I think if it were a tegra 2 issue, then it would at least try to play and freeze up - if it fails to play outright with no try it is a codec issue
[Xoom General] keitht:
The ones I personally have would try to play but stutter and no sound. Not sure what is different from the sample he provided.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
The sample I provided is very high quality 720P.

Format profile : High@L5.1

Format settings, CABAC : Yes

Format settings, ReFrames : 9 frames

Muxing mode : Header stripping

Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC

Duration : 1mn 52s

Bit rate : 6 478 Kbps

Nominal bit rate : 5 660 Kbps

Width : 1 280 pixels

Height : 720 pixels

Display aspect ratio : 16:9

Frame rate : 23.976 fps

Color space : YUV

Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0

Bit depth : 8 bits

Scan type : Progressive

Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.293

It hits like 23000Kbps+ bit rate during the birds flying. That is why if it can play this video smoothly it can play anything.
[Xoom General] AzimuthMedia:
I have played a 1080p MKV that I have used handbrake to convert to MP4 (actually becomes an M4v when done) using the basic settings that have been floating around and it has a terrific pic with no breakups, perfick sync, but it seems like in the very beginning of playback, the framerate drops a tad.

I planned on converting the great 'Bird' shot tonight, but find I only have the episode in 720p, so I guess not.

BTW- my conversion calls for the quality to be based on 3.9GB filesize cap, as I recall someone saying 4GB was the max size for Android. Is this true? Haven't bothered to test that yet.

EDIT- I re-read the thread, and realize you all only need that bird shot in 720p. I'm back on it!
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Thats the max file size for Fat32. I am pretty sure that Honeycomb is running EXT4, so there should be no file limitation. I may be wrong though.
[Xoom General] AzimuthMedia:
Now I realize muyoso may want this test to be playing the Birds in High Profile. I'm so excited by all this mad rush of info, I'm not reading these posts clearly enough!
[Xoom General] AzimuthMedia:
So I re-encoded the 720p rip of Planet Earth Episode 1 using my (everybody's) settings in HandBrake to MP4. The picture looks great, and the birds cause no slowdown. I venture a guess that this neither proves nor disproves a thing.

I did notice that the playback suffers a bit from what I think is referred to as 'Jutter'.

Yes, I'm disappointed that we don't get the massive codec support we wanted, but I feel like VLC has to be right around the corner- there is a need! But I am still ultimately happy to be able to watch the files on the road (flight attendant) that I never could before on my once-top-o-the-line netbook: namely, the BR rips I've been accumulating and watching at home!
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Yea, I would expect it to play when its converted. If ANYONE would be active in the Notion Ink forums maybe I could get someone to test it out there. Literally there hasn't been a new post there in the last 3 hours.

The thing about VLC or Rockplayer is that they are not going to do anything if the device cannot hardware accelerate the video. They may optimize playing the video by utilizing the CPU instead of the GPU, and maybe that would be enough for at least 720p mkv files since the Tegra 2 has a dual core, but its always better and smoother to use the GPU with hardware acceleration to play videos. I don't think its a codec issue so much.

For example, on my Epic4g 720p plays fine in any format, but the instant I try and play a 1080p video I get a "file not supported" error in the stock player. I can fire up Rockplayer and try the 1080P movie and it doesn't give an error but it plays horribly because its trying to decode 1080p using a 1ghz hummingbird processor, which is not enough by a longshot.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
If you post at Notioninkhacks.com instead, you will definitely get a good response soon.

XDA notion ink is not as active
[Xoom General] Synner-Sam:
I have used double twist to copy over movies to my droid x before. It re-encoded them with no problem and they played flawlessly! I installed it on my desktop(obviously...but just throwing it out there)...and on my droid x. Not sure if dt will work on my xoom,but I will try and update soon. For the interim thou you can try to encode them using dt and just copy them to the xoom. Ill try this and let everyone know. I know its been a big pain playing movies efficiently on android devices...my biggest problem was the audio not syncing with the video
[Xoom General] Keror0:
Am I correct that HandBrake Normal preset is only Main Profile? So you are end up converting 720p High Profile to Main Profile in order to get it play on the Tegra 2?
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I have some 1080p clips from my high def cam converted to 720p that play fine on my Xoom
[Xoom General] patass:
I honestly think that once VLC gets released (soonish) this wont be a problem anymore.
[Xoom General] Keror0:
I don't think so, this is a Tegra 2 limitation, RockPlayer already able to enable hardware acceleration to play the clip but only if 720p and 1080p clips are encoded with H.264 Main Profile or below and without B-Frame. I also tested no such limitation for 480p.
[Xoom General] joeearl13:
Just a note to those of you with issues with M4V files - as long the M4V doesn't use AC3 audio encoding or Apple's DRM then it is exactly the same as an MP4 - you can just change the file extension and it will play in the stock video player.

Thankfully most M4Vs I've got my hands on seem to be encoded with AAC so they work just fine.
[Xoom General] Bilhouse:
Damn man. It would have been nice to just simply drag, drop and play all these video files.

