[Q] Choppy video playback with TMobile G2 and Andromadus ROM? - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
I can't post this to the dev forums yet since I'm a new user, so trying here.
I have a Tmobile G2 running kernel version 2.6.35.14-Flinny-V2-gef05671, currenty on Andromadus version Alpha11.
Since Alpha 9, I'm having serious playback problems with any video I captured with the camera prior to switching to this ROM line. Prior I was running CM7 with no issues recording/playing back videos with either the stock player, or DICE player.
Is anyone else having these problems? It's killing me! Last night I tried the new beta VLC player, and it's a tad better, but still basically unplayable.
Perhaps it was my process of installing the ROM? I used SuperWipe, then installed the ROM.
Anyone else had this issue, or have a suggestion of how to fix it?
Much thanks.

Well it seems to be a common thing across several ICS ROMs right now. I guess hardware acceleration is still a WIP

[Q] Is there a fix for CM7 camera exposure issues?

My G2X underexposes by about 4 stops. It seems like I'm not the only one:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/27492-extremely-dim-camera-lighting/
Reading that thread, it seems as if this is a regression for something that was fixed in an earlier release.
Is there a workaround for this problem? I'm running the latest nightly.
Not that I know of. Stock Froyo was fine. Even the official GB update has this issue where the camera is dark. I love and hate this phone so badly.

Netflix - Audio, No Video

OK I've had a few brief searches around I can't really find too much but then I'm not the best at search terms.
I've got a rather Odd problem with Netflix. Now I've started using Netflix religiously over the last month and as we have a new puppy watching it from bed on my phone has been a god send.
The problem I have is it only works on one of my ROMs.
If I use the Netflix App on Virtuous Inquisition I can log in, Select a video and start playing without issue. Great audio and video.
If I use Virtuous Quattro then it plays the audio but no video.
Same for both MIUI's (ICS and Gingerbread)
Tripdroid
and I'm pretty sure it did it for Sense-o-maniac de-sensed aswell.
Does anyone have any ideas whats causing this?
Or how I can fix it? I like swap around the latest ICS roms every now and again and I dont really want to be tied down to Virtuous Inquisition because its the only one that works with netflix
its because it is missing codecs in the stripped roms(non sense) it works fine on all sense roms i have tried (i have 10 roms installed on phone lol)
Well.. I never knew that.
I wonder if there is a way to get those codecs re-installed.
I really want to use Netflix.
Its strange that Virtuous Inquisition works fine but quattro doesn't. Maybe the Beta 4 of Inquisition still contains the codecs even thought they say its de-sensed.

Having a problem with Youtube Vids.

I'm currently running airfulip's AOSP Style X and previously was running dsexton's ICINB 2.3.7 v2. While running either ROM, I was able browse the web but YouTube videos would not always play. I would only be able to play YouTube videos successfully 2 out of 10 attempts. Now just to be sure, I tried them on my windows Nokia 710 and the same videos had no problem playing each and every time. I did this with the phones side to side. Both phones are on the same network, Wind Mobile. I tried fixing permissions, just because that's something everyone recommends when having weird issues like this, but it did not good. I even tried factory reset and re-installing the ROM and then another factory reset for good measure and it still has problems with playing YouTube. It's really weird it will play on the rare occasion, but for the most part, it's a no go. The screen just sits there, with the loading arrow circling trying to load the video but to no success. BTW, when I am on wifi, I do not have this problem. Any suggestions?
Sounds like a data speed problem. Both those ROMs as far as I know have no video issues. Try running speedtest and see. If it is a data problem try flashing another modem. FB's got CWM flashables in the dev section.
hello,
I'm running airfluips 2.3.7 SOAP style X ROM and you tube is working fine
its known not to play videos. and search criteria wont show everything you see as like on a PC because of the different video formats people use that cell phones cannot handle. Although i have heard if you have adobe flash player installed videos will load better in the browser
Best of luck! =)
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried a few different modems, did no good. Ran a speed test with mobilespeedtest.net on both the nokia 710 and GS4G. The nokia consistently was a bit slower, but it had no problem loading up and playing YouTube vids. I really don't get it. My GS4G will play YouTube but it just plays it on and off. Majority of the time it just sits there trying to load the video. Again, I don't have this problem with wifi. So it seems as if it get's real sticky when running off my 3G service, because wifi has no issues loading and playing YouTube.
Did you by any chance install the the beats audio mod? It happened to me after doing so. Reverted, everything's fine now.

