Does anyone know if the new youtube app (froyo only) has been ported to any of the 2.1 ROMs? If so, or if someone would be willing to do it, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

help?
How do i go about installing this? I uninstalled the original app using titaniun backup but now wuen i go to install this apk it says something about installing over an older version (even though i thought i uninstalled it) and then it says uninstall failed. Do i have to use adb?
which rom are u running. You should be able to install it over the old youtube. It should ask u to upgrade. I use astro file manager. All I did is went to downloads clicked onto youtube apk and opened it and installed it.

I am running xtrSense 4.2.1
xtrom and xtrsense will not let u over ride some apps. They are built in to the rom. Try using kaosfroyo or tenzo's plainjane rom with cache2cache. If u decide to use kaosfroyo, go to the market and upgrade what he has installed. Kaosfroyo will let u view hd by default. There is a new youtube on the market only available for froyo
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
so theres no way (even with adb) to push that apk while using xtrSense? I have never been a fan of the Froyo rom as it seems to run really slow to me for some reason (even when OC-ed).
No, there is not. Checkout the threads, there are 2 sensefroyo roms out on beta. It's looking cool. kaosfroyo is pretty fast. check it out.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
FYI: The posted version is 1.6, not the new 2.0 that's still Froyo only.
You can use root explorer in the market to replace your old YouTube apk with this one. Yes its a paid app but its worth it. I have xtrROM 4.5 loaded and so far no issues. Just make sure you rename the old apk first just in case you run into any problems.
Sent from my Eris
Also forgot to mention this as its critical - by default root explorer will not mount your system/app folder. Tap mount r/w on the top right of your screen when youre in the folder before you rename and paste the new file. Then tap and hold, select permissions and reset these so they are identical to the old file. Then reboot your phone.
Sent from my Eris
Ok one more thing. When you rename the old file, just add .old to the end of the file.
Sent from my Eris
ok thanks a bunch, ill try that later tonight. I love my xtrSense lol. Ive tried the new TenzoSense Remix rom and honestly its nice, but xtrSense just seems rock solid when it comes to fluidity and performance (taking into account that the remix rom is only a RC1 rom).
I may very well buy the root explorer and not just refund it, although how much of an advantage does it have over titanium backup?
Root explorer is just a file manager for root users. I've never used titanium backup since I keep a backup of my apps and there isn't much in settings that I can't redo in seconds. I just stick with nandroid backups

Since Dell included Swype in the 2.2 updates, you can not install the beta swype apk without running into issues.
It will disable swype and simply un-installing the swype beta does not restore the original swype on the device. So your stuck with either having to do a factory reset or some knowledge of the system files.
I found this post over at the swype beta forums under Droid X by grooves12 which worked for me on the Streak.
Follow the simple steps and you'll be good to go
grooves12 said:
First, your Droid X must be rooted. There is plenty of info out there on how to accomplish this.
Get a root file manager (I use root explorer)
1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.
2. Mount file system as R/W
3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk
4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected]
5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so
6. Reboot
7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer
8. ENJOY!
I hold no responsibility if you screw up your system, and recommend you make a backup before attempting this, but, the above steps worked perfectly for me, and I am now running the latest Swype beta on my X.
These steps should also work on other models that come pre-installed with Swype from the factory, but I don't have another one to test, so have no way of being sure. If anyone tries it, let me know if it works for you!

Why continue trying to use the beta when you have a fully working version already in the streak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
yeah what's new with the beta? I can wait for stable release I think
--punked by Dell
--0wned with custom froyo long before their update
The latest one works much better, the main thing I think is most beneficial is that when you delete a name from your dictionary its actually deleted. In the one that comes with dell's ftoyo whenever I attempt to swype the word "now" the name "nour" would come up. No matter how many times I deleted "nour" from my dictionary it would still come up.
also I don't like how the numbers are across the top row, now with the beta I have installed the numbers are in the middle like a 10 key
head over to beta.swype.com to see a full change long.

