Guys, how do you manage to play xvid with built in video player?

When I put a video on my SD card, it appears in stock player but with no screenshot, only some weird small icon. Selecting the video does nothing at all.
[Desire HD General] AlCapone:
Who plays Xvid ? - the simpsons episodes are H264 with MPEG4 AAC audio -both preview & playback work fine.

what we need - is players like VLC, core-player or tcpmp for Android. - VLC - being open-source & up-to-date - would be absolutely best.
[Desire HD General] letom:
I think Vplayer.beta is the best so far however it doesn't allow me to change audio channels but it was a lot smoother than rock player when playing a dual audio track; also seems to eat battery life. otherwise rock player is great.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Sorry, my bad :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adiliyo:
i think it needs the 2.2 voice apk or libraries, i get FC when i try to use it, but maybe someone smarter than me has some ideas?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bomber889:
i think it needs the 2.2 voice search, so it won't work.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kr8r:
thus far, it does need 2.2 to work, it however has been successfully "ported" out of 2.3 and onto 2.2
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bL33d:
man i want this kb cant someone port it to 2.1 bah fing samsung if we just had 2.2 like the iphone :mad:
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] wasupwithuman:
I tried for a few hours... it needs google voice actions to work, so the proper thing to port would be google voice actions... but i tried a few hours on that too...and no luck...im tired... maybe ill try some more lately.

[Epic 4G General] lordpenguin81:
Hi guys. First time posting here. I have a Samsung Epic 4g and I was wondering if there are any roms out there that will get me to a stock Froyo condition. I am not interested in any themes or any extras, just plain old android. Basically, I want my phone to act as if it were a Nexus One. Please advise.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
There is a Froyo leak that is going around currently. However, if you really want to make it look like the nexus one, follow these steps.

1. Look in the development section, there's a guide on how to flash froyo.

Next, download Launcherpro and Desktop Visualizer.

The launcher is similar to the nexus ones launcher.

Next, download some nexus one icons online, and use the desktop Visualizer. Its in the widget section and use the first option. The steps are pretty straight forward. Hope this is what you were looking for!

You won't get it exactly like the nexus one anyway due to a different processor btw
[Epic 4G General] lordpenguin81:
Thanks for the reply. However, I should say, I am not looking for a Nexus One look. I am looking for stock android. I have used Launcher pro before... I can't exactly agree with you that it looks like the stock Froyo launcher however. I have disabled the Touchwiz launcher though and am using the stock Froyo launcher. Honestly, I just want a true Google device with no bull on it. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
We dont have a 100 percent aosp rom.
[Epic 4G General] lordpenguin81:
What is ASOP?
[Epic 4G General] lrosenman:
AOSP is android open source project. The straight code from google with no carrier changes.
[Epic 4G General] lordpenguin81:
Will I be able to root the device and then remove certain touchwiz elements?

**UPDATE**

I came across this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-window-animations-stock-rom.html#post1058483 over at droid forums. I love the new ApeX ROM that Fabolous made for the DX and ported to the D2. But, what I really love about it are the animations. Well, this works on any ROM, and the link will show you how. Im running Fission 2.2.2 with these animations Fabolous made, and I love it. Check it out..;)

I came across more transition animations over in the D1 forums. I am using these right now with fission, they are more dramatic than the other ones but still cool none the less... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/104329-miui-style-window-transitions-cm-6-1-a.htmlThey are in a framework.res apk for a D1, I pulled them to make it easier to install, just unzip the file. You can use it with any rom, just like the others.

Ok, here is a direct link to johnclevenger's post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9391661&postcount=1 , There is a few more choices for animations there, as well as some pretty detailed instructions. Also, if you want to just add it to a rom or theme you are gonna flash, here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9933395&postcount=31 is the instructions how to do so. Enjoy!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Thornfulless Rose:
Nice find dude! Thanks for this!

via XDA on DROID2
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] zibrah3ed:
This works very well and does look good on fission. Good find mikeyinid.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
I figured out how to add it right into the framework of a rom, or a theme. Its cool. Ill probably never be without it :)
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
I think I did something wrong. I added it and some of them work but not all of them. For example when I go into the settings menu and hit back, it just does the default animation rather than the flip and fly out.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
i have the fission themes with these animations built in but i dont know the rules about posting other peoples work. all you would have to do is flash them in recovery. anyone care to let me know how to go about doing this? ill pm angdroid and see if it would be ok to post them.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] o_z0ne:
Make sure you have All Animations selected in Settings>Display>Animation. I had the same issue until I turned the animations on. Works like a charm now.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
:( didnt fix it. It was already selected. I'll try redoing it later on
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
what rom are you using?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
Fission 2.3
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
I'd help ya out but angdroid hasnt responded to my pm. I have the animations put into his themes but its not my place to post them. Hopefully he gets back to me and either posts them or lets me.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] juliend:
Thank you for posting this! Its sweeet! I think its easier to pick the theme you want and replace the anim folder in the apk, then flash the theme on.

