[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
I'm a heavy video watcher, so I naturally loaded up my Captivate with tons of videos, thrilled at the idea that I didn't need to convert them first...or so I thought.

While playback performance is superb on even HD content with subtitles, it seems that hardware acceleration will only work with files encoded at 23.976fps :confused: Playing files encoded at other framerates (like 30fps, or a few variable-framerate files) results in completely out-of-sync video and audio.

Now, I can maybe excuse lack of VFR support, since timecode implementation might not be so simple (I wouldn't know), but why can't my Captivate play videos at their correct framerates? Videos are perfectly in sync when playing in software mode (using players like VPlayer and RockBox), but performance is poor in comparison. That leaves me to re-encode a good portion of my videos using AviSynth--hours and hours of setup and encoding time--just to end up with a workable framerate for my Captivate.

I just want to make sure this isn't just an isolated issue, as I've had this problem on both my original and my replacement Captivates. Anyone think this should be fixed by Samsung in their Froyo release?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I convert lots of videos (BD and standard DVD discs) for use on my Cappy. Some I leave at 23.97, others I switch to 30fps. All play fine in both mkv, divx, mp4 and h.264 formats. I use PavTube Ultimate Video Converter as it reads BD discs, even those with copy protection (The Dark Knight, for one, as well as rental discs). Works great and the vids look stunning on my Cappy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Hmm, interesting. The files in question are all mkv's that have framerates of 29.97 (constant framerate) or 23.976 (variable framerate). They have various resolutions and audio encoding. Every single one of them is heavily out of sync on my Captivate, even after remuxing into an mp4 container, although they play fine on my laptop. Using AviSynth and FFDshow to convert the framerate to 23.976 (constant) allows the videos to play fine on the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
A small bump: Another major issue I have with H.264 content seems to be seeking. Although I can't figure out whether this is caused by the video itself or the phone (since the videos always play and seek fine in VLC), the issue only seems to occur with H.264 videos in MP4 containers (not with MKV's).

The first set of videos are all MP4's made by extracting the H.264 streams from MKV's (all 23.976fps), re-encoding them at 800x450 resolution (using AviSynth and FFDshow on my desktop), and putting them into MP4 containers. The reason I converted them was to embed .ass softsubs as styled hardsubs (since styled .ass support is lacking in Android video players). Every single one of these videos will not manually seek past around 14:06 on my phone (they seek and play fine on my computer). If I seek to around 14 minutes and let the video play (or just let it play from the beginning), it will play through just fine, but attempting to seek beyond that causes ANY video player on my phone that relies on hardware acceleration to freeze (software codec players like RockBox and VPlayer will seek fine).

The second set of videos are exactly the same, except they are 640x480 resolution and they were encoded on my laptop (still using AviSynth and FFDShow). These videos will not seek past 3:25 seconds on my phone without freezing the player (once again, they play and seek fine on any computer). On top of that, these videos will NOT play through on their own: at some random point in the video (different each time), I get an error message saying "Sorry, the video cannot be played" (in any player relying on hardware acceleration), and then the video frame will freeze while the sound continues to play in the background.

Note that this only happens with MP4's: the MKV's have no problem playing or seeking, but they are out of sync if they are not at 23.976fps (constant) and I want my styled subtitles. Can anyone else reproduce issues like this? This has happened so far on TWO Captivates, whether on stock or running custom ROM's (I've used Cognition, Cezar's and Darky's with various kernels). I'm very confused and running out of ideas, I've already been asking about this on video encoding forums and haven't found a solution.

Edit: Nevermind these additional issues. I solved them by using FFmpegSource instead of DirectShowSource, now all my videos play and seek fine. However, this doesn't solve my issue with different framerates being out of sync.

Is there a custom rom out there somewhere for the Motorola Flipside? I have the phone and I hate motorola blur, Is there something like AOSP. Something simple and fast?
[Flipside General] ErebusRaze:
I don't think anyone has cooked up a custom ROM for the Flipside. The phone's not really supported and known by most people. Everything is for higher end Android phones.

I have ADW EX on my Captivate over a ROM, and put it on my girlfriends Flipside. It's definitely a step up because of the animations, themes and options with the launcher. Honestly... Motoblur is hideous.
[Flipside General] marvin02:
The Flipside runs pretty well if your root it and remove the AT&T stuff. I use LauncherPro as my home app.

