tired of fighting with cifs.ko mounts cifsloader and different kind of kernels and other ***** stuffs i found a much simple way to watch my videos from the pc (without having to download them)

just install easyphp on your pc http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/

then open your stock browser on your xoom and point to the pc IP

if u have moboplayer installed (or i suppose any other video player) on your xoom, the video just starts to play.

1. u should put your videos in the right directory on your pc: C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares\www for the 64bit windows 7 and C:\Program Files\VLCShares\www for the 32bit

AND/OR

2. u can add as many alias directories pointing the real directories in where u store your movies: example C:\Users\Administrator\Videos how?

there is a bug in the administration page of the easyphp about creation of alias directories.

u must open the apache configuration file (right click, configuration, apache) and at the end of the txt file add, for example

Alias /video "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos"

<Directory "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos">

Options FollowSymLinks Indexes

AllowOverride None

Order Allow,Deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

restart the server and point your xoom broswer to IP/video

(IP is the ip number of your windows machine)

if your wifi is fast then the movie goes fast and the quality is perfect (100 times better than using vlc direct pro)

i tried also using this system with firefox beta on the xoom but the broswer try to download the file instead of opening the player...so...use the stock browser.

ciao
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shobirama:
What configuration needs to be done to easyphp? Any windows firewall exceptions need to be made? Router configuration changes needed?

Installing easyphp and connecting to my computer's ip gives me a webpage not available error message in the stock browser.

Where does the vlcshares directory come from? Do you have to create it? It doesn't exist after installing easyphp.

Could you expand on the setup of this?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 00roberto00:
sorry i corrected the link above.

u must install the vlc shares version of easyphp (http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/downloads/detail?name=vlc-shares_0.5.4_installer.exe), then it creates the vlcshares directory itself on your pc. (C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares)

i didnt have to touch any router configuration or firewall permission.

its just a kind of hhtp server under port 80, so, if u dont have another http server running on same port u dont have to change nothing on your pc or router.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shobirama:
Very cool, works really nice!

One thing I noticed.

Moboplayer does not handle spaces in filenames/directories. If there is a space in a filename or if a video file is in a directory that has a space in the directory name, Moboplayer will not be able to play the file.

Rockplayer/Rockplayer lite does handle spaces in filenames properly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hector_122:
i have the same page not available on my xoom, i installed everything correctly on my laptop and added an alias with a movies folder then whenever i try to access my ip address from the xoom or the ip/folder name i get page not available
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Markazeh:
Hey hey,

Just wanted to tell you guys that i've been streaming videos from my pc to my xoom with es file explorer and mx video player + codecs. No need for extra software on your pc, just share your movie folder on your pc and connect with es file explorer to the pc, select movie and play with you favorite player :)

Hope this helps
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hector_122:
but still this wouldn't play regular avi files that are not supported by xoom right ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Markazeh:
Hmm

For me, every single AVI file worked for now.

Xoom can't play avi with stock video player, but MX Video Player and Mobo Player are able to handle avi files.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hector_122:
i have mx player and most avi files doesn't work when i open them it says loading then close back to home screen without force close or any errors and i have mx codecs installed dont know what's wrong

and mobo player forces close
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Markazeh:
Are you sure, that u installed the right codec pack, the one for the Tegra 2?

Another suggestion would be if it only happens over Network or does you MX Player also close when you try to play files stored on your tablet?

Greets
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hector_122:
yeah i installed the ARM 7 codecs and yeah it does this with files even on xoom, only files worked when it was mkv files

Hmm, got that "alert" just a few moments ago before reading here about that new firmware. Don't know if i should flash it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackd89:
Hey,

I downloaded the firmware LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.146_Global, flashed it successfully via flashtool..

However, there is a small problem...i cleared out the cache in the GMail app and it started up normally, i could check and send emails. Then i noticed the version was downgraded to 2.3.2. I tried to update to the latest version (2.3.4.1) from the market but it just shows open!! there is no update option..manually installing from the apk does not work, i checked!..

Can anyone help me out here? :confused:

are we coming to loose the root another time by using this update ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjiwing:
I want the new update on my EVO.. it is rooted with Unrevoked or revoked..

When I run the OTA update it goes to the screen with the android and a Triangle with an ! in it..

What do I need to do to get the new update?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Here are 3 scenarios that will help you out:

1. You can unroot by running an RUU, take the update, and lose root user access. There is currently no method to attain root user access on the new OTA update.