[Xoom General] huilei:
Did you try Mobo Player? It's literally the best video player for Android. 720P AVI video (about 2 hrs long, 2.6GB large) plays pretty well on my Xoom without any lag
[Xoom General] muyoso:
That has to ravage your battery. It would be maxing out both cores doing software decoding for 2 hours. I would love to see someone test the battery life for hardware accelerated video vs a software solution like Moboplayer.
[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
but no high profile hd.
[Xoom General] galtom:
Bit of time has passed and this is how Exynos (in a phone) looks now:

http://www.androidauthority.com/the...amsung-galaxy-s-ii-benchmarks-revealed-12772/
[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
wow, tegra 2 runs almost as good as a1.2 ghz exynos on an older os. quadrant means nothing btw. according to quadrant my evo is better than the xoom.

I would like to see how it handles video decoding. that's a subject that tegra does poorly on... and browsing xda.
[Xoom General] galtom:
It makes sense.

Just read the article:
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Those test were performed in Febubary. When the Exynos was clocked at 1GHz -- it is also possible Samsung could have made some changes in this time period as well... however, unlikely.

Edit: According to GSMArena, the 1.2GHZ Exynos is supposed to offer a 25% speed increase.
[Xoom General] galtom:
There is a small :-) difference in Mhz though...
[Xoom General] raj_8888:
Tegra 2 issue

The statement that "there is no tablet that can play HD flawlessly" is wrong. I am using a Superpad model with IMAP X200 processor and it plays all video format's flawlessly.

The same video's if i try in my Tegra 2 tablet, it doesn't work at all or some times work like in slow motion with no sync in audio and video.
[Xoom General] galtom:
And it runs (by default) Honeycomb? ;-)
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).

first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.

I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.

are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
what lagfix did u use
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1.tar

voodoo lagfix courtesy of Supercurio. Flash in ODIN as PDA.
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix

I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
I thought I read that voodoo didn't work with 2.2, only 2.2.1
[Captivate General] xtracrispy69:
I'm running stock 2.2 with no lag. I formatted my external sd and that fixed my initial lag problem
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
If i understand you, you had lag problems after upgrading to 2.2, and then resolved them by formatting the external (removable) sd card?
[Captivate General] mikejames07:
I just upgraded and it seems very snappy to me. It's not my everyday phone anymore so I don't have a SIM or external SD in but from just fooling around with it for about a half hour it moves nicely! About to root now and remove the bloatware
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Ok so thanks no one for helping. Did I mention u have no computer? No one can give me a damn link?
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Reading does wonders for problem solving.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Yes hello I can read. I have NO COMPUTER to run odin on. Is it really that hard to not be a smartass and help someone out???? Really??? If Im still asking obviously im overlooking it. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NO COMPUTER SO ODIN IS OUT OF THE QUESTION
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
If its that much of a lag, then something didn't load right. I'm on stock 2.2 wirth no lag. Its just about as fast as oclf. But, if you read the [official] froyo update thread, people kind brush on what ideas to try. Most of them say, like I said, something want loaded right. Good luck.
[Captivate General] Redine761:
Honestly if there's nobody posting to help u out....that means u should probably find a computer to use
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Learn to read

No ones answering because a search with one word gives him the info he needs. He just refuses to read and wants the info handed to him on a silver platter.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Respect goes along way in these forums. How did you expect people to reply to this? Everyone understands you have no pc. Yelling is going to get you no where. The hour you spent waiting for a reply, could have been used to do a search for it, find it and do it.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Ok so....i found the

voodoo 5 stable for 2.2.1 yes I know I only have 2.2

downloaded it

renamed it

put it in /sdcard

rebooted to recovery with CWM clicked reinstall packages

Went through its process and said it failed..could not verify or something. Is this not the way to do it? I did it on 2.1 same way w/eclair approved voodoo and it worked just fine. And I apologize for getting upset its just a little tedious doing all this searching on a small phone screen.
[Captivate General] zippox180:
Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo
[Captivate General] zippox180:
And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.:(
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
*sigh* well poop on that....i give up for the night....it makes my phone jump from around 900 quadrant too almost 1800 that's why I really want it
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Thats the thing I have wifi for other reasons, just no computer. I'm really not into custom roms. Ilike stock minus bloatware with root and lag fix that's about all
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Install this. Moded 3e recovery without verification.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

And then this. The kb1 version. Lagfixed stock.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870760

Both can be done with just a phone I believe.
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
can someone point me in the right direction to find the correct version of Odin (and maybe a few tips on it's use)? I found Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.03 and get an image path error followed by some chinese characters when I open it, and when I select the PDA image, point it to the tar file it says invalid image type, and gives me the chinese error again.

Plus I don't see any option about repartitioning (I've read that it needs to be unchecked) so I don't think I've got the right version here...

