Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

re screen corruption. I'm using version 0.0.5. And I have been getting screen corruption on more than the first run. I've been able to reproduce it twice with this method.

1. Reboot tablet
2. Load up liqbase
3. Go to test area
4. While the images are loading, press the back key
5. Go to options, user config.

Why reboot? I can't get it to reproduce the bug after I've already run liqbase once in this session and have already had the screen corruption.

Same as qwerty12, reboot the device, run ONLY liqbase, then go to "graffiti wall." 9/10 times it has the orange thingy.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

thanks you two, ill test later.
But it still won't give me a cure ;)

After this first time does it work correctly subsequently?

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

I gathered that but as you had no idea on IRC on how to reproduce it.. ;)

Yep.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Didn't work for me, no screen corruption after last install (I really did everything to stress the tablet, I have it on video :D)

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

first run flickering is reproducable at 800*480 only, at 640*480 i get no flickering at all. i can switch between 640*480 in the same run of the app and get no flicker and after switching back to 800*480 it will flicker again and show difference, however this is ONLY on first run.

Anytime after the first run after a reboot it is 100% fine.

I have a video showing me switching resolutions and going between flicker at 800*480 and no flicker at 640*480.
I will not upload this yet, but if required I will.

However can I ask some diligent tester to see if they have an 800*480 movie to test with mplayer for the same effect?
edit: doesn't matter.
I made one and I cannot reproduce there.
/me looks for different options.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Flickering is present upon stream reproduction in Videocenter (is it the one with the world99TV?) if you switch from osso-mediaplayer to mplayer, but not everytime, it's random...
Could it be that there's a problem with the LCD controller's driver? Or an hardware issue that can manifest in some particular situations? Maybe a less than perfect component matching, or not so good timings... or maybe every person that is seeing corruption had an hardware revision with some kind of problem... Just guesses...

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

I think I have a workaround :)

I have decided to set the default resolution to 640*480.
This removes the glitches from first time users.
If you wish to change to 800*480, you must be aware on the first run after reboot it may have glitches, simply restart, but otherwise there is no issue.

I have done some testing wrt hildonizing, and liqbase now is listed in the home menu list and can be closed from there and minimized and stuff.

Great lcuk!

You solved the problem with liqbase crashing when locking touchsreen/keyboard!

It now wakes up sometimes with garbish screen but at least after a keypress it is refreshed.

Absolutely cool!

Thanks!

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Glad to see resolution changing in the new version! Hildonization seems to work well, too! Although (and this may just be me), the "Loading" box seems to slow down opening the program, and since it loads almost instantly, I feel like it's not really needed. Also, choosing to edit any of the menu items just slides in a garbled menu for the top third of the screen... I can only assume this is a VERY incomplete portion? Yes, I know it's beta...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I always look forward to seeing new versions of this program! I've been checking this thread every day to see if there are any updates :-)
