Hi there, just bought a used Vibrant S, this is my first android phone
MIUI 2.3.7 and cyanogen mod 7 were already installed on this phone. Now I am having some issues, like
-Applications often unexpectedly crash
-From what I read on some sites, Vibrant can play WMV and AVI files by default through its own media player but mine only plays MP4, I installed moboplayer, rockplayer, mxvideoplayer, mvideoplayer..but none of them work, as soon as I click the video(from the app) it takes me back to app, only moboplayer can play videos but they are very laggy..
I think these issues are because of custom rom ? What should I do ?
If you don't want to be on the bleeding edge you'd probably be better off with 2.2 stock or one of the many custom 2.2 roms out there. I experiment a lot myself, but I always keep a nandroid of Project V handy. It's my "go-to" rom when I want my phone to just be a friggin phone that does everything without drama.

I read some threads, that one too^ but I was afraid I might not brick my phone
I'm running the latest MIUI Rom and I have absolutely no problems whatso ever. Either mobo player or MX player should play all or most video formats. I use MX player and it plays all formats. Maybe you just had a bad flash or it hiccuped during your flash process.
My advice is to just try and reflash MIUI as I had a few bad flashes before as well, but reflashing the rom usually fixed it. Just make sure you follow the instructions to a T as far as clearing Dalvik cache, etc....

I was thinking about doing that, is there battery drain issue in MIUI ? my phone drained almost 35% battery in 9hrs standby.
btw is there a way to mount internal memory as sdcard? because some apps require sdcard for backup and I have no external sdcard.

Is already available a usable flash player for Folio100? If yes, where? Does any of the mods contain it? Until now I can not play flash videos on my Folio, Is it my fault? pls. inform me.
Thanks, sandor37
You can find flash player in the latest foliomod by dexter and if you have the original toshiba rom you can find it in this forum. Both are bêta ones so there are some crashs sometimes but work pretty good for games like angry birds or watching some videos on YouTube and so.
Edit if you install foliomod do not try to install the one from the market. The one in v1.3c works And if you want try the first bêta one.
Thank you. I've tried these, but found that some items on youtube can not be played, others can. What is the reason for that?

Your question is back to front. That is probably the reason that this is a BETA release of the flash plugin. BETA is a software engineering term that means a product works most of the time, but is not reliable enough to be offered to the general public. (compared to ALPHA, which works some of the time if you are lucky, and RELEASE which is incrementally better than BETA by an amount depending on the standards of the company making the release).
Again thanks for the response.
Now I succesfully installed the mod v1.3d. Everything(?) works well but flash. I think that is the reason why when I am trying to install Angry Bird, after a while it says: "unsuccessful installation". Several other apps and games could be installed and work well, but Angry Bird.
What do you think, what is the reason?
did you start with a factory reset?
No, I simply made a system update. Can this be the reason?
Shall I repeat the procedure: first a system recovery, and after a system update, well?
Angry Birds is not a Flash game, it is a native Android application.
I do not think that your Flash plugin is the culprit here, I would also (like tshoulihane) recommend to do a factory reset. I definitively think that would be the reason.
Thanks.
I have just repeated the update process: first factory reset, after v.1.3d update. The result is the Angry Birds run OK, but no flash-oriented videos. Eg. on BBC's homepage all videos I tryed to play responded: "You have not the correct version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download from here....". If I try to download, it says "this is for Linux." Some you tube videos however can be playes.
Therefore my question is again:Which flash playes can be used with Folio? That included in the different mod versions seem not applicable for general flash videos.
What is you experience with playing BBC-videos?

