Hi, rather new here so I can't post in the thread on the developers board. Thought I'd try here. I recently flashed Tiny's latest CM 10.1 nightly rom and I really like it so far. There are a couple of issues but after messing with it for a while, it's mostly smooth and works well. My biggest beef, aside from those couple issues is Netflix. The app loads and I can select a show, but when I try to load a video, I just get the red loading screen that goes on forever until I hit the back button. I tried an older apk, and it wouldn't load, period (1.5.2), which I guess is to be expected when running Android 4.2. I tried 2.1 and I got the same issue with the red loading screen. Tried loading it in the browser and I got the usual page that tells me I need a certain browser for it to work. The app worked just fine in the official CM 7.2. Is there an option in settings I'm missing or something or does it not work on this rom (which I don't see why it wouldn't)?
Other naggy issue is epsxe. It works alright but if I press a volume button, it either increases or decreases all the way and all buttons freeze. Nothing works. Home, menu, power button, touch, etc (yet the emu keeps going and the music keeps playing). Sometimes when I press an on-screen button to move, it's like the button gets stuck and the character keeps moving in that direction. I have to remove the battery to reboot. Did not have this issue in cm 7.2.
Other than that, awesome rom and thanks, Tiny, for working on it.
EDIT: Well, I just tried using epsxe again and it even worked when using the volume button. Not sure why it worked except that I let the game load for a bit before pressing anything. After that, it worked just fine. So, I guess it may be even an app issue on 4.2, rather than the rom. Hope Netflix is as easy to get working.
Netflix hasn't worked on JB or ICS. Known issue since day one. Probably won't be fixed as it's not a high priority in the overall picture.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

Well, that's disappointing. I really like this this rom but Netflix was one of the biggest reasons to keep using this device. It's mainly used as a tablet now and I don't want to buy anything else right now. Funny thing, Netflix was the only reason I didn't switch from Windows 7 to Linux. I figure, if I'm paying them every month, I should be able to play their vids on any device I please and it irks me that I can't even get it working in the android browser. Oh well. Thanks for the quick response.
EDIT: Well, I did some research and found that Netflix 1.81 seems to work to an extent. I get sound and subtitles but no video. Going to look into it some more.

It works on better supported devices on ICS and JB. The issue here is the codecs and hardware support / drivers which will not be fixed for now. Just confirming its not androids fault or Netflix's.

So no amount of tinkering with older apks and workarounds (to make it so the app uses older netflix video players) will work because the rom/hardware simply doesn't support playback? I was looking at some other threads and google and a lot of people seem to be having trouble getting Netflix to work on 10.1 and Android 4.2 in general. Seems when the app detects Jelly Bean, it uses its newest video player, which has some problems on some devices. Forcing it to use an older player seems to work for some people. Adding a line to the code to make it use player "6" instead of "10" or something. Haven't actually applied anything to the app to try it because I'm a complete novice at this.
You're the expert and I assume if there was an easy method that wouldn't screw anything up in the CM 10.1 build, you'd apply it. I do appreciate the work you and others are putting into these roms and other than this Netflix issue, it rocks. I may go back to CM 7.2 after a bit but I'll definitely keep an eye on your updates and try them out.

That may just work. I'm kind of a newb at smali but it may be worth a shot. I haven't heard of this workaround before. In theory it should work under software.

Well, that gives me some hope, at least. Here's one of the threads I was looking at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101525
On the last page, someone posted the code that enabled it to work on theirs.
EDIT: I tried the Xposed app workaround, by the way, which did not work for me, using 1.8.0 (thought it was 1.8.1 but wasn't. Plan on trying that next) or the newest version. I realize that these are different devices, but I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work on ours. I wonder if there's a way to trick it into thinking it's Gingerbread instead of ICS (in the thread) and using the player that works on CM 7, if it would work?

I don't have a netflix account currently (had it and didn't use it), so I can't do much testing but based on the link you showed me, the app should work fine. Try the init.d script linked in the github in the thread you posted. Are you familiar with pushing files to your device? You just need to copy it to /system/etc/init.d and add execute permissions. Usuaully I use read-write-execute for user and read-execute for group and other.