My apps like Market n Pandora n just the qualities in general keep changing. Market icon reverts to green n inside I lose transparent aspect. Maybe Pandora doesn't change now that I think... Anyway its annoying. Does anyone know why. Is it cuz it updates w/out me choosing to somehow or a bug. I tried searching this but maybe I shouldn't have limited to virusROM. Not sure if its native to vr or wut
Sent from my TB (virusROM-kernel undecided) using XDA App
Not sure about Pandora but my market was doing the same thing. I read up on it and was told to reflash the ROM but make sure you backup all data using nandroid. Then after you reflash rename marketupdater.apk to a .bak extension. This will prevent the market from automatically updating. Once u reflash and reboot you can revert back to your old settings and apps using the backup you saved. Hope this helps
Sent from Ced's Thunderbolt XDA app - Infected with the VirusROM
the apps get updated so they lose the custom look and feel. no biggie, wait for the next VirusROM release, Im sure all the latest apps will be customized again.
After this happened to me while on my Droid X, I started doing this:
Right after the new ROM first boots, I make sure my root file explorer is installed and has SU permissions.
I navigate to system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
Click on Mount as RW (usually top of screen in your root explorer app)
Long press on the market updater
Tap Rename
Rename same as original, but change the file extension to .bak
I do all of this BEFORE I open the market for the first time after flashing a ROM.
This keeps the market from updating to the latest green version.

Have the ROM Bionix V 1.3.1 installed and it's a great rom but one issue. I flashed it on 2 phones but contacts force closes on one phone #1 every time I tried to either access it directly or indirectly (like when you long press a number to save a contact). Phone # 2 works great.
So, I deleted contacts.apk on phone #1 and tried to copy the apk from phone # 2 to #1 but it won't let me install. Any tips? I am using An outside dialer just to call now but I have some time now to try to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, czr

You can't install system apps just by pressing on them. You have to use root explorer to push app in /system/app directory.

^^AGREED^^
Take the one from the ROM zip itself, or from the phone that it werks on whatever really. Good luck!
You need an app called Root Explorer as Alex mentioned. Then, mount it with root rights and RW privileges (its a checkbox at the top while using it) and copy the apk to the same place it is on the working phone. Then, restart your broken phone and it should be fixed.
If you have the force-closing again, something else is causing it, likely a setting conflicting somewhere. You may need to go ahead and reset some settings from Titanium Backup then.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Such a simple fix since I had a good working copy of the apk on the other phone. Got it to work!
I rooted my nook and blocked OTAs with the indirects method....everything was perfect! And because I am a moron who thought she was be "proactive" I am a little stuck. I noticed people having trouble with their widgets moved their launcher apk...from data/app to system/app. I wasn't having trouble with my widgets but was so stupid and thought id prevent any future problems. Instead of moving it I created a link.....as someone had suggested instead.....when I noticed that didn't work.....I went back ib to try and actually move it....but it said not enough space.....I figured I shouldn't have messes with it at all...so I backed out...but it was on the stock nook screen. I couldn't figure out how to get back to my go launcher from there....so I thought perhaps if I erase and degresiter my device.....idiot. so now my device says 1.4.0.....NOT 9.9.9 anymore.....and it is on the stock b&N launcher still....surely I didn't unroot it right? Any one who could help an idiot noob? ?? I apologize for posting and not searching...but I am not quite sure what to search for because I font really know what I did and what the problem is.....

ok you have erased and deregistered your device from the nook tablet stock settings right? which means ur still rooted in terms of being able to run sideloaded apks.
if you want to take the short route u can just download go launcher ex on your computer and sideload it any do the same process for anything else you are missing, but i would recommend you start from scratch.
to start from scratch, find the superuser.apk which can be found in the nook and zergy installation folder, sideload it onto your nook tablet and also sideload the Nook Tablet Unroot App which Indirect created. Run that app and if all goes well you should have a stock nook tablet at 1.4.0.
just re-run your nook and zergy and you should be fine.
the other option is using adb hijack app, but seeing as you are a novice, i don't think you would want to go that route. hope this helps.
Oh thank you!! Ya I downloaded adb before to go that route and it hurt my brain a little Haha I was happy to find indirects method. Thank you a ton I will do that now!

