hey guys i flashed duttys latest rom and ive noticed when i record a video with the phone and try to play it back i get no video except from windows player, except all the pixles are screwed up its red and green and every other color on the screen any help would be great thanks in advance
You can try posting it at dutty's thread where you got the rom from. youll have more chances of getting helped there than here, cause youll only get flamed for making a new thread.
yea
yea problity but more people see the new threads then putting it under the one where i got duttys rom, I can't ever seem to get any help by doing it that way, plus whats the point of this site if you can't ask questions and use it is a learning tool. No disrespect to anyone lord knows ive spent my sleepless nights flashing different roms created by some talanted people.

How about using another app besides the one you have already tried. Hmmm!!! Just a thought. Just tried it with CorePlayer and TCPMP and it worked just fine!

Hey no offense bro but what i said, i said it politely and i never mention anything about not being able to ask. As a matter of fact, you can ask in the original rom thread, heck you can even ask the search box. As well as you can ask the way you did it, by making a new thread. Thats the beauty of it, this is a free world and YOU CAN ask anytime and anywhere. just be advised that the same way you can, other people CAN and WILL flame you and/or point you to the right direction with a little hostility if you dont ask the proper way. i simply pointed you to the right and most common direction, which i stated above.

you could always 'pimbackup' your mails/contacts I'm sure it comes with Dutty's ROM.
Did you Hard Reset your device after flashing? it might be worth re-flashing it nowadays people aren't hesitant re-flashing ROMs because most are UC compliant and backups are easy as pie.
Goodluck

I just finished checking the dutty's april 29 thread, assuming you havent changed your rom yet, we both have the same rom. i have no prob what so ever, so therefore it could be either the radio or check the rom thread. if you posted and no one is answering, its not that you arent being ignored, be patient as perhaps the other member's timezone is not as early or late as yours. here eastern time is 2:10 AM, i dont usually be here at this time but as you can see im here today. I have no actual need to insult your intellingence, as we can all see you're smart enough to flash/modify your cellphone. Just remember that you are the one asking, and not the other way around, therefore for some people being pointed to the right direction is a sign of hope, but for others it may not be the case. But whatever floats your boat, if it works and gets rid of the issue, then right on. if not i hope you get all the help you need...., goodbye and good morning from new york.
confirmed
I can confirm having this issue. To make it clear, I do not have any problems watching video files I load onto my card or phone. I do not have issues watching youtube. They all load nicely on TCPMP. I'm using the latest rom from Dutty (Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700) with the 1.64.08.21 radio.
I think the ONLY problem I'm having (and I'm assuming the same goes for the OP) is that when I try to record video with the camera, the video file comes out with garbled video and proper audio. Dragging these files onto my desktop, I still can't view the files with VLC media player or any other media player I've tried. (well, it just shows a solid grey box, but plays the audio properly). Pictures taken with the camera, however, are just fine.
So I'm assuming the problem isn't the player, but is related to the camera and whatever may affect the camera's recording capability. Possibly the radio (??) anything else?
I'm too tired to mess around with the radios atm, but if anyone else with the issue has any luck resolving it, please let me know. thanks.
I am using Dutty's Apr 09 build and do not have this problem. The first thing I would try is changing your radio version, since the camera will not work properly if there are issues with your radio. I would suggest the radio version I am running (see signature) because it has the best battery life I've seen yet, and the camera is very snappy/responsive.
i flashed alexes rom last duttys rom both versions the htc radios and the att radios same problem my tilt is brand new ive had it for 4 days i had a tilt before but the stock os was different than this one others are having this problem its not the radios or the phone it something in the roms that don' like the newer tilts, plus why would dutty put out a rom with a radio in it if the two arnt compatiable this is dutty were talking about the only time you should change radio is if you flash a rom that doesn't come with a radio and you have a problem
on the right track
there are different processors in the new tilts they are 7201 instead of the 7200 that seems to be the problem so far most everybody with this problem has had that processor
Alright try not to flame the piss outta me; i've been a member here for years and i know how to SEARCH. (and i did)
there's alot of reading between the lines that goes on here. lots of things are not explicit.
my needs are:
1. to be able to tether via bluetooth/wifi/usb/MIFI/hotspot my phone to a windows laptop
2. to delete the bloatware
3. maaaybe save the apps to the SD but that's not necessary
but i must remain with stock ROM. i had a cingular 8125 (wizard) and an AT&T Fuze (diamond) that i hacked and cracked and unlocked and every other thing you could do to them.. and it was always a mess; emailin the dev late at night cause this don't work or that don't work, data don't work, GPS don't work, radios don't work, the phone don't work, it needs to be rebooted everyday cause the other thing's from a different phone. hell i even blew the speaker on the fuze with some speaker mod i downloaded cause it was too quiet and so it didn't ring half the time. i don't need sweet fuzeberry pictures for the menu button and all of this.
so unless there's some perfect rom out there that doesn't have not one damn error, i'd like to stay with a stock rom.
so can bullets 1 and 2 and maybe 3 be solved without going with a non-stock rom? do i have to root to get #'s 1 and 2?
thanks for not flamin me
There is a stock rooted Rom on here which you can use that will let you do what you want.
As for the roms, I know everyone has their preference but gtg's inspired saga gingerbread Rom is pretty much flawless. Even have it on my wife's inspire and she never complains about anything not working. I am sure others are very good as well.

