PagePool = 0 (automatic) ? - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi ppl,
I`m wondering how does it work : automatic page pool ?
I gave a try and it has been running very well on my new HD2
I run
Total Cmd
Camera
Calculator
HTC Full screen player playing mp4 800x40 file
Core Player playing the same file
Probki Mail.ru (GPS Maps with traffic jams online continous update)
Opera 10 beta (4 pages opened)
Word Mobile
and .... oh Yes .. Igo 8.3.4 with landscapes visualization
all of abouve simulately and oh my good
It can`t run album after that - it says - no memory.
May it be better with fixed (not auto) page pool ?
Thanks

Take a look at no2chem's post (and follow-ups) on the subject.

whats the best program to play xvid movies on artemis ??

hi
i have coreplayer 1.04
some time the movie slowes a little bit , i overclocked my cpu to 273 mhz , but its not smooth yet , anybody knows some tip why ? or what to do best ?
thanks in advance.
best one is
tcpmp there are a few people who have shared this file on the forum just search and download and install.
You can also try to resize you movies by using PocketDivx
This freeware program allows you to remove frames and resize to dpa format.
Where tcpmp is a player, the PocketDivx can fit a full movie in about 150 Mb.
Core player is TCPMP.
I am still using TCPMP, if you go into settings/advanced and tick a few boxes in there, less buffering over smooth video, slow video memory, see what happens. Mine is smother for having a play with the settings.
Read this in the Hermes forum that in tcpmp check the raw frame buffering in the video options really helps,and as uniqueboy has pointed out you also have to configure in settings/advance.
Yeah....I'm using that a well....i must use program....

Two weeks ago I made a little application to convert any input video to MP4 compatible with our HD Touch HD.
At the beginning it was only for spanish people. It has been grown and now it's a big aplication and I want to share it with english spoken people.
Its main features are:
- Support for avi, mp4, wmv, mkv, mpg, m2v, mov, vob, flv. Dvd directly rip included.
- Adjust bitrate to resolution output video (from 250 to 800)
- Lets crop to our HD ratio aspect (5/3), and change the input video aspect ratio
- You can add, change order, or delete videos of the video pending queue in any time.
- Supports srt subtítles (if a srt file with same name is present)
- If heigth is greater than 480, it scales video
- Shows complete information of the video to convert (resolution, framerate, duration, etc)
- If input video includes multilanguage (Dvd, vod, mkv), you can select audio language, and subtitles language.
- You can select for each video the start and end position, and preview the video.
- You can join Mp4 of same resolution (if a video is splited in two videos, you can convert each one, and after join them)
- You can select if computer hibernate/suspends or shoot down after converting process.
- If application is minimized you see actual progress.
- Multilanguage interface support (actually English, Spanish and Catalan)
If you want to traslate interface to your language, copy the english.lng file to the name desired, and then edit with notepad, changing each input for the traslated one. Please send me this file if you want it will be present in the next version.
The link to the setup file is here:

I hope you enjoy it.

Nobody has tested?
Great work!
I have a feeling most others probbably use some other application...
But don't let this stop you. Please keep us informed of updates.

It's automatic. It's calculated depending the size of the output video.
Looks great would love to give it a try... could someone attach it locally.. or post it to somewhere other than mediafire? I live in China... Mediafire is blocked. Although i can view the page using Firefox and the Gladder plugin to proxy it the php download gets screwed up. BTW just off hand anyone know a plugin or app for WM that can handle multi public proxies? the Great firewall blocks most free web site pages, more than half download pages Wikipedia on and off depending on moon phase <sigh> most blog pages ect.
If someone could relink it that'd be great, if you can advise on a proxy setup for china on WM please Private message me. Thanks

Sounds good
I'll try it tonight when I get home. I have tried almost all dvd converter softwares from Handango and none of them work with Omnia, I can't get full video screen. The only one that works is DVD catalyst 3.
Luego te digo como fue con este. I'll let you know later
Thanks Gracias
Omnia device and DVD convertion
I just tried tonight converting a DVD to mp4 and when I play movie in Omnia device I get message file format not supported even though the movie plays with a good full video resolution screen which is very hard to get with most of the softwares out there but in slow motion, it keeps stopping during the play.
Also how can I get subtitles from DVD? I can only see support for srt .
Thanks a lot

low FPS playing video

What video playing software are you guys using?
I'm using Core 1.3 and getting really jerky videos (music videos).
I thought they'd look excellent but they are not. Is there a better ap or some settings that I might need to change?

wmp. there is allready threads with this. even including the converter for free pls use the search function..
fair enough.
I just thought that people would still be using 3rd party apps like tcpmp or core as they used to be much better on my old phone (Kaiser)
I did search and got lots of varied answers

Improving Movie Playback - Done !

