-help-Xperia YOUTUBE panel stutter

Hey,
I recently updated my Xperia X1 to generic R3a, and then installed the Youtube app/panel onto it.
Nearly every video stutters, like the frame rate drops randomly. I dont think I noticed that issue on firmware R1A. .. so does anyon else have this issue? can someone help me diagnose it?

Uninstall all of your youtube relate cabs and install this.

Once that is installed you can play YouTube videos perfectly. The YouTube application you just installed is Google's YouTube Application.
Okay, now that it's done download the ZIP below, unzip, and install HTC's YouTube Application Cabs.
edit cant upload xda forums not working

Errr
NVM I got it installed... so this is the offical one, huh?

NVM I got it installed. So how do I get a panel?

The panels don't work anymore. I think. Atleast not after I install the new panel manager.

"New panels manager"? What do you mean? And is this new youtube app supposed to be better than the other one that supposedly worked fine on R1A? I guess ill have to settle with this one, even though this one still has stuttering (to a lesser degree).

I think you are absolutely clueless. What do you mean stuttering? Are you talking about your crappy internet connection? If so, that isn't stuttering. Sigh...

...
By stuttering, I meant that the frames dropped dramatically at random times in the video. Moreover, my connection is fine, and I tried two wifi access points.

oh that just means the Xperia is slow. Most of the time my Xperia never lags. I think R3A makes Xperia faster. Something is wrong.

Are there other people who have noticed the lag on youtube? Can anyone test it with this youtube app Otherwise than that, the Xperia is running super fast. Oh, do you reccomend a custom ROM I should try to flash it to?- Thanks

Can anyone esle try the youtube app (this one) and see if it lags? Also, poetryrocksalot, do you recommend a custom ROM I should try that can boost the speed of my xperia and youtube?

Any guides to create custom boot animations?

For the love of God I cannot find a for Dummies guide!
I want to convert a GIF file into an animation and I am not even sure what programs I need to begin with.
Thanks for any help.

fritzgerald is the guy to ask!

I'll write something up tonight.

you need to extract the frames out of the gif file into multiple .png files.
I use something call Gif Frame Extractor. Search for it on google cause i cant post links. w w w [dot] evanolds [dot] c o m
After you extract the gif files its just a matter of resizing and tweaking your image set.
for the captivates your resolution should be 480 pixles wide by 800 pixles high.
name the series of images Image001.png Image002.png Image003.png etc.. I'm not sure what the max allowed images are but from my experimentation anything over 100 images tend to throw my phone into a bootloop. (be sure to have a good CWM backup handy when that happens)
I might upload a video tutorial/screencast later tonight as soon as i fix my phone (bootloop while trying to make the tutorial haha).

video guide is up on youtube
I made a quick guide on how to extract, edit and package your very own boot animation. The video came out crappy cause my screen capturing software didn't play well with Adobe Preimere. I'll try and make a better one over the weekend, but this should be sufficient for a quick reference.

Thanks mate!
With that and the steps fritzgerald I should be finally able to learn this

and music is bad while trying to pay attention to something important i find. hit mute in first 10 seconds the restarted video... couldnt think. 1
just a note for next time.
and i will be watching next time!

yeah i know its bad i made it at 3 in the morning didn't have time to review the video before work. Like i said the capture software totally konked out on me and premiere didnt want to sync the video correctly so im going to have to do the entire video over again later this week. BTW can anyone recommend a good screen capturing/casting software that plays well with Priemiere?

[MIUI-CM7] [SOLVED] Flash videos fix

I was experiencing broken/green flash videos with MIUI.
At first I set permission to 000 for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
This does the trick for some devices, but not for the 2X (at least for mine).
So, instead I set the config.data like this:
DeviceCert=1
HeapSoftLimit=120
HeapHardLimit=150
HwH264=bp:108000,15;mp:108000,15;hp:108000,15;
ProductVer=11.0.1.x
In practice, I changed the fps to 15 and now the videos play fine!
Remember to give again permissions to the file if you have changed them!
It works for every browser, just change this folder in the path: /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins

Awesome!
But for a total noob, how would one go about changing the permissions?
Using ADB, i'd guess?

The easiest way is probably through rootexplorer..

You can change files permissions from ADB shell, or from a terminal emulator on the device by using the command "chmod nnn" where "n" are numbers from 0 to 7.
For example 777 give all permissions to all users, while 000 to nobody (except root).
Or you can simply use a root explorer program on the device

Hey,is it necessary to edit this for each browser?
If yes,I can't find the folder of dolphin browser.
BTW,is it limit the video on 15fps?

I think dolphin folder is something like "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser"
For the fps I don't think the framerate is limited to 15 fps.
From adobe site:
A frame rate of 30 or 25 fps often overwhelms Flash Player. If the video is recorded at 29.97 or 30 fps, use a frame rate of 15 fps

When i try to edit the config data file with root explorer its blank... There aren't any letters, what am I doing wrong?

I know it's strange...but through ADB you can see file content...must be some kind of root explorer bug.
Try this: remove all config.data permissions.
Now you can edit the file through root explorer.
Save and set again permissions (give them all if you don't remember).
You're good to go.

