You can sideload MoboPlayer, which will be able to play almost any video file without the need to re-encode to mp4.

Granted, this will be inefficient use of memory, but is good for quick loading (e.g. I want to copy over a 2GB XVID file before I leave for my commute; just click and drag, then open with MoboPlayer).

If you want to minimize the size (pre-planning), or plan on using it as a streamable file, download HandBrake, pick the iPad option, deselect large files, select optimize for web, and reduce the resolution to 512x???. That 2GB XVID file is now a 200mb mp4 file.

As for Amazon Videos, yes you can't watch it if you're rooted. However, you can temp. unroot very easily with an app called "OTA RootKeeper", and reroot when you need to fiddle around with system files.
[Kindle Fire General] CrackMonkey91:
Yah you can watch your own stuff with out probable

This doesn't send anyone's spidey-sense tingling for spam?
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
I thought new users can't link, attach files, or post in specific places (like development) >.>.

Also, the topic said that there's a deal in here (aside from the obvious misspelling of "here" with "hear").

I don't see a deal. What do I get out of helping you? =P
[Kindle Fire General] addictarmy:
Yes, super easy and no root.

Just download es file explorer from the amazon app store.

Copy video files to Kindle fire over usb.

And navigate to the file using es file explorer.

As long as the video files are mp4s with avc vid and aac lc audio (like when you DL a video from yt) you are good to go.
[Kindle Fire General] matt314159:
Red flag #1 - Misspellings that may indicate english is not the first language.

Red flag #2 - link to video conversion software (this seems to be a common spam topic at other forums)...sidestepped the link by changing it up, so the forum didn't catch it.

I call spam. Creative spam, I'll give them their due.

Anyway that's my $.02...keep the change ;-) Carry on! [/bored at work]
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
Yes sir. I actually stopped, slowed down, reread it 2 times, then proceeded to scroll cautiously down the rest of the thread.

Nearly anything where what you want to do and the #4 is in the url, is a hustle.
[Kindle Fire General] mewshi:
Second the HandBrake suggestion

The HandBrake suggestion is good. If you use linux, it's very simple to use. Never used it on Windows.

In fact, I have a script you can use from the command line to convert things.

for file in $(dir)

do

cp $file "."$file

HandBrakeCLI -Z iPad -i $file -o $file".mp4"

mv $file".mp4" ../

rm $file

done

Save it to somewhere in your PATH, chmod +x the file, and run the command from within the directory you want converted. However, it converts ALL files -- so if you have anything not a video file, it will die. Could be fixed, but it's quick and dirty and I'm lazy.
[Kindle Fire General] mrrush101:
responce

I miss spelled the word on purpose so it would get people's attention.

I posted the info about the link in order to help others who had the same issue and were wondering if it could be done. Not to spam on the forum. I see all kinds external links posted in here why is mine so different?
[Kindle Fire General] matt314159:
heh, I guess I'm the only one then. Fair enough! At another forum I used to frequent, we'd get these random spam posts about video conversion software all the time. this felt off. but if the resulting discussion is good, then I'm all for it regardless.

I downloaded and installed the SD-Booster app and testing it using SD-Tools under 3 different settings , 10 runs each with neutral phone setup.

The faster read speeds, the faster your phone will boot up. Every time your computer loads your Operating System scans your Micro SD card, and more you have on you Micro SD card the longer it will take for you phone to completely load. I am happy with the results and encourage everybody else to try it out.

