[Q] Gtalk video chat after root on D3? - Motorola Droid 3

Is it possible to install a custom version of Gtalk now that we have root on the D3?
Update: So, this has just become possible, but it's not a custom version, it's pretty legit since it was pulled from the leaked OTA update that was just released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243421

Stop reading my mind ! I was about to open a thread for the exact same question ! I'd try it in a heartbeat if we had a SBF to fallback on.... but..meh.
UPDATE/HOW TO INSTALL : See post #12 of this thread. Files are included. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17181195&postcount=12

Gtalk w/ video pulled from the OTA leak...
So, according to dincodee's post on the thread below, we should be able to pull the gtalk version from the leaked OTA update and install it over the existing gtalk installed on our phones along w/ tossing the file 'libtalk_jni.so' into the system/lib folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243421
I haven't tried this, I'm in the process of downloading the update on my phone since I'm at work right now.
Update: I just tried this and it worked just fine without any issues. I haven't actually tried a video call yet since I'm at work. I will try and report back later.

so i tried pulling the apk and the lib file. everything installed fine but when i try to video chat it instantly FCs =[

Did you have any issues copying the libtalk_jni.so file into the system/lib folder? That folder requires read/write priveleges.

no problem at all. did it straight thru root explorer

Not sure what to tell you, I haven't been able to get a force close while video chatting. Does it matter who you video chat with or all contacts?

nope its with everyone. once i hit the video button it the app resets.
did you change the permissions at all?

wooooooo. it worked! extracted the files and put them in dropbox. used ES File Explorer to copy the files to the right spot. Opened the Talk2.apk so it installed and boo. now i have all the camera options. no one to video talk with tho
nosaturn on gtalk

I didn't change any file permissions. I'd say you may want to double check your file paths again.

I did the whole install - and it works fine. Grainy, but about what I would expect over 3g.

ZIP File
Good day to all of you.
I extracted the following files from the D3 update, tried it on my XT860, works ! Didn't get to video chat, but I assume that it should work.
Download link :
https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6768596_8_704484461
Content :
- libtalk_jni.so
- Talk2.apk
Installation :
- Renamed both original files to .bak.
- Copied Talk2.apk to /system/app/
- Copied libtalk_jni.so to /system/lib/
- Rebooted (just in case)
This might not be necessary, but I've set permissions in Root Explorer for each files to :
[X][X][ ]
[X][ ][ ]
[X][ ][ ]
Enjoy !

Fascinate Live Wallpapers Leaked

This is great news! Currently you have to flash them, but I'm sure some of you on here would know how to make them downloadable on this forum for us or straight from the android market itself.
You can read all about the article here
Also, download the files to be flashed right here
Anyone think they can make these downloadable instead of having to flash them to have them?
ATTENTION!
Some people are having problems flashing this. Luckily Xfactor520 created another method.
"update.zip method didnt work neither did installing .apk ...i got them working on my captivate by copying lib to system/lib and the apks to data/app with root explorer.
then they work fine."
I tried flashing these, but nothing happened. Is there a trick to getting them to show up?

Well there is a lot of little stuff you need to be careful of.
for instance "unplug the USB cable during this step, as some users are reporting problems flashing recovery while plugged in"
Its pretty straight forward as I can tell, its like flashing anything else.
Just follow every step precisely and you will get the result you are looking for. It took me a few tries to do it right. I got a little frustrated and didn't give up, but now I have these wonderful new live backgrounds
Read through the comments on the guide's website, there were a lot of questions asked and they were answered, maybe it will help you

Ever since I installed this, ring tone selection crashes android system and I have to reboot. Usually happens after 2nd or 3rd selection. Amy ideas why/how to fix? Haven't checked logs yet

No idea why at all, unless for some reason the files didn't copy over... have you tried flashing again? The script doesn't do anything except remove the old sound files and add the new ones.
Updated this with new FroYo sounds (some Samsung ui sounds). The .zip is not yet CWM3 compatible, that will come soon. If you have changed the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak or removed it, etc., then you just need to remove that file. This zip includes a TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak already, as it got included when I pulled the sounds from my phone.
I took the liberty of updating this package.
Changes:
CWM Script now properly erases all sound files in /system/media/audio prior to copying.
Deleted Ding.ogg and Noisy_One.ogg from Ringtones as they are identical to Noises1.ogg.
Edited title tag of Noises1.ogg from Noisey One to Noisy One.

any chance of converting it from amend --> edify?
for those of you who use CWM3 and want this on your phone.
Extract contents of zip to C:\
Open CMD prompt
Browse to ADB folder
adb push C:\epic-nexus-moment_sounds_froyo_signed\system /sdcard/system
adb shell
#su
#remount rw
#cp -r /sdcard/system/media /system
edit: I flashed your zip on my epic (went back to old CWM and RFS) and it removed the system sound when you click icons and the dialpad sound

Dialpad and clicking sounds still work here. Make sure your system volume is not set to 0.
This would be awesome if it was made Edify Scrpitagible.. yes.. scriptigible. I just dropped it via root explorer into the /system/ folder
I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.

