Speed vs size

For those who wonder how the various speed presets fare in terms of encoding time vs size efficiency, this was a test I did a while ago. The last two columns are what you want to know. Comparisons are relative to the default medium preset.

To sum, the best speed setting per size-time trade-off is "veryfast", where there is only a 8% size increase, but at half the encoding time. The "faster" and "fast" settings are also good choices.

The best setting for getting smallest size, but without excessive encoding time, is "medium".

ive given this setup a try on 4 DVDs so far and the quality that i have seen has been great. i have only seen one of the 4 movies so will update as ive seen the others but thus far great work. i was ready to purchase a product that does this but im pretty pleased with the results in default values.

i first thought i would not understand this style of encoding but e.motes package is easy to handle.

this is definitely a great alternative to xoom users vs. paid products. and there are many out there...

Sorry, but I am not "allowed" to post/reply in the "Android Development" page since I am a newbie. Have to post here at least ten times.. . In regards to the newest (3/2) rom, I am having the same issue with the phone dialer lag and the unlock screen timeout. I saw that some were fixed by turning off the CRT animation in the CyanogenMod settings (Display/Screen-on animation). This did NOT fix my issue with the screen timing out in 4-5 seconds.

Is anyone else using T-Mobile in areas without 3G/4G coverage? I work all over South Louisiana and have noticed that the data speeds appear to be much faster lately. I have to check websites for product in out of the way areas that may only have GPRS coverage. It normally takes me quite some time to load the pages and place orders, but lately, I've been able to load pages in about half the time using the same network and device (Rhodium 210). I was just wondering if anyone else was noticing a change.

I'm also actually posting this via the aforementioned connection in Opera Mobile. I normally would not even bother to get on XDA with such a slow connection, but I've had positive results lately.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mburke178:
ok, i rooted with buddy one click, got eng s-off, flashed to a custom rom and everything is perfect. No issues at all with the phone or card as it stands. My only question is all that was done using a 4 gig SD card that i used to make a goldcard. Can i now just simply pop in a 16 gig card and reboot the phone or do i need to make it a gold card first? and is there anything i need from the old card transferred to the new card before i do it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
No, you no longer need the goldcard in the SD slot for the phone to operate. You can remove and save it in case you ever need a goldcard again.

man, i hope they dont take forever to make the 'tough' cases.

I had it on both my nexus one and galaxy s vibrant, it was the best case ever.
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
totally agree. people who previously had barely there should try tough case, only a extra +$10 but totally worth it. made it feel so solid in the hand

Thats it! it looks like ALL the other Pop Cases... what did you expect? I think the pop case is pretty awesome, I have seen them on an Iphone 4 and it really looks great in person. I love the one piece design soft inside and the hard outer shell. Its like the Tough case, but one piece.

Just installed froyo 2.2 on my captivate and now my email notifications disappear. This is occurring with both pop3 and imap mail. What I have noticed is that when I get a new email I get the notification and it ill remain until the next time it checks for new mail. Once it does that and there isn't any new mail the notification will disappear. Has anyone else experienced this and do you or anyone else have a solution?:confused:
[Captivate General] mpr90:
I have the same problem: email notification disappears shortly after email received. Indeed, the notification sound stops playing half way through.

Did you ever resolve your issue, and if so, how?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem since the 2.2 update. No solution found yet.
[Captivate General] Darrell G:
Same problem here. Only happens with the regular mail app configured to use an exchange account, and doesn't happen every time. Gmail app works fine.
[Captivate General] guillolb:
I have the same problem.

I have my work exchange email configured through the email app. When an email arrives, the sound plays half way through and the notification goes away.

It's really annoying, because now I can't trust the notification bar. I have to actually open the email app to see if I have a new email.... Which completely defeats the purpose of the notification bar.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
A little background first:

I came from a stock vibrant with JI6, rooted it, and installed Trigger 2.6.4 along with Overstock 1.1 and then 1.2.1. Everything was working fine.

So Trigger 2.7 came out and I ODIN back to stock, flash Trigger, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. I then reboot, reboot again into recovery, and proceed to install Overstock 1.3. It is then that I'm stuck on the Overstock boot screen and end up having to go back to download mode to stock to get things working again.

Here are the steps I've been taking: (tried this a few times and redownloaded/checked file hashes just to make sure)

1. I go from stock to root to rom manager to CWM

2. I wipe to factory default and wipe cache partition

3. I install Trigger 2.7 from zip

4. I wipe Dalvik and fix permissions

5. Reboot and let it sit for 10-15 min after phone finishes booting

6. Reboot again and let it sit for about 5 min

7. Reboot to CWM recovery and flash Overstock 1.3

8. Wipe Dalvik and fix permissions

9. Reboot and stuck at Overstock bootscreen (waited about 10 min)

Am I missing any steps? If not, I cannot seem to get this combination. I loved the Trigger + Overstock combo when I had it but I cannot seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You said you checked the md5, right?

