I have looked all over but can't seem to find a specific answer to this question. Does the latest build of CM have hardware acceleration? I know full hardware acceleration is not possible because Nvidia is withholding drivers from us. I have read that the CM team put together "partial hardware acceleration." What exactly does this mean? Thanks for the answers.
As far as I know, no. In fact, its one of the reasons I'm considering a throwback to Froyo, as it is the only place to find 100% acceleration.

is there a CM6 ROM with full acceleration or you mean stock tnt?

From what I gather, from reading other posts, the CM team was able to "accelerate the hardware" without "hardware acceleration" In other words, they were able to overclock to the point where the system would accelerate the video hardware. Think of it in terms of Windows, you can allocate more of the system memory to "push" certain aspects, be it video, cpu, etc. The problem with this is that to gain the "hardware acceleration" they needed to lose performance somewhere else.

He means any froyo rom. CM is a gingerbread based rom. Calkulin/Clemsyn, Brilliant Corners/Vegan 5.1.1, TNT Lite/Mountain Laurel, Gadam/Century eyes...take your pick, there are lots of Froyo roms out there. The Froyo roms are the only ones that will have 100% video hardware acceleration, because it is the only OS that NVidea provides drivers for.
i use beastly's rom, its non tnt, but is closest to stock that i have seen. not cm6.

CM just means Cyanogen Mod, CM6.x is Froyo, CM7.x is Gingerbread.
I was asking if there is a CM6.x ROM with working hw acceleration and basically asking if the limitation was the OS version, or the ROM, meaning you had to use a TnT variant which had built in drivers.
Since you list Vegan as one of the ones that has it (which is not TnT) then I have to assume a CM6.x ROM would also have working hw acceleration, is this correct?
edit: The reason I want CM so bad is because it is the only ROM where netflix works, so I could not only have hw acceleration but also netflix streaming in the same ROM.

Many people (myself included) have been complaining about this very problem for weeks (if not longer). Netflix only works 100% with CM7.03, so far. Which is Gingerbread. Hardware acceleration has only been fully enabled on Froyo roms.
You can get netflix "half working" with other roms using various patches, which basically will enable it to work, but there will be video artifact problems (big green line through video, colors shifted position ie. red and greens don't line up, etc). Vegan Rom Gingerbread edition can be hacked to work with it as well, however after you basically replace a bunch of libraries with the ones used on Cm7.03, which all just goes back to the following: Netflix really only works on CM7.03.
I'm currently using that rom exclusively because of netflix support, however the jittery performance I'm experiencing elsewhere (like, even opening the app drawer) is driving me crazy. I know the Tegra 2 shouldn't stutter like that.
Having real, bonafide Gingerbread on this device would be a g0dsend, as far as I'm concerned- not only would netflix, etc, work perfectly fine with full hardware acceleration, but also the new Skype video chat.

I've been having problems with netflix on CM7.1, can you point me to the exact ROM you're using?
actually, is there even a CM6.x ROM for the gTab? If not, why not?

On 7.1, I think you need to edit your build prop to make the app think you're an htc device or something.
On 7.0.3, it just worked out of the box.
apologies, I hadn't realized that there was a froyo version of CM...I've only ever known the GB one for the G-Tablet. I've never used it, however, because frankly (and my opinion is known on this) Netflix itself, is not worth having a specific rom, JUST to run it.
WHat REALLY needs to be done is people putting pressure on Netflix to develop a Froyo version of their app. When the app first came out, I read that they were simply testing the waters with the version(s) that were released, and that future development would be based on those reactions. Perhaps there is a way to contact NEtflix, explain your situation, and try to convince them to develop an app tat does work with the tegra 2 hardware and froyo OS.
Rather than modifying your firmware to work with the app, has anyone attempted to modify the app to work with the firmware? I know, personally, I've had problems running most popcap game releases. I'm not going to start messing with my firmware ot play Chuzzle, though...I'll just wait until Popcap releases versions/updates that work better. (oh, and ofr me, the entertainment value of Chuzzle and Netflix are basically the same, lol)
Thanks for the reply's. Now all we need is viewsonic to push nvidia to release the 2.3+drivers...
Isnt there a possibility to get the Xperia x10 Mini Pro to capture videos in High Definition 720p?

Sorry, but no, it happens because of your hardware, x10 mini Pro camera is very good, but still not enough to capture in HD. Fox example my friend has X10 and its 8.1mP so he spoke me he can capture in HD. Its because of his camera (8.1 )

It's because our phone don't have the power to encode video in HD the camera resolution have nothing to do with video recording.
For example some tablets (xoon) or phones (galaxy R) have 5mp camera and record video in HD.

Sorry for my ignorant answer
VGA 640x480 is the highest possible.
As it has been said before, the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro simply don't have enough power to encode video in 720p and higher.
Just an idea... What about saving the raw video stream and encoding it on a pc... (yeah i know it takes a lot of space.)

