Sorry this is late...

I believe 'handbrake' is free and there is a freeware version of DVD decrypter too, but not the platinum version (which does the same job, but with many additional features). The other software I mentioned is NOT freeware, but there are trial software versions which will give you the opportunity to thoroughly test it out.

Yes these are the programs I personally use. I do all of the above.:)

Downloaded DVD rips I simply copy to my micro-SDHC card (8GB), but HD content convert to 320x240 MP4 (H.263 Kaiser accleration friendly ;)). However for DVD series, i.e. nature documentaries etc, I use Handbrake to convert from unencrypted DVD to MP4 or 'AnyVideoConverter' to same MP4. 'PocketDivxConverter' is probably the easiest and best app to use if you want very good quality in a short space of time, but it won't look half as good as an accelerated MP4 in Windows Media Player at the same bitrate!

hmmm.....!?!? I tend to leave settings on auto for framerate (keep as original source) or select 30fps. Works fine for me. At 15 fps, I really do notice a difference in fluidity (but no lost frames in benchmarking), some others may argue that point, but that's my experience. However 30 fps or thereabouts results in much more fluid playback, even if the occasional frame is lost at high bitrate encoding.

Sorry about the delayed reply, but forgot to check back on this thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] -haze-:
Thanks for that Pocket Divx Encoder, I'll try it out tonight.

So far I've used DVDFab Platinum 4.x to covert a DVD to MP4 240x320. Standard MP4 with 24 AAC sound. Plays OK in windows media player from SD. Gonna try to improve sound and try watching on Coreplayer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mattster_spv:
Hi Audio.

Thanks for the time you have spent offering us all these suggestions.

I have just downloaded Kingdia Video Converter. During the setup, it has directed me to download and install about 8 different .exe files (real alternative, quicktime alternative, windows 11 runtime, etc).

I don't know if you remember this happening when you first installed the program, but do I really need to install all of these files as well? It's suggesting I delete my original Quicktime files plus other codecs I have already on my computer in favour of substituting them for its own suggestions! My initial reaction has been to say no in all cases.

What is you recommendation?

Thanks in advance,

Mattster.

UPDATE: Converting a movie (that had lagging playback) to .avi using "Kingdia Video Converter" has given me perfect playback, but I just realised it's a TRIAL VERSION of Kingdia Video Converter and has only given me the first 30% of the movie!!! Reading the smallprint..... Free to try; $29.95 to buy. Nothing for free in this world! :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mattster_spv:
Another question: In setting up Ashampoo Movie Shrink & Burn, what desired display size should I choose? I'm not sure what catagory my HTC Trinity falls into.... is it older than 5 years, in which case 320 pixels width is apparently the option, or is it a newer PDA at 640 or 800 pixels width?

Sorry if these are dumb q'. I just want to get it right, and so far searching threads and google hasn't helped.

Thanks,

Mattster.

I use Orb with suprizingly good results, but its kinda grainy if you dont have/use a wifi connecion im going to try your method latter :-D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joihan777:
Thanks Audio, those are pretty good ideas for those who choose to employ this route.

For the past several years, i rip my DVD to 2 files, a DIVX that I can keep on my laptop and an wmv/avi for use in my phones (Wizard & Tilt).

The rip is done in one click, automatically, with all adjustments pre-configured.

I use a great program (commercial, but not expensive) called DVD Catalyst.

I rip all my kid DVD's, and always have the videos handy on long drives... bored to tears etc.

Hope you can check it out (free trial for one device): http://www.clickapps.com/download.htm?pvid=21867
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bennyj71:
For ripping Dvds with H264. I use handbrake. It's slow as hell though. I set up before I go to bed(It has a shutdown option). Add the file in the morning. For Video files, like OP mentioned .avi files of 700-800mb, I use Sompy Movie Encoder!!! People please check it out. I read through all these posts of people complaining. Sompy will convert a 700mb file to about 130mb in about six minutes. I've used it for 100 movies and 43 tv episodes. Works with both TCPMP and Coreplayer. Of course Core is waaaayy better quality. Sompy Movie Encoder is free, I got from Cnet Download.com section.

[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
After several days of using. I have to say that the ROM works really good. I could not find any bug

Enviado desde mi Xperia M2 Aqua mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
how is the general speed of the ROM? previously it was reported that it's quite laggy compared to lineage OS.

also did you experience the overheating issue when livedisplay is enabled and the offline charging problem? (both reported in the LineageOS thread)
[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
None of that things

[Sony Xperia M2] sulko:
Thanks a lot, the rom is great. I have only a little problem with build in File Manager it can't get access to sd card.
[Sony Xperia M2] Lavire69:
Try this called "Files" or something
[Sony Xperia M2] sulko:
Thanks, i find the solution, i remove original apk, and install CMFileManager-3.0.0-LOS14.1-CM13.apk. It work for me for now.

edit: but unfortunately i lose access to root in this apk
[Sony Xperia M2] fuadmaksum:
I can't use phone app, please help

[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
Try mixplorer. The best all in one file manager in my opinion. Available in xda labs and forum
[Sony Xperia M2] sulko:
Thanks, actually is a great piece of soft.
[Sony Xperia M2] dk_ny:
Great Rom , Just 2 smal Bugs

Thanks for that Rom ! , makes my M2 great again ! :good::laugh:

Just 2 little Bugs , that wasnt in the First Version .

