Thanks galt. That's what I was looking for. I read all the posts and based on your last post, took the plunge and bought the software with the discount code. Cheers mate! :lol: I'll let you know how I got on.

Q. You mention that you encode at 20 fps. Does it still playback like @ 25 fps or isn't it noticeable? And how is ur battery life now, with the CPU Hack and UMTS disabled?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galt:
@ 20 fps it plays back very very smooth (if the device can handle it without dropping frames). I haven't encoded any video @ 25fps but I'd guess that it's unecessary. My battery life was unchanged by turning off the UMTS, I really don't think it made a difference, and I typically have my GPRS on alll day. I don't run PHM at 520 mhz unless I'm watching high quality videos, but when I do it runs the battery down much faster. I really want a second higher capacity battery now (Mugen Power is working on it), but I also bought an extra wall and car charger so I can keep the device running full speed more often.

If you have any questions about setting up PHM feel free to AIM me (galtish) and I can try and hep but if you follow the directions in the other thread you should be ok. Do use the filter for the official Intel PXA270 when selecting settings in the speed configuration, and when you go to test them only test 3-4 settings at one time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Agreed. Most of my videos are at 25fps, but the drop down to 20fps (which I've done a couple of times) is practically un-noticable.

Have a bit of a play around with your settings, and you'll fnd something which suits you (with or without overclocking...)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
hello mate! :) Was just signing off the night and saw you in here. What do you use to encode your vids and are they DVD quality, apperance wise anyway? You see that's what I'm striving for and to be honest, it's not hard to achieve, but the trade off is sometimes a little to costly for my liking.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Hello again...

I use VirtualDub for everything. Bit tricky to figure out at first, but well worth the effort (in my opinion)

Every device I've had seems to work better on different settings, so I'm still trying out different permutations, but the ones I mentioned earlier work very well for me. (Everyone I've shown the results to has been suitably impressed, at least!)

When I get to a point that I'm completely happy with, I'll let you all know though!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Be happy to continue this discussion from HTC & MS...:

nabil2000, sub69, trendystyle and other video buff bretherens

:lol:

In response to your discussions about video encoding, I thought I'd post some of my techniques also. nabil2000, I think you'll find that what sub69 said about re-converting videos (avi divx xvid or mpeg etc) to be the norm on pocket pc's. I too have beeb doing this for many years and you really don't need the full monty (PC spec encoded movie files for the pocket pc). However, admittedly, the higher the video bitrates, the better the look of the video. Like you nabil I wish you could just transfer your PC spec encoded vids as this would be awesome, but the usage of space really is unnecessary.

My best result to date is a divx 6.0 encoded movie file encoded directly from a DVD and looks just like the real thing.

I used DVDx and divx 6.0 in conjunction with Lame MP3, and the settings were as follows:

1 Pass encoding at 768kbps @ 640x480 resolution (Bi-cubic Sharp), use medium or better quality encoding option and set Maximum keyframe intervals @ 375. Audio is set to min of 80kbps but 128kbps sounds much better and louder on the Jasjar.

The result is beautiful! :D

However there is a major drawback. It stutters every few frames and often drops frames unless you either plug it in to the mains or overclock your cpu on the Jasjar to at least 520Mhz (I know the Jasjar is a 520Mhz CPU, but believe me, it doesn't perform like it in videos or anything else for that matter).

With PocketHackMaster2005 set to 520Mhz it plays back flawlessly! 8) So I try to overclock to 624MHz like the Axim X50v and it crashes.

Sub69 however, with the same Jasjar and ROM version can happily overclock to 624Mhz for hours. There's a problem here and it's starting to look like hardware differences in my opinion. I thought it might have been operating system build versions differing, but that is slowly being ruled out as sub69 has the same o/s version as me!

Anyway, what say you all? Any suggestions on what's going on?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
pixelation

I get a pixelation problem after watching playback for about 20 mins...

I think these pda's have slightly different hardware features or so, since different people report different results... It doesn't bother me either way, I now know a workaround so i am happy, but i wont remove the pressure on i-mate/htc as i think the device was overpriced for what it can do... my opinion anyways... matter of fact i prefer to watch dvd's or divx on my compact player, or better still on laptop or desktop or tv bigger screen, using the jasjar will be only if i want to travel light and take a couple of movies to entertain myself...

greetings dudes...

(it took me 24 mins to re-encode a divx to the rate a third of what we normally use for hdtv on pc's)... quality ok, but ultimate pixelation is a pain in the a##...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Re: pixelation

Fair enough, but I can't afford to let it go. My experience over the years with PCs' has been that if your PC has powerful graphics processing capabilities in conjunction with a decent CPU, then all multimedia applications (inc video) will benefit. As the jasjar doesn't have a dedicated graphics accelaerator like the X50v, I am not expecting this...but it does have a 500+ Mhz CPU and in my experience of PPCs' should be more than capable of handling 640x480 vids! I suppose ultimately, we can't gat away from these two facts:

1) The CPU still has probably more to contend with in WM5.0 then its' predessors and is therefore unable to devote enough power to more CPU intensive applications without dedicated acceloration and....

2) As with most PPC software at the moment, what 3rd party software (inc TCPMP) has been specifically written with WM5.0 in mind? Potentially the reason for these issues.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Quite right. Unfortunately there isn't a single media player which was written specifically for WM5 (not even WMP10, right?) so we may be waiting for a while until a properly compatible player comes along with perfect performance?

