Mostly I install a rom, I go pristine. If not and problems occures then I go pristine.

In this case I tried third times to reinstall the rom, but everytime same prob.

With apex or nova it works, I have tried(and I use apex at moment).

But I don't want to have third party launcher.

Thanks for answer.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Use Nova Launcher and make it system app. Delete trebuchet if you want and you will not have those annoyances. :p

Personally, I adore Nova. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Maybe, you can tell me short how to make nova a system app(copy and paste in system folder?).

Deleting trebuchet with titanium?

And what is with freezes during installaton of apps? Is there an explanation for it?

Thanks

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
As for freezing apps In have no other idea than making a clear install of a ROM.

To make Nova system - use File Explorer like X-Plore. Provide root access and r/w privileges. Then paste the Nova.apk file to /system/app with proper permissions like other files in that folder (644). Then reboot.

After reboot, if you've done everything correct you will be prompted to choose launcher. Choose Nova to use always. Then you can navigate to /system/app with X-plore again and just delete Trebuchet.apk if you want. I advise adding .bak extension to the file name in order to back it up for further usage. Just in case smth goes wrong with Nova. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cycloneblast:
I have found some bugs:

1) No matter through Trebuchet's home screen or through Gallery, the high quality wallpapers I set aren't as high quality as it should be. They look crappy and blurry. But, the wallpapers from CM Wallpapers and stock Wallpapers are just as nice as it is.

2) I can't change the shortcut sliders if I change my lock screen security to Slide. It always changes back to the 5 sliders it originally was.

3) Sometimes the clock and battery status icon on the status bar looks buggy. The previous number and the next number will sometimes stack together. Eg: The next battery percentage, 22, will stack with the previous, 21. Thus, the numbers will keep stacking together until I touch the status bar.

Please, give me the link of this transparent notification bar mod.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
carbon rom build 2 transparent notification bar mod.:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Exactly, this feature is included in Carbon ROM. And many more... :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zablay:
i'm not sure, if this happened to everyone or just me:

- installed seeder apk, but cannot be turned on, so i uninstalled it.

- then i try flashing crossbreeder, but the entropy won't stuck at 4096, just hovering around 500, and using terminal, it cannot be turned on too.

i'm using CM10.2 with hurtsky kernel
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
FYI, all entropy generators like seeder or crossbreeder won't work or give even worse results together with custom kernel with frandom script enabled. Hurtsky kernel has it. So that's the result. You choice: either stock kernel+entropy generator or custom kernel with frandom script like hurtsky. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
That's awesome! :D

I'll try Carbon ROM when I have enough free time..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] action1337:
Is that kernel useable with Carbon as well? And more important is it faster/better?:p

1-My video format on my last message.

It's up to you to evaluate.

The following screen shots CM10.1 beta1.Clean and Without additional.

There is no video player.Only in the original gallery video player.And it all runs smoothly movies.

2-These films 4.3.1 problem.Galeri locks.

Your information only.The choice is yours.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hello, Ali

So...all your movies are mp4 files, right?

Also, the same movies play ok on CM10.1, right?

Could you please, tell me what is the size of the files that can't be played? I suppose they are all HD (so bigger size).

I'm trying to figure out if this has anything to do with their format (although I don't think it has), their size, or the codec used to play them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Dude, I already gave a lot of info about this problem. The original gallery video player as you call it is the Google Video Player that is used by the Gallery to play videos.

The Google Video Player comes "as is" from Google. Not from the Developer. So when Google decided to drop support for some codec´s and fileformats do not make the Dev responsible for this. You can still use 3th party Apps and set them as the default videoplayer to be used by the Gallery. These Players support all kind of codec and fileformats.

CyanogenMod was always and is still the pure Android code provided by Google without all the bloodware and the devs will not rewrite the code just for you. If you want to still have native support for DIvX, AVis, Gifs and Flash you either will have to use a third party App or install Samsungs Stock GB ROM, where this all is still supported.

Radu, I´m having the same in CM9 and CM10 when downloading some mp4 from Youtube. These videos are displayed black in the gallery and can´t be played. This is because these files for example do not use the default bitrate, are using a different codec for the audio or a modified in any different way which doesn´t fit the default settings google is supporting in Android anymore.

This is because all these videos were created on Windows with Tools where you can modify a lot of settings in the codecs like for example using Variable Bit Rate rather than a Constant Bit Rate.

You could of course try to port the older Google Video Player used in Cm10.1 to this Rom, but this would probably end up in even more troubles. Beside this, when Google decided to drop support for some codecs or modifications of codecs we all will end up with the same problem by buying a new Device which has also JB 4.3.1 on it.

