Hello. I want to produce android applications but I have problem with installing SDK.I am doing everything according to instructions from

developer. android. com/sdk/index. html

but without success. JDK, plugins I have installed (I will work in NetBeans so I install plugins for this) but i cannot download platforms.

hmm If you are good in linux there is maybe a way!!

Can you extract UrukDroid 1.0 rom and do this patch to the framework.jar

then Compress it again ??

maybe this way works good !!

If you can do it and upload it here then i'll try to install and test it :o
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
Nope, i just stumbeled over that.

I have no need for arabic nor any experience with that.

But you don't have to extract anything from Uruk, as this is not like other ROM's.

The files are here in a zip file, so simple unzip, change the file and then zip again schould do fine.

Then put it into /data/UrukUpdate and wait.

[HTC Inspire 4G] wvmedic:
Hello everyone...

I am new to the Android...yet another blackberry and Iphone convert...

I have a fully rooted Inspire, currently running CyanogenMod 7.03, which runs just fine for me. The problem I am having is that I never want to stick to anything that I can change....so I am always looking for newer roms etc. I have tried to install LeeDroid (unsure of exact version but it was posted the other day) and have attempted to install Coredroid V6.2. The problem is each time the ROM has apparently been installed, the phone is stuck on the white HTC screen for good. I have waited up to 30 minutes for each ROM to boot, to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated......also...to any devs..I have several web sites that have very little bandwidth if you want to use their FTP servers..(free of charge, of course) I have 2 terabyte per month bandwidth on each of the seven FTP servers. Send me a PM or just post here.

Thanks,

Don

Here is what I am currently running:

Rom Manager Premium V4.2.0.2 with CWM V3.0.2.6 (have rolled back to other versions, no luck.)

Current ROM CyanogenMod 7.0.3 with no extras

Baseband 12.39a.60.19P_26.06.06.30_M
[HTC Inspire 4G] iRootAll:
Make sure you do a data and cache wipe every time you switch roms unless you are updating cm nightlies. And don't use rom manager for downloading and flashing. Do it manually for best results. Things get buggy when you get lazy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wvmedic:
I have cleared everything each time...this is bugging me lol. I tried a CM nightly last night, same deal. Thanks for the response, though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wvmedic:
Resolved....I think.

Since I was unable to install the rom from within Rom Manager, I went to trusty ol' droid explorer and selected install rom from the tools menu. This changed the rom name from coredroidxxxx.zip to update.zip. From there, it gave me the option to reboot into recovery, reboot and install or save for later. I selected reboot and install, and it locked up with a white triangle and exclamation point....

From here, I was able to reboot into CWM and clear data and davlik cache and installed update.zip without a problem.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] iRootAll:
Glad ya got it working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wvmedic:
Me too...now to flash a leedroid and see if I like it...

I was lucky and found Mobo Player in a few minutes. Didn't realise people didn't know about it or i woulda made a mobo player thread ages ago.

Here's a tip for Mobo Player -

If a video file doesn't play, switch to software mode and it will work.

I havn't come across an.avi file that hasn't worked perfectly on my Xperia Play with Mobo Player yet.

It is indeed awesome :)
[Xperia Play General] neptune:
cant say I've gotten around to watchning videos on the device apart from BBC iPlayer or YouTube but I'll definitely give it a shot. You never know when you need a video player
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Thanks dude I do lots of road trips and this will be perfect, especially since rockplayer doesn't work for me
[Xperia Play General] refract:
I don't really have a Play, but seeing Arc and Play are pmuch the same thing - Arc Media Pro is hands down the best media player, MoboPlayer lags when you compare the two

Weird...I tried to play a 720p episode of flight of the conchords...no audio.

Next, 720p episode of South Park...audio, but no video..then force close, leaving my cpu pegged at 100% with no visible process to end. Must Reboot.

well..terrible time with it so far..dunno why it hates me :(
[Xperia Play General] kenshindono:
speedyink i have both mobo and QQ installed i don't have any problem playing my anime episode 720p. but i had an incompatibility once on an episode and used QQ to play it. You should have at least two installed to do the comparison on some files.

