[MOD] GTalk 1.3 w/Video Chat Working + Wifi Optional

For my 400th post I decided to share something alot of people wanted working on the Sensation. This simple batch file will replace the GTalk you currently have with one that works with video chat on the Sensation. In addition, the version it installs works with the option to use it while not connected to Wifi (Take that T-mobile !)
Thanks to all those who tried it out **we have weeded out what works and what doesn't**
====================================================
EDiT
====================================================
The best method that works for me is "Root Talk Installer"
I have take the liberty of uploading it here for you all
It includes the GoogleFramework apk that GTalk w/video needs to work
without video/audio problems.
====================================================
After installing be sure to click yourself in Gtalk and select "Allow video and voice chats"
Enjoy !

Doesn't work.
Even after pushing .so and .apk files manually.
UPD: Worked after adjusting permissions and rebooting!

Good stuff!

Do we have to install this with the phone connected?

Yes.
Double edit; seems it worked the first time I just missed the video icon.....good work!

As I'm on Linux, I'm going to install the files manually with Root Explorer; I will report back to how it goes.
Linux users: I may right a shell script for this; if you'd like me to do this, please reply or thank me using the thanks button below.

OP seemed to forget the "adb root" command before trying to remount the partition as rw.
but adding "adb root" to the start of the script results in the following response from the server:
"adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
.... ಠ_ಠ

OK, so I replaced the .so file and the Talk app in /system/lib/ and /system/app/ with Root Explorer...and I can't see the Talk app, either in my app drawer or in the Settings menu. It's definitely in the /system/app/ directory, but there's nothing else for it. It doesn't install like a normal sideloaded apk; it comes up with Application not installed.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Gonna try Phateless' solution with the permissions
EDIT: Well...I have a little video icon at the top near my email...and I have video notifications and video chat menu in the Settings menu of the app...it's looking good

I'd love to install this mod. Can someone please explain in detail how to use the talk.bat file to install the mod?
Do you hook the phone up in sync mode and just run it? Or do i have to have adb installed? I don't know about that.
Perhaps someone can just make this into a .zip for the community

I'm on a Mac so I had couldn't use the .bat script.
I did the steps below.
Using Root Explorer I removed:
/system/app/Talk.apk
/data/data/com.google.android.talk
Pulled the libtalk_ini.so and Talk.apk files out of the rar
Put the libtalk_jni.so file in /system/lib
Put the new Talk.apk in /system/app
Long press on Talk.apk to change permissions to:
Owner R W
Group R
Others R
Hit Ok, then reboot.
Working perfectly.
Thanks.

I really just want to know what to put where with what permissions, and whether or not I have to install/uninstall the apk from the system using what command? I could try to decode the bat file to figure it all out... I'm halfway there.

4. restart phone
5. input your google user/pass again
6. get video chat working.. over mobile internet as well..
the apk was made from an xda user's method.. so again xda ftw
as always this stuff isn't official so it may not work.. depending on the rom/phone your on.. im on Insert Coin 1.0.6 and it works beautifully.. although the 2.3.4 roms shouldn't be too far along

Permissions: you move the Talk.apk to /system/app/ and then copy the permissions from the next app in the list. I found that they were in an upside down L shape, so I copied this over to the Talk app, rebooted, and volia, it worked!

[MOD]Data Speed Tweak [ICS/GB][Wifi/3g/4g]>Flashable ZIP<

This is a known Linux speed tweak, and i found it on the epic 4g thread (my son has one, and I loaded CM9 on his phone) that was started by marcusant. So, i'm really just sharing the info with the Evo community, but I truly think it is quite valuable info, and will likely work on any Android based device since as stated earlier it is a Linux tweak. This has only been tested on ICS, and GB, but I'm pretty sure results will be the same with Sense...
This is what i did, and for those of you that want to add it yourself, just add this code...
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1
to a file sysctl.conf (you can use root explorer to make a new file, or whatever file manager tool you like) then using root explorer copy the file and navigate to /system/etc/ mount as r/w and rename the original sysctl.conf file to sysctl.conf.bak, then paste the one you originally copied (you can add the lines of code to the original file if you are using a edited one already). Then change ownership to root/root, and permissions to rw/r/r, then mount back to r/o, and exit root explorer, and reboot. If it works you should notice your browser opening pages faster, the market much faster, and of course speed test will be faster.
I was pm'd this as a way to get this properly working on ICS. Thanks ratkiley
ratkiley said:
You can ignore my previous email because I found the solution. I am sharing it with you so you could update your original forum post with the missing information.
At first, I was not able to install the data speed tweak zip files through my ClockWorkMod recovery ROM on my Ice Cream Sandwich / Android 4.0 phone. After various experimentation, I figured out the solution.
To install the zip from the SD card,
Copy the zip file into the root of your SD card
Boot into Clockwork mod recovery rom on your phone.
Mount the /system/ folder. (So you don't flash the files into the Recovery ROM's /system/ folder instead of your android ROM's system folder. Otherwise, you won't see the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file appear in the file system after installing the zip file.)
Choose "install zip from sd card" -> "choose zip from sd card", then find the zip file.
* The /system/etc folder does not exist on the clockwork mod ROM's file system, but it does on other android ROMs. ADB shell exposes the clockwork mod /system/ folder to you unless you first mount the /system folder. So apparently, "Mount /system" means mount your phone's Android ROM's /system folder in the running Clockwork Mod unix file system.