The xposed_init file under assets? Can't say I've ever tried this before. I know how to add files to that folder, but no idea how to copy it to a file or whatever that would work. Don't know how to execute permissions either.
Looking things up, I can't just add a file to my sdcard and use ES File explorer to add it to the init.d folder? I copied one of the files on my desktop and opened it up with notepad. It sadly didn't help me. Like I said, total novice with android here or this stuff in general. Would like to give this a shot though. Do I add the text to notepad and then delete the .txt or do I need to make a .js file? As for permissions, do I just add r rw and x to the file?

Yeah, you can add it to notepad and remove the .txt at the end but it uses different line breaks in Windows than what Linux uses so the script may not work right. I'm not sure though. The worse thing that can happen is nothing. Android doesn't use .js which is Javascript. For permissions, yes that will work.

Tried it. Not sure if I did it right. Most likely not. lol But in any case, it doesn't work. Getting a bit tired, so I may just relent. I'm sure many who are more experienced have tried already.
Just curious: If your primary use for your old Dinc is as a portable Netflix viewer, then why not just flash back to a stable GB-based ROM and enjoy?
Seems that would be a lot simpler than trying to get Netflix to work on JB, especially if you're not doing anything with the phone that requires JB.

I like Jelly Bean. I like how it looks and feels. It's a more mature Android. Plus, I like keeping up to date with software. It's kind of nice to have 4.2 running on the aging, yet good o'l Dinc, when some newer devices don't even have 4.1 yet officially.
Also, I got it working, by the way! Before, when I downloaded the newest one onto 10.1, it would just continuously load when picking a video and not work. After tinkering, I got it to play sound but no video. I could tell that the video player was different than the one I used on 7.2 (also, the newest app). I switched back to 7.2 for a bit and downloaded my apps. I backed everything up using Clockwork mod so I could go back to it whenever. Then I backed up all the Apps with Titanium Backup. I switched back to Tiny's 10.1 and restored the apps. I tried out Netflix and it worked. It was using the same player it used on 7.2. I don't know if it detects Jelly Bean when you download it from Google Play or if it does it when you sign in to your account. When I restored it, I was already signed in, so maybe that's it. At any rate, it works.
Well, I spoke too soon. It did work for the first few videos but then stopped. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the Titanium Backup, but when I try to choose a video, it says I've been signed out. I sign back in and I'm back to the forever loading red screen. So yeah, I think it detects which OS I'm on as I sign in. Just a guess though. Just shows that it has nothing to do with your ROM aside from their newest player not working properly on it. It can indeed be fixed via the software with some tinkering.
Can you check the value for int name="nflx_player_type" in /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/shared_prefs/nfxpref.xml from a working Netflix in Gingerbread? Easier yet, pull that file from your Netflix backup from Gingerbread for me. Check for passwords in the file and clear them out before giving it to me for security.

Here you go. Says It's using Player 9. I have read that 10 is the newest player. At least I believe so.
Edit: just checked that file on 10.1. It says player 10. That means it switched when I signed back in.

Yes and it didn't work. Then I tried "6". Didn't load. I tried 9 again and for whatever reason, it loaded. It works just fine now, using the same player it did in 7.2. The kicker is that I check the XML file again and it changed somewhat. It now says "6" and it looks different. I believe the Player line used to be before the Logged in line. Now the logged in line is last. If there was some way to force it to use 6 every time, even when logging in, we'd have a working netflix app on your rom.
Maybe "old app version=17" is the key, I don't know.
EDIT: Exited the app. Still works. Rebooted the phone. Still works. There's no log out button, so I assume to log out, I need to clear data, which I assume would just put me back at square one. Seems to be working fine now, as long as I stay signed in. If I somehow have to sign in again, I'll check the xml file.
Attached the file. Just edited the user id part.
Well, it was working. Then it quit. I checked the xml file and it had switched to 10. Didn't sign in or out or anything. Tried the 6 file and it immediately switched back to 10. So, I uninstalled and then installed 1.8.1. Replaced the nfxpref file with the one I backed up and it worked. Funny thing, it's actually using an older version of the player. I believe that may actually be "6". In cm7.2, it said "9" and was using a newer version of the player (newer than the one I'm using now). It seems to work well so far. Haven't tried updating from this yet, to see if the newest one works by updating, but I doubt it would work anyway. I did notice that in the shared prefs folder, there's only one other file with the nfxpref file. In the newest version, there looked to be about six or seven other files.
Watching this with interest, if you guys figure it out please post a guide and link to it because you're not alone. My Netflix stopped working when I upgraded to 10.1 as well (interestingly it worked fine on my ICS One-Click ODIN Rom that I got last June, not CM) and this was the first thread to pop on my google search as I've started looking for answers.
*UPDATE* Got mine working using the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101525
Hope this helps!

