Picture In Picture - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Has anyone got this working?
On my Pixel 2 XL, if I'm watching Netflix and press home, Netflix shrinks to PiP. Doing the same on my S9+ simply takes me home with no PiP.
Thanks,
Dave

This is not Pixel.

Thanks for that! ;/
I'm well aware that the S9 isn't a Pixel, but PiP is supposed to be an Oreo feature, not a Pixel exclusive!

Ye Samsung don't keep all stock features. PiP is one of the features they didn't keep.
Though it does work in Chrome. Just not in other apps like Netflix and VLC.

Actually PiP does work in VLC, if you enable it in the app settings. It also works in Google Maps.
The reason it doesn't work in Netflix is because they've only enabled it for Android 8.1, and the S9 is on 8.0.

Thanks. I didn't see it in VLC on mine. It's a cool feature that I wasn't aware of until recently.

Pixel Launcher O

Hi everyone, I have found the latest Pixel launcher O version and works with 7.1.1 Nougat at least, seems to work fine, with the new long press google sub menus.
At last we can have a google stock fix.

It works as an installable APK definitely, but still doesn't show your Google Now feed by swiping to the left, just like the older flashable file.
Am I missing something?

There's a zip, but I can't remember where I got it from.
For sub menus the long press on apps like chrome and others, they all work same as the pixel.

This may have been the thread they were referring to. (Before anyone even asks, AOD does not work on our device) I have not tried Bixby yet.

Thanks. AOD works just fine. After installation of AOD just clear cache.
I did install AOD and have no problem. I know because i try that contacts are not working. When you try to make call after contacts installation, connection will drop. For Bixby you need two more files to install. I will post them later today.

Go to applications in settings, click on 3 dots in uper-right corner, choose show system apps, navigate to TouchWiz home, click on it, and again from uper-right corner click 3 dots and uninstall updates.

Fullscreen Youtube on the Mi Mix 2

I found this in the G6 forums and it works excellent on the Mi Mix 2.
Install MicroG first https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545591117
then install the nonroot Youtube found here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=226108
Videos that dont show up fullscreen can be pinched to zoom to make them fullscreen.
I done without MicroG and that work
But I can't connect to my gmail account Is it because I haven't install MicroG ?
Or you canuse the iytbp magisk plugin. Works for me with pinch to zoom.

Worked for me non rooted and rooted. Also works on Miui and xenonhd without issue.
Works like a charm on unrooted MIUI 9 global. Thanks for sharing !
Google has officially updated the app with a pinch to fill the screen feature, no need for a custom app now. I have got the update on my mix 2. works seamlessly

Here is the updated module:

Flashable through Magisk or TWRP
Is there anyway to make it pinch to zoom automatically? A bit of a pain to do it everytime you watch a video

Downloading Netflix videos

I've read the thread on HDR content on Netflix, but I'm specifically keen to know if it's possible to download videos to a mate 10. I have an Xperia z2, which isn't compatible due to not being on the "list"
help.netflix dot com /en/node/23939
So I'd like my next phone to be, if possible. I'm aware of other methods to access content, but I'm kinda getting too old for that ****.
Thanks.
Yes, I downloaded Netflix videos on my mate 10 pro

With default settings, its quality is not better than even stock camera. The iDan version has much better quality. Only thing is that the portrait mode doesn't work.

Yes, my bad. I wasn't using the "fixed" version for ONE UI.
It works now, quality is rather good, better than on the stock camera app but far from Pixel 3 level.
The night sight mode doesn´t work, the UI of the app it´s very old
