[G1 Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
Just tried opening the update.zip file and verified that all the apks are there. Which makes me wonder what exactly is up. Im thinking it could be an apps2sd issue, like what was said above. I didnt have this problem with older hero roms that i can remember. TBH I could try pushing apps with adb but that wouldn't bring back my other 3rd party apps floating in ext2 limbo. So I'm out of ideas ;(
[G1 Android Development] david1171:
try going to the recovery console and entering upgrade_fs and that will change your ext2 to ext3 and see if wiping and flashing change anything. also if you have root explorer you can check your /system/sd folder to see if all of your third party apps are there
[G1 Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
Just tried upgrade_fs and it gave me a "unable to allocate block" I noticed there is little if any room left on the ext2 partition. Would that cause all of this? If not would it be worth a shot to resize the partition and give it more space from my fat32 then try to upgrade wipe reload again?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
If you're out of ideas, then I would attempt to resize first (but backup your fat32 first) and then see if that solves it, if not, then I would format, wipe, and update...

but are you sure those 3rd party apps are not there? Try using Root Explorer to determine if the 3rd Party Apps are there, if they are, just pull them to your sdcard and try installing them again with ASTRO or something like that.
[General Questions and Answers] style1:
Is there a possible way to have a program boot on start up to curb loading times? Kinoma play is an amazing program, I love its functionality, ease of use, looks, and consolidation...hate the load time. Is it possible to make Kinoma boot when the phone boots to curb that time everytime the phone is reset? Honestly it would be a good idea to do with programs like opera as well.
[General Questions and Answers] syqe:
Sure, add a shortcut of the .exe to Windwows\StartUp
[General Questions and Answers] vijay555:
You'll want to use a good file explorer like GSFinder, navigate to opera.exe or whatever, make a shortcut to it, and drop the shortcut in

\windows\startup

as syqe said.

Be aware that sometimes shortcuts to apps on the SD card don't always start up, due to the delays in accessing the SD on startup. However, try it and see.

If it doesn't start up, then add to registry boot.
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Boot the program after start up or include the boot time in start up, ( difference ? ). Now you have a program that is constantly running in the background ussing up program memory amd battery life. Is it worth the extra few seconds of bootup time ?
[General Questions and Answers] style1:
yes...i don't know if you have the newest version of kinoma play...its far and away the most amazing application for Winmo, it consolidates almost everything I do online and offline into one finger friendly app...but when you load it, its literally a 2-3 minute wait on my Touch HD. I Run a Lite Rom that doesn't have Touch Flo or anything bloated on And battery life...lol we have HTC devices here, if that was really an issue I would have went with a battery friendly phone. Thanks guys for all the prompt responses.
[General Questions and Answers] crissg:
Check your scanning settings?

I'm running a TPC rom on my Tilt, and Kinoma's start time is a couple of seconds, not minutes.

The only reason I can think of for such a long start time is if you are letting it scan your entire device each time it starts. That was one of the biggest drawbacks to the program it its earlier releases. You can now turn the automatic scanning on or off, and select the directories you want scanned.

I hope this helps

Yes this information is quite useful that we can choose which drives or directories to scan and thus save our valuable time.

hi hi ... all the pros... i wanna to ask that ...

how to make the herm internal memory bigger ??? instead of 49.35mb to 52 mb??? and have more on program memory
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Sell Hermes, upgrade to tilt.... Not likely to be able to make internal memory bigger, limitations of the device. Don't like it, upgrade...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
You can lower the pagepool, for example... hermes works really well with 4MB - giving you 51MB of total RAM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] micronyaol:
Actually you can set pagepool to zero, device is still pretty responsive if you do not have a lot of bloatware or heavy apps like wisbar or spb mobileshell.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
true - but it causes bigger ram usage later... remember that rotating pages of ram is possible only in pagepool!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] micronyaol:
You mean if I have program X and program Y and they both need a dll Z, it would be loaded twice and thus occupy twice more memory?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
no, it's not like that - fortunately :) the shared libraries are loaded always only once.

