It looks liek for some reason the framerate of the created file isn't processed correctly.

I noticed you used a SageTV Recording, could you create a small recording and email it to me, or maybe PM me a download link for a small (1-2 minute) clip?
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
PM'd you a link to download a sample.

Thanks!

Additional detail

Additional detail regarding my problem - what I've discovered is that the video plays fine but it's only when the controls from Honeycomb are overlaid that the video playback begins to lag. In Rockplayer, bringing up the playback controls don't cause the video to lag, only the volume controls which are native to Honeycomb. Any additional thoughts? I'm thinking about wiping the system and starting from scratch to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks
[Xoom General] dvdcatalyst:
thanks, I'll have a look at it in the morning. I am working on a small update that includes new Xoom profiles (the settings mentioned on my website) and will take this along in the process as well.
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
Thank you!
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
Shocked but I think I figured it out

OK, I'm shocked that I've actually figured out where I was going wrong. The files I was converting and having issues with were recorded using SageTV from a cable box set at 720p. 720p is 60 frames per second and Handbrake was set for FPS to be same as source. When I changed it to 29.97 FPS, I no longer experience issues with video lagging the audio when I adjust the volume or bring up the playback controls. I don't know if this is an important find, but I don't think it's a limitation limited to the XOOM, as I noticed my conversions using the iPad preset are also limited to 29.97 FPS.

I think I can go to sleep now :)

Is it still possible to unroot a nook color once clockworkmod recovery has been installed?

Thanks,
[Nook Color General] 911jason:
Yes. You would just need to put Clockwork on an SD and use it to flash a stock image back to the Nook. I know there are threads here at XDA, don't have a link off-hand, but here's the first result on Google when I search NOOK COLOR STOCK IMAGE.

[Nook Color General] dragongunner86:
Thanks a bunch for the reply. Will search it out some more. I was confused as I heard someplace that if you could not if cwr was installed.

Again thanks.

Hello.

WP7DZExtract extracts every partition from DZ file and converts flash.bin to nb (opens by htcRIE).

My second tool WP7DZBuild builds DZ from partitions and their table (mb it will be not required, please pm me LG device owners).

By the way, files from that topic were extract using this tool.

Usage:

WP7DZExtract.exe input.dz output_dir, there input.dz is DZ ROM file, output_dir is directory.

In output directory will be created many files, one of them, flash.bin, is nb file,

just rename it to flash.nb and open it using htcRIE or any tool

.

WP7DZBuild.exe input_dir output.dz, there input_dir is directory constains flash.bin, output.dz is out file.

Note: This tools requires .Net Framework 4.0 (at least Client Profile). You can download it form Microsoft web site.

I hope it works (althrough my device is LG, but there is no way to dump or flash it's ROM). Any bugreports here.

Thanks!

I've used standart GZIPStream (works well for unpacking), but it's output doesn't equals original, i've tried to use SharpZip, DotNetZip and even gzip, but uselessly... LG Flasher doesn't work on my computer (why?), so i can't check my work, i fully hope on you, LG owners! Sorry for my english, i dislike online translators and write as i know, though my english skill is pour (too).

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Useless guy:
Everything works well. Mb you are using old version of htcRIE? Try to donwload most fresh. At least WP7DZExtract checks hash after unpacking and compares it with dz included, so if hash matchs file is successfully unpacked.

WP7DZBuild

I have been working on my own encrypt/decrypt program. The decrypting is fine, however the trick is encrypting the extracted files back into a flashable image. Using GZip or Zip on linux produces a ROM that is 200 KB smaller than the original LG C900AT ROM. The LG flasher program gives the error "ErrNum 501 Load Image."

So I tried using your WP7DZBuild tool to create a ROM and it's size is 214 MB, the original ROM is ~191.8 MB. The LG flasher program does not give an error when using the ROM built with your tool, but the ROM will not flash to the phone (LG Quantum C900). The LG flasher program just sits waiting. It seems as if the recompression of the files is the key to making the build process work. The original ROM from LG contains files that are decompressable with GZip, but using GZip to recompress results in an invalid file.

I have looked at the binary file produced when using both GZip and Zip, both contain the filename which is not included in the Original ROM . Also, looking at the GZIP file format, some of the Data headers are empty in the original ROM, but both GZip and ZIP fill these fields in.

Do you guys have any ideas as to a ZIP program/library that can output a valid Zip file for inclusion in a flashable ROM that does not include the name of the file that was compressed to make the file? Maybe the original LG encryption program deletes/zeros certain fields in the Zip file header?

