Nope, if the processor was capable of encoding 1080p, the video won't be just an upsampled version of the 720p video. It would be a true 1080. It's not the sensor alone that's responsible for the video quality - there are the lenses and the hardware encoding. And these (especialy the lenses) have the negative impact on our video recording IMO.
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
If not full HD then least some workaround to improve the current state. Audio really suck and video I dark most of the times. Really disappointed with the video quality on desire HD

[Desire HD General] Potion2:
to be able to record in 1080p would be great enhance but I bet changing from stock sd card is required it seems. class to won't do good with 1080p recording. correct me if I'm wrong
[Desire HD General] jm1973:
I wouldn't have thought a Class 2 card would anywhere near fast enough for full HD.
[Desire HD General] Andr3wKay:
would you really notice the difference from 720p to 1080p if shot through the same lens? :confused:
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Not with these lenses :)
[Desire HD General] serro90:
the lens is capable enough to record 1080p,its the processor issue,because the new galaxy s2 has 8mpixel camera aswell and is capable of recording in full hd 1080p,so i was wondering,if i overclock my cpu to 1.2ghz,which i already done,will there be a solution?
[Desire HD General] perern:
Galaxy S2 has a dual core CPU.

We would need that, if we ever manage to capture in 1080p it would just be a slideshow because the CPU cant keep up.

[Folio 100 General] rgmochales:
one quick question in setting up the upgrade from 1.3d to 1.4:

When using Titanium Backup, I back up all user apps + system apps.

Once upgraded to 1.4 can I restore also system apps, or I can mess something doing this? It's better to restore only user apps?

Thanks
[Folio 100 General] xitrumch:
You don't need to use any apps to restore after upgrade. All the apps should still be there if u only did an upgrade without a reformat factory settings
[Folio 100 General] rgmochales:
Thanks but if I understand correctly the Dexter's instructions, he recommends to do a Wipe (Factory Reset) before and after installing the ROM. In such a case, I guess that all apps and settings will be lost. And then, it is when I gess I need to restore from a previous backup or otherwise I would need to restore everything manually, app by app.
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
Even if you don't wipe out you apps and data, it maybe be better if you do a backup in case something goes wrong... Bad things happens when we least expect :-)
[Folio 100 General] rgmochales:
OK, but my original question remains:

Once upgraded to 1.4 (and making a wipe) can I restore also system apps by using Titanium Backup, or I can mess something doing this? It's better to restore only user apps?
[Folio 100 General] xitrumch:
What system apps that you want to back up with Titanium? I recommend you to check the change log from each of Dexter version to see if any of your system apps is being changed in the new update or not. If it's changed in the new update then don't back up it, otherwise it's safe to do so.
[Folio 100 General] rgmochales:
OK, thanks. That's what I did.

Since after installing the ROM, all applications there were the ones coming with the ROM, I didn't restore any existing app, assuming it is already the last and correct version. I was therefore restoring only those missing, and it worked fine. The only problem, I guess, is that by doing this way I didn't restore the app data for those apps coming with the ROM. Not a major problem.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bctf1:
I have a rooted Aria running Liberated FR007. I have 2 homescreens that contain custom application shortcut icons. When I turn the phone on the icons on one of the homescreens always reverts back to the default icon. This happens every time I power cycle the phone and only 1 of the homescreens reverts back to the default icons. Restarting LPP always restores the custom icons for this homescreen until the phone is power cycled again.

Any idea of how I can resolve this?

[A7 General] tumpy:
Update. with a cap U name of file. It will not work.
[A7 General] sagggas:
Also, downloads for Dexter's mods have historically been buggy for many users. The file you download (through 1.3) should be around 100MB. The exact size varies between versions. If the above suggestions don't work for you, try downloading the file again.

If you still have issues with the downloaded file, other users have found download success by using a browser download plugin called flashgot. It only works with Firefox and Thunderbird though.

http://flashgot.net/
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
I had an issue with the download with similar results to yours. My download was only about 63K whem it should of been a little over 100MB.

I had to start down loading the 1.2 update, that would start to download the whole 1.2 file. I'd cancel the download then download 1.3. For some reason after that it downloaded the complete 1.3 update file and I was able do the update.

