I'm interested in a few things but haven't been able to find media hub to download on the cm10 ROM.
Does anyone know if it's possible and if so where to find media hub for download?
It may require the touchwiz framework. Not for sure on that though.

So... if you look around enough you'll find a post or two with mediahub.apk linked to them. You can install it and it will run... but it will also crash on login, possibly because you also won't have the samsung login app. So, you could download a stock rom, unzip it and find the Samsung login apk (sorry, dunno what it's called), install it and see if Media Hub will run...
Once you have it running and you login you'll then undoubtedly try to play something like... The Avengers. This will fail to unlock as ALL of the backend encrypted video playback stuff is missing in CM10. I wouldn't begin to know how to suggest putting the DRM video playback stuff back into CM10. But, if you did, then it wouldn't be CM10 - it'd have proprietary, non-open source software in it. And that kind of defeats the purpose of CM10
What you could do is to do a full Nandroid backup of CM10 and of the Stock ROM and restore/run whichever you need based on your situation. Crappy solution but I don't think there's a better one which will guarantee you full, functional Media Hub.
Thank you for the feedback.

Didn't want to post this in Android development, since this isn't a development issue. I'm running CM 7.1, which is almost perfect. My issues are truly minor, but wanted to see if anyone else had these issues, and had a workaround for them. Most of my issues are with the Gallery3D app.
-Deleting photos under the Gallery3D app doesn't actually delete them. It just removes them from the Gallery app until the next reboot. You have to actually use a file manager or plug into a PC to delete the images/videos. That seems retarded to me. Is there a hidden setting, or do I need to use a different app?
-I'm limited to 480p playback on the Gallery app, yet most of my 720p videos played back fine on the stock Sense ROM. I don't want to re-encode videos just for this device if I can avoid it.
I have other minor issues, but they escape me, so I'll post later. Any solutions to the above?

Always a good idea if you have an issue or question regarding a certain ROM to post in that ROMs thread. More times than less someone has had the same or similar issue. In this case it would be the CM7 nightlies thread.

I would try the nighty thread, located here, but here's a head start on your answer: most of us don't use the included gallery app, due to being buggy and laggy. Try quickpic from the market. It deletes my pictures just fine. As for 720, you just might have to convert them, since CM7 doesn't support it yet, but again, try quickpic first. Any future questions, feel free to post in the provided link.
When I use the ics-deck-evo-alpha5 and I try to set my wallpaper I doesn't position it right it only shows me half of my wallpaper does anyone know how to fix this problem and how to make my wallpaper scrollable with my homescreen??
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Its an alpha rom and gallery issues are one of the known bugs there wont be a fix til an update for the rom is released or someone finds a work around one way is to try a different gallery app from the market besides the stock one and scrolling wont be fixes until the rom is updated it someone builds a fix for it

Like I said ALL ICS ROMS ARE IN ALPHA STAGES THINGS ARE GONNA BE BROKEN some things will work sometimes and not work others some things wont work at all until they are fixed or new drivers are coded and compiled these ics ROMs are being built from the ground up for the evo there are no official drivers for this phone and never will be as we aren't getting the update officially its going to take time coding software doesn't occur over night it takes anywhere from a few hours to months to get stuff working on hardware that isn't officially supported
I've been running an alternate launcher called "Nova". Instructions on how to install are on the thread. I find this launcher to be more stable plus it has more options available right now, including centered scrolling wallpaper. Just search Nova Launcher if this tag doesn't work...I'm a greenhorn..

hey all,
im aware that jelly bean abandoned adobe flash, or vice versa. my question is: is there any solution for playing flash live streams using jb?
so far have tried installing flash player apk and using it with old versions of firefox beta, opera mobile 12 and dolphin 8.5.1. every time i try to test for flash, i get some laggy sound, no video and corrupted ads around.
if there is no solution, ill have to downgrade to ics and stay with it for the rest of my life
thanks
Try Google Chrome. They got flash built in.
actually, chrome that comes with jb doesnt support flash, even though desktop version has it built in
There is a an apk for jb in a different website (I believe it's android police - or something like that).
How it works? Not sure since I use aurora which is a beta browser and the video is unbearable. Could be the browser or the apk.
If you can't find it let me know and I'll upload it.
Edit: just read your post nevermind.

