HD or FullHD?

My Live with Walkman is able to play videos, but can't remember which format these were. Oh and I used MX Video Player also.

Will post more info when I try/find.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pininozs:
MX video player

Mx video player pro is the best you can even pinch to zoom ina video, I think there's a free version :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
Thank you for your fast replay..

I mean HD (720p) in MP4 format

I know that xperia phones can play this format but when I play HD in 320x480 screen there is a big difference in aspect ratio so the video is too small and pixels appears in the video.

So I want to cut the video to play in whole screen and use all screen surface to make the videos looks a lot better.

I can do it with MX video player in S/W mode only not in H/W but the video looks too slow and without Bravia Engine enhancement.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
In S/W or in H/W mode?

I cant zoom or crop the video in H/W mode

I can only Stretch the video

I'm using MX video player free version from the market
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 42me:
just to share i'm using dice player and work great:D ,with mx player pro sometime it stucks and the not run same with video.....so try it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
Dude, you can use Mobo Player from the market.

It can play any video format without any lags avi, mp4 or whatever you can think of.

Screw other player Mobo Player is beast
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mahmoudsogic:
my xperia mini can be play 720 mp4 format

but 1080 slow
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
I tried it

Its nice and I like speed feature and it has alot of aspect ratio options

But without zoom option or crop the video to fit the screen

Thanks for your help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
why do you want a zoom option in a video?? :rolleyes:

and if im not mistaken, there is an option to fit the screen or movie style

you just have to look for it harder
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
And 720p is too slow in S/W mode in my phone

And H/W has no options
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
Same as mx video player

It can't keep video in the same aspect ratio using H/W mode

And S/W is too slow and worse quality than H/W mode and without Bravia feature
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Tested yesterday my LWW, mx video player.

1080p movie was a bit laggy, sound and video did not match always.

720p movie ran completely without problems in S/W fast mode. I didn't have problems with aspect ratio, I was watching in a dark room.

1.1 GHz processor, minfree 100mb, minicmsandwich ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
yup. i have tested 3 bluray/1080p videos and it lags on any video player out there in the market. including mobo player.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
It's the phone, that cannot play 1080p video.

RAM amount is too low, 512MB RAM, which only about 100-150 MB is free, depending on ROM and settings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
Maybe you have a slow sdcard.What class is it?

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

1080p but in which format?I observed that xvid plays very smooth.H.264 on the other hand it's kinda heavy.Maybe 1080p xvid can play without lags haven't test it though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Class 4, tested read speed was over 20 Mbit/s.

And H264 format.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
Actually first question was for Ahmed Abbass, i messed up the quotes:(

H.264 it's pretty heavy maybe xvid can do better with 1080p.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
seriously why would you want to waych hd/bluray/1080p videos on a 3.2 inch screen.

why not view it on a pc/laptop/hdtv/ps3 instead? :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
S/W fast mode is worse than H/W in terms of quality and smoothness

It's even worse than normal S/W mode

Try to use H/W and watch the deference

Anyone can fix aspect ratio in H/W mode???

(I'm talking about normal 720p video not 1080p)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Because I have no TV in my room and can't use laptop in bed. Sitting on hard chair for 1,5 hours is not comfortable. :)

H/W mode unavailable, unsupported.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
Yes it has but it's not work in H/W mode (only stretch).

I want a zoom in with the same aspect ratio (crop the video) to fill the whole screen it will be a lot better
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
My card is class 4 also.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
Depend of the velocity of the sd i have a sd 16 gb class 6 and i can play videos hd Without problem ;)

720p :) i dont try With 1080 p Thats absurd play videos Whit this resolución because the xperias have resolucion of 320*480 ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
I agree with this actually :p

How about, convert your 1080p videos to 720p? Good idea huh :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
Can you play 720p in full screen with zoom (in H/W mode)??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ahmed Abbass:
There is any system file related to viewing videos?

What about media_profiles.xml file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Should not effect the playback, according to me these files are for recording videos and taking photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpm2000:
I used to do the manual updates/restates on my devices after each wipe-requiring new build of whatever ROM I'm using but starting to get burned out on that, and don't care to tweak or change as much as I used to so it doesn't make sense.

What is the best backup solution for all the settings and tweaks and visual implements between builds that require wipes? Is titanium still king?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
It isn't the apps fault, really.

Certain things simply can't be restored from one build from the next without causing problems.

It can get a bit old if you're a crack-flasher.

Maybe just limit yourself to flashing Milestones (or similar) for your Rom updates...to limit the flashing. This will also make each time you flash extra-special with the huge change-logs :p.

