I have reverted back to stock 2.3.6 gingerbread for the time being on my tab until mtp is integrated so that it can be used to sync from windows media player . I also missed the 5.1 sound when using it as a media player and using the docks and tv out.I tried cm9 and aokp and both were great but apart from the UI which was great didn't make up for losing the facility to play all my drm protected content and also not being able to use sky go . If any of the devs of either ics projects can incorporate something that can make these features work it would be great or if someone can make an optimized theme for the stock gingerbread rom that doesn't alter the build.prop too much that sky go and mtp doesn't break I'd be very grateful

I agree. But I only use old tab for navigation now, so not a major prob.

I put up a post about this a while back, but the thread kinda died. I tried out Cyanogenmod 7 recently and as we all know...they only have nightly versions. Nothing stable. When I tried it I liked everything EXCEPT the fact that I couldn't view my old videos. I'm not just talking about old videos taken with my blur camera. I'm talking about REALLY old videos that I took over the years with older phones. Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a fix for this. Please let me know bc I REALLY like the other aspects of CM 7. Thanks!

Haha double pasted this link lol... this is a link to vlc media player alpha, with this installed on my DX I can play all old blur videos and multiple different file types that CM7 wouldn't play, not sure but I bet it'll play your old .3gp files as well. Make sure to follow the instructions on their site to determine if your processor is neon or not, my DX and SGT are both neon, but yours may be different...

Well, I just tried it out on my stock rom before trying cyanogenmod again and vlc player wouldn't play sound on my REALLY old videos. The newer stuff would play though. Ugh....I still need a better solution to this. :-/

You might have to convert your really old 3gp's to a different format... will the stock rom play them with any player?

There are many other third party players you can try. Rockplayer and mxplayer come to mind. Worth a shot?

@hoot- yes, the stock player still plays my super old videos.
@runn- I tried mxplayer last time I had CM 7 on my phone and it didn't work. I don't remember if I tried rockplayeror not tho. Maybe it's worth a shot. If I convert my old files what should I convert them to anyway?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I would convert files to something general like maybe avi or mpg... something that any player will play... if you don't have access to a computer, I think there are apps on the market that allow you to convert files... look around a bit

I really like MIUI's music player. But Google Music is a good option also.
Stock ics music player is my favourite!

Rockbox in my opinion, have been using it on my iaudio and apple MP3 for years and now on android. It supports nearly all audio formats, provides lots of features. One drawback for the android port is that the default UI is not very good looking, but it is highly customizable and you can change it to anything if you are willing to invest some time.
I have try the mortplayer,that's so easy to use,and friendly with the folder scan,before i use that,i really love google music player,but i confused after i download some music,and i try to move to other folder,the google music can play the track,does anyone have got this problem

Ok, what I need to know is which rom will allow me full flash support, and the ability to play music that I have downloaded as I love this tablet but it feels like a three legged dog in regard to what I can do!!
Or is this when people advise that I wait for the Cyanogen rom to arrive.
there are quite a few roms in the development section that have flash player pre loaded, as for music you can just use an app to play it (not really sure what you meant by that) or you can use something like amazon mp3 if you need to play music through the cloud.
Also in terms of flash i believe the stock browsers (chrome and maybe the stock browsers) dont support flash at all
I'm currently using paranoid android rom over in original development and I'm loving it. I found the flash apk off of Google and it works perfectly with the stock browser. As well, the whole app by app screen orientation selection is super nice. It's based on a cm10 port.

I'm running stock 4.1.1 with flash. Sideload the Flash APK and install Firefox Beta.
Works
EOS was nice cause they had a good tablet mode using the normal DPI.
Now there are a few other ROMs picking that feature up. Most all worked the same. Its just about which options you want. Everything is still new so some ROMs get features before others but eventually they'll all be the same pretty much.

Let's face it android music or whatever application android offers isn't nearly comparable to ios counterpart, in fact I always found my ipod more appealing for the music because even double twist was worse.
So, it is possible to create or port ios music app?

if ou know how to code, it should be easy. its not possible to port any ios apps because its totally different os. the only possibility is to theme a music app or code a new app.
but why in the world do you want to change to ios? android is as good as it gets. ALSO i just remembered. i did a port on joyos and the joyos music player was really close to ios music player. you can download the port and copy the music player apk and move it to your phone.
those are the only possibilities that i can think of....

ok thanks I think I'll give it a shot.
anyway it's that ios feels better when it comes to play music,it's not that the interface makes it easier to search for songs,the white background etc etc.
there's too much black in android
hmm shame
Facepalm!

Any way to activate flash player.

Its not supported at all, though I haven't tried using dolphin browser. From what I know they still had a way of having flash work sometimes.

Not officially supported, you have to sideload it.

Works 100% perfect with aokp 4.2 browser , search the themes and apps thread to get a copy and directions
Just load the latest version of flash for android from adobe.com and a browser who supports the plugin e.g. firefox from market and you're fine. works great for me
I also find flash works better when you set user agent to android instead of desktop.
I'm using it with Firefox and it's great -- high frame rate, good resolution. It's almost as good as a desktop experience playing embedded videos.
