does youtube with hd work on the 2.1 builds? if so could we take the app and install it on a 1.5 rom with good results? i know youtube is broke atm until the 2.1 update that's why im asking. i just saw a complaint thread about youtube on android central.
it does work with 2.1 however my experience with all the 2.1 roms floatin around is the hd side of it only works with wifi. as far as usin it on 1.5 no go

so why wouldn't it work on 1.5? different kernel and such? i hate the fact a google app is broke you know!
can anybody upload the 2.1 youtube app and ill try it out? if it doesn't work it will be no different for me as right now it's a no go.
never mind i tried the 2.1 app and it doesn't work, i get a force close...such a shame.
it does work in 2.1.. with HD too...
sometimes (less than 10%) I cant play a vid.. but just select it again.. and it is fine...
I watched a vid in hd on 3g no problem... took a bit longer to load obviously but still worked like a charm... it's nice to have youtube back after losing it in 1.5
when u mean hd, do u mean high quality?

I sure hope so. The Hero doesn't have enough pixels to display HD. Any attempt at HD is just pure wasted bandwidth. The Hero barely has enough pixels to even display Youtube's 480p "High Quality".
FYI
The Youtube app does work great on DamageControl v1. Although by default it gets the low quality video. You have to go to the Menu and select Play High quality.
Obviosly its going to take longer to load the HQ video. And it does work over 3G.

the youtube app on 1.5 needs to be fixed...why can't a dev fix it on a custom rom? whats the issue anyways? seems stupid to have to wait until 2.1 for a fix.
@fixxer
well the devs can't really do much if they dont have the source code for the youtube app...
if memory serves me right, the youtube app isnt working because of a timeout issue, which is why it works everynow and then...you cant really change those type of settings easily without access to the source. its a problem with how the app was programmed.
also keep in mind the devs are hard @ work on more important things such as getting teh hardware to work 100%, and is something thats within relative easy grasp as opposed to modifying an application without source.
I totally agree. Youtube on 1.5 has been messed up since the November MR, which IMO is totally unacceptable. Haven said that, I hope you guys still using 1.5 don't have to wait much longer but I have to say it works great on 2.1
HQ is only available as default PRE November MR release (yea, before the MR you could set youtube to default to HQ always), and now on wifi.
You can tell a vid to go to HQ after you select the vid. Much slower, but works fine and is clear.

First of all for this to work you have to assume the camera in the desire supports 720p recording. Then, if the cameras are anything alike, you could probably port the kernel bits, then the interface bits, then the camera itself. Looking at the apk alone isn't enough.
Had a go at this my self last night, the apk alone isnt enough and there is no kernal source yet for the Evo.
HTC have confirmed that the desire supports 720p capture, this was expected to be pushed in an update from HTC a few weeks after launch but same old same old.
would be a fantasic achievement, once the Evo kernal is up and all files available I will begin to research and attempt to port if possible.

Eh, no they didn't. They said DivX alright but the 720P thing was just very lightly hinted at. In any case we're recording at 480 now and we get 15FPS, if we up that to 720P you should expect nothing more than a 5FPS slideshow

I defninatly get more than 15fps on 480p, over 20. But i did read that 720p was supported by the Snapdragon and also by the Desire's camera sensor
eh hem....
This was confirmed and laid out on the "pre launch" spec sheet I recieved at work.
720p capture is 100% possible and will come in a future update along with Divx playback.
the drivers/software were not finalised in time for launch.

The hardware support is there, we just need to get our heads down and try and port the correct drivers etc.

It really doesn't matter if it was on an official statement from HTC because the Desire and N1 have the same CCD sensor, N1 now has 720p recording capabilities thanks to FroYo.
does someone can find camera drivers in kernel source code?
It's possible?
Maybe you can......Previously you did a lot of thinks!!!

Seems kinda like a waste of effort. The 2.2 AOSP just came out and we've already got 2 roms that work, albeit very early and limited ones.
It's only a matter of time before a proper 2.2 rom comes out and developers with talent should focus on getting 2.2 out there rather than trying to optimize 2.1 to run flash
would a attempt for this on dount be possible? the speed on that with out old g1's with flash would be great
At this point, it's definitely easier to just port Froyo. And that's already in progress anyway.

