I use my samsung galaxy s2 to watch movies on other devices. I connect it to my dvd player, and in the dvd player. Select the movie that is located on my phone. For some reason, when I'm connected to dvd player, computer, my phone will freeze up for a few moments. Work. Then freeze again. It is rooted, with cyanogen mod. If there is anything coding I can add to it in order to fix this. Or maybe an application. Or something that will fix this. It will be much appreciated. You may email me in order to inform me. Idk if I will receive the response threw email unless emailed too. I appreciate your time and help even if there is no fix for this.
Hi,
We need more device details to point you towards help. There are several S2 models.
But I can say that many glitches will be present on anything above official 4.1.2 touchwiz firmware. If you're having troubles, it's probably best to flash the latest official stock firmware and see how it is. If it's OK, then it's a rom issue, and you should ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.
Thanks!

i got myself a samsung captivate i896 firmware 2.1 eclair.uxji2 ( i have no idea what this all means) oh and i've never rooted because i don't know what it all means and why i have to do that.
all i know is i cannot watch any videos or play any music from internet sites like radioblogclub, imeem, etc.
all i can use are youtube and crunchyroll application i installed and my music player from the phone's icon. the urmusic application which was installed when i bought the phone doesn't even startup. it waste up my space i tried to uninstall it but the installment process wasn't even done yet. so i couldn't even uninstall it much less delete it. sigh.
anyway, how can i watch videos on internet sites when i am connected to wi-fi? it keeps on asking for adobe flash player and i tried to look for it in the market and install it but it kept telling me my system requirements are not enough for the plugin to be installed. i need to install adobe flash player to be able to watch through the internet? my audio doesn't even work when i tried imeem.
please help.
You need FroYo 2.2 for Flash. Have you rooted or anything?
I suggest checking out these threads and doing some reading.

Enjoy your new phone!
Being the i869, we have something the i897' s don't have, official froyo. Download kies from either samsung site or rogers site (in support), follow the instructions on the website. Upgrade to the ofw 2.2 froyo. Start there, if you don't like that root, and try different roms.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to play divx files in-browser, i.e. to stream video files from the internet and not to play downloaded .mp4s. I've tried several apps that are supposed to do that, such as moboplayer, MXPlayer etc., and none of them worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is it impossible to use this plugin in any way on android any more?
Device: US MZ604 on stock 4.1.2. I've tried the stock browser and chrome* so far
*which apparently now doesn't support any plugins anyway...
Welp, no replies eh well..
I may have solved this issue by downloading a newer version of Flash anyway. I say may have because while the plugin now works, it seems to be very slow to load anything. Frankly, I'm out of the time (and the data allowance) to test it thoroughly, but give me a few days and I may be able to call this solved. Later then...
OK, the plugin has been tested repeatedly now and, I am pleased to say, works! So the message is: if your version of flash isn't working, delete amd sideload another one. I presume everyone knows where to go for those ersatz updates by now, but if not the answer is of course a website like http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/apk or right here on this forum
So, we can call this thread SOLVED.
Hello all!
Over the past few months, I've noticed a few quirks that came with the ics os on the tablet (Camera freezing, usb drama, ect.); So I rooted it, and loaded cyanogen 9.1. The only problem now is that I enjoyed the stock samsung media player better than apollo or any of the other music apps out there. I've tried to load the .apk and system files, but it fails to install every time.
Any information why or why not this is possible is greatly appreciated.
(If it matters, its the GT-P5113, but I doubt that has anything to do with it)

The stock rom and the CM rom have different framework.
The stock apps tend to need custom libs added to the ROM in order to run the apps. This is done on purpose to specifically prevent you from doing what you're trying to do, which is take Samsung's apps and put them on another device. (I know it's the same device, but it's no longer a Samsung device for all intents and purposes.) They didn't do this to stop you from using their apps on custom ROMs so as much as to stop you from taking their apps and putting them on say an HTC device. Their apps only work on stock Samsung ROM's so you hav eto buy a Samsung device in order to use their apps that you want. All phones and tablets with custom version of Android are set up like this, with the exception of the Google Nexus devices that are bone stock Android.
Apps from stock roms can be ported sometimes, but it takes a lot of work and a lot of developer know how to figure our how to port the libs and make them compatible with the customer ROM. It's not as simple and just copying files.
In other words, get used to a different media player. You're not ever going to see the stock one on a CM rom.
Thta said, you don't have to use the one that came with CM either. There are like 9 billion media players on the Play Store. Try a bunch out. You may find one you like even better than the stock Samsung one.
apologies if this isnt allowed here. new to the forum.

Hello all,
my first time posting on XDA, apologies in advance in case the thread isn't in the right location... I did have a search for this issue without much luck, it was never my exact issue or it there was no real answers.
Please go easy on me
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 / GT-P5110) which I'm using again after installing Lineage OS 13 custom rom to give it some new life. My issue is mainly with Netflix. The device is not rooted and I can find the Netflix app in Google Playstore. I am able to install it and it opens and runs ok as far as the menus and such are concerned. The problem is with video playback - It plays a video for some time (random) but finally it stops, and fades back to black, back out to the home menu. I did see sometimes an error message like 5.2, 5.8 or 5.10 ( and I followed advice for these from online, didn't help) but mostly it just fades to home menu like I described, with no error message.
I have been looking around for a solution to this problem but can't find one that works.
I have tried to install Magisk and Magisk Manager and then hide magisk, and it passed Safety Net, but the video problem still continues in Netflix.
Also, I've tried various other ROMs like Cyanogen Mod 11, Omni Rom, and SlimRom etc but all give the same issue
I realise this is an old device now but it's been well covered in terms of custom ROMs, even up to now.
I find it difficult to understand that there such a high-profile, very popular app like Netflix is giving this probem. There must be a solution, hopefully I just missed something.
Can you please help? Would appreciate any tips or advice!
Cheers
p.s. if @Android-Andi could take a look at my question and offer any advice, that would be great!
@Android-Andi maybe you might have some ideas about this? I'm hoping
