[Nexus One Android Development] coolbho3000:
I think that problem is entirely different from the color depth issue. That more has to do with the subpixel layout of the screen. I need patterns to actually test the color depth of the screen.

In any case, they did not look any different between the stock cm-kernel and my build.

edit: I think it's safe to say that there is absolutely no difference on this hardware. For those wondering, it's a really simple tweak. Just get rid of the restraint that checks for system rev (if (system_rev > 0xC0)) in board-mahimahi-panel.c.
[Nexus One Android Development] hugonz:
Not necessarily: the two added bits could be the least significant bits in which case it would still work, with the panel controller silicon reading zeros (assuming those lines were tied low on the PCB). You wouldn't even notice (colors would have shifted ever so slightly), but the color depth would still be only RGB565.

I'm starting to think this issue is significantly more complex that I first thought though, as the panel controller chip clearly is doing much more than just moving data and driving the panel. As per the Ars article (and other sources), we know that all kinds of filtering and signal processing is going on in the panel. It's fair to assume therefore that the panel controller chip could also be doing some spatiotemporal dithering at a level below what we have software control over. It's presumably parameterizable using the initiation register settings (in

samsung_oled_rgb666_init_table[]

), but they are not publically documented.
[Nexus One Android Development] zeroaltitude:
I have been watching this thread with some interest. At first I was wondering how easy it would be to implement a very trivial temporal dithering algorithm in the driver -- I had a few toy ideas.

But given the latest posts, and the information from Ars, I wonder if the first step might to find out what those initialization parameters might be. Are these parameters something that Google might conceivably tweak in a future release of Android? Is there any documented panel that might give clues as to how these parameters might be organized? How dangerous is it to make guesses and tweak those parameters, and test the results?

-Curious developer
[Nexus One Android Development] coolbho3000:
To answer the last question, not dangerous at all, but how would one test the effectiveness of a tweak?

If I want to view video files on my Hero what format do I need to use? The files I currently want to watch are in divx format.

Thanks, TL
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
If you download double twist to your computer, it will automatically format the video format to watch on your phone. Its super simple.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
They need to be in mp4 format.
[Hero CDMA General] WhiteWidows:
divx is a avi which is not supported. I think there maybe a app that plays them but im not sure that its stable. Covert them to mp4.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I believe Meridian Noble plays AVI, not sure about DivX encoding.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
It has to be encoded as mp4 and not divx or xvid. There is no codec in android currently to read a divx or xvid file.
[Hero CDMA General] katmandu421:
Video support in Android just plain sucks in general imo.
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
i think yxflash supports divx, not sure how well it plays though and you have to pay for it :P
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Not necessarily any developers fault (not that you where blaming one) but its difficult to make an Android app run native code which is needed for decoding. The JVM from what I understand cannot handle that kind of work so it is passed on thru Native Code. Not impossible, just difficult.
[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
Something to clarify: The difference between audio/video format and file container.

MKV, AVI, MP4, 3GP .. these are all containers. This DOES NOT specify the video or audio format.

I believe the best core supported media format is h.264 AVC video with AAC audio in the MP4 file container. You might be able to use different file containers or audio/video formats so you will just have to experiment.

I have not tried doubleTwist for video encoding yet, but you can find A LOT of info on video encoding over at the doom9.org forums. MediaCoder is also an excellent freeware application which has some device specific versions.

Alright, here's what I've got. CDMA HTC Hero, rooted and running MCR.

I open up A2SD, and it says the card isnt formatted correctly. I set it at about 500mb for the ext3 partition, and it says running VERY briefly, then goes to "finished". Reboot, restart the app, same thing. I've got a 16GB MicroSD.

Whats the deal here? I've looked some stuff up, but cant really get anywhere with this. Any ideas?

PS - I've got a few google voice invites... I *might* be willing to throw one to whoever helps me out here. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Format it back to ext2, ext3 and ext 4 won't even let my phone boot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Off the top I'd say check how you formatted. I have trouble doing linux partitions on the MAC so I assume you used the hero, and not a pc. You should see the subtraction of the size of the linux partition from the size of the fat32 one. Sorry.

