I've been babying my phone for a few weeks but my screen protectors are in the mail.

Gorilla glass is tough, no doubt, but so is sand. Minor scratches can happen, so I've been extra careful.

OP: I've done a lot of research, and based on a really good youtube video I had it narrowed to either Ghostarmor or Reallook screen protectors.

You'll find a lot of happy customers for either. You'll also find, if you look hard enough, some who prefer both over the other XD. I've read in some mall kiosks and bestbuys, you can find Ghostarmor and have it professionally applied with some kind of toaster... If you want to cover the whole phone (front/back/sides), then Ghostarmor seems the way to go.

Reallook however has a lot of happy customers here on xda and elsewhere... I figured for $10 for a pair it'd be worth a shot. That's my conclusion after spending too much time researching the topic =).
[Vibrant Accessories] dnguyen1988:
I'd say to definitely go with realook screenprotectors. I've tried many different ones but this is by far the best
[Vibrant Accessories] splat matt:
+1 for the Realook screen protector.

I have had three vibrants and was able to re-install the *same* realook screen protector without bubbles! People don't believe that I have a screen protector on. Plus it doesn't affect the touch screen's response.
[Vibrant Accessories] stephenj37826:
I have used zagg on all my pdas and I really like them. I get it installed at the mall where I live. They will replace it for the 5 dollar install fee if I have any problems.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
been naked since the day i got it, put a clear freak on it for about a week but that was a mistake. Naked = best.
[Vibrant Accessories] acspin:
Realook. :)
[Vibrant Accessories] briankao1992:
I received 2 realooks and both of them had bubbles near the ear speaker. I also bought some from eBay, which imo worked just as well as the realook ones, and also looked equally as good.
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
I have Steinheil Anti-glare and Anti-fingerprint. I like it alot.
[Vibrant Accessories] mrbrown012:
Sgpstore.com!
[Vibrant Accessories] Nickarus:
I figured this out.

If you get minor air bubble above/below the ear speaker without dust underneath, the trick is not to push the air out so much as you need to create horizontal tension across the top of the screen protector.

Alternately push the SP from any bubbles around the speaker towards the top-left and top-right corners of the phone - not just up to the nearest (top) edge. I was able to get the problem 99% solved one evening, then the next day when I woke up the sucker was perfectly flush everywhere!
[Vibrant Accessories] dandab:
I got the zagg screen protector but I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you use swype. The zagg is a little sticky and has a little resistance when using swype. My biggest problem was that my home button stopped responding with it on. It became such a nuisance that I had to take it off.	I don't think it was zagg's fault but the sensitivity over the home button is just weird.
[Vibrant Accessories] a400meter:
Realook is but far the best I have tried and they are pretty cheap for two. ~$11 on ebay. Had one on for 2 months and the screen still looks naked!

Small price to pay for the added protection imo.
[Vibrant Accessories] Br1cK'd:
i've never personally used a reallook, although i understand they are amazing. yesterday i had a bodyguardz screen protector applied, and its freakin fantastic! very clear, after not even 24 hours i can't tell its there anymore. very easy to glide your finger over, and lifetime guaranteed against scratches and rips.
[Vibrant Accessories] rlxurmnd:
i got clearfreak installed on my vibrant and my wifes vibrant. i had reallook but couldn't get the bubbles out around the ear speaker.

VPlayer NEED testers for DROID X and DROID 2

Version: 0.7.7a7

1. Basic streaming support. When you click a video link (http, rtsp) in somewhere, you may choose VPlayer to open it.

2. Fix audio bugs in 3gp, wmv, etc.

3. More responsible when openning a video.

4. Fix the bug in subtitle sync.

---------------------------------------------------------

I've developed a media player which can play divx/xvid, rmvb, flv,

you can find it from market by search vplayer

At this time, VPlayer is just an alpha version and only support device with neon support and Android 2.x

VPlayer using FFmpeg, can play almost all video formats, Divx/Xvid, real media, flv, mkv.

VPlayer is almost the best video player in performance.

According to feedback of users, VPlayer acts better than other similar media players in divx, flv, rmvb playback.

Now VPlayer is in alpha version, only basic video playback capabilities. But it made perfect, it takes into account

the use of the various situations encountered, for example, while you are watching video, a call is coming.

VPlayer will continue to improve in the future, some basic characteristics of video player (such as subtitles support)

will be added on asap, and some special features are in roadmap.

The functionality and performance are most important feature of VPlayer. I plan to add hardware decoding and streaming

I try to make it clear, but my English is so poor...

hmmm, I also have to improve my English performance

Moderator edit: This app has changed into an expiring trial version, which is not allowed on XDA. Therefore this thread has been closed.
[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Hmmm, i get no results...
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
oh, i see.

perhaps your rom dosen't support neon.
[Android Apps and Games] safeplayer22:
I'm using it now and i'ts working great. You have the trackball to pause the video. But is there a way to make the trackball fastforward or rewind the video? I know that I can do that with the scroll bar, but it would be nice to use the trackball too?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboKan:
I find it .

