[Q] Mlb at Bat 2011 Video Streaming performance across different ROMS - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So let me start by saying I had no idea where to ask to this question. Mlb at Bat 2011 streams baseball games using Flash plugin. My question is why does the flash plug in, and therefore video streaming act so much differently between different roms, and is there something simple that I am missing change the way it behaves and the quality it produces?
I have used it on CM7 nightlys and it works flawlessly, the video image is perfect I could convince someone that my phone had a tv tuner built into it. Unfortunately for reasons I'm not going into CM 7 is not my daily driver rom but Sprint Lovers is, Two entirely different beasts I know. The thing is on Sprint Lovers Rom Mlb at Bat 2011 with flash streams video like garbage, can't hardly tell what is going on half the time, I'm sure you've read the reviews on the market about the quality streaming. Is there a tweak to fix this? I know Cm 7 has several tweaks and sprint lovers is generally a stock rooted rom? Maybe a different kernel on the Sense rom would help this? I really don't want to go throw tossing different things at my phone until I know what I'm working with.
Thanks.

I'm using Net 4.3.4 on a sense based rom (virus airbourne) and it streams just fine, very fluid video.

I also used to use Net's 4.3.4, though on Myn's Warm 2.2, streaming worked great...
OP, you may want to try flashing a different kernel and see if it helps...

Thanks for the suggestion I switched out the stock HTC Kernel for Nets 4.3.4 like you two suggested and now all is gravy. Makes me wonder how all the non rooted evo users are managing without pulling their hair out.

[Q] Would you mind helping a Android noob?

Ok,I'm new to Android, fresh out of Windows Mobile and might not know what I'm talking about, so... here we go,
I'm looking for my dream ROM, and kernel combination
Is there a ROM out there that has:
Delicious Froyo
4G Enabled
Can use Bluetooth controllers - (Wiimote, MSI BGP 100) [I guess that means it'd have to be Senseless?]
Retains its HDMI out functionality
Uncapped FPS
Over 2 multi touch points
Stability - Doesn't crash often
Decent Battery Life - (More than 5 Hours)
Swype Keyboard
802.11N Wireless Support Enabled
Overclocking support would be nice, but probably not necessary
I'm currently running Fresh Rom, but its starting to seriously lag after a few weeks of use, I guess its because of all the apps and widget mods I installed. And stupid Sense keeps starting up when I start my phone, even though launcher pro is my default home.
So I'm ready to flash another rom to have a clean start, now that I kinda know what I want.
There isn't a ROM with all of that
Looks to me like most (if not all) of the things you want to do can be done on Fresh. If it's lagging, wipe the caches using Amon and see if that speeds things up. I ran Fresh for a long while with no issues. For the past 3 days, I've been trying out the latest Baked Snack rom, and it's very good, too. The only thing I'm not sure about is the multi-touch feature because I haven't come across the need for it yet. I recommend you do the same thing I'm doing and everyone else does: Download them, flash them, keep them for a few days, and then try another rom. You'll be able to eliminate the ones you don't care for and then narrow down your choices. Do a search for multi-touch and see which roms have fixes for it, and try those out first.
or at least ava froyo v7, thats got everything working for me and use a kingsxkernel
I believe most of those are functional on most of the ROMs now. As far as swype keyboard, I think calkulins ROM (evio2) has that natively, or there's a new ROM someone else was working on that I think had swype listed, it was called echo5 ROM, I think. It's not on the first page, it was on the 2nd page last time I saw it.
The fps, overclocking, and >2pt multitouch are all functions of the kernel, I believe. And the 2 main kernel devs (kingx, and netarchy) support those functions in their kernels, which will flash on most any custom ROM
(I'm fairly new, from winmo, too. I was reluctant and apprehensive for awhile, but really starting to like Android, not to mention most the great devs from winmo are drifting to Android, or already have. Xda has made the transition that much easier)

Like stated, any Rom can be anything. You can flash almost any kernel with any ROM..You can start with the stock ROM and flash what you want to get what you want...very customizable compared to WinMo.
That being said, I'm running Calkulin's EViO and love it. I can get almost 10th hours with heavy, heavy usage. With multitouch visualizer from the market, I can see 4 touch points. The phone is overlooked and fast as veal...never laggy. 4G works just fine. Lastly, the latest version has sense as an add-on, so no worries about it starting.
And, I have swype as an .apk if u want it.

