[Q] patching the libOmxVdec.so

Hey everyone has anybody tried to patch the libOmxVdec.so on the xperia play to allow 720p hardware decoding playback on diceplayer. If anyone has help please.
Never even heard of this, but might be interested to take a shot at it. Any links to more info?
this is the link http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCAQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1170541&ei=4QhuTv22CMbWsgaa1OHbBA&usg=AFQjCNHDxkGeiowt7K15TxQdost8QHH7sA
ive tried but it messed up instead

This very well may be possible after having looked into it a bit. The MSM8255 Snapdragon on the Xperia Play does support hardware playback of 720p... so... very interesting.
yep dats wat im thinking to its very interesting
Isn't the source for that lib present on FXP git?
I imagine it should be.
I gave it a shot with QQPlayer, one of the apps mentioned on the other thread and I saw no difference in video playing performance with a 720p video.
it tried it to and it didnt increase my compatiblity but lowered it in stock player and diceplayer wierd
Don't try patch libomxvdex.so.
This libOmxVdec.so is suitable for QSD8250 not QSD8255.
* edit
you should try libOmxVdec.so from Desire HD.
I'll give it a shot sometime tonight.

[Q] CM9 ICS hardware rendering doesn't work, how to force software rendering?

I can't play ANY type of video since flashing CM9.0 FXP114, since hardware rendering doesn't work and only renders a frame or two while changing orientation. But I found that switching to software rendering in MX Video Player would work. How can I force software decoder in other apps? Or is there any other solution?

in build.prop, if you add/modify the value "debug.sf.hw=0", that should turn off hardware acceleration I think

Thanks, but, nope. I'm talking about hardware decoding, not acceleration. When Android tries to play video, it lets the hardware do the hard work (excuse the pun, again), but in this case, FXP CM9 ICS doesn't come with working hardware decoding, it makes impossible to see the video and leaves only the audio. A workaround for this is to use software decoding instead, but I don't know how to do so... Any help?

You can't, just wait for FXP to release a new version, hw decoding should be fixed then

I have a similar problem as well when I Force 2D GPU rendering and turn Wifi On I get a Imiediat force close which is a shame Im tired of CM9 crashing same with a couple of other things and tweaks.
You may be able to use KeiranFTW's Xperia Tweak I came across today for JIT and 2D rendering

None of those things touch the hw decoder, just wait for FXP to fix it, shouldn't be too long

[Q] mx player h/w decoding not working on leaked jb rom with doomlord kernel

I can't help with a solution at the moment and I must admit I was skeptical about your statement, but after checking, it does appear(from my observations) there is a noticeable lag in video playback on my Sony XPERIA LT26i JB 6.2.B.0.200 release with DoomKernel v1
I have a mkv(H.264,AC3) 720p video I know very well and use as a video benchmark and it should be smooth with no lag as it was on ICS on an XPERIA S.
The video has some structural components of a spaceship which is panned from end to end over an extended period and it's easy to spots frame lag/drops.
I have viewed the video in both MX Player Pro and BSPlayer, with Hardware encoding enabled and there does appear to be a visual lag.
I enabled settings->Developer Options->force GPU rendering in settings and this made no difference.
Using my old XPERIA X10i I played the same 720p mkv using BSPlayer and it was very smooth with no noticeable lag.
Something is a bit odd when an Adreno 200 plays videos better than an Adreno 220.

