[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
Isn't Phiremod just a modded CM7? CM7 suppports hardware decoding, for up to 480p files (max 854x480). Anything beyond that will be soft decoded. Anything that isn't expressly supported by Nook's "supported" video/audio formats are, afaik, also software decoded (the base player will not do this, need something like vitalplayer or rockplayer, etc.)

- If a video is just not a supported format but is 480p and under, it runs very smoothly for me in CM7 as software decoded -- you wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't hardware accelerated.

- If a video is higher than 480p (720p, etc) or the bitrate is too high, even if it is the supported format, it will also attempt to be software decoded. My experience with this is that it's poor quality (stutters, audio desync a lot of times, etc.)

MP4 container, H.264 baseline codec for video conversion. Anamorphic loose, 854x480. AAC / MP3 (I forget what else is supported) codecs for audio, choose 44.1 khz sampling rate instead of 48khz to avoid problems. Bitrate for video and audio are up to you, but I wouldn't use the lossless setting for H.264 because you'll have issues with it playing (and will be an enormous file). You also really don't need to use it for a 7" screen. For me, video bitrate of 800 kbps (avg) is low but acceptable, 1100 for medium, 1500 is (non-HD) dvd quality. 128-160 kbps audio, your choice.

There's a lot of players out on the market, many free. I like Vital Player Neon a lot but the paid app version failed on me because of their self-copy protection. I use Moboplayer and also installed the Neon codec from the dev's website, it improved my performance noticeably on some more system-intensive videos.

As always, YMMV.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
Is the <-> (vs >-<, etc options) not working for you to expand it to full screen? I have not had any issues getting 480p content to edge-to-edge (provided it's 16:9 aspect ratio, which many shows and movies are. While Nook's resolution isn't true 16:9 it's close enough that you won't notice any real edge). The only videos that display with bars for me are the wider aspect ratio ones.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagi603:
(On stock rooted firmware, with 1.1Ghz OC)

I also use handbrake... encoding to 1024x576 xvid seems to do the trick with mobo player. (Altough so far I tried only one video file.)

edit: tried an other one, plays almost perfectly in sync. It is about 1 frame out-of-sync that can only be noticed with hard, fast sounds like slapping.

Encoding to h264 with the said resolution results in video being played back slower and of course audio being out of sync.

480p h264 baseline / aac mp4 files can be hardware decoded and play nice, but I'm all for the bigger resolution.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN1:
The ones I did were not in 16:9 aspect ratio, they were 4:3 which is why I believe I could not expand them to full screen. I haven't yet tried a 16:9 video like a movie but will soon.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
in addition to the formats/resoluton mentioned try using Vital Player Neon - works with a lot of formats - plays really smooth on my NC (CM7 7.02+1.3GHzOC)

[EVO 4G General] abiezer:
Well, I have a weird problem I have never seen before. My notification bar area has lost touchability. I know, this sounds weird. In other terms, I have lost the touch function of the top ~1 cm of the screen.

I have tried wiping everything possible, changing roms, kernels, recoverys; nothing helps. I have officially given up on making the top bar work. Oh and I might note that I am out of warranty and Sprint will not help.

So now, here comes my question: Is there any app that lets me perform a gesture while inside any app to open my notification bar? Something similar to wave launcher but for opening the notification bar.
[EVO 4G General] nivron:
If you are on CM7, you can use the Tablet Tweaks under Cyanogenmod Settings to move the status bar to the bottom -- then you can swipe it from there.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
So part of your screen failed...get it fixed... better than a workaround
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Why are you out of warranty? They know you're rooted? You should have a 1-year manufacturer warranty from HTC.

Also, if you use 3rd party launchers such as ADW and LauncherPro, you can change your swype down gesture. For example, you can make a swype down on the homescreen open the notification drawer.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
If you've taken it to Sprint & they've refused to fix it, try a different store. Unroot first, of course.

You could always flip the phone to landscape and pull it down from there. I hate auto-rotate, but that's just me.

Also, in slightly older versions of MIUI, the "recent apps" window was part of the notification area. I really liked being able to long-press the home button, then swipe left/right to get to notifications/toggles. It was especially handy in an app where the notification bar is automatically hidden. I believe the last build to include this was 1.4.8, everything since has a separate window for recent apps. If you like MIUI, you could try 1.4.8 or before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pickles319:
The title explains it. Whenever I open up my hardware keyboard in WM and in Android, the screen freezes. The functions of the phone still work, but the screen is stuck in portrait mode with no changes as i use the keyboard. When I close the keyboard, it returns to normal with whatever I had typed in showing up on the screen. However, the screen works fine if the keyboard is part/almost all of the way out and sometimes when tilted. There is only an issue when the slider is in the full-out position.