Why wipe/fp after flashing the kernel? I just reboot.

How long is it stuck at the Vibrant screen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
No md5 present for the kernel but I did check the md5 of the rom. I also redownloaded the kernel a few times and each time the md5 was the same.

I just tried your method of not wiping or fixing permissions. I get the same problem of it freezing at the Overstock boot screen. It sits at this screen indefinitely. It only shows the Vibrant screen for a few seconds before it gets stuck at the Overstock screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Hmm... consider me stumped. I will continue to research.

BT confirmed that OS works with 2.7. That said, looking over the last posts in the thread, it sounds like some people are having issues.

Maybe try s0niqu3s kernel man? I used it and loved it. Basically the same thing but without the RAM hack. Very close to stock and you may have a more stable kernel.... or atleast one that will flash for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanbb:
I'm using 2.7 with Overstock 1.3 right now. I've never had that issue.

When you tried it without wiping cache or fixing permissions was it after a fresh flash? Or did you flash over OverStock (lol).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
Yes it (Overstock) was over a fresh flash of Trigger 2.7. Per the suggestion above, I also tried the CWK and that one works just fine. Overstock just does not play nice on my phone for some reason? I just tried flashing CWK and then Overstock to see if that stepping stone method worked and I'm stuck at the Overstock screen again...

I'm pretty stumped at this point.

Back to ODIN...:(

Edit: Is there any way I can combine Overstock and Trigger together in one flash? I'm wondering if that would solve my issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
After poking around the zip file for the Overstock kernel and comparing it to the CWK that worked, I noticed that there is an extra file called NOTICE in the Overstock one. What is that file used for? Would it be safe to remove it? Does anyone think that might be the issue? Another possible theory of mine would be to just transfer the two kernel files from Overstock to the CWK zip and replace those 2 files there. What do you think?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roumenjr:
I'm running Trigger final and os and never happens to me. I do not wipe anything before or after flashing overstock. Once done with a fresh trigger, simply flash os.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
Is it possibly the RAM hack in Overstock that might be an issue? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roumenjr:
Are you running anything else: per say set CPU?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidium:
Nope just a fresh flash of Trigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdbouchard:
I'm having the same exact problem as Androidium. Only difference is Ive tried flashing Overstock on multiple roms with no luck. I've noticed the problems after using Deadhorse. Could that be the source of the problem?

How about Odin back to stock with repartition checked and starting over?
[A7 General] desolom:
I updated my new A7 with the Dexter 1.3 Mod (no additional patches). The update went fairly smoothly, but the tablet went into a loop and kept showing the ELocity Boot Up Screen for about five minutes. I was afraid that I had "bricked" it, but I eventually I tired of seeing it loop over and over again and started pressing the recessed reset on the back of the device. Fortunately, it booted perfectly and has been running very well for several days. Bluetooth is unavailable, but that is inconsequential to me.

One problem was that when attempting to read gmail or Google Docs the screen would not let you page. I discovered that if your turned the device from horizontal to vertical it paged without a problem. If you then turn the tablet back to horizontal it will still page perfectly. The problem seems to be with the Rom Update Software recognizing the orientation of the device (horizontal or vertical) when you first reach Gmail. I believe there is a physical device inside the tablet that notifies the software once the tablet has been flipped.

This is not a big deal. The Dexter Mod is excellent. I just thought people might be interested in knowing that they can get gmail and Google Docs to work perfectly once they change the orientation of the device.

Maybe someone can pass this along to Dexter.

Thank you.
[A7 General] jtodaro:
There is a Bluetooth Fix that will resolve the issue. Put it on the sd using the exact same process as you did with Dex Mod v1.3, however do not do a wipe beforehand. What this will do is update the v1.3 rom with only the additional bt fix. It resolves the issue nicely.

As for Google Docs, I haven't tried it yet, but could it be that it is not optimized for a tablet? Might also want to check for an update on the market, just to make sure.
[A7 General] jtodaro:
Link to BT Fix is right under the v1.3 download link on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890042
[A7 General] desolom:
Thank you. I did see the Bluetooth fix, but I saw some later posts that said the patches caused additional freezing of the UI.

Additionally, I was not clear about how to apply the patch. Should it be after I do the initial Dexter 1.3 update? Also, it does not appear possible to get into recovery mode anymore on my tablet. Holding the power button for 2 seconds, then 5 seconds does nothing.

I assume that attempting to run the update from a running A7 would result in disaster? Or am I wrong.

I would be grateful for any assistance that you might be able to provide.

