"BEWARE: Stagefright false trick was a workaround for youtube hq green line problems but it breaks OTHER stuff. I recommend updating stagefright files to the newer ones released. (Instead of disabling it from build.prop file) Try this and give feedback please:

(put the extracted files in /system/lib and overwrite)"

Also the quadrant scores are useless, user experience from xda says disabling stagefright had no noticeable performance hit even though quadrant scores dropped by heaps.

Is there a free version of root explorer I can use?

estrongs file manager can do the same as root explorer (For free)

Has anyone tried this with any success?? I did and the phone doesn't start. Guess it's built for another phone... Thing is, I just found out that disabling stagefright decreases the Quadrant score from like 1000 to 500 (just by doing this quick fix), don't know if it actually slows down the phone or not but...

[Guest bga]

It works for me. Thanks.

(+1 for ES File Explorer)

Same here. I knew that stagefright was updated in later builds of 2.2 to fix the issues, but i think it has to be built for the device. Not entirely sure.

Disabling stagefright makes Android use the older Opencore media framework, which was used until 2.1

It's supposedly less efficient than stagefright, but works all the same.

I havent experienced any issues by disabling stagefright.

As for Quadrant, it seems stagefright is much more efficient at H.264 decoding than opencore, which gives us higher scores if it's enabled.

By disabling it only for http streaming, we're essentially letting Quadrant use stagefright for decoding, hence the scores are higher.

Like ko0l said, there isnt any real peformance decrease because of disabling stagefright, only quadrant scores.

Cheers.

Try Es File Explore, its free and u can use other text editor to edit..:P

cheers

[Guest Skywrit3r]

Worked for me too :D

Quadrant score is 946 after but I forgot to test before applying the fix :P

An alternative to different file/root explorers is to use adb.

To get the file

adb pull /system/build.prop

build.prop will be placed in the same folder as adb.exe Edit,save and put it back with

adb remount

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

Reboot with

adb reboot

great! thanks for solving this

OK, where am I going wrong? I've tried to edit using Es File Explorer but, it says the file is read only. Used mount system r/w to mount it, but, still no luck.

edit.. doesn't matter, used terminal emulator to copy to the sd card, edited it there, then copied it back... no more green line! cheers. Quadrant scores of 930, 985 and 943, similar to before the change.

first u have to be root. goto setting of es file explore>>root options>>

Now check

-Root Explorer

-Mount File system

then you can edit files..:P

ya from terminal too, u can do that..and its good to know terminal too..cheers..

Is there a fix for the green strip that appears at the top of non-YouTube videos using the flbr3a ROM?

I think this will fix all the video which have green line at top not only youtube..

cheers ;)

[Guest rayraven]

^Not really, unless you turn of stagefright completely, local HQ videos might still have it.

"stagefright.enable-http=false" only turns off stagefright for streaming videos, like youtube & tvcatchup.

We use this, so Quadrant can use stagefright for benchmarking and give us high scores.

"stagefright.enable-player=false" will fix all videos, but will give low scores on Quadrant as it uses the older opencore for benchmarking in that case.

But, there wont be any performance degrade whatsoever with either setting.

Nope, I had already tried that :-(
