being a video editor by trade, i have no problem re-encoding video prior to transferring media to my phone as i have the hardware and software to do so painlessly. starting from a high quality/high resolution video file and encoding down to an mp4 correctly yields in smaller filesize while retaining amazing quality. i've recently encoded a full 1080p 25min video (which started at 4gb) down to an HTC Video Player friendly video that was a hair over 300mb...with nearly no difference in quality. it plays perfectly in the native player...no problems whatsoever. i've considered doing a write up for the boards and may do so if i have time, but if you have any questions, fire away.

Transformers movies path

Hi, can someone write the exact path of the Transformers path in the SD card, so the application luncher can find them.

Thanks in advance :cool:
[HD2 General] imakul8:
CorePlayer

Just make a folder named 'Transformers' on your memory card, install the files to it and it will find it.

Transformers looks wonderful, but converting is such a chore with getting all the settings right and such. Of course, I would want the exact conversion process that was used on Transformers. Coreplayer is the best for me. No converting, just play and the quality is very high. Plus, best music player and streams Youtube videos. It's the only app I've paid nearly $30.00 for and would do it again. I must have it.
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
Yes I would love to see a write up, the prob Im having is I have been trying different programs & settings for burning my dvd's to my phone and none have looked as good as the Transformers movies. Any insight would be appreciated
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
I flashed RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe and now no problems with Bluetooth ....works 100% ...no force closed no skips, nothing at all ..

amazing that i have tried all the ROMs out there and they all had crappy BT and now all is working ....
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
as in you ran the exe from your computer or flashed the zip someone made of it?
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
i ran the exe from PC ..however further testing i think im stuck at the new bootloader .. i havent tried my nandbackup yet but no biggy ..all i wanted was the damn BT to work good as i use the phone to play nusic more then i use it to make calls...lol

had to re-root the phone , all worked fine except for the recovery image part but i was able to fix that ...all seems good right now ..gona test further and see what else i can break...
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
Damit, you suck:D

Although my bluetooth is much improved from the other roms I have tried it's still not as good as 1.5! 1.5 was running flawless!
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
LOL well i have just walked around the house and sure enough got some disconnects to ...like you said , not 100% but better then other roms... if i leave it on the table and sit in the same room, it works 100% no skips at all ...

well suppose i should change the title of this thread to 50% maybe 70% better then other ROMs ....

I hope this is NOT the final release for sprint, cause that will suck ....

PS... i have NOT recived one FC at all when using the BT ..the other roms i did every 5 min
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
just wanted to ask what it is that cause problems with b/t on the other roms. I use b/t on darch's rom every day for about 2 hours when I go to the gym and have never had a problem
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
what head u use?

I have a s9-HD ... BT cuts out constantly
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
Like I have always said it seems to be 50/50 across the board on 2.1 roms, some work great and some don't!

It skips and pauses atleast 5 time per minute of song in the 2.1 roms and 1.5 it runs flawless!

I don't think anyone really knows what causes the problems, I even ran a logcat while using bluetooth to see what was causing it, and each time it skipped noting came up!

rgildoss thats crazy **** on the FC's, I never had that on 2.1 roms it just did not work worth a ****!

I have to agree that if 2.1 comes out and this is still a problem I will definitely be returning the phone!
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
I am using the Samsung SBH-500 and have also tried the S9's with the same results!
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
i hear that the samsung leak has no problems at all with BT ..to bad we couldnt port the ad2p stuff over to our phones to see if it improves it
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
I wish we could do that! I do know that Darch is trying to look into what is causing the problems with BT!
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
I use rocketfish rf-mab2.... and for me it's the complete opposite... I used to had constant skips on 1.5.... not anymore though
[Hero CDMA General] rufflez2010:
I had an S9 back in the day, used to cut out when I went running with my LG Dare and the bluetooth worked flawlessly for every other device.
[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
Bluetooth is dependent on reflections. If you take any bluetooth device out into the middle of an open field, and expect it to work, you will most likely be disappointed.

This is why your bluetooth works fine when you're indoors, starts skipping when you're outdoors, then starts working again when you get into your car.

The human body is one of the best shields there is. All those nice organics and all that water, soaking up all those incredibly low-power microwaves.
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
The problems that we are having are totally unrelated to this!

