Ive worked with the AOSP camera on the X and on the Desire. Still not achieving any difference with encoding rates, etc.
[Droid X General] rquellet:
After you made the changes to the media_prefs.XML file and saved it, did you reboot the phone?
[Droid X General] Droid_Hellion:
Yes.

What appears to be happening is that the camera is defaulting to minimum settings (in the Video Cap area) when recording. I've run out of daylight today but will fiddle with it some more tomorrow.

For what its worth, yes it will force into 29fps recording, even on the Blur camera. But the data rate on the AOSP cam is for crap, as is the image quality compared to the Blur camera.

I unfortunately have too many example files and other junk floating around so I think I will reflash this rom from scratch and mess with it again tomorrow. See if I can give you a little better quality of info.
[Droid X General] xmguy:
AOSP Video Camera issue. Not sure how to fix. The HD looks great when recording with this app. but a issue has arose. If I record beyond 1 min then the video file becomes corrupted. Any idea how to fix this?
[Droid X General] rquellet:
I've noticed this on occasion as well. Not overclocking seemed to eliminate most of my problems. You might also want to try reducing the bitrate from 17000000 to 14000000.

It is a little unsettling knowing that your video may become corrupted. For what it is worth, VLC is still able to play these corrupted files.
[Droid X General] xmguy:
I tried VLC. Didn't play. I'm not Overclocked. I'm running stock. May be why. But it will record UP TO 1 min great!! I'll try lowering the BR. I also noticed that the Blur camera will record now at 29 FPS. But it doesn't look as clear as the AOSP Camera APP.
[Droid X General] xmguy:
SUCCESS. Changing the bit rate from 17+ to 14+ did the trick. Thanks
[Droid X General] joshflorian@gmail.com:
These tweaks seem to do the trick. Excellent work!!! I've googled like crazy trying to figure out how to turn off what appears to be an image stabilization. Any ideas on this? I'm using the stock camera (blur?) should I try the AOSP app? Where do I get that?
[Droid X General] xmguy:
Any chance this mod would work with GB on CM7?
[Droid X General] rquellet:
It still works with Gingerbread. You have to find the Camera.apk from Liberty mod. Install it, freeze the Blur camera and reboot.

I'd give you a link to the file and be a little more clear, but I'm pretty busy right now.

[General Questions and Answers] gamblor01:
I am trying to follow the instructions from this thread to increase the speed of my card (I just put a brand new class 4 Kingston 32GB card):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921530

Unfortunately since I have less than 10 posts I am not allowed to post a reply to that topic so I'm posting a question here instead. I tried this "fix" and all it does is break my ability to mount the sd card. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop here and generally when I insert the USB cable and change to "disk drive" mode, gnome automatically adds an icon to my desktop and prompts me if I want to open the photos with f-spot or the music with rhythmbox.

So I changed back to charge only mode, fired up a terminal and dropped into an adb shell. I ran:

# su
# cd /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/
# echo 128 > read_ahead_kb

Then I exited from my shell and changed the usb mode to "disk drive" but nothing happened. A few seconds later I got a notification on my phone's taskbar that there was a DRM limitation. Really? That's curious because there is no media loaded on this card yet -- I *just* formatted it. Not sure what gives.

Changing the value back to 4 didn't seem to help but power cycling the phone did. Now I can at least mount the card as a disk drive again, and it's currently copying over about 25GB of music...very, very slowly (~2.4MB/s). I guess I'm going to bed soon so it doesn't matter if it takes 2.5 hours or 10 minutes but I'm still curious why this "speed fix" isn't working for me. It seems to be working great for everybody else. At a minimum I would expect my card to write at 4MB/s since it is a class 4 card. And given Kingston's reputation and the fact that this was retail packaging I imagine it's a legit card. I paid more for the Kingston so I hope it wasn't a waste of money.
[General Questions and Answers] gamblor01:
I guess nobody else ever had this problem or something? Just FYI I never did find a way to fix this so my card still runs quite slowly. I'm not 100% positive but I think it might have to do with the card installed in my phone? Maybe this fix only works for the original 8GB card that Sprint provides and not for the newer card I installed?

