I just got my wife an Ideos, but I have a Samsung Vibrant and peruse their forums frequently. Some things the devs there have implemented that might be of interest:

Lockscreen choices. I think there are 6 now, though I use the same one as the Ideos.

Power down menu options - reboot, recovery, and download.

Power control options in the notification pull down (gps, wifi, bluetooth, etc.).

I do not know the feasibility of these, nor the desire on a smaller screen with fewer resources. And maybe you can get rid of the last check before power down.

I got a U8150 a few weeks back and I was wondering what work has been done on the kernel so far? Apparently there is an adreno gpu not being used according to what I have read on a few sources on the internet. I haven't seen an official data sheet though. If we could get that adreno running if the DO have one then this phone will officially kick my old kaisers ass.

i would love a release without the power button hack too.

I like using dpad to switch on the phone instead of tiny power button.

EDIT: If you do not have time/don't want to create additional ROM, can you please give a pointer on how to switch it back without using third party app ? I tried editing surf_keypad.kl and changed dpad_center to WAKE from WAKE_DROPPED but that didn't work. Pretty please ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] maury1234:
could you please provide me with the link to the rom :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hoolahoous:
thanks. sorry for little noob questions..

1) how do i change the base ROM ? I installed the rom from your first post. do you mean to say that I use a different ROM. Or do you mean I just change the ROM version in build.properties ?

2) looks like swype final version can not be downloaded standalone (only the beta releases which you need to renew every few months)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maury1234:
1. Download this rom http://www.mediafire.com/?jmaeae1fo6lod1i

2. Unzip it and copy the dload folder to the root of the sd card.

3. Power on phone while pressing the red key and volume up..(Force update method)

4. install a custom recovery (go into bootloader by pressing red key and volume down then flash custom recovery)

5. install custom rom and if you'll like clean install swipe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hoolahoous:
thanks for quick answers !!!

however sorry I don't understand so please bear with me, I already have custom recovery and I installed clean ROM from first post. That ROM already came with swype and that is not working. So the questions are

1) is base rom different than a regular rom ?

2) is the rom on first page different than the link you posted in this post

3) how can I clean install swype if the apk is not available

Apologize again for being such a noob (i switch to android from winmo so still learning the ropes)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maury1234:
download and unzip the rom i told u to man...the difference is that it removes all the service provider stuff and yea there is a difference....(look at the post above for detailed instructions)....install custom recovery and install my rom if you like

[Miscellaneous Android Development] crispybbq:
Ah, I see. The ODT.zip changes the clock/date on the status bar.

The values in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, and in there, /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml, are for colouring the notification dropdown box.

I can change these values by decompiling the apk in apktool, no problem. But apktool can't parse the IDEOS' framework-res files to recompile it after these changes. I end up with about 600 lines of errors, as it fails on everything in some file.

Does anyone know of any MetaMorph theme with a modified status_bar_latest_event_content.xml? This would be the solution.

There's nothing else anywhere, cause it seems to be expected that if you're gonna change your theme, you're gonna be using Cyanogenmod, and thus you're gonna have a pricey, popular device.

Sadly there are no Cyanogenmod builds for the Ideos, (try porting CM6 or something! :D ), so using the cmparts thing (or whatever it is) to change the notification text colours is out of the question. :(

Hi

any news about mkv (h.264) videos whith this tablet?

Hardware is the problem? or android is the problem?

regards
[Vega General] maxip:
AFAIK, the Vega can't play MKV as this is a limitation of Android (as opposed to the tablet). perhaps in 2.3 / 3.0 we'll see MKV support introduced.
[Vega General] pildo:
thanks :p

I can to play mkv with h.264 files, but it's too slow, 4-6 fps only with any players (vital player, meridian, etc)...

saludos
[Vega General] dagrim1:
Did you try rockplayer? Have good experiences with it, but haven't tried mkv yet...
[Vega General] dopeh:
You can always use a program like Handbrake to convert it to mp4/h264, which works fine for me.
[Vega General] SilentMobius:
Remember that MKV is just a container if the base AOSP build of Android suddenly gained the ability to parse Matroska containers it would not magically give you the ability to play High-profile 1080p H.264 video streams, or DTS/AC3 audio that may be contained in the MKV.

Rockplayer and all the ffmpeg-alikes are able to parse the containers but _none_ of them will be able to use the native hardware acceleration and as such will be useless for HD content.
[Vega General] pildo:
This is the problem :mad:

I use vital player, the best for mobii/vega, because I can view all videos with AC3 without problem (divx or wmv with AC3). MKV with vital player are slow too...

The best codec for mobii/vega 720p? mp4/h264? wmvhd? I have a lot of mkv/h.264/mkv...

regards
[Vega General] demonknight9:
Funny thing is my first tablet the ZT-180 was able to play mkv 720p high profile with DTS beautifully! It stuttered a bit on 1080p, watchable though. This is on a low budget machine, on the vega it should fly! This was in real player for android by the way. Explain that
[Vega General] pildo:
this is the big question :p WHY??!!! :confused:
[Vega General] rpmccormick:
I second this. MKV was perfect on the ZT-180's 2.1 rom. Proof that this is not a limitation of android.
[Vega General] ndroid2k11:
hi,

i have installed rockplayer and mVideoPlayer. it seems that they install some codecs because now i can play 720p and partly 1080p MKV videos on my mobii tegra (vega rom + modaco) via the video player that comes with the rom.

greez
[Vega General] pildo:
really? witch rom are you using? addons? I can play 720p MKV, bur slowly, at 5-10fps

regards
[Vega General] dopeh:
I can play the mkv files but just no sound.. running vega rom with modaco.
[Vega General] pildo:
you can use vitalplayer, the best for me.
[Vega General] SilentMobius:
Because that tablet its _so_ dodgy that the OEM built in MKV/DTV/AC3 decoding into android (like Samsung/etc) and released it without paying for the licences (for DTS and AC3).

