hello all
i have a standard xvid clip (640x272) that can only play @ 20.8fps on core player(stock rom) (with itje 10.1 ROM i get 21.3fps)
the same clip plays @ 23.8fps on the touch HD and 24.3 diamond 2(stock ROMs)
i tried so many other clips as benchmarks and its evident that the x1 is constantly %18-%20 slower than other HTC devices with identical specs (cpu and resolution)
can anyone explain this phenomena? i sure hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel
What do you have installed on it? Perhaps some background processes, like panelmanager?
come to think of it, its not just the video that is constantly slower on the x1. its the whole ROM in general (navigating between various wm programs, switching between applications....etc) is clearly much slower on the xperia even though it has the same CPU speeds (just look at an video review of the tp2 or td2 in youtube and you can clearly see how they are much faster)
even the fastest x1 cooked roms are noticeably slower than the HD,td2 and tp2 stock roms
hope SE can do something about that and i hope and i hope our chefs can eventually close the performance gap.

its actully a fresh flash (itje 10.1) with only core player installed now not even emails or contacts are added yet
do you get better performance on reasonably good quality XVID dvdrips (close to 640x272 resolutions)
What coreplayer version did you use to test? I can try installing the same and see what I get. Also, what settings?
Same problem here, videos always cease in the first seconds.
By the way, which coreplayer version is the best to use for xperia?
im not facing a bug like F-Styla as it does not suffer from the stuter i just have constant low performance compared to HD and td2
i just benchmarked the video on an ancient HTC macian and i got 39fps!!!!!!! (on qvga resolution though)
using full version of coreplayer 1.3.2

Since I discovered this great app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467590) never had a problem viewing any video. Great resolution, small size of files, no lags.
However, I heard somewhere that coreplayer can't use hw acceleration on X1. Do not know if that's true also for HTC, but that could explain the performance differences

reencoding videos is not really a solution if you ask me
-my understanding that full qtv support is coming with ver2.0
my problem is that why the heck is the x1 so much slower (in everything)than identically specd devices like the HD. is there an easy way to varify that we are runiing at the FULL 528mhz and overclock in case we are not

Somewhere here in this forum I read that actually the X1 is NOT running at full speed. I know, I have not been really precise... but with a little bit of search you can find out the thread I am talking about.
I think all HTC devices except the original XDA have video sync/playback issues. There are tons of threads on this. Get yourself a PMP to enjoy quality videos.
X1 runs at 400 mhz currently, although the processor is in fact 528 mhz. The downgrade is made in order to save power and lower heat levels. You can check the current speed by installing an app like HomeScreen++.
I would like to see what the X1 can do with the full 528 mhz, but I haven't seen any solution for it so far.
I enjoy perfect quality after I downloaded the app from the front page.

i got a program that can change clockspeed .. up to 528 , with nice settings like , lower it down @ backlight off , lower it down @ power button
it can still play mp3 at only 62mhz badass phone lol
i had it cooked in my rom Touch X 6.1.2b
programs called nueCPL - ClockSpee v1.2 (Build117)

I experienced the same slowness using Coreplayer, I am using v1.2.5.
After I put a non Touch-flo on the SEX1 I did not have a slow Coreplayer anymore, so I would suggest try a different ROM and see if the problem is still there.
I am using gtrabs wm6.5 rom and I have no problem playing video on Coreplayer without reencoding the video.

-just installed it
its says im already @528 (not 400mhz). i changed everything to 528mhz on all settings but that did not help in fact for some dumb reason in getting even less performance now @19.18 fps
-installed home screen ++ but im not sure where the settings is to show current speed (will look more after i reflash)
-turned off touchflo3d also didnt help
-this 400MHZ thing seems like a major problem with the X1, are you sure its true? i would imagine a lot of noise and complaints if it were true ?
-will go and flash into a beare bones rom now to see if it helps

Thanks! That works to make it feel quite a bit snappier (I know its not scientific, but haven't benchmarked anything)
I am also having a video problem, rather than make new thread I post it here.
Well, not a single HD video plays on my Xperia now, Coreplayer tries to but its so choppy and insane which I now know doesn't use hardware acceleration.
Now after converting the video with Touch HD video converter software, WMP says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."
I also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365381
But still nothing at all.
Any solutions? Must I change ROMs to play HD videos?
weird I don't have any problem with video performance, I'm using coreplayer and they just flies!!!!!!!

thats weird. are sure your video files are good resolution
can you make sure of the resolution of the file. also did you use the benchmarking tool in core player
i changed the rom but im getting the same results

- I think its under ...options - indicators.... IIRC.
- It is major and was talked about quite a lot when the X1 was launched.

