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Oh, and this happens on the Samsung stock rom as well. So not a Cyanogenmod issue, I think.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
did you try this method first?

and in your message you say:

you put in the number BEFORE pressing update right? and what testing app?

**also if this is an error with a corrupted SMSC then it may be fixed by getting a new sim card. as the SMSC is on the sim.
[Captivate General] MaxRabbit:
What TRussello said, I think that if it keeps re-reading the wrong number you may need to visit the store for a new SIM.
[Captivate General] ToJa92:
Well, I assumed it was a corrupt SIM-card since that's what the cause is according to the original post. Seems unlikely however, as other phones(like my old Symbian phone) reads the number just fine.

Entering *#*#4636#*#* starts a "Testing" app, according to the recent app run list in both TouchWiz and Cyanogenmod.

The strange thing is that it does already show the correct number in the SMS app. In the field where I'm to input the converted number(the "Testing" app) it's always empty upon start. And yeah, I'm entering the number before pressing update.

The SIM card is only about a half year old so I don't think that's it.

Might be some strange Android bug, but I've never seen anyone else with issues like this.

EDIT: Did away with the stock SMS app, downloaded GO SMS and set the SMS center manually. Then activated the mode where GO SMS retrieves my SMS(if the stock app is removed). Working like a champ, so far.
[Captivate General] craagz:
Maybe mention that it needs a restart before it starts working!! (did not work before restart)

I did this with Vodafone India number and my smsc converted to pdu ended in '411' (079119895800454411), so it is not restricted to 011.

Thanks a lot for this effort in putting together this information

Well I recently bought a nexus s from a member here on the forums. It seems like the sim card tray is faulty and I need it to be replaced by Samsung.

Hi

Rooted my using ace-hack-kit-v11 Inspire 4G root and now my wifi does not work.

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet over my home wifi. It connects to my home network, but cannot open any internet sites or apps on my phone. My signal is good (I'm in the same room with the router). I have other devices including two laptops and an Ipod touch that can access the internet fine through the wifi.

[General Questions and Answers] Escaladez2:
CVS has some super cheap tablets like the Craig and one from Sylvania, both can be had for around $75-$80 with coupon. The Sylvania one has HDMI, USB host, microSD and an ARM11 1Ghz processor in it and a rubberized back. Not too shabby in my opinion. However it only has 256mb RAM and a resistive touchscreen.

Regardless, I've seen the nook color join the ranks here, so I know people here like low cost tablets. And its almost cheap enough to almost be disposable, so hacks and mods would be less risky and they could be applied in more hazardous/embedded applications like home automation or automotive use.

Here is a review some dude made on youtube of the Sylvania:

This is the first run "TEST" of the CM7.1 Android 2.3.4.

FIRST OFF FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM IN NOW WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE THEFT BRICKING OF OR TO YOUR DEVICE.

I am not a professional dev like most of your favs. I just like to make my own roms, and just happened to think would be nice to release.

This is based off the CM7.1 Android 2.3.4 build thats been in the making. It does not have the Video GTalk. That will have to come later. But this is VERY fast and VERY smooth IMHO.

I loaded this over RoyalGinger and all it did was speed it up a lil bit.

Loaded clean and works flawless. I saw no issues. If you find any please let me know and if it's in my power i will fix it.

Whats Working:

WIFI

BT

Phone Calls "CLEAR"

Camera

WIFI Calling

Torch.

Not Working:

haven't found anything as of yet.