Hi,
after updating to the actual Malaysk ROM from June, Apple Music is not working anymore.
I tired all versions from 0.9.0 up to the actual 0.9.10
Apple Music try to start and the quit.
Any idea?
Nobody else useing Apple Music??
Given this is an android forum there probably aren't too many apple users.
If it's important to you roll back to a previous working rom.

Yesterday I installed the last Malaysk ROM and I had the same problem, if I try to install Apple Music from Google Play it says that is not compatible, the solution is easy:
download 1.2.1 Apple Music .apk from any website and install it.
side load is not working, because Apple Music seems to check, what device.

It tested this for every version, but it's not working for me.
Give this a try .. worked for me
1. Enable developer options by going to Settings -> about phone , then tapping Build Number until it says developer options enabled.
2. In Settings go to Developer options, scroll down to Force GPU Rendering and enable it .
3. Reboot ( just to be safe )
Now try the app your having issues with and all being well it works
Hi, I'm considering getting the P2, and the sync issue has been the main reason stopping me so far, so thanks for this and I hope others will be able to chime in and say whether this fix worked for them, as it has for you.
One question: Does the sync issue only occur for streaming sites such as youtube, or does it also occur with videos from the SD card as well? Thanks
I tried the above. The YouTube app is still out of sync for me while the same movie is synced in chrome. I don't see this in the Netflix app though, to me, it seems to be in sync.
Weird is what it is...
I haven't made any changes to developer options. But the issue has gone altogether this morning. It's not a perception thing as the issue was so significant before.
It was only generally an issue for videos over 30fps. I would try disabling GPU rendering again and see if the issue stays 'fixed'. I suspect it is/will be sorted with YouTube app update.
BBC iplayer and UKtv seem to have improved , but RTE player now has sync issue and it didn't before .
YouTube is a strange one, i've tried videos of varying quality and there's no standard format it happens on . Lenovo are blaming the apps as usual , we wont get a straight answer from them that's for sure .
I remember a while back (years) html5 was replacing flash for YouTube videos, although I expect both still exist. Perhaps it is a video format issue rather than a quality issue. Chrome I expect loads as flash video by default not HTML 5. Can any techies confirm this hypothesis?

I may be wrong but i thought chrome did not support flash . you can install flash player but it wont work on chrome
Flash I believe is embedded in chrome, so you don't need to install any flash plugins
Flash isn't developed for Android and hasn't been for years. So there is no support for flash anywhere, unless you manage to install it. I suspect that isn't trivial since the last version was developed for probably gingerbread or a version around there somewhere.
Well that answers that then. The issue isn't related to html5 vs flash
The pc version of chrome has a cut down version of flash built in if memory serves me right .. I'm getting old , memory aint what it used to be :laugh:

I have the UK version of the Lenovo P2 from 3, running stock Android 6.0.1 .
I was halfway through watching a YouTube video(Clare Siobhan) on my P2 and stumbled onto this page on my PC trying to find a fix.
I paused the video, changed the setting then resumed the video(no reboot).
It fixed the audio sync issue!!!. :victory:
I then fully closed YouTube and watched a totally different YouTube video and all is good.
I see this has not worked for everyone but it has for me.

I just got one from 3 UK. Never noticed the lip sync until now, but yes it's there for sure. I'm on MM still. Plan to try N when my sdcard arrives.
Force GPU for 2D works for me though!
If you want to disable Dev Options after (in case Force GPU didn't work for you), just clear data from 'Settings' app.

