Working container / video / audio combo and easy conversion

I've tested several combinations of container / video / audio formats with several players. First of all, I didn't notice any significant differences in playback quality between the players I tried, but I might not have tried Dice player for all of the combos.

I did try MX Video Player, mVideoPlayer, MoboPlayer and BS Player Lite, with a 720p h264 encoded video track at about 3000 kbps. For all players, I found the SW decoding modes to insufferably slow and jerky - I assume a lower bitrate in the video track might fix that. Per hardware acceleration, the video always played fine (when it played at all, see format details below).

These combos did NOT work:

mkv/mp4 container, h264 encoded video, mp3 audio

mkv container, h264 encoded video, ac3 audio (plays the video hw accelerated, but doesn't play the sound at all)

mkv container, h264 encoded video, aac audio

The only combo that did work flawlessly was this:

mp4 container, h264 encoded video, aac audio

I now had the problem that my standard video encoding tool, handbrake, cannot transcode files without also recoding the video file - and why would I want to recode the video when usually it's a h264 encoded video that will play with the right container & audio? The easiest way to transcode such a file is to use ffmpeg - I did this under linux, but it should work the same for Windows:

ffmpeg -i INPUTFILE.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec libfaac -ab 160k -ar 48000 -async 48000 OUTPUTFILE.mp4

I couldn't figure out a way to easily transcode mkv files where the video track has a variable bitrate (VFR) - I had to recode those with handbrake. If anyone has a simpler method that doesn't involve avisynth / is available for linux, I'd be happy to hear it.

DicePlayer rocks. I tried various apps but only did DicePlayer works. Tested with a 1080 h.264 movie and the quality was STUNNING! Definitely worth the money :-)

By the way, Honey does not support H.264 natively so most of the players out there won't work

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalgout2003:
OK, I've searched for information about this and found little, so if there is a thread already please point me to it.

My battery life has been terrible of late. According to my phone, WiFi is what is pulling the most battery (about 56%). I never really had this problem before switching ROMs. Before I had the problem, I was running z's FreeXperia 2.2 ROM and could get two-three days of battery life without turning WiFi off. Now I am running Wolf's V6 and have to charge my phone every night to keep it from dying. I've tried the battery calibration app, wiping battery stats, and the battery life guide. This problem has occurred with all my 2.3 ROMs that I've flashed, so I know it's not the ROM itself. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking I will use PC Companion to repair back to 2.1 then flash back to 2.3. My hope is something messed with WiFi during previous flash. Anyway, I thought I'd check here before I went flashing my phone to death again.

Also, I know someone will say 'just turn off WiFi,' but I don't have unlimited data (thanks AT&T) so I keep my WiFi on so I don't run up my data usage.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acerulz:
Which kernel ru using for wolfs Rom the stock or custom ...i think stock kernel gives a better battery life compared to the custom...and which all kernel did u try for his Rom
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalgout2003:
I'm running the stock kernel. I've figured out that WiFi isn't the problem. I switched WiFi to be turn off when phone shuts down and that helped, but it's still terrible battery life. I had it fully charged last night before I went to bed. I used it lightly before going to sleep and woke up this morning at 81%. No reason the phone should be draining that quickly. Now cell standby is 39% of battery usage and phone idle is 32% of usage. WiFi is down to 20% with new setting. I guess I need to learn how to do screenshots.

Right now I'm thinking something must not have happened correctly when I flashed the baseband/kernel, because I've tried every piece of advice on this forum. Will reflash back to stock and start there. Will report back to say if that helped.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
I have the same issue but right after installing fb 2.0, before that it was awesome
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalgout2003:
Just an update on the "problem." I flashed back to 2.1 then flashed Wolfbreak v6 twice to try and solve the problem. I also didnt do a full restore on one flash hoping to figure something out. Finally, after having my phone freak out on me, I decided to flash the stock x10a 2.3 firmware. Battery life is back to pre-wolfbreak levels. Wondering if the whole x10i vs. x10a is causing a problem as wolfbreak's rom is for the "i" and I have an "a"

Running FPS uncap on stock rom and it performs well for me. Satisfied for now...until ICS rom ;)
[Xoom General] mariojp:
Does anybody have an issue with their camera frames per sec dropping? It happens whenever I'm in light or when I have flash activated. It just happened out of nowhere. I did a factory reset and the problem still occurs. Any help would be great. Thank you.

first off, really new...this is my first post here.

I don't see the options. I am in the JKay app what I have is the following titles for option:

1) Lock Screen

2) Lock screen actions (long press for icons)

3) Lock screen wallpaper

4) Lock screen options

5) Miscellaneous

6) Phone options dialog

No options for me. I too want the simple look.

If it's ok, can you include screenshots?