Which .avi codecs can WMP10 handle, by the way?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
wmp10 codecs

for pc's with win xp, i dont know mostly because i always have all codecs i need installed... i had a friend who has a windows media center 2005 laptop and we could play a divx 5 straight away without using any codec...

for pocketpc's i have no clues, it certainly doesnt have codecs for xvid and divx as i tried this, mptcp is the only one who bothered to include most needed codecs...

and btw don't forget that MS hate opensource, so they will delay implementing opensource codecs unless they really have to :)

but how about the sound, any way to boost it, on headphones at least?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Re: Xvid Codecs for TCPMP? Maybe!

Funny you should say that nabil2000 (no codecs for PPC that is). sub69: this may be of interest to you too. using smartvideo concerter, they either have an option to install an xvid codec to the PPC as part of the smartmovie player or you can install the codec seperately. I wonder if this same codec could be utilised for TCPMP. You would have to go to their website to download the player and they offer the codec there. Additionally, TCPMP also have plugins for their player, I'm sure they are either codecs or equivalent. If I'm wrong please tell me, as this was picked up along the way and I didn't delve into it too much.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I used to use SmartMovie for my SonyEricsson P-series phones, I remember having their codec installed there too...

...what I'm thinking is that as TCPMP is a pre-WM5 piece of software, and WMP10 should be optimised for WM5 (although that's by no means certain, judging by Microsoft's track record!), we may all be more successful if we try encoding in a format which WMP10 understands, therefore cutting out a (possible) weak link...TCPMP.

It's been ages since I used SmartMovie though, and I've never used it on any of my PPC's, so can someone tell me if installing the SmartMovie codec enables you to use Xvid .avi's from within WMP10?

Also, throughout all of this I've been assuming that the native WMP10 codecs all result in having to have huge video files, I actually haven't tried encoding any WMP10-friendly Videos yet. Is there any list of WMP10 supported codecs, 'cause I can't find one :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
wmp10 codecs

encoding in mpeg4 for sure will be accepted by winMP10, in the past i used windows media encoder sdk that allows u to encode in wmv or asf format, now u can use windows movie maker 2 which is available for free with win xp...

in ppc wm2k5, there is no codec for xvid, or divx5, we need third party one, and tcpmp included them along with others ported from other open source codecs and adapted for wm2003...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
happier than before!!

Hi guys. Recenttly done a hard reset and let all cabs install. Only 3rd party software installed is TCPMP and it now plays 640x480 vids much better.

Nabil2000: You can even play divx movies at that resolution encoded @ 1500kbps! and it's pretty smooth. A few jerks here and there, but nothing unacceptable and with the mains plugged in, flawless!!

I think we should wait for the next ROM update and hope for the best!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
tired

mackaby007, i am tired of fiddling with it, i take your word for it... i now have set it up as i wish to use it... i have written to htc explaining about what i wished the machine could do... everybody is competing now for bigger storage and better video even apple with their announcement with a video playing ipod... my marketing hunch is that if u dont offer top specs u dont survive long (or at least the multimeddia digital device u are wishing to market)... thats my couple cents wisdom...

the machine is great (barring the necessary needed rom update fine-tuning), it just annoys me that i will feel compelled to buy the jasjar ii if they answer all my wishes :P (which are not by the way that out of this world, i never asked to fit the universal with a teleporter or a replicator lol)... i saw a 4GB palm in pcworld last night and the temptation was big to purchase it, but common sense prevailed (i am unfortunately a very impulsive buyer!) ...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
I share that same impulse, it's very costly isn't it? Anyway, good luck with your decision. At least you are truly well informed now. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Is there a way to actually fix the screen composition on custom ROM's?

I know that you can fix the confusion on android of whether to use GPU or CPU to draw the screen by going into 'Settings' -> 'Developer Tools' -> 'Disable HW Overlays'.

I've read on on Rootzwiki that disabling Hardware overlays take a toll on the CPU and battery.

What do we need to do to fix this? On stock ROMs they don't have this problem, then why should we have to :) .

What do they do differently? What can we do?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lamoxl:
Hi Everyone,

i have a problem with the FreeXperia Rom FXP236/237. I have updated my Xperia V yesterday. I have cleaned the phone and then I installed the new ROM.

- Wipe data / factory reset

- Install zip

- Wipe dalvik cache

After setting up the phone I noticed while using it, that it froze / rebooted every now and then. So I've installed the ROM again with the same result. Today i got the update to FXP237 with no improvements.

Can anyone help, what to look for or what I did wrong?

I checked the RAM utilization and found no problems (around 50%). But Bugreport tells me onyl 18mb free?

I read something about a wrong baseband, but have no idea if this applies to me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lamoxl:
edit:

I deactivated some apps and widgets. Problem was reduced but i am not sure which app caused the problem or if it was just too much for the phone. I do not understand, why do I get problems with the cyanogenmod , but with the stock firmwares or mod firmwares based on stock no problems. I had more apps or same apps running. Why is there a difference between memory usage shown in settings and bugreport?

Is there's anything I can do to solve this problem?

Terminal Service client should come with Windows Mobile 5.

SSH clients tend to be text-only. Otherwise you would need to tunnel the X-server connection out, which is not currently possbile for mobile devices. For more on SSH, check this:
