Good 720 HD Sense ROM ?

Hi All
Which Sense ROM do I need to install to be able to record good 720 HD video?
Is there a Kernel that will work to make Sprint (SprintLover) 3.7 ROM record without chopping up the video?
Video quality is far more important than the frame limit that 3.7 unlocked so if I need to go back a few versions I will.
Thanks

As far as I know they are all pretty much the same as far as video recording goes. Its an evo thing not a rom thing.

I am pretty sure video was a lot better (nearly skip free) a few update (versions) ago.

I use Warm Z 2.2 and 720p recording works just fine for me. Playback shows no choppiness.

did you use a different Kernel than the one built into warm2.2?
I installed warm 2.2 and really like it and so far it is ok with video but does freeze a little. I found running task killer helps video recording with less skips.
My wife is using Netrachy 4.3.4 with SL ROM and we had a horrible experience today where it only recorded 10 seconds of sound and video and then continued to do sound but not video. Really sucks.

seems that with sufficient internal memory video can record at 720

What speed is your SD Card? I've heard of reports that the choppiness goes away on microSD cards that are Class 4 and faster, while Class 2 cards seem to experience the choppiness.
There could be tons of different things causing your choppiness, this is just one that I had heard about, so if you have a class 4 or faster card then disregard the above.

i use warm z with netarchy toast 4.3.1 just recorded and played back about 30 sec of vid today first time but was flawless

[Q] Poor video playback with GB ROMs

Hi folks,
I have been using Leedroid 2.2.3 till now and vidoe playback has been superb. I now tried a few GB roms - a stock rooted one, and Leedroid 3.03, and both play back video poorly (I'm talking about downloaded tv shows etc). Sound goes out of sync, and the picture gets jerky.
Is anyone else finding this? Are all GB roms like this? Its a shame because audio quality is alot better with GB than Froyo.
Gary.

Just gonna give this a little bump. No one else having video playback issues with GB ROMs?

Laggy Flash video

On CM9 03312012 version..
I tried searching and couldn't find anything
Every time I play flash video it's choppy.. youtube and other videos work fine but flash is consistently laggy
I've updated to the newest 11.1 version, on the kernel that came with the ROM
Any ideas?
If you need any more info to help just let me know.

Come on, surely someone has had this and knows a fix

i have been looking for the answer too why flash videos are choppy, i did some Rom Swaps and got different results for each.
these are my results:
AOSP ROM= great video playback/but controls (pause-play-full screen,etc)tends to freezeand crash when overusing them
AOPK ROM=great playback,bueatiful and silky smooth. did not incountered any problems
TOUCHWIZ ROM= SUCKS! horrible playback! choppy video plus unstable controls, crashes browser ..
hoped this helped

[Q] Which ROM has the best camera (including 720p)

I'd love to have panorama and HDR, I tried a ROM last month that had the options (I think it was a sense ROM) but they didn't work well and it force-closed sometimes, etc.
I've also found that some of the newer android version ROMs seem to lack either H.264 or 720p video.
Front-facing camera is nice to have, but even the ROMs with that seem to suck for Skype.
Help!

You can download both of them from the play store... I have both and they work great..

Why is that? What binary blob needs reverse-engineered?

wait, that's not true. I'm running cyanogenMod 6.2.1 and I have 720 video

how jerky is it? (i dont just mean playback on the phone itself, i mean no matter what device you play it back on. in other words, when i use AOSP cameras at 720p, there is jerkiness baked into the output. stutter, judder, jerkiness, dropped frames, insufficient fps, call it what you want, motion portrayal is poor especially during slow pans.)

hmm, yeah i guess it is a little jerky.
Well thanks for the link in your sig, got that ROM running now and it seems like a keeper

Well, ok, if you're serious about all this, I will add that changing your scheduler to BFQ is probably the single best improvement you can make to videocam recording smoothness. You'll need a kernel that supports this. Almost any custom kernel will. If you're going to use the ROM in my sig (the Captain's 5.07 stock ROM) I would recommend the "Underworld" kernel. If you're running a AOSP ROM , I'm not as familiar with those choices (although I would recommend Reloaded anyway, and the "Mason" kernel included with it supports BFQ already, even if it isn't optimal for general, non-videocam performance). Note you'll have to do additional research on how to *activate* the BFQ scheduler even once you have a kernel that supports it. Or maybe you knew all this. But others may be interested. Happy searching..

used hdr camera + with cm7.2 (nightlies) and worked pretty fantastic. Def considered it better quality than stock camera and here is my disclaimer im not a photo buff... lol

In my opinion the Sense Rom Cameras look better. I've probably ran just about every rom on the OG EVO and that is what I have noticed.

[Q] Youtube playback grainy/pixelated after flashing IncrediblyParanoid?

Hey guys,
Forgive my ignorance, as I have searched high and low for any information on this, but I was running TazzSense 3.6 for quite a while with no major issues other than some lag that may have been more due to the apps I had installed, and on that ROM the video playback, including youtube in HQ, was clear and great. I tend to watch a lot of youtube videos. Yesterday, because I wanted to try it out, I flashed the latest Incredibly Paranoid after doing the super duper wipe and everything seems to be working great and I love the interface.
However videos on youtube seem pixelated and grainy even on HQ, compared to the old ROM. This seems to be isolated to Youtube or perhaps flash videos because other videos seem to be fine, but playing youtube videos through the app or a browser looks a bit off. I tried turning HQ off (looks worse obviously) and back on again. I also tried messing with all the combinations of Paranoid settings, which changed the look of the UI but not the video playback. I seem to notice a few rows of black pixels to the top and bottom of the video; it's my understanding that these videos are 480p in HQ, so in my mind should fill the screen, could something be scaling vertically slightly and causing the degradation in quality? Are there any other things I could check on? Any input greatly appreciated; if this belongs somewhere else please forgive me.

Yeah that's a bug in older job kernel. Wait for either new cm10.1 or pa jb4.2 or flash evervolv with new 3.0 kernel.
