[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QNBT:
Im currently using the official CM7 nightly build so I cant say anything from experience but Ive heard that the Myth ROM is very smooth and lightweight.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pseudonym:
If ace is great for gaming then you dont need apps for it to boost its performance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintiIceCream:
I mean only 2-3 fps :D

But i solved it ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Ace isnt that good for gaming...Get Chainfire3D from Play Store,also try Swapper(not really recommended).
[Fascinate General] bigjobber69:
Does anyone have the link to the thread where the fix is for this....I have the file but I recall you need to do something special in Titanium back up before flashing it. Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] sendan:
Here's the main thread.

And yes you need to check troubleshooting>follow symlinks in settings, otherwise you will get corrupted backups.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
EDIT: This guy just made my day!! I just made a 47kbit video with this mod to stock camera.

NOW we can close this thread if mods so desire =) Thank you everyone!

So the bitrate on HTC One X's camera is hilariously low.

Videos that it spits out terrible when compared to SGSII which I gave to my wife. Video is just strobbing and wobbling due to it.

I understand that some people have very low quality standards and are satisfied with it, and there were some threads about it here.. but everything kinda died out.

I think hardware is capable of "normal" bitrate, since some market camera apps allow for it.. But can we make a hack to our camera to allow for high bitrates?

I mean, I love the phone.. but what's the point of 1080p video capability if it spits out 10k bitrate? None.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Maybe that should tell you something. Do you think starting a new thread when others are open is going to change anything? It's been acknowledged and is for now a fact of life. What are you expecting to happen? More ranting? A petition perhaps? For those that are desperately miserable with all or parts of the One X, why don't you sell it and get an SGS3? Repetitive ranting here isn't going to change anything no matter how many threads are opened.

Duplicate threads, especially those that are stated as duplicate threads, get closed.
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
I agree, 720p goes ok, but 1080p stutters a lil bit.. the bitrate should be higher..

tried it with some other apps, like lgCamcorder.. you can select the bitrate and you'll get smoother video (20mbps is enough)

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

maybe HTC will eventually bring out an update, wich increases the bitrate of the camera app ;) (hope so)
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
Look at you all puffing and pissed off, lol. Angry little creature.

I opened this thread because it's a legitimate question about why aren't those threads getting an attention they deserve. Perhaps people are satisfied with choppy wobbly video that One X produces, perhaps a solution has been found that I'm not aware of. Hence, the thread.

And a related question - What are you expecting to happen by yelling at me for opening this thread? More ranting? For you, desperately miserable and super angry about this thread, why don't you see a shrink - perhaps they can fix you up.

Now unless you got something relevant to contribute to the problem at hand, go rant somewhere else.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
I remember seeing someone who developed a higher bitrate camera for Sensation trying to make one for HOX.. but not sure what happened there - did he lose interest?

It just surprises me that this isn't discussed much more.
[HTC One X] mafia187:
Search for the sense HQcamera mod - when i was running sense i got 29fps at 11-12,000kbps and uncompressed/4-5mb pics BIG difference compared to stock camera. CM9 - im getting 18-19,000kbps with 22fps indoors, will test outdoors later.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:

[HTC One X] mafia187:
cool m8, When you look at the results from the mod/apps you think what the hell is HTC thinking.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
Thank you! I remember looking at that thread, but haven't seen the these results.
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
Yes, I remember that one. Unfortunately, development of it for HOX was stopped, and existing beta mod freeezes up and FCs a lot. I just tried latest 1.3beta for Sense4 - that is indeed the case.

I contacted that developer with a PM, asking him what does he need to fully port that mod for HOX, with 25+mbits for 1080p. If he needs a financial incentive to compensate for his time and effort, I'll get a bounty going here.

So far, only Camera ICS works decently well, without crashing.

LGCamera is on and off kind of thing. About half the time it doesn't record anything - just black video feed.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I've actually been asked by a XDA member to do some more tests with the current ROM version. Will be doing 720p and 1080p some time soon :) Been raining these days, not enough sun ):
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
one thing to open a new thread to "talk about the problem" over and over, another with the purpose of actually solving / improving the issue.

imho i'm tired of discussing the "problem", it has been discussed already to death, that's why the search function is for.

as far as the "solution" goes, there's couple of threads/developments around which (WOW) are linked in the respective "problem" threads....

@OP: there's other alternatives to LgCamera that work well...care to search for them?
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
And your ranting adds what to the thread?

LGCamera doesn't work very well with HOX. Many times it can't get the feed from camera and won't work until reboot.

Camera ICS is a bad alternative as it's ugly, has adds and has resolution problems.

