Faster YouTube Videos Streaming on Android by Enabling ExoPlayer - ONE Themes and Apps

This WORKS FOR ME........Try it out
Actually, it’s an experimental feature inside YouTube app (version 5.5 and above) that loads loads much faster that the main app. If you have the latest version of the app on your phone, you can enable ExoPlayer using a little hack and enjoy faster YouTube videos streaming right away.
Enabling YouTube ExoPlayer​
1- First of all, make sure that the YouTube app on your phone is up-to-date. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube
2- Now install a root file explorer app on your phone. I recommend ES File Explorer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=ES+APP+Group
3- Also have busybox installed, open the app and install the busybox script. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Stephen+(Stericson)
4- Okay, now open ES File Explorer and navigate to the following path: /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs
5- Tap and hold “youtube.xml” file and open it in editor mode.
6- Now look for “<map>” string in the XML file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7- Now add the following lines immediately below <map>:
Code:
<string name="exo_player_activation_type">ADAPTIVE</string>
<boolean name="enable_exo_cache" value="true"/>
<boolean name="show_exo_player_debug_messages" value="true"/>
8- Having added the above lines, save the changes by tapping the Save button on the top bar.
9- Now exit and reboot your device.
10- When the device boots up go to Settings> Apps and tap YouTube > Force Stop button.
11- Open YouTube app

Download Android Market 3.3.12 here
If normal installation didn't work out well for you, use the method below.
Procedure to install via Root Explorer Method
1. Download the apk file from the above link to your sd card.
2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.
4. Now search for Vending.apk & rename it to Vending.apk1
5. Copy the file you just downloded to /system/app & rename it to Vending.apk
6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....
The new market is incredibly slow compared to old market on my IncS CM7. quickly reverted back to old market. doesn't seem worth it just yet.
The new, and old, Market is very fast with this App.
Im using "Google DNS".
I can't see my own apps anymore in this market
Why in the new versions, the Market doesn't remember what I installed previously !?? It would be great if there was a way to remember what I installed and redownload it after a Full WIPE for example.... Why did they took away that option from us ?!
I find the new Market v3.3.11 is faster than the old one. As what Enes_81 and Me4oKyX mentioned, the installed apps in the phone is not being seen. I think that is the only part missing in the layout but it is still accessible when you press Menu button.
Market updated
what's the lateste version?
hmm i can't revert to the old market after flashing this one..
i just updated to a pervious version , trying yours right now , thanks

TUTORIAL-Port Armv7 games to Armv6

Just developed this method (had nothing better to do ) ,but requires root acess.
DO NOT WORK WITH ALL APPS

2-Put the app in an empty folder at your SdCard.
3-Exctract it (to that folder, of course )
4-At rom toolbox, select "build.prop editor" option, and change both "ro.prodduct.cpu.abi" lines from "armeabi-v6l" to "armeabi-v7l" and change both "ro.product.brand" and "ro.product.manufacturer" lines to "LGE" and after this, change the "ro.product.model" line to "LG-P970" , press menu button and select reboot option.
5-Download the correct armv6 lib file of your game (google it) anf go to astro file manager (to the: folder of the extracted game) and go to lib/armeabi-v7l/ and delete the file if was here, now get the downloaded lib file, put it here and rename it to the name of the file you'v been deleted. Now get "multi" option and select all extracted files and select "zip", and wait it complete, after this rename the .zip file to .apk file, install and play!

(Updated)[ROOT]Official Facebook home launcher for Nexus S working!

Hi guys since the Facebook home is officially not available for our device I just used the old build.prop trick to make it work fully for my nexus S. It should work for everyone but it is not guaranteed please perform necessary backup before changing anything in system files.
Requirements -
1.Rooted Nexus S.
2.File explorer with root permissions.
3. Latest version of main Facebook app and Facebook messenger already installed.
4.Custom recovery img
I have CM10.0 stable on my phone but it should work with any ROM.Open your file manager browse with root permission - mount as writable - you will find build.prop in the system folder first make a backup of that then open build.prop in editor and edit the lines for ro.product.model/brand/device/manufacturer and in additional build properties change ro.com.google clientidbase line as screenshots below

hi i tried this and work perfectly.
it also helped me while cleaning earspeaker and hoperlor.
i opened a video about hoperlor cleaning , by the way i used alcohol and perfectly done..
Hello, I'm using this very well. Then I saw a stereo test video on YouTube, and the sound should only come from the speaker on the left, but I can hear it on the right. But the situation where only the right side has to come out is working normally.
Which line on the mixer paths xml should i change to make ringtone and notifications sound also on the top speaker?