For the ones that it does not work for, it just does not work, regardless of where we are!
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
Are you able to use an older RUU to flash it back to factory?
[Hero CDMA General] rgildoss:
i did try to run the old 1.5 ruu ..didnt work because this new RUU uses a new bootloader ..i havent tried anything else yet ...
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
Interesting...I wonder if you will be able to get an official Sprint OTA update when the final release is available. It is a good thing the test release seems to work or it sounds like you could brick your phone by running the .exe utility without an option to flash back to a previous factory rom.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Nope. I ran the .exe utility and now I'm back to Fresh 2.0d with the new PRI :). You can still root and reflash recovery to the phone after using the installer.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Same here. Only I'm on DC 2.06, so it's confirmed it works on both ROM versions ;)
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
I guess I don't understand how to manually push flash_image to /system/bin
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Open a windows command window.

cd to the directory you put flash_image (hopefully you put it in \android-sdk-windows\tools)

adb push flash_image /system/bin

adb shell

# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img (or whatever recovery you're using).

# reboot recovery

Done.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
*edit* smw beat me to it :D

Put flash_image into the /tools folder first.

cmd prompt >> get inside adb tools folder >>

adb remount
adb push flash_image /system/bin

The flash_image attached isn't a .zip, but I had to add that to attach it here. You can either change it back to a general file before you push it or type

adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Yeah, but you got all cool with code /code tags and attaching a zip. Sheesh. :)

But don't forget the chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image, or it just plain won't work. You'll get a 'permission denied' error.
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
First off, thank you both for helping. I was confused with the flash_image file. I'm glad you attached it because I didn't have it. However, I've done each step and it still wants to boot in the factory recovery from the RUU. I may still be messing something up, but I can't be for certain. I renamed the file name of flash_image.zip to flash_image using the rename in the command prompt. This is what my command prompt looks like after I have entered the information:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount

remount succeeded

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push flash_image /system/bin

304 KB/s (26172 bytes in 0.083s)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

# flash_image /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

flash_image /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

usage: flash_image partition file.img

# reboot recovery

reboot recovery
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
The part I've bolded is what's wrong.

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

Edit: That's my fault, I forgot it in the original post. I fixed it.
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
That's funny...I just went back to the How To Root Guide to pull that line from the last steps and it worked! Once again, thank you!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
No problem. Glad you're back up and running :)
[Hero CDMA General] qngds:
I use S9 (not HD) as well. I have to keep phone positioned closer towards my back when I'm running to keep the sound from cutting out.
[Hero CDMA General] bige3345:
Yep...I guess my problems continue though lol. I was able to restore using Nandroid, but I still have the bootloader that was updated from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test. I probably won't be able to flash back to RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release because the new bootloader is not compatible.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
If it doesn't work, try this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6013606

It's basically going to stock without using the RUU.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Nevermind, this probably won't work. Follow smw's advice above.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Or that. I did that myself from Fresh 1.1 earlier. But I'm not sure it will work. If the bootloader has changed and if the RUU doesn't agree with it, it might be a problem. The above just fixes your PRI.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
nice find.

That should work 100% :)
[HD2 General] amb9800:
The HD2's hardware (camera sensor, Snapdragon chipset, etc.) are capable of HD video recording, and other phones with almost the same hardware have it enabled (the HTC EVO 4G, for example).

Phones with lower-specced processing components, like the Samsung i8910 (ARM Cortex A8 at 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530, Symbian), support HD recording as well. Even the ARM11-powered Samsung Omnia II on WM offers better video capture (even if not HD) than the HD2.

HTC says the HD2 can only record at up to VGA resolution due to a Windows Mobile limitation. Does anyone know specifically what the problem is?
[HD2 General] Knucklessg1:
I would love to hear the answer to this also, subscribing.
[HD2 General] amb9800:
For what it's worth, I got another useless reply back from HTC after a few weeks (as expected):

I'd be curious to see if 720p recording can be enabled when Android is fully ported over to the HD2. The hardware seems capable and the EVO 4G supports it with nearly identical components (it does have the 8MP camera that the HD2 was originally slated to get, but even the HD2's 5MP sensor should be able to capture 720p I believe).

Here's a simple clean-up script attached to remove what I consider to be useless applications. I've copied the script into this thread so you can see what it will remove before you run it. If there's anything you want to keep just right click the batch file, select EDIT, then remove the line deleting the program you want to keep.

