Choppy videos with overcome?

Maybe this is just me because I didn't find anything similar after searching the forum...
Videos played smoothly on the stock froyo rom, but after I moved to overcome 2.0.0 RC1, I noticed videos would play with intermittent choppiness.
I figured out that unchecking the "SD: Speed tweak" in the Tweaks app fixed the issue.
Hope this is helpful.

I actually have this issue as well. I see stutter every 30 seconds - 1 minute or so. Was silky smooth before. Hope this one gets sorted, as apart from that Overcome is awesome.

depending on the material youre playing there are some issues right now. search for "stagefright". Changing with blade buddy is the easiest way i think.

I's not overcome related. Even with the stock rom you have this problem.

I meant stuttering
Stuttering, that was the word I was looking for.
Thanks zetsurin for your accurate description.
In any case, my mix of 720p MP4 videos and 480p and 1080p AVI videos all play smoothly now.
And yes, overcome rocks! It gave me a new tablet.

I was replying to the op? Not you, so in that case it was overcome related.

[Q] Flash Video Playback

Greeting from the Charge forum.
I recently tried out a Gingerbread based leak on the Charge and found the Flash video playback to be significantly slower on Gingerbread with or without Voodoo lag fix enabled or disabled.
I don't know if the problem is the leak, phone specific, Gingerbread, or Flash player. I just don't have enough exposure to Gingerbread.
Having said that, I know the Captivate is a much more mature device.
So my question is how does Flash video playback on the Captivate compare between Froyo or gingerbread?
Try this trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
On EE4 (Froyo) with or without lag fix I get smooth frame rates up to and including 720p.
On EP1W (Gingerbread) it's unplayable in 480p and okay (not perfect) in 360p.
Let me know if you get smooth frame rate in 720 or 480p.
Again, these test are in the browser, not the Youtube app. It requires your browser to be in desktop view mode.

If I turn my CPU up to 1440 its smooth. Anything lower its choppy in 720. Smooth at 360 no matter what I'm set to.

I assume you are runing on a Gingerbread rom/kernel. Do you or anyone else happen to have a Froyo rom/kernel for comparison?

Yeah I'm on miui right now. If no one shows up by end of night in a couple hours ill flash to a froyo n let you know.

I'm on stock KH3(latest leaked GB2.3.4) and no OC/UV and no lagfix as there isn't one for it at the moment! its fine at 720P

Great news. So we know that your getting hardware acceleration with Flash video playback. We know that Gingerbread supports hardware acceleration and Flash.
The question is what settings/configuration do you have on your phone that tells Flash to use your hardware (Hummingbird) to accelerate video playback.
Perhaps M3drvr and I can try build.prop edit?

I have used to V8 supercharger for the KAK tweaks and 3G booster and lag nuliifier

I'm on apex 9.3 and do not have any issues with lag. Runs just fine in high quality.

You are running from the Youtube app. I am talking about running Flash video from the Flash player within your browser at 720p.
Try again, and report your results.

You are correct in that I was using the YouTube app and I tried the mobile youtube website before as well without any issues. Although when I switched over to desktop mode, I can't select the 720p setting. I tried on the stock browser as well as DolphinHD browser and when I click on the quality button to select the 720p setting the menu flashes for a sec and then goes away. Not to sure why it does that. Never had that issue before.

Can you post/host/upload your build.prop?
I'd like to see if I can trick Adobe Flash.
Thanks.

Is the flash performance really supposed to be so bad?

Sometimes even 480 p lags and 720 p is like a slideshow. I am using stock rom v20b 2.3.4. Is the performance so bad because of the stock rom or what?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA

I have the same problem , tried with many versions of stock based roms and kernels and different flash player versions but no luck. Now using django manouche rom with stock kernel, best till now with flash player v11 but max 480p videos from yt. witch 720p it's terrible. anybody?
p.s. my friend has galaxy s and the same video from youtube in browser it's working very good even at 720p. Why?

I'm using a modded stock rom and never lag at 480p so try a different rom.
Stop whining about 720p I've seen many vids of those so called sgs playing 720 and it does lag besides that you don't notice the difference on a small screen and for HDTV out it's upscaled so stfu about it. It lags because it's flash.....in a browser perfectly normal.
ICS with real hw acceleration might fix this but who knows and who cares.

I've been reading your comments over many threads, and seriously, you need to fix your attitude. And use proper sentences and commas.

How to make your note smooth and fast?

Guys, recently just flashed kingdroid a I'm in search of the best rom. I'm disappointed however because my note scored fairly low in antutu benchmark test. Any one knows what makes the phone faster and get higher scores in benchmarks? Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Ehh....benchmarks vary so much. It all depends on what you are running (app-wise) and such. Anything can change a benchmark score.
Does the ROM "feel" smooth? Does it run good for you? This is what matters most, not benchmarks.

What really borders me about the note is the scrolling. There will always be aome scrolling lag. No doubt the phone is fast, but why the scrolling is laggy? Eg. Whatsapp scroll.

Try different kernels Bro

Tried the bestest rom and kernel out there but it still cant eliminate the scroll lag. Well there might be some improvements but its not as smooth as sgs2. Anyone out there having smooth scrolling as good as sgs2?

Theres really no best KERNEL or CUSTOM ROM unless you try them all and test it on your device, EACH device acts differently, for instance ICS Stunner may be really awesome on a majority of Galaxy Notes but on mine it struggles.
You can't go wrong by trying out all different ROMS and match the suited Kernel, I know its time consuming but it's worth it in the end as you'd know which ROM and Kernel suits your needs.

I am on Kingdroid and I flash Franco r5. When I used it with Franco updater, I can run the phone at 1600 MHz with v2.0. I am happy with the performance compare with other ICS rom I tried. However it is still not as fast in scrolling as my present sgs2 with Malice rom.

By saying the "best" rom and kernel means that the majority of the community is using and trust. And i had tried ALL the ics custom roms but still the lag is there. Im coming to know maybe there is no way to eliminate the lag. If someobe out there claim that they have no lag, pls share a video thanks.

When I tried some ics roms I found them to be really laggy and there were a few bugs. If u want something really smooth I suggest u stick with GB for the time being until all tje ics problems get sorted out.

Just try Rocket ROm v4 i think the scrolling in RR roms is generally smoother compared to other roms as i have been on all ICS roms there and found RR roms has better scrolling generally. Asylum too is smooth with thor .10 kernel

try KingDroid ICS ROM v2.0 it osum

Should I buy?

I'm thinking to buy a Galaxy S 2nd hand for £97. It's the 8gb model.
I have a few questions to ask
Considering it doesn't have flash what's the camera like? Also what's the front camera like?
Is there anything I need to look out for like certain model numbers having defects etc.?
What's the development like here, is project butter working for jelly bean? Also what's the overclocking like, what's the highest you can overclock to?
Is gaming good on this phone? I know games like Nova 3 will struggle but what about Nova 2 etc.?
I will be very grateful to whoever answers these questions for me, thanks
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

Nova 3 runs fine actually. The only game that struggles is gta 3, but it runs quite well with modded audio, etc.
The best thing about the SGS is the audio chip. Install the devil3 kernel and voodoo sound and you'll have a very good mp3 player.

Camera is great for me and no defects I know about and yes project butter works I recommend slim bean rom

Hey there.
First camera is really good, yeah it would be nice if it had flash, but well.. But there is night mod that really helps, it cant do miracles, but can help in dark enviroment. HD video is also pretty good.
Development is really nice. Theres lots of roms, ICS and JB etc. Im not sure about overclocking, never did it, but i think it can go up to 1.4GHz.
Cheers.
