[Google Chromecast] GreenDroidX:
For example YouTube video (This one for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d61FPSXnTLc ) has 1080p 720p 480p.....

I know on my laptop I could barely stream 720p smooth, let alone 1080p, but most of the time I am at 480p. For some reason the Youtube on automatic default to the 480p or lower, even though I could play with 720p with minimal hiccup.

So when I cast to Chromecast, it is always smooth (so I pretty much know that it is pulling the 720p stream or lower). Is there a way to know which stream it is pulling?

I could always force it to play the 1080p stream by feeding it the direct URL to http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ but I want to know what it is pulling naturally.
[Google Chromecast] altimax98:
Its probably just like the Android app. It'll pull what it is being allowed to pull down due to the bandwidth.

The reason you and I and most people have YouTube issues is the load to those servers is high. Hence why at 5pm streaming YouTube at anything but LQ is pointless.

Google subverted this issue by not actually directing Chromecast to the YouTube servers but instead to another far less congested one. Makes sense to provide the best user experience.

So yes you will get better quality on the Chromecast then any other device using your network.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] 4Freedom:
Is it multilanguage firmware, Italian language is included?

How did you do it? :cowboy:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] alejomj:
yeah it has italian lang.

for rootiing, after that you have downloaded the stock kdz, follow these steps:

1 - LGExtract.exe -kdz ..\*.kdz

2- extract .cab

3- DZDecrypt *.dz

4- DZExtract -x *.dz

5- mount -o loop -t ext4 system.img.ext /mnt/kdz

6- cp system/bin/su /mnt/kdz/bin/

7- cp system/app/Superuser.apk /mnt/kdz/app/

8- chmod 06755 /mnt/kdz/bin/su

9- ln -s /mnt/kdz/bin/su /mnt/kdz/xbin

10- DZCreate.exe -mE610 -v20E V20D_root.dz

11- create cab with dz + dll

12- create kdz with cab file using UpTestEX_original
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] 4Freedom:
I got it :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] alejomj:
They are commands and tools that you need for creating a kdz ROM rooted. mmm I think there's a way to root your phone with adb shell but I prefer with this one.

Regards
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] 4Freedom:
I was looking for a faster method to root my device.

That wasn't my idea.

However thanks for explainations.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Funjet:
how did you push su in dz? (.dz)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] alejomj:
you need to mount the ext file for writing inside the su package. You can do it in any linux/BSD or other posix system.

[LG Optimus G (International)] bihslk:
Hi

I bought an Optimus G for about 2 months ago unbranded and not carrier locked at local mobile store. Its sold now but im just curious what happened with it.

I came home and run an OTA and there was no update.

Then i downloaded LG Software Updater or what the name is from their homepage.

I plugged in my phone and there was an update? WTF. So i update the phone with it.

When phone restarts i saw instead of LG bootanimation i got an 3 Operator LOGO. HOW?

But my Tele2 card still worked no problem at all.

I called LG and they never heard something about that. Then they told me to return it but why it worked with Tele2.

Then i decide to sell it and person that buy it from me cant get his TELIA operator now work on it?

When i look at the baseband or version it was infected with E97510F-232-10 wich is an number for Operator 3.

Tryed to reflash it with other but E97510F-232-10 remains and not changing.

But why cant he use TELIA right now. He tried 2 different SIM Cards?
[LG Optimus G (International)] bihslk:
OK found the problem.

He is missing imei. He just seing a 0 (ZERO)

WTF. I forgot to backup the IMEI.

Anyway to fix it or just send it to LG for repair
[LG Optimus G (International)] JasonBourne.Qc:
Just search for a thread here named "Backup/Restore EFS partition" that contain the IMEI...

Sent from my CM10.2 OGE973
[LG Optimus G (International)] bihslk:
I know that thread but how can i restore something i never made an backup of :)

He will send it for repair instead. Thanks anyway for the answer..
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
hmm what i know from 3 is that they have their own software sometimes, ino from older phone, they had a habbit of using power faster then stock software, so many ppl got their 3 phones flashed with normal software.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kiwinazgul:
https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard?hl=en

Assuming you use your a google account, go to the link and click on android. Every android device you have linked with google should have their IMEI number stored there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] bihslk:
I know that but imei is corrupt so google cannot help me LOL :)I even have imei on the box. But phone is send in for repair.

you have to download zip version of the radio you want to have....reboot to recovery and easile flash that radio(hit install and point to that radio.zip you just downloaded)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoKush:
REcovery is an app that you can flash to your phone. IT is use mostly to make system backups, and flash apps roms etc etc. search for twrp recovery, learn how to install it, youll have to unlock bootloader and root phone then install recovery. then flash it with recovery, in the install section. no you dont have to flash radio everytime you flash a rom. radio is one thing rom is another.

