The Core Player may be working on a solution now for issues with the QTV driver for the Qualcomm video. If this is the answer... can I get half? ;p

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cruton:
It's more likely that Coreplayer's solution will only work for Coreplayer.

Put me down for 25.00
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
No you cannot! The Core Player solution is an application specific solution for QTV, which in itself is a driver that should be used by other drawing drivers when applicable. Blame Qualcomm for not opening up the specification and making it public, or I would've written a TCPMP plugin for it long ago. The whole idea behind the QTV driver is that apps could make use of it, however because it is not 'published' by Qualcomm we cannot.

It's a silly concept really, "yeah we got this hardware accellerated video playback driver, but we're not going to tell you how it works unless you give us $10k to become an authenticated developer, and even then you cannot access it decently, only through our obscure proprierity API and platform that no one likes and is 100% incompatible with normal Windows Mobile software solutions".

Forgive my anger but SCREW QUALCOMM. Is their platform not usable from normal applications? Yes it is. But they won't divulge how it works, or even respond to (polite!) inquiries at all. They just want you to use their CRAPPY ASS BREW platform that is about as usable as a dead rat is when trying to romance that special girl.

Companies like these are what ticks me off, as a developer. Protecting your investments is one thing, screwing over all your customers is quite another.

And you know what, screw the Core Player guys too. Apparently they figured it out, well Kudos for that to them. Respect. But FFS capitalism has gotten the best of these guys, whatever happened to doing something for the common good? Total disrespect for that negates the entire respect I had for the accomplishment itself.

Again, if I'm coming off really harsh here, forgive me, I'm in a really bad mood.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Epsii:
i'll pledge $20.

I've also contacted Qualcomm and pleaded for them to release the drivers since they obviously have them.

Put me down for $20.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SCSweeps:
I asked this in the other thread, but I'll ask it here as well: What does it mean if someone actually made the driver. Would the driver work automatically for all applications that use video (players, camera, ect), or just programs that specifically use D3D/OpenGL ES.

So I guess what I'm saying is, how does the driver work exactly?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cruton:
I'll take a stab at that question.

It'll be like when you've just installed Windows on a pc and the desktop is very sluggish and you can't play games. Then you install the video card driver and everything is happy.

In theory, an application has to be made to specifically use d3d or opengl for this to be useful. But that's nearly every high performance app. Not sure how it will work out for regular 2d stuff. Not real sure about the camera either.

So if we got one then:

3d games becomes much faster.

the ui might speed up.

video playback becomes faster.

the dead in Christ shall rise

those of us watching this topic on this forum will become very bored and confused and need a new crusade

and camera performance will probably still suck

Guys -

Don't know if anyone here heard of him but Superdave is a PPC user/programmer very active on pdaphonehome i760 thread. When I had my i730, superdave fixed the inherent problems that the manufacturer didn't - he literally performed miracles. If it were not for him the i730 would have been unusable.

I've contacted him to ask if he'd be interested in taking a stab at it. The problem is I believe he's a Samsung i760 user - but I'm sure if he had a Kaiser he'd give it a shot...

Let's see what he responds.

Care to elaborate as to why?

I would have thought paying for a complete device, you should expect all the fundamental software/drivers pre-installed. How would you react if the dialer app was missing?... Would you go ahead and pay 3rd parties to write you one? ... If so, I so very pity you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beta_boy:
All... I have been asked to post here so I will....

In the next version of CorePlayer Mobile (version 1.2) we have created a means to enabled the video hardware acceleration for Qualcomm QTV (Kaiser/Tilt). As far as a making a generic driver available the DLL is there all you need to do is figure out their API's.

I will post more info on this later but the great thing is the Kaiser/Tilt playback is now flawless on CorePlayer!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] A_X:
Thanks for the good work! I will definately show my appreciation for it by purchasing your product! When will it be released?

