YouTube hq

anyone know how to make YouTube play in high quality by default ? only one rom does this on its own and that's aloysus . I know when on wifi it will but I'm mostly on 3g. maybe there's on option on YouTube itself to do this ?

The version attached below will play in HQ by default.
Install through adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Install through Astro, or similar:
Code:
Place the file on your sdcard
Open Astro
Find YouTube.apk on your sdcard -> Click & Hold it -> Edit -> Move
Go to /system/app directory
Menu -> Edit -> Paste
Reboot your device
Enjoy!

Sweet. Thanks a lot.

getting the hang of using adb, worked like a charm.
thank you!

Glad to help

not sure what I did wrong but I couldn't get this to work. I didn't do ab method cause I rarely have access to a computer. did astro way and it wouldn't allow me to paste on system / app. I used Linda and that allowed me to copy / paste. I rebooted and tried YouTube but got same ole normal quality. I took a a look back at system / app and saw that YouTube apk was indeed there and it was. LOL this seems so simple and really isn't a huge deal but would be really nice for me to get this to work

Go with the ADB method, it'll work. Make sure you push, not install, install will fail with a message to the effect of same version already installed.

installed it last night, it actually makes the YouTube app worth using. where did you get the apk from?
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

If using astro or any other file manager you have to turn on the root settings. Also setup the SU and then mount the system via the app. I use ES File Explorer. Works great, in sure.

I did it with root explorer but when I rebooted the App was missing all together. Not listed in app drawer. I will give adb a shot but my adb drivers are all jacked.

Thanks for the apk.

Multi-Touch Keyboard

This is the DX keyboard and has been successfully put onto the fascinate, credit goes to adrynalyne for putting this together. This version should not give you FC errors when you reboot the phone
Needs to be flashed with clockwork!

I'm sorry how do you install this?

take a non-multi-touch keyboard and press one key then try to press another key. It will only pick up on the first key that you press.
You can type with 2 fingers but it's like you have to use one finger at a time fairly slow.

I originally installed the .apk of this keyboard and got FC's. I cleared the entire devlik cache and installed this .zip via clockwork and I'm still getting FC's. Any ideas?

Alright I figured it out. FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING A FORCE CLOSE WITH "LATIN" IN THE NAME, these are the steps that I took (if you've already flashed via clockwork):
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, this is just how I fixed this issue.
1.) Go into system/app and DELETE your DXkeyboard.apk
2.) Go into data/devlik cache and delete the line that has "DX.." in the name (i forgot what its called)
the above two steps thus far are what I DID, they may not be necessary.
3.) unzip the dxkbd file that was in the OP on your desktop
4.) go into "system" and you'll see "app" and "library"
5.) copy the .apk file and .so file from "app" and "library" respectively and put them on your sdcard
6.) using root explorer, move the .so file to system / lib
7.) using root explorer, move the .apk file to system / app
8.) DELETE "latinIME" apk and odex
9.) DELETE latintutorial (or something like that, its right under latinIME odex i believe)
10.) reboot

With the exception of deleting things, thats precisely what the package in the op does.

Android market update.

Apparently google was pushing new market update to all the android runnig phones, is th market update process working in our froyo port? I'm asking as I still have the old version of market.

Right here at attachements.

Just open the .apk with a file manager on your phone and install it.
It will replace the old Market.
Nice looking market BTW

Update doesn't work on mine...
Running Gingerbones 5.1 Odexed... Possibly due to the fact that Market is Odexed in this build.. :-(

why need update? the current market is working well on cyanogens 6.1, or no?

Oh, god no. My phone and pushing are not a good combination.
Can't connect my phone using ADB.
When I want to start up my pc and my phone is connected, it just freezes at the Splash screne until I pull my phone out. Then it boots normally.
Yeah that's probably because it's odex'd. I don't really remember on wich one I tried. If I'm not mistaken it was on Clemsyn's Final Froyo Build.
Downloaded it somewhere off Megaupload. Got the link from some video on YouTube.

I've managed to odex the updated market, and use Terminal Emulator to transfer it to my /system partition overwriting my original market, and it seems to work. Granted I had a gapps FC at boot, but restarted without a hitch.
So far no other FCs, and Market is fully working. Though not sure how many apps I still have available. :-/

I did similar, got the file, sent it to the kaiser, odexed it, sent it back to pc.
Edited my androidinstall.tar, replace old market with new one.
Its working so well, that it detected a gmail update and installed it perfectly (no manual input).
the old market gave me errors doing that, had to manual update.

Nice
Great work

could one of you post the odexed new market?
many thanks!

same here on polaris with scoot's Kernel With Separate Cache Partition.
also no dialog to choose between charge only/hard drive/etc when connecting to booted pc via usb.
adb does work though, just make sure the drivers are installed on your pc, connect and wait for >120s before calling "adb wait-for-device". once your prompt reappears you are connected and ready for e.g. "adb shell".
use "adb kill-server" and "adb wait-for-device" when you get disconnected (not exactly stable) - i use WiFi Keyboard and WiFi File Explorer from market instead.

In ES File Explorer or your favorite file manager, navigate to the folder with the desired document in it.
Press and hold on the file, Select Send, select Docs

So I tried to install on my stock tablet. But I get a message that it can't find a Google account and it closes. How can I get it working
Tia

Seems this needs to be loaded on a phone ( tablet) that has a google login . Must check for credentials etc. Probably not work on a stock Gtab . Not sure about a custom Rom.

