N9005 Cyanogen 11 M12 Video Playback Problems - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I own a N9005, rooted, was running CM11 M11 until a week ago - everything was working fine.
Then I updated to M12 via CM update found inside Settings, and the problems began.
I can't play ANY video format on my phone anymore, no matter which player. MX, VLC, BS, Default Video Player... I manifests as a player crashing, for instance VLC pops up a huge crash report. Any ideas on what the cause may be, and how to fix it?
Also, for what it's worth, I also can't play The Walking Dead anymore, it crashes as well.

Noone?

If you're not going to acknowledge the words "preview" or "build 1" then that's your business. Its early stages, everyone has their issues but devs can't satisfy everyone at once. For me its spotify, you just have to be patient or flash back to a ROM that works until the builds of cm12 get going and bugs get fixed

Buddy, it's CM11 M12, not CM12. You got it wrong. Also, take it easy and don't be rude, I'm just asking for help to see why my video playback has stopped working all of a sudden. Even though I'm not getting much help here apparently.

I would suggest doing a clean install (wipe /cache,/system,/data)

Netflix

Watch out when using the Netflix update if rooted runing gb...keep the old version (or make a backup) I believe its 1.2.0. They seemed to have blocked access to gb roms on our Inc. Just fyi. Made the mistake already luckily I had a backup.
Running cm nightly #90
Update:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/26/netflix-removes-device-check-should-work-on-all-android-devices/
Seems Netflix is trying to be nice. Wonder why its hit or miss?
I'm using CM 7.03 and just upgraded Netflix (1.2.1) and have no problems using it, movies still play, everything works as normal.
Well ..me and so far plenty other on droidlife are reporting unusable after update.
I'm using nightly 90

And then this happens.hmmmm wonder what's going on.
I'm using the last stable cm7 and it still works.
Nightly 88 (I think), updated version working.

I know Netflix doesn't work with the new GingerSense ROMs, and the Droidlife article talks mostly about it not working on the Thunderbolt which I believe has the new Sense 3.0 on it, maybe thats the problem not Gingerbread.
Everything running fine for me on CM nightly also. The update actually relaxes the device check it didn't clamp it down further. Maybe uninstalling and clear data before reinstalling, permission fix if rooted, etc, might fix it for those with issues.
EDIT: Well, unless you're running a gingersense that is... I tried again last night with no luck still.
I'm running liberation v2 and I can load nexflix and view my recently watched and instant queue but wont load videos. It keeps on force closing. Its definitely not a sense 3.0 problem.

Yup, it seems every version of Gingersense is getting the same results for some reason. I was hoping the new update would change that but no luck.
Can't even install it from the market.. says insufficient storage
I was having issues with the new update where it seamed like the app wasn't loading correctly or even at all at point, aka just showing a blank white screen, but it turns out that it just took an incredibly long time to load.
DINC with CM7
Thanks first to XDA developers and alot of hardworking people.
I have downloaded from this site about a dozen different versions of the netflix app, including several versions posted after 6/21. None of them seem to work on the incredible 2 I own. I can get the app to install, I can log in to Netflix, I can select a movie, I can start it, but, all I get is audio and a white screen for video.
I have scanned through several forums and I see this is not an unusual problem, and the only possible solutions I have been able to understand seem to involve cracking the phones operating system and going in and messing around with various files and user supplied patches. Reluctant to go into the deep water without a lifeguard and phone still under warranty. Does anyone have a link to an APK that has been tested on the incredible 2 and found to be satisfactory? Thanks for all replies. If I found something will post here.
I'm running CM7.0.3 stable and Netflix 1.2.2 and it's working fine.

YouTube fix

I post it here because I think this is a general problem on all roms
They changed something in YouTube, it crashes now. All people on stock/custom roms are complaining about it , it started this morning so it is posible that it works later on today. In the mean time if you can not wait ..........
This is not a real fix , everybody is getting chrashes on the A500 and G100W , I even tested it with my original rom and older versions like 3.01 and 3.1 ,3.2 and official 3.2.1 roms , YouTube keeps chrashin when you try to play video.
Only fix I got now is this :YouTube fix
It is Phone youtube but it will work ! Just put the quality at HD and you are good to go , just the layout is different and more for phones. This is the best I can do .
Or wait till google or youtube got it solved.
For people who don't have the problem please give info on what rom and kernel you are using !!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is FC when playing a video , youtube app loads just fine but the moment you want to play video it crashes.
Latest news
Feb 2012 update - google has changed the youtube api so currently users using android 2.3 and up aren't getting a response from the server
I've got stock Moscow's Alexandra II Rev4 without any changes and youtube works just fine

Not just starting the app but watching movie ?
I had this problem on my HTC EVO View 4G (honeycomb) and my a500 last night. Force closes on EVERY video. Works flawlessly on my phone though.
Just confirming.
Keep up the good work Civato!
PS. The Evo View 4G isn't rooted.

Netflix Issue (related to kernels?)

