Just because I'm not interested in playing divx files doesn't mean that I'm not interested in (a) the technical aspects of it, or (b) helping to steer YOU in the right direction.

As for whether or not it is possible on "liquid" or "milestone" -- that depends on the video decoder chip. Does it support H263? If yes, then it is possible. If no, then it is NOT possible.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
No, YOU are not listening.

It is *about* the technical aspects. This is the DEVELOPMENT forum. The non-technical discussions do not belong here.

And the only one arguing here is YOU.

For reasons very different than what you keep chattering about.

I'll take that to mean that you aren't interested in this any more, so go away.

Ok now it's more clear, i didn't catch the sense of your previous posts.
[Touch Pro CDMA] scottemick:
I had to get my touch pro replaced, it started getting flakey, so I called and Verizon sent me a refurb that was loaded with the updated ROM (2.01.671.1) 5/08/09. Radio version 1.12.20F. There are a few things I like about the update, one being the slide to answer.

I was trying to set up AGPS, and I noticed QPST will no longer connect to my phone since I received the new phone. I updated my QPST from build 301 to 323 and checked my HTC Diag driver appears to be the latest I can find - 5.0.0.1 from 2/8/2007. My HTC diagnostic interface shows up as COM4 and working properly in the device manager. In QPST I added COM4 and stopped and restarted the server, but all it shows is enabled COM4 and no phone.

Now I know at least one of you phone programmers out there have QPST working with the latest alltel rom. Can you tell me what I need to do?

Thanks a bunch

Scott
[Touch Pro CDMA] catfishk:
i had a similar issue with a few ROMs way back on my Titan. i found one ROM that worked, i think Altel, and flashed that to clear the SPC in QPST then flashed the ROM i wanted after

the ports would show up, but the connection never happened. hope it helps!

Hi,

I am new at this forum, but it seems very interesting. If I do anything wrong or say anything wrong please say so :) Here goes:

I have just bought a secondhand HTC s730 but this has a KPN simlock. Is there a way to unlock this? I have looked it up in google, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chris2dv8:
You should use the following (HTC sim Unlocker)

' file very carefully

have fun any enjoy your s730:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SilentGuardian:
Hi,

Thank you very much for you reaction. I have already read that article, but the problem is that I don't really know how to enter the bootloader. They say the button next to your sound, but it doesn't really work...

Maybe you know how to? I really don't know what the "bulb" button is.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SilentGuardian:
*Up*

How can I get into the bootloader?

Thanks.

Control Home Theatre (Itunes or WMP) from Touch Pro?

Is this possible, I know the iphone can integrate with itunes
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jfrm:
Unfortunatelly I don't know any good freware solution for this.

Anyway, you can try a program called "Signal". It is cheap and through wifi works quickest that a mouse in front of the screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bpapa9013:
There is a program in the MS marketplace (if you have it) that will turn the screen of your phone into a bluetooth track-pad for a connected computer. I believe it has a media controls panel in addition to the track-pad and a few other control functions. But unfortunately it isn't free, can't recall the name off the top of my head...

Thanks the best I could think of.

Hope that helps.

hi

i would like to keep the screen of my BA off when a sms is received and instead only flash the red-led. i know this worked on a previous installation so i guess there has to be some option for this but i can't find the right one.

i am using xplodes wm 6.1 rom (and fewidgets, if this might be a cause for the problem)

i already tried unchecking settings\sounds and notifications\new text message\[ ] display message on screen because the "flash light" checkbox is in that window too but unfortunatly it did not work

anyway if i get a sms the touchscreen turns on and the BA does quite everything it wants until i turn it off again. i don't want that. i would like to keep the screen off on these occasions until i turn it on manually.

my bluettoth is not working can anyone please help me fix this . i have tried to reflash and wipe many times and still no positive results. it just acts like its going to turn on and then does nuthing
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldb:
I second this. I see this is an old post with no replies, so maybe there is no solution. I mean, maybe a hardware problem.

I got my phone with 4.1. something and have tried a few versions up to 4.2.14.1, but no luck.

It says "Turning on", but nothing happens. I really need to use the handsfree in my car.

Computers does not recognize the phone using USB either. No "beep" on computer as it usually will do when connecting devices :( This leads me to think I have bought a faulty phone.

http://androinica.com/2009/11/16/sa...first-android-phone-to-support-divx-playback/

Both the Rogers LG Eve and the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Spica can play DivX.

What's holding back the G1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
an update from htc and or proper system dump
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you, or someone else, elaborate?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
DivX is a proprietary codec. It has to be licensed which costs money
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
That can't be the reason.

If that was the only reason, tons of people would have figured out how to to it illegally months ago haha. There must be some other limitation, that for some reason exists on the G1 but not these other phones.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
lol thats the reason why its not there legally. Besides, at this point, theres not enough demand/information to get it to work. once we get the dumps, we should be able to port it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
We already have h264, which is more efficient than divx or xvid. Why take a step back?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Actually, it *can* play the so-called divx files.

The reason why it doesn't play YOURS may be as follows;

1) It does NOT recognize the FourCC tag used by divx.

-- may help to change this to one matching H263.