BUT - what I'm saying is this: if some portion of code, already loaded into memory, is not used for some time, it could be temprarily unloaded, making a space for some other library, which wants to be loaded (by some run application). This operation IS possible - but only in pagepool, it's not possible in normal RAM - resulting more data is loaded at once - unnecesary.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chicochico:
I saw a tool to change the pagepool in .nbh and there were examples o 4mpp, 8, ... my question is should be legal to use any number for example 2mb or 512kb for example? thanx

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
well - while it CAN be any value - the most reasonable ones are between 4MB and 6MB.

that's true - with this kernel this tool doesn't work - which is really strange, as pp's signature (NKKD8) can be easily found... one have to use for example osnbtool in order to change pp.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chicochico:
THanks you both.

Now whats the impact in RAM (not storage) and speed of using LZX instead of standard compresion?... i have heard that at leats is slower and most of the newly cooked roms for hermes use it. thanx in advance

edit: So the pagepool seems to be like a virtual memory allocation area in the storage(rom) right?...then how this is related to the numbers i see in the virtual memory gauge in schaps task manager 0.7....ive always wanted to know that !!!??

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
the differences are mostly theoretical and can be seen in synthetic tests. On the daily usage you can't see it - it's a really small impact :) You see - I was using LZX once even on HTC Wizard, which is a significantly slower machine (OMAP850@200MHz).

LZX is really widely used on all other embedded systems :)

yep, it's a very similar process :) And for the second option: I dunno, I'm using FdcSoft TaskManager.

Anyone know what is the best setting for smooth video playback when viewing in Touch Pro 2?

I have download the Transformers 2 Trailer in FLV format and playback on my Touch Pro 2 but it seems to be laggy.

Anyone can advise me whether it is the video format problem or the phone memory problem as I have installed many applications.

Can only get on youtube through my Rhodium at work but isn't that video HD?

It's got a pretty fast processor for a phone but it's still only 533MHz, it can't playback HD content!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mnico:
I've seen a couple of DivX movies (700MB each) on my TP2 and I have no lag issues...

In fact, I did had that, but back then I was using the player supplied with DivX codecs for Windows Mobile. Once I started using Core Player, the "lag" was gone.

I'll try that YouTube HD video in FLV format and get back to you.

BTW, what player are you using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bxsteez:
Yea i have no issues at all with any video format with coreplayer with the exception of mkvs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chongbh:
I am also using Core Player for playing back the above FLV format file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mnico:
Sorry for the delay guys, but during my video speed testing :p, I found that although Core Player is supposed to play MP4 files (so they say), on my TP2 Core Player says "Player: Video codec (AVC aka H.264) not supported by the player!".:eek: So it seems that I have no H.264 codecs installed, which is strange because the H.264 codec is quite common on DivX. Well, I guess the movies I've been playing were not H.264 encoded. :rolleyes:

This happened because I downloaded (without converting) both Transformers 2 trailers (LowRes and HD) from that link. The LowRes version came in FLV format (4MB), and the HD is a 33MB MP4 file. The FLV plays flawlessly without hiccups or delays.

I'm still searching for H.264 codecs for Windows Mobile, and will report back to this topic after installing and testing the video. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Teknishun:
The HTC player will playback mp4's encoded with H.264, so long as they're Standard Definition with stereo audio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chongbh:
I have download the same file again by copying the Videoplayback file in FLV Format from Internet Explorer Temporary Files Folder, file size is 12.2MB instead of 4MB.

How you can get 4MB and how you download the Low Res file? The playback is a bit jerky and not so smooth but after comparing the original one in YouTube, it is also a bit jerky and not smooth so there is nothing wrong with the Touch Pro 2 Playback as the problem lies on the source itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thedudelasse:
What you wanna do is get Coreplayer.

Encode your videos into Divx with vertical res. of 720 or under and keep the bitrate under 1500kb/s.

Great image quality with approx 112% playback speed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chongbh:
I have used Coreplayer for playback.

Tried encoding "The Black Knight" Movie in the below format :

1) Width x Height (704 x 296)

2) Bit Rate (64kbs)

3) Audio Format (Lame MP3)

4) Frame Rate (23 frames/second)

5) Data Rate (1031 kbs)

6) video Sample Size (24 bit)

7) Video Compression (XVID)

There is some portion of the playback jerky and not smooth, any problem with the above settings?

You could try downloading that little encoding program.

