[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
What I meant was the entire picture in whole. The free x10 camera app focused better on everything within the entire picture....where as the stock camera mod showed signs of trouble. I did tests in low light (in my house) and tests outside in daylight. Out of about 15 comparisons the stock camera mod came out better twice....but only focused better....those two times the free x10 camera app still displayed better color (more natural).

Now I just made another discovery...i flashed my phone with seus tonight....and I used the default se camera on my phone (.435 firmware) against my wifes x10 using v8 of the stock modded camera (also .435) and the se default came out better 3 of the 4 tests. The one pic where the modded camera focused better the default se camera app still produced better color.

Before .435 firmware came out the mod was clearly better...but now in sticking to the default se camera as this mod isn't producing better results with the .435 firmware.

When I compare all camera apps (se stock .435, .435 modded app, vignette paid, free x10 beta 4) the free x10 beta 4 is the winner hands down of all of them. I was shocked with the images it produces.

@28spawn: if you happen to read this don't take offence please...i still appreciate your work. But I've ran enough tests the last few days to clearly see which camera apps produce the best results.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kultus:
intersting...so you are saying .435 mod is worse than stock .435??? Im fan of spawn but now Im going back to stock and make some photos...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
Im a fan to....but since the .435 firmware I was skeptical with the mod. That's why the last few days I have been going crazy comparing camera apps. I think 28spawn can fix this, but he needs to look closer at what's going on in .435 firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
Here's a comparison I did down in my gamesroom in my basement. Notice the color that comes from the modded camera....its awful. Both cameras were on the exact same settings..ev, white balance, metering, etc etc.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kultus:
first THX for the pictures, second for the comparison its better to compare pictures in full resolution and with good light conditions...the yellow tint can be removed by software, but im always interested in overal detail and good focus instead of colours that can by adjust in e.g. photoshop :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
I compare pictures in good light and low light....those pictures were obviously low light...but I don't want to have to mess around with a photo editing program all the time just to get a better picture you know? And im sure most people would agree. I do compare at full resolutions...and also I zoom in on certain areas and compare that as well. The photos I posted were just to show the bad color im getting from the modded app....almost a sepia effect lol. Anyways, tomorrow (today) since I haven't been to bed yet lol I will be comparing these two apps (mod vs se stock) in good lighting conditions.

Did you compare any yet?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kultus:
OK I have no problem to run all photos throught software even automatic contrast/levels make a good job and its fast and can be done automatically (Xnview) anyways both of us prefer different photos properties as I said for me is sharpness and detail the most important :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Flo95:
So the stock camera app + the lines in the build.prop for better HD videos is the best solution for 2.1?

I'll go back to the stock app later, but can't make much tests...

@ Mr Patch:

Btw, are you bluechip on youtube with the white and black X10 and the tutorials?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
@ Mr. Patchy Patch: So 1st pic of the gameroom is unmodded stock 2.1 and 2nd is modded v8? Mind posting a comparison shot with the Free x10 beta 4 cam you said was best?

Also, are you using multi-auto focus or infinity focus with the 2.1 cam(s)? If not, you'll notice much better background detail using one of those over single auto focus.

*Edit- I am still convinced that video and focus have improved in the modded camcorder regardless of the build.prop additions. I take more vids than pics, so sticking w/ v8 for now...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
v8 modded apk is much much better, imho. Look at my post here to see the comparison. I took those photos with touch capture mode, because that is the mode I use the most. Most of the times, I do not care about the background, I just want to focus on one item. Stock camera app just can't focus! :eek: But with v8 mod, it looks really good.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
No im not bluechip...my user name on youtube is the same as here.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
6

I was just using single auto focus for both. Ill give multi auto focus a try.

Im gonna take some more tests in a bit with a nice bright sky outside.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
Here's a couple more comparisons between V8 mod and stock .435.

There is no way you that the mod is taking better pictures.

by the way for both of these I used multi auto focus on both phones like someone suggested to me.

Im gonna go back to V7 just for the hell of it...I know its supposed to be the same, but Im gonna check it out anyways and see if there is any difference.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] baz@gmx.co.uk:
I would also be delighted to see more results, i have not yet tried 28Spawn Mod, but loved the idea of it - so i have d/l it and am just trying to find time (still trying to find a preferred ROM!!)

I must say - overall i was totally disappointed with x10's camera - when i decided to take the x10i I had no experience with any smartphones, nor had i read any forums (noobisms) but i chose x10i over htcHD - imagin my dissapointment when i found out the camera had a light - instead of a flash - and seemed to take worse pictures that my wife's htc desire (5.1 camera) see here
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bagienny:
Hi there!

