Good news for Kaiser users: CorePlayer 1.2 will entirely fix the video problems!

See http://www.corecodec.com/forums/index.php?topic=596.0

sounds coool, I wonder how they want to fix the misssing driver support...

If you read the explanation posted on that forum -
The issue was that they used something called QTV for overlay (undocumented qualcomm driver).

I'm assuming "they" is HTC, which suggests that the driver support isn't missing, it's just not working very well, and Coreplayer have switched to something else.

That is very interesting also for all the future users of Polaris too!

Yes, maybe they are NOT missing (as some people have said) and this is the first app that actually uses the correct calls.
Can we get rid of that sticky now??

how will i get the additional driver or update for my htc tytn II? when will this be available?

There is no additional driver or update for the Tytn II, only a new version of Coreplayer which is compatible with the driver already in the Tytn II. This will be on sale in the new year.

Sorry, I did not say remove the thread, that would be wrong. I just asked if it could be made un-sticky!

Do you mean petition thread?
That petition is much more general. It touches problems with accelerated 3D graphics as well as video playback issues.
None of these are solved yet. I don't see any reason for un-sticky-ing that thread.
Bottom line: No, I don't think that petition will solve anything. But I still like people to know about Kaiser's problems.

It would be a pity if the problem was solved and admins could put a block on certain people downloading from this site.....

Will this fix in any way help with the Camera/Video Camera jerky/blurry-video issue?
Either way it's nice to see some solutions are finally surfacing.

Really, you call this good news? This is horrible news. And it isn't even correct either.
They haven't solved anything, they're just used a propriety technology driver to do something that by all means SHOULD WORK with the already existing and used-in-every-normal-program DirectDraw and GDI.
This gives HTC even LESS incentive to fix our problems, since there is now (a particularly bad) workaround.
So now we have to use a custom player we have to pay for to do something our device should have done already out-of-the-box, and it still doesn't solve our GDI, DD, D3D or GLES issues.
You call this good news, I call this a farce.
(And actually, the correct GDI/DD should be able to decide when to actually use QTV and do this internally, just like the KS20 D3Dm driver uses GLES internally)

If any sticky gets removed it should be the "The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions". What a mess that turned into. It is completely useless. In addition to the length and disjointed topics, many of the questions aren't even Tilt specific. The first several posts should be moved to the wiki, glean what you can from the rest and let that abomination fade into a long overdue digital oblivian! ...nuf said
Back on topic, I think this is good news but the petitioned issue still stands. Core Player will help for encoded video only, and has not yet been released. Until I see it, I am sceptical. Plus it requires an additional purchase for something that should be free. Still, being able to transcode my video library once and be able to play on multiple devices with respectible quality will make it well worth the price.
So I will probably wind up using it if/when it does come out and if it does indeed work, but I still think the petition thread serves a good purpose, if only to make potential purchasers aware of the situation, and also what to expect form HTC support (which is basiaclly nothing).

[Q] Setting per app DPI - How?

TP with CM9 Nightlies
Does anyone know how to set the DPI for a specific application? I want to run the system UI at 160 and a single app at 120 DPI. I've seen this done on other devices/roms, but not on CM9 -w- TouchPad.
Thanks in advance

Those are tablet ui type ROMs for specific devices like my Galaxy S2 that has a tablet ui option... seriously before asking something such as this pretty much proves you didn't bother to read even the opening posts of ANY of the ROMs here in the forum which needless to say is pretty lame

Good morning to you too. While I always appreciate help and guidance where I can get it, I do not appreciate condescension. I have read the opening posts on many of the ROMs. I did not see where it says "All your DPI questions go here". Also, I've posted on the ROM threads and PM'd a ROM dev but not received any answer yet.
My mom is going into surgery and then a lengthy hospital stay. I gave her a tablet so she can a bit more comfortable and entertained while stuck in bed for weeks. I am trying to figure out how to fix this one app's display before she goes in.
I ask you a favor, what is my best shot at getting a specific answer? Your expertise would be much appreciated.

What App are you having problems with?

