Is there a build of MIUI that keeps the features?
Like,
Samsung Codecs (Divx, Xvid MKV) + Samsung video player
Samsung Browser that supports flash, Camera app that lets me use my external storage
I Really do like the MIUI Rom but they have removed everything I love about the Galaxy S over other Android phones

Miui didn't remove anything, they just didnt work it out yet Miui is bulid on cm base, and because samsung has a closed source code it isnt that easy to implement those things that you are missing.
As Player i use QQPlayer which is able to play all file formats. (flv, avi, mp4....)
And the location for the pictures? Come on.
Copy your pictures from time to time on your external SD and the problem is gone...
As browser you have to use Dolphin Mini which supports Flash and all other things like gestures, bookmark sync, fullscreen and a very good speed...
MiUi is great, smooth and beautifull.

I'm running vegan tab gingerbread edition and flash works great, can play video through browser even with the default flash app found through the market. But I was wondering if its possible to get quality over 480P?
Thanks
Flash performance
I don't know of any Android devices that can credibly play flash videos in a browser at resolutions higher than 480p; some not even that dense. This has more to do with the underlying .flv format and Adobe's code implementation of Flash than with the device. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 will just barely do 480p inside a browser window - maybe 10-15 FPS if the content has substantial movement. But it can play it's own 720p videos at full frame rate without issue.
Part of the problem is, Android is an operating system, not a platform in the way that iOS+iPad hardware is. This leaves every phone and tablet manufacturer free to choose from a variety of processor and video implementations. This is one of the things I like most about Android - choice, and freedom (as in speech). But like any freedom, this one comes at a price, and that is the need for software developers to support a wide range of hardware implementations. This is not much of a problem for Angry Birds, but it is a huge problem for Adobe because the decoding of flash video is computationally intensive.
If Flash was open source the community would solve the problem, in the same way that the Linux Kernel runs on many platforms today. But the codecs involved in Flash (VP6, Sorenson H.263, H.264) are all protected by patent, and that makes open source a non-viable solution.
Adobe has not done a great job implementing Flash video for Android, in part I think because they know the war is already lost. The number of iPads in the wild (pushing 20 million this year, I think) and Apple's refusal to run Flash means that alternate solutions like HTML5 and custom video apps (think Hulu Plus or Netflix) will be developed no matter what Adobe does. So why pour money down a black hole?
Hopefully this will get better, as I would like to be able to watch 720p video on my 720p device using Flash. But I just don't think it is going to happen.
HTC sensation and Samsung galaxy s2 working 1080p plays video youtube....
My Samsung captivate with apex 9.3 with talon kernel can play 1080p on YouTube with dolphin hd. But my g tablet can only 720 poorly. But with Mx player I can watch 720p mkv,Avi, and mp4 no problem.
Edit: With Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo 1.2 version 6, I was able to watch hd reviews on gametrailers. Even non overclocked using dolphin hd and latest flash from market.
I've been searching and reading for quite a while and haven't seen any mention any where of getting the stock Samsung video player that will work with ICS4.0 rom.
I tried installing the stock Samsung Froyo 2.2 apk on my Galaxy S Captivate that has a ICS 4 rom installed but the install failed and I'm left with no video player at all....
I want the stock Samsung player because it is head and shoulders better than ALL other video players. It will play back 720p .mkv files with out a single hitch or glitch, super smooth and perfect, nothing else even comes close to it in performance...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Won't work on ics. The framework is different. Try rock player
QQ player is pretty solid as well. It plays almost every format imaginable.
Did Samsung include a version for the Galaxy Nexus stock ICS? You could take a look there and extract it. See if that works.
Thanks for the suggestion of finding a stock ICS4 to check, I found one, but can't figure out how to extract the apk files from the system.img file ????
Here. I found a CWM zip for Galaxy Nexus and pulled the videos.apk. Hope this works for you.

Thank you very much for the file, the phone I was originally working on this on is gone to a new home, but I've got another one here I'm experimenting on too, just now researching the best path to follow to get it from i896 Rogers Canada stock 2.1update firmware to ICS with good video playback working....
thanks for the video.apk but it just show the available videos do not play them
If anyone else is following this at all, there IS a native video player in the current ICS I have loaded, but it isn't the same as the previous native players, its much worse. The video is smooth for HD MKV, but there is no sound, so obviously it uses hardware acceleration properly for video, but can't do hardware video acceleration and software audio decoding simultaneously like the excellent native player that was included with previous versions.
Is there any way to use the previous native player with ICS ? Can it be "converted" or anything like that ?
Thanks.