[General Questions and Answers] dmahota:
Hello,

I have been tasked by my company to further research the viability of implementing an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) based system. I have ruled out hard wiring a 120v camera since these are various remote locations I am trying to secure with ANPR. Since they are manned stations, the natural conclusion is an ANPR system. Something like this:

[I am too new and it won't let me post the youtube link, but if you search youtube for "MATRIX Android ANPR Rendszám azonosító" you'll find the video I speak of]

I have found many (at least 10) examples of similar functioning software, at least they appear to be, but nothing that is really for sale. I am new to this site but I know all of the experts are here. I'm wondering if either a) Any of you know of such commercially available software, or b) any of you are knowledgeable of how I can get it developed?

Thank you very much for your time and I hope this is posted in the right place.

Rebranded to WP8 Registry Tools from Lumia Registry Modifier

This is a basic registry viewer/editor demonstration using Registry dlls pulled from Nokia xaps within the latest FFUs.

First, a few things to note.

1) This only retrieves values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

2) It CAN read DWORD values now, but can't write. (Hell you probably won't be able to write ANYWHERE, but the code is there)

Instructions are quite simple.

To Read Values:

1) Put the Registry key in the first box (ex. SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Codepage\1254

2) Put the Registry Value in the second box (ex. 1254)

3) Press Get Value.

To Set Values:

1) Put the Registry key in the first box (ex. SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Codepage\1254

2) Put the Registry Value in the second box (ex. 1254)

3) Put the new registry value result in the Set Value box.

4) Press Set Value.

This is very very basic, but I wanted to just show off something using what Nokia has provided us.

We can't write dword values unfortunately so hopes of using this to change the MaxUnsignedApp value are lost. This MAY be possible with [MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION] 's WP8NativeAccess library, but with this it isn't.

In case everyone wondered what that key is... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install

Side load away
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Hmm... I get Access Denied in my library on most keys that I've tried to write. If you can write the codepage, that's interesting (generally speaking, HKLM has stronger protections). I'll double-check whether I can write there myself. If not, but you can, then we have an elevated privilege attack vector...

Also, we should see whether the app runs on non-Nokia devices. I suspect that it will, if it works the way I think it does, but in that case it also won't have much in the way of permissions.

Getting DWORDs to work is a good project, I'm sure it's possible (works fine in NativeAccess, incidentally).

EDIT: Any chance you could include the source?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] aclegg2011:
atleast its a start. ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
ah yes, sorry about that. Let me load up my laptop

EDIT: Source added.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vivekkalady:
Hi I found the Registry item

(File path : <ffu>\Windows\Packages\RegistryFiles\SOFTWARE.REG)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\KindMap

where we can set extensions and their types.so is it possible to add a new extension so that it will also be supported and visible in sdcard ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It doesn't support creating new key values, only modifying existing ones. If the data is within one key value and it's able to be read, then it should be able to have things added to it.

EDIT: From what I've seen, what you're trying to do won't be possible with this. Each extension has a different key value.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
We may need to start an "interesting registry values" thread here, similar to the one for WP7. Of course, it'll be more interesting if we can actually change any of them.

Oh, and the app works on my ATIV S, just by the way. Need to find some interesting paths to test it on, though.

EDIT: Have you been able to write to *any* values using this? It fails for me every time, but I haven't tried that many yet.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
it has failed for me also. The only values I could write to were the ones that corresponded to Nokia. I'll look through the code again and make another update. I'm going to also rebrand it since it works for non Lumia phones.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Interesting about the Nokia paths working. That could be some characteristic of the DLL you use having better permissions or something specific to OEM stuff, but I actually suspect it's just that Nokia didn't bother to lock down the ACLs on their parts of the registry. You can easily adapt the app to my NativeRegistry class to test this, if you want.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmm that's a good idea. I just rebranded it to WP8 Registry Modifier. I'll add in your NativeRegistry class to work along with the RegistryRT class to see what comes about.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
DWORD support

For DWORD support, take a look at the Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.wim... The "CSilentInstallerRuntime" class contains multiple methods to interact with the registry including:

CreateKey

GetRegDWORDValue

GetRegSZValue

GetRegSZValueL

IsRegistryDWORDValueExists

IsRegistryKeyExists

IsRegistryREGSZValueExists

SetRegDWORDValue

SetRegSZValue

A bit off topic, I found a way to launch any URI... Literally, ANY URI (app:// http:// or anything). I can launch any application (using the GUID - so it must be a registered application but doesn't have to be one that you see in your programs list) and go to a specific page within that application. I can also pass any kind of query string that could unlock some hidden features in an application (such as the Extras+Info application - I can launch it using any dial string even though my ROM has that particular dial string disabled). I do so by launching a Toast message which allows me specify a launch uri and once it pops up, I click it. If anyone's interested, I can post a code sample for that...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION] I'm able to read DWORDs with your NativeRegistry framework. I haven't been able to write though (I've only looked at the MaxUnsignedApp reg value).

What I think I'm going to do is possibly scrap the RegistryRT framework and just use yours. I can then make an even more robust app.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I was actually looking at the SilentInstaller not long ago. I got sidetracked by the fact that I could use the NativeRegistry read DWORD values. I'll check that out and upload a new build in a few
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
I can write one up later. I have several registry keys that I'd like to bring attention to.

