Downloaded Video widget app - Acer Iconia A500

Is there an widget that will allow me to see which downloaded movies I have on my tablet in Thumbnail view.

Check out "Mizuu" from Android Market.

Thanks it is what I was looking for I had it before and love it.

Social Engine (and how it works)

Social Engine is part of TF3D.
It depences on the HTC Album.
When you install it makes 2 items in you're settings.
Second Tab. Upload item
Third Tab Account Manager.
If you have installed the Youtube Cab.
It displays a Youtube icon.
When you click right of the Youtube Icon (a door) you can put your login and passoword of youre Youtube account.
On TF3d when you click on the camera tab you see the video's and pictures.
Then when you click album is loads all your video and pictures.
(With the version of Daran and Itje, albums hangs)
If you now click on menu you see there is a possibility to upload to Youtube.
There must also be a Facebook cab. That does that for Pictures.
I haven't found it yet.

Search the Market, there's a lot of free apps there that you can choose from.
i allready did sch there
didn't find anything useful thats why i'm asking here maybe for some recomndetion
I'm using MixZing for playing music ...
funny these threads. listed as one of the main selling points of this device was mediascape. you must have read that but bought it anyway! did you not try the phone 1st? this is a prime example of why we all should! not having a go so dont start flaming! expressing my opinion. there is no app within the app store that will deliver anything near what mediascape does right now so for this phone its the best you gonna get! in time when custom roms are being made then we may see the likes of what htc have to offer. we are also currently lacking in apps that do offer more but hopefully corecodec will develop an app for android! until then and until custom roms are available i would just stick with mediascape. no matter how much you hate it, the alternatives are even worse!
edit:
some coredec images for the cp2.0 for android.

playlists
Sorry for hijacking this thread but my question is to do with mediascape.
Anyone figure out how to create playlists in mediascape yet?
The only thing I have found that comes close is starring tracks as favourites, but that only generates one list.
Am I missing something or is it not possible? Cheers.

Yeah... I don't think that's possible. Which kind of sucks but something I can live with. I mostly just use Spotify anyway.
And I also want to know about any good picture gallery. I had one but it wasn't really good at all.
Ah, fair enough. At least it's not me going daft. I was searching Google and the results were implying that you could generate lists but they must have meant that it could be done via media go software.
As far as media players go i would consider that to be a basic feature that is required (especially if you have a large library).
As for the gallery I can't say I'm too impressed with that either. However I did like the one previewed on the mini. Hopefully that will be included in future updates, if there are to be any.
Just typing this on the phone itself using the HTC keyboard. The only thing missing are the directional arrow keys, tapping the screen in the correct place is hit and miss for me.
You can generate Playlists with the Astro Filemanager, which you should have installed anyway...
Yeah I do have that instaled. I'll try that out. Cheers mate.
PiQture is pretty good photo viewer.
I found se's other music player in the phone but cant shortcut to it to use it easily.
Im using the file manager by nalic (green and blue pie chart icon). Navigate to system/media/audio/ringtones (ogg) and play one, a different player called music opens to play it, now leave the file playing and pull down the notification tray and touch the play icon then press the left menu key then library button and you are in.
Now this player will be listed in the recently used app list (hold middle button) unless it gets moved off the list by opening more than 6 more apps without opening it again to bring it to the front of the list.
I like this one better than mediascape as its less cluttered and straightforward and you can create playlists which are drag and drop editable and show up in mediascape.
It would be nice to get to it easier though.
There is also a video player and picture viewer but they are very simple with few options.

Hi
I found it too. I managed to create a shortcut on home with Tasker :

Hope this helps.
One of my main reasons for wanting the X10 is mediascape. Since I've only seen videos, and you guys actually have the X10... I'm looking forward to hearing why Mediascape is a poor media player and gallery. It certainly looks more robust and feature filled than any of the current media players I've seen.

it is possible but via media go I think, I spent ages trying to work out how to get a playlist set up but I think you have to literally set up a play list on your pc, then transfer that playlist on to the phone (?) only reason I say this is because there is a playlist option in the library in media go. Unfortunately I'd already moved my music across before noticing this so didn't want to double it up or remove it and start again.
I found an app called mortplayer which is free and works a charm for music

Or get a file manager from the market and follow my instructions above, any playlists created will be automatically integrated into mediascape.
Its easy once you suss it. !
Hi,
Anyone know how to disable the mediascape from caching thumbnail for music file ? I think this would vastly improve the speed, as mediascape would only have to read the tagging info and not the image/albumart.
I tried to set the folder as read only, but it doesn't work, the phone still write to it
Hi all - I've sussed this out (alternate Music player and playlists)... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...
All these work arounds to create playlist are fine but the main PIA is when I want to add tracks to Current Play list while listening to music. Can't be done. I hope SE will soon release a upgrade to address some of these basic issues.
Also, when you try to add contact as Shortcut on Home Screen it brings up list of all contacts and there is no search or 'letter' list on side to select the names. You can to scroll all the way down to select names. I guess SE QA and design team tested the phone only with one track of music and one contact in address book.

