Hey guys,
I'm gonna keep it short. My dad has a galaxy s and he's too fond of watching videos. Unfortunately, on every ROM I've tried, video playback isn't smooth at all. One of the reason I guess is the second core and hardware decoding issues whatever, but there should be a solution.. which I am not able to. I feel really bad for him, help me out?

He bought my a Galaxy Nexus and uses the i9000 himself and I really wanna help him out. :confused:

MXPlayer works pretty good with the Galaxy S ICS Roms.:)

Confused by the OP's question: do videos not play at all? Or are there certain codecs/bitrates that are posing a problem?

To be perfectly clear: the term "lagfix" is essentially a filesystem change from RFS to EXT4 and is only applicable for Samsung ROMs that use RFS. All AOSP-like ROMs like CyanogenMod are using proper file systems (ext4 and yaffs2) to begin with so there is no "lag" to "fix." Consider the lagfix term deprecated :)

720p videos in wmv format do not support h/w decoding, therefore they are very slow. With mp4 or mkv it's all fine though.

Playback of 720p mkv's is fine for me on both Slim ICS 3.6 and the latest CM nightly with MXplayer/BSplayer.

But TV OUT is really bad though. 720p lags so much I only get about 2-3 fps. And lower res videos show a lot of screen tearing on the tv during scenes with a lot of movement.
