Enjoy HD video with subtitles on Windows Phone

Enjoy HD video with subtitles on Windows Phone


I am not a heavy video user on the go ( on my Windows Phone ) , I usually spend the time listening to an audiobook or trying to play games that I need to review on the windows phone games site. But I am sure there are quite a few guys / gals out there who would rather watch a movie / TV show on the go. Apparently the automatic conversion of videos for Windows Phone done by Zune might not always be the best possible quality and there are other ways in which you can convert the video so that you get the best possible audio and video experience on your Windows Phone.

This guide by fellow xda-dev member rvmax shows us how we can apparently encode a HD video ( 720p or 1080p ) and hard-code the subtitles in to the video so that we can see that on the phone. We will be using a free Open Source software called VidCoder.

If you have played iBlast Moki on Windows Phone 7 you probably had a hard time getting the gold medal in the Mountainland , Level one Balance . Windows Phone 7 iBlast Moki is a great game but this annoying level can be really frustrating. but thanks to some clever players , who figured out the trick to complete this level in under 1.5 seconds and this will unlock the gold medal for you.

Thanks to Duff85 and softmonkey from the official xBox Forum.

WP7-How-To

WP7-How-To


Ok once you get your Windows Mobile it was quite obvious what you needed to do.. you needed to head over to xda-dev and download a custom ROM that you liked and you need to flash your device. With WP7 things are a bit different .. so what do you do when you get your hands on that shiny new WP7 device ( hopefully by October 21st )

Luckily Microsoft has set up a portal that runs through all the basics that you need to setup to enjoy WP7 to the max. So bookmark this page : Microsoft WP7 How to : click

As you may know, newly updated & customized ROMs come out of xda-developers like a factory of Windows Mobile goodness, but to many people the process of “cooking” a ROM is a complete mystery. I personally still think its 75% magic. Luckily, theres a step by step guide in the works which should explain it simply enough that even I can understand it. Its even got pictures!

This tutorial will show you guys how to install a CAB onto your windows mobile device. We are going to use a HTC Diamond which is a VGA device from HTC ( I am currently using a WM6.5.5 ROM by NRGZ28 also known as the Chef behind the EnergyROM series ). So some of the screens might look different on your non HTC devices / WM 6.x / WM 5 devices and Windows Mobile Device Center a.k.a WMDC

Most of the time you get a CAB file to install and there are many ways to install this. If you download the cab on your mobile device skip to step8, If you get the CAB on your PC this tutorial will show you how to get the cab on your PC and then you can install it. At times you get an EXE you have to install on your PC ( after syncing your PC and Mobile device ) and the app is installed on your mobile device.

For this example we take a look at Elecont Weather, I got the CAB from their website.

TouchFlo 2d a.k.a Manila 2.0

TouchFlo 2d a.k.a Manila 2.0

The new version of TouchFlo 2D a.k.a Manila 2D version 2.0 is out now, Unlike the older version there are no complex steps involved. Its a simple Download and Install the cab to get it. Some things to keep in mind though.

- this is only WWE version, it won’t work correctly with other languages.
- apparently it does not work with WM6.1 , so only WM6.5 at the moment
- if you had any previous version of Manila, don’t forget to uninstall it and do soft reset before installing this version. Also keep in mind that it will keep your personal settings, like people tab photos, weather cities or launcher number of rows/clomuns.
- for those having problems installing be sure that you have all basic applications from HTC + some others like:
+ HTC Album
+ HTC Audio Manager, AudioBooster, Trimmer …
+ YouTube
+ GoogleMaps
- in Settings Tab Wallpaper change and New Mail Setup does not work.

Download Manila 2D v2.0 build 19171723
