Any ideas how to uncensor my youtube app?

So i discovered the october ota update actually locked the Safesearch filtering option in the youtube app (it's all grayed out). Are there any ways to fix this besides just searching the vids thru the m.youtube site? It annoys me, cuz i can't find my favorite music video cuz it has 'Dickhead ' in the title!

Might try and uninstall it and get one from another build. Shocked others havent noticed. I dont use it much myself so never noticed. Just checked the one on froyo and its not locked.

Yep, AT&T blocked this. See below for the app from a Fascinate dump. I removed the AT&T one, pushed this using ADB. It's unblocked.
Enjoy!

Thanks for that definitely worked to downgrade the youtube app, but did i lose the HQ button with the old version?

Never noticed this but yes. I never use the app anyway. You could always flash Froyo and use a browser with Flash.

Also I've seen this being an issue on HTC Evo on Sprint, and also one of Motorola's Droids on Verizon so is/was every carrier doing this? It's pretty pathetic. I mean I get the idea of SafeSearch for kids but to have that turned on for everyone? Oh no I might see a video with a swear word! I'm not a child, and the "Being a Dickhead's cool" song is hardly offensive anyway. PS funny song by the way.
1.6.20(E) seems to be having this in every version. I guess the E stands for "emasculated". None of the other Youtube versions seem have the (E).

When I ask Corporate America to become my parent or protect me from evil, you'll be sure to see it in the headlines. Until then, I have two great parents, who have taught me right from wrong and how to act in public and etc.. I don't need some third party to protect me from the evils of the internet.
Give me my uncensored internet! And thanks for the fix Cappysw10!

So I went back to 1.6.20(emasculated) edition and will use the work around to search youtube's mobile site instead of through the app. But what I'm planning to do is try to talk to Samsung about this because I want to see the response. The HTC people have been blaming Sprint about this. But I heard it was fixed in Froyo... so if we can only get that..
What I think actually happened is the guys that wrote the app somehow disabled the adjustment. It could actually be a bug, instead of willful censorship like we are assuming. I've had programs in windows that have grayed menu settings based on some faulty registry settings.

There appears to be an update for the YouTube app in the market that fixes this now. It does allow you to alter the SafeSearch parameters. Check it out.

um can you be more specific about the update? like the full name so i can find it

The particular file you have will be tied to the market until the update later today, so you can comment without buying

Hi guys, much water under the bridge since we released the app, and its working better than ever! Weve added previews, format selection and share menu integration!
Please visit the thread in the OP to get the app!

I'll buy it for sure right now.... but is this even possible without root?
Sent from my HTC Evo

Universally like our app, no, its not possible without root.
Some manufacturers have used the same general backend for their own screenshot functionality, including samsung. But generally it all depends on the quality of the adb implementation.
We use our own method to read the video buffer, but its a brute force solution (which is why we need root).

Guys, im about to roll out a big update for SER with nice new features. Please be ready to test it at your leasure!

If you ever release a solution that doesn't require me to tamper with my device and possibly void the warranty let me know. I wish the market filtered root only apps out.

Right... ill be sure to remember this post you made.
In any case - you can unvoid your warranty by unrooting at any time. I would have thought you would know this, having registered in 2009.
Also, there are no non-root screenshot apps.

What's the difference between Screenshot ER and Screenshot ER 2?

For some reason Google suspended SER, so I've made a new package name and launched it again. There is no difference, apart from some bugfixes since the last version.

ATM its all up to Google. I will send anyone who has their original order number SER 2.
As you may or may not know, theres almost no direct support for the android market, so i cant say with certainty that they will eveentually restore the original SER.
It was probably one of our competitors flagging our apps. Bastards.

Hmm.. that's not very nice :/
Where should we sent the original order number to get our copy of SER 2?

finally 3g dongles work on nexus 7 with simple widget

i used this app to make my Huawei 3g dongles work on my nexus 7 and it is very simple just install the app and enter your apn of your operator connect your dongles via otg cable and it will work the app available on google play store called ppp widget here is the link it is for rooted device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget

It won't nullify it. People returned their n7s rooted and customs Roms and received their replacements. You can always unroot and return to full stock. I doubt we will ever see official support for 3g dongles.