Don't forget use cifs.ko to stream 720 over wifi :)
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
True that. Totally prefer in original language. (Although the occasional ParodyDub is fun). As a US person though, besides FanSubs, I also make use of a service called "CrunchyRoll" which has an android app. I suggest US folks try it out. I know it is also available in several other places (minus Japan) and lots of current series are simulcast (well within an hour of broadcast in Japan, and with subtitles) for subscribers and available otherwise after 1 week.

Try Diceplayer 1.3.0

Diceplay finally support Xperia Arc.

Diceplayer can play 720p High + DTS + MKV files with HW Video Acceleration.

ssa/srt/smi external sub + mkv embedded subs

Is that in the market? Do I need to root?

Edit: Never nind. I found it. I'll try it when I get home.

Thanks

[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Cifs.co does not work for me. I get a null pointer error when I try to connect to a share.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Have you installed it? You need root, since you have to move it to /system/lib/modules and then type in adb shell or in a terminal for the phone:

insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
No, my phone is not rooted yet. I just downloaded it from the market. lol

The root guides are not clear so I haven't rooted. It missed a lot of things such as putting your phone into recovery mode. I have no clue on how to do that.

Edit: It tells you how when you flash. You turn off the phone and plug in the USB while holding the back button. (With Dev mode on)

I have rooted and so far it’s going good.

I've got a little problem when im playing my 720p mkv dual audio file its a bit laggy the vid is delay
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I suggest adding Daroon Player to the list. It styles the subs unlike the others, although it still only uses the system fonts atm

Also, I see no point in hd anime when standard res and a decent bitrate looks nice on the 4 inch screen
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
I tested on my xperia play with a .mkv 720p and it's too laggy, unplayble. The best (for a single core smartphone) is still MX VIdeo Player
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
480p is all you need on a phone with a four inch screen. I would rather have styled subtitles than HD.

Sent from Silent Earth 3
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
Yes indeed, but the problem is you have to re-encode your mkv in 480p avi or re-download your movie in a divx or mp4 format...and that it's a problem for me (i have a 2TB hard disk only with HD movies...very few just divx...)
[Xperia Play General] faisaldante:
man seriously im using dice player its amazing its the best it even plays hd stuff on my phoen it ddnt before but i geuss the updtes lets it
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
For HD mkv's I transcoded them into mp4's using xvid4psp. That plus CCCP, vsfilter set to auto-load =hardsubbed, battery efficient anime files that play on any Android video player app.

I usually download 480p now though, since lately the only video watching is being done through the phone.

to me, having subs show properly odds more important than having HD.

Diceplayer is fast but daroon still beats it for .ass sub support.

Also, forgot to mention for English HD movies I use moboplayer and it doesn't lag whatsoever.

How about trying MX video player. Runs smooth on my SExperiaPlay.
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
If u are interested in 480p, why dont u just use MX Video player? It's free and has subs
[Xperia Play General] jwiens:
HD and FULL audio support

I normally just peruse all of your conversations, as 99.9% of the time, all of you come up with the solutions FAR quicker and more painlessly than I take. However, this time, I was desperately trying to play an x264 on my new setup, having linked the server, laptop, smart tv and Xoom for the first time. I have (had) MV, Mobo, Stock, Meridian, and on, and on. Mobo would play audio, but not video, and only in software mode, and the majority of the others would only play video (in hardware mode), so no complete solution. Then I ran into an quiet little app called BSPlayer Lite. EVERY HD, .mkv, m4, didin't matter compression, it ran....no jitters, no lag, no (as far as I could see) dropped frames.

Might want to give it a try. I only ran into it out of desperation.

Hope I have helped someone.