Thanks for the quick replies peoples, I went and wiped both cache, and the dalvik cache... even though I have no idea what the dalvik is, I'm using Anon Ra btw.
Calkulens Rom and a kings kernel sound like what I'm looking for, but what about the Bluetooth I know that sense based roms have corrupted Bluetooth settings, so no gamepad, are calkulins roms senseless? And work with wiimotes?
Sent from my HTC EVO
VaelPak is the greatest. Just doesn't support bluetooth controllers but may be in an update soon
Swyped from my VaelPaked Evo 4G
Um no you can't flash kernels on most roms. They are either for sense roms or asop (senseless roms..cm6) you have to read the kernel thread... and swype you can install on any rom just search and you will find out the apk. For it. 4g doesn't work on cm6 so that's out the question then...
Most kernels are set to 1.19 to 1.22 top overclock.. setcpu is a paid app to over/underclock.. battery life there are a lot of things that causes bad battery. Bad reception, screen brightness, a app that keeps your phone awake, the settings of your CPU...etc...

10hrs of heavy use? Please explain heavy heavy use because I get 4 tops even with the battery trick.. btw I use a wall charger not the phone. I have tried about every rom including yours and what I call heavy heavy usage is non-stop on phone. I can be on here on full battery, txt and do research on phone and get only 4 tops. Even with underclock.. you use wifi during heavy usage? Stock battery?
Just don't believe 10 hours heavy usage...

So that combination of Calkulin's Rom and King's kernel will not work?
And does Overclocking seriously affect battery life?

When you overclock your CPU is running faster than normal which in turn needs more juice... kind of goes hand in hand...
Yeah that should be fine. If I'm correct its a sense rom. When you look at a kernel you usually read what it has implemented and what your looking for in a kernel. They tell you which one its made for. Just was letting you know..
Also always do a nand backup in case of loops or anything goes wrong..

CM6 vs Vaelpak

I am thinking about flashing CM6 this weekend just to see what it's like. I have been on Vaelpak 2.2 and been very happy with it. I tried some of the sense roms first (Baked and Myn mainly) and didn't think I would like a non-sense rom but I am digging Vael w/Launcher Pro and haven't really missed sense.
I know that the ultimate test will be to try it out myself and I plan to. I am also not trying to start another blanket "which one is best thread" but I would like to hear some thoughts from some of you Rom Warriors that have spent some decent time with both to see what I should expect as far as these two are concerned.
Other factors: I am not in a 4G area, HDMI isn't important (right now anyways) and I never listed to the FM radio anyways. I also have one of the Chinese batteries on the way, so as long as the weight of it don't scare me off, I hopefully won't have battery issues with either rom.
With those factors in the mix, can some of you offer your informed opinions of what I should expect to see/miss if I flash CM6?
I think both have new versions cooking (see what I did thar) so just give me your thoughts on the current versions.
Thanks a bunch!
I am doing that right now but I am coming from Fresh. So far don't like it. No Market- so far, I found a "fix" but it doesn't work, so I have a phone with web and that is about it!! Need to search some more but tied up with kids etc...