The solution is still very simple. Use a different Videoplayer as your default videoplayer to be able playing no more supported codecs and file formats.

-560 MB.

But the file size is not important.

The following screenshot 23.5 mb file size.

Stevie wonder-İs'nt she lovely Youtube video mp4
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Honeyx, let's wait for his answer please. :)

Usually, if a file format is not supported, it's not displayed in the Gallery either. This might not be a player issue. But to make sure it's not a player issue and in order to start looking for a possible cause (kernel maybe), I need all the info I can get.

Could you please, update the OP with the installation procedure, please? You can copy-paste it from the development thread. It wouldn't hurt having it here as well. What do you think? :)

Also, could you please, copy-paste the bug report format (the html code) from the CM10.1 discussions thread?

Thanks a lot for your support guys. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dude honeyx

We are in trouble or not?

It trying to understand.

Immediately excitement.

No blame.Such a claim does not already exist.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
It might be important for the buffer. :P

That's why I'm asking for this information. If I didn't think it might be relevant, I wouldn't have asked for it.

Can anyone else try such a big file (over 1GB) or maybe more like this (if your storage allows it) or maybe mixed files with different sizes and see if this issue occurs?

Thank you. :)

I agree and I perfectly understand what you're saying. Also, thanks for the info.

But, I would like to be 100% sure this is a third party issue that's not up to me to fix. Or, if it is, I would like to gather as much information about it as possible so that it can help me fix it eventually.

This is why I would like someone else to try to reproduce this with similar file sizes but of course, different content. So that there will be no way that this has something to do with the files themselves. We'll remove all the possible causes, don't worry. Just be patient and work with me here. :) If there is a bug, we'll catch it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No, we are not in trouble and I know it´s hard for you to understand everything in englisch ;)

All I try is to explain you some of your videos must use untypical settings in the codecs or codecs Google dropped the support for in this new JB 4.3.1 version. it´s not just the codecs but there are a lot of changes Google made. And even many Apps need to be updated to work correctly with this shiny new JB version.

I don´t worry and am patient. ;) Best would be to get a sample and compare in a good editor with a video that is working. So when ali is having two small videos (one working and one not working) he could upload them and send you the link.

Unfortunally I can´t test them myself atm because I have to install the ROM once more ;) It´s not compatible with 2.4.4.0 TWRP recovery but I hope it will work with the newest one.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, sure. We'll be here. If you want, there is a new and unofficial Gapps version posted on the development thread.

I'm having serious problems editing that OP from the PC (tried two different browsers with the same result, so I'm pretty sure it's not from the browser) so I'm gonna post here the changelog, in case you're interested:

1. Removed Google Plus and Google Ears (it's not compatible with Ancora anyways)

2. Added Google Maps and Google Hangouts (latest versions)

3. Upgraded Google Search to the latest version.

Once the problem is fixed, I'll post it on the development thread as well.

I'm telling you this because you're gonna reinstall the ROM anyways. Otherwise, people, always make pristine installations before trying new Gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ok thanks, will download it as I anyway am not using Google+ ;)

About the editing issue. I´m having this too since yesterday. Can´t save the changes when in simple mode. Workaround: go advanced. Then you can save the changes. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
My problem is not saving the changes... Is a bit of a cache problem. It's showing me the changes from yesterday, even though, editing the page from the phone for example, works ok and the changes are visible on the page.

Editing the page from the PC, using the new template, shows the changes from yesterday, even though the page doesn't look like that anymore.

I can't go Advanced cause I'm using the new template, and that doesn't have any Advanced button.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ali, could you please provide us some links to the videos or upload some small samples? One that is working and one that is not working please.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dear Honeyx

Videos work is not important.

These videos lock down the gallery.

Put video to the phone.

Gallery plays to open.

(Gallery lock.Phone random reboot.I think this is the biggest problem.)

here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r92A7ndnZk

Format is not supported.Video unreadable.

Why gallery lock.?Why random reboot.?

Other film from somewhere else.

The Link I don't know.Hundreds of movies on the computer.

I was able to convey.?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ali, I was able to reproduce your problem. Downloaded the video above and pushed it to my SDCard and as soon I opened the Gallery the entire device froze. Now I need to know which codecs are used in this file and which settings are used for the codec.