This is highly unlikely, but if this somehow breaks your device I am in no way responsible... Just had to put that out there...
For ICS users you might need to use THIS method, or you can update your services.jar file HERE (compliments of Papa Smurf151 Thread).

I extracted a sense rom (Derps), and i did see a /system/etc directory, however, i did not see a sysctl.conf file. You could try putting the file in that directory, and it may do the needed adjustments upon boot. Again, i'm not a sense user, but It is still a linux base, so the adjustment "should" still be possible...

Cool beans, Fiddy., I was gonna create the file, but you just saved me time and that's always a good thing

OK, both flashable zip, and flashable undo zip are in the OP. The flashable zips are based on a stock file, so if you are using a modified sysctl.conf file, this will set you back to stock, so I would suggest just adding the lines manually if you are using a modified sysctl.conf file. You can easily check this by just navigating to your /system/etc/ location with a file manager (i suggest root explorer), and just checking the size of your sysctl.conf file, if it is 0kb, then it is stock, and flash away. If it has any size value at all, then it is modified in some way, and as stated earlier I would suggest manually modifying your file.

Tried flashing and said aborted, can't find update script or something along those lines.

You could try toggling signature, that should get it working, but I'm not with my computer right now, so I'll have to look into it later. Sorry about that, if anyone wants to make a flashable zip in the mean time i'de appreciate it.

This is what the file is for....
The sysctl.conf is a configuration file for "sysctl" which is an interface for dynamically changing kernel parameters in the Linux OS. The configuration file contains the following elements, vm.min_free_kbytes, vm.dirty_ratio, vm.dirty_backgroud_ratio, vm.vfs_cache_pressure, vm.oom_kill_allocating_task. There are many other elements within the file, but we will be primarily focusing on these specifically (the vm prefix stands for virtual memory). The sysctl.conf file should be located in /etc (/system/etc) by default. To enable it you need your ROM to execute "sysctl -p" somewhere during the boot process (or shortly afterward).
I havent found it in the system/etc/init.d folder on GB/Sense.It is in ICS system/etc./init.d folder though.

Wouldnt that be similar to the kernel tweaks from Car o Dope?

[FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper] for Tweaked and Eclipse

If you wish to stay on Tweaked or Eclipse and don't want the FP5 or FP8 update to popup every few minutes I have made zips you can flash. I have also included directions for editing the build.prop if you wish to do that instead.
Flashing the zip replaces the build.prop with a new one with the change needed. It also deletes the update file in /cache if it exists.
If you have made any build.prop changes flashing the zip will overwrite them.
For those that edit the build.prop yourself and have already seen the update popup then after editing the build.prop you will have to delete the update zip located in /cache using root explorer. If you don't delete it in /cache it could take 2 or 3 reboots for the update pop up to go away.
If you edit the build.prop yourself I recommend you download the zip for the rom you are using just in case you end up in a boot loop. If that happens all you have to do is pull the battery, put it back in, boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip. Then your phone will be fixed and back to normal.
First Option: Flash Zip
Directions:
1. Download zip for the rom you are using and save to sdcard
2. Boot into CWM recovery
3. Mount System
4. Install zip from sdcard
5. Reboot
Tweaked 3.2
FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Tweaked 2.2
FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Eclipse 2.0
FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Second Option: Editing the build.prop yourself
If you are comfortable editing the build.prop and don't want the changes you have made to be overwritten or just don't want to flash the zip then follow these directions. This works for Tweaked, Eclipse and Stock Rooted.
Directions:
1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system
2. Mount as r/w
3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor
4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys
5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8
6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit
7. Mount back to r/o
8. Reboot phone

Easy pezy love my root explorer..

