yeah, I deleted it after a wile because dev posted this

Simple download the zip, open it and you find the file you looking for.

Or if you prefer flash zip from recovery.

bye
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jmdearras:
How?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] frescagod:
yep, you're right, i didn't have mount \system as writeable. all good now! thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
The cwm zip doesn't have a set_perms command in the update-script... does it still set the correct permissions somehow?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
Paranoid is based on CM sources and this change has since been merged into CM so its likely it has already been added to his ROM.

Mount system as RW in ES file Explorer settings.

I think if CWM replaces a file, it uses the previous permissions.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ianflo:
tried to search thru the thread but couldnt find it, does this apply to hangouts and video chatting as well?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
So I was digging around trying to understand... Does bitRate="16000000" cause any issues? I notice 1080p recording on my GNex only uses 12000000 according to its profiles.. also I notice 480p is 720x480 and all use mp4 on the GNex.. wouldn't we be better off just adapting the GNex media_profiles.xml over?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] iSchadenfreude:
Can I just flash this now??

Hey thanks for your time and your thread. I just have a quick question. Now that the flashable zip exists can I just flash this in CWM and everything will be okay? Do I need to do anything?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bachviet:
Flashed the zip file and it works great for me. I am running ParandroidAndroid 2.1.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
Not sure about that as I don't know if they video chat services use their own compression system or if they use Androids internal video encoding system. They may just use a compression algorithm that takes advantage of NEON on the processor rather than converting it to H.264 and then sending it.

I haven't tested with higher bitrates, but I can't see why 16000000 would give issues on the Nexus 7. The Tegra 3 has a very powerful video encoding processor. It's not a good idea however to adapt the Galaxy Nexus media_profiles as they are tuned for an OMAP while the Nexus 7 has a Tegra processor. It may try telling the Tegra to do something it's not capable of. The better choice would be adapting the one from a Transformer Prime.

Just flash it with CWM. Nothing else is needed.

Thanks dude

You're famous, it was on yahoo's front page :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
Seriously, Yahoo? You're that short on things to talk about? Like I know this is a nice feature but it's not THAT amazing... Did anyone get a screenshot of it or anything?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] maverickgenius:
I am not aware of Yahoo but it is definitely on Engadget. That still makes you famous, I guess :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dympy:
You've also been featured on the front page of a dutch tech site, though they don't name the developer, they do link to your thread.

But yeah, very nice mod, though I haven't modded my N7 a lot yet, this was one of the first things after root.

I especially like it in Skype.

Dympy.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bubblesmoney:
a reply on your youtube video says they got this to work without rooting???

is this possible without root as stated on that youtube comment and if so how?

quote on youtube ... "Works﻿ like a charm. No root needed just had to use es file explorer and astro file manager since es did not want to overwrite file. Thank you!"

You are on Yahoo front page... under Technology News section.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
Nah it's not possible as root is required to remount the system partition in read/write, and to access a directory that is set to not writable for the Android users.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mobileillusion:
Hi,

thanks hillbeast for discovering the 720p recording capabilities of Nexus 7.

I have just modified my camera app (Camera JB+) to support 720p video recording. No root/profile change requiered.

Unfortunately only paid version (1.99$) is available, but I hope to release a free/limited version soon. Anyway, If you want to try it and after testing you are not happy with it I will refund the money (no 15 minutes limit).

Here is the XDA thread with the info:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jmdearras:
I found that if you boot to recovery, with the USB cable, then remove it, and replace it with an OTG cable with a USB Key, you can then mount and see the external usb drive, (otg-usb/) and move, flash files. :o

[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
And of course, Neowin stole it from Engadget, so there's another! :laugh:

Shouldn't have any effect on Skype since the media profiles are for file encoding and creation.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sboh247:
YEP! I am stuck on the Nexus X logo. I replaces the xml file with the one in OP but might have messed up the permissions. I have tried flashing the zip file and wipe cache and dalvik but that has not helped me. I really dread doing a factory reset and lose all my data over getting 720p. Doesnt seem so exciting getting 720p now. I'll just leave it for now in the hope that i can get help from you guys. Feels like a part of me is missing already, counting on you guys ;) Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ianmedina:
just install camera jb+ =)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
That's really weird. Don't panic though. If you've got access to recovery and adb there's always hope. Try flashing this stock restore (labeled "-Undo") zip for the xml file and see if it works. If not, go back to recovery and go to Advanced > Fix permissions. Hopefully that gets it working for you. I also included my own CWM zip of the 720p fix too in case you want to try it after. I used this on my device so it should work.