Take the files out with 7 zip and open a zip file (from a theme!! don't use the srf zip or any other "rom" zips they wipe data) you know works on cwm3. Make a backup and delete all the folders inside besides META-INF then take your old zip and copy the files over to the new zip, of course without the META-INF. Just to clarify you want the new zips META-INF folder only!
Cd's or tapes?
Noob here ....I' am unable to find a zip file which is not a rom file...i wanted to follow the above mentioned procedure of modifying the zip file for using it on CWM3x. Can you tell me which is teh appropriate zip file which i can use for modification so that i can restore the default ringtones of EPIC 4G.
I flashed the legendary rom and saw that many ringtones have been taken off...i want to have stock ringtones back on my system
Grab a flashable theme zip and use that.....
Just make sure inside that zip once you delete out the "theme" contents you leave the META-INF file/folder...
Then make a folder of you own in called
/system
Then inside /system make one called
/media
then inside /system/media/ make one called
/audio
Then place the appropriate folders containing either
/alarms
/notifications
/ringtones
/ui
inside that /audio directory....
Close it up and flash it...
If that is too much for you to follow... Just use this zip I'm providing below..
Blank Flashable
Just open it with WinRaR or WinZip and you will see all the folders in place exactly as I described... Place your contents in the appropriate folders and flash..
followed exactly as mentioned above, downloaded the zip file, opened it and copied the tones as suggested and flashed my phone....the tones did not turn up in the list but i ended up loosing facebook, gmail and couple of other apps !....what could have gone wrong ?

Not sure... There is nothing there in that "Blank Flashable" except for the META-INF file with your standard install scripts and then I created the folders & path to the media/audio/
Not to sure what you could have done to cause FB, GMail and others to be lost as a result of that zip file...
BTW, you did make a Nandroid Backup before flashing as normal rule of thumb correct?
FYI, any other devs, etc... willing to verify the zip I posted has nothing to do with erasing/removing those apps described by the member please feel free to do so...

Asus Writing App - Pulled for xoom?!

Hey Guys,
Asus just came out with a new writing app for their transformer (I believe?)

Thanks in advance

Im assuming you have a file manager installed (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer)
You have to long press the app, after moving into proper folder /sysstem/app/ and set the same permissions as the others (I cant remember which ones they are exactly but you will be able to tell once in the file system).

You didnt follow the instructions. You shouldnt be trying to install anything because the .apk's are not signed.
However, if you move supernote.apk and supernote.odex into system/app and set proper permissions and then reboot it will work.
still cant install this app. I move both supernote.apk and supernote.odex to system/app. try to set permission in many different ways, but this app still not be installed. i guess i give up.

Are you setting the permissions exactly the same as all other apps in system/app and are you rebooting?
I cant remember which set worked for me - I downloaded the Dump and the ROM but I know one didnt work.

Yes, there are two types of permission: rw-rw-rw and rw-r-r. I alredy tried and reboot but still didnt work. I download the dump image. Trying down the Rom now.

Ok. Using the .apk from the ROM, i got the app installed but FC upon opening.

finally, got the app working.
+ get the app from ROM link, not the dump link
+ copy supernote.apk to sytem/app

[Q] Locating a deodexed copy of BlurEmail.apk

I've been searching through here and over on RootzWiki for a Droid 3 copy of BlurEmail.apk. I haven't successfully been able to locate the file or a dump containing the file that I'm confident will work. I am a noob and I apologize for that, hopefully this question hasn't been asked and answered a million times, though if it has I can't find it. I've been looking for the last three hours I promise, I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I have BlurEmail.apk and BlurEmail.odex that I know works on my phone out of my backup prior to installing Steel Droid. Can I deodex this myself, or am I able to just drop both of these files into /system/app and be back in business?
You would have to deodex to use in a rom that is deodexed all ready.
I had to do this as well, needed email on steel droid. Just download Monster Rom bloated, and then you can pull it out of there.
1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.

I'm using the email.apk file taken from a Desire Z cyanogen rom, I consider it way better than blur email because I can mix the accounts and assign a custom color for every inbox.
I've just deleted the blur email and copied the email.apk in the system/app folder

I had been able to locate that post you quoted for directions on how to do it, which are straight forward. I'm just having trouble finding a BlurEmail.apk, email.apk, or Messaging.apk that when used in coordination with these instructions gets me to a corporate e-mail inbox. I'll keep downloading different ROM's and trying different ones I guess until I can find one that works for me.
If I ever get to that point I'll attach it to a follow-up post so if someone finds themselves in my shoes later they can just pull that down and be set.
Okay, finally found what I needed to get back working with corporate e-mail. I can't attach to this post unfortunately, nor am I allowed to post links in a post so... I'm throwing this archive up on one of my boxes so if someone else needs it they can maybe find it faster than I did.

