Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a ROM for the G Pad (v500) with multitasking support. I need it mostly to watch lessons whilst reading some material (mostly pdfs). I know the stock rom has a floating video player, but it doesn't play most video formats.
So far I've tested Omni 4.4 w/ multi-window, but it's a little buggy with MXPlayer in Splitview and when I'm interacting with one app (Adobe Reader, for example), it freezes the other (MXPlayer, for example).
It doesn't matter if the multitasking is done via splitview or floating windows. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You can have mxplayer run in the background (not sure if video images get rendered or not)
I remember seeing in the multiwindoe code patch about setting which side of window is active... I might patch that section (could lead to lower battery life).
Have you seen other implementations that work with both splitscrrens active, like Samsung's split view? I've tried xposed+xfloatingwindows, same "bug"
Alternative is an app like BsPlayer, which actually does its own pop-out to floating window feature, like the Facebook chat heads
Didn't know about this BSPlayer feature. I'm gona give it a whirl. Thanks!

I'd rather try to get omni's splitscreen feature polished, since it will work across more apps instead of just specific apps(like samsung's splitview)

New Music player that leaked today, works well on my A7
Here is the Link: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/05/download-new-android-music-play-3-0-336/
Good find.
Seems like the album view needs multi touch to make it worth it though. Can't zoom in on album covers, makes it impossible for albums that I don't have album art for.

This is one situation where I believe Honeycomb will still be possible on the A7. This player was designed for HC, as it was supposedly taken from the Xoom. The program loads and works just fine, but some features are inoperable. Maybe I'm just the eternal optimist, but one the kernel is released, I'll bet someone can load HC.

Honeycomb or no honeycomb, the issue I mentioned will remain the same as there will still be no multi touch to support zoom in/out in the albums view.
Well, good and bad news.
Good news is that this actually does work correctly on the A7...
Bad news is that there is no multi touch support in the app to make the albums view more readable.
Tested it on my evo, it is what it is I guess.

Its working very good for me too.Is there anyway that the + and - buttons like on the browser could be added for zoom in and out,just a thought.
But hey I like it and it does work correctly like you said,so Im happy with it either way.
Thanks for the pass along.
It has replaced the stock music player. Removed the original one last night after tinkering eith the new one awesome find.
With the release of the S!!! im finally hoping to see my dream come true of having google navigation in a floating window so i can see the nav and pandora/other apps at the same time, anyone have any idea if this will be a possiblity (since it seems that it will initially only support playing videos from the media player :? ) Any ideas?
theres apps available already i believe that allow you to do this
ill do a quick search and link them on here.
EDIT: heres one
STICK IT (Pop up Player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5teWJveWZyaWVuZGlzYWdlZWsuc3RpY2tpdCJd
THis one helps as well
Overskreen Browser

Sounds like this app is for people with ADD. Or is it the Stick It video.

Im aware of the ability to watch video on the s3 and the apps that attempt to replicate that currently available, but my question was if the s3 software would be able to be modified to open other types of content (ie google nav) in a window, and not just video from the media player. any idea?
bump, got to activate a couple s3's at work (sprint rep/tech) and the windowing feature is really smooth but is only available to video opened from the media player any idea of theres/ will be a way to open other apps to that feature?
Hello all,
I've noticed that using the Chrome browser on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, when I try to play an embedded YouTube video, it will play just fine, both audio and video. However, when I click the button to maximize it and go full screen, the playback stutters and does not display an image/video playback; it just goes black (occasionally, even plays the audio, but no accompanying video). When I click the back button, wanting to give it another try, the embedded video says "video playback is not available at this time" or something like that. I refresh the page, and play the game again/try again...same results.
I tested if it was screen orientation. Interestingly enough, the videos that would not play in landscape (which is the "default" orientation) would play in portrait, but would have some crazy, intermittent vertical lines reminiscent of a scrambled/jumbled picture. It's awful.
I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this issue and may have any helpful advice?
Thanks in advance,
senate

Having the same problem, anyone else experiencing this and knows how to make the problem go away? On youtube there is also a vid showing the problem, can't post it but you can find it under this title: Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 sm-t520 video problem
I keep getting that kind of issue when I have Xposed installed. Try uninstalling xposed to see if that clears up the issue.

Dont have xposed installed, don't know what kind of program that is? The problem doesn't occur all the time. Btw the pro 10.1 has more bugs and random crashes, wish sammy would release a firmware update...
Samsung galaxy Tab pro 8", 10.1" or 12.2" video flickering problem [SOLVED]
To fix flickering in video:
Enable developer options in settings (go to about device and tap Build Number 7+ times).
In developer options, under hardware-accelerated rendering, check "turn off hardware overlays". You can also check "force GPU rendering", but I've found the former is all that's necessary.
Hi everybody! It seems some custom rom users had problem about YOUTUBE. Therefore, i would like to suggest you this app:good:
I believe no one will dislike it.
You can see the original thread and also the DOWNLOAD from here:

I use Viral Popup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Mata.YTplayer It gives nice pop out windows of the player and a couple of nice features, and it worked for youtube before Novafusion updated the media libaries to support youtube.
Always good to have more alternatives and some people might not like my recommendation but maybe more yours and also the other way around

btw alternatives are better than youtube ! i can't stand people who uses YouTube app
When I use multi-window mode on my Galaxy S with Netflix and any other app, Netflix will pause when I use the other app. This is frustrating because I can't watch a show while checking Facebook, for example (which is the whole point of the multi-window feature). Is there a workaround for this? If not, can someone give me some practical applications for this feature? I've got some in mind, but I'm curious to see what others have used it for.
I have searched for a work around myself and unfortunatly even with root and with the far superior multitasking that TWDetox uses I have found no way to keep netflix playing while multitasked. I think this behavior is intentional from netflix so you don't "miss a moment" but yea it is annoying.
As for uses for the multitask I use it with almost every other video program and it works beautifully. Aside from that the usual use of looking something up while answering an email so I can easily copy and paste. Also using the open in annother app option on web videos lets most play in the built in video player that can be multitasked over any (yes any even without root) app. This makes watching a video while working on something else an easy experience. Add in a Upnp player type app that allows rendering to the player of your choice and even network attached storage videos can play overtop of any app.
