i'm using modded froyo rom for about two weeks and i have one problem: why players can't use both cores for playing videos at 720p or 1080p? yeah i know that all of you would say to convert videos to 480p, but i have a big collection of hd movies and it will take weeks to convert and to go to honeycomb is death for me because of small amount of free ram and i saw some thread on htc forum to edit cpu settings to use both cores.
You could try the ICS build, it plays 720p perfectly.
Also keep in mind that given the choice, you shouldnt choose 1080i/p on the S7 anyway.
The display is WVGA800 (800x480) and it only outputs 720p though hdmi (though everywhere I read that T2 can output 1080p but neither my S7 nor S10 do that, they both output 720p)
My memory's rusty on it, but I believe 2.2/2.3 only had marginal multi-core support at best. There wernt really any dual core devices when either launched. Realistically the S7 shoulda been delayed a couple weeks and launched as a 3.0 launch device. It was literally weeks apart.
ok, ok, i know, i shouldn't choose 1080p vids but if it can play on honeycomb why not on modded froyo rom?
EDIT: How LG OPTIMUS 2X have ability to record 1080p vids on same chipset and same os(froyo)?
Is this a common problem with all the Tab 8.9's or is it just me. I have a bone stock new Tab and when I try and play youtube or other videos, it stops every couple seconds and lags ... Wallpapers all look pixelated no matter what resolution I download ...I love the Tab so far, but things that should operate without too much tweaking or manipulation seem to require a lot of work to get working correctly. I hope I dont regret the decision of not getting an Ipad
Im sorry to tell you, but all Tegra 2 devices are unable to play 720p or 1080p videos without stutter. Even with an OCd Cpu it wont (some people say, but theyre desperate just like all of us..)
Other dual cores can because they have something integrated, that we call NEON. So its not about the cpu speed at all, its about a missing function, to decode HD material (overall video material, but the cpu can handle low resolution vids).
Some codecs on the market (for ex. BSplayer) can help but it'll still be a bit laggy.
EDIT: It is possible to play 720p or 1080p videos. You have to convert the video to H.264 Baseline profile. With that, it should work.

Try mxplayer. I found anything I recorded on my S2 would stutter like mad when played back on my tab but since mxplayer upgraded and added the hw+ decoder it plays perfect. As for youtube this problem has come up since the ICS update and not much you can do about it sorry

Hi
Please somebody confirm is Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 capable of playing 1080p 10 bit (mostly anime) videos?
(please also include info what player you have used, mode of playback, hardware, sowftware, version of a tablet etc)
I am really interested in buying this tablet and the screen is just gorgeous but I am also an anime fan and would like to watch my anime in the highest possible quality on it.
Thanks
Ed

Bump!
I'm considering getting one of the Tabs to avoid carrying my -huge- laptop to watch stuff in other rooms. Also, maybe there's a difference between exynos vs snapdragon regarding video playback capability. Any input appreciated!
And just to confirm... from what I've been reading, T700=Exynos and T705=Snapdragon? there's no T705-Exynos based?

I have yet to see the first Snapdragon for the Tab S series, all of them have been Exynos, i believe that they might use Snapdragon in the NA models to come around november to Verizon and T-Mobile but right now, the LTE and WiFi versions T700-705-800 and 805 are using Exynos.
Video playback has been smooth on my T705 (lossless 1080 flac).

So T700 is Exynos-wifi, and T705 Exynos-LTE.... if they finally roll out Snapdragon based TABs, there should be a new model number, right?
I tried a Hi10P video on a Snapdragon600 based S4 mobile and playback was very choppy -using BSPlayer-, do you know if there's 10bit HW decoding support on the Exynos running the new TABs?

What player were you using? SW or HW decoding? Prolly in SW decoding mode any of these won't be able to produce smooth playback and from what a quick reading on the specs and a couple of sites, the Mali GPU on the Exynos SoC would not support 10bit video decoding... so if I'm not wrong, there goes my hope...

There's no GPU, PC or mobile, that supports hi10p decoding. That said, I have a hard time believing that the Tab S wouldn't be able to play 1080p hi10p videos smoothly as my old Nexus 10 with a far slower CPU almost pulls that off and my Z1c with a Snapdragon 800 plays them smoothly (granted, it's a much lower resolution screen but still) with MX Player.
I've put a test video in the link below that people can try to see if it plays smoothly. MX Player is recommended.

Lol full metal alchemist... love the anime... it play fine on my tab s 8.4 with bsplayer and its extra 7arm codec.
Mxplayer was ok last time but now since they lose some codec due to licensing issue some of the high quality video just play choppy since its use sw mode only.
Btw the tab s also lacking some codec. Dont know why samsung left out some of the codec although the device are capable.

HW wasnt supported. so it was SW.
It's working just fine on my tab 10.5 exynos processor. However i had to turn off all the codec codes and run on pure hardware acceleration for it to work. Goes to show the exynos processor can play videos just fine without any hardware codec or software aid.