Thanks again.
[A7 General] tetsuo_shima:
That's strange that recovery won't boot......I believe you can just perform an update from within the settings screen. Just remember to change the name of the bluetooth fix to update.zip.

Just in case: are you shutting the tablet down all the way?

Then just press the power button until the light on the power button turns on then immediately press the power button and hold until you see the booting into recovery message. When you see that message let go of the power button.
[A7 General] desolom:
Thanks to all of you who answered my post. I solved the problem, but not in the way I expected.

I always managed to get the device into the proper mode to update it, but I never got the menu that I did when I originally updated the device with the latest Stream TV (Elocity Now) firmware update. When I did the update from Elocity I got a full GUI interface to the update.

After the Dexter Mod I only got to an update script by hitting the back (hardware button) and then the home button). Eventually, with some trepidation, I realized that I could install the Dexter Patch in that fashion. Maybe that is the way it is supposed to work. However, I did not realize it at first and I had a great fear of bricking a new $350.00 device.

It is my first tablet device.

With the Dexter Mod it is really a good device. Everything (including Bluetooth) is now working properly.

I bought this device to teach myself how to develop database Apps with SQLite and that remains my intention.

Thanks to all those that replied to my email.
[A7 General] garys221:
After reading all the threads I could find I decided to give it a go figuring the worst that could happen was that I would need to return the tablet.

Here is what happened.

I to got the looping elocity boot screen but was unable to correct it by use of the hard reset button. So I decided to take another tact. I held the power button down forever until it turned off. I removed the SD card. I then got into the reboot screen again and erased all user data and cleared the cache. I then rebooted and it worked.

I may not have needed to clear the cache but what the heck. Anyway it appears that there may be some conflict when the card with the update is left in the tablet for the initial reboot.

One thing that I did due before installing the update was to buy a new SD card. I realize I could of formated an existing card but hey for $10 it was just easier.

I also made sure that after I downloaded the mod that I renamed it Update though I couldn't find anything on the elocity site that specifically indicated the need for a capital "U".

Hope this helps someone.

Any word on if there will be an Odin One Click for the official Froyo 2.2 KB1? If so, will it be able to incorporate the ability to recieve OTA updates? I've looked in many obvious threads including, the development section as well as the Odin One Click thread.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Doesn't KB1 come with a newer recovery that needs to be downgraded regardless? So why not just flash back to JF6?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Any more updates, I wouldn't hold my breath, won't be OTA. AT&T learned it's lesson with the JH7 fiasco.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
You can just use Odin3 to get back to JF6, then reinstall the Froyo update via Kies. Done it a half dozen times already.
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
I am aware that I could flash back to jf6 and go from there. Just curious if odin would make a kb1 is all. I agree, hopefully att learned from ota update fiasco. When I first got my captivate, I was shocked to see that samsung didn't provide a desktop software cd that would allow your pc to download and push updates similarly with blackberrys and the blackberry manager software or iphone with itunes. For that reason alone is why i found myself on xda trying to find out how to update. I now know that is what the samsung lies is for. But that could still be provided with the phone for the average end users who don't rom their phone.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
ODIN ONE CLICK (and ODIN3) are utilities made by Samsung, and how it was compiled is unknown, SO.. it cannot be "torn apart" and redone with froyo.

however there are some automated systems out, HEIMDALL and the new Captivate toolbox using HEIMDALL, may come out with easy froyo flashes,

and dont forget about froyo's 3e recovery, updated rooting, updated unlock, ect... it just adds more things to do to load a new custom rom..

so unless you want to flash froyo stock and leave it there, there isnt much point.
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
I am keeping a copy of the stock froyo firmware in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=963403 Just in case I need to send it back. I have used Heimdall to flash it a couple of times so far.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Wait, so I can just flash that prior to sending my phone to ATT as opposed to odin to JF6 then Kies to KB1?
[Captivate General] illmatic90:
Something like this would definitely be handy.
[Captivate General] xhozt:
+2 a Odin kb1 would make life easyer
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
Maybe, :-/

It depends on what you end up with when you flash it... as there are only the four (cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin and zImage) files in there. if the rom you flashed has other stuff that won't get over written I guess you might ind up with some sort of Franken ROM and worst case a brick. If you arn't sure what you have done to or have on your phone then I guess you ask in your roms help thread what is the approved method of returning to stock from their rom... some have various lagfixes and such that can require a specific procedure.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Even Odin leaves behind remnants of things from your previous usage. I just sent two phones back and had to Odin both. I then did master clear and still there was some stuff left that I had to delete manually. I doubt AT$T has the manpower or time to go through every returned phone looking for custom ROM remnants. To insulate them from any claims of having access to a customer's private information that may have been left on the phone by a less tech savvy user, they probably just wipe them when they get them or toss them in a bin to be used as repair parts.