Another bad news is the latest TWRP recovery also is causing the bootloop issue. So atm there is only CWM recovery that works.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dude honeyx

Our goal is to reach the best.The first we know it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Is the size important for this case? How big was this file?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Agree my friend :)

I don´t think the size matters. It has 53MB in size. I followed the Link Ali gave us and downloaded it with DownloadHelper by selecting the very first file on top.

Now I just need now a good editor to see more details about the used codecs, compression and so on.

Edit:

Ok here are some details.

Codec is MainConcept AVC and for Audio AAC.

Video: AVC, 25FPS progressive 960x720x32

Audio: AAC, 44,100 Hz stereo
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, so I guess a similar sized file might not have this problem, right?

I downloaded the file as well (in 720p) using AVI (mpeg4 + mp3 codecs). Not sure if you guys used the same. The file is 52.2MB in size.

Now, I don't know exactly why this says it's AVI if the file extension is mp4 and also if the codec used is not ffdshow (for as far as I know, this is the codec for avi files). Maybe the player is confused weather if this is an avi or a mp4. so it displays it cause the extension is .mp4, but can't play it since it doesn't know how to play avi. But I might be very well wrong.

Also, did you try renaming the file without all those characters? Maybe we're looking at the wrong side of the problem. Maybe the problem is not the video. Maybe the problem is the characters the phone tries to display.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Hm this is strange. Mine has the mp4 extension and is also shown in the Explorer as being a mp4. I even can´t open it with abcAVI TAG Editor because it´s not an AVI file. Opened it with Vegas Video to get the details. Did the same with my recorded videos on my SGW and there it uses the H.264 codec. These are also played well so I more belive it´s the AVC codec rather than the filename. There are no strange characters and the "_" are harmless.

About the file size, not this should be no problem at all. I´m having bigger files on my SD but as far I can see they all are using H.264.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
No, I meant when you use Convert Helper along with Download Helper and you select the codec for the resulting file, it asks you what should it be. Please, see the attached screenshot. I used the AVI (mpeg4 + mp3) option.

Yeah, I know the recorded videos are encoded with H.264.

About the characters in the file name, I meant the stars and @ and stuff like that. Not the underscore.

Anyway, in case you didn't select that option of the converter, I uploaded the converted video here. So if you think it might be relevant for the test, please, feel free to download it and try it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Radu, converted files are no problem. Avi files are anyway not displayed in the Gallery and so also can´t cause any hangs or reboots. For Avi´s a 3rd party player is anyway a must to get them played and those players are able to handle the codecs in the avi container. Download the file as a raw mp4 without converting.

When you download the raw file there will also be no stars or @´s. These are created by the converter you used.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Sorry, I don't get it...

The name of the video title from Youtube is: Stevie Wonder ★ Isn't She Lovely & Sunshine Of My Life @ live 720. So the star and the @ is not added by the converter. It's in the file name.

The raw file for a flash video is flv if you don't convert it...but I think I understand what you meant by "raw mp4". You just select the resolution, without going into "convert & download" option, right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
There are always a few raw files with different file formats and codecs to be able to display the video on different devices with different codecs installed. There is even always a version for older mobile devices which are not able to handle the new hd codecs at all. But in this case the mp4 file with the AVC codec is important because this one is causing this issue and is even loaded when launching this video on youtube via the SGW.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dear arsradu.

You've convert video continues the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Wait a minute...launching the video in Youtube from Wonder? The browser or the app? Isn't that a flash video, meaning a flv file? What does it have to do with the AVC codec? Is the AVC codec used for flv files? Sorry, this is all pretty new to me. So I'm trying to understand exactly what the problem is.

So you're saying that the converted mp4 and the youtube played flv file have one thing in common? The AVC codec? And that's the one causing the problems?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
I can only add that recently I watched a video on YouTube via stock browser without any problem. I was really baffled as in previous CM we couldn't normally do that. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No no. Youtube belongs to Google as you know. Earlier they prefered Flash which itself is a wrapper for flv files. Now they prefer HTML5 with its mp4 files. But to make it playable on all the kind of devices they still support flash and it´s flv files.

In JB Google skipped the support for flash so only HTML5 is used and as a result of this only mp4 files are played. In ICS this depends to the version of the Youtube and the browser app. There both formats can be played but in JB only mp4 files wrapped into HTML5 code can be played no matter it is a browser or the youtube app.

On a PC you can also use both. Either Flash or HTML5. So even if your browser doesn´t support HTML5 but you have a flash player installed, you will be able to watch videos on youtube where it will load flv files. But if you are using a browser with full HTML5 support you theoretically do not need a flash player because then it will load the mp4 file by running the HTML5 code insteed.