Try the skyfire browser. It loads up flash videos and tranlates it to something our g1's can read. As far as I understand it, the flash player on the nexus has tons of hardware specific stuff that stop it from working on other builds (processor, screen size, etc). Besides, skyfire loads up futurama episodes perfectly=p

You're not going to make flash 10 work on an arm7 device because it's compiled for arm8.
What you could try is pulling the flashlite plugin from a hero build (made for msm7k) and try to get it plugged to the new browser, since it accepts plugins.
There's coding required, though, and I've no idea about browser plugins.
I don't think this is a good idea for a number of reasons. Processing power, lack of ram, lack of storage space, small screen, etc...

Yes, I completely agree. If you simply want flash so much just buy the damn phone, you have to take in consideration what our devices are capable of. You can only push it to some point, until it goes poof. Just please, enough with the whole flash topic it's giving me a headache.

I take no credit for this, I just zipped and signed the kernel from ava's previous sense+froyo rom.
anyways... I don't have much else to say. I did this just to see if it would work and it did so I thought I should share
Rear camera is stuck at 3mp, wifi and 4g are down. I am not great with kernels so I will not be able to fix them, this is where I need help.
EDIT: ok so my approach failed. wifi and 4g are still down. I will see what I can do on this but feel free to fix it yourself since I am not the most skilled person with this stuff
Update: ok, so I added nets drivers but it didn't magically make wifi work. he did work on the source and I have never really tweaked kernel sources before. atm wifi and 4g are down which sucks sooo I suggest going to netarchy's kernel. I might take on all this kernel stuff at some point in the near future but I have school work and work that I have to do and I feel like right now I should get that stuff done before diving into a whole new project. I'll leave this up but I see no point in using my hacked together kernel when you have netarchy's now I know all the other devs have the time for this but I procrastinated on summer reading for high school (yeah, I am 16) and I just got immersed in 3 new languages for work. my brain is pretty fried. anyways, enough with this long ramble, and happy evo'ing

fps fix for epson and/or novatec?
Thanks! Once i get confirmation that this works looks like i will finally make the move over to 2.2. Been waiting for a kernel to come out before i did.
I say upgrade to 2.2 because it moves pretty damn fast! I say faster than any other kernel and rom for 1.47 base.
Recording in 720p is super smooth and video performance is very snappy. Don't worry about the "numbers" as it performs very well.
Of course, once the RUU is available, performance will improve.

This is a cross post from my mau5 ROM thread, but I think other people might enjoy it too.
I've put together an update.zip that allows for 480x320 recording via camcorder. Currently, our device only allows 352x288(high quality), this simple hack just allows a greater resolution and I think a clearer picture IMO.
I've set 352x288 as the default "low" quality and 480x320 as the default "high" res recording so that you do have a choice whenever you want. I've also changed the file format to mp4 instead of 3gp since well.. no one uses 3gp for anything.
There are few drawbacks though. 480x320 is the last somewhat "stable" res where the OMX core won't **** bricks all over the place so be weary of any force closes. Also, gralloc likes to crap out when switching resolutions on the fly along with being unable to view the 480x320 video in the gallery app (since we have such bad gfx power).
I do plan on making this STABLE at one point, but it'll require kanging some memory for gralloc to use while changing resolution.
You can check for yourself on the differences with a 352x288 recording and a 480x320 recording
(low light vs direct light)
You can see an example of a video I shot last night at a xmas party HERE to see 480x320 when it comes to more 'motion' recording. (Warning: White people dancing)

Why is the video quality in the CM/AOSP ROMS so bad? I know you said the 480x320 is better, but looking at both of your vides, while hte content was not fun (white people dancing never is) the quality is just unwatchable.

I get bored. You can only push the framerate so high on either quality, and the hero itself has never had that good of recording capabilities.
The htc roms are 'decent' looking because their encoding is handled better and optimized for the proprietary omx libraries which we have no source too

sounds like if they ever get the browser and gmail to work reasonably well it will be time to take the plunge.
Roe, MrGuy, Clemsyn, DJ_Steve, Pershoot and all of the VEGA and Adam developers are amazing. This is very much a group effort over at SLD, which shows in the sheer amount of progress made on this port. Honestly, I woke up one morning to version 1.2, the next day to 2.0 and that night 2.1.
It's not quite ready for prime time, but I use it as a daily driver. No way I could ever go back now.
Working great so far...
I took the plunge and installed this and it looks great. I'm just going through my favorite apps to see what works and what doesn't. I'll update as I know more.
I just tested Video playback and the only thing that works of course is Moboplayer, but it works great, and even works on files that used on play without sound in Vegan 5.1.1 (they now have sound!).
