Hi!
I jzt wanted to know if someone could help me with one feature that these new firmwares have. Once I turn off the screen, youtube stops playing. I really liked before that I could turn the screen off and still listen youtube in the earlier versions. I dunno if the playback gets cut off because of the new firmware or if it's a new feature in newer youtube apps, but's I'd really like to be able to listen youtube while the screen is off. Any tips? Thnx!
First off yourll have to say if your rooted or not or on a custom ROM or not.To me it sounds like your on a stock unrooted Firmware.Im rooted on Omega ROM with a youtube App that has a download feature.I can watch videaos of any lenght and the screen doesnt turn off.Also if I turn the screen off myself I can still listen to the video thats playing.
I'm on darkyrom LA4 base. Also tried resurrection rom with ICS a while back with the same result. Might hafta try something else then...

The youtube app in Omega rom is great. It is how a youtube app should be.
sent from my fingers to your face.
I believe its down to how the YouTube app is developed; No playback in background or when screen is off.
Tomorrow morning when Im not on my phone Ill upload the youtube apk from my rom.Youll need to pass it to the System/app folder with root explorer but Ill put up the instructions.Like i said at the moment Im on my phone so cant upload.
I know I said Id do it tomrrow but I cant sleep thinking about this bloody Youtube apk. so Ill do it now.Ill write a rundown just incase your not sure what to do.Coming from another ROM it probably wont install as an apk. so if it wont then do this and it will install for sure.Do it twice to make sure though
NEED:Root explorer set to RW
first backup your exsisting apk. just incase.
1.Open root explorer and select System then app and go to YouTube
2.Hold finger down on apk. untill you get a menu and select "copy"
3.Now navegate to InternalSD/data and select "paste". and your done.
Now pass the new YouTube apk. to internalSD/download
1.open root explorer go to int.SD/download and hold finger down on apk.
2.from the menu that appears select "copy"
3.Now navegate to System/app and select "paste"
4.You will be prompted to overwrite exsisting apk. so select yes and your done.
Do the second proccess twice to make sure its copied and you should now see it in the app draw.The reason both apks. go to different folders is because if you put one inside a folder where another already exsists it will overwrite so you could loose your backup or the new one.Im going to bed
Amazing, thank you so much! That apk is gonna follow me wherever I go. xD

Keep a copy on your PC too and pass it to all your ROMs so you have a good YouTube app on your phone at all times.

Hey thanks for the info, I followed youre steps but when I try to run Youtube now it gives me an error message "The application Youtube(process com.rolle.android.youtube) has stopped unexpectedly. Try Again."
Btw I couldn't find a Download folder in the InternalSD instead I had to navigate to InternalSD/sdcard/download. This is where your youtube.apk was stored. Could this possibly be the issue?

The YouTube apk. I put in the download folder in the internalSD so when I open root explorer I select sdcard/download and there it is.Basically you put it where you can find it(not on the externalSD) but I find this folder for me a good one to remember.Sometimes you need to do it twice in a row for it to work.If it doesnt then boot to recovery and fix permissions and wipe cache partition and see if that works.Also try androidkids way that he posted as it worked for him but Ive always done it as Ive posted.Also make sure that the YouTube app is the blue on that its meant to be.
EDIT:are you getting the message to overwrite exsisting app when you paste the new one?
Does anyone have a version of this for the latest version for youtube?
is there an updated version of this youtube which allows the screen to be off while still playing?

I bought this SE Xperia X10 Mini pro like 3 weeks ago and I'm just trying all the ways to change its theme, I hate the factory theme, makes me so sick when I look at it eww....
I even installed GDE and it just can change the wallpaper (for example when I go to the settings the background is the same old damned blue...) what to do now I hate this feature so much... I'm regretting so much for buying such a mobile ah, and by the way I could not download the ADW launcher I tried so hard...
Somebody help me please

you need a file browser or a apk installer.
use "root explorer" or "andexplorer"
or use "installer"
good luck

As far as I know ADW Launcher, doesn't change the factory theme. In fact I have it installed and I can not change the theme.

You need the frameworks-res.apk for your firmware version. If the phone doen't turn on, you will need to do a repair (Using SEUS [Sony Ericsson Service Update]), you will loose all your data but you will recover your phone.

Is there any way to connect the mobile to the computer while the mobile is switched off? Because it says I have to go to the settings to do blahblah on my mobile then it will get connected...
Yesterday contacted Vodafone they said I have to go to their shop they are not sure if they can repair it or not, do you think it's an impossible thing to repair?

