TizzBird F20 Install other OS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
A long time ago i bought a Tizzbird F20. In the beginning it was a very nice device. Because of the newest apps from this days use newer android versions than
the one is installed on my device i don't use it anymore. Because of the hardware inside the Tizzbird is slow it wil get more slow trying to install a newer android version!
Today i was thinking if there is a possibility to install a standalone version of Plex or XBMC on the device? Just like the mediaplayer you kan buy on the internet?
It would be great if that would work!!!

The players I used were Daroon Player and the original stock Video player and I'm on Honeycomb 3.2.
Playback was very choppy and no audio.
What's your experience with HD video on S1 tablet? Any ideas, how to improve it?
Try mx video player, free from market.
Works great for me!
I found the same issue. A 1080p mkv that plays smoothly on my SGS2 phone stutters awfully on the tablet. I've tried all the suggested video players without success. I'm very disappointed. I hope it's just a SW issue that gets resolved in an update.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, will try it, but I doubt it's any good... I guess it's a codec or some 3.2 quirk...
EDIT:
Tried it and no, it did not help- same choppy video with no sound.
I'm wondering is it supposed to play AC3 sound out of a box?
EDIT2:
In mx player there are some options that I can choose: h/w decoder, s/w docoder and s/w decoder (fast).
When I choose software decoder, then I have sound for like 10 seconds And the picture looks *little bit* less choppier...
I Checked it good reviews and it looks good just have to wait to give me my tablet
It is the tegra 2 chips problem. It can't play High @L5.0 Profile Video..Cause i was P990 user.
You have to convert your video to Divx / XviD MP4.
AVC is no suitable to play higher than 3000kbps
Had the same issues... hence why I returned my tablet a long time ago...
Concerning the HD movies I've come to a conclusion, that it is practically impossible to watch them on the S1 tablet, since the majority of 720p are over 4GB and 1080p movies over 8GB, you really have no way of getting them inside your device.
You cannot store a file that's larger than 4GB on the S1's internal USB storage and Android can only read FAT32 formatted external memory (SD Cards or USB storage devices), so you cannot place your HD movies there either, because of the 4GB limitation of FAT32 file system. (I have tried to format SD card to exFAT, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4, but Android just won't recognize media formatted this way; Actually I'm very confused why it didn't recognize native linux Ext* partitions?).
And since we don't have root, we cannot mount external samba shares either...
So you're stuck and can only watch media with size under 4GB and with lower video bitrates.
***
Is my conclusion correct or is there currently a way to watch HD movies with file size over 4GB on S1?
I've downloaded blu-ray rips at under 4gb and watched them on my 42" tv, and they looked great. Now obviously they're not going to be as good as watching the disc itself, but if they're good enough to watch on a 42" tv and still look like good quality HD, then I'm sure they're good enough to watch on a 9" screen! You really shouldn't need anything above the 720p version - the Sony Tablet's screen is a lower resolution than 1920*1080 so couldn't display a 1080p file to it's full potential anyway.
Hope this helps!
Agreed.
Just that... my entire movie collection is at least 720p Just have to re-encode then I guess.
Guitardave, I totally take your point about the screen not being capable of displaying the full res of 1080p. But for me that's kinda like saying theres no point watching Bluray on an HD Ready (720p) tv because it can't display the full resolution. I don't really want to spend hours transcoding films to watch on the tablet when I go away, and be limited to just watching those which have been done.
It's just a shame, that's all. I expect the next model will cope without any problems. This aside, i'm still impressed and happy with he tab overall.
Just as an experiment, it would be good to download a movie trailer in 720p, and then the same trailer in 1080p, and see if you can actually see any difference in picture quality. I doubt it personally, on such a small screen (as opposed to, say, a 50" tv). Better still, do a blind test - get someone else to start the clips playing, and you make a call as to which is which...
Of course you won't notice the difference on such a small screen, but that's not the point.
The point is, you have to waste time re-encoding your movies to watch them on the go
I've got 720p mkv files to play on mx video player. Just had to switch the audio to sw. Video can be done with hardware no problem Looks amazing

for those who say you can not leave a tutorial here I hope I never have problems with the links as I see that nobody can run hd 1080

I am able to play full 1080p HD video just fine on my sony tablet s. Using the stock video player too. No problem. No lag, no choppy frame-rate. You just need to convert your video to the right codec for tablet. If you go to PlayStation store from your PS3 and download free 1080P trailers and transfer it to your tablet you'll see that it plays perfect! To use the same codec that Sony uses for their HD video trailers in the PlayStation store, I use AVS video converter to convert my video for my sony tablet. And it works flawlessly. But most of my video are already that format so I never really have to convert all of them.
Just load any video in AVS video Converter, select convert to MP4, Under profile select for "tablet", select 1080p resolution(1920x1080p), select mp4 iso v.2-H.264/AVC codec. set the bitrate higher if you want better video qaulity and click convert.
Now you'll have a 1080p video that is perfectly optimized for your Sony tablet.
Thanks, but it still does not solve my main problems. Wasted time on video conversion and the 4GB file limit
Well I guess you would have to slit the movie into two parts if it's a long movie. The codec I use in the method above also compress the file size of the video. I have a 6 minute full 1080p HD video that looks great and it's only around 150MB, so a 1 hour movie would be around 1.5GB? I'm not that great with math. But anyways, it keeps the quality good while lowering the file size, which is good.
I know video conversion can be a waste of time but it's better than waiting for an update or a proper solution. We'll just have to deal with what we can do right now.
I used vplayer for my hd videos. Works well but sound goes out of sync when I adjust volume. I havve to restart vplayer.
try dice player I tried 720p video and it works with my tablet S make sure download tegra2 plugin
