[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
Yes, SAMSUNG know very well that many customers always like whatever they are offered, no matter what was stripped or disabled without any reason at all...

But I don't want SAMSUNG (or you!) to tell me which color saturation is better or worse for me. I just want to watch the movies/videos in the color palette, brightness & resolution in which their creators made them! That's all! So, a multimedia tablet (as Tab S5e was advertised) without HDR hardware support (intentionally disabled by the manufacturer) is a full nonsense in 2020!

BTW, not only HDR video playback was stripped in Tab S5e, but also 10-bit HDR video capture by the back camera...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] lewmur:
I don't give a hardy what you like or dislike. I just pointed out the the pictures you use to make a point about lack of hi def resolution had nothing to do with the resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
What resolution? It's one and the same resolution on both pictures. The problem is in the color saturation... OMG, do you really think that HDR = "hi def resolution"? No words...

Enabled video enhancer but on vanced I have VP9 in override codecs section! HDR option still not visible on vanced youtube!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
It was already mentioned in my earlier post:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] fatbeer:
I ran a 2160p HDR video in VLC with Hardware Acceleration turned off. Not sure if it was HDR but the colours looked good, so probably was. Frame-rate was dismal due to Software Acceleration.

Which brings us back to the Original Poster's question, can HDR playback be switched on via a firmware/kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] 00SaS:
Nope, it didn't work on my S5e
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] barth2:
I don't have video enhancer, only vanced. Downloaded the vanced manager from vanced.app and use it to install the correct vanced for my device. Then I followed instructions in OP to enable the hidden option, and chose galaxy s8+.

Now when I play an hdr video in YouTube in landscape maximized, like this one

https://youtu.be/1MieluM0c6c

it kicks into max brightness. The HDR is unmistakeable. But I can confirm with the three dots menu it's indeed HDR. Some videos that are supposed to be HDR just don't trigger HDR at all, or it doesn't cause vanced to kick into max brightness.

As for vlc, I'm not sure if I'm actually getting HDR. With some movies, colors are washed out, so it's clearly handling it wrong. With others, colors look good but maybe it's just SDR, because SDR colors look good too. After all, SDR is what we've had forever. It's not like colors haven't looked good till now. Vlc doesn't give you any diagnostics so it's hard to tell what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] fatbeer:
Just tried Kodi with HW acceleration turned off and a 2160p hdr file. Colours were good and playback frame-rate is better than VLC.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] yongzhenkit:
I find it weird. When the HDR profile is set and you play the HDR toggle on vanced, all HDR vids that have blacks in their background are not black but grey-ish, it also seems to be limited to FHD rather than the available 2k res that I see available in the normal YouTube. I'm also not entirely sure the HDR in vanced is displaying HDR even though the toggle says so as when I switch between Vanced and the normal YT app it looks the same when i boost the brightness up for normal YT. When i put it side by side with my s9+ which has HDR by default the colours looks slightly different also.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] barth2:
Yeah it's all a little suspect. I guess when they say not officially supported, they mean it.

I can't get any sort of HDR outside of YouTube. Oh well. I have real HDR on my TV
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] yongzhenkit:
Yea its not really useful TBH other than on bigger screens like a TV. I can probably count the number of times in 1 hand the no. of HDR YT vids i watched on my S9+, and its all when i just bought the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Princeland:
Hello, the shortcut to Video enhancer does not appear to me using that app or also through the nova launcher activities, it does not appear. The hdr on Youtube yes I have. Any suggestion? A greeting!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
Well, the latest version of MPV player for Android (2020-09-04-release) can play fine offline HDR videos on Tab S5e (stock Android 10) with hardware acceleration and rich colors/brightness (bt.2020) up to 4K 30FPS HDR. As regards to 4K 60FPS HDR files, the video playback is OK but some audio stuttering occurs (audio/video desync) and I still can not resolve it by the various MPV Player config options...

Note: use MediaInfo to differentiate between HDR (HDR format = .........; Bit depth = 10 bits) and non-HDR videos

(@Princeland: I can start Video Enhancer by QuickShortcutMaker on my Tab S5e but, in fact, it does nothing, better try MPV player for offline HDR video playback)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] dunt2:
Mpv player. Thank you LeGi0NeeR for this information
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] cHECKjAM:
Ahh what a disaster.

Bought this pad to use as a media player with lineage. And now cant even play majority of my videos.

Some say to use kodi without hardware acceleration and that will show HDR but videos are so so laggy, like extremly unwatchable.

This is with full 4k HDR files.

If played through vlc or MPV its the same issue although on MPV its not viewable.

And with hardware accel none of them show HDR...

So what now...?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] cHECKjAM:
How? Please share how you turned of HDR and watched a 2160p HDR file without it stuttering to pieces? Was it a very low bitrate file?

I try with a ripped remux of a 2160p movie and with the 2 options I find for hardweare acceleration turned off it is for sure HDR picture but framerate is horrible and lagging to death.