I've got a CN P780, CN Z2 Pro, ROW P1 Turbo and have just received the ROW P2. All seems well so far, came here to look for a root guide/ROM and saw the lip sync issue - all of the above Lenovo models do it on nearly all youtube videos for me. Other apps seem fine though.
Can't imagine the hardware and or software being wrong in all of these models but it seems equally strange that Google can't get it right either

I'm running S233 ROW on my P2 and it fixed the lip sync. Don't need this Dev Options tweak now.
Also mic issue in WhatsApp (3rd party apps in general) seems much improved.
First I thought why people hate on this os, I can deal with it, I love stock android but I have also used miui in the past so color os should be fine, but thinking that was a big mistake.
It doesn't support basic android 9 pie features like swipping right to clear banner notifications, a screen on time chart (leave alone digital wellbeing), dark mode of atleast some sort (all flashy white colours, cannot even take the amoled's advantage) and many more. Even a redmi phone with android 6 or 7 with miui 10 has all android 9 features and here's color os lacking even at the basics.
And even its own features are incompliant. You can only create dual apps for select 2-3 apps, unlike in miui where you could clone any app. Also what is this thing with the call menu when you receive a call, its of 2 kinds, one in which you have to swipe up/down to take/end a call and other being you just have to click the call pick/end button. They need to show their customisation skills there, wow.
And though the phone supports L1 liscence and has a hdr capable display it still doesn't support hdr content on netflix or amazon prime. Their answer to that is an osie vision effect feature in settings>display>osie vision effect, which btw to use you have to also enable smart slidebar(in convinience aid) and then go the supported app>pull out smart slidebar and then enable osie effect. All this then only to see that it says 'not supported in current app'.
Now the main reason for my frustration being not able to download files when the phone is locked. I put anything on download, may it be a video in youtube app or a file in chrome or any download manager app, it downloads only till 1-2 mins after the phone is locked. I come after an hour or so and the download is stuck there. How can one not be frustrated then.
So conclusion is to hell with color os, just waiting for a stable custom rom(pixel experience rom for that matter).

Yeah I know few development for this os in the process. For sot I use actiondash. Substratum works mostly on stock android so no use trying them. And yes about the background downloading I tried locking the apps, turning off battery optimizations for them but didn't try turning off sleep mode, will do. Thanks.

Oppo vivo realme the os that shipped with their devices is cr*p.
Don't know whether the new stock OS realme OS be improved...
Damn, I was thinking of buying this but didnt know the stock ROM was so bad, is it stable at least? snappy?
Also any odds we get an officially supported custom ROM anytime soon?

I guess so too. Because they don't have much time to deeply modify the OS.
I'm facing a weird issue on my Realme X. After updating an app on Play Store, I don't see "app updated" confirmation on notification panel. I need to open Play store to check if the app is updated or not. My play store version is 17.8.14. All other notification working like when an update is available, when I install a new app etc. Only I don't get notification confirmation after updating an existing app.

Clear data of play store & play services, reboot and let those update itself, then update your apps. Also check for if any specific notification is disabled for play store.

This doesn't help. I know all these workarounds and tried already. I have created a post on Google Community and it seems like most people are facing this bug starting from 17.8.14 update. And after 17.9.17 update, it's even worse. There is no notification from Play Store whatsoever (no notification when an update is available, when an update is completed, when a new app is installed successfully). Google has screwed the notification function on Play Store.

Well can't say. No issues here.
Upgraded a while ago, here is my experience so far:
Speed
*Boot time is still around 30 seconds.
*Haven't noticed any lag in opening apps.
UI and smoothness
*Animations feel more fluid, haven't noticed any stutter when leaving animation speed at x1, lowering to 0.5x makes them a bit shaky.
*password lock keyboard has a facelift, now easier to use.
*New control center looks awful IMO, you lose info about how much data you spent today! Also, it feel very iPhonish.
*fingerprints got a bit inaccurate, adding them again fixed the issue.
*Scrolling speed has been reduced, and it feels like a jelly on slow swipes.
*Battery icon is now easier to read imo.
*There's a new gesture for switching apps, but it doesn't work on settings page, to figure!
*call recording is still there.
camera
*feels better overall
*colors are more accurate, and HDR is somewhat better.
*details have improved a bit in macro and ultra wide.
*focus peaking now can be enabled with auto focus which is a plus.
*Macro mode is now hidden inside the hamburger as if they're telling us not to use it much!
Multimedia
*Bluetooth still lags, in MX player you need to use HW+ or SW decoders. Some sources recommend using "the metronome" app from soundbrenner, it has some sort of latency fix inside the settings, but didn't work for me. Got to know my latency is about 250ms, though.
*need someone to confirm YouTube oversharpening issue has been resolved.
Will add more when I encounter anything. And let me know if you have any requests/questions

Actually I don't know and I'm not sure if this is exactly the same update as they're releasing via OTA.

