hook it up :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Thann:
For some reason I just can't upload to XDA today, it just keeps failing. The file is here so be sure and tell me if you have any problems.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ruskiyab:
Thats, I haven't really gotten around to reading about signing the update.zip files yet
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Guinea pig approved, looks/functions great.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mactruc:
Did nandroid backup just to be sure, but everything works fine. Looks very good too!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I love the lockscreen. Would you mind if I include this in my Gutted Hero rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Ahhh you beat me to it. I was gonna do the same. I figured out how to port the themes and sign them. :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ratcom:
Great work ruskiyab good to see other people joining in with customizing our Hero's!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ruskiyab:
Ofcourse! I stole your animations and Rosie, it's only fair :)

New transparent lockscreen added!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
How would one edit, or create there own lockscreen?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
Is the clear lockscreen the same as the one ratcom posted?

If not, can you provide a screenshot? thanks!

I'd like to know how to create my own aswell and sign the update too!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ruskiyab:
The screen shot is in the OP
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
ahh, thanks.

the site that is hosting the pic must be blocked at work then, because I don't see any pics in the 1st post.

I'll look tonight before trying to flash it in

EDIT: bvm, I switched to our wireless test network (glad I'm in IT) and I was able to see the pics. It looks like the same one ratcom used/posted.

Now I just need to lookup how to make my own, lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
This looks great. Thanks for sharing!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
Any chance we can get an update.zip file made to revert the lock screen back to the original one? I did make a nandroid backup, but I'd rather not have to use it just for the lock screen. Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DiNoise:
if anybody is interested,

it works on a rooted Hero without a custom ROM

(thanks for the file)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mkhopper:
Thanks for this nice tweak. :) I was working on doing this myself, but got beat to it. It works and looks great!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scirio:
+1 vote for this

I do plan on keeping the transparent lock screen on as long as possible though.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willpower102:
So the cdma hero is a slug. Don't try and tell me otherwise unless you've used something as fast as an iphone 3gs, blackberry, etc. And if you're saying it's great but comparing it to something other than 1.5 htc sense ui then that can't help either.

How much improvement does a clean rom on a rooted phone give? (basically just nixing sense ui alltogether)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskiyab:
Vanilla android should help speed things up significangtly, however I'd try some other things before doing that. I just recently installed a compressed Rosie, removed all the applications and widgets that I don't use and disabled a bunch of start up items, now the whole thing is quicker it seems.

Hi guys.. which HD 2.5 Rom is the closest to Leo stock rom? Just want to know your opinion guys.. thanks..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ualdriver:
So is there such a thing as "perfect" handbrake settings for TP2?

I've been playing with it a couple of hours, and these are the settings I'm down to using:

Output Settings, Format: MP4 file

Picture Settings tab: 640 x 400 (what are you guys using?)

Video Tab: Video Codec MPEG-4 (FFmpeg), framerate 29.97, 2 pass encoding, average bitrate (kbps) 600

Audio&Subtitles tab: Automatic Source, AAC Audio Codec, Mixdown Dolby Pro Logic II, samplerate Khz Auto, Bitrate (kps) 160

I haven't really touched anything else, but with these settings I seem to be getting the slightest lag where sometimes I can perceive the frame rate, for lack of a better term. It's as if the smoothness is about 90% - 95% there, but not quite. Anything I can do about that? I tried making the width x height numbers smaller, but it didn't seem to work.

What are you guys using for handbrake settings? Are you touching any other settings than the ones I mention above?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
I've tried all sorts of setting with HandBrake (including yours, just now) and there always appears to be a bit of a stutter. I've had much more luck using SUPER encoder (encoding to AVI).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Avatar28:
I just reencoded a divx file to MP4 using x.264 compression and it plays smooth as silk using the HTC album application. That was on the latest 6.5.1 (504) Valkyrie (sp?) ROM as of a couple of days ago. I am probably going to flash to the new 28002 Energy ROM tonight so we'll see if it still works there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ualdriver:
What were you other settings on handbrake? I guess you selected h.264(x264) under the video tab. What did you use for avg. bitrate on the video tab and what did you use for width/height or anything else under the "picture settings" tab?

I'm not familiar with the ROM stuff you're referring to.

Thanks for the info. I'm still playing with these handbrake settings!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Avatar28:
Sorry, the site freaked out and I couldn't finish my post. Anyways, I actually used the free version of Any Video Converter and not handbrake (I got them both about the same time. That theoretically shouldn't make that much of a difference though when using the same settings. It just seems a bit easier to me to use.