I'm trying to root Ziio 7 unit I got for a review for PurePC.pl, and so far so good I installed SuperUser app and su and busybox binaries. Now using terminal I can su without any problems. But the thing is, SU only seems to be working in terminal emulator. I've tried using some apps that should use root like ShootMe and ScreenshotIt, SetCPU and they just doesn't work.

ShootMe says "Starting Server failed", plus info that i need to have root access and enabled access to lower graphics (whatever it is).

ScreenshotIt just doesn't work without any information why, and SetCPU FC's after selecting profile. Although it gets me a nice SuperUser dialog, but that's as far as it goes, cause it crashes right after that.

Am I missing something to have a complete root? Interesting thing is that on this device, preferred PATH for executable binaries is /data/busybox/, and not a usual /system/bin. Interestingly, my su binaries refused to work from /data/busybox directory, so I moved them to /system/bin. Rest of the utilities and such are still in /data/busybox, but I don't know if this information is important in any way ;) Have I missed something along the way? Please help. Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bagienny:
OK, I know why su gave me permission denied when running from /data/busybox. The /data partition was mounted with nosuid. But still the applications such as ShootMe won't work.

Is this a common issue? I already went to my Gmail in my browser and youtube and regular gmail app. All of them are logged into my account. But I still don't get paid apps. EXCEPT for the ones that have been bought prior to all of this. Any help? Thank you all.
[Nook Color General] Fixter:
Any help? Still having the same issues. :/
[Nook Color General] Tschumi:
Have you tried to install the Market Enable App? Sometimes google filters the results according to the reported model/provider and it seems that they don't support the NC yet. I was able to see the paid apps by putting Verizon as my provider.

I'm trying to learn how to take hi -def movies in various video formats and convert them to a bluray format so I can burn it to a bluray disc to play on my PS3 and stand alone bluray player. So far I've tried to use avs video converter, avchdcoder, and multiavchd. It's definetly challenging to learn how to create cool looking menus, get the audio to be in sync, and not get any errors. Does anyone have a favorite software they use and any tips? Its frusturating to wait 3-5 hours to convert a movie just to find out there are errors lol. Dvds are easy to create ....it's the blurays that are challenging. I would love to hear some feedback.
[Off-topic] Tribulattifather:
Use THIS site as they helped me figure video editing out. But let me warn you about PS3 3.56 Firmware update - Sony has just made it so that it will detect a signature in pirated video; the PS3 will only play homevideos now (unless you know how to decode video ;} )
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
quick tip , convert a sample , not the whole movie when not sure about the settings
[Off-topic] stangdriverdoug:
Yeah that's a good idea. A lot of the movies come with samples. See....I'm learning.

Edit : videohelp is a really good forum....I've been using it.
[Off-topic] stangdriverdoug:
Ok so I transcoded a 8gb mkv to a bluray ISO....took 7 hours. Went to burn it using imgburn and got a error part way through. Guess I need to stop using cheap discs.
[Off-topic] AdrianK_:
Stop right there. Both your PS3 and Bluray player can play x264 (and all profilesm too, I believe), PS3 also plays xvid/divx/h263, you BD player might too.

Most HD movies that are shared used the x264 codec for video and AC3 or DTS for audio, and in a Matroska (MKV) container.

They will not play on a PS3 (and most likely BD player) due to a lack of support for mkv. You'll need to remux the file in to an MPEG Transport Stream (.ts), after you do this they should be fine on both. I'm not entirely sure if DTS can be muxed in to ts, you might need to convert it to AC3 first, no biggie.
[Off-topic] stangdriverdoug:
Well I took a shared movie and converted it to avchd using avchdcoder ....the conversion went fine and took a total of 7 hours....burned it to a blank bluray and didn't work in the ps3. The custom menu I created works fine but when the movie started is wouldn't play right. Have no idea why. When I get home ill have to take a closer look. Frusturating for sure. I can use avs video converter which is easy to use and works well but it down converts 6ch audio to 2ch.
[Off-topic] AdrianK_:
Why are you spending hours encoding video and degrading the image quality when you don't have to? *Just* for custom menus?
[Off-topic] stangdriverdoug:
Yeah pretty much. Just certain movies though. Most movies I just keep on a nas drive and watch them through my laptop which is hooked up to my home theater via wireless HDMI. It's a pretty cool setup actually.

hello

every single time i try to install a custom rom i get stuck at the HTC boot screen what am i doing wrong ??

for example i tried to install this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861690

i first rooted my phone using unrevoked then backed up my data then i go on recovery wipe data and cache then flash the zip file tried the same on couple more roms but still the same problem so i don't know what am i doing wrong please help !!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesubliminaljuggalo:
Well, the first thing to check is compatibility. That was the first thing I had to learn when browsing these forums. These forums integrate CMDA & GSM Desires. Also, they encorporate the Desire Z, the Desire, and the Desire HD.

