[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
You can use this free windows program http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/ to patch video header and make it a standard mp4 that any software can open :)
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
tried this app, but it doesn't shrink size, just convert into AVI, that's all. Thanks anyway.
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
for some reason it can't recognize .mp4 video what I filmed with O3D and tried the other recommended app which turns .mp4 into .avi's and it still shows some error about:

Couldn't find decompressor for format 'H264' (unknown) :(
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
The mpeg4avi program only fixes the video header so any software will read it as a h264 mpeg four video file.

After patching it you can use the new version, it defaults to calling it videout.avi, in any progran to edit it.

If your choice of program can't read it you just need to install a h264 codec like this one at http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/ as that lets virtualdub see the video.

Basically you need a h264 codec, an xvid codec, virtualdubmod and all you do then is....

1. In virtualdubmod choose open file option and load your video

2. For compression choose xvid and set it how you want or leave it at its default setting

3. Choose to save avi. It will reduce size based on your settings for compression.

[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
tnx, it cut size in bout half, but still 700mb for 11min, tried to edit it in Vegas 7.0, but it just recognize only sound, not picture.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Vegas nay need a direct show h264 filter like the free ffmpeg one as opposed to the vfw one I linked to.

You can get hd video down to about four hundred megabytes by trying different settings such as lower bitrate in xvid or setting it to have a quantiser of more than 1. The easiest way is encode a short thirty second clip in virtualdub to test different settings. On youtube some similar length hd videos are as small as 250 mb but it depends on your compression settings mainly.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
changing video moe from full proccessing mode to different would decrease size also?
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
You have to have full processing on. It can only be off for things like converting framerate that do not require changes to the actual video itself. But you should be able to get good results with bitrates as low as 1500 k its just a case of finding compression settings you prefer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccotrisoliere:
Ok this been a problem for me for a bit. When I play music from slacker, tune-in radio, and a local fm radio station app the music plays no problem when the screen is on and in the app. but once I leave to app to go to the home screen to do something else the music doesn't play in the background, or if I try to turn off the screen to save battery while listening it stops playing. But this doesn't happen when i use Pandora, or HTC music player or mixzing music player. With these they work the right way? Is their some kind of fix or work around? I tried uninstalling, and updating these apps with no luck. Back in the wm6 days they had a keep music playing fix to download and install, to keep music playing weather the screen is on or off. any ideas, fixes, or things I should try would be greatly appreciated. Please help. Thxs happy New year.

I checked the Canadian thread and i was pointed towards FS and BB. I would love to maybe get some inside tips as to where else should be getting some in stock at anytime. Hell if theres some in stock right now, ill drop trow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
When I pre-ordered from NCIX on the 23rd, the sales rep told me they were getting stock in the first week of January. I cancelled it because I have one from BB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
isn't most retailers claiming this though?

how is this just not another promised release date like the 19th or 22nd or w/e
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
yea, i called them and they said it isnt a hard release date.

drrr i guess lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
for the Prime right now as far as Best Buy goes, it's a online only product. There haven't been enough tablets shipped from ASUS yet for them to fill the brick and mortar stores with them.

Yep ridiculous. Sony or Samsung would never make a launch as tacky as this but this is ASUS.

Hey everyone,

I'm a new developer on Windows Phone and my first app, myScoreboard, is now live on the marketplace. It is a free scorekeeping app for baseball games. Basically I was tired of going to local games and the scoreboard not working, so I made this app.

I am also developing another app for pace of play for a round of golf. I expect to be done with that one in the middle to end of this month.

Here is my blog (and download link):

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubletssp:
Sorry but I haven't seen this question asked anywhere else. Is it possible to simply root the phone and use all of the wonders of root access (ie free tether and the removal of bloat ware) without having to flash a custom rom that may or may not allow my 4g, wifi, and gps to work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvickers:
um last i knew u could just root it and use free tether. like opengarden or sumthing from the market. as far a bloatware idk maybe search around the forums for sumthing to flash to it. these guys prolly have sumthing lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
You could root the phone and install a wireless tether app and then use titanium backup pro to freeze bloatware