so i guess theres no trick out there. just thinking it was stupid of them to get rid of such a feature without providing a ready alternative. its like stopping provide petrol even though electric cars arent properly out yet
I recently upgraded to jellybam and noticed it was missing almost everything that I
needed to function with on a day to day basis and this is okay, except for some things.
I already looked allover XDA about this and noticed there really is not much on the topic
so I feel help is needed at this point.
What I am wondering the most is where is the video player...?
Also, the camera layout on jellybean sucks, is there anyway to change this?
Any help is appreciated!! Thank you
Well i guess the rom comes with lesser apps than a rom would from the factory. As for a video player i have super video and i'm sure theres a few other good ones. About the camera layout, i don't think you can change that.
Edit: And i am also running jellybam.
Did you update to a custom rom, or did you update through kies. Either way, when you updated you could have restored your phone through google and all your apps shoudl have re-downloaded onto your phone. if thats not the case, open up your play store, hit the menu button, and tap on my apps. after that you'll see a list of all the apps you've downloaded and you can re-download them.
as far as the camera on jellybean not being great, you could always flash a different camera onto your phone if you are rooted. 4.2 camera is super nice.
and i just started using MX player and its pretty nice. Free and has a lot of codecs.
In a lot of Roms you have to reflash "gapps" search XDA for latest version. It is all the Google apps.

The jellybam rom comes with gapps i think he's talking about some samsung native apps.
If you updated to a stock firmware you should get the GAPPS automatically now if you install a 3rd party ROM like AOKP or CyanogenMod you have to install GAPPS manually just Google it you can find lots of information on it online
I would love to ditch stock roms, but the lack of HDMI out is holding me back . I'm hoping the 4.3 leak may have helped, or that things have changed since my last hunt.

I don't have the capability to test that, well I do... but i haven't nor will I. I need to update that bible too... maybe this weekend if I get bored.
Doesn't the leak have TW in it? I know I can skin it to look like AOSP, but I just like having the real thing. I don't think many people use the HDMI feature because I can barely find anything about it in this entire forum/any others... @mt3g The Bible is awesome and thanks for the status update. You won't test every rom for me???
If I understand you correctly, then you'd love to go AOSP but worried the MHL Port HDMI output will break ?
If that's what you want to do, then why don't you do following.
1. Get all the hardware setup in order if not done already. This includes, Converter & HDMI Cable.
2. Test to see if the setup works with existing Touchwiz.
3. Take a Nandroid and then flash a Pure AOSP Rom, use MX Player or some other good quality player and see if the setup works again ?
If it fails, you can try VLC to mirror screens or use DLNA via your router ? You do have the option to go back via the Nandroid.

Exactly.
1 Cyanogen mod is a definite no-go on HDMI, and I found that out after I'd bought all the cables... (for anyone who finds this thread, you have to use S3 specific MHL adapters)
2 It currently works great on 4.1.2 TW Roms. I have already experimented with the 4.1 and 4.2 roms on TW and AOSP.
3 Right now once you go to 4.3 you can't go back to earlier versions (that I know already works), but at least one person did report that HDMI worked on the OTA versions. I'm just not sure if AOSP developers have/can/will be pulling HDMI drivers into their S3 builds.
I've found that using Archos Video and adding my HD as a network share is much easier than making a media server.
The extra support Samsung adds via Touchwiz framework makes it possible to do MHL Streaming for Touchwiz players. If you check, non-samsung video players have problems doing this over Touchwiz. So if you want to go aosp, you have to try DLNA (not Network Server) or Screen Replication.
I was hoping it wasn't TW specific, oh well. I'm selling my HTPC and planning on using my phone instead. Which means I will be streaming media to my phone, through the MHL port into the TV. Thanks for clarifiying it for me.
Just some food for thought if you please. Have you considered a TV Stick such as the Smartstick ? Perhaps for your setup, that may be an option.
They go for $24 right now. Link in the signature.
No I do not represent the company I develop custom Rom for it.