Oh, and next time? Next time you should probably make a recent nandroid before you go modding system files :p

Edit: Updated zips for 4.2 here.

[Attachments removed. Undo added as link to 4.2 post if people need it to pass the 4.2 OTA asserts.]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
I'm not a fan of paying for applications when I can do it for free. Most likely the method for recording 720p in this application will be it detects if it's a Nexus 7, and if it is, it'll add another profile to the media encoding, so basically the same as what I did here but enclosed into an application.

Technically I should be asking the guy for a percentage of his profits, but I'm not Apple.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] micks_address:
ok, i followed the instructions exactly as per first post.. i am running stock rom with trinity kernel, when i rebooted, i got the boot animation screen, then the screen flashes and my nexus 7 switches off... whats the easiest way to recover? im at work now so cant connect to a pc etc till i get home.. cheers, mick
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
Did you install the .zip or edit the XML? If you are going to edit XML files, you really should backup your system first.

EDIT: Are you people who keep getting bootloops adding the + signs to the XML or adding 480p profile again? Because if you are then that's your problem. Read the instructions properly, or use the update.zip.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Capt.PP:
Great finding hillbeast, I hope MODACO can implement your finding in his free camera app on Play Store for us none root/unlock users.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] micks_address:
i edited the .xml after making a backup copy, i added the new profile below the 480p profile, checked the file properties and set them as per the checkboxes.. just do joy with rebooting.. i guess i'll have to wait till i get home to sort.. am i looking at a complete data reset?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
I'm not sure. It could just be a simple system restore form backup.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] micks_address:
how do you mean a system restore from backup?

Is there any chance i'll be able to browse to my backup xml file once i connect the nexus to computer and copy it back over the edited file?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hillbeast:
I mean restore a Nandroid backup.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] micks_address:
i dont have one of those... ah well a learning experience i guess..

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

if i can get the update.zip file from the first post onto a usb key and boot into recovery and flash that - would that sort it?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
The Modaco isn't really an app in itself, it just adds the shortcut to the stock camera app to the apps drawer. Apps can't add media profiles without root anyway, Camera JB+ probably just has the profile built in instead.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sboh247:
I really appreciate the help, thanks. I've tried the 'Undo fix' but no luck, still gets stuck on X logo during boot. I'm gonna have to go for a hard reset when I get home from work after using Toolkit to get as much as possible from my Brick 7. If I had a tail, it would be between my legs, thats how silly I feel right now. Gonna have to take my backups (android & pc) a lot more seriously now; I'm having a deja vu feeling cos I'm sure I must have said that before:D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Do you have CWM? Do a Fix Permissions like I told you. It's probably where you went wrong as bad perms or a bad system apk are the most common causes of getting stuck at the boot animation from my experience.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamboboy732:
I was wondering if anyone has found a waterproof case much like the Life Proof cases for the iphone and ipad (sorry for mentioning the i devices). I like the protection from water so I could use my nexus 7 while lounging in the pool, but really haven't been able to find something other than what look like fancy zip-lock bags, which i don't like because they cant stay on the device all the time, and they seem cheap. Thanks in advance for any help.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
Yo,

So I went over to CyanogenMod's wiki site, downloaded the Google Apps (G.Apps) for CyanogenMod 9.

I then stripped the .zip of everything but the "META-INF" folder and all it's contents and the "system" folder but with only the an empty "apps" folder inside.

What this allows me to do is install alot of apps from Google Play all at once through CWM. (APK's ripped using Root Explorer from within "data > app")

But my question is, is how can I install these apps but have them visible under the "Downloaded" tab from Application Management menu like I've just downloaded it from Google Play its self?

Thank you to anyone who can help :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chils41:
Flash that zip file from the CWM recovery over your ROM.very simple.

