Does it have option to record in 480p too?

Could you do a video example of the same thing in 480p and 720p to see how it improved?

How is it light compared to real life? We don't have the Exmor sensor :(
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Hey,any improvementis good improvement.it looked quite crispy
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Looks decent :)

Oh and just a hint, to embed a youtube video on the forum just just the video id (in your case its 96EocxqNVGs) and put youtube quotes around it

(YOUTUBE)96EocxqNVGs(/YOUTUBE)

Use square brackets though.
[Xperia Play General] carlosaeg28:
This image to demonstrate that there exists recording HD ? :)
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
I think its still the same, here's a clip from the last vid I recorded from my 2.3.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16w8pVOwG2o

On my free time I'll try to upload some vid with some of my fighting *****..:D
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Ok, I'll take a video of something tomorrow in 480p and then 720p, and I'll edit them in side by side, and see what everyone thinks.

@Miles Wolf This was recorded on my Xperia Play, as I stated earlier...don't see why I would fake it?
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
not much difference from the old 480p with regards to picture quality and fps, though the increased resolution is something! ;)
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
Awwww, how cute the dogs are. :D
[Xperia Play General] 4morten:
Nice, buy they didn't change the interface of the camera, right?

But, is great :)

[Xperia Play General] SondreVAIO:
Hardware says it all
[Xperia Play General] kanej2006:
Yes, you lose root.
[Xperia Play General] general_z:
Thought it looked quite ok. The XPlay wasn't supposed to have 720p so take it for what it is.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] JackyJack:
Hi there :)

Is there any app that would run mp3 when the light sensor reach x% of luminescence.

I am building a scenario to get back my girlfriend and I need the music to be launched when she opens the door, so when light come on the phone.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] consegregate:
That's a sweet move. Have you tried tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Yep, Tasker will do that.

Good luck with the girl!
[Android Apps and Games] JackyJack:
Great thanks, i'll give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
If you need help with it, send me a pm.

Sent from me to you using stuff
[Android Apps and Games] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
Any progress???

Many XDAians have Girl Friends :-)
[Android Apps and Games] JackyJack:
This will happen tomorrow, I'll keep you informed :p

EDIT : Well... Delayed to next wednesday, maybe I should keep her waitin' a lil' more ;oþ
[Android Apps and Games] JackyJack:
It failed the EPIC way.

1st of all she was very late because she had car issue, so when she arrived she was already pissed, then when she saw me she became mad, and finally when I tried to get back to my home, my car was not there, probally robbed...

So in response to dba.rknair, don't do it !
[Android Apps and Games] deejaylobo:
Lol, but did the Tasker profile work?:D
[Android Apps and Games] JackyJack:
Not exactly, I didn't manage to configure something stable enough for it to launch the music as the door open, so I used tasker in an other way : I disabled vibration and ringtone from the phone, and activated a trigger on tasker to play the music on missed call.

So I had to call my phone, ending it on the first ring for the song to start...

But as everything were screwed up it was useless.
[Wildfire General] mujahid525:
Hi everyone,

HTC wildfire doesn't support Urdu Scriptures the Urdu messages sent to my mobile cannot be read,

Could anyone help me reading those Urdu messages by making my mobile compatible to display those fonts clearly

Prently I have HTC wildfire A3333

I have rooted my device to cynogenmod 7.1 with 2.3.3 gingerbread

Thanq all :)
[Wildfire General] showlyshah:
dude you need to change font. i am from india( kerala). so i need to see malayalam posts in fb. so i changed main font with a font supporting malayalam. and now i can read malayalam. Google for a font that support urdu/ hindi. and replace original with it.
[Wildfire General] V0odo0:
I have No issue with reading Urdu because CM7 Supports Arabic. as i am using the same CM7 too .. but nightly # 177 and earlier a there was stable CM7 ..

I am about to buy this 32gb micro sd class 4 card

Just double checking with the pros here hehe

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Cla...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Would this work?
[Motorola Triumph] HitchHiker:
I don't see why not. On Virgin Mobile's web site it says that it will support up to a 32 GB card. I had no problems upgrading mine to a 16GB.
[Motorola Triumph] kofman13:
I don't care about recording video or copy from computer speed. Class 4 is enough?
[Motorola Triumph] Fodoom:
I think the class of the sd card will have an effect on overall performance - not just r/w from a computer or video recording.

Sent from my rooted Moto Triumph
[Motorola Triumph] kofman13:
sandisk or trancend?
[Motorola Triumph] ziddey:
i upgraded from a class 4 16gb to a class 10. i don't do video recording, but the music app is definitely faster, especially when skipping songs rapidly. stupid album art.

my class 4 card was able to do ~8MB/s read and write. my class 10 does 20MB/s read and 14MB/s write. no sd card tweaks applied.

that said, class 4 was pretty much fine. the stock 2gb card that comes with the triumph is class 4 from what i've read. i've had two triumphs and they've come with different cards though, neither of which i've used.
[Motorola Triumph] kofman13:
im going to get the class 4, but should i get sandisk or transend?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cire216:
Just wondering how the inspire 4g stands up to the comp? Gonna run one myself, curious on others results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
It stands up very well, but different phones with different roms will vary in their results. Benchmarks don't really matter in real world usage. The developer and the rom are the true factor in performance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Agreed. The benchmarks can be fooled very easily and real world use is the only true test. I can give you a rom that us off the charts on a benchmark test but runs like crap.

anyone know how to get an animation in the notification pulldown? or if someone knows how to make the background transparent along with the app drawer back ground? i tried uot but none of the status bar mods seem to work with sense 3.0... and i REALLY want one of the animations they have on UOT kitchen for notification pulldown
[Desire General] alfredolo:
I am trying to make a ext4 partition on sd to use a2sd but with no success.

I have 3 sd..

I can create on all of them a fat32 partition + ext4 partition.

On 2 sd (4gb and 8gb) the phone does not go beyond the splash screen. Sometimes appair "quietly brilliant" animation but make the animation forever.

On 1 sd (2gb) it work perfect.

I have tried both gparted and RMD recovery to partition all sd.

I have s-off and hrev7 r2 hboot.

Any idea ?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Flash the ROM again from scratch for the new cards.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Gparted.... Primary partition FAT32 - 7 gb for example

Then make EXT 3 or 4 (depends on your rom) @ 1 gb for example

Put all your files back on sd card

Flash rom from recovery

DONE

That's all you need to get apps2sd working

Just make sure you always have PRIMARY FOLLOWED BY EXT

Having a swap is up to you - I personally don't notice difference with or without it
[Desire General] alfredolo:
Gparted.... Primary partition FAT32 - 7 gb

EXT4 - 1 gb

recovery -> wipe all, wipe every single voice and wipe all again

recovery -> flash the rom

reboot

... don't work (on 4gb and 8gb sd).. it work only on 2gb sd

recovery -> format sd card 1gb ext4, so it create 7gb fat32 + 1gb ext4

recovery -> wipe all, wipe every single voice and wipe all again

recovery -> flash the rom

reboot

... don't work (on 4gb and 8gb sd).. it work only on 2gb sd

With RA-desire-v2.0.0 recovery

RA-desire-v2.0.0 -> format 1gb ext2 -> convert to ext3 -> convert to ext4

RA-desire-v2.0.0 -> wipe all, wipe every single voice and wipe all again

RA-desire-v2.0.0 -> flash the rom

... it work on 8gb sd card

why ?
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Personally, I'd check for bad sectors on the two sd cards that are not working

Sounds like bad sd cards.... no other obvious reasons
[Desire General] andQlimax:
not all the recoveries works..few only like amon_ra, cwm 2.5.0.7(not for pvt4), maybe the latest 5.0.2.0..maybe some 3.x (not all). some 4.x..the others one are bugged (even if sometimes its works, maybe in some worst condition its fails)!!!!

a recovery need only to works..choice a recovery and use always that recovery..stop

people try every day a new recovery, untill a day something don't work and they say like you..why? :)

in addition, if ur rom need a ext4 u should know that every cmw recovery (except the 5.x) will convert ur sdext to ext3 when u wipe it!!!!! ;)
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Totally agree with BigMrB and andQlimax.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
Hi all,

Here I'll describe every Hack/Mod/Discovery i'll do on my phone,

the Samsung Galaxy Next/Mini/Pop GT-S5570.

ASSUMPTION : I will not install CWM.

I've already made some experiments, and bricked the phone...

... but i'm still going on.

I'll log every step i made - while expecting a repaired device from service.

Every suggestion from other experience are welcome!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
=======================================================================================

I used SuperOneClick tool. Its easy.

Only remeber to root also the adb shell, in order to be able to acess as super user.

As you use the tool, the SuperUser.apk is added to your ROM.

This tool make a window appear every time an apps need root access, and you have a log.

Even if you reset the device, the rooting and SU will survive.

=======================================================================================

I install RootExplorer, ES_FileManager in order to be able to navigate in the filesystem.

With rooting, i can also mount /system as R/W... and RootExplorer also indicate the mountpoint of some folders...