So, check your downloaded file size and see if that's you issue. Also make sure you rename it Update with a capitol "U".
[A7 General] mattduck:
how long does the download take? i followed the instructions and my screen went to a picture of an android? and a box and stayed that way.
[A7 General] sagggas:
Did you boot into recovery (1. by turning off the unit, then power it on by holding the power button for a second, release, and then hold again until the recovery menu pops up), or did you use the settings menu to run the Update file (2. Open Settings > About device > System updates > Update device)?

If you did option 1, the soft keys on the side of the tablet allow you to navigate from the image you reference (android robot & box):

Search Key = Up

Back Key = Down

Home Key = Menu

Menu Key = Select

When you see the robot, press the Home key to take you to the update menu. Navigate the menu to clear your cache. After the cache wipe is complete, select the option to install Update.zip. Give it about 10min to run through the update, and it should reboot. If it reboots into an Elocity Logo loop, long press the power key until it shuts down. Your next boot should take you into a properly functioning tablet. Depending on the version of the OS you currently have installed, the update may retain your current apps and settings.

I haven't tried option 2 in a while, but it should do everything for you automatically - but it will probably factory reset the tablet and you'll lose any previously installed apps.
[A7 General] mattduck:
thanks. Did not know this when i posted found out byaccident when wipinfg off fingerprints. Wish they sent directions with the A7.
[A7 General] sagggas:
NP. Did exactly the same thing back in December.
[A7 General] t_sandat8:
if you have not solved your issue I believe I had simular problem. the file when you download is already a .zip file. So when you rename it just rename it "Update"
[A7 General] rharrad:
Another newbie here with a question.

My new A7 is due to be delivered tomorrow.

From what I have gathered so far from this board is that the Dexter Mod allows you to get apps from google marketplace, correct?

I am not sure which version of firmware will come on the A7 but I am going to assume that it will not be the latest one released in February.

My question is should I do the firmware update first, and then download and install the Dexter Mod?

Thanks in advance.
[A7 General] sagggas:
Dexter's mods have all been based on firmware updates from Elocity. He has kindly added market functionality and fixed a few bugs. I don't see any value in updating with Elocity's firmware prior to installing Dexter's latest.
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
As the other poster said there is no need for the elocity 7 update but if I were youI would keep it handy. I had a problem with the mod and had to reset the device with the old firmware. Also it seems a weird problem with android reading the file as when reading in astro the upddate.zip looked like update.zip.zip. w

Wierd.

So you just write update i dont even capitalize it.

Also want to add as newbie to andrid as well and it makes a huge difference in performance too. Think it is fast now when you put the mod it seemed to increase overall performance for me which I did not expect.

Good luck

[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
That is not an android problem. That is what happens when windows explorer is set to hide known file extensions and people dont think when remaming things.
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
Please do not insult people because we lack knowledge which is why we are here to figure out what is going on. I had no idea windows explorer was set to hide file extensions. I never set it that way nor was i ever told before now. Now that I know i can do something but I was thinking, maybe i do not know what i am doing but you could offer help without making me feel like an idiot.

Rob
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
So it is not OK for me to point out an obvious mistake (seriously, this one is like calling grass purple). BUT it is perfectly fine for you to assume that it is a "problem with android" and disseminate misinformation like its your job.

Yup, I am obviously in the wrong.
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
It is obvious to you. I made a mistake and never said I was an expert and pointed that out in my response by saying I was a newbie too and this was what happened to me and my best guess was what I said. I never said I knew it was an andriod glitch but because I had no other idea until someone like you with more knowledge chimmed in.

All I am saying is you could have corrected me as a newbie with a sense of friendship and not superiority. I was sharing my experience to help someone else. That is all I want to do. I am no expert and am learning as I go.

I have seen others in linux forums when i started with that with the tone. Maybe it seems like thecolor of grass to you but is not so obvious to others. If I sounded like I was telling people mis information then I apologize. That was not my intention.

It is up to you how you treat others and if it feels like the right thing then that is your right. Just understand that some of us are not out to show we are smarter than anyone else and are just trying to help even when we make wrong assumptions.

Thanks for correcting me and setting the record straight.

