: MX Player was the first Android player to support multicore decoding, which can increase performance by up to on dual-core devices compared to single-core decoding. Processor Optimization
In this post, we look back at why this specific version was crucial, what the ARMv7 Neon codec actually does, and how to install it if you still need it.
MX Player was one of the first Android players to support this, improving performance on multi-core devices by up to 70% over single-core alternatives.
Version 1.13.0 features the classic subtitle renderer that supports ASS/SSA (Advanced SubStation Alpha) animations, karaoke effects, and PGS (Blu-ray) subtitles. The Neon acceleration ensures that complex subtitle rendering does not cause frame drops.
Most Android devices released before 2016 use the ARMv7 architecture. This is a 32-bit processor design. Popular chipsets include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400/600/800 series, Samsung Exynos 4/5, and MediaTek MT658x series. If your phone has 4GB of RAM or less, it is almost certainly ARMv7.
Look for the option labeled Custom Codec (sometimes called "FFmpeg Codec"). Tap it.
