[XPERIA X10 General] Devin-J:
Greetings loved ones, i will explain how and what are the precautions you should take in order to ensure that your converted video is supported by x10.

Firstly, remember this: THE HIGHEST QUALITY VIDEO FORMAT x10 support is MP4 encoded with codec for 'PS3-MEPG4' which has an extension of (.mp4)!

although it may seem like just one of the many mp4 formats supported by the X10, THIS IS IN FACT THE HIGHEST-QUALITY-FORMAT SUPPORTED. how do i know this? i am a kinda-professional video editor and a small director (not in business though, a talented hobby). and i did a lot of research using all the best softwares available on the market (i meant the internet not the android market).

ok, so to summarise, x10 supports quite a lot of (.mp4) format files, but they does not mean the best quality. best quality [for-x10] is (.mp4) files encoded in 'PS3-MPEG4' codec.

-----------------------------;)

HOW DO YOU DO THIS,

use any one of the following softwares which supports conversion to this codec:

*4Media PS3 Video Converter (windows & mac)

http://www.mp4converter.net/ps3-video-converter-win.html

OR

*Sothink Video Converter Free Version (windows only)

http://www.myconverters.com/video-converter/ps3-video-converter.htm

OR

*Xilisoft MP4 Converter (windows & mac)

http://www.xilisoft.com/mp4-converter-mac.html

OR

as suggested by (user: kloud_) above,

*Any Video Converter Pro (windows only)

http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video/

OR

as suggested by (user: sahibunlimited) above,

*Total Video Converter (windows & mac)

http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/

-----------------------------;)

there are many more other softwares which i have not tested but might support 'PS3-MPEG4' format conversion. you can google them. the above softwares are tested by me personally and works. I TESTED THE PAID VERSION NOT THE FREE TRIAL. SO I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THE FREE TRIAL DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU. and i know how good most of you guys are at getting paid softwares for free from the internet. that is one alternative that i am not recommending (i dont want to go to prison) BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER IT AT YOUR OWN RISK :) thanks i wanted to share this info with you guys.

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK ;)

below are some screenshots of the softwares and the 'PS3-MPEG4' option highlited (you may need to login to view them):

[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Xilisoft is also for windows xp/vista/7...

The highest possible for x10 to play is 1280x720,1280x576

Both are 720p,

1280x720 is full screen...
[XPERIA X10 General] Devin-J:
not necessarily

the version i mentioned is the mac-only version.

because i had not TESTED the pc version of xilisoft yet so i cannot recommend it.

and if you want the pc version, you dont necessarily need xilisoft, you can use 4Media or Sothink (i have tested both in pc, so i recommend) links above in the main post.

all the best :p
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Thank you very much for the guide, very useful!

I am using Format Factory and there is a PS3 converting profile.

Will that be OK to use or should I download one of the programs in the OP?
[XPERIA X10 General] MAGPC:
There is also a program from cyberlink called Media Espresso, it is pretty cool.

@OP do you know or recommend any video conversion utility that uses GPU acceleration specially ATI' stream or openCL ?
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I use xilisolf on pc its useful for both x10 and ps3
[XPERIA X10 General] geordie 34:
I could give you a link to already encoded bluray rips if you pm me
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
I use Any Video Converter Professional for converting the videos. Works well on Vista/Windows 7.

Is useful for both x10 and PS3!! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Total video converter v3.71 is also good...
[XPERIA X10 General] AyDee:
An MP4 with .h264(AVC) video and .aac audio is the best codec/container setup. Is that what is used in the profiles you suggested? And 854x480 = 16x9 so if your converter supports it, encode to that resolution.

I use Xilisoft Converter Ultimate for PC.
[XPERIA X10 General] geordie 34:
No one intrested then
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I also use xilisoft unlimate and total video converter and 720p for show off to my friends...

My friends actuallty have nokia phones and blackberry
[XPERIA X10 General] AyDee:
Yeah, you "can" play 720p if it has a low enough bitrate. Good for showing off :D Animation can be encoded with lower bitrate & still look good so I do watch some 720p anime from time to time:cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] guachanchoya:
I am using Handbrake. GPL, multiplatform, work over network. You can add chapters, subtitles, have many builtin presets, to no think about the best configuration, and can use acceleration on nvidia gpu's

The best for me as linux user. :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Devin-J:
careful

i think it should be ok if you use 'PS3 converting profile' that you mentioned

BUT MAKE SURE THE encoding is in MPEG-4 (extension .mp4)!

BECAUSE PS3 SUPPORTS VARIOUS FILE FORMATS SUCH AS (.divx) (.avi) (.wmv) !

