I flash nightlies almost everyday and no issues here... ;)

Go to recovery, Perform wipe data/factory reset and go to mounts and storage and format /system and re flash latest nightly.

Make a nandroid before you do the above mentioned

I'm able to play 1080p videos with zero problems. I have no Idea why you need those codecs as I don't have them installed because MXPlayer says it'll let you know if it's needed.

Are you using any mods/custom kernels by any chance?

Some videos (sd and hd) stutter on diceplayer too. I don't know if it's cm9 related or not. But strange anyway...
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
Nope.

Right now I am on Fluxi kernel (because of BLN), however I tried various configurations:

1. stock CM9 + built-in kernel (with wipe dalvik cache) - stock player / mx player (without additional codecs)

2. stock CM9 + fluxi - stock player / mx player (without and with codecs)

3. stock CM9 + siyah - stock player / mx player (with and without codecs)

4. stock CM9 + Darknight 1.9 - stock player / mx player (without codecs).

I do not use any mods for CM9 (I like it how it is).

The wired thing is that youtube videos played through Youtube app (HD) stutter as well and it is not the Wifi problem because I have 10 mbs, so it does not stutter or lag on buffering.

I don't want to go back to stock SAMSUNG rom just to check whether video plays fine. I like CM9 very much and would like to keep it on my phone, because everything else works great. However this stuttering video makes me think that my SGS2 is worst than SGS1 which could play videos on ICS better than here:((
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
:facepalm:

@vitoski

Please don't come here if you're on any other kernel apart from CM9.

A clean install of latest CM9 nightly will play HD videos fine on MXPlayer without any stutter or hiccups. Something is wrong on your side (most likely UV or some crappie GPU tweaks or buggy kernel)

Sent from my Galaxy S2 powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
I know I know that you do not support other kernels, but as I said I was on pure CM9 with stock kernel...

I do not use any UV or overclock. I don't want to complain here, do not get me wrong. The only reason I ask for help is that I have tried everything I could. I searched forums against this problem and did not come up with anything helpful. Therefore I came here for help, because pure CM9 (with stock kernel) have that problem for me:(((

EDIT

Here is what I did now:

1. removed all settings for Fluxi kernel

2. rebooted to recovery and applied 'Kernel Cleaning script' (it clears dalvik, cache)

3. cleared 'init.d' folder for any scripts that could have left

4. flashed CM9 (from yesterday).

So now I am on pure CM9 with its kernel. Just checked movie I took yesterday with stock player and it stutters:((( So that does not seem to be the problem related to kernel - because I'm on pure (clean) CM9 now.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I see you have tried all possible things. Can you clarify what nightly build were you running to test?

Sent from my Galaxy S2 powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] sam3000:
So it does. I'll look into this when I can (most likely a kernel cypress_touchkey.c issue).
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
Sure I can.

Before I post my version I just installed MXplayer (without any codecs) and tried the move. It stutters again:(

So even that I'm on the pure CM9 (without ANY modifications) and have mxplayer the problem persists.

My version of CM9 is:

CyanogenMod version: 9-20120710-NIGHTLY-galaxys2

Compilation date: Mon Jul 9 23:31:43 PDT 2012

kernel version: 3.0.32-CM-g60af3e5
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Can you try using a older build. Probably 08/7?

I have decided to skip a few recent builds as its breaking a few things.

Only try testing it by doing a clean install. Make sure you do a format / system in recovery and

then install nightly to check.

Sent from my Galaxy S2 powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
But if I format system I will lose all lose all my apps and configuration (email app, mycars and other stuff). Can I just clean dalvik and cache partition?

Edit

In fact I have this problem since at least two builds (that was the moment when I noticed it - recorded some clip with S2 and then wanted to show it friend of mine - noticed it stutters/lags on the phone). I was not on 08.7 but before I upgraded to 09.7 (yesterday) I was on 07.7 and the problem was there as well

I have done a clean flash and on 10/07 build with stock kernel. 1080p videos stutter a bit. Works flawlessly on samsuck rom.
[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
If you are planning on formatting your internal SD card, remember of copy your Nandroid backup to your computer or it will be removed.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Really? Must be a problem with the Build I guess but I read previous person faced same problem on 07/7 build as well.

Q:

The changes in "cm-9-20120709-EXPERIMENTAL-galaxys2-VOLUMEDROPFIX-LUXRANGE.zip" will reappear on the changelist as soon as they are merged into one of the nightly builds, correct?