What is the best custom rom for galaxy tab p1000 beside milestone 5
I like MIUI-XJ-SGT and Overcome because almost everything that is important to me seems to work. But I think It depends on your criteria.
I've been trying every ROM I can get my hands on for the last two days, as well as multiple versions of each.
I've been looking for a rom that supports NTFS on the external SD. (MIUI and Overcome lack NTFS support)
For me the perfect ROM would have:
NTFS support on external SD
Video and Audio HW support functional in stock and installed video players.
Working YouTube app.
Working Flash support in browser.
So far I have yet to find one that satisfies all criteria.
Boca comes close, but lacks HW video in stock and most installed players except dice.
okay thanks......,..........is cynogenmod 9 still beta
I tried the latest build as of yesterday. When I try a ROM I am usually looking for the criteria I listed above, because I wish to use the tab as an effective media player.
So I found the following:
Suprisingly HW acceleration works in installed video players BUT
Hardware Audio did not.
NTFS access was very spotty, with a few apps able to see files but most unable.
Youtube force closed for me every time.
So, unless a lot has changed since yesterday, I would call that very much a beta.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up my findings with Milestone 5. Will try CM9 again this afternoon and correct this if I find something different.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 with CM9, will try CM9 again today and update if I find something different. So many ROMs so little time!
LOL hope I am not mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 - going to try CM9 again today and will update this if I find something different
Didn't try flash in browser, because at that time I had already dismissed the ROM for my needs. Will try again on a later build.
Tested slightly newer CM9 today. Here are the findings:
I have the following build of CM9 on my tab now:
cm-9-20120511-NIGHTLY-p1-signed
Installed: gapps-ics-20120429-signed
This is most recent version posted to the CM9 nightly builds as of May 13. This was installed on a Tmobile GSM tab.
1. Wifi - Working fine
2. Market: Working fine
3. Stock Video player DOES see files on NTFS formatted sd card.
4. In Settings under Storage, NTFS formatted card is seen and correct size is stated.
5. Hardware video acceleration works in stock video player. This is using a 720p MKV file.
6. Hardware sound does not work in stock video player - at least I haven't been able to find a way to get it to work.
7. Dice Player can't see files on external SD formatted to NTFS.
8. Dice Player from files on internal storage: has HW acceleration and functioning audio - works very well.
9.. Youtube videos play very well from stock browser.
10. Stand alone Youtube app works well.
11. Observation: Copying files to internal storage via USB is slower than in the GB ROMs such as BOCA.
12. MX Player Pro Plays HW video fine (720p MKV) but has no hardware audio. Can see files on external NTFS formatted SD. Will play with sound only if software sound deconding is used. Then it works reasonably well.
13. Flash video in stock browser works.
All in all a pretty decent ROM. Only big issue is the lack of HW audio in video players, and if you want to use NTFS on your external SD, support is poor.
thank ...man this info is the best

D.M.
Thanks for your great Info!
Have you tried the latest update-cm-9-20120525-NIGHTLY-p1-signed.zip?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has just bought one off eBay but has Froyo.
Knowing it's already rooted, is it worth moving straight to CM9 now? From your description you gave, it appears almost good to go?
Cheers

I've been using the nightly from the 23rd and now the 25th. Both fantastic roms. I would have no concerns recommending either as a daily usage rom.

For me everything works great, except the auto backlight level that stopped working since the 25th... same with 26th.
And I can't find a place to report this...

Works for me on 25th. Just had to select the option to allow lights to reduce under auto backlight settings.

Dude, there isnt such a thing like a best rom, its ****ing rude to compare the great jobs of our devs. All ics 4.0.4 roms r working better as the stock firmware by samsung and we got better support. Just try them by yourself but dont blame others by asking such stupid questions. I tried all ics 4.0.4 roms, ****ing great job, but somehow i prefer aokp. Maybe because of more features but i think switch soon. They all r freakin good. Chheers

Hi,
I'm a Galaxy Mini user and now are almost 3 years I am using this phone.
I have flashed and enjoyed so many roms in this forum and I have been very excited about the developement of first CM9, CM10 and now CM11.
I think CM9 is the highest upgrade that our mini can reach having good performances and sufficently new stuff and interface, however, for my needs, cm7.2 is still the most stable and efficient android version, with the best battery life and performances compared to all others.
I don't really feel the need to have a newer Android version and, yes, I'm happy with this low-end phone.
The only thing I really would like to understand and the only reason which keep me looking at CM9 is the native flac support.
I think this is the only lack of gingerbread, if this could be supported, I would definitely go for that.
Now, I know there are 3party player and also that Cm7.2 player plays flawlessy FLAC files, but the problem is not with local files, stored on my SD, but with DLNA support.
The only application i found that can stream FLAC files from my NAS is BubbleUpnp but is really too heavy and cpu-stressing, making phone quite unusable.
UpnPlay was perfect and very lightweight, it was exactly what i needed but under gingerbread is unable to stream FLAC files due to unsupported file type, while on CM9 can.
Mp3 files are streamed perfectly also in cm7.2, obviously, but it is quite impossible and also absurd to have the whole media library on my server both in FLAC and mp3 format when it could be possible just to keep the highest-quality format one.
It's not a matter of quality, I know my phone wouldn't take any kind of benefict in sound quality, good music can be listened only on an axcellent hi-fi system, but of practicality.
So, is there anyone that can tell me if there is a way to implement the native support of this files? Any mod/engine? It would be very important.
I know that some others phones have customs cm7 builds with this kind of feature built-in, so I think should be possible to add the support to versions of android under 3.x, as Gingerbread.
Thanks in advance and I would really appreciate you if can give me some informations.
I wonder if there are any possibilities or additional features with our new bluetooth Spen ?
At the moment we can use it for camera, browser, video player, music .... but it's only for stock samsung apps or gapps.
So is there any app making it usable with other apps ? Like play/pause in MxPlayer or VLC
Or maybe some other uses i didn't imagine. Maybe with root ?
Thanks for your answers
