there is also "pocketdivxencoder" , a must have for us because it has a number of templates to give the best results on any of our ppc/smartphones, and you can select your final screen size, crop, tweak color/contrast/luminosity, chose quality for sound and see an estimation of the file size you will get at the end.

very easy to use and good results, (even if manual use of virtualdub gave me better results sometimes in terms of quality).

you can dl it here : http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/index.php?lang=EN

Thanks

but i can convert anyother format to avi and works fine . exept for rm and ram rmvb wen converted either the sound is ahead of the picture or the picture is ahead of the sound. when use the realplayer to play rm on my phone it plays alrite everything, is in sync but the problem is realplayer.exe is 4 QVGA ppc and i have QQVGA display so it shows quater of the screen. When use Mplayer itz fullscreen but the video is way ahead of the sound maybe it because of the Mplayer.exe 7mb is big it does n0t change even when i make cpu clock at 240mhz.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Bosgarage57:
Hi guys, thinking of picking up a V20. Been looking at Chinese phones but keep coming back to the V20. My only concern with it is the carrier check to toggle mobile hotspot. Seems I would need to root to bypass that, and the last phone I rooted was a Note 2 back in the day. I would be using it on cricket, so an AT&T (910) or unlocked (996) variant would be my choice I believe. Anyone give any suggestions or work around besides rooting to get the mobile hotspot to work?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
I suggest if you want to root I'd go with the 996, because unless the security patch is 12/16 or earlier you won't be able to root the 910, no kdz available to roll back.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=4201835]cnjax[/MENTION] While it is true that no KDZ is available for the H910, the H915 KDZ works just fine. The H910 is rootable on the latest (v10t) firmware: link.

Thanks guys, I've found a local person selling a US996 for $200. Gonna go check it out and make sure it looks good. If I get it i'll look into rooting it. So the 996 doesn't matter what security patch it is on correct?

My Galaxy S6 will only boot to TWRP BUT it is locked up and unresponsive in TWRP. However, Windows still sees the internal drive on the phone.

I can't believe there not a way to do this.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You won't be able to pull anything that will help. It's all encrypted by default. If you don't have an encrypted device then you will have to pull the contacts db file.

They should be backed up to Google.
[General Questions and Answers] Hi7m3up:
Not sure if you have only saved your contacts locally on your handset however when you put in a new contact you have the option to save it to Google contact at your email address i believe new contacts are saved to your Google account as default so you should check if this is the case ,

You would have had to changed the setting to local save only for them not to be saved online / hope this help's
[General Questions and Answers] Tiribulus:
Thanks guys. Does that mean that they should show up in gmail?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Go to Google. Com and under contacts. Your contacts should all be there as long as you kept syncing on.

Have you tried putting your sim to another phone to see if any contacts are saved on it ?

I know your sim only hold's around 100 contacts but it would be a little better than 17

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iamandrechavez:
I've had my S7 rooted and installed an S8 ported Rom and i wanted to try out the new oreo roms, but whenever I try to install them, it says that it isnt compatible, which lead me to think its because of my Ported S8 rom.... is there any truth to this? Or am i just doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Most ROM's only support installing from a previous version of their ROM, or from stock - to prevent bugs and firmware conflicts.. So yes your S8 port ROM is probably the cause.

Flash stock via Odin, then try Lineage again and you should be set.

Update your recovery

Hello,

I had the same problem. My TWRP was to old. I had a Version 3.1.x. An update to 3.2.x helped me out.

By the way, I'm on Resurrection Remise 6.0 and I love it. The only real problem ist the GPS.

Navigation is not working as expected. But that seems to be the case with all Oreo Roms.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hEaTLoE:
On a fresh wipe/install, what is the usable internal storage on the 64gb device (Verizon version or unlocked)?

Are there any apps when installed that cannot be moved to the SD?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hEaTLoE:
Bump! Can anyone help please?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
Sorry, booted right into Smart Switch so no idea how much storage it has in a newborn state. Is a few gigs really your deciding factor on which version to buy? I would think it would boil down more to wanting wifi calling and accept Verizon bloat or no wifi calling and no Verizon apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hEaTLoE:
Thanks for the response. Not the difference between the versions, but seeing if I should explore another device instead of the S9 that has more storage (since I can't use an international device with Verizon). I was just curious if I'm going to have 5gb or 30gb free internally on the 64gb device. I know the SD card will allow photos and music to be saved there, but don't know what apps can't be moved.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
Definitely more than 5 GB free either way. After all my apps are installed on the unlocked one, I have 40 GB free. Verizon bloat can't possibly add more than 10 GB, so you're definitely in the 30+ GB free side of things even on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hEaTLoE:
That's perfect, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LgG2-Ttrain:
I'm using the unlocked version on Verizon and I had around 45gb free I believe before I added all my junk. With my s8 plus i got it from Verizon and I'm pretty sure i could uninstall most of the bloat with it. Hope that helps some.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Deathman20:
Have roughly 35GB free after a massive amount of installs. If it's stating it correct should have 52GB on a clean install not including the default apps and updates installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hEaTLoE:
Great, thanks all. S9+ it is :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dlipetz:
I have the Verizon S9+ and was pleasantly surprised how little bloat there was. Most of the pre-installed Verizon apps can be uninstalled. Same with Samsung apps (except apps like Messages, Mail, Calendar, etc.). Off the top of my head, the only Verizon app I couldn't uninstall is Caller ID which I simply had to disable. My fully loaded up phone still has 40GB+ internal memory available. And while the Verizon S9+ does not support adoptable storage, I can safely use the SD card for photo storage as Google Photos (my preferred solution) is able to manage photos on the SD card. On my S7 Edge, Photos was unable to gain permission to delete photos from the SD card. I really wanted the 128GB version of the phone but it is not available in the US from any carrier - but I can totally get by with the 64GB version and a 128GB SD card for photos, videos, movies, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] nasapunk88:
Samsung Unlocked 64GB phone: ~50GB Free.