Using the information provided in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500574
I've made some benchmarks using Coreplayer, and what a surprise when I saw that this wasn't just a placebo effect:
On my Blackstone, used some divx encoded movie (container is avi, not mp4, so not playable with wmp), and a movie acquired with the camera, so .mp4.
I did a benchmark and the result is the following:
Methods
HTC Touch HD, latest Dutty's V3 rom, freshly flashed.
No Additional program installed.
Coreplayer 1.3.0 build 6213
1st movie is a DVDrip, avi, xvid.
2nd movie has been acquired with the HD's camera, so it's MP4.
Results are presented as following:AVI movie / MP4 Movie / MP4 Video paused in WMP in background​Driver QTV117 % / 135% / without wmp running a mp4 vid.
115 % / 197% / with wmp runninga mp4 vid.​Driver DirectDraw92 % / 142% / without wmp running a mp4 vid.
86 % / 186% / with wmp runninga mp4 vid.
​Analysis:
The avi movie suffers from the additional memory used by WMP in the background, and there is no improvement.
The MP4 movie benchmark improves dramatically when a MP4 vid is paused in the background with WMP.
QTv still provides better results than DirectDraw.
Conclusion
There is some kind of acceleration with WMP in the background, but only with MP4 movies !
You may notice that it doesn't seem to be directdraw dependant. Neet, I love more confusion.
I want to thank zerocool159 for this nice finding.
Edit: doesn't seem to work with all the MP4 !Will try to find the right settings.
Impressive, I want to try it first
It's not working for me, but I think I must have missed something because my benchmarking gives 43%, it's the first time I try to play a movie on my HD.
Well, you need several things, and I don't know if it's related to the Rom version I use.
Take a quick movie of whatever with your camera. Use Windows media player to play it. Put it in pause.
Without closing WMP, launch Coreplayer (the latest version I assume), and play a .MP4 movie. You can convert almost anything with the movie encoder GUI found on here.
Bump. No one interested ? Really ?
I am very interested, this is in fact very funny. Since there is special dll - qtv-mp4-"something" . Actually this is very strange. I first thought that WMP is somehow modified to use acceleration, than i have been told I am wrong. Later, there were some qtv dll´s found, as mentioned before one especially for mp4, so this acceleration is abviously not coused JUST by directdraw support of WMP. Anyway, I hope that CP will release CP 2.0 sooon. Also, if it it true, than Topaz drivers can boost video playback.

That's exactly what I did, nothing special happened, with or without wmp running, i got between 40 and 43%... the divx was encoded using an encoder found on this forum ^^
Ok, try with a video you've recorded with your HD's camera. I think there's something really weird going on. I've tried with a video compressed with badaboom and it doesn't work either.
I think the file format is very specific. Will ty to see if I can find the settings used by the camera to generate those files.
When I benchmark a camera video, I get 196%, and wmp still doesn't change anything...
There is definitely something weird going on, here's what I've posted in Manilla 2d speed boost thread:
This might be interesting to some people with more knowledge.
Tried this just now and it did make things run faster and smoother however, I noticed that on my homescreen the background I'm using had several white spots dotted about all over the screen (several hundred in fact) - as though the image had suffered from it's compression.
So, thinking I'd have to restart the device I just closed everything to first make sure I didn't have too many things running and noticed when closing HTC's Album the spots disappeared in front of my eyes!!
Tried it again with JUST Album running and the same thing happened.
Don't know if it will give anyone any clue as to what's going on but I'll try and grab some pictures if you think it would help
BTW: using the stock rom from Orange v1.19

Just saw that also, really weird.
Using MyMobiler can't get a proper picture of the white dots, but they are still there.
Will try with pocket screen.
Edit : WEIRD: I can see them but impossible to capture them !

i can confirm the graphical artefact displaying photos in the touchflo3d thumbview (white, blue, green smears and spots) while wmp is paused on a mp4 thingie...
having the picture thumbs scrolling is quite revealing : the dots on the pictures are part of the paused video !
theory : wmp loads some qualcomm dll for mp4 playback. said dll then does some stuff of its own that turns 2d overlay/framebuffering hw acceleration on.
meanwhile manila is doing the same thing througth some htc dll.
both apps access the framebuffer through 2d hardware, hilarity ensues !