First of all- Are you trying to flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone?

2) I see that is an HD ROM, do you have the Desire HD (I'm only assuming the ROMs labeled with "HD" in the title are meant for the Desire HD)?

Things like this are stuff you definitely have to take into consideration do the research for when browsing the Desire forums.

Hope this helps a little. (:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxSnOOpYxX:
it's under the Desire section not the DesireZ or Desire HD and the video is shows it's tested on Desire :))
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TermyJW:
The ROM in question requires you to have partitioned your SDcard to have both a FAT and EXT partition.

Have you partitioned your SDcard in this way?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxSnOOpYxX:
My SD card is in FAT32 format but what is EXT partition ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
It's a good start that when you want to flash a rom you actually read the first post and make sure you understand it.

Ext partitions are not that complicated and searching should give you all the info you need.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angusc:
Use GParted in Linux or Linux Puppy to wipe and then partion ur card. Check which type of Ext the ROM requires but usually an Ext3 or Ext4 will be required. So if u have a 8GB card make a 1.5GB Ext3 or 4 and then make the remaining space in to a Primary Fat32 partion.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmkrmr:
you can also EXT your sd card with Amon RA recovery.

you can download here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839621

read the post!!

you can use unrevoked, choose custom recovery: choose the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img

in the menu you can ext your SD card.

this method i found very easy. after you made an EXT partition you can choose to make it an EXT2, EXT3 of EXT4 whatever you like. do some reading:)

be aware: your sd card will be formatted if you make an EXT partition.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Make a nandroid and copy it to your pc. (It's in the clockwork foldermod).

Decide what version you want A2SD, D2WE or D2EXT, if you have no idea go with the recommend one.

Read the second post and create the required ext partitions. (keep in mind this will wipe your card so copy everything you want to keep to your pc)

Copy your stuff and the rom you want to flash back to the partitioned card.

Boot in to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache under advanced.

Go to "install zip from sd" and select your downloaded rom.

Wait till its finished installing.

This should be the way but it's still your responsibility.

Thx bro I will give it a try hope it works their it didn't I will restore my data :))

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woz...:
Hello all!

Just wandering if there is any app/software to test if my galaxy s I9000 has any faulty hardware or conflicting software. It seems to be quite slow at times - internet browser and market mainly, but switching between and opening apps too. I have upgraded to 2.2 from a lag fixed (OCLF) 2.1 a few months ago and it seems to be jerky and slow at times now.

I prefer not to have to lagfix again as 2.2 is not supposed to need this... am I right?

Thanks in advance.

Woz...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Try updating to JPY, in my opinion, it seems feels like a whole new ROM.. Because the reality is, I'm not sure if anyone has actually proven RFS was the problem. It's more likely that using another filesystem simply made the problem less visible.. But definitely dump the lag "fix" and update to 2.2.1

Has anyone figured out how to dual boot android and windows on an ANDROID phone yet? specifically the cdma hero?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
This is a flashable ROM from generated from Football's RUU_Vision_Orange_FR-B2B_1.85.73.2 release. It includes all applications and original vendor configuration. In other words, it is untouched with the exception of the following:

Rooted with my customized version of Superuser (required until ChainsDD releases a version with my patches).

Deodexed with moderate compression throughout.

Busybox installed in /system/xbin.

Added large APNS list to /system/etc. [Added in r2]

WWE-equivalent language support. [Added in r2]

There are no other changes. Just to be blindingly clear, this is NOT Virtuous; although a future version of Virtuous may be based on this ROM. Anyone building ROMs is welcome to use this as a base. Thanks again to Football for continuing to provide us with the latest RUUs.

Disclaimer: This is a one-time release. Unless a problem can be identified with the changes mentioned above (rooting, deodexing, etc), it will not be updated or supported. Use this as-is or find a ROM which uses this release as its' base if you would like support and/or expect to see changes.

Remember to hit the "Thanks" button if my work ends up being useful to you.

A straight swap with appropriate rename of the com.htc.launcher.apk from the 1.72 build with the Rosie.apk from this build works flawlessly and is a very easy fix for this slight annoyance.

Awesome! Thanks for testing!
