hi guys, i updated the hero rom 1.4 from fatality to my magic and it seems that the youtube client does not have the option to view video in HQ anymore.
I have tried to install the youtube.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537412&highlight=youtube
but it doesn't seems to work.
anyone have a solution to this?
thanks.
hi everyone.
I have tried almost all hero rom. even those new releases with 32A Kernal.
But i always have no 'Watch in High Quality' option for the youtube client.
Is there something wrong with my settings or is this a hero rom issue?

hi, thanks for the link.
but how do i do the following?
pull build.prop from /system/
change: the line ro.ril.hep=1 to ro.ril.hep=0
save and push back into /system/

I tried opening up the rom (zip file) and change the line in notepad.
But it doesn't allow me to save it back after that.

Indeed you can't do this like that.
1- Extract build.prop from your update.zip, save it to your adb directory
2- Edit it with a text editor (notepad, wordpad, vi, ....)
3- plug your phone on usb, do not mount the sdcard
4- adb remount
5- adb push build.prop /system/
6- reboot your phone.

but i'm not very tech savvy.
where is adb directory and
how do i execute adb remount?
Will this allow HQ youtube even in 3g..? Or only the option in wifi.

If you have Android SDK, it's the tools directory.
If you have not Android SDK, follow this : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec02

Yes it works for me over 3g, htc G2 with Drizzy TouchFlo3D v3.

Worked like a charm on my hero rom. Only thing is my "H" icon is now a "3G". No big deal. I tested the speeds and still getting the same speeds. Also, any way to make it stay in HQ as every video I choose starts at LQ and after you start the video, you need to change to HQ.
This works for my MyTouch with QTek Hero ROM!
This is what you do.
Open up your ROM folder that you downloaded and installed and renamed it to update.zip. Open that up and look for build.prop It should be under update/system/
Copy it and paste it under your C: AndroidSDK/tools/
Open the build.prop using a notepad and then do the following:
change: the line ro.ril.hep=1 TO ro.ril.hep=0
save and exit.
Now OPEN up DOS Prompt. and then do the following steps.
Type in cd\ and then HIT enter.
Now type in " cd androidsdk\tools\ " then HIT enter.
Now type in " adb remount " then Hit Enter
Type in " adb push build.prop /system/ " then Enter
Finally reboot your phone.
My MyTouch works so much smoother with Hero Rom and now I have my HQ Youtube back!
Good Luck to all you guys.

I like to use Helvetica, so every time I flash a new cyanogen ROM, I find myself having to hook up USB and copying over the ttf files from my desktop.
Code:
adb remount
adb push ~/android/fonts/Helvetica/DroidSans.ttf system/fonts
adb push ~/android/fonts/Helvetica/DroidSans-Bold.ttf system/fonts
adb shell reboot
Can someone help me figure out how to do this directly on the phone?
I have the ttf files on my SD card, but I can't figure out how to copy them over to /system/fonts.
I tried using Better Terminal Emulator (a) but it's a pain to type it all, and (b) it doesn't allow it.
Is there a way to create a script to do this?
Can the script be made into an app/icon on my home screen?
It would be great if someone wrote up an app that could change fonts in general.
Thanks!

Anyways, have them on the root of your sdcard and
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/*.ttf /system/fonts
reboot
That should change the fonts.

ever heard of "gscript" .. it's pretty simple to create a script to do whatever you want it to do .. ie. "cp /sdcard/*.ttf /system/fonts" .. no USB needed .. come to think of it i don't use a USB connection for any of my G1 needs
Thanks! That worked!
I found this handy app -- GScripts (on the market) -- that let me set up the script to run with one click.
PS: I'm sorry -- which section should this go in? Regular Q&A?
I love the new stable cyanogen 5.0.7 for the G1, I just miss the 3d gallery. I was able to find the 3d gallery and install it just fine, but now I have double gallery in app tray. Is it possible to remove the default gallery, and if so, how is it done? I have already tried the following:
Code:
rm /system/app/gallery.apk

I entered the code listed above to remove the gallery.apk from the system. What ends of happening is the 3d gallery gets removed, not the default system gallery. Is there another method, aside from the code I entered in my original post?

I wanted the 3d gallery back which was removed from test 6, so what i did was unzip test5 and renamed Gallery3D.apk which is located in the /system/app folder to "Gallery.apk" and then used adb to push it back to my phone after installing test 6
adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app
worked fine for me

Hi Yozpalang,
I am very much newbiee in rooting and after reading this whole thread i didnt got where and how to enter this commands(amd adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app).
By great effort and loads of reading, i was able to root Cyanogen 5.0.7 Rom to my G1 and its working perfectly. After going through this thread i am also interested in having 3D gallery instead of existing photo gallery. So can u please put the step by step procedure for getting it installed in my G1.

Isn't the gallery.apk also the camera app? Aren't the two tied in? Does the "3D gallery" come with the camera tied in?
Ok i managed to get the stock lockscreen if you all want to use it.
There is a possibility that the file i signed has a different signature, but i dont think it will.
Remember make a backup! always.
If your phone gets messed up it is not my fault.
I have warned you, so here you are. EDIT: Unzip the file then push the one inside of the zip.
put the file i uploaded in /system/framework ............. let me know what you think!
Thank to : Ateisti for giving the info on how to modify it.
If you want to go back to your old lockscreen download the enable_glass_lock.zip, unzip it, and push the enable_glass_lock to /data/local
If your signature is different it will get stuck on the samsung, you can then restore your backup.
and if you want it then run these instructions:
You need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
You are the ****ing man!
How well does this work with the alarm silencing and incoming calls? Thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind...testing it out.