[4.3] 1/14/14 i537 AT&T OTA file

This is the .cfg file of the 4.3 OTA for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i537) from AT&T on 1/14/14 for those who are unable to receive OTA because they are not on MF3. (The file doesn't download as a zip via OTA)
Using this on another device would likely cause problems so I wouldn't suggest it.
Also, I did not update because I want to keep root.
Instructions:
1) Download the .cfg file (links below)
2) Copy it over to your phone's internal storage
3) Using a root manager app like 'ES File Manager' or 'Root Browser', copy the .cfg file from internal storage to /data/fota
4) Make sure you have KNOXAgent.apk and wssyncmldm.apk in /system/app for this to take place. A lot of people either changed the name, deleted, or moved the apk for rooted purposes.
**If you replaced Knox and wssync, you MUST reboot for effects to take place since the odex tells the apk what to do on boot**<<
5) Go to Settings>More>About Device>Software Updates>Continue Update
OR the method below which worked for some people (I can't confirm this works or not)
1) Download .cfg file (links below)
2) Change file to a .zip
3) Copy to phone's external storage (the internal will get wiped)
4) Flash via regular recovery
MD5 for .cfg file: F43D00ABDC4FE4D5BFB305CC6598FEB3
If you run into any problems, I won't be much help since I'm not a dev.
REMEMBER! You will lose root with the update. Don't say you didn't know because the warning is here<<<<

MD5 of odex: 98AAD9BC93626B15ACEB8EDA51048D13
Please make a copy of your original .odex files if you have them in case something goes wrong. Not responsible if anything does. Again these files are for the i537.

On MF2 with my fingers crossed that this update to 4.3 is real.
Anyone gone through the process?

Loading it to Google Drive right now. Bandwidth got capped on Dropbox, any suggestions for a place to upload it?
Would it be possible to get some help getting some stock files from the /system/app folder? I modded/removed a few of the stock apps and seem to have lost a big chunk of my original backups. I believe these apps are why the update fails for me as the updater script checks a bunch of the files SHA1 checksums. Seeing as on my phone these apps are missing or modded I figured if I could acquire the stock copies it may finally work.
Files I need, and corresponding odex if possible: (a full copy of the /system/app folder would be awesome if possible)
Blurb.apk
Chrome.apk
Flipboard.apk
Peel.apk
Phonesky.apk
PlusOne.apk
SamsungWatchON.apk
SecLauncher3.apk
I may also need "/system/media/shutdown.qmg" because I know at one time I had changed it, but I cant for the life of me remember if I put the original back
tried everything followed to a T n the option to continue the update is greyed out still
Won't work?
Continue update is still greyed out for me too...
I was on stock MF3 and rooted with activeroot only so I could copy this to the /data/fota folder.
Ditto with winters setup

hello friends, anyone know if I can install this rom in I537 another operator other than at & t?
I followed the steps exactly as mentioned here and I do not get the "Continue Update" message
i´m on Telcel mexico rom mf1

This is the .cfg file of the 4.3 OTA for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i537) from AT&T on 1/14/14. (The file doesn't download as a zip via OTA)
Using this on another device would likely cause problems so I wouldn't suggest it.
Also, I did not update because I want to keep root.
Instructions:
1) Download the .cfg file (links below)
2) Copy it over to your phone's internal storage
3) Using a root manager app like 'ES File Manager' or 'Root Browser', copy the .cfg file from internal storage to /data/fota
4) Make sure you have KNOXAgent.apk and wssyncmldm.apk in /system/app for this to take place. A lot of people either changed the name, deleted, or moved the apk for rooted purposes.
5) Go to Settings>More>About Device>Software Updates>Continue Update
MD5: F43D00ABDC4FE4D5BFB305CC6598FEB3
If you run into any problems, I won't be much help since I'm not a dev.
REMEMBER! You will lose root with the update. Don't say you didn't know because the warning is here<<<<
Download of .cfg file: (maybe down if daily bandwidth is used)

I just used software update directly from the phone, did have to factory reset to get it to work, but now running 4.3.

Are you able to root with any method? It seems as though no one knows about rooting 4.3. This thread has a root method for the firmware leaked before official ota: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606550 I really need someone to test it so I know if it's safe to go to 4.3.

AFAIK you don't need to have all of those to get the update going cause I have several of those deleted since I got the phone.

I'll load the .odex files for the .apk files that I have in post #2. Save your .odex files just in case and again idk if this would do any harm to your phone so yeah #noresponsibilities

you will lose root with the official OTA and so far there's no confirmation if SafeRoot method works.

Thanks AjC - Just to be clear, do I need these files for "Continue Update" to recognize the update file? I'm confused, I made no modifications other than root in order to access data/fota.

Yup, me too. Continue Update is grayed out, even after copy and setting full permissions.
