How to play music in background from YT using Halo
I needed this, so I searched a little, and I found a way, then made a video just to show you. Don't judge, if you dont like it, skip

I found this out pretty late too. I do it with a lot of apps, like buffering mx player in the background.
Ive read that an update is coming and that background playing is going to be possible soon with youtube

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.
Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

There are many apps that do this. But this is a great way to do not without the extra apps. Thanks OP!

Yes, there are many apps for that, but I asked myself, why using other apps when I can use original YouTube. Anyway, thanks for support and nice comments !
Does it work all the time?

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.
Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom

YouTube has always driven me nuts with this issue. Many times I just want to listen. I hope the make some changes. The TV connect always popping up in the way, the new comments system.. Etc.
Haven't tried this mod yet but sounds good.

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.
just installed those files, working well. thanks.
Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you
Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.

As the title says, what do you do or can be done?
I haven't really found any cool things to do with the tablet. Other than watching movies on a bigger screen than a phone, I haven't really used it for anything different that I can't do on my phone (albiet a bit slower)

Control your computer remotely using Splashtop 2 or TeamViewer, both for free.

+1 for Splashtop 2
If you have a Linux machine, install ConnectBot on your Nexus 7 and SSH into your home computer.
Another thing that seems to impress folks is when I use BubbleUPnP to connect to my home PC over the Internet to watch movies.
Speaking of movies and SSH, login to a Linux machine with mplayer installed and watch a movie in ASCII (works best with cartoons):
Code:
$ mplayer -vo caca Aladdin.mp4

Well it already has adb. Just open a terminal and type adb! You also can get fastboot on it (search xda for fastbootarm). And you would need a usb otg cable. Not sure if it works too well (my cable hasn't arrived yet), but you could also install Ubuntu and do it from there.

Greetings XDA! I have been a follower of XDA for a long time, but this is happens to be my first post, so I figured to commemorate it, I would share V1.0 of my Nexus 10 Arcade machine using the Icade unit! The unit has been given a massive cosmetic overall with brand new custom artwork, and will soon feature LED backlight in V2. Hope you guys enjoy it and it's good to be here! :laugh:
Since I cannot post a video link quite yet, simply type "The Nexus Arcade" in the Youtube search engine and enjoy!
Looks nice!

Thinkgeek offers them for $100, but I would try Amazon or ebay.

Again, awesome job. What games are you running on it? I love the classic style arcade games.
Over 2000 games, but some of my favorites are:
Asteroids
Galaga
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II-III
PONG
Frogger
Donkey Kong
Marvel VS Capcom
DOOM
TRON
Metal Slug
Darkstalkers
Fatal Fury
And tons More!
To see V2, search for "The Nexus Arcade V2 (Nexus 10)" in the YouTube search engine

I built a full size arcade cabinet that runs MAME - it's a lot of fun. I'd love to get MAME running on my Nexus 10, but I haven't found a version that works well full screen.
What software are you using?
Also, if anyone is interested, I ripped some sounds from Galaga (ringtone & notification) - almost guarantees your phone will sound unique.
Its running MAME 0.139. It gets the job done.
See version 2 of the device in the link above.

I realized my problem with Mame4Droid Reloaded was that I was using incompatible ROMs. I found some ROMs that were the right version.
If you're not using Mame4Droid Reloaded, what emulator are you using?
Text removed form original post:
Any chance you could send me a link to the version of MAME your using? I've tried mame4droid (can't get full screen) and mame4droid reloaded (can't get most of my ROMs to work). I was hoping to find a fairly simple solution that would let me use my existing Roms full screen.

It is running Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is the rom version. I also use Final Burn Alpha for some of the CPS-based games like Street Fighter III

This has become quite a time hog...
Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is running great. I think I might pick up a PS3 controller - seems to be the best option for a universal controller. I don't need to go the iCade route for a controller since I've already got a full size cabinet.
Researching and finding newer versions (0.139u1 compatible) of all my favorite ROMs has made me want to update my cabinet to run the same version as my tablet. I forgot how much fun messing with MAME & various front ends can be - and how quickly a lot of time can be spent.
Anyone know of an inexpensive bluetooth controller with a trackball? I so want to play my favorite arcade game ever, Marble Madness, and was disappointed to learn that MAME4droid doesn't support the Nexus 10 accelerometer. Actually, it does support it but only for left/right (driving) controls.
Good luck finding a trackball gamepad in general... FPS players have been asking for this for a few years now lol... You might be able to use a trackball mouse or keyboard though
This is awesome!
QHey there,
Today I was just roaming in my nexus' system files(running stock 4.2.2) and I ended up finding 2 videos. I ran a search in xda and on Google but nobody has ever reported them.Thought I'll just share it with the community.
They are located in

Once again if they are already known then forgive me for posting.

Sample videos. These are delivered with almost all the devices. Its like the sample videos, pictures and music on newly installed Windows
yeah, I always delete them. It's only a few mb, but they take up unnecessary space.
Those videos do actually serve a purpose, they were used in Google Talk when you're in a video chat and you enable the sunset/space backdrops. Though I imagine they'll be removed in the future now that Talk has been replaced with Hangouts (which lacks the backdrop feature)
Still they are something people normally don't know.(I guess)
how do you get it to keep playing in the background? without enabling multitasking windows, through status bar?
Thanks in advanced..