Just in case you need a refresher...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
Titanium is still king, use it to only backup your apps and app data, not system anything. As for homescreens, just use a custom launcher(Nova!) and it allows you to backup your screens so u dont have to re-set everything up. If you have titanium backup pro u dont have to OK every individual app too. After every wipe the first thing i do is restore my apps, restore homescreens through launcher, make a nandroid, then apply all my mods again as needed if the rom doesn't already have it built in :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mixmaster333:

I love TBU
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
What are the differences between the two because it seems that aokp seems worse as there is No call recoding .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts.shay:
You can customize AOKP (customizable) to your liking. AOSP (less customization) is a very clean ROM, providing you with PURE GOOGLE EXPERIENCE.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alber12:
Hi there! First thread after a year reading xda :eek: Just wondering if there's any list of gamepads that work with ICS. I tried the Xbox 360 Wired controller but doesn't seem to work with MAME anymore. :confused: Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] letsgophillyingeneral:
Here's a post of mine from another thread.

And here's a link to the thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1395335
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
PS3 controller via Bluetooth is the way to go. And even if the app doesn't officially support the controller you can create a touch profile within the six axis app and use the controller on what is normally a touch screen game. Like I play modern combat 3 w/ a ps3 controller on my phone for example. :D

Now the real question is how to get gameloft games working on this tablet. :S I'm thinking I'll have to do some dirty work w/ editing the build.prop

Sent from my Creamed Out Glacier
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Nope, its worse than that... You'll have to find working versions by other means... Simply editing the build.prop doesnt help.

Stupid gameloft :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
I saw where the galaxy tab has this game but the people in the Gameloft forums complain about it saying it sucks ass and what not. Lolololol

Guess ill try to find the apk for that and edit my build.prop to match, kinda disappointing to know I bought the game on my phone and when I finally get a tablet, I can't even play it on my tablet :mad:

I also emailed Gameloft about it and the guy that contacted me back pretty much kept walking me around circles saying it could be looked into and blah blah blah.

On the other hand, playing games like shadowgun is 10x better on this than my phone!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Dont change the build.prop, it wont do any good or help at all.

Your only option is to get a hold of apk's with the device check removed.

Anyway, since this is a thread about gamepads... Have anyone tried an xbox controller (NOT 360, the original)?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thing O Doom:
Original xbox controller Does Not work. At all. Sorry X.x Even with the special USB adapter cable I bought.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
How would that not help? The apk checks it to make sure the device is "compatible" with the games.

An example of this would be people playing order and chaos on newer devices like the new Droid razr, a guy on my friends list said he had to change his build.prop to make it think it was some other phone (I forgot what it was) and I have also seen other tablets run the game even though its not supported

Sent from my Creamed Out Glacier
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Go ahead and try it. It doesnt work on the TF. Works fine on my phone and other tablet, but not the TF.

And even if it did work, most games wouldnt work properly without the needed patch/cracks, like Order and Chaos (which was a nightmare to get working).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Well GTA III w/ PS3 controller via Bluetooth is legit on this tab.

Felt like I was playing PS2

360 wired pad worked in honeycom. Why not in ICS??? Big step backwards from google IMHO. The 360 pad is by far the best for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tboheeren:
Hello again,

Can anyone help me how to install these modules?

It also includes files for logitech f710 but that is not the rumblepad2 controller...

Thanks for any info!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PoweRoy:
You should copy the *.ko files to e.g. /sytem/lib/modules

and copy the *.kl to /system/usr/keylayout/

So open terminal:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

(copy the files using cp)

insmod /system/lib/modules/hid_logitech.ko (and others)

However the insmod is not perminent after reboot.

Script to insmod after reboot:

echo "#!/system/bin/sh" >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/ff-memless.ko" >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/hid-dr.ko" >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/hid_logitech.ko" >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I'm using the ics rom with htc sense 4 made by Taz :) but with vodafone i have no signal i some areas... What is the best rom for desire z (italian)? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crestofawave:
Are you asking for a ROM or a RADIO?

Actually, either way, it doesn't matter. You'll have to find the best combination for yourself. Different phones react differently to radios. Same with ROM's.

So yeah, trial and error, rinse and repeat.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zofox:
Yes but I can flash all the radio (for desire z i mean) or there are radios that work only in specific phones related with specific areas? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crestofawave:
No. All Radios you see on the RADIO thread are fully compatible for each and every DZ/G2. So flash away, test radio for 4-5 days minimum and see what works for you.

