If you zoom in enough on most pictures in your gallery there's an obvious decrease in quality whether in noise, artifacts, or down-scaling regardless of resolution or image quality.

I'm sure this has been addressed many times before, as there are alternatives to the stock gallery, but I was hoping there was a possibility of changing/improving the compression algorithms so that images come up clearer, or less pixelated. If anyone can offer any help please consider this request.

It's disheartening knowing how good the amoled screen is but not being able to view images to their fullest glory on the N1.
[Nexus One General] cekle:
For some reason the Nexus One browser and gallery applications (as well as the home screen wallpapers) render images in 16-bit color when stationary, but render it full color while zooming or panning.

It's really just bizarre.
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
Perhaps it's to improve the performance of the gallery. I'm sure the N1 could handle better without having to scale down. I hate viewing pictures that I take and thinking the camera is worse than it is to realize that it is a result of extreme compression.

EDIT: I know you can set wallpapers in higher quality by downloading an app called "Wallpaper Set and Save", and there are always other browsers available.

I've searched for a few hours looking to find the original registry information for the hard keys.

Can someone post the data from their HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys

I think I just need the info for the End Call key.

Or, if this issue has been brought up and solved previously, can someone direct me to the thread?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One General] qiuness:
I read, and read, and read. Most of the chefs cook this mod into their ROM's but i am using the desire from modaco, so i`m left out.

As far as i understand, you have to create 3 Partitions on the SD Card:

- swap

- Ext2/3?

- FAT32

After that you do some shell editing and that's about it.

I`m sure some are wondering as i do if:

- Can i create the partitions in Windows and then place the card back into the phone?

- If i install apps2sd is backup still required? Or will a new ROM Flash automatically use the installed apps?

So this is an appeal to someone with the heart and knowledge to help us out with a guide.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] qiuness:
Found this thread, so basically it should work after flashing that ROM on top of the current OS.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
You do not need the swap partition... just an ext partition (size your choice)... the rest vfat... and you partition it using Amon_RA's recovery...

And when you flash a new ROM, you might need to re-enable App2SD in that ROM to see the apps installed in the sd ext partition...
[Nexus One General] britoso:
a related question.... can the files of the existing apps be moved from /data to the new partition /sd and still function.....or do they need to be reinstalled?
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
I highly doubt you can just move them...
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
tried this... was not successful!
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
I can't even get the "SD Secondary" to show up?!?

I've wiped everything

partitioned:

swap 0

ext 640

then installed a fresh rom I copied over and no "SD Secondary" showing up on the phone... any ideas?

I followed these steps exactly... (minus the memory number difference)

[Nexus One General] seanowns:
Guys,

If you want to use A2SD. Enothmer's new ROM seems to be the easiest at the moment, BUT many smart devs are putting efforts towards this.

Basically.

Copy your SD to your computer.

Partition it via Recovery.

512mb 96 swap our my settings

do an EXT2 to 3

I did a 3 to 4, you can use 3 though.

Re copy your stuff from computer BACK to your SD.

WIPE everything via recovery. factory, EXT partition, battery, davlik.

Flash Enom's 1.7.1 rom, Log in, Go into spare parts, click disk mgmt, check A2SD stuff, reboot. Your good to go. Use titanium back up, download, whatever.

Again, other good versions should be coming out soon. I think of the current models Enom's seems to be the easiest.
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
Yeah I pretty much gave up on it for now... it will be more worth it in the future when I get a larger SD card and my list of install apps goes up. For now I just don't go download a ton of apps...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] netqer:
It's a rmplugin for tcpmp developed by ghosting from pdafans.com(Chinese).

Source: bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=884413&extra=&highlight=&page=1

It was tested on Xda flame with rv40+aac,rv30+cook(low bitrate).

But it didn't play so smoothly with rv40+aac(640*480,25fps,600kbps).

important: try to import the fix.reg while your rm video can't be played.

Sorry for my BAD English....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
These are nice news indeed :) Did the author rlease the source code for this (and if so could you post it here? pdafans doesn't allow to view posts unless you're a member...).

The plugin seems to piggyback on dlls compiled from mplayer by ajeet (version 0.3).

Just tried and it works quite well (apart from a display issue if "Pixel Aspect Ratio" is set to "Auto"... the image becomes too stretched...).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] netqer:
the author said he would release the source code soon.

but until now I didn't see the source.

Maybe the Mplayer on ppc and this rmplugin share the same binary code from real, I think.

in addition, thank you for your introduction to this new mplayer.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
Those are good news :)

TCPMP has been seeing a lot of action lately. bimbam69 did some much needed updates and improvements and even skin support to TCPMP.

ajeet hasn't released his sources yet... Don't know if those plugins can be compiled direcly from mplayer without any modifications... If not we'll have to wait for him to update these components or release the sources.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Unit ZER0:
Sorta works... Sorta doesn't...