I'll try it today.
[Android Apps and Games] pinoymutt:
Only available for Froyo? bummer...
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
No. However the Andoird version must >= 2.1 and the phone must support NEON.
[Android Apps and Games] MercuryTangent:
Downloaded it earlier; so far so good. It plays my flvs smoothly, and the app is much smaller than rockplayer. I'll test it out with some different file types tonight.

Sent from my Virus Infected Evo using the XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] dopeee:
sweet player - will you be building in any subtitles support by any chance?
[Android Apps and Games] qube310:
Hope to see subtitle support soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Of course, subtitles support will be available in few days.
[Android Apps and Games] Captainkrtek:
If you write a more detailed post Id be glad to get it on the XDA front page. Just list some features and such
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thanks, I've added more info. Please review it:)
[Android Apps and Games] zoftdev:
Please consider Thai subtitle too.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
zoftdev, I will consider it
[Android Apps and Games] Binary100100:
Not showing up on Market for Dream/Sapphire devices.

I suggest updating the first post with device requirements.

Nice work though. I'm bummed that I can't try it. :(
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
Works great on my N1 - CM6 nightly. Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Archon810:
What's the benefit of using this over RockPlayer which plays even more formats and is probably also using ffmpeg? http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...e-host-of-video-files-on-your-android-device/
[Android Apps and Games] IamMartin:
It can play my .avi files alright but sometimes the colours from one frame fade into the next.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
VPlayer can play all the video formats that ffmpeg support, and VPlayer has better performance.
[Android Apps and Games] schriss:
It works great on Desire Z.

Q: Will it be possible to browse LAN and play from networked shares?

[Android Apps and Games] skimminstones:
Gives a really bad screaching/feedback noise when playing 3gp files on my desire HD
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
The feature is in roadmap, but no deadline.:)
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
I've noticed this bug and dunno how to fix it right now.

Wait for next release.:)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vud911:
New version is already released. New features includes battery percentage indicator and time. Loving it more and more.

I did have some issues with wmv files though. Haven't tested it on the new version yet to see if the possible still persist. The same file worked on rockplayer.
[Android Apps and Games] ozgreg:
Yep that is possible, use the CIFSManager APP.. mount a Share directly on your Android Phone and it streams like a charm..
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
how come still no love for the D2/DX?
[Android Apps and Games] RichardHaro:
Can it play soft subtitles yet?
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
If you guys (Desire Z) have a CIFS.ko module for your Kernel use CIFS Manager from here on XDA (or the market I think) and map them to your SDCARD, then Vplayer will play media from network shares just great. :)
[Android Apps and Games] arrowarther:
thanks you very much

Is the samsung spica i5700 not supported? :confused:

I have tried installing the apk and every time it just says installation failed or aborted or something like that and I can't find it on the market either :(
[Android Apps and Games] con_cop:
I can't download from the site you gave "mik101" could you give me another link (apk) plz, thanx.
[Android Apps and Games] lithid-cm:
i am using this on the evo and mkv files I have tried are choppy... Is this known?
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
I posted it on my dropbox but periodically that gets cleaned out. The link to he developers homepage has been posted many times through the thread. I wish the OP would update his original post.

http://abitno.me/

Click the giant green V.

It's also available on www.appbrain.com for those who use that service. :)

P.S. The link does work for me -- I just checked it. The author I believe is from China, but the host appears to be in the USA so no one should have trouble connecting to it.
[Android Apps and Games] androidbird:
thank you so much for your kindness, i will test it with samsung gt 1000
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
best video player there for nexus one, better than rockplayer although missing better rewinding way as my finger isnt most accurate :)
[Android Apps and Games] schriss:
We don't have it yet.

So I tried ES File Manager which allows to browse LAN.

Problem is that when I try play file from LAN, it opens some default system player. When I copy the same file to local and open it, I get a list of players to choose from including VPlayer.

This is strange that when playing from LAN the list of players is so limited?

A2DP issue

Thank you very much for this video player. It is by far the best one I have ever tested.

Since the last version (0.7.7a5) I have a desynchronization between audio and video (about 1 sec). By going back to the previous version (0.7.7a4) the issue disappear. And no problem too if I use a cord hearphone instead of my Jabra bluetooth headset.
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
Its probably using the systems video player or ES may have a built in one now.

