Searched for this, seems kind of odd, has not shown in LC's ICS dev 18-02-2012 | IceSoldSandwich 4.0.3 - 3.0.0 | Black Panther Edition. Been watching that since the Inspire ICS closed and he took over. Flashed the rom on the 20th.
Installed without problems after full wipe. Initially, the stock cam worked with not artifacts on my Inspire, had normal WIP rom problems as documented in dev topics.
One the 21st I tried using stock cam for video and it crashed (if you haven't looked over the 7500+ topics stock cam crashes are normal), and after that stock cam became artifact-y.
One work around for Inspire users seemed to be changing build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Desire HD to Inspire 4G or GT -I9250 -- allowing Angelcam to work at 8M with no artifacts.
This did work, then last night, my playlists vanished. Was able to play all music, and browse music in folders in music app (amazon mp3, google music).
Today 02-23-2012 amazon mp3, google music see no music mp3 files on the phone at all, they still are there same directories and can be played individually in google music from file manager.
At the same time as those apps lost connection to the music directory, the gallery lost all access as well.
Tried switching Inspire 4G back to HTC Desire HD no success.
Until, I stop lurking and get more posts done, this will have to do.
Gonna try and wipe and re-flash ROM, see if that changes anything.
Thanks,
--will'm
update
After re-flashing ROM, standard HTC Dersire HD build, cam still has artifacts, yet amazon mp3 and google music can access mp3s again.
I dunno. The only thing that was changed was HTC DHD to Inspire 4G, which I just re-pushed through ADB to get angel cam un-artifact-ed which worked.
LC's ICS is awesome.
I'll re-post if this happens again with something more than just that build.prop change.
Thanks,

I just got this from the sdx forum and not sure if it will work for the hero too or not, or if this has already been discovered, but here it is. This is from the thread I found:
The default YouTube app has it so that by default it automatically plays the videos in lower quality if you are connected over 3G, and high quality if you are connected by wifi.
This upated app tricks it into thinking you are connected via wifi so it'll automaticlly play the videos in high quality.
To install, what I did was first backed up my current youtube.apk in /system/app and used adb push to push this updated one into the same folder, so far at least for me works pretty good.
You probably don't need to backup the original one first, but I did just to make sure I had something to fall back to in case this one didn't work.
Can someone pull it open and lmk if it would work/be compatible with our heroes?
I believe the YouTube version that comes with damagecontrol plays HD. It works for me on 3G.

That sounds good, but the question I have, is does it automatically play the videos in high quality/high def? This apk I uploaded supposedly does that, but it is untested on the hero and I cannot test because I am having a different issue of the fact that regardless of if I have the youtube app or not, it still tries to play the youtube videos I click from the browser in the htc flash player. The installer for this app is broke, so back up your old youtube app and push this one into system/app and try.
on the moment, when you go into the browser and click on a youtube video it will play it in the youtube player, and offers an option to play it in high quality. The apk I posted is tricked into thinking it is connected in wifi mode, so it automatically plays the video in hq every time you open one.

That's the exact same size as mine, does the installer work?
Yet another development question of a stock 2.1 feature. Seriously, I will stop bringing ideas here. In fact, consider this my last one aside from the PRI stuff i mentioned.

so it works fine and does auto HQ on your sprint HTC hero?
you will have to push it to system/app using adb, Fresh kitchen, or root manager etc. It does work well
Hello
*#*#*# BEFORE YOU READ ON only people who have a wind mobile xt720 and dexters uk 1.2 upgrade need to read on*#*#*#
I am a noob at this but I spent most of my day researching the dexter uk upgrade 1.2 (2.2.1) and how to properly install it and I have some questions
I have seen some people saying they have issues with 720p recording(i.e not being able to get 720p resolution and only sd res) and some having issues with music playback.
Can anyone with a wind xt720 confirm these issues? If they are true or not? I ask because there seems to be alot of conflicting reports.
I would cry if something happend to my music playback abilities and I dont want to lose out on the 8 megapixel camera or its 720p hd recording.
If you need any more info just ask and THANK YOU to anyone who maybe able to help me.
And of course ALL HAIL DEXTER and what he has done for everyone who has the xt720 already

