Wow you're able to play 720p movies? I get lag with each video player out there. Rockerplayer, vplayer, arc.. but dvd quality runs perfect.
CM7 nightly 20 oc'd to 1.4ghz.

^Did you get that from the pirate bay? Shame on you.
Try an overclock it should help some. I stream 720p flash movies and they actually perform quite well at 1.516Mhz performance, but it does overheat after a while. If you are not rooted and OC is not an option, You might have to convert the file to 480X800 to get it to play smooth. Be warned though that this can take from 20 minutes to 6 hours depending on the speed of your computer, and results in image quality loss.
If you ever get out of sync issues, just jump back a few seconds and it will resync itself. For flash movies I usually resync it every 15 minutes or so.

anyway its to bad it cannot play 720p properly and i have no plans on rooting and oc

You can try Act 1, I have had it play a few formats the others wouldnt...I like Rockplayer, Vplayer not so much. Meridian is another good video player.

Try arcMedia
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

ya arc media is pretty good

If anyone is still looking for more video player choices, Vital Player seems pretty good. Either pretty new, or I just haven't found it before. Good interface, seems compatible with lots of my videos, and automatically selects software or hardware decoding based on the video (without having to select or toggle like Rock Player). I've seen some complaints in the Market reviews about the free version showing ads during video playback. But I haven't seen this. I have AdFree running, so it seems to be doing its job. Also, Vital Player is not yet compatible with Gingerbread, so it doesn't work on CM7.
Since I've switched to CM7, its Rock Player for me. It plays almost everything I've thrown at it, without lag. vPlayer lagged like crazy for me on some videos. ArcMedia has lots of things I didn't like about the interface, and lagged on some WMV files.

I've been using the stock video player since day one when I got my G2. I play all my videos at 720P after converting to .mp4 using handbrake. No lag issues at all.

Cm7 questions

Finally installed cm7 but I have a few questions...
Q1. Is the adw launcher the normal version or the ex version?
Q2. Can I uninstall adw if I have another launcher installed?
Q3. I don't see the system recovery(bootstrap) or 2ndinit apps in the app drawer and even titanium backup shows that they are not installed...so should I reinstall them or is it already built into cm7( since I am able to see the option of boot into recovery when I try to reboot)
Q4. Is it safe to replace the cm7 music player with the stock connected music player? ( I want to replace it as the cm7 music player does not show lyrics of the songs I'm playing...
Thanks in advance....other than the music player I'm loving cm7...I got an 80% increase in quadrant score

Q1 - It's not the EX version but I believe it's a tweaked normal version for CM.
Q2 - Yes I believe you can but make sure you have another launcher installed first.
Q3 - No do not reinstall 2nd init or custom recovery - you won't have an app icon for them as they are accessed via the bootmenu blue led.
Q4 - Sorry don't know as I don't use music apps.

1.what's the difference?
2.yes
3.No 2nd unit doesn't require the app in the menu to work since its installed into the system.
4.You can try, I don't see a reason why it wont make sure to set the permissions correctly after replacing.

I have both apps installed, reason I'm keeping stock CM music app is because in my opinion the sound quality is a bit better than in CMP. But I want lyrics sometimes so I've kept both apps. You can remove the default CM7 player or just make CMP the default app to open musiic.
The FM Radio also works well in CMP, it i s a pretty good music player, even POwerAMP isn't needed (or worth it) in comparison.

I froze the cm 7 music app as I didn't notice any difference in sound quality and everything is working fine

1 - Is the normal version
2 - Yes with titanium for example you could uninstall every apps
3 - Normal Bootstrap is replace by 2nd init ( bootable by down button ) more pratical : )

Best videoplayer app?

I used to use diceplayer, it was my favorite and it played almost everything with HW support, but since I installed CM10 Jelly Bean on my glide, it just cannot play some of my videos (especially 60fps or HD videos). (Yea, I downloaded the tegra 2 plugin, too).
I also tried mx player with its arm v7 plugin, and so far it is the best for jellybean, however, HW accelleration doesnt always work with it either, but SW decoding seems fine.. Why does video playing suck on jellybean? on ICS it was perfect :\
is it the players (they simply dont support HW that much, they're not updated well?), or is it jellybean itself?
What videoplayer have you found as "best working" on JB?

MX player. I am on android 4.2
Simply the best player.

i use VPlayer. seems to have all the proper codecs i need to play any and all video format i throw at it, including mkv files.
however, there is some fine tuning you must do to correct the video/audio sync issues when it plays mkv files.
i have the unlocked version which i bought when it was on sale via the google play store.

