Video capture problems - Touch HD General

I have some problems when I capture video with my Touch HD.
1. I seem to get a 1-2 second sound lag. Anyone who knows how to solve the problem?
2. Even though I have chosen CIF-format, it seems like the captured video has like 15 fps and the video is not very smooth. Is there another setting that sets the frame rate?

My previous phone, Touch Diamond, had the same problems. Anyone else who has these problems?

I have attached a video file that I have captured with my Touch HD that shows my problems.

that problem is already fixed with a patch, downloadable from htc's support site.

I looked at HTC's site and I can only find one hotfix and that one is a solution when the screen stops responding for about 3 to 5 seconds.
Where can I find the fix you're talking about?

it installs fine, it is compatable with the HD (version 2.5 supports 480x800)...
...but, after installing the program on the HD, i realised it messed up the screen, when you try and make a note, its not calibrated, you tap one part of the screen but it thinks your touching a different part.

i guess its not compatable with the HD, the resolution is supported, but its probably another problem, the website mentions the x1 is supported and doesnt mention the HD. im guessing this is the reason why. You will just have to wait untill they release something that works for us.
All I know is that the webpage says it is kompatible to the hd. (see attachment)
But if you got problems then there may be a bug.
Or they didn't test the new version on the hd.
Anyway.
I don't have this program.
And I don'T got my hd yet.
The developers claim this works on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 which is also WVGA, but I have the exact same problems as reported here.
News from the developers...
---------------------------------------------------
Hi,
First of all, sorry for the delay.
We have discovered some screen problem with the Touch HD.
This problem is know and will be fixed in our next release(available soon).

I do have exactly this effect on my XPERIA X1. Hopefully the developers from spagetti can fix that because I'd really like to use the soft.

TomTom 7 running slow on HD

I have recently upgraded from the HTC Kaiser to the HTC Touch HD.
Before I switched to the HD I had TT7_910.9185 installed on my Kaiser and it worked perfectly.
After upgrading to the HD I tried installing the same 'TT7_910.9185_SIGNED.htc_diamond_cracked' cab that I had previously used on my Kaiser but it wouldn't install. Eventually though I found another version that did. This version was 'TT7_910.9185_QVGA blue'.
Since installing this new file onto my HD I have noticed that TomTom runs far slower that it used to on the Kaiser (ie. the graphics are more jerky!).
Is there is anything I can do to make the program run more smooth?
Maybe if anyone can point me to a different installation cab?
The problem is not linked to the map because I am using the same UK and Ireland 8.15.2024 map that I used to use on the Kaiser... The problem is also not linked to lack of storage space because there is plenty of space remaining on my SD card.
Also, Does anybody know if it is possible to flip the screen in TT7 on the HD?
Thanks in advance.

I can't help you with the speed issue.
But to rotate the screen via the accelerometer, you can use third-party freeware like Gsen or Gyrator.
Cheers Chris Cross.
Can anyone help me with the speed issue?
Try version VGA black. I've got this one and it's alright.
http://rapidshare.com/files/160129459/ttn7.910.9185_vga_black.cab
the fps of tomtom on the HD is a lot slower than the kaiser when comparing the two side by side. this is due to the screen resolution.

Exactly true. This is why to get the best performance from TT on the HD use the VGA Black cab and use less POIs. It will also be faster if you use it in 2D mode. You could also try u

Use the good cab VGA Black, decrease the POIs, consider using it in 2D, maybe install the SD card speed fix in the HD Wiki of this site and disable Activesync from dragging down the system.
cheers Matterhorn...
is the 'good' VGA Black cab the one lipa47 posted a link to in this thread?

yeah I contact them regarding the LG Incite (same res as Omnia) and they sent me a canned response indicating that 240X400 is not supported. It would have been nice if they at least said something about possible future support. At least Opera works.
anyone know how to get scrolling working with this? I have ftouchsl installed on my trinity and scrolling works great with opera but doesnt work at all with skyfire.... it doesn't support scrolling?
It supports native scrolling, maybe you should add skyfire to Ftouchflo exceptions (there may be a conflict).

