[APP MOD] VideoPlayer.apk Rotate Video without Auto-Rotation!

Hello
Description
Since some time Samsung made it possible to see videos in portrait. That's a nice feature, but the only problem is that, if you don't have auto-rotate on, the player will be stuck on portrait and you'll have to return, then activate auto-rotate, and re-open the video. It's quite annoying(for me) so I decided to edit VideoPlayer.apk to disable auto-rotation, but maintaining the feature to rotate the screen. Since I personally don't use SRS effects I decided to replace that with a button that would rotate the screen. So if you click on that button and you're on portrait, you get to landscape and the opposite.
It has another advantage over Auto-rotate: if you want to look at a landscape video but you're in a position between the two, with auto rotate it'll sometimes go to portrait, with this it won't.
So, what does it look like?

I would appreciate if some designer could make an icon for it or even give me a good one! Dimensions of the image are 110x76 for Landscape and 90x74 for portrait(thanks in advance!).
If you need:
If you need SRS effects, leave a message and I will see what I can do. I removed it because I personally don't use it but I don't know if many people need it.
If you need other rotations(landscape-reversed, portrait-reversed), also leave a message. I can easily include them, I just need to know if some people need those.
Compatibility
It should work on every Samsung ROM(maybe not future upgrades), I'm personally using Batista 2.3 and used the VideoPlayer.apk from it as a source. Leave feedback if it's working/crashing or not please .
Developers/Themers
If you want to include this in your ROM or theme/edit this, no problem. Just leave a little credit .
Installation
I am not responsable from anything that could happen.
Two methods :
1. Replace manually the APK downloaded from below and paste it in /system/app and confirm the replacement of VideoPlayer.apk with a explorer that has Root functionality, like Root Explorer or the new FileSlick.
2. Install the CWM-VideoPlayer Via CWM/Recovery(Thanks Rawat for CWM-script!).
.

Awesome. I have the same trouble all the time. Great fix...

Hmm, not much interest ? CWM-Script added, thanks Rawat !

This is great, well done

This would go in this section, no?

I don't really know, they don't define "development"! Reenginering is development for me(SMALI). If it's only for ROMs then yes I guess it should be moved.
" [READ] Only actual DEV, GUIDE, HOWTO, HACK, MOD, APP & FIX topics allowed in DEV area" <- This seems to fit !

Here's a basic update.zip which overwrites it with your modded app.
I would have made a more fancy one that renames the old one to videos.apk.bak , but I'm just feeling too tired right now

umm, abolutely not.. well done on the good work, hope this is a mod other ppl will enjoy.. especially watching *videos in bed

plzz put SRS effect too... coz many users use it...
can u plzzzz make another mod with SRS not removed, as i see videos in landscape mode only and i dont need to see in portrait..
thanx..thanx... thanx a lot..

For some reason this did not work for me.
Could you simply change the name of the Activity so that this is considered another application. Then we can choose witch app to use for videos (the original, or yours), and put the tick for using it every time if we like it.
Thank you in advance!

+1 for a SRS version

Great job!

Congratulations
Just wanted to let you know of this program.

Thanks for the tip! But for me it's not only because you don't have autorotation on that it's annoying, also because that autorotation sometimes sets to the wrong position for example in bed.

Well for you it's really simple, I created it in 5 sec(only XML, no development), attached here.
It still has SRS effects, but has nothing to do with main post as it's only in landscape and won't rotate at all(landscape only). But it seems to fit with your needs. So here it is(not tested though, but should work):

Hi, can I ask which XML file you modified and which particular line you changed? Just so I can do it myself on the KK5 rom?