You must use default browser or dolphin hd if you want to see flash video it does not work with other one i try such as opera or Firefox
This was a very important info. I checked and fnow lash is working at last!!
Thanks!
guys i had a very strange issue here,im on stock deodex XXKH3 rom and my video player always gets crazy, i mean it could just open up sometimes and i could see all available videos in my library but when i click on it to play it just refuse like i just paused it but i gotta admit i used TB to freeze some useless apps and restore from my last backup then this **** only happens although when i defrost everything but it is still the same, any idea guys what did i do wrong? and lastly i had tried all custom and stock rom also different custom kernels but it's stilll the same and my only solution is to reflash back to what ever rom then only the problem solved... did any of u guys experienced it b4?
Hello,
Came from the lightening rom and flashed Hydrog3n-ics 4.0.4 with full wipe and as instructed. Did not change kernel or anything. However, I cannot get flash to work in any browser. The flash plugin is detected on the website however on playing the content it freezes even before it starts.
The media content (cant go full screen or pause/stop, loading circle stops dead) is then unresponsive and the browser, eg. dolphin hd, lags.
Ive tried doing a wipe, flashing gapps and then wiping dalvik then setting permissions but that doesnt solve it and nothing changes in regard to the gapps anyways.
Has this got something to do with the external card? Because I cant seem to find it with Astro (since the rom did not come with a music player app) and 3rd party media players have difficulty finding my MP3 files located on the external sd card.
If I haven't provide sufficient information please ask me to clarify.
Cheers
Know issue with flash and cm9
Only 10% websites work with flash
try this rom
much better.....
No bugs whatsoever. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried westcrips rom and it was a bit unstable so was put off.
If only 10 percent of flash sites work with cm9 roms then I don't really understand the attraction to them. Thanks for the info and suggestion, I am on SimplisticLE, which is a great ROM and most flash site I use work.
I was hoping for a fix since Hydrog3nic-ICS was really stable, fast and I had an excellent battery life on it.
Thanks
Hello, I'm a new member here. I've browsed the forums from time to time but never registered until today because I'm in need of some help.
After browsing and searching online and on this forum, I haven't seen anyone with a problem similar to mine.
So, being brief:
Not a single type of video is playable on my phone. Youtube.com, YouTube App, videos from my phone's SD Card, videos I recorded with this phone a few days ago, nothing. Videos I was able to watch on my phone before also suddenly stopped working. I also can't record videos.
On the other hand, my camera works perfectly, so does the music player.
I haven't added any weird adds or anything of the sort. I've attached screenshots of my "About Phone" info, and two other screenshots of what it looks like when I try to play videos on the YouTube App and videos that are directly saved on my phone.
If help is available, I'll appreciate it highly.
Thanks in advance!
Pedro.
P.S. I'm posting here continuing from the Galaxy S I9000 General forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27504129#post27504129).
Since then, I've done the following:
-Rebooted the system and re-installed the latest Kernel version.
-Uninstalled and re-installed YouTube.
-Installed MX Player. This solved the problem I faced while playing videos from my phone, but still can't watch videos from YouTube.
-Went through my Apps and found that I'm missing the Video Player app (click picture)
-Facroty Reset to no avail.
I'm running out of ideas right about now. I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and installed ICS on it on day 3 or so. Ever since, the videos were working properly, lagless and flawlessly, just a few days ago problems started appearing.
Perhaps the Video Player apk would do? I can't seem to find it anywhere for my phone.
Thanks a lot!
Hmmm never heard that befoure..
I gues it has something to do with the custom rom ure running on ur I9000
but befoure whipeing data/cash partition u may try this
go to settings --> aplications --> search for youtube (u found it ive seen it on ur screenshots ) open the dialouge box where u can uninstall it and delete all aplication data (its like a factory reset for the app) afterwards try again
if nothin works backup contacs messages etc and head for the recovery mode whipe data/cash
if this wont fix ur issue try to reflash the custom rom in recovery mode

Well, had to install another custom ROM. It seems the one I had wasn't compatible with the Kernel I was using. Problem has been solved, and now I'm using 4.0.4, so it's all good!
Thanks a lot for the constant help!

Hello, in order not to start a new thread, I'm gonna post here.
I have a chinese tablet(Herotab C8) with I9000 internals(S5PC110).
I have some green artifacts in the upper left corner on youtube videos(using Youtube app) and also in some games intro videos. On some games videos I have green artifacts, on others I have some strange horizontal lines.
Here is an example, filmed by me:
http://youtu.be/pczqsus_v6U
The first, with the green stuff is a youtube app video, the next is the intro of NFS Hot Pursuit.
I've tried an .avi on Mobo Player and it works just fine, no green artifacts(although in software mode, ARMv7 codecs installed...)
If anyone has any ideea, please share!
Thanks!
Hello everybody,
I am new to this site. I just need your help. I rooted my galaxy s2 and installed deodexed rom with multi window feature. But the thing is that I accidently deleted default video player and now I am not able to play videos on tv via all share. I dont want to install that ROM again. So I just want its default video player and the instruction on how can I install that. pls reply me asap
You should be able to re-install the ROM without wiping data/cache and ensure that the video player is checked (if using Aroma installer).
Alternatively, you may be able to find an .apk and install from your SD.
There are many other third party video players in the play store as well - some, arguably better!

Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry i am not too much familiar with all this. You said "ensure that video player is checke" I did nt understand this. There is no apk file of default video player. And yes there a number of better video players like MX but i want that default player to let the videos play on my Samsung LED tv

There's always an .apk ! Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204423 .
If not, reinstall the ROM but no need to wipe if re-installing if that's what was putting you off doing it.
