I would like to know if someone else gad problems with poor video quality using HDMI on Surface RT

I'm using a adaptor dongle with a conventional HDMI Cable. The cable is a hight quality one, but can't say about the adaptor.

I've bought the adaptor to use Surface RT on my TV, but I'm so frustrated with the poor graphic quality.

Any idea about what is happing ? Tips ? is it normal ?? Any other experience with it ?

Thanks,

Carlos
[Hardware Hacking General] spunker88:
I'm not familiar with the Surface RT but IIRC it uses a regular microHDMI port so any microHDMI to full size HDMI should work fine. What is this converter you are talking about? If you are converting HDMI to a lower grade video signal like composite then the picture quality is going to suffer since composite is only 480i. Your picture should be fine if you connect HDMI directly to the TV.

Hello people :)

I recently tried installing CyanogenMod 10 on my intl Galaxy Player 5.0.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077671

Some things about my phone:

I recently rooted it and i am able to enter download or recovery mode, i have the intl model and im currently running:

This ROM:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623529

And this KERNEL:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414565

Everytime i get an assert failed error (yes formatting does not help.....) and when installing the kernel within the thread i bricked my phone....

I was able to recover it but i dont wanna brick my phone again so any help and/or detailted instructions how to get that rom installed would be appreciated.

When i was trying to flash, thought it was with Odin. My programme crashed upon NaNDwrite....

Thanks in advance, hope someone can help me out! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Umm, if I'm understanding correctly, you installed the ROM- CM10, that is- and/or kernel via Odin. CM10 and the Mercurius kernel are zip files (.tar, .pit and the like are for Odin, not zips...if I understood correctly).

You want to place the ROM and the GAPPS zips on your actual SD card. Make sure the SD card is working properly. Reset and go to CWM (Power+Vol up).

Then, accd to the instructions on the CM10 page:

"Installation:

Reboot to CWM

Make a Nandroid (optional, but recommended)

Format /system if you had a different GApps package installed

Install ROM

Install GAPPS if you just formatted /system

Wipe data/factory reset if you are coming from Gingerbread

Reboot

??? (wait a while...)

Profit"

I'd say make a backup before doing any of this, but I'm assuming you're beyond that point....But before going on to CM10, it might be a good idea to recover your device first and back it up. Maybe flash a GB rom via CWM or Odin before proceeding to CM10, making a backup just in case...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Maarten0009:
Ok

Well, i did not use the .zip on odin, i flashed the alternate kernel linked.

So i googled a bit and found out i needed CWM6 for CM10, but im running CWM5. How can i update this? on the site i couldnt find the Galaxy Player supported! thnx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Just flash CM10 kernel zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2109674

from CWM5 and then reboot CMW and you will have CWM6..then just install CM10 rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
would he have to flash the kernel first, though? I'm unfamiliar with rjs, but am assuming that rjs version of CWM would be identical to entropys version of CWM, which means that he could just flash the CM10 ROM since it has the kernel baked in.

When I upgraded from Chip -> CM10, I just flashed via CWM, upgrading both the ROM and CWM in the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
i used rj's kernel and had to go from GB to ICS to JB or else i would get an assert error
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
I remember Dkonzig mentioning this, that the path to JB was through ICS, but for my US device, I just flashed directly to GB. I remember another Int'l GB user who flashed directly to JB and was fine. this is peculiar.

so two methods to choose from, I suppose.

Hi all,

I recently bought a nexus 7 and i already own a nexus s.

What i want to do is take over my phone using my tablet, so i can use whatsapp and text app's. But also others.

Does anyone know if there is an app that will let me do this?

I have searched but found nothing.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

If you mean mirror your phone to your nexus then no.

If you mean you you want to be able to text from your tablet:

TabletTalk

TabletSMS

Check them out?

If you mean using your tablet to receive text and calls then theres this app called "tablet talk" on the market. You will need to have either both Bluetooth ON or you can do it over wifi i think.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
You guys are misunderstanding him. What he wants is a remote-control app for his tablet so he can control his phone, and although he wants it to seemingly make things "easier" by using his tablet to text, my solution isn't the best and smoothest option (but it works). Your best bet is to use an IM app that supports all the protocols you want to chat through and have it installed on both your phone and tablet. Like someone mentioned, to get SMS on your tablet you'll need something like TexTab.