2. *IF you performed a root method in which you flashed UNREVOKED FOREVER - You can unroot, accept the OTA update, flash AmonRa PC36IMG.zip and still retain root user access

3. You can manually update the radios, wimax, etc; and then flash the STOCK root version of the OTA update from the dev section.

Good luck, and ask any questions you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htown999:
You are already rooted so the easiest way to get the new update is to flash a rom based on the new update. I personally use fresh 4.1.1, but there are tons of options to chose from.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
You have gotten great suggestions and help above and my suggestion would be before going any further do alot more research. There is a lot of helpful information in here but none of it will help you at all if you dont read it.

I believe your best route is to go with the thoughts of the second posters scenarios and good luck. Have fun with your Evo but read OP's and stickies because in all honesty you could of been updated your new radios and rom within 20 minutes if you were already rooted.

Stock Rom - all the info can be found in his OP
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidv001:
i was android 2.2 then installed kings rom and it out me to 2.3.3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
Can someone elaborate a bit on this point:

2. *IF you performed a root method in which you flashed UNREVOKED FOREVER - You can unroot, accept the OTA update, flash AmonRa PC36IMG.zip and still retain root user access

Not sure what I used but I suspect unrevoked forever but I"m not sure. When i tried grabbing the OTA, i wound up in a recovery screen I think. Can I disable root from in there, grab the OTA, and then download this AmonRa or should I just apply an image already floating around? Someone suggested Fresh 4.1.1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
@joeynuggetz

Im not sure how to step back out from the recovery after trying ota, but I WILL say, to all who care about keeping root, just use one of the roms in the dev section that is stock with root. There are a few.

But yes, as was said earlier, if you used unrevoked forever (and only you know), from what I've read you can take ota, then reapply amonRA using the pc36img. (Im only reiterating what has already been suggested)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I am planning to sell mine. I am using the dock only as a charging station. Whenever I want to actually use the tablet, I have to remove it off the keyboard, for games, ebooks, mags and comics. Even for browsing and using apps like news360, pulse and tapatalk, its much easier to scroll using the screen than trying to use the touchpad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhonicUK:
Pretty frequently, especially for web browsing. I also use IRC a lot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akarol:
Honestly, only when I need N emergency charge. I'm leaning towards giving the Galaxy Tab a try. I already have a laptop for when I need the keyboard.

Sent from my beloved HTC EVO 4G.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
About 25 percent of the time the TF is docked, and about half that time is to use it because of the keyboard / stand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sanjeezy91:
I use mine a lot. about 90% of the time. its really useful to have some nice tactile response when typing, the trackpad is useful when you need accuracy and its easier to use than a laptop because there doesnt need to be cables and it powers on in about 30 seconds or if its sleeping, instantly.

I do take it off to read books and play games though, so i know what you mean. but it would be tough for me to go back to a tablet without a keyboard. I wish samsung did it. lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
100% of the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uncorq:
I use it at work mostly; then at home, detach and hang out on the patio with just the Tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SM0k3Y:
I haven't undocked mine since I bought it 2 weeks ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gig103:
I was super excited when my dock finally showed up the other day. I carry it around the house undocked, but if I'm posting on a lot of forums, writing an e-mail, or using Gchat, I'd dock it. I bought it for the extra battery life when traveling.

But because of the fact it drains 5%/hr when docked even in standby, I can't store it as a netbook which annoys me. And now that I bought Thumb Keyboard for $0.99 from Amazon, I'm wondering if I should just sell it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akarol:
I believe most of you should be using a laptop/netbook instead. No point in having a tablet if you have it docked the majority of the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] arthurbrownleeiv:
No point? Touch screen? OS? Battery life? High resolution IPS screen in a 10" form? I would buy this device even if it didn't come off the dock. Quit sounding like an egotistical prick.

Find me a laptop in this size that has this battery life and those other features. Nothing out there like it. Plus, when I do want to read my Kindle books? Quick click and it is easy to hold.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
I have it docked maybe 50% of the time. Always docked for transport from place to place. Docked for late night movie watching in bed. It makes a great stand even if you are not using the keyboard. Generally I have the trackpad turned off as it always gets in the way of typing and using my fingers on the screen is so much easier.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Same here, pretty much. Except, when I get a chance to do some writing later in the evening (when the family's asleep), then I'll pop it back on the dock.

