[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
its been awhile since i check this thread.

seems that some post were deleted. lol...

seeing how long post gets deleted, i shall keep my opinions as brief as possible.

excuse for tab10 being slow due to big screen resolution is invalid.

galaxy note and tab 7.7 similar resolution, but they are very smooth with no lag.

great experience out of the box.

reason: they use the exynos chipset similar to sgs2.

the performance is great. such as loading apps, actually running them, scrolling, rotating. there is virtually no lag.

My hate here, and rant, is mainly towards NVIDEA and their hopelessly weak procerssor and GPU. tegra2 is failure, tarnish android image. so sad that all first gen tablet uses it. makes majority average users feel android is slow.

lets make playing field fair and compare base on category.

tablet: tab7.7 powns tab10.1 and every other tegra2 tab out there. benchmark and real life usage.

phones: sgs2 powns lg optimus 2x and motorola atrix(use tegra2 as well). if want to be more fair, just compare optimus 2x, since atric has qhd screen.

i always knew tab10.1 use tegra2, but i still bought it thinking there isn much difference(i was so naive at that time). but its really really bad. HC makes it even worst. as the thread starter mention, its really a shame tab slower than phone.

look at the competition. i'm not apple fan, but i admit it, ipad2 is just soooo smooth and fast. (of cos it has its limitation and weakness), but over all user experience is smooth. the tab10.1 in the out of the box state is just.....sad.(dont want to elaborate).

i'm not a whiner. since i spend so much $$ for it.

i force myself to learn about rooting, and flashing rom. now on kang ICS, the performance is in the acceptable range.

tegra2, the first dual core, also the weakest and slowest.

tegra3, first quad core. but i'm not interested, will wait and see what TI and samsung offer.

take a look how tegra 3 get powned by TI's dual core.

being the first does not guarantee good performance.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infuse4g:
Completely agree. Nvidia is the main problem with HC tablets. Remove tegra 2 and instantly awsome tablet
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InTents:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with MIUI.

I have a P7500 3G with CM9 KANG ICS.

I have used both for web browsing and I did see my phone as faster until I set my CPU of my tablet to 1.4ghz.

It really has made a difference and my tablet browsing is awesome and quick.

I would also try using the Google Chrome Beta Browser. It makes web browsing a dream :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herpi:
Is there any way of speeding up the scrolling between homescreens? I prefer not to root.

Also for me the speed is disappointing. Used to the Ipad and Galaxy S2.

Without widgets it is somewhat faster but widgets is the nr. 1 reason to go for Android.

Huib
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Wow this thread is over a year old now lol. You can't do much without rooting I'm afraid..

Disable all system apps you don't use and see if that makes any difference. Otherwise, it's root and freeze more apps or flash custom roms.

[Android Apps and Games] MyNarwhalBacon:
If you built this for Google TV, and allowed DTS decoding (Logitech doesn't support DTS), then I would love you forever! Otherwise this looks promising!
[Android Apps and Games] VinC0deur:
Thanks, I test it ! But he FC on ICS (Galaxy 3, unofficial CM9 port.) :(
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:
That is because you don't have Cortex-A8/NEON as stated in OP. It works on ICS.

I will see if I can port this to other devices.
[Android Apps and Games] stangri:
Does it play files off the LAN (like BSPlayer does)?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] VinC0deur:
Ok. Thanks you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Pinak.ahuja:
Could you make it work with armv6 vfp please?
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
very smooth and no FC so far :-) I played mp4 and divx movies so far.

Running on ICS ROM. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] dodava:
Tegra 2 doesn't have NEON support.
[Android Apps and Games] Cellulah:
What relation does this have to the real VLC? Is this not just some media player that can play many different codecs?
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:
I will publish a version compatible Tegra 2 in a couple of minutes.

It is VLC.

No, currently only media playing features are being ported.

DTS is missing from sources (WIP) along with MPEG-2 and Theora.
[Android Apps and Games] adridu59:
Bump, added two variants. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aparanoidandroid:
My device is running a non-official build of ICS based on CM9 and my phone is G2X.

After installing VLC, I see the message that it is alpha software. I checked "Do not show me this message again then it crashes. Now, it crashes right away when I run it. :(
[Android Apps and Games] sudhirkhanger:
Is UI optimized for Tablets like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rodan32:
I downloaded the Cortex-A9 version and installed on my Toshiba Thrive (it's a Tegra 2, running Honeycomb 3.2.1), but no joy. Just kicks me back to home as soon as I click "OK" on the "This is an early alpha version" message. The Cortex-A8 version works great on my Nook Color in ICS OCed to 1.2ghz (have yet to try in GB). I gave it a shot on my Droid Pro (also the Cortex-A8 build), and it seems fine there too.

I'll follow the thread here and see if I can break it with some different formats. Thanks much for the effort to port this.
[Android Apps and Games] J3N0V4:
I just installed this on my Moto Xoom with a CM9 based ROM, I'll have a great big logcat for you in about 3 hours get home just a heads up
[Android Apps and Games] erraggy:
The Cortex A8 version works great on my HTC Sensation 4G. Great work. Thanks for getting this project compiled for Android.

