So i was watching the Galaxy note 10.1 advertisement on youtube and one feature which i thought was really good was the option to open 2 apps side by side like in Windows and dragging stuff from one app to the other
Here is the link. the feature im talking about is at 0:06.
is it possible to have that kinda feature on the Prime?
DAMN IT, why are new people not allowed to post videos?
onskreen does that but it has some limitations.
aopk has a build for that on 'that other forum'

There is it is called over screen it is in Android market
Look for different Floating Apps. There's a few floating video players that work well (I like Superplayer. It's free on the market), there's overskreen, there's hovernotes, there's even floating split keyboard like the iPad has. You can try cornerstone builds, but I hear they're not very stable. Floating apps is your best bet.
Since Samsung headhunted Cyanagen to program for them they seem to have a lot more polished versions of things that are otherwise available on the market. For instance, their camera features the same idea as speedcam however it does it at full resolution. Their floating video player is cleaner, same with the browser.
Now if only i could launch two apps at once in resizable windows so i can play two games at one time

I was wondering if there was a dedicated video app that come stock, that didn't require starting the movie first?
The app is Gallery.
Thanks Kevin, therefore its built into the gallery.
Touchwiz has a dedicated video app. You can install a 99% working version of TW now to try it, or wait for the official update to our Tab's from Samsung.
Don't feel like messing with a 3G version of touchwiz on my Tab, I'll wait for sammy to release it. Anyone know when it's supposed to be released?
My other question is: Is there any way to have movies show up as an icon or movie poster (similar to an iPad) in gallery? All of my movies start off with a black screen, so they all look the same and there is no title under it to distinguish. I know i can click the little info button to see the filename, but I'd like a cleaner approach.

I read somewhere, at some point July 19th was a target date at some point but I don't remember where I read it and if it still applies.
I use moboplayer. It's free, plays fullscreen, and can play avi files.

I came across this app by chance while bored and searching for new apps to play with and wanted to share with the community. If this has been shared before (did not come up in a search for me) my apologies.
While this app is still young and a little rough around the edges, it's still pretty awesome. It allows for a resizable and movable pop up window overlay (that's themeable!!) to play a video as you do other things like surf the web or play a game. Think Picture in Picture on your TV.
It even allows multiple instances of video under a lot of circumstances. Basic but useful multitasking all the way.

It's $1.50 in the android market and definitely provides something that made my iOS friends at work VERY jealous of today. I added some screenshots of it running on my TFP. Video ran very smoothly even with Fruit Ninja playing in the background or multiple tabs.
P.S. It also ran smoothly on my Epic 4G on Gingerbread though it's not as useful on a phone screen!!
Can you resize the video window?

Yes. You can manually resize by dragging the arrow on the bottom right corner or expand by pressing one of the soft buttons on the windows titlebar.
I actually was able to play 2 videos simultaneously on my Epic 4G's 480 x 800 display.
You can also position the window to any part of your desktop if it gets in the way.
Just ran across this yesterday. Pretty awesome!
They also have a nice free calculator app that floats on top too.

Aside from smoothing it out and getting rid of some small glitches I just wish it had the ability to go fullscreen.

Great find, i cant wait to try this out when my prime comes back!

watching a Movie now as I type this. I think the video format would make a big difference in the quality of play back. My current movie is a MVK (bluRay) file and it's incredibly choppy. But pretty impressive just the same!
It's not using the hardware videodecoder of tegra 3. I hope they can fix it. Because this app is really awesome.

I've had great success with 720p mp4's. If this is without hardware decode then I'd love to see what happens if they do eventually add it. Overall I am very pleased with the app and hope that they continue to improve it.
works great! I wonder if this can be done streaming a video from your pc?
I converted some mkvs to mp4s and they play very smoothly on my prime.
I tried playing a .3gp video on my Xperia play and it also played very smoothly.
somebody give this man a medal...extra smooth on the prime