TO get results I would ask at http://android.modaco.com/

BTW no invite.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummingfool:
Tried ext2, still nothing. Even tried adding a swap file, no go there either.

Am I just missing something here?

I used Paragon partition manager to resize the fat32 partition, then used the extra unallocated space to create an ext2. When it still didnt work, I tried resizing the fat32 again and adding a swap partition, and still nothing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
If you take the card out of the phone and put it in something else, does it show up as a FAT or NTFS file system?

Swap won't do anything for now but take up space on the card.

Could you try the original 2 gig card or any other one? Just as a comparison.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
what do you mean "open up"?

apps2sd is a script. there is nothing to open up. it should run automatically without you noticing anything or you can manually run it from the shell.

did you DL some kind of app?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummingfool:
I mean when I open up the Apps2SD Program that is in my menu, it still says my card isnt formatted right, and linda file manager says that my space for apps is still only 159MB.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
First things first... do you know what adb shell is?

If not then go to the market and get "quick system info"

If apps2sd is working there will be a A2SD Storage section in that program.
[General Questions and Answers] Newfie:
Hi All,

I've got a P4000 (Titan), and battery performance is awful when I run a program called Konoma to listen to internet radio stations.

With a fully charged battery (I have three that I rotate), I can barely get an hour our of it.

What really drives me insane is that while I'm driving, with the phone plugged in and charging, via USB, the battery STILL continues to drain. I'll get more than an hour, but eventually the battery dies.

I read that this is a problem inherent with the design of the P4000; it can't charge, via USB, while the phone is ON.

I was looking at upgrading to the TouchPro 2, but read that it also has this problem.

I like HTC products, and I love this site as it has allowed me to have fun with the phone, flashing, etc.

Does anyone know if all HTC phones have this problem? If not, which ones have fixed it? I'm hoping to get a fully-featured phone like the TP2, as long as it'll charge while ON and plugged into a usb charging port.

Thanks for your help,

Craig

Optimum settings (IMO): orientation left-handed, zoom best-fit, video - use DirectDraw as renderer, dither on, and smooth-zoom always; in DirectDraw settings choose YUY2 as overlay format, tick "use device stretching when blitting" and untick the other two boxes.

Depends where the photo were saved.....main memory or memory card? there are many programs available that can recover *deleted* files from memory cards. I can recommend tis one: "Zero Assumption Recovery" which allows you to recover only 4 files per run in the trial version but completely recover all files for the full version. If you have more than 4 files to recover then u have to re run the program everytime after recovering the last 4 files but it still works.

Recovery of deleted photos depends on few factors such as the storage media that is in use, and the time that has passed after the photo loss has occurred. If overwriting has not taken place, then is definitely possible, as there are innumerable number of photo recovery utilities available online.

A FreeWare Recovery Program

freedatarecoverysoftware.net

Free Data Recovery Software can get your lost data back and recover files and folders that previously deleted.

Features:

Securely recovers deleted content from NTFS, FAT or FAT32 partitions.

Retains folder structure where possible in an organized matter.

Uses a familiar explorer like interface for easy overview and retrieval of lost data.

Fast. Recovery information's are retrieved per user action.

High data recovery success rate. Compare the data retrieval success with most commercial programs - in most cases the percentage of data recovered is actually higher with FDRS. Why pay then?

Very easy to use. Click to scan drive, find lost file, click to recover them.

Free Data Recovery Software is portable. That means it does not require installation, there is only one stand alone executable (.exe) that can be run from removable drives, CD or DVD drives, memory cards, flash memory etc.

FDRC cost nothing, it is free and it will remain free.

Success,

Senax

The data in the memory card can get corrupted or damaged due to accidental deletion, frequent disk formats, software virus and many others. When memory card corrupts, data stored inside it becomes completely inaccessible and users cannot search the required result. For this, memory card recovery algorithms should be used.

How to recover photos if deleted or lost

Hi There,

The Lost photos or files can be recovered easily as you have lost your photo its nothing to worry about. The deleted photos are seems to be deleted but they are still there in the memory and you can retrieve them. So to recover deleted photo is not a big task but only the condition is that you should not save anything on you storage media after you deleted you photos. If its attempted then the files will be overwritten and cannot be recovered.