All of that will require root access. At the very least, your gonna need to do that.
Once you do, if you want a kick-ass fast, stable and dependable tweaked custom stock ROM...try the one in my signature.

I think there's only a handful of us around here that use this ROM as their day to day ROM...and mostly its because it's so close to stock. Not many bells or whistles with this one.
oh puke it appears i'm gonna end up crackin this phone into pieces as well.. bleh. there's sooo much i don't know right now. apn? what was it before i did this? what should it be? a million trillion new things with a new operating system, new phone.. not one thing is the same it seems. on the the [GUIDE] i go..
can this all be undone on this phone if i crush it and need to return it to AT&steal for insurance?
Take a breath. You will catch on and yes it can be reversed if you need to send in for insurance though if the phone is split in half you may have trouble running the stock ruu and getting s-on.
Check the thread in dev section on data speed to see apn settings I believe they are listed in there.
i have yet to even plug this phone into my laptop for the first time.
any activesync type programs i need?

I meant to tell ya that with the Ingersoll ROM, well with most of the ROM's in the dev section, wifi hotspot is enabled by default. I have used it and can verify that it works perfectly..just enable wifi hotspot in the settings. Oh and AT&T won't ever know either...though there is some debate about that.
Or like Newter555 says, do the research and you can add the APN's yourself.

If you used the attn1 method he mentions that you have to flash a ROM to get sound back. Do you have rom manager installed? It can install recovery for you and download roms for you.

He has recovery installed. All he has to do is select a rom, put it on the hd and start recovery to flash it. The process is well.documented. ROM manager is not the answer.

OP when did this start happening? It could be a utility or program you downloaded on your Xoom. Are you rooted stock 3.1? Did you do a nandroid backup? Did you flash something in recovery lately? Have you tried to.uninstall said game and reinstall?

If I start helping does that mean I should add that pretentious "donate to me" button?
By the way, asking the OP to try stock for the duration of a few tests vs. custom software is completely legitimate and I consider it helpful. I would like to know if something has perhaps glitched out in his software load, and going back to factory first is the place to start. Go back to factory.... see if problem exists, if not... then move back to root and custom rom and try again.
Exactly what is wrong with that logic?
"gtfo" if you don't like my troubleshooting suggestions.

So if I have a problem in Windows you'd recommend to reload the OS from scratch? That's something the Geek Squad would say. It's better to pinpoint the problem than takimg the easy way out. For all you know he's rooted stock.
FYI that donate button was there since the begining when I did work on Windows Mobile. I never ask/asked for donations.

Depending on your problem with windows, I would definately give you that answer. The only reason I gave the prior answer was because its technically much easier to "reload" one of these devices than it is to reload windows on your PC for many various reasons.
The OP certainly isn't required to take my suggestions, but I don't see very many suggestions happening here so pardon me for trying to toss in my two cents.
It's important to know the history of these devices when users start having trouble with them. Did the OP merely root or did the OP root, flash kernels and OC as well? It's entirely within reason to believe that some silicon just won't stand up to overclocking and you may very well cause damage. For a wide variety of users this doesn't seem to be the case because I know people are overclocking and running just fine (for now). I spend a great deal of time watching the progress of kernel development over in the #xoom channel on IRC and I'm not "down" on what they are doing at all (FYI).
But for this users situation, yes.. I'd like to see them restore the tablet to stock and report results.
Another thing about asking a windows user to reload... they can always grab a spare hard drive and reload windows on that for matters of troubleshooting a bad driver load, or something of that nature.
Any other questions?
PS: Geek Squad can kiss my rear end, don't put me in the same category as them
formatting windows IS the best solution.