[A7 General] jtodaro:
Noticed an advantage DexterMod v1.3 on the A7 has over the Galaxy Table in that it has Leap/Peap auth protocol by default, however the Advanced tab under wireless does not allow you to set a proxy server on the A7, but it does on the Galaxy. Am I missing where I can set a proxy server for the wireless and/or browser, or is this just not available with the stock browser?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grindingbob:
Hi all,

In the app I'm developing I will need to be able to send arbitrary files (probably many at a time) to known and previously paired bt-enabled devices. Is there any way to bypass the discovery dialogue and the devices list by somehow providing a registered intent with the address of a device, say, through a putExtra call? In other words, I will already know the bt mac addresses, so I won't be needing the extra discovery and user input.

Downloading an alternative bt app that is capable of this would also work for me. So far I've tried to use the services offered by both "androbex" and "bluetooth file transfer" but with no luck.

I'm developing for a Samsung Tab, android-8.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Hi, all the Gurus.

This is my first post, so please bare with me.

I didn't know where to post this question, so it's posted here and on "General"...:o

I want to manually input a frequency of say, 130.890 MHz to the radio, but it goes up to only 108.000 MHz.

Is this possible with some app? Or is the device (I9000) even capable of that?

Thanks, all, and Regards.

Hi everyone

I am hoping someone can help me with my phone.

My phone was running 2.1 JF3 and i wanted to upgrade to 2.2 JPY firmware through kies.

I had previously installed a lagfix when i first got the phone but could not remember which one and couldnt find the original thread so i figured i will do the update wipe everything and be up and running.

So, the kies update failed just hanged at 0% when flashing.

So i went the odin route with JPY and this also is hanging.

After reading abit more some people have suggested that JPY does not include the dbdata info if it is damaged so i have tried JPU update with 3 files and 512.pit / repartition selected.

When i try this i get:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> boot.bin

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The update hangs at boot.bin with what looks like the start of a blue progress bar below the yellow triangle.

Phone is now stuck with only download mode available.

Can anyone suggest something else for me to try?

It seems like a problem with partition / dbdata i think.

I have the dbdata.rfs.tar file and think i may try this with odin but not sure where to put it.

Any suggesions greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks for reading
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
Did you definately have the 512 .pit file slected and re-partition selected when you did your flash? If so then I would guess that you must have been using a lagfix which converted your file system from RFS to something else (EXT4 maybe?) and now Odin can't write to it. Personally I have no idea how to fix this, it would probably help if you can find details of which lagfix you had installed as then the dev of the lagfix may be able to advise you. I'll be watching this thread to see what the fix is!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] afy:
Thanks for the reply, that doesnt sound too good but does make sense.

The lagfix probably did involve switching filesystems, i remember i did it through ADB maybe 5 - 10 lines of code though to be honest didnt fully understand the implications of what it was doing. i know i had issues with not being able to install some software due to size issues even though i had plenty of space on the internal and external sd card.

If i find time later ill have another trawl

I have just retried the flash with 512 and repartition as i listed above and the same result.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
download something that has 3 files and PIT and also contains 'dbdata' i think JM8 has this or even darkys 9.2 resurrection (odin version)

i had the same issue and darkys 9.2 fixed it... flash it thru odin (onnly comes in 1 file)

select PIT (512) and tick re-partition. that should do it..

flashing over a lagfix is not good, but it is fixable....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] afy:
Hi guys, i tried darkys resurrection and JM8, both were prety much the same as when i tried the JPU rom (3 files + 512 pit partition selected). I tried a few others as well but every one would hang at the start.

After another failed flash, eventually the phone went off completly and died. Couldnt get back to download mode. tried removing battery, charging etc.

So i looked up my nearest service centre luckily 30mins away in bradford and went there. I told them a kies update had gone wrong, they were not suprised at all and said it happens all the time. They looked at it and said it would need to be sent to another service centre as it was totally dead where they have a tool to "force the update on to the chip". He also said "i've no idea how it got into this state" :confused: Me too !

So i just have to wait for them to get back to me, as there is no physical damage it should be covered under warranty at no extra cost. Looks like im stuck with a trusty nokia for a week !
