I got the same JVC stereo, how can I unlock for multizone DVD? Thank!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
If i understand it correctly that you mean, you want to unlock the dvd region limitation.

I didn't unlocked it, but the main problem, that the unlock lock status is came from the dvd FW, which is not possible to reach it, via this unit. I searched for the web, and JVC also, for some FW update. There isn't any. So from my side i say it's not possible in easy way.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
I have tested this solution and since half year aho its working fine under -20 to +50 so it is a solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
Compatibility

Also tested with FT2232H

This soultion is working , only bug that because of the dual uart the windows device pop up a notification for the second uart driver.

Also working.

Not working with Moxa chip.

Not working with Prolific PL-2303. ( Because the driver for the chip is not going to get open com port in wince 5 :S )

It seems that the only solution is the FTDI chip.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
I've made a test with bluepanter and Wayteq and a very old Blaupunkt.

Solution is worked when I changed the usb mode to Host in wince.

It's seems for the blepanter and the wayteq it make not so much sense bacuse you could buy their original accessories. :(

For the blaupunkt is okay.

Also this could be okay for the 1-2 din chinese gps. Needs to be tested.

Reception improving

I had issue with the tmc reception.

So the solution is make a fm Y cable, and share the outdoor antenna to the head unit and to the tmc receiver.

After the installation, I realised that the reception was not so good, because I miss calculated with the phantom power to my roof antenna, after the phantom power installation everything went fine.

I got reception where I never had it before. TMC news downloading time improved as well.

Take care with the phantom power because it could kill the TMC receiver, use only one way adapter !

hi,

many many thanks for you thread...i had some questions...

i have bought an Dynavin DVN-MC2000 and this unit is without TMC but it have an GPS-In Mother-Usb cable...i think this goes directly to the wince5.0 system.

Where did you buy your RT-3000 and do you have the complete name of the FTDI Modul?!

Maybe we can develop a solution together i could make fotos from my open DVN-MC2000 if it helps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
Maybe a ohoto would be great.

I bought the tmc unit in hungary in an avarage shop.

About ftdi i had one in my work desk. But it doesnt matter the meaing is it should any type which is supporting from the wince ftdi driver side. See ftdi web.

Hello all!!

I've been reading the post and I have to congratulate you, very interesting!

If you do not mind I'll use this thread because I want to ask you a question, I haven´t found any response in any expert forum.

I have a problem with my car radio. It is a chenese radio with GPS and TMC integrated.

From the beginning the TMC worked correctly but It had problems with the GPS. It didn´t work properly (may be the driver was wrong or it was bad installed on the WIN CE5). The provider din´t give me a solution and I found a forum in France. There someone sent me an European WIN CE 5 ROM with the GPS installed a working properly. The problem is that this guy didnt have any ROM with the TMC driver integrated and now I dont have it installed.

My actual state is: WIN CE + GPS HW (installed and working) + TMC HW (not insalled)

My question is:

How could I install the TMC in my radio WIN CE5? The HW exists but my WIN CE 5 does not have the drivers and of course the IGO can not find it.

Thank you very much!

pd: sorry about my english!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
From the first i need to know what kind of tmc chip do you have. Royaltek/GNS and after that we can get closer to the problem. Qhit the upper sokution you can put in the driver if we will figure out the chip manufacturel.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmike1980:
I am sure that the integrated chip is GNS tipe.

The only thing that can hapen if we install a wrong driver is that it would not work, wouldnt it?

But the other things would work good...

thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guika:
Generally yes.

But first. You will need to do some test. I will post it later. Because right now in this days i have a lot to do. I wont forget your problem so i will post it here what to check first to start your problem solving....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmike1980:
I will check it.

Anyway I think that I need the driver for TMC receiver. I have the HW but it is not installed. Do you know were could I find TMC drivers for Win CE 5? with them the problem would be solved-install and the IGO would take it automatically (I had it installed the first time, but the GPS didnt work).
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
I ask because different roms and kernels offer different benefits. Some allow you to overclock. Some allow you to get high Mflops running Linpack.