Not only ppls from Wind but over the whole world trying Dexter's ROMs have this issue where HD video recording is not recording anything. Just now Dexter said he's fixed that problem and will upload the patch soon.
So, if u don't want to loose ur 720HD, wait till the final stable release has come out. Just now, Dexter has not finalized his work yet. We're just helping him to try out the ROM and reporting the bugs to him.
hd recording found bug and there is no media gallery... gameloft game did work... dunno y it doest detect ext2/ext4..

version 1.2 is detecting ext2 correctly. I'm currently using it. Dexter remove Media Gallery coz currently it cannot playback videos. if u need for other purpose, download the app and install it.
As spider mentioned, there is a patch for the HD encoding. I haven't tried it myself yet though as it is not a big issue for me. I will eventually once I have tested out all of my favourite apps. So far I love froyo, it is much easier to customize the phone to how I like it. A couple of the apps I used on 2.1 don't have a froyo version, but most of them I don't need any more as the functionality is already built in.
I'm also on WIND mobile in TO btw, and my install was very smooth.
I forgot my USB cable that day and ended up doing it all over the air.
THANK YOU EVERYONE I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!! Thanks.!!!!!
I am going to attempt the latest 2.2 update apparently dexter has fixed the 720p recording, i tell ya this guy is a genius!!!!
i will give you an update when I complete the updgrade.
media player issues
Hey again,
I completed the updgrade and I love the new 2.2.1 1.2a but now I am having a major issue,
before I did the upgarde I moved all my musc to my computer and backuped the device through motorola medialink(MML), the first problem came when medialink did not recognize a playlist I had created on the phone. I said no problem I will just remake it. Well now I restore the backup to the phone and only have 70 of my 1000+ songs showing up in the music player, none of my playlists show up either, although when I plug the phone into my comp MML recognizes all the songs and my playlists as being on the phone, I can even play them on the comp. When I disconnect it and restart the phone I dont see any playlists and like I said only about 70 of my songs show up, I have tried three different mediaplayers to solve this issue with no luck,
CAN ANYONE HELP ME??????

There is a known issue with media scanning in 1.2a. To the best of my knowledge you can either use 1.2 which will not do 720P recording or 1.2a which has the media issue. If you want to stay with the 1.2a you will need to try a different music player such as MortPlayer (which I believe doesn't do play lists ) or, I've also been watching, kAmMa's Folder Player for Android (which I haven't tried yet).

thanks man, going to revert to 1.2 and hope it fixes the problem!!!
Some other options... you could consider sticking at 1.1b. It works pretty well, imo.
Or you could use DoubleTwist... which has its own library system... but requires you to use the desktop app to sync.

yah I know about this one, its one I tried, Just not sure if I want to spend the next few hours sorting all my music again lol.
It does have some kool features though
THanks again for the help !!!!!!
I tried to use double twist media player and I installed the app on my phone and pc, on my pc I made a playlist, transfered the playlist to the phone, it was on my phone until I rebooted then it vanished. Still seems to be a problem with media scanning, I also tried Mixzing basic and the regular music player with no success.
A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980018
Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/?j73zh5ld7bpcbqn
I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
Hey guys,
Since I started using this handset I noticed a delay of anywhere between minutes to hours from the syncing of files before they were visible in galleries.
Didn't bother me too much.
At present I apparently have no media.
I am using the following;
- photos / HTC gallery
- music / N7 player
I have no photo albums or playlists within these apps.
Files are on the sdcard, root explorer has no problem loading them.
My last played playlist is still active in N7 player and I'm currently listening to it, but I still can't access my library.
It started when my battery died, since I charged it up 24 hours ago and after multiple reboots and third party media scans, still nothing.
Any ideas?
