[Q] Newer Youtube app distorts videos - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm installed CyanogenMod 10.2 (10.2-20131209) on my 32GB Touchpad today and I'm having a small issue with Youtube. It seems like beginning with Youtube version 5, I am getting pixelated videos. It's almost as if the aspect ratio is wrong or something is out of whack. I've also tried the Evervolv ROM 4.3.1 and it has the same issue. Is this a known issue on the Touchpad with Youtube v.5 or is anybody else getting this. Also note that Youtube v3 and v4 both work fine and there is no pixelation. Any help would be appreciated. Take a look at the screenshots below at 100% zoom to see what I mean.

That's because the top image is an older version of the YouTube app that had the HD button on the interface. The new version had it as an OSD that goes away after pressing. Trust me when I say they were both in HD mode.

Did you try a newer nightly?
Did you update YouTube to v.5.3.32
Recommend posting your issue in the CM10.2 thread.

Android 2.3 complete look with Cyanogenmod 7

Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.
Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.
Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?

Have you tried a factory restore? It seems something software related that can (normally) be fixed with a hard reset. Never seen this error before though...

Snapchat on LG L90?

I have been using Snapchat frequently, but I have noticed that ever since a month ago, when I specifically record videos on Snapchat, there is a black bar on the top and bottom, I am assuming the aspect ratio is off? You can't change the camera settings via the Snapchat app, so I was wondering what could be causing this...
It takes pictures fine though. Really would like to fix this issue, as it is awkward sending a video via Snapchat with black bars making it look like as if I am using some type of ancient phone...
Can you send a screenshot so that we can see what you are seeing? AFAIK it may be an update affecting video

Sorry I just saw this! So I took a random picture of the Chicago Skyline via Google Images (if for some reason this post gets flagged, the original picture can be found here: http://monkeywrenchplumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/IMG_44852.jpg).
Anywho, this is how videos on Snapchat turn out (again, I didn't take this picture!) but basically, imagine that picture was a normal 10 second video on Snapchat, that is how the video is usually outputted as, with the two black bars:

Strange ghost-like overlay

Hello everybody,
I installed fresh AICP rom on my s3 ( 4g, I9305), and everything works just fine ( had to fiddle a bit with a modem firmware, but in the end everything run just fine...)
Until I noticed ( with my sharp eyes ) that there's an almost invisible overlay covering lower portion of the screen...
I checked all the settings more than once and couldn't find a reason...
Then I flashed two more different rom's ( lineage and RR), same thing... Full wipe, clean install, first boot.. and the ghost overlay was there from the beginning.
Then one more time flashing AICP ( I kinda like it the most...), took some photos, crank the levels in Photoshop and voila... No more no less it's a ghost keyboard, not possible to interact with it in any way... but present everywhere...
Anyone has a clue why this ghost keyboard is there, and how to remove it?

Ok, it looks like it took me a little bit of googling to learn new thing.
Screen burn-in...
I guess that's the reason. And since it's a "natural" kind of thing for (am)oled displays...
I'll leave the thread just in case someone knows how to magically fix this
You can try this little app here
Just run it a few hours. It doesn't fix the problem totally but it helped a lot in my I9300. Now I barely notice the burn-in that my phone has in the status bar.
Will try it tonight... Thanks for the heads up.

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​

This device has only a rear flash.
Yeah, useless for our device, thanks anyway.
I would like a notification flash

I actually just flashed a zip in TWRP that enabled the notification LED by the speaker grill. Its pretty nifty to have a notify light again to blink when I have something to see. Really, I just wanted it to for charging purposes (I have some cables that are starting to go and I want to know if my phone stops charging without touching it, since that sometimes knocks it back into place temporarily), but the notify blinker is a happy side effect.
Got it from mods section on this page:
