CM10 Beta #6 video decoding not working

As the title states, the video decoding is not working on my phone.

The "What Works" says that the decoding works, but as I try to play a video from my phone only the sound is playing. The video is not "moving".

More info:

I did download the same ROM from some other site(few months ago) and it did state that the video decoding didn't work, what is the truth.

After seeing the same ROM on this site, I downloaded it and flashed it and yet the video decoding is still not working.

The versions are the same, BETA #6, cm-10-20130314-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip

I tested .wav, .mp4 files which DID work on cm9 and several other ROMs

Am I the only one unable to play videos?

P.S. I can play video from the Youtube app flawlessly
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
Maybe a solution

I am not sure if this is going to help you, but did you by any chance smell "smelting/burning plastic" while flashing or tinkering with your phone.

Try this(whether you have or haven't smell burning plastic):

Note: This works in Win7/Vista, you will have to find out those steps by yourself IF you have WinXP

1. Connect your phone with the PC and select "USB Storage"(or similar, you get the point)

2. Press Start and type in "Computer Management" and press enter

3. Select "Disk Management" from the left tree-view(Storage->Disk Management)

4. There should be some storage space(with approximate size of your SD card) without a assigned letter, so you right click it and select "Change Driver Letter and Paths

After adding the new letter you should be able to use the space from the SD Card, at least that worked for me.

Hope it helps :laugh:

Just for the side note:

I did smell burning plastic while tinkering with my phone WHILE it was connected to the PC. I still don't know what was burning but afterwards I could only charge my phone via the PC, not access my SD Card. The strange thing was, I could access my SD Card storage on other PC's.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Probably only you. Are you using mx player?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
No, I am using "PlayerPro". Even the player that is coming with CM10 isn't playing the video files.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Try mx player then. .
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
Just tried. The video stucks, goes slow, the sound disappears sometimes. All of these is happening during playback...

I think I should try to flash CM10 again... I will reply as soon as I have done it and tested the video playback.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Does this happen with all[almost all ] videos? Or only some?

If it happens with all, go here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2152182

go to latest links > beta 5 video fix -find TV.zip there -flash it.

If it only occurs with some videos, then not much help here.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
Yes, it does happen on all videos. Me and my brother have the same phone and it's happening on his as well.

Will try and report back.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Still no working, same problems as before. Tried with mounting /system and without mounting it...

I think I got no other choice than to format everything and flash CM10 again?

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Just some question on the side, which kernel of the ones for "Kernel 3 v2 for cm10" you recommend?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39737920

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39804373

They are not the same size, but both are released the same date, so it's a bit confusing to choose one...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Just-in-case, check for burnt nand as well -details in that thread.

As far as kernels, both are same, just compiled by different persons.And I think both are old-The latest links haven't been updated for a long time -Newer ones by galaxyfreak kernel 3.0.81,I think have been released-search them. Anyway, I personally prefer kernel 2.6 or garuda kernels ,just for the sake of lack of mini-bugs[which will never be fixed]/oc[gpu/cpu and their side-effects]/battery drain.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

A log may be helpful to know what causes mx to play like that- can you upload /link a small copy of the video, you're trying to view-just to cross-check. [under 2 mb is better for my slow connection. ]
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
Try any mp4 file as I get those problems with every mp4...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
OK then, I can play virtually any mp4 ...Not sure what's the issue though...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
What I did was:

1. Copy cm-10-20130314-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip, gapps-cfx-jb-20120815-super-stripped.zip, cm10b6_kernel.zip onto the SD card

2. Gone into recovery(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265055), factory reset & clean(prepare for new rom), mounted everything and formated everything, wiped cache & dalvik cache(in advanced menu)

3. Flash kernel, reboot, flash cm10, flash gapps and reboot again

Now I tried to play the videos and they did play, except one. No idea what's the problem as the video file is in mp4 as the others which can be played now :confused:

Maybe the video is using some variation of the mp4 codec not known to anyone here XD

Well thanks for your time :laugh:

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

After testing more videos the same problem happens again.

For some reason are some mp4 and wmv files having problems being played normally(no sound, slow down, lag), but other videos(with the same extension o.o) are being played flawlessly.

Any idea to what is causing this? Should I try your kernel as that maybe fixes it?

I bet that not only mp4, wmv files are affected by this(got no other extensions to text...)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Yes. Other than extensions, the codec in which it is compressed, frame rate,audio codec and quality and even size matters[and may be more ]- that's why I asked you to share a small video file here, which doesn't work and attach a log as well. Kernel changing wouldn't be of much help. May be oc*d kernel may help....

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

Also check tools>properties in mx to find codec differences- If it's only with a particular codec, then try converting your videos.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
I changed to MiniCM10, same problems with that CERTAIN video(can't share cos it's a bit "disturbing" - I am serious). But other videos are now running fine. And I thought I "broke" something inside my phone :o

Why did you flash a new ROM if you are crying about it now? There is a guide on the forum, look for it....(Hint - flash the ROM again, or choose some other ROM)

Links:

-ROMs:

Mini CM10

-Recovery:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nikhil_android:
Flashing Procedure

In the dev thread it has been said that FOR first time installing CM9 on HTC explorer [ I consider this as for installing CM9 on stock GB ROM (thats my case)], "Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard" so can anyone tell me which CM9 zip it is talking about?

I can find

1.CM9 Build#2(aka build 9 by derefas)

2.CM9 Build#1(by derefas)

download link for both the above link direct to a Russian page. So the ROM is in Russian or English only?