Next time, it would be nice of you to not use a service that requires me to accept a privacy policy where they can sell my email to third parties, most likely, spammers. I get enough spam as it is. Don't need more. I know most use throwaway or dummy emails, but those get tedious and annoying after a while. Plus, Uploading.to uploads to 8 services at a time. You get 8 mirrors right away.

Use Uploading.to or Bayfiles.com

crashes on ThinkPad Tablet

VLC-20120227-A9.apk

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet

Tegra 2 (I think no_neon, but I can't find this at the moment)

Android 3.1

---

The apk was very slow to download. Finally got it. Apparently installed OK. When launched, though, it opens, the status icon spins for about 8 seconds, then it crashes -- disappears. Trying to open an avi file also causes it to almost open then crash.

The other VLC from several months ago did work. I'll try to find the details and post here.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:

[Android Apps and Games] TheSmokingAndroid:
I can confirm with the others, currently does not work on my Motorola Atrix running unofficial version of CM9. Just bumps back to home screen. But no force close window.

Would love to be updated on the progress of this on my Atrix for my youtube video's =)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
VLC

Works for me on my Samsung Vibrant running Doc Masters ICS V5 which has a AOKP base. Only have a a few video files to test. Had to point the app to'/emmc/' in settings then choose what content for it to play. With hardware acceleration on, the audio skips on my one mp4 file, but video is ok. Turning that off and it plays fine. My 3gp file plays fine also but for both the pause/skip control buttons are glitchy. I have to touch several times for them to appear on the screen. Also, to access the rest of my content like the vids I've taken with my camera, or the above mentioned files from the Gallery, results in a black screen. I guessing the issue might be related to the fact that media was stored on /sdcard/ prior to ICS. I have a little script I can put in my init.d to mount /emmc/ as /sdcard/external_sd. I'll see if that has any effect and report back.

EDIT: The script definitley made a differece but VLC still can't play them when chosen from the Gallery, I could get the pause/skip control buttons to come up a couple of time, but the screen still remained black.

EDIT: I pointed the app back at /sdcard/, chose 'media' in settings and tried again, no luck.:(

EDIT: Last test before bed, pointed app at /sdcard/DCIM/Camera, no joy. I guess I still haven't figured it out.

EDIT: Lied, testing mp4 and 3gp from the web browser, playing fine! Controls still glitchy for 3gp not mp4.
[Android Apps and Games] cyclonmaster:
I use MX Video Player often and I love it. All format supported. Use ES Explorer to play media files through LAN. I wonder what so special about VLC? is it just another player?

May I have a version for tegra 2 froyo (Android 2.2) ?

Thank you.

This build is for GB|ICS. So I guess the answer is no.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHighlightGuy:
VLC's a very popular and versatile player for desktops, has been for some time now. It's been my default player for years. Basically, it's very useful for playing an array of odd/widely unsupported formats. It also works great with popular formats.

Hello, Thanks a lot for releasing this great piece of software, but I have a question.

VLC originally has an option to open Internet media by pasting a link into VLC, will this be possible anytime soon ?

I['m asking because I study at the university and theres a weird system for viewing video lectures, it seems that the videos are in asf format but no player with the asf playing options can play those videos and the support page at the university says to use VLC\QuickTime or MPC...

Thanks in advance, Hamscer.

[Android Apps and Games] TheHighlightGuy:
If you can get the link (which I'm assuming you can) copy it. Download and install Orbit Downloader (it's an internet download manager) and click "New Download." The link you copied will automatically be pasted in the box. If it shows your file ready to download, awesome, you can play it with VLC on your computer or convert it to something useable on your phone (or use VLC on your phone ;)). If it doesn't show up, open the link in IE or Mozilla (chrome never seemed to play nice with it) while you have Orbit's GrabIt++ open. It should capture the link and you can download from there. Completely off topic, but I hope it helps! Lol

Very good work hope it gets out of beta soon. I'll. Butly this for my other devices.

But

If you already have a stock rom Galaxy S II or Galaxy S you don't need this as the stock player plays absolutely anything from avis to mkv to pure blueray.

Just hope they could tweak it for the CM9. Who don't have codecs and stock Samsung video player.

I posted some days ago. it works well on my Vibrant running Doc Masters ICS V5 with the exception of playing anything from the Gallery. You can choose VLC as an option, but are greeted with a blank screen. I'll try to get you a logcat if that will help debug what's going on. I agree that the UI could use some small improvements.

Thank you for this great app and detailed information!

I'm an Android developer. Curious about the "hardware acceleration" here. Can you provide more information about that? Or give me some links/source code? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I'm developing a video chat app using x264 & ffmpeg. I've built x264 & ffmpeg both with neon, and the app runs fine on Galaxy S 2. However, even with neon, encode fps is low. So I wonder whether hardware acceleration helps.
[Android Apps and Games] rockingondrums:

VLC

Just a few questions that I probably missed while reading. When playing a song in Portrait view, I can see album artwork, but not in Landscape. Also, playing music form the Artists, Albums and Genres, tabs results in a FC or 'No Media Files' message and the app reloads every song. Lastly, you can select VLC to play content from the Gallery, but it just FC's. Any progress on this?:)
