re-enable ati hardware acceleration - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

i cant figure out how to re enable the ati hardware acceleration
i installed core media player and it disable it... any ideas?

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I remember such a warning when I installed Core Media Player as well. I didn't realise it's a global hardware acceleration switch that was turned off. That may explain why my device is sluggish...

Yikes. Me, too.

I didn't realize that either. I wish I saw this thread before I installed this morning.

Email the developer of Coreplayer and ask?
Can you not go under preferences on the video page and re-enable it (sorry if this is a silly quesiton)?

well i uninstalled it... so no

If it is disabled, which aspects of performance would be affected and by how much? Anyone tested it yet?

Well, isn't it just a matter of areinstallation, activate ATI, and uninstall again?

Don't think its disabled accross the whole device...
Well you're all making valid points regarding this, but I'm inclined to believe (despite the notice during installation), that it doesn't deactivate the hardware acceleration across the whole device, but only disables its use in the mediaplayer as default due to incompatibility. There are too may other aspects of the Athena that would depend on it functioning...like the camera and WMP10 certainly still uses it as MP4 video playback in ASP format is still considerably better than in Coreplayer or TCPMP...meaning hardware acceleration is not disabled by default in WMP10, in IMHO therefore not disabled by default throughout the device...only in coreplayer/TCPMP.
Just my observations...not 100% certain. Plus 2D games are greatly accelerated by the Imageon chip and I must say I have no issues in that department either.

Hi there
If I understand correctly, you're talking about the BMP-caching functionality of the Imageon. If so, no need to uninstall TCPMP, you can re-enable BMP caching from the "Options" menu, then "Options..." menu item, then "ImageOn" tab, then first check-box.
You'll need to soft-reset the device for that setting to take effect, which leads me to think that strangely enough, it IS a system-wide setting....

You mean the "Disable OS Bitmap Caching (Advised!)" setting? Hmm, I already have that unchecked so guess I'm OK?
-Krip

Yep, that's what I mean, from what you described (the question asked during TCPMP installation and all).
So yes, you're ok about that, although leaving this box unchecked *sometimes* causes strange artifacts in movies (parts of images that don't disappear as quickly as they should, for instance). But these occurences are so rare that I also left the box unchecked.

Is your Exec SLOW.....

Only had my Exec for 2 days and so far I have got to say I am not inpressed.
All applications open up so slowly I cant beleive that there is a 520mhz processor in this thing.
You open up an application say "media player" and when your finished you click OK in the corner, You think the program has closed but it hasn't It is still running in the background. Why don't apps close properly?
I have just installed a classic game 'PacMan' Now this is so small you would think the Exec would handle something like Pacman. NOPE. It is just too slow It takes 5 - 10 seconds just to eat one of the yellow dots.
My gripe with this is that it is just too Slow, Has anyone else experienced any problems with slowness.
I have 14 days in which to return it should I not be totally happy and I can honestly say I do not think I will need a week,
Did you try to go to:
Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs
To kill the apps properly, press stop. Then, try to run the game again.
Yes that is how I know that programs are still running even when you think you have closed them. It annoys me that they do not close properly.
Start > Programs > Pocket Excel. Now there is no exit or close function you just have to click ok in top corner, Then you have to go to Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs just to end the program.
You should not have to keep doing this and is only down to poor programming.
I have tried Pacman with nothing running at all and is still slow.
I click on Start and there is even a half seconf pause before the menu appears, navigation is just so sluggish.
If it is only me who thinks this then I possibly have a faulty exec.
Hm.. may I get the link to install pacman on my MDA Pro? If the pacman is still slow, I think it might have been due to the application itself..

This is by design - all pocket pc apps works this way. It's called smart minimize. When your device starts to run low on memory the apps you used longest ago will be fully closed automatically.
There's a number of different utilities out there that change the default behaviour of the "X" button to actually close rather than smart-minimize. Have a look here in the utilities section on FreewarePPC:

I did the installation, and I can tell you, even though I ran on MDA Pro with no other apps on the background, it is still lagging. Like *really* lagging (I can understand your pain now, *pats*).
FYI, my MDA Pro has been flashed with Jasjar's rom. So, might have been a universal issue (pun intended ).

