Just tried the new build and it's working pretty nice. You added some cool features to ffmpeg.plg (like avc... even though it's slow it's an open avc implementation :)).

Seems like you removed GAPI video mode?

Some small changes I suggest:

1- Use a different icon for image formats (currently it's the same as video)

2- Add video icons to the flv files in the explorer (also rmvb if possible).

3- Place the "Up" folder icon next to the address bar in the browser (so it's always visible even when view the bottom of a list with a lot of files)

Maybe some skin related changes:

1- Create a skin folder inside TCPMP to place "skins" folders

2- The "select skin" only browses the "skins" folder (instead of the last visited folder)

3- Add a "Classic interface" item to the skin selector (to replace the current "Cancel"... this way we mantain the current interface on cancel rather than changing to classic)

4- Only select the folder containing the skin (automatically detect and load the xml file inside)

5- Only switch between classic and skinned interface after reloading the player (because of the redraw issue). Prompt user if he wants to "Reload TCPMP now?"

PS: Are the sources in the first post the ones for the new build?

Ah, not a bad idea - Linux inside of a VMWare session.

By the way I'm a C/C++ developer since over 20 years (41 year old fart here), and I worked a lot in the video and real time effects domain. I just never played with mobile phone software - gonna give it a try if I find some time - the Linux solution in a virtual machine seems more simple than Cygwin which is a pain to get working the way you want.

@frmariam:

Could you please share your TCPMP (omnia) settings ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Intel Xscale video mode (with Smooth Zoom (always) and Dither enabled) as standard.

Switch to Intel Xscale Low Quality video mode if video lags (also disable Smooth Zoom (always) and Dither).

Switch to GDI if I need subtitles (because these don't work in any other video mode)

The rest of the settings are default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
@Wildcopper

The source code, features some guidelines how to compile ffmpeg and configure scripts in case you wanna try to compile it.

P.S I'm not that experienced programmer :o, just very stubborn guy.

@frmariam

avc decoding capability in ffmpeg.plg was since it was first released, and if you have avc.plg included TCPMP will preffer avc.plg for decoding h.264 videos.

Shoot, i was expirementing with gapi and changed the library name for tcpmp to search for. It was renamed from gx.dll to gxNew.dll. So if you rename gx.dll to gxNew.dll and put it into tcpmp dir the mode will be enabled. (I've just forgot to change back that name :o, the things you do when you tired and in amiddle of night :) )

EDIT: Gapi mode is now fixed, no need to rename it anymore, it now uses default name (gx.dll).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Didn't know it had avc since your first release. I tried it's capabilities by changing the AVC_ registry value to ffmpeg.plg. I've been looking for an flv video with avc just to check if it works (even if slow) but if this was already there in the first release than I guess it won't...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Ah the h.264 video in flv. I've done a bit research on this, here is the situation although tcpmp can decode h264 videos but it doesn't know how to correctly parse that stream in flv container so it is splitter.plg related problem and changes needs to be done there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Latest sourcecode is up, see first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raidenms:
YAY!

installed on my omnia and worked ok!

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hotsync100:
Thanks ..

I always use GDI (because subs), but it has some video lags. Any idea to improve this ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Yes

GDI is very slow... Intel Xscale is the best video mode in the Omnia (I don't actually need to read subtitles for English stuff anymore so I don't have this problem very often).

Subtitles also work with GAPI... Read this post. (I think you can find a gx.dll in the root of your storage card... mine had one there because of the GPS navigation app I believe).

There's another plugin that works on Intel Xscale but if flickers a lot. Also I think the video covered the topmost text line when there are 2 text lines. These issues make it quite unusable... If you want to try it get it from here (you need will need to go to Settings, disable the built-in subtitle and enable this one... you'll need to enable this plugin everytime you play a video with subtitles).

Also you can embed the subtitles into the movie (if your converting the movies yourself) depending on the program you use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Uss_Defiant:
You're right, it works just fine currently when the power button is pressed. I was more so wondering if there was any way to control it/have album art pop up using S2U2 like S2P does.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
No (afaik)...

S2U2 and S2P were both developed by A_C to work together and their both closed source. TCPMP won't work with S2U2 unless A_C himself adds this feature (which I doubt).

