Graphic Equaliser

Hi All - I downloaded both the HTC Audio Booster and the HTC Graphic Equaliser, but even after a soft reset, the graphic equaliser didn't seem to make any difference to the sound through my headphones
..and having installed them both at the same time I couldn't figure out what the difference between the programs is. I had an icon for the audio booster that contained an equaliser function. Should there be a separate icon for the Equaliser?
Slightly confooosed

Hi there,
I also loaded the graphic Equaliser, without any success.
Maybe some kind soul will inform us what we are doing wrong

With the HTC Equaliser I really didn't notice mmuch if any difference in the sound.So I got rid of it,but if I'm not mistaken go to SETTINGS/SYSTEM you'll find the listing for it there so that you can adjust it, but your headphones have t0o be attached even to make the adjustments.If I remember correctly it will only works on wired headphones and not bluetooth.

unfortunately, it's basically how it works. To combat this, you might want to give a try to :
- SRS WOW HD (see my latets article)
- a media player with an eqaliser that sticks

Graphic Equalizer
Thanks guys! I might give it another go...

Hi All
So what is 'SRS WOW HD'. Is this a program? Where can I get it from?

It's a sound driver for WM6 devices

WOW!
Thanks Audio - fantastic!!! Appreciate your help...

WOW Driver
I installed the control panel applet, but when I run it it says the WOW driver is missing. Did I do something wrong..or is the driver contained in another download?
Thanks

Do a soft reset. The driver needs to reload.

x1 video performance worse than same specd htc devices

hello all
i have a standard xvid clip (640x272) that can only play @ 20.8fps on core player(stock rom) (with itje 10.1 ROM i get 21.3fps)
the same clip plays @ 23.8fps on the touch HD and 24.3 diamond 2(stock ROMs)
i tried so many other clips as benchmarks and its evident that the x1 is constantly %18-%20 slower than other HTC devices with identical specs (cpu and resolution)
can anyone explain this phenomena? i sure hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel

What do you have installed on it? Perhaps some background processes, like panelmanager?

come to think of it, its not just the video that is constantly slower on the x1. its the whole ROM in general (navigating between various wm programs, switching between applications....etc) is clearly much slower on the xperia even though it has the same CPU speeds (just look at an video review of the tp2 or td2 in youtube and you can clearly see how they are much faster)
even the fastest x1 cooked roms are noticeably slower than the HD,td2 and tp2 stock roms
hope SE can do something about that and i hope and i hope our chefs can eventually close the performance gap.

its actully a fresh flash (itje 10.1) with only core player installed now not even emails or contacts are added yet
do you get better performance on reasonably good quality XVID dvdrips (close to 640x272 resolutions)

What coreplayer version did you use to test? I can try installing the same and see what I get. Also, what settings?

Same problem here, videos always cease in the first seconds.
By the way, which coreplayer version is the best to use for xperia?

im not facing a bug like F-Styla as it does not suffer from the stuter i just have constant low performance compared to HD and td2
i just benchmarked the video on an ancient HTC macian and i got 39fps!!!!!!! (on qvga resolution though)
using full version of coreplayer 1.3.2

Since I discovered this great app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467590) never had a problem viewing any video. Great resolution, small size of files, no lags.
However, I heard somewhere that coreplayer can't use hw acceleration on X1. Do not know if that's true also for HTC, but that could explain the performance differences

reencoding videos is not really a solution if you ask me
-my understanding that full qtv support is coming with ver2.0
my problem is that why the heck is the x1 so much slower (in everything)than identically specd devices like the HD. is there an easy way to varify that we are runiing at the FULL 528mhz and overclock in case we are not

Somewhere here in this forum I read that actually the X1 is NOT running at full speed. I know, I have not been really precise... but with a little bit of search you can find out the thread I am talking about.

I think all HTC devices except the original XDA have video sync/playback issues. There are tons of threads on this. Get yourself a PMP to enjoy quality videos.

X1 runs at 400 mhz currently, although the processor is in fact 528 mhz. The downgrade is made in order to save power and lower heat levels. You can check the current speed by installing an app like HomeScreen++.
I would like to see what the X1 can do with the full 528 mhz, but I haven't seen any solution for it so far.
I enjoy perfect quality after I downloaded the app from the front page.