Yes, you need to:
1) Install SEUS
2) Connect your phone to the PC
3) press and Hold "BACK key" until green light turns on.
4) Follow the steps to repair.
Trying to delete applications I completely kill my phone and I could bring it back with that procedure.
Any launcher application won't change the theme (color and icons). For android 1.6 you change manually the color, takes little time. First root your phone, then get (use pull command) the framework-res.apk from System/framework folder. open the apk file with 7-zip or winrar and drag the all folder named like drawable*** to a temporary directory. Now change the view to thumbnails to see which folders are having images (.png). Go to those directory and pick desired file to edit. If you have good image editing software you do whatever color you need. I use .net paint because it's free and good enough for me. Once you are satisfied with the colors you just made again open the apk with 7 zip and open the particular directories to drag and drop your changes files. Done with colors.
Now use pull command for the system/app/ folder ...you get all the apk. In each of these apk you will find the drawable kind of a folder find the icon that comes on phone. Use your icon/downloaded icon, (do change the icon into 48x48) and darg and drop in the proper place of the apk. I used ireflect icons(google it).
By the way don't unzip and zip the apk file, that won't work.
Now push all the files in there respective folder and type reboot.
Now you will find there are still some apk is missing in the app folder, that is basically stored in data/app folder. But if you try to pull the whole folder nothing will come. use "ls" to view all the files and then use pull command by name. you will get it. Change the icon, install the apk just change the signing. To change the sign you need to delete META-INF folder then sign it.
You don't have to push-pull in this case just install the modified apk (before that u should uninstall the app).
I know im late but this is a bit confusing for me. I have rooted my x10 and according to "rootchecker" I also have busybox installed.(tho I can't find the busybox icon in my menu, it's just the superuser) Now I've seen some mods that requires me to flash the files via xrecovery. For example Bravia Engine, FPS Uncap, X-loud.
Now my question is when I open those file it has two folders "META-INF" and "System" now how do I put this into my phone?
Methods & Problems:
xRecovery - How do I flash the .zip file via xrecovery? Should I put it in my sd card and from the xrecovery mode press "Install update.zip from SD card"?? If yes then where in SD card? And Do I have to rename it as update.zip when I put it in my SD card?
Changing Value - There are some apps that requires changing value of my build.props. But when I change the value and try press tab to save, the save tab doesn't show (I mean I can't click on it). Then when I press back there's two option of "save" and "Discard" but when I save it and then re-enter into my build.props the value gets back to its original state. It doesn't change??
Unpacking - It says in a topic "Unpack all of the files to the relevant folders on your mobile" - What relevent folder? the folder it has in the zip file is not present in my sd card (I can see those folder via astro manager and I tried to copy/paste those folder into my sd and then via asto I tried to replace each original file that I have in my phone but it doesn't work, it doesn't let me paste it)
Sorry if this sounds stupid to you guys but I'm new to android and I'm having problem getting things right. So if any of you would help me through this issue step by step it'd be greatly appreciated.
To install those kind of things you have to use flashtool to add xrecovery to your phone, then you have to copy the .zip file in the sd card then turn off your phone and turn it back on when you get the sony ericsson logo start hitting the back key repeatedly till you go in xrecovery mode, use volume keys to go down and menu key to select, select the option install custom zip... then select install from sd card, then select the zip, and then select yes... let it install it and once is finish remove the battery and put back in, turn on your phone and the bravia, xloud or whatever zip you installed should be already running

To change the values in build.prop I recommend the use of Root Explorer,
Go to the folder \system\, tap on the grey button at the top of your screen, that says "Mount R/W", (after tapping it will read "Mount R/O". This will make the copying in root-folders possible, too.... you have to have changing-rights (read-write) to copy things into root-folders.
Then long-click on build-prop, scroll down and choose "Open in Text editor", change whatever you must change, and click left-hardware-button and after that choose "Save and Exit". The Root Explorer will make (and announce) a backup-copy named "build.prop.bak".
This should work.