It was working totally fine until I flashed Jackos EVO Full 1.2.0 (5/1/11). I proceeded to do a Task 29 and flashed the Apr. 26 Energy Cookie v2.0 29020 and the problem persists.

In addition with Android, I have tried nearly every version of it (both system.ext2 and CWM) with the same results. However, in Android, the screen glitches and 5-10 pixel wide vertical lines with the correct image appear on it.

Please help! :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eddiert:
Did you find any solution with this? I am experiencing the same issue. If the keyboard is open the screen stops updating. If I slide the keyboard in the slightest amount the screen begins to work again. I haven't done any software changes and I am still running the stock 2.0 ATT rom. Same as you whatever I have typed or done while the screen was frozen updates as soon as I close the keyboard.

I suspect that there is something broken in the phone like a cable. Just trying to get some ideas of what part I might need to buy and how to change it.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
It sounds like the keyboard ribbon cable is not properly seated. This would cause the lockup when it is fully extended in the keyboard.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
I am of the opinion that when I have chosen three apps in the dock, it is unnecessary that those apps appear in the drawer app as well. Is there a way to get them to like Samsung have done?
[HTC Sensation] MattMJB0188:
I have read several rumors that the Sensation will come to T-Mobile USA June 8th. That rumor was back in early April. Getting a little worried because there have been no rumors/or any news on this phone for folks in the United States. I really can't wait to get my hands on this phone. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

[Defy General] rachit2588:
i think our forum is so much jumbled and crowded with soo much great stuffs :)

please i would like to request something to pick up for flashing and other questions . i am finding difficulty in initializing my research on my defy ;)

Requesting your co operation to link up some threads in proper order to work with and start from some sort of START / FIRST READ ME GUIDE

sorry for the request its just i dont like my defy to get bricked (soft or hard).

Thank you
[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
Just a question: which version of Android is your Defy running? I know most Defys run Eclair, but some are already being sold with Froyo installed. This affects directly on the flashing process: if you have Eclair, you have to make a special kind of backup. You know, custom firmwares void your warranty.

If your Defy has Froyo and you flash another Froyo ROM (or CM7, which is Gingerbread), you can easily switch back to your stock firmware if you need to send your device to repair. If your stock ROM is Eclair, and you flash Froyo or Gingerbread, without the special backup, you won't be able to downgrade.

IMO this is a good place to start. Waiting for your reply in order to send further instructions.
[Defy General] RuDe..:
Iam also having the same problem. I bought mine two days ago.. And I don't know where to start from..

My defy has eclair.. And I bought it in india.. So I should backup first?

[Defy General] Zach21:
Thanks!

A question about that:

I have a new defy with OTA froyo update from T-Mobile USA. If I want another froyo rom, do I need to flash the sbf/firmware, or can I just do a nandroid recovery of the new rom with clockworkmod?
[Defy General] stewi21:
If you flash a new sbf without a wipe, you will keep all your apps etc, whereas you'll have to back everything up and reinstall if u do a nandroid. i recommend backing up either way.
[Defy General] Zach21:
Thanks!

I don't really have anything on this phone to keep since its new, data and apps can be wiped out completely.

I do want to get rid of the motoblur apps.

So this is what I plan on:

Root (already done)

Install CWM

Backup my existing rom on sdcard

Copy new rom to sdcard

Flash new rom with CWM

Say goodbye to Motoblur

I imagine I will need to do a couple of data wipes in the process. I assume before backup and before flashing.

Will this work? Motoblur gone for good?

Update:

WORKS

I highly recommend JBoogie3 roms. Quick and easy.

I just flashed this over bnw 1.3b, 1% battery works great but now the status bar turns grey in a lot of apps, including xda. Is this normal/ part of the semi transparent notification bar? I also get a transparent notification bar on my lockscreen (widgetlocker) which I don't mind as much. Just wanted to know if it was part of the theme or not.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
I can't replicate a grey status bar, as shown in the screens. Are you using a themed xda app? Maybe GreyBlur has it themed, I don't know?

EDIT: I see what you mean in Market. Guess I'll ditch the transparency in the status bar down to the background.

if u see the scrollbars in apps that have a dark/black background... the scroll bar is just a thin line of greyish colour... if u see the same thing with an app of white background... it looks like the same grey line inside a black box...

thisismynext says they've been promised "early June" by Asus (review itself says June, the Q&A specifies "early")
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
You know, given how Asus has pretty much crammed everything into the TF and made it work (microSD, full-size USB ports on the dock, SD card on the dock, etc.), as well as the Asus-specific apps (including DLNA support), I'm pretty confident that they'll get 3.1 out the door as quickly as humanly possible and ICS as well.

They seem very aggressive about making this stuff work, possibly because of their experience in making high-performance motherboards and such. It's probably in their DNA to get into the guts of things, which is one of the things I like about the company.