They both look great (though I choose not to use iPhone clone apps). The fact that it works during standby is something I never saw on any other free/hobbyist player. I'd love to see it in TCPMP (this is one of the reasons I don't use it as my music player...).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] porkenhimer:
If u have a whole album in one folder and u put a jpg file in the folder with the mp3 files and rename it folder.jpg the picture will show no matter what player u play the files in. So lets say u have 20 songs by the same artist and u put a picture in the same folder everytime u play one of the 20 songs that picture will show on the screen. Don't forget to rename the picture folder.jpg.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] et3010:
强大，好，不过希望加入支持dat格式支持
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
I don't know about dat...

But about avc I found a project named OpenSVC that is doing an h264 implementation that works as a TCPMP plugin. I tested their binaries (desktop version) and they worked fine (in GDI... it even had a crazt Ascii video mode :p). Don't know how it'd perform on a phone though...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farmer Ted:
I was happy with the first release, and didn't upgrade until this new one. It is really excellent. The new skin is great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] petrutms:
on my device says rtsp not support if i want to play youtube videos ( wince 5 ) . Any chance you could get this make it work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Use WVD to search for Youtube videos. WVD passes the link to TCPMP and the video works (TCPMP must be associated with m3u files).

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new phone (coming from a 3GS)

Android seems promising, but I'm a HEAVY aim user. Now that Android has a awesome aim app, I was wondering if you're able to send and receive audio files/pictures/etc via the app to another person? (like you can on the desktop)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hi, I have just got hold of a cheap Loox T830 and i am trying to upgrade the OS to 6.1.

I have copied the new MDOC.DIO into the FlashUpdate directory, over writing the old version, however when i try to flash it just errors out, i have tried it a few times now.

Are there other changes i need to make to any other files in the FlashUpdate directory? Are is there anything else i need to do?

Many Thanks

Assistance

Can anyone recommend any other forums where i might get help on this issue please?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Simonas0:
you can copy mdoc.dio to root of sd or micro sd card (you don't need delete files or format), then hold camera and hold red button and short push reset
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] MFMultimediaFreak:
Anyone , Who can give me tips how to saving battery in my TD2 . Every Night my phone always charging , What i must to do ? . Yeah , Every day i play the udK rom ( Wheater demo , Photos & Videos tab 3d Animation ) so the battery fast to empty . who can give tips ? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cmstackar:
Turn off bluetooth, lower screen brightness, and if you must have wireless data on, make sure it is edge, not 3g or HSDPA
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] youngmann:
Hey!

How to make sure it's edge only?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] luigug:
I have checked that these advanced settings on battery power are very important:

- switch off back light if the device is not in use for 30 sec

- deactivate the device if not used by 1 min.

:)

Hey guys,

I installed an app for disabling the internet connectivity. The app is called Dial-up Enabler Disabler. I installed through Open Market. Try it, works like a charm.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] bmazloum:
Fastest way to disable 3G/H is to go to the Phone settings and switch it to GSM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] dubber1:
can this be done with stock winmo 6.5 rom manilla 2.1? either att has crippled this ability or I am just not seeing it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Ciedric:
It is stock but won't work all the time. Sometimes 3G turn on by it self. I use NoData, that's a simple app that does the trick.

@Ts

Some tips.

Install TD2 Tools from Gaz. It can save you CPU (so some battery usage). After changing the cache settings my CPU runs after start-up on 45% (formally 58%). After extreme usage, e-mail, internet/surfing, gaming, movies. It is like 65-67% (formally to 70-80%)

Install cleanRAM to close all of your applications you think are closed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] dubber1:
thanks Ciedric!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] hgajjar:
I installed the DialUp Enabler Disabler tool, disabled all the connections. Set the backlight time out to 30 secs., Disable bluetooth and WiFi when not using it. This allows me to use my phone for 1.5 days.

When travelling, I change the wallpaper to plain white background, lower down the volume to minimum and avoid using the phone when the coverage is poor (as phone uses more battery when coverage is bad), not using speakerphone and the battery lasts approximately 20-25% more than usual.

