[Q] Video Cover Flow Widget - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Has anyone found or seen a video cover flow widget that works on this tablet?
I tried Cover Flow off the store but that crashes all the time and no widget. I'm looking foe something that I can add to the home screen that just shows video covers from a folder and when I click on a cover it lets me select which video player to use.
Thanks

Images over MMS "play"

When someone sends me an image over MMS, if I tap it to view it full screen, it is still using only half the screen and has player controls at the bottom. It appears to have a 5-second play time. I cannot zoom or view the picture in the Gallery app or any other photo-viewing app, and I can't zoom in or scroll. The only way I can actually view it as an image is if I long-press the image, save it, then open it from ES Explorer, Gallery or similar app. This is the case with all pictures sent to me over MMS and from all senders. How do I turn this off so that the MMS app sees it as an image and not a 5-second movie?
By the way, I noticed this was the case with my S3 as well, so maybe this is more related to the Samsung SMS app than the Note II. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix this issue, though I can confirm I have the same complaint about it. I have the feeling it has something to do with the Android text messaging app and how it handles attachments, and not so much how the Note 2 specifically handles them. I had this exact same issue with my Experia Play. It's an annoyance at worst to me, so I just ignore it, but if anyone knows of a workaround, I'd be glad to hear it!

Car mode app with map and media controls?

I just got a car dock for my S4 and have been looking at various car apps (car home ultra, etc). I can't seem to find one that has everything I want...
-map showing a 3d view like a nav screen and current media album cover with playskip buttons, roughly like this car radio: http://goo.gl/7NQ6bH
-compass heading
-app launcher buttons
CarHomeUltra seems to be the most popular and it is nice. I find myself jumping back and forth between map and whatever media app I am using (stitcher/pandora/mp3) The UI for it is just a launcher really... could be done with a home screen I think. It has some other nice features I guess. Just looking for more "widget" type things (3d map, album cover) to add to the screen... with more flexibility on placement. With a large screen device like out these days, a few more buttons would still be tapped aesily while driving.
Is there anything like CarHomeUltra but better?
Thanks!

Hi, I like your idea and will incorporate it into my enhancement list for CarHome Ultra.
Thanks for the idea!

[Q] "Defaultable" Gallery/Photo App with Drawing

Just received my S6 Edge and love it, but I do have a question.
The drawing function is gone from the Samsung Photo Gallery edit. On my S5 and S4 I could take a picture, then using the included Samsung Photo app to easily draw on the photo (i.e. make an arrow, circle something, etc.). Likewise if I took a screen shot I could easily use Edit -> Effect and draw on the picture, then send it to someone in the same app.
Am I missing something? I can't find a simple Gallery application as my default, go-to app for reviewing, then drawing on on pictures. Likewise there is no drawing capability on Google's Photos app (the one with the pinwheel icon). Everyone raves about QuicPic which is otherwise great, but there doesn't seem to be a drawing function. Key functionality - I'd like to be able to select the app as the default gallery so that I don't have to keep switching back and forth between applications.
Has anyone else solved for this?
you have to download the sdk for that in galaxy apps

[No Root] Youtube Background (Trick)

Hello ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.
To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:
● Open the application in the normal way.
● Select the video of your choice.
● leave the video playback.
● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.

2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.

Yes the features offered by Ogyoutube are very good, but in Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, there is no button to adapt the video to the entire screen and looks ugly with black frames

Keeping vivid display settings in reading apps

On my Tab S7+, if I use Moon+ Reader or any other reading app, the page turns yellow. If I have a YouTube popout video video playing, the page will stay white until I close the window. Does anybody know if there's a way to fix this or is there an app that stays on top of other windows but is smaller than the YouTube window? I know I can use multi-window mode and resize it but it would be nice to just open an app to have vivid stay on. Or, is there a way to enable rotation in Dex? The yellowing doesn't occur in Dex mode but the tablet only works in landscape with Dex.
P.S. If anybody feels like making an app that floats over other apps but is transparent or tiny, that would be great.