Very slick!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
your right thats how i do it
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mistermr:
This is very very nifty, one of the the one things I wanted really bad from ApeX. Thanks a lot for alerting me to this :D
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jones7773:
hey, cool ... i really like this .. this is one of the reasons i liked apex. another was that i could use the nextheme theme w/it... sadly, it didn't have the speed or battery life of the fission!

now if we could get nextheme theme w\fission 2.3.1, along w/this fly-in anim ...Now, that would be Super!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
That's actually what I've done. Most recently I've flashed 2.3.1 and NexTheme and actually replaced the anim folder on BOTH and with both still had the same issue. Every animation works, except when I press the back button to get back to the homescreen. Maybe there isn't supposed to be any animation there but I thought it was in the video that was posted.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
There is actually different animation packages, this is just one fab put toogether. In the thread I linked there is a link to that thread...whew, that was a mouthful :) there is no animation when backing out of the app drawer with the one that's posted
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
Nooo, not the app drawer. Here I'll tell you what I do:

Click settings icon on home screen,
Press the Back soft key.

In that order, lol. If you open Settings and then press back does anything happen?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
Nope, nothing happens. I never really noticed. I think he picked the right animations though, this package isnt overkill like most of the DX roms. Some of those roms have 5 transitions per screen...
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] kwheel596:
Ok perfect, thats what I was trying to figure out. Then...no issues for me:D
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] azurikai:
do you flash this? or what?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
Open the link in the op and there are instructions how to do it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jerseyh22accord:
the video does show an exit animation different from stock.

but the fly in and flip animations zip apparently doesn't include them cause i don't have them either.

makes me feel incomplete :(
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
LOL. Im lookin into an exit animation, I know there is several different ones.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jerseyh22accord:
yeah im still learning all of this so i have no idea how to do that

i just follow directions well and understand adb commands
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
the 2 most important things when your doin this stuff ;)
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
I have tried to get this installed on fission 2.4.2 and can't quite get it figured out. Can someone spell it out to me. Sorry for the noob questions. I really want to get these animations on Fission. I loved them on Apex.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
I dont blame you, these animations go well with every rom. So, my first question is, do you have 7zip installed on your computer? If not you should get it, its very handy when your modifying roms to fit your needs. If you read the post I linked in the op he gives pretty good directions on how to do this in more than one way. 7zip is easiest. If you cant figure it out, I can walk you through but try following his instructions first.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
I did download 7zip and now have that. I will try the directions in the OP again.

Damn it, boot loops. I opened a theme with 7 zip, then replaced the animations folder with the one in the op and I got bootloops.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jerseyh22accord:
so no luck yet mikey getting the exit animations added in?

I've also noticed not every app does the fancy stuff when opening, some retained the stock android animation...
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
If you did this:

1. Right click on theme

2. 7zip>Open archive

3. Open Framework.res

4. Open res

5. Drop new animations(must be named anim)

6. Close it out and flash. Ive never had a problem. Did you unzip the file from the op before you put it in res? I zipped it up before i uploaded it. I bet you didnt ;)

Ive noticed that too, and its different on every rom. Im updating the op with a direct link to the original post for the animations, theres a few more options there.

*I also found some more really cool animations in some DX roms. You guys know you can now flash most if not all DX roms to your D2, and have them 99.9% :) functional. check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876961 make sure you read all 4 posts in the thread.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jerseyh22accord:
I'm quite happy with fission so i guess ill deal then

The only 2 things that would make me change right now would be cyanogenmod or a asop gingerbread rom
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
I did unzip it because I thought you had to. But, the theme is in a zip and I didn't unzip it, I just right clicked on the zip/theme and said open archive and replaced the animations folder inside with the animations folder I got out of the unzipped file from the op. Was that the wrong way???