I experienced the same slowness using Coreplayer, I am using v1.2.5.
After I put a non Touch-flo on the SEX1 I did not have a slow Coreplayer anymore, so I would suggest try a different ROM and see if the problem is still there.
I am using gtrabs wm6.5 rom and I have no problem playing video on Coreplayer without reencoding the video.

-just installed it
its says im already @528 (not 400mhz). i changed everything to 528mhz on all settings but that did not help in fact for some dumb reason in getting even less performance now @19.18 fps
-installed home screen ++ but im not sure where the settings is to show current speed (will look more after i reflash)
-turned off touchflo3d also didnt help
-this 400MHZ thing seems like a major problem with the X1, are you sure its true? i would imagine a lot of noise and complaints if it were true ?
-will go and flash into a beare bones rom now to see if it helps

Thanks! That works to make it feel quite a bit snappier (I know its not scientific, but haven't benchmarked anything)

I am also having a video problem, rather than make new thread I post it here.
Well, not a single HD video plays on my Xperia now, Coreplayer tries to but its so choppy and insane which I now know doesn't use hardware acceleration.
Now after converting the video with Touch HD video converter software, WMP says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."
I also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365381
But still nothing at all.
Any solutions? Must I change ROMs to play HD videos?

weird I don't have any problem with video performance, I'm using coreplayer and they just flies!!!!!!!

thats weird. are sure your video files are good resolution
can you make sure of the resolution of the file. also did you use the benchmarking tool in core player
i changed the rom but im getting the same results

- I think its under ...options - indicators.... IIRC.
- It is major and was talked about quite a lot when the X1 was launched.

I had a similar issue when I messed up my video drivers with something I installed. The only solution was a hard reset.

Question for all chefs: AudioBooster versus SRS WOW HD

Is there any reason why there is AudioBooster preferred over SRS WOW HD (in fact I cannot see any ROM with this included)?
I am using SRS WOW HD without any issues and like it much more than AudioBooster, in fact AudioBooster is making the sound really crappy, like those old equalizers in radios and walkmans from 20 years ago whereas SRS WOW HD has a much better sound and much more functions to configure.
It's just a question to know if chefs know about that option or if there's any particular reason
Thanks.

What version of SRS are you using? Didn't it give you problems when installing on your blackstone?

Attached. Works perfect for me

Do you happen to know if it works with WM6.5?

Of course it does
I'm using Miri's WM6.5 Premium V19 and have no issues with SRS WOW HD at all. In fact, I haven't had any before, too.

Thanks! will try to install now. Wish me luck!

Install, soft reset, then go to Programs - Settings - System and you will find it there. Enjoy.

I have installed successfully but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I change the modes. Like WOWRock to WOWClassical or even to Normal. Also the Volume doesn't seem to change. Even if I put the volume to 0% it is still playing. Could this be because of the software?

Have you selected headphones under the "enable" checkbox in WOW HD Settings?

yes I did. I'm not sure why it doesn't change. Do you have an idea? I've been wanting to use this sofware for a long time.

Have you soft reset your device? Do you have AudioBooster disabled? What player do you use?

Yes I did softreset. I have not enabled audiobooster. I use WMP. It also disabled the volume changer on my phone. I put volume on WMP and on the system to 0 and it doesn't change it is still playing with the same level of volume. you are not experiencing this?

Alright.. you convinced me. It does sound better than HTC's Audiobooster. We cook it in cause it comes with every stock ROM outthere. It's more an issue of... why we dont take it out then putting it IN.
Anyway, I'll cook the cab you provided in my ROM from now on

I definately agree that SRS WOW HD sounds much better than Audiobooster. I've been using it in a few devices and many ROMs without any problem. I also install it through SASHIMI with my personalised reg settings. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev]

I am using CorePlayer and have no issues at all. I will try WMP and will let you know, but so far I have no idea why it does these things to you..
Edit: Seems like WMP is not working with this. HTC Player in Manila works fine.

