I tried the tvout with the offical hmdi adapter but it mirrors the tablet including the system bar, and since the resolution of the tablet is 16:10 and not 16:9 I get two black vertical stripes at both sides.
Is there a way to change this behavior? Like a full 16:9 or a 1080p out?

You'll need to change the settings on your TV to stretch the picture or zoom it, most TV's have a setting to automatically do this to hide black bars, the only problem is it alters the shapes, people end up with odd shaped heads etc
So basically there is no way to play on a tv a 16:9 fullhd video or a slidewhow without status bar? I mean, is mirroring the only one mode?
You can set this up to hide the status bar, but 16:9 is always going to be an issue as the tablet is not 16:9
Yes, but still tvout is a limited feature since I can't have an extended desktop or i.e. a slideshow played on tv while working on something on the tab...

Hang on......so you want to play a video to the TV in HD widescreen while still doing something on the tablet ?
I'm pretty sure there's no Android devices that do this
A kind of... My first aim is to play a slideshow on a tv in full screen mode, while seeing the slide's tree on the tablet and choosing which one to show in full screen on the tv.
Second aim is to disable tablet video and show only tv. It would be nice to play a 3d game on the tv, but as long as the video is doubled fps are so low that it's unplayable.
FPS won't be doubled as all you're doing is doubling up the video output, not the data going through the GPU, there's plenty of video's on youtube of folks using MHL adapters to connect to a TV to play games
Yes fps won't be halved but, since a tough game is very cpu intensive, doubling the video it lags a lot more the tablet. My tablet is much more laggy even simply swiping on the home screens or app drawer when connected to a tv.
Flash motley kernel and overclock to 1.4
I believe a Nexus Q will let you send video from the tablet to the TV whilst doing other stuff on the tablet, but it costs quite a lot.
Definitely hear some unrealistic multitasking wants. Also, doesn't ICS improve hdmi out options as far as full screen video, not just mirroring?

The Galaxy note 10.1 has this function in the movieplayer to only show the video while controls are shown on the tablet. This is exactly what you are asking if i understand you correctly.
I'm also looking for more possibilities in this area. Being able to see the picture Gallery while only showing the last picture (or non at the start) would be amazing!
If i find anything i will share it here
Hello,
I'm on the latest OTA update and I can't use these apps.
Filmic pro does not allow me to use 24fps (always goes to 30fps). When I choose the Force FPS option it does 24fps (but this is experimental). My videos shot in 4K are worse in quality than 1080p in native camera app. I talked with the support and they said that i'm the only one with P20 Pro with such a problem. Did any of you use this app and had such problems? Can you share a sample video?
Here is my sample from filmic pro (1080p and 4k video): https://we.tl/s-q5TPnIuzJg
In Cinema 4K it never records in 24fps, and the app crashes every time I try to use flat color profile.
Is my device broken?

filmic is not using camera SDK for huawei ( or something like that)
you cannot use 3x zoom camera only main one and if you compare 4k filmic and 4k native (other camera app) 100% crop filmic looks like upscaled 1080p- quality is much worse.
i am using open camera app - at least i can use zoom camera and bitrate is decent 80mbit (max what p20 pro supports).
but whend testing the phone and shooting grass while walking (lot af moving objects) biterate is around 100mbit, when shooting static picture with some pans bitrate is 40-60mbit. i was using 150mbit hevc on galaxy s7 and it is always 150mbit in the dark when recording fast scenes or static objects. with huawei i want high bitrate in night scenes to reduce compression artefacts because of high iso and phone lowers it actualy which is dissapointing.
this phone is very bad for video. old galaxy s7 was much better and has ois.
for photography it is okif you use raw/ bw camera bud also here compression is too high. but actually i think it's only phonefor now that can bring output quality bit closer to nokia 808 output.
Thanks for the reply - that's sad that "the best camera phone" is that hard to use.
When I first booted the phone, it showed a screen demo about the new features, like 2K resolution, 120hz refresh rate, SDR to HDR, memc etc. It was kind of cool. Where can I find it?
I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...
I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.
Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.
I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
Hello
I have just bought a tab s8+, and videos played in fullscreen seem to be aggressively oversharpened (no issue in popup view).
It is noticeable when upscaling is involved, especially when the video resolution is at 1080p or below, causing a lot of ringing artifacts (mainly white lines around black borders). The image seems quite unnatural.
One way I have found to disable this post-processing is to use VLC, and in the settings set hw acceleration to be used only for decoding (as opposed to the "full" setting).
However, this post-processing is still enabled for other video apps (Youtube, Amazon, TV...).
Has anyone noticed the same thing, and is there any setting or way (adb, root...) to correct this behavior ?
Thanks