What did you use to convert it? Any programs i try using (forget the name, derp) either come back unplayable format or really choppy or crap quality from blueray rips.
If i wanted to re-encode the movies i have to the exact resolution of the TF201 for best quality and lowest file size, what do you suggest?
Hey guys, here's an article I wrote about 5 of the greatest floating applications out there which really show off just how good Android is at multitasking. Included are quite a few applications that allow us to browse with multiple windows, have floating notepads/video players/calculators, and it includes a floating instant messaging client which makes talking to friends and whatnot extremely easy and convenient! While it's a pretty big article and provides a good bit of depth over all of the applications I'll sum it up here real quick:
OverSkreen - is an application which allows you to browse multiple tabbed windows to truly allow for full multitasking on the device. The browser hovers over any window which is great for taking notes, reading multiple websites, having Twitter and Facebook open, and just browsing the web in general. (Warning: not currently compatible with Jelly Bean. It is currently in the works by the developer though).
Hovernote - Hovernote is a pretty simple app which allows you to have a floating and resizable note taking window so you can take notes/jot down a quick list. It also features ICS spell check and works great alongside OverSkreen.
LilyPad HD - LilyPad is a seriously great looking floating Instant Messenger. It uses Facebook, MSN, and Google Talk to allow you to chat with friends and family from anywhere on your tablet even with a game or other application open in the background.
Stick It! - Stick it allows you to take the full potential of the 10" on our device and use it to watch YouTube videos, or other videos stored locally on your tablet or SD card. It also allows for background audio and multi-window support (although not at the same time).
The last one is AirCalc - AirCalc is just what it sounds like. It's a floating resizable version of the built in calculator on Android - I find it particularly useful when using SuperNote to take notes or write things down. You can have it open over top and perform the usual math calculations without leaving SuperNote.
Hopefully you guys will find them useful like I have! I use OverSkreen almost every day when remoting into my computer from Splashtop2/THD. As well as having it open to Twitter and Facebook for quick access to both from anywhere in the system. Hopefully you guys will find them useful! You can check out the full article here if you would like some more information.

Most likely, the developer said that he would have to rebuild and tweak some things before it would be available through the play Store on JB. Some users have said that it works fine if you make a backup then just transfer it however. Like the poster above me said, you could try the other floating browser as well.

Gotta put a mention in for BS player. Its the best video player for android, plays anything and everyhting i have tried and if you hold the back key while watching a video it becomes a floating video player.
Should, but its been broken on my s2 for a bit. Guess I'll try it a little later.

It looks like Google finally dropped Nexus Q support. With the music streaming issues lately, some hoped they would fix it. Well, they did. You won't be having streaming issues anymore, because you can't do it at all. Sad day for us Nexus Q owners...
The question on my mind is: what to do now with this piece of hardware? My previous concerns about putting CM on it are now moot. I'm thinking of making it an independent media server. XBMC + CM 10?
What are all of you going to do next?
Does CM 10 include support for the speaker outputs?
Last I tried it was HDMI only

so I downloaded the AP K from a Chinese website so I could decompile it without having to root my own phone, and the icons are all still there. Maybe a glitch is preventing it from showing?
I posted on another thread wondering if the bluetooth can just be made discoverable so you can connect to it like a car stereo for streaming.

Sad indeed. It the most beautiful piece of useless technology I own now.
Fine, I understand they're killing the Q. I hate the fact that they're doing it, but as they said - no one really paid for it, atleast not paid Google.
But help me understand this, is there anything that can now replace spotify and apple-TV from Google? I'm loving the all access music service from Google but i still don't have the possibility to send songs to a media center, right?
Or can Google TV solve this?

Well, Maybe There is a chance... CM10 and the google play músic 5 apk... The thing is how to use it without a mouse or a bt Key board

This may be a stupid question, but can the previous Music app be "resigned" so it isn't updated or seen by the Play Store? Could the new Music app then be installed side by side with the altered Music app so we still get Q streaming abilities (with the old app) and then use the new Music app for All Access?
Modaco did something like this with TweakDeck. You could use both TweakDeck and TweetDeck side by side on the same device.

While it may not be the official method, I have Google Play Music sideloaded onto my CM10.1 Nexus Q and it works just fine, even since the update they announced at Google IO (with the orange UI).
If you have cm10.1 you can now download google music in the store this still need a proper app to control it from your phone like apple tv. Also does anyone know what kind of development is going on with it in cms side?

