[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I don't think it has analog (composite) out, since it has a mic input in the earphone jack. look at the earphones that it comes with, see how there is already a fourth section?

I hope I'm wrong, lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I think the jack can be reconfigured/repurposed, just like the iPod.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mr601:
disappointing :confused:, Thanks for trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Maybe so, but I would think Samsung would list it somewhere in the user manual, wouldn't you? Btw, the iPod touche's audio jack doesn't double as a video out, you have to use the 32 prong apple jack.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dyskmaster:
wait, so if I have a 3.5mm to composit cable, a firmware upgrade would allow video output? Or would it be a hardware mod to get it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Maybe not the Touch - but others can do it - http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Audio-Video-Cable-iPod/dp/B000STBSU4

Captivate also has TVout via the 3.5mm jack - http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Sol...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326309037&sr=1-1

Unknown. This thread is speculation so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, maybe it is possible, but I think Samsung would have surely listed it as a feature, it at least mentioned it in the user manual. I think I have a 3.5mm video-audio cable laying around somewhere, I will dig it up and test it, one moment...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dyskmaster:
I tested mine to no avail, but on one tv, I did get the message "This device is unsupported". Most tv's either said no signal or nothing at all. Weird that one tv would recognize it...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yup just tested - no good.

I wonder if you could make a mod, but I am 99% positive it needs hardware. To bad, I wonder why they took the HDMI out of the U.S and EU versions in the first place? I would have payed a little extra for it, if necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
If the cable was intended for an iPod, it may have a different pinout that caused the TV to see one of the audio outputs as video.

Edit: iPod AV out cables and Captivate ones should be the same, from tip to sleeve:

Left, Right, Ground, Video
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
If they didn't have time, motivation to enable some feature, they won't list it even if it's possible, otherwise they'll get lots of returns with people complaining that such and such a feature doesn't work.

I suppose the thing to do is check the jack driver, which I seem to remember seeing somewhere (certainly there was an entry in the sysfs afair) and see whether it either shows how to enable TV out, or whether we can then workout what the chipset is that controls the jack.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Take a look at /sys/devices/platform/s5p-tvout looks like a good place to start!

Edit; Now here is what I don't get; if the fourth connector of the audio jack can be for a mic or a video out, how does it know the difference between an inline mic and a video out cable to decide what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Okay, here are all files/folders I found while browsing with root explorer. I simply copied and pasted it all and here it is. My thoughts are: 1. these could simply be files generic to all android roms and may not mean anything (I think this may be the awnser since I also saw some files about nfc, witch I know we don't have). 2. these could simply be files that were ported over from the original Korean version, witch had video out. 3. These files could indeed be for video out via the 3.5mm jack.

Look at the files and tell me what you think. I am. completely new to Linux, and to programing in general, so if someone who knows what these files mean could tell us that would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Probably depends on whether TV Out is enabled.

This may be simply a matter of commenting a removePreference() smali line in Settings.apk - but I don't have a cable to test with yet. There is definitely some TV Out stuff in the firmware, it is unknown whether some hardware is missing or of this is like NFC on the I777 (just minimal disable efforts done for unknown reasons.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Just tell me how/what to edit and I will test as I have a cable.

Edit; I just tested my cable with a continuity tester, and the order from tip to cable is video, audio left, audio right, ground. So I can't test it, but post either your modified settings.apk and/or post instructions on what/how to modify so someone who has the right cable can test it. Also post your model number and firmware number so we know if it is safe to use on our devices or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
I own a galaxy player 4.0 and downloaded the tethering shortcut app and the stock tethering features found in the phones do work on the player. I think if the tv out settings are hidden like the tethering features, couldn't an app like the tethering shortcut be created with the difference that it modifies the tv out settings instead of the tethering settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Possibly - for me it's easier to just smali Settings.apk. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Wholly cow! I just figured out how to get to tvout settings completely on accident! Get widgetsoid (the best app ever, btw!) Make a new switcher, go to shortcut, application, check the "show all activities" then go down to TV out! Easy as that! Please someone with the correct cable test to find out once and for all if we have TV out! Please list what player and cable you have!