[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Rom toolbox pro also has sd boost to a little over 4000Kb but I've heard to more your sd writes the faster it'll wear out, so I run the 2000Kb great advice though :D
[Epic 4G General] benjamins_2002:
Yeah, basically SD cards have a life span, just like Solid State Hard Drives(SSHD) for computers do. In fact if you have a SSHD you need automatic defragmenting shut off or it will shorten it's life span. The have only so many writes, but unlimited reads.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
The SDCard write cache is not located on the SDCard...it should be located in the faster onboard memory. So increasing the cache does not mean an increase in data written to SD.
[Epic 4G General] benjamins_2002:
It does make sense that the cache would be located onboard.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Oh interesting... thanks for the info!
[Epic 4G General] benjamins_2002:
No matter what, I did have better faster results increasing the cache using the SD-Booster app.
[Epic 4G General] garyf:
Will SD-Booster change the frequency of i/o errors that lead to force-closes? If the phone is using a larger cache and does not shut down gracefully is it more likely to damage the filesystem?
[Epic 4G General] benjamins_2002:
I have been running it for almost a week now at 2048 KB and I have not crashed at all yet, nor had any errors.
[Epic 4G General] garyf:
I get force closes every two or three weeks anyway, and this seems like the thing that could make it worse. So for now I'm going to pass.
[Epic 4G General] icevapor:
Upping my phone to 2048 was the only way I could get it to record video in 720p...
[Epic 4G General] benjamins_2002:
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I had never heard of it helping video recording.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
This is basicly the same as miui, but based on ics framework, which make it faster and better.

I wanted to bring you this good news XD

[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
I flashed this yesterday, pretty stable and everything seems to work. There are a few things people should be aware of.

1. There is no voice control

2. If you synch your FB contacts you need to go into the FB app and tell it to synch

3. The battery life is so so

4. Make sure that you do a factory restset, clear cache partition, and clear dalvik before flashing.

Other than those things, this is a really nice ROM, very slick, very fast, and seems to be stable.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Questions: Which Kernel to use and does external SD mount correctly?

Also does the ICS hardware acceleration work here?
[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
Honestly Im not sure what Kernel he's using but this is the info

2.6.35.12-gdf10700

pawitp@pawitpmbmp #1

Don't know if that helps any, I was wondering myself if there are any other compatible Kernels that may help with battery life
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
Say I was on (rooted, custom rom Paragon 6) 2.2, I could just stick it on the card and flash over or must I flash a cm7 kernel and then flash rom over that?
[Captivate Android Development] dru1226:
Logic has that captivate I sent you came yet
[Captivate Android Development] M3drvr:
When I click download on that page nothing ever happens. This is on my captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
I too was going to mention that but I forgot
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I thought it is because i am in the office.

I guess not.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Guys use a computer to download not your captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Ashyford:
I'm using Glitch v13.

I would also mention that the extended power menu is missing (i.e. long pressing the power button will not give the user the option to go into recovery).
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I did use a pc.
[Captivate Android Development] Igneouscastle:
The link isn't working. It redirects me to a mostly blank page saying "welcome to Nginx!" that's it, no download.
[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
Here I had it downloaded to my computer and thought it might help everyone thats having an issue getting it. I also went to Galnet to try to get it but there must be something wrong with his downloads, its funny cause it worked yesterday when I downloaded

http://www.multiupload.com/QYNV8ZGAFH
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
U da man U da man
[Captivate Android Development] Igneouscastle:
Awesome! you rock solid.
[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
BTW I know someone asked but I believe you need to be on GB bootloaders in order to flash this ROM, so if you have 2.2 or below find the instructions for getting the GB bootloaders before flashing this ROM or you just might brick.
[Captivate Android Development] gemuse:
Soft brick. Flashing back to stock works after bricking into Galnet MIUI.

Also, OP, do you have anything to do with the Galnet project, or just providing a link?
[Captivate Android Development] panda703:
I'm pretty shocked how smooth this Rom is. I do really like the look and feel to everything. Will report more later once I get to play with it

EDIT: Flashed from Illuminance 2.1 with no problems so far
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Screenshots?

Can I have some screenshots please? I would to see how it is before I flash it. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] vette95:
As for the app drawer, is it slow to open for anyone else? Once it's open it swipes just fine, but pulling down it lags a bit.

Common sense is the least commonly found sense!
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
MIUI Control app

you don't have miui control, or you haveit and that option is not there?