I just threw this together this morning so it might have some errors. If you find anything that needs to be corrected please post here or PM me and I'll get to it as soon as I can.
[Hero CDMA General] cyanfrost:
is there a way around the htc sync / sdk conflict?
[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
I've never been able to get them to play nice on the same PC. If you're planning on sticking with Android phones for a while keep the SDK on your PC and instead of using the HTC Sync application use Missing Sync.
[Hero CDMA General] chrisaln:
Nevermind, I figured out the answers to my questions on my own.
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
Thanks for the guide. This worked perfectly. ACS wireless here. Use the attatched PRL and you can skip the qpst backup step. This should in theory work for converting a gci hero to acs, but i have not tested that.

UPDATED: Now attached is the official radio update from the ACS RUU that dropped today. Version is 2.42.01.04.23
[Hero CDMA General] d-shade:
Got it to work on my hero on GCI/AK Digitel.

I ran into a couple of problems but I was able to get around it.

The first problem I ran into was hercimg.zip wouldn't install. It installed initially and updated my hboot and radio but it would just go back to the hboot menu every time it would extract and check. I finally got it to install after removing my battery during the green htc logo then going into hboot. I tried re-creating the gold card and formatting my sdcard but I couldn't get it to work until the battery got pulled on the htc logo which I did on accident.

The second problem I had was when I was installing the custom recovery image. I tried both methods in the tutorial but it wouldn't work in the end I had to follow the How-To repair your bootloader after using the 2.1 RUU tutorial at androidcentral and it work out great

But now I am rooted and running fresh 2.1.1 so everything is great!!!

Thanks for the tutorial!!!
[Hero CDMA General] webfeind:
Thanks

Thanks for all the hard work on this, but it would be nice if you posted document files that do not require office 2007 or better as I do not have it or want it. Plain old text works great and is quite cross platform and document viewer compatible.
[Hero CDMA General] hexskrew:
Damn! Wish this was here before I rooted a month ago! lol.
[Hero CDMA General] lohp75:
Thank you very much for the work you put into this awesome post!!! After reading it over and over I am ROOT!!!!! I really want to thank YOU, ipfreelytech, and d-shade for the help you guys gave me. Now I'm off to flash!

Thanks guys!!!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA General] SiL3nTKiLL:
was looking for this tutorial, thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
These can be opened in pages on a mac, or in openoffice on linux or windows. you could also download a viewer. Seems like a really stupid complaint as he put A LOT of effort into this and you can't download a viewer?
[Hero CDMA General] jptechnical:
I wish I found this before giving up a week ago!
[Hero CDMA General] Masta Of Evil:
sorry for being a noob but if i rooted a long time ago using a sprint ruu (i think it was like 1.5 something) (also im on cellular south) and have successfully been rooted for awhile can i update to 2.1 by following this guide?
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
if you already have root, just flash a 2.1 rom from your recovery console. I'd reccommend flashing a newer recovery image if you haven't done so. but there is no reason to go through all this BS if you have root. to get updated baseband you can flash my radio update i pulled from the ACG RUU or you can flash the signed sprint radio update thats floating around here.
[Hero CDMA General] bicione:
A very important step is missing here....Backup before installing the new ROM (as the phones comes from your company)... specially since this post is targeted to Non-Sprint CDMA and there is no way to RUU back to Non-Sprint; no RUU available, right?
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
I don't understand what your saying here. you CANNOT backup the stock 1.5 rom, there is simply no way. you can use mybackup to backup system settings and apps on a non rooted phone.

Now that there are 2.1 ruu for non sprint carriers; if for some reason you wanted to take it back to stock and screw yourself out of root for as long as you have the phone you can just flash the RUU from your carrier. The ACG ruu is many versions newer than the sprint ruu so overwrite is not a problem. once again i don't know why anyone would do this.
[Hero CDMA General] bicione:
Thanks for pointing out that in no way you can return back. Non-Sprint Heros users using those ROMs that are all over here, suffer from lack of voicemail notifications.

If your Non-Sprint company has no RUU, THEN DO NOT ROOT your phone if you want to keep voicemail notifications. No backup possible, point of no return! Good advice? ...or Non-Sprint Heros can get voicemail notifications in particular ROM? ...or using an app?

