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.

Cyanogenmod?

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.
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
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.
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.
already tried several different kitkat roms for gnex maguro ( even tried those based on CM11 )
all of them had problem playing mp4/mkv files smoothly when hardware acceleration is enabled
software acceleration works ok.... but my units easily runs hot and runs of out battery
already tried MXplay , Dice at Bsplayer
