Is it possible or legal for someone to rip the media player from the galaxy s, I hear its the best one on any phone at the minute especially as it plays every format that's used nowadays and stock Android is in last place for video playback out of the box.

I'm not possible but if you look in the roms section for the samsung vibrant or just galaxy s I believe there are rips of the .apk files that are initially on the device
their links to fileshares like 4shared and what not but I think that they have what you want

It doesn't work yet.

Yeah there's an issue with the whole touch wiz interface
When the media player is installed it looks for elements that are part of touch wiz 3

From what I have gathered the SGS supports a lot more video/audio formats than Nexus S out of the box (correct me if I am wrong). Will it be possible to port these codecs from the SGS over to the NS?
Video Player Nexus S
Helps. Need a video player for Nexus S. I switched from my G2 to this. With the G2, i used ArcMedia and it played pretty much anything without any conversion. Now all i get is FCs on the Nexus S. Sad panda i am right now.

[Q] How to play vidoes/movies on Nexus S?
So i was thinking about watching a movie this afternoon on my brand new Nexus S and started looking for some sort of video player under the appications. Is it true that the phone doesnt come with any kind of Video Player? How do i watch movies? What format to use for the movies? I download all my movies and they're all .avi. All the help, comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
AVI is just a container. It can hold any kind of codec inside. I heard people reccomend rockplayer is good though. Try that and report back on how it works.
Rockplayer doesn't work. Lots of players crashes on the Nexus S right now. They all need to be updated.

You're right. Nothing works at the moment. Is it true our nexus came with absolutely no video player?

When I try to open a video file from astro, among the choices of program given to me is one called "movies"; this uses the same icon as the "gallery" proram, comes preloaded on the phone, and also fails to open most video formats.
Playing M4P via Meridian and it works great.

Let me look up meridian. I guess I am gonna have to convert from avi to the extension you mentioned.

Gallery is the video player.

So is the issue that the nexus s doesn't come with an xvid codec or that apps with software decoding of the codecs like rockplayer just need to be updated ? Sorry if I'm a little dense about this.
I guess the 3rd party apps need to be updated.

So is there a specific file type that the galley plays? I just created a movie folder with 2 avi files but gallery isn't showing anything other than pictures on the same storage.

M4P is a .h264 container. Most videos on the internet or torrents for phones come in M4P format. Best quality for the size.
Most phones can play M4P right out of the box. YouTube is a big supporter of the container.

quick question regarding the camera, how do you upload videos to picasa.
I went to the gallery and hit menu to get the option to share, but I only see the option there when its photos. I thought you can upload videos also.
I could not find a way to upload on mine. I have just used "Picasa Uploader" from the market. It's free and uploads video and pictures.

Nothing that I have ran across....that would make sense to include your service in the phone.

Yeah I know.
BTW did you check the videos you uploaded on picasa from your nexus?
I just uploaded one using the same app you said, and it seems that the quality is not the same than that which was taken on the phone. Its a much lesser one.
I'm just wonder what's everyone's favorite media player app?

I have tried google music , power amp and many others. Personally I love the stock htc one.
I don't like signatures....
Google Music has worked well for me.

Google Music, followed closely by winamp.
The only thing I like about the stock HTC player is that you can operate it at lock screen and notification bar. Other than that it doesn't have anything else.

For music I am using Music 3.0, which has a background that changes colors randomly. Considering the market recognizes it as Google Music, I assume it is, even though it looks nothing like the one in the market. For video, I use MoboPlayer.

I use PowerAMP and love it, very good, customizable, great EQ with presets and the ability to make your own presets, and native FLAC support. I haven't used GoogleMusic though, I got an invite but it turns out Linux isn't supported yet and it's just too big of a pain to move my music from my laptop, I have over 100 gigs.

Have you tried installing through wine? ?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yeah but I couldn't get it to work well. Wine and I have never been good friends lol. It's very few and far between that I even think about using it. I could probably get it to run ok if I spent long enough toying with settings but with PowerAMP and a 32gig SD card I'm happy enough with how much music I have. If i ever really want something of my computer I have a VNC server set up on it that I can retrieve files over.
Is there anyway to get the music app from the galaxy player onto the infuse ??? I love it, I haven't got the player yet but am looking into it, and have seen videos of things thenplayers music app has and would like that on my infuse, they are both samsung products so I figure its possible but how to do it??

What do you think the best Android iPod touch alternative is? The device would preferably have ICS and a camera.

I would probably say Samsung Galaxy Player 5 or Samsung Galaxy Player 4 depending on which screen size your prefer they have essentially the same specs otherwise. Both have a 3.2 mp camera and while they run gingerbread you can root it and put ICS on it. Most "ipod touch" like android devices other then then the Samsung Galaxy Player series tend to unfortunately be poorly made, and laggy and buggy as hell. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0 forums would probably be a good place to start.
And this guide should be a big help:

Sony Live With Walkman? 720p vid 5mpx cam 1ghz proccessor has ICS Bravia Engine..
you could just get a nexus s 4G with a bad ESN with the ICS update
If you guys haven't heard or seen, the latest firmware upgrade of the NOTE 2 allows for 2 applications to be on the screen at the same time which means you can interact with them. For example you can have a youtube video playing in one window and searching the web in another window.
I was just wondering, would this feature ever be cooked into a ROM?
The SkyRocket is a powerful device and should be able to handle such a thing.
Would definitely love this I am pretty sure its loaded into the os so I don't think it should be too hard to port it over. Only downpart would be the smaller screen but who cares? I would def use it in the car for my torque app and spotify or navi

I would rate this as the #1 feature that I want to see in any rom. As this video shows, it's actually Really useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-G-avtGf0A

Cyanogenmod was considering something like this on ICS with CM9 (see example here) . They were talking about adding a similar service called "Cornerstone" by Onskreen, but the idea was shot down by threats from Google of "consequences" if CM implemented it on any devices that Google supported (see comment to Steve Kondik from Dianne Hackborn here).
I hope this means Google(Android) realized that it was dumb to prevent this as it was an inevitability and CM will now be able to get back to work on implementing it.
I've downloaded the video player from the apps section that allows a floating video window over the top of everything else that came from the s3. Works good.

The multi-window feature on the Note 2 is more powerful, check out the youtube video (mentioned above) to see how it works. It's awesome, a killer must have feature, really.
