Any ROM based on Android 4.x with Video record working at least the same as on stock? - Motorola Photon 4G

Hi,
Is there any ROM based on Android 4.x which has Video recording not lagging? The same level of performance as on stock will be quite enough for me... No lagging while video playback would be also nice to have. I have tried Jokersax cm9 and cm10 and both didn't have these things working. Anyway, I would like to thank Jokersax and his work done to offer community the newest fancy stuff .
Or there's a common issue with drivers which prevents having video recording working stable in any ROM on Android 4.x? Is there any other option rather than waiting for official Android ICS release for MoPho?
Thank in advance for replying.

there's no drivers available for us to use for ICS/JB. so everything is hacked to kinda work. in this case it means lots of 2d related things don't work. video recording for example. JB is quite jittery at times. all due to lack of drivers.
if you want a stable rom with everything working. use a gingerbread rom.

CM7 by JOKERSAX is definately the best option for the most stable opperating system in my eyes, no offence to other builds or devs.
the cm10 version is running great for me after doing very small mods to get it working. I DO HAVE WORKING VIDEO ON CM10!!
The video illusions is the only video camera app ive had that works well and dosnt seem to run verry slow.. i had to disable HWA on the gallery and on the camera and the video cam app to reduce jitter and FC. but CM10 or any AOKP seems to be verry solid, i love to run AOKP JB roms from time to time to switch things up, THEBILL has a great selection to offer, jump to page 1 on any build to see what is still broken (borked?)
but the issue is that the drivers are hacked up from gingerbread and this is the best it will be + a few mods to improve quality until the release of ICS comes out, big hopes now with the photon Q being out and running ics/Jb
GOOD LUCK
let me know if i helped any!!

[Q] CyanogenMod 7(7.0.3-Harmony) or VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?!?!?!

This question was raised many times but as new (sable) version of mod ROM become available, I would like to ask it again which ROM has most improvements and more complete?
Is it CyanogenMod 7(7.0.3-Harmony) or VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?!?!?!
For example:
• VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 does not support High Definition Video Hardware Decoding. How about CyanogenMod 7 (7.0.3-Harmony), does it?
Is anything that supported by VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 but CyanogenMod 7 (7.0.3-Harmony), does not support it?
I would like to build kind of side by side comparison of 2 latest stable releases.
Ps. Personal question:
Does any of mod ROM support Bluetooth Microphone? (Original build (3588) does not!)
VEGAn-Ginger is built off the source of CM7.0. So if you are running VEGAn-Ginger you are really running CM7 base with some framework changes and a few additions/tweaks that Gojimi felt were better (some Google Apps installed, icon/graphic changes, etc..).
CM7.0 has gone to CM7.01-stable, CM7.02-Stable and now sitting at CM7.03-stable with many nightly versions in between. (Nightlies have moved to a new branch....OS 2.3.4 while the 'stable' versions are on the 2.3.3 branch).
Some of the tweaks Gojimi made in his release are now part of CM7.03 while the underlying source has also been updated by the CyanogenMod team.
Netflix works on CM7.03, it does not work on VEGAn-Ginger.
Both were nice when released, but CM7.03 has moved forward and implemented new features/code updates/bug fixes, AOSP merges etc.. while VEGAn-Ginger is still based off old CM7.0.
Thank you, tcrews.
You probably cleared a lot if newbie (like me) questions by this simple post.
so does CM7.03 support High Definition Video Hardware Decoding? (if not - does it mean I will not be able to watch 1080p videos?)
does CM7.03 support Bluetooth microphone? (I hope it still supports Bluetooth headphones)
Thanks
Partial hardware acceleration has been added to CM7.03 but not full.
The problem is that no hardware drivers for the chipset have been released that are compatible with Gingerbread.
I don't use bluetooth for anything so can't answer that question.
Also, it looks like gojimi has stopped development on the gtablet. It doesn't appear that VEGAn will be getting frequent updates anytime soon.
CM7 is being updated fairly regularly though. If you want gingerbread, also try the gharmony and vanilla aosp based roms. They have all the cm7 libraries
I used VeganGinger till last week. The installed CM7 and am loving it.
No more battery draining when idle. No waiting 20 min for it to boot up. It just works better for me.
Could you pls. confirm, CyanogenMod supports Skype video calls on G Tablet?
Thanks
Ps. I assume TNT Lite (retired) supports High Definition Video Hardware Decoding because it based on Android 2.2?
How bad it, do not have HD Video Hardware Decoding? (Presumably question to current CyanogenMod users) Can you watch movies, any limitation?
i got a new gtab with 1.2 bootloader. I would like to try this new cm7 since it is gingerbread and plays netflix... where is a link with instructions to use this rom?
Thanks!

