Can anyone suggest the best combination of player and video file compressing application to crunch video files down to phone size for the HTC Desire?
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Since the desire is running on snapdragon and coupled with this rock player (or "Demo Player", you should be able to play 1280*720 videos without any issues. But if you want to have a smaller video file, use any video conversion application to compress it to a smaller resolution, say 800*400? (e.g. of an app will be WinAVI mp4 converter. worth every penny since i'm using it for my psp, ipodtouch, android. good conversion speed too)
[Android Apps and Games] Greell:
could someone upload the apk file? I can't find this app anywhere =(
[Android Apps and Games] bast525:
You sir, are my hero....

I came from Winmo and missed Coreplayer dearly for all my .avi, .flv, and .3gp needs.... I did not have the patience to convert over a hundred videos, but now they play fine in this player. And the Coreplayer team says they can't put Core out for Android without a new kernel or something I don't remember what but it sounded like a bogus excuse :P
[Android Apps and Games] doalittledanse:
this app works great. does anyone know where it came from? everywhere i search is just megaupload/rapidshare/etc. links. it would be nice to keep track for updates
[Android Apps and Games] cosmicharade:
How much is it? I think I'll get it if it is good like you say. How big are files on average for a movie or TV episode? Quality ok?
[Android Apps and Games] opensky2:
It is exactly the RockPlayer leaked just a few days ago with a modified icon. It looks like somebody got this leaked version and changed the icon, then put it on internet. As one developer of RockPlayer, I strongly condemn this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] deviouscreation:
This plays .avi files almost perfectly, but it has trouble with .ogg and mkv. Ogg files drop and shutter in framerate. Mkv couldn't process audio.

Quality is about >90% of original file. Size wise, at the same resolution but lowered bitrate, approximately 4-6mb per minute depending on the bitrate and settings. Its $29.95 by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] dsh897:
thankyou soo much been looking for something like this!
[Android Apps and Games] skimminstones:
29.95 is a ridiculous price for a mobile app.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
It's a PC app. Read properly before commenting.

I recently picked this apk but when I put some files in MKV and

RMVB and MP4 happened a few problems, first came the MKV without audio and

then the audio turned up late, it was the same RMVB and MP4 audio came

first, the problem is the phone or have to convert the files to

pick up correctly?

if you have any problem to understand my English was the translator of google. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Shoulon:
Try a reboot or making sure you have pleanty of ram. MP4 worked perfect for me. (all my Video files are MP4, except anime which I haven't tried,MKV.)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:

Not an easy change.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] [lx]-DdBl:

a few months ago there was a thread how to sim-unlock the elfin via overwriting a dll (i'm not shure if it was a dll) in the windows folder.

the new way doesn't really work because i can't get my sim out of the elfin and the generated code doesn't work...

does anybody please could send me the dll???

its a little bit urgent because it's the only mobile of my friend and he needs it...

[Desire General] gr0gmint:
Hi,

I've applied Sven Killig's patches to a 2.6.32 kernel similiar to DeFroST 0.9b with no-echo patches.

Kernel update attached. I didn't do anything, please thank Sven Killig for his awesome work.

r2: Some often used USB modules included. (USB storage built-in)

r3: Modules are loading now

r4: Fix for error -14 included

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK

GUIDE, IF YOU WANNA TRY IT OUT:

1. Flash kernel

2. Go into Terminal emulator and write the following:

insmod /system/lib/modules/usbcore.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/ehci-hcd.ko

3. Load any other modules you want, ie. usb-storage.ko

To "un host", just flash the kernel from DeFRoST 0.9b
[Desire General] Homer314:
Great Job !
[Desire General] 77flem:
Which devices can we connect at the moment ?
[Desire General] MightySashiman:

[Desire General] uipe:
Thanks m8 I recieved the OTG cable yesterday so I will try to test this tonight ;)
[Desire General] deovferreira:
Don't forget that you need external power, from a powered hub for example.

Also, the phone will not work in usb-slave mode with these patches.

