I am just looking for a technical explanation
why ICS + P500 and adobe flash is impossible?
on Gingerbread Adobe flash was non existent until someone made it available
on ICS is non existent right now but is it impossible or it just waiting for someone to give a cracked at it?
Adobe flash 11 is released on ICS , it is just not compatible with ARM V6.
ICS Version for our phone , we have six version of ICS, and they are all beautiful.. I just wish adobe flash can be played in it
Bytecode, williamcharles AOKP, aspee AOSP, hephappy CM9 , lupohirp CM9
Is it just waiting or the OMX il codecs from qualcomm?
Probably that's because of it's closed-source nature. You can't just recompile one architecture's instructions to another. I do not say it is impossible, but doing it by hand is very huge job to do, I doubt anyone would ever try.
I didn't dig into browser's plugin model on Android, but there should be a reason to reject outdated plugins from execution - lower API level or something.
BTW, there are browsers on Play Store that claims they have Flash support (Skyfire, maybe others). Didn't tried them though.
skyfire does not work very well
it never worked for me
I mainly watch video in putlocker, gorillavid, ovfile, sockshare ect
I watch CSI, NCIS, criminal minds
I guess I will stay with Talho GTR or maybe some other new gingerbread based rom
like oxygen, CM7
I do realize it is very choppy and outdated. but at least it works somewhat to watch TV shows

This question was raised many times but as new (sable) version of mod ROM become available, I would like to ask it again which ROM has most improvements and more complete?
Is it CyanogenMod 7(7.0.3-Harmony) or VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?!?!?!
For example:
• VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 does not support High Definition Video Hardware Decoding. How about CyanogenMod 7 (7.0.3-Harmony), does it?
Is anything that supported by VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 but CyanogenMod 7 (7.0.3-Harmony), does not support it?
I would like to build kind of side by side comparison of 2 latest stable releases.
Ps. Personal question:
Does any of mod ROM support Bluetooth Microphone? (Original build (3588) does not!)
VEGAn-Ginger is built off the source of CM7.0. So if you are running VEGAn-Ginger you are really running CM7 base with some framework changes and a few additions/tweaks that Gojimi felt were better (some Google Apps installed, icon/graphic changes, etc..).
CM7.0 has gone to CM7.01-stable, CM7.02-Stable and now sitting at CM7.03-stable with many nightly versions in between. (Nightlies have moved to a new branch....OS 2.3.4 while the 'stable' versions are on the 2.3.3 branch).
Some of the tweaks Gojimi made in his release are now part of CM7.03 while the underlying source has also been updated by the CyanogenMod team.
Netflix works on CM7.03, it does not work on VEGAn-Ginger.
Both were nice when released, but CM7.03 has moved forward and implemented new features/code updates/bug fixes, AOSP merges etc.. while VEGAn-Ginger is still based off old CM7.0.
Thank you, tcrews.
You probably cleared a lot if newbie (like me) questions by this simple post.
so does CM7.03 support High Definition Video Hardware Decoding? (if not - does it mean I will not be able to watch 1080p videos?)
does CM7.03 support Bluetooth microphone? (I hope it still supports Bluetooth headphones)
Thanks
Partial hardware acceleration has been added to CM7.03 but not full.
The problem is that no hardware drivers for the chipset have been released that are compatible with Gingerbread.
I don't use bluetooth for anything so can't answer that question.
Also, it looks like gojimi has stopped development on the gtablet. It doesn't appear that VEGAn will be getting frequent updates anytime soon.
CM7 is being updated fairly regularly though. If you want gingerbread, also try the gharmony and vanilla aosp based roms. They have all the cm7 libraries
I used VeganGinger till last week. The installed CM7 and am loving it.
No more battery draining when idle. No waiting 20 min for it to boot up. It just works better for me.
Could you pls. confirm, CyanogenMod supports Skype video calls on G Tablet?
Thanks
Ps. I assume TNT Lite (retired) supports High Definition Video Hardware Decoding because it based on Android 2.2?
How bad it, do not have HD Video Hardware Decoding? (Presumably question to current CyanogenMod users) Can you watch movies, any limitation?
i got a new gtab with 1.2 bootloader. I would like to try this new cm7 since it is gingerbread and plays netflix... where is a link with instructions to use this rom?
Thanks!

If you get the chipmunk effect, don't give up, just do some research, for me it was an easy fix, i just had to modify the build.prop file
I have used a USB wireless 2.4Ghz Keyboard on CM7.03 Stable. It was plug and play. Not tried blutooth headphones yet.
Hello,
I am looking to install a stable GingerBread ROM on my gtablet. I am looking for something that supports all the featurs propperly ( video playback, camera, etc). Would be great if I can install Google Apps too. Since they a few 2.3 ROMS out there, was wondering if people here had any preferences. Let me know about your experiences
You are asking for what currently doesn't exist.
The closest to your specification is CM7.03-stable. All the other Gingerbread ROMs are based completely or partially on the CyanogenMod source tree.
NO hardware video drivers have been released (or developed??) from NVidia, though CyanogenMod has some partial acceleration in theirs.
Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out how to get my CM7 NT to stream Netflix in the HD quality of the stock Nook ROM.
I've tried several edits to the build.prop (ro.product.____ and ro.build.___), to no avail.
Are there any specific lines in the current CM7 Internal build.prop that prevent Netflix from streaming in HD, like how the NT comes originally? Or is it some other issue with the CM7 build? Has anybody on CM7 gotten this to work?
Many thanks in advance.
Unless there's been a development I'm not aware of as of right now, you can't, it has to do with the fact that hardware acceleration isn't fully supported in non Stock ROMs. In addition the stock app is believed to be coded differently for the hardware.