NOT JUST MP4.

SO MAKE SURE YOU use 'PS3 converting profile' and choose (.mp4) extension

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

AMD stated that Cyberlink MediaShow Espresso software WILL USE the ATI Stream direction and capabilities. so, you could just get that :D

but i heard a software called TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress could do better quality than MediaShow Espresso, but i am not sure. you could check that out too. :p

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

thanks. since u tested the windows version and find it working, i added

'windows' to 'xilisoft (mac only)'

in the thread
[XPERIA X10 General] diimaan:
handbrake and SUPER are the best free encoders!

I used to encode using M3 by mish from some se forums when I had cybershot models!

Anyone know what MIUI system-apps that are safe to delete with RootExplorer?

I've tried to google this for a while but i dont find anything other than the standard stock android-apps.

I was thinking about removing: Calendar, Firewall, MiTalk, Notes, Radio, Voice Dialer, Music, the standard Launcher (im using Go Launcher instead), android keyboard (only using smart keyboard pro). Are thoose safe to delete?

Do i just enter the system/app folder in RootExplorer and delete the apps i dont want?

Thanks alot.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] khun:
Hi!

I would like to switch to Android on my htc hd2, since the rest of my family now has Android. But there are some questions I simply can't find answers to in the forum! I realize installing Android is on my own risk, but:

- is it legal? I am guessing so (since it runs on Open Source Linux and Open Source Android, I think...), but can't really find an explicit confirmation of this. Somewhere it was written that htc Sense is copyrighted, does that mean you can't legally use the touch screen on htc hd2 without the predelivered Windows Mobile version???

- Are there any parts of the phone that don't work with Android? I am thinking about gyro sensors, GPS...

- If I decide to switch, I want to switch completely. But as far as I can read the installation descriptions, it seems they install Android on top of Windows? That you actually start Android from Windows? Doesn't that slow down things unnecessarily?

Thanks for any concrete answers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
my friend....there are really two things u can do here...

1) either go for a SD based android rom which u can boot from win6.5 (and its not slower at all)

2) go full android by installing a nand version.

benefit of both is, you can go back to stock win6.5 anytime and every thing will work just fine.

Also dont worry about legality - most of here use all sorts of roms...

And all parts of the phone works in android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] khun:
So the difference is that in the nand version you have to totally reinstall Windows, while in the SD solution it's never even deleted?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
Yup
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ty5982:
i had it on my sd card about 18 months ago,then saw a video on youtube about nand versions instead,i didn't like the sd card version cos everytime i rebooted the phone it would load windows mobile and i was sick of putting zimage & intrid files on my sd card.i REMOVED windows mobile 6.5,got all the required things such as recovery,the right radio,the right hspl version,then flashed my rom via recovery using magldr 1.13.once uve done it once,you'll never look back again lol

THE HD2 IS A BEAST................TREAT IT LIKE 1 LOL

HOPE THIS HELPS................FEEL FREE TO HIT THANX
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] khun:
NAND Android installed

Now that was really easier than I thought, thanks to the excellent guides in this forum! I've already received messages and a phone call, within 1 hour of deciding to go for it!

Hopefully the good feeling will last, I never quite got Windows Mobile on the htc hd2 to work as I wanted...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ty5982:
good luck & enjoy........then go for PYRAMID ROM 3.0 SENSE V.70
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Glad to see you installed a NAND ROM instead of and SD ROM. My experience with NAND is that they seem to offer a bit better battery standby life over SD and are smoother operating. You may want to try a couple of ROMs and see which one you like best. I am currently using Tytung's Nexus HD2 v3.0 with his newest r12 kernel and it has been very stable with everything I need working perfectly.

[Xperia Arc General] johnvpr:
Hi to all,

just got a used xperiaArc t-mobile.at, since I hate branded firmware I found this guide on changing branded firmware to unbranded

well... after bricking it... i would prefer to keep that 3 icons :D :D :D

the first part of unlocking bootloader went OK but I figure out that the phone was already unlocked!!!

C:\fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
version: 0.3
C:\fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x3EE00EDD2852818E
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: Phone is already unlocked!)

so I've passed on...

fastboot flash system arc_lt15i_modded.img

but at reboot it will hang after SONY ERICSSON logo :(

I've tried also the following img, but nothing changes

fastboot flash system mt15i_3.0.1.a.0.145_GLOBAL_mod.img

now I'm a little afraid to get worst by trying other solutions,I can still access to fastboot commands.....

What can I do to reset-wipe my phone to a global firmware, and make OTA UPD also work again if possible?

THANKS!!!!!!