[DEV] update to unlimited + UI >> tabs STOCK BROWSER for i9100

UPDATE: on 22-11-2011
I could update the number of tabs that can be opened to unlimited,
there is one stupid thing that Samsung made
the number of tabs that in the widget is refereed to an image but not counter
so u will see the number of opened tabs as a digit is stuck at 8
bqz if we need to make it go on one by one we have to add image for each new tab with its value in public and also have to modify some smali files by doing additional lines in browser activity which is something stupid bqz there is no limit to stop in !
any way here is the modded file with UT (unlimited tabs) and UA (user-agent)
*****************************************
credit:
UT: me
UA:intronauta but i made all the modding for KJ3
*****************************************
no bugs so far (plz report if u faced one)
I also included the support of approximately all the languages
***********************
download and move to system/app
reboot
http://www.multiupload.com/5EPI2RCFVJ
===================
Update:
for ODEX versions delete both (browser.apk & browser.odex) from system/app
paste my modded browser.apk into system/app
reboot
===================
I spent more than a month to do this, so if u like it provide small donation and nothing bad will happen if u press thanks button

Lol nice work but why would we ever need 16 tabs??? The Max I've ever had was 5 lol

Some people are ignorant. Some people are just rude. Some people are Trolls.
These people will always exist. That is no reason for you to stop doing what you do well. Many people do appreciate your work.
Keep up the good work.

It's a nice feature to have, the phone can handle it + it's always handy to browse the subforums and open many threads for later reading, instead of going back and forth.
A feature I miss from 2.2 (Froyo) Browser was the ability to close the tab, even if it's only one. Since the browser doesn't have a dedicated home button, that was the only way to go back to home page. Can this feature be added at all? I've seen a lot of browser mods and none have this.

Aww, too bad I can't use this, I'm on stock ROM, not deodexed.
Still, this is very cool, I am hitting the "8 windows wall" quite often.
Could this maybe be compiled into a "regular app", so one can install it along the system browser and use it on any ROM?

Honestly I didn't mean to be rude, I said good work. I was just wondering if anyone actually used 16 tabs.

YAY!
It works!
Untouched (besides root) stock KI8 Samsung ROM.
The "Windows" button in the menu caps out at 8 (stays at 8 after the 8th window) and the "open new window" animation is a bit borked as well - but I don't care about those details, important thing is: 16 windows/tabs open at once

Tried it on 190dpi and you can get some weird vertical end call button thingy, so only use for 160dpi.

Gotta say...CM9 just looks so much better at 160.

good find

Thanks for this! and say I wanna go back to the 240 dpi do I just uninstall the apk?

You shouldn't have to uninstall the apk just to go back to 240. Just reset your dpi with ROM toolbox or in the build prop and reboot.

Works great on Codename but is there anyway to get the answering tab moved up a little bit so that the whole slider icon appears fully on the screen?? Right now it is still usable but only half of the icon shows up when answering the phone. No big deal and once again thanks for this apk.

Erick or someone would probably have to edit the drawable to make it fit on screen at 160. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't really have the experience to make those changes.

I wish I was ninja at messing around with the values any further, still trying to figure out how to use apk tool... complicated. Did find where I think the value that needs to be changed to fix it though:
res\values\dimens.xml
in_call_incoming_cal_widget_height
For some stupid reason I can't get it to compile. When and IF I do I'll upload the fixed version asap.

I finally got it to compile, apparently it was because I was using and older apktool thingy.
But as for the little button, I was wrong on the assumption of changing that value since changing it did nothing to move ic_in_call_touch_handle_normal, so it's something else...

sadly it says voice not supported on mine, any ideas why?

Works on Codename just fine, according to cicada. AOKP seems to be the one having the issue, although that could just be case by case basis.

It's nice that this app works for 160 pix density but is it possible to have it also fix the ghost wifi app

Can this work on mini v4

I prefer the DPI set at 200. Would it be possible to tweak this package for other DPI's? I'm not sure if it would require twice the work or just modifying some values. Thanks for your effort on this!!

My chance to ask some Noob like how do I ............