Just downloaded, currently testing... So far, the .rmvb files I have will parse, and I can hear the audio just fine, unfortunately I could do the same with my previous rmsplitter plugin. I still cannot see video however. I get the error message "RealVideo9 not supported!" any ideas? Is this an improvement over just the rmsplitter plugin? and if so, which RealVideo formats does it support?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
Video works for me...

Try deleting the old rmsplitter and the whole TCPMP registry subkey using a registry editor...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Unit ZER0:
Final Report

As it turns out, I did not need to delete the subkey, It appears .rm files encoded using RealVideo9 cannot be played, but .rm files encoded using older versions of RealVideo can. During testing, I also noticed that audio and video were out of sync, with the video playing approximately .5 to .7 seconds faster than the audio playback. Also, the video tended to freeze at points with high motion, then jump forward to a almost synced point. Compared to the .rm plugin for PWMP, the video playback is a cut above, smooth and crisp, if a bit choppy. However, the PWMP version has slightly better audio synchronization, with the audio stopping when the video did, even with chop. This plugin is a significant step forward in the area of RealMedia playback, but more testing/development is needed, especially in the areas of removing .dll dependencies altogether, and improving audio/video synchronization though this may be a hardware issue. I am definitely looking at this as a valuable addition to my Master Codec Pack once development is complete.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
The video playback portion is done by the dll files that were done by ajeet...

In his thread some users reported they needed to use add LoadModuleLow, 1 (reg name, value) to use them but I personally didn't experince this (did you import the fix.reg file to your registry?). Then again other users in ajeet thread were also not able to watch real video.

ghosting won't be able to update these since ajeet never released the source (also the latest version of wince mplayer doesn't even come with the rv20, rv30 and rv40 dlls).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Unit ZER0:
Actually, I entered all the reg entries manually, and playback works almost flawlessly with lower bitrate files, not perfect, but as I mentioned previously, a significant step foreward. I also had no problems once the reg values were loaded. now what did you mean by: "add LoadModuleLow, 1 (reg name, value)" ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
What I meant was to do exactly what you did (entering those reg keys)...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] netqer:
try to import fix.reg...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bimbam69:
Hey great news a new plugin :)

But unfortunatly I can't get it to play real media files :( Can you post some test files, because all files i have can't be played. I downloaded some test files from http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/.

Also there is an idea for dev who is workin on it :) a ffmpeg has its native decoders for realmedia.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
@bimbam69

How did you download the files (I couldn't... those were just the streaming protocol links)?

Try mplayer sample database
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bimbam69:
I've downloaded those files using rmDownloder :) Anyway thanks for link to some not bad collection of test files :)

Tried real media videos from there ant some files were played on tcpmp. Plugin works for me without adding reg values.

I didnt know theres a 3200. I have the 2800. I doesnt give me twice the battery life of the stock battery
[Nexus One Accessories] jongie123:
I think is better just buying a second stock battery especially since there are only $25.
[Nexus One Accessories] McFroger3:
They apparntly dont even show the 2800 mAh battery on thier website anymore lol.
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
Are there any more comparison pics or reviews out there? I am beginning to think I should have just gotten this and not a bunch of standard batteries. Swapping them is a pain, especially with Swype crapping out after every restart.
[Nexus One Accessories] Fuse8499:
I bought the 2800 mAh and hated the way it made my phone feel and look. No cover for the camera lens either. I used it for 4 days and went back to my stock battery. My phone obviously lasted longer in between charges, but not enough for me to keep using it.
[Nexus One Accessories] hkfriends:
now 3200mAh

still looks urgly

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy32hnx1-bk.htm
[Nexus One Accessories] malicious85:
why not just carry an extra charged 1400 or 1600?
[Nexus One Accessories] John_duh:
'cause then you need to turn of the phone, swap the battery, wait for it to boot again.

I'd rather have it all in one.
[Nexus One Accessories] hah2110:
I've decided to just go with a Iogear GearPower Portable Battery. I think it is more versatile.
[Nexus One Accessories] lightforce:
that back cover looks like a$$
[Nexus One Accessories] ayman07:
i know it looks ugly but wootroot said he got 36.5 hours on heavy use! i mean, i use my nexus one HEAVILY and i get about 5.5 hours before needing to charge it. u can get it for $70 on ebay so you save a little money, i have the money (i sold my dock and some stuff for the sole purpose of getting this thing) but now that i have it, i dont know if i wanna buy it. its seems too expensive, but charging this thing 3 times a day is starting to get really annoying. if i do, ill post up some pics.