No beats audio mod. The fact that I don't have any issues on wifi and the fact that I don't have any issues on the same network with my nokia 710 loading and playing the same videos has to mean there is an issue with the youtube app hooking up to my 3g data service. I'm gonna give valhalla final a try again. I don't remember every having this issue with valhalla final. So if it happens running valhalla final then I think im done troubleshooting. lol.
So it seems Vlahalla Final has no problems with youtube on my phone. It's very odd. I'm gonna just stick with this until I go full time to windows phone when Apollo is out in the fall.
I simply love Valhalla Final.
On my opinion, best ROM this phone has, combined with Team Acid kernel and Adrenaline Shot it doesn't get any better than this.

I have the same problem and I'm running dsexton's icbinb rom. I've been told to use gremlin remover.. but when you don't have access to a PC you just can't. I have no other problem with this Rom the YouTube issue is all! I'm gonna flash the new version of the Rom and see if it fixes it. Also, is it OK to flash over the old version with the aroma installer? Or do I have to do a wipe?

Sorry for the dumb question, but, did you try to reboot ?
I had a problem with YouTube videos 2 days ago and a reboot fixed it.
Apparently some flash or RAM issue.

Is it on YouTube app only, or also while viewing the vids in the browser?
Sent from me
Both. Viewing videos I've taken with camera and avi files play fine.
Good day.
Bump... Really wondering the cause of this. If i had a pc i would do a logcat but i dont.

Maybe you should try the gremlins remover & a new ROM...

Well i softbricked it doing a restore and i wont have pc access until the weekend so no phone... Using my dads now lol

I have the similar problem and a new ROM works, thanks so much.

[Q] ICS, Jelly 4.1.2 Working Video capture? Infuse 4g

For Infuse 4g does anyone know a ICS or preferable 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rom with working video camera (still photos are fine video capture is the issue). I have tried numerous Cyanogen, Paranoid Android, Liquid Smooth, roms for Jelly 4.1.2 and 4.2.2.
Always go back to Paranoid Android 4.1.2 pa_infuse4g-2.53-04NOV2012-152548 . Camera is fine but video capture is glitchy. Same for all the other roms I tried. Only other problem with the rom is that Wifi will stop working but a quick toggle will get it back. Otherwise smooth sailing.
All the 4.2.2 roms I have tried have been extremely buggy and laggy. I was wondering if there was a rom I overlooked running ICS or 4.1.2 that had working video. I put the video camera down to 480p like I was told on a couple of forums and it still crashes if you point it at a bright light.
If no modern roms have a working video camera, what rom should I be following that may resolve this issue. A dev that works primarily on stability vs adding features I can probably download from the app store or find a hack for on XDA. This is for my sister that likes to complain so it has to be stable. I really don't want any features just a modern non Gingerbread rom with a working video camera / and stills (she needs ICS VPN or later for work).
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
The video is as good as its gonna get for now for us. We don't have access to the correct drivers and code to get the video working 100% on ICS and jb. I am sure that one day one of the devs will crack it but I wouldn't hold my breath. Best thing is just do what you did and drop down in resolution and hope for the best. I've been having great luck with beanstalk, and Scott is an extreamly active dev working hard to make the ROM run smooth as well as add features. And if a feature hurts the stability he removed it.

The kernel in jt's cm9 rom over at rootzwiki allows for perfect 720p video recording.
It can be flashed over entropy's cm9 builds using sgs kernel flasher. WiFi doesn't work and perhaps other things as well...

That's interesting, was never aware Jr had once had working 720p...maybe someone could compare that kernel to the current cm9 kernel...and than try and port that fix to jb...

any luck for 720p recording in JB Rom?
There are two very fast and smooth ROMs for JB, Scott's Beanstalk and Andros11's Vanila rootbox for infuse, but unfortunatly video recording for 720P is still the issue, i am hoping some day some one will find the solution for it, Too much hope on our champ- Scott.
any luck tilll now >?
videocam illusion is not the solution, stock camera is much better than the app, its not snapy as 720p recording ,but its not looks good at all.

[Q] Does Netflix work on CM 9/10?

Howdy guys,
I'm curious if anyone knows whether Netflix works on the Xoom using CM9 or 10. I ask because I own an Atrix which seems to be remarkably similar hardware, and I know the CM9 and presumably 10 roms will not playback Netflix video due to Nvidia not releasing the necessary drivers. Because of that I keep it on CM 7. Since they're both Tegra 2, well....? I'm ready to flash over the stock ICS rom, but if that means losing Netflix I might have to reconsider. Would that also mean no hardware video acceleration as well?
I've searched high and low and found one post that suggested someone was running Netflix fine, but I couldn't infer which specific rom he was using. Any thoughts, folks?

Try the MY rom and i bet you will not try another rom,No streaming media apk is rejected..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997434
Thanks for the tip--always meant to try some different roms. I did go ahead and flash CM10 since I already had it downloaded and I'm pleased to report that Netflix does in fact run fine. Makes me wonder why jokersax's Atrix build doesn't run it, though I haven't tested the later versions. Well, it runs but there is just a black screen when video should be playing.
