[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
I just wonder why Archos G9 supports all multimedia formats with the same processor as our Kindle Fire.

We can watch MP4 video without any problems up to 1080p.

MKV format can not work in HW mode.

I think the problem is due to lack of video codecs in the Kindle Fire.

Anybody can pull them out of the firmware Archos G9?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
no one interested in this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yumcax:
The issue isn't the codecs. The issue is the HW decoder. I can play 1080p video on my KF ICS with MX Video Player, using the software decoder.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
You can, but with horrible lags and 5-10 fps right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] omgz:
I like this idea. Why not try it out, we've got nothing to lose. :D Maybe kindly ask in the Archos forum for someone to upload them?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
this is not so easy... we need developers help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] omgz:
You asked around in the Archos threads? What did they say?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
Doesn't the G9s use the 4460 instead of the 4430? If so it's no wonder the hardware decoding is different. :confused:

*Wait, seems IVA3 can decode 1080p for both...difference is only in 3D...might look at this later.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
What's the difference between the TI OMAP 4430 and TI OMAP 4460? Both the processor hardware can play 1080p. Yesterday I tried mp4 file with a resolution of 1920x1080 - he played without any lag.

The only difference is that the 4460 processor can play back 3D video in 1080p, and 4430 only 720. This is the only difference between these processors.

Archos specifically sold its codecs to support AC3 audio. Arcos independently developed codecs for their devices.

I tried to find firmware for the Archos G9, but I found it to extract the parts I could not, that would see what files are responsible for what codecs ..

We just need to find a way to add these same codecs for mkv. The hardware can play our processor such files.

After all, even the Chinese tablets are capable of playing 2160p in mkv format, so what our device worse than they?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Step1Mark:
Correct me if i am wrong but if i am not mistaken the videos canbplay back in software mode. That would imply that decoders are in place but the hardware decoder isn't working yet. The ICS build for the KF is still under development ... just wait till there is a actual beta build if you need video playback. If you have been following any other CM9 alpha builds you would see that gpu decoding has been a large hurdle but they have been making a lot of progress. ICS on KF just got sound and YouTube playback within the last week. Jackpotcalvin has made a lot of progress on the KF but he is going through some personal life problems ... I'm sure when he has more time that he will get ICS's video playback working. In the mean time use cm7 with the ice cream sandwich theme for cm7. ADW EX launcher runs great and has some pleasant themes that look great on cm7. Also add an ICS tag to the thread topic.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
so you think that Android 4.0 will support more formats than MP4?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BraveSoldier:
1080p - with ease ;P

lack of codecs guys?! - try to use MX video player (commercial ver.) or Mobo player (freeware & support additional codecs as XVID etc)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
Are you serious or what?

These players can play avi Divx, Xvid only in software mode, with terrible lags at 1080p. Unpleasant to look even 720p. While the battery is still wildly discharged.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BraveSoldier:

^---cut

Full HD 1080p30 multi-standard video encode/decode

Programmable DSP provides flexibility for future codecs VTC 1080p30

---cut

this is in HW mode, but also video in SW mode KF plays with good speed! it depends only on the player for now.

I tested on video with:

Codec ID: XVID

Bit rate: 4 089 Kbps

Width: 1 920 pixels

Height: 1 080 pixels

Scan type: Progressive

at present, players so far from perfection ;p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
We really need BSPlayer or DicePlayer support... This players can play 1080 HD mkv video by hardware decoder. But for now both players don't work on Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Please don't take this the wrong way (some get defensive when things about their device are questioned) but what's the point of having 1080p video playback on a display that can't even do 720p and on a device that has no video output? I just always wondered what the fascination was, because a 1024x600 video is going to look the same as that 1080p video on a 1024x600 display.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] N23:
the advantage is that you don't have to re-encode your existing video data...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tex321:
Once someone implements a USB host it might be useful, but as it is now with a limited screen and limited storage I don't think this is a priority for much people. A 720p, or even 420p video should be more interesting for now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kls2k:
Hello,

Can't we just spoof an omap 4430 device that has HW video decoding in BsPlayer/DicePlayer? Does anyone know how to do this?

I know for example that Galaxy Nexus has omap 4460 and that is very very similar regarding hw video decoding to kindle fire and it is supported by DicePlayer.

Any thoughts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] g1no23:
The Archos G9 standard has a 4430 and the turbo has a 4460. Our resident dev for the Archs is surdu_petru.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
Since I live in Switzerland and thus don't have anything to do with AT&T I've been looking to replace that rather "meh" stock AT&T-bootanimation.

I've been looking for a worthy replacement and stumbled over a few Portal-inspired animations. I decided to stick with that theme but haven't really fond anything suitable. What I've found however is this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhUknTxm1SA

which basically inspired me to create my own animation in a similar style...

previews:

I've also packed all the motorola-stuff in front of my animation, so only the AT&T part was replaced...

Suggestions would be much appreciated :p

PS: I'm aware this thing is quite the monster but be aware that it is an already heavily compressed version :D

Oh, and one more thing, dawg: I heard you like zips, so I put a zip inside your zip so you can unzip while you unzip...

Anyways :) The bootanimation.zip is inside the attached zip and needs to go to /system/media/
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Thanks, it looks great! However I think I'll stick with my boot animation of Andy blowing up a silver Apple ;)

Also, if you really want to compress it, then use the free application 7zip (for windows). I can get it down to about 4 mb using the .7z format.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
When I wrote compressed I was referring to the images inside the zip ;) The original used losless png-files and ended up being bigger than 20MB :p

Rest assured I was using 7zip to zip the zipwise uncompressed bootanimation.zip which was apparently just a little too big to upload :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sillk04:
Where can I get your boot animation?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Just made a thread.