Regards,

Jason
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:

I'll check it out.

the solutions the OP posted didn't work for me either

Well i tried playing my harry potter chamber of secrets 1080p sample and it failed

I haven't found any players that can handle 1080p yet lol.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I doubt 1080p will ever work on the play, period. 720p will only be possible with hardware decoding, and the phone doesn't have codecs for mkv files. Someone would have to create the codecs for the phone themselves, and the video player dev teams won't bother for less popular devices.

Sent from Silent Earth 3
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
Its 1080p resolution not format of mkv

the format is mp4

but still it's barely playable

plays really slow like someone hit 5x slow motion

audio is really deep to and distorted
[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
I am pretty sure that this generation of SOC are not powerful enough to play a full 1080p high profile x246 with high bit rate. Sounds like that is exactly what the harry potter sample you played was. We need the next generation like the Tegra 3. Tegra 3 is built to hardware decode full Blu-Ray movies.

I've also tried all of these players as well listed in the OP. I also found that the best was BSPlayer.

My test files include:

720p Youtube music videos I downloaded (x264 i think, mp4)

A random 720p TV episode of: (x264 & mkv)

The Simpsons

The Big Bang Theory

Top Gear

Plus a random anime blue ray rip of an anime, Code Geass made by fansubers/rippers Thora. (x264, mkv, with soft subs)

Any 720p from Youtube, plays no problem on any of the players that have some sort of hardware decoding built in. All of my other downloaded 720p, unwatchable.

The only one that manged to play was Top Gear and that was using BSplayer. Also it was using the BS Engine for Hardware decode (not the system one).

I have no idea why everyone else can get their videos to work. I am even more clueless on why out of everything Top Gear works. Everything is high profile x264 (just different versions), the top gear episode is one hour, and it uses more bit rate than any of the other tv shows. It's also the biggest file coming in at 1.45GB. But it plays just fine compared the lower bit ate files.

I've even installed all of the ARMv7 VFP plugins that come with most of the players. Doesn't seem to make a difference...

I also have an Atrix and a galaxy tab 10.1 in the house, so I've done experiments with the Tegra 2 as well. A lot players with hardware decoding built in will recognize the Tegra2 and will utilize hardware decode. Thing is Tegra 2 will lag under scenes with a lot of stuff happening. It appears that the Xperia Play if utilizing hardware decoding actually plays videos smoothly than the Tegra 2 (at least what I've seen so far, haven't done side by side tests)

Is there any other tricks that other people are applying that I don't know about? Or is just my weekly TV episodes that I download just to high powered? (which I doubt...)

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

Actually I'm pretty sure that mp4, mkv and even avi is a container. They are files that tells the video player what type of video, audio, chapters and subtitles it "contains" inside.

Video format: x264, Xvid, Divx, mpeg

Audio format: mp3, aac, ac3, dts

These are also known as codecs.

Thing is you can dissemble a mkv into its audio and video components, the reassemble them as a mp4 with no loss of quaility. Plus it takes less than 5 min to do so.
[Xperia Play General] Zerobarat1:
Hey, so is there any way to run 720p mkv anime's on this phone? Mxvideo player does a half decent job, it stays pretty much video and sound synced but on heavy scenes it loses it(slight desync, quickly recovers). So did anyone find a proper player?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
Like I said, 1080 is not possible, period.

To clarify, the phone needs to be able to demux the tracks from the container, and then decode them together, and the Play cannot handle anything in an mkv container, and in mp4 containers it's only compatible with h.264 within a certain range of bitrate and resolution, which neither of them is up to par with HDTV or bluray.

Personally, I've just been downloading standard resolution anime and playing them with daroon player. 480p with decent bitrate still looks great on a 4 inch screen. The anime that only come in 720p releases, I re-encode to Android friendly, space saving mp4's. Xvid4psp lets me hardsub them at a speed of one episode per half hour, and that's on a dual core only clocked at 1.8ghz so if yours is recent it'd go really fast. Plus you can set a batch job for a bunch of episodes, go to work and when you get home they're done.

