Its not the best yet but it is working. I have been trying each release not really expecting much and as of today it is working for me.
Prob I'm having is the video lags, but the audio plays normal speed which causes it be off sync.
It has an internaql converter to mp4, which works and the output file is playable in meridan player, but still has prob described above. When I get home tonight ill try converting in super or similar.
The name of the program is simply video recorder.
http://www.android7.org/forum/index.php is their forums. (Which I have not checked out)
Just fig id throw this out there incase anyone else was interested.
For refrence I'm on jf 1.42 rc33
or... you could always go with one of the cupcake builds and have a perfectly working video recorder
Disclaimer: Sorry, I know the cupcake builds aren't for everyone, I just couldn't resist.
cupcake builds not quite there. i tried both and didn't care for the h build at all. loved the g build, but once the market quit, i switched back to jf. would have loved to stay on g, but no market was a deal breaker.
ya i hear ya. from what ive read the 1.5 builds have come a longway. im prob gonna give one a try here tonight, but since ive only had my phone just over a month, i know whats its like in the first few days just wanting somehting stable. for thoses people, fig at least there is some glimer of a vid recorder, lol. at least till they get comfortable trying a new build...or an offical release, ha.
Or you can just wait for the official cupcake release

The reason I ask is not at all to be critical of the development going on with Hero, on the contrary, I think it's going very well. However, today is my last day to return the G1 I got 14 days ago. I love Hero and want to use it on a device with a hardware keyboard. The G1 is the only option for that, but I use bluetooth every day in my car. It's a must.
So, I forward the question, are you guys making progress? Can we count on it getting done or should I take this phone back to t-mobile today?
I'm quite confident for the LEDs. The Hero builds are not such a radical departure that we've all been left stranded in the atlantic, so to speak. When it boils down to it, they're still just Android-1.5, with some extra HTC glue on the top.
However, if you're in doubt, why not return it and get the Hero (when it's released)? HTC's software keyboard is easily the best I've used, so the loss of a hardware one wouldn't sting so much. Sure, you'd have to wait for root, but at least you've have a no-nonsense Rosie.
Magic 8 Ball says: "maybe"
in all honesty no one even knows for sure if Hero is coming to tmo. That might be a factor as well. Really though it's still android..and the g1 is a great phone..we don't know anything about the hero phone from a reliability/battery life/heat standpoint yet. It could prove to be the next iphone 3gs.
Keeping it
Ok guys, I'm keeping the phone. That means I got 2 years of Android goodness ahead of me on this G1. Keep up the awesome work Hero guys, and please get bluetooth running. The rom is fast enough now, and bluetooth's the only thing keeping me from jumping over.
Thanks for the help.

Having gotten bluetooth 98% working under Hero rom I'm pretty confident I'll have a solution soon. I have a feeling that with LED's non-functional and tying up the I2C bus with requests to turn on/off the leds which end up failing, this is causing bluetooth to not be able to disable the uart clock, which coincidentally has to be done over the I2C bus. I know, it sounds like a foreign language just be rest assured a fix for both "SHOULD" be coming soon.
Any news?
15 days passed... got any more progress on bluetooth and leds? Please say yes
Is there any workaround?

be patient. why not downgrade ur phone to a rotted cupcake if bluetooth is soo important. hero is nice on the eyes..but in your case it seems like you need function.
cyanogen is a solution.works well.
Right now, I'm using a Rogers dream firmware, and it works really nice. It has about 80% of Hero (mostly HTC Framework, HTC boot animation/sound, and several apps such as the HTC Music app, and the Hero Java JBED (loving it, lots faster than the Netmite J2ME) just without the Rosie/Sense/TouchFLO (yet...), and its associated mods), and 100% of the G1/Dream compatibility (LED's, WiFi, Bluetooth, Audio, etc.)
And there are Hero themes for the Rogers Dream firmware that aren't unlike those of 'lite' Hero builds (without any Sense). Twidroid, Twidgit, and a weather/clock widget would make it indistinguishable in function, for the most part, from a real Hero.
Though I am hopeful for development on the bluetooth issue, and there's a topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527027) that seems to be making progress on this issue, I can't use a Hero ROM until the bluetooth is functional, as I use my G1 as my main music player, and I don't have a wired pair of headphones to use with them (some kid stole them from me, including the adapter). I do have an iPod bluetooth adapter, but since my iPod 5G, with custom themed Apple OS, Rockbox and Linux, crashed (unsurprisingly), it's not of much use to me currently.

are you using the RogHero build? i forget the dev... ah just checked it's Maxisma. hopefully the hero stuff is done soon with BT, cuz i know LEDs are working on some builds now because i really wanna show my dad (who is so not a techie person) that i can run something besides the Dream stuff on my G1 lol. good luck to all those trying to port the Hero ROM to the Dream...
I think I'm using a soulife build, as my /system/build.prop has:
ro.build.display.id=CUPCAKE.eng.Soulife.20090522.075548
I forgot exactly, as I usually keep my update.zip's on the computer except for a couple important ones.
Has anybody tried the Multiplayer patch yet and has it working. I went to Aspyr today to see if they had any new games out and came across this patch, I guess It's been out for awhile. I tried putting it in my phone it didn't work so I installed it in my laptop. It works fine but I'm not sure how to use it with the game in my phone. So if anybody has this working or knows how to get it to work please shed some info because this is one my favorite games and would love to own some people online.
looking at when the patch was realesed (2007) I'm guessing it will only work for WM5. Maybe I can ask Asypr to make one for WM6 lol doubt it though.
I really want Eclair bad.. but I can not live without a camera.
What exactly is the ongoing issue with getting Elcair camera to work - is it a kernel issue or a user space one?
If it is user space I might start looking into it myself using the working donut code as a starting point.
There seems to be very little information on this board about the *development* of Eclair. Everyone is just talking about builds and cooking. Should I be looking at another board for actual Java hacking to get the user-space working (assuming it is in user-space) ?
I think it's due to user space as everything works fine in Donut builds. For example, BlueTooth works fine in polyrhythmic's Eclair builds for Kaiser, while other eclair builds don't.
I'm sure if someone took a look at what polyrhythmic did with his build, you could get bluetooth working on other eclairs, and this could maybe even help figure out how to get the camera working as well.
Just shows how we really took advantage of polyrhythmic's work.

