MX Video Player.

I use it to play anime. I have tested most video players with episode 3 of Angel Beats. The OP has a high bitrate and is laggy when decoded via software.

MX Video Player is the one that plays it the fastest. Nearly full speed. And when the episode starts, it is full speed. So for high bitrate parts, you would need to overclock slightly, or live with the slowdown.

Dice, Mobo, etc. I've tried them all too and they all lag to hell in the intro. And I think Dice made the subtitles look like ****.

I've looked all over for information about hardware, but it just doesn't seem to be supported in the Play. I hadn't heard of Kaschend, but I just tried it and it was one of the worst ones. Of course, hardware mode is decent, but it would be. The video player wasn't actually doing any work.

tl;dr

MX Video Player = Best

Xperia Play = No hardware acceleration for mkv anime.
[Xperia Play General] Si1ver Shad0w:
I use MX too, but now there's a VLC port, I'll check that out too ^^
[Xperia Play General] Enkeixpress:
Nice, I'll try out MoboPlayer :)
[Xperia Play General] vinokirk:
I've tried all the video player s listed but none support hardware acceleration. Moboplayer is listed as being able use hardware acceleration but I cannot get it to work. Has anyone been able to get it to work?
[Xperia Play General] mocool05:
yeah thanks, i had to convert all my videos and used mx player...definitely be switching.
[Xperia Play General] scremo91:
between this and MX Player which one is better?
[Xperia Play General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
BS player
[Xperia Play General] chick3n564:
I've been using moboplayer for a while and love it. If anyone didn't know, it has a floating video player too, which is very useful.
[Xperia Play General] Karchikumar:
I will be voting for Mx player.....
[Xperia Play General] HEZAiKU:
MX Player x BS Player x Mobo Player

MX Player is the best player ever when comes to play movie and all type of videos but is not like BS Player that have auto-switch hw to sw if some video not supported and have a floating video too. And for Mobo Player still i dont test it n i will if i have another time.

Hardware is identical except that NS4G has the NFC and no flip keyboard.

I bet if you flash one of their ROMs and then Netarchy's kernel it'll work just fine.

What do you think?

Can u post the rom for epic 4g. Ill do it

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
No, it's not a matter of doing it. This was a question to someone who could answer it. Obviously the two you've seen were not technically oriented to be able to even have a guess.

The answer to this, if you follow the link I posted from the epic forum, is that some minor adjustments need to be made to the ROM it'self before it can be successfully flashed following with a kernel. If you don't, you'll get an error in the recovery or at best the phone will boot but not have all the functions.

So the guys from the Epic forum answered my question and they are happy I brought it up because they'll have a pure GB ROM on their phone with all the new stuff included.

Makes me wish I got the Epic. At least there, my questions would have been answered better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
wow first, they can boot a stock aosp rom because they have a .35 cm7 kernel, we on the other hand dont have a .32 kernel, or a .35 touchwiz kernel. and yes most of the rom.. should work (save for anything to do with radio) on the epic (again with the correct kernel) and most of the people there are happy because any thoughts of gingerbread give them giggles. they have a gb rom already, its cm7 and its halfway working, but it wont be because of teh nexus s 4g. its because they have some of teh best devs working on it. the reason why their rom wont work is because touchwiz is heavily integrated into it, we dont have the support for that (yet, who knows what someone may try to port over) prime example look at the sense rom and tell me how many of those things are working? the epic is as close to the nexus s 4g as it is to the motorola razr. they share the same radio and chipset and a few other random parts and pieces how the ril is used is completely different, how the gps is run is totally different.

how's that for an answer? if you wanna swap to the epic i know plenty of guys that are in the epic irc channel that would gladly trade with you.

[HD2 General] Richilew:
It looks like you have to start all over from the beginning, try a youtube tutorial there are many out there and many of the more experienced techs on here actually post those videos. Good luck and make sure you follow it step by step. Also check out a thread by a moderator by the name of MSkip he posted on here directions on how to install a rom on your phone.. it's located in the HD2 section.
[HD2 General] ronvohra:
I think you've probably got everything right except for the actual ROM flash. There aren't too many Android NAND roms that you can flash the usual way (i.e the DAF like loaders you used for HSPL and magldr), but you can try flashing CWM and then a good NAND Android rom. Check out the Android NAND development forum for a suitable rom to flash, you'll most likely find the relevant instructions there. Or you can start over with YouTube tutorials to guide you (that's what I did). Best of luck. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
I am having trouble with using custom wallpaper and need some input from you fine people. I understand our tab has a resolution of 1024X600 so plain, dumb redneck logic tells me a wallpaper image of that size will fill the screen perfectly and completely. However, that is not the case apparently.