If you get the chipmunk effect, don't give up, just do some research, for me it was an easy fix, i just had to modify the build.prop file
I have used a USB wireless 2.4Ghz Keyboard on CM7.03 Stable. It was plug and play. Not tried blutooth headphones yet.

[Q] Daily driver with solid VLC and Skype support?

Right now I have my GTab running Cyanogen 7, which is a solid daily driver. However, it locks up when I try to set the internal memory as the primary device. More importantly, the VLC I have running is quite studdery on high quality movies and refuses to play some formats.
Most importantly to the rom I want running is Skype support. Video in and out, sound as well. I see a very limited number of Froyo roms with a Skype fix. Has this been brought to any other versions of android? Obviously I would prefer ICS with VLC and Skype, but I see the roms out do not support the camera.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you will want to go with a Froyo rom for now to get what you want. I am sure they will get the camera working for ICS soon, but right now it's not working and who knows if Skype will work when it does. I like CM7 for it's stability but no HW acceleration means no HD video and poor gaming.
Since you are running CM7 are you on 1.1 or 1.2 bootloader? There is a new version of CM7 for the Gtablet, but I don't know if Skype works or not. My favorite Froyo rom for 1.2 is Beasty, very fast and stable. You can use any Froyo rom that doesn't include the Skype fix by flashing this kernel in CWM.
For better video playback in non Froyo roms, try MXPlayer. It can use software decoding that is optimized for ARM7 (Gtablet) so video playback is much better without working hardware acceleration. By the way where did you get VLC from?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm going to flash Beasty when I get my hands on the tablet again. I'll apply the camera fix as well if need be. Any recommended tweaks to Beasty other than that upon a fresh install?
CM7 RC3 is out now as well, if Beasty isn't all it's cracked up to be I'll load it up. I'm kind of excited for Beasty though, looks great.
Also the VLC version I have is admittedly a little outdated, so I'll definitely be trying a new one. MXPlayer was studdery as well on my CM7 so I'll try on Beasty with overclock.

netflix will not work on miui

The same is thing is happening also with cm 9 . No picture just sound on Netflix .Anybody have any ideas for a fix?
Netflix will not work on the ICS ROMs at the moment. They have memory and graphic issues.
ics isnt even well supported on the dx's. stick with android 2.3! the differences are minor and everything works.

What are the new issues for Atrix on CM10 comparing to CM9?

I knew that there are unsolved common problems like No fingerprint navigation or unlock, Builtin video camera dont work.
but what are the specific new issues, like new bugs/unstable/overheating/unworking features for Atrix on CM10?

Hi.
CM10 with "that kernel" (2.6.39.4) = HWA, camcoder, fingerprint (all working) but the battery duration is very short and some devices overheat and has random reboots.
CM10 with GB Kernel (2.6.32.x) = HWA, camcoder, fingerprint (not working) but battery duration is very nice.
Greetings
Thank you!
I would also like to know if CM9 are having the same problems too, as I know HWA, camcoder and fingerprint are also not working for cm9. Thus it doesn't seem to have 'new' issues for CM10 at all.
And one side question. HWA is invented since Android 3.0 (API level 11), so Can I say even HWA cannot be enabled, the performance is still not worse than that of Android2.3.x version of Atrix due to that issue?

Overall performance its very similar but not entirely. For example, HD video playback don't work fine than GB because we haven't properly libs to use the gpu decoding power, but the GUI its faster.

Also HDMI audio may not work..

Snapchat camera issue with any kitkat ROM

I don't know if anyone faced this problem.
But on my Galaxy S3 i9300, the camera works super fine except on snapchat, only when recording. When I record, it only records to the quarter of the length, which means only 2 seconds.
I have tried Omega ROM which is based on stock 4.3 JB and it worked well. All the kitkat ROMs are based either AOSP or AOKP and I only had the problem with those, the stock touchwiz (4.3 JB) worked fine.
I am downloading the AOSB rom but it's based on CM11 which is based on AOSP I guess? But, I hope it fixes the problem..
If anyone knows any KitKat stock ROMs for Galaxy s3, please list them and I hope they're great.
Thanks in advance :]

Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Then go to Snapchat and see if that works. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you!!