[Q] Gallery

Hey all, first post.
I picked up an used A7 for my daughter's birthday. Managed to follow all the instructions here to get Dexter's Elocitymod installed and installed some of the recommended apps listed in the forum. It works like a dream, thanks all involved!
I have a question regarding Gallery. I ripped three of her favourite DVDs and put them on a microSD card. Gallery recognizes the card and displays the rips as screenshots without names / titles. The menu smart key will bring up the option to see the name of the file, but is there any way to have the title display with the screenshot in Gallery? Or is there a different / replacement app for Gallery that would do this?
Thx in advance.
Give Moboplayer a try, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064795
Does Moboplayer actually organize and display pics, music and videos with their names? Or is it just a player?

Moboplayer is a video player only. Rockplayer and the default musicplayer 3.0 is all one need.
The stock player (or whatever is in Elocitymod) works fine and I may look into upgrading to one with more features later, but what I want to know is:
Are there settings that can be modified in Gallery so that when videos (or music or whatever) are expanded into the individual thumbnails/screenshots, the file names or assigned names can be shown with the thumbnails/screenshots or, if not, is there another app that does the same thing as Gallery but displays the file names or lets you assign names to associate with each thumbnail/screenshot.

New Pandora App

Just noticed there is a new pandora app in the market that also works with Xoom Wifi and it also includes resized album art. May be other things too but just downloaded. No more need for nook apk.

Google+ photos on Daydream?

One thing that I find sorely missing from Android TV are better Daydream apps. When I'm playing Pandora or Google Play Music or whatever, I would love to have a photo slideshow going on with the photos that are linked to my Google account (ideally, all of my Auto Backup photos in random order).
I'm currently using Cloud PhotoFrame EX.net, but it's... well... unpolished (?). Now, I don't mind using a mouse if I have to, but I really REALLY want a good looking slideshow up as a screensaver. Maybe there's a way to plug this into Dashclock somehow? (Though I can't seem to find ANY photo extensions for Dashclock..?)
Search chain fire in the store on the nexus player he made a cool app has cooler daydream images and so on its called 500 fire paper also there's a file browser on the store now with root access called anExplorer

Thanx - I'm pretty sure his app only uses 500px as the source, but I'll check it out. And I'm not sure how anExplorer applies to this thread? Is there a Daydream feature that I'm missing?
Idk either lol wasn't thinking on the last part, it has tons of categories though, and options for update interval controls for it to, the quality looks really good though, and I haven't seen any one else mention it sorry /:

No worries at all! I appreciate the recommendation! I was just confused... lol
You know, it's funny... the Chromecast has this feature mostly baked in to the new "Backdrop" functionality. Maybe it's still coming.
Would be cool, backdrop? What is that? Is it the showing Google photos on your account?

It's basically just the ability to customize the photos and some of the content on the Chromecast when you don't have anything connected to it at the time. Read: screensaver.
Ah I see that is cool, maybe it's just for the chromecast stick right now? Seems like it since the chromecast app doesn't find my nexus player, Hopefully they do it for the nexus player though it'd be cool
Hey guys, I noticed with the latest version of Google photos, it is compatible with the nexus player, and now adds the option to daydream settings. But when I set it, it doesnt work, tells me there are no photos selected. I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an album or collection down to the nexus player. Any one get this working?

It seems like the Photo app is not designed for Android TV. The remote does not work, I had to navigate with mouse.
If you use the daydream on smartphone, there is a settings button for google photos where you can select pictures. That button is absent on Android TV daydream settings.

I have noticed this too and cannot figure out how to get photos to come up on Daydream, I get "no photos selected" as well when it kicks in.
coming from a chromecast, it really makes me sad I can't just go pick a bunch of my family google+ photo albums to display in daydream mode Hope they add this soon.
Me Frame - Digital photo frame
I use "Me Frame - Digital photo frame" to daydream my google+ Photos. I had to sideload it.
Sorry cant link yet. Hope That Helps.
Personalised Photos Daydream on Android TV Daydream
We've written an app for Android TV that is designed to look and feel like the default Google Daydream/Backdrop. It can show photos from 500px, as well as your own photos from Google, Facebook and Flickr. Sorry I'm not allowed to post links on this forum yet, but if you search "furnaghan photo screensaver" you'll find it!