Sounds like your GPU is cooked.
Hello all, I have a couple questions about the WP7.8 Sianto Edition for the HTC Arrive. I have the Sprint Arrive and am considering putting this rom on my phone. First I would like to know if anyone knows what kind of unlock it has, if any. Also, does the USB Tethering work in the 1.6 for the Arrive? I see it listed for the 1.6.1 for the 7 Pro..
And does anyone have any input on how reliable this rom is? I am looking for forward to the 2.0L that is said to be coming soon. As of late my phone has gotten so slow and my data connection speed is terrible lately. It seems every week it gets worse and I am having many apps just crash to the home screen and apps that rely on the data like radio apps just take forever to even open now. My wife has this same phone on the same network and hers is not having any of these issues.
Thanks for your replies.
Anyone know? Planning to download the rom tomorrow but want to know about the unlock first. I have yet to HSPL my phone but will when I have all my questions sorted out.
Hi mate!
Concerning the slow speeds, if you upgraded your phones memory by swapping the sd card, the two can be related (for example, my youtube videos are very sluggish while streaming). I Have an international 7 pro (no carrier branding) and it's been 10 months since my last hard reset (when I upgraded the memory from 8 to 32 gigs) and i am also experiencing very slow load times, but I don't know about the apps crashing. Data loading is also a bit slow on my side (on some apps while refreshing) but internet explorer just works fine.
But I remember the phone working just fine right after the memory upgrade, so my guess is that constantly adding and erasing apps and files like videos, music and pictures are kind of messing up the responsiveness of the system.
PS: Sorry for my response not being specific enough to your case. I didn't want to reply at first but since the 7 pro forums aren't much populated lately, I thought that my idea on the subject could help.

thanks for your reply, i was starting to think i wasnt getting one! lol but yea my phone is very slow compared to my wifes phone and has been since i got it. before the mango update it was laggy just scrolling on the Start screen. im hoping it is just the ROM that came on the phone, so thats partly why i want to update to the 7.8.. also i want the unlock benefits, but i cant seem to find if the Sianto ROM is unlocked or not.

For one, yes, the Sianto ROM IS unlocked.
And for another, the first time I loaded the Sianto ROM on my phone, it was at v1.4, I believe. After going through the steps, my phone was it's fastest ever, and I loved my phone even more than when I had first gotten it. Things were great for about a week, until tragedy struck: an app I installed from the Bazaar marketplace while at school basically bricked my phone. So, I borrowed a friends phone, let people know I would be incommunicado, and waited out the day. When I got home, I immediately came here to XDA, and tried to remember which ROM I had loaded, but wasn't able to get the same computer I had originally used. I remembered Sianto's name, but then saw ansar's ROM, and decided to try that one.
Long story fairly short: I switched back to Sianto after about a day, and haven't looked back since.
I don't know about USB tethering, but the internet sharing works in v1.6, and I especially like that Digital Power was added to the Settings. Every time I flashed my phone before, I had to reinstall Digital Power, but not with this version!
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Sianto v1.6, and I know that when v2.0L comes out, I'm definitely going to flash it.
Hope I helped.

My SM-P900 is a great device, in terms of screen and pen, but not at all smooth (I'm on stock 5.0.2). It feels to me more like a hardware issue - not enough RAM, nor horsepower to deal with the all the pixels being pushed. I've have been poking around this forum all morning, and I'm still left with a couple of questions:
- does Lineage improve the lagginess to a noticeable degree?
- Is there a quick Odin way to get it back to stock as a last resort?

I've have been poking around this forum all morning, and I'm still left with a couple of questions:
- does Lineage improve the lagginess to a noticeable degree?
- Is there a quick Odin way to get it back to stock as a last resort?

yes it is . i have resisted for the last three years but now have succumbed. the upgrade is well worth it and battery life has suddenly come back to how it was. faster snappier and more customisable. better in every way. i only did this last week and do not regret it for an instant
You sold me .
Of course now comes the challenge. Could not get heimdall to work; now trying Odin.
Update - totally worth it! Buttery smooth.
Odin method was actually pretty easy. Got nervous when the first boot took about 8 minutes, but it landed eventually.

