Since I cant ask in the thread directly... I thought Id make a thread.
It says media acceleration was added in the latest release, but I thought the official drivers were needed for this... and since LG hasnt released the drivers? How is this possible?
I only ask because im on hellfire 2.2 gingerbread and would like to make the jump over to the ICS since many of the issues are being sorted out.
Anyways if anybody can let me know, that would be great. Thanks
Chris
Oh! and one more thing.
If media acceleration has been successfully implemented... what about the domination release by Owain. Would that have it as well? That looks like a great release as well.

Media acceleration is like the video player and stuff, it works. This doesn't mean the camcorder works, it doesn't. The camera does work though. And yes, its in any ics rom you find here.

The media acceleration is good for video playback, it's just that you can't record with the camera. (You still can take HD pictures.) You should be fine as long as you use your phone for RECORDING videos.

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.

I already got that working on my phone at the moment. Im running DarchLegend 4.2.2 and its not fully optimized. Video playback is not as crisp as it should be but I don't know how much better I can get it to run. Let me see if I can upload a youtube video of it in action.
yes please^^
i would so love a stable divx codec on my phone>.<
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)

I've always been messing around with it. The proprietary blobs just get in the way a lot and you end up at a dead end with no resources. :/

Works great. You said we're unable to watch videos in Gallery, but I can view them. I just shot a test 480x320 video.

Not sure. Nandroid and find out
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.
Just curious because on the HTC ROMs it is at least somewhat decent.
Not crapping on what you're doing here Dec, but just trying to understand what you're dealing with.

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

I was going to mention the video recording quality not more than two days ago and was messing around with the app a little here and there, but no need for that now
Thanks again Deca
Does the now low quality 352x288 save as mp4 as well?

bro that video was priceless lol thanks for the little upgrade
The quality is definitely superior compared to the standard. I can't thank you enough. You continue to breathe life into my Hero. Arigato!!
Will it work with AOSP 2.2 ROM?

Hay decad I'm on asop and flash this the only thing I see so far is that after taking video it fc no big deal. When I got to video info it shows mpg4 for mat like it should. I think. If I go to video setting it show some thing different and can't change it. So it works for the most important part the video. Zoom works too

it seems like at least one person is still dedicated to making our htc hero cdma camcording quality better it may not be 720 HD but.... I can't wait to see your future camcorder improvements
People, I will try to fix the cammer in CM7, with that working we will have a full CM7 port for our MM2. Except for the Alt-Lock, and that is not a big problem.
I will merge the droid2 with the defy CM7, only the cammera and the 720P drivers, and make my own compilation, if this works probably we just only need is to keep updated the newest releases with the fixes that Endless make.
I will keep notice no my progress, rigth now I'm downloading the sources. Wish me good luck!
Great......looking forward for this...

Isn't 720p recording a hardware encoding problem, rather than camera?
The only camera problem I have is exposure while recording videos...
And with the option julianlasta suggests, ("merge defy and droid2 cm7 sources"), this won't help, since these two builds don't support 720p...
For some reasons, julianlasta seems to ignore tezet's cm7...

720p uses proprietary drivers from Motorola, and from what I understand, they don't play well with cm7 or custom roms
MS2Ginger and Argen2Stone can record in 720p because both are based on Ch or euro leak, with some cosmetic and minor changes to the rom, and not touching the drivers at all

Hi friends, it's me again.
I really wanna use ICS in my Galaxy SL, and I wanna do the impossible for make it works at 100%, obviously it doesn't gonna work perfect, but if the bugs can be solved with third party apps and works partially good, I'm happy haha.
Well, there's 3 bugs in CM9.
1- Video recording
2- Hardware acceleration in videos
3- Wi-Fi Tethering.
The last 2 bugs can be solved with a third party video player app, and with an app like ''Easy Tether''.
The problem, the video recording.
I know that can works with ''Videocam Illusion'', but I wanna know if it can works with another camera app, like ''Zoom FX'', ''Cymera'', ''ProCapture'', or another camera app. If not, what are the correct settings in Videocam Illusion to get the best video quality? I know that if I configure it at the best, it doesn't gonna work, but I think that the default settings of the app sucks.
I wait for your answers.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.
Greetings!

No matter what the camera is going to stay buggy unless we get kernel 3.x . Videos are working fine for now and you just need to cut down background apps for better performance. Hillbeast is now focusing on booting the kernel after which we have a bunch of hungry developers who are going to help him build the kernel from there.
Videos are working good? Really? I'm using RemICS and the videos doesn't work :/
Today i saw that LG optimus one has a fully functional cm9.
I dont understand how can such an ancient phone can have so good compatibilty.
I envy them.

If they made the kernel then i don't see why it won't work.
Samsung is always sharing BS.
"The galaxy s won't support ICS because it lacks RAM"
MY ASS.
If devs want to do it, they can..
Sooner or later, we gonna have ICS in our Galaxys working without any bugs
