I'm back! ATI patch... looks like I've missed something :D

Great job, I did'nt have time to play with AKU3.2 to see what files were needed.

Anyway, this atihwtbl0.txt looks VERY interesting, it has so many options including CPU voltage and some Clk entries... and that "HwAutoFastTurboSwitch" entry which is disabled by default. Easy way to overclock (almost impossible so far) or to brick? :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
almost forgot: I remember that x.264 with ATI acceleration did work but I didn't like it because there is no "dither" option (like in DirectDraw) and so there was some ugly banding - any workaround to this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
I believe there is a post in the corecodec forum HERE
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
Yes, I've been there some time ago :)

Anyway, I've posted my question on new CoreCodec forums. Maybe it can be fixed by using some options during reencoding, so no dithering would be needed on device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Ive never encoded into AVC, is it any good??

The videos i use at the moment are encoded using THIS method.

They playback flawlessly using directdraw YV12
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] meroupow:
Ok I got it,

The best option now for trinity is to use TCPMP 0.81RC1 beta (I know it's not official, but it's still the best).

Install ATIFix patch.

Then you have 3 options:

- Ati Imageon Decoder (+50% speed but still artefacts)

- Ati Imageon (+20% speed, no artefacts)

- Directdraw (good dithering, but less filtering than Ati Imageon)

The trick is that coreplayer only gives you "Ati Imageon Decoder" option so you still get artefacts that's why I thoughts ATIFix did not improve anything at first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
I use coreplayer, it allows you to enable or disable ATI acceleration, so you can use ATI without acceleration.

Anyway, if anyone is re-encoding, I found XviD to be the best.

First option is to NOT use Motion Search option while encoding and that solves artefacts problem completely :D but file gets 2x bigger. Coreteam did not respond if that's possible to somehow fix that, now that we know what exactly is causing artefacts.

Personally I think it's better to encode with XviD with everything enabled including Motion Search Ultra mode, encoding mode set to Quantizer 4 (try 3 or 2 for best quality). Resulting file is small, quality is very good and you can play it with ATI but acceleration disabled.

If you want DivX, set profile to Mobile, 1-pass quality target quantizer 2, Codec - Insane Quality, Video: resize to 320, no adjustments, resize Lanchos4, all other defaults.

For even better quality but bigger file: profile to Home Theater, quality target 2, all other options as above, bidirectional encoding is available in this mode I didnt have time to test just set it to Off.

P.S. I installed ATIFix by manually editing atihwtbl0.txt, then copying it to Windows folder, then I did not soft reset, but I pressed-hold power to shut down, then started up as usual.

working well, slight av sync issue

using tcpmp .72 version, followed mrvanx guide, (thank you for putting so much info into your guides in an organized fashion), using old cing rom and video runs great. I noticed a slight 150-200 ms sound delay, which was easily compensated for. Is this common?

This probably wasn't a great test as I only encoded a short B&W three stooges video. So there wasn't a massive amount of data to be handled, but it was the first dvd I grabbed.

Will color strain the processor more?

Is the sync issue common?

Is there a way to accurately calibrate this, or will it vary with the particular dvd that you encode?

actually the sound was ahead of the video.And I tried multiple different video settings, but there did not seem to be much difference in the sync issue. Picture appeared marginaly better in rawbuffer mode, but not significant.

Hey guys, I tried the fix on my 8525. Right away I noticed that I got no sound from my screen taps and tapping the Start button.

I started Core Player 1.0.4 and it gave me a "Wave Output Error".

I restarted my 8525 when the fix asked me to. Am I doing something wrong

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aquarius0128:
OK I left my phone and when I went back and got it the touch screen wasn't working. I think the idiot there tried to put the operating system on his desktop because he was asking me if I had a disc with one on it. .......