NOTE: I don't see anything editable yet, at least I can read it to compare it to the files in the ffu.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Launching a URI should be possible more directly than that, using ShellExecute, or similar, but that way is cool (and doesn't require importing unofficial native functionality).

Just a word of warning: NativeRegistry is under heavy modification. I hope to have the next Alpha release done soon, which brings a ton of changes, but in the meantime you might want to follow the changes on CodePlex; while I test every build that I push, I don't always publish the binaries.

There will be two ways to use the registry through NativeAccess soon: one is to use fairly thin wrappers around the native functions (that's mostly what's implemented now, but it will be expanded to include key and value enumeration, key creation, etc.), and the other is to use a class more akin to a .NET RegistryKey class, offering the ability to interact in a more object-oriented manner (where the object itself represents an open key).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Something I did notice when I tried to compile the NativeRegistry source (I just ended up using the binary you had for my testing) is that it kept blowing up on the include for WinReg.h. I don't have that anywhere. Am I missing something?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
I'm not sure how GoodDayToDie did it himself (probably same approach I take it) but I compiled it using the "WinReg.h" from the Windows 8 SDK and removing the desktop-only compiler "if" instruction (lines 49 and 1446). And like he mentioned, you also have to create the KERNALBASE.LIB with the required registry export functions for the linker.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Ah ok, thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
Yes, please post your code and give yourself your own thread (at least keep it here in development ;) ). There are a lot of underlying dialer codes that Nokia disabled when flashing the 928s. Also this could mean we could have a custom app launcher, if you wanted to customize it that way. Most of the work we have done on WP8 has occurred in the past few months; we are finally getting so close to the first InteropUnlock for Nokia/WP8.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
I'm trying to figure out the correct method prototype (since this is a method that appears to be WinPhone only and isn't part of the SDK so, no details on it whatsoever)... I stumbled upon this toast functionality in "NokiaFrameworkOBAWinPRT.dll" under the "DevPropHelper" class. The method to call is "InvokeToast". This method ends up calling "Shell_PostMessageToast" in "ShellChromeAPI.dll" (this is what I'm trying to invoke directly without going through the Nokia dll).

Add a reference in your project to "NokiaFrameworkOBAWinPRT.winmd" (you can find this in newer versions of the Extras+Info app)

Add the necessary <InProcessServer> tag (to allow the "NokiaFrameworkOBAWinPRT.DevPropHelper" class) in the <ActivatableClasses> section of you WMAppManifest.xml file

In the code... Create an instance of "NokiaFrameworkOBAWinPRT.DevPropHelper"

In the code... Call the "InvokeToast" method (of the previously created object) passing it:

Application GUID (can be your local app's GUID - doesn't seem to matter)

URI to launch in string format

Toast title (can be anything)

Toast content(can be anything)

When the Toast notification pops up, click on it and that's it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I saw the code that called it, but never made anything of it. I see a new thread by you popping up soon :).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
Yeah, you can expect one in a few minutes. I figured out how the call works (thank you IDA PRO): you pass the "parameters" as a struct reference as opposed to individual parameters. I'm bundling all that in a wrapper library and creating a simple launcher application.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Sweet!

wchar_t* text2;
wchar_t* taskUri;
wchar_t* sound;

HRESULT Shell_PostMessageToast(MESSAGETOASTDATA* messageToastData);

if you're interested in some more functions, I can provide their prototypes as I researched them a lot earlier.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
Lol... Well, I was kinda close:

typedef struct _TOAST_MESSAGE

{

CLSID guid;

LPCWSTR lpTitle;

LPCWSTR lpContent;

LPCWSTR lpUri;

LPCWSTR lpType;

} TOAST_MESSAGE;

Where did you find that?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
[MENTION=1794621]ultrashot[/MENTION] you are awesome. I'd love to see more. I see this helping out a lot
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
[MENTION=1794621]ultrashot[/MENTION] Sure, more prototypes would be awesome. Did you find them documented somewhere or by trial and error or by disassembling components that call those methods (which is how I figured it out) or you're just a genius :p?

I'm looking at ShellChrome.dll right now so, if you have any prototypes from that one, that would be great. I randomly decided to start looking at files with interesting filenames but haven't really spent that much time calling un-documented methods until yesterday...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Sorry about the WinReg thing, yeah, I need to provide a more detailed set of build instructions. I've been up way too late hacking on this the last few nights, though.

I don't think I actually modified WinReg.h at all, but in any case, you did the same thing I did: pull it from the Windows SDK and put it in the WP8 include folder.

Note that newer versions of the Registry library will require advapi32legacy.lib as well; its registry exports are mostly the old Win16 APIs but some of them are still more convenient to use than the newer APIs.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Prerna:
thanks, it's rejoicing to see some innovation towards more freedom for our wp8 devices...

now, could you indicate a quick guide on how to install this xap? When I try I only get an error message.