Answering your question about why would you want to go back... To get back your voicemail notifications... or otherwise, keep calling your voicemail, lest say, every 30 minutes.. just to know if you have voicemail. :p
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
voice-mail notification is only broken on roms that are based of the sprint RUU. the zen (tmobile mytouch 3gslide port) has working voice mail notification. as do the AOSP based roms such as buufed.

you cannot get a voicemail without a missed call unless your phone is off. so you only would need to check after a missed call.

at one point i was trying to make a rom from the 2.1 update that was used by a bunch of carriers including mine, nothing special just add superuser, but it didn't go well and haven't figured out what went wrong, and lost interest because I started using buufed. The rom booted but didn't have a proper version in the about software. also the mobile radio didn't work nor did wifi.
[Hero CDMA General] bicione:
Thanks for the info.

You can also get VMs if you get temporary signal loss and sometimes phones dint' tell you about a missed call; elevators, moving on your car / traveling.... it happens some times. And well, I want to check a VM only if a have one.

Since I use my phone as a working tool (I am a consultant), honeslty I can't affor to miss VMs notifications. My response could be time-sensitive.

.... but what you mention, AOSP stuff, is interesting... on another post, someone suggest 2.2 AOSP.... any good one for the Hero, 2.1 or 2.2? Neither VM nor Data while roaming issues? No issues with PRI, radio, etc.?
[Hero CDMA General] fbomb5000:
Took me the better part of two days but I finally was able to root and flash using your tutorial, most of my issues were my own errors but a million searches later and thorough reading got it done! Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA General] ahnuts72:
Ok i was gonna root and use one of the other 2.1 rom but heard that cs was about to release their 2.1 so decided to wait for it.

Rooted everything worked great but i wanted to backup my prl now just in case i wanted to try another rom built off of the sprint release or try 2.2 when its working better.

I cant get qpst to run everytime i try to open qpst config it gives me a cant find qpst server error and then the program closes.

Ive googled my self to death trying to find an answer.

Im using win7 ultimate x64

all phone drivers are installed along with sync

used to mod my razr quite a bit

pretty new at this android stuff though.
[Hero CDMA General] jptechnical:
Sorry to reply to an old post, but I had a question and a comment on this thread.

I flashed cyanogenmod 6 rc1 nightly 9-13. All seems to work great, so glad to get rid of the Sense UI junk.

My question is that my phone now says sprint, which is not surprising since it is a sprint based rom, do I need to reinstall the ACS PRL? I have downloaded it (THANKS FOR POSTING IT!!! I wish more would do that kind of thing) and when I dial ##775# it just hangs up.

At the moment, I can call, be called, get and send sms, internet works (I am sending on it now with the wifi tether, which is a thing of beauty). What am I missing out on if I don't change the prl?

Thanks,

JP
[Hero CDMA General] jptechnical:
And I apologize for replying to my own reply... my prl is the same as my wife's. So, no update is necessary. I guess CM6 didn't modify this... so I just won't worry about it.

Thanks.

JP
[Hero CDMA General] JR2_Alaska:
There is a patch over on cyanogenmod forums to make the Sprint go away and make ACS appear. I belive it really just changes the graphics.. but if it makes you feel better its there.
[Desire General] A|ex:
Seem to have a bizzare issue, my ringtone sound which is set on max is still quiet and there is no way i would hear it if i was outside, does anyone else have this issue?
[Desire General] patasenko:
Yes! Please search the forum you will get some topics about this exact issue
[Desire General] zonkkk:
Yes I've missed 2 calls today because of that... it was in my pocket. (vibration was off though)

The good thing is you don't keep it in your pocket too much, 'couse it's an awesome phone... :p
[Desire General] malmosyd:
"Awesome phone".... and u missed 2 calls because u couldnt hear it....:eek:

I have it on order but i must say this loudspeaker issue start to worrie me ...
[Desire General] irkan:
it seems that T-Mobile versions have some volume issues :confused:, ... there is some thread concerning that, ...many say that the generic phones volume is just fine ... people who reported that their volume is low here yours is T-Mobile right? not generic ROM?
[Desire General] zonkkk:
The reason I am not worried is because I was out that day with lots of people around and there was lots of noise and vibration off. This happened to me often with my Nokia 6500 slide and my other phones as well. So that's why I am not worried.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Volume seems fine with me - if in a loud place then obviously you'll struggle to hear it in your pocket but that's when vibrate comes into play. SMS tone woke me up this morning so does the job for me
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
Gotta agree, im on t-mobile and mine seems really loud. So much so I had to change the default text to something quieter as i found it too loud. lol
[Desire General] A|ex:
I am on neither so going to send it back and get a replacement as i have two HTC Desire both configured the same, same software/firmware and i have tried both factory reset. All other functions seem to work fine on it.
