JP6 Issues

The first thing I noticed was the need to download and install a new version of Task Manager through the Market.
Reinstalled all applications through AppBrain as the Market did not retain the record of my downloads.
Added Apps to my Home screens with no worries.
Today after Power Off the phone took ages to restart. Holding down the power on button solicited a vibration from the phone and then some time later the phone started.
After Power Off some of the applications on my Home screen disappeared:
Angry Birds
Cestos 2
Find Differences
Meteorlite WVGA
Slugs
After adding them back to the home screen I switched off again and back on. Same issue.
Same applications disappeared from the home screen and another App called Open Sudoku.
Anyone experiencing these issues on their i9000.?
Thinking of doing a factory reset of the phone, clearing the cache, format internal memory. Complete clean.
Start again.
Thought?

Starting fresh would be best and only option imho. On a sidenote have you noticed if you moved App 2 SD , the SD card doesn't get mounted when in external mode? I have as yet looked into it but I noticed I've lost external SD but it works fine inside the phone

Don't even know how to get into external mode. All the applications were installed at the same time so I assume they were all install to the same location. Your idea could be a valid one though. I have noticed Froyo is scanning for media each time the device is turned on. It's posible the icons are lost as a result of not retaining this information until the scan picks up on it.

Yep found out the Market/AppBrain had created a new profile as a result of the phones identification changing from phone to Samsung Galaxy S. Moving the applications across solved the problem.

I did a complete clean of the device and left the external memory card out of it while installing. All issues appear to be resolved for now but will continue to monitor it.

Found a new problem. Movie playback. Sound and video is out of sync by as much as 10 sec.
The movie plays perfectly on my laptop. Its a divx which I was led to believe can be played on this device. 25frames per sec video, sound is 112kbps, 2 channel, 48khz.
Any thoughts on this issue.

Problem solved.
Looks like Samsung lost the plote on this issue as well.
Running the movie in the built in player results in a sync problem between sound and video, 5 to 10sec.
Play the movie in Rockplayer Universal and the movie plays perfectly.
Is their an alternative player I can use which is free?

Mvideoplayer is be your cup of tea

Mvideoplayer it is then.
Noticed when I add an external SD, Froyo creates two folders on the SD. Namely .android_secure and LOST.DIR
Any ideas on what creates these and for what or why?

Mvideoplayer has the same issues as the internal Samsung player. Out of sync sound and video. I get the feeling Samsung buggered something up with the coding for xvid and divx.
Two players with the same issues.
When I tested Rockplayer Universal it asked me if I should use the SystemMode or NormalMode. SystemMode I think uses Samsung System Files in some way and the result was a problem with alignment sound and video. Tested Rockplayer Universal in NormalMode I think used it's own internal files and it ran perfectly.
I guess JP6 is not as release worthy as we think it is.

When i first installed JP6 via kies had problems with apps not appearing on the android widget screen, the market icon didn't appear needed to do a facotry reset for that one, was slow and lagged. When i'm browsing for apps in the market place, using the 3g network, there was a constant error message popping up and couldn't download.
OCLF didn't work at first! needed to do a factory reset and then run the oclf, after which most of these problems seem to have been resolved, don't know how but now runs smoothly. Big thanks to ryan!!!!! samsung should employ you for their android software development team.
God help the sgs newbies who don't know about android, i jumped ship from the iphone 3g.

Engadget App

For all posts with videos in them (excluding The Engadget Show), the video links have "Unsupported video format".
Does anyone know what is needed to get these videos to work?

Anyone?

Wish I had the answer. I love the app. I wonder if anyone running Froyo has gotten the videos to work in the Engadget app?

On my Evo with custom Froyo rom (Myn's Warm 2.2), Engadget podcast videos play using RockPlayer or the built-in streaming media player. Unfortunately I don't have my NC with me so I can't test to see if RockPlayer works there as well.

Not sure if it is a codec or a flash problem but when my captivate upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 I went from having this very same issue in 2.1 to being able to see all content in 2.2.

Doesn't work on my NC with Froyo.

Wild guess, but it's likely because those clips use Flash, and unless you're running Froyo from your SD card on the Nook, you're not going to be able to see those clips. Big bummer. I'm dying to get Froyo. I may try installing it on the SD card today, just to see if it'll work for me. Outside of that, I just want Bluetooth working, so I can use my Bluetooth headphones.

Froyo emmc can use flash. I dont know if the sd card can or cannot (i presume it can). Not sure why he made it sound like it can't (possibly typo? or something).
I'll test the engadget app later today for you unless someone else has by the time I can.

