How the hell do you get rid of the pixelization ( Or however you spell it ). It is driving me mad just installed qteks rom and everything is perfect butt he pixelization is driving me mad!
I have had the same problem it only happens when the screen times out or you turn off the display it happends with the Touchflov3, Champion V2,qteks rom. If you reboot its ok till the screen is shut off again. any ideas?
Yea I thought there might be some easy fix but after some reading it seems that there isn't! I am definitely not going to be turning the phone off and on every time it happens to shut the screen off. I did try a lot of roms in the meantime. Unfortunately evil and Jacxhero just sit there and loop at the "Hero" starting screen and fatla1ty doesn't have the screen problem but the rom is incredibly slow! Qteks was nice and fast but as stated before the screen problems are too much, I guess I might wait a little while until something not so buggy comes out. Unless some one knows of something better or some other rom's that I haven't tried..... or how to fix the looping problem on evil's rom and Jacxhero? - Thanks JinX

For the boot loop to go away, you need to have a clean, freshly partitioned SD card. I had the same problem, then I reformatted my memory card. Removed the ext3 and linux swap and reformatted it all to fat32. From there I repartitioned the memory card. As for the pixelation, I noticed that it happens on slow SD cards or low quality ones. I tried Qteks hero with the class 2 that came with the mytouch and got the pixelation. I then tried it with a class 6 8 gig that I had and the problem went away. Not sure about class 4. I have one and am going to try it today. Will get back to you on that. I am not 100% sure this is the case, but it is what happened with me, as far as pixelation goes.
i have a class 2 and never get those problems

I tried with the scandisk 4gb and a class 4 pny 4gb
I've seen the pixelation with a class 6 4gb, and a class 4 8gb.
I have read some speculation that it has something to do with swap?
Right now I am running Qtek with compcache only, and do not have pixelation.
When I run Qtek with linux swap, I get the pixelation.
I was starting to suspect roms ported from the Dream boards, but I just flashed JACxHero 1.4 and no pixelation.
I did some recording, of nothing in particular, just around the house and after I finished I went to play it, and after about 5 minutes I assume it must of frozen or something as it was still on that loading screen...
Another faiure by htc -_- , has anyone had the same problems and/or found solutions?
Thanks
My HD2 has no problems as you're describing, so your post title is completely misleading.
However, have you tweaked the recording settings? Are you storing the footage on your Micro SD? What speed is it?
We need more info to try to help you

Yeah I am saving it to memory card, but Im not sure what speed it is, theres a 2 with a circle round it, does that help?
thanks for the response
That's means it's a class 2 card, which is slow, trying changing where it stores to say like the internal memory and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then buy yourself a class 4 or 6 micro SD card.

ahh ok, well that sucks
Hopefully amazon will do a full return, do they sell them as class 2/4/6 or is it just random?

I just made a video of 4:45 and it played back instantly. Took about a second on the loading screen.
Do us a favour - stop finding faults and then posting them and instantly claiming a fail on the part of HTC. You need to investigate issues a little more before start complaining. How about starting with the attitude that there may be something wrong, rather than the attitude that there is something wrong.
I am using a 16GB Class 2 SanDisk card, and saving vid directly to the card, so unless your card is faulty, I can't see it being that.
As johncmolyneux stated it's probably just your sd card is screwed, you could try just reformatting and see if that helps. If you decide to buy a new SD card, they will clearly state their speed, whether it be class 2, 4 or 6. Obviously the faster you go the more you'll pay.

Yeah maybe I'll try formatting, if not I guess I'll have to return it
I have tried formatting it, yet t still cant seem to play even 13 seconds worth of video. I switched the save locations to the device, still nothing.
I do however have a hunch, there is 1 video that I recorded that I can play on there, and its one I took the night I got the phone, before switching my settings and installing extra modes from damien123_666, so maybe the settings are too high quality and the phone is strugging with them? Maybe when I update the rom it will be more able to cope with higher quality videos
thoughts?

If you can bear it without too much hassle, do a hard reset and see if the problem persists. It sounds like you could be on the right track, but I'm sure there's a lot of people who have done the camera tweaks. Maybe ask in the thread in question to see if anyone has noticed this problem.