In case you're too cheap to buy Root Explorer (big mistake btw) do NOT use something like ES explorer.
I like this app, but it's not available anymore. Fortunately I kept it in backup before it was removed.

Just hit the .prop editor, then menu, and press block/unblock.
Then scroll down to fingerprint and make the change, then press menu, save and exit.

While I heard the warning, I went ahead and tried editing the build.prop with ES File Explorer. Simple change of 1 character in the file (FP1 to FP5). After I rebooted, I ended up in the Samsung boot loop.
No problem, a reflash of the Tweak 2.2 CWM zip fixes it.
So, my question is WHY would using ES over another file explorer and/or text editor mess stuff up? I even did it twice and second time I explicitly changed system system to ro in ES File Explorer before exiting. Is it something in the way it mounts and doesn't clean up after itself? Or does the ES text editor change the line feeds on the file (e.g. \n to \r\n or something like that?)
I'm should be good to go, because I flashed Tweak 2.2 then flashed the FP5 Stopper CWM zip, but I feel that running a CWM zip script to make a 1 character change in build.prop is a little extreme, so I'd like to figure out why this happened.
Thanks!

Change FP5 to FP1 when using rooted FP1?
"I have also included directions for editing the build.prop if you wish to do that instead."
Can I make the manual change of FP5 to FP1 when I'm using rooted FP1 instead of "tweaked" or "eclipsed" to eliminate trying to update to FP5 until IMNUT gets into the update??
Thanks

It's the way ES saves files that require root access. It used to be fine, but they changed the way they did it and it doesn't work any more. Stuff on the SD card works well enough, and I use their picture viewer with Chant (4chan browser)

If that happens all you have to do is pull the battery, put it back in, boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip. Then your phone will be fixed and back to normal.

I made it a little easier for people flashing the zip. Before if you had seen the pop up after flashing the zip you would have to go into /cache and delete the update zip. Well now you no longer have to delete it, the zip does it for you.

Flashed the zip for my friends ROM and it got caught in a boot loop. Not sure what went wrong, but I am attempting to reflash the ROM to get it to boot.

I've told the ES developer to check this thread. He responded:
We have tested it without finding issues.
The line break is /n by default.
The default coding is UTF-8.
Could you send an error build.prop to us to help finding out what's wrong?

I'm headed out of town for the weekend so I can't help him troubleshoot this.
kvswim or PaulN64007, is there any way you can help the developer track down this issue? They claim ES should work. I'm guessing it's more along the lines of temp files, chown/chmod of the temp file when copied back to the original file? Not sure.
Thanks

on Tweaked 2.2, ran the .zip, no problems, booted up fine and there's no FP5 notification. thanks!

Perfect for me too. Thanks for the work.

[JB APPS]Google Earth,Email,Play Store with Voice Search

So after deodexing the nexus 4 system dump(which i grabbed from androidtaskforce) and trying various combinations of apps to work on our device(was really a tiresome job).
I present the following:
1.Google Earth
2.Email(not gmail)
3.Play Store
4.Voice Search for Play Store
So to get this fun on your phone
1.Download and extract this zip.
Note: This is not a flashable zip so don't go flashing this in any recovery.Just extract this zip.I'll upload a flashable zip later.
2.Copy all the files in app folder to system/app folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
3.Similarly Copy all files in lib folder to system/lib folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
4.Simply install the GoogleEarth.apk and Phonesky.apk( don't copy them to system/app just click on them and install normally).
5.Reboot your phone and enjoy!!!!!
Note: If you get some error in these do a cache+dalvic wipe.That should fix it.
Njoy!!!!

Well first you've to be rooted to do that.Then you must have some file explorer that allows you access to root(Root Explorer,ES File Explorer)
Then when you've copied the file in proper place (assuming you're using root explorer)touch and hold on that file name a menu will pop up.Select set permission from there and then set the permission to 644(rx-r--r--)
In short your permission window should look like this
**-
*--
*--
* denotes tick
- denotes untick..
Hope that gets it cleared for everyone!!!!

+1 for solid explorer. Its nice with the dark theme, and I like the interface compared to root explorer.
Also can someone put GoogleEarth.apk link up. I won't be around a computer to extract the zip and get the apk for a while. Would be appreciated..

Interface is really nice, I have both but I prefer solid explorer cause of the dual browsers in landscape mode, makes copy pasting and editing very simple.. also you can click on the file icons for multi select, no long pressing needed !