Good luck and post back results :)
[Desire General] totzkotz:
hm do you have create kernel modules or are the patches integrated in the kernel image itself?

with modules we simply are able to write a script or an app for switching from host mode to slave and back aren't we?
[Desire General] gr0gmint:
I forgot to include support for some basic USB functions; storage and so on. Thanks for reminding me. I will compile them as modules to begin with
[Desire General] rexmundo:
nice ;)

Hi

I ordered my cable as soon as I saw Sven's vid last week and it arrived, just on time this morning.

I would however appreciate a brief how to..

I can understand up to the patching bit... I have the dual power USB cable and I am going to grab a self powered hub tomorrow. What I am not sure about is how to mount stuff onto android.

Is it like the usual linux mount commants? Will something like estrong file mananger pick up the new partition and show it (for USB stick).

Anyone tried a mouse? Keyboard?

cheers

[Desire General] Homer314:
Phones need external power also to connect, for example, an external 3.5 drive ? (with ac adapter)

[Desire General] JDouce:
any chance of un host patch
[Desire General] uipe:
I am trying to test this but I havent been able to use adb wifi so that i dont have to write all the commands in the desire console :S any tip ?

the only module i tried to load was "insmod drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko" and it said it couldnt find it (i am followying sven guide)
[Desire General] gr0gmint:
You can use ConsoleBot, if it comes to it. But i am very sure i included usbcore as a part of the kernel, instead of as a module. And also, the modules are installed in /system/lib/modules, not "drivers/usb*etc" ..

I hope it works :o Good luck
[Desire General] JDouce:
is there any posibility of mode switching?

would simply reflashing the non host kernel remove host moda and put back to slave mode?

if it can its not too inconveniant but requires a reboot every time you want to change mode...

using rom manager u can quickly apply the update.zip's tho
[Desire General] uipe:
Oki here is what I am doing

I had the desire with DeFrost 0.9b, then when to fake-flash recovery and aplayed your kernel.

I have the OTG cable connected to a self powered usb hub and tried connecting bought a mouse and a pen but non of them were detected in dmesg.

The good and/or strange part is that I haven't lost the adb or usb mass storage mode of the phone.
[Desire General] MrAdamH:
Same problem here... got the cable today.

Nothing happens in dmesg...
[Desire General] gr0gmint:
I'll look into it, hold on. I may have configured the kernel wrong.

EDIT: At the moment it will require a reflash of the kernel everytime you need hostmode. Updating kernel in a moment :( I'm looking into writing OTG support for the device, so switching between slave/host mode is automatic or easy at least.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
hey i read the guide but i didn't figure out how to install the kernel....can anyone please post a guide or some instructions please????
[Desire General] gr0gmint:
Please wait till it's fully functional, then i'll write a guide.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
since i have the MCR3.1 what kernel should i flash after this to un host ???? or it must be 2.2 ???
[Desire General] Mastaxlokks:
Mmh.. I'm afraid, I can't help you with your problem. i'm only using the patch for the Desire, and there it works.

Since I'm not familiar with what the patch actually does in detail I'm no help. You could hope that there is somebody else around, who knows the details, or try contacting sven (who wrote the patch) directly.

DSLR Controller!

Confirmed working HTC Desire & DSLR Controller :) Working 100%! Cyanogen 7.2.0.1 (pathed kernel) no Wifi, for the rest do not know, primary use of the phone is DSLR Controller ;)

canon 550D (t2i) + DSLR Controller 0.98.3 (HTC Desire + USB OTG + external power supply) works like a champ! :highfive: (should work on other Canons)

1. Flash kernel usbhost_r4.zip

2. Go into Terminal emulator and write the following:

insmod /system/lib/modules/usbcore.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/ehci-hcd.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/usb-storage.ko

Also is working on HTC HD2! (without Terminal stuff - just patching kernel Wifi works on paranoidandroid_hd2_v1.5b)
[Desire General] nitramus:
WOW

Had a lot of trouble getting this to work. Had to change a couple of small things and the steps where not always clear.

Start by reading tims blog for more details.

http://tim.mactory.com/htc-desire/

1. In recovery, flash the kernel ZIP file

2. In terminal emulator/shell, applied patch "patch -p1 < <patchfilepath>" (remove the last <> and add / and the end of the path) You have to apply patch before step 3 or else the sda1 will not be created.