I have 2 issues and would like some feedback/help on
- I just got psx4droid for both my girlfriend, and my phone. Shes using the Samsung Vibrant, and I of course have my HD2 with android running the Desire v5 build. It runs a hell of a lot smoother on her vibrant, and i understand it will be limited on my phone but was wondering if i went from a class 2 to a class 6 sd card; would that help make the game run a lot smoother?
-I also got the Louder Volume hack and the rooted rootfs file that corresponds to the desire v5 build. When i select the different volume settings with LVH i don't notice any difference. Is there somthing else i'm supposed to do in some other settings?
louder volume hack? where did you get it? thanks
I second that! Where did you find such a thing?

A class 6 card will make a BIG difference over a class 2 card. I went from the stock 16gb class 2 card to a 4gb class 6 card and the difference was night/day. As for the volume, idk.
i believe the audiohack will not work with nexus1/desire because n1/desire does not use AudioPara4.csv file. You can try modifying that file and nothing changes (i tried it lol). also, some of the builds don;t even have it. i think the mic gain/volume can be changed through kernel, pls correct me if i'm wrong.
if you are able to get audiopara4.csv to modify your audio please let us know.
ohhh......alright, thanx for your help
Greetings to fellows android users and contributers ,
I would like to seek advice on what is wrong with my phone while im playing some games for example : modern combat 2 HD
I managed to flash my galaxy SL from XXKB2-----> XXKB3 successfully without any problems and also swapped my internal and external memory to give the phone internal memory of 14.8GB in total .
Before I swapped the memory cards , I was playing modern combat 1 and it ran smoothly . but after I installed modern combat 2 , some scenes during the in-game gunfire would flicker like a spoiled TV .
Questions :
1) is it because of the extra large internal memory of 14GB CLASS 4?
2 ) is it because of some steps Im supposed to take before I play some high-end graphic games.
sorry if my questions sounded noobish.
thanks for any advice.
Even i face this problem.but even without swapping.

It happened with me recently after the swap of 32gb memory card to internal memory with Asphalt 6.
Just delete the data file required by game and re-copy.
Solved this in my case.
(i had backup of data files of asphalt 6 so i coped back to memory card again n deleted old)

I'm not sure about my answer but i think this is the problem..
External And Internal SD Cards have different Write and Read Speed.. Internal is faster because it is built in your device.. Because you swapped your internal and external the default for data storage therefore will be the external SD which has lower read and write capabilities compared to internal SD.. (This is just my opinion and i'm not sure weather it is correct or not.. If i'm wrong please correct me )

Mine is currently on it's way from Singapore, there are 4.1 and 4.2 finless roms available for it, and it is pre rooted but it seems it's not properly rooted because by default you don't get full root.
I ordered one for myself --> Finless ROM is available so far.
Delivery shoud be in 7-9 days.

got mine 2 weeks ago. It doesn't come prerooted. I flashed Finless 1.4 (4.2.2) and it is working great and stable. The flashing process is quite easy and straight forward. One negative point is (but this is the case for all RK3188 sticks) that the official stable XBMC 12 doesn't work. You need to use XBMC 13 which currently is at Alpha V7 stage and often crashes. Ohterwise very happy with the device

Have a question for you guys as reading how you too flashed bobs JB 4.2 ROM. As you know there are choices for space of the apps. 2,4,6 gb. I first tried the 4gb. But when I did. The box on that choice went from green to dark blue. Everything else remained green. Tried to flash and it got a error message. So flashed and just left that line alone with the default 2gb. This time it flashed no problem. But now I'm stuck with 2gb. So Gona refresh. Is it normal for that box to turn blue when you make the choice? If anyone knows..please inform me. TY.

AHH okayyyy, that's why then, for LARGE GAMES
if this is the case then you have to try DirectoryBind this app let's you move all the large data files of any game to the external sd card and fool the rom that these files are still on the internal memory. the app supports syncronisation of the files between the external and internal memory.
great tool, i use it and i love it.
but before you move the game data to the external sd card you have first to install and run everything on the internal.
anyway this is just a solution if you can't get the 6GB config.
why don't you flash the stock 4.1 rom, run it then flash Finless's ROM with the 6GB? i think this way you get the CX919 really FORMATTED
GOOD LUCK
So how do you guys like the CX-919?
After I have canceled my Ouya I am looking for alternatives
If you could share some information and experiences I would greatly appreciate it! :good:
Looking for stuff like boot time, lags in the OS, XBMC alpha, what setup are you using etc.