[Xperia Play General] xrishox:
the thing about resolution increases is it increases the pixel amount exponentially, so it's an exponentialy resource requirement increase when you go from 720 to 1080p.

i've been able to decode 720p h264 mkv's with the cpu overclocked no problem.
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
I've only been able to watch maybe 10 mins of a 720p video on any video player i've tried, the problem is that the ram fills up and the video starts de-syncing (even though I have a lot of free ram prior to starting it). Under "cached processes" in application settings, the player's process shows a massive amount of ram used too. I've even tried increasing the VM heap size with no luck
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
You guys know what sucks is that I only have the harry potter collection in 1080p now lol. So the droid cant play it without conversion.

I wish it could tho.

I dont want to be the devils advocate here but I've seen other similar specification android devices that play HD video (720p) with far less problems than the Xperia play seems to have.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
Yeah, that's because phones like say, a Samsung Galaxy S, include very well-written codecs out of the box. They have hardware decoding, optimized very specifically to the chips they have. We're discussing using separate apps that weren't included by the manufacturer.

Also, in regard to the guy saying he had 720p playing fine- that was overclocked. We're talking about stock here. Not everybody uses a custom kernel.

[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
YA my droid X can play virtually any format without any problems

I was expecting the same experience when I bought the Xperia because of the nice GPU it has but oops. I was mistaken

Been searching for a media player that can handle all my needs but none of them seem to cut it. especially the OP's suggestions.

MOBO is actually one of the worst I've seen.

It uses way to much RAM and the GUI is probably causing it with all the effects and transparency.

MX video has less GUI but it still has problems playing media in HW and SW mode

One of the better ones I've seen is Kascend Video Player

It uses HW and SW modes and is very good at playing them

tho I must complain that the GUI is also causing lag

I dont know why these devs are adding all this gesture control and pretty gui.

It might look good but It's causing a ton of lag.

I wish that Rock media player or Arc Media was supported on our device

those are the most simple / fastest players on the android market. hands down

but they have no support for our snapdragon.
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Downloaded MoboPlayer per the OP. The description makes it sound like it'll be software decoded if the native player didn't support it, so it really just comes down to what players use the most efficient software decoder for a given codec. FYI: MKV is a container format; not a codec. Also, there is no such thing as "software acceleration." Decoding in software, by definition, is normal and not "accelerated."
[Xperia Play General] abstractbeats:
Did you try those videos with BSPlayer or DicePlayer? They have hardware support and I don't have anything longer than a movie trailer at 720p / 1280 x 720 to try them with. (That worked in both...)
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
I tried both of those, they do the same thing for me. I just use MX Video Player now, because it has the best interface in my opinion. By the way, hardware acceleration only works if the phone supports the video's format
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
There are a few that claim hardware acceleration, for tegra chips, or Samsung models. I'm guessing they have some chip-specific codecs built in. None of them say hardware acceleration for our specific chipset though, so anyone who says it has it is ignorant, or trying to promote the apps with false advertising.

[Xperia Play General] regorthegreat:
I have been dealing with this exact issue with the slow motion using BSplayer on my Asus Transformer Prime. The Prime can handle 1080p video easily with HW acceleration with very high bitrates and h264 level 5.0. But one thing I did find is that having multiple audio streams using 6 channels caused the slow motion effect in BSplayer lite. This did not happen in MX Player or Dice Player.

**Videos I used for testing are anime 720p mkv (h264, aac-lc). I also did this on my Xperia Play and got the same results.

Do your videos have multiple audio tracks and possibly more than 2 channels each?
[Xperia Play General] xodARAP7:
There is a player not mentioned but extreme good and in my opinion better than moboplayer.

Dice-Player

supports nearly every file

supports streaming

absolutely no lagging

all in all a GREAT player

it is not for free, but if u know how to search you will get it for free ;)