My Main question.
Be nice.
Or don't read!!!!!!!!!!
Question one. How to properly extract a keyboard from a custom rom.
or really any APK in that matter system or user apk. Is there a proper way to do it, or a way to know which apks use extra framework files and so on.
Question two of my two part main question sorta newbie post.
It gets more noob as you go on.
K question two is I am trying hard to learn to mod but im having a terible time with it. Is there a very simple basic guide to themes or to Moding Apks... speciflcy I want to invert a swiftkeyboard and I also want to learn how to take together a rom and put it back together. I don't need to become a super bad ass modder or anything ... Its just for fun but some simple theme and Rom guides would be great. BTW only ones you read your self that helped you (im not dumb I can search for all this **** my self) Im asking because I did that already and it didn't help me get very far so now im asking for help. Two more questions but if you can just answer top to I be happy. Rest are extra answer if you feel like it thanks for your time.
Next noob question is there a format SD card option on S3? or is it my rom thats missing one. I checked other roms never seem to find one. I know I can factory reset phone and it will delete sd card if I want but I dunno if its same thing.
Fast noob questions
1.What happens when you freeze a app? Will it still update?
2. If you use TIBU How many backups per app do you keep? just 1 backup per app, or two? curious
3. What rom are you using (not whats best) just right now what are you driving.... peace ((that last one was hella noob))
I have a good idea for a cool app too so if you make apps and **** pm me I tell you it... dunno might be impossible but I hate not having it in real life it would make my life more easy plus I think be fun to make let me know later

I am not a dev but i know you can pull out an apk (and any file associations) using root explorer. I have done it before for my previous phone.
I know nothing about theming unfortunately (except how to install and apply)
For formatting an sdcard I am assuming you are referring to an external micro sd. If so you should have the option under "Settings/Storage". There should be an option to "Format SDcard". If not it is a rom limitation possibly (but an odd limitation) which you need to inquire at the forum for JellyBam. If all else fails, remove and format with a desktop/laptop.
1. Freeze app = no updates
2. Your choice. How many backups per app do you want? You have the option to choose in TiBu. I personally only keep one.
3. Running stock that I have rooted and debloated and added a few mods. Thus far I am seeing the best battery life from it. Occasionally I enjoy AOKP for a time.

I know LMT launcher is available for this but i just saw this video i looks good any tired it or care to try it. I wont have my phone till next week. Link to the video and the app store where you can get the app. Video is in a different language but no need to understand.

EDIT: if you want to use LMT launcher you have to have root and root explorer to remove the soft keys. First Install LMT launcher, you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150.
*Here is the link to download the full screen toggle app so you dont have to modify the build prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
Then with root explorer Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot (credit to anirudh412 for this).

I would not recommend this app. I tried it. It worked but after reboot my phone I ended up in boot loop. It mess up with the build.prop. So if you don't have recovery it will be pain to restore phone to previous state.

This app worked well for me. Just the placement of the on screen keys would sometimes get I am the way of the software keyboards lower left and lower right most keys. But overall pretty good.

Did you modify did build prop to remove the soft keys before u installed the app? You dont need to modify the build prop for this that maybe the reason you had that boot loop.

This thing almost perfect, the only thing missing is the stock recent apps, instead it uses its own recent apps that don't allow me to remove apps that are running by swiping it to the right.

I think this one look better

Yea someone had all ready mention doing the build.prop mod to remove soft keys then installing LMT launcher, i just wanted to provided alternatives and with this you don't need to do build.prop and you all ways have a back arrow key or home button.

You need root, playing with system files requires root

I can't seem to get the recent apps button to work On the Pie control, does it work for you?
Update: I figured it out I was using 2 fullscreen apps at the same time.

you should post a little instruction. It was kind of confusing to me too

well the thing is that with the original post that i put you dont need to do any build prop mods its just installing the apps, but if you want to do the LMT launcher with removing the soft keys its been posted on other threads but ill repost it. Also i dont if a moderator can move this to the app section i posted in wrong place.

Here's what I did:
1. Root the phone with my bootloader still locked.
2. I installed the LMT Launcher app and configured the PIE controls
3. When the PIE controls are all set, I installed the app "Fullscreen Toggle"
4. Fullscreen Toggle gets rid of the softkeys but keeps the status bar on top, which I think is good.
5. I also prefer using Browser vs. Chrome, so Installed Browser apk using the instructions in the other thread for that.
Now, when I browse, I have the full screen, when I exit the browser, I no longer have wasted space by the softkeys taking up space.
I have to say, I love LMT Pie control, its fast and intuitive and its even more convenient to use the phone one handed with it. This made all the difference with this phone.

This is exactly what im doing didnt have a chance to do it yesterday, one question you got stock browser to work cuz it seemed like nobody had it working. Did you follow the instructions from the link I provided.