Want better video performance

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509704
get it install it set it to run (maybe add it as an exclusion to taskmanager) it's superb.
If chainfire can get it running as a service it will be amazing!
Video playback is better, opera performance is better. overall it's better!
(this may not work on a stock rom, but I think all the files are there)..
touch it
recommended for itjes touch it 7.x as well?
Thanks...I'll try it...
If it's recommended by fards...that means it's good
Did anyone try it with Stock ROM?
I found it breaks the R3A Camera app. Anyone else can confirm it before we file a bug to Chainfire.

The 1st run sees nothing on the screen, but close the camera app and start again will works.
r3a camera app working fine here
weird bug here....s2u2 i messed up in portrait mode....well it's worth it though considering the major performance improvement.....
@Fards : I would change the thread title as its definitely not only video playback benefiting from this tweak !!
camera working fine here, using itje ver 7.1
Thanks for posting this program, I have benchmarked GfxBoost with Spb Bench, SpeedBooster2 Bench and SKTools Bench to see if there was a quantitive improvement we could measure, apart from the glowing testimonials I have read. I have posted the results on the Turbo Speed Rom 2 thread out of respect for your thread.
Does this patch have uninstall? If it breaks something, can I uninstall it so that everything is as it was? Or it can not be unintstalled/can't revert changes?
How can i add an exception for it?
Is it a registry value?

Quoted from linked thread:
"TFM (The F*ing Manual, read it!)
Requirements
An HTC-built MSM7K-based device, sporting QTV and some similar nonsense. In general, I would say this this is the entire range between the Vogue and the Touch Pro, though I've only tested it on Kaiser and Touch Pro, and both are GSM.
Installation
- Install the CAB on your device
- Soft-reset (does not seem to be needed on all devices)
- Start GfxBoost and click Enable
Uninstallation
- Start GfxBoost (if not running) and click Disable
- Uninstall CAB as usual"
I daresay you can uninstall it with no problem... The app requires installation as well as activation through running the app to work, so no changes are permanently made.

My bad, thanks for that. I do not know how I skipped something that I needed to know.
On my stock R2AA008 the camera works with no problem after enabling GfxBoost.
Just tested it with status Enabled (Active) and I can't say I like it. Video performance is not better at all. At least not with coreplayer. I was using it with qtv output even before this GfxBoost, but with enabled, I must switch to other video output otherwise there is no video rendered on the screen.
iGO8 is not faster with this tweak, or at least I can't say I saw any difference. The same is valid for opera. No visual improvement at all. SPB mobile shell 3.0 too.
The only thing that I need to mention for my results is that I already have ATi graphics drivers installed on my X1 (the UI is generally faster with them), so maybe because of that I can't see any improvements with this GfxBoost.
Where are the ATI drivers from? Also I thought coreplayer didn't really make use of the processing powers of the xperia at all.

Currently coreplayer does not utilize the VGA acceleration by video playback, only WMP/Media Panel does.
I was talking for these drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486713&highlight=graphics+driver
The ati D3D.zip package.
I noticed that my battery is going down really fast when i enable it. Like the battery losses 10% every couple of hours or so. It never noticed my battery to go down that fast before.
hey,
i installed it earlier and it seems to be working quite well for me, quite a few things are smoother... such as opera, tf3d, even coreplayer!
quite remarkable really!
my hat off to chainfire! one of the very few problems with the x1 (video performance) being dealt a serious blow
my other hat off to itje! for all his cooking!
and my other hat to fard! for all his bug fixing and general help
thanks all
peace

HTC Camera

Has anyone got a link to a cab of the latest HTC camera app (VGA)?
For some reason the one in the ROM i'm using just freezes when you try to take a picture, and doesn't save it.
Thanks.

Have you tried changing the internal settings at all inside the camera app?
It could be you have a camera pkg from a device with a higher MP count than the hardware inside your device..
That's the common problem from what you've described. So try at a lower resolution.
Found a .cab by searching on here, was 6.20 I think. Works fine now