Mflops is a measure of how fast calculations are being performed (forgive my butchered definition). Mhz is how fast info is being processed. Which is king?

For example, I can underclock my processor to save battery life, but am using a ROM that generates high Mflops in Linpack. OR, I could overclock my processor for performance on a ROM that does not generate high Mflops.

Which would be faster?

My next question is: Do Mflops really matter? From Wikipedia:

If once a certain Mflop is reached the calculation seems "instantaneous," then who cares if they are higher than instantaneous? Will we ever really "perceive" the benefit of 50Mflops on our phones?

Anybody that can shed some light on this for me? It would be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
For every-day use, you will notice a much larger impact with the higher clock speed.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
What other use is there? Do you mean that processor speed is more important for speeding up the UI?
[EVO 4G General] danoftw:
I would like to see an intelligent answer to this question with data or at least a solid theory to support it.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
i may not be able to provide you with an engineers answer

but imma say... the one that sucks up less battery and provides fast calculations is the winner. so a 500mhz proc running higher flops would be my best decision

heck, i dunno.
[EVO 4G General] equinox654:
That increase in mflops is from jit compiling java apps. The core os and browser are already native as are 3d games. They might speed up some from less java overhead.
[EVO 4G General] lordrainkm:
MHz is not a measurement of "how fast info is processed", it is the clock speed of the processor. All it signifies is the rate at which the processor performs its operations. 1,000 MHz means the CPU has 1,000,000,000 cycles per second. Some operations will take one cycle to perform, other operations will take several cycles. Most software, unless it is exceptionally well written (in assembly language, which I don't believe can be executed on android) will require millions of CPU operations to perform whatever task it is trying to perform.

Increasing your clock speed while keeping all other things equal will increase all of your computing power and should give a useful gain in performance.

Linpack measures numeric floating point calculations. This is one of many types of tasks that a CPU must perform. Linpack is not an overall measurement of system performance, it's a measure of pure numeric (floating point) processing power. I have no idea how some roms manage to improve Linpack that dramatically, and you'd need to know that in order to truely answer your question. It seems likely to me that it's just a floating point optimization method that gives the higher scores, in this case floating point operations are the only things that would be improved.

The simple answer is that it depends what you want to do with your phone. If you do something with a lot of floating point calculation (3d games are an example, but they would typically use 3d hardware acceleration rather than cpu power, I'm not sure exactly how the snapdragon is designed so I'm not sure that they are not one and the same), you would get more performance out of the system with the higher linpack score. The higher clock speed on the other hand would provide you more overall benefit, it would make everything faster instead of just one area.
[EVO 4G General] c0t0d0s2:
mhz doesn't necessarily mean speed. It's a easy, barely valid way to compare speeds to like model and generation processors only.

Platform independent benchmarks are much more important and reliable for judging speed. Therefore, a 500mhz processor that performs 20mflops is faster (at least in floating point operations) than a 1000mhz processor that performs 10 mflops.

Also realize, floating point operations per second are only one small part of a computer's performance. There's Specviewperf for Graphics performance, for instance, or general performance benchmarks like the whetstone or dhrystone.
[EVO 4G General] jasecloud4:
Lets me see if I can shed some light:

In a basic processor you have 4 general tasks performed: Fetching, Decoding, Execution, and Writeback.

Processor clock rate (despite what people think) is not indicative of speed. It is an indicator of the number of wave cycles per second. Depending on the amount of work per cycle that a processor can do, then determines the "speed" of a processor. For instance an Intel 3ghz processor may be able to execute 100 integer calculations per cycle for a total of 300 billion calculations per second; but an AMD 3ghz processor could be able to do 200 integer calculations per second effectively making it the more efficient and "faster" processor.