Also as in my case I am on stock GB ROM so For installing this ROM, Should I first flash CM 9 then Flash the update CM 9.1 or can I flash CM 9.1 Directly.

also all these build are of CM 9.1. SO if I need to flash cm9 (as per installation proc given) from where can I get it??

Also is essential to use CWM only I mean I have "A310E Recovery." which I got from JaggyJags. is it okay if I flash this ROM using This Recovery???

Thank You!!!

INT2EXT+

Thanks for cm9. I have space problems (with about 50mb whatsapp won't install due to lack of space) so I want to do the INT2EXT+.

But I have a problem:

- the link provided to download int2ext+ in the original post actually takes me to download a kernel_cm.zip

- I went to INT2EXT thread and downloaded V2, and (under OSX) unzipped cm9, added the file in place and re-zipped again, but I can't flash that file from recovery, it fails to install. I can flash the original cm9 tho.

Could anybody give a hand with this please? Let me know if I should provide with more info.

Thank you very much
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aashking:
1 Flash the rom without adding the int2ext script.

2 Make sure you have made a sd-ext partition

3 When your phone boots up go to play store and root browser

4 Download the int2ext script

5 Go to root browser and copy the downloaded script to init.d folder (system/etc/init.d)

And give full permission to 40int2ext script (press and hold the file in option you will find permissions, check all the boxes)

6 Reboot and enjoy
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] plagasul:
Thank you!

Do you reccomend doing this with a fresh flash ? should I format sd and sd-ext from recovery also?

Is there any particular int2ext script, from all those available, that you'd reccomend for pico?

/edit/ there seems to be a default "11link2sd" in /system/etc/init.d , is this relevant ? /edit/

And a happy new year!

Yes Bluetooth does work here are the screen and its build #4
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
and you are using my boot.img i disabled bluetooth with or just what was included with the rom?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maazz:
yes liverpool i am sure its enabled and working just fine like it was before no change.. as proof already given above.

and lol that radio wasn't fm radio it was the network radio (cellular signals). i never opened the fm radio app.

i am sure that there is nothing changed by installing build3 with ur boot.img since battery is still draining at the same rate as before with sakinda boot.img :o
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
i and others must be going mad then as bluetooth is disabled with my boot.img, it will be impossible for it to work, how did you install the boot.img ?

attached is the boot.img i and others are using/testing
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maazz:
i have just overwrite ur boot.img with the one inside build3 and flashed it clean. am i doing it wrong ?:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
well that depends, i assume you`ve basically added my modified boot.img replacing the original boot.img inside the rom.zip file. also did you wipe boot/cache/dalvik before installing rom? try that then come back and tell me bluetooth is working:cool:

EDIT: i`m uploading the build i compiled from the same source (with all commits to date) which is same as lirokoa build#4, only difference is i added a file manager and disabled bluetooth in the boot.img (after compiling the rom)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maazz:
yea i believe i did a clean install, anyways i am doing it again. kindly tell me if bt is successfully disabled and if i turn it on what will hapoen then?? will it just dont trun on or it will turn on but won't work ??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
basically you press bt on notification drop down and nothing happens, it will appear after some time a light blue colour (hardware is trying to start) but no bt symbol near clock and because its been disabled at the kernel it wont turn on or affect anything else..........best is to see if this happens then reboot phone as hardware continues to try and start creating battery drain, once rebooted dont touch bt just leave it

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
if you have use of a computer (can do it on phone too) you can edit the main rom .zip file (build#4) with winrar or similar and replace the boot.img inside, save the modified .zip file, backup phone with CWM if needed, wipe, boot.cache,dalvik and flash or if you dont want to mess about doing that their is link here http://www.freefilehosting.net/btdiscm-9-20120830-unofficial-pico (already pre-disabled bt) install with CWM wipe, boot,cache,dalvik....flash done......DONT TOUCH BT ANYMORE......until bt fixed in next few builds

INT2EXT+ INSTALLATION TUTORIAL

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE S2E, LINK2SD OR SIMILAR, YOU MUST REPARTITION SD CARD AND FACTORY WIPE

int2ext+ is a relatively new script that instead of making symbolic links(Link2SD) or moving certain partitions(S2E) to sd, extends your internal storage into your ext partition in sd, which means S2E's potential space saving and Link2SD's stability combined together and gives you something to brag about.

PREPARATIONS

Download the latest build of CyanogenMod 9.

Download the latest version of CronMod INT2EXT+ here.

Open CyanogenMod 9 zip.

Navigate to /system/etc/init.d

Open INT2EXT+ zip.

Navigate to /system/etc/init.d

Add the file called 40int2ext in the /system/etc/init.d directory in CM9 zip.

INSTALLATION

Go to recovery, do factory reset and advanced > partition sd card.

Select 1024M for ext(for some reason, I selected 4096 and it only read the first 1GB-ish) and 0M for swap.

Wait until it says Done and goes to menu.

Go to Mounts and Storage.

Select USB storage and connect your phone to your computer.

Copy your modified CM9 zip file to the root of your sd.

Select unmount.

Reflash ROM.

Reboot.

After reboot, go to settings > developer settings > root access and select Apps and ADB.

Go to your adb directory and do adb shell.

Type su.

Then do:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Reboot.

After reboot, reboot into recovery and flash gapps.zip normally.

Then go to Applications and enjoy your new, extended internal storage.
