yes, someone can use that option, but it means give up and will never know the solutions... lol.

btw, i only have this bug, so it a waste not to use this newest (and maybe the last from Mur4ik) and i think i kinda solved it.

using zeppelinrox 's 3G TurboCharger seems fixed the issue. i mean it's 50 minutes still my last reboot and i still chatting with my gf in trillian :)

so for those who have this issue, try 3G TurboCharger (dont ask for best setting, i did so many reboots to try those settings one by one, and it may vary for you, and will cause some bootloops too :P ).
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
i just found out something nice (took me half a day)

flash back to stock rom 2.1 (rom that have fastboot) with kdz

boot into fastboot and erase everything (userdata, cache, system, boot)

flash recovery, boot, system images of rc5 rom

reboot into recovery mode and format data, cache,sd card, sd-ext, wipe dalvik cache

reboot

my phone connect to internet just fine, the only problem is it pause a little (longest is about 40 seconds) before sending data again
[GT540 Optimus General] geopapa:
Calls sound problems with RC5

I have the following problem

Sometimes when I receive a call neither me or the caller hear each other.

Does anyone else have it? Should i go back to RC4 or move to ASIS?

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
Same problem.

It can be repaired with my method. Unfortunately it looks like that this method works only on my device:p. But you can always try.

One more thing. I did format with Recovery included in package with ASIS.

You can try this way. :)

Good Luck.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
That happened to me once so I just did a full wipe.
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
And?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I wiped my data partition and then everybody hear me again.
[GT540 Optimus General] geopapa:
You mean "wipe data/factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" from recovery?

Thanks for your answer.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Meaning 'Wipe data/factory reset'. But I usually use:

fastboot -w

On fastboot (which is the same as 'Wipe data/factory reset' on Clockworkmod Recovery).

Remember to backup all apps (if necessary before performing these tasks.)
[GT540 Optimus General] bluefirex:
Hey guys,

I have the same problem (connection cut off), no matter if WiFi or 2/3G. I have RC5 and want to go back to RC4.

I have 3 ZIP-Files on my SD-Card:

update-cm-7.0.0-GT540-MUR4K-signed.zip

update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-signed.zip

update-cm-7.1.0-RC5-signed.zip

First of all: Where do I get RC4 and can I flash it like I did with RC5 without formatting anything?

Edit:

I just used fastboot to erase everything and flashed RC4. Now everything's working again :-)
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
While I was still using HD2, in order to have fully working NAND rom with A2SD, i had to partition my 16gb SD card to 1 gb ext4 and 14.9 gb other.

Now when i got Sensation, i dont need that 1gb ext4 partition, so im asking you, is there any way i could revert it, and what program to use to do it, and how?

Thanks in advance you good people!

i loled with this.

After this you will bring us a Super AMOLED Screen right? or a Dual-Core 1.4ghz, or even a front camera to video-calls, or even a HDMI output?

Noob people...

You cannot record with 5MP because there's a hardware limitation called "X8 was made with a 3MP camera"

You can record with a little higher resolution, but it will probably make your FPS go a little down i think

Resolution is still 640x480

Edit: I gotta say though, the quality improved quite a bit. Specially the audio recording, that improved 200%, fantastic work. Is there anyway that I can get this audio quality system wide? The difference between the audio quality on the video recording is dramatically different from the sound recorder one.

Suggestion:

How about uploading a video on YouTube of this update and without this update. That is the best way to see the difference.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ithunter:
good idea but my upload speed is really Jhoor(slow) so :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hackenhack:
I tested it and it kinda does enhance the video image a little bit and tremendously enhances the audio. I find that the video has richer blacks(not darker, but color has darker blacks) meaning it looks better in my opinion. It has issues when the exposure drastically change kinda lags when panning between light sources. FPS changed to 25fps which kinda sucks, well for me atleast.

here are images and a video so you could be the judge. Video was taken at a well lit room. I have yet to test it in the daylight, tomorrow(my time) maybe.

Don't mind the kitty LOL :)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
Audio quality difference really is astonishing.

Btw I'm further investigating on this and was able to make h264 recording work, with some glitches. Recording is smooth but it's causing phone instability...

NP, I'm on Gingerxperia V10 BTW..

oh awesome, can you tell us about that when its good and maybe you could do something about the resolution.. I really could use my phone as a video cam for when I do some shorts and documentaries.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RodrigoOgasawara:
It worked for me on gxp,m4v file and better sound quality,and bigger size of the archive too!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] yokozuna:
I participate in forum.doom9.org and what I can say:

- the audio will be far better because AAC is a full fledged codec which compresses music very well, AMR in contrast is a codec which serves primarily in telephony. Moreover, according to the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem the improved quality is able to reproduce any sound you can hear (of course it is limited by the mic and/or speaker and/or your hear). The standard settings can only play human voice or so. The sampling rate is only 8kHz, which means that the spectrum is limited to 3500 Hz or so. Something like you wanna sing to your friend using plain telephony :p

- the video should also be better but not so much as the audio. The data rate is really overkill and could be lowered but anyway the codec does not limit the hardware. What is important the quantisation method has been changed from H.263 to MPEG-4 method, which means that the video should be sharper. H.263 is good for low bitrate videos, and gives video which is soft or "cheesy", but without visible artifacts. In higher bitrates the MPEG-4 matrices (I write in plural because there can many of them - the best is VAQ - Variance Adaptive Quantization, known from x264 and newer Xvid codecs).

