1080p - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just installed Neutrino 2.9 and I was surprised to see the video camera is only up to 720p
I need a stable and fast ROM that has 1080p video recording (and everything else working of course).
Fingerprint and docks are not important to me
Any recommendations?
Thanks!!

Neutrino does have a flashable camera addon that does 1080p but it is a waste. Framerates are not as good as compared to 720p

I've made some readings about 1080p lately and all i could find is atrix can record [email protected] and 24fps is average. so the experience is not smooth and fluent.you might want to stick with 720p

Personally, I don't get the point of 1080p on a phone. It's still a phone. It won't make higher quality videos if you increase the resolution, it will just make larger files.

720p Recording

I was wondering if anyone has actually managed to get 30FPS with the 720 mode? When I ran the stock rom I never acheived it and I am currently running trips miui with the custom kernel. He claims 720p at 30fps but Im getting about 17-20. Any ideas

The FPS on the X10 are locked at 24fps. If anyone was able to achieve 30fps with 720p I want to see proof!!!
I tried it on Trips rom with excellent lighting condition and still didn't hit 30fps. And until I see proof, I wont believe its possible just yet.
ps. The fps on the X10 depends on the lighting condition you are recording in. If you have excellent lighting, you will most likely reach max fps as I pretty much always do.
Lower lighting conditions, or say indoor lighting, im usually at around 15-20 fps.
Im aware of the lighting issue, its something that seem so plague most digital sensor based cameras. However with the bypass of the bootloader isnt the 24fps cap on the camera something that could be lifted or is that a hardware issue?

Its something that can be lifted, but the devs aren't quite at that point yet. There taking small steps with the bypass and clearing bugs along the way. 16m colors is also something that can be lifted, which i believe Z is looking into right now.

I doubt that fps will go beyond 25-30 fps. The snapdragon qsd8250 is just not capable of doing it.

new archos 101 owner, some questions for you guys

Hi guys,
I've just purchased a archos 101 and am "reasonably" happy with it... I wanted something to browse the web in a comfortable way without having to boot my PC.
Now I know I shouldn't expect wonders for the price I payed but I would like to get your input on following points:
- browsing is kinda choppy when scrolling. Not really a big deal but off course a smoother experience would be nice so if there are solutions here I would like to hear them I don't know if another browser might make a difference?
- video playback: this is a complaint from the misses , she was going to make a chocolate cake and wanted to view the "howto" movie online. It started up but was really choppy (this is the link to the movie: http://www.vt4.be/videos/chocoladetaart). I don't know if you guys can play this video smoothly with whatever setup you have?
I don't know the resolution of the video (I know the 101 can handle 720p) but if the resolution is higher is there a way to play it in lower resolution somehow without a lot of pre-video-watching-actions?
PS The video played back nicely on my HTC Desire with Redux 1.2 ROM (gingerbread)
What's the advice for this tablet in general to get the full potential out of it? Is installing urukdroid a must or are there other options?
PS I've set power management already to "overdrive"
Thx

Archos still doesn't have a GPU-accelerated version of Flash, so Flash playback in the Browser is a bit rough. I usually find that it's acceptable once you put it into fullscreen mode. Also, that video was fairly high res for Flash, usually I'm watching stuff through youtube at 360p, so you may want to test with some lower quality videos, and don't forget to go into fullscreen mode.
IIRC, there is no way to make the system capable of playing videos over 1280x720. I use Handbrake on my PC to downsample any of my 1080p stuff, but obviously it takes time to reencode. You could use something like TVersity to recode on-the-fly, but I always found it to be a PITA.
Installing Uruk isn't a must by any means, but I like to theme my device and do alot of other stuff that requires R/W access to the system. Performance is better in some ways as well, such as having ext4 partitions instead of the stock squashfs, but it's not a huge difference. Uruk also has advantages such as Ad-Hoc wifi connnections, better phone tethering compatibility, support for DVB, etc.
Overall though, if you just use it to browse the web, I don't think you'll see much difference with Urukdroid. Doesn't mean I don't recommend it though.

I know what you mean, but you can play 1080p on your Archos, but extreeeeemly slowly, around 0.3-0.5 frames pro second
@msticninja : did the video play ok on your device or was it jerky?
I've been experimenting a bit with browsers and so far opera mobile (not mini) seems to be the smoothest... if you activate "opera turbo" it's even faster but pictures are lower quality
I've tried stock browser, opera mini, opera mobile, dolphin HD and Skyfire
cheers

It was pretty jerky. When she was just standing talking it wasn't bad, but once 50% or more of the pixels were changing on each frame, it skipped badly until the movement settled down. It's just too high res for the flash optimization. You can either try to watch lower res vids, which I know is hard in this situation, or you can try to use a Download Helper to download the flash video, then play it in the stock Video Player. Should be no skipping there with the hardware acceleration.
Eventually, someone will either hack together or legitimately release a hardware-accelerated version of Flash for our Gen8 devices, and that should make it drastically better. At least I hope someone will.