A perfect example of this is the Hummingbird vs Snapdragon debate. Two processors at the same speed, yet Samsung claims the Hummingbird is faster due to the higher amount of work per cycle that can be executed.

The next step in the chain then comes when determining the types of calculations performed. An AMD processor may work better with a customized Linux based system that uses a higher level of floating point calculations, while an Intel processor may be better suited to a Windows system that uses a high level non-floating integers.

The next question is this: does your phone, a Linux based system use a high enough level Floating Point operations to make a difference in overall performance?

Google apparently does. However, Floating Point operations are simply a generic benchmark of a single facet of the operating system as a whole. Less wave cycles per second will decrease the overall potential of work, thereby decreasing performance in cases where the work needed to be executed exceeds the number of available waves.

Therefore, I would vote for the higher processor speeds, unless the only programs you execute use Floating Points.

Scientific enough?

Feel free to PM me with questions, or post here...

There are other factors that greatly affect processors as well, such as latency, BUS speed, and RAM available for buffering, but I didn't want to do an information overload.

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Sorry, I was assuming we were talking about the same processor (namely, the EVO's) clocked at two different speeds. It would make sense that the slower clock speed vielded more Mflops if it had JIT enabled, but I still think you would find the UI snappier with a higher-clocked ROM without JIT.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
I notice a greater speed improvement from jit more than a faster processor speed. Especially with apps that have to load your whole system like autostarts. Battery life however, I'm still learning about. With Damage and being OC'd battery life was great. I'm currently on the latest CM nightly with jit and setcpu. We'll see how that compares.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Quick off-topic question, then we'll get back on topic. Does the CyanogenMod build have the FPS broken?
[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
lol you say that as if you dont actually know it...

deep inside we both know it though... :D

but seriously, both of biles' post on P1 sum up the question from the OP. Trust us
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I'm a computer engineer, so I at least like to assume that I know what I'm talking about...
[EVO 4G General] jasecloud4:
This thread is comparing Apples to Oranges. If the number of waves per second on a processor is increased, then the number of floating point calculations will increase, if every other factor remains the same.

It stands to reason that when two systems, one at 500MC/psec is pitted against another at 1000MC/psec with both systems running the same OS and JIT enabled, the one running at 1000MC/psec will have a higher number of floating points calculated.

~Jasecloud4
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
True, but I don't think we're talking about identical ROMS, since different ROMS have different abilities to OC and/or run JIT.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
Running the nightly CM Froyo ROM right now and Autostarts is also the only app I have perceived to have a significant speed improvement from JIT. It really is the 2-5x faster that Google claimed JIT would be, but I've yet to see any other apps that benefit as much as Autostarts. Everything else seems the same as a non-JIT 2.1 ROM.

Haven't tried any games since getting the phone though, so can't give any feedback on those.

I think another poster in the CM Nightly rom thread compared his browser to his brothers 2.1 ROM phone, and the browsers were just about the same speed wise as well.

Given that feedback, I'd say for general usage a higher clock speed is better than lower clock speed and higher Mflops.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
How has this thread gotten so long without the word "frequency" mentioned once? You guys are making this way too difficult. In 1 GHz, the Hz is the unit for frequency, which just means cycles per second. If you want a simple analogy, imagine a hamster running. His legs are moving up and down and forward at a certain frequency. You're running, too. Let's say that you are running at the same frequency. Who is getting somewhere quicker? Obviously you are because your legs are longer and stronger and you have a better power to weight ratio. Processors can behave the same way. Some simply get more done than others when operating at the same frequency for various reasons. This is why looking at only frequency is useless. Instead, we look at the work that it can do. Flops (floating point operations per second) is one measure of the work that a processor can do. There are many other ways to measure performance. This is just one of them.