Edit: don't add your social networks as Blur accounts. Use the Android FB widget and other apps to access that info.
[Flipside General] bakageta:
+1 for ADW Launcher, between that and removing most of the motoblur / AT&T stuff with Titanium Backup the interface gets much better. I'm sad that I'm still stuck with the motoblur contacts/dialer, but at least I was able to use the modded messaging app from Cyanogen 5.
[Flipside General] marvin02:
Try Dialer One. Very nice free dialer.
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Thanks for the suggestion, that's almost exactly what I was looking for.

[Flipside General] Dukenukemx:
I wanted to install a custom rom for my sisters flipside, cause she was impressed with the way my G1 looked.

It's not a terrible phone, so long as I can remove all the AT&T crap.
[Flipside General] SErooted:
Ok everyone. beings that there is not a custom rom for the flipside yet. what say you about looking at some roms from the backflip and seeing if therre is a way to port them through to the flipside?

As the flipside i have in my hands is kinda a loner from my niece as i am trying to hook it up fpor her the best i can. there really is not alot of options out there for this.

As i run an xperia x10 this is just something to play with for me a few days a week if that.

but am willing to work on some roms if someone can point me in the right direction of what i might need to modify.

SErooted
[Flipside General] Dukenukemx:
If you're really determined, you can visit Cyanogen's forum, and I'm sure people there will direct you.

The only really big downside to the Flipside is its screen resolution. Otherwise, it's a pretty up to date photo.
[Flipside General] coreeyll:
help please =D

Sooo i have a motorla flipside, its i decent phone i think. But as you all said i dont like the ATT interface and whatnot.. so how do i go about removing the ATT crap and replacing it with a new launcher or whatever? And what launcher should i use? I also want to be sure that i cant somehow ruin my phone lol

if you can help thank you!
[Flipside General] telegraph0000:
ADWEX for the user interface

Titanium backup to freeze all ATT bloatware and make it disappear from the menu.
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
There are a few ppl working on custom Flipside ROMs...one PM'd me in a modmymobile forum and said he'd have at least a recovery done by yesterday...i'm guessing something set him back but something will be coming soon!
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
So I asked the guy doing work on the Flipside recovery and this is what he said:

The flipout recovery apk looks like it may work as is from the flipout forum, but may only backup/restore/ system folder using an older cwm recovery, so you have an existing backup option i think..

I'm trying to dice it up w more specific files, updated recovery w the ability to mount/unmount all the partitions for full backups and wipes of personal data from the recovery.. maybe a day or 2?
[Flipside General] Vahnyyz:
has there been a follow-up on what's being done? I've been seeing different things for example:

"How to Root, Uninstall Bloatware, and de-activate moto-blur for Motorola Flipside"

It seems pretty legit but the guy says that some programs end up not working, I don't really know how to directlink the site but thats the title exactly without the quotation marks, and i keep seeing things about clockworkmod being made for the flipside but its a ROM manager that doesn't seem to find "my device".

Anyway, thats what i've seen so far, and I know it takes a while to get a response but I feel that the flipside is a pretty nice phone, it would be great if I could do more with it, as i'm sure most of us feel that way :)
[Flipside General] XOpaRAdiGm:
If you're talking about [http]androidforums[com]/flipside-all-things-root/345440-how-root-uninstall-bloatware-de-activate-moto-blur-motorola-flipside.html

then that site seems to be providing good information. i DEFINITELY would flash a recovery rom (such as polovinomozka's, his code seems to be pretty solid, although i have yet to test it. i do not have a flipside yet) and then perform a nandroid backup BEFORE doing any removal, just in case of irreparable damage :) i also would not recommend even trying to remove anything blur related as it will definitely make your phone unstable seeing how the whole system is based on blur. You can remove the ATT apps, but blur has to stay until there is a custom rom made without the blur built into it.

Hope this proves to be of some use to someone.
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
Last I've heard from one of the guys working on stuff is this:

yeah, i'm gonna see bout compiling from source the recovery apk that dexter derived his flipout recovery from and modify the hijack binary to work w the flipside (its only a couple small partition setting changes). if it works out, the cwm recovery should work flawlessly w /system /data /cache and /sd partitions, we're just locked down on the boot and recovery. (the ones we're using are fake or bootstrapped recoveries, not actually replacing the stock one)
[Flipside General] thebluetoothkid:
If they're working a release of froyo for the Flipside, I'd be more then happy to make a donation for the cause. Love the phone, but I'm dieing for 2.2.
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:

"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."

Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone

[Legend General] uss-cassini:
Hello XDA...