It's that blasted "Words with Friends". She's hooked.
You can't see the chat portion of the app at 160 DPI, you can see it at 120 DPI but then the rest of the TP's UI is too small for her. So I'm looking to get just WWF at 120 while leaving the rest of the Tab's DPI at 160.
Is this something that has to be cooked into the ROM?
Any ideas?

Of course, its an app I dont use. lol. I've never heard of changing the DPI for each app. But maybe you can change it to a DPI somewhere in the middle. I use 140 and it looks great. I've heard changing the DPI can break the play store, but I have never had a problem with it.
Also, I've seen some apps that dont fit on the screen like you describe. Does it do that in both landscape and portrait mode? The ones I have seen only do that in one orientation.

I have tried 132 and 140 only 120 shows all the UI. And it's hard-wired to go landscape on the tablet. I tried to get it to go Portrait with no joy.
Dagr8 over on the SG Note threads has made a "Per App DPI" ROM which is very cool. I want to do the samehting on the TP but I did not know if it was a ROM thing or just knowing where to set the DPI thing; example in "build.prop" file.

Simple answer... the function is not available for the TouchPad and only available for a select FEW devices (phones) as there really isn't a need for the function considering the size of most tablets... you can stop looking or stressing waiting for an answer as that's pretty much it..... its a great feature on my SGS but convincing a dev to do the work for a tablet is quite a task

There is no "how to" for the functionality yet (a todo i think), but there is for the implementation.

That looks like its specific to that ROM. It modifies the build.prop file as well as adds a hyb.prop file which controls the different app DPIs. I'm not a dev so I wouldnt know how to add that to the TouchPad. But it looks like it might be possible. That would be awesome to have that modified for the TouchPad though. Especially since our DPIs are all over the place. But as it stand now, I dont think we have that option.

Not that's been highlighted in the reviews at this moment. I doubt this will be something available when the device launches, but we can be hopeful that HTC will add this feature. I doubt it will happen, but it's good to be hopeful.

I'm sure it's capable, but there's the interest of doing it that the developers need to have before something like this takes flight. If you could find a developer that is interested in making it happen, then it could be possible. But to be honest, it's really too early in the game to start worrying about it. Still need to start with S-OFF, rooting, custom recovery, ROMs, kernels, etc. If any developer on here could chime in and give their input???

Why on earth would one want to use both cameras simultaneously? I'm not sure there would be a real world use for this. Can anyone think of any?

My sentiments exactly, that's more of a novelty feature than it is useful. It's just something for the manufacturer to day the can do out. Just like 3D cameras and dual screens it's a novelty. In glad sprint decided top keep the phone as it was designed. All I hope for is for HTC to do a better job of realising sources on a timely matter an a quick upgrade to 4.2.2
something clever goes here...

Seems like a hassle more than anything. It would just mean you have to line up a shot on you and on the other person at the same time. It's something I'd never use. Now, the EVO 3D. I loved using that camera. Good thing my wife still has my old one.

Whatever floats your boat.

I'm sure some app developer will create an app that mimics Samsung's functionality. It just seems like a farfetched idea so no one has thought of or even undertaken the development of such an app yet.
Keep your eyes on the play store and the forums, I'm sure one will pop up soon (If not already).

Question Bad performance for now

I dont know if it is bad performance if the phone, hardware or anything like that, but on my previous OP6 it was running smoothly. I am talking about playing Pokemon go on two account using split screen. After few minutes, device starts lagging like a lot until it is almost unusable. Has any got any tips and tricks, same experience etc.?

If you're rooted, you can try to use a kernel app and change the cpu governor from Walt to schedutil. I had a similar issue.

Change it like that? I have switch to what you said, but previously it wasn't enabled at all (same like it is now, only with different choice). Do I need to enable or in addition?
EDIT: Oh I do need, because otherwise it wont survive boot. Or do you use any other app that will handle it differently? I am using FKM.
Do I need to change frequencies btw?

Well that's called throttle a nasty thing to have also in telegram scrolling it's lagging so I found a solution to the problem for now and that's forcing 120hz it seems that you will have a little bit of lag but after a long scroll you don't even notice it no more so I'm sharing this with you and maybe it will help you there is also a video in the post on how it works but its just simple first option force 120hz second normally switch mode the third one 60hz i hope this helps you a bit to get rid of the most lag what you encounter

Install the app RAM truth from the playstore.
It'll show the memory, it's called swap.