HDCamera mod doesn't work with HOX.

I did read those threads, that's why I opened this one.

Now, can we stop acting like a new thread costs millions of dollars and move on with the discussion? If you don't want to participate - don't participate. If all you want to do is complain - please avoid this thread kkthnx.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
close your eyes when taking a photo so you don't have to see the CameraICS interface...add 1.99$ to the mix and get rid of the ads. there are no resolution problems.

nothing new that hasn't been said before.....
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
'close your eyes when taking a photo'??

... Wow. Just.. Wow.

Could I ask you to please stop trolling this thread? Just... ignore it. Thanks.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I've never mentioned it before, but all those apps at least used to have dodgy aspect ratios when recording video, couldnt find any option to work around it.

Just looked now actually, most recent version of camera ics has fixed that...
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
It still does =(

Just bought a paid version of Camera ICS - tested it out - stretched videos. Had to get a refund immediately.

So Camera ICS isn't a viable option, so is LGCamera that can't even connect to the camera about 80% of the time (tested on several ROMs).

Back at square one =(
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
45kbit+ video mod for stock camera!!! Seems to be working fine so far. Now I'm happy =)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Seems to be recording at 24fps only. Not smooth enough for me /:
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
there was a mod for 29FPS out there, wasn't it?

but bitrate still @ 10-12mbps :D

pick your poison, will take a genius to combine FPS and bitrate in one mod :D

Just be careful -- loctite destroys polycarbonate (it leads to stress cracking). Even loctite fumes can weaken it. I would go with something like super glue. Super glue will cause polycarbonate to become foggy if it comes in contact with it, but it won't cause structural damage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
Thanks for giving me some of the credit ;)

even tho I said to use some glue in that post I never actually tried it, mine gets loose every couple of days. Anyone have good experience using glue after tightening?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] khov07:
Mine just started doing this a few days ago...drove me nuts as well! Did the exact same thing as you with a mini screwdriver (didn't really think it would work), but lo and behold, it worked. My kickstand is as good as new - I just hope we won't have to do this on a regular basis.

Anyone have any feedback on the super glue idea?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rockhstrongo:
I have the loose kickstand problem. I attempted to tighten the the nut, but it just kept on spinning and spinning, without ever tightening. Messing with it actually made the looseness worse! Has anyone else had this happen?

you can get ant rom that is compatible with the lg thrill, you can search this forum for some roms, and just install CWM recovery ( ClockWorkMod recovery) you can learn how to do that by searching it on this forum in the LG Thrill section.

you can install ClockWork Mod Recovery or you can install Touch Clockwork Mod recovery. Only difference is that in CWM recovery you have to use the volume rockers to navigate through it and in Touch CWM recovery you can just touch the screen. Hope this helps :}

In the ICS keyboard I know it was easy, the file to edit was something like res/values/strings.xml

You could try with a for loop for every file and then let grep do its job.

Wondering if anyone on the stock rom has seen this issue.

I have an co-worker who has an Inc2 that we got a little while ago and replaced after it took a tumble, so with the new one we were hoping this issue would be something easy to get around but it still happens with the new phone.

On any of his email accounts, he cannot download attachments. Gmail, exchange, comcast, anything... you tap the download icon next to the message and nothing happens. If you do it from his comcast, it says "download failed". I've tried it over 3g, over wifi, anything... and still get the same result. I have checked all account settings so it isn't set to "only download over wifi" or anything, and still nothing.

Anyone seen this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tcwota:
I would check to make sure there's a mini SD card in it; kinda sounds like the kind of thing that happens when there's no storage present.

[HTC Rezound] archalon:
Im running ICS SlimROM 1.6 and (was) loving it. But:

Titanium Backup Pro prompted for an update, which I ran, then it barfed and told me to install BusyBox from the market

Installed BusyBox, which got TB to run

uninstalled WiFi tether ( not working, another issue.....)

Next full reboot of phone, its stuck at the Google Gears

Then:

I went into recovery, wiped cache, Dalvik and ran fix permissions

Reboot, stuck at Google Gears

Mounted SD in Recovery, copied my PH98img file to SD, fastboot and ran update

Still stuck at Google Gears

I need to get the file off of SD to get into Recovery again, but when I do, what next ? Full wipe ? Reflash ROM ?

Only thing I can think of is BusyBox broke the ROM......am I wrong ?
[HTC Rezound] archalon:
I was stuck doing a full reflash of the rom, fixes, updates etc.......only thing I can figure is that the supersu was gorked...... Superuser (chainsdd) from the market ended up on my phone after the busy box install and didn't want to work or be removed until reflash.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Most likely, you installed busybox to the /system/bin/ directory.