HI, as strange as it sounds I actually just got my hands on a new Note Pro 12.2. Based on what I've been reading I think I would be better off rooting it. Probably better to do it now before I start using it.
Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction or share with me a link on how to root it? I'm not a total newbie at rooting, but have not done it in a long time (last root was my HP Touchpad ).
I tried searching, but so many options are showing up and it's getting very confusing as to what to flash. I don't want to flash an out-dated build.
Thank you
-Gabe

First you should confirm your model number - mine is the standard wifi-only module - SM-P900
For that model, the instructions at the top post of this post worked fine (don't use instructions on the lineage page - they're complex and people like me had problems getting them to work).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-7-1-xsm-p900-unofficial-cyanogenmod-t3524788
To summarize (be sure to get all the details and warnings from that post)
Download Odin / TWRP / Lineage build / su zip / google apps
use odin to flash twrp
use twrp to flash lineage, su, google apps

First I want to say "wow!"... I can not believe I got a response so quick... I was expecting a reply in 2-3 days tops. Your are a credit to the XDA community I'm not a frequent poster here as you can see, but you certainly make the XDA forum look good!
I will try and tackle it this weekend when I have a bit more time (I know this will take me a bit lol).
Thank you so much for the quick response!

I heard that you're having trouble with lagginess? I wonder if you're using something like DU Speed Booster to help clean your caches, etcetera, and occasionally cleaning your Recycle Bin. Also, it helps if you're able to access your SD Card properly. Some OSs (most notably 5.1.1 don't want to play nice with one that is larger than 64 gigs, or one that has the wrong filing system. I got it fixed on mine, but at this moment I don't remember how. Just give me a day or two and I'll figure it out and get back to you. Will talk with you shortly. Rob

Im in the same boat, if i root and install lineage to get the latest Oreo version will i lose any functionality that the stock pro 12.2 has?
Can i reverse the root and go back to standard if for some reason i lose functionality on the pen etc?
In all my years of owning android tablets and phones ive never rooted one of them, but this tablet is a beast and i would like to see it running at its best and feel that a software upgrade is long over due.
I personally would wish somebody ported Tab S3 Samsung Experience powered by Lyneage on the P900
Despite I would love to have the most recent version of android achieved on this tablet, I just can't quit the Samsung Experience, that's the only thing I hope it happens
My tablet is now at least as responsive as it was on 4.4.x. Lollipop had made it super laggy. I'd be tempted to say it's even faster, but I haven't really tested it yet.
Adobe creative cloud apps

Don't worry about the newb part, we all started somewhere... See post #6 in this thread, and have faith. It actually is fairly easy, the mistakes I have made is because I didn't follow the directions to the t... That being said, I have never bricked a de ice so badly it couldn't be recovered. Good luck!

Hi, I don't know that anyone has responded, but everything I have read claimed that it was a bad idea, because every ROM is specific to the device. That may be changing with a very new (I think?) development that has to do with Project Treble and GSI. If you google SM-P907A custom ROM, what do you find? You may find something if you keep poking around.....Good luck!!!
Pen Functionality
Does the SPen continue to work in LineageOS?
I want to upgrade, but I don´t want to lose the pen functionality.
For P905, you have to check if you are willing to live with the bugs that are currently on the roms.
I think the most stable for me was Lineage 14. Since it only had 1 major bug that could be kind of fixed. The others have:
1. Broken palm rejection
2. Phone related issues
3. Rotation issues on some
4. No mobile data on the latest
Unfortunately, it's pretty slow on mine that I am considering just going back to Lollipop since I want a stable device that isn't so slow.
Best I ve ever done to my old P900 - LIneage (Android 7.1.2) is incredible fast and give back full functinality (some Apps I.m using very often need Android 6)....I m very happy with this upgrade
The "Error 7" code mad me crazy last afternoon - I had to format the item with TWRP and the there was no problem to install the upgrade

Hi, what's the problem with palm recognition in 8.0+?
Tab can't recognize pen and palm (pressure, gestures, button) or when you write tab does not disable the regular touch?
It's "fixable" using other app like Squid?

It means that when the stylus is close or touching the screen, your palm should not trigger the touch screen. This is an OS level feature. Without it, people writing/drawing notes would have marks on the area their palm is resting or unexpected zoom is performed. Other applications can have a workaround like enabling pen only for drawing but those are rare.