You should see a big differance if you turn off error reporting: Start - Settings - System - Error Reporting - Disable Error Reporting
I have tried to play a movie on my Exec via WindowsMediaPlayer and its slow and jerking...
Tried installing TCPMP as another player, but still seems to have the same performance issues.
I have disabled "error reporting" & "Incoming Beams" as mentioned in previous threads....
Not sure its helped at all.
I`m also confussed about the poor performance on such a high spec machine.....
It could be that the encoder you use on the PC to convert the files is actually converting them badly, so it may not be a playback issue at all.
I recommend you try NVIDIA PureVideo: http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html
Jdee246 Thanks for the advice,
I have disabled "error reporting" and have noticed a difference.
I have also downloaded small menu that hellps you close all apps with one tap of the screen. http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/smallmenu.shtml
I have also hard reset the exec 3 times and have tried the Advanced and basic setups but the speed is still not up to what it should be compaired to other pda's
Many thanks CJSnet...
Very good point...
But still feel that the Exec should perform so much better than this..
It has the fastest CPU and Memory than any other modile
I was trying to point out that it may be nothing to do with the Exec performance, if the encoded file is encoded with pauses and lost frames.
However generally we all agree the Universal's performance is terribly poor, and there is another thread where you can see that ROMs are coming out to fix this.

Opera annoyance

Ok, running default Opera, which is 9.5 build 2682.
1. I can't click unless I zoom in. Very annoying. Any way to change this?
2. There are a few things, like now ability to have popups, I think and maybe page redirects that are preventing me from logging into my dispatch website. is there any info on this?

I have not received my HD yet but have used many versions of Opera 9.5. Some versions can do this, and some can't but you can check.
Type Opera:config into the address, then under adaptive zoom, see if you can find an entry called "Minimum overview zoom". Like I said, some version of opera 9.5 has this, and some don't. If it is there, then you're lucky. Just change it to 85%. You should be able to click and activate the links without zooming in now. (please exit and restart the browser first though).
Please let me know if that helps. I'm still waiting for my HD, which is supposed to arrive this morning.
Sweet, that seemed to work.
I see that it still chugs evrytime I visit my login page, which never changes. Shouldn't this be kept in the cache, so it pops right up?
Maybe I need to increase the browser cache from deafault?

Not sure about the inabiilty to use the pop up. Just taking a guess here, so please don't nail me for doing so. I think it may be that your website uses Java technology which has only works on PC?? I have some bank account logins which also do not work. May be the same kinds of problem.
If it is very important to use that website on your phone and Opera cannot do it, you might want to try other browsers to see if you have better luck. One such browser is Netfront 3.5.
Hope this helps. Sorry that I can't be of more useful assistanct.
That's all helpful info, bro, I appreciate it!
It could even have something to do with flash, I get the same erro rwith the installed version of IE.

Yes, could very well be the case.
If you're not dealing with very confidential information, there is also a possibilty of server based browser, which hopefully will be ble to handle some of those stuffs.
Note that disabling this "annoyance" also disables your ability to fire mouseover events, which are sometimes required to activate dropdown menus.
How do you mean?

I also wonder why they do not make it that way.
My guess is that most phone has very very small screen. At their screen size, it is impossible to read in zoom in mode, so they assume that you need to zoom in anyway before you click.
My present device is Athena (5 inch screen), so even at zoom out mode, we can read very clearly. It makes no sense to have to do the zooming in again before clicking on the link. HD's screen size is not quite that of Athena but is also big enough to read in zoom out mode. So, this tweak makes sense for us, although considered not necessary for the smaller screen phones.
Perhaps I would repost this in the tips and tricks thread.

Now that we can click links without zooming is there a way to enlarge the fonts bigger than "large" in the settings menu?

It always say something like loading, but it never does load anything. Also on some sites I completely missing all the navigations buttons so cannot move forward or backwards.

it seems pocket player 4.1 is the only palyer that has no stuttering

Hey guys
I experienced audio stuttering with every player, but when I installed pocket player 4.1 all the stuttering disapeared.
any comments on this note
I would have to agree with you on that one. Although I'm having issues with adding my own podcasts from valid addresses not updating at all. And, I don't know how to delete the podcast entry and start over. Perplexing indeed!
got core player and its terrible for it. Real let down, bougth this phone for one of the big plusses of being able to plug head phones in. Is rediculas tbh.

Might be because the built in equaliser is enabled. If I disable it and use something like Audio Booster instead Core Player is better than perfect.

