Don't understand what do you mean. Can you take screenshot, when it happens?

I think I have just found a video where those symptoms are visible ( green line at the top, colors are wrong).
I wouldn't call it banding though. It's more like the color channels are shifted relative to each other ( it's not the colors what are wrong, but their 'position' ).

I have uploaded a screenshot to http://db.tt/QXskFmku
The video can be found at https://www.youtube....be_gdata_player

I may provide a logcat later in case you aren't able to reproduce it.

Its known issue, and I'll wrote about it on XDA thread. I don't know what aligning used in Qualcomm's proprietaries. I aligned width and height to 16, as writen in commented line in OMXCodec, and it fixes most videos with normal aspect ratios.
176x144, 320x240, 352x288, 480x272, 640x360, 640x480 and 800x480 plays ok. Other non-standart rosolutions can play with green line.

The truth is, that there is colour banding no matter what video you play (even the best quality video) and now i notice that other people found this too. This problem has been there before even to have OMX working. I hope it will be fixed.

btw. The rom is working good.

I have some problems with this rom:
1. sometimes when I want to write sms - there is no cursor to type text
2. sometimes top bar doesn't shows widgets with wi-fi, bt etc. just name of operator.
3. sometimes in games like ab rio when destroing boxes smoke doesn't shows, just white - no textures.

Firstly, I'd like to thank KonstaT for the great work on this ROM, and Gangster for YouTube HQ fix - a great step in making decent Android 4.0 possible on Blade.

After the YouTube fix, I made an upgrade to this ROM (I've used it a few months ago, but there were too many functionality issues back then, so i switched back to SwedishSpring), and here are some of my issues/observations:

1. When I first installed it, the phone could not find any WiFi networks. /system format and reflashing fixed this.
2. The phone "fried" my 4GB SD card, and it can no longer be formatted, partitioned or fixed...the phone was stuck in "mount/unmount SD card" cycle, so I had to get a new SD card... This may or may not be ROM related...
3. The old issue with blank window in Facebook, Gmail and similar apps is still present, and it appears randomly. It seems that it is present in every app that has scrollable content (some local news apps also have blank area where scrollable text should be)

Anyway, great work, great progress. Although GB ROMs still provide a more fluid and snappier user experience, this one is very usable as a daily ROM. Kudos to developer/s!

For my knowledge battery drain can also happen by some installed apps - which maybe run in backgroud and frequently try to use WLAN/DATA.
If some here have no battery drain and some have - with same ROM and under same conditions it only can be added apps OR maybe different BLADE Version.
My GEN2 Blade has really no noticable battery drain if WLAN stays on over night. But i have no apps running which will use internet in background (Weather radar or any other such app).
Better battery stats may help to look after such problems.

I second that. this rom is quite stable..

Is video recording supposed to work in the latest version with the YouTube fix? I doesn't work for me, but it is not mentioned at all in the first post.

[huibuhh]

It is supposed to work and does so for me.

You are right, the files are saved in sd/DCIM/Camera, although the camera app never shows them in the top right corner after recording. And the store location option does nothing.

In this case what is the solution for this ROM? In GB Swedish Snow ROM this was not a problem. I would keep WIFI on all the time without any battery drain.

KonstaT --> Could you please give your expert advice on this WIFI battery drain issue?

Hi KonstaT,

Have you got a chance to look at this WIFI battery drain problem. Within 10 hours flat battery drain happens from 100% to less than 10% battery, even you do not use phone for anything i.e. in sleep/standbuy mode and keep WIFI on without doing any data access through WIFI.

Another strange problem I see is, stock browser is not able to display some of the URLs like --> http://www.nse-india...watch.htm?cat=N. Not sure what the reason is. Browser go on trying to display URL contents but nothing comes on screen, just a white screen everytime. But browser is in a loop to refresh the URL. Same thing happens with Dolphin browser, but Opera Mini is able to display this URL withing few seconds.

What could be the problem? Any solution for this browser issue other than using Opera Mini?

While the phone is "sleeping", try to press the keys (except the power key). If the phone turns the screen on, it is because it was not "deep sleeping" and so there is the cause of your battery drain.. Try and see what happens..

After locking the phone, after 15 minutes I tried pressing phone hard keys, with WIFI on and also with WIFI off in two different scenarios. Except power key, no other key press turns screen on. So I guess in both the conditions, phone is in "deep sleeping" mode, but when WIFI is on, there is battery drain.

Does it record with the same framerate as cm7?

It records at 9FPS... so... no. In CM7 I had 20FPS on 800x480 but here 640x480 9-10FPS.

Thank you the advice Ganster! I will try it.

Bye

I tried Youtube watching without overclocking. Also in this case the phone freezes after 10-15 minutes. I don't feel hot the phone. I think the problem isn't the overheating.

[HDuser]

some times notification dropping is pain in ass coz when you drop notification it give you blank screen after waiting 5-10 seconds it will show you every notification and toggles, I personally couldn't figure out problem but thanks a bug, just for knowledge .

[rabaip]

With youtube., It's not just the green line problem itself, those videos also cause a soft reboot after 15 seconds for me. Videos without the green line do this too sometimes.

I second that!
It happens often. And, for me, is the only BUG, the video problems are not that important. For me, of course.

[96frozen]

Can you please try to fix the notification bar widgets bug? all of the content in there just goes away and comes back up in 2-3 swipes lol

also, there's a call bug that when you're calling someone theres nothing on the notification bar so i can't disconnect the call. good rom but these need to fixed.

ty konsta for this great rom