Sorry, I wanted to post this in one of the kernel threads, but I'm not allowed yet, and anyway, I wouldn't know which one since a few different kernels are mentioned.
I recently updated from Paranoid Android -- erm, whatever the last 4.2 version was -- to Paranoid Android 3.99 with M-kernel a61. Netflix started to buffer and lag like crazy, then eventually froze the tablet and I'd have to restart.
I found the mr2 M-kernel a few days later, and thought maybe that would fix it, but it didn't. I decided it was the ROM, so I switched to CM10.2 with M-kernel, and still, Netflix didn't work right. I love my Paranoid Android, so I thought, if switching ROMs doesn't work, then forget it. I switched back to Paranoid Android.
This time I tried Lean Kernel, and finally, Netflix works. I tried Franco and Netflix is awful again. So, it's not just M-kernel.
I know the easy solution would be to use Lean Kernel, but I guess I just want to understand what's going on.

Doesn't work right on stock 4.3 either. At least for me! So for my 4 year old to be happy again....back on 4.2.2 was my solution. Not sure why updated anyway. No 4.2.2 lag for me. And 4.3 is a minor update which included nothing I would care about.
Just want my tab stable......my phone is for messing with.

It may work for some or have fixes....but flash gave me issues, tab had some lag too....my tab just needs to be stable....its the kids and the wife's. Sticking with 4.2.2 for now.
Sent from my cellular telephone
I occasionally watch netflix on my 7, complete stock 4.3, not even rooted as I don't need it. No issues whatsoever, even on the super slow WiFi at my workplace once it loads I never have to wait for any buffering. I can't say anything regarding flash though, as I don't do anything on the 7 requiring flash.
And stable is definitely a must, I would say with my current 20 day uptime it's perfectly stable for me.

Well, I flashed 3.99 on its own, and Netflix works just fine. I wonder why it doesn't like me when I install custom kernels.
At least it works.

Kindle Fire Jem Roms

I still got
cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jem
and
cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-jem
I'm done with this device, but seems that a lot of people having trouble finding a good Android rom for it. I've tested bunch of other roms such as Candy 5 and Lineage 14 but none of them runs smoothly as CM11.
CM12 is a bit laggy compared to CM11 but both are pretty usable. If you don't mind older 4.4 then use CM11. If you don't mind a bit lag use CM12.
My dad, however (the device is my dad's) manage to get it into bootloop multiple times with CM11, I don't know how; probably because bunch of "booster" craps he installed there, while on my test with daily regular use for about two weeks or so, seems to be VERY stable.
The device itself however, is waaay too old and outdated for more hardware intesive like 3D games and such. I cannot even get the dynamic background on Retroarch, so I don't bother trying it at all. For other casual stuffs, just some very rare occasional hangs while watching youtube, but that's all as far as I can remember. Chrome works well too. 1080p movies can play well with MXPlayer pro.
But in the end rather than get naggings by my dad about the bootloops, I decided to restore it to stock and let him get the apps from amazon appstore. Just so you know that not everybody get the same smooth experience as I do. As my experience goes, CM11 is the best rom for this device. But not to my dad.
Both roms (CM11 and 12) are intended for 8.9" kindle fire JEM (NOT tate)
With that in mind, I have no more use for the roms. So rather than being left to dust and forgotten, any idea where I can upload these roms so it stays online forever? They're about 200 megs each, so about 500 megs.
If there's no good free space/file transfer service, I'm uploading these to Degoo, since I don't use it at all despite its generous space, and probably will forgot about it in the future and it'll stay there forever.

Okay then I'm deleting these roms. It's just that most people on the CM for Jem thread are having difficulties finding the download links.
If it is available here, there's no use of me keeping them. I've converted my dad's Kindle Jem back to stock anyway.

I might try it once again see if it's more stable than CM.

unofficial Lineage OS 17.1 ?

I haven't applied for reactivating my XDA state
You can try this version, but make sure you perform the migration script (official -> unofficial) if needed.
I was too lazy to create a new topic for this version. I have a YTX703L and it runs as good LOS16.1 runs. So I found no show stoppers.
Works pretty well
works pretty well...but ive flicker and glitches on the display...its getting less in the last build...will you go on and work on the newest Android version ?
thanks for your great work

Hi
I've been watching these forums like a hawk trying to get my tablet to run smooth considering the bad software from Lenovo.
Would you say it's working well with this version?
If the battery life is good and the bugs aren't too many , I wanna try it!
My now Lineage 16 is working alright, the tablet is fast but the battery is not as good as stock sadly.
Is is good enough for a daily driver?

Have been experiencing some lock up after long idle time. I mostly use my Yoga to watch movies and use MX Player. A few times would find launcher unresposive when come back from work and the only recovery is to power cycle. I do get restart option on long press of power button, but when choose to restart tablet does not come back on its own.
As for the battery, I've decided to attempt rebuilding it using new individual cells. Will post my results if I succeed or not.
Once/if battery issue is resolved, I probably will roll back to Lineage 16 and wait for a stable 17 release.
Just installed, working well
Thanks very much to the dev for continuing to release builds for this device. Just upgraded from OS16 today. Install worked really well with no issues. So far it's running nicely. New gesture navigation system is working in Trebuchet launcher, so now my phone and tablet are the same, it was annoying before having different interfaces on different devices. Excellent work, thanks a lot!
The last update was 10.08.2020, do we see a new one?
It looks like as we get no more updates, so I will go back to 16.
Sorry
surprise, surprise. Just after I went back to 16 a new 17.1 update arrived, dated 17.09.2020. I did a dirty install and it worked out.
Thanks
However, I am still wondering if it is worth switching from 16 to 17
If you are happy with Android 9 , keep it. If you are willing to have Android 10 than go for it. What new, I have no idea.