I'm not sure how to rezip a folder back up.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
Follow the directions in my last post. Sounds like you did it right, but when you open the res folder you should just drop the new anim folder in and it replaces the old one. My D2 is out of commission til tuesday so I cant check the zip I uploaded. I tested it before I uploaded though so Im pretty sure Its ok.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
okay, so do I right click on the animations.zip and extract the animations folder or unzip the animations.zip and then extract the animations folder?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
right click, go to 7zip, go to the 4th option down and extract it to a new folder. Then go into that foldr and there will be a folder called anim. Drop that folder in res folder in the framework.res apk
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
When I go to the animation.zip, right click, 7zip, fourth option down is extract to anima/. That doesn't make any sense. That would extract it into itself, wouldn't it??? Damn, this can't be that hard. I am very computer literate and have never had this much trouble.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
No, it exracts it to a folder in the same location as the zip.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
Ok, heres why its not working.When you extract it to the anim folder, go into that folder and rename the miui_anim folder to just anim. Then put that folder into the framework.res apk. Thats my bad and im very sorry. I ahad to rename to keep it organized and forgot rename it before I posted Ill fix it now.

*Fixed zip in op. Im sorry, I forgot I renamed it :( It will work now
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
LOL, that is some funny ****!!! It works now. Thanks for the help and fix.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
More animations

I came across more and I think these are my favorite, maybe :) I zipped it up so make sure you unzip before using. And I didnt forget to rename it this time...

*I would definitly reccomend setting animation speeds at fast with these. They are slower...
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jerseyh22accord:
what style are they?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jdog94:
well i tried this and put my phone into boot loop i i did something wrong
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] jdog94:
i done all of this and still dont have animation

running fission
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
What directions did you follow? I just downloaded this file and used it just to see and its fine.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mikeyinid:
Oh, theres 2 folders. Unzip it and then open the anim folder and there is another one called anim, drop that one in res in framework.res apk.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowmp5:
for my old iPhone, i can have albums/folders called

Family

Friends

Pets

etc....

but in my DZ now, i only have

camera shots, all photos, and all downloads,

is there are way i can config my photos into different albums/folders?

right now i copied all my photos in folders and dumped into the micro SD, DCIM folder, and now it only shows me that i have +1000pics in "camera shots"

is there a free app or widget i can config my photos?

please advise~
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elegy:
All photo's you put in the DCIM folder show up as camera shots. If you want them to appear as albums you have to put the folders in the root of your SD card.

Sucks? not really i think, Android already makes an unbelievable clutter of your SD card.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamish909:
For example if you put all your family photos in a folder called 'Family', there should be a Family folder displayed in the Gallery with those photos you put in.

It doesn't matter where those images are stored in the sd card - Gallery will scan the whole sd card.

so i bricked my vibrant yesterday. i was running macnut r12 and i tried to flash one of my backup roms. since then my phone gets stuck at the galaxy s gt-i9000 screen. i've searched all day for a solution and nothing has worked.

none of the button combinations i read to boot in recovery or download mode has worked. odin sometimes does detect the phone as com3, but that's as far as i can get it.

is the phone pretty much dead? any help would be great. thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burn1out:
I did the same yesterday.

My fix was to remove the battery, re-insert, immediately go into download mode, do not try to boot. Then use odin to put on a stock ROM.

Worked for me.

FYI, this anso allowed me to get into clockwork, but I could not successfully recover anything using it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
You're phone's fine...last week mine got to the point where I couldn't get it to do anything at all (caused by my first attempt to use odin...ironic, huh? haha). It was my first brick, so I was sweating bullets.

You need to get into download mode...once there you'll be good. Here's the thread that saved me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9370249#post9370249. I had to pull everything (sim, sd, battery), plug in the usb, hold both volume rockers, then reinsert battery. Presto...dl mode.

And it might matter what version of odin you're using. Version 1.0 is what bricked my phone b/c it froze part way through a restore. I downloaded v1.3 and it worked flawlessly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] los619:
thanks for the reply everyone. i've tried getting the phone to boot in dl mode, but nothing seems to work. i've tried pulling out the battery, sim, and sd, holding both vol. buttons and plugging in the usb and all i get is the charge screen.

another question i had is when i plug my phone into my computer should the computer still detect the phone even at the state its in?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qGa:
Mine didn't. But I also was able to do what the previous post said.

Remember you have to have both volume buttons pressed while you put the battery in. not after.
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
Well, I should have listened to myself. I was going to stick with the stock gtab because of the dangers of modding a new ROM. I even started a thread about keeping my tablet stock.

But stock is so messed up and so hard to work with I decided to go ahead and mod Roebeet's 1.01a version.

It installed the first time. Then I reset the data from the Security Menu. Seemed to be running, but the Tnt side didn't work. Worked from the new Launcher menu and I thought I was home free.