Not sure what class of sd card you'd need, but the mb/s could still be greater than even class 10 could handle! HD raw is a lot of bits a second.

most probably no
to check just play a 720p(mp4) on arcmedia ,it lags alot
i think it might be possible to record vid on lower framerate(15 or lower)...
Edit1
it has nothing to do with megapixelzz eg:web cams have 2mpx with 720p
For me, X10mini & mini pro is enough powerful to record 720p because many less powerful Samsung or other featured phone can record HD. Also camera does not matter cause iPod touch has a VGA camera which is capable to record 720p at 30FPS. It is just about kernel & camera driver. It is not impossible but may be it is very difficult.

I think you are missing something....by power, i assume, u'r tryin 2 point 2wards "processing" power????...were did you find a cell with less than 600Mhz processing power and YET encoding 1280X720 videos???????!!!!!!!!!....it is just plain impossible......can u site any example to prove me wrong, please??????

is there any video player which plays 720p videos??
My media player only uses a 400mhz processor and 256mb RAM and can encode HD video from either DVB (already encoded to be fair) or analogue RGB input... However, the processor is geared towards media processing, in fact it was built to do that and that alone, if it was asked to render a simple vga 3D game it would probably output 1fps if anything at all!
Some processors are designed for specific tasks which they can do remarkably well, others are design to do many things but not quite as well. Software does play a mighty big part but it cannot overcome the constraints of the hardware in question.
Maybe other phones with HD recording have an inbuilt subprocessor or utilize functions inherant in Arm 7 but not Arm 6.. it might be possible to emulate the functions but the results might not be great.

ITS very very very difficult

I don't think that processing power is the limitation here for higher quality recording. This is what SE used to say for froyo or gb and it's plain crap proven repeatedly.
The problems are:
a) the sensor, i.e. is it capable of higher res. for video recording? 5mpixels are more that enough for 720p (i.e. like the N1) but there's more than the mpixels in the camera sensor to be able to do more.
b) we don't have kernel support for anything more than VGA. And this is sensor specific. If we ever got lucky and another msm7x27 device used this sensor and had better resolution we might have been able to investigate if it's usable.
c) we can't load custom kernels (this stops any other thoughts for the time being).

My friend, by the term "powerful" I meant the processing power too. If it is possible with Omnia HD's 600MHz then it is possible with 600MHz too. I have modded my old Motorola E2 which have a 1.3MPx camera & now I am able to record 720p at 17Fps with that. I just worked with kernel, because E2 runs linux & android is also using linux kernel I think it is possible. I am currently working on that. Let me see If I can prove you wrong

now that we have kernel support.. is HD video recording possible??
whats the easiest way to get 1080p on the atrix ? like is there a file we can flash it with ? Thanks
Not sure about a 1080p camera but there is 1080p recording for the Atrix on various roms. You could try the droid 3 camera.

You can't do 1080p properly on the Atrix yet. All current methods to "hack" this have been proven to be not 100% 1080p. Be happy with great 720p until Motorola releases an update enabling 1080p, (or "if" they release an update).
If you want to go ahead and use one of the current hacks, obviously nobody can/is going to stop you. Just be aware that 1080p recording is not currently capable on this device. It may say 1080p.................doesn't mean it is 1080p.
1080p playback was enabled with 2.3.4.

hello,
i've seen that ics for g-tablet came out and i am thinking to try it.
but i already ahave installed Flashback Honeycomb witch looks the same like ICS.
Any ideas if there are any differences?
Honeycomb:
- No hardware acceleration
- No HD videos
- No Camera
- Flash works in some apps, but not all.
- Been around for a while and has a good dev team.
ICS:
- New kernel built from the ground up.
- Hardware acceleration works.
- HD video works.
- Flash works.
- Camera and mic not working (yet).
- HDMI output not working (yet).
- Still a work in progress with a good dev team.
A impressed as I was by the Honeycomb ROMs, I'm just too pleased with the DRH ROM.

Come on man you really have to think about it. Hardware accelerator thats worth flashing right away. Youtube HD video will explain it all, 1080p.
Hi,
XBMC is coming out for Android and it looks like it's requiring ICS or higher for proper support. This is driving me to upgrade my Flyer from HC. At the same time, I want to retain front facing camera support as I use my Flyer for Skype & SIP video calling.
The Dexter Jellybean ROM looks really good but it appears that there is no camera support (that's not knocking the work he's done - I appreciate there is a technical issue here)?
Does anyone know if Camera support is coming for this ROM? If not - can anyone recommend an ICS ROM.
Thanks

You're right - and it works on my HC Flyer as well. I've heard that development is going to be focussed on ICS and above only though - so I guess there 'may' be issues as the application develops. I currently have problems with my HD Homerun stream dropping out and was wondering if a newer Android build was a better foundation stone.
I'm starting to see one or two other apps that are not supported on HC as well. It would just be cool if I could upgrade without losing the front facing camera but I appreciate it's not everyones priority.
Xbmc for android does not support 1080 hd as it does not have hw acceleration enabled. There are sides builds out there that use external players like mx that can provide hw acceleration
