AD2P significant slowdown with 6.5 - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

Anyone else here have a problem with 6.5 roms when trying to use bluetooth stereo headset?

AHHH thx so much for reminding me.. i've been meaning to see if ad2p switch works with 6.5.. i'll install real quick find my head set and give it a try...
... edit ....
installed jonathan kings AD2P switch.(works like a charm still in 6.5!)
fired up windows media player via the titanium plugin on the today screen played a few songs at full volume via my sony headset
cruised around the menu's and the honeycomb... didn't seem to lag anymore than usual... and was able to browse a web page (xda-dev, of course)
didn't seem any slower than usual
were you using a differ player?
i'm using gtrab's W4X.23 (which rocks!)

Using coreplayer, movies are wicked slower than on 6.1.

same slow down in wmp?

No divx on my Diamond....

Hi,,, using several programs such as Coreplayer or TCMP, I can not watch any divx, xvid, etc on my Diamond... you can listen to the audio, the no video comes out, instead the screen (of the soft... apparently working) goes magenta....
any ideas¿¿¿¿ thx
I'm using Coreplayer v1.2.5 and DIVX works flawlessly.
Which version are you using, and have you tried a hard reset?
I think I installed Coreplayer 1.2.4.... but I guees it has nothing to do with this slightly different version...

am i right that coreplayer isn't for free? i would like to have it, it's the evolution of tcpmp, isn't it?
in the moment i just use divxmobile player, not that great this program...
core player is not free, but it worth the fee, imho.
get the tcmpm working, compiled verion, it's a great free alternative i think!

MP3 Player

I think the built in manilla mp3 player stinks so hard i cant describe it :-D
So are there any good MP3 players around, preferably where you dont have to use the stylus.
Whats your favourite MP3 player for the Diamond?
i would really like the audiomanager seen on the touch cruise etc. on my diamond. Too bad i haven't found a working version till today for the diamond
audiomanager is great, to use with scroll wheel and fingers and is fast.
Definitely S2P...
I'm using S2U2 also... they work great together

old and good gsplayer, for me this is must have.
Nothing beats Coreplayer for a complete media solution!

Totally agree!!! I use wmp with resume plugin for audiobooks. s2p is ok but quite slow and weird ui imo.
Custom music tab
I have downloaded bunch of cd's on my Diamond with album covers.
But i have problem creating "Playlists on the Music tab"., like the one that came pre loaded with phone.
PLEASE HELP !!!

Really laggy video playback..

I've speed tweaked my X1, but it still has really choppy video playback.
I'm using Core Player 1.2.5, are there any settings I need to change for smooth playback?
maybe using coreplayer 1.3.2 will speed it up a little?
Can I upgrade from 1.2.5 to 1.3.2 free?
Also, I remember someone saying something about changing the settings on it to play it smoother..
Ib hate to be "Captain Obvious", but why don't you convert your files to mp4 and watch them with WMP. Coreplayer is not hardware accelerated.
though coreplayer is not hw accelerated, i could always watch movies on my xperia without converting any vids. Never had stuttering. i always watch movies when i have cold hands, since the xperia did a double duty as a heater.
This is reality for the Xperia.
Upgrading Coreplayer
"Trying" TCPMP (won't work)
Different ROMs (custom or updated stock)
NONE of them will work. NONE of them! People kept promising me these things might help; guess what, it didn't help AT ALL.
The fact of the matter is, is that Coreplayer, nor any other player on Xperia other than WMP (Windows Media Player) is hardware accelerated, so you will NOT get decent performance.
However, in order to watch on WMP, you must convert to MP4. What a major pain in the ass.
As I've stated before, this is by far the most critical drawback to all HTC/Xperia devices and I don't see myself purchasing another device similarly- based on this fact.

X2 is promising to have out-of-the-box xvid/divx support from media panel. I hope that they'll umitilize HW acceleration for these formats too. If so, maybe X1 will have that support in some new custom roms. Time will show.
But right now, either convert to mp4 and use WMP, or watch with lags (if it is a standard xvid/divx rip, played on coreplayer on high quality).

Exactly. I had the same problem. What's even more bizarre is that some people (even some senior members) were telling me they had no problems. WTF? I mean, how is that possible. The lag is definitely there and noticeable!
I will vote with my money. The X1 is a godsend device. Thinner, bigger screen, get rid of optical and give a X51v-stye Dpad, better camera, image stabilization, real VGA recording, reasonable price, ATI video drivers and we have a winner!
As was said million times, only way how to play movies reasonably is to convert them and play using media panel or WMP.
Core player won't work except for very low bitrate movies, and for those lucky people who don't see every dropped frame as I do.
could i get a link to a really smooth wm4 converter and what is the best settings for smoothest playback?

It's on the first page..... Last "sticky" thread.....
am i able to convert thru my xperia, or only through pc?
Only on the PC. I am not aware of any coverters that work on the ppc itself. The processors of mobile devices haven't been fast enough for such a procedure, until recently.
i play wmv on WMP and it doesnt seem to be hardware accelerated. its laggy.
wmv is crap. Use MP4 as it has already been said in many threads !
The problem of video lag is only with video taken from camera.
But check my X1 (silver) and another one:

The solution is R1a.
It take less ram (with same configuration) and has powerful performance with video (also scrolling menu etc).
But it needs to fix more thing, like radio, mxp (from r3 is better) etc.
so the top one is r1a?
Yes, R1a with R3a mxp.
Bottom is R3a with r3a mxp.
I try to port r1a driver into r3a, but video palyback is broken.
So the only way is reflash r1a firmware, and made some customization (like radio, camera etc).

Equalizer?

Hi there,
Do you guys know, what's the latest recommended app/util for managing sound?
Audio booster? Headset booster? What version, where to get it?
Thanks!
Anyone any idea?
i think coreplayer can do equalizing but im not sure - check it out maybe

Comeradealexi, Thanks for your suggestion. I have coreplayer, and it's a good player with equalizer, but I'm just looking for an equalizer app without a player. Sometimes I'd like to use WMP, since it's integrated in the WM6.5 todayscreen..
Thanks!

hmm - i dont think WMP has anything like that - you can try another player like Pocket Player - im sure that must have a EQ and you can controll it from homescreen i recall
well I use LCG Jukebox which is very simple
but very effective music player
has a very good EQ.

Thanks guys, but I'm really looking for a OS wide EQ. I'm aware of all the other great and greater players, but WMP is integrated with the WM6.5 finger friendly todayscreen. The others are not (that I'm aware of).
Anyway, I know there is such an player independant equalizer out there. Can't exactly remember the name & latest version. I think it was something like Audio booster or Headphone booster...
There is HTC audio booster or something, but it comes with Manila ROMs only.
There was an SRS WOW cab somewhere on the Elf forums last year. I used it and it worked, but not sure whether it would work with other phones.

Because sometimes when using Windows Media Player, I'd like to be able to adjust the sound

I tried several versions of this software, but none has worked for me.
After installing there was actually no sound anymore.

Mp3 player for Diamond2 is needed! PLS Help me!

Hello,
the default mp3 player of this phone doesn't read ID3Tag. I try using any version but it doesn't work.
Another trouble is that now my player doesn't work anyway.
It's a vary bad player!
Is there something better?
Many thanks!
P.S. i've last original firmware with manila 2.5
nitrogen (freeware)
S2P (freeware) 0.58 recommeded. It's more stable.
Im using the latest S2P, it works wonders really.. except it burns more battery than Pocket Player. Also if you use A2DP, you might wanna use pocket player or use the A2DP fix to stop Windows Media Player from comnig up.
S2P! I've used it for years with multiple devs.
