H.264 is already supported... Sorta... It's not working well because our X8 doesn't have enough power to handle it.

And the reason why wma doesn't work it's not because mp4 doesn't support it, but because there's actually no codecs to handle wma encoding on the phone. That's actually written on the media_profiles.xml file. AAC audio is good enough, and something as low as 96kbps provides excellent audio quality.

Regarding video, I'm testing out between Mpeg-4 Simple Profile and h263, h.264 is really not an option. One thing for sure, in order to have great quality with these two, high bitrate will be necessary.

@Dexter_prog: There's no need for stereo, because although the channels can be split the audio is exactly the same on the two of them (checked on audacity).
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I tried your media file but I got the white screen too. And I also had some lag.

I think it's the audio. I tried the stock video settings but with 128kbps 44100 aac and it still lagged.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
No, the lag is not on the audio, it's the video (i've tried with low (default) audio quality), which requires more processing power than the one our X8 can provide. In fact, the "fact" that simply lowering the resolution to 352x288 makes h264 recording work without a problem, proves this.

I'm close enough to find a happy medium (quality and framerate) with the mpeg-4 SP video codec.

I'll keep the audio at 128kbps AAC, which sounds crystal clear!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Have you tried overclocking the CPU to see if that helps?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
Helps on stabilizing the frame-rate and reduces any lag on the display while recording (though I could only see such in h264, the screen would "drag" while recording but that wouldn't be noticeable on the actual video file).
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Well, that's good. How much OC?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
691 or 710.

Yes it will work on 2.2 ( Tested) And 2.3 ( tested )
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] wielku:
isn't it just the same like if i would just use lgcamera pro which can change those settings and record mp4 also audio AAC?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zephiel:
Is there a revert zip for MiniCM7 latest rom? Or can you tell which system files is affected so that I can back them up. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CKKnot:
Try mine

Try this, its had been modified to best ratio

by me, no lag when recording, playing,

video-audio interleave(either is faster) on

my class 4 sdcard. NOTE: Lower class

sdcard maybe cannot use this tweak at all

because of write speed of the card cannot

catch up with the data is being write into it.

High profile:

Anyway its around 2.8 mbps h264 640 x

480 30fps Vid, 128 kbps 48000 Hz 1 channel

(mono) aac audio and in m4v format.

Low profile:

around 1.4 mbps h263 640 x 480 30fps Vid,

64 kbps 48000 Hz 1 channel aac audio and

in 3gp format.

I have attached as Flashable CWM zip

P.S: IF you have higher class sdcard feel free to go and modified the value that

fit your sdcard speed perfectly. MAKE

BACKUP BEFORE MODIFYING THE VALUE,

AS GOT ONCE I MODDED "EXTRA" VALUE

AND GET SCREW-UP ENDING AS BOOT

LOGO STUCK. OR DELETE THE FILES USE

ADB AND TRY AGAIN

Why 2.8 mbps? system access/sync some tmp, data, etc on your sdcard, so your speed will never get to 4 mbps for class 4 sdcard.

second, our x8 cpu and gpu is way too great :D

EDIT: using fde 2.3, alfs 04

Thanks button are there =====>
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
seems to work ok, good job.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
Guys honestly, the best and easiest solution is simply using "lgcamera". It's independent of the media_profiles settings and works flawlessly with great quality.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] effective:
Can't open the DL source :S can you give us a new link :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I tried it and it produced the same problems that we had here: lag and out-of-sync audio

pls can i get download link for this zip??coz this one doesnt work.. im usin fde 6 stock kernel but the camera is horrible..pls..i need this.thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] alsolh:
Hello,

Is there any way i can view DLNA or PLEX Streams in 3d?

any other software would be fine but the main idea is to view 3d content streamed from my pc rather than copying it to my sd card every time...

is there a way to view smb shares on gallery? that would also serve the purpose...
[HTC EVO 3D] alsolh:
Hi guys, no one replied? i have successfully set up DLNA in my windows 7 pc and now i can watch videos through the gallery application in HTC, however i am not able to view SBS videos in 3d, the view in 3d option is not available unlike playing video directly from SD card in gellery, anyone has a solution??
[HTC EVO 3D] alsolh:
Comon guys, 3d is not possible while playing streams? please help...
[HTC EVO 3D] GODZSON:
Thread cleaned

Hello all,

I've cleaned up for some post in relation of foul language. Please recall this is a community for all ages having fellowship sharing to the world. Please keep on topic, thank you.

OP, Devs maybe entertained working on the next best project to share.. The program you may need to search is for a player that can stream SBS.

Thanks,

G
[HTC EVO 3D] alsolh:
Thank you for your support!

by the way i am able to view videos side by side through the DLNA stream received using windows 7, the only issue is that the gallery in HTC doesn't show the option of "View in 3d", however when you play a video directly from the sd card using the same gallery application of HTC EVO 3d, the view in 3d option is visible...
[HTC EVO 3D] alsolh:
it worked! but a bit time-consuming:

1.You have to add the metadata ":frame-packing=3" as mentioned in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275804&page=2

using handbrake software in the advanced tab:

http://handbrake.fr/

Check out the screenshot for details:

2.You need an SMB explorer that supports remote file play, the only one i found perfect was ES File manager, download it from market

3.configure your SMB file share in ES File manager by adding the hostname or IP

4.Navigate to your video file that you have modified with Handbrake software now it will be forced to play in 3d in any player which support hardware decoding (use MX Player, it is the best! you can even stretch the video to full screen in 3d if you use the hardware decoding mode) :)

But still this method is a bit timeconsuming as adding the tag required reencoding the file which took 30 minutes for a 1 hour and 30 minutes movie.

We need developers to find a way to force 3d mode (might be by modifying the gallery APK to play streams even in 3d) even if the button of play in 3d is not available to play any file in 3d without reencoding which will save a lot of time

Note: Use MX Player! it is the best! you can stretch the 3d movie to full screen and view subtitles (even arabic) with the SBS movie in 3d mode if you use HW decoding which is enabled by default... >> these features i didn't even find in any SBS 3d player in a PC!
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Hey man, I'm trying that frame-packing=3 in handbreak but the encoded file does not play automatically in my EVO 3D. Am I doing something wrong?

Could you ask a more detailed question? I didn't quite understand what you want to do, do you have a DHD from your phone provider with SIM Lock and want to unlock it to use it with other SIM cards from other providers? Did you buy one and are not sure? Do you want to root your phone and get rid of your provider ROM?

unlock using aahk

I currently have aahk installed. by default is my phone now carrier unlocked, or do i need a root util to finish the job ?
[General Questions and Answers] koocha:
Hi

With certain contacts I get a force close on android.process.acore. Here's the log with me trying to open a contact:

I've tried a reflash and all of that, tried fixing permissions, etc. All the fixes from the other posts but the only one that seems to have any affect is the Synching one.

As soon as I sync the error comes back. It's not on all contacts and I can't find a common link between the ones it does it on. Ad suggested on another forum I downloaded the contact information from my google account to check for foreign characters in any of the fields - nothing.

I'm hoping someone can make sense of the log I've posted because it means nothing to me. I'm assuming the errors aren't good, though.

I can view the contacts fine in GO Contacts EX, but what I'm trying to do is have a home screen full of contacts (long press - shortcut - contact) but that uses the stock messaging app so I get a FC when I try and press on one of them.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

(Optimus 2X, CM7.1)
[General Questions and Answers] androidmeda:
I'm experiencing something similar when either official Facebook or Twitter gets synced with contacts. Figured out how not to make FB appear in accounts/settings but I had to remove Twitter altogether.

Looks like it fc's after the acore process tries to view a status post.

edit: a little googling and I found something that fixed my issue, uninstall google+ v2 if you're using it.
[General Questions and Answers] khag7:
I was having the same exact problem. Just started yesterday. Only facebook and twitter contacts (or google contacts who were joined with a fb or twitter contact0 were affected. If I tried to "view contact" the process would close. Uninstalled facebook, problem solved for fb contacts. Uninstalled twitter, problem solved for twitter contacts. Re-installed both, problem came back. Uninstalled G+v2 and the problem went away again, without having to remove fb and twitter. Installed G+1.0.8 off the market, problems do not return. So the problem lies with the difference between having google plus v2 and google plus 1.0.8

Bummer, I really liked the newer google plus interface. Weird thing is though, I've had that version of google plus for at least a few days, didn't have any problems until yesterday :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] androidmeda:
Google should be able to iron out the G+v2 issue. It's packed for ICS and not readily available on the Market yet. That's what we get for being impatient, I guess. Hehe
[General Questions and Answers] hitziflitzi:
I got the same problem but I thought it was my own app which causes this. But after reading this thread I tested to open such a contact within the official contact app and it gives me the same error.

I watched with my app what could be wrong. Every contact with a lookup key in this format (numbers are different for every contact) "59i4437467b8b5ef8d3" works just fine, but contacts with lookup keys in this format "59iaca78960c021dde.3046i100002247854475" don't work and causes a FC with acore.