I have the latest 1.3.2 but have also found success with earlier versions. What about preferences/audio/audio output=Wave Output or preferences/buffering/Preload for audio =64kb. Problem is there are so many options. I am sure it must be something in the preferences not set right. I don't use scan library at startt up option but prefer to select files direct from storage card or from a playlist file. My experience with WMP and HTC Audio manager is that library sorting always causes problems like pauses and skipping. Hope this may be of some help anyway.

I already have those options set thanks though, yaeh i suspect it hs something to do with library scan as when im looking through my songs, by scrolling thro them it causes music to skip like made. So i suspect there is a connection there.
Sadly it appears i am not alone at all:
Hi, this is a known issue with the hand set not coreplayer. See XDA Dev for details. This has not yet been fully solved but there are some improvments that can be made updating your ROM, drivers and Coreplayer to latest version.

:EDIT:
Im going to see if douberling the buffer size to 128kb makes any difference.
increasign the buffer size does appear to have made some difference. Not sure its completely gone tho. I increased it further to 256kb, that smoothed it out a bit more. I may try 512kb

Sounds good. Will be interested to hear how that goes. I found it really bad at first and it did take a while to settle down. Pretty sure it helped putting the equaliser off. Now it is brilliant and would not be without it. Would using Audio Booster help at all? Not sure why it would help but just another thing I use without problems.

Camcorder resolution stuck

For some reason my 'Camcorder' application resolution is nowstuck on "S (128x96)".
This is when I go into the settings->Advanced page.
It doesn't matter which codec I select, the resolution stays greyed out.
Any ideas? This is really annoying.

In the main video menu, you have the "mms video" option selected.
There is a camcorder icon in between the settings cog and the album icon, you can change it in there.
Camcorder Resolution Stuck on S (128x96) VIDEO AND NOT MMS VIDEO option
My 'Camcorder' application resolution is stuck on "S (128x96)" also.
This is when I go into the settings->Advanced page on 'Video' option - (MMS Video option is actually set to M (176x144), ie a Higher resolution than Video option).
Changing between MP4 and H.263/4 format doesn't help, the resolution is always greyed out.
I have a stock 1.43.206.4 WWE ROM and have only applied the official HTC Patches.
Does anyone know of a reg edit to fix this???, I've installed dotfred Task Manager with RegEdit built-in.
Hope someone can help, please.
Thanks.
You had me excited there, thought it was going to be that simple, but alas, that's not it.
With 'MMS Video' selected - the envelope with a camcorder at top right - the resolution is fixed at "M (176x144)".
The proble is when I have 'Video' selected - a camcorder on its own - At this point going into the settings cog and then advanced, the resolution is fixed at 128x96. Its greyed out so cannot be changed - just the same as with MMS Video selected bu an even lower resolution!
Very odd.

Do you guys have any tweaking apps installed?
The reason I ask is I have MPEG4 as a format option, which I think is only accessible with a tweak app, like BsBTweak (or reg file of course), I notice Firestorm33 does.
The only things greyed out on mine are metering mode and prefix, both of which I can guess the function and doubt they are related to this.
What options do you have selected in the Advanced options for video?
I have:
Resolution: VGA (obviously this is the one in question)
Review Duration: 10 seconds (I have tried all options in here and cannot reproduce your issue)
Capture Format: MPEG4 (which I think is only accessible with a tweak app, like BsBTweak (or reg file of course)
Recording Limit: No Limit
Keep Backlight: On
Record with Audio: On
Shutter Sound: Off (have toggled this, no difference)
Under Image Properties: +3 for all
Effect: None
Metering Mode: Spot (greyed out)
Prefix: Default (greyed out)
Counter: 52 (unlikely to cause issue though!)
Flicker Adjustment: Auto
Help/About are unnecessary.
Do these match yours? (bar the MPEG4 option)
Camcorder stuck resolution - S (128x96)
I don't have a lot of time right now, I'll get back to you rp-x1 on settings and apps later.
Initially I was just re-iterating that I have the same problem as FM, but to explain my problem in more detail, the first day I owned my HD2 I recorded a video (at a higher resolution, ie an acceptable quality for everyday use, will try and get the actual res later) than I can now, so something I've installed since then, whether it be the the official HTC Patches or some other app must've locked down the resolution to the S 128x96 setting. I've not installed a whole lot of 3rd party apps yet, will post more details tonight.
I have thought about doing a Hard Reset to take the phone back to factory settings, but hoping I don't have to.
I do have BSB Tweaks installed, yes.
And to be honest I couldn't say either way whether this problem started around that time.
I'll post a mesage in the BSB Tweaks forum as well to see if anyone there has seen anything similar (there's no mention as I did a search there before posting here just in case).