Yes of is true, NO ATT stores corporate or otherwise here in So Cal got any in either. Best Buys down here got like 5 per store +/-. I also called around within 20 miles on Oct. 4th and found only 1 Walmart that got/had 1 in stock so I rushed right down. Even talking with att retention department on Oct. 4th she looked it up in her system and none of their storage facilities had it in stock either. Online showed a 2-3 week back order timeframe.

[HTC Sensation] HelpMe93:
Sorry guys but i wanna ask a question...

Does HTC Sensation....normal one....not Sensation 4G....

Does it has GG? Gorilla glass? I saw some website....some said got some said none....but it doesn't make sense....cause all the previous htc phones...almost all got GG, impossible Sensation got none......

Any idea?

Thx
[HTC Sensation] n11ko:
Yes, it have gorilla glass.
[HTC Sensation] staymunch:
yea it does, i got drunk the other night and started taking keys and bottle caps to it to test it out, not a single scratch or scuff lolol.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Is there a sensation other than the sensation 4G? I don't know, I gave up trying to figure it out. Some websites say it does, some say it doesn't, when I got my screen protector applied at ghost armor, he said he didn't think it had it, HTC says it does, who the hell knows. But in the day or two between getting my phone and getting the screen protector, using it normally living in my pocket it didn't get any scratches
[HTC Sensation] mart3:
I have it to. But my phone is not from gorilla glas. :P
[HTC Sensation] teXasStorm:
Gorilla glass is a gimmick. I had the original iphone for 3 years with no protectors and never had any scratches. Had my sensation for 4 months and a rivet on my jeans put a scratch on the screen very easily. Only one though
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
Yes and no. This is the answer I have been given, so sorry if it is wrong.

As I understand it there are two versions of the Sensation, the Z710e and the Z710a. The "e" is sold in N America by TMous where they have called it the Sensation 4G. It is also sold in most of the rest of the world where it is just the plain old "Sensation" with no 4G in the name. Same phone, slightly different name.

The "a" is sold in N. America by certain carriers and uses different bands to the "e". So it is a slightly different phone, but I think it is called the Sensation too.

So same phone with different names and different phones with same name. But I may be wrong; and I am certainly confused.

[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Be careful with gorilla glass

All I have to say is be careful with the screen on the sensation. I've only had my sensation for about 2 weeks. I've been pretty careful with it. I have a dedicated pocket for it. I have a case on it but no screen protector. The other day I bought the incipio case and put the packaging in the same pocket as my sensation for about 15 minutes. A few hours later I found a big scratch on my sensation. The sratch is very visible when the screen is on and very hard to miss. I ended up getting a ghost armor now the scratch is almost invisible when the screen is off and hardly visble when the screen is on. I've had many other devices in the past which I wasnt even careful with and they never got a scratch. My previous desire had gorilla glass it never got a scratch on it even though I didn't take care of it.

The htc sensation does have gorilla glass:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Heelfan71:
Are kernels made for specific roms or vice versa ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
It's complicated. There are kernels that only work on ROM's based on the stock firmware, kernels that only work on AOSP ROM's and kernels that work on both.

For now you should be fine flashing any kernel with any ROM since all the kernels and ROMs are based on stock firmware.

Hey guys...I really need some help here.

It seems to me that I'm in need of the same assistance that bestrafer recieved. After messing up my phone to seemingly the point of not return, I did a wipe of the cache, a factory reset and started over. I tried this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248077 and followed the little tutorial made by ciscogee (post 2 - "Cwm red tutorial for ec07 cleanCwm red tutorial for ec07 clean"). It seemed to be successful and all...but upon reboot I'm still only getting to recovery. I then tried doing a restore from backup made before messing up my phone, which also gave me an "installation successful" response. However, upon reboot, I still takes me directly to recovery.

Hi everyone! this is my first post! I hope you can help me :D

I look in others threads and didn't find it.

What I want to do, is save my own ringtones on the telephone memory to able to pick any of those ringtones from the default list.

My phone is already rooted and I use the Root Explorer.

I know that the default ringtones and notification sounds are in

/system/media/audio (/ringtones or /notifications)

the music in the file are in ogg, so I convert my ringtones from mp3 to ogg

I fill all the information of the ringtone (artist - title - etc)

and put the file there. Then I noticed the permissions of the rest of the ringtones, so I changed too. And beside of that, it still not working.

I know that if I create a file with the name ringtones or notification in the sdcard I can see those ringtones from the default list, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to choose ringtones from the phone memory. It's doesn't matter if is not on the default list.

if any of you know how to do that, please help me :D

You don't have to convert the file type from mp3 to ogg,, u just have to put that mp3 file in /system/media/audio/notification or ringtones. (remember to mount system permission as r/w).