I went with the original size. It might not make a difference but I have this nice, high-res screen, might as well take advantage of it, right? Original size in this case was 592x320. Video bitrate was set at 768k and the audio was 128k AAC. Windows shows them slightly lower in the file properties for whatever reason, though, 749k and 125k respectively.

My final file size was around 554 MB compared to right around 1000 MB for the original xvid. This was for an hour and a half movie.

I think you could approximate the settings by using the xbox 360 profile and changing the target bitrate for video and audio to something closer to the values I used.

Edit: This is the link to the ROM I was using. You will note that it appears to have updated D3D drivers so that might make a difference as I have heard of people having stuttering issues with WM 6.5 using the HTC album player in Manila. I point that out because the HTC player is apparently one of the only ones capable of taking advantage of the GPU accleration in the phone to handle the video decoding. Other players are more likely to stutter due to doing CPU decoding.

Presets

I haven't used Handbrake in about a month. I used 0.93 for Windows. When I converted something for my phones, I would use the Iphone/Ipod Touch preset. It's converts to a h.264 MP4 file. I would dial back the resolution for my Tilt. With my Tilt2 I raise the preset resolution to 800 instead of 640. I play it with the latest Coreplayer or TCPMP GF5500 Edition. The videos are amazing. I have been trying the GUI posted earlier because it's much faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ualdriver:
Thanks!

Ok thanks. I'll have to try the x264 setting. I thought I tried that once with handbrake when I was playing with a 10 minute DVD trailer, but for some reason my TP2 wouldn't play it. It might have been just a bad file conversion that particular time, but I assumed at the time it was just an unusable conversion type. I have been using the MPEG4 (FFmpeg) file and that seemed to work every time. I haven't a clue what the difference is.

I think I'm still using WM 6.1. I'm relatively new to this stuff and I'm not too sure about what a ROM is. I know it means "read only memory," but how it applies to my phone or how I can modify it and what the consequences are of changing it- I don't understand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BASSMANBOB:
Ive used Super to convert a DVD rip of Iron Man to my TP2 @ 720x 480 resolution @ 1200kbps in MP4 h246 and it looks sexy! you have to make sure all other apps are closed and surprisingly enough, Windows Media Player handles this file with ease(Windows media player actually works now!It only took 10 years!lol) and framerate is movie speed @29.970. Even more surprising is the fact that this is playing on a virgin device( running the stock ATT ROM till tomorrow....) and the current ROM is incredibly bloated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] NH3MAN:
"Avidemux" is an awesome program to easily convert your movies. I use "Handbrake" to RIP but I find "Avidemux" much better for movie/video conversions. it has presets but will also let you setup formats, crops, etc. anyway you want. It has enormous capability and still easy to use. I use it to convert to 640 x (?) (xvid) mp4 @ 700 kbps with 128 kbps AAC audio for use with the Album player and it is sharp with no stuttering. I am going to use it to convert to x264 mp4 @ 1000 kbps and see how WMP handles it as a test but I generally despise WMP.

Handbrake

I've never posted here before but after trying Core Player and its stuttering after I installed Mighty Rom i found that using the standard IPod Touch and Iphone settings showed video clear as all hell with no stutter (changed resolution - increased a little).

Try it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ualdriver:
Thanks guys, I'll try them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bennyj71:
Damn! Finally. I posted about this 15 days ago. You should update to the new Handbrake. It's much faster.

The Best Settings and the best CONVERTER For TP2

In 2 weeks I've tried it all. 8 converters to be exact. The best one out there worth anyones time is a converter call AVS Video Converter 6.3(not free but reall worth it trust me). It has it all! It's pretty quick compare to the rest, but most importantly pumps out excellent video quality with smooth framerate. There's a few that's faster but most of them has bad famerates, bad quality, or both. Yes bad framerate playing on my super computer. The best settings that work for my TP2 is the following:M4vipod at 415 bitrate, 24fps, 640X384. Plays smooth looks great can't ask for more!

Converters I Tried: Handbrake 9.3 too slow

Handbrake 9.4 got sound no video?

Iwisoft choppy framerate looks very promising waiting for a newer version

Ultra mobile 3gp not enough settings file comes out to big and to slow

Any Video Converter when it works it very good, freezes to often during conversions plus to slow.

And a few others I don't remember.