1. If i set a 6-Digit Security lock , sometimes Phone is not accepting my Code , then i have to restart to unlock again.

2. In a Phone Call , sometimes the Display do not wake up if i look on the phone, so i can´t End Calls for example. I need to wait, till the other person who called hung up.

I Did a complete New Installation , no Dirty Flash.

Someone does have the same Bugs or can help me to fix them ?.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
I guess the quickest fix will be setting power button to hang up [emoji14]

You could just press it to hang up when your screen is frozen or does not light up...
[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
One thing I'm having problems is something related to SD permissions. Basically the apps wont show me the interface to choose the External SD and give permissions, I dont know if I am explaining. Here is a pic of Solid Explorer when I try to delete a file on my SD

Testing RR RC 1 and got SD related problem too.

currently 8gb sandisk, formated by system

i can see files structure into file explorer.

when launching camera i get "can't access sd" message

but couldn't find option to choose storage mode in ui.

except that, smooth experience overal, normal drain.

apreciating the very complete/customizable ui.

Speaking UI is there a way to rotate contact pictures in landscape mode ?
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
I also had it after updating the firmware or after changing the card (I do not remember exactly).

The solution is to clear the cache in applications in the camera properties. And I cleaned all the caches in TWRP.

After that, the camera worked normally with an SD card.
[Sony Xperia M2] sulko:
I have two question about native voip client in this rom. It work great even over lte and 3g, but my incoming call display in format 'number@sip_domain', is there possibility to display incoming call in format 'number' only. Second question, is there way to indicate whether sip account is login or not on sip server. Perfect would be red or green icon on status bar.
[Sony Xperia M2] garcimak:
Is it me or offline charging is failing to boot the phone ?

battery was at 80%, i got the sony logo and returns to charge animation.

i went to unplug the charger from the wall just to be able booting the phone and let the charge continue.
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Yes, this is known, but we're out of ideas how to fix it. :(
[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
I'm having problems with permissions on SD Card. I can write/delete anything. When an App request me for SD Permissions, it des not show me the app that should appear. I put something here a bit up, but clear cache didn't help me:

This is what should appear:
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
SD card you mean external memory card? Rename folder . Android_secure,just rename ex. . Android_secure_dog
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzordzuxtt:
Im having little problem with lucky patcher, it patching so slow and on cm 13 rom work faster than RR nougat and I have a problem with go to recovery, when I try to click power button and vol- it isn't work for me and I must click reset button and it working but slowly loading logo twrp but others works fine.

Sorry for bad English :silly:
[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
Oh thanx, but unfortunetly I finished flashed LinOS because I am on holiday tomorrow

[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Have a good time. Greetings from Poland
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
I already mentioned this on LOS thread. This probably caused by the app only using one core instead multi core.

It's not that you can't enter recovery without hard power off, but the phone isn't completely off. The vibration is fake :silly:

For long twrp logo. I think it's not a big deal. :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzordzuxtt:
Thanks for answer but how to fix it :laugh:
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Recode LP app adding code that forces it to use multithreading.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzordzuxtt:
But how to do it :o
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
You can't. Only app developer can... Unless you'd have sources of that app... But it's not possible as it's not open sourced.
[Sony Xperia M2] iFlashed:
Thanks mate!

[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Little update about using RC1 for couple of weeks: Battery life and performance* is good but *lags and freezes sometimes are very frustrating. I know i know, OP made note about lags/freezes (caused by SELinux) so it's not a complaint ^^ So for now i stay with RC1 and waiting for RC2 ;)

EDIT:

Oooch i forgot! SafetyNet is working perfectly :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Nothing wrong with selinux. Sdcardfs is the problem. Will be fixed in next release :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Oh, okay :D So i keep waiting :D I hope that with building new build (xD) is everything ok ;]

EDIT: [MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION] i think maybe i found another bug. Sometimes phone loses the SIM card. It happen maybe 1-2 times for 1-2 weeks. Its weird because it not happen on build before RC1 or another :3

[ROM][7.1.2]Resurrection Remix-N | RC 1 | Development & Discussion

Hello, I have a question, is there any official version of RR Remix?, is there support for xperia m2 and will be updated ResurrectionRemix on our phone???:)
[Sony Xperia M2] wulf16121994:
Why don't you answer?:crying:
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Currently installed this, must say I'm impressed by battery life and speed of ROM and functionality/customizability. Although for me I have noticed a few bugs already...