Further examination shows you can access any options previously hidden! Including lockscreen wallpaper settings!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
I own a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1)

I just tried this using my 3.5mm to RCA Video (Mono Audio) cable with both NTSC and PAL on my TV, and it did not work. I think I may need to use an 3.5mm to AV (Stereo). This cable has 3 bands on 3.5mm plug instead of 2. We'll see if it works then.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
No, it should have three (four counting the ground) However, the order of the rings must be from tip to cable:

|----|-----|-----|-----\ /_ (tip)

|----|-----|-----|-----/ \

4____3____2_____1

1 - audio left - white

2 - audio right - red

3 - video - yellow

4 - ground - Shield

You can make sure that your cable is correct by using a continuity tester.

If your cable is like this:

|----|-----|-----|-----\

|----|-----|-----|-----/

4____3____2_____1

1 - audio left - white

2 - audio right - red

3 - ground - Shield

4 - video - Yellow

Then try shifting the cable out one pin, to line the audio right band to the video pin, then plug your red plug into the video (yellow) and see if it works! Info on pins found here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741542

Also, just try putting the red and white plugs into your TV (yellow) input on your TV. There is no standard for these cables:rolleyes:

Edit: Oh, I see what you are saying. Yes that cable will not work, you need the one with three bands (our four counting ground.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Another way I got more settings was using the settings.rar here:

I pushed the settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk to /system/app/ and now I can access tv out settings, tethering, and wallpaper settings. I don't have a composite to AV cable so I can't try tv out though...

Now we need someone with the cable...

Edit: that's weird klin1344; When I tried that it just crashed, Tried it again; same result! Oh well, as long as I can get to the settings I'm good!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Did you copy both settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk? I used adb push, and but if you used root explorer make sure that you set the permissions correctly.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yeah, I used root explorer, changed the permissions though, weird. I don't have regular access to a PC, but next time I do I will try adb. Anyways, I thought I remembered some people saying they had the right cable, but no one is showing up, bummer. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Oh yeah... I just remembered that I'm running a deodexed ROM, so that may be why it doesn't work for you. If you want to deodex you can use dsixda's kitchen, and it's pretty straightforward.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Browsing around, I am pretty sure an iPod cable has different pin assignment. We need someone with a cable that would work for a galaxy s. I read Nokia cables work great, if someone has one of those! Unfortunately, someone might have to buy a cable if we ever want to settle this. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Whowantstobeme?:
So, has anyone tested this? I want to know before I get my galaxy player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
I loaded the fmradio apk from the galaxy s I9000 on to my galaxy player 4,0 and it does work and rds also works. The reason I think the player has a composite output is the fm radio would not turn on with tv out enabled.

I don't know if tv out works because the cable I have has a different pinout.

with tv out enabled. top shows that tvoutserver is running
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, that's encouraging! The last uncertainty must be hardware, but no one has the cable :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SoundOFKhaos:
Any word on this? I want the Player 5 so bad but am put off by the no TV out this far. I don't care if its analog or HDMI, just want TV out on my PMP.Any luck yet on getting it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, no one has the cable and no one wants to dish out the money for one to test it. I am kinda doubting it works, because I have a AV cable that should work if I pop it out one pin and use audio left as video, but I get nothing. I am hoping that is only because the cable isn't compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SoundOFKhaos:
I'm a bit of a noob with the new PMP's and such, would you be able to provide me a link to the cable, its looking like I'm getting the 5.0 very soon and I would be more than willing to try it and post any results. There are only a million cables, Don't want to get the wrong one. Thank you.

EDITED: quoted something that shouldn't have been.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
As seen here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22639298&postcount=29

You need a cable with that pin order. Nokia cables have been confirmed working by galaxy s owners, or you could just get one made for the galaxy s to be safe. Here is samsung's official cable; http://samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECC1TX1BBEGSTA#reviews

You could probably get one for way cheaper off amazon or eBay. As long as it says it supports the galaxy s (gt-i9000, captivate, etc.) it is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SoundOFKhaos:
Thank you. In about two weeks I'll have the player. I get and try the cable and let you guys know how it works unless some one else beats me to it. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
don't forget to use widgetsoid to add a shortcut to the tv-out settings on the homescreen since the tv-out settings are unavailable through the stock settings app.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SoundOFKhaos:
Yes I will. Thank's
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] spchtr:
Just wondering how this turned out. Did it work for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:

[Nook Color General] Blue44deuce:
Bought a Nook Color (blue dot). Rooted and installed CM7 7.1.0-encore. Kernel is 2.6.32.9. Downloaded Nook Tweaks. Followed Moshe's instructions for connecting USB devices to the Nook. Using a powered USB hub. I also have the male/female adapter that verygreen referenced in his thread. Downloaded Root Explorer. No dice.