Eploring the FS, I notice :

/system/apps - where the preloade apks are. Some are systems apps (unknow), some are apps that i have in the apps folder.

/cache - where tempoarary data are stored.

/data - where apps save info

=======================================================================================

... continue in [post 6]...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dongbincpp:
3x. Would you like to tell how you modify the recovery.img and boot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
at now i'm studing on that...

... reading "HOWTO: Unpack, Edit, and Re-Pack Boot Images".
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
So I manage to remove (and backup on SD and then o my PC) the unused apk

from /systems/apps/

Some APKs have odex file (that are a way to speed up loading...) - the unused one to be removed too.

After a wipe - I noticed that the apks are DEFINITELY removed - WOW i delete something from the ROM of my phone...

If i put the backup copy of the removed files back, they still work.

Instead, if i try to install them, some of them does not work anymore (why?)

I notice the SuperUser apks too... so I try to add different apk here, or change the old one with an updated version...

So when i'll wipe the phone i'll get it with what i want.

Sometimes it works, sometimes i got errors on startup, sometimes the device ignore the new apps (??)

=======================================================================================

When I wipe the phone, widget and links are the defult ones... how can i modify this ??

I notice dat inside /data/ folder are stored the Launcher dta & options - inside a *.db file.

So i can save & restore what i set.

But i still not understand where the setting are recorder on wipe...

=======================================================================================

... continue in [post 7]...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
great ... it is like a shell working on my terminal...

i'm not so experienced with linux command, buti'll try

I also use adb mask control, thas has a GUI to rapidly make some operation.

so i push sqlite and a new version of busybox on my device

playing with mount and my adb shell, i found:

d rwx r-x r-x root root 2011-09-09 10:10 acct
d r-x --- --- root root 2011-09-09 10:10 config

d rwx r-x r-x root root 2011-09-09 10:10 system	mount from /dev/stl12 (rfs)

d rwx rwx r-x root system 2011-09-09 10:10 mnt

/mnt/sdcard	??
/mnt/secure	??

l rwx rwx rwx root root 2011-09-09 10:10 d	link from /sys/kernel/debug
l rwx rwx rwx root root 2011-09-09 10:10 etc	link from /system/etc
l rwx rwx rwx root root 2011-09-09 10:10 sdcard	link from /mnt/sdcard

i simply make a backup of files in / and of /system/ on my PC...

since other folders have 'strange' mountpoints... i let them apart for now.

i found this list: cat proc/partition/

major minor #blocks name

137 0 513024 bml0/c
137 1 1536 bml1
137 2 512 bml2
137 3 768 bml3
137 4 25600 bml4
137 5 9216 bml5
137 6 5120 bml6
137 7 2048 bml7
137 8 8192 bml8
137 9 8192 bml9
137 10 768 bml10
137 11 6144 bml11
137 12 222464 bml12
137 13 192768 bml13
137 14 29696 bml14
138 12 214784 stl12
138 13 185600 stl13
138 14 25856 stl14
179 0 1927168 mmcblk0
179 1 1926144 mmcblk0p1

so i start with cat /dev/bml0 >/sdcard/bml0.img

and so on for each BML to 14.

Then i try with STL... and I brick my PHONE !!!

Reading around...

>>>> DO NOT TRY TO ACCESS TO STL5<<<<​

Now my phone is at service for repairing - i hope they accept warranty -

I'll continue my investigations on the BMLxx.img files...

=======================================================================================

... continue in [post 8] - without phone - ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
First, i work on the BML12, that is the file related to /system folder.

I read a lot of stuff about Samsung BML, STL, RFS, and so on...

My understanding is that BML is the layer of block level devices,

and STL is the 'file system like' layer on it. I read also that STL are FAT compatible, and that images can be opened with MagicISO.

So i found in BML12.img file the signature MSWIN4.1, cut the previus part (two byte more) and i get a fat-12 image.

MagicISO was able to extract this files.

I compare the extracted /system folder wit the backup i done directly from the phone ... SURPRISE... the files i removed from ROM are there again !! why this ??

On the other side i wander where the others files in original filesystem are...

Same tecnich on BML13 & BML14 for /data and /cach partition does'n work at all -- why ?

=======================================================================================

I dont think u can install any app as a system, think u can only replace an already existing system app with another of ur wish by renaming the app correctly and replacing it in /system/app

u cannot install app as a system app. as said abv u can only replace them.

maybe u need to remove them frm the dalvik-cache too

----edit------

clearly I have not played with my phone enough to be answering such questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
Thank you for the links,

I notice that already...but none of them talk about HOW it was made...