If dolby et al notices then the retailers will get a lawsuit.

Though it does mean that there is Android source floating around China that includes MKV parsing. Latest Gingerbread update add WebM so lest see if that comes with a full matroska parser.
[Vega General] ndroid2k11:
Advent Vega 1.09 ROM + MoDaCo r8 :)

when i play the movies with rockplayer or mVideoPlayer it's slow, too. But with the original player it works fine. Don't know why :D
[Vega General] BLCollier:
Hi all

Apologies for the thread revival. There's no need to use any third party apps to play MKV files, you can play MKVs using the built in media player. I use Astro file manager and do the following: navigate to file, long-press on the file itself, select "Open As", select "Video", then choose the default media player. It might be easier to have the app recognise it as standard, but this method works. I've tried quite a few 1080p x264 vids and the only thing the Vega struggles with is the audio codecs - it supports AAC, but AFAIK it doesn't support AC3.

EDIT: I should probably mention that I use the default 1.09 ROM, modded with MCR R8.

The reason that third party apps probably get a low FPS is that they do not use the Tegra2 hardware accelerated decoding - the built in player does however.

The core Android system actually supports the MKV container format - it's listed on the spec page; I guess implementation is obviously different for each device. As someone pointed out though, the important thing is the codec in use for each video/audio stream; MKV is just a container format.
[Vega General] Logseman:
Is there a program which can link file extensions with app s?
[Vega General] evorgevol:
I believe that mVideoPlayer literally just makes the mkv format available/viewable/whateverable in the stock player, so if you install it, you should just be able to play mkvs in the stock player :) (mVideoPlayer does not have any codecs, so it will only be able to play the codecs that your device can already play)
[Vega General] stoolzo:
most devices can play H264 mkv, hell my phone can even play them with one player or another, the issue here is decoding, the vega simply cannot decode h264 high profile video hence the slow framerates as the player has to switch to software.

Suggesting this is possible by switching to the stock player is just nonesense, those that claim to have good frame rates are NOT playing h264 high profile, the hardware cant do it, period, end of thread.

Note: most "ripped" MKV films / tv files (1 gig usually for TV rips 6 gig + for films) that can be downloaded in 720p and 1080p will be encoded in high profile, you simply wont ever be able to play these with decent frame rates without re-ecoding into a codec tegra can handle like H264 main profile - unless the open source VLC team manage to create their own CPU optimisations when VLC finally come out, even then it wont be buttery smooth.

give it up people, you are going to have to re-encode or not bother using it as media tablet.
[Vega General] stiker:
so bottom line, there is no way to play 720p films/tv shows on vega? that's so bad :(

A work colleague got a DHD from 3 and it was branded, at least until I got him on the latest AR HD ROM and debranded it for him.

From stock you'll get branded splashscreen, bootanim and some 3 apps. The handset itself has no branding on it though. Dunno if it came locked as he got it on 3 to use it on 3 so I had no need to test.

Someone else at work had one on Orange and that has their logo on the rear casing. I'm not sure about software branding but I think it's safe to say it will knowing what Orange are like.

Were they from from a reseller or Orange direct?

The guy here at work with the Orange branded DHD got his from Orange direct.

If you get them from Phones4U, Car Phone Ware House etc then most of the time it will be unlocked & unbranded as they just get one off the shelf and then give you a SIM card to suit the network you just signed up for.

Same with T-Mobile. I did my upgrade with them on the phone but they had no stock left so they said I could pick one up from a local CPW store, which I did. No branding for me ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I've been on Orange for years. The only problem I have is when I'm in a 2G area and a data connection is active - any incoming voicecalls go straight to voicemail. This is because Orange prioritize data over voice, and 2G can't handle both simultaneously. No problem on 3G. Vodaphone prioritize voice in these circumstances.

Anyway, at the end of my contract I said I want to go monthly SIM-only (having bought my dhd off contract and sold my Touch HD) . Orange offered me 300 any network minutes, unlimited landline, 1Gb data, 15 picture messages, and a Desire for £13 per month. I promptly bit their hand off. Now selling the Desire....

I recently moved to sparksmod 1.6.4 ROM on my HTC G1. The speed is awesome, love the interface. All is well except for an irritating pop-up that started showing up on my phone which just says "helo" and there is only an OK button. On pressing OK the pop up goes off. But it comes back again in the time interval of 3mins. Now when the phone is idle and the creen is locked, the popup keeps accumilating. When I pick up the phone to use it, I have have to keep pressing OK until all the windows close. Sometimes I have to do it 20 times and 5 times depending upon how long the phone is idle.

I am a novice, I depend on the threads online o resolve problems with my phone. XDA rocks for that.
