[Q] Nexus 7 ROM that supports MX Player's HW+ - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all!
I'm looking for the fastest, cleanest, and lightest Nexus 7 ROM without the extra mods that most custom ROMs have. Also, it must support MX Player's HW+ mode because I mainly use it to view .MKV and 10-bit videos.
There are so many custom ROMs for Nexus 7 but I don't know which one suits my needs.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks! :laugh:

I have the perfect solution for you.
Ready?
Start flashing ROMs and find out what suits your needs.

Read the rules, then read the ROM threads, then try a few for yourself.

Cause of the rom your using
Did you try to reinstall flash player. Check in browser settings of plugins. If they are set to other settings than "on". Change them and keep us updated
In most android-4-roms it doesn't work because of the missing / still not working hardware acceleration.
Thanks all, for the solution

I really like MIUI's music player. But Google Music is a good option also.
Stock ics music player is my favourite!

Rockbox in my opinion, have been using it on my iaudio and apple MP3 for years and now on android. It supports nearly all audio formats, provides lots of features. One drawback for the android port is that the default UI is not very good looking, but it is highly customizable and you can change it to anything if you are willing to invest some time.
I have try the mortplayer,that's so easy to use,and friendly with the folder scan,before i use that,i really love google music player,but i confused after i download some music,and i try to move to other folder,the google music can play the track,does anyone have got this problem

Running hulu website on Nexus 7

So I found a thread over on the Acer a100 thread about running the hulu website on the browser and was wondering if this would be compatible on our devices since it's on jellybean. Here is the link

Not unless you can hack the flash apk and make it look like the desktop version of flash. Hulu looks at the flash player itself to know if its desktop, mobile, etc.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The thread referenced is an app that changes the flash mobile files over to fake being flash desktop files, seeing how flash is unsupported in JellyBean, you may have a bit of trouble getting this to work.
OP, even if the that works, it's way to much effort for sub-par movies on hulu.

HTML sites for movies or tv

Hi everyone I've upgraded from a Motorola Xoom running honeycomb to a new nexus 7. I use it a lot for media and one of the sites I used to use was fastpasstv which needed flash. I know we don't have flash on jellybean and I have also tried the work around in other topics these work of sorts but doesn't have sound for the flash movies.
So was wondering are there any HTML sites which we can use on the nexus 7 to stream movies n TV.
Thanks

Install Aurora, or Boat, or Xscope, the 3 browsers that play flash well.
You can still side load flash and it works fine that way.

Hi rick. I have side loaded flash, but but can't get it to pay sound on fastpasstv.ms

Xmbc

Who uses this app with there n4? What kind of set up do you use? Do you stream it to your tv? Reason I'm asking is I have been using it for awhile and I most recently started streaming it to my tv. It works well most of the time but I'm trying to figure out the optimal set up.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I steam from my sever using nfs. Have htpcs hooked up to other TV sets so I only really use it on my n4 if I'm in the small room or in the garden.
I currently run the experimental Gotham alpha with the libstagefright as it's the only build that comfortably handles all my 1080 content and anime with ass subs

How do the gotham builds handle HD content? Is it better than the final frodo build? I'm using a xaf custom build which uses mx player as the default video player instead of the xmbc player. With mx I can download a custom codec and I have options to use a HW decoder or SW one. This set up works better than the non custom xmbc app.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
They are similar except the libstagefright build enables hardware acceleration on the built in xbmc player. I only prefer this method over the mx player because the last time I tried a xaf build it would not handle .ass subtitles
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok. I will try it out. The frodo build did not have hW exceleration? Also the issue I'm having is it seems like any time I stream a video it starts off fine. Then after so long it becomes choppy. The phone gets really hot and stops charging. I'm assuming so the battery can cool down. I'm wondering if the choppiness is because of wifi issues, or thermal throttling occurring. I want to say it's the latter since the wifi connectio is really solid

I tried the gotham build. It would exit out of the app every time.

One other thing is I'm using cm 10.1. Does rom have anything to do with xmbc compatibility?

i just updated to alpha4 and this build is apparently not working properly on the N4, network shares just crash the app.
so i reverted back to alpha2 which works nicely for everything i use it for
EDIT: Ignore that, i was been a dumbass and had my WIFI off.
just tested and working fine here

im guessing you grabbed a normal build as they do stutter on HD and get very hot very quick (because they are all software decoding)

Well the one I get to work the best is the xaf build. And the SW decoding option seems to work the best using mx player. I did get the gotham alpha 2 to work. Ill give it a test run and see how it goes

I just noticed that all the webserver setup is gone in Gotham. On both windows and android builds.
Thankfully you can still set it up through the XML files

Gave the alpha build a test run. Watched a couple of episodes of Game of thrones. Each episode I watched froze at some point and ended the stream. Playback was good. Progress is being made. So I decided to reinstall the xaf build and used mxplayer again. Used only hw excelleration . Phone ran much cooler. Had some stuttering but nothing crazy. Might of been wifi related.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hmm very weird. The only times it has ever binned out of the app for me is when I'm scanning a new source into the library.
Everything else has been flawless.
In fact I'm watching a 720p game of thrones right now and it's flawless for me.
But I suppose if you have a different setup or method of streaming you could be running into bugs that I am not
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
So after using it for almost a week I'm more frustrated than anything. I constantly get booted out of movies or shows. When I fast forward to where I left off they never start. Just stay frozen. Im going between the frodo xaf build and the gotham build as one works better for some streams and vice versa. I use icefilms for most thing s. Is that my issue? It just seems there are so many possibilities and options and I can't pinpoint the issue. Also I'm not tech savvy enough to look into the code side of things. Any suggestions?

Also I'm streaming via miracast to my tv. Could this be an issue