Like I said, it's different for everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zofox:

Hi,	I am using HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM and like many custom ROMS the boot sound is removed. How could I add a boot sound back into the ROM?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Open rom with Win rardo not extract .

Locate and open System then open ETC .

Then from ADD button add POWERon.wav for GB or .OGG if its ICS close and flash the rom .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslheard:
Thanks for the info, Is there no way to do without flashing ROM again?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Take the PowerOn.ogg sound file, and put it in /system/etc using Root Explorer. Make sure you remount /system as R/W first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslheard:
I have tried this already and it is not working for me is there anything else that needs to be done?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You sure the file is good? If you try to open the .ogg file in Root Explorer, does it actually play?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslheard:
Yes it defiantly had sound and plays. I assume the boot animation uses the system volume?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Yes, that was going to be my next question. Is your system volume turned up to an audible level when you boot?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslheard:
Yes all turned up to max. Is there anything in the bootanimation.zip it's self that affects sound?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't think so...

And it turns out this may be related to the ROM after all... when I search the HyDrOG3N-ICS thread for the string "boot sound", I get a lot of results of people asking how to add it in, but no replies on how to get it done.

EDIT: after some searching, I found this post. Maybe you can try using this dev's kitchen app to attempt enabling the boot sound?

Sorry, nevermind. That looks like it is a kitchen app for his specific ROM, and may not work for HyDrOG3N.

EDIT 2: Try adding the PowerOn.ogg file to /etc instead of /system/etc. This folder (/etc) SHOULD be a logical mapping to /system/etc, but sometimes, it just doesn't work that way for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslheard:
Still no luck. From further reading it seems boot sound is not supported at all on some roms. I have found suggestions of custom scripts that may work however most seem aimed at cm7. Think I may try some tomorrow. Thanks

How am I supposed to know? I don't use that ROM, nor am I the ROM chef.

Either ask in the ROM thread, or do some research. Google is your friend.

I bought my skyrocket literally the day it came out, and haven't had a single issue with the screen, lines or burn in, no restart issues, UCLC5 works great, and most of the other stuff people complain about.

I wonder if the later released phones had a small manufacturing flaw. when did you guys get your skyrockets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Primenay:
I just got mine like two weeks ago. I wonder if certain batches are better than others. Also, It could be that you just think you don't have the issues but maybe its because you arent looking for them. Which is good don't look for them it will bug you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] perds:
It's an oLED screen, not LCD, and burn in is an issue over a long time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
Our screen is just like a plasma TV, burn in is possible if a static image is left on the screen, there is a break in period for the screen just like a plasma.

In the market get the app called display tester. It has functions to remove burn in, like a plasma TV.

I have a problems with charging. Phone charges only until 80-90%. But when I reboot phone it displays 100%.

Next "problem". When I reboot phone it displays +3 to +6% of bettery. After some time, it shows once again the charge that was before the reboot.

It's normal?

I'm using ARHD 6.5.1, stock kernel, 4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.4 RC3.

Maybe try re-flashing your ROM ( with superwipe ). ;)

[HTC Sensation] D-SHEL:
Trying to wipe battery stars. Not helps.

Maybe full reflashing..

So, second problem have all Sensations?
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Yes, flashing again is likely to solve the issue
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yeah second problem happens...but within few minutes it'll restore to its original

this problem perishes after 8-10 complete battery cycles(100-0 and 0-100)

this is quite common :D
[HTC Sensation] D-SHEL:
Super Wipe not helps. Maybe broken batery indicator controller (hardware)?
[HTC Sensation] cob92:
As far as I know this is normal for the sensation, the percentage gauge isn't really exact. I have the same "issue", if you wait for a few minutes after reboot it displays the correct percentage.
[HTC Sensation] D-SHEL:
Ok, thanks :)

But I have this issue too: Phones charges only until 80-90%. But when I reboot phone it displays 100%.
[HTC Sensation] cob92:
Are you using an App/Widget to see it (like Battery Solo Widget for example)? Or the battery in the notification bar?

If you`re using an app/widget: it's the app's fault. On my phone for example it says 95% while charging, but the battery in the notification bar displays 100%. Or it means the phone would still charge, though I disconnected it from the charger a few minutes ago.

I use the app "Fast reboot" to solve this. It reboot's all running apps (battery solo widget too), and after that bsw displays the correct percentage.
[HTC Sensation] derricancy:
This is normal...when I used 2.3.4 stock HTC ROM, this happened...

it will soon drop back to the % you had before reboot...dont' worry about this..