Did you install gapps, per chance?
AOSP is something you either like or dislike ... there is no middle ground. I have used CM6 extensively, but I also maintain a nice "Sense" rom, for whenever I'm in a 4g area. On that point, I may not need it much longer, as CM6 will be going 4g very shortly. Also looks like HDMI will be working soon ... FM Radio has already been added.
Basic aosp, like in Cyanogen's rom is very quick, very smooth, and just works. You will hear about people who are having an issue here and there, but it's almost always "user error". That doesn't mean that CM6 is perfect, but it is highly evolved and almost there.
Most of the people coming from "sense" will not like it. Although it doesn't have all the widgets and stuff ... almost everything can be replicated. For example, I like the look of the clock/weather widget and so I use "fancy widget", an almost exact replica. I also like launcher pro, and it works perfectly. I could go on and on, but you will need to decide for yourself.
Do a nand back up of whatever you're currently using, and jump in. And don't give up after a couple of hours. As with everything new, there is a learning curve ... and you should do some reading/exploring. Ask lots of questions ... there is plenty of help available ... all be it, with the usual XDA "style". I will leave you with this final thought ... Cyanogen is without a doubt, the foremost Android developer ever.
CM6 will be smoother, less lockups and just overall run better. I haven't run Vael's so I don't know if he uses AOSP contacts and dialer, but I prefer the AOSP contacts and text apps. I download Dialer One from the market to get T9 dialing.
Integration with facebook contacts and twitter is much better on CM6. CM6 may have 4G working soon, FM Radio is working now, and HDMI is close as well. The camera app on CM6 is leagues better than any of the other camera apps.
Just make sure when you install cm6 that you install the Gapps zip since you need that to get maps, market, gmail and the basic google services.
I have a lot of time with both roms. Vaelpak's rom is fantastic and his support is quick and spot on. probably the developer that is the most reachable when you have a problem or question. Very smooth, stable, and fast. CM6 takes a lot of fine tuning to get all the apps you want and get it set up to exactly the way you want it. Its so damn fast and smooth that people in 4g areas run the rom anyway because it's performance out weighs the lack of 4g and hdmi. And snap's kernels and his support team are second to none. When 4g makes it to CM I will run that rom as my daily exclusively on my EVO until the new dual core phones come out or the EVO 2.

Sorry, this video cannot be played

Alright, guys. I've been searching for an answer to this problem for about 2 weeks now and I can't find a great answer.
I converted my AT&T Tilt to Android successfully and I've been trying out a series of different ROMs to find the one that works the best for me. Currently, I am running 2.6.32_VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11.NBH from l1q1d with barebones 5.1. However, I have tryied Incubus's Super Froyo, Myn's Warm Donut, etc. I've been very happy with most of the builds; however, I have problems playing video in every single release of Android that I have tried. This includes through Android's included movie player, Meridian, and the youtube app. I am using panel type 2 when I reconfigure the kernal using atools. I don't know if this is the correct panel type, as I don't know how to figure out which one I have. I don't know if this makes a difference for video.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could get video working in Android on my phone? It's the last missing link in getting my phone to work the way I want. Thanks.
Seriously. No one else has experienced this problem? I've literally spent hours searching XDA trying to find a solution.
Youtube works on mine... tell you what. Flash the nbh with panel type 1.
Even if you get screen artifacts, or other issues, try the video. If you can play, then you've isolated the problem to the panel type. If not... oh well.
I'll try meridian and see what i get.
Just out of curiosity, I tried flashing it with all three different panel types; same results. I have overclocked to 520 mhz; would this cause any problems? Every other program seems to work fine. I'm honestly baffled.
Via Atools or RogueTools ?
Via atools. Thanks.
Do not OC via Atools. Might not have nothing to do with it, but RogueTools seems MUCH more stable. Just and advice
Removing the overclocking from atools has not made any difference. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Same problem. I managed to play some videos with poor quality, so maybe this is a performance related problem.
Looks like it's back to WM for me. The lack of video is a dealbreaker for me. Sorry that you're having the same issue, sloikas. Windows plays everything I've thrown at it.
Back to the dark ages on our kaisers lol? What may be affecting your video playback is the radio rom. It actually contains a little more than the radio and in my experience can affect playback of videos. Also if your trying to stream over edge, good luck with that. Over wifi I have next to no issues with Barebones 4.55, overclocked to 575 mhz and on wifi.
Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity, I tried three different radios: 1.70.18.02, 1.70.19.09, and 1.71.09.01. Same results with each of them. I don't have a data connection with my phone, so I am only using wifi. I have also tried to play MP4's on my SD card.
Video is supposed to be working. How exactly do you have it set up atm?