Astro file manager has an SMB module too you could try.
[Android Apps and Games] Nexus191991:
Does no one know?
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
The device should support NEON.:)
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:

.avi files in 624x352 pixels. Audio in the video is MPEG LAYER 3 @ 48 000 Hz, 2 Ch, 123 Kbps.

In the Android Market comments of the app, other people are complaining about audio sync in this last version.
[Android Apps and Games] ckinwing:
audio channel selection?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] ho.angii:
Force closes on the dell streak when I try to play full length movies. Do I have to change the format or anything. Rock player seems to play the movie though
[Android Apps and Games] oriondr:
It'd be pretty nice if you could browse the LAN in VPlayer.. or if ES could open VPlayer for videos.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
I think the audio sync bug was fixed in version 0.7.7a6:)
[Android Apps and Games] fivefour:
Definitely need to be able to get to the /mnt directory with vplayer so I can stream my cifs mounted files without using oi file manager. Great media player, my goto movie app now :)
[Android Apps and Games] tincmulc:
Market comments still report audio sync problems after last update.
[Android Apps and Games] Sixe:
It's better but audio is still a little late with my bluetooth headset. I'd say 500ms late. I've tested with another video player (Rock Player) and I have the same delay. The sync is good if I use a cord hearphone or under Windows Mobile with the same bluetooth headset. So perhaps the issue is from android a2dp drivers.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
New version

I think VPlayer will work on Droid X now, please help test.

1. Basic streaming support. When you click a video link (http, rtsp) in somewhere, you may choose VPlayer to open it.

2. Fix audio bugs in 3gp, wmv, etc.

3. More responsible when openning a video.

4. Fix the bug in subtitle sync.
[Android Apps and Games] cwleong59:
ok, can I volunter to be your tester. I am using the CSL MI700 which does not have the neon cpu. This device is having the snapdragon processor.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Just go to market and search VPlayer.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sixe:
I have a bug with this new version: if I click home button while playing a video, when I come back to VPlayer it brings me to the file list instead of resuming the video and then when I click on the video file it have the "Loading..." message that stays indefinitely. I have to kill VPlayer in order to be able to use it again.
[Android Apps and Games] cwleong59:
When to search in the market for VPlayer, could not find it, it says no matches. Could you provide the link for me to download it to test.........thank you

Are there any plans for UPnP support? I have most of my media on a UPnP server and i would love to play them without copying to the phone.

[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thanks. Can you offer your log file ?
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Then I think your device's cpu dosen't support neon.

I'm sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] cwleong59:
Too bad, hope the future release u can do some magic and get devices like mine not supporting neon to use your VPlayer. Such a wonderful player.......... too bad cannot use for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Sixe:
If you tell me where I can find it :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nEUTRon666:
Great streaming support now..now streaming via cifs or as module for estrongs file explorer would be SO lovely :)
[Android Apps and Games] EleCtrOx666:
It's already my favorite video playback app. It's awesome.

If this app supported streaming from an divx for example, this app would be THE best app for Android.

I just bought donate version, profit :).
[Android Apps and Games] kwft:
I have this problem also, stock 2.2 ROM from Dell, vplayer installs OK & launches, but crashes when I try and playback an AVI...

Hopefully these are the logs you need....

I hope you can get this working, as I'd be far happier donating to your player instead of supplying my IMEI to an untrusted vendor (rockplayer).

Admins - Apologies for circumventing the 'no posting links' thing, but I don't post enough to have the bar lifted & I see no other way to get the logs out there...
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thanks. I need some info about your device, you can send to me through VPlayer, click about from menu, then feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Just search 'log collector' in market.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thanks for your donation.

What did you mean by streaming from an divx ?
[Android Apps and Games] nEUTRon666:
I guess he means the same as me, streaming in general. From a CIFS share directly or some other source. Also getting VPlayer to a "System Player" as Rockplayer does, would be really nice. So every app could use VPlayer as direct player for anything. Maybe this also would work with the DLNA feature of the Desire HD, i could possibly play any video via DLNA source.
[Android Apps and Games] Deetari:
This is a pretty awesome video player. I've been using it interchangeably with Rockplayer fora while, now. :D

I can't seem to get any RTSP links to open with vplayer, though. When I click one in the browser, it gives me options to view it in other media players (Streamplayer, default video player, mVideo, etc.), but not vplayer.

I reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, and cleared all my defaults just to be sure, and it still didn't work.

Am I the only one having this issue? I've tried multiple links on m.livestream.com, as well as the rtsp link provided on Wowza's mobile page (google search 'rtsp bunny' and it's the first result).

I'm using a Fascinate (Galaxy S).
[Android Apps and Games] EleCtrOx666:
Yeah, this one would be the best, streaming my Divx'es from my PC.