This is my first post, but I have come across a problem with my relativly new Vodafone HTC Legend. I had Cyanogen android 2.2 running on my device, and I used ROM manager to upgrade to the Cyanogen Mod's nightly builds. I created a backup during the ROM instillation, and received a warning saying there may not be enough space on my SD card to back up the existing ROM, but i continued with the backup. It then displayed backup successful. After a few days of use of the newest Cyanogen mod's Nightly build i decided to revert to my old OS using ROM managers restore from backup function. ever since my mobile will now longer load any further than the HTC logo.

What I have tried so far:

-Holding the back key while pressing the power button... and the result:

something called boot loader, which displayed a menu of 4 items... BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER & POWER DOWN. After selecting bootloader the next menu freezes while and then displays green writing mentioning something about no image, but removes itself from the screen to fast to be read. The new menu is composed of... FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE & SIMLOCK. Following instinct I pressed recovery, the HTC symbol is then displayed again, and then a black screen with the image of a phone similar to the HTC hero, with a red triangle and a exclamation mark.

Any help you can provide would be exceptional. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Many thanks

Stephen Gray
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Hi Stephen,

If you are stuck like this, the best thing to do is a FakeFlash. It launches ClockWork Recovery - then use nandroid to restore again.

If that fails, there is still a way to recover I think.

If you install the ROM you were using before and the data.img file is OK, you can install the ROM as if installing new ROM, then in nandroid choose Advanced recovery and recover "data"...That should recover your system to it's previous state... of course if your data.img is corrupted, you'll have to set everything up...
[Legend General] uss-cassini:

Is there a reason you can only restore a few Apps with Titanium. I backed up every app before uninstalling, but I can only restore a select few. The files are actually in the backup folder and can be manually pushed, but I would think you should be able to do it thru Titanium.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Ive never had that problem, do you have the freeversion?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
What apps are you talking about? System apps it won't bother restoring, just their data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
i've never had that issue.

i have about 90 user/download apps and i'm a bit of a flashaholic.

every time, it restores them perfectly with data.

as a side note, the pay version is totally worth throwing a few dollars into. it will restore all in one click, instead of you having to manually allow each app restore one at a time. you can just walk away and come back 10 minutes later and everything is done for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
+1. i used to think the free version was fine, but after you flash several times over...it's just a hassle to individually hit 'ok'. get the pay version. it's a couple bucks that will honestly save you a lot of trouble, and the dev deserves some comp for the assist.

Please place all of your discussions about obtaining root on the Evo Shift here.

Temp root:

​

Temporary root can be acheived a number of ways on the shift the easiest being either z4root app or the visionary plus root app.
​

Z4root:

download here and install as you would any other apk

open the app and hit temporary root

let it run till you are notified of its success

you now have temporary root!!

*Note you have to reapply z4 each time you reboot your phone

Visionary:

full instructions and the link to visionary can be found here.
​

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

IMPORTANT NOTE!

PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
​

they patched the root exploit on the desire z when they updated you can most definitely expect them to do the same for the shift so please for that sake of everybody being able to get proper root do not accept any updates unless further notified!!!

unless you just dont care about root that is.....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] epitaphromance:
so far, we got a temporary root.

No point in trying unrevoked as it scans for the device name and shows

"sorry, the device 'speedy' is not suppored" (paraphrasing)

wish i knew alittle more about this.

You can get to hboot by Holding down the vol down while powering on
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] falz:
Also in a previous thread bubby323 requested a dump of /system and dnalevelc obliged:

* http://www.digglesworth.net/evoshift/system.7z

In another forum (androidcentral) someone noted that an app called VISIONary works to auto temp-root the Shift upon boot.

* http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

Edit: Also there's code to temp root the G2 using a different exploit below. I haven't attempted to run it on my Shift. Possibly not relevant since it has a newer version but could be if an update is pushed to the Shift:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
Visonary does work, I turned on temproot on boot and then i pressed temproot now and it rebooted the phone. The phone was either taking its time or got stuck on the 4G for 2-3 mins so I pulled the battery and started the phone up again. I installed connectbot and typed su and got a #. Tried the reboot command and it wouldn't let me so I went into root explorer and it prompted the su app, gave it permission and started hacking away at bloatware..... no luck, it still came back from the grave :\

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
does anyone think the rageagainstthecage exploit will work on this? i assume people are working on it? cause if it does, that means unrevoked3 could possibly release a new version with shift support, right? since unrevoked is just an automated rageagainstthecage, right?