use KAISIMG, And mind that you need a corresponding kernel. Atools is creating problems for me in editing the kernels. I suggest you try a stock kernel with respective build. (FROYO kernel for FROYO, Eclair kernel for Eclair and Donut's for Donut). So far, Meridian is the best media player for me and I am using it on Donut (Warbyte's or Myn's ? your choice).
To check which panel type is nice and good is to check your SCREEN's colours. Are they perfect? is Touchscreen working good? and is brightness set good. First thing you notice after flashing wrong panel type is colours. Deformed Colours, usually u see each pixel as showing rainbows.
Flash a KAISIMG kernel I say and do not play with them on Atools / iHex or what so ever.
For instance try this,
http://phobos-lab.net/android/Warbyte Donut RLS04.zip
kernel is included and panel type is set to 1, Device keyboard is set to HTC Kaiser default. I say use iHex to edit the nbh for your suited panel type/keyboard.
Installing Data on SD Card can cause browsers to malfunction and almost Force Close on anything. Try installing on NAND (both SYS and DATA)

To play video, convert your clips/video to mp4 and use yxplayer to play them. This was the only working solution for video issues for me. Now I can play any video as long as it's in mp4 format and i'm using yxplayer to play it.
About youtube...are you on WIFI or mobile net? Youtube on wifi defaults to HQ video which our kaisers cannot play for some reason. Solution use 3G/H or if you're on wifi .......when the clip is loading click a HQ icon on the screen it should be in the right upper corner on the screen(depending on youtube app. version) that should load LQ/MQ version which plays fine on kaiser.
Thanks so much to dark_prince. His instructions worked perfectly for me. I now have a perfectly working (for me) Android phone. Awesome! Thanks to all that tried to assist.
Was just curious as to what build you were using. It basically sounded like he said to use a vanilla build with atools edit'd for whatever build you are going to use. I hate Donut just due to how old and slow it is. I do not think the build you are using matters, it sounds like you had a kernel configuration problem if it is now working.

for OLD I might agree. But for SLOW I wont ever. Donut is far far far far far far better than those eclairs or froyos out there. Particularly when my battery lasts for a day on Eclair / Froyo, it lasts for almost 48 hours crisp while using Donut. So please sir...
Well its like I said before, it is really the kernel that is making battery last longer. My barebones with a proper .32 kernel (Still waiting for clemsyn's .32 to be committed to git) and stock speeds is plenty fast and gets almost equal battery with more features and apps. I of course could overclock it but that drops battery to around a day which is more than adequate.
video doesn't work for me either....
I have VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11 changed to kaiser and to panel 2 with atools... CM 6.1 barebones build both sys and data on nand... and is working really fine ( is the only one i've tried... )
already installed meridian and rockplayerbass the best i could get was with rockplayerbass with software render but the image was very ver slow... =(
erickrause01 , did you installed only kernel or entire build that dark_prince advised? and did you changed panel? what is the difference to change panel with atools and ihex? ( dunno how to use it ;P but if necessary will learn...
If only the kernel is needed to be changed, if i install new kernel do my installed build be ok or the process is re-installing kernel and then build again? i'm still with this doubt...
I would like to stay with this build because almost everything is running fine... little by little i'm getting my android to "perfection" hehe although some apps aren't working i'm finding solutions for almost everything.. video and camera is not one of that .. yet ;P
sorry for the bad english ;P
edit: when installing kernel i've changed name to KAISIMG
edit2: build is Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1 RLS5.5 not barebones....

Canadian Desire HD from TELUS

Anyone out there using this device yet? I'm about to pick up a Desire HD from Telus that has been unlocked. I just wanna hear your thoughts.
Particularly, any issues with flashing ROMs? or modifications in general? Telus had locked up the Milestone very well before that devs had no way of rooting\modifying it.
Any known issues so far?