Then it went off and automatically came back on, then the VS birds, the GTab, then birds, then tab.....off button no longer turns off....tried redoing the ROm again....no change....tried again....no change.

Loaded CWM 08 satisfactorily. Tried cleaning the data as suggested in threads. No change. I put 2.20 on another sd card. edited it for SDCARD2. Now I can't get CWM to see the external card to load it.

It did load CWM from SDCARD2!

I'm sure there's something I don't know or have done wrong, but I'm stalemated for the time being. Can't shut the machine off, so just have it idling on AC power.

Can anyone tell me how to get CWM to load from the SDCARD2 so I can see if TnT 2.20 or something else well work?

I'd appreciate suggestions. I knew I should have stuck with stock -- but didn't listen to myself. My bad!

it will take you back to stock and you can start again.
[G Tablet Android Development] GideonX:
Im pretty sure you just need to repartition the sdcard. Its under advanced in cwm.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
CWM .12 (the newest one) actually reads from the microSD. But (and this is a big BUT) it has issues with non-padded boot.img files, which is what TnT Lite, and TnT stock based 1.01a1, and stock itself, use. So it's a double edged sword. I still use .08 because of this issue.

I would also recommend the SD card re-partition. You have cwm already so you are halfway there. Worst case it's nvflash time - I have a post on that process, as well.
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
Fate Zero,

Thanks for the quick reply. I had that post laying on the desk before I even started. It wouldn't work because the G-Tablet would not read or access SCCARD2 as I mentioned in the first post.

P. S. -- See answer to Roebeet for more info.
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
Roebeet,

I am back up on TnT 2.20 and your suggestion was a part of what I did.

I really believe something messed up the SDCARD2 operation. After I loaded CWM that way, I couldn't get it to work anymore and so the re-installs keep just trying to load the faulty 1.01a setup.

But here's what I did.

I found the USB option on the Mounts and Storage menu in CWM. I plugged in the cable to mini-USB and my PC. I mounted/turned on the USB and the drive popped up in Explorer on the PC. I could see the old "Update.zip" file and "Recovery" folder on the SDCARD (the ones for 1.01a) and so I erased them. I then copied in the TnT 2.20 files and shut down the links and went back to the G-Tablet and CWM. Still wouldn't work.

So I went to the Advanced menu and re-partitioned the SDCARD -- 2048 and 256 as everyone suggested. Then I just went down the menu in CWM and formatted all the system/cache/sdcard/etc. folders. Then I went by to the USB-PC connection and loaded the ROM files into the newly created and formatted SDCARD folder. Went to the other menu item and told it to apply the zip file -- which it immediately did setting up TnT 2.20.

That rebooted and I went through most of the basic setup, got wireless working, web, etc.

Only problem is I need to get Root Explorer installed to do the Market Fix, and when I went to ES Explorer to go to downloads and install it, it didn't find it in the market. So I will have to figure out a way to install or use something that will let me install the Root Explorer apk I have in the "Downloads" directory on the SDCARD.

I will try to re-think this account and re-write it more accurately when I'm not so bleary-eyed and thick-headed. I have not seen a G-Tablet account of someone rebuilding using the kind of "side-loaded" method I scrabbled together.

Suggestions on how to get to the downloads directory to install apps?

Rev

From CWM,
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Bleary eyed as well (time for sleep) -- I personally use Titanium Backup for the (primary) Market fix. Has worked every time and I've done it a alot, as you might expect. I'm not sure why the file manager won't let you run an apk from the downloads section, but I believe you can download (and run) the TB apk right off their web site.

I'm guessing from the root explorer comment that you are trying the additional Market fix, for even more apps? Maybe you can get it working enough with the primary fix, to get root explorer? I see it in my own Marketplace, although it's not a free app.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Sounds like you are getting there. I replied back to your PM but I guess I saw it a little late:)

I was hoping you wouldn't run into a bunch of issues when I wrote you back. You will get it. I think you are almost there.. And I have been in the same boat myself a bunch of times. Nothing like thinking you just wrecked your new toy....
[G Tablet Android Development] maxxgraphix:
You can use the microsd to load the Vanilla with ClockworksMod, but you are still in a boot loop. So, like others stated format the internal SD. Then use your USB mount option to copy over the stock rom and flash. This will get you back up and running.

Reboot, install TNT lite using Clockwork, reboot, skip Google sign in. Install Titanium and clear that google process. Create a Google Account and reboot.

Market should work after that.