John
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Flash the complete firmware with FlashTool and see if it works again. Then use Doom's kernel to root it.

Ota will brick the device when the bootloader is unlocked!! (but that's fixable)
[Xperia Arc General] johnvpr:
THANKS!!!!!

unbricked, whit FlashTool and LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized.ftf

so now I have unlocked bootloader and stock firmware....

which metods i can use to updateit ?

and which metods i can use to route it?

i have flashed cm7/r2 Hboot . can i return to stock Hboot . how i can do that safely . thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crendot:
there should be no problem, just do it the same way you did flash cm7

only thing is you have to flash also a rom(sense ones) that needs stock hboot,

else you have to much system but to less data space.

but i would suggest you to try "Insertcoin Cm7" Rom, one of the best Sense Roms out there. So you dont have to switch to stock again.

ps.: always do nandroid backups!

You need to flash the downgrader file first and then the stock hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Only when you flash the hboot by ruu or ota. If you flash stock hboot by alpharev, you do not have to flash downgrader. But there won't occur any problem when one flashes downgrader first.

Seeing the many people all the time asking the same questions about the size of the system I decided to describe an extremely simple way to check it for yourself. It's also a way to change the font for example or remove unwanted applications before flashing rom. Believe the all you need to do is install the "7zip" and open rom.zip without unpacking and check the size of the folder system. Now you can change, delete, add content rom also. That's all, really:)

Ohh and if you add big and much apk´s you will have to increase the system partition when flashing CWM :)

[Flipout and Charm General] Spookythemayor:
For me it was the sexy azz form factor. i was in buffalo, ny. Well Me and my fiance took a trip up there. anyway we went into the att store just to "check out" new phones... Well i saw this exy beast of a phone just sitting on the wall. A square! i was like WTF?! AWESOME! and i was already in love with the charm for its boxyness so imagine the ecstasy from seeing this smoothe square with full querty keyboard. Its what sidekick used to be and what the charm is, but in a class of its own. I was with T-mobile for 6 tears running, but i switched to att THAT DAY! My Flipout was free (couldnt believe it). My Fiance princess got an iphone 4, we were both happy.

So, What made you get your flipout?

Also, is your flipout overclocked?
[Flipout and Charm General] moodroid:
Same here - because it's small and it looks good.

I thought I'd read overclocking was not possible on the Flipout - is yours overclocked and does it make much difference and does it get hot or anything?
[Flipout and Charm General] Spookythemayor:
Nope not impossible, i had downloaded "milestone overclock" and i believe the stock speed is 720MHz, i had it running al the way up to 1200! (seriously not a recommended frequeency to keep it at, it will break) i only had it all the way up there to do a benckmark and get a ranking on the leader boards, and it makes a WORLD of difference, expecially under normal conditions it goes from like 700MHz down to 250MHz depending on what its doing. Ive gotten CPU set since then and i have profiles set up that save a TON of battery life by running it at 125MHz when the screen is turned off. I reccomend "Milestone" for extreme overclocking to benchmark for bragging rights, but CPU Set is much more reliable and stable and has safety measures you can set up. But yea, its pretty easily overclocked after rooting it. Lemme know if ya want to do this in case you would like any help
[Flipout and Charm General] moodroid:
Cheers for the info. CPU Set sounds good, but I can't find it. Do you a link? Thanks.

He might mean setcpu, and its in the android marked. You can set profiles, etc.

One of the devs will probably at some point provide an update that you can use with cwm recovery to apply to your phone. If you still have a locked bootloader, make sure you figure out how to install and get into cwm

[Motorola Photon 4G] albe070:

[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
- In the forum, download the zip file containing the 45.2.5 Update. Look for "Final Build Courtesy of..." Yay For Juggs had posted that build. It'll take you to stock.

- Unzip it

- Open up RSD Lite and select the SBF file

- Get your phone into RSD support mode

- Connect your phone to the back of your computer and make sure it's charged at least 50% - RSD should recognize it

- Start the program to get you back to the stock ROM

- Once your phone reboots, run the update manually via "About Phone>System Updates"

- Re root your phone after
[Motorola Photon 4G] pIxiLatEd:
^^ that will definitely work for you, but you will loose all your settings and such. I used titanium backyp to back up apps&data but remember that it saves to sd - and that is an internal partition on this phone, so that will get wiped as well. You will need to pull the backup off that partition and replace it after you are updated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
My internal did not get wiped during RSD. I was able to restore from titanium and never moved any files. It is prob wise to make a copy onto the SD though just to be safe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
For what it's worth, I've flashed the stock rom with rsdlite and updated OTA and none of my apps and settings were deleted. Everything was just the way I had left it.