I've got the other case -- an unlocked AT&T GSIII and I'm on T-Mobile. Any problems loading up my AT&T phone with a T-Mobile ROM? How about a T-Mobile radio? Never mind, started my own thread, no need to derail this one...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Venal_System:
Yep Sprint roms work the same, Verizon don't work yet because they have a sim verifier I haven't located yet. Forgot to mention, some AT&T and sprint roms do have carrier specific apns-conf.xml's but can be replaced with one from ours with ES file explorer. So that means no data, but most work out of the box. Be careful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxAtAx:
Thank you, you have now answered all the questions I had about the other carriers. Good job, good info.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
can you please provide a list of the 5 ATT rom's you have flashed succesfuly.

Did you have to flash a TMO radio ?

TIA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Venal_System:
No to the radio question, you use the one you have installed. Factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then in advanced, wipe davlik cache. That's it, next flash rom.

As for a list,

I love Aristodemos, using a modified version daily.

Kyan rom is nice.

Ariel,

Triune,

blazer,

and Miui all work well from AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
I know. I can read. I have read OPs and most posts. I want to know what makes each ROM/port different. Each of them have almost same features and looks. I'm asking comparing CM9 vs Stock vs AOKP vs Slim vs Beam vs etc and cMIUI vs MIUI. I'm not complaining, just want people to share what make them choose one ROM over the other because all are smooth and fast and awesome and so on the same generic descriptions... Let's be honest, most of the has mainly same features, like to mod battery icon, clock, toggles, drawer, theme, lockscreen, some apps here and not there, different bootanimation, etc... you know what I mean. So what is it then? Please, elaborate some answers.

To me, there is a noticeable difference between all mentioned and RemICS and so with AOKPCB but mostly because of the theme/looks and some apps and few features.

I would like to read something else than just "X ROM is fast and smoother" and yes I know everyone is different so they get different experience with their ROM of choice, but what makes you choose a ROM over the other. That's the thing

No trolling allowed and it's not my intention to offend anyone. I appreciate all projects and stuff here, I'm not complaining. Just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
U can go to other forum like i9000 and nexus S and ask this question there, too ;)...they r just for your own choice lol, just flash one u like ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
They basically all come from the same base as far as Android OS goes, and as far as comparing no one can tell you what to choose. I know you are not asking for someone to choose for you, but that kinda is where the question leads. Compare them for yourself. See what you like. They all have their own flavor, mods, tweaks. Some are closer to stock, others are heavily modded. That's your answer in a nutshell. No one is gonna sit down and draw you up a chart of features for each rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
@dao

I can ask there but that's not my phone and that doesn't answer my question. It's obvious they are there for choice, how to choose then? Why? That's what I would like to read. BTW, thanks for updating RemICS. :)

@greg

I have used them all. That's why I'm asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
You just have to choose what you like and what works for you. It's that simple. Until Aries is released and we have an updated kernel, they are all about the same, but Aries will fix some issues. Like those blasted capacitive back lights timing out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HKSpeed:
What made you choose miui for your phone? Did you try different ROMs before?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
@HKSpeed

Oh, I haven't updated that... I'm on CM9 at the moment. My ROMs of choice are Team Acid's. I have been using their work since Froyo so I'm biased. I was on AOKP but battery was a big issue for me, it drained very fast, so I went on CM9 to see how it works since most other ROMs are based on it. Thought it should be more simple, less tweaked. I have tried all, except Linaro and Provision. I like them all but somehow I can't notice difference between them except but a few little things here and there.

I was on MIUI because Dao kept updating it and fast. It was more advanced than other ports/ROMs, then I went on AOKPBC just to see and the theme was too heavy, awesome but not what I was looking for.