Also, although companies do claim that newer batteries are not affected by this, but I would suggest not to overcharge the battery, charge it during daytime when you can see that it is completely charged (avoid overnight charges), leave it for like 10 minutes extra and charge again when the battery is less than 12%, it works for me always. I have four cell phones, and 3 are more than 2 year old, still they give me more than 2 days of usage without charging.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ~ManOwaR~:
You have to disable wi-fi, bluetooth and disable the automatic data connection for meteo and e-mail (no matter if you are under 2G or 3G network).

In this way my battery DOUBLE it's duration!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] aybarrap1:
To allow switching between 3G and Edge you need to modify registry. With a registry editor, go to following registry key [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting] and change "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1, which will enable band selection page in phone settings. From there you will have to go to "Start - Settings - Personal - Phone". At the bottom you will now see a tab called "Band" in which you will have two drop downs. Under the first one you have the options of "Auto", "GSM", and "WCDMA". "GSM" is your EDGE only and "WCDMA" is your 3G. "Auto" allows for EDGE only when 3G mode is not available or drops temporarily.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
one of the best is to set the brightness of the screen yourself, and uncheck "automatically adjust backlight setting".
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] qingcao:
I used the app 'Addin Timer' to scheduler the tasks, turn on the

Airplane Mode

in the night before sleeping, and turn off it in the morning. The battery cost 2% or 1% whole night. And this is good to our health/reduce the radiation, yes?

A good ROM may help you saving the battery, the official build used up the battery quickly by my experience

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codington:
Is it possible to install the HTC Mail client (from HTC Desire) on the Nexus 1? I've grown used to the 2.1 interface and not interested in running Sense UI. However, I would like to have the HTC Mail client since it comes with full Exchange support (mail, contacts, calendar). I know it is not as easy as pushing the APK - I already tried that and got the Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. Any ideas on whether running this app (with libraries) on the Nexus 1 is possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AMoosa:
N1 already does exchange mail and contacts. just install motocal and motogal for exchange calendar and global address list.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kolyan:
Mail client in N1 does not seem to fully support mail2web exchange, and the client is VERY limited. I had to purchase Touchdown.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carnegie0107:
Yeah, the HTC Mail client depends on HTC's frameworks, which means you have to run a full HTC ROM to get it. you can, however, push the default 2.1 Launcher2.apk into a Desire ROM, for that stock feel with HTC goodies. (well, you should be able to. I haven't tried it, but see no reason why it wouldn't work). And if you want to go even farther, you could probably push Browser.apk, Calendar.apk, maybe even Settings.apk... and a bunch of others to make it look and feel stock, but keep some HTC goodies. And I'm sure there's a morph out there that will change the statusbar back to light color.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NexVision:
You dont need to push anything the launcher is there... Go to settings programs and disable dfaults for htc sense and bam u have default launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codington:
I am running CorGAL and MotoCAL right now. The 2 features I am missing is the ability to look up corporate addresses from

We have 5,000 employees and although I don't email each of them routinely - I just don't want to have to look them up individually each time - nor do I want to download their email to my address book. I know Touchdown can do all of this, but I think their implementation is horrible. HTC Mail client is a nice piece of work and that is what I would like to use.

Since from the first use of device I'm not be able to access contents of sd card from pc. I have installed the latest version of htc sync available in htc' s site.

When I check the option disk drive from USB to Pc, I can see the new removable disk in file explorer, but I cannot access to this disk.

I always get the error: insert a disk to the drive M (translated to english cause my pc have greek locale).

Have anyone else this issue?
[Click General] Zecanilis:

I did simply repair the HTC Sync.

Restart the pc.

And then connected worked.
[Click General] dancer_69:
Some how the problem solved. I tried a lot connect disconnect, close and open htc sync, and suddently I get access to my sd card. I didn't do something different from the other tries, but this time works. First time after a lot of tries and reboots the last couple of days.
[Click General] thacen:
Connecting as Disk Drive is not accepted easily. I think it is always required to activate USB debugging mode first. So, simple way is first choose HTC sync mode on the phone, after it get connected change to Disk Drive mode. It works..
[Click General] dancer_69:
Thanks for the tips.

Sometimes don't work though. Needed to connect/disconnect several times to work properly. Sometimes when I connect the cable, the popup window doesn't appear(I have checked the asking option) and sync doesn't work too. And after some tries when connect the cable the popup appears and work both sync or disk option.