I tried MPV player and that actually works somewhat. It shows the HDR correct even with hardware decoding. However there are some glitches when you seek around in the movie. But the main problem is the framerate. There is for sure something wrong there.. Im used to Kodi and kodi will adjust framerate for the video/screen I think. It just flows perfectly, but mpv is very inconsistent with the framerate. Something is for sure not right..

Any idea how to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] fatbeer:
I never said it did not stutter but the colours were correct, so it was either tone mapping or HDR. Just wish there was more than one app that could do it with HW acceleration enabled.

Plex can use tone mapping and transcode a 4k HDR but it's not actual HDR and will buffer ever 10secs or so when streaming on my set-up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] cHECKjAM:
Ok so this is basically dead.. We cant play HDR on this tab correctly then. It's just a normal SDR tablet..

Damn it I wish there was a good tab with real HDR support supported by lineageOS
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] GΛMΞBØY69:
mpv player indeed supports HDR playback,

Go to settings-> advanced-> edit mpv.conf

contrast=10

brightness=-7

gamma=5

saturation=-20

Copy paste this and hit save.

I didn't face any stuttering or lags while playing a 4k HDR 10bit video under file size of 5gb. I watched blade runner 2049 in 4k HDR with no problems at all. If the file is more than 5gb you may face minute stutter I know thats enough to pull someone out of a movie experience. For that problem I tried changing Developer options-> disable HW overlays turned on.

It helped a bit but still something isn't right.

You can play 1080p HDR files flawlessly in mpv.

Later,

I tried different media players that includes the players mentioned in this forum.

Alternative CnX player (paid)

Before purchasing it I had my doubts if its gonna play HDR or not. So I have managed to download an illigal apk version. Like mpv player this has the option to change brightness, contrast and saturation of a video.

By default it plays the video with washed out colours but you can calibrate the video by changing the saturation, gamma and Contrast options in the settings and plays in SDR.

NO STUTTERING OR LAGS

I know it isn't exactly HDR. My goal is to watch 4k movies in this tab and it's hard to find 4k SDR version of every movie.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Jessie_Etch:
I also tried QuickShortcutMaker but I haven't found the Video Enhancer option.

Is there any way to activate this option without rooting the device (Magisk) ?

I just checked both the mpv-android and vlc sources. None of them have any mention about setting up HDR whatsoever here.

And there are also issues opened for that. So I really don't know how y'all are saying to have/see HDR (except perhaps with Kodi).

Found out that my /persist partition didn't have any files in it, just directories that were empty

What I did is this:

In orangefox, make sure /persist is unmounted or you'll get an error

1> extracted persist.img from MIUI global rom

2> copied persist.img to my sd card via orangefox

3> adb shell to my phone while it was in orangefox

4> cd /sdcard1

5> dd if=persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p55

6> reboot

Now my camera works and auto rotate works as well as the Prox sensor.

I hope this helps someone.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] O's:
The N7 TW MM just works better for me than Oreo or Pie ROMS. I haven't found a single Android 8/9 ROM worth leaving N7 MM TW. Between the S-Pen, better messaging features, and tons of other little TW tweaks, I just find that design easier to use, and I really don't get why to use Oreo/Pie beyond security updates.

Anyone else think the same? Also/or, how can you make the Oreo/Pie system and apps look and act more like N7 TW?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ghostwheel:
For me the spen is the big negative. All other features I see benefits one way or the other. And the biggest thing with the spen is just how to get touch to stop working when using the spen. Whenever I use the spen on android pie, for example in squid or one note, some of what I write gets erased if I lean my hand on the screen. the app Spen command actually manages to turn off touch nicely when pen is disconnected, but it isn't consistent, and causes other problems. Other apps claim to turn off touch, but don't really.

if you HAD to pick one Negative about the phone, what would it be?

amongst the list of things i don't like, i must choose the one thing i use every single day, multiple times a day.

the POWER Button.

my previous device (huawei mate 20x), had a taught power button which didn't wiggle around, satisfying click when pressed, and for a bonus, textured and colored.

the Fold: aside from failing to combine the Power button and the Fingerprint Scanner, the power button on the Fold is just like any other Galaxy device: cheap, thin, loose, and mushy to press.

here is something almost everyone doesn't think about when wishing for an edge to edge, top to bottom, front display:

how much imbalance it would create on the phone. one handed use would be completely be gone.

- for someone not using a launcher: reaching up top to swipe down notification shade

- whether using standard navigation buttons, or using edge swiping: imagine reaching all the way down just to hit he navigation area

- people who use swipe one handed for text, it actually is perfect ergonomically the way it is now.

- not everyone has big hands

during and even before the Fold presentation almost a year ago, everyone was criticizing the front screen size without thinking about it in depth, and people STILL criticize it in newer videos, made 2 or 3 months ago.

all they see is bezel and think "its 2019/2020, wtf are we doing with huge bezels?!?!?"