The Nook does not recognize any USB device. Please tell me what I did wrong or need to do differently. Thank you!!!
[Nook Color General] Blue44deuce:
Anyone? Please?
[Nook Color General] e.mote:
USB host aside, the (micro)USB port puts out very little power. For most micro types, the nominal power output is 100mA, which isn't enough to power most USB devices, including most flash keys.

Self-powered USB devices will work. I had some 1st-gen iPod Shuffle that worked, since they're battery powered. Also an unpowered cardreader. I imagine that devices connected to a powered USB hub should also work, although I didn't test that firsthand.
[Nook Color General] Blue44deuce:
Thank you. From what I've been able to glean, a powered USB hub will allow non-selfpowered devices to be accessed/mounted by the NC. But I can plug in any USB device and it never gets ANY acknowledgement by the NC.

I read somewhere that an app may be interfering with the USB host mode.

Should I attempt to wipe downloaded apps off of the Nook? Should I just try a full wipe/format/reinstall?

Any insight would be appreciated. I've tried to find anything that I missed. But I'm running out of ideas.
[Nook Color General] e.mote:
From what I've read, success rate with powered hub is itself spotty. It's kind of hit-and-miss.

First thing is try w/o the hub to remove it from the equation. The techsupp mantra for troubleshooting is to minimize your configuration. Your variables are then the Nook itself, your software OS config, the cable, and the device.

Assuming the first two are OK, then find an eligible low-powered device like certain card readers, or a keyboard, or a self-powered device (some MP3 players with USB mass storage), or a HDD powered by a Y-cable connected to a laptop. Second, find a different micro-USB cable if none of the above work. Last, find somebody close by with a CM7 Nook to compare if all else fails.

Once you have at least a known-good setup, then expand from there by trying new periphs, like powered (or non-powered) hubs, et al.

I'll assume the obvious that you've enabled Host Mode in Nook Tweaks, check your /mnt/usbdisk, only FAT16/32 format and no NTFS, no multiple partitions, etc.

Good luck. If all else fails, you can wait for the CM9 with built-in host mode and see if that works better.

Can you specify what exactly you did? which hub?

Hello everyone, first a huge THANK YOU to all the developers and contributors! A wealth of information here!!!

I have searched and searched and searched the net all over and can't find a solution (other than having people resend the email as plain text) to view certain emails with attachments from people sending via Outlook. I get the winmail.dat file. Yes, it seems there are many viewers available for all platforms other than Android. I am sure if someone made an app for viewing winmail.dat files on the Android OS that they would make a good amount of money :)

Even the iPhone/iPad has a viewer: (well, since I'm a noob, I can't post a link, but its on the iTunes App Store called Winmail File Viewer

I'm actually in the process of replacing my laptop with a Xoom tablet. I can do almost everything I could on the laptop, but this is one of those "argh" things and in my searches, I've found many people searching for a solution as well.

So, my questions are...

1- Is there something out there for Android to view winmail.dat and I just missed it?

2- Would someone be interested in making a solution?

Thank you for your time.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Why do you wanna deodex ? It'll kill performance
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
And the reason there are many RAM scripts is because not everyone uses their phone the same way. Some people need a specific value for lowmem.

Other than that, slaid's script doesn't only contain a RAM script, but also build.prop tweaks and such. Combining it with TurboCharger V8.5 from GadgetCheck is said to boost the performance very significantly.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilgrass71:
The evo shift is a little bit harder to scan for readable memory addresses. I did it by starting with a memory address block and expanding in the upper region and lower regions until it reboots. The reboot is when you scan an unreadable portion of the memory. There are three readable blocks of memory address on the shift and it varies a little bit with each shift. Its best if you do the trial and error scanning until you have the three blocks written down then look for the esn and meid to zero out to reimput the meid that is printed on the back of the phone back into the phone to fix it.

I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on splitting a single package ROM into 3 parts and vice versa. The reason I want to do this is because I want to keep the Modem and CSC of the UK ROM but want the software of a 2.3.6 ROM which does not have the XEU CSC. I have done 2 days of searching and researching without any luck.

I have also looked for the alternative of the latest 2.3.6 Gingerbread Firmware in 3 parts to flash in Odin with no luck whatsoever. Therefore, being able to split a file will help me hours of wasted searching with no results. This information does not seem to be available anywhere and I am pretty sure it would help others. I have also tried ROM Packager but I do not think that it is compatible with the s5830 or the Firmwares available at SamMobile. Thanks in advanced.