[HD2 General] wolk72:
Hey guys so I switched from iPhone to HTC HD2. And i got a little bit confused at one point. How do I use this phone with other carriers other than t-mobile? I have AT&T. After Doing some research I figured that I have two choices one is sim unlock which im not doing cause I gotta pay. And the second choice is radio flash? So Im confused right here. I have US t-mobile HD2, i put 2.08HSPL and have wp7 rom on it. Can I still do radio flash? If so how can I do this? And if ill do it, i will be able to use 3g data? Im sorry if im asking about some obvious things but im tottaly new to HTCs. Thank you.
[HD2 General] TechAnimal:
Welcome to the HD2 world. I don't know specifically about the US models but in Europe, you need to sim unlock to use a locked phone on a different carrier.

Using different radio versions allows you to test and find one that offers the best balance of battery life and signal quality for your location and usage pattern.

With regards to data speed, those would be dependent on your carrier as unlocking gives you access to all the HD2s capabilities.

If I'm wrong in any of these someone will chime in soon. Have you tried using the search and looking the the very details FAQ threads? Have fun!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Currently no free sim unlock. Buy a code online or get from t mobile.

Changing radio has no effect on network lock.

Regarding data speeds, it depends what network you are on. Example a tmous phone on at &t wont get 3g, cos the hardware bands don't match.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Flashing a radio will not allow you to use another carrier. You gotta pay for that privilege.

Hi...

Ok.. I was on rogers 2.2 stock, I was trying to follow instructions to install paragon, anyway, it didnt work, my phone was still working great tho.. so i tried flashing stock jh6 with the one click from the wiki here... That worked and I now have a rogers phone with att stuff loading up. anyway, I am trying to complete the instructions for paragon but I can no longer get to recovery mode.

the att logo keeps rebooting if i keep holding down vol up and down, what do I do now ?

Edit : I cant seem to even get to download mode :( Recovery mode always worked before, download mode was always tricky, but it refuses now :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boardsportsrule:
do you have adb installed?? if so run adb reboot recovery in command prompt.

OR

Take out battery, take out sim and SD card. press and hold VOL UP/DOWN. put in battery, press power. release power upon seeing AT&T sign. pray.

Works for me about 99 times outta 100 at this point!

but i prefer adb since its much more fool proof!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
<captainhindsight>You should not have flashed JH6.</captainhindsight>

As per the above post, boot the phone, enable debugging and use 'adb reboot recovery'. After you get that sorted, flash the 3 button fix and never flash to stock unless stock firmware is your final destination or your phone is so hosed you have to use download mode to fix it. If you do use odin in the future then use the right one for your phone build so you don't lose your button combos.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortionist:
but I only followed instructions :( Everyone that asks was getting told to go try and blah blah, well that was what I was doing.

You know now I am really stuck. I did use adb and restored stock and didnt want to mess with my phone anymore, but the at&t logo kept popping up, im with rogers. I found a fix and was following those instructions when odin screwed up, it started flashing then said it failed, it happened to me once before but my combo key was working then.

I dont understand why it stopped, It seemed to be intermittent, a bunch of issues, after flashing that at&t rom.

I wish I could fix it, I am stressing out over it, ill get the stuff for that jig tomorrow and hope that works. This phone is brand new! I am not a modder or hacker, I got stiffed by rogers and samsung with the voice dial over bluetooth issue, they wouldnt take the phone back.

I would love to have the att logo gone, rogers froyo 2.2, and broken bluetooth.. Its better than a paper weight. Please help me ! You know what.. I can live what that logo.. I just want to get my phone operational.

Goodnight, and thanks for your help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnewton01:
i'm guessing you didn't flash the 3 button fix that opcow suggested before doing anything else?

if you can get into download mode, flash this:

No I didn't, in its forum it says if you had no problems initially with the 3 buttons, this is not for you. Thats what it said! I was told I shouldnt have done that and should have flashed the 3 button fix after the fact.

I just bought resistors, ill be home later to try and force download mode.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
I really would like to use my evo for work and i'll briefly mention what I'm trying do.

A co worker and myself own and run a small pc repair business.

We take notes on every thing we do and every thing we see and observe. why? Well, We can change a psu for a customer and 2 months later they get an infection and try to say we fixed this already, when we didn't even touch the OS.

Anyways, we have a thriving business and we have people in and out all day, the phones never stop ringing from open to close 6 days week. So needless to say, we accurately a lot of notes, memos and todos.

