So now that we have ics the next thins is optimised apps taking advantage of hardware acceleration.. so far iv found
Flash player ... videos work really well on 720p ... page doesn't lag to much either and on YouTube test page it mentions hardware accleration
Friend caster
Mx player
rom manager
I'm not sure how many are fully optimised
Any others ? Would love twitter and Facebook to add hardware acceleration !

Hi,
I've recently bought a Galaxy Tab. It's an euro/international model, completely new. I downloaded Flash, and checked functionality. There's a quite big issue with embed YouTube videos - they lag, a lot. Sound is normal, but video is really laggy. Although I noticed that when I touch the screen and keep my finger there, it displays video normally, as soon as I release it, it starts lagging again.
The tab is now rooted, running the newest overcome, but the issue showed up on the stock gingerbread and on overcome as well. I've tried playback on default browser and on Dolphin HD on all ROMs, and ran the One Click Lag Fix as well, nothing helped. The YouTube app works fine though, it's only the embed videos.
I'd really appreciate any help with the issue - I've searched a lot but found nothing on this.
I have noticed that the flash player in the GB rom from Samsung is GPU hardware accelerated. Samsung probably had some discussions with Adobe to make it happen and I am glad they did When I was on Froyo, I had trouble playing 480p, but when upgrading to GB, I can play 1080p Youtube videos pretty smooth.
One thing I did notice is that the GPU HW acceleration is partially broken when you update the flash player (from 10.1 to 10.3) in the market. 1080p becomes impossible to play, but the other resolutions still work.
Now you may be thinking "if it's not broken, don't fix it" and thats the problem. Flash 10.1 has interface issues. For example, when I try to select the resolution I want to play my Youtube videos at, the menu appears for a split-second and then disappears.
Therefore, my question is that is it possible to hack this flash player, to give it to the interface fixes of 10.3, but still have the same performance?
P.S. The GB rom I am on is Serendipity VII. The flash player that comes with this rom is 10.1.

How are you displaying 1080p on the captivate? Its screen maxes at 4780?[EDIT-that should be 480 ...]

Next we can discuss how well it plays 4K video.
Edited, thanks for the assist Mikey.

I'm running vegan tab gingerbread edition and flash works great, can play video through browser even with the default flash app found through the market. But I was wondering if its possible to get quality over 480P?
Thanks
Flash performance
I don't know of any Android devices that can credibly play flash videos in a browser at resolutions higher than 480p; some not even that dense. This has more to do with the underlying .flv format and Adobe's code implementation of Flash than with the device. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 will just barely do 480p inside a browser window - maybe 10-15 FPS if the content has substantial movement. But it can play it's own 720p videos at full frame rate without issue.
Part of the problem is, Android is an operating system, not a platform in the way that iOS+iPad hardware is. This leaves every phone and tablet manufacturer free to choose from a variety of processor and video implementations. This is one of the things I like most about Android - choice, and freedom (as in speech). But like any freedom, this one comes at a price, and that is the need for software developers to support a wide range of hardware implementations. This is not much of a problem for Angry Birds, but it is a huge problem for Adobe because the decoding of flash video is computationally intensive.
If Flash was open source the community would solve the problem, in the same way that the Linux Kernel runs on many platforms today. But the codecs involved in Flash (VP6, Sorenson H.263, H.264) are all protected by patent, and that makes open source a non-viable solution.
Adobe has not done a great job implementing Flash video for Android, in part I think because they know the war is already lost. The number of iPads in the wild (pushing 20 million this year, I think) and Apple's refusal to run Flash means that alternate solutions like HTML5 and custom video apps (think Hulu Plus or Netflix) will be developed no matter what Adobe does. So why pour money down a black hole?
Hopefully this will get better, as I would like to be able to watch 720p video on my 720p device using Flash. But I just don't think it is going to happen.
HTC sensation and Samsung galaxy s2 working 1080p plays video youtube....
My Samsung captivate with apex 9.3 with talon kernel can play 1080p on YouTube with dolphin hd. But my g tablet can only 720 poorly. But with Mx player I can watch 720p mkv,Avi, and mp4 no problem.
Edit: With Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo 1.2 version 6, I was able to watch hd reviews on gametrailers. Even non overclocked using dolphin hd and latest flash from market.

Can this be ported to Gingerbread in general or to CM7 maybe?
I always thought of the android stock browser being chrome, but regardless no i doubt it just wait till its released for other version by google i seriously doubt your missing much.... firefox turned out to be utter crap.
I would love that
I would love that because it was really glitchy in NOVA CM9, but now I'm using modded gingerbread and using dolphin
there is no way to port chrome to android versions below 4.0. Sorry. It just requires full hardware acceleration, which we dont have either way..
i tried all (and i mean ALL) the browsers i could find, opera was darn good, but eats a LOT of ram (i was playing music and browsing with opera and suddenly the music player got killed...wtf. and opera process was using 170 mb of ram).
so, the best browser is ....maxthon browser, its smoother than dolphin for me, almost same smoothness as opera, has some cool features and gestures. try it out
Hi guys there is someone that want to try carbon 4.4? Omx should be working and all in general. I have just built it from source.
If you wanna be a tester please send me a pm and I'll give you the link!
see you :fingers-crossed:

I tested the ROM and sent you a pm yesterday

Tested ROM...initial impressions
Dialer, Contacts, Messaging apps work fine. Was able import contacts and send a few SMS messages.
CANNOT make phonecalls. Dialer and com.phone force close.
Wifi fails to start. Did not test Wifi directs as I have no compatible devices around.
Bluetooth works and I was able to pair this phone(I9070) to another(Galaxy Mini ).
Mobile Data is working. Did some web browsing with Chrome and it was almost lag free.
Launcher UI is very smooth and there is lots of free RAM.
Camera is NOT working.
Battery life is O.K. Although I have tested this for just couple of hours I observed no battery drain.
Gaming is O.K. Temple Run 2 and Dead Trigger lagged a little. Subway Surf, Ninjump and Jetpack Joyride worked fined.
Video Playback is bad. Using software decoder I was able to play 720p videos and it was a horrible. Same video was play without issues on stock JB.
H/W and H/W+ decoders are not working and MX Player force closes.
BTW the logcat file I recorded is about 6MB. I zipped that file and attached.

You can zip it, it should be less than 500KB.
