[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
I abandoned custom ROMs because of HD video playback. On official ROMs I can stream HD videos over WiFi with Dice, on other ROMs its impossible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pixelsquish:
recent MKPro updates include the option to select HW decoding.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] songmeesay:
Had this problem too on cm roms but bsplayer works flawlessly. Used it on all cm based Roms to stream and play local hd movies. Also has an option to offset audio delays.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
I tried BS player, does a good job of smoothly playing MKV files!

The audio offset option was GREAT & worked wonders!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
I also just tried the LATEST MX Video Player. It's EXCELLENT & by far the best video player I've tried, nice & silky smooth...

There is however ONE big issue, NO SOUND!! :(

At least BS Player had sound & played smoothly...

Thanks for the recommendation idiotekniQues
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vvyymm:
One and the only correct answer - BS Player. Trust me. I tried ALL of them. Playing 15-30Gb MKV files using iMedia Share from my PC via wi fi. Smooth and loud :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
So, so right... :D

Finally!...Large, 1080 MKVs played from the USB drive. Sound that works. Slight audio delay correctable with "in-built" audio delay function.

So happy! :p

Next moves:

1. Pay these apt, apt developers for the "paid for version". They deserve it!

2. Show my "iPad drone" friends what I can do, just by using my "discerning consumer" hat...LOL
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] BAD_BOY_KIEV:
BS Player and Dice are the best.

However, it depends a lot on ROM you use, only stock based ones have full codecs HW support, CM9 and CM10 based will lag here and there the other time you play some 1080p mkv.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sladeywadey:
I agree - stock roms are the ones to stick with if you want consistent HW accelerated playback of video. I can't use CM9 or CM10 because I need HW acceleration.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jonamafun:
Yeh the only reason I'm not using CM9/10 is because of video playback. Playing video is one thing, but getting proper audio support is another.

I play 15gb 1080p MKVs with DTS audio on my 7.7 using MX Videoplayer with software audio decoding. Worked a treat on my trip to KL recently.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] songmeesay:
I'm on paranoid android and this rom is based off CM10 and I'm able to play my 1080p remuxes with DTS audio smoothly with BS Player. You should look into it. Seems like the people complaining about video support on cm roms are either just stuck on using MX player or just don't want to transcode their video collection to h/x.264 (strictly speaking of HD content here).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
Yeah, another great feature this player has is that you can boost the volume to 200% making it loud and clear!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jonamafun:
Ah... I think when i was on CM9 I tried almost every video player. Must have missed BS Player!

Btw here's a pic of my 7.7 on the plane =)

Been reading and it has been very informative. :)

Can anyone suggest players which can pick up the .srt files over the network? i've tried various, but doesn't show the subtitles.

If played direct locally (in the tab) it works.

thx.

QQ Player isn't bad either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Before to make this a debate. I must say that this is all my personal opinions.

I wish you all to know that I have probably flashed all kinds of roms, SEEKING to find some kind of PERFECT rom, but you all know that we as humans will never get and accept something that is perfect, as perfect. (just love be4 she dumps you xD)

So continuing with this thread, I wish to share my experiences with you ALL <3 and hopefully answer all of your questions.

Stock CM9 KERNEL/ROM

Pros: The best one i have tried with almost never changing Battery life, I love it and always return to this bad guy after a bunch of roms with bad battery life. You must get this!

Cons: Little to none customization when it comes to governors.

Siyah x

Pros: considered as the best kernel for almost 78% of the XDA(not really, hehe), they like this because of the multiple governors and for being one of the best kernels with cero problems, always updating. Apart from it, it also supports 2nd rom in recovery, so its perfect.

Cons: as all other kernels, in order to get best battery life, you need to tweak them, change voltages, and it takes time, without changing anything from this kernel, the battery life goes to 90% from 100% with only 4 minutes.

Other kernels

Pros: you get to try new kernels...Woohooo!!!

Cons:just not as good as siyah kernels without customizing them.

So I hope you find this as a little entertainment for both, me and you, with love, bye!....

CONS -

I attached a picture with what's wrong with my phone and I'll try to explain the issue the best I can. I seem to be having a problem with my Gyroscope it's always tilted to the side, I believe it's from dropping it often I guess but basically I can't use anything that involves me using my Gyroscope that includes pictures. (I'm new to this site btw I hope I'm not breaking any rules.) I'm not sure if that picture is good enough proof but I'll supply more if needed. I've tried calibrating it and nothing changed. I don't know if I have to replace the part or what to do tbh...

