[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Diodato:
OMG, do you work for Skifta? :)

Well I gave it a try. Here it goes:

"Updating skifta" - no no no no. First launch did quite some download, but each time one starts Skifta an update check? And what happens when temporarily one has the INet down? Or some other connectivity problem? Well it did happen to me today; INet was up but the "updating skifta" was there just idle ... a good few minutes. No go exiting and relaunching Skifta ... always the update check. So in such cases the program is unusable at all.

Chose media source - "No media sources found". We wait and wait and wait... Aha! Found one server. But not the local MyNet which is always running. Oh, MyNet server appeared. And finally Skifta's own server. We need improvement with discovery. MyNet, ArkMC and UPnP are almost instantaneous.

On to video playback. We browse and select and ... have to select 3rd party player. No renderer function (at least for video). Sigh.

Images - buffering .... buffering .... buffering and image (turns out it's taking some time loading the icons images). But why is it so small??? Seems like 640x480 (sometimes 800x600) but _never_ fills the width or height. And it's not the server downscaling the images, try with the preinstalled on the TF101 local images like Boat, Bus, Cat. That's with jpegs, with gifs it does fit w or h. Lets zoom!!! Nope, no zoom :( A simple tif - black. Let's try a bitmap - black screen again. No message that unsupported, just black.

Audio. No ogg/vorbis support with builtin renderer. A very quick "unsupported" popup and automatically the next song is selected. Wav? Good they work. Seeking - nice, fluid. But ... with mp3 seeking is horrible, better if it was muted.

Overall it is very good that competition products appear. Skifter is still beta so much room for improvement. For the moment I'll stick with MyNet,

"to put it in simple words, it just works!" :D

Allan, after we users weed out the bugs, will the first non-beta be still ... free?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fabsn:
That's quite interesting. MyNet never worked for me but Skifta did out of the box. That's why I posted this thread, even though I don't get paid for it ;)

Eventually everybody's gotta figure out what app is best for his hardware and software config, as it seems like right now there's no dlna app that works for everybody. Actually I haven't heard any bad reports about upnplay, but its UI is driving me nuts. Its all a compromise
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Diodato:
Strange that MyNet didn't work for you. The more we get to chose from the merrier :) I do hope they will continue improving Skifta and keep the "low" (read: free) price tag.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] atimms:
Diodato - couple of points to make in terms of the issues you raise specifically..

On the update issues that you mention - Skifta checks for new fixes/functionality on each boot and dynamically introduces them if available. Primarily this is used for bug fies against specific devices/device classes. If there aren't any updates found, this should be pretty quick. Since version 0.72 the client has had the 'offline' mode built into it. Provided you've connected at least once before with an internet connection, it will startup without doing the check.

There was also a bug that meant that the app would sometimes hang on the 'updating' screen regardless of connection state - we think we've 95% fixed this, but there are still certain circumstances where it will happen - these occurrences are more likely around skifta app upgrades from the market if it's already running). There will be further bug fixes in this area as we narrow the causes down more.

In terms of the playback capabilities of Skifta - the app currently uses the native player (over which we have no control of codec support) or a third party player (in the case of video, if there are one - or many - installed). I know it's frustrating when your favourite codec X isn't in there (for us too), hence the introduction of the third party player option - there is a fairly large amount of choice here (vplayer being my current favourite and moboplayer getting a lot of good comments from our users).

Device discovery happens according to DLNA spec, but that sometimes means that you'll miss a broadcast and wait for the next retry. For the majority of devices, they'll respond to our first query and be instantly available - others won't and the app will discover them as they broadcast themselves.

We at Skifta very much appreciate all feedback, good or bad and as you probably noticed, try to respond with code drops, fixes, advice, etc fairly promptly - it is vital for the product as far as we're concerned to keep that feedback loop active.

We're also constantly working on new features, stability improvements, device compatibility enhancements and behind the scenes features that should mean that the service keeps moving for you guys. It would definitely be worth you checking out the latest market upgrade (0.74) that addresses some of the items I've touched on above.

We're working on some particularly exciting features right now that I'll be able to talk to you about soon!

Allan.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ikirt:
UpnPlay is a good dlna client also. Mynet didn't want to list my files for some reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Diodato:
Well it's a personal thing. _I_ want to be in control when an application connects for updates. The Android Market will notify me anyway if there is an update available for Skifta, right?

That's good to know that it was fixed.

No, I am not looking for a universal player. The native Android will do for me. But I didn't know that Skifta is delegating _all_ video rendering to an external player. Would be nice if Skifta supported also the video playback through the native renderer. Perhaps future releases.

For the moment you can try to fix playback of OGG (natively supported by the Android player) and images (full screen with zoom possibility) :)

No doubt since you're DLNA certified.

Will keep an eye on Skifta.