Question Security

Morning all.
I'm still a noob at this but i unlocked and flash and running pixel android 12 on my Redmi note 10 pro.
I would like to know what security software or apps should i be running? Thanks Gents

Use a Vanilla ROM without Google and the PlayStore for your privacy secure. Use F-droid and Aurora Store with open source apps. Root is also a security risk.
Then use a firewall. Netguard (without root) or Afwall+ (root required). Another way is the add block app blokada. Netguard and blockada together didn't work of course they use both VPN.
A virus scanner isn't necessary. Use our brain and ublock origin add on in Firefox to surf securely.

Your original question was about security, and the comment above saying "use your brain" is mostly true, using your brain will safe you more than 90% of the time (using your brain meaning dont do or click something you don't have knowledge about. It doesn't mean you are stupid, as technology is not a general knowledge but something you have to learn if you are interested.) Just try to stick with famous foss softwares, try not to root, try to keep your phone with yourself, think hard before downloading or clicking anything. If you really want to boost your phone security, don't insert sim card, and try to stick with phone brands like pixel and flash rom like divest os. Overall android has a pretty awesome security model, you just have to take care of a few things...

Just try to stick with famous foss softwares, try not to root, try to keep your phone with yourself, think hard before downloading or clicking anything. If you really want to boost your phone security, don't insert sim card, and try to stick with phone brands like pixel and flash rom like divest os. Overall android has a pretty awesome security model, you just have to take care of a few things...

Let me start by thanking you. I don't understand everything so good and English is not my first language so simplifying it does help me so much so thank you I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much I appreciate it more than you know

This is true but the bootloader is unlocked and cant be locked with custom rom so...

My DivestOS has been tested locked on 20+ devices.
GrapheneOS and CalyxOS only support lockable devices
Just use firewall network wide

This is silly and unattainable for most people.
There are better alternatives and forks of firefox.

But we are talking about redmi note 10 pro, which does not allow that. That's why I mentioned to buy a phone like pixel.

I think it is easier to implement it once on router than each device.

I love your browser, but I disagree with your fingerprint protection column. Phones can be easily fingerprinted as they are so unique, that's why I recommended to use pc for browsing if they can. I checked mull and it did have some unique fingerprint (I dont remember much) but I think it had unique canvas.
Edit: btw do you scrap the internet for any new mentions for divest os?
Edit 2: Also tor browser for mobile does not have and support ublock origin i think.

yes, then in this context, most Xiaomi devices cannot be relocked. And a Pixel is a good suggetsion.

And when you use cell service or go to a friends?

The fingerprinting protection column is rated accurately.
Most fingerprinting test websites just say "you're unique", without giving the full picture.
Firefox with resistFingerprinting (which is what Tor Browser/Librewolf/Arkenfox/Mull uses), attempts to group users into buckets of similar values.
If you check CreepJS in Mull you'll likely see a hit counter of >0, because of someone else having been registed with the same bucket.

It doesn't come with it (Mull doesn't either), but you can add it. Most will say not to add extensions to Tor Browser, but I strongly believe the benefits of uBO are worth it (faster page loads, less untrusted content).

That's why I asked above if the op uses for example sim card. I only use my device at home and don't have any friends. But I think it is a good idea for me to add just in case. It is to combat remote access threat right? Anything else?

I have already added uBO on mull and it works in private mode too.
Tor browser for mobile is always on private mode (expected) and uBO add on is available, but it cannot be turned on to work in private mode, and tor is always on private mode. Am I missing something? Are you somehow able to make uBO work? If yes, I would love to know how.
Thank you!
Edit: Do you mind sharing which search engine you use? Do you have your own searx instance?

I don't know if you missed the notification/forgot to reply, so this is just a ping. If you didn't want to reply, then I am sorry to disturb.
Thank you!

Things like per app network control or per connection data control are nice to have and are better implemented on device than a network/router based firewall.

This is a bug iirc, you can add it just tricky, don't remember how and latest version is sadly crashing due to another bug: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/fenix/-/issues/40212

DuckDuckGo and Google, I don't have a searx instance.