It encodes your files into the perfect format for HTC Album. The user interface of the program is very easy and it encodes your files so that they play with full resolution and a good bitrate. Hope I could have been of help. All credit goes to it's creator.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mnico:
I used a Firefox addon that "strips" the contents out of the pages (videos, sounds, SWF, ...). It can also be used to convert to other video formats while downloading, but I didn't use this feature as I wanted to test with the real deal.

I double-checked just now, and the smaller file (LowRes) is 4.76MB and it's fully functional and it plays 'till the end. The HD is 33,9MB. Perhaps there's a different file version when you stream directly from the internet... it doesn't make much sense, but I'm just guessing.

I didn't had time to continue searching for the right codecs yet. But I'll give it a go tomorrow. I'm sure I was not the 1st to experience this "issue" and the codecs "should" exist somewhere... so I hope. :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chongbh:
Thanks for your recommendation and I recode the video again, it is much smoother playing over the WMP.

Will use this program to encode future DVD or Video for playback in my Touch Pro 2.

Are there shortcuts to activate/deactivate silent mode and vibrate mode or is the menu or volume button the only way? Sometimes I want to increase the volume and switch on vibrate, which doesn't seem possible unless you go into the menu. Also is there a way to set it to one ring only, or beep mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ster86:
You can install any of the "switch mode" widget that you can find in Market, but the fastest way to change suond profile is push the volume down button for more than 2 seconds, phone will put in silent mode, then push once volume up to set it to vibrate. Push volume up for more than 2 seconds to restore full ring ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KK43:
Yep, seems to be the fastest way to change the volume and set silent, a bit annoying that it beeps along the way but no big deal.

But, if you do that to set it on vibrate, it doesn't seem to work for text messages... those stay silent because they have a separate setting to vibrate. WHY?!?!!!

Always seemed like an easy thing on symbian & windows mobile, you hold one button or a couple of clicks later everything is set to vibrate, especially useful if outdoors and can't hear messages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] droidrage:
I just hold down the END key and select "Silent Mode". Is that not an option on your phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hotas:
Check out egg 'n stones' "Profiles" application in the market. You can define and set profiles from the application plus you can create shortcuts to any profile. For every profile you can set the volume of the different types of sounds (alarms, notifications, media, speech, etc.) It's my favourite profile manager.

Or just install these widgets from Jerpelea's rom page. You can find the widgets link on the palm pre theme rom, 2nd post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538633

There is a really nice 1 button widget that sits on your home screen and you can press it and it cycles between silet, vibrate and ring.

Just allow the phone to accept 'unkown sources' in the application menu. Then access the widgets from the sd card (save them there) and then you can install them.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orkunarikan:
my phone started acting weird lately. I can switch to silent or vibrating mode with the volume button when I first turn on the phone, but after I make one phonecall it stops that function and starts working as a up-down button that can navigate within the menu items and such.

I have checked all of the settings options that might have an affect on this, but couldn't find anything yet.

Any suggestions as for how I can fix this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fagmango:
Vibrate all??

My volume buttons controlled all the notifications and sounds on my previous Android phones. That is NOT the case on the Samsung Vibrant. It will only control the volume for the incoming call ringer. I would have to go to settings for every notification volume to lower them and set them to vibrate. The only option I've found is t set the volume all the way down to silent on the side of the phone which will silence everything. The problem is, there is ZERO notification whatsoever. No led, no sound, no vibrate.

Isn't there a way to have the volume control all the sounds and vibration mode on the phone as a global setting?

Well i had the red light on my phone and it wouldnt start, i tried the fix where yuo fiddle with the battery and stuff like that which got it working, but then it happened again, so once again i tried fiddling with the battery, which got the phone working, however now it is working fine, but i only have a month of warranty left. I phoned htc first thing today and told them that i had the rlight problem and they said theyll collect it and repair or replace, however i said i tried the fixes on the forums and that it works. My point it that if i get the red light again when im out of warranty they wont fix it, so i thought id get it fixed while i still have warranty, but they said they wont fix it if its working fine. If im not making sense so far, im basically asking what can i do to get the red light to come on again so they will repair/replace it for good without physically damaging the phone!?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brandall:
I'd get it fixed whilst you're still in warranty. Your phone is 'broken' - messing with it to get it to work is not a working phone!

Just tell them it happens every couple of days and they should take it back without issue - they did with mine.

Good luck.