[HD2 General] andreasfuntastic:
how to lock all buttons exept the power button in wm6.5 ?

In wm6.1 it was possible to change that in settings/keys menu. But in wm6.5 this is gone for some stupid reason!

I dont want to use ext. app like pocketshield for such a basic and simple feature.

Reason: when phone is screenlocked - any hardwarekey wake up phone from standby. And of course the screen pops up and drain battery. HD2 keys are recessed and in the pocked can easyly accidentialy get pressed. When screen weaks up for some reasons (incoming call or other notification event) the buttons are not locked and i dont need to describe what funny things can happen then (just imagine on your own). Even accidentialy changes to my settings happened in my pocket without recognising.

HTC: this is ridiculous.

Pls help. Is there maybe a easy reghack to activate this basic feature again, like it was implemented in previous Rom versions?
[HD2 General] zelduy:
the button lock in WM6.5 is the same as WM6.1 (got X1 before)

but in HD2 it's different.. and I don't think anyone solved this problem yet...
[HD2 General] kilrah:
No known solution indeed, apart from using S2U2, and if you want to save more battery adding proximitylock.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
what if you locked the keys while you are making a call with bluetooth and you want to look in your phone? You'd have to press the "end call/power" button..

Also since the power button turns the screen off, I automaticly press the same button to turn the screen on when I'm not making a call.. I can't count the times I've ended a call by accident like this.. another great design flaw of this phone

[Nexus One General] www1:
Hello.

I try different way to root nexus but I have no lucky.

To root I use superboot.

In first i update on ERE36B.

After i use superboot ere36b himem.

It install but superpermission doesen't work.

I try to reflash wwith ERE36B upgrade (with RA-nexus 1.5.3).

Retry superboot but same result.

I try to downgrade to ERE27, same problem.

I try to restore ERD79, superboot. Same problem.

Now I try to reupgrade to ERE36B but I think there is a permission problem on my Nexus.

Anyone can help mo to root my Nexus?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] biggerbigboy:
have you installed the usb drivers? ive got the same problems, then i installed them and anything worked
[Nexus One General] www1:
Yes.

I also try the develop mode on application but the problem not solved.

Now I try on mac.
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
forget the superboot.... i mean, if you don't mind to go for cyanogenmod ROM, the steps are very simple:

1) unlock bootloader

2) flash amon_ra (i think you have done that)

3) flash latest radio (i think you have done that too, otherwise, can obtain from cyanogen's thread)

3) flash cyanogenmod 5.0.3.1

4) flash google bits (can obtain from cyanogen's thread)

then you should be good to go.... i never used superboot, but then I am a heavy cyanogen fan, so that's all i needed

pm me if you need more help... i am however in China. here it is 10:16pm now, so i may be gone in an hour or so
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
by all means, you have to keep the "development mode" (= debugger) enabled at any time when working with customized roms
[Nexus One General] www1:
I know.

I have it all time enabled

The problem is that I can't root the Nexus.

I try different way but nothing.

Anyone can wrote me a guide to restore completly the phone and after try to root?

Superuser Permission start but are black and doesn't work.

I try many reflash but same problem.

have try with dev mode or not.

Nothing change.

Plese help me.

:(
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
please tell me at what step are you right now? do you have amon_ra recovery? can you go into recovery?
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
hi there.

since this thread is in the totally wrong section of the forum (it should be in Nexus General, i am afraid it will be closed by the moderators soon.

so you can send me Private Message - i will try to help
[Nexus One General] www1:
Yes.

Now I have upgrade to ERE36B with amon ra, I have launch superboot and I have superpermission on Nexus but It not work.

I think I have to restore the Nexus to all original setting and rom (radio i think it's not important) and after do all update and rooting.

I think there is a problem that can be solved because I made only upgrade with Amon ra.
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
i don't understand why you want to stay with superboot... i never needed it.

to get root, just do this:

1) download the cyanogenmod rom (5.0.3.1) from the cyanogenmod thread

2) download the google apps from the same thread

3) put both on your sdcard

4) in amon_ra, flash cyanogenmod rom first

5) reboot

6) reboot into amon_ra recovery

7) in amon_ra, flash google apps

8) reboot

then you should be good to go and should have root

after that you can flash other roms, if you don't want to stay with cyanogen's rom