[Nexus One Accessories] BlackElvis79:
Its hella fugly...reminds me ofthose old motorola flip phones from the late eighties/early nineties.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
That didn't stop me from ordering one. I bought the phone and extended battery for its function, not its looks.
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
It looks like they updated the cover considerably. It's not nearly as fugly.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
It looks the same as the 2800 cover to me.

I have it.

I don't think they redesigned anything but change the battery to something better.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
It would be funny if it was just a new sticker on the outside :)
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I got my Seidio 3200mAh battery and cover. I have to say, it doesn't look bad at all. Theres a little gap between the cover and the phone along the bottom 1/3, but hardly a concern. I'm sure over time being squished in my belt case it will conform a bit closer. Theres enough room under the cover to store a sandwich and a few spare Micro-SD cards.

Also, the phone fits my hand better, no more palm/finger wrap over the touchscreen. So far, I'm 100% satisfied. Now I'm sending the battery off to d0ugie for testing.
[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
That's pretty much the consensus that most of us 2800 owners have.

I also like the added width (whoa).

I just wish theyd have enclosed the camera housing, and I'd be more prone to use it.

[Nexus One Accessories] lp1527:
Preliminary Review- Battery Cover Only

Just received my 3200 mAh battery. Although I haven't been able to charge for the recommended initial 8 hours yet and therefore have not used the battery, my biggest concern (as I've already read great things about the battery life itself) was the fit and appearance of the cover.

At the top the phone, where the OEM cover is absent, the Seidio cover fits very well, very snug and except for the obvious color difference, blends well. The bottom 1/3, as previously stated in this thread, does have a noticeable and somewhat unsightly but fairly minor gap between the cover and the phone, as there is nowhere to snap the cover into down here. It's not a deal breaker, especially if the increased battery life proves to be as good as it sounds, but it is annoying.

There are pros of the replacement cover, though. The slight added bulk provides a very noticeable better, more comfortable grip on the phone. This has made typing easier and general handling of the device a bit more 'solid.' Particularly, the device feels much better when being used with a single hand, as I ofter do.

I immediately contacted Seidio, and I was told (surprisingly) that they have received complaints about this and their designers are aware of the problem. I was asked to provide my email to be kept updated of any possible remedies, but who know when or even if there will be.

I'll provide some additional feedback as to battery life soon. So far so good though!
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I solved my gap issue by gently heating the lower locking tabs on the case with a hot air soldering iron, then gently pushed the tabs down 2-3mm. Now my cover fits like a glove.
[Nexus One Accessories] lp1527:
Really????????? I've been contemplating ways to make it a bit more snug but am worried about screwing it up lol.... Can you provide more details, perhaps some pics??

Greatly appreciated and great work man!
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
Sure! I'm on the road at the moment, but when I get back to my office in 4 hours I'll take a picture showing how I bent the tabs.

I tried just pushing them lower, towards the rear of the case, but they still bent downward. I was afraid it wouldn't work, but in fact, the case snapped into place very securely.
[Nexus One Accessories] lp1527:
AWESOME-- again, much appreciated as I want to be careful to not damage.

Thanks again my friend!!!!
[Nexus One Accessories] chumby:
Does anyone know if the SD to MicroSD card below fits inside the bigger case/battery as well?

[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I believe it will, with a little cutting of the support ribs on the bottom of the case. Ill order some and find out. I have 32gb SDHC cards that would be great to have in my phone.

Edit: 10 units ordered.
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
please post more pictures, very interested in how it looks. (earlier pics aren't very clear)
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
Heres some pics of the cover itself.

On the next picture you can see that I bent the two outer tangs to the right and down.

View attachment 300353
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
Nice, so there sure looks like is a lot of room for the SD card adapter! Let us know how it goes.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I'm hoping to fit a 32gb Full Size SDHC in the adapter, and still have storage room for at least one more 32gb card.

It would be nice to have 128gb storage available :D
[Nexus One Accessories] chumby:
Soft Case

Is there a soft case out there that will actually fit the N1 now with the thicker back?

Cheers

Chumby
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
I'm curious if that adapter will allow use of an SDHC hard of more than 32 gb capacity. I've often seen where upper limits of manufacturer specs are exceeded by upgrades without issue. It happens all the time on PCs with RAM and hard drive capacities.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
SD Cards greater than 32gb are called SDXC, and they won't work with the hardware in our phones/computers AFAIK.
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
Are they pinned differently? What makes them incompatible? Is it a really a controller chipset limitation, or is it a kernel limitation?
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=SDXC+secure+digital
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
There's a clear as mud answer.

