As some probably already know some video streams don't work on Desire HD rom ports (this affects all DHD roms ports ), One of them is m.spike.com. We get only audio no video

Here is the log from trying one of the videos

http://pastebin.com/9hK9cDTd

I have tried the most basic and idiotic approach, replacing all called libs with libs from standard Sense Rom. Of course didn't work.

I am not a developer myself, maybe someone with more skills can figure it out
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
its not just streaming video, mp4 at the native resolution wont work either, so if you record a video at 800x600 you cant watch it back :confused:
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
so its a mp4 decoding issue ?
[Desire Android Development] eref:
Someone tried Rockplayer?

I use Leedroid 2.2.f not any HD rom, so I have no experience, it is just an idea.
[Desire Android Development] :
RockPlayer works
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
yep rockplayer works, for all video formats, its a issue with the native android codec or codecs.
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
i tried to replace libvoH264Dec.so

libvoMPEG4Dec.so

libvoVidDec.so

libvomemedia.so

with standard desire lib files but it makes no diffrence :confused: obviously i know theres more lib files associated with the video decoders but i just wanted to see wether i could get mp4 or 3gp working
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
I am using robis hd rom and rock player does not work for me.

The rom i am using is excellent, fast and stable for me(v14b with d2sd) and everything is working great for me apart from the 720p recording and the sound but no video on various streams. I can live without the former but a solution for the latter would make a great rom perfect for me.

Please try to keep this thread going so we can hopefully get some developers involved and hopefully reach a solution.

I am just a noob i'm afraid so can't be much help!!
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
rockplayer (premium) works fine for me, it uses its own codecs tho not the native android ones
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
I've always had an issue with rockplayer being out of sync.

I have an MP4 i did of the mrs when she appeared briefly on question time. (about 20 seconds).

always worked fine on stock roms players but rockplayer it's always oos.

Would be great if devs could sort this for HD roms internal player.
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
Sorry if i am not understanding but, if i install rock player premium, will i be able to use it to automatically watch videos streamed from spb tv and my player?

I amm having problems using these two applications and m.tvcatchup however bbc iplayer mobile streams work as do you tube application streams.
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
no you cant use rockplayer to strem from websites, flash works fine though i was watching bbc one on bbc iplayer last night.... i miss coreplayer from windows mobile, you could use that and tcpmp as a streaming video players
[Desire Android Development] lagaba:
I've got rockplayer installed but it doesn't show up as an option to view the file when clicking on a streaming video link - i.e you can only watch a video with rockplayer if you open it using the file browser built into rockplayer...
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
please don't make this a discussion about rockplayer!
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
+1

Sorry just needed to clarify.

We need developers to help us here. I mentioned this three times on robis sense HD thread but only seemed to get passing interest.

This is important to me!
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
maybe you should pm ownhere, i know he had some ideas on solving the video problem,
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
It was not passing intrest man, i am trying to find a solution for that since some time ago... not so easy, when dont know what to search for... :/

It is important to me too ;)
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Just an idea: did anyone try the codec from Gingerbread?
[Desire Android Development] woody_2k:
ooooooooooooo i like that idea but at the mo its only SDK. It will probably get resolved in a few weeks when the rom dumps of the Nexus S comes through
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Probably the source will come too, I mostly meant building them from source, not copying
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
My sincere appologies.

All your work here is very much appreciated.

Have any news about streaming?
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
Some progress:

Desire:QSD8x50, NOT support Overlay

DHD:MSM7x30, support Overlay

DHD port libvomemedia.so try to render streaming video using Overlay, so no video.

two way to resolve it:

1.hack libvomemedia.so to disable overlay.