If you are on any Rom BUT the TnT based Roms (Stock, TnT Lite, Calk's) just go into settings, then accounts and add your google account.
If you are on any TnT based Rom, I think you will need away to enter an account (I don't think the TnT settings will allow this). Try loading/installing G-mail and or Google Talk.
Now that I think of it, if you have the Market running, your Tab should be registered to that account.
That APK gave me no problems with Vegan RC1

Works fine on vegan gingerbread. Thanks for the upload.

Has anyone gotten this to actually upload any documents yet? The description says you can upload documents from your device and convert to Google Docs format, and I assumed somehow I'd just be able to open a .doc or .xls file from any other app and select Docs.
Doesn't seem to work that way, at least for me, and I can't figure out any other method...

Yeah under "Quick Hints" it says you select Docs when "sharing" a file from another app. So it's what I've been fighting with all night: Quickoffice comes up, and it seems to be the only app configured to handle .doc files so there's no default I can remove.

[MOD][Comrom]How-to update to swype beta 3.0 with installer link[6/25]Updated

1. Change input method to any other keyboard.
2. In the /system/app folder, delete Swype.apk
3. In the /system/lib folder, delete libSwypeCore.so
4. In the /data/data folder, delete the com.swype.xxx folder
5. In the /data/dalvik-cache folder, delete the [email protected]@swype.... file.
6. REBOOT OR IT WON't INSTALL PROPERLY
7. Install and run the swype beta installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Installer link here http://db.tt/cD8HXlI
You also can rename the files to .xx.bak so you have a backup. This works 100% for me on Com Rom 2 after just installing today so I don't know how this will work on systems that have been used daily for a while.
I take no part if none of this works and permanently deletes swype from your phone. Your own fault.

I completely agree with you, its a complete improvement from the last version. The word suggestion window is gone and moved to a frame above the keyboard, word prediction is way more accurate, swyping is more accurate, etc.

I'm a big swype user, so thanks for the instructions...may give this a whirl.

Where can I find the swype beta installer?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

http://beta.swype.com
The biggest change (other than tablet support) with Swype 3 isn't even the much improved suggestion window or the faster and more accurate swiping: it's that Swype now does predictive tapping too.
No more need to switch between Swype and the stock keyboard or SwiftKey if you aren't in a swiping mood. That's why their tagline for 3.0 is - and I'm not making this up, just watch their promo videos - "Stroke it AND poke it."

So what color is the new swype?
Edit: My sywpe expired so im being forced to update. Instructions worked perfectly thnx.

Thanks for the instructions. Worked perfectly. Now to get used to the slightly different interface...

Thanks for putting this little tutorial out there cuz after updating to UKB2.1 the swype keyboard stopped working
I admit I might not the most brainy person when it comes to this
Had a heck of a time figuring out how to remove those system files... finally resorted to Root Explorer (paid app) to remove these files (I am sure there was a way to do it without, but I refer you to the above comment)
For some reason the swype beta likes to be authenticated twice...
and after the second authentication process, I made sure to reboot before using the keyboard...
so far it is working and I like the new keyboard... (I had better since it would take me another whole afternoon to figure out how to install the old swype keyboard)
thanks again and keep up the good work

Glad you got it worked out, but wanted to let you know not to feel bad about going to root explorer. You will likely find that you have a lot of uses for it - there is a LOT that goes on round here that having root explorer makes life a lot easier to follow...
Enjoy!

I just updated to 2.1 and my swype crapped out on me too. I've tried everything to get it working, but nothing works.
I've been trying to delete the swype.apk and other files instructed here, but they won't delete. 'don't have permission," "read only" or "Cannot Delete." I'm using Root Explorer too, and trying to switch Mount r/o to r/w, and it won't change! Someone help me! I'm going through Swype withdrawls already!
What program is everyone using to locate and delete files?
BTW, I've switched keyboards before I try to delete, still no luck.

neotrixy,
i remember having similar difficulty
try changing [mount r/o] button before you select the app you want to delete,
couldn't find a another protected system app to delete to try this again, but I was able to switch the mount button back and forth by pressing the grey button at the top of the screen
hope this helps
ps- i did find that someone posted a swype fix in the UKB thread (not sure if it works)... it is way back in the thread... but i had already switched to beta before i found it

No, i think already mentioned, for whatever reason, the button won't change to r/w. It's stuck on r/o. I don't know what the problem is, I've never had a problem like this before.
Thanks for the help though!
Any other ideas?

I think i got it fixed...I downloaded a newer version of Root Explorer, and it let me change the r/w.
Thanks guys!

ok,
It sounds like your Root Explorer program has not been granted superuser permissions yet.
I can't remember when it asked for those permissions, check in your superuser icon to see if Root Explorer is listed in there and has a green circle next to it.
I have been looking in looking around in the Root Explorer menus but don't see anything
I hope it is as easy as clicking the allow button in superuser, if not my other thought would be to uninstall and reinstall Root Explorer to see if it will ask for superuser permissions when you open it up.
good luck

Yes
Thanks for your help. I was so frustrated with Verizon having made that (or so they thought) permanent. That is so stupid they want their people stuck with an old version. Appreciate all your help. God bless in Jesus' Name.