I am from India too, got my N7 in August, I have been in the US since the last 2 years, moving back in Nov. Dont worry, Asus said they will honor N7 warranty in India. Plus N7 is launching in India in Nov for around 15k. So please dont commit sacrilege by not rooting a nexus. Its part of the Android commandments- "Thou shalt not use thine nexus unrooted."

I tried this with a friend's huawei, can't remember which model but newer than mine and it worked fine. With my E160 it goes a bit nuts, won't detect a modem and doesn't work with manual settings.
Does anyone have an E160 working with their N7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Got it, for anyone interested, sending the following at command to the modem port (use a computer to do this, use Google to find a utility for your OS, Hyper Terminal works on Windows) disables the built in SD card reader and the emulated CD ROM drive. Now it works in the N7 after a reboot.
at^u2diag=0
If you want to enable them again (and stop it working on the N7) it's
at^u2diag=255

I can confirm that this works with my 3G/UMTS ZTE K4505, commonly found in Europe (I am using it with Vodafone.de). Only had to manually set the PIN and the APN. The wiget itself is a bit finnicky with my set up - Stickmount seems to interfere when the widget is looking for an open modem port and attempts to mount the inbuilt Micro-SD reader on the stick. I simply unmount all devices via Stickmount, remove PPP widget from my home screen and then re-add it. This seems to fix the problem, I am then able to connect.
Kudos to Josua!

If you ever need to use the warranty you can unroot, or if you are really worried you can even do a complete factory restore, and nobody can ever tell that you were rooted. The only time Google/Asus is going to care is if you use the warranty and say something is wrong with their hardware but it turns out it was actually something wrong in your software (which is why it's a usually good idea to do a factory restore before sending it in, rooted or not, because doing so eliminates that variable).

PPP widget DOESN'T work with e3131 dongles. Can anyone confirm whether disabling the sd slot would solve the problem? (on the dongle, that is, not the tab)

Working fine with mine even if there's a memory card insterted. ZTE HSPA+ MF668A.
Try searching for "AT commands to disable automount of cdrom/removable media" specific to your dongle.
After that, upon inserting the dongle to your N7, it will still ask you if you wanted PPP Widget or stickmount to use. Choose "just once" and not "always". So you can use the dongle as a modem, or a removable drive anytime.

I got it working by disabling to CD drive and the SD reader with AT commands. Works flawlessly now but it didn't matter what I did before doing that, it just didn't work. Possibly different E160 firmware.

Enable removed Bluetooth tethering (Solved)

Ok, I know many of us USA users have had bluetooth tethering removed. And we all want it back.
I found this thread here that shows how to unlock it but for the Galaxy S3, I am sure the same methods would apply to us on the note3.
I have tried, but I don't have any luck recompiling the files. So if anyone wants to take the plunge and do this for us.
Here are the unmodified files for the Note3 USA TMobile
Update: I have installed and am using the DRAGONSAIR V3 rom. (Thanks AndieRoid for the info, And Thanks to dragonstalker for the ROM)

Possibly, But waiting for someone who has time to try and edit the framework to see if it unlocks.

I've checked through threads in US devices for s4 and note3, but no one seems to have much of a need to even be interested in looking into you. I'd say you'll still have more luck asking in device specific threads than here though
Your carrier may also have blocked it even if you could add it...

That would be wonderful if we could. AT&T= Lock Boot loader, so we have to do things the hard wary.

ATT Note 3 here with no native BT tethering in settings. I tried modifying the apk as per the tutorial with no luck. Going to try and decompile some framework apks from different Note 3 ROMs and compare to ATT version and see if I can make something work. Not too sure what else to do for now.
Edit:
Attempted to look at other Note 3 ROMs' frameworks-res.apk file. The tutorial says to add this entry: "<item>bnep\\d</item>" All of the Note 3 ROMs have a different entry "bt-pan" instead. Tried with both entries and neither is giving me the Bluetooth tether option so there is something else we are missing so we can get Bluetooth tether to show up.

So do you have a t-mobile Note 3 USA version? Does Bluetooth tether actually work? (Did you verify?), I now show the option, but it does not seem to work.

US cellular Phones that are Xposed ready?

so I have had a galaxy s6 for a long while as well as a galaxy4 tab tonight I attempted to go through and root and install exposed on either and had nothing but issues it seems like us cellular models in specific do not get much support. Im hoping someone else uses US cellular as their carrier and could point me to a phone they offer that has less franchise modifications and they use both twrp and xposed framework/modules with.
any help is appreciated thanx in advance