Ok (after rooting) here is how I installed GApps (Market, Google Framework, etc) on the Nook Tablet, as well as the steps I took to stabilize everything...
1. Downloaded GApps package from goo-inside.me and extracted files.
2. Deleted the setupwizard.apk file from the set of extracted files (in the system\app folder).
3. Copied "system" folder from extracted files to tablet via USB.
4. Used Root Explorer to remount /system and copy files into their designated locations, and also set permissions (644) on all copied apk's in /system/app folder.
5. Rebooted.
6. Ran the market, signed in with my Google account, and downloaded/installed Superuser. Ran the binary update within the app.
7. Install any additional apps from Android Market.
8. Profit.
Known issues...
1. If setupwizard.apk ends up on your tablet you will not be happy.
2. A factory reset is recommended after installing GApps (though probably not necessary).
3. Not all apps show in the Market. Perhaps a build.prop tweak will fix this???
Enjoy!!!
this is a second good news after rooting!
anlong:
Use either wireless adb found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless
or use debugging toggle found here: http://code.google.com/p/secure-set.../detail?name=ADBWidget-0.2-alpha.apk&can=2&q=
^ instructions for that:
Download ADBWidget.apk
Copy ADBWidget.apk to /system/app (you can use root explorer or something.)
Add ADBWidget to your home screen
Anlog,
I was able to get SuperUser installed following the directions on the other discussion! Thanks for much for all your hard work.
Working on getting Google Apps installed right now.
Update: Well I have SuperUser on my Nook, but whenever I try to copy anything to \system\app it tells me I don't have permissions. Looks like I can't get root to actually run.
run chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
which version of Gapps do I need Cyanogen 6 MDPI?
Make sure root is fully working before you try to install GApps. Use the latest ones for CM7 (I think its from August). You need to remount /system as RW before copying the files and setting permissions. Root Explorer lets you do all of that.
All of this could be done with an ADB script as well, but I won't have time to write one today. Anyone?

Do not install chainfire! I just tried it and it boot-looped, had to force factory restore.
Finally figured out what was wrong initially, root does not seem to work unless you manually enter commands. Attempted market setup, for some reason it is still force closing every time. Any chance someone who got it working could upload exact files they used.

I ran into issues copying the whole folder over. I am currently running the google market though.
do everything one step at a time, install the googleframework first (from the directions on the kindle page), then do the market. I ran into the first time through the market would not actually connect so I rebooted the NT.
*note*
each time you reboot your NT you need to go in and what appears is toggle the usb debugging off then on, same with the "auto mount", and I did the unknown sources as well (not sure if this is necessary). It appears a reboot resets the flags and our menu isn't actually writing the settings so you have to toggle it.
Push comes to shove, start over with fresh reboot. It took me a few times (as it probably did others as well).
ok, so can someone who is patient tell me where I need to copy the system folder? help the feeble minded, please.....

that part is clearly stated but using root explorer and getting it to mount doesnt seem to work properly on my device. I have root and superuser. titanium backup works fine. for some reason root explorer on es explorer says it fails every time
-1 Go download latest Gapps and extract the contents to your HD. There will be two folders, one of which is "system."
-2 In the system folder there will be more folders, one of which is "app." Inside of app are all the system APKs.
-3 Detele SetupWizard.apk
-4 Now copy the app folder to the root of your NT SD card via USB.
-5 Next step you need to use ADB or Root Explorer...I used Root Explorer.
-6 Open root explorer, then go to sdcard and you should see the APP folder you copied.
-7 Once there, hit menu -> multi select > then put a check mark to what you want copied then hit the copy button.
-6 now hit back untill you're back in the root
-8 Then navigate to system, and at the top you should see button "Mount RW" hit that button.
-9 Then go into the App folder, and hit paste.
-10 All the selected APKs are now in the system/app folder.
-11 Now you need to give each of the copied apps permission by long-clicking on it till a menu comes up, hit permissions, then check all the check boxes next to "Owner"
-12 After you did that to all the apps hit the "mount RO" button on top of the screen
-13 Reboot the NT.
That should do it...hopefully I havent missed anything.
Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

So, I downloaded this app and I've moved it to /system/app folder and I've tried to install it and it simply says "not installed". I've been searching the net for days now. I've done the following.
1. Root access for Apps and ADB
2. I deleted the CN 9 mod camera app in the /system/app folder (Is there something else that I need to delete?)
3. Installed Busy Box, Astro, ES File Explorer and Easy Installer
4. I successfully installed other stock apps such as S Voice.
I've found similar questions on the net, but no answer. Please help me out!

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?
So, after extensive research, it has been reported that particular app doesn't work on custom roms.

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I revived the topic after so much time to thank the contribution that helped me to reinstall a service that I uninstalled by mistake in my Note8.
Thank you very much!

It's easy done wit "adb install <app.package.name>"

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
Regards