Jup, I have encountered the same effect on my Laptop/PC with certain programs with video on pause, a application video overlay boxing match, so to speak...
It really isn't working for me, when I start playing the camera movie on wmp, and then i pause it and i start playing another camera video on coreplayer, wmp won't be showing the video anymore, i mean that when i get back to wmp and press play, i have sound but not picture... So maybe am I doing something wrong?
I found this branch in registry... maybe help?! I don`t know what is this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\DirectShow\Video Renderer]
"KeyIndex"=hex:fd,00,00,00
"KeyColor"=hex:09,09,09,00
"MaxBackBuffers"=dword:00000001
"UseOverlayStretch"=dword:00000001
"UseScanLine"=dword:00000000
"SurfaceTypes"=dword:000000ff
no updates?
That's what I'm wondering...
Guys, the update is the app developed by Chainfire called GfxBoost a while ago, what's stated in this thread was preliminary observations that finaly lead to GfxBoost...
Mods you can lock this thread I think.
hello everybody,
I'd try this solution on my TP2 and it's work perfectly.
Without WMP i have 70% of speed
with it grow to 115 %.
Thank you for this solution.
Ps: I'd just start wmp with a mp3
I modify my post because this solution had work only one time.
I'd try to test with/without wmp but the speed stay at 70%, mystery, mystery !!

switching from winmo, looking for apps (music/photos/more) - help!

I'm running a Desire build on my HTC HD2 (and loving it so far), but I'm looking for some apps that may not exist... or at least I can't find them via the Market or Google.
I'm looking for equivalent apps to programs I use for Windows Mobile:
- Conduits Pocket Player (specifically being able to load a folder of podcasts directly w/o a library, and auto keep bookmarks where I left off. Pocket Player also has a ton of options - basically looking for a loaded Droid player. Oh, also select my location for music library & don't look in any other folder)
- Resco Photo Viewer (ditto on specifying what folder to look into, and the smoothness of having thumbnails of pix)
- Phatnotes for Outlook (haven't yet found out how to synch Notes off Outlook server)
- Phoneweaver (auto audio profile switching - saw a couple freebies on Droid, but have not tested. preferably one that shows current state (day/night/vibrate) on the bar at the top. I'm using HTC profiles, but it only has silent/off/normal, I need at least 1 more for 'night' and the automatic switching part)
- Pocketshield (more powerful lock screen replacement where I can control what is showing and different ways to unlock). I'm not impressed with the lock screen at all & haven't found any place for settings yet.
- TCPMP (play divx movies, flash movies from youtube, etc)
Pretty new to Android and I have a lot of reading to do, but am pretty suprised I didn't find say a real good music player off the bat... and no powerful picture viewer with thumbnails & the like.
I got to download some music & picture players today. None quite what I wanted, but so far:
MortPlayer - allows me to manually load up a directory of music.
Yebisu player - seems ok, need to play more.
JustPictures - I was able to scan my SD card, then manually exclude all the funky stuff it found.
rock player - plays about every single video file ( dont know if it will work on your htc hd2 though, defo worth a shot )

Just read about it in another thread. Let's see what I can throw at it:
Home Movies (converted from digital camera) .wmv format (early ones for me) - nope.
Newer Home Movies (DivX avi) - looks good
Flv looks good (I think from youtube)
619 meg rip of movie (DivX) - perfect
Looks like I just need to convert some older wmv formatted stuff. Excellent, one to cross off the list!
Funny I just saw a tweet from SBSH - Weaver is coming out on Android tonight!
Getting confused in some of the threads I asked for help on, but am using WidgetLocker for my lockscreen, and Folder Organizer to keep my shortcuts clean.