I finally got the 4gb . The directions tell you to reboot between wipe and flash. Ignored that. Did wipe. Chose 4gb. Color still changed from green to blue. But went with. Flash went ok. ROM is fine. Link2sd works. Might try directory bind if it does not cause issues with Link2sd. But DB sounds better for large games. Well time for some more testing. TY

I can tell you a little. I did not play around with the stock ROM to much. But I did flash finless 4.2. Had a little trouble with getting drivers installed. Seems that is normal deal. But it worked out. As for device. Its fast! I have not had any lockups or reboots. Video from USB thumb drive and SD card play fine. DLNA works surprisingly well. On this ROM. Netflix is not working. Crackle is not working. Real bummer. Most apps install fine and work. Buy seems like any apps that would turn it into a true smart tv device wont work. I already have a smart tv with these apps. So, that does not bother me to much. But if your going to use it for turning a tv into a smart tv. Well, Forget it. I may try the 4.1 Finless ROM. Read where people were saying these apps work on it? Will see. Anyway this is a fast great device and am having fun with games...

cx919 on stock vs Finless
I used it a bit with stock rom, now I am on Finless 1.4 (4.2.2) ..
- On stock my favorite Dice player didn't work (was showing "can't start video", even when u try to open it), some old Logitec USB camera was not detected by stick/skype, videos from external hdd plugged were playing ok.. Interesting that Antutu crashed during testing...
- Finless brought me really ugly splash screen, as well as old usb camera support in skype, which I tested and it worked pretty good during 45min conversation.. Dice player now works but in a funny way.. a bit slow.. (I saw decoding is done using software and didn't have time now to find option for hw decoding.. should be better).. It is nice that some crappy useless apps are gone, but on the other side developer added some "game mapper controler" and few other apps which are at least for me and for now useless (better would be to mention them in readme so user can download them)..This is about reboot app for example, which could be super usefull, except that it froze somehow my stick and I couldn't start it not even after hard reset.. Flash of Finless again boot it up again.. For SuperUser developer decided not to use the most popular and open source app, but at least in this rom there is root (Stock was pain in the ass to get the root, if u manage to get drivers work).. The biggest problems, however was very difficult mounting of external hdd and even usb. From USB I eventually was able to play videos, while HDD was "blinking" all the time, it even showed up in a list but when I tried to access it it was impossible.. I lost patience waiting, cause I know that on stock that was way much shorter then 3+ min I was waiting on Finless.. Beside this issues I noticed that sometimes mouse/pointer doesn't move and on stock that never happened.. Is that lockout or? This was really annoying, when u know it's quad core and on stock it worked good.. It happened that
All in all good work with some annoying issues which will hopefully be fixed with 1.5 .. Thanks to author.. Cheers

got mine 2 weeks ago. It doesn't come prerooted. I flashed Finless 1.4 (4.2.2) and it is working great and stable. The flashing process is quite easy and straight forward. One negative point is (but this is the case for all RK3188 sticks) that the official stable XBMC 12 doesn't work. You need to use XBMC 13 which currently is at Alpha V7 stage and often crashes. Ohterwise very happy with the device

Working great and stable means it doesn't load widgets and things after boot much slower then stock? Mounting external storage like usb or hdd works? Cause I couldn't make it mount other storages AT ALL... Plus it happen that randomly got super slow, that playing videos got a bit funny and sooo on.... Please write a bit more of ur experience.. How u r actually using this stick..? 10q

Well, I can't tell much about widgets because I'm not using any. I installed Nova launcher since the beginning.
USB sticks definitely work on mine. I am using ES Explorer and the stick gets mounted under USB0 so I only need to browse there to access it. My stick is plugged in the USB slot of my tv. I was surprised to see that the power it gets from the USb slot is enough but it works fine and is convenient because the stick starts automatically whenever I switch on my tv and turns off when I turn off the tv.
Mostly I am using the stick for watching life tv from the net (my desktop contains browser links, no widgets) or YouTube for the kids, or XBMC or watching movies which are stored on my pc
