Fix for Android Video Streaming Fullscreen Problem

After installing a custom AOSP ROM, I noticed an annoying bug in the video streaming, certain videos played fine in full screen but others only showed a picture, for a split second, when on the transition from turning portrait to landscape.

I needed a fix for having a black screen in full screen video and Google was crappy with help.

I discovered the developer options, where I experimented with different options, finding luck with this:
Set
Disable hardware overlays ON

It seems that video streaming can function without the broken cogs in my Custom ROM, by seemingly using a preferred non-hardware overlay player.

NOTICE : Using ART can brick your phone, failing on the transition from Dalvik.