When I restart while pushing vol down, the screen shows:

I have cleared storage, recovery, factory reset, reload bootloader, reboot,.......[I didn't document what I did or did't do , what order......I didn't keep record of what I did so all I can say LESSON LEARNED] when the phone boots up I have the lock screen but the touch screen doesnt work, just the power, vol +, vol-

I tried using a RUU my pc recognizes the evo , checks the version which is 3. 17. 651. 4 asks if I want to update to 4. 13. 651. 4 goes to screen that says rebooting to bootloader right after that the usb connection is lost and the screen says waiting on bootloader..... the phone screen is black with silver HTC logo in middle, the computer pops up with message that the last USB device you connected to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize. The RUU shows error 171 no USB connection and exit button. The USB connection is gone, the black screen HTC logo stays until I restart the phone then I have lock screen no touch screen workings and usb connection working and message at top of screen usb file sharing . I did download minimal fastboot adb and when I tried to use it, I could get the phone to show fastboot usb, but it didnt have the usb connection active. It says usb file sharing, is USB debugging On? ADB does't find device.........I am unlocked S-on and can't discern what I did to do and in what order. I am getting that I need to get S-OFF, I tried RUMRUNNER but adb doesnt reconize device so.......If I try to fastboot with out the sd card in it, it doesn't seem to run bootloader, from HBOOT I choose fastboot, goes to screen, I choose bootloader and it just goes back to HBOOT screen. Please advise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
To run a RUU on your phone you will need to relock your bootloader. You need to install HTC Sync on your PC, which will install needed drivers to your computer. You can run a RUU from the bootloader while connected via Fastboot USB mode. For more info on RUU's and how to run one hit the top link in my sig and read the RUU section. That guide also includes a link to an article on how to set up ADB on your PC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aquarius0128:
HTC Can't Connect, ADB doesn't find, PC Does

I read the RUU section, well I read all of it, so I understand that I have to relock bootloader to run a RUU so I installed HTC Sync and sdk. When I connect data cable, my pc opens file viewer and I can look at files on phone. When restart to HBOOT, I lose connection to pc with a message saying usb device has malfunctioned. When I fastboot and go down to reboot or reboot bootloader, I get fastboot usb, but when I try to use adb or fastboot they are waiting on device and never does find it.. I downloaded the usb driver didn't help. HTC Sync says to unlock screen and/or accept request which I can do neither since screen is nr. Is usb file sharing on and dev debug off why this is happening? If so what can I do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
USB file sharing and debugging mode won't matter when using Fastboot commands. Are you on Windows 7, 8, 8.1?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aquarius0128:
Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
It's a driver issue with 8.1. Google it & you'll find a few guides to help you get your PC set up properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batroid:
Greetings,

I'm looking for help in the following scenario: some days ago I found that my Galaxy Note had rebooted, and got stuck at the Samsung logo. The phone has the stock rom, it is not rooted and is running Jellybean.

Recovering from this situation hasn't been possible. I tried:

- pulling the battery

- rebooting from recovery mode

- wiping cache partition.

I haven't tried a factory reset because the problem appeared as I was on vacation and there are some some photos I'd like to recover.

Taking this also as a learning experience, I have read several documents on recovery mode, adb, etc. So far I have managed to access via ADB. I could successfully run adb pull, however it seems not all data came through.

I don't have /mnt visible, no DCIM folder, and sdcard or sdcard1 have no contents. I've attached the screenshot of the Android Device Monitor.

For example, adb pull /sdcard returns 0 files.

I think maybe something is not properly mounted...? I tried to search similar issues it's not clear to me how to proceed. Anyway this is the output of 'mount' in case is helps:

shell@android:/dev $ mount

mount

rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0

tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batroid:
So after spending some time experimenting and reading about filesystems, ADB, sideloading, recovery mode (even went to a Samsung repair centre (they answered straight "no" regarding getting data from the internal memory)), I had to go with the factory reset.

So I answered 'yes' to all the warnings about losing all data, took a deep breath and waited...

Phone turns back on, usual out-of-the-box wizards etc, and then I start realising some options are the same as I had them... then I open the camera and notice a known picture in the gallery thumbnail... so, in a Christmas miracle, all my photos and personal files were NOT touched by the factory reset! It all lies inside /storage/sdcard0 and apparently this isn't touched by the reset.

Ya.. Its no problem for me to go back to Bada 2.0..
[Android Development on Bada] Taxidriver05:
Where is the problem?

You only need any bada 2.0 ROM... You can download e.g. "firefly ROM" at badaNIA.de. It is just important that you also flash fitting BOOTFILES and FOTA... These files are linked in the relevant thread of your desired Android-ROM...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
It's been like 10+ months since the original S5 was released. Now I am talking about the SM-G900F. Cause there are so many of them, and I m a bit lost as far some of the specs are concerned. Could someone clarify things here a bit? I am a bit surprised this hasn't been discussed already...