PS You can safely change .m4v (m4v means mp4 video, m4a means mp4 audio) to .mp4 video comtainer extension if you player has problems to play the video. It is simimilar to the .divx extension - you can savely change it to .avi. Some older software (older Handbrake) also used the m4v extension only, the newer is AFAIR more "standard".

Anyway, the improved quality should not be a placebo effect.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
I'm testing stuff out, but I'm not a dev so I have limited knowledge. I've tried bigger resolutions but they wouldn't work. I think that is firmware (or even hardware) limited.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zephiel:
I have read enough. I'll try this!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] -ReaL-:
I found this "fix" about 2 month ago. you must use 32000Hz and 128kbit/s for better size/quality
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hackenhack:
Just tested a time-lapse app and it seems the update messes it up.. ive not confirmed it yet. I'll try to reset to stock and see if it works ok.

but they found a way to make still resolution bigger right? I don't think its different from video... hmm maybe memory? IDK

LOL try it, its good..

how do you set it like that? could you tell us?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zephiel:
Omfg. The Sound Quality is superb but my video is laggy. I flashed it to GingerCruzt 7.5.

If there is a way to keep the old resolution plus the new audio codec. That would be cool.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hackenhack:
If you read my post you'd know that the resolution is the same.. its just its buggy so it lags.. I only see lag when exposure changes drastically but if the exposure doesn't change or changes slowly... it's smooth...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zephiel:
Oh I get it! Thanks. So it is detecting the exposure that causes it to lag. I'll just wait for an update.

I don't know this kind of stuffs xD
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] IROC_69:
makes video recording laggy use class 4 or above card to record vid
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
So with 4+ class it ain't laggy?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
I just tested 8gb class6 it's laggy!!!!!:)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
It's laggy because the bitrate is overkill.

The ideal would be getting h264 to work properly because it has much better quality in much lower bitrates, since m4v is just a container for mpeg4_sp, which is only a small improvement over h263, not good enough.

I've been trying to make h264 work, the recording itself is very very smooth, but after recording (the second it stops recording, the camera freezes and I get a white screen), basically the phone goes crazy and eventually locks up.

Also, and although the actual codec is h264 (MediaInfo confirms it), no matter what I change the container is always .m4v... Weird.

Maybe it's rom related, going to install gdx17 again to try it out.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
Yep,maybe we will get a fix for this.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
perhaps you should also try default video quality, but with enhanced audio

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dimitrisioa:
Find the file media_profiles.xml that it is in system/etc from your downloaded rom , i see you have Froyobread so you maybe need this : media_profiles.xml

Paste it with Root explorer at system/etc

change permissions

restart and tell me if it worked..

Change permissions to :

[v][v]

[v]

[v]
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
So, realized that our x8 can't handle much. I'm still not too sure why h264 recording makes the phone freeze on higher resolutions and bitrates, but it's probably related to the power necessary to process the videos on those. The maximum I was able to record to record with h264, at a decent frame rate and quality, without it messing up with the phone, was on the 352x288 resolution.

In theory, we can have high quality h264 - 640x480res recordings at 20+ bitrates, because the videos do get recorded and are smooth enough, but unless someone can figure out why it makes the phone unstable and freeze, it's not really a viable option, having to reboot the phone everytime a video is recorded.

EDIT: If any of you wants to give it a try, download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5zmo8l9ddppcypm (it's not a flashable mod). DON'T install if you want to keep your phone fully functional.

Move Camera.apk to /system/app and media_profiles.xml to system/etc with any of the root explorer apps, with the rw-r--r-- permissions.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I can't get it not to lag and delay the audio on the files I modified (I haven't tried your h264 ones yet). I saw wma listed in the script but I can;'t seem to set it. Are we stuck with aac and amrnb? I want to get better audio with stock video recording, but I can't seem to be able to make it.

As soon as I get the first lag, audio gets screwed up
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mikel_0004:
I hope that there will also be an additional feature that allows zooming during video recording... :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] yokozuna:
The recording of the improved video may lag because of two bottlenecks:

1. the abliity of your SD cards to record high bandwidth streams

2. the processor (one core only) can have problems with compressing the video in realtime

Anyway, as I mentioned before the video rate is overkill. The Bits/(Pixel*Frame) ratio equal to 1.220 is a pure nonsense. If you download Divx/XVid videos from the Net you will notice that the ration never exceeds 0.4. Usually they are around 0.3 (these 2 CD ones...). Some codecs like Xvid do not even allow ratios higher that 0.5, even if you use quantizer equal to 1.5 (max settings).

The audio stream is also too high - 150 kbps mono? A half will make no difference to your ears. Take a look at the above videos - they usually are 128 kbps STEREO mp3s. And mp3 is a worse codec than AAC.

I appreciate that someone wants to improve the recording abilities of our x8s, but some steps make no sense at all.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hackenhack:
hey how'd you edit it?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Just open media_profiles.xml with a text editor
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
Wma can't be used, I don't know why its there but its not actually implemented. Anyway, aac is actually better than wma, so we're not "stuck" with it heh.

Did anyone test my modifications to see how they work for you?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goldenr:
:D:D:D

ure completely right!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] yokozuna:
The .mp4 container does not allow for WMA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14

Actually the best AB combination would be for such hardware like x8:

- H,264 Baseline Profile (most probably x264) for video

- Vorbis for audio

...and wrapped in the matroska (mkv) container
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I was only considering wma because youtube is quite retarded with audio formats other than mp3 and wav, for some reason.

I can't seem to be able to enable 2 channels and 44100 aac without the video going crazy (double speed, for some reason)