BT works in the Eclair builds on this forum too, Perhaps not so well on your Kaiser however.
Did Poly get BT audio working?
Regarding the camera. Thats a great question. I am not sure who is working on it?

Guess he didn't, just tried it myself and it only connects. No BT audio. According to his front page that BT audio is a kernel problem.
For the record, I don't care about Bluetooth, at all. But I can't go to eclair with no camera.
If it is confirmed user-space, then maybe I will start looking into it myself... although, I find it hard to believe months have gone by based on a simple userland issue?
i think it is user space also, because using an eclair NBH on warm donut camera works fine, but same NBH with eclair and the camera doesnt work so that would rule out the kernel most likely
Yes, it's a userspace problem, I wrote the userspace cam lib for cupcake and donut but there will be some changes needed for eclair and froyo.
I don't have much time at the moment and would rather make the kernel better with what time I do have.
It's probably not a difficult job to get it working, pm me if you need any pointers.

polymod 2.1g with the BT&WIFI update had btaudio working for kaiser.
2.1d lost btaudio but is a much faster build.

I haven't used Polymod in months. I should probably give it another try.
Hello,
I have had my nexus for about 5 months now and really love the phone.
One big feature that I use is flash video online and I watch streamed TV channels. A few months ago, when 2.2 was originally released I was able to watch any stream I cam across.
However, within the last month, certain video stream will result in my phones browser crashing immediately. The browser does not force close, and there is no error message, just immediately booted back to home screen.
The funny thing is, 2 of my friends who have the HTC desire, are unable to view the same streams. The browser crash is 100% repeatable without fail.
I am currently running STOCK 2.2, with stock recovery, stock (non-korean) radio, stock everything. I reverted entirely to stock from CM6 to see if it would fix my problem but it has not. I have tried CM6, Enomther, Kang and stock roms, Tried the froyo 4.06 radio and the Korean 5.08 radio, all of which have the exact same behavior.
A specific stream that does not load for me (there are others) is The Poker Channel, over at atdhe.net
I have tried both OnDemand and always on for flash settings but nothing seems to help.
If anyone has any ideas or also experiences these problems I would love to hear it. If you need more information or a video of the problem I can provide whatever is needed. I desperately would like to fix this problem.
I have been having the exact same issue with Justin.tv streams it was working when I was on the beta flash and right after the official flash was released. Very recently I want to say two weeks it crashes my browser. The only thing I can think of is maybe its being blocked from there end? I also tried wiping and installing the beta again and same crash

Well that is good news and bad news Im sorry to hear you have the same issue but its nice to know I am not alone.
I would like to get it fixed but I have no idea how to go about it. I have tried almost everything I can think of, including changing User Agent and all that stuff.
If anybody reads this, Is anybody able to watch the Poker Channel from atdhe.net on your phone? Other channels dont work as well, I dont even like poker, but I know that channel is a for sure browser crash for me.
So there is a new flash update that I just downloaded on my phone. Flash Player 10.1.95.1. This seems to have fixed my problem 100%, as every flash channel now works flawlessly.
If only I didnt revert everything back to stock... hahah At least I am happy to have my issue resolved.
I made sure mine is up to date and it still doesn't work it might be my build
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Actually I came back to post that upon going through more channels I find that some still don't work. A majority of the ones that didn't work now do work but I still experience some channels on atdhe that crash my browser immediately. This is while using stock 2.2 still.
That changes my thoughts a little knowing your on a stock build it might be a problem with the stream itself I notice it does it only on Justin.TV streams the ones work great still

I had the same issue today. I was trying to watch a steram from atdhe which I'm pretty sure is linked to Justin TV. Just keeps crashing my browser .
Another issue I've had is watching Colbert report on CTV's and comedy centrals website. The audio plays in slow motion but the video plays normal. Everything else on those sties work for me.
I'm using CM6 nightly build.
As the title suggests, I'm having trouble playing back certain Wave files. I've tried poweramp, winamp and doubletwist. While most of my other Wavs work, I have a particular one that has a really static sound at regular intervals and another that cuts out half way through. I can't understand these issues since my PC plays them fine. Yes I have tried copying them several different times, so it's not a file corruption issue.
Please help!
it could be a compatibility issue from cm7. take screenshots of it and upload to cm7 issue list, i do not think much can help on this. and I think cm7 cannot play .avi files too.
Can you attach the file here so that we can try it on our phone?
Hey sorry about the slow reply guys, I was ill on the day I was going to reply and then royally screwed up my phone trying to get the Doc Rom beta working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can place the song up here. It hasn't been released to the general public, I'm just lucky and know the sto artist. I do have some more information, I tried it on 2.2 stock and it worked perfectly. I couldn't try it on 2.3.3 stock unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is an android 2.3 bug or whether it is a Cyanogenmod bug. I'm using the Miui rom now, which I might add is amazing! However the audio problem is still there, probably since it is based on CM. I might have to convert to Flac in the meantime, which isn't that bad because then I'll have some meta data!