I watched that video on my desktop computer and my quad core processor went to 25% on all 4 cores and had burst download speeds of 1Mbyte/s so watching this on a single core non optimized flash will be a disaster.

what I don't understand then is that this video played perfectly on my desire... I know the desire is a great device but what's the difference compared to the archos?

Hardware acceleration enabled flash maybe.

Yes, the GPU acceleration makes a huge difference, more than I thought it should, until I realized that GPUs process data differently, with multiple cores/threads, and the fact that they're designed solely to pump out pixels, not numbers. (Yes, I know that's kind of an idiosyncrasy)
If we get GPU acceleration, it would probably be capable of playing flash games even.
update: just installed Flash Player 10.2.156.12 instead of 10.3 and there is big improvement in the video! it's still a bit choppy but much much more "viewable"

Video (Avi) playback low frame rate/lag ?

Hi chaps,
I have tried searching, but nothing that is spot on other than talking about AVI being a container etc.
I have two phones... and LG O2X and the just turned up Evo 3D (Almost 2 days on one charge at present lol (42 hours so far)). I thought I'd do a video test, so i started playing Bolt from my NAS drive to both my phones to just check general video quality.
O2X: Very very smooth fluid playback, occasional blip.
Evo 3D: Video just seems like it is playing at a low frame rate, it isn't fluid.
What might the O2X have that the Evo 3D doesn't? I know the O2X can record at 1080p and playback at 1080P.. but the evo 3d isn't exactly a slouch?
I looked through all my video's (and they are all in avi files).
What codec, bitrate, and resolution is the video?
According to windows:
Frame Width: 640
Frame Height: 336
Size: 701 MB
Frame rate: 23 fps
Data Rate: 891Kbps
Total bitrate: 1017kbps
Running it in Winamp pro.. it says it's an MPEG 4 Part2 (codec) XVID
I managed to find an MP4 anime I had... and that seems to play ok.
Do you have the GSM model? if so it could be down to the thottled GPU.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do have a GSM model... It wasn't in low power mode at the time if that's what you mean?
If not... tell me more about this throttling (or direct me where to look if that's not too much trouble )

All the GSM roms and stock afaik suffer from very poor results in gpu tests.. nenamark @25fps (worse than a well set up Adreno205 GPU).. it should be @ 45fps mark @ stock 1.2mhz cpu speed as proved by the CDMA versions based on stock 2.17.x.x roms.. with 1.8mhz speeds it probably break into the 50's.
by throttling i mean the behaviour the gpu seems to be showing by watching, for example, the performance needle/meter in nenmark 2,
it sways all over the place! even with a static display at the end of the test. i know this test quite well and it doesn't behave like this on other phones.
all this wouldn't suprise me if it affected hardware decoded avi playback too
Thank you for the explanation (Doesn't stop me wondering how I sort it out though lol).
What app are you using? I find that using Diceplayer and MXplayer - I get nearly flawless playback. Diceplayer is better for up to 1080P content, but MXplayer is almost as good and free.
That said - I'm playing from my memory card.
you can flash a custom kernel @1.5 GHz

Youtube video's and the sample 'green hornet' (etc) video's play just fine. It's the AVI's that seem to make it have a low frame rate (At least that's how it appears). The 02X is fine with it (A downside is that the O2X couldn't play a native MPEG4, where as the EVO 3D could :-D )

I don't want to root and flash yet, as I have my rooted O2X and need to sell that first before I start playing with this phone too much. The O2X did 1.4 very easily (I need also need to keep my warranty intact until a case FINALLY decides it's gonna turn up in the mail.. grr! lol).
You can try 'Emit'
you have to install the pc app too, but it plays xvids etc smoothly even on my San Francisco Blade phone
I know about the lag the OP is talking about. I've tried nearly all video player software on my EVO3D and the only one that plays XVID AVI files perfectly is Diceplayer. Every other player had issues with either poor framerate or audio/video sync issues. Diceplayer handles XVID files very well on this phone. I wonder why none of the other players play them right?

[Q] Best ROM for Video Recording

Looking to use my old tbolt to record band performances. Currently using a 4.04 rom (can't recall which one) and am only getting 12fps at 720p. Wondering if going back to a Gingerbread rom might improve performance. Literally nothing else needs to work, just video. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Camera Quality in Custom Roms

So Devs and users as we Know that Custom roms always decreased camera quality in device so I want to know it happen with note 7 pro custom roms or we are getting quality like stock camera because this phone camera beast in budget smartphone so give your feedbacks?
Photo quality is not more different but video quality and stabilization are big difference in custom ROM I can easily record 120fps full HD videos with EIS no shaky videos I have tasted this its incredibly better than stock miui camera..