Ok I rooted my phone using unrevoked3 with no problems. I was and am able to use the WiFi hotspot for share my internet with other devices over WiFi (no wires) . Now my cousin just got the evo and want to have free WiFi like me and not have to pay Sprint 30 bucks a month for it. His phone is 2.3.3 so unrevoked3 won't work so I tried for the first time revolutionary. I have the Superuser and it is in s-off,,, but when i go to try the sprint WiFi hotspot I get the message that I don't have that on my plan so it doesn't work. It seem to me that it is rooted, so why doesn't this work like it does for me? Do I need to flash a ROM to get it to work or did I goof something up? Please help me out, I spent four hours playing around with this today and reading different threads on rooting the new way,, all for family but feel like I let my cousin down by not getting him what I said I was able to do. So i need to help of some of the brightest techies on the best forum ever!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
The reason it doesn't work is your trying to use the sprint hotspot you HAVE to flash a Rom to.get the hacked sprint hotspot or you can use a wireless tether app

im getting pummeled by 'wall of text critical strikes' there are to many roms in the sd section im literally at a stand point. im looking for if i recall a bexus stock rom or desire stock rom. i just remember a while ago i saw a post about one. what im looking for is:

.someting stock

.day to day use rom

.STABLE

.and the best flashing method. clk magldr etc.

.SD BUILD only.

thanks for any responses.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
You, sir, are an idiot. The title of your thread itself points out that there are already thousands of these threads asking for the best ROM, yet you decide against all common sense to create a new thread? Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] walidhazem:
I recommend either American Android or tytung GB rom for sd

I think magldr is good depends what u have on nand
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hazeno:
always one arsehole.

and to walidhazem, thanks. the amount of roms available is shocking. and none of the other 'which rom' are about stock roms. going to be keeping winmo 6.5 as my nand rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
This is a lot like asking whats your favorite food, your bound to get many different answers because what i/we like on our ROMs you may not. Every person has their own likes and dislikes about the ROMs they choose so without trying a few your only going by what someone else likes and not really what you may find that you like.

You could check out this site. It lists about every ROM (android) for our hd2 and gives some basic info you can use to help narrow down your search. I sometimes look at the developers signature or others i find give a lot of benifit to the site because i feel they would have a better knowledge on whats a good, stable ROM. Hope you find this helpful.
[About XDA developers] hallstevenson:
Can users turn off accepting of PMs ? I sent a PM to a developer maybe a week ago. When I looked at my sent items, it doesn't show up. Then I imagined I backed out without hitting the right button, maybe I didn't it from my phone and something glitched, etc, etc. So today, I sent a 2nd one. I'm 99% sure... :) Checked and it doesn't show up in sent again.

Finally, I sent a 3rd PM, subject "test", and it also doesn't appear.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Yes you can turn PMs off and alot of developers do do this due to hundreds of pointless pm's
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
A good way to test if they have disabled PMs is to click on their username and choose send PM. If they have chosen to block them, you'll receive a message stating this.
[About XDA developers] cdesai:
And you also need to enable a setting allowing sent pms to be saved (in User CP)

From my fingers to your eyez
[About XDA developers] hallstevenson:
That's what I'd expect if someone has blocked or turned them off. That's any person's right to do so, of course ! I would hope the system would let a sender know too...

Sent from my ADR6400L
[About XDA developers] hallstevenson:
I've never had to enable a 'save sent PMs' option on any vB site. If it's an option, I presume it's already on by default.

I have plenty of sent PMs currently too, so unless it was turned off since the last ones I sent previously, it should be okay.

[TouchPad Themes and Apps] C5Longhorn:
Hi,

I picked up a touchpad when HP held their second firesale. I loaded Android shortly after and have been running Alpha 3.5.

I would like some feedback on what are some must have utility apps for this combination of hardware and software.

So far I have AVG anti-virus, android pro widgets, and adw free launcher. I have downloaded CPU master free but haven't turned it on yet.

What are some other utilities you consideration must have.

Thanks,

Rick
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] ace9988:
hmmm...depends what sort of apps you are after, quick office, adobe reader enhanced email, evernote & skitch for the productivity stuff.

android pro widgets is a good one allows you good selection of widgets to cover the large screen (except email)

if you're after a nice clock HD widgets works well.

Choice (the free will android offers :D ) is yours pretty much
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] justfor4:
My suggestions:

Airdroid for quick access to the Touchpad.

Rom Toolbox and/or Titanium Backup in case you need it.