It's really a great combo for me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
+ 1 I don't do anything crazy on the computer, id rather have the high tech experience android gives me. I don't have a dock yet but I can't wait to get one, I think about it every time I type.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
same here.. except ive only had mine for 3 days and it feels safer connected, extra battery life and learing the keyboard short cuts is a must but takes some practice. If i need to use the touch screen i just touch the screen. Im forcing myself to use the short cuts to be proficient with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Transformation is the whole point

I couldn't agree more. Without the dock the TF is pretty much just vanilla tablet. Permanently docked it's really a slightly handicapped netbook.

The whole point for me is that my TF can be what I want when I want it. Versatility is the big differentiation point for our tab.

Around the house (where there are plenty of devices with keyboards mine stays un-docked.) But the dock always goes with me when I leave the house.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
Couldn't agree less :)

I get the best of both worlds with it docked. I can pull it out if I want/need but it's compact enough not to have to worry about that. Plus, as already stated, its a much better experience than a plain netbook. I've got so used to the ability to type and then swipe on the screen that I keep trying to do that on my regular laptop now :D

Plus, I can then just close the "lid" and put it down without worrying about the screen facing up or down or touching something it shouldn't
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Daily. Nice to use in tablet mode, but it spends more time in netbook mode for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lqaddict:
Thanks to the dock I have my laptop screen all in smudges :p

BTW, decided that I don't really need it, and sent the tab and the dock to my friend, got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 instead lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
Sorry for your loss.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
That's a good point actually...I forgot that when I transport my TF the dock is acting as a screen protector!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
I purchased it with the dock thing it would be a nice to have but I've found myself actually using the tablet more docked than not.

In my bag it protects and charges, on my desk at work it allows me to quickly use it to check websites and type replies (like here) and at home it will be docked while I'm at my desk and undocked when I move to the sofa.

Problem is that I'm quite often using gtalk so the keyboard makes things easier, if I'm just browsing or playing games I'll take it out of the dock :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr.Clark:
Part of the reason for buying mine was that I couldn't justify buying a netbook nor a tablet, as I wouldn't use either enough.

This, however, gets used as a netbook AND a tablet, easily justifying the price.

Mostly docked, however. For protection as much as the fact that I could probably lose the dock.

Can't wait for a firmware to fix the drain. The battery life will be epic
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I find it handy as a charging stand. I find myself reaching for the screen more often than not when it's docked though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
OH while its docked I never use the touchpad, touch around the screen and type for text input :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sapiers:
Initially I was using my dock all the time, was so used to the laptop formfactor that it was just comfortable. But now I only use the dock when typing emails or stuff I also do use the trackpad if I have to edit text and move to a specific point in a line or click on a small link. All in all I really love having both options and have pretty much stopped using my laptop at home all together
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Mine is docked at least 90% of the time I use it, and I use my TF over 12 hours a day.. it's my new laptop now :) I really only remove it for games or when I want to use it laying down.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lacrossev:
The point is that while the majority of the time it might be docked, there comes that 1% of the time when you CAN pull it out of the dock and use it like a tablet.

If i tried to do that with my laptop.....i'd end up with one super broken laptop.

My car is a 320hp awd monster, but i drive it like an accord most of the time, the point is that i CAN get stupid if i wanted to :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] veilside959:
Almost never... But i did buy it planning to use it more in class, and that hasn't started yet. so hopefully then i will.

I do occasionally use it though to charge the TF when i dont have my charger
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I haven't bought the dock yet but I imagine I would only use it when I'm in my college classes or when I have to type a lot. I'm on the fence on whether to buy one of those "stand up" cases or just wait and get the keyboard in a month or two. I already have a sleeve for it, it's just that I don't want to have to constantly hold it up when I'm using it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dm36415:
I use the dock continuously, my wife never uses it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gig103:
I used it last night for a good amount of time browsing forums. I liked it too functioning as a stand so I could lay on my stomach in bed and have it propped up instead of me supporting it.

I don't use the mouse as often as I thought I would -- in a webpage to click links, but not to do any buttons like "bookmarks".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pohoda@k6.sk:
I use my dock almost all the time, its great.

The only drawback is, that if the TF is docked its always charging, so it can easily happen, that the battery of the dock goes to 0%, which is not that good for the battery.

Do you maybe know i way how to switch off charging of the TF even if it is connected to the dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Just wait and get the dock
