Ive been searching this forum for three days, and a couple nights, but it just isn't coming together for me...
So here's the issue I'm having: most of my favorite movies are over 1g, no big deal storage wise, but I'm getting some lag issues in moboplayer. qqplayer and the other recommended players don't seem to recognize my .nomedia file on sdcard2. I'm using handbrake to convert. Have tried mp4 and h.264 and the latter seems to work the best for me on ipad and normal presets. Switched from vegan Ginger to vegan 5.1.1 with pershoots kernel, still got no love from anything other than mobo and anything over 800mb gets choppy with soft or hard decoding (soft seems to be working best btw). I did the fps tweak and am scoring around 71 in fps2d. Don't know that it would matter for movies but it couldn't hurt to try. I think that about covers it. Saw some suggestions for changing settings in handbrake but after reading them and comparing to my handebrake ui, it just didn't make sense to me. Currently running vegan 5.1.1, pershoots kernel and fps tweak. I've read where people have said they were running movies flawlessly, to what am I missing here (bet its something easy)? Help a guy out please.
Also, please don't take this wrong, but a "simply search and you will find..." response isn't necessary. Believe me when I tell you I been wearing search function out....
Gracias in advance.

Handbrake settings that work for me (no lag, no skips, no studder):
video: mpeg4
audio: AAC 160kbps
container: m4v
resolution: whatever X 1024 (to keep aspect ratio correct) if coming from greater than 1024 vertical lines, otherwise leave resolution alone and let player do the up-scaling.
Tune the file size to what whatever quality you think looks acceptable.
This is why I recommend one of the TnT based roms (for example calkulin's rom) instead of vegan for most people. With vegan, you really have to do a little tweakings of your own to get things to run smoothly.
I was using vegan before and started noticing I was spending more time than I wanted to tweaking things. Nowadays, I'm using calkulin's very fast rom. No tweakings needed.
Thanks for the quick replies. Will check out the settings again, if I still don't get it then ill check out tnt or caulkins rom
So thanks for the above responses. Jacked with the settings for an hour or 2 and couldn't get a decent copy so I switched over to caulkulins rom and the video is finally working out. Only issue I'm having is the volume is ridiculously low. Can hear okay at home with a pair of bose headphones, so its doable for now, but def wouldn't work on any type of travel with background noise, I.e. airplane... will search for a fix but any suggestion would be appreciated.

Volume too low? Weird. My volume is actually too loud with calkulin+clemsyn combo rom.

I've read that elsewhere as well, but mine went in the completely opposite direction. I dunno. Still looking for a solution
Turn up volume?

Wish it was that easy. It only seems to be happening when playing movies. Web browsing/flash volume is fine. Makes me wonder if its something with the encoding...still searching...
So turns out its something with moboplayer. I dled rockplayer light and the volume was fine but I really didn't want to pay 10 dollars for a media play so I checked out soul player and everything is working nicely so far. Unfortantely, the ui isnt as nice on soul as it is on mobo/rockplayer, but my video is great and my volume is decent. Only thing is I have to set the volume prior to entering the player. And if I mess with the volume while in the player then it immediately returns to barely audible. Oh well, at least its working...
Use RockPlayer. I'm on vegan 5.1.1 and regularly watch videos that are around 3gigs and never have the slightest stutter in frame rate, or audio

I'm on VEGAn 5.1.1 and my volume is to low too. I tried to watch a movie on the plane and gave up on it, and I had headphones. I think it's my tab. I can't explain it otherwise. It was low from day one.

The last few weeks I've been using the headphones now since I'm back to working out. However, it seems at random, that the next track button stops working. When it stops working, the Play/Pause button actually skips to the next track.
I use mine a lot and can say that this has never happened to me.
Well, then I hate you. I am gonna file this as an issue due to being rooted I suppose... Won't matter soon anyways as I need to find me a good set of jogging headphones.
I run into the same problem if I use my actually comfortable headphones instead of the crappy huge buds that can't fit in my ear. These have no controls on them and when using Pandora, it will just skip until I reach the 6 skip per hour limit and then it will still do crazy random things like open my notifications and stuff. I have since gotten some even better headphones and rooted (CM Nightlies) and it no longer happens. I think it is a poorly designed headphone connector that catches random signals, but thats just my opinion.

Hmm, thats an interesting thought. I have been using the stock music player, but am now running CM6 RC1 and have not tested it again, so I'll see how that goes and report back...
So, now that I am running CM6, the headphone buttons do not work at all, and I assume it is because of the different music player being used. Anyone know how I can install the stock HTC Music Player?
Hi guys,
I just followed the instructions on wiping my new G-Tablet device, putting Clockworkmod on it, then I put the latest edition of Vegan lite. It's AWESOME (WAY better than the original!).
Only thing is (and I had this problem when I tried rooting my device once before this after getting it brand new), 1-2 times I've had the speakers just play a loud noise constantly and I have to turn the device off and on.
The second time was early this morning (6am-ish). I had my alarm set for that time and instead of playing the alarm sound I chose, it just constantly played a loud noise that I couldn't stop. Anyone heard of this?

if the sound is a static sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound that happehearden any audio is supposed to be heard yes, I've seen this. It doesnt always happen but after a while it starts making that noise when audio is supposed to be heard.
I bought 2 off of Woot and 1 had this problem. I read somewhere on these forums that it seems to be a hardware issue that only seems to affect a handful of g tabs. Woot gave me an rma for it and is replacing it.