Keep the name and adb push it to /system/framework (you might want to backup your old one) you can backup by "adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar"
You can also install it using root explorer if you want.

Quick question, does this take away the option for the other two lockscreens, ie glass and puzzle? If not I can throw this in my theme port (with your permission of course) and also theme this lockscreen as well.

Your more then welcome to use it, but It does not give an option. So you would have to create a seperate theme for people who would just want the stock lockscreen.
I've tried installing this twice with root explorer, and both times my phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo when I reboot.
To install the file, I unzip the download and then place the .odex file in /system/framework. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

your signature isnt the same as my file. you can try to do this but you need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
hey man, i'm new to all this i've done all that u said, but what is the command to pull the android.policy.odex from the phone? I think i'm putting the wrong directory in the command because I keep getting "remote object '......android.policy.odex' does not exist" thanks for this, btw i really dislike that puzzle piece unlock bs.
nevermind, I wasn't in cwm when doing it the first time. Thanks again.
I like this, can't wait to try it.

Yes I did it in clockwork recovery. I may of had some confusion on the second to last step. I'll try again when I get home.

OK, I know how to use ADB to reboot and get into download mode on my phone, but I have a kind of emergency. I was attempting to replace a framework-res.apk file on my phone to change the battery icon, and now I am stuck FCing all over the place. So much that I can't put my backed up framework-res.apk file back in /system/framework via Root Explorer like I normally do.
I am connected to my phone, can list directories, but cannot seem to push the framework-res.apk file.
Can someone give me a step by step on how to do this and soon please...
EDIT: I think I got it. I needed to be in Recovery Mode, and then it seemed to copy fine.
While I do have someone's attention (hopefully), how do you change directories if the directory you want to change to is two names, IE 'Battery Mod'?

Is your backed up framework on your sdcard? You could try adb shell.
from pc,
adb shell
su
cp XXXX/framework-res.apk system/framework <<<may need to use busybox cp
exit
exit
adb reboot

My backed up framework file was on my PC. The first one I was trying to get to was on my phone, in a folder called Battery Mod, which I could not get into because ADB kept saying wrong substitution or something?
Either way, I was able to get it done, so I learned something new again.

That makes sense, it may not let you Push to the file system while it's in use.
As for 2 names, do you mean from a windows command box or in the android command line. Windows you just type it as is. Linux is a little more picky, I usually try to remove spaces from directory names so I don't run into any problems with that. In linux a backslash works, ie, cd /sdcard/Battery\ Mod
Not sure if it will work on our phones.
Ok, I must have posted this question somewhere but I would like to know the answer cause no one has answered it. "how do I get the stock phone app to modify?. How would I get it and put it back into my phone? please I would like to know.
38 views and no response?
the .png files for the phone are actually in the contacts.apk.
Are you asking how to modify the apk, or just specifically where are the phone images?
To copy the app from your phone just do: adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
That will put a copy of the file in your "tools" directory in the android sdk folder
Then when you want to put it back on you should be able to overwrite it with: adb push /system/app/Phone.apk
What exactly are you planning on doing with this file?
Thank you. I want to create my own images to make it look different then the stock colors.
There are 2 apks that contain dialers, one is the Contacts.apk as stated bfore that brings up the phone when the phone icon is pressed the second is in the Phone.apk appears once a call is placed, and the persons picture appears of the person you are calling.

In terminal or command prompt, navigate to the tools directory in the android SDK and run the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
That will dump the file in you tools directory.
If you are having trouble with this, let me know what operating system you are using and if you have the android SDK installed.

This is confusing. I didn't think it would be so hard. I do UI's for iphone and ipod touch and this is way different. There are so many different things. Its discouraging in some ways. Sorry. I would love to create an app but of course its different. So, I stick to creating themes.
I would love to take a ROM and mod it myself or even modifying Launcher pro but it has that 9.pngs which makes it hard.
Ok, I have the Eris 2.1 rooted with Tenzo Rcmix2.0 installed. I have the SDK installed but don't know what to do with it. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I really want to create and mod lots of apps.
this is what I've done to a phone app I downloaded from the market:
-I created my images through Photoshop and saved them to a folder with its correct name used.
-I opened draw9patch and saved the images with the correct name again to a folder.
-I named the folder drawable-hdpi that belongs in the Res folder
-took the files and folder and created a zip out of it.
-opened the AvaboxV2 and signed it.
-loaded to my phone and changed the name to the correct name and installed it
but it keeps saying application not install, I just don't get it. What step did I messed up on?
Anybody? anybody?...............................
This is what you need to do:
1. Open Contacts.apk in 7-zip
2. Copy the images over top of the original images in drawable, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-mdpi-finger (notice I didn't say anything about hdpi)
3. Close the archive.
4. Copy it back onto the device with:
Code:
adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app
Your phone may not appreciate you pushing Contacts.apk while it is running, so it may become unstable at this point. I would recommend restarting.

thank you but I'm trying to understand what you mean by push ADB. is that the one in the sdk folder? if so, I open it and it just flashes for a few seconds then closes.
ADB is a command line program that allows you to debug and move/edit files on your phone. You need to run those commands from a command prompt (should be a link in the Accessories folder on the Start menu if you can't right-click on the sdk folder and open one). Navigate to the tools folder, then run the remount and push commands like icbeer said to get your modified .apk on your phone:
Code:
C:\users\brtnbrdr> cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb remount
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb push Contacts.apk /system/app
