Ive noticed if you get a movie that is wide screen and in letterbox no matter what ypu do to the movie it will always have a little realistate there. I know a helpful hint to get a none letterbox movie to fit perfectly in 800X480 screen. In handbrake it always wants to convert to 720X480 or something like that. So i check the auto fit right under that and crop 20 pixels off the left and right side and then the auto fit will go up to 800X480. 20 pixels on each side is hardly anything you wont evev be able to notice.

Fear the beard...

Ive tried the other dvd converters and none of them make a nicer, tighter file than handbrake. Others maybe faster but the quality wont be up to par with high bit rates and audio.

Fear the beard...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Freemake Video Converter will make the largest file that will fit the screen without stretching or changing the aspect ratio. That means either Height OR Width if the aspect ratio of the movie is different than the phone.

I don't know what you are watching them with, but the default video player lets you toggle between full screen stretched to fit, full screen correct aspect ratio, and original size. So the extra steps are not needed.

SERIOUSLY!?!? You are watching this on a 4 inch screen and you want to continue to use a bloated, overly complicated program that converts slower for QUALITY? I'll bet you keep all your music at 320Kbps Constant Bit Rate when you put it on your music player and then listen with cheap earbuds too, right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
No need to convert. Unless you just want to save space.

[Blade General] Prerna:
Hello,

Can someone post a decent 2.2 or 2.3 ROM for the ZTE Blade (LCD version)?
[Blade General] linkinpark4175:
There are only 2.2 custom roms which are still in alpha.

You can find them in Modaco forums

[Blade General] cobhc:
That's for the Pulse. Wrong phone...
[Blade General] Tom_G:
First, that is the pulse rom, not the blade.

Second, those gingerbread roms are not suitable for end-users. They haven't had much development and have many problems. The pulse one does have basic functions working and is usable, but the blade one doesn't even have basic functions (no RIL, no sd card, wifi is broken in the latest verison). Please do not encourage people to use them.
[Blade General] hartej:
I've got Paul's Alpha 4 Froyo ROM working on my OLED and the girlfriends LCD. Everything works as expected, apart from the FM Radio.

http://android.modaco.com/content/z...ad-online-kitchen-heavily-fixed-chinese-leak/

It's not available to the general public, but if you go 'AD-Free' on Modaco you get access to the online Kitchen, and can generate your own version with common features added/subtracted.
[Blade General] ephumuris:
Or there is a prebake of alpha 3 available. If you flash one of my themes over it, it fixes coarse location which is the main fix of alpha 4. I even uploaded stock theme with location working for alpha 3 and 4.

[Blade General] cobhc:
Yep, we're invading. I've been a member here for a while, but not posted much.
[Blade General] ScoopaDing:
None of the current unofficial 2.2 roms are what I'd consider stable enough for serious / functional day to day use.

One of the main issues is that the lockscreen randomly freezes for many people in all current Froyo roms, even if you switch to a pattern unlock. Some users have reported that installing the app "Widget Locker" from the market is a possible work-around solution.

Fortunately there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Softbank are officially launching an Android 2.2 version of the Blade today! Their version is called the Libero Softbank 003Z.

Hopefully that will prove a much more stable / compatible version of Froyo than the present leaks, which people can then base more usable roms on.
[Blade General] ephumuris:
Modaco's alpha 4 is more than stable i would say. I get the lockscreen freeze very rarely. Maybe once a couple of weeks. The other day twice in a day, but never during a call or anything. Just can't wake from sleep.
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
look over on modaco, a Android 2.2 build has been extracted from the chinese lcd version of the zte blade. hopefully we can get a sucessful port soon.

[Blade General] shock-UK:

[Blade General] PReDiToR:
Paul's Froyos are cool

I disagree.

This 2.2 is stable and fast.

Much better than the stock 2.1-1 B05 that my wife has on her stock Blade. Daily use, I'm happy with it. Might grab R5 when the link works, but it doesn't really matter. I've not found this one lacking.

And yes, I too am glad that the best smartphone site on the net has caught up with my purchasing =)

I need google apps for v6.1 my android market I's not working
[Nook Color General] shadow349:
Is there any way to re-run the initial autonooter registration steps (the ones that start 'Skip "Set up your Google Account"') without doing a full-reset?

I did a full factory reset on my NC and upgraded to 1.0.1. When I autonooted, I messed up and hit the "Home" button right around the "Google Account" step, which sent me back to the main screen. I didn't get a chance to finish up all the additional steps (starting with the "Google Location" step, I think).

I tried just re-nooting and it never took me back to the registration screen.

Overall, I don't think I am having an issues that others are not having (can't delete a 2nd Gmail account, can't do shortcuts on home screen, etc) and things like the Market do work.

Do I need to worry because I didn't finish the autonooter steps? If I do, how do I run it without a full factory reset?

Thanks!

You should use kitchen, it`s better for people how begins with android roms.

If something go wrong it`s my fault. I worn you.

If you don`t have source. First you need identify hardware and partition layout, and download cyanogenmod source, because cyanogenmod contains many useful tools to create rom from scrach.

mkdir -p cyanogenmod
cd cyanogenmod
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync
make -j4 otatools

Then You need extract kernel from devices or download from internet.

. build/envsetup.sh
dump_image boot boot.img
build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh device_manufacturer_name device_name /your/path/to/the/boot.img

Correct and compare your config with other device config(configs for build are in cyanogenmod/device/).