Reinstall MIUI Control apk attached below.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Finally got this installed after about half an hour of fiddling. Coming from KK4, I followed this path:

1. Factory reset/Format Cache/Wipe Dalvik

2. Flash CM7-nightly-181

3. Reboot to recovery, repeat step 1.

4. Flash MIUI-developement-11.25.11

5. Reboot to recovery.

6. Flash this WITHOUT doing a factory reset.

No other path seemed to work - straight form KK4, straight form CM7, through original MIUI without CM7 first even if that MIUI booted successfully - truly bizarre. Not having any problems so far though, not even any FCs on scrolling in the Market.
[Captivate Android Development] M3drvr:
I have miui control. But i have all options except the display headphone one. Weird. Ill try uninstall and reinstall this apk.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Weird x.x in the 1.11.9 version, it would wake up the screen.... I checked my settings and I have the screen wake enabled... Guess that's another bug :/
[Captivate Android Development] edwardng:
GalnetMIUI download link down... Any alternative download link/mirror? Please share...
[Captivate Android Development] mawaisz:
same happend to me here too ;'(
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
me 3!

i just tested the ics sgs port, and after the teamhacksung's built , i want back to miui, but with a taste of ics..but download isn't working 4 me(
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
I'll upload to a mirror once I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] vette95:
Do you mind if I upload it to my minus? I can help that way since I am benefiting from this but have no $$$ to donate.

Common sense is the least commonly found sense!
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Go ahead, since I am not home yet.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] vette95:
On it. Will post URL as soon as its up.

Downloaded off the website today around 11/22/2011 5:00 PM,

Didn't have the Chinese issue, FYI. Just throwing that out there in case that was a turn off for some.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
I thought that it was look a like ice cream sandwich?:confused: All I see is stock MiUI?:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
It's using ICS framework. The look is that hideous stock MiUI look you see. Once I had it booted, I immediately switched back to CM7 :p
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Hey sorry bro, but I'm a bit confused... I look at the screen shots and it's basically stock MiUI, it's not the Ice Sandwich that I thought of?:confused: And also how's battery life on it? Because I was on MiUI 1.11.18 and battery life wasn't really good.:(

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Lol! XD I hate the stock theme!
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I haven't used miui in ages. Aside from battery life, is this rom considered stable?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
anybody know if this has the HW accel fix?
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Yes pretty stable and fast.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
Okay, seriously? How is this falling to 2nd page. This is 10x better than the stock ICS release with only one bug than i can tell so far (messenger force close after MIUI restores messages)
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I'm running this and it is extremely smooth.

This is not full ics tho so without all the cool ics features like the task switcher and such
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
ah yeah, I just noticed that. Isn't a deal breaker for me, anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] beatdroppah:
yeah its running very stable for me, and the battery life isnt horrible. COULD be better, but very suitable for my needs..but im not being nit-picky. just saying, so people get the idea.

i have seen only one problem...upon first flashing the rom, i let everything settle. and went and added my google account. went into marketplace to download TiBu, and upon opening the search window, i immediately got a FC. then i couldnt open marketplace at all anymore. would immediately FC every time i try to open it. i rebooted the phone, and all was well.
[Captivate Android Development] panda703:
Market did hang for me the first time, then without reboot loaded up nicely.
[Captivate Android Development] twoferflinching:
i know this is a long shot but does this support 32gb SD cards?

probably not but just thought i'd throw that out there...
[Captivate Android Development] beatdroppah:
now dont quote me or anything. im no pro, but wouldnt that be determined by hardware, rather than software?
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
My 32 gig class ten works for me on this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
So, can I flash this over a Captivate Gingerbread ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Yes you can .
[Captivate Android Development] beatdroppah:
anyone know of any other compatible kernels that will work with this? the main reason im wondering, is id like to have a kernel with BLN.

Edit: didnt mean to quote you.. lol
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Np lol

You can use other compatible kernels with miui and cm7 like glitch.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Nope exclusively.

Some people have many issues with several 32GB cards with CM7 for example that worked on previous ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Running glitch v13 with this smooth as silk
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
With glitch I bet its sonic fast.