With "other" roms do you notice any speed decreases or anything laggy? Did you happen to flash a no sense rom on your telus dhd with no problems?
No, I have not found any lag with the custom roms, however there are a couple of nagging issues.
I am currenlty running Android Revolution 2.0.12 on my Telus DHD using the Telus Kernel. Sound works fine, battery life is good, signal is good but it is now struggling to play HD Youtube videos and some games (That use 3D) are failing. This is a known issue with the Telus Kernel and I can't wait for the source to come out so we can patch some of the more custom kernels.
is there a way to differentiate between a soft unlock and a hard-coded unlock (SIM)? Perhaps within the About Phone section?
Not really a major issue but really depends on what you want to use the phone for and your Data plan. Im told by Telus support that the data should still work when you see the 3G logo instead of the H. I have seen otherwise and it stops, really noticeable while streaming music. this has happened only a small number of times and could be for many other reasons.
Second issue. I have used many different programs that allow you to stream music by playing .pls files, Shoutcast. most of the streams fail to load via mobile data connection and give you an error connection failed, but work 100% of the time via Wifi and my BB Torch which is 3G only. Telus support could not find a reason for this so the only reason they gave me was network limitations.
anyone else notice this?
luckily I can still return my phone and go back to my Torch
For anyone with a Telus DHD, the new Android Revolution 2.0.14 has the new Apache kernel built from HTC's new source. Wokrs great out of the box, no sound or video issues so far!

Help with Kernel choice

So I am developing my plan/process to do my first root.
I have decided on Syndicate because it seems like the most stripped down version from what I have read, stable and fast.
With that said, I am having trouble deciding on which kernel. I do understand that every phone is different, that my Epic may not take one rom and or kernl but will take another.
GOAL: I am wanting to make my phone as fast as possible on the stock speed. I dont care about overclocking or anything like that. I want default there. But I want to make sure the kernel I choose is as stable as possible and plays nice with the battery. (edit: when I say fast as possible, I just mean zero lag, easily moves between screens and apps)
Since my 64gb ipod was stolen, I am going to be using my Epic and Google Music for my mp3 player, so music quality is my top concern.
I will then theme my phone, most likely just icons though.
with that said, I guess I have a few choices? TwilightZone, Genocide, etc. I am reading as much as I can, but cant really see what benefit one gets over the other.
I do not tether.
I always use wireless when I can.
Mostly music, some facebook, I do use it to browse.
Then the normal..texting, phone, etc.
If you see any confusion on my part, please go easy on me and let me know

Genocide 2.0 by Rodderick. Hands down
Thanks, I appreciate the response.
Poweramp has been my musc player top choice... if you use slacker and set it to cache while you sleep you can replay your cached selection without using any data later, data connection kills battery in the background too. I have no clue of what kernels to reccomend since I recently flashed to eh17 deodexed stock. I prefer to make my modifications on my own though, just so I can learn them all by hand for a future rom release
Sent from justlovejoy's Epic 4g powered by The GreenRomProject.com & SpinBackEntertainment.com
Let's Go NYG NYJ
couple of reasons I chose google music. (poweramp seems to be the most recommended though, and I would go with it, but.....)
I want my entire music library with me, so I can choose anything I want. That is why I had the 64gb ipod.
With the epic, I can go up to 32gb micro sd, but at the moment, no money, not until November (we will be credit card free then )
So, with Google music, it is free (at the moment), and I can load up my entire library. Sound quality is just fine.
Once I get the 32gb microsd, I will switch to poweramp.
Try out all the kernels. See which one work well with your device.
Revolt kernel has a lot of praise, as does the newest Twilight.
Many people swear by Genocide though, so that's what I've got for you.

So I am developing my plan/process to do my first root.
I have decided on Syndicate because it seems like the most stripped down version from what I have read, stable and fast.
With that said, I am having trouble deciding on which kernel. I do understand that every phone is different, that my Epic may not take one rom and or kernl but will take another.
GOAL: I am wanting to make my phone as fast as possible on the stock speed. I dont care about overclocking or anything like that. I want default there. But I want to make sure the kernel I choose is as stable as possible and plays nice with the battery. (edit: when I say fast as possible, I just mean zero lag, easily moves between screens and apps)
Since my 64gb ipod was stolen, I am going to be using my Epic and Google Music for my mp3 player, so music quality is my top concern.
I will then theme my phone, most likely just icons though.
with that said, I guess I have a few choices? TwilightZone, Genocide, etc. I am reading as much as I can, but cant really see what benefit one gets over the other.
I do not tether.
I always use wireless when I can.
Mostly music, some facebook, I do use it to browse.
Then the normal..texting, phone, etc.
If you see any confusion on my part, please go easy on me and let me know