3. Connect your usb storage device.

4. in shell again

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko

(Note: (uname -r) should be the something like "2.6.37-cyanogen".... What I did is used a file explorer to copy the full path with file name and just paste it in so it is faster an less chance to typing errors). I don't use scsi but for some reason the usb-storage.ko would not work unless I add the scsi.

5. Load the filesystems:

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/ntfs.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/msdos.ko

6. mount

mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/mnt

mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/mnt

(on you sd card you can name the folder as you want. If you look at the lines from tims blog there are / at the end of the lines. I had to remove them cause it would give me errors.

If you created a nand backup and you want to remove all this all you have to do is restore boot.

can some one explain why I loose the sda files when I disconnect and reconnect the usb storage......

I'm trying to get USB audio out of my Desire so I can use my phone with an external USB DAC to increase audio quality. So far I've managed to get the phone to recognise the USB DAC and to output my voice through the USB DAC using USB Audio Tester app (voice » internal Desire mic » USB DAC » amplifier » speakers).

Unfortunately that's as far as I've managed to get. Getting the operating system to route sound through the USB is where I am struggling. I think I need to enable certain kernel sound modules but I'm lost at this and they haven't been included in the kernel that I'm using that supports host mode.

I'm running CM7.2 and trying to make this work using http://tim.mactory.com/htc-desire/ and http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Desire General] gr0gmint:
You could do a nandroid backup.

Or backup your boot image like this: cat /dev/mtd/mtd2ro > /sdcard/boot.img.backup

And then to reflash the boot.img in recovery: cat /sdcard/boot.img.backup > /dev/mtd/mtd2

[Desire General] MrAdamH:
I'm just wondering... is it possible to add this to a boot script and make the phone execute the commands at boot time?
[Desire General] Daelyn:
Not the best of ideas because when you load these modules you'll loose the normal functions of the micro-USB port like removable storage/interetshare etc.

Use them when needed, unload when not needed.

It should be simple for one with experience in android coding to write widget/script so that you can toggle host USB on and off. Give it a few days at most and someone will sort it.

I'm a linux user, but never had a android, so I'm in the process of reading through all that I need to know before getting my hands dirty.

hey, i received the cable today....

firstly: i have a screen problem with the kernel..whenever i touch the screen many white lines appear randomly

i loaded the 3 modules i want (the two you say and usb-storage one) and then i try to mount the usb i attached to the cable with the command

mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb-storage

as it is described in sven's tutorial here: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

but i get mounting failed because there is no such file or directory...

some notes::::

- i am using MCR3.1

- i attached the usb directly onto the cable...not a powered hub
[Desire General] BrandonG777:
Modaco R20 didn't boot for me with this kernel. This project is awesome, hopefully it'll get swooped up into Cyanogen and have a settings option to switch back and forth.

I have a 2008 Pontiac G8 and people have been putting a USB touch screen overlay over the factory display, that has NTSC composite inputs. I'm planning the ultimate car/phone integration ;) After of course flashing the GM LAN bus so the screen will stay on over 2MPH. :mad:
[Desire General] lambrospower:
ok today i received my powered usb hub and i tried again. followed the same steps but no result.....

mobules are inserted just fine but when i try to mount the usb storage it says 'file or directory not found'.

i dunno if it's 2.1's fault but i will flash a 2.2 rom tomorrow and test it again...

did anyone had success with 2.1 ????

in addition why is there a screen line flickering with this kernel ???

You certainly have to make sure the directory /mnt/sdcard/usb-storage does exist. If it does, what does dmesg tell you?

Insmod driver was success.

Maybe my desire USB port was host,Because when I connect to PC,PC does not recognize it.(if slave,PC recognize Android phone is connected).

Update without wipe

Hi all,

just want to inform because there have been a number of questions about updating without wipe.

I did so since NextSense 1.8 to 7.0.

After that to 7.1 and now to 7.4 without any problems.

Saved me so far a lot of backup work.