Clear some bloatware.but take a backup of what you delete first so that you can put them back if you want.
You can remove the apps from system/apps that you don't use.the most safe one's are facebook,google plus,talk,play music,play movies etc you get the jist.don't remove any app whose function you don't know.
You can use any method to do so however i personally recommend titanium backup to do so.I've installed many apps using it after taking backup.

So after deodexing the nexus 4 system dump(which i grabbed from androidtaskforce) and trying various combinations of apps to work on our device(was really a tiresome job).
I present the following:
1.Google Earth
2.Email(not gmail)
3.Play Store
4.Voice Search for Play Store
So to get this fun on your phone
1.Download and extract this zip.
Note: This is not a flashable zip so don't go flashing this in any recovery.Just extract this zip.I'll upload a flashable zip later.
2.Copy all the files in app folder to system/app folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
3.Similarly Copy all files in lib folder to system/lib folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
4.Simply install the GoogleEarth.apk and Phonesky.apk( don't copy them to system/app just click on them and install normally).
5.Reboot your phone and enjoy!!!!!
Note: If you get some error in these do a cache+dalvic wipe.That should fix it.
Njoy!!!!

Guys with help from 'Ani' here's how I solved it :
Install apk & then the earth lib file in sys/lib & set permission 644.

Heads up for users on JB 4.1.2!
If you're to install Google earth in 4.1 leak, please copy only the lib file libearthmobile.so, set permissions and install Googleearth.apk provided inside the zip. Google ears.apk contained in system/app dir inside the zip is for voice activated play store search and does not concern Google earth.
Presence of Google ears.apk breaks google talk and it FCs every time.

After going in to settings I see :
1) Under Databases it just shows Default? Are there supposed to be more databases available for choosing?
2) When Maps Engine is clicked, just the header Maps Engine is shown but nothing below that - is this correct?
3) Main issue is I don't see the "Look Around" icon to Pan & scan my view - how to resolve this?

After downloading the file, unzip it using a program such 7zip or Rar. Some file explorers like ES Explorer give you an option to long-press the file and choose the ''extract'' option.

No, you don't flash these. You copy them over to your system folder, after setting the appropriate write permissions via an app like ES Explorer.

You don't have to copy the files to your system folder in order for you to use the S5 ringtones, alarms, and notifications. Just like for any other ringtones or notification sound files, one can browse to those sound files from within an app (e.g. Phone App for CallerID).
But if you want to replace your existing S4 UI sounds, then you'll have to modify folder permissions.
Let's suppose you want to replace the startup sound, which is found at system -> media -> audio -> ui -> PowerOn.ogg.
If you try to copy over the S5 PowerOn.ogg file to directory, you'll get a failed operation. To copy over it, you first have to use a root file explorer like Root Browser.
From within Root Browser, you long-press the system folder & change permissions so that it reads as: 0777 (rwx rwx rwx).
Now copy over the S5 PowerOn.ogg file into the ui directory. The file operation will now succeed.
Now reboot your phone for the change to take effect.
At reboot, you'll now hear the Galaxy S5 startup sound.

Much tks for these op!! I just swapped all mine out with these via root explorer and set permissions, rebooted..Haven't decided yet if I'm gonna grab the S5, thinking I'm gonna wait and see what's up with the next Nexi. Love my S4 though!!

I debated too whether to upgrade to the S5 but I decided to pass. The only 2 things I like more about the S5 over my S4 are the ISOCELL camera and IP67 rating, which isn't enough for me to upgrade for. Even the Snapdragon 801 is too minor for me as I have the Snapdragon 800 via my Nexus 5 and Note 3.
I'm gonna wait for either the S5 "Prime" or Galaxy S6.

[Sorry For Bump!]
Thanks for the files but I think I just ruined my phone.
I replaced the Effect_tick.ogg and now the sound isn't playing. What should I do to restore the sound back other than factory reset?

Did you see if permissions are correct? rw-r-r and still no sound on reboot? You could always extract the rom you are on and push the Effect_tick.ogg make sure permissions are rw-r-r, reboot and should work normal again

Hmm I already flashed my phone to a stock rom. So everything is back to normal. Thnx for reply anyways

Changing Permissions
When I long press on any of the folders/files it bring up a little check box on each file and the option to select each or all items. Along the bottom of the screen I then have: copy, cut, delete, rename and more... in the more menu I can look at properties and see if the file's Readable, Writable, or Hidden but I have no ability to change this or the permissions on any of the files. can someone tell me why I can't edit permissions?
I'm using ES File Explorer v. 3.2.1.2

Open ES back up and hit your menu key then tap Tools and turn on Root Explorer grant super user permission and you'll be good to go
