modified VLC media player for 5th gen Fire7 - Fire Themes and Apps

Although the Fire7's display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, videos are always stretched with black bars at top and bottom due to its non-square pixels. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO 5TH GEN FIRE7!!!)
I slightly modified VLC to compensate for that error.
Please note that this only works for hardware decoded videos (h264, h265 but not webm)!
It's based on the latest beta version and I changed package name and icon so you can run it side-by-side with the official version.
Hope you like it...
updated to latest beta [3.0.5]:

Thanks dude!!!! Will you be updating this periodically?
Also the link is dead. If you wouldn't mind uploading to AFH or something it would be greatly appreciated.

Interest seemed rather limited but I did just upload an updated version.
Developer access is needed to upload files to AFH! I am however open to alternatives...

You have to request developer access and give reasons why you need it - like - what devices are you going to support.
I did request it but as this is really useful to a single device only I'm not expecting them to grant it.
What do you think about the new player hud buttons? Which ones do you prefer?

Well I hadn't gotten a chance to test the old version to see the old buttons since the link expired so I can't really say. I think it looks good to me though. Maybe you could upload to mediafire or Mega in the future?

Okay, I see. It had the original vlc buttons. I didn't like them as the stretching is very apparent with round buttons.
I will use one of the two you suggested although the 30 day expiry could be a good motivation to update regularly

Suspect not but even if it were technically possible no one is investing that kind of development effort in this device.

Do you know if it would be possible to implement this for a ROM? Like system wide? So that it would correct it for the entire system instead of just VLC?

Thanks for that very useful reply! Despite the original posters claims I was trying to gather the opinions of others before I installed the software on my phone.
Clearly you're either new to the internet or have so much money that you can risk your expensive phone by installing unreliable software.

I believe he's asking if he needs the internet/data package from his carrier in order to use this. I believe the answer is no. The GPS in this software doesn't connect to the internet like google maps does.
Aha I understand, I was thinking about the same. The answer is no, you don't need internet/data package

Currently, Ventriloid and Mangler are non functional for the Android JB firmware. Although the Ventriloid dev has posted a temp fix in the app description, it crashes alot and will not serve much use for me. Is it possible for someone to post a fixed app or a way to access vent on JB?

Just wanted to jump in and mention that I am having issues too. Samsung SII, cm10. When I start ventriloid is initially says connecting, but then very often goes back to mobile's home screen. It then leaves a notification bar entry saying that it is connected. When you click on that, it does its two vibrates and goes off entirely. Sometimes I can get it going again, but is very fiddly. Dont know if this helps. Hope so.

Have downloaded and it seems to work well. (Did loose the Ventriloid icon though!) One comment: One must tick the box Enable Global Push to Talk in order to see key. That is fine, but it does cover up part of you keyboard if you, for example, need to type in a password for a channel. Not a problem, but thought I would at least mention it.).:good:

I'm glad it's working for you I'm working on a complete UI overhaul and that global push to talk was more or less a proof of concept for being able to talk outside of the app. Android has limitations for hardware key interception that won't allow push to talk while the app is in the background, so hopefully people will enjoy this new button. It will eventually be a bar with other options that can be hidden. Thanks so much for testing, I'm glad the ICS/JB fix is working.

Bet you'll be heavily contributing to the FTV(S) sceen. Welcome aboard.
After your done playing with the Spectrum App. If you get bored or have some time. Maybe you can take a look at the ATT UVerse apps (FireTV & PlayStore) to see if they can be modded. Specially to bypass the root check.
I can quickly test any mod you send/post. PM me any time.
Here are some mods that might help on Spectrum & other apps too:

Thank you my friend! With TWC switching to Spectrum, am losing channels left and right, and now a set top box is needed on every TV.. No thanks, I was happy with my 2-71 channels with just a direct cable, so the FireStick was something I wanted anyway, so I decided to pull the trigger on it, to quickly find out the app is supported :silly::laugh:
Hopefully myself or someone else can get this sorted out as it's a great MOD that was created and I hope I can revive it. There is so much info though, and just making the ones today took hours, but the confusion is that I am making literally the same edits as the app that is linked here into the new app but yet it just isn't taking, so maybe some new checks are in place, but I couldn't find them. But with a device for myself to test will save some good time, and it's always a good learning experience.
I know how it goes. To me the process or learning experience can be even more fun or rewarding then even a positive outcome. Gotta enjoy the road. Not just the destination. I've been in the FTV(S) sceen for over two years. And it's been a blast. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. As much fun as it's been. This relatively cheap devices really solved a ton of content access problems too.

Customize Always On Display?

Does anyone know if it's possible to customize the always on display? I'm rooted and have Xposed, so if there's any Magisk module or Xposed mod anyone knows of, please share
I don't need to see the alarm info on my AOD, I'd rather have it replaced with battery info, and I'd like to have a mobile/WiFi icon (whichever is active).
It would also be nice to have charging info as well, but I haven't been able to find any app/mod/module that does something like this. Any info would be appreciated
Anyone? :crying:
This will very nice....
Well, as far as i know that is not possible.
However, It is possible to show it where the "NowPlaying"-Text appears.
I could try to build an App that shows the Battery-percentage at that place, but i don't know if that's still meaningful since Android P is coming up and already has that implemented. Would you be interested?
Well, the Icons are just placeholders - but take this as a hint to what is (maybe) coming up soon.

Maybe not with an Xposed module, but a developer I'm guessing could use OMS with substratum to theme it? It is possible to edit it with OMS, although to what extent I'm not sure, I'm not a developer. Here is a clock theme that changes the AOD clock: Google Play
As a side note, I'm not sure if the developer intended it to edit the AOD, as it's for the lockscreen clock, but it changes the AOD one. At least with the options I selected in substratum.

Sadly, over the weekend I can't finish this, since I got a house that needs some work, and later today I'm off for a great time in a musical.
But i already made the App open source since I wrote the first line of code for it. So if anyone here knows how to contribute in the actual Development, hit me up and I'll send you my Repo. ?

Hey can I test this app too?
So, I guess I've got enough Testers now.
Just to give a quick update to all of you:
This week I did literally nothing on the App as I was at the ophthalmologist (eye doctor), needed to clean up my House, get my Car trough the main inspection and beside all that I got a regular Job I need to go to. :silly:
But I got my Phone back - nearly no blue shift, nearly no black crush, and my speaker rattle is gone! :highfive:
This evening I'm going out with my girlfriend. So I may be able to get back to work on the App today for an hour or so. I'll keep you updated!

Redmi Note 8 pro Netflix can't play HD content.

I just got this phone today and found out that it could not play anything in Netflix in HD. In "test patterns", it only maxes out at 540p with a really low bit rate.
I have done numurous research on different versions of Netflix, but none really worked, not even the modded ones for the Poco phone F1 originally.
The Redmi note 8 pro has widevine L1 and is supposed to play Netflix in HD with no problem, but it couldn't. Anyone has a solution to this problem? And would this problem be solved? I really don't want to wait like how the Poco phone users waited 4 months for that widevine update.
Thanks in advance.

As I haven't Netflix account, I can't test...
Tried Netflix through Kodi, still only got 540 resolution.. even though I checked 4k etc.
Any solutions other than that?
We really need to get more people to know about this problem so the developers could fix this asap, is a serious problem
How did you check the resolution? I want to test mine

Search test patterns in Netflix. Click on the videos and look at the numbers on the top of your screen.

I think it's a chipset related issue, because of Mediatek compatibility.

I don't think so. Mediatek phones are the worst updating/fixing their issues.
