Why is it every phone I get when I flash a custom ROM the quality of videos mainly on YouTube is not the same as stock?? This is the main reason I don't like running custom Roms.

When on mobile network and not playing HD, yeah there's a pretty big difference in Youtube video quality. I would also like an answer to this. It's bothered me since my HTC Thunderbolt.

Seems to handle some higher resolution vids better... I can watch youtube videos at 720p with no lag... 1080p is a chopfest though
The reason i posted this question was.
People complianed that Flash Player 10.3 makes the experience very sluggish.
So, many have reverted to 10.2 including me.
That is why wanted know how 11 fares in our phones.
11 is much better...jhaste was right on the money

480p videos itself are in not watchable in my mobile phone running MIUI.
So I have reverted back to 10.2

I've been having this same problem. It seems that the problem arises when you start recording right after starting the camera. I've found that if I wait a few seconds after switching to the video camera, the videos come out perfect.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know if your video will be messed up until after you're done, but at least you can improve your chances. If anyone with a little more dev knowledge can suggest something better, I'm all ears. I have an 11-month old little girl and it really sucks when the videos don't come out.

Okay so I looked all over xda, play store, xposed downloaded , Mahdi customization and pimp my ROM. I can't find anything that allows audio for screen recordings. I got this really cool megaman thing going on with my n5. Wallpapers and colors and sounds. I wanted to record it with the sound on. Any pointers?

I noticed it was recording via microphone so maybe it will capture the audio you want. Just dont sneeze cause you'll have to start again

That ^^ and I do know that ROM's have incorporated Audio Recording with Screen Recording. The original commit was made for ChameleonOS so they definitely have it. Other ROM's have it built in as well. As for which ones, you will have to do some research
I'll try the app. I'm currently running Mahdi. Good stuff. I'll read up on the Dev pages. Hope I find it baked in if the app doesn't work.

Or you can just plug a line in from phone to PC and record the audio then mix together.
That's how i usually do it.
This is an old video from my HTC one x.
I had to use a video recorder for the video because there want any way to record android video on the tegra3 soc at the time but I just used the headphone Jack to line in on pc to record and then mix together and you get something like this.

If U are using CyanogenMod U can probably try CyanogenMod Screencast.
Afternoon all.
Recently got an upgrade and since I wasnt to fussed on the S5 I decided to get a Xperia Z1. .
Bad choice since id gotta used to samsung from S2 owned all S devices. . .so luckily i was given the chance to swap the xperia to a lovely note 3 
I really like it and since the specs dont differ much from the upcoming S5 ( camera slighty better and 2.5 ghz instead of notes 2.3) its a good choice i feel.
What i have noticed is the pixel density is lower from S4 and S5 but i really dont see it the difference in fact the note 3 screen seems better?
Anyway sorry for long intro but when i play HD youtube or even the HD helicopter video included on phone i cant help but think the HD isnt as clear or good as the S4 . .
Could that be the pixel density or something else?
Cheers guys

Well YouTube HD movies are little pixelated, download it and play from any video player.

Youtube hd videos are highly compressed. So quality isnt that great
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
HD on Youtube isn't really HD. It's 'close enough to fool everyone who can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080'.
They've compressed the video so tightly it' s become blurry. You don't notice it on an s4 because the screen is much smaller.

The S4 or S5 have the same screen resolution as the note 3 but are considerably smaller in screen size. As the picture is spread out there will be some slight degradation in hd quality but not so noticeable as to be called bad...
My HOXL cant play any HD Video 720p Or 1080p fine without lag whether its mp4,avi or wma

What app are you using? Mx with proper codec works fine for me. Software rendering or hardware?
Have you tried both?

By the way why stock video player cant play it smoothly? I have xperia v also,it has same processor & gpu it plays full hd super smooth with its own video player

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