From Wikipedia:

So it looks as if SDHC readers could possibly read slower SDXC cards, if there is software support, and if they exist.
[Nexus One Accessories] spr33:
Is it possible to take a photo of the phone with the back cover on to show there is no gap (with your mod of course)? It's the gap that's been keeping me from buying the Seidio battery.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
Wow, you're the first person who ever doubted me!

Keep in mind, there is no gap, just the surface of the back of the phone touching the case.

I really like the rear case. I'm extremely disappointed at the performance rating of the battery. If you've been following the other thread or http://batteryboss.org , the Seidio 3200mAh battery measured 2685mAh on a computerized testing device. The stock 1400mAh battery tested at 1357mAh, so the testing methodology is valid.

So you're paying a real premium to basically have a double capacity battery.
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
I'm still debating on this or the 1600mah battery. Hopefully some tests will be done soon so we can get an idea if its even worth it. how big was the gap before you "modded" the back cover? was it hard to do? whats the likely hood of over bending and snapping the clips?
[Nexus One Accessories] spr33:
I didn't doubt you, I just wanted to see how it looked! Thank you very much for posting the photos.

I have been following the other thread and even double the capacity is better than what I'm currently getting from the stock battery.

Engadget mobile just posted their 'opinion' on the Seidio and stated it lasted 30 hours with 'normal' use. I don't quite understand what they define 'normal' to be, but 30 hours seems a little long to me. (see here http://bit.ly/bNuNXX)

Now I just need to save up I guess.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I only trust the results from http://batteryboss.org .
[Nexus One Accessories] INeedYourHelp:
does the back case affect the camera at all?
[Nexus One Accessories] azalex86:
Just an FYI for anyone else with the case, you can also get the backing flush with the phone by using rubberbands. I wrapped 4 rubberbands around the base of the phone, and left it there overnight, and when I took them off, it's completely flush now...bent the prongs to the appropriate angle.

Don't overtighten to the point it cracks your screen...although I can't see that happening with regular rubberbands.
[Nexus One Accessories] danielherrero:
Hi be bought this battery and. I am happy. This is a power tank with similar size to the original one :)
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
Not at all. The case is recessed in the back, and theres a hole for the camera lens, but no protective clear lens in the case itself. My pictures are sharper now, as that original cover always got filthy.
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
will definately try rubber bands thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] h2opoloplyr_11:
wow that doesnt look bad at all! most extended battery i see are just plain fugly! Like the one i had when i had my 8525:

Might pick this up, but for my day to day use, (custom rom, set cpu, power manager) i have been able to use my phone as much as i need to and can, and still get around 45% before i go to bed. I always unplug my phone around 7 am.

But will definitely get this if i feel like the stock battery isnt just enough!

Thanks for this thread!
[Nexus One Accessories] lordofsilence:
It's amazing how bad technology is many times,we spend hundreds of $$$$ and we get short lasting batteries and right after we purchase the phone we have to spend more money on batteries.
[Nexus One Accessories] danielherrero:
hi

I ve a 3200 mAh seidio battery. Its nice but I ve a big problem. If a remove the battery and put it again the battery level goes to 0%. It doesnt matter if previously was 100%. If I remove it then and put it again the level is 0% and I ve to charge it again several hours. Is it normal?. Its a real problem because nexus one hasnt reset button so if the device is freezed I ve to remove the battery and then charge it again several hours.... :(

but its very strange because the battery came with 30% of battery, as usually in this cases
[Nexus One Accessories] paulk_:
Sounds like a faulty battery, though I've never heard of such a thing happening before
[Nexus One Accessories] danielherrero:
After a few minutes charging 0%, 1%...4% then 100%. It seems the battery is very new and isnt correctly calibrated by now.....
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
My wifes 3200 doesn't do that. The only quirk with hers is that it only charges to 98%.
[Nexus One Accessories] paulk_:
Maybe you can try leaving it charging for longer. Mine charges till 100%.. sometimes. Then it'll drop to 99% and won't go up. Pretty weird. Unfortunately mine only lasts around as long as the stock battery and I've been waiting for an RMA number since last Monday.
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
seems like the 3200 is still unclear if its worth it? I'd hate to get one and it be defective...
[Nexus One Accessories] codito:
Jeeeeesus that makes the formerly so sleek and sexy phone fat and ugly! I don't care how much battery life it gives, there's no way that's worth it.
[Nexus One Accessories] paulk_:
@Cheeze[iT] Apparently my replacement has already been mailed out to me, will update when I get it, hopefully this one will be okay.

@codito It's a matter of preference, I actually just took off the back cover and I'm using the Innocase Surface II again now. The feel is incredible, but if the battery that's coming to me in the mail is good to go, I think it's a good tradeoff for not having to worry about not having enough battery when you're spending the whole day out.