2.hack system to replace libvomemedia.so with stock Desire.
[Desire Android Development] n33dy:

if anyone gets this working please post a step by step procedure for the rest of us... i can't get it working on my mdy desire hd rom 4.6
[Desire Android Development] lagaba:
You should be able to just flash the zip in the thread you linked to.. or have you already tried that?
[Desire Android Development] n33dy:
dont know how to flash it...
[Desire Android Development] lagaba:
Boot to recovery, go to install zip from sdcard, navigate to where you downloaded the file and then flash it...
[Desire Android Development] n33dy:
Done it! Just pasted the system lib and etc files into the root folders... working now woohoo!

If I hold the top of the phone down, I can see a gap between the screen and the glass. Anyone else have this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Can you take a picture? I'm not sure how you can see under the glass? If your talking about looking "through" the glass then yes there is a small gap.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0olove:
I noticed this with my phone as well. However, it was not something that I did not think of checking until I read this post and tried it. I do not think that pushing the top part of my phone down is something that I am going to be doing a whole lot, if at all.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
I'm experiencing very slow screen rotation when I re-orientate my Tab, especially on my main home screen.I have two widgets and a bunch of icon on there, and if I turn my Tab 90° it takes around 3-4 seconds to react, then I get a black screen for another second or two, then the icons re-appear, then another second later, the widgets.

I get the impression that the rotation is quicker on a homescreen with no widgets but full of icons, but it's still rather slow.

The original launcher also isn't really amazingly fast on rotation, but it's a good deal faster than adw. In the (native) browser, screen rotation is almost instantaneous, btw.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to speed up the rotation on the homescreen? It's annoying like this, because the Tab is often in landscape orientation when I take it out of my coat pocket, then I have to wait several seconds before it'll react to anything.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
Is it using alot of cpu in taskmgr?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Not really. It's using quite a bit of RAM (~24MB) but only about 0.9% CPU.

Btw, here's a short video to illustrate what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjpum75xpZk

(Sorry for the bad quality, shot with my trusty old G1 - btw, I'm rotating Portrait -> Landscape in the Video, but the video is rotated 90°)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] plasmathrower:
I'm currently using adw.launcher and my rotation is perfectly fine with lcd density changes and widgets stretched and multiples on single screens.

It's odd that yours is so very slow. Did you root it and do the lag fix? Or do you have a scrolling widget active and have it forcing draw on orientation? Maybe use ti backup and check your running processes.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
funny, I tested 2 widgets yesterday (1 clock + 1 bat) and i notice rotating screen would be sluggish, so i checked ADW cpu usage was jumping around 50-80%

i ended up removing both widgets, and have not experienced it again..

And if u go thru the adw-settings and turn off all the eyecandy and restart what happens then?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Rooted yes (z4root) but no lag fix...which one would you recommend?

Also, I just notice that it gets quite a bit quicker when I use one of the stock wallpapers instead of my own 1200x1024 image. Looking into that now.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
Have u tried switching back to stock launcher to compare if the same issue apears, or ex. Zeam launcher?

i recommend no lagfix...never testet it.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Ok, so the wallpaper seems to be the main culprit. When using a stock wallpaper, both adw and the stock launcher perform about equally. I've also applied the OCLF, but don't notice any difference.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
Did u notice the dpi for your custom background, maybe scale it down to 72dpi if its higher..

those who tested the lagfix on the tab did not notice anything either, but higher bench scores..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
There is often a considerable amount of lag when switching from portrait (my main use) to landscape (mostly used for reading PDF or EPUB text, and sometimes for web-browsing). Clearly the refresh of shortcut icons and widgets appears to be the culprit, it doesn't seem related to background rendering. I tried various combinations of graphical settings, to no avail. I am running 200 LCD density, but I had the same problem with the original value (240).

Note: I use ADW.Launcher mainly because of the "categories/groups" feature, which makes it a *lot* easier to organize my 200+ applications. The other features are pretty much the same as all the other launchers.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] plasmathrower:
People say the lag fix is unecessary since stock tab is quite snappy, but i recently uninstalled it and noticed a slow down with redraws on my screens with adw.launcher. Agreed though any launcher will slow down with more icons/widgets. Especially those that have been stretched by adw
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
ADWLauncher - I turn off the animations and turn the delays and

overshoot down as far as they will go. I also make the drawer

background flat black with no transparency. Makes for a VERY fast

launcher. I also set the "System persistent" option in "System

Preferences". That seems to help keep Android from killing it off.