If I put a 1024X600 image on the tab and select it as wallpaper, I am presented with a photo-cropping interface that FORCES me to crop the picture. OK, no biggie, it is high-quality at 300dpi, so I do that and it includes the whole picture I want displayed.

The problem comes when you actually go back to the home screen, the picture has been blown up so damn large that it only shows a small piece of the image.

Does anybody have any real specs on what format the wallaper needs to be in?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TJEvans:
I've searched forever regarding this as well...and can't find a straigt answer. What's strange to me is that if you click on a picture on the web, and select set as wallpaper, it will be formatted relatively accurately (there's a little cropping, but not much) if you save the same photo, and set it as wallpaper through the setup screen, it's all zoomed in and cropped horribly.

I've used an app called Wallaby to set wallpapers. you can tell it to NOT resize the image you select, and it works OK.

Basically, what I've found is that even though the resolution is 1024X640, you actually need an image that's more line 1024 wide by 1920...the reason for this is that when you are presented with the "crop" screen, you select a box, but it will only actually show the top 1/3rd of that box as your wallpaper. If you make the box smaller, it will select the top 1/3rd AND zoom in. the odd part for my is that the box is not axis specific...you are only able to crop vertically AND horizontally, not one or the other.

If you pull out a wallpaper image from a rom, you'll see that it's REALLY tall, and the bottom 2/3rds are pretty much blank...that's how it needs to be made in order to look right on the tablet.

so, if you can locate an image that's 1024X1920, it will not zoom in, but it will only show the top 1/3rd of the image on the screen as wallpaper...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] theclassicalgod:
Hit up the market for MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. Free app. Easiest way to get the most of your wallpapers back in landscape. Most of the current versions of android are based around Portrait orientation so it crops to fit across a few smaller windows.

For those with newer devices that are landscape oriented, we get screwed. lol But, gladly this app is free to get what you need done at the very least. Has some other interesting features too, need be, but a lot are paid features, I think.

Hope this helps. :)

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
I actually have had multi-picture live since I first got the tab. It does something very strange with BoS. Multi-picture provides for screens 1-7 but the device shows screens 8-14 so it won't even configure correctly at all. I am sure it is the difference in res for screen.

Actually, I have been able to get both 1024X1024 and 1024X600 images to work with the regular wallpaper chooser. The problem comes after waking it up from sleep, the image is borked.

Tried Wallaby - absolutely worthless for me. Wallpaper Wizardrii is ok, but still difficult to work with.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phollenz:
I have a G1 with these specs (at least HBoot-Screen tells me so):

DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON

RADIO: 2.22.27.08

HBOOT: 1.33.0013d

ClockworkMod Recovery: v2.5.0.7

I have tried several ROMs and with all of them ,besides 2 which are unstable, i have the problem that my 2G/3G connection doesn´t work i have searched other threads but found nothing on it. In one of the ROMs I was able to receive data via Browser but all apps didnt!

ROMs i have tried:

Biffmod 2.1

Froyo by laszlo

SuperAsop

SuperFroyo

COS-DS-full

x-treme-froyo

I flashed Radios HBoot and roms via ClockworkMod and hab no Problems with it.

Before I flash a ROM I use Ohsaka-SuperWipe

When i for example try to log into my google account while settimg up phone it seems like data is being sent but nothing comes back. (Arrow up blinks but arrow down -nothing)

Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?!?

I Admit im no pro at this so maybe i´m just doing some simple mistake which i don´t know of.

But since i really would like to use one of these ROMs, it would be nice if someone could help me.

Thx 4 reeding
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
not sure if this it why but most of the newer roms for the specified radio and hboot dont show a 3g symbol like the old android os usually does.. they have the H now your 3g is still running your just not seeing a 3g on the top bar
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phollenz:

oOo uhhhmmmm im not sure than.. are you flashing kernels with the rom? sometimes the wrong one could mess with your connection... maybe.. lol im not sure dood just maybe try updating radio or re flashing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] trevor2k:
I've been trying my best to avoid returning the phone, but mine is freezing 10-12 times a day. All require hard reboot. I rooted and put CWM on. Here's my question:

Is flashing a custom ROM (CM7, EB, or Bio2) going to fix the freezing issues?