Logitech Unifying USB 2.4GHz mouse/keyboard still don't work. No error, just don't work (Worked in ICS)
HDMI 16:9 HW accelerated movie (720p mkv[H.264,AC3]) is displayed on a monitor/TV as 4:3 with no way to change the aspect to 16:9 tested with BSPlayer and MXPlayer Pro.
If set as Software Encoded the screen aspect can be set correctly, BUT the movie is no longer lag free and using SW encoding we see frames dropped to keep pace..
If the HDMI video setting is set to 'fine' a HW accelerated (Uses GPU to accelerate FPS) 16:9 aspect ratio video will only be displayed as 4:3 aspect ratio.
If the HDMI video setting is set to 'standard' a HW accelerated video can be displayed as 16:9 on an external monitor/TV.
Fixed since JB 6.2.B.0.211

didnt face any bugs yet,but the movement in video camera is bit slow compared to ics.to see it just move your hand fast.I noticed that its better when image stabilization is off,but still slow,no effects in the output though.very good update from SONY
bugs fixed for me since .200 update:
laggy hd video
bad performance
lags in high quality full hd movies
---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
not a big issue,but the illumination doesn't blink as before during a incoming call
I got a bug when I started the camera a green screen showed up and when I pressed the home button the phone restarted..
It's great update!
Full HD recording fixed, 2G working really fine - I don't remember working this way before. Volume up and screen not lighting up should be fixed too as users said.
It's really cool update! :laugh:

In my case that was the router's fault. When I got a new router, the Wi-Fi is crazy!

for me no problem at all in new rom but 1080p video recording is still jittering a little bit..... i cant bear it........other then that it is superbb
Since version .200 there is no 3D Sweep Panorama function!!
Thought they would fix it with this version but...
Is it even legal to delete features?? i mean its even stated on the package that this device has 3D sweep panorama function!!
ps: video recording is still not so smooth like it was in ICS..
and that spinning world live wallpaper is missing but there is one called nexus..lol

FYI, 2G didn't work in .200 and .211 in Turkey most of the times, but now it works flawlessly.

I don't know if its legal or not, but it's terrible that SONY remove cool features like 3d sweep. That is simply wrong and speaks badly of the company, oh and btw i'm still on ICS because it's lag free and scroll is even smoother and it has 3d sweep ... For me everything works as expected in ICS thats why i choose ICS instead of JB

Yes 1080 video recording is still jerking sometimes..........also it takes too much time to focus object which is ruinning my video
^^ thanks for your comments.
Can someone please check if the fps in 1080p recording are now 29/30 like in ICS and not 18fps anymore?
if not im going back to ics...
thanks
The new picture effects they added very laggy.. why would they add that if not properly functioning...
I use SwiftKey and upon reboot this firmware (since JB actually) doesn't remember to keep it as the default keyboard and always goes back to the Xperia one. However, I also have Google keyboard installed and it will remember that one upon reboot. So maybe it's a Swiftkey specific issue with the S's JB firmwares?
i just checked it myself.
1080p recording is now in 24fps.
on version 200 and 211 it was 18fps.
in ICS it was 29 fps.
can someone confirm please?

[Q] debug.composition.type

Hello there,I have a question that I want to ask...I know a lot of Xperia S/SL user suffers from lag in MX Player while touching the screen...And the problem also happen while watching videos from the YouTube apps...
I have the solution,that is by changing "debug.composition.type" from "dyn" to "gpu" from the build.prop...It is the equivalent as disable HW overlays in dev option...And it is the same as disable Project Butter and let the GPU do all the work for screen compositing...
I already test it and it work...MX Player and YouTube apps run smoothly without a single lag while touching the screen...
My question is,it is ok to change "debug.composition.type" from "dyn" to "gpu" and let the GPU do all the work for screen compositing???It is going to effect the system,hardware or the battery life???
Changing it from dyn to gpu should save battery
Also xperia gpu is crappy meaning that either way your allways going to have some lag
Here is some extra info
Dyn = cpu and gpu
Gpu= gpu only
Cpu= cpu only
Mdp= multi depth something (buggy on xs)
C2d=core to duo (kinda like dyn only more gpu use)
There are some others

Thx a lot for your reply...I change it to "gpu" and notice a bit of lag while scrolling through the setting...
I've been wondering did other Sony device suffers the same problem as Xperia S/SL...Or it's just Sony fault because doesn't fix this problem...