I read the wiki, and it doesn't have any links to the multi downloader, just the one click.
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
Anyone?
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
Odin_3v1.0

If flashing firmware or kernel, put the tar file in the pda section, then put the phone in download mode and hook it up via USB. When Odin shows a Com Port in one of the boxes with yellow highlighting, hit start, and see the firmware being flashed to the phone. Once Odin port window is blue, and status says done, it's safe to disconnect the phone from the USB cable. IF you get an message about gadget serial drivers being needed and the port box never turns yellow, you need to look for the proper drivers.
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
Thanks. Will give it a try in the morning and report any trouble... On my way back from skiing in Maine now :)
[Captivate General] droptopmas:
Thank you. This worked great. Quadrant score improved about 600 points and the phone is much snappier. feels at least as quick as on 2.1, even though on 2.1 my Quadrant score was ~2200, and it's only 1515 now on 2.2...
[Vibrant General] sparks.calvin:
Hello, Im sure this has been posted and I do apologize as I tried searching and could not find anything.

I just wanted to know why if I am downloading a file or streaming a video my data will just cut off.

I would understand if I were moving or going from tower to tower however this will happen without even moving the phone.

I can be getting a good 3 signal 3g service and for no reason drop to E causing my file download or stream to just stop and often be restarted from the beginning.

Is this just something T-Mobile does to prevent high data usage similar to throttling as it has happened on more than just this device for me.

I almost feel like they send out a signal to interrupt your service if they notice you are using what they feel is a large amount of Data

Just wandering if anyone else has noticed this or if T-Mobile really is shysty enough to send out interrupts to disrupt data flow
[Vibrant General] regP:
Could be your connection just timed out. T-Mo's data connection has a pretty high latency so I wouldn't be surprised if it has trouble maintaining a connection for an extended period of time.
[Click General] maaanu:
Hello,

First of all, I'd like to thank Kalimucho a lot for his great work :)

If you stop by Toulouse, FR, let me know, and let's have a beer :)

I've got a problem with GPS on that Rom...

I can't get a signal. GPS is activated, but does not seem to catch a satellite...

I've already flash to Froyo roms, and have activated GPS on it (it works).

But that does nothing on ginger...

I can't flash a 1.6 rom, because of Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5... (and some error about edify script...)

So, how can I solve that problem? because everyone seems to have GPS working...

Thanks in advance.

And thanks again Kalim :)
[Click General] eim21048:
share my experience

1. download Kalim's froyo to your sd card

2. go to recovery mode , backup the whole system

3. wipe all the user data, cache twice (ensure all deleted)

4. choose kailm's froyo and gapps to update your system , reboot it

5. enable GPS in kailm's froyo (test the GPS now), if ok, not disable it, reboot to recocvery mode.

6. wipe all the user data, cache twice (ensure all deleted)

7.choose kailm's gingerbread and gapps to update your system, reboot it.

8. test the GPS now.

9. if everything ok. reboot it to recovery mode and then choose advance restore to restore the "user data" (don't restore cache, boot and system).

This is working for me. Sorry for my English.
[Click General] christick:
As eim2148 says, GPS must be activated when you flash to the Gingerbread ROM.
[Click General] maaanu:
Yes, you're right, but I thought I had done that when flashing back to froyo and then ginger again...

I'll follow eim21048's instructions, and I hope it works.
[Click General] maaanu:
eim21048, I followed every exact step of your instructions, and it seems to work.

I think I made a mistake before.

Thanks a lot :)

Help

I have been scouring the internet and found so many posts and so many videos but none apply to my situation as of yet. I am trying to flash windows 7 to my hd2 so i can eventually dual boot 7 and android, the various instructions say put on windows 7 first.

I have spl-2.10.0000 8g xe in my tri color screen.

I installed activesync on my xp machine, still could not succeed flashing

then i installed windows mobile center on my windows 7 laptop and then still had no success flashing.

The problem i am having is it is stuck on the htc screen, then magdlr113 takes me to recovery screen and i have to reboot my device.

Various websites say i need to install a leo master radio, but i could not find one for 2.10.0000 8gxe. i found one for other firmwares.

What do i need to do, can i get clear cut response without a one worder, if i need to downgrade my firmware please point me how to do it and where to download the files, please help me so i can get past this, i have unlocked iphones and flashed blackberries, so i am really stuck with this one. Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] reeg420:
This order...

flash latest stock rom. If tmous radio version should be 2.15....

Unlock with HardSPL3

flash madgldr

Flash wp7

would give links but on my phone.

Pretty sure you haven't installed hardSPL3...dont remember exactly what it says but should be version hardspl2.08

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TIGGAH:
Your issues are talked about in detail all over the forums. A little effort would give you all the answers.

1) live account you must call microsoft and get a code (this will fix marketplace)

2) Go to HTC apps in marketplace and download connection setup. It will fix your mms issues

Yes i got everything working, the mms, works, the carrier settings work, i followed the post about the live services, i called microsoft to get an activation key, i've got a stable twilight ROM installed, i had to downgrade from a 16gb memory card to an 8 GB memory card because my device was resetting itself, and i read on here about the memory card issues, so i re-flashed to another memory card, and did everything above so now everything works really well, im almost nervous to mess with the android dual boot, but i think after a few days or so i will attempt it, once im comfortable with this rom's performance. Thanks for checking back up on me.