Hi guys,
I've exactly got the same problem, have you found a issue yet ?
Haven't been able to find what caused this, so yesterday I took the plunge and hard reset.
Camcorder, of course, came back all good and I've since installed all my apps again (I think they're all on now) and the problem hasn't come back.
One thing I did notice, though, is that 'mobiletag' no longer seems to work. This possibly stopped working around the same time that the Camcorder issue started - though I'm not sure about that.
Even after the hard reset and re-install 'mobiletag' throws an error that it's 'unable to load camera library'. The error details aren't particularly helpful either as the charcter set appears to be odd. The errors are:
Code:
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.SpecificInit()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
where each of the # characters above is actually a square character like you get when a character is missing from a articular font.
May be related, may be not.
Would be interesting to know if anyone else who has had this problem also has 'mobiletag' installed - it uses the camera so there's some logic to that being to blame.

[Q] Why does video playback cause a hang?

I realize the NST eink display is too slow to play back video and it lacks audio hardware.
But why does trying to play video cause the whole thing to lock up?
If I go to the youtube app or youtube.com or any other web video for that matter, the screen turns black
and it hard freezes and I need to hold down the power button on the back to turn it off.
What I am wondering is what is the technical reason?
I'm not sure about the technical part, but it does matter if you have the only available Flash installation as well as the browser you are using. Opera Mobile will balk at Flash, mostly refusing to even accept the touch input or throwing up a message saying, in effect, "no way". The Dolphin 10.x series browser will display Flash content in some circumstances, either using the embedded player, or an external player like MX. Some videos in some situations seem to invoke the native Flash players (maybe Flash Lite?) that comes with the triple-Flash plugin installation. This results in a black screen (although touching the screen sometimes shows the controls) from which it is very difficult to recover without a hard reset.
I wrote a more detailed post on the Flash issue with Opera Mobile and Dolphin awhile back here.
Bottom line: it's hardly worth the effort, even with FastMode or NoRefresh. It's just a "let's see if I can do this" thing.

Well okay. I am having this problem with HTML5 videos on Opera Mobile
but I think the same thing happens in dolphin. The problem with dolphin is sometimes the page doesn't render
after going somewhere and I need to open a new tab and sometimes it still doesn't render and I need to close and open it again.
Its annoying for sure.

It's a shame that the Nook does not have Bluetooth.
That would only require a trivial change to a single IC.
It's a shame that the Nook only has 256M RAM, hardly adequate.
It's a shame that the Nook is pretty much orphaned.

That would only require a trivial change to a single IC.
It's a shame that the Nook only has 256M RAM, hardly adequate.

Shame. I think it's your new favorite word. :laugh:
Ok now I have somewhat of an unrelated question.
In elixr 2 I see "Dialer storage" and "com.bn.demomode" using 11MB of RAM each
Since this isn't a phone and doesn't have a dialer is it possible to get rid of those and gain some free memory?
Go for it. Neither of those apps are needed for the Nook to work correctly.
You can also delete:
Phone.apk
TelephonyProvider(s).apk
PicoTTS.apk (and the other one like it, they're Text To Speech apps)
DeviceRegistrator.apk
Launcher.apk
NookHWTest.apk
Music.apk
Gallery.apk
You can delete more, but if you still want all the B&N functions (like me) don't delete much else. For example, DeviceManager.apk is necessary!

Thank you.
I deleted Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk and DemoMode.apk and there doesn't seem to be any negative effects.
And my cold boot RAM free went from 100MB free to 118MB free
Not a huge difference but hey 18 more MB is 18 more MB and with 256 RAM you need every bit.
I also removed Music.apk since it doesn't serve any purpose without audio output. I don't have PicoTTS.apk
Now every boot dolphin browser starts a service. Is there a way to disable it without uninstalling dolphin?
It isn't needed because dolphin works even if I kill it
Grab ES Task Manager and find the "Startup Manager" option in the menu. Tap it, then scroll down the list until you see a Dolphin-related app. Go to the far-right of the Dolphin listing and tap the "x" to remove it from startup programs.
Talk to you tomorrow, it's late and tomorrow's a school day. Later!
