My question is i bought an mhl cable and it seems to work ok, but it doesn't seem to mirror the "hud" in movie apps or youtube. For instance, when you're watching a movie player and you tap the screen the options come up (like the little bar where you move the dot to go to a different place in the movie) but with mhl it won't mirror to the tv. When i go to youtube i have no way of changing the options or anything like that (i use a bluetooth keyboard so I'm on the couch) It will show up on the phone (like normal) but it's just not showing up on the tv. Just the video is but no overlaying options or anything like that.
does anyone know how to get the settings to show up? It's really frustrating!!

So, I don't have any docks, and finding someone who does, that can get back with me is rough.
Pros of Samsung Desk App
Audio out
Daily Briefing (news, stocks, weather, calendar)
Can show clock or calendar as default.
Can set separate wallpaper.
Music

Cons
Requires extra packages to work properly, including samsung music player.
Does not include a screensaver.
Is kind of ugly.
Pros of aosp Desk App
Audio out? (I enabled settings for the dock, choose settings. Cannot confirm they work as I dont have a dock).
Alarm
Gallery
Music
Has night time mode
Screensaver
Cons
Less options
AOSP without a doubt.!
I have a dock. I don't use the audio out function, so I prefer the options of the AOSP clock if I had to choose between those two. I don't think the AOSP clock would work with audio out, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
What would I really use? The Alarm Clock Plus V2 app from the Market, which is generally the AOSP clock on crack.
There are audio settings I added to Settings for the dock in Superclean. So it may work with audio out. I've no way of testing.
I have a desck dock and much prefer AOSP over the stock samsung clock. If you need me to test or do anything with it I will do my best to help contribute.

I'm on 2.7 SC and have my phone in the dock at the moment. If I try to look at the dock settings I see the Audio menu you are talking about, it is grayed out though. Tried with and without the output jack hooked up.

I got the same results as well. The toggle for docking sounds works.
I have both the car and desk docks so audio out is a must. One thing that people may not be aware of though is that the Samsung music player has it's own audio out button that works very well independently of the dock. Surprisingly, I have found that I really like the Samsung music player...I use it in my car instead of Power Amp Pro. The things I like about it are that the Album art is full screen, giving plenty of real estate to swipe through songs. It also has EQ presets, plus a custom setting, plus 5.1 stereo mode for headphone usage. Since the music app has it's own audio out button, I really don't have any use for the standard dock apps. Also, as a side note...one of the things I've done for a long time is use Launcher Pro Plus and Tasker to make a "pseudo" car dock app. Tasker has LPP support in that it will take you to a predefined homescreen page when it is connected to the dock you assign in Tasker. I typically set up a page (like page 7) that I never use for anything else and put my music widget and commonly used "car" apps on that page.

Hi, I'm on 2.9.1 and I have the same problem... Audio setting while docked is grayed out... I've installed the patch for PowerAmp and still no luck... does anyone have a fix?
Thanks,
Kevin

Open source wins. Samsung clearly doesn't understand that concept.
voted for samsung clock
The Samsung clock has a stopwatch built in, which requires one less app if you need that functionality (I do, and I already use the Samsung music player with puzzle lock, so I vote for Samsung)
apk for Samsung Clock?
I love the SuperClean ROM.. great job! I do miss being able to dock my phone at work and play Pandora through the speakers in my office. How can I get that reinstalled and keep Super Clean?
Hello all,
Now that I have netflix on my 10.1 I would like to start watching videos full screen which the tabs screen is the perfect size for. But when things are full screen the videos dont stretch to the full screen because of the bottom menu bar. Is there anyway to hide this bar while watching videos?
i second that!
There's nothing you can do. There's possibly something the developer of the software can do, but it hasn't been fully documented yet. This is at least the third thread on this subject -- use the search function next time.
I have been playing with some of the framework. It is possible to manipulate the resources so that the bar is removed. The issue is doing so programatically. We would have an event handler to remove the bar only when needed. And also, turn the bar back on when needed. I'll say its a PITA experimenting with the sysbar. That 'back' button is a necessity.

Look at any of the games published by Hexage (e.g., Everlands, Robotek). They dim the bottom bar just like the stock video player. It can be done.

DIM (video mode) and Remove are two different animals. The testing I was doing is to give me the ability to actually reclaim that screen real estate.

Sounds like a bad idea to me given the absence of hardware buttons, but since this is xda I nevertheless wish you luck in your experiments.
Seriously, its absurd that I have to watch videos with that stupid menu bar at the bottom. Even Amazon's stock gallery app does it! Yet somehow their own streaming video does not (and the streaming video appears to use the full screen resolution, not just dim the bar).
All you need to do is have it show up with all of the video controls when you tap the center of the screen - sorta like how amazon's own streaming video app works.
Download honeybar.
Well, apparently, it must somehow possible for the taskbar to be hidden completely on Honeycomb 3.2 because I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0, and when the Kindle app runs, the taskbar completely disappears. If one taps the screen anywhere in the Kindle app, the taskbar pops back up.
Presumably, any app or video player could be written or modified to allow this capability, I would think.
When using the i9300 with the Note 2 smart dock to connect to the TV, the stock Touchwiz gallery isn't a great way to view pictures as you need to manually perform the screen rotation for each pciture and have the notification bar present all the time.
Is there an app that can handle this better, preferably also with controller access to scroll through images? I usually use the Sixaxis controller app to remote control the phone as a native bluetooth controller and also with the mouse functionality for apps that don't support controller, although performing "swipes" with a joystick working as a mouse is inconvenient.
I don't think that just rendering the image rotated to fill the screen will work -- I think it has to actually lock the screen rotation to get the HDMI output to support it correctly, or perhaps hook in to the hardware video decoder somehow (as YouTube and other video players seem to rotate the HDMI output to landscape even when the on-screen output is still portrait).
is this feature stock on the galaxy view? i don't have the icon in my notification / quick settings pull down menu, nor does it appear if i select edit to show the available icons... further, does the galaxy view actually have a mirroring app that allows you to cast your tablet to your tv, that mirrors exactly what you see on your tablet, as opposed to just being able to cast when in certain apps, such as video player?
i'm using chromecast ultra and once the google home app has been installed on the galaxy view, casting to a tv works fine, however there are like 6 steps (clicks) you have to go through in order to finally get to "cast screen / audio".
what i'm ultimately trying to accomplish is cast my galaxy view to my tv with as few steps as possibly, 2 clicks at the most, am i dreaming?
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.
