Making the Z5 Premium run at 4K all the time? - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to make the Z5 Premium to run at 4K all the time and not just when using certain apps?
TIA

Android 5.x.x does not support 4k, well see what changes in Android 6.x when it comes

Hopefully that would never happen.
Not only it will not add to the user experience, but battery life would be cut by at least half.

Doubt it, you'd have better results using a video editor to make it slow motion.

Doubtful, you'd be better off taking normal 720p video and putting it in a video editor program and adding slow mo like that. Even $300 Point and shoot cameras that have the option of taking slow mo lower the resolution to something like 3-5 MP's and the XP camera isn't really that good.

I doubt it,but even if it was, the video would be extremely dark and blurry
picture or video?
if you mean picture, try fast burst camera https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result there's also a full version of that..
if you mean video to record them slomo, maybe you need a super power..
I had a LG Viewty at some point and that phone could shoot 120 pics a second and yeah it was dark and blurry unless you shot in sunlight. It was a fun little feature, but not really usefull and i would think it would be the same for the play.

Is there an Editor for android?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Afaik there aint one for android per se. Samsung made one for some of their devices running android. Someone ripped it and posted the apk and files here on xda. I tried it on my HTC Desire HD when I had that phone. It didn't work as it needed something in the touchwiz framework.

[Q] Amazon Instant Video App

I have a first gen Kindle Fire. Definitely would love to be running a custom rom (running AOKP 4.2.2 on my phone and love it). But the one and only thing keeping me from experimenting is the lack of Amazon Instant Video app. I know this has been discussed at length, but wanted to know if any progress has been made. I am aware I can view videos from the browser, but I prefer the options run videos from the app and download them for it for viewing later if I'm not on wifi. It's one of my favorite features of the Kindle and if I run a custom rom then that is gone. Hopefully some progress has been made, but from a quick search I can't find anything.

The best thing you can do is dual-boot.

I find is crazy that a workaround hasn't been figured out, but dual booting isn't something I had thought about so that might work thanks!

Well many people have tried all sorts of workarounds, but Its something in the actual Amazon Videos app that keeps it from working,

Could a separate app be developed that does that? Of course that's coming from me. I can barely install an app much less develop one. But I'd buy more movies and shows if I was able to use it on more devices I own other than just my Kindle.

Well im sure it would be possible to, but im just going to sit and wait until the Kindle line fails, and then amazon releases the app on android.
Can somebody point me in the direction of a thorough how-to for dual booting? Im definitely over this stock launcher.

nope, only 2 or 3 phones at the moment can actualy handle that , Xperia ZU, Iphone (hah), HTC one
Maybe ION if you record in 420p for both but you will have to record in 19FPS
..ill ask a app dev i know if we can try and experiment with it

Netflix playing at 720 or 1080?

I know about the hacked apk for Netflix that was released a while back but it either does or doesn't. Is there a way to tell if something is playing at 720 or 1080.. Been trying to hack YouTube to 1080 but seems the developers for both are missing in action as the apks are months out dated.. Wanna use the screen for its full 1080p potential

i dont know if you see the difference, but for sure when you hit the airplay on chromecast they will play 1080p is the movie is available on HD.
also, make sure you have the highest setting on your netflix account
I mean it's clear and good looking but I'm looking hard at it and it's not crispy like the tv.. And yes the shows I'm looking at I know for sure are super hd aka 1080 format, signal isn't a issue as I'm pulling 30mbit down on the phone, just wondered if it's 720 or actually 1080

Is there a workaround or hack to play youtube in 60fps???

The S4 can't play youtube videos in 720/1080p 60 fps. Is there a hack to allow us to watch in 60fps???
I used my dad's note 3, and he can watch youtube in 60fps, but not my s4. I can't watch certain videos in HD when they only allow 60fps for their 720/1080p videos. Sucks.
Example. Dawkins nba videos only uses 720/1080p 60fps. So I can only watch them in 480p. Gotta be an app that works around that.

I can't even get 720p on mine. I used to have it on custom roms but I went back to stock rooted and the highest I get is 480p
go to the youtube app settings and change the limit data usage.
60fps youtube, download install root explorer, start app, accept root access, go to root directory, system, hold and press build.prop, open in text editor, find ro.product.model=SGH-M919, change the "SGH-M919" to "GT-I9505", save backout, go to app settings application manager, all, clear data for google play market and youtube, reboot.
You can have a 1080p60 option but it will freeze while sound play, so i choose gt-i9505 to only have the 72060fps option instead of frozen 108060fps, also i recon you have cm12.1 instead of touchwiz because cm12.1 is more updated and faster than touchwiz, 40fps for touchwiz and 60fps for cm12.1 with performance enabled in settings, so if you want a true 60fps playback from youtube then install cm12.1 with the instructions from above over it,
Just leave a thanks, ill appreciate.

Thank you so much. I'm gonna try it right now.
Edit: It worked. Thank you.
A lot of videos start off glitched, and the screen is gray, but all you have to do is start the video back to 0:00, and it'll act right.
Gonna hold off on CM12.1. Never trust it with GPS and data and whatnot. I'm good with 40fps for now, maybe when I feel like experimenting a little, I'll try it out.
Edit #2: Now all videos start off with weird lines, unviewable and gray, but not the end of the world. Just have to start the video back to 0:00 and back to normal video. Not a huge deal.

I was on stock Metro PCS ROM and the highest quality I'd get was 480p rare to get 720p on videos just regular not 60fps. I flashed Albe's Lollirom and I get 720p and 1080p on every video I've watched that has that option and if the video has 720p60fps I get the option to use it too. I believe it's just an option on Lollipop because on KitKat I haven't seen it. If you want to flash Lollipop Touchwiz I recommend Lollirom or Osiris. Main difference is that Lollirom has lot S6 features and Osiris is more stock but with some features. Both are really good.
Ok this sucks. Yeah it "works", but now it glitches for every video and the playing it back at 0:00 doesn't work now. Changing back to sgh m919.
Edit: nvm, you gotta play it at 720p 60fps for my way to work.

How did you get it to work flawless. I changed the build prop but the 60fps video is kinda laggy and when watching something other than 720p60 the video is all glitchy

Yeah, it lags a lot, and other than 720 fps, glitchy, but I'm talking if I want to watch it in general. Works good enough for me.
I'm tempted to flash cm 12.1, because of what the other poster said about it being optimized for youtube videos in 60fps.

I think it's just lollipop that is optimized for it. I had Lollirom and it was smooth there. Switched back to kitkat and it's laggy. I think I'll just stick with KitKat because I get better performance in games than with lollipop. I would go with CM but the camera isn't really good compared to when using TouchWiz and the Samsung features aren't there.

Yeah, I prefer stock, because too many bugs with CM. I read an article that KitKat is the best you're gonna get with s4, in terms of having the latest stuff with no bugs.
And yeah, cm camera sucks. I'll just live with the laggy 60fps, and probably py change my buildprop back to sgh m919 if I can't stand it anymore.

I feel that Lollipop is better in some ways but in performance and heating (lollipop heats up a lot for me) KitKat is better. My phone doesn't heat up a lot and games run better than with lollipop

It's not that bad. If you'd like to try it out what I would do is make a backup in two and have it to save to the SD Card and then flash a lollipop rom. That way if you don't like it you can just restore everything you had before you flashed lollipop.

I know it's been a long time lol but I went back to stock firmware because of problems I was having with my SIM card.... just flashed Hispasian ROM an hour ago and it has 720p60fps. No problems with it at all. There's also 1080p60 but the video just freezes.