Thanks hope I can help.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] klasital:
how come I only got the sound with no video from the H264 files I converted with Handbrake on max OS X....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cfioretti:
I have been trying to get my new Sprint Touch Pro 2 to run movies smoothly using Windows Media Player Mobile. This is a very difficult task... I think I have just succeeded. At first, I was using Handbrake to encode my DVD using the 640 resolution setting. This worked great for playing on my home computer, but after using Mobile Device Center to Sync my TP2 and playing the MP4 in Windows Media Player Mobile, I only got video to play and NO AUDIO.

This was very frustrating for a long time. I finally solved the problem. I increased the video resolution to 720 in Handbrake (leaving the audio settings as is), and bingo....the audio and video both play using Windows Media Player Mobile. I used the 23fps, 16:9 setting and 768 bitrate and it plays pretty well. Not sure why audio is not playing using the 640 resolution...any ideas???

So I must be doing something wrong. Im using a failry new pc (Acer Iconia Tablet PC) and I started to convert a file in Handbrake last night around 12, 8am this morning its still converting.. what is the deal here?

I am trying to convert a .m4v file to .mp4 and the issue is that the file has subtitled I need to have burned in. I typically use videora but it didn't recognize the file.

I did the settings here (iphone settings) and i actually queued up 2 versions one with ac3 audio and one with aac, not sure which one i was supposed to choose.

Everything else was standard (subtitles burned in).

the movie is a 2.5 hour movie why is it taking so long.

I wish I was better with using vlc's conversion settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MDavisiw:
Double post on accident
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] finite:
I don't know the perfect settings, but these at least get you going with good results. They require modifying a profile which is x264 level 2.1 before I found this out I had some hit and miss results with 0.9.3 occasional green screen with sound in the Album player and consistently no video in the higher versions.

I'm using 0.9.5 now. The first thing you want to do is uncheck "always use iPod friendly file extension (.m4v) for mp4" in Tools>Options>General and maybe enable Query Editor tab in Tools>Options>Advanced/Other.

Then you want to pick the level 2.1 Apple preset: iPhone & iPod Touch

Change the Audio Mixdown to Stereo, Samplerate to 48

Change the Video to Avg Bitrate 1000 for lower res, 650 for near or full 800x480

Preset>Save Preset

Minor changes to the new preset can now be saved by right clicking on it.

Encoders need raw power your tablet PC has a specialised processor. I don't think you can burn in subtitles yet in Handbrake unless the source is DVD and they're VobSub (unsure about BluRay source) and the Audio must be set to AAC.

I think you will need to use Avidemux which has support for burning in many subtitle formats. I didn't have much luck with it up to now as it appears the Windows stable version r7200 is quite broken, partially rendered VobSubs, and crashing during encoding. So far so good using the latest beta r7317 hosted by Gruntster on the iPod preset.

HTC Touch Diamond 2: Sms sound trouble

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good afternoon,

Question 1(important):

I have got a litle problem i think..

Since 2 weeks i have got the TD2, i knew there was a problem with the sms sound, when the TD2 was in standby.

But i thought, in 6.5 it will be solved... but NO! So i have updated my TD2 to 6.5, then i downloaded the hotfix, but say's its not compatible.. (i think because its made fore W6.1..

Does anyone know's something to solve this problem ? (without flashing or custom rom's)

Because i am pretty happy with TD2, as it is, right know

(exept the alarm..)

Question 2(less important)

I have G-Alarm on my foon, but its an trail version. to make it a full version, i need to get the keygen on my foon, but its zipped...

The unzipper (winrar) is an .exe file, the foon reconised it as an wrong file.

How can i get the .exe files on my pfone ? (or winrar) ?

I hope someone can help me

(exuse me for my bad english, its not my main languae (dutch)

You have to compose via the default Windows Mobile messaging app for spell check.

I hear these AT&T commercials talking about this feature, my verizon TP2 does not do that. The speaker phone button on the back does not do anything either. Is it a setting?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Evilnut:
In my stock HTC TP2, in Phone settings (Windows Mobile's, not TouchFlo's), last tab (should be "Advanced"). There's an option that said "when the phone is facing down during a call, use loudspeaker". Check if your phone has this setting?

I don't get all these modifications by providers... in Hongkong phones are sold as is, even when bundled to a certain provider's plan. Many of those modifications aren't really improvements either...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Michael_514:
My AT&T Tilt 2 stock rom does this by default!

Cool little feature!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
not to hijack the thread or anything, but im having the same problem except with the t-mobile version. when its flipped, the mute button lights up but the speaker doesnt activate. the windows option is checked. i messed with some registry settings to enable two way recording (didnt work btw). but that cant be the problem as my brother is having the same problem with his unmodified tmo tp2. his option is checked too.

any ideas?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
I posted about this about a week ago, my solution was to get a new one.