I wouldn't know about the Mali GPU capabilities, but I also thought a Snapdragon800 should be able to playback Hi10p, hence I was interested on getting the 'supposed' Snapdragon version of the Tab S 8.4.
The new Mali -T764- though, seems to support 10bit decoding and H265/HEVC, so I was kinda hoping the T628 Mali would do also 10bit decoding...

I hadn't read you... so you got that Hi10p sample that CazeW posted playing back smoothly? which player did you use?
That clip played fine on my 10.5 thru BS Player but SW mode only. All my 1080p rips play in HW mode so not sure... This is still a great device for multimedia.
I use a media player that is banned by ios and android called xbmc or soon to be renamed to kodi. The best media player ever!
It runs great on either software or hardware accelerometer alone.

Where do you guys get these 10bit Anime series from. I normally stream them from Anime.fullfights so quality is never really HD (it says 720p but most likely a bit compressed)

General torrent sites or dedicated anime trackers.
BTW i just bought a Tab s8.4 today, and tried the sample straight away using vlc, smooth playback, will try with the video I could not play with an galaxy s4, which is higher bitrate, if it plays back I would be officially in love with the thing.
No luck, tried a high bitrate video (with embedded subtitles), the same I used on the Galaxy S4, and it plays better but is still unwatchable Both with VLC and KmPlayer. I will install xbmc and BSPlayer tonight but I fear the results will be the same :/

Hi eousphoros, last night I tried with MX Player, HW+ mode did not work, but software&multi core mode seemed to play it back about fine, not absolutely perfect, but watchable, as soon as I flash a custom kernel a play with settings a bit I'm sure it will improve the missing -tiny- bit. Thanks for the tip. Will try also BS-Player&XBMC.
Game Launcher only lets you select between 1080p and 720p. On the previous version I used Game Tuner to override it to 1440p. I didn't want to upgrade, as Game Tuner warned me about no support for Pie. But with the daily update notification, I could only avoid the update for three months before accidentally clicking Update Overnight.
Now my games run in 1080p again. Is there a way to get it to 1440p again? I would even gladly downgrade as this update is just horrible.
I can definitely tell the difference, especially in Real Racing 3, as it does not support Antialiasing; I used the higher resolution as a sort of Super-Sampling AA.
Sooooo open the game without game launcher?
Game Launcher doesn't actually list the resolution as 720p or 1080p. There's a "low resolution" option which doesn't always make a difference (maybe it was already 1080p). For some titles I think they might still run at 1440p but antialiasing has been turned off for more stable performance hence it looks like 1080p. Gear Club stuttered quite a lot if you used Game Tuner 1440p unless you overclocked but now it runs fine overall even if the resolution might be lower.
RR3 is not a good example because the game fails to even render at 1080p in the first place. People have been complaining about this since Nexus 7 2013 and other devices from that time, and the developers just said 'we can't fix this issue". It's done the same thing to me on my HTC Butterfly s, and Sony Xperia Z5, and is one reason why I'm discouraged to continue playing this game and waiting for its long download time. It's disappointing since iPhone gets much better rendering. Asphalt 8 and 9 aren't that much better either.
Before buying the Rog phone 2, I would like to know if modding fortnite to run at 120fps is possible on this phone. I know some people have been able to access and change the cfg file by using magisk and a root explorer to make the game run at 60fps on unsupported devices, but I have never seen anyone try 120fps on android at all.
All I know is that the cfg file is located at(root):
/data/data/com.epicgames.fortnite/files/UE4Game/FortniteGame/FortniteGame/Saved/Config/Android/GameUserSettings.ini
And that you have to change these strings:
MobileFPSMode=Mode_120Fps
bUseVSync=false
UnlockConsoleFPS=True
FrameRateLimit=120.000000
I currently don't have a 120hz phone atm nor do I have a rooted device to try it out myself. If any of you decide to try this out, please leave a comment below so that I can see if it works at all.
Fortnite 120fps support comes from Epic Games, not Asus. There's no way of "modding" the game. The support will have to come from Epic Games.
Also remember that at the moment Fortnite doesn't even support 60fps on this phone, and on the Android phones it does support it, the other elements of graphics suffer A LOT from the FPS boost. Given how Android graphics are pretty terrible to begin with, at 120fps, should you manage to unlock it, the game will look like trash.
If solely playing Fortnite at a decent framerate is your goal, in that budget, I'd recommend getting an iPad Mini 5. Runs 60fps smoothly, doesn't look that bad, and is a great way to play the game. Works great for me. If you absolutely must have 120fps, you'll need to shell out more cash for a PC or for an iPad Pro.
Currently fortnite does support 60 fps on the rog phone 2, but it sets your graphics to high to run at 60 fps. Switching back to any higher sets it back to 30 fps, but you can always move around from high to low for better fps stability.
Here is a screenshot.
I had Fortnite running at 120fps on my s20 ultra using parallel space and editing the same things you are talking about in the space. It doesn't say 120fps, it says option, but here's a screen shot just to show you it is possible.
I would assume you could do the same thing through a regular root.