Anyway, my solution works, if you use the app "Droid VNC Server" on your phone, and then use a VNC-Viewer either on your Tablet or on your PC. The "Droid VNC Server" is free, but the official VNC Viewer is not. There may be alternatives, though.

Droid VNC Server: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.

Another VNC Viewer I found which seems free "Android VNC-Viewer": https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFuZHJvaWQuYW5kcm9pZFZOQyJd

I can confirm that the "Droid VNC Server" and a VNC Viewer on your PC/Tablet works to view your phone's screen on your tablet and even control your phone through your tablet as my dad often needs help with his phone. All he does is start the Droid VNC Server app and I have his IP saved, and I just connect.

It's slow, but it gets the job done if you really need it.

Good luck!

Hello elvisypi!

if you can, PLEASE feel free to move or tell to move my thread in a better place...:fingers-crossed:

I didn't want to post it in Q&A because the goal of this thread it was to give to ROMs and Kernels' developers some Ideas of what is great and what is missed in them work but I still don't have rights to write in other threads and in here it's quite useless...:(

I don't think any of the developers I mentioned (or not) do even know yet of this thread existence...:crying:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
On that note, don't worry about devs not knowing what's good and bad about their roms.

Presidential candidates aren't as scrutinized as a new rom on XDA.

If something doesn't work on a new rom, the dev will hear about 25 times in the first hour, then another 30 times after he corrects the problem and posts a new bug free build. And then some idiot will show up 3 weeks later without searching the thread and ask why he's getting that bug even though he hasn't updated his rom to any of the 20 newer builds since the bug was fixed.

Pick any rom development thread...at random...read the whole whole thing, and you will see this pattern repeat itself over and over and over. Try not to get too annoyed by it...but it's hard to remain calm sometimes. :D

So while your guide is great for other users trying to pick which ROM is the best one for their needs, you're not telling developers anything they don't already know. It's great information, but it's other users who will benefit from it.

Skipjacks thank you for your replies, they are always constructive! ;)

Believe me I read few >>FULL<< threads and I know EXACTLY what are you talking about...sometime it’s just FRUSTRATING!!!:eek:

I’m VERY happy to help other users but the reason I would like some of the developers to read this thread as well, is because it’s not a “this doesn’t work, please fix it”-thread, but more like “this doesn’t work here but it

DOES WORK

in there but there doesn’t work this but it

WORKS

in here”-thread, so the Genius Developers can help each-other “fusing” all the working features and make the “Complete-Sensation”:cool:

I also would like them to know that I'm offering my help as a tester since I have a spare sensation, OTG Cables (powered and not powered) and MHL cable and I think they may need “Hamsters” like me to try on their new betas!

Anyway I guess I will just wait until I’m allowed to write in developers thread and place a link to this thread, all I want is to be helpful! :fingers-crossed:

I have a Live With Walkman, locked bootloader, ICS .587 and rooted. I installed CWM for ICS through X-parts and made a backup.

Do you (or anyone) know if i can get back to stock ICS restoring the backup after install a rom like Xperia Nexus that works with locked bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
if you try any ics based rom, then yes. In 2011 xperias you can restore the kernel, thats why you can't restore ics backup when you are on gb rom/kernel and vice versa.

btw: if you try some ics based roms for locked bl, then (i think all of them) is pre-rooted, but you must install cwm again. (As i was on locked bl and i tried jj's hybrid rom, then i must install cwm again)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronimb:
hey everyone,

i've noticed that in some (most actually) apps, when in landscape mode and bringing up the keyboard (it happens on all keyboards ive tried: swiftkey, swiftkeyflow, kii, keymonk and samsung stock) instead of bringing up the keyboard and displaying the app you're in in whats left of the screen, the keyboard comes up with a white text input display, allowing you to see only the text you enter, without its context in the application you're in.

this can be troublesome in apps that combing typing and drawing, such as lecturenotes or any other natural handwriting note taking app you know.

has anyone found a way to overcome this issue?

Is anyone still thinking about this? I also find this quite annoying, also because it is different from app to app and also from Rom to Rom. I get the right results on most tw roms, but not on AOSP or CM10.1, where it differs from app to app. Changing dpi doesn't solve the issue.
