[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Confirmed in Jake's Q&A channel. Build 03/22 cannot record video in SMS at all. The moment you hit record, size limit exceeded, no recording takes place. Video recorder works just fine anyways. I did the test with GoSMS. Other fellow and Jake tried w/something different for SMS, same thing. I think if you record manually a small file, maybe low quality to keep it under 300K, you could attach it, did not try. GoSMS allows recording Normal and High quality, both at 10 Mb for BigSMS. I did try it a Normal quality and that recorded for like ten seconds or so, not bad. Maybe the low Q recording codec is messed up. Has to be. Any kind of video recording to be under 300K would need super compression. Windows wmv can hit marks like that but is a proprietary codec. I wonder what they use for SMS recording? Whatever codec they are using is either shot or the device is NOT picking the correct compression codec for recording. Codec cannot be bad all of a sudden. The rom is not picking the low Q codec for SMS video.

Devs? Anybody out there listening? Can somebody fix the low Q SMS video compression codec on 03/22 please? Only happens in SMS applications, any app that records SMS will show the issue. I think the new rom is NOT choosing to use the low Q codec and is stuck on one of the higher settings.

Thank you for your attention! :eek:

Is it just me or did the green notification light not working anymore when dark screen with new 03/22 build? Apps that change the color and flash rate of LED do work, light comes on w/correct color for things like SMS. But if user does not miss any event, the LED should pulse green every 20-30 seconds.

I checked Settings/Display and Lights/Pulse notification light and it is checked and set for stock green. Missed call Magenta, and Voicemail for me is cyan w/long, fast pulse. Huh. Let me try to make a call, miss it, and see if the notification LED lights up for that.

Alright, just made a call, ignored it, screen blanked out. Let's see if I get my Magenta light. Yes, I do. So it is only the "all OK" green LED pulse that is not working? Cleared call, screen went blank, waiting for green light flash.

Not a dammed thing. So now, from across the room, I have no idea if my phone is on, off, dead, or locked up anymore. I must get up, go over, hit power just to see? Lemmie try to change the default green LED from NORMAL to FAST and a new color. Maybe that will do something. Try purple, long, and fast speed. Only when in the Default LED adjustment screen where you change color and pulse timing, does the LED flash w/screen on. Exit that adjustment screen and it will never flash again, screen lit or dark, until an event triggers it as a notification. So, default Notification LED is now dead. This is insane!

This rom is good but has little tiny "shell in your egg salad sandwich" annoyances with it. Nothing major wrong, but no more video in SMS and now no more green notification LED to show the phone is on and tell you that you did not miss anything. I want that light to pulse. Having to get out of bed to reach for the phone, just to make sure it is really on or not is a PITA we do not need and never had before. Ugh, I SO wanted this build to work, have no idea about HDMI but if I have to give up the other small issues for HDMI that I never use, forget it. Give back my green light and small video sms messages!

Can somebody confirm this please?

I am going to try a wipe caches and permissions? Oh, my power menu color icons are not there. Might need another reboot for that Advanced Power Menu to activate the colors. I have seen this before, reboot? Trying.

Nothing. Xposed Framework modules not working either. Oh man, this rom has to go!

UPDATE: Jake says his xposed modules work. I have some for custom colors and icons. They did not work at all. Reverting to backup.