I still really hope somebody will be able to work out how these "API's" work and set them up properly
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
The whole point is that how these QTV API's work should be public information. Besides they are not a one-stop solution. While I understand you keep this information private as to boost CorePlayer sales when the new version comes out ;)

However, how the whole thing is done severely annoys me. QTV offers no extra value. The actual scaling, blitting etc shoud already be hardware accellerated by normal video drivers, and those are missing. If this were the case, for example playback through TCPMP using DirectDraw or GDI methods should already work perfectly. Furthermore, the MPEG 4 and other hardware supported decoding functionalities should have been implemented using something like DirectShow, instead of a vendor propriarity API. Using QTV 'manually' should not be necessary AT ALL.

The whole setup reeks of vender lock-in, and obviously that is bad for consumers in general, as well as developers who need to spend extra time on implementing this (and it isn't even documented!).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
I agree with Chainfire. Unfortunately, if Core Player makes this work it will take the pressure off HTC and associates to make this work properly. And the Core Player solution will cost probably 30+ more $$ AND will work only for video, not games, or probably the camera.

I really admire the hard work of this community, but I think it is somewhat couter productive to getting HTC to do anything to fix their shortcomings. HTC aught to show a lot more respect and listen to the membership since the membership is responsible for probably 90% of the support provided for these devices. I bet this forum saves them hundreds of thousands of dollars in support cost every year. And they won't even acknowledge our petition? Pretty sad.

So here's an idea... what if all the members stopped asking questions on the board and asked HTC support instead. Or if you have a question, post it here AND call HTC support then report back on whether HTC provided a solution vs this forum provided a solution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] omikr0n:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ceevee369:
With all respect beta-boy, your company has no benefit (anymore) once those drivers go public and "might" even be improved by some experts on this forum no?

Putting pressure on HTC therefore seems meaningless as you will offer a solution they do not want to give us fro free…

As an owner of Coreplayer 1.1, I did posted a few questions on your own website, though there was no response.

I am sure that potential buyers of Coreplayer release 1.2 would like to know if the driver will also improve the slow camera performance.

Be transparent pls. am not convinced at all that those video drivers will solve the camera issue

As for the HTC local boycott I mentioned, we were able to persuade 5 potential Tytn II buyers here in Taipei, TW to re consider their purchase , showing our own Tytn II . 2 of them changed towards another HTC device . 2 others would “think again” and one bought an ETen 800.

I know, it is not much, but it is better than simply ranting. I do not offered my second cheek but prefer to fight back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beta_boy:
Camera? No. All we have done is figure out how their API's work in relationship to video playback (blitting, overlay, etc.). So I thinking putting the pressure on HTC is still a great idea and one I have already sent an email about.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ceevee369:
OK, thanks for the response regarding the Camera though. So, fact is that we will have a probable 3rd party paid solution for the video play back but still a ultimate slow camera (which I thought the screen was also operated with the same driver no?

Anyway. awaiting your Coreplayer announcement on CES, and hopefully you visit the HTC booth to show them your solution. Even more curious to know what they will reply.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beta_boy:
The way HTC works CES is more like 99% sale reps so trying to find the right person there would be at best 'a challenge'.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] A_X:
HTC...

Thanks. That's what I thought already...

Here's my theory: Cosidering the fact that HTC is pretending to be stupid and is ignoring the problem completely, this leads me to believe that they are intentionally not utilizing the full potential of the Qualcomm chip. The most likely reason for this is the fact that it might have too large of an impact on the battery life of the device. The TyTNII is already a heavy weight, another 100grams of battery would probably decrease sales by as much as 10% (which is a lot on that level). Although, I have heard from several people that the Polaris/Cruise is experiencing the same problems...

This is why I am not expecting any solution from HTC's side. A third party figuring out how to use the API's of the driver... Perhaps when a new device is launched that IS correctly set up with the same chip will somebody "hopefully" be able to copy it or so... That's my only hope..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gthing:
You've got it backwards. Proper hardware rendering will do the same thing as the current software rendering in less processor cycles - making it quicker AND more efficient.

Proper drivers will more than likely increase battery life.

Why not a pledge escrow?

Like many of us geekish folk, I'm terrible at budgeting.

I'd love to pledge $10 or $20, but I know very well that come time to pay up, I may be broke.

I'd rather pay into a fund upfront.

:) Hi

Count me for 30$ when the final product release.

I make some tests and i see that the frame rate in day light is 20fps, but

in the night or in door i get about 3fps when i record video.