+1 for Widgetlocker. I've been using this app for over a year and have loved it the whole time, except when they introduced a bug that nuked the battery of my Bionic and Photon in 4 (FOUR!) hours.

this is the awesome browser by amazon in their kindle fire. the interface is very very very polished.

download the zip from http://www.multiupload.com/7ISQD7B02H

pace the libs in the lib folder into /system/lib and set the permissions as 6-4-4

install the apps in the app folder normally.

now copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app and set the permission as 6-4-4

reboot.

enjoy a great browser.

Silk brower sucks because it is always active in the background so it's a battery hog.

android apps are actually designed 2 be alive at the background in a cache,ready for u 2 use it when u need. the silk browser IS actually a battery hog, but it is having a very nice intuitive interface that i like and thot of sharing. :)
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
You didn't read carefully what I wrote. I've said that silk stays active in the background, not stopped like everything else when you don't use it.

Also it's worth mention that after locking the screen silk goes in to inactive state. So it's only active till you lock your screen, on next unlock it's inactive (not like for example stock music app from v20n which is active all the time).

edit: nope Silks wakes up randomly there's no pattern

aww...i feeli should uninstall the silk then??...buggy,eh???

[Dell Streak 7] michaelcrossland:
OK if you all don't know as to what Dev forum post I am talking about here it is. Android 4.0.X for Streak7 [WIP]

Ok now that out of the way, why I am posting this here is because the 10 post rule. And as I have been a member for a bit now. I have not needed to post anything because the look and read thing has got me all the info I needed.

So I am posting this here in hopes that someone in the dev forum may see it and help.

I am running the B3 and everything work ok. Outside of the cam but hell I never used that thing ever. But what I have found is that even thought it has SuperUser installed on it I can run RomManager just fine out side of it not flashing a working Recovery but that's cool. I can do that with fastboot. And Tibackup works fine.

What i have hit when I use any Root File managers when I try to mount the file system into R/W it fails and then says I don't have root. What's the deal is it a real "Root" on this beta or it more like a Admin account?

Because when I try to ADB trem into it at the recovery it will not remount the file system as r/w only can do that on the SD Card and the user space. 2nd thing I have found is that things like the weather under ground app in the bar does not load at start up. And the last thing is that the brightness will not auto set it's self no mater where I move the slider to that recheck that. But the brightness bar it's self does work just not the Auto part.

So I hope one of the devs or something can post there could cross link to this post thanks.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Would have been better to post this in the actual thread about it.

Its not a problem with su, thats right just fine, its mounting system that is the issue.
[Dell Streak 7] michaelcrossland:
I would have if XDA did not make you have to post 10 times to post in a dev forum. So I see that some people still sees what they want and discard the rest. As I said in the first part of my post that was what I would done if I could have.

As for this part I was not saying that Superuser was massed up. I was just pointing out that most of the Superuser ie. root stuff can be done. Here is what makes something an Admin level in *inx or System ie Root or god. Is that in admin you can do all most everything you can with Root but some low level file system stuff can't be done with an Admin level account. Where as Root you have full god like control of the whole OS. So you can kill you whole system by massing around at that level.

But thanks for posting.

I'm on Calk's 2.6 right now, but I don't want to flash the latest version since the CRT animation was removed. I really like it. :P

So question is, will flashing the EL29 modem update the Bluetooth stack also? I've seen where the latest stack improves sound quality, which is a major issue for me on EL13. I'd like to keep my current ROM and just update the modem if that will solve my problem.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
Yes, you totally a noob... But that's not a problem.

.ops file is nothing but cooper.ops that you should load there (it is used to detect you SGA in ODIN).

Regarding to KPB, if the file you have is a OnePackage then you should select One package and load it at the end of the window. It goes kinda like that...

Anyway check HERE ... There you can find good content about what you want to do.

How to browse files on phone via win 7 explorer.

I use wifi router which has my computer connect via lan cable (wired connection) & other computer/laptop & phone connected via wifi.

From the phone using es file explorer I can surf the lan on windows 7 computer but I cant surf the files on phone from win 7 explorer, it does not even show in devices connected (using usb connection it shows) so I assume that something else needs to be switched on or connected, can someone tell me what do I need to do so I can browse phone files via windows explorer?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
if you have an sd card in the phone and the drivers installed, you can browse the files on the sd card via usb connection. if you're trying to browse ROOT files (which you forgot to mention), the only way to see root folder files on your computer is to install android commander and follow the instructions. google it, and good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Do you want to browse your phone files through wifi? There are multiple ways:

1) connect to your phone through samba. Install Samba Filesharing and you'll see the phone in your network.

2) connect to your phone through ftp. Install one of the many app in the market, like this or a file manager (many of them allow you to share folders through ftp or even http) and in windows explorer simply type the address shown in the app (ftp://192.XXXXXXX)

3) use airdroid (it will allow you to do also other stuff, like sending sms)

I have been using myphoneexplorer last 6 years & yes its the best what it does but what actually I was looking for was to use windows explorer to surf the files but have not succeeded in doing that.

Using these software both airdroid & myphoneexplorer File transfer is slow 1.6-1.8Mbps so 1gb file takes almost 10 mins time I thought it could be faster if I use windows explorer but seems its wifi limitation.

I use 54Mbps B/G/N wifi router & have class 6 SD card, when I use usb connection the file download is much faster within 2-3 mins for 1gb data.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Transfer files wirelessly is always slower.

Note that the speed you see when you download a file through airdroid (or anything else) is usually expressed in MBps and not Mbps, they are different things. Your router support a max speed of 56Mbps which is equal to 7MB/s. That said, 2MB/s is not that bad, you also have to consider that it's hard to achieve the max speed, you need to be near the router.

For huge USB is the best.

(For file transfers I think that the others two method are better, airdroid is not so confortable.)