Sorry this took so long, been of a busy weekend for me. The engadget app also says "unsupported video format" and if I click videos it says "Sorry this video cannot be played." just like youtube says. It does work if I go to the website and view it that way, albeit the video is laggy (audio sounds laggy too, whihc is weird considering the audio for youtube sounds perfect")

For Froyo its the same reason(or i presume it is) pandora and youtube won't load, theres some network issue in the underlying code preventing these apps from working (but allowing their flash version to run in the browser). One of the developers said he believes he is close to a fix so maybe we'll be able to use these apps soon

How about the size of the application being shrunken to the top middle of the screen under Froyo? Anything we can do about that?

[Q] Yet another n00b thread; new Nook owner, very lost. tl:dr it for me?

I know there's a lot of threads like these, but everything I could pull up seemed really out of date, or didn't have the information I need. The Wiki was good, but just gave a list of all the builds out there, and I can't sort out which one is currently best for what. I'm hoping someone can give me some quick answers:
tl:dr: Have a brand new Nook Color. Video will be 95% of what it's used for, little to no web browsing or games. Would like to use it to watch movies/TV shows streamed from my NAS or off the SD card. 5% of use will be viewing photos directly off my digital camera's SD cards (using converters in the cameras).
Tell me what OS/Software to use. Most files are .mkv format, usually 720p.
Currently, I've got Nookie Froyo installed on the SD card, and after a lot of frustration of how the heck to actually get files onto the SD card while also having the OS on there, I found that bootloader NookColorUMS thing, which even though it seems like more steps than should be needed, has allowed me to copy files to the SD card with the nook connected via USB cable.
I'd like to have the OS installed internally, so I'm free to swap SD cards around to quickly move data around. Also so I can pull the SD cards out of my cameras, stick them in the nook, and browse the photos.
Currently I'm using Rockplayer Lite, which plays the 480p files fine, but craps out trying to play 720p. It also is very annoying in that it it has no back button in the UI that I can figure out, so you have to use that tweek to force the status bar to always be on top, which is annoying. If there's any way to get the stock player to play the files, that would be best. I know it should be possible, my Samsung Moment plays all these files naively with the build-in movie player. But the Gallery player won't play them on this version of Froyo that I've got on here.
My questions boil down to:
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
Thank you for any answers you can give, or any directions you can point me in!

Hope this helps.
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
CM7 - try phiremod nook
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
I've been using handbrake to convert all my video to MP4 using these settings.
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
PlayOn works pretty good. Depending on the source video type i get some sync issues.

Easiest install method
#1 Install Clockwork Recovery Mod to internal memory from your bootable SD card.
#2 Drop your desired rom on the root of a non-bootable SD card
#3 Restart into Clockwork Recovery Mod by powering on with n button held down
#4 Backup!
#5 Flash zip from sdcard
Now as far as video... I think you might be disappointed. You are going to need to reencode each video for the nook to get best results.
I recommend Phiremod Nook 6.2

Thanks for the reply's everyone. I'll get CM7 installed tonight.
I'm REALLY hoping to not have to convert videos to be able to play them on the Nook. That was basically the reason I DIDN'T get an iPad, I don't want to have to convert videos into a specific format to play them. All of these files played fine on my Moment, I guess I made the mistake of assuming they'd work fine on any Android device.
Is there no way to just be able to browse a network, and view/play videos and pictures on them? It seems like it should be such a basic feature.
What other good video players are available besides Rockplayer? Or, how would I install additional codecs to get the build-in video player to work?

I think Vitalplayer Neon and Mobo player are pretty good for the nook.

TL;DR; ?? Reaally?!?
Not reading (repeatedly the same instructions over), being impatient and rushing headlong into things is the easiest way to muck things up. We're just lucky NCs are impossible to be permanently bricked.

CM7 latest nightly (n86 onwards) has the newest fix for audio and video, while being on the .32 kernel and have support for an Overclock kernel. Smoothest vid playback I've ever seen, without any mucking about in re-encoding in Handbrake, etc.

I use moboplayer. 720p vids are a touch-n-go, some are OK, some are not. But if the HW acceleration (of the .32 kernel) doesn't cut it, moboplayer has the soft-decoding option.

Cifsmanager.
Just install, no other tweaking necessary. All extra files (mentioned in older thread abt this) have been in the CM7 ROM since n30s or n40s (or n50s, I can't remember really ).

[Q] can ds7 play .mkv?

I tried to put an .mkv movie on my ds7, and the windows or the computer, who knows, didn't let me do it. It said that the file is larger than the permitted, or something like that.
Oh, and I have an other question as well. Is there a faster way to put movies, actually files from the computer to the tablet than just copying it simply to the chosen directory?
Thanks in advance!