My new one has about 75 dead pixels, so it's going back too.

I'm not satisfied with the build quality at this point... :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
the speaker does work... when you click the speaker button once in a call. it's just that it doesn't automatically do that when turned over in the call. only the mute button lights up green.

EDIT-

nevermind, it works now. i read this on your thread.

apparently i wasn't lying it evenly face down. i was trying it on the couch so that doesn't help. i layed it evenly this time and it vibrated and the speaker went on. then i did a couple of other tests at angles and sure enough you have to have it evenly face down. at one angle, i had it vibrating like a maniac because it thought it was even and then uneven.

problem solved!

[HD2 General] docchris1980:
If i set an alarm, and pick a sounds for it like "alarm-snooze" (one of the louder ones) when it comes time for the alarm, it pops up on the device with a single little high pitched "alert" beep, but does not play the alarm sound i selected.

This is a huge problem for me as i use my phone for my waking up alarm, and that tiny beep doesnt wake me up -

why isnt it using the alarm sound i have selected?

Does anyone else see this?

any way to fix?

Thanks
[HD2 General] drfroz:
I have noticed the same issue two times now. Last night and this morning when I had to wake up to work. Didn't sound the alarm I separately choosed. It didn't actually play any sound at all although it wasn't in silent mode whatsoever.
[HD2 General] hyellow:
go to settings>sounds and notifications and check the first option too, then go to the tab notifications (the right tab), choose event: Reminders and uncheck playing the sound. You can leave the show messega on the screen if you like to.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
you're describing donig it thru the "all settings" area, to do it through the HTC settings apps...

go to

Settings > Sound & Display

then select "Notification Sounds"

then set "Reminders" to OFF

It will then play the Alarm sound we selected

Thanks for the tip! its rubbish that the tiny reminders "bip" takes precedence over the Alarm sounds we select!
[HD2 General] Beards:
You are both correct...

Chris, although they are 'generic', the function can be performed either from hyellow method or yours. :)

I have been wanting this for awhile but idk how to port. If you really want the multi touch go with a Hero Rom. If you want to stick with cyanogen checkout picture viewer its free from the market. You can swipe left and right to change pic and up and down to zoom. It isnt multi touch but it works nicely. Good luck.

I tried to search a lot, but not remember the name of the software like that.

I remembered that Symbian and PPC also have the software with that function.

When you are in call conversation with someone, you wanna play one music file (mp3, wma...) as background music for both to listen.

Anyone helps me, pls?
[Palm Treo 750] edawg:
Hi I've had a vodafone branded Palm Treo 750v (specs below) running OK on Telecom XT in New Zealand since May '09. On Friday the 13th Of November, the carrier line on today screen showed "53005" instead of "Telecom NZ" and may have even said "o2" in the spot for a bit...but still worked. Then, from mid-day on the 13th through now (17 Nov) it's said "No service"...and meant it.

There were 3 times where I briefly (minutes) got service...twice in central Hamilton and one in Papakura (near Aucklaland). A sim card from 2degrees works in the phone when I get no service from the Telecom sim. Got a v2 simcard from Telecom today...same problem in store, but when I walked out it started working outside building in central Hamilton! When I drove out of central Hamilton today it stopped working. Despite hours on phone/email with Telecom, no solution. So, I'm thinking it might have something to do with the bands...maybe they changed something on Friday? Some clues:

The band selection is set to auto and auto. I understand Telecom runs WCDMA 850...and in some city centres it runs 2100...but my phone has only:

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS 2100

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

The places where I briefly got reception match up with where there is likely 2100.

Tried re-flashing ROM, removing sim, re-flashing radio, changing band settings to manual...no effect.

Any help appreciated.
[Palm Treo 750] omfg:
I'd swap to a different ROM - preferably a generic one.

Those Vodafone ROMs are locked down for some frequencies.

Your best bet is to follow some of the guides which let you install a different ROM on your phone - a good one give you more control of the frequencies you can choose. The MiniSD card bootloader method is what you're after.

I can't speak for NZ, as I've not been over there yet to play with the XT network, but in Australia on Telstra's NextG network, I set the network to:

UMTS ONLY

and UMTS(850)

I've found the coverage of the 850 umts network to be better than any of the others, and stopping the phone jumping between frequencies also helps things considerably.

But if Telecom haven't rolled out 850 in the urban centers yet, I'd set it to UMTS ONLY/ UMTS (2100+850).
