[Q] Which HD rom to choose ?

3 Days ago i flashed my desire with RCmixHD 2.0 a2SD ROM .Most of things works fine , except that one :
I can record 720p video , but when i turn it on it freezes every 3-4 seconds
Can you suggest me any HD Rom which support most of the things , or I just have to wait for better release ?
Thanks alot

As far as I'm aware for the HD roms, the 720p recording doesn't fully work. You can try them all but I've not actually tested them all. I am set to test them all today though so if you want, I can tell you which worked best for me. But generally, a rom is down to personal preferrence.

Does work now going by the HD ROM threads...

[Q] CM9 RC6– stock gb video qual. comparison

Hi all
I am using cm9 rc6 and i am happy with that. Thanks to devs.
I ve compared the 720p videos of cm9 and stock gb. File size of gb version is nearly doubling the cm9 version. I watched both videos in pc and I am not surprised with that because there is a clear quality difference in favor of gb version video.
Is there a way to rec videos in cm9 as good as in gb Rom version?

I've made a topic about the same Q, but only with cm10 and GB.
I've noticed the same thing lol, that the GB 720p runs on way better fps than JB.

i think we cant do anything about it for now, unless arco or other devs decided to improve it..
For me im quite satisfied, considering that its not working before..THANKS arco/devs for that..
FYI.. quoting arco's words about the camera.
•camera will never work as good as in stock rom, period! We are using ugly hal wrapper hack to get it to work at all! This is only guaranteed to work partially ok with included camera app. And still not everything will work at all with it, like certain effects or video calls. All other 3rd party camera apps may or may not work. Don't cry if they don't. If you absolutely need a 100% working camera, use stock rom!

Thats bad, I hope, that in future we will be capable of recording those 30 fps videos.
Thanks for response anyway.

[Q] [ION] Many problem in the new JB

Hey Guy
My xperia Ion was very smooth with ICS few days ago, but when i upgrade it to JB (i have been waiting it for a long time), it's getting lagger and lagger like below:
- APP DRAW : very lag, not smooth like ISC FW, what is the thing in JB called "Project butter"? I heard that it make android smooth as much as IOS. But i dont see this on JB Xperia ION, this is so disappointing.
- FACEBOOK, CHROME ... APP: disappointing again. They're so lag that i have to uninstall them immediately.
- WALKMAN: What happen with my favorite music player, the quanlity of music is getting so bad.
- CAMERA: capture movie add the highest resolution (Full HD) is getting lag, it dont happen in ICS FM
Please give me some solution to bring back the smooth i have had on ISC FW to the new JB FW on my ION
Thank a lot guy

The Project Button was a project to try to bring smoothness to the whole UI. It doesn't promise a lag-free experience. Did you made a clean or dirty install? Facebook app has been getting faster and faster with each update. Chrome is really slow because it was built based on PC's version, not a Android app. Also, you have a 2010 processor in your phone. It isn't one of the best. Walkman in JB is 10x better, sound quality wise, for me... Camera problem is because Sony implemented some new drivers that aren't really compatible with our processor, so it lags a bit...

Android JB in Xperia Ion is Awesome
I flashed Android JB in My Xperia Ion few days ago. It's really cool update. I installed PowerAmp for Music and it's the Best. Walkman is also good. But can't compare with PowerAmp. I haven't face any issue with Camera. Apps are working very fine (No crashing so far.) I tested Asphalt 7 Heat and It's Great. (No Lagging/No Crash).
Pros:
+ Better User Experience :highfive:
+ No compatibility issues (Perhaps I installed all apps which I had in ICS.)
+ SenseMe Slideshow in Albums app (I like it very much. :victory: )
+ Improved Notifications Bar
+ Customizable Wall/Screens (Can add/delete any no of walls which is not possible in ICS)
+ Familiar widgets
Cons:
- Booting time is more when compare with ICS. (It's not a Big Deal. I don't restart my phone every day. Who does?! :angel: )
- Can't Root the OS. (ICS was Rootable easily. Waiting for Firmwares from XdaDevelopers. )
- Can't uninstall/remove apps from Menu itself. (ICS has Blocks icon on top right which enables to delete user installed apps.) It's not a Big deal, I can uninstall via Settings -> Apps.
- Not able to find Direct call Contacts Widget.
I suggest to Flash Android JB on your Ion. :highfive:

Well, it can be done [root]

Hi Everyone,
As many of are having problem with G-Sensor (including myself) and heat method appears to be hit and miss.
One of the biggest problem for me is camera stopped working on Sense5 ROM.
Only workaround I found so far for Sense 5 ROM is to use alternative Camera app which doesn’t rely on G-Sensor.
ROM-
CM10.2- Works fine even without G-Sensor working.
Sense 5 – Camera doesn’t work so
Alternative camera what worked for me on Sense-5-
So far I found “ProCapture Free” and QuickSnap” seems to work however
ProCapture Free- only allows 3.2MP
QuickSnap- is too basic.
I’ve also tried installing and flashing native Android 4.3 camera. Unfortunately it FC every time I open it.
Can someone suggest a good camera that would
Works on Sense 5 ROM
Doesn’t rely on G-Sensor
Allows full 8MP
Some or lots of features (like sense 5, native android 4.3 or CM camera)
I would really appreciate any suggestion / advice.

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.
(SEE VIDEO HERE: dropbox (DOT) com/sc/2gdbf352ghf7imu/fNWWukGnIz)
*IVE ALREADY TRIED CHANGING THE VIDEO QUALITY IN ALL THE APPS AND NOTHING HELPS*

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.

THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.