Lol, we thought we should take care of our own IT needs so we are trying different things out.

We were writing every note and conversation down on paper and keeping each customers invoice for a particular visit with the corresponding. This methods works. All you need is a pen and some paper. How ever we sometimes file these notes incorrectly or I can't read mybown writing, lol and I can't ever seem to find them quickly.

We recently decided we'd switch over to some sort of electronic note taking system and its a bear trying to find a way to get these notes available for editing and creating notes on 15 dedicated work Benches and 3 desks and one point of sale.

The method we are using now involves creating a folder and sharing it with certain users then mapping folders and creating shortcuts, then each customer gets a folder and each folder will inherent the permissions. we bought a netbook and a couple of laptops to drag around all the stations taking notes and what not. And its a pain but its working .

We may eventualy use sharepoint with word to make our application more network friendly.

Here's where my evo could tie in. My evo is having problems with creating and editing docs on the network. I may not even like using my evo for non stop note taking but it may prove to be handy for just viewing the data.

Also I thought about using gmail contacts for customer info and note taking because multiple people can be logged in and the same time and changes made to one customer will be updated immediately on all pcs that happen to have that particular customer contact open...its sweet. Plus we can have this gmail account added to our Android phones and we would have this info so we could essesntialy have our notes with us no matter where we are, even out on site.

My partner says she doesn't want to rely on google for something so important and that since we don't pay for it can break or change. If ee loose our internet we loose our notes. BTW In 2 years our internet went down only once for about 1.5 days.

So can you guys think of any way we can manager this data and still have direct access on your phones. BTW I use ignition and its not fluid enough to be beneficial in terms of time.

Any ideas, concrete or conceptial are welcome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsjc741:
The evo is definetly a work phone, as well as a play phone. You might want to check out dropbox, it allows you to sync files over many computers, as well as your smart phones. For to do lists, theirs a program called todo.ly (I don't know if its a program or just a idea) that can maintain a to do list and work with drop box. If I'm right, it should be a add-on to dropbox found on their website.

I hope this helps!

Oh, and you get 2 GB of space for free. That's plenty for invoices and to do lists.

I had a look at shipped-roms.com and was confused about which is the right rom to be used.Can anyone please answer these doubts:

1.Which is the latest 'stock' original rom that i must download ?

2.Also can this rom be rooted ?

3.How do i find the current version of my ROM ?

4.Will flashing a ROM erase ALL my information like contacts etc ?

5. Speaking of contacts , Sense automatically fetched all contacts from Facebook. --> I dont want those contacts, is there some way to filter between the fb contacts and the actual 'useful' contacts that i will add?

2. Nothing can't be rooted ;) (except beetroot).

3. Go to "Settings" and look for something called "About your phone".

4. If you change ROM, you have to perform a "full wipe" so, yes. If you simply update your ROM, you have to wipe your cache and you won't loose your contacts. I suppose you have a Gmail account where your contacts are saved!

NB. When performing a full wipe, you don't loose personal data from your SD-Card!

5. You can choose to show all contacts or only the phone ones (not Facebook). Look somewhere using the "menu" button on contacts

I highly recommend making a backup of your EFS folder. My IMEI and nv_data.bin got corrupted totally randomly. I didn't install any unlocking tools or anything of the sort and it still happened to me. Luckily, there were backups already in my EFS folder because I didn't have any.

[Vibrant General] TheAggression:
I completely new to the whole flashing and custom rom thing. I've never tried anything like it and don't know much about it. The closest I've come to hacking or rooting my Vibrant phone is with the OCLF app. Now, I too have been patiently waiting for Froyo to come out and for some reason when it did come out I was hesitant to get it. I wanted to see what people were saying about it before I downloaded and installed it. So far from what I'm seeing, its not all its cracked up to be and it seems like Froyo for the Vibrant is "meh" for most. This is a bummer to me but I kept hearing about using a custom and its advantages. Thankfully I bumped into a very useful thread posted by xriderx66 on his reviews on some of the roms out now. Based on what he said, I'm looking to flashing my phone to the Bionix-V Rom by Team Whiskey. Problem is I have no idea how to get started. What do I need to do to flash my phone? Any program I need to download first? How do I backup my files? I'm such a noob at this its funny but I'm willing to take the risk and experience this phone the way it should be experienced.