When everything is ready.

make -j 8

You build should be in out/target/product/your_device_name .If you have build error search in internet and fix it, and try build again.
[Android] kdb424:
Cyanogenmod is hardly supporting the archos line if at all. They are extreamly difficult devices to develop for in the traditional android rom cooking ways I'm afraid to say. Untill/if they become more popular in XDA, I think you are not going to have much luck. I will however say they are nice devices if you exclude the ability to hack them.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick92260:
hey i have a bell desire z which i am using in the US with at&t. i signed up for the htcsense.com service which lets me locate the phone, lock it, ect... however, I saw a video on engadget for the desire hd where they had more options on the website for sending remote texts, access to the htc hub, and footprints near the top of the web page. you can also see it here in the picture... http://www.htc.com/www/htcsense/index.html

my question is why don't i see any of these options when i log onto htcsense.com? all i get is the page that lets me locate the phone or send it a message. could it be because the phone is branded to bell that the other options aren't there? could someone with the generic desire z log onto htcsense.com and see if those options are there?

Also here is the video from engadget that shows the extra options, http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/27/htc-desire-hd-review/ it's the video under the HTC Sense part of the review.

[Captivate General] RepublicanDaddy:
After months of waiting and finally getting over my fears of flashing, I rooted and flashed the stock 2.2 rom to my captivate today!

my opinion, just use the stock 2.2. it's frickin amazing. I'm thrilled and can't believe it took this long for me to build up the courage to flash. from the gps working to the beautiful text to speech ( which I'm using to write this even as we speak..lol); I can't get over how much I love this.

So, use the odin flasher and have fun!

Many thanks to all the developers on XDA who worked so hard to get 2.2 out all of us!
[Captivate General] JagoRacing:
How do i use odin? Do you have a link?
[Captivate General] Archpope:
I can't speak in regard to other ROMs as I have only tried working with Cognition.

The thing is, if you can handle the complexities of Lagfix, installing Cognition is a piece of cake. The instructions that nbs11 posted are pretty much it, except that you should disable whatever lagfix you used before you do it, and use Android ID changer to back up your Android ID. As far as Odin goes, you only need it if:

1. You really like your phone to be clean before you upgrade

2. Something goes wrong.

I panicked the first time something went wrong. I should tell you my story. I forgot to use Android ID changer, and also forgot to copy the data from a few other things from my original Eclair build. So, I went back to one of my backups. I didn't realize that the backup didn;t include the kernel, so the rolled-back phone no longer booted. Odin to the rescue. It flashed an idiot-proof stock version, then I used ROM manager to get to my backed-up data, re-flashed with Odin, and ran the Cognition backup. It all worked fine.

TL;DR. You just need ROM Manager and a little planning, and Odin will bail you out in the off chance you screw something up.

Someone who likes setting up a phone less than I do should make a back-up checklist.

Oh, and here's a link to everything you need to know about Odin:

[Captivate General] RepublicanDaddy:
K, I was dumb the first time around.....

I'm officially changing my mind. I've been using Cognition 3.04 now for about a week. I've not run into ANY issues. In the first week of using the leaked "official" 2.2 release, I'd already run into a few minor bugs, then over the course of a month, ended up with a fun that was stuck in a reboot loop...totally random issue, nothing had changed on the phone, it just went nutz on me.

I flashed to Cognition and am absolutely LOVING it!!! If you're going to flash a ROM, skip the "official" leaked 2.2 and go for Cognition. It's great! Smooth, fast, and without bloatware.

I do have to admit, yes I know I'll catch some flak for it, but I do miss the Samsung Media Hub (Cognition has it removed as Bloatware). Other than that....no issues at all!

I'm trying to root my new Evo from Sprint.

So when I do it myself it then says that there is an internal error and it cant find the misc. I don't know if it is because maybe my Evo is to updated and I have to wait for another Unrevoked. any information will help.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Unrevoked3 currently cannot be used to root EVOs with HBOOT 2.02/2.10 because they have different partitions or something and can actually mess up your phone. The unrevoked dev team is working on updating unrevoked to work on the new EVOs.

If you want to root your phone now, you can check out either of the 2 methods listed below or wait for unrevoked to put out theirs.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamJAX:
Hi,

My nexus one restarts if its temperature reaches over 37 degrees. So I am unable to use it at all. I tried factory reset and using it without any apps, decreasing cpu speed with set cpu, tried different roms(currently using MIUI) etc and still no solution for this. Initially when i got the phone it reboots around 43 degrees. But now it got worse and boots at around 37. How do I fix the issue? Can I fix this without senting the phone to HTC?

I have my phone rooted without unlocking the bootloader and using clockworks recovery. I am thinking of senting the phone to HTC if there is no other options. How do I restore the phone to stock rom and recovery? Most tutorials I came across were using fastboot to flash recovery. Doesn't the bootloader need to be unlocked for this?

Regards

Tried wiping/factory reset as well as another battery. Factory reset was first thng I tried and tried using the phone without any apps(other than default apps) installed. Still the same. It is not the issue with battery or any installed apps.

37 is way cool. If it is slightly warm day, my phone reboots as soon as I switch it on without even running any applications.

If Bootloader is untouched, you phone should be still covered by warranty. Even few people who unlocked their bootloader still got success when repair their device at HTC.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OJ in Compton:
Assuming you're located in India as your profile says, I'm not entirely sure (I'm in the USA). Best to call up HTC and see what they can do, but provided they'll honor it in your country, your problem should be covered under warranty.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boswell20:
I had the exact same issue. I had to send my phone in 3 different times and it took months for then to finally resolve the issue! Yes I was one of the many people who got unlucky with their horrible service!

Anyways, end result is that I think they had to change the motherboard to fix the issue. I say this because whenever I do a nandroid now, its a different number shown for my device number.

Btw, the first time I sent the phone in, I was able to revert the phone to 100% stock. The other two times, I didn't bother relocking everything and there was no issue with HTC. They worked on it and returned the phone to me back to 100% stock.

Oh, my phone works 100% which makes the horrible experience worth it :). If you send it in, hopefully the issue gets resolved the first time in a timely manner
