Edit video sound in Linux

First, you have to extract the sound from the .avi file:

mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:file=mysound.wav myvideo0.avi

Second, open this file in audacity, amplify / edit it and save it as myperfectsound.wav Now you can use mplayer to replace the old sound of your video with the improved sound:

 mencoder -o myvideo1.avi  -ovc copy -audiofile myperfectsound.wav -oac pcm  myvideo0.avi

Flash DIAMOND ROM

  1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
  2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
  3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your “Storage Card” or “Internal Storage” (the one of 4Gb… NOT to the internal phone memory!)
  4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
  5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
  6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
  7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don’t press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message “UPDATE SUCCESS” will appear, now you can safely reset your device
  8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but… there is always a but… for some unknown “scientific” reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