Also, just taking the decrypted original ROM's files while still compressed by whatever method LG used, I can create a flashable ROM (it's actually what my phone is running right now!). I'm thinking of GZipping the files and then going back and zeroing out the fields so that the data headers match the original. Maybe that will work.

Has anybody else tried to rebuild a ROM and flash it to the phone?

[Vibrant General] roeebloch:
Hi,

I have T-Mobile Vibrant T959 phone.

This phone has 4 SW keys, and a side key to unlock screen.

How can I unlock screen with SW key (E.g. Home key)?

Thanks,

Roee
[Vibrant General] blizzard1017:
Are you saying use the home key to unlock the lock screen?

I suppose it would be possible to remap it, would probably take some serious modding though.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Don't think it's possible since the software keys turn off all functionality when the phone is asleep. Keeping them on (with or without the back light) will kill your battery even if the mod is possible.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
it IS possible, idk how but on i believe axura, but i'm not sure if thats the rom... but i'll just say axura for now because thats what i think it is..

On Axura you can press the MENU button to unlock. So i'm sure if you PM Master regarding how to do that he may answer, but he may not because he quit developing for the Vibrant a week or two ago.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
That was a bug and it was AFTER you wake the screen. If he's saying replace the side key that means he wants to wake the phone with the home key.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
OH, sorry for not understanding, yeah you can't do that because the phone itself is not waking up at all... so yeah. Is your power button not working or something?

Also, joe, if it WAS on axura, then master did tell everyone that he liked to unlock with menu key so he put it there for all, but i never knew it got removed, sorry for the wrong info i guess.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
This question is mainly for the former Captivate owners...

I am considering going from the Captivate to the Inspire. I am well aware of the hardware and software differences, so I need not to be schooled there. However, I would like to hear opinions as far as personal experiences go when going from the captivate to the inspire. Also, from a development point of view, the captivate is great because of the high competition and many choices of different custom roms...how promising is the inspire as far as develoment goes? Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
seen your post in the captivate or iphone4 thread earlier, just go get the inspire dude, hands down without doing anything to it is way faster and wya more enjoyable, havent felt like that about a phone since droid x, had captivate 6 months sold on craigslist and got the inspire and not one regret at all. way more polished then cappy for sure. and im pretty sure devolpment is alot bigger then cappys, because inspire is basically desire hd.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wpalm00:
I agree. I bought the Captivate back in August. I kept it stock for months and I was disappointed by the was Samsung treated us. Eventually I put Andromeda 1.2 and that made the phone much more enjoyable.

I am much more happy with my Inspire than I ever was with my Captivate. That includes the hard work and great job Team Komin did to make the phone good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Maliberti:
The captivate was nice but nothing like the Inspire.

I got sick of loading new Roms each week just to have it perform.

About the only Rom that worked for me was the cognition, everything else f k ed something up.

You will not be disappointed, this works right out of the box.
[HTC Inspire 4G] donharden2002:
I hope I enjoy my inspire as much as you guys do. I should be getting it mon, or tue. Can't wait to give it a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Just bought the inspire a few days ago, off contract even, after pissing off my upgrade on a captivate last November.

This phone blows the captivate out of the water.

The difference is just...stunning.

Go get this phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
Just go for it. You won't regret the change. Running a stock, rooted Inspire. Happy with it as it is right now. Just thankful to not have to flash a new Rom every few days.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bose.jhebert:
Agreed. Went from Iphone 3gs to HTC Aria, to Iphone 4, to captivate (it's sad when a low/mid phone pulls someone away from iOS to Android) to streak to inspire (all since this time last year. yeah i'm a phone whore). Inspire is by far my fav

[HTC Inspire 4G] corsairjuly:
I went from a Samsung Captivate to a Motorola Atrix (for a few days) to the Inspire. Samsung Captivate frustrated me to no end, and the Motorola Atrix build quality was just terrible. The Inspire is a great phone with superb build quality, and it's quite snappy to boot. I say go for it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] denco7:
No offense to the OP, but I think it is time to start discouraging the over abundance of these " what kind of phone should I get " or " what is your opinion of the Inspire, compared to ..........." Again, no offense to anyone, but there are already a ton of these threads. Let's just search or bump one of those and make a Hugh effort to keep this forum uncluttered
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Captivate to Inspire is like going from a Mitsubishi Eclipse to a Porsche. HTC is the most developer friendly phone manufacturer on the Android Platform. This phone has been out less than a month and we already have lots of ROM options out there including CM7.

