This app is for people who want to show off the Avatar movie on the vibrant but deleted the movie from their SD card or are using a different SD card.
You will probably want to delete the stock app from your system if you haven't already, and you have root permissions.
YOU MUST HAVE AN AVATAR MP4 ON YOUR SDCARD TO USE THIS APP
This app will NOT work with the stock copy-protected movie. You must use your own Avatar movie in a supported format.
What to do:
1. Install app.
2. Open app and select your Avatar video file from the video list.
3. Pick video player and set as default when prompted.
4. That's it! After picking the video for the first time the app will automatically play the movie when the app is opened.
Enjoy

Yeah, me too. But I would like to have the original icon to work in the new location. Digging around I found the movie was set up more like and apk then a simple shortcut to the app, probably to keep us from screwing around too much.
Anyone have any luck reassigning the original icon with logo to the movie in a new location like the system SD? Launcher Pro Plus has a great deal of flexibilities with shortcuts, but I could not get there from it. Looks like I need to edit the apk file. That could be fun, anyone done this yet or know how I could?

I was wondering how to copy the FULL MOVIE of avatar to my girlfriends sd card from mine? I am asking because she accidently deleted her copy????
I just bought a new SD card and copied the old one directly to it. Avatar plays from my new card just fine.
Dunno if there's some copy protection linked to the phone or just you have to have a Vibrant to play it.
I also moved from my 2GB SD Card to my 8GB without any problems.
As Col. stated though, I don't know if it'll work on another phone.

Ok,so while I am glad that it worked for the both of you,I still do not know how to do it.
So can one of you walk me through the steps in doing it? lol Thanks guys.
When you mount your phone through usb it'll open two auto play windows. One with a folder that says movie and the other your sd card. Find the avatar dcf file and copy it to your hard drive. Then unmount your phone and connect your girls phone and copy the movie to her movie folder. Done.

You can apparently play it on any Vibrant. The copy from my first Vibrant plays fine on my replacement.
Ok guys,so here's the deal.
I was able to get the movie back on my girls phone and it played,but tell me if you also have this problem.
Does yours also now only play from your gallery movie folder and not the avatar icon? Weird. I'm sure a factory reset will make it work again but just don't wont to do that at the moment.
Thanks vibrant fam!

create a folder in you sdcard and name it Movie. Put the movie in there. Your external sdcard... and the movie should play by pressing the icon.
So what if I renamed it avatar instead of movie? Do u think that could be why it does not play from the icon?

Yea, I believe so. The actual movie has to be inside your sdcard in a folder called "Movie" if not, the app will not find the directory it's looking for.
Ok so thats what im doing when I get home(renaming folder). Ill let u know if it works.

Ok,it worked. I renamed it back to "movie" and now the avatar icon plays the movie as well. Thanks for the help!
That's a huge chunk of space in your SD card....I just moved mine over to my phone's 16 GB of storage. Yeah the "app" doesn't work, but I can launch it from the video player just fine.
For Anyone who wants to use the Honeycomb Music player.
This works very well, no lag whatsoever and amazing with landscape view.

It's working on a stock based ROM so you can give it a go. The only bear is that you won't be able to back up if it doesn't.
Download Installer from the Market, unzip the file and place the apk on your SD card. Then locate it with Installer and try installing.
If it doesn't work you may need to do a factory reset to get the original music app working properly. The Sense one should still work though.
Thanks for the quick reply i appreciate it!
No worries! Let me know if it works out for you.

If i'm using Astro, all I gotta do is copy the apk to the system folder & install then reboot??
Application fails to install.
Anyone else seeing that?
Update: Installed now. Works. Not sure why it was not installing when I downloaded using the XDA app.

You do not need to put the apk in the system folder you can just install it from any folder just like you are install an app from the market, no reboot necessary.

I havent tried this app yet, but Im guessing you would just reset the defaults for the program. settings>applications>manage applications>search and tap on the app>scroll down and tap on clear defaults
Has anyone noticed the little equalizer next to the song stays on as the song is playing even when I stop the song I just wonder if this is eating up anyones battery.Also if I do decide to keep this one how can I go about deleting the old one I know it's something pulling the apk from astro but where do I find it at I'm really new to all this sorry.
It foes not overwrite the stock music app so just uninstall.

Out of interests sake why do you want it? The inbuilt player is rather pathetic.
Thank you so much. Downloaded and tried to install, didn't work. I just downloaded another video player from the market and it works better anyways. Also I uninstalled motocast notifications and now I get no SMS notifications lol so guys probably wanna stay away from that one. Using handcent instead now, which that works better as well.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated

i think this one can't be installed.. you have to copy it to \system\apk and setperm to rw/r/r. anyway, i use MX Video Player and it works awesome.

You can't use it without the needed Blur framework and libraries. Porting OEM apps isn't so easy.

I am looking for 3 things.
1. Is there a way to disable video uploading? I only want to back up photos.
2. Is there a way to force dropbox to only upload when connected to a charger? I find the lack of this option in the app to be ridiculous really. I thought dropbox would be a fairly mature app by now.
3. How can I disable the uploading of the screenshot folder? I really have no need to back up these and it just clutters the camera upload folder.
I am rooted so if there is any root way to do it then do tell me. And if there is some other service that can provide me with all these features then do tell as well.
Thanks.
The first two can't really be solved, unless dropbox adds that functionality. For the third one you could try adding .nomedia file to screenshots folder and see what dropbox does about it. .nomedia file hides particular folder from being searchable by android aps like gallery and music, so it might work for dropbox too. Worth a try. You still would be able to access screenshots through file manager

Thanks for pointing out that you find a solution by using a thrid party app.
I know that app is good, but i would like to find a "workaround" with the official dropbox app.