Uninstall it, restart your phone, then re-run the busybox installer, except this time make sure you select /system/xbin/ as the install path.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I'm on CleanRom 4.4 and it runs fine. I have the BusyBox install app from the market. I currently have BusyBox 1.20.2 installed and it's installed in /system/bin. That's where it wanted to install it, so i let it. I have had no problems with it being there. Should I move it? What is the pros and cons of it being in /system/bin vs /system/xbin??

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
If its working at /system/bin/ then its probably not an issue for you.

I have init.d scripts, and my init.rc calls for busybox to be located at /system/xbin/. If I accidentally installed busybox to /system/bin/, busybox and thus also my init.d scripts fail to load because the init.rc file still tries to load it all from /system/xbin/.

but, since its likely you didn't build your ROM yourself, you may not know exactly where its supposed to be installed. You could look at the original update script in the zip file that installed your ROM, because usually there will be an install path and associated symlinks in that script which you can then use to determine where busybox is supposed to be installed on your particular device. Or, if your ROM has init.d support, you can look in the /init.rc file for the lines where busybox is called to enable init.d support. Your install path for busybox should mimic whatever path is called in this file, meaning if its attempting to load busybox from /system/xbin/, then that is where you need to have busybox installed, and not /system/bin/.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I'm running Scott's CleanRom 4.4. I've looked in the updater-script file inside the zip.

I see the line: symlink("/system/xbin/busybox","/system/bin/busybox");

So, I am assuming that it can be installed in either location. When I installed busybox using the busybox install app from the market, it has "Smart Install", it scans system memory and then recommends where to install everything so I just let it do that.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
So, according to that symlink, the actual location of busybox should be in /system/xbin/, but has created a symbolic link to /system/bin/ because some applications look for it in that location as well.

on a linux system, the physical location is the first listed path, the symbolic link is created by the second path, which essentially allows you to run busybox from either location even though it is actually located in /system/xbin/ and not /system/bin/

make sense?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_MamaBee:
Please go easy on me, here. I know how to search forums, I just don't always understand what I read on here. :laugh: My husband has always helped me with most of my Vibrant issues, but he has recently defected to his HTC One S.

My Vibrant is getting unbearably slow. I'd been running a Fishman rom on it, and it seemed very, very slow. We then decided on the Slim Ryder rom. The first day or so it was unbelievably fast. That, unfortunately didn't last.

I have only the minimum apps on there and only one updating widget (BeWeather time and weather. Used to use Beautiful Widgets but it began superimposing the time over itself so I couldn't read the time...).

I'm a realist, and I know that my Vibrant is old. I know it isn't as fast as The Hubs' new HTC. I'm only comparing it to itself. Here's where I've noticed the slow downs:

*when switching portrait/landscape (sometimes tries to show half a landscape screen in portrait mode)

*when touching a text field, it is very slow to bring up the keyboard...sometimes i have to tap multiple times

*when Swyping or using Swiftkey, it sometimes hangs on a letter

*it takes several seconds to bring up my text messages, dialer, call logs...basic phone functions.

*using the browser is unbearable.

I've done the old standard...Master Reset, cleared history, caches, cookies, etc. I have wiped call logs and clear out my texts every other day. I don't store music on my phone (Google Music) and have my photos upload to my Google+ account via wifi so I don't get a lot of that stored up. I do not use a live wallpaper.

I'm not eligible for an upgrade until November. I am absolutely open to trying other ROMs, but as a mama with little people and no landline, having the ability to reach 911 from my phone is non-negotiable. Can anyone offer me any ideas on how to limp through until my upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Fellas, if she is using Slim_Ryder, then she is using a kernel that already has Voodoo included, IIRC.

To me, these symptoms sound like you may be getting bogged down on your low-end CPU frequencies. Maybe get something like SetCPU or CPUmaster from the market and up your lowest frequency to the next step. When I am on a 2.2 ROM, I use BaliX1.2 and I have mine overclocked to 1.2ghz but my lowest frequency is 400ghz and not the standard 100-200 that most use. I find that this bogs my system down a bit more than it should. So that is when I decided to test it out and up the lowest in step increments.

You can go to my Battery Guide and in the 3rd post, there is a link to get SetCPU for XDA users for Free. When you use this, you might also want to check the governors as well. Some 2.2 kernels do not play well with On-Demand (BaliX most definitley does not-proven a long time ago). I have mine set to conservative and no profiles set at all. My I/O is Deadline also.