Sadly I just started installing my apps but I remember looking at storage space before when I first put in an SD Card and without anything really installed. I believe it said I was using 15GB of system data. So that would be around 50GB of free space on a fresh phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Yuvs12:
Hey guys!

So I just got my pixel (first gen) a few days ago and I've been trying to setup hands free voice recognition, but there seems to be a problem :<

After I press "Ok Google" Detection my phone asks me to repeat the phrase "Ok Google" a bunch of times so the assistant can learn to recognize my voice, but that is where I'm stuck...

It doesn't matter how many times I say Ok Google it just wont recognize it... it just stays on the first step and the little blue circle keeps turning...

The really wired thing about it that if I say Ok Google on my home screen everything works! The assistant comes up right away...

I tired talking to google support and they didn't know what the issue was, so now I'm stuck, and I'm clueless what else I could do...

Anyone ever encountered something like this?? I'll appreciate any help I can get. I'm also attaching a few screenshots that seems to be of interest to the google support team, might provide you guys with more information.

Thanks a lot!

[ORIGINAL POST] - solution further down - (TLDR do not reboot into system after flashing recovery)

Hi,

I'm trying to install TWRP but when i've flashed PDA via ODIN and reboot into recovery, this is what i get. [see images] https://imgur.com/a/zfdvs

TWRP file from TWRP website: 'twrp-3.2.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar' for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) (dream2lte)

As this did not work i tried to flash new BL and CP and then i retried to install TWRP, no luck.

Can you please help me! Thanks!

I also tried flashing TWRP (another version just to be safe) via heimdall, but that didnt work either. The enitire prosess is fine, but when i reboot into recovery i still get to the same page. [see images above]

[SOLUTION]

*Do not* boot into system after flashing recovery (TWRP), instead, make sure to boot directly into recovery.

Apparently Samsung Reinstalls recovery when you boot into system after flashing TWRP (or any other recovery for that matter). I do not know if it's like this for all Samsung devices or only the S8, but that's the way it is.

Hello. I have a tablet with RK 3188 quad core A9/1.6Ghz, 10.1", hdmi and 1280x800px with android 4.2.2 with a directory /data of 1Gb but the total internal memory is 16Gb and I need to expand it, but I couldn't use it it as root with any of the programs I tried, only one Chinese program could partially root it.

I can enter by adb only with sideload and load an image of the original fimware.

Is it complicated? Thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
Ok... I've been playing with this for a week or so to no avail.

I wanted to Disable & delete the standard KB from the device & replace it with my copy of FingerTouch or VGAKey & after failing it's now become a ROM cooking issue.

I started out trying just to delete the default KB from the registry. I've found the association {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} for the module msim.dll. But whenever I delete this, like I do with Block Recognizer, or if I install one of my other KB & try to change this entry to be associated with FT or VGA KB, my device freezes at the Animated Boot screen & requires a hard reset.

Being unable to disable or delete the key without devastating results, I decided to try & cook out the default KB & replace it with one of my alternatives. So far everytime I still get stuck at the boot screen.

I know (I think I do) all of the default KB files & associations. In windows you have msim.dll (icon & improc I believe) & msim.96.dll.

In the registry I've found HKCR\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}, which handles the display & selection in the KB input selection pop-up. I've also found the HKCU\Control Panel\Sip\Default Im reference to {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}.

Everytime I attempt to change these value to another KB or delete them in the registry of any ROM installed I get a fatal error that won't allow for the OS to fully boot.

When I try to alter this info in a rom I'm cooking, I also get this fatal error for which the only way to recover from is a hard reset & flash to a ROM that has the default KB still intact.

Does anybody know what I'm missing???? I don't see anything in startup that is calling for the Default KB, so I can't seem to understand what's causing the freeze up.. Any of you pro's out there know what I'm missing or why I can't get the OS to boot without the default KB?

Can you delete or replace the default KB completely in any device ROM from the registry? Can you remove the default KB from a cooked ROM? If so what am I missing? After a week of trying I need help!!!

Thanks for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
NOBODY??? Not one of you have ever tried replacing the horrible MSIM KB with something more useful????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I never really tried to uninstall the default one. I've only replaced it with a colorized one. I know you can install another one and have it set as default SIP, but I haven't tried since I haven't really liked any SIP that's been perfected enough to cook in...

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
Some thing here I never have found something better to cook in. I use the grey colored KB since it looks the best with the HTC .tsk but thats just a matter of cooking in the right .msm file. Sorry I cant be more of a help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
I don't know if any of you have ever noticed this, but even if you use another KB & assign it as default, the standard default KB still retains the Default IM status. The only way a change to KB default status can be made is to inject a start up entry that redirects.

If you set another KB as default, all the tools, sk, etc... Still all show the STD KB as also being default & so it cannot even be disabled. Weird.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M@ster:
Yep, and "sipchange is the cure" :)

Didn't try with WM 6.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
SIP change changes what pops up as the default, but does NOTHING to change the actual system setting as msim as default. It allows for overide, I know, I use it, but you still can't remove or disable the msim KB. The point is to cook in something useful & remove unnecesary images & resources, not to add a tool to do something that several other proggies I already use can do. i.e. SK Tools also allows you to default other KB's.