WoW
Hi Mate.
Nice one.
Last time I tried wow on HD it didn't work, and I miss it.
Hey why don't you tell Miri about this?
Anyway, I can use it myself.
Thank you

I know there is a version flowing on internet which is older than mine (but higher rank in web searchers), I think 1.2.09 or so.
That version is buggy and doesn't work well, the one I have attached works just fine.

Does this cab break master volume as well as WMP?

No, this cab will not affect master volume changes, I have found only WMP not working with this.

Great find my friend, thank you.

-help-Xperia YOUTUBE panel stutter

Hey,
I recently updated my Xperia X1 to generic R3a, and then installed the Youtube app/panel onto it.
Nearly every video stutters, like the frame rate drops randomly. I dont think I noticed that issue on firmware R1A. .. so does anyon else have this issue? can someone help me diagnose it?

Uninstall all of your youtube relate cabs and install this.

Once that is installed you can play YouTube videos perfectly. The YouTube application you just installed is Google's YouTube Application.
Okay, now that it's done download the ZIP below, unzip, and install HTC's YouTube Application Cabs.
edit cant upload xda forums not working

Errr
NVM I got it installed... so this is the offical one, huh?

NVM I got it installed. So how do I get a panel?

The panels don't work anymore. I think. Atleast not after I install the new panel manager.

"New panels manager"? What do you mean? And is this new youtube app supposed to be better than the other one that supposedly worked fine on R1A? I guess ill have to settle with this one, even though this one still has stuttering (to a lesser degree).

I think you are absolutely clueless. What do you mean stuttering? Are you talking about your crappy internet connection? If so, that isn't stuttering. Sigh...

...
By stuttering, I meant that the frames dropped dramatically at random times in the video. Moreover, my connection is fine, and I tried two wifi access points.

oh that just means the Xperia is slow. Most of the time my Xperia never lags. I think R3A makes Xperia faster. Something is wrong.

Are there other people who have noticed the lag on youtube? Can anyone test it with this youtube app Otherwise than that, the Xperia is running super fast. Oh, do you reccomend a custom ROM I should try to flash it to?- Thanks

Can anyone esle try the youtube app (this one) and see if it lags? Also, poetryrocksalot, do you recommend a custom ROM I should try that can boost the speed of my xperia and youtube?

Finally A Working Android DIVX player

Here it is folks, on the market, yxflash, Check it out!
Its about time!

Believe i had this running on my 2g iPod touch. Currently doesn't playback videos smoothly, but hey, it's a start ^_^

didn't seem to work!

Worked for me, but some pauses in places and lag on the DivX moivie I tried. UI very rough. Pause/Play only in portrait mode. No menu options either while playing. Not worth paying for yet...more of a beta version.
Doooh....pauses after 2 mins because not registered! Still, UI needs work!

works fine with some glitches but 15$ for full version is insane
i'll stick with my encoding my videos

hi
how you get full version ? i havent tried this yet ... anyway besides this does anyone know when there will be an actual divx player available or is this the only one there is etc

Heeeeeeeeeelp,
can somebody help me please???????????? how can i install it?

shudnt be there more apps with an open source operating system?? :S

Market->Search->xyflash->Install ?

does it support .srt files for subtitles?

It's still pretty poor! Very laggy and crashes occasionally.
Does anyone know of any decent video player for Hero
Can't wait for Coreplayer to be released for Android.

doesnt show up when I search for it in the market

I couldn't see it either when searching on Market, but it did come up when I searched for "divx"...
go figure...

Can anyone tell me wot the performance of this app is like on the HTC HERO? Can it play the standard 700MB movies you get off the net. 512x384 resolution etc or do you have to convert it to a lower res?
THANKS

It's ****ty. I tried episodes of 180mb, and it lags like hell.
Waiting for Coreplayer..

Lol
I thought something had finally come around that works when you resurrected this thread and I saw "finally a working divx...".
This player is aweful and you'd be best sticking to converting your videos.

full version doesn't work well too... still need improve before it can start charging. i done a crack for testing as request. it seem buggy & doesn't support all divx format. please do support paid version if you think the apps worth your $$.

On a similar theme, can anyone recommend a decent wmv player?
Or more info on iPhone/Zune/mp4 compatibility of the Hero?
Thanks
Phil
