I have exactly the same issue, but I thought it was on purpose, like that you are supposed to use it in landscape mode.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charmacas:
Hello everyone!

I have a short question and I hope that the answer is also somewhat short. ;)

How do I install a DirectShow Codec that is written for Windows PC's (32 and 64 bit) on a Windows Phone?

If it's possible... please tell me how to do it.

Kind regards,

Charmacas
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken52787:
This is not possible unfortunately. You'll need a program, such as Handbrake, to convert the files into a format acceptable for Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
DirectShow codecs are not supported by WP7, unfortunately. But you may convert files on PC/Mac (as ken52787 said) or stream from PC (personally I recommend you QloudMedia app).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charmacas:
Hmm... you both said what I already thought... Da**

Converting the files is not acceptable. I need to view them straight away. If there's no solution to maybe convert the installation file I think I have to give up. :-(

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, technically WP7 does have installable codecs. I don't know if you could make them work on a stock ROM, and it would certainly need to be interop-unlocked at least, but you could try putting a codec DLL in the Windows folder and adding the required registry keys and values.

That said, it would need to be an ARM DLL written against a recent CE kernel (ideally 6 or 7), not an x86 DLL written against NT. (CE supports a subset of the Win32 API, so just recompiling may not be enough.) At the very least, an unmodified Win7 DLL wouldn't work!

There is one other option: You could write an app that implements the decoding (you said "codec" but I assume you only need the decode half). This wouldn't let you play files through the Zune player on the phone, but it would (in theory) let you watch/listen/whatever to your content if there was a way to get it into the app. ote that this would need to be software decoding, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shardnet:
If you have the directshow codex on your PC, you can trick zune with a registry edit to open the file and directly convert the media file into one that's accepted by wp7.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Has anyone tried both of these ROMs on the Amaze? I've read all 46 pages of the Revolution forum and several Energy. Both look like they meet my needs. But I'd like a good comparison between them.

My needs:

- Close to stock feel/look (like the blue themes)

- Ability to remove pre-installed apps/bloatware

- Wi-fi calling (must have due to my location)

- Better battery life

- A bit snappier

- Free tethering would be a bonus

I've read that some have experienced texting and mms sending issues with Energy and some say that Revolution is outdated.

I realize YMMV, but I'd appreciate a comparison between the 2. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I'm loving Revolution right now... And I ran Energy since the day it came out.

It has the stock feel and way easier to customise. It feels better than the stock Rom I just came from.

They're both easy to debloat and deodexed.

I use my phone so much that I get roughly the same battery life on both.

Both ROMs are very fast and snappy.

I would recommend both... But I'm preferring ARHD right now. :D

MrMako777 points out a good point though in another threas. ARHD is 1.36 build so no WiFi calling, so if u need that, then Energy would be better (although I prefer stock rooted over energy)

[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Do you mean Revolution is easier to customise or Energy?

Hmmm. That's a little confusing. On the Revolution Thread, it says that there is "improved wi-fi calling" (from Post #1, ARHD 1.1.0 release date 19 Nov 11). Maybe since I need to have wi-fi calling, I should go with Energy.

Have you had the opportunity to test wi-fi calling with either one? Any issues (notably, the sending problems with Energy or the lack of capability with ARHD)?

Thanks again!
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Sorry... Revolution is identical to stock as far as UI look... It is built on 1.36 which the stock 1.36 didn't have WiFi calling. I haven't tested it on revolution, but WiFi calling does work on Energy ROM. There's also a modified messaging apk that fixes a time stamp issue with texts.

Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Ok. Now I'm leaning towards energy unless I can get more info on WiFi calling in ARHD.

You said that ARHD is more easily customized than Energy. But Energy can still be customized (wallpaper, ringtones, etc), right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Oh certainly... Wallpapers, Ringtones, Sounds, and even lockrings can be personalized on ALL rooted ROMs... NRGZ28 just has a heavy blue theme on his Rom... On the statusbar icons, dialer, app icons... Etc...

XBoarder has a pretty sick 3.5 ROM also that I'm a big fan of. You can find that at android-dev.us.

Craigtut has an ics themed ROM that is pretty nice also. I can't say too much, but his next update for that ROM is pretty sick :D

I don't mind blue at all. That's actually my favorite color and I tend to update application themes to some kind of blue anyways. May save me some time......