Also, you can watch live tv

I have orb installed on my media center computer, I'm using skifta and moboplayer and now I can watch live tv on my TF. This is wonderful.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] webmanoffesto:
I'm a but confused by the ROM'ing process

I've already rooted my phone

I have these apps on it

Android Terminal

Titanium Backup

ROM Manager

Galaxy S Unlock (my Unlocked phone relocked for some reason)

Z4 Mod rooting utility

It seems to me that I'm ready to ROM. What remains to do? Do I just need to select a ROM, download it and add it to ROM Manager? I'd like to try Cyanogen Mod. Do you have other suggestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] webmanoffesto:
I'm now happily using Team Whiskey's "Bionix NextGen v2" (Froyo). I think the breakthrough was when somebody suggested that using ROM Manager I repeatedly "Reinstall Packages" until the color of the text changes. After doing that I was able to do a full Nandroid Backup and install the ROM.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] lori_2001:
I just down-grade to 2.2, with Rommanager, to what i have saved before upgrading to 2.3.3, official.

My 2.2 is also official, just rooted.

But now it did not find a phone network, no service availabile.

I tried again to restore (manage and restare).

I checked with another sim, the same.

My sim on other phone was ok.

After hard reset i got a message:

com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Did you downgrade with KDZ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
He just said he downgraded via ROM Manager. PEBKAC.

@OP: You will have no GSM until you downgrade the baseband. Kindly check my v20g thread!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetbinodray:
Follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875881this thread and make sure while you are updating your ROM, Rom should be for your country specified. Without this GSM will not work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lori_2001:
thanks in advance, i will.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lori_2001:
I tried with the zip for phone, does not work.

So i have to come back to 2.3.3. Now i have phone.

I wanted to down grade because Maps are running every time i turn on gps, and igo is not working corectly ( the voice has interrupts).

Now i'm sticked to 2.3.3.

Thanks for your help and answers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Dunno what you tried really. You are supposed to reflash the baseband from 2.2.x.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lori_2001:
I flashed the baseband, but doesn't worked.

I used kdz to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2 (v10b_00.kdz), and it is everythin ok, inclusive phone.

Why bother, really? LG have been extremely slow when it comes to software updates, but thankfully, some developers over here have been making up for LG's lack of updates. So, just use a custom ROM and let LG do whatever they please.

LG don't have to update our phone if they don't want to .. its more work for them and they have to pay their developers more to do this. Their choice, not ours sorry..

Strange, I asked a month ago on the PT-BR brazilian LG support, and they said they are planning and working on a Froyo or maybe an Gingerbread version for our phones.

Of course, I don't believe much.

But now, Mur4ik and others developers are doing an excellent job on theirs Custom ROM's.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueForever:
I have used some custom ROMs (2.2, 2.3) on my X10, but none of them recognizes my SD card. The stock ROM (2.1) reads it properly, it is visible when I connect the phone to the computer via USB using the stock ROM.But when i use a custom one it says "Please mount SD card..." on Storage Settings and the computer recognizes it as removable disk, but it shows that the card is empty.I've tried cleaning all types of caches, full wipe, mounting/unmounting the SD card and formatting it with xRecovery and changing different basebands.

Is it a ROM bug, or I am doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timchew:
Please check that your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. If not, the ROM won't recognised it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Your SD card is probably partitioned.

Custom ROMs for X10 only recognise the second partition on an SD card,

meaning if you have one FAT32 and one ext2 (ext3, ext4, etc), it will mount the second and thus won't be able to read it, so you'll get an "SD card corrupted" message.

You need to wipe and erase the second partition with the same program you used to create it and it should work fine on any custom ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueForever:
I wiped the old partitions and then formatted the SD card to FAT32.Now it's recognized properly by the ROM.Thanks to both of you!!!

forums.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-accessories/79809-does-droid-incredible-micro-usb-rca-cable-work-thunderbolt.html

well it says Im not allowed to post hyperlinks on this board yet so you will have to piece that together but someone bought a cable to try it and:

"Nope, the cable can't be used with the Thunderbolt.

The micro-USB plug on the cable is non-standard in shape and contains two extra nubs that prevent it from being inserted into the TBolt.

It was worth a try."
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jasoraso:
One round-about option if you are determined to do this, is to utilize the "DLNA" capability of the TB. That is the "reason" there is no video, or even better, HDMI out on the TB.

You can buy this from HTC:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/35642/htc-dlna-bridge-gadget-tube

I imagine you could find other DLNA to composite video adapters out there, as well.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] qman66:
agreed. these cars should come with hdmi. and how about a capacitive touch screen. so annoying having to press down on the screen so hard. feels like my old wimo phone
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
You can only use it for media on the device. That is one reason for hdmi/compsite or whatever video capability. I want a video out to stream from netflix and or vulkano. This is part of the reason I may* jump to the bionic when it comes out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Kitten Mittens:
It's cool that it has DLNA I guess if your TV supports it, but I think it was kind of a bad decision by HTC. First of all 99% of Thunderbolt owners probably don't even know the phone has it, most of them probably don't have DLNA capable TV's, and HTC's "media link" adapter for people who don't have DLNA TV's costs like $150. I would rather buy a $10 HDMI cable and be done with it.