I had a similar issue when I messed up my video drivers with something I installed. The only solution was a hard reset.
Just as the title says im looking for the best rom for gaming on the g1 3d and 2d. i used my g1 as a spare so that i dont kill my daily phone playing games. all opinions and responses are appreciated thank you
SuperD without the RAM hack or Enomther's
From my experience rom does not make that much of a difference, but the kernel does. Whenever I want to play a game, I use this:
-CM based 2.6.34 kernel with BFS
-Cyanogen 5.0.8 test4
-No sound
-All tasks killed before the game starts (by menu-> applications->running processes)
-Overclocked at 691 min/max (Universal overclock, and always plugged in)
I've also heard that HTC 1.5 roms are very good but I am more then happy with with the frame rates I get on RT2. The above set up get 30.2 FPS on neocore. I need to try some froyo gaming to see if the official git helps it some (its supposed to help with big applications like browser so I'm assuming it will help with 3D performance too). I've found that you can overclock higher/stable-er when plugged in then on battery alone.
Hey yall, two questions...
1) Are there any downsides to installing the 720p patch? like do I lose flash or anything?
2) what exactly is a kernel? I came recently from the cliq community and most of the deving was done on just trying to get 2.1 working, this is the first time I've seen it being talked about so much. What do some kernals do that others dont? If I don't install custom ones what won't I be able to do?
Thanks for the help!
I cant help you much with the Kernel question but the downside to the 720p patch is the framerate, it only records at 15fps in 720p mode (unless they fixed that recently)
The kernel is the core of the operating system. It's like the bridge between software and hardware. They can be compiled to save battery (never does for me) and overclocked to compute faster (no huge difference), make the audio a little louder, etc, but you can still run the same apps and do everything else without changing kernels.
Do I have to wipe roms and stuff to install a new kernel? Or does it just flash over the older one (like a recovery)
1. The downside to 720p is that using the flash led casts some pictures with a green tint. Haven't noticed this myself yet...But you won't "lose" anything. You also must use a kernel with 720p support. As of right now, 720p only works in cyanogenmod (unless otherwise stated...I think Enomther's rom has support also)
2. You need to look at the kernel threads, they will tell you everything you need to know
When flashing a kernel, it's always good practice to wipe the cache partition.

This has been fixed. It is much higher now at 27FPS.

It also no longer casts a green tint. Enomther does have support. Other examples would be eViL's Q&D HTC Sense v.1.00 or RoDrIgUeZsTyLe CM6 LimeMOD both have support.
Any one Managed to get Chrome playing vedios in the background on MIUI ? I can get it to work on many other devices but not Xiaomi MIUI
Im only able to do that only when I switch to desktop mode
I'm on latest global stable 8.2.2 and have switched off both MIUI optimization and memory optimization , I have also locked the app so it remain active and all notification and permission is allowed !
Firefox vedio playback in background is ok
And advise is appreciated
Thank you
you cant play audio in the backround on chrome.

This was a bug a year ago. It's been patched; you were never supposed to be able to listen to anything in the background with chrome.

On Samsung devices example Galaxy S4 it still can play in Background . What do you mean by bug
Chrome bug or MIUI BUG
I Don't know how a feature can be called a bug ?
Thanks

Because it isn't a feature. The Chrome devs intentionally designed the app so that media cannot play in the background. It should not work like that on the Galaxy S4 (because that isn't the intended behaviour). Therefore it is a bug. There might be xposed mods or similar that can enable the functionality but other than using a different browser app you should not be able to play anything in the background.
Does any player here of ragnarok mobile able to dual app this game and make it run at the same not the one that the animation freezes? On miui it works flawlessly

but the second screen freezes. Two games splitted with screen... Only one game at a time can be active on split screen.
It was the MIUI Overlay that does that, Native Android doesn't support.
If you really want to use it then just flash MIUI Roms.