I've also got another problem with my s2 I can't seem to get any service or bars on my phone. ( Now I believe it's the sim card but is it possible it could be a hardware issue like the sim card port or something?) and when I do get service/ bars I only get like 2 bars when I'm outside? I really need someones help please and thanks :)

It doesn't have a listing for my country/region {Canada/Virgin mobile}
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Since you are from Canada, your device is actually, GT I9100M. The latest update for your carrier is still Gingerbread 2.3.6. It looks like your carrier really hate you people because other carriers already provided ICS updates

My advise is for you to flash an unbranded ICS firmware for any other country, or maybe the one for bell or you can flash your firmware 2.3.6 for Virgin Mobile.

What do you think?

I didnt have any tracking devices installed on my phone before i lost/had it stolen. when i try to call the phone it rings once and goes automatically to voicemail so its either off or dead. I am trying to find a way to find my phone because so far they arent answering or responding to texts. Btw the screen pattern lock is activated and i don't think they have made it into my phone considering i havent been able to get it to actually ring so its not on. I have tried plan b but i dont think its working because the phone is off and then i tried androidlost and i havent been able to get that to work either.

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
So, as far as I know, this should be able to control PC's too, and maybe PS3's. But, I've only tried this on other Android devices. Should control anything on CM7.X, or anything on any form of Android 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.

Prerequisites(Epic 4G specific):

Has to be on an AOSP based ROM(CM, AOKP, Paranoid, etc)

Step 1.) Enable Bluetooth on your Epic 4G and other Android device.

Step 2.) Pair the devices together

Step 3.) Now, install "BluePutDroid" on your Epic from the Play Store.

Step 4.) Open BluePutDroid, hit the Start key on the top left

Step 5.) Swipe up the "Log" bar to make sure there were no errors. If there were, try step 4 again.

Step 6.) Tap the device you want to connect to(your other Android device)

Step 7.) When it finishes loading, the screen should be green. Swipe on this to move the mouse on the other android device. Tap once to click on the other device, and hold down till the screen turns red to do things like scrolling, drag and drop, etc.

If the S/W keyboard shows up, hit menu "Toggle Soft Keyboard" to hide it. If it keeps enabling itself, install "Null Keyboard" from the Play Store and set that as your input method while using BluePutDroid. Also, the H/W keyboard works great. So you can use that to type, or navigate with the Dpad :)

This app works on other devices as well, but I can't go into great detail on ROM compatibility and such.

If your device has CM7/9/10 or any AOSP based ROM, this will work.

This will work on the (rooted) stock ROM of some devices, such as Nexus S(all forms), Galaxy Nexus(all forms), and Galaxy S3 (all forms)

On other's it will not work on the stock ROM, regardless of root, such as Galaxy S(entire first series), and many older HTC devices(not sure of newer ones).

According to the app developer, this is kernel related and nothing he can do; if it works, it works. if it doesn't, get.cm ;)

Would this work if the other device doesn't have bluetooth? :p

It connects through bluetooth and sends commands through bluetooth... so sure, why not? ;)

[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
There's apps for PCs similar to this. Like RemoteDroid and gPad. I'd prefer gPad because it has many other uses, like controlling windows media player, microsoft powerpoint, and using it as a mouse/keyboard obviously. But again, it's over WiFi. Bluetooth is beta AFAIK.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
This app has been around for at least a year - the benefit of bluetooth is faster response times than over wifi. I think that's partly the result of the direct connection, and partly because the wifi methods involve a computer-side server (often using vnc, which uses some processing time to send a live stream of the screen, even if the connected client app doesn't need it, such as with a remote kb/mouse app)

Please any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just had this fixed. There's something wrong with the power sensor, especially if it tries to boot the second you put the battery in without touching the power button.

Unfortunately you've been rooted now and because of the issues, you can't flash stock and reset the root count. So you can't sent to your carrier.

Fortunately, http://www.mobiletechvideos.com fixes EXACTLY this for $35 minus shipping it to them. I got my phone back today and it's just the way it was ROM wise and all my files are there and the issue is fixed.

For anyone with key issues and need to get into recovery or download mode there are adb commands that do this. We get too comfortable with apps and forget about the manual way of achieving a lot of the same tasks that apps provide for us.

Hey everyone! I have a similar (but not quite the same) problem. Every now and then my phone "tells" me to restart it for maximum performance. Every time I restart or just turn on my phone it goes through the boot cycle, including a message that says "android is upgrading" (I got the ICS upgrade from Kies prior to rooting my phone). Then, all of a sudden, the phone doesn't work, and it starts the boot cycle all over again. This happens several times in a row, which for me is a safety issue because I'm not able to call Big Jon (my husband) to get me from the train late at night. Any fixes for that? Thanks.