I i m sure that a very important reason for this the auto focus function.

Is there anyway to disable it ?

In my HTC i see 3 d3dm.dll

a) d3dm.dll

b)default_d3dm.dll

c)htc_d3dm

I try all of them( change the registry values , soft reset, check the values in

regisrty again ) but i see no different.I use the core player benchmark , and

the camera fps indication.

I see in the specs of msm7200 that have

QTV

Qcamera

Qdecorder

for 3d acceleration, decoding/encodind video etc. but in my phone i see only

the qtv.dll .Is there any way to find or use the other dlls ?

That litle comments for now.I try some registrry tricks for video and i will tell

you when i testit with good results.

Happy new year to all with 3d accelerartion !!!!!!!

I just saw this thread and a feeling of relief ran through me. Not that there *is* yet currently any solution to the video slowness of the Kaiser, but finally that I've found some people who all agree on there being slowness in the first place.

I bought that phone after watching numerous deleriously positive video reviews on YouTube and reading review articles. Nowhere did anyone comment on the terrible video performance this thing has. I can't believe so many people appear to be completely insenstive to such awful user interface responsiveness.

I would gladly pay $50 to get video performance approaching that of my old WM2003 Magician.

Considering a project, with release after 1 months and bugfixing for a year. With 2-4 men on it initially and 0.2 after 1 month for about a year: probably over 100k if you ask me.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MakDroid:
Ok Guys, enough posts about VoLTE not working in supported Roms too. Some users are constantly flooding threads with VoLTE issues so here is a proper guide to get it working.

UPDATE - 12/23

Note : The old guide failed to work for me when I flashed MIUI and tried to follow the same steps but the guide below worked every single time.

1 - Flash MIUI Global Beta 6.11.3 Fastboot using MiFlash - Link

2 - Setup your phone and make sure you get VoLTE icon. If not, try to reset apn and then reboot and reset apn again.

3- Once you get VoLTE in MIUI, unlock bootloader using MiFlashUnlock.

4 - Flash ZCX Recovery. Don't use any other recovery.

5 - Go to backup and backup your efs partition as well as firmware(rom) partition.

6 - Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system.

7 - Flash any VoLTE enabled rom and gapps. Don't restore anything yet.

8 - Boot your rom and complete setup.

9 - Go to recovery and restore previous backup.

10 - Boot and Voila.

The old Guide:

Note: -

Follow the steps exactly as mentioned.

1 - Download the latest fastboot flashable Global Beta MIUI Rom. I used 6.12.8.

2 - Flash the downloaded fastboot Rom using MiFlash.

3 - Let the phone boot and perform setup till you get to the point where it asks for your MI account credentials. (Make sure you see VoLTE in the status bar during setup).

4 - Unlock the bootloader using MiFlashUnlock.

5 - Flash ZCX Recovery. *IMPORTANT*

[Optional Steps] This might be just a placebo but it worked anyhow for me so you can try it.

5.1 - Flash latest Xiaomi EU rom (Beta).

5.2 - Boot your phone and complete the setup.

6 - Backup your EFS using ZCX Recovery.

7 - Wipe Dalvik, System, Data and Cache.

8 - Flash any VoLTE supported Rom and Gapps. I used Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 and OpenGapps Mini. (Do not flash cm14 firmware zip or any other zip like custom kernel or SuperSU yet.)

9 - Let the Rom boot and complete setup.

10 - *VERY IMPORTANT* Just keep your 4g sim inside the phone and that too in 1st Sim slot only. I had Jio 4g and Idea so I removed Idea sim and put Jio 4g in 1st slot. (While removing and inserting sim, you should keep your phone in airplane mode).

11 - Check if you have VoLTE now. If not, then don't worry, proceed to next step.

12 - Reboot to recovery and flash the cm14 firmware. Do not restore the EFS yet.

13 - Reboot to system and check if VoLTE works now. If not, proceed to next step.

14 - Reboot to recovery and restore your EFS backup.

15 - Reboot to system and check if VoLTE works now. It should definitely work now.

16 - Enjoy. Now you can put your 2nd sim back and flash kernels and supersu and what not.