Btw guys expect a new update on Saturday.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
just a few things:

- Beautiful widget's settings would FC (when selecting skins)

- TiBu has problem restoring apps with large apk (sprinkle, samurai ii, etc)
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
A Tester have restored uno,modern combat 2, need for speed hot pursuit with no issue.
[Captivate Android Development] sblees:
It's cool that someone finally had a spare captivate to send to LL!
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Most apps has no problem. Only apps with large apk. Games like need for speed the apk size is not big as it downloads the game data after.

Samurai 2 and sprinkle the apk are quite big.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
anyone else having trouble with FC on the messaging app?

Seemed fine until MIUI synced my old ****.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
I see, you can just download those apps from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Disable syncing your old stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I don't see YouTube in the market. I did however notice when I was on the ics source rom the new YouTube on there has now implemented ad's before the videos. -.-
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Ads are not blocked, you can download adfree from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Google navigation doesn't work. I tried using it and it would get stuck at the splash screen. Then, when I exited, my phone would vibrate continuously until I rebooted. Is anyone else getting this?
[Captivate Android Development] EmmaHAARP:
Bad flash?

I flashed this along with Glitch 13 kernel and the internal memory seems full. I haven't installed anything at all, all apps are system. Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT* Nvm. Bad flash. Glitch has its own CMW, and I used samurai for first flash.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
To make this perfect, look for black ice miui theme. It gives the ics kicks needed.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Nice looking theme :) but it's kind of weird how the lockscreen is in Chinese...

Anyone having problems with random fc in market?
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Yeah, the theme got updated and now the lockscreen is in Chinese but yesterday it wasn't. And about the random FC in market, I don't have that.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
As much as I want to try Ice Cream Sandwich Miui for the Captivate, I'm still waiting for official Gingerbread from AT&T. Unless there is a clockwork mod flashable Gingerbread bootloader zip. And for that matter a Froyo bootloader zip also!
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
that is a problem witn this current version, i tries several things with no luck. I use copilot anyway it works ok
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Man... I tried reinstalling the market apk and it didn't work.. Still fc :/

Seems that it only happens when I start to scroll through the pictures in the application description...
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I am really torn.... I love the smoothness of the rom (trust me this so smooth and gaming performance is top notch, Asphalt 6 has ZERO lag and Shadow Guardian runs great) However, the horizontal scrolling FC is kind of a deal-breaker (can't even browse non-mobile sites...)

TiBu cannot restore any more apps it seems like it has "ran out of space" but there are still tons of space on the device.

I wonder how smooth the AOSP ICS is if anyone can share it would be great.

Probably flash to Apex 11 pb2 for now until this is more stable.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Horizontal scrolling in the web browser? Have never experienced a FC like that, but the stock web browser is clunky and slow anyways. Opera Mobile/Dolphin HD would be a nice alternative :P
[Captivate Android Development] think pad:
smoothly and seem stable but battery drain very quickly, just after 4 hours with few activities: checking email, no phone, wifi the remaining of battery was 45%.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
it seems which ever app that scrolls horizontally would fc. including market as many has reported (when scrolling thru app screenshots)
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Guys this is first release, as more updates are coming up, those bugs will get fixed.

For now, just be patient.
[Captivate Android Development] soblecram:
anyone able to get SIP / voip calling?

On Rogers, tried SipDroid,Briia,Acrobits, etc. all can't register over 3G (work fine on WiFi)
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
I'm by no means complaining. Performance-wise I have never seen anything better (even without oc)

People if you like this rom you should vote it up!
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
Have you tried UV? with 2 hours of heavy usage on the phone (web browsing, texting, iming) my battery dropped from full to 69%. That's comparable to the battery life you get on the Captivate GB roms :O
[Captivate Android Development] argus1185:
If im coming from Apex 10.1, which i think is running JVS GB bootloaders. What do i need to do? can i just flash it over? or do i need to go back to some other bootloaders? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I flashed this from gb bootloaders just fine.