I had the problem with the stock rom and with TNT lite, it wasn't that big of a deal because a reboot would take care of it, but it bothered me because even with the volume turned all of the way down the static sound was loud. I would just feel rude if it did that on a flight or in class....
Has anyone had problems with their browser freezing when using the Nook's stock browser? I can barely surf five minutes without having to repeatedly close, stop, then reopen the stock browser, because it's frozen AGAIN. I'm willing to try any browsers that others can suggest if they're not having this problem with them. After all, being able to surf while hanging out in the living room is one of the main reasons I bought the Nook "Tablet".
I've seen discussions about browser freezing issues in the BN Nook forums, but no solutions, other than a claim that upgrading to 1.4.1 will solve the problem. That seems to be in dispute, however... and beyond that, I have no plans to update, since I'm rooted.
Also, what's up with the pitiful volume on the external speaker? I can barely hear the sound in movies and games, even with the volume turned up full. And Lord help me if there's any noise whatever in the room. Sure, I could get an external speaker or wear earbuds whenever I listen, but it's really annoying to know that my 4" Samsung Captivate, at full volume, is three times as loud as my Nook Tablet.
If anyone can suggest a software-oriented solution to this problem--or a way to increase the default volume levels without jumping through hoops, I would really appreciate it.
Dolphin HD for browser replacement ... not sure about the sound.

Thanks for the suggestion re: Dolphin.
Apparently, this thing with the sound is not an isolated issue; more than one person on the BN Forums has mentioned it, and some have even gone ahead and gotten a refund.
Though I really like the Nook most ways, I admit, I'm thinking about getting a refund myself. The main stopper is not so much the cost of the other tabs, but the fact that many of them aren't as powerful as the Nook and aren't getting as much attention from the devs here at XDA.
It's just too bad the Nook has got these bugs and is attached to a company that, though it's own offerings are pitifully few, insists on forcing its customers into settling for what they want to offer, and nothing more. It could be such an awesome Tablet, if BN wasn't being so anal.
For the sound issue you can use a program called
Equalizer. Look for it in Android Maeketplace. Once installed
It will add a shortcut in your notifications bar
At the bottom. Use the power button on the right
to turn on features, but I would recommend only
Checking the equalizer. DO NOT check reverb
Because it causes stuttering. Lastly, click ok in dialogue box
and then select Equalizer at top. Adjust the middle and high range
Frequencies for a noticeable boost. TIP.. Make sure your
speaker is not obstructed by a protector or case. Good Luck!
Hi guys I read that a lot of people were not happy with the volume of their Nook Tablet. Well when I started netflix and played a movie I saw what people meant. It is pretty bad. Anyways I rooted and blocked OTA's yesterday (Very excited)! So I installed spotify (IDK why with the volume being bad lol) for sh*ts and gigs and played one of my saved songs. It was LOUD. I have no idea why but it was, and Im not exaggerating at least double the output in sound at the max. Im wondering if maybe somehow BN puts a hardware capper or blocker on the onboard sound so it cannot reach it's maximum potential? I couldn't believe how loud my music was playing and was very happy with it! I went back to Netflix and tried a movie and still got same result. Also when I play music with default music players (BN) it's really low sounding. Wondering if anyone knew about this or could possibly tell me more...maybe where I can find something that plays movies louder? Thanks for any responses!
Since I don't have any stock B&N app, so I can't tell why the volume would behave differently. But there are apps on the market that can modify the threshold for you. One came to mind is Volume+. It's pretty neat.
sweet ill check it out i appreciate it
Is it called Volume Control +?

I use Volume+ http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16
My hearing is a bit weak so I set mine to +5 (range is 0 to +15), and it works great for me. Just did multiple plane rides over the holidays and watched movies without a problem.
wow i cant thank you enough! Pandora and Netflix are louder than ever now! Im using +5 too
Hello all, some background first...
I'm having some audio problems with my N9.. It's a black, 32Gb, wifi only version, rooted and running pretty much a stock rom... 'Lollipopalooza', I believe.. (Nice by the way)
I bought it on Amazon about two or three weeks ago for $429, plus I received the $50 Google Play Store credit. Good deal, or so I thought.
Ok so... Like the title says, I'm getting audio feedback, noise, popping, and a sort of skipping effect, while streaming music and surfing the web, loading a webpage, or opening an app.
It sounds a lot like 28k modem from 1996... This happens no matter what app or web stream, and really ruins the multitasking/tablet experience. My N7's (2012 and 2013), never did this.
Has anyone had this happen, and is there a fix?? Or should I return it for another one and cross my fingers??
P.S. I also have the 'flat buttons' issue and screen bleed too.. Thoughts?
Thanks for any "Feedback"... Lol
Its not just you, I have the exact same issue. Its like speaker lag or some ****. Between that and screen flicker this thing is pissing me off. I only really use it for web browsing and youtube, so those 2 issues are quickly making this thing a brick to me.