On paper the Captivate is a great phone and it has some specs that are a little better than the Inspire, but the proof isn't on paper it's in actual phone use.

The Inspire is a solid phone with great hardware and a a thriving developer community. Make the move you won't be sorry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
None taken, however I created this thread for a very specific purpose. I am aware of other posts about "what phone should I get." I did look for a thread specifically for this topic and didn't find one. I wanted to see what other captivate owners had to say about going from the captivate to the inspire because an opinion from somebody coming from an iPhone or something else is not going to help.

Anyways, I finally decided to head down to the ATT store and picked one up. Needless to say I am very impressed with the inspire. The salesmen tried to get me to buy the atrix. He said the inspire was not only selling like hotcakes, but it outselling the atrix and said that the atrix isn't selling as good as they thought it would. I told him the deal breaker for me for the atrix was that it has a smaller screen, motoblur UI which I don't like and its not development friendly.

I can tell you this, you will not regret your decision. I can't believe the night and day difference over the Captivate. It is a whole new world.

I went from a Captivate to an Inspire and have liked it so far minus one major flaw, ROM space. On the Captivate I had loaded TONS of applications, so much so my wife constantly complained that I had too much junk on my phone. But I was testing, playing with new programs and seeing what worked for me. The Inspire has so much less space that when I initially set it up and the market tried to reload all my applications I ran out of space. I had to purge a ton of applications from my list. But since I never used many of these applications it wasn't a major issue.

That being said, I would make this trade every time, this phone is so much nicer and everything just works, including the GPS. I am very happy with the new phone and within a week of getting it I have rooted it, put on a couple tests ROMs, played with them then went back to a rooted stock ROM. So it seems development here is very lively, at least for what I do with my phone which is replace a ROM once in a blue moon. Now I have a captivate to play with as my toy phone and this phone as my work phone. Two phones for only $80 isn't bad (the original Captivate I got in August was essentially free after they rebated me $200 over the months for all the trouble then I upgraded a family line with the Inspire for $80).
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The great thing is that with Froyo from the factory, you can use app2sd with no trouble and have quite a bit more apps than you otherwise could with ROM space.

Just moved from the Captivate to Inspire. I have read most of the posts and I have to say that the Inspire is a very capable device but I loved the Captivate and ease of use and development. Cappy is a good device but the GPS and update issues it was time for a change. Out of the box the Captivate had file manager, and quite a few apps that I would use on a normal basis.

The Inspire is great Sense needs an explorer out of the box. Sense is a bit overwhelming on the phone although very well implemented; Even seems more cartoonish than TW. I really missed HTC coming from the WM world. Love how the Inspire GPS just locks and tracks. Still getting used to the Inspire and its overall experience. I think both devices were on par with power although the Cappy would lag in situations.

The Inspire is a great device that I am learning each day. It will be better once rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Totally agree with u I came from the captivate also.

The only killer about the Inspire vs the Captivate is the BATTERY!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
I actually get better life with the inspire . It took a week of charging to get there. The first week, yeah I could barely get 8 hours. But after a week I actually get over 24 hours with pretty heavy moderate use and I also flash roms often lol. Oh and I'm oc'ed to 1.5 Ghz. When I would oc the cappy my battery would just drain like I do in the morning lol.

I'm a phone addict and have to have the new phone now lol. I actually took back my inspire yesterday and got my money back then went and bought another just to extend my thirty day trial period lol just incase the the samsung infuse comes out soon lol. But I love the inspire.

As for the battery I really didn't nothing special. I just let it goto like 10% - 8% and then charge it to full every night for a week and then it began to balance out with battery life. I'm not saying I get way better battery life than the cappy, its actually just about the same. Maybe a few more hours than the cappy . And now that I got a new inspire, so far the battery is starting out the same, dieing pretty fast. So I'm gonna do the same and see if it balances out again lol. I hope lol.

I went from a Captivate to the Atrix and now the Inspire; to be honest, I wasn't too keen on the Inspire after trying out MIUI and the two HD Revolution ROMs...but after flashing CM7, I think I'm in love.

I haven't had a chance to test out the phone thoroughly, but I use GPS and Wifi Tethering a lot. We already know about the issues with Samsung GPS. And I had to reboot my Atrix 2-3 times a day because the data connection would either drop completely or slow to 14.4k levels.

Between the build quality, the screen, the software options, and the camera...I'm pretty much sold on the Inspire. I'd def recommend it to anybody moving on from the Captivate.

I got rid of my cappy because I already have a phone graveyard. I think I will recycle these soon.
