Mod suggestion: picture in picture - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I was messing around with my buddy galaxy s3 and I noticed they can do this picture in picture kind of thing where they can minimize the video and still use other functions on their phone. I was wondering if anyone can implement this mod in their room or even make it available for the EVO.

? you mean minimize a playing video and have it still play in the background? or be recording a video and then minimize while recording to do something else? im not quite sure what you are trying to get at here haha think you can find an example somewhere?

Watching video and minimize it
Sent from the euphoric state of my mind

or maybe he means this? i can do this with my computer monitor but it requires 2 different sources for video. so i can have my computer video full screen (via a dvi connection) but then have lets say a xbox playing in a small corner at the top through a different cable such as hdmi. looks something like this

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.

Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though

Only catches are that it's $1.79 and I've never used it.

YouTube HD App

Anyone know if it will work? I pulled one from an Evo ROM, but it said it couldn't be installed. Would be nice to have it play in the highest def as default.
I used the one from cm 5.0.8. Worked like a charm. My girl's phone isn't rooted & she just installed the apk & upgraded the youtube app using astro
Isn't the I've from 5.0.8 just the regular one?

Right, my bad. I forgot I modded cm5.0.8 myself to have that in there from the start. Sorry about that, here's the apk I used

I'm not sure. Are you using wifi? If you are in wifi, it will default to high quality. But this option will make it default to high quality if you are on edge, 3g or wifi

Super Video, Floating & Popup

I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate
App: Supervideo (HW Decode)
I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
App: MX Player (Free)
Full screen is perfectly fine.

[Q] Hot to get Google+ videos to play in the Google+ app?

I just got my EVO LTE a few days ago, so I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet.
On my original EVO 4G, when I click on a video in the Google+ app, the video plays IN THE APP!
On this phone, it opens a web browser and takes me to the Google+ site where the video is located. And once I'm there, the video's wont play!!! Flash is installed and up to date.
I thought a file association dialogue was supposed to open and ask me which app I wanted to play the video? Is there any way short of rooting (which I don't want to do for at least several more days)??? I changed the association from the default browser to Chrome beta, but Chrome can't play the video's either.
In app associations, there is something called, "streaming link", but the only option to choose is "Streaming Media Player". That's apparently not playing them either.
Thanks.
The same thing happens to me when I click to play a youtube video.

Its because of the Apple patent. There is a mod to fix that in the development section.

Are you talking about the mod that requires root? Because I specifically asked for a way to get the app to do this without root.
I will search the dev section in the hopes you understood that.

I might be, not sure if it requires root but it probably does. Sorry, I never look for root requirements because I am always rooted.

So why then do these videos not even play in a browser? It's bad enough they don't play directly in google+, but they don't even play in the browser that opens when you click on the video!
I don't think that is because of the Apple thing.
same thing happened to me. I downloaeded MX player from the market and instaaled it. Somehow the problem is gone. I restored back the Google Video play and ask me wich player I want to chose from. Both work perfect now.
Well, I broke down and rooted today. Couldn't take it anymore.
In other news, I see Apple decided to finally update their stuff to state of the art 2010. You go, Apple!
Oh, and don't forget to file a lawsuit against Google for stealing your map idea.

Netflix now crapflix

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Yes I did. I still have the black splash and auto rotation but the main ui has changed.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.