Currently I don't get how the transition from "experimental" to "nightly" works... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] :
I think our CPU/GPU isn't powerful enough to run 1080p files. I tried here and it wasn't smooth. Something like 15FPS. On Samsung ROMs it doesn't run smooth also. [even worse]
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
You're joking right?

Sent from my Galaxy S2 powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
Guys!

I do not know what caused that problem.

I tried what you suggested (did factory reset), reflash latest nightly (09.07) cause I could not download 08.7 so quickly.

After the phone boot up I tried to play the same video with stock player and did not encounter any lags. In fact I played it a couple of times and nothing bad happened...

Thx for the tip, still don't know what was wrong.

Will report later on how it works.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
What you said is correct, the changes have to be merged into the Niightly's.
[Galaxy S II General] :
No. Either the CPU/GPU isn't powerful enough, or the file was broken.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I'm positive its a broken file. I have seen hi-def 1080p videos on lots of S2 running stock rom with no issues

No nightly today. Only volume fix was merged. Jenkins: super fail today.

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

Ok. Send me your video. Your "hi-def" video can be low-def because of the bitrate. Maybe that's the reason you can run it good.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Sometimes have problems on cm9 with some specific video which laggs continuously but works fine on samsung rom

Will note the codec and all that other info next time if that happens with me

Happens even if its not HD
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
It can actually be that it's to heavy. There are 1080p test video files for download to test how powerful HTPCs are. Often the video stutters even in HTPCs. Some video files are to heavy for playback on phones, i guess.
[Galaxy S II General] hacktock:
I tried a sample 1080p clip few weeks ago (8 Mbps bitrate for video and DTS audio, x264 codec in mkv container) and it played fine and my CPU is underclocked at 500 MHz. I haven't tested it with HDMI out. The only app that played everything smoothly was MX Player (Tried Moboplayer, BS Player, VPlayer, etc). Too bad that it doesn't support DTS anymore in the recent versions.

I guess it depends on bitrate of the video

I will test some videos today with low and high bitrate

[Galaxy S II General] oneheart1975:
I do not think the CPU/GPU isn't power enough. It's more than enough to play HD videos.

[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Personally playing anything over 480p is pointless on a phone that only has an 800x480 screen as forget whether or not it's powerful enough you're just downscaling anything being played so there's no benefit in picture detail. I put Avatar on my phone briefly to test it and it worked fine but there's no difference in the HD version to lower res and if anything to downscale would surely be more processor hungry not to mention a waste of storage space. Each to their own I guess.

You seem like a noob. ;) Update to the latest nightly and start fresh. (wipe data, system, cache and dalvic.) Then, report.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yeah. Experimental builds contain Gerrit submissions that are still in review. In many cases, the results of testing with that experimental build are used to determine whether that submission gets +1ed or -1ed.

Eventually, depending on whether the submission actually works, it'll get merged, and then appear in subsequent nightlies.

This is problem with Samsung RIL. I face same issue every now and then. A clean install will not fix and devs are aware of this problem.

*Check-Box the Allow light decrease

*At decrease hysteresis use 50%

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yup. I decided to take a crack at the compass/sensor stuff... Sometimes a fresh view from a fresh perspective finds something someone else missed.

Turns out there were two problems:

1) The conversion factor for the orientation sensor itself was probably wrong. However, it may turn out it's irrelevant as other stuff calculates the orientation from other data sources (mag, gyro, accel). I haven't had a chance to see if that change actually mattered, I wasn't expecting it to merge so fast. :)

2) Two gyro axes were switched, and they were reporting turn rates 4x that of reality. As they were being fused into the orientation solution, what would happen is that if you held the device still, the orientation solution was stable. However, if you rotated it at all, it would go completely out of wack until you stopped and gave things time to settle down. As the gyro data changes very rapidly, it's hard to test... To figure out the right conversion factor I had to dig into the kernel source. Turns out our kernel sets a more sensitive mode (500 DPS fullscale instead of 2000) than the Aries kernel that part of the HAL was originally written for. It would have been next to impossible to figure that one out without two nearly identical devices adjacent to each other - one running a "known good" HAL for orientation, one running a "broken" HAL that needed fixing. I think the last time anyone poked at the sensor HAL, no one owned two similar devices to compare against each other simultaneously - I9100G is different enough to not be useful for this, and I think espenfjo only has an I9100 (but I can't be sure).

Edit: Oh yeah, for this particular issue, using GPS Status and Toolbox doesn't work well, it only shows the "fused"/"postprocessed" data. It's a great tool for many other things, just not this one. z-Device Test allows individually looking at each sensor to see how it's behaving (except the raw orientation sensor, which, as I said, may not even be used.)