So since this is a JB ROM it only is able to use the HTML5 code and so it automatically is loading the mp4 file. No matter it´s a browser or googles youtube app.

Just flv and mp4 do not use the same codecs so can´t be compared with each other. Googles decision to move to HTML5 is because of the better HD codecs used in the mp4 files like for example h.264 and the AVC codec in question.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, so, the files encoded with AVC are causing this problem but the ones encoded with h.264 are not?

Can you try a similar file, downloaded form somewhere (not a recorded video), but encoded with h.264? Maybe a similar size too so that we can exclude this possibility once and for all?

Also, can you try a different AVC encoded file? Same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Yes, it´s the files with the AVC codec. The ones with the h.264 are not causing any issues. I already tried an other file with the H.264 codec I also downloaded from youtube and there was no problem so am pretty sure it´s because of the AVC codec but if you want I can search for another one with this codec. Just I think the result will be exactly the same.

Let me explain a bit why. This is a bit off topic now but I´m having here a HTPC and a portable HDD full HD media player. This media player is based on Linux and has a small bug. It´s crashing when I´m trying to play DivX and some Xvid coded videos. But I found a workaround for this. I simply change the codec name with abcAVI TAG Editor into OpenDivX and make them this way compatible with this player. So the software is indeed able to decode DivX and Xvid videos but is crashing for some reason when reading these both Tags in the videofile.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Hi Arsradu and Honeyx

The following link 4.3.1 rom running mp4 movie.

Maybe comparison.Help all my best wishes.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Honeyx, is the video that Ali posted above working? Does it use AVC codec or h.264? Can you please confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
This video is working but it´s not tagged as AVC nor as H.264 but as MPEG-4. A secound AVC tagged video did the same for me, so as far I can tell for now this is only related to AVC. Just to bad I can´t change the tags for this type of videofiles like in Avi´s because then we could find out it´s just the tag or the codec itself.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
What are you using to check that information? Windows provided details are far from bringing any valuable information about this.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
As I mentioned I´m using Sony Vegas Pro editoring software for this. I used this in the past more often for professional editing my home videos and now it turned out to be also useful to check the codecs :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
[ROM][JB][4.3.1][JLS36I] CyanogenMod 10.2 Alpha (Build 1)

Rom-[ROM][JB][4.3.1][JLS36I] CyanogenMod 10.2 Alpha (Build 1)

No problem.mp4 video
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Thank you Ali, now we are a bit closer to to find out what is really the problem :)

OK, this is now AVC and it´s working! But it´s neither 720p nor 1080i/p. It has only 320x240 and 29fps. So it looks like it´s not even the codec itself but the format (resolution).

As for now I come to the conclusion the build in player can handle the AVC codec but has a problem with higher resulutions like HD ready (720p) and maybe FullHD (1080i/p) though I didn´t find a full HD video with this codec till now, so can´t tell for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dear honeyx

I don't understand the software.

The phone does not support many formats.

But you do not have the gallery in the lock.

The main problem why gallery lock?And restart.

Phone Dvdrip.avi put it in video format.

This file cannot be played.

There is no gallery lock.There is no restart.

Everything is normal.Delete video.OK.

I do not know helped.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Or maybe both...

Ok, so to sum up:

mp4 encoded with AVC and in low res have no problem making the Gallery freeze.

mp4 encoded with mpeg4 in HD also no problem.

But HD mp4 with AVC make the Gallery freeze?

How about a low resolution mp4 with AVC and higher bitrate (similar or identical to the one of the HD video)?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Honeyx.

My yesterday's special message did you get?Send private message.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Which software do you mean now?

The phone supports only the formats that are supported by Google too. As I already posted Android is made by Google and they already dropped the support for AVI´s, DivX, Flash and animated Gifs too.

So your DVD ripped AVI file can´t be played. Neither with this ROM nor with any other JB ROM. For this you need a 3th party player.

About gallery freezing. Yes, I´m getting this too when trying to play a mp4 file with AVC codec and 720p resolution.

But here we just have a problem with with AVC coded videos at higher resulutions.

Yes you got it. H.264, AVC and MPEG-4 are no problem in low res. And H.264, MPEG-4 also no problem in HI Res. Only AVC has a problem in HI Res.

Don´t know how about higher bitrates as I don´t get any information about the bitrate nor can change it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
A lot of movies I've tried.

1- MPEG-4 mp4 WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

2- AVC-mp4 Gallery froze the power button a few times and restart.

AVC mp4 the low resolution although gallery freezes.