I'm not saying I will stay on CM forever, might go on a flashing rampage sometime soon. I know these are WIP that depend on kernel so until then I shall keep experimenting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krazymonkeys:
I know the others have said pretty much the same thing I am saying, but it comes down to a matter of choice. The ICS roms are all CM9 base if I am not mistaken, so you are dealing with mostly the same issues and bugs on each, so it really comes down to a point of which theme you want and which apps/bloat you want. It becomes a real pain to have to debloat/rebloat a rom and I only ever do so if the theme and layout is custom and really nice but fun to use. If it's basically a stock rom and doesn't have typical apps/bloat/mods/tweaks that I am used to using, I hit the thanks button for the hard work that helps future devs have an easier time and keep looking for a rom that has everything I want. Right now, I am going to be selling my phone soon so I can get a SGS III at least, or maybe wait to see if the rumors are true and T-Mob gets the One X+. I'm drooling over that OC'd Tegra 3 ::fingers-crossed: But, that doesn't mean I won't be trying out different roms at the moment. I love the ICS roms but hate that I can't use calling over wifi. I know there are other options, but they are a bit of trouble with linking google voice among other things, so ICS isn't really for me yet even though it is beautiful. There's my choice...what's yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Ive tried to not post but it bothers me when people cant understand a simple question.

Chris31jct is NOT asking for you to convince him. He is asking why did YOU choose a specific rom.

He is also asking for a reason other than the generic responses given 90% of the time.

I started out on aokp then when slimics was released I used it for a while. I wanted to try aokp to see why it was so popular. I like aokp the customization options its a nice rom. I wanted to try slimics just because it doesnt have all the extra apk that aokp and cm9 have that I never use.

Most of the time I will test a rom just to see what the hype is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ismailham:
3 things decide your choice of a ROM:

Stability

Customization

Battery consumption

In terms of Stability, Usually the higher the customization and options of a ROM, the more conflicts it has( not a rule).

Battery should be the same on all since they use same code and kernel.

Graphic Customization: AOKP is the Best

Settings and options: CM9 is the best

Stability + Battery: I personally prefer SlimRom or Stock cuz it has the most required customization and its very slim( about 80 mb) so probably lighter on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krazymonkeys:
I wasn't trying to convince him. I know he'll choose whatever rom he wants and that's not for me to decide and/or judge. I was merely stating why most of us choose the roms we choose which is what I interpreted the question to be. The reasons I gave are the reasons I choose the roms I choose. I don't mean to speak for everyone, but that would be the most basic reason to choose a rom other than just to try out what is out there but we ultimately stick with certain roms due to what's included in the rom as well as the stability of it, although as stated before by more than just me, the ICS roms have the same bugs and therefor the same stability issues. Again, not trying to step on anyone's toes, I don't claim to speak for everyone, but I answered the question as I interpreted it.

Also, as to specific roms, I'd be here all day if I chose to speak on that because I started using custom roms on my old G1 and I've tried out probably over 100 roms for various phones over the last few years. For that matter, I could go way back to the days of the Motorola Razor and a few other phones out around the same time, but I was speaking more about android roms. As far as the roms is concerned I don't care if it's miui, ICS, AOKP, etc. If it has the features I'm looking for and is stable, then I use it until something comes around I like better.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I went with AOKP because

It had full source code and I could modify it as I wanted

I liked the layout of toggles

AOKP ROM Control had features I wanted

I could long-press Back to kill a process

It has "quiet hours"

It has decent control of background data use

I knew where the kernel came from and it has full source code

I knew where all binaries came from and it has full source code

I know the last two of these are an absolute requirement under GPL, but many ROM "authors" fail to provide this information.

AOKP has some "crap" that I freeze to improve performance, but I haven't run out of on-phone storage yet.

CyanogenMod 9, for me, wasn't quite as "usable" as AOKP, the way I use my phone.

MIUI is too "Technicolor" and gimmicky for me. Most of what it has (other than a decent File Explorer, when it doesn't crash) I consider "bloat."

SLIM seemed like a good candidate, but without easy access to full source and the ability to build as I desired, it wasn't on my short list. I tried Lightning or whatever its "default" launcher is, but it had a couple things that just didn't allow me to set up my phone the way I wanted (paging is "wonky" to the way I have come to think of a launcher).

Kernel -- Well, Hefe Kernel pretty clearly added what I wanted; better battery life without significant impact in responsiveness. I'm glad others find what works for me helping them out too.

The Zip-n-Go ROMs don't, in general, excite me. I'm not a big theme guy and I can add/remove what I want pretty easily myself.