Thank you SO MUCH for this fix! Works like a charm now.
Finally in can watch StarCraft 2 streams on Twitch.tv!

Thank you very much!
Videos in stock browser seems to work now!
But I could not activate the trick for Opera Mobile (which is far smoother and usable than stock browser...).
The similar folder in opera should be
/data/data/com.opera.browser/plugins_data/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player
in this folder there are the same directories "#SharedObjects" and "adobe.com" like in stock browser, but there is no "config.data" file.
So I copied the same file here, restarted everything.. butthe videos are still corrupted with opera

I'm sorry to say that probably Opera doesn't support config.data file
I tell you this because in the devices for which revoking permissions to config.data solved the problem, Opera seemed to work!
I've tested this solution so far only for stock browser and Dolphin HD.

No video bug has made it onto stock firmware.
After upgrading to Cyanogenmod 7.1 on Desire Z (g2/vision) and finding iplayer would only play audio I have done pretty much everything in this thread.
The best I managed was a forced downgrade of flash to 10.something and just ignore all the "update available" messages. I still can't play live TV, but recorded programs are okay. Frame rate isn't as high as it could be, but at least it works.
I resigned myself to this and thought about going back to stock or wait for CM9. Given all the problems I had getting notification lights and GPS to work on my "supported" Desire Z with CM7.1 I'm not holding out much hope of CM9 resolving more problems than it causes, so stock was sounding tempting...
Then the other day my other half was offered an Stock OTA gingerbread update for her Desire HD (2.3.5 I think). Guess what, her iplayer doesn't play video now either! Her flash is up to date (11).
Hopefully this is good news for the rest of us, if mainstream firmware isn't working on iplayer then they are going to have to do something about it. I'll make sure she places a suitable 1 star review against the app on the market.

Thank you,it works very well.

Constant "Video maker" crash.

Hello, I'm having issues with the video maker that came with the note.
Once I open the app and select the theme and as soon as all the videos starts to load up video maker crashes and goes back to create new project screen :/
I was wondering if anybody else is having this issue and knew how to fix the problem?

Are you using a Rooted Device? What Firmware are you on? Do you have CWM Recovery?
If so then try wiping cache and Dalvik cache from the CWM Recovery menu and see if that helps.
You can also go to settings> applications> manage applications> all> and find the app and then clear the app data, etc and see if that helps as well.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently on everything stock. Since I just got this phone and new to android platform I haven't really messed with rooting etc.
I tried clearing data like you recommended but it didn't help still crashing at the "add media" screen. Idk why...
Update:
I guess video maker doesn't like importing videos/pictures from sdcard... After transferring videos and pictures to phone it's working fine now. Is this problem normal? Or just me? Having 2gbs of pictures and videos too much? :/

Some of the files on your list may corrupted. Did you check with other set of files? If newer set of files didn't work.. try factory reset if still didn't work try hard reset, even if it's not working! Rooting is the best option. After that you can install a good working video editor from someone whose app is working good or you can even flash a new rom.

Yeah I copied the same pic/vids files from sdcard to the phone and video maker works perfect so files aren't corrupted, at least I don't think? App just refuses to use the media files from sdcard for some reason I tried factory reset no changes.
Must be something in sdcard cause unless unmounted the sdcard I cant get video maker to work.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

That's it... You found the culprit.. Try with other sd card..

I just formatted sdcard and everything is in order Ty for the help!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Ok after testing what was causing this problem, I finally narrowed it down to "music" folder.
I have about 1000 mp3 on sdcard and seems like loading that many songs in video maker is crashing the app.
Anyone who has 1000+ mp3s try to load up video maker see if it crashes on you?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

That was quite informative though couldn't try.
So it is a cache issue that can be solved by Samsung.

Yeah hope so... I wish I can choose which folder to scan and exclude like quickpic.

I have some 3000+ songs on my SD card and Video Maker crashes on me every time, no matter if I use a video on SD card or internal memory. I have moved the video around to see if that would help, but it continues cashing.
I'm not sure I understand what the solution is from the posts above.

a workaround..
Mine does this too, stock ICS. My SD card has lots of videos recorded by my htc desire, some files are corrupt. All other gallery apps simply ignore those files, video maker crashes.
Find the videos, music and pictures you want to use on the sd card, and copy them to internal sd card. Now go to settings->storage and select unmount sd card. Open video maker, and select media. On mine, it would still crash unless I killed by task manager, and re-opened. Then it worked, and export movie would fail. 2nd time it worked.
Mount SD card when finished.

[Q] Walkman update

Just please don't rip me apart and feed me to lions if this has already been discussed, search isn't returning anything.
Couple of days ago I got a notification about Walkman update, so I said why not and clicked update, since it's not my main music player and I don't really care about it. Well, now I started to care because other music apps can't access equalizer anymore. Walkman app is okay, but it lacks functions and the bottom stripe where navigation bar is supposed to appear is annoying as I've replaced the bar with LMT. Can anyone post older version of Walkman please?
Sent from my Xperia Z

Maybe uninstall walkman?
It will revert to the older version.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Silly me. I, for some reason, thought the updates get pushed directly to the system by Sony Uninstalled the update, but seems like something got screwed up on a deeper level. I still can't get equalizer to work with other apps.