Has anyone who had freezing issues fixed their problems with a ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] philthyman21:
The leak seemed to work fine for me. No reboots & no lockups :-)

Just a few minor bugs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] terminatorxman:
Same problem here...I really like the style of the phone.

What Bugs do you mean? Minor?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
I had problems with the stock Froyo ROM, reboots etc, they pretty much disappeared after switching to the any of the other rom's here. It's easy to return the phone back to factory stock. IMHO, I'd recommend trying a few of the rooted rom's here first before returning it.

after charge it for the first time (i charged it for 8 hours in off mode) i test the battery in idle (standby) only not using my phone. 11hrs still 99% left:D

this is what happen to my 1 year old original battery that come with the phone. you can see its already expanding. only last 24hrs standby @ 12hrs medium usage @ 1hr heavy usage:mad:

Thanks a lot! =)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
In fact, anyone can suggest whats the problem with my phone?

My phone lasts ~4 hours/10% with NO use at all (screen lock).

I have used both dexters and khal's rom with nothing installed/addon to it.

I have tried reformatting SD card.

I have tried calibration on battery (charging from 0-100% and deleting batterystats).

I have underclocked to 550 mhz (32 vsel)/not loading milestone overclock module.

I have tried SetCpu and juice defender which seems to make it worst (like 3 hours/10%).

And then i reverted back to the stock rom and got back 8 hours/10%.. any cool suggestions?

Thanks a lot!!

[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
I'm seriously considering buying the Moto Atrix but I've got a few concerns/questions..

My main holdback is VPN connectivity. I use a pure ipsec connection for work, so I will always need root and the proper tun.ko module loaded.

My fear is that some OTA update will come along and break my VPN connectivity.

Anyone out there using this type of connection? (vpnc, or gat-a-robot VPN)

Flashing a custom ROM would be nice, maybe down the road I hope..

Next is the power button/fingerprint reader problem. I've seen a lot of complaints/problems with this. Any XDA users care to chime in?
[Atrix 4G General] marko!:
Im not sure about the Vpn questions but what I can tell you is that for be it took all of thirty seconds to root and I have no complaints about the fingerprint sensor. Every once in a while it acts up but its more of a novelty to have it. The phone is solid I would reccomend if you sort out the vpn.

sent from my rooted, canadian Motorola Atrix (4G)
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
When it does act up, is it just the finger print reading part or does the power button act up too? (I think it might be the same sensor)

I have no problem disabling the fingerprint unlock and using the old pattern unlock. I'm used to that anyway.

Hope someone can chime in about the vpn tun module. I think that might be the only thing yet holding me back from buying..
[Atrix 4G General] marko!:
No its just the scanner. Though the power button and scanner are the same button I've had no issues with the button part of it.

As for vpn again this might help:

The options under vpn settings are

-add pptp vpn

-add l2tp vpn

-add i2tp/ipsec psk vpn

-add i2tp/ipsec crt vpn

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply..

I found a thread in the dev section with the tun module and confirmed it works with the .83 update.

[Atrix 4G General] unity311mu:
Good to see some fellow Saint Louisans on the forum. I get similar speeds, but it also depends on which server I use in the SpeedTest app. If I use default STL, I get the above speeds (usually not higher than 4 down though). If I connect to Springfield, MO, I get close to 10MBPS DOWN, while still getting the throttled upload speed (~.15 MBPS). Weird behavior, but it has happened often.

since the nexus is internal memory only?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Not really. Nexus S still mounts the sd so I believe it's just internal. As far as kernel... I think it might actually work without the hardware keyboard. But don't take my word for it. Ask a developer.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
I'm sure CM7 team has been informed of this by now.(hope so) and idk if k0nane has but he needs to. I'm sure ACS would enjoy the bragging rights of porting over a fully working 2.3.4 ROM

Hypothetically, if you flashed it and it worked, how would you get back into download mode to flash the stock ROM back onto it. Is there any way to get into download mode besides holding the 1 key and power?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftr182:
I think that the download mode is part of the bootloader. If you just flash the rom, the bootloader remains the same.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
well as we said, some coding would need to be ported. Especially the keyboard.

But you know download mode work's even if the phone has NO ROM in it correct? rom doesn't affect the epic's default hardware settings