Why do we want faster processors? It is partially so that we can be faster, but mostly so that we can do more. If you were to run the OS from phones 10 years ago on the hardware of today, most operations would be essentially instantaneous and with smart power saving features, you wouldn't need to charge it but once a week or less. But today's phones do far more. We need those higher speeds because even when you're sitting there looking at the home screen and "not doing anything", the OS is running dozens of services in the background to keep everything working correctly. Imagine if we were to take a modern engine and put it in an econo car from 30 years ago. It would go like hell and be incredibly efficient but it wouldn't have the safety, comfort, or features that we've come to expect with a modern automobile.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Yes. I avg 50-55 fps.
[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
um yea, but have you ever OC a video card for example?

lets take my old nVidia 8800gtx...

just because I overclock my core speeds doesnt mean that my memory bus will also be up'd, (of course the option is there but for the sake of the thread we'll ignore that)

Sure, now itll be able to process things much faster, but it cannot render as quickly as its ciphering, buffering, processing... etc...

like biles said, up the CPU for snappier user interfacing, up the flops for lets say, vb compiling :-p...

im not at my most sober points right now, so if you cant comprehend what im saying, think of the 'core' speed as the CPU, and the 'bus' speed as mFLOPS ...

and well gaming and rendering effects can see an improvement through JIT, but only if the said app or whatnot was built with JIT. otherwise it would be like upscaling a standard DVD to 720p. and seeing as how 3d rendering is after all native, how much more gfx tweaks do we need?
[EVO 4G General] pongoface:
OK my 2 cents lol. I have the oppurtunity to pit a stock evo(my wife's) vs my rooted Fresh 1.0.1, Samdroid Frozen Eclair with jit, Netarchy 3.7.2b, and setcpu.

The test- Stock 998mhz Evo vs My Evo setcpu set at 245- 537mhz on demand

Mflops- Stock 5.1 My Evo 10.2

Quandrant - Stock 419 My Evo 462

NenaMark - Stock 10.2fps My Evo 11.8fps

Neocore- Stock 24.6 My Evo 25.3

Until Froyo is out this is my everyday driver(Daily Driver meaning full phone functionality 4g, voicemail, everything) is set as above with setcpu @245mhz - 537mhz on demand. I do this to lessen battery drain. For me it has been the best performance/conservation setup to date on this site. Everything runs smoothly from hd videos converted with handbrake to internet surfing. For me experiencing no tearing and still getting 54fps although less cpu gives a higher stdev. If I need more power I run 998mhz or overclock to 1125mhz.

Scores @ 1152mhz

Mflops 21.27

Quandrant 863

Nenamark 15.6

Neocore 27.5

Thanks for reading
[EVO 4G General] :
Clock rate/frequency does not equate to speed. ;P

However, I don't disagree with your statement, what I disagree with is the fact that this thread is pointless. JIT is a software based system of improvement, while clock shifting is a method of hardware improvement. Both can go hand in hand, and to be the most effective both should be used together.

If a slower processor can process more Mflops over a faster processor, then the question becomes whether the function of the device is one in which Mflops are entirely essential over other system functions. If you don't use very many floating point calculations, then the higher Mflops calculating processor is useless to you.

Some functions in Android will see improvement from JIT, but regular tasks would really see a greater benefit from an improved clock speed, provided that the clock speed does not exceed the rate at which the BUS and memory can handle data.

Just my two cents.

[Advantage X7510 General] emde18:
hi

I bought AMEO 16GB on eBay (UK). It's sim-locked to T-Mobile (it's asking for unlock code when o2 card instered)

I tried to use AthenaUnlocker to get it unlocked, but it didnt work.

Details:

Step1 (flash SPL), Ameo would go into Bootloader mode, but it freezes and I'm getting CONNECTION ERROR

I decided to skip step1 and launched SSPL-Manual-x7510.

I started step 2 (UNLOCK RADIO) and upgrade went up to 7% but then I got INVALID MODEL ID error

I flashed my device with x7510_HSPL365 and changed rom to WM6.5.3-28205_x7510_1.2_BETA_VICO, but it didnt make any difference...

Additionally now device isnt asking for unlock code, it's just showing NO SERVICE

please advise