2) The bitrate may be too high for the decoder chip.

-- too much data = choke

3) It may not have a demuxer for the CONTAINER.

-- AVI, MP4, MKV, etc. The file format and the actual data stream encodings are INDEPENDENT. The file is demuxed in SOFTWARE, the video stream is decoded in HARDWARE.

Note: divx is a SUBSET of plain vanilla MPEG4-ASP.

The decoder chip can decode H263, H264.

H264 > H263

H263 = divx (approximately)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taz2781:
Dvix and xvid = ****

Why you want **** on your G1... just use a converter and covert the videos to mp4... is a way better format, and you can save some space.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Yeah I'm just saying that the legal issue is definitely not the reason. If there was no barrier aside from legal issues, don't you think at least a single person on the entire planet would have at least figured out how to do it, especially given the G1 has been out over a year?

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Let me rephrase the topic then: it's not that I want to play divx/xvid.

I want to be able to play ANY video file my PC can play with a simple drag and drop (avi files, etc).

Because I find converting video files to be a ridiculously annoying process, and I hate it with a passion.

I want to be able to drag and and drop any video file to my G1 and play it within seconds.

My Windows Mobile 2003 Samsung SCH-i730 could do that. It's almost pathetic no Android phones (aside from the two in the OP) can.

I also have an 8 GB card that's mostly empty. I don't need to save space.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
That depends largely on who encoded it and how.

You aren't seriously suggesting that someone should subject a video to an *additional* lossy cycle of decompression and recompression in order to make it *better*, are you? Though doing this *can* (but doesn't have to) reduce the overall size, it will *definitely* reduce the visual quality of the video... like a photocopy of a photocopy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
I was also going to point out the absolute ridiculousness of converting a video file to mp4 and having the quality improve, but forgot to mention it. Thanks :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Well I'm afraid that that simply isn't going to happen. Though it is certainly possible to add in the software support for demuxing from the various other possible containers, the decoder chip itself most definitely has limitations.

Think about it like this;

The decoder chip in your GRAPHICS card, depending on the age of the card, will either be an MPEG2 decoder chip (i.e., around 1995 when the average CPU simply couldn't do that), or an MPEG4 AVC chip (i.e., Radeon HD, Nvidia 8000+), and even THESE decoder chips are limited in what they can decode. For example, throw a THEORA video at a Radeon HD and it will definitely NOT be able to play it. Throw an MPEG2 at a Radeon HD and it will not be able to play it. Not to mention the fact that a desktop video decoder chip will be able to handle a much larger resolutions at a much higher bitrate than a TELEPHONE (due to power constraints on the phone).

So basically, you can give up on the idea of being able to throw just anything at it.

What you can do, however, is use a SCRIPT to BULK-encode your videos. Look at mencoder (part of mplayer) and ffmpeg for this. Their use is a little complex, but you only need to do it once when you set up the script, then it is just an easy convert for everything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
So you're saying the G1 doesn't have the necessary graphics decoder chip (and obviously never will), that the LG Eve / Spica do? Could have said that, rather than "legal issues" (lol :D)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atolar:
Why hasn't anybody ported VLC over to android then? That media player supports all sorts of codecs
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I never said "legal issues" -- that was somebody else.

And no, we do NOT know what kind of decoder chip those other two devices have.. they MAY be exactly the same since, as I said, OUR decoder chip *IS* capable of running bone-stock divx.

Just because those other two devices say they can play divx doesn't mean that they can play the ones you find on the net and download. You still have to worry about the overall resolution, bitrate, and container.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Few things to think about;

1) The majority of the codecs supported by VLC are supported in SOFTWARE DECODERS. We simply don't have enough CPU power to decode video in real-time. We *MUST* use the decoder chip.

2) The rest of the codecs supported by VLC are supported via various HARDWARE DECODERS (i.e. Nvidia vdpau extensions for MPEG4), and just using VLC doesn't open up any more encodings since we are still limited by the hardware decoder that we already have.

3) VLC uses HARDWARE simple post processing via XVideo (i.e. scaling).

As an example:

To playback a common net-rip BD movie, say 10-ish GB 1920x1080 will take EVERYTHING available from BOTH CORES of an AMD X2-3800 (I use that example since that's what I use on my TV) to perform in software. The video resolution is off by a factor of 13.5x, but that CPU is way more than 13.5x what's in these phones, especially when it comes to multimedia content, floating point arithmetic, etc. There is literally no way to do video decoding in software unless you switch to a less-advanced format -- maybe it'll be able to handle mpeg2 for example.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
booo urns, I just want to play my tv show downloads without having to convert.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Has anyone with Remote Spy or something similar, together with some understanding of how Windows programs communicate (and obviously with an HD2) tried to see what happens in the world of window notifications when you tap the screen in two places simultaneously? And whether stuff communicated to Opera or Album is any different from other apps?

We have to figure out this pinch to zoom thingie sooner or later, don't we? That could be some first step in this direction I guess.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
Hey guys I'm following the progress of the Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila and you're doing a really good job but still there are parts of windows that look dated.

Why do we need another huge area of 3 buttons when you can just put them in Manila...