I have done some research, and I found the following S5 "variants". I briefly mention the differences from the "base" model, namely "SM-G900F":

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A SM-G901F (Europe) aka "S5 Plus"

This is one's got 805 SD, Krait 450, Adreno 420 and LTE Cat6

...vs the 801 / 400 / 330 and LTE Cat4 of the base model

Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos SM-G900FD

Same hardware as the based model but with Dual SIM support

My question here is whether the DUOS supports all the video rec modes found in the base model?

e.g. 1080@30fps?

Also, is the SAR measure based on both SIMS working simultaneously?

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A G906S

This is shares the same hardware with the G901F (S5 Plus) but it has 3GB of RAM and that incredible 577 ppi from the same size 5.1in screen...right? Supposively exclusive for Korea only, but people say it works fine across Europe at all bands 2G, 3G, LTE...

Samsung Galaxy S5 Active SM-G870F

This one lacks the fingerprint sensor of the base model (which I honestly don't care about) and also hosts the same 16MP camera, but at a slightly less resolution i.e. 3456 x 4608 vs 5312 x 2988

There is an octa-core version of the S5, which I didn't include, as I am not interested in it, as it doesn't support LTE (???!!!)

Now, assuming all these are correct, I m still confused as to which should I chose. The S5 Plus (G901F) is good, but overshadowed by the G906S which has more RAM and a better screen.

I would like to go for the DUOS, but does it have the same camera features of the base model? Is it really as good as the base model in all other areas? Cause its exactly same size/weight, so what gives?

The S5 Active G870F was just released in Europe and it's still too expensive. Otherwise, is the camera as good as the one in the base model?

Or should I just toss everything else and go for the base model G900F, which will also save me some $$ as it's cheaper from the rest?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:
have a look at the development page see if there is any custom roms and support for each phone.

If you not bothered by that i would like the 3gig ram one please :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
Thanx juDGEY2k10 (love your avatar btw....)

I m not interested in a custom ROM or rooting the phone at the moment. I just try to make up my mind spec-wise. I too have a slight pref towards the G906S - seems like the best all-rounder :)

Can I ask - if you have Silent mode ON, does that still mute the camera sounds? (at least in 4.1.2 it did)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:
Just tested and yes it dose mate no sound at all
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
Cheers mate!

Just to add up to my previous comment regarding the G906S...well it's out of my consideration. It turns out that the uprated CPU/chipset/GPU combo don't do much good to compesate for its remarkable screen, which sucks away it's juice, making it slower even compared to the original S5. OK, I d like to have that screen, but not at that cost - don't you think too?

I d rather have the 'Plus' version (G901F), which lacks the screen and that 1GB of RAM, but still has the same uprated hardware...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
Was wondering...some of those phones that come as part of a network upgrade (e.g. from T-Mobile in Germany), carry network branding in the software. Like showing "T-Mobile" at phone start up. If there any way around through this? I m not talking a custom ROM, but if it's possible to get the Samsung factory/retail ROM, so that it won't have any branding or logos. Is that possible?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
Regarding the brading issue, I found the following:

1. Download debranded firmware for your phone.

2. Open ODIN, boot your phone into Download mode.

3. Connect your phone to your PC and select the firmware in ODIN on PDA section.

4. Click Start and wait for the firmware to install.

5. Boot your phone into Recovery mode and wipe data and factory reset.

6. Reboot your phone.

OK - branding gone for now. But what happens when a new official firmware is released? Will I be able to flash directly from Samsung? Or would I have to use ODIN again? If not, how does Samsung know that this phone is tied to a specific provider? (IMEI?)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:
Get a stock rom flash it with odin as long as u dont root it or use a custom recovery u should be able to do OTA updates via samsung. Dont think they track the phone in that way its just down to the phone, if its been customised at all (root bla bla not supported by samsung) But you will not be on their list of people who have messed with their phones or anything like that.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstoner:
Yup. I m only looking for "stock" at the moment, so having OTA update capability is vital for me.

Can anyone confirm this? Someone who tried it on an S5 variant I mean...