I'll check that out. Do u know what it's called? I'm really trying to stick with stock-like ROMs for now. You say you're a big fan of it; what stands out (say compared w/the 2 ROMs discussed)?

they're soooo many ROMs! I may get more adventurous if this rooting / flashing goes well. I've only done it once b4 and that was with ODIN so it was pretty easy.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
xboarders sense 3.5 rc1.7, great rom (my DD) it's fast, stable, and had great tweaks. though it doesn't leave much room for themes, as m10tools for 3.5 was never well adopted.

for stock 3.0 with a ton of mods i recommend bulletproof 2.5, if ARHD had a current version that would be my go-to as mike1986 is a solid dev.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Good to hear about u liking blue... U will prolly be best off with NRG ROM.

I like the 3.5 (its called Sense 3.5 RC1.7) for it has 3.5 features compared to 3.0... I mainly like the snappiness and loon myself.

Here's what I do. I flash a ROM using 4ext. I backup its stock load. Then I customize. After I have it the way I want and am sure its running stable after I modify it, I do a another backup and delete the old backup. Then I format all partitions (except sd) in the recovery's wipe menu and flash the next ROM... And repeat :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
hmm... i want ics ;(, sure this phone is amazing but a Sense 3.6 would just be sexy,

Sorry... I just had to quote this. :D

It's not everyday someone comments on how about how vibrant and active the Amaze development community was... :D

There are a few others that I didn't mention from HeyJoe and Chrispaw also here, as well as more at Android-dev.us.

We have about 15 roms give or take
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Thanks to all of you for your inputs. I'm going to go with the Energy ROM and see how that goes. Maybe I'll try something else after that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Well, this phone was really easy to unlock/root. The custom recovery has a lot of interesting options--I see how easy it is now to switch between ROMs when you get bored with one!

For those that are lurking and may be intested in my experience (b/c you'd like to try something like this):

- The "How To Root HTC Ruby" was very helpful. for the overall rooting process Post #2 was a bit confusing (I think there are some links missing). I basically went to the HTCDev website, registered, and followed the unlock instructions on the site.

- I used the Clockword Mod custom recovery (as opposed to what was suggested in the above post). A good thing to note is that when installing a ROM it says to do a reset/wipe, the author generally means through the recovery, not the device (I ended up doing both since I didn't know about the option in the recovery).

- Once the recovery is in place, adding the ROM is as simple as downloading the ZIP, copying it to SDcard, rebooting to recovery, and loading the ZIP. If I can do it, just about anyone else can, too! :D

- After installing the Energy ROM, I could not get the WiFi to work. Rather than read hundreds of posts, I did a search on that thread and found an updated kernel in Post #4. Followed the specific instructions and problem solved.

Now that I have been running this for a couple of days, only a few things that I don't like:

- Random reboots. Though I did have them on stock, they appear more often now.

- The HTC Trace keyboard acts much differently than on stock. For example, when swiping some letters, words I've never used pop up and choices that I expect don't appear. I presume it's because NRG customized it for himself.

- It is REALLLY blue. If you don't like blue, this is not the ROM for you! (Did not mean to rhyme that but if works.) Blue is my favorite color so I don't mind it that much. But because of the way he has themed it, some screens appear much darker than they should. Also, within the tray, there is no distincition between background apps (like WiFi calling, JuiceDefender, etc) and Notifications (package updates, email updates, etc) because the theme is so dark.

Overall, now that I've "got my feet wet" with this ROM, I may actually look at others. But this was a great place to start.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I got no reboots with Energy ROM. I've never gotten a reboot (unless I was testing something in alpha/beta stages) on this phone. And if u used 4ext recovery, you wouldn't have had the broken WiFi because you don't have to flash the kernel separately.

Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
i never had any random boots with any rom besides Bliss Sense 3.5 ( My FAV Sense 3.5 but was never released stable :(............
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Maybe I got a lemon device. Though I talked to a t-mo rep who has an Amaze and he said there are occasional reboots.

I may try another ROM and see if that helps but I doubt it will.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
Is that the case for every ROM? Meaning, since I have CWM recovery I will always need to flash the kernel? Do all devs provide kernels? Is the 4ext as easy to install as CWM?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get the right info!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yes... Cwm CANNOT flash kernels in recovery. They have to be flashed with a kernel flasher program or with an app called flash image GUI.

The kernel for the kernel flasher program and/or flash image GUI is ALWAYS located in the ROM.zip package.