1) File Manager fails to access SD Card. Also, for some reason it doesn't ask me for root so I can't access many folders; also I can't change modes in settings since the option is not there... Using FX File Explorer for now - although it also can't reach Root folders...

2) Camera - for some reason I can't start recording video with default app, "Could not start media recording" error or something similar... Should I try reflashing cleanly again, or use alternatives?

Off-Topic:

3) SafetyNet - I'm not sure exactly what's the purpose of it, but even with newest stable Magisk it passes fine.

4) Xposed (unofficial) - didn't try it. Too unstable to my liking.

So yeah, some small bugs here and there, but I'm liking it a lot. Thank you developer, hopefully next RC will be soon! (Also, suggestions to the camera problem? I hope it's not only me... )
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
Why don't you ask your mom? Really... It was only 5 hours, and you already crying?

I think this is unofficial build because the update is not on regular basis (Please correct me if I'm wrong). The dev also working on it. Just be patient.

1. I can access my sdcard with default file manager and mixplorer. Root mode in mixplorer is working too.

2. Camera is working fine on my phone. Default camera (work), cameranextmod v7 (work), a better camera (work)

3. I don't care with safety net :p

4. I don't use xposed.

I hope your problem solved soon :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Also 2 PMs with the same question...wtf is wrong with you mate?!

Anyway..

No official support. But ROM is clean. No fancy hacks to make it work,no extra stuff.

Is there support for M2? Uhm...this thread provides a ROM for the M2...so I dont get your question...

New update will come this week.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Sorry to be bothering you, but I'm back with bug reports.

Did a clean rom reinstall again and File Manager regained Root access, but SD card access is still not working (I've read here a few had these problems, so I'll just use a different app).

Camera even after a clean reinstall is still a no-go - photos are working well, but as soon as I start recording video it, like, hangs and after like 10-15 seconds it crashes... But it didn't even start recording, although recording beep was there.

Attaching logcat, hopefully it will be useful. (Had to zip it, since after using camera for less than 1 minute the logcat was over 1 MB, and forum didn't like that size)

EDIT: Never mind, Camera fixed itself after doing a Data Clean. Looking forward to next update!

2nd EDIT: Found the bug - as soon as I enabled Stabilization option, it started crashing again. Disabled - working well.
[Sony Xperia M2] wulf16121994:
New update 5.8.4??
[Sony Xperia M2] prismaanandito:
Hello, anyone here uses sd card as internal shared storage? I have a problem where the apps on external storage cannot be moved back to internal. Do I need to re-flash the rom?
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
I am using SD card as internal and don't have any problem of moving app to internal and vice versa
[Sony Xperia M2] prismaanandito:
Okay. I guess making a backup in ext4 and then restoring it into f2fs causing so many problems :eek:

Hi friends

In this Rom like Lineage,resurrection remix was not supported illumination bar on Sony music,album,video.How to fix it please tell me it's answer thx,,,, for developer's this best rom.
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
No fix. You can't.
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
There have been pictures of the phone with working illumination bar in ths thread but i dont think anyone got it working IRL
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
It's work. When playing music and when tapping the screen. It looks really cool.
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
what did you do to enable it?
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
Use the kernel that has illumination bar module. And an init.d script/executable for music. The kernel and the script is in LOS thread. I test it on LOS.
[Sony Xperia M2] djkrafter:
Hello, I have a question, will there be updates LineageOS 14.1 for Sony m2??, if Yes, when?
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
The developers are working on it, please don't ask for Eta's we will get the updates when its time
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
RC 2 Released!

ROM link updated in the 1st post.

Changelog in second post.

Enjoy! :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Wow, no new recovery? :p it's even better, because i have no time now to play fun with flashing recovery :D
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Question, what "stock" are you talking about in the changelog, the M2 stock or RR-stock? And also, why stock, if I may ask also?
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
M2 stock ROM.

Cause it provides a more stable base.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Ah, okay then. Thanks for explaining.
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
I have clean flashed RC2 and I can't save edited Mixer patchs.xml. When I flash arise levictus 1.3 or arise exhodus lose all sound in phone, in all previous version of rom arise work perfect. Any idea to fix this?
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Hi, is there way to have root for a while? I need root to delete some apps and after that to off root (because i want netflix to work).

PS. In options i found "Access to root" but there's only "Disabled" and "Only ADB".
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
There is no point in doing that, just disable them!

They will come back after a new update. It's an infinite loop ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
I'll try this :p

I know that they'll come back :p that's why they came back in the night, when i flashed new build :D

By the way - since 14h no freeze, no lags :) So broken sd card is fixed, i think :D
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
If you really need root, you can go with Magisk. Other option would be just installing root addon from LineageOS website (which just adds remaining options in dev options menu for root).
[Sony Xperia M2] Umesh1041:
Guys...it's time I ask..ever since the first nougat build came out for our device.. there has been a problem with system apps updating..Everytime i update a system app..the size increases as if I'm installing a totally new app..any fix for this?