I'm up for doing this, but how do you control it? bluetooth mouse? or does it still connect up to the music app on your phone/tablet?
I'm pretty unhappy about this too. I bought my Q on EBay prior to the announcement that they weren't actually releasing it. I've pretty much built my whole music system around it so not being able to control it will make me go back to using an iPod - something I REALLY don't want to do!! I uninstall the update on my Razr HD and the old version still seems to work but I've not had any luck doing the same thing yet on my Xoom that's running EOS 4 (4.2.2). I may see if I can pull the apk from my Razr HD and install it on the Xoom.

You can control it with a bluetooth mouse, keyboard, remote etc. It doesn't allow you to use your phone/tablet as the playlist manager like the stock Nexus Q functionality, instead you get a fancy widescreen tablet style Google music interface on your TV and you navigate your music and play direct from there.
Am I right that there is no way to get analog output to work with CM to use it headless with some remote app and without TV plugged?
I'm looking for a meaningful solution aswell. We bought one of ebay and loved using it since our small circle of friends are all using google music so it made a lot of sense to us. If it were possible to keep to seperate gmusic apks on the phone that would already be enough I guess.
A good solution would be worth 100€ to us.

Hello,
Love my Tab S3.
Amazon don´t support HD streaming with Amazon Prime Video App on this tablet. (only SD streaming)
With my old Note 2014 Tablet HD streaming was possible.
With Iphone 7 Amazon Prime App shows HD content. (in the same Network - 50 Mbits)
One Solution is to watch Prime Videos with Chrome Browser in Desktopmode.
But the video does not always run smoothly.
I have asked at Amazon Support - but have no great hopes for competent help.
Maybe someone can help?
is this the Amazon video app from the Samsung app store?
Hello RMXO,
thanks a lot for your super fast answer.
You are right - the perfect solution.
Everythink works now!

I read that Amazon PRime Video was supporting HDR and didnt see it on the PlayStore so I went to Samsung App store and it was there. Shame I cant find Kindle for Samsung to get a free book every month.
GLad to have helped!
So. The Amazon prime video from the play store won't do hdr. Only from galaxy apps will?

that is correct
How do I know when hdr kicks in it if it's even working. At bottom it just shows 1080p (for man in high castle)
Does only amazon video support her in this tablet right now (Netflix?) . Is the tab s3 hdr 10 compliant or is it its own proprietary format ? So if I load a hdr 10 video on to it will it play in hdr on Samsung's stock video player (and how do I know, for example my Samsung TV always says "an hdr video is playing and brightens the screen when I do
What actually does real HDR on Tab S3 or S8+? I have both devices, and have not seen any HDR content actually availible yet. Would be nice to see in real life, even if just a sample clip or something.
ya and how to know if its active
I have Galaxy Tab S3 as well and was wandering how can I make use of HDR feature. I have called Netflix support, the answer is simple: Android Netflix app do not support HDR streaming. Only TVs and Xbox app but not Android app. I also checked Amazon Prime help section. It says on Android devices following is support it: SD and HD. The UHD and HDR on TVs only. Even if I choose HDR title on Prime while playback it only shows 1080p, not HDR.
So there you have it, even both Netflix and Amazon Prime have HDR content, Android apps do not stream/playback HDR. Hope this will change with future updates.
Any more progress on this? I'm finding it a little frustrating that the guys over at the S8 threads are able to play local HDR videos over the native Video Player while we can't seem to be able to.
would love to know myself. kind of frustrating.

hi. do you mind explaining how it is you know the Amazon app is indeed running in HDR? is there some visual cues?
I've noticed today in the UK anyway, that the Amazon Prime Video App now offers HDR and Ultra HD for a limited number of series, seems to work really well, Netflix is expected to make UHD/HDR available on Android later in the year.
Like has been said though it needs to be installed via Galaxy Apps, not the Play Store.
Yes, i contacted amazon prime video, the only device listed adide ftom tvs apis galaxy s7, and ask her to update and include our tab s3
How can I play Amazon video in hd? I have contacted the support but they can't help me.