... i don't want a " download and install " work, but explain to everybody what i do.

Ok, it was what i think about 1st & 2nd point...I'll look for technical infos about those 'system' apps.

About the 3rd, you may be right if it was about a running device; but i worked on dumped images, so VM cache should not be involved... i'll investigate.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Akath19:
I'm neither an Android, nor a Linux expert but I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:

Some system apks don't have a registered activity (meaning they don't have a UI), so they won't appear in your launcher, also (and take this with a grain of salt), I've personally found that some of the apks placed in /system/app/ need to be installed too.

Dunno about this one, but I'd dare say that it has something to do with the extra files that are placed in other folders, What apps have you had this problem with?, maybe we can find out why they have that behavior

If they're not wiped they have to be either in the system partition or in the SD

Taken from the link you put on the BML mapping thread:

You'd have to find out the partition's filesystem, I believe it's a Samsung propietary FS so you're out of luck with that one

Way above my paygrade!!

See 5
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
Great !!

thank you Akath19 for your contribution....

I want to continue this discussion with details on some topics...if you or someone else is able to contribute.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In /system/apps i find some different kind of apps...

- those without icon, not appearing in the 'GUI' - (the app folder in launche) - i call them of 'system type' and i do not touch them.

- apps with icon, implementing important functions - gallery, phone, launcher, etc...

- Google Apps

- some other samsung/provider apps

- some 'generic' app - Analog clock, Dual clock, some widget... (i think they are inserted as demo of capabilities)

Many of those apps have related .odex file.

REMOVING Apps - and restore them

I removed the apps that i do not need - and backup the on my sdcard.

If i want to restore them, i can adb push them a their previus place, and this is the only method for odexed ones.

As alternative to reinstall i tried to do 'normal' install for the apps without .odex ... this also mean that they will be installed in /data/apps,

and they are moved from system STL12 to data STL13 - different partitions, with impact on free space)

This doesn't work for many of the apps - ??

ADDING Apps

I want to add some apps - in order to find them installed after a wipe.

This works with some apps, doesnot with others... some apps (TitaniumBackup) generate a force close on power on...

I suppose that apps in system/apps have to be differrent from those in /data/apps...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

They do are wiped... so the infos are written in /data/data/(somefolder)...

But the preloade info - those appearing after a wipe - where are they ?

I suppose that a wipe completely erase /data and not preload its contents...or a part of /data is restored after a wipe ? how ??

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the description of 'driver level' to access to the phisical chip...

STL are a layer up the BML, adding a wear leveling services, enabling secure r/w of bits...

I understand that in a BML dump is contained the STL dump.

This does'n explain why the apps i removed are still present in dump

(unless i make a mistake, and dumepd before removing ??)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are right... unless we find the source of RFS, in order to be compiled for linux, the only way i have to correctly mount, is on my device - that support RFS.

RFS is reported to be FAT compatible, in fact i was able to extract files form BML12 - aftre some editing - with MagicISO. I suppose that this SW read it as a FAT12 partition - or at least, I found a valid FAT12 heder.

This method does'not work with BML13 and BML14, thas seem to have many FAT12 section in it - but each unreadable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

... continue in [post 24] - with Doc_cheilvenerdi.org great contribution
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Akath19:
No worries man, I'm also really interested in learning and this is a much better way than just downloading and flashing files.

Anyways, on to the discussion:

Well if the apps are odexed, they won't work (not even if you install them), 'cause you'd need to deodex them first before trying to install them (learned this the hard way while theming my stock Phone.apk)

For the other apps I guess trying on a case by case basis would be the answer, give me a list of the apps that don't work I'll try to figure out why.

Personally I don't use TB, I think manually saving apks and configs works better, also I've heard numerous horror stories regarding TB.

What I do in order to keep stuff after a wipe is, I make a small CWM flashable zip that has all the info that I want to keep, and I just flash it after wiping.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
:cool: This is really what I expected from this 3d !!

I'll post the list of the removed apps... but need to wait for it since i'm without phone and - don't ask too much to my memory - i have to re-check the ones loading.

Good ... else - i do not want to use CWM - i was unable to prepare update.zip for original recovery. This could be another discussion...

this is also my guess.

-->> and now the important part... <<---

I tried mounting with loopback - my experiments are slowly migrating to linux - but it works only for STL12 /system. It doesn't work for others, nor splitted parts - they result in unreadbles files with unreadable filenames.

:confused: Does'n work even with bml5 ... but i probably have a corrupted dump, since after that - by reading STL5 - the phone is gone...:(