I think this really is a global stable miui 12 rom, because it has fastboot version to flash! I will give it a go right now, as soon as it downloads!
P.S. 2.2. V12.0.2.0. QGGMIXM , this one !

It upgraded without any questions, my bootloader is locked.
Maybe we will see now some stock based miui12 stable roms? Something similiar like xiaomi.eu or miui pro?

But I am still skeptical to the stability of this manual update. Is it a fact that OTA update is usually stable than manual upgrade?

@H 1 Has the BT latency issue fixed in MIUI12?
Sent from my Redmi Note 8 Pro using Tapatalk
Their advertised privacy stats and notification features don't seem to be there though, security app does have an app behavior tab that can be accessed through activity launcher it has no data and UI has no such feature. Looks like it will be added in future MIUI 12 updates, or is the feature CN only?
@th1nd
I can't really tell, I have a pair of very cheap Bluetooth earbuds. I use wired ones mostly. Also, I have disabled all Google apps.
If it's of any help, latency in games is still around 300-500ms, but it feels a bit better watching content in newpipe and Firefox, latency feels less than 150ms.

Have you used adb to disable MIUI apps? Just tried the security page and I have the same issue. I have disabled many MIUI services. I'll try to reinstall them and see what happens.

Really? 300-500 is a lot! Like very much. I also prefer and use wired only but since I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z I refrain from using wired as BT seems more convenient while watching YT content and listening to podcasts. On AAC (Default codec for headset), my latency in YT is around 700-800 ms and even dangerously close to 1s in some instances! Whereas, on SBC (which I have to change everytime in Dev. Settings which is really frustrating), the latency is perfectly fine (less than 70 ms). But whenever I change it to SBC, the video starts playing after like 5s to match the audio afterwards but the audio is instantaneous and is unchanged. So, now I only hope that this terrible issue on default AAC is fixed in MIUI12.

No that dosent seem to be the reason, the "permission stats" and "permission counter" tabs are completely absent from the privacy protections tab. Our tab just has links to android 10 permission groups. If you sideload a version of the "security" app from the china beta rom (there on apkmirror) the stats and permission tabs appear but have no data in them. So thats why I think either these features are yet to be implemented or china only and unfortunately as indian mi community forums are banned there istn't any authoritative answer as to whether they would be implemented.
@Acc1234567
I have security app V4.1.2, sideloaded from apkmirror, not sure if it's global or Chinese.
Official MIUI site mentioned some features would be missing from certain devices (mainly super wallpapers, which aren't a big deal to me) but I don't think they mentioned anything about security app.
This needs a bit of investigation.
I intend to do a factory reset in the upcoming days. Will report if anything changes.
@th1nd
My BT buds are $5 knockoffs, with high latency on even SBC XD
From what I understand, high end BT buds have a low latency mode which trades battery life for lower latency.
As you mentioned, the device is supposed to measure BT latency and sync audio and video accordingly, which is the case on my Samsung tab A running android 8.1. There's even and option for that inside the settings! This should also be the case for offline games. But games played in real-time can only counter this issue by using wired headphones, or BT ones with extremely low latency.
Sorry for the long reply, but one last thing. I noticed that my BT performance improved a bit after disabling MIUI Bluetooth, then clearing the normal Bluetooth app's data.
You'd lose the ability to unlock device with Bluetooth, but everything else seemed to work fine.

This video might be helpful as well, this 8s the second time I hear about the metronome app.
If you're able to test it with your buds it would be great.

When an app gives me failure, I disable it first then uninstall it. This worked even for Google play services. Only app that failed completely was xiaomi's keyboard.
[Edit] now it's carousel and keyboard. At least they can be disabled *shrug*