Returning to home is dawn near instant now.

System animations (Settings->Display->Animation) is set to "No

Animations". Again, makes things faster and I get bored watching the

redraws.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
I swear I did search first, even did a few general Google searches. Ultimately figured I'd try here.

So, my SD card is down to 500mb. I'm trying to clear up some space, and notice a file on the root of the card called .HPIMAGE.VFS. It's about 150mb. I tried to open it with root explorer, but it won't open it. So I long press on it and select 'open as text file', and root explorer force closes.

I Google searched, and found really random and confusing search results for it that made no sense to me.Thought I'd ask here If anyone has ever seen it, or familiar with it. I wanna delete it, but not if Android needs it. Oh, and when I plugged into a pc in mass storage/disk drive to try to open and inspect it, it doesn't show up on my card at all! That's the real kicker

I have no idea what it is and sure as hell don't remember ever downloading something like that.

If anyone knows anything about what this could be, or understands it, please let me know. It'd be much appreciated. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
Scott,

Do you happen to have (or have used that card in) a HP all-in-one printer? The .HPIMAGE.VFS file is a collection of thumbnails generated by the printer. That way when you put the card in the printer, it doesn't have to re-do the thumbnails and slow down scrolling through the pictures.

If you are not worried about the thumbnails (since the printer will regenerate the file), you can go ahead and remove it from your SD card. There is also an option in the preferences menu of the printer to stop the thumbnails from being generated.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Nivron, thanks so much man. I knew if I posted this here, at xda, someone far more tech savvy than myself would have some idea. Yeah, the search results I got did appear to indicate something about HP printer, and thumbnails, but also seemed to indicate a lot of confused people. (Like myself). I couldn't think of a time I used a printer (if in fact it was related to that). But your post jogged my memory enough that now I do remember I did exactly that on Halloween. Thanks so much man.

And toast, since it turns out this is entirely unrelated to Android or winmo, and by extension, xda, please feel free to delete. I love xda.

Again, thank you.

PLEASE READ CLEARLY FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING ANYTHING

Disclaimer

Im gonna pull this straight from infinitybiff when I say, "I'm not a dev, nor do I claim to be, yes this is easy, sharing is caring. If your phone explodes, not it."

This rom is extremely alpha, it is more of a proof of concept than anything.

Just in case you didnt understand, this rom is highly experimental.

Flash at your own risk. If you have any ideas to make this rom better, please, by all means, contact me.

This rom was made using the sdk dump that I pulled out yesterday, however Darkstone1337 made the rom bootable and passed on the knowledge,

then M-deejay took that knowledge and made the core of this rom. I am just putting some things in it to make it a little better.

Installation

Extract the "Android" folder in the ZIP file below to your MicroSD Card, pop it into your HD2, open File Explorer from WinMo, find the Android folder, tap CLRCAD.exe and then Haret.exe, and you're off!

Downloads

Im gonna say version 0.1 http://www.mediafire.com/?7o7mgkqpb3falg6

Credits

Darkstone1337 - For making Gingerbread on our phones possible.

M-deejay - For then using that knowledge and making the core of this rom.

atoore - Used his 262mb data.img

dakluck - Found the fix for BSOD (temporary)

m-deejay - Used his kernel. They rock.

IcedCube - Currently making me a data.img that seems to fix some problems.

Testers

dakluck - Awesome dude for finding the temp BSOD fix

MotoMudder77 - Provides me with all the logcats I could ever need

Legioner79 - Still waiting for him to get on Gtalk

If I use anything else, credit will be given.

Known bugs

White screen after animation/menu popup, just swipe or touch anywhere in the white area and it should go away. Its just slow screen redraw.

Home button does not work.

Slow (of course)