SetCPU is another option instead of CPU master free.

File Expert is often helpful

Quick Settings for turning options.

bye the way: Quite a number of apps and games are available and are really worth.

You wil find it on the market or also at getjar (m.getjar.com)
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] C5Longhorn:
Thank you both for the replies. My original post was about utilities for the OS and software. Having said that, I'm looking for all good app recommendations.

I have installed several highly praised apps like Evernote, Google Maps, etc.

I was wondering if I should get launcher pro. I'm not exactly sure what a launcher does. Will it include new widgets? Does it also add the functionality to change icons?

Again, appreciate all the suggestions and welcome more.

Rick
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] pbot:
The launcher is really the interface you see and use to launch apps. I haven't used launcher pro lately and last time I used it, it was not being updated. I think most people either use the default launcher, ADW, or Go launcher. There isn't much harm installing each and trying it other that the time invested setting up the screens. Every time you hit the home button, it will ask which launcher you want to use. When you find one you like, check make default and uninstall the others.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
You don't need that, delete it.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] C5Longhorn:
Are you saying a anti-virus app is not needed or there is a better one out there?
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] C5Longhorn:
Good to know. I have the free ADW launcher as it came with the Honeycomb look alike 3D SB theme I downloaded.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
Its not needed.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] C5Longhorn:
What about Advanced Task Killer. That is not needed either, right?
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] domenci:
I would suggest (in addition to what you have, thought I agree you don't need AVG):

root explorer (file browser with root access and built in text editor)

HashDroid (md5 checker to doublecheck downloads were successful)

amazon market (free app a day, can't go wrong with that)

mClock (fully customizable clock widget)
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] sitlet:
Not needed, there are no android viruses.

Absolutely not. Task killers work against how android works, and will actually use more battery.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] Adonis K.:
Ya, it's not like android is the #1 most infected OS for 2011
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] Jotokun:
Not exactly true, there ARE Android viruses (at least, by most people's definition of virus... there are no true viruses but the same could be said for Windows)

However, they're far and few, and you can only really get one if you carelessly install something without knowing what it is. The Android Market shows you application permissions needed before installing for that very reason, for example if a live wallpaper needs to read your contact info then something is wrong.

Ignore the error message about screen size when you install, it works and looks fantastic! I love how the wifi and battery are the same color now, and the notification window is shaded so it's easier to tell when it's up. Also it makes the soft buttons more consistent with ICS.

Hi, this is my first app :

Video Ripper

With Video Ripper, search, play or download videos from popular streaming sites to watch them offline later.

Check the list of the supported sites with the image in attachment

2 ways to proceed :

- Using the search engine : Select one or more site to search from, then launch your search, and select the video from the results.

- Using the clipboard checker : Enable the clipboard checker, then use your favorite web browser to surf throw your favorite video streaming website. Copy the url to the clipboard, and that's it!

Additional features :

- 2 languages : English or French (depending of the settings of your phone). More to come soon.

- Save vidéo files on SD Card (under directory : SDCard/VideoRipper/)

- A lot of additional features and video site support to come

Notes :

- Some videos may need an additional video player (eg: .FLV files .WEBM files...)

I recommend video players such as "MoboPlayer" or "Mx Video Player".

- You need a video site to be supported? Send me a mail, i'll see what can be done

It's a paid app and it's 1,30$ (or 0.99€)

Link to the market :

I don't have the right to post a link at the moment, but you can find my application by using the QR Code in attachment, or by searching VideoRipper (by calaverapps) on Android Market

Unfortunately I cannot see my self on the screen because its aimed to me, and so I'm having trouble viewing my self during the play and also starting the record (I need to search for the red button while somtimes miss and press focus and ruin it)..

I was searching for some apps but found stuffs that not exactly what I ment.

I would like an app that could record with the highest quality of the mobile (720p), and it may display it on my laptop screen in lower resolution [due to lags or stuffs,] and so I could control all the functions by the PC (Start, Stop, zoom, focus..).

Is there anything you might know that could do some of these things? or atleast close to it?

It could really help me..

It's not that I want an older version of ICS. I just want a stock phone that will receive updates on Google's schedule, not Samsung's or someone else's. Right now, I know of no way to order a phone, at least not from a US retailer, and be certain that it will have the Google (yakju) build.