Since the format is FAT32 you can't put a file larger than 4gb on the SD... I may be mistaken... as far as file transfer you can learn to use ADB commands or something like SAMBA which for me both are faster than MTP

Okay, I see... and should I change its format to NTFS? I read somewhere on the internet that somebody changed his SD card's format to NTFS and it solved his problem. But I also heard something about that it's intentional I mean significant that it's FAT32... what do you think? And what would happen if I changed it and would go bad? Would it screw the whole SD card?

im not sure the kernel supports ntfs

u should split ur movie file to bring it under 4gb.
reformatting ur sd card to some other filesystem will render it unusable in the tablet.
u can try using an ftp server or stream directly from ur computer (like using vlc direct).
class 4 sd cards (the common class) ve max write speed of 8-10mbps, so cant go beyond it.

Thanks! Good ideas! I think I'll just split it to 2 parts, but the streaming through VLC is also simple. Thanks again! Btw, would you recommend me a program what I could do the splitting with?

This time I did it with something called mkvtoolnix..and was quite good. I could do what I wanted, so I'm kinda satisfied. Thanks anyway, I think I'll check that one also.

You can try to put it on the Internal and use an app to play it. That's what I do.

I was trying to put it on the internal. But I think I have solved the problem. I got a player called Dice, and as it is said it plays HD videos perfectly. It really does play movies better than MXplayer, so I recommend it, especially for Tegra 2 tablets.

[Q] best custom rom

What is the best custom rom for galaxy tab p1000 beside milestone 5

I like MIUI-XJ-SGT and Overcome because almost everything that is important to me seems to work. But I think It depends on your criteria.
I've been trying every ROM I can get my hands on for the last two days, as well as multiple versions of each.
I've been looking for a rom that supports NTFS on the external SD. (MIUI and Overcome lack NTFS support)
For me the perfect ROM would have:
NTFS support on external SD
Video and Audio HW support functional in stock and installed video players.
Working YouTube app.
Working Flash support in browser.
So far I have yet to find one that satisfies all criteria.
Boca comes close, but lacks HW video in stock and most installed players except dice.

okay thanks......,..........is cynogenmod 9 still beta

I tried the latest build as of yesterday. When I try a ROM I am usually looking for the criteria I listed above, because I wish to use the tab as an effective media player.
So I found the following:
Suprisingly HW acceleration works in installed video players BUT
Hardware Audio did not.
NTFS access was very spotty, with a few apps able to see files but most unable.
Youtube force closed for me every time.
So, unless a lot has changed since yesterday, I would call that very much a beta.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up my findings with Milestone 5. Will try CM9 again this afternoon and correct this if I find something different.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 with CM9, will try CM9 again today and update if I find something different. So many ROMs so little time!
LOL hope I am not mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 - going to try CM9 again today and will update this if I find something different
Didn't try flash in browser, because at that time I had already dismissed the ROM for my needs. Will try again on a later build.

Tested slightly newer CM9 today. Here are the findings:
I have the following build of CM9 on my tab now:
cm-9-20120511-NIGHTLY-p1-signed
Installed: gapps-ics-20120429-signed
This is most recent version posted to the CM9 nightly builds as of May 13. This was installed on a Tmobile GSM tab.
1. Wifi - Working fine
2. Market: Working fine
3. Stock Video player DOES see files on NTFS formatted sd card.
4. In Settings under Storage, NTFS formatted card is seen and correct size is stated.
5. Hardware video acceleration works in stock video player. This is using a 720p MKV file.
6. Hardware sound does not work in stock video player - at least I haven't been able to find a way to get it to work.
7. Dice Player can't see files on external SD formatted to NTFS.
8. Dice Player from files on internal storage: has HW acceleration and functioning audio - works very well.
9.. Youtube videos play very well from stock browser.
10. Stand alone Youtube app works well.
11. Observation: Copying files to internal storage via USB is slower than in the GB ROMs such as BOCA.
12. MX Player Pro Plays HW video fine (720p MKV) but has no hardware audio. Can see files on external NTFS formatted SD. Will play with sound only if software sound deconding is used. Then it works reasonably well.
13. Flash video in stock browser works.
All in all a pretty decent ROM. Only big issue is the lack of HW audio in video players, and if you want to use NTFS on your external SD, support is poor.

thank ...man this info is the best

Have you tried the latest update-cm-9-20120525-NIGHTLY-p1-signed.zip?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has just bought one off eBay but has Froyo.
Knowing it's already rooted, is it worth moving straight to CM9 now? From your description you gave, it appears almost good to go?

I've been using the nightly from the 23rd and now the 25th. Both fantastic roms. I would have no concerns recommending either as a daily usage rom.

Dude, there isnt such a thing like a best rom, its ****ing rude to compare the great jobs of our devs. All ics 4.0.4 roms r working better as the stock firmware by samsung and we got better support. Just try them by yourself but dont blame others by asking such stupid questions. I tried all ics 4.0.4 roms, ****ing great job, but somehow i prefer aokp. Maybe because of more features but i think switch soon. They all r freakin good. Chheers
