Hi Leo Users,
I am considering buying this phone but I need to see how well it handles in android.
Can someone post a video using one of the most recent and more working roms? I want to get an idea of how well it goes.
1. What is currently not supported on the leo?
2. Does all of its ram get ported in android or does it use only a smaller part?
3. What about the camera? Is the camera app using the camera to it's full potential?
4. Video playback? Does it play hd?
5. Is a nand installation of android possible?
Thank you!

1. For each Android distro out there it says in its own topic what's working and what it is not. I know it can't record video in HD 720p.
2. As far as I know, Android uses all available RAM.
3. There are still some issues with the camera, mostly because improvements are still made to native Android phones. I doubt you will use the camera like that. I don't consider it a low point.
4. Video playback is really good and it also plays HD. I tried with some Youtube HD videos and they were ok. Haven't tried with a computer encoded fully fledged HD. I know that there are video players on Android Market that can play all Xvid encoded videos out of the box. Just copy it on the SD card and you are set.
5. At this moment, NAND installation is not possible. There were some major improvements done and I think it will be possible to be functional at some point.
6. I would add the fact that HD2 can run a lot of Android flavors because it can launch them from within WinMobile. This is something you can never achieve with a native Android phone.
7. Battery drainage is still heavy. Every day something new is discovered on how to improve battery life.
I see you own a Wildfire. HD2 is a lot better that it. I read it on a Romanian tech blog, an editor made a comparison between native Android phones and HD2.
Just got my G-Tablet today and installed a few different roms on it with no issues (first time with a droid device! These forums and gtablet for dummies have been a very big help) but it seems that all the videos from say youtube or any site for that matter play with low quality. If I go to youtube and watch any clip that is suppose to be HD and open up the video it looks like 360p on my tablet (sorta blocky/ugly but plays fine). I can't select 720/1080p etc on the video. It just lets me click play and then it goes full screen. In the top right of the video it says "HQ" but it really isn't.
I'm currently using Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V6 ROM (flash works) and everything works pretty darn good. I tried CM7 and Vegan 7 and couldn't get flash to work at all and the video quality was poor as well.
I've tried playing the videos with the youtube app and 4 different browsers all to the same effect (opera, dolphin hd, firefox, and the broswer that came with each ROM). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps: I searched the forum for my exact problem and did not find any threads on it. Sorry if this seems to be a recurring thread. I'm also use to my iphone 4 which plays videos in very good HD quality and the only reason I'm switching to a droid tablet instead of getting say an ipad is 1. price and 2. customization.
anyone have ideas?
If you look around there is something on HQ video. I think until they get the proper drivers it will not work in HQ.
I have a new 1.5g dual sim clone s4. It is running Jellybean 4.2.1. Everything works well except for Netflix. Youtube runs great, video capture is good. I read the forums and did a search, most of the info is before this type of chip is used. I need help fixing the phone. netflix will only do audio, and it will show the captions. We can use the tool bar to fast froward the movie and it will show the movie clips, yet when it buffers to that point in the movie it will buffer and the screen goes dark (video won't play at all) but my question is this, WHY? what had occurred in the chinese making these knockoffs that this would happen? I have tried older versions of Netflix, called netflix, troubleshot the phone with them and no luck.
I have rooted my kindle, I have rooted my HP pad, but this seems to be a minor issue with the phone and 4.2?
Simply reloading a new rom or "here's a new download" doesn't answer the question of why is this happening???? Is it a simple fix I am not seeing? These phones are unlocked and supposedly rooted already, what am I missing? Thanks from a father who wants to learn............
I bought this tablet a few days ago (already knowing that it is from 2011 and that I would have to make some adjustments to it). I have already tested some custom roms and the most stable so far (but not perfect) has been aop 7.1.2. But I noticed a problem that I'm facing in all custom roms, I think even in stock 4.0.4 this also happens: I can't open newer videos (mp4, mkv, 1080,720p, I didn't test all formats, but when I open these files only play the audio and the video is not displayed). I've looked at various topics talking about this issue and the use of video players like kodi, mx player, etc. But the problem is not solved. If the problem is driver or custom rom, can anyone recommend me one that is more stable and is running videos normally?
Hello,
I got exactly the same problem on the same tablet (mkv playing only audio and no video on all players I tried with the Galaxy tab 10.1 from 2011 under stock Android 4)
I did not try other roms for now but if you find a solution I would be pleased to get your feedback!
Thank you

The problem lies on two factors: the first is the absolutely old drivers which are closed source and, according to the developer that stills cares about this tablet, impossible to update/reverse engineering. The second issue is the tegra2 processor itself which is basically unsupported by any modern app (Google ones, for example).
After that, you also has to take into account that modern HD content has higher bitrates than a few years back making it harder for the tablet, that wasn't that great at it in the first place, struggle even more at playing videos.
Thanks!
Crystal clear! Thanks for the answer!

I'm running the same AOSP 7.1.2 ROM but in my case, the sound is not in sync with the video. Weird. Now, using this tablet as picture viewer only.
Greetings everyone,
I have a car which runs an android version 9 (model: ac8x_demo) not rooted.
I've installed youtube into it, but the resolution are only 144p, 240p and can't ever go beyond that (I've checked, all tested videos are 4K!)...
Is there anyway to solve this issue?
What I've tried:
1- Using YouTube Revanced Extended and change video codec model.
2- Using VPN.
I suspected that it has to do with the region of android and model built in China, and youtube is detecting the region thus restricting the resolution? but I'm not an expert by any means...