To be honest I liked the old manila icons more but that's just my opinion.

So it would be nice if you make your ROMs something like I made (if it's possible)

I may not be the 1st one who thought of this but still..

tell me what you think

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jason1978:
The bottom bar is nothing to do with Manilla/Sense, this is Windows Mobile itself.

The HTC Manilla / Sense app could be written so that it hides the Windows specific bar at the bottom (in a similar way that the likes of SPB Mobile Shell etc do it) but that as far as I know would be the job of HTC to do, it it not customisable in that way by the cooks (correct me if I am wrong here).

Additional tabs I suppose could be added, but the 3 buttons would remain at the bottom, so it is pointless...

Hope that helps

Jason
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
I know the bottom part has nothing to do with Manila/Sense...

So lets do it like SPB Mobile Shell... It just doesn't look good and it's not practical...PointUI has a full screen option maybe Manila should be full screen.. like I've shown in the preview I made.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ASK768:
AFAIK, no one on these forums makes the interfaces. they are brought over from other devices and are made by htc.

as for the design, i prefer to use the call pickup button to bring up the dialer, but thats just me.

good idea though
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
Yeah I also prefer the call pickup button but in winmo you have the Telephone button down there too... talk about pointless lol anyway should I write HTC an email or something?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
This could be done by users on this forum! Max' Manila Mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551489) is capable of displaying Manila full-screen - so it should be possible to hide the bottom bar. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
That's great I also wrote an email to HTC they told me that unfortunately HTC Touch HD is a windows mobile device...and that I should write about my idea on the developers site.Well it seems my idea is possible let us ask the developers is this not a good idea? Does it not look good?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
So.. I sent HTC an email in that email they told me to contact Microsoft (Microsoft developer forum) so I did there they told me that Manila is HTC product so I should contact HTC.This is the only place we can get this done and done right!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jason1978:
The Manilla / Sense application is written by HTC and as standard out of the box, it sits inside of the top and bottom bars, which are part of the operating system from Microsoft.

There may be extensions that other developers may of written to hack the Manilla into thinking the boundary of its UI can take the full screen in a similar way that SPB Mobile Shell and Point UI do it out of the box, but the buttons would still remain behind the application. Going into the standard WinMo apps and start menu etc would bring the bar back to the front.

Jason
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
I'm not talking about moding Manila only.. lets edit Winmo itself.The thread is called future ROMs idea...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ASK768:
editing winmo is easier said than done. i know its not helpful, but i wouldnt get your hopes up.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
Well I'm just suggesting a new and improved wimno look..I'm sure that the users will like it much more...but anyway it's up to the developers..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbjack:
I wish windows phone will just use windows os. But it's just that MS cannot make interface like Apple or even google. HTC and Motorola add a layer of skin to google phone turns me off. If this this the trend for 2010 I might switch to iPhone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] welki1979:
HTC already did a while ago, with the 'Shift' (see here:http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=596)

...and trust me...I own an iPhone 3G and my Blackstone and I choose the Blackstone every time, iPhone UI is very dated, boring and limited in it's customisation (even a jailbroken device gets boring to look at).

My iPhone has been sat in a drawer for ages and I only ever use it for the odd game with friends.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eWeq:
iPhone looks dated?? Have you seen the original Blackstone ROM have you seen the scroll bar and... man.. it looks like SH*T (or like Windows 98..) very very dated.And if the ROM development is gonna be like that I might switch to iPhone too or something even better Nokia n900 ;) Only if I could switch this "Blackstone" for Nokia n900...lol

I'm very disappointed with the phone i bought...

So anyway if the developers could make my idea reality that would solve 1 of winmo's problems...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jason1978:
The problem is that Microsoft have not kept up pace with the other OSes and are playing catch up. The current Windows mobile versions 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5 are designed for touch screen phones, and work best with a stylus and are not so finger friendly. HTC have placed the Manilla/Sense UI over the top to hide the ugliness of the dated OS.

The next major release Windows Mobile 7 I would hope would be a complete overhaul of the UI at the OS level, supassing the iPhone UI and the like. It should keep the ability to customise to hell due to the amount of developers who write software for Windows Mobile and the use of the .NET Compact Framework and free developer tools for .NET from Microsoft.

Some of the cooked ROMs that have WInMo 6.5.1 show signs of being more touch friendly, but I think the major release of WinMo 7 will be the significant change. This as far as I am aware will be early next year for release to manufacturing, so maybe a further 6 months before you see devices with it. Who knows though, the amount of market share the Microsoft must be losing in this area, you would think they miight try and put more effort into a quick release... (which is not always a good idea!!)

Jason
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MaXyM:
I'm sure you mislead operating system and User Interface (as most people does). Operating system should be the base allowing other developers to build 3rd party stuff over it.

I think, that a way chosen by MS in case of modern WM is correct. Otherwise we would have crap soft buuld in into OS and again replaced by 3rd party stuff (like Paint in "big" Windows)

and btw, will this mess with google maps?

and right now i have only a black notification bar mod, do i need to flash the original cm, then this, or can i just flash this?

andddd this wont mess with the eclair/blur animation right?

thanks!