No problem on hardware acceleration in CyanogenMod 10 Beta 2. I have some HD video in the phone and it plays them fine, whilst Android 4.0 refuses to do very much in frame sync. Jelly Beans is much better, IMHO. I have no trouble with MX player on this firmware.

Xperia S JB's doomlord leak:music stuttering

Hello guys,as per title i'm experiencing music stuttering even on JB(given that it might be the leak's fault as it isn't complete yet)the same as ICS(meaning stuttering with FB browsing twitter ecc ecc) but the multitasking is improved beyong possible and anything is perfect,i really don't know what to think.
I didn't posted this in the leak thread because it's so crowded my post wouldn't even be read.
thank for the help(if there's any)
cheers
Dave

Walkman is really heavy. When I was light running the leak (read it: only a few essential apps installed) no stutters at all (and I mean it: not a single stutter), maybe the music stopped playing due low RAM but that was it. With Walkman and PowerAMP, sutter is almost gone.

"almost gone">that's what i don't get. My friend's xperia sola doesn't have this kind of problems neither my 2010 desire hd do.
On top of that the free ram now is like doubled on jb so i don't understand how can the music player stutter.
Thanks for the help though i'm trying to use Gplay music let's see if anything change.

Neutron Music Player
I'm using Neutron Music Player on my XPERIA LT26i with Leaked JB 4.1.2 and I have no problems that I can hear.
Even when the screen is off the player is fine and doesn't lose focus.
Don't even need a SetCPU profile to maintain priority as Neutron Music Play must(haven't really checked) lock in a 'required' CPU frequency to support continued and smooth playback, thus overriding lower screen-off CPU frequencies.
Google Play downloaded music plays at 64bit(indicated???) and 320KB/sec and I don't remember hearing anything odd,
Most of my wav and flac music (16 -24bit) streamed off my NAS sounds fine.
I stream 720p TV and videos(mkv H264,AC3) using BSPlayer from my NAS and they play without any lag or 'stutters' and with videos, you'd hear/see anything odd pretty quickly.
AND all this is with the default leaked JB CPU governors(ondemand) and scheduler(cfq).
Think what we could have when DoomLord and others go wild with bespoke Kernels.
I have approx 240 - 300MB of memory available
I've removed about 70 system apps/bloatware.
Calendar, Mail, WhatsApp are the only network background service processes I have running.
I'd probably delete the supplied Sony Music player on released JB version if that doesn't present any problems as I never use it.
The XPERIA S with Leaked JB seems, in general, to be very responsive with no lag, that I've noticed.
I have an XPERIA X10i v2.3 and even over-clocked it still has issues with lag. BUT, again with Neutron Music Player and a 64GB microSD card music is fine on an XPERIA X10i,
So, with music, I'd suggest, the limitation of a given Android device could be compensated with a good Music application.
I note on leaked XPERIA S JB 4.1 that the music player currently being used has focus on the lock screen and that could be Neutron Music Player or XiiaLive Internet Radio player. Very handy for quick music control of the active player directly from the lock screen.

Currently listening to music while 16 app are open (fb tweet 2 browser ecc)with neutron music player and everything looks fine for now. I want to try using walkman app to see if it's the same.
Tried gplay music and NMP with the same opened app and no stutters with nmp i'll try it for a few days thanks for the help for now

Even super low end Samsung Galaxy Y that my friend use doesn't have shuttering problem in music player. .ZZZZzzzzz
I think something is wrong with NXT series apps..
My friends Arc don't have this problem in Stock ICS but when he rooted n flashed NXT series apps like Walkman n all, music shuttering started just like my XS.. We can blame the Walkman app in my friend's case but every other music app is having shuttering problem (same as XS) since he flashed it... Something is wrong..

Precisely my point! even low end devices don't stutter (not that i know of).
I don't know who(or what) to blame though as i tried flashing cyanogen mod and p.a.c but no luck, stutter was always there no matter what.

Problem Playing X264 on Galaxy S4

Hello,
I have tried multiple apps that people have suggested using to play x264 format movies such as MX Player, Rock Player, V player (?) and none will play my files. I have tried multiple X264 to be sure that it wasn't just the file. I add the file onto my SD card but when I try to play it on my phone, it brings up a black screen with a play symbol in the upper right corner and the time bar down at the bottom. It acts as if it is playing but gives me no sound or video. I also have noticed that most of the time, say I have a 60 minute show, it will show that it is much longer, sometimes 2 hours or more. I am currently running wicked v 7.0 but have had the same issues when I was on other roms as well. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Drew

MX Player Pro is the best player IMO. I have never come across any issues playing any type of file. However, some files require a codec to be installed. Do you have the MX Player Codec Pack installed?

You try stock video player on twiz? I had the same issue trying to play those files on aosp
