Hello,
I've a question concerning the H/W overlay used in Jellybean. I'm using the HTC Sensation and i've to manually disable H/W overlays to be able to play video. As i read on some other forums one of the key features from jellybean is the vSync and Tripple Buffering which made it increadably fast. Now is my question why doesnt this work on the HTC Sensation as i havent encountered this problem on any on the other forums with cm10 build which use the same chipset msm8260. What makes the HTC Sensation so unique that it doesnt work?

After reading your post several times I'm not quite sure what you are asking, it seems like you contradicted yourself.
What I can say though is that on the HTC Desire S running a CM10 based ROM H/W Overlay has to be manually disabled also to play videos and even at that it is not perfect and there are flaws with video playback.
I dont really understand why h/w overlays dont work while on other devices with the same chipset it does work. What can you do/ where should you look to fix this problem?

Hi there.
Anybody know if there is a way to enable/patch the rom so the hw acceleration would be possible.
i play the mkv files with mx video player and i see that there is only the sw possible.
anybody have any idea?
Such a thing does not yet exist for any AOSP based ROMs.
as a matter of fact it does exist in one GB rom ...

Whilst I see that it is listed as a feature of that ROM, I'd personally like to call bull<insert profanity> on any HW acceleration of video playback claims.

well i have tried the AdyScorpiusMIUI-GB yesterday and the videos with 1080p 30fps played smoothly with normal frame rate.
p.s. i have noticed that the new Miui Special Edition v7 has HW acceleration too.
I'll give it a try today...
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
I have tried many AOSP roms (actually mostly all of them) for i9100g (cyanogen was first ) and the major reason i did not stick to any of them for long time was because of the bad support for hardware accelerated Video play.
Most of the videos play on stock rom without any problem out of the box
Has this issue been addressed or can it be addressed ?
Is there any developer who can look into this??
This would help me and many others to permanently transition to the better performing AOSP roms.
I am a die hard fan of AOSP and wanting to know whether this has been fixed in any of the roms.
Since cyanogen and AOKP seem to be the base for most of roms for my device, i request them to fix it. Others will be fixed automatically.
does anyone face this problem or is it only me????
Fixed using dice player(best video player)
it is better than mx player
I am aware that Samsung have yet to release the Exynos drivers, so how well does 1080p video playback and gaming work in 4.1.2/4.2.1 based AOSP/AOKP roms e.g. Resurrection Remix, and is the performance as good as the stock roms? Basically, is HW acceleration available in those roms because i was under the impression that drivers were needed to make use of hardware acceleration. Sorry if this is a simple question.
This has been discussed and asked so many times by now it's not even funny anymore.
Use search next time. And no, HW composer isn't working in AOSP.

I did use the search feature but the most relevant result that i could find was from 2011, so i was wondering if anything had changed since then.
I knew that there are unsolved common problems like No fingerprint navigation or unlock, Builtin video camera dont work.
but what are the specific new issues, like new bugs/unstable/overheating/unworking features for Atrix on CM10?

Hi.
CM10 with "that kernel" (2.6.39.4) = HWA, camcoder, fingerprint (all working) but the battery duration is very short and some devices overheat and has random reboots.
CM10 with GB Kernel (2.6.32.x) = HWA, camcoder, fingerprint (not working) but battery duration is very nice.
Greetings
Thank you!
I would also like to know if CM9 are having the same problems too, as I know HWA, camcoder and fingerprint are also not working for cm9. Thus it doesn't seem to have 'new' issues for CM10 at all.
And one side question. HWA is invented since Android 3.0 (API level 11), so Can I say even HWA cannot be enabled, the performance is still not worse than that of Android2.3.x version of Atrix due to that issue?

Overall performance its very similar but not entirely. For example, HD video playback don't work fine than GB because we haven't properly libs to use the gpu decoding power, but the GUI its faster.

Also HDMI audio may not work..
