What is the state of 720p?

ok so we have had the leaked "gingerbread" sense rom for the inc and well i have been waiting for 720p on a aosp rom be it cyan or omfgb. i hate to ask and get some....uh....rude remarks but.....what is the hold up?....please enlighten me.

I think the CM team is waiting for htc to officially release gingerbread for the inc for drivers and stuff (i think )

Kernel source needs to drop too I believe.

Try install patched libOMXVdec.so file.
It works for N-1/Desire like 1st gen Snapdragon devices.

i think it may work for Droid Incredible too.
It works for LG Optimus Q that use QSD8650.

Going over those links you posted look like they are only for 720p playback, I think the op as well as a lot of other people, myself included; are looking for the ability to record video in 720p like in the stock Sense roms. And untill HTC drops the final gb release I don't see that happening anytime soon unless the CM devs can jerry-rig something together from the Evo release.

720p recording on this phone is, and always will be, utter crap. it skips, it stutters, it pixelates, and most importantly, the audio CONSTANTLY comes out of sync in every video. the video will get sped up and will end before the audio track ends. i think we just need to get a better phone to have TRUE 720p recording,.

Sadly I agree.

Now that HTC has released the GB kernel source for the Incredible, shouldn't we see 720p recording for AOSP ROMs soon? Is someone working on it?

[Q] rom flashing q's....emmc?? camera??

before i decide to flash i was wondering if it erases the emmc partition?
and also which roms(if any) support 8mp camera and 720p video recording/playing?
i use both so much, so i dont want to loose them
thanks for any help

No roms will wipe the emmc partition.
Any Sense 1.0 (SkyRaider 4, Redemption roms, Magnolia etc) roms will definitely support 8mp and 720p video recording/playing.
No new gingerbread AOSP support 720p recording, but can handle playing it perfectly.
Play around with a bunch of different roms until you find something that you like!

ya, i will. just was hoping to get away from sense and keep camera functions

Well the camera on CM7 is atrocious (it's stock from AOSP) and most people replace it with a version from MIUI. I would suggest trying MIUI because it has a ton of awesome new features, and the camera is AWESOME even though it doesn't have 720p recording, I think you'll still like it.

[MOD] [720p HW PLAYBACK] libOmxVdec.so (removal of h/w restrictions in playback)

best 720p solution yet.
Just want to inform all desire owners of Diceplayer.
It dosent support our phone (they say).
But it works flawless if you patch
libOmxVdec.so
wich is meant for the nexus-1.
Since N1 and desire share alot hardware i figured it might also work for our desire.
IT DID!!
This is my first thread or even post on xda.

What Rom Does it Work on?
GB/FROYO - Sense/Non-sense?

Apparently what it does is, it removes restrictions in the h/w decoding. I think the devs of cyanogenmod should look into this and integrate it into their libs.

I use it with cyanogenmod. So yes. Not sure with other roms but i suspect the libs are the same with sense roms.
The modified lib brings h/w hd functionality to other players aswell. Free alternatives like qqplayer. Probably other players also.
Someone should hint the devs of cyanogen to integrate the functionality into their roms. Devices that are capable. The Nexus-1 and desire.

Just tested it on Rcmix 2.0 sense rom still lags

So basically it will work on GingerVillain 2.7, too? Well, I'll try and see.

Playback yes iirc, but isn't 720p recording Sense only feature?

You must use a player that uses hardware rendering. Default setting in many players are software rendering. Change to hardware rendering (in player).

it worked, but messed up the weather vids on cool sensation though.

hi to all,
just tried the patch and i would dare to correct the OP, well at least in my situation, 720p video playback didnt become without lag, however, now its less laggy. im using GB rom, Rcmix 2.0 with CM7r2 partition table, and class 10 16GB micro sd card (reading writing 11mb/s, reading 22 mb/s). so it has nothing to do with the card, however, as i said there much less lag now but videos are still not as smooth as i used to have on 2.2 based ROMS. but if htc release proper GB rom then maybe developers will be able to do something about it

You should write, which rom/kernel you are using. Otherwise your information is very senseless.

Well. I am using cyanogen kernel and nightly rom. I have a class 10 sd card (sd-booster 2048).
I am having good results with 720 mkv video (diceplayer and qqplayer).

it works..!
took quite awhile for me to get SDK adb working.. but now it works so smooth!!
either on dice player or native player!
kudos for TS
PS: im also on CM7 rom and kernel, S2E a2sd, and stock 2GB SD card

work on leedroidhd?!

Would it work on Insertcoin stock GB rom?

no idea of other roms aside from CM7, but i suggest to do nandroid backup, and then follow instruction inside the link from 1st post..

@OP - Are you part of dev team for this? I ask because you seem very keen to get this integrated into CM and you seem to have a lot of technical info.
BTW, I tried it on CM7.1RC1 and find lag. The "News & Tips" page you linked to does actually state though that 720p does lag at present until possibly the next update.

If you manage to load the lib correctly (works in cm7, thats all i know) you should feel big difference from regular software encoding players like rockplayer etc.
Shure. there are some lags. But as i stated before. noting in comparison to software enc. based players. Very large 720 mkv may lag. But a typical 4gig 720p mkv plays well.
No. Im not in the dev team. I just been searching for a solution to play hi def mkv video. And this is by far the best solution.
What i do is every time i reflash my rom (cm nightly) i replaces the lib from first post with the one included in cm7 .zip file. /system/lib/libomxvdec.so
For testing this you must make sure diceplayer or any other player, is set to hardware encoding. Otherwise no improvement in playback.

[Q] Camera quality CM(JB) vs stock

Hi everyone,
I am considering 'upgrading' my HOV to CM10.1 or AOKP, but I am wondering if the new mods really effect the quality of the onboard camera? I know that the One series all has the HTC imagesense processor, and I was wondering if the newer kernels affected the quality of the camera at all? I enjoy the quality of the camera on stock greatly, so I was wondering if there was a big difference or if anyone did any comparisons?
Thanks!
ps - sorry if this has been asked before, I've searched and come up with nothing...

Stock camera is the best.It's the only reason why some people revert back to stock after trying out JB

stock camera > cm9 > cm10 > cm10.1 even tho cm10.1 camera doesn't work yet... lmao

I didn't quite get it.
I am wondering, does JB roms use HTC's ImageSense? If not, does those Sense based ROMs use ImageSense, as they use the stock camera, right?

The non-Sense based ROM's don't use the ImageSense chip ( or use it in the same way as stock ). I've Tried SupremU and mySenseV both seem to use the stock camera app and abilities. The CM10/etc use the cyanogen(?) camera, it cannot do the burst or capture during video, I had very little luck getting it going smoothly in CM10, video modes autofocus is wonky too
I did some searching to see if the Stock camera app could somehow be brought into CM10, but from what I could find it appears that the answer it no.. my guess is it's a kernel module needed + a bunch of Sense bits and pieces.

to me the quality seems about the same, but I have noticed that non-stock cameras on our HOV are slower at actually taking the picture, but that could be the settings? idk but I like stock camera, but not enough to switch back to sense... mostly because it makes me use a pin or passcode or pattern to unlock because of the wifi type at my school... it gets annoying

So, when i use this ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974415
I have ImageSense in use, as it has the stock camera app, right? (which is the best for me) I really like ImageSense, autofocus in video is great with it and pictures too.

Yup that you do It's the one I've been running this week and it appears to be going quite smoothly.

[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..

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.