My app worked with these contacts before. I made a complete reinstall with CyanogenMod 7.1 last week. Maybe this is the problem. I will test this more.
[General Questions and Answers] koocha:
THANK YOU!

Uninstalled it and can straight away access the contacts.

Have some thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
So I flashed the unofficial cm7 build from the dev forum meaning I now have blue Cwm instead of red that I used with s7. What steps are required to reflash s7? Do ihave to use sgs kernel app to reflash kernel then flash s7?

Also I'm having issues restoring apps with titanium. The "stock" app installation screen doesn't allow me to choose install, only cancel. Does this issue stem from not having done a factory data wipe? The thread I read only mentioned to format the system disk but I don't think it was written from the perspective of having come from s7.

Mad props for any help
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Yes you will eventually have to use SGS to flash a kernel. Maybe this is the long way around but when I flashed back from cm7 yesterday I used sgs kernel flasher and followed the instructions for infused gb. When I flashed the kernel it got stuck converting partitions to ext4 (probably because they were already in ext4). But I did a battery pull in the middle and was back in red cwm. After that I flashed infused again without hassle with infusion core b. That being said, as long as you have red cwm, you should theoretically be able to flash whatever rom you want.

So in short : just follow the FULL instructions to flash infused v2. Then flash s7. Hope this helps :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
Thaanks! Will try this if my reflash of cm7 doesn't fix issues....do you think my app install problems are stemming from a previous install?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Hmmm...well out of habit I always personally makes sure I format everything, wipe the dalvik cache, fix permissions and wipe the cache partition as well. A lot of the devs stress that this is necessary so I wouldn't doubt that your app install problems are from a previous install. Something tells me, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that when you are going from a voodoo enabled ROM like infused or s7 to a ROM like cm7 that doesn't use voodoo lagfix, you will have issues with trying to get your apps back because they were using a different (but still similar since they are both EXT4) file system. This is just my guess. If anyone could elaborate more on this please do.

I would highly suggest flashing back to stock if you still experience issues or even ultimate unbrick so that way you can get a clean slate. Maybe try using apps2sd. I own it and can verify that it works well. Many others have also praised it. Good luck! :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
i went and did another install of cm7 before i ultimate unbrick back to stock. i figure out the app install problem; unknown sources wasn't checked...very noob. but the promt at the beginning of titanium caught me off guard and i cancelled before i could read it.

i, too, noticed that my app icons were intact on my desktop after the s7 to cm7 flash but most (if not all) those that did not require root would force close upon opening. reinstalling the app worked, but i had to get them from the market at the time as my unknown sources box was unchecked. also, i've noticed that widgets do not reload after reboot.

one more thing, after the second flash of cm7, i noticed that flashing gapps only provided me with the market. others such as email and talk were available for dl thru the market but weren't loaded from the gapps flash. i tried multiple times to no avail.

i'm about to ultimate unbrick and reflash cm7 from stock. one more last thing, i'm fairly comfortable with red cwm but have only encountered blue with cm7...how do i wipe the dalvik cache?

thanks for the help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
When using TiBu, make sure and restore apps using the "restore all apps with data" option, just did it coming from S7 to MIUI and worked fine.

As far as Gapps go, I downloaded them from the Cm7 wiki and installed them manually from blue CWM just to make sure everything was added and it worked for me.

Dalvik is in advanced just like red CWM, just a different color.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
I've always heard it is a huge no-no to restore all apps with data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
restoringing all USER apps with data is okay but dont include SYSTEM apps with data
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
the "system data" is the no no, and "restore missing apps" is the preferred option, but I've always avoided system data and have been fine everytime I restore.

Been keen for USB/bluetooth controller support (i.e. 360/dualshock) for ages, and I seem to remember it being suggested that ICS would include this feature - but I don't seem to have seen it mentioned since the unveiling.

Is this still likely to happen on non tablets? phonejoy doesn't really do it for me as I don't particularly want another controller knocking about just for my phone...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hobjob:
There's an app on the market called Sixaxis. Assuming you're rooted, give Sixaxis Compatibility Checker a try and see if it works with your rom/kernal.

Unfortunately, if you're running a stock rom it won't work. (Unless it's changed since the last time I tried)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] deezle:
Thanks, but as I understand it you lose it tv out, plus I'd rather stay on stock...

That being said I've just tried the compatibility checker and it suggests that my phone with stock and Siyah is supported BUT I don't have a dualshock to confirm it works? Would it work?