4ext is installed the same way as CWM OR you can buy the app in the market and flash via the app. :D

Check the development section for more details
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
wait I thought i doesnt flash kernals on S-ON devices only
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
The Revolution HD ROM says that it requires CWM recovery. But I take it that means I simply need a custom recovery. Since I originally was going to try ARHD that's the reason I went ahead and installed CWM. But I've noticed a lot of forum signatures indicating they're using the 4ext recovery. Does it really make a difference (I'd rather not have to flash the kernel with every ROM--I'd rather install the ROM and just go with it)?

By "development section" do you mean this one or this one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Easier with 4ext... No extra kernel flashers needed. OP says that because when it was posted, 4ext wasn't on our phones.

Even got to try out the recovery as I went to reset the battery stats (used to be able to go 12-14 hrs on one charge; with custom ROM only getting 10-12 hrs). 4EXT does appear a bit easier to use than CWM.

Thanks again for the info.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
OK. Liking (even say loving) Energy for the most part. Biggest concern is battery life (worse than when I ran stock, but I'm trying to make sure I reset all of my settings).

Biggest problem is MMS over Tmo's WiFi calling. I found the patch to fix the timestamps in SMS but can't receive MMS. That's a deal-breaker for me.

So, searching again, it seems like a number recommended Bulletproof 2.5. And I saw that Mike1986 released an update to ARHD today. I know a few replies in this thread were recommending ARHD except that it was outdated. Thoughts on which one to go with? Biggest thing is WiFi calling (with working SMS/MMS) is a must (and a somewhat stock feel). Everything else (faster, debloated, free tethering, etc) are a bonus.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:

[HTC One X] phobos512:
Hey everyone, I wanted to provide some commentary briefly on the accessories I received for my One X yesterday from HandheldItems.com.

I ordered:

(1) black HTC One X TPU Case (Product Code EcHtcOneXTpuChkBlk) and

(3) HTC One X Matte Anti-glare Screen Protectors (Product Code HhiHtcOneXScnMat/HhiHtcOneXScnMatX3)

Comments:

First, the TPU case is good. It fits the ports wiht appropriate cutouts, it fits uniformly over the front of the device, and it looks nice. It is a glossy TPU case (I have seen some cases that are matte or are a mix of matte and glossy - this one is completely glossy). It provides several millimeters of depth to the front of the device to keep the screen from resting on whatever surface you might place the device down on. Also, the camera opening on the back of the device is such that it conforms to the camera lens surround and provide depth such that the lens doesn't touch whatever surface the phone is resting on. It does not however provide as much lens coverage as, for example, the Casemate Barely There cases. But it was also less than half the price of that case.

The screen protectors are unfortunately another story. The matte finish is nice and it reduces reflections considerably. Like any matte protector, it is evident that there is a screen protector on the device and the clarity of the screen is affected, but only minimally. If you're a purist though you may not like the look - I have always preferred matte screens. The fit is the problem with this product though. They are too long. To get the screen protector to adhere fully at the top of the screen, the bottom corners push off the screen onto the phone body and do not adhere. I tried two different screen protectors and had the same result (I ordered the three pack). Also, the screen protector only conforms to the curve on the top of the screen, not the bottom (I tried screen protectors in both orientations and it seems clear that the curve of the screen at the top of the phone is slightly more pronounced than the curve of the screen at the bottom of the phone). Also it would be nice if they were slightly wider because as is if you are slightly to the side then the full active portion of the screen will not be protected (there is only approximately 1mm of margin left/right).

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share as I didn't have an opportunity to take any but I think my commentary will give you the necessary info. I'll try to take some pictures this evening unless someone beats me to it.
[HTC One X] phobos512:
Here are some pictures of the phone with the case and screen protector. Handhelditems.com is working with me to eliminate the concerns I have with the screen protectors.
[HTC One X] vitaminxero:
So with the screen faced up, the lens cover doesn't touch the table, right? If so that would be fairly adequate protection (As it has been for my Optimus 2X). Does the screen protector fully adhere to the screen? I've had problems with phones that have curved edges on the sides of the glass. It makes it impossible to use static-based screen protectors and I'm no fan of the ones with water application.

may need to set permissions on file

You may need to set permissions on the file before you can save. Using "File Manager HD" I had to enable root explorer and mount systems folders under the settings and then add write permissions to Group and Others in the permissions dialog, probably don't need Others but I am lazy. Don't forget to change the permissions back after you save your changes. Incorrect permissions settings can sometimes really bork things.

Also seems that the settings might be a little different under ICS, I am getting "Touchscreen Toggled" instead of the menu after setting 150 to MENU.