I wish that part about the stock app was true, but the stock app works identically to the version that you get in the Google Play store. Reinstalling the stock version on CM7 via Titanium Backup gets you the same low-quality video and delayed audio that you'd get on the downloaded app.
But hardware acceleration will be here, it's just taking a little while. We're very fortunate to have Rebellos, a recognized XDA developer, joining the new-kernel project. He says he plans to start contributing to the project in about a week.

Ah, so it's a hardware acceleration issue then, rather than Netflix<-> build.prop device incompatibility? I thought that was done and fixed in the latest CM7 release?
Also stoked to have Rebellos on board.
i thought cm7 had full HW acceleration- and from using it vs using the rooted nook tablet it DOES play movies Better (i can play/stream a bluray.mp4 file on CM7 Fine, it stutters and hangs using the rooted nook(mx video player streaming over my wireless network for both examples) , it is CM9 that is having problem with the ducati timer conflict with backlight timer....the issue is the hd version of netflix if i remember correctly required the locked bootchain blah blah to get the hd version. not sure if that version will run on cm7 i just installed netflix from googlestore and use that.

If that were true, I think we'd already have hardware acceleration in CM9. After all, it would mean that source code for a hardware-accelerated graphics driver on the Nook Tablet was available. The whole reason Rebellos is joining the project is because we lack said source code.
Celtic did fix a video performance bug in CM7, but as far as I know it was mainly related to video playback and decoding, not graphics drivers. I might be wrong about that (I'm not a developer myself, I just follow it closely) but that's what the situation looks like right now.
Like I said, there's no difference between the Google Play downloadable Netflix app and the one that comes with your Nook Tablet. The key difference is the underlying firmware - stock, for some reason, gets HD-quality and synced up sound while CM7 gets low-quality and delayed sound. I've been following this one issue closely since it's my one pet peeve with the custom firmware we've got available. Hopefully, though, the devs will sort it out. They all seem like competent and talented folks.
the problem is 99.9% of the universe apparently for cm9(ICS) uses gptimer 11 for ducati...and the backlight some other timer
the nook tablet -currently- HAS to run the backlight on.....gptimer 11, the devs- i believe- have found a ducati on a different timer and they are working on adapting it to run on the nook tablet, once that is fixed- the cm9 devs will progress faster
Right now I have my GTab running Cyanogen 7, which is a solid daily driver. However, it locks up when I try to set the internal memory as the primary device. More importantly, the VLC I have running is quite studdery on high quality movies and refuses to play some formats.
Most importantly to the rom I want running is Skype support. Video in and out, sound as well. I see a very limited number of Froyo roms with a Skype fix. Has this been brought to any other versions of android? Obviously I would prefer ICS with VLC and Skype, but I see the roms out do not support the camera.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you will want to go with a Froyo rom for now to get what you want. I am sure they will get the camera working for ICS soon, but right now it's not working and who knows if Skype will work when it does. I like CM7 for it's stability but no HW acceleration means no HD video and poor gaming.
Since you are running CM7 are you on 1.1 or 1.2 bootloader? There is a new version of CM7 for the Gtablet, but I don't know if Skype works or not. My favorite Froyo rom for 1.2 is Beasty, very fast and stable. You can use any Froyo rom that doesn't include the Skype fix by flashing this kernel in CWM.
For better video playback in non Froyo roms, try MXPlayer. It can use software decoding that is optimized for ARM7 (Gtablet) so video playback is much better without working hardware acceleration. By the way where did you get VLC from?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm going to flash Beasty when I get my hands on the tablet again. I'll apply the camera fix as well if need be. Any recommended tweaks to Beasty other than that upon a fresh install?
CM7 RC3 is out now as well, if Beasty isn't all it's cracked up to be I'll load it up. I'm kind of excited for Beasty though, looks great.
Also the VLC version I have is admittedly a little outdated, so I'll definitely be trying a new one. MXPlayer was studdery as well on my CM7 so I'll try on Beasty with overclock.
Hi,
Is there any ROM based on Android 4.x which has Video recording not lagging? The same level of performance as on stock will be quite enough for me... No lagging while video playback would be also nice to have. I have tried Jokersax cm9 and cm10 and both didn't have these things working. Anyway, I would like to thank Jokersax and his work done to offer community the newest fancy stuff .
Or there's a common issue with drivers which prevents having video recording working stable in any ROM on Android 4.x? Is there any other option rather than waiting for official Android ICS release for MoPho?
Thank in advance for replying.

there's no drivers available for us to use for ICS/JB. so everything is hacked to kinda work. in this case it means lots of 2d related things don't work. video recording for example. JB is quite jittery at times. all due to lack of drivers.
if you want a stable rom with everything working. use a gingerbread rom.

CM7 by JOKERSAX is definately the best option for the most stable opperating system in my eyes, no offence to other builds or devs.
the cm10 version is running great for me after doing very small mods to get it working. I DO HAVE WORKING VIDEO ON CM10!!
The video illusions is the only video camera app ive had that works well and dosnt seem to run verry slow.. i had to disable HWA on the gallery and on the camera and the video cam app to reduce jitter and FC. but CM10 or any AOKP seems to be verry solid, i love to run AOKP JB roms from time to time to switch things up, THEBILL has a great selection to offer, jump to page 1 on any build to see what is still broken (borked?)
but the issue is that the drivers are hacked up from gingerbread and this is the best it will be + a few mods to improve quality until the release of ICS comes out, big hopes now with the photon Q being out and running ics/Jb
GOOD LUCK
let me know if i helped any!!