Okay im getting pretty nervous that im royally screwed. My nook looks like stock 1.4.0 except the little mini book and back button in the status bar that came when I rooted. However....there is no internet browser application ....and every apk I have sideloaded it says.....the nook cannot read this type of file....so I figured I need to re load the appmenu.apk and enable third party....well dur it wont read that file apk either. What gave I done????? Anyone???

ok... what exactly did you do? did you run the nook unroot application that indirect created? I'm kind of confused as to what you did after I posted my suggestions.
I would suggest that you do this.
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Well I decided to start from scratch...so I moved the superuser apk over to my tablet and the unroot apk.....but neither of them would open in mu tablet.....it would just say.

You cannot install apks that way, it will always say that, easiest way is to install the GApps and then get root explorer and copy the files from your SD card to /system/app.

It says my su binary is out of date..but when I update it fails. I just want to unroot and start over. I emailed myself the superuser app from the indirect rooting folder....downloaded it ob my tablet and it installed just fine....so did the unroot file.....is this because I didn't copy it over the way you are saying?

Ok ready im gonna walk you through it.
Root your device
Download the latest super user package, the full package
Unzip the package on your computer, and then find the su in ./system/bin and the SuperUser.apk into the sdcard.
Using root explorer, mount /system/ as rw, and then copy su into /system/bin and superuser.apk into /system/app.
done
your instructions are very clear, but I am not sure how I can move anything in ROOT explorer when I can't get root explorer on my device in the first place....I finally found a download in my browser, and was able to install it on my device...but when I go in there is no option to MOUNT R/W it is simply mounted in R/O....
I keep RE-downloading Go Launcher from my email, and re-opening it....because every single time I hit my N button it takes me back to stock with no way to find the go launcher app....I don't care as long as I can get this dang SU issue fixed so I can unroot and be done with this. what am I missing here, I am sorry i must be very frustrating...but there is no option to change the system to R/W in my root explorer, where there was the button at the top to easily do that before. I am assuming it has to do with the SU not being updated, but I can't do that without rootexplorere akkk and I am not advanced enough to use ADB I dont think.....any ideas? my tablet easily downloads and installs things from emails.....thats the only thing I have going for me right now

I didn't do anything special from what I remember, just Titanium Backup uninstall, double checked the lib files, and installed. Haven't done it in a while...
Installed Swype Beta but...
Got Swype Beta 3.26 working on my AT&T G-Note. Not difficult but I removed it and re-installed the stock version.
The problem is that Swype Beta thinks that the G_Note is a tablet and the keyboard is WAY TOO SMALL to use. On installation you have to choose Android Tablet or a Japanese Tablet. No choice for a phone size display or any way I found to change the keyboard size. I didn't play too deeply to try to resolve.
Here was technique I used. (You are on your own usual warning....)
TOOLS
Root Explorer
A Rooted G-Note
1. Root Explorer search "Swype".
2. Take screen shot of where the Swype folder and files are so you remember how to put it back together.
3. Move all Swype files and folder to a new Swype backup folder for safety (I think I had to change some permissions to do this). It was one folder in /data/data 2 files in /system/app and one file in /system/lib
4. Get a Swype Beta account, download and install it. (I did this months ago so I don't remember it all.) I had the old email from them and just ran the link again
5. Restoring old was just uninstalling Swype Beta and the Swype Installer, putting the folder and files back where they were and re-booting.
Hope it gets worked out. I used Swype 3.25 on a Dell Streak and it was clearly better than what is on the G-Note.

Yeah, word. The Galaxy Note's resolution is totally foreign to the Note, so we have to use stock for now - which blows.
Here you go guys - found a solution posted by user zipxavier on the international Note section.
Here's the APK file - http://www.mediafire.com/?svqyodormoxvgz2
Its the ICS version of the latest beta, works perfectly fine, Dragon Dictation works as well. Not the annoying tablet version.