But what would be awesome too is streaming an Divx from any host, like this sample from megaupload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q3W7UJNX and directly play the file.
[Android Apps and Games] nEUTRon666:
I think most of this stuff can be archived when VPlayer is registered as System Player...let's see..anyway, great work, go on! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
Just to clarify -- streaming from a CIFS share works perfectly -- if it doesn't for you -- it's user error. Make sure your CIFS share is mounted to a symbolic link on your SDCARD and that vplayer is set to your system player.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
It's my fault, you will see VPlayer when next release.:p
[Android Apps and Games] fivefour:
Great news, could you make sure were able to browse outside the /sdcard.....to the /mnt directory specifically so us rooted users can get to our cifs mount.
[Android Apps and Games] Deetari:
Oh, awesome! Thanks. :D
[Android Apps and Games] kwft:
Done, thank you for your time & attention! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Implemented in next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Reichi:
Hi,

first of all the new streaming Feature is INCREDIBLY cool. I'm using vPlayer in my app dreamDroid to allow Users streaming from a dreambox to any android device vPlayer runs on.

While this works basically pretty good, i've got problems with "special" urls.

As soon as there is a blank or & or some german "Umlaut" like äöü in the url vPlayer doesn't seem to be able of handling those urls.

I'm passing the URI to vPlayer using URLEncodedUtils.format() and Uri.parse().

Example URI passed to Uri.parse:

http://192.168.2.101:80/file?file=%2Fhdd%2Fmovie%2F20100423+0940+-+Sky+Cinema+-+Marley+%26+Ich.ts

Logcat Output of vPlayer:

11-28 17:14:23.249: INFO/VPlayer(12060): OPEN FILE http://192.168.2.101:80/file?file=/hdd/movie/20100423 0940 - Sky Cinema - Marley & Ich.ts
11-28 17:14:23.421: ERROR/VPlayer(12060): NATIVE FFMPEG file_open, can't open file

I don't know, but it looks to me as if vPlayer doesn't escape properly. It would be great if you could have a look at that issue.

Finally again BIG thx for your great work and effort!
[Android Apps and Games] z0mt3c:
Did anyone find a working sout-chain for streaming with vlc...?! :/

Edit: For those... trying to open rtsp links and stuff i attached a small app to open vplayer...
[Android Apps and Games] Stuhl_im_Orbit:
I love the program :D !!

And I have one question: Is it possible to access video file streaming via the LAN function of the ES File Explorer? That would be nice! I can't make it work :(.
[Android Apps and Games] kaivish:
Nice app with big extension support. I have a toshiba folio n the app doesnt play any videos, just goes back to main screen in the app(directory list). Could it be because of the tegra2 cpu not having neon? Do you think the app can be made compatible to use on tegra devices?
[Android Apps and Games] moontan33:
doesnt install on the archos 101 :(
[Android Apps and Games] [armitage]:
Won't even install on the T-Mobile Pulse(Huawei 8220).

I'm painfully aware of the fact that this is a very low end device,but would be awesome,if you could find a way to make vplayer work on cheaper phones like this one.

If it isn't possible,no problem,but I just had to ask. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Deetari:
This may be an odd question (as I have no idea how streaming works), but is there a chance this app will be able to view rtsp streams that the default video player can't open?

It's mostly m.livestream.com streams that I've run into issues with on my Fascinate. Some streams work, some won't, even when I'm able to view all of them on an iphone. I'm fairly sure it's due to an encoding setting in Procaster (messed with it a while back to try and figure out the problem).
[Android Apps and Games] ASD2003ru:
I use CIFS share. If play file from Vplayer - sound scratch (very-very low speed). Use RockPlayer - all good. May be vplayer have small buffer?

Device - Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] spidermoon:
Install and works fine on Desire with Leedroid Froyo. Of course, mp4 hd video plays like a slug. But what i really need is the capability to play video on sequence in the folder. I have many video clip and when a video stop, player return to the list. Not really needs a playlist, but just playing video one after another, like the sytem player.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
I can't find this in the market either. I used Appbrain and the correct QR codes but it can't find the damn page sometimes, and when I do I can't actually download it. Tried Market Enabler as well and I can't figure this one out :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] vud911:
I'm getting audio/picture desyncing problems with the newest version. Never had this issue before. CPU usage would spike to over 50% and slowly my whole phone would lag my whole phone till I have to shut off VPlayer via Task Manager.

Anyone else having this issue? :confused: Any way for me to go back to the last version?
[Android Apps and Games] creyc:

Not sure if this has been posted but I have found a bug. When loading a mkv file with an srt file I have to press clear to load it from the beginning or it won't load the video. I can duplicate this error on both my evo's. Both are rooted but one has a custom Rom while the other is stock.

That aside I would like to say thanks for a wonderful video player. It really rocks!
