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.

here's even easier:
1. go to market
2. install "[root] talk 1.3 installer" by brainswash studios
3. follow instructions on app it's extremely easy (it will ask to do backup so do it, then click install button)
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!

I'm working on a tool that I hope will make life a little easier when modifying files on the X10. It uses ADB to pull and push files, so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands anymore. It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software.

Nice work man.
Now I know why you shifted to adb
thx for the tool MrRusch hopefully be easy to mod for now with adb
Glad you guys like it. There is only so much one can do with ADB, but let me know if there is something you think I should include.
Version 0.2 is up now, and I'm off to bed. Happy modding!
@ MrRusch
u r great!!!
This looks very good and useful.
One quick think that you could add is maybe a feature the unsecures the shell on startup of the program to save you doing it before, and resecures it when closed maybe??
Cheers
How can I push an apk with this???
Great program, however the "Refresh Directories" button does not seem to work.
I can add a directory with "manage directories", but when I refresh nothing happens.
When I exit the program and start it again, then the diretory is there.

Hehe yeah actually it just refreshs the files that are already in existing directories, e.g. if you add a file to the directory while the app is running. But I will make it reload the available directories as well Good catch.
EDIT: v0.2.1 includes this feature.

1. Select the APK locally, in your left-side list. (Psst! Click the grayed out location field to browse your hard drive)
2. In the list on your right, select where you want to push the APK to - e.g. /system/framework/.
3. Hit the Push button and wait for the process to complete.
PS. It's often useful to back up originals before you replace them with modified ones. Select the file(s) you want to back up in the list on your right, and hit the Pull button. This creates a backup folder in the application's directory.

Yeah, sorry it's my bad. I messed up in the UI change from v0.1 to v0.2.x. I've uploaded v0.3 now, and the issue should be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
EDIT: Well, at least I hope this was your problem. Not quite sure, judging by your last response - you dont even get a "Push completed!" message? In that case it might be something else, and I need more information to understand what is happening. E.e. what is the filename you are pushing, what is the directory name you are pushing to, do other functions such as Pull work, etc..?

Yeah sounds like it. Make sure ADB works by itself first.
If you are like me, one of the first things you noticed when typing was the lack dictionary on the stock Android keyboard. Here's what worked for me. I grabbed the stock 2.2 keyboard file off my Intercept and put it on my Triumph. Works great. No clue why they didn't do this to begin with. The file is located "/system/app/LatinIME.apk". I backup up my old one to sd card and moved the intercept file in its place.
I attached the file. Obviously you modify your phone at your own risk and be sure to back up before making any changes. If you repost this elsewhere please give me some credit, huh? If you have trouble, double check the file permissions. A few people at Howardforums had to change it before it worked. Should be Owner: Read/Write, Group: Read, and All: Read.

Alternatively, if you don't want to root your phone there is "Keyboard from Android 2.3" by developer Steven Lin from the market. Works great, autocorrect and all.
You don't even need root for some of them, e.g. swype beta installs fine and also has a dictionary.
Thanks for the info!

The keyboard needs to be enabled from "Language/keyboard" section of the settings menu...HOWEVER...Enabling that keyboard pops up a message that says:
"ATTENTION - This input method may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers. It comes from the application Gingerbread keyboard. Use this input method?"
Ummm...I think not...

Yeah I know to do that...thing is it doesn't appear anywhere. Not in the keyboard and language settings, or selecting input method, anywhere at all. It's in the system/app folder, of course I'm rooted. I set those permissions and tried other ones, but it just won't appear. I gave installing the .apk a shot (doesn't install) and I tried rebooting of course. I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Finally! If anyone has troubles like I did this should fix it. The problem was permissions after all. Certain file managers won't tell you the permission change failed. I tried with root explorer and it said you can't change permissions on anything in the sd. So I moved the LatinIME.apk to the root of the phone and changed the permissions, then into the system/app folder and rebooted, now it works.
I'm a noob.
I'm using ASTRO file manager. When trying to paste the file into the app folder it doesn't give me an option to. all the options are greyed out.
What is it im doing wrong? should i use a different file manager? any suggestions? thanks

Your device is rooted, right? Once you are rooted, I used "ES File Explorer". I have the setting checked that it's a rooted device and to make everything writable checked. Either rename the old one with ".old" at the end or cut and paste the old file to sd card just in case. Cut and paste the new file where the old one was. Hold your finder down and go to properties. Make sure the permissions are rw- r-- r-- on it.

I cooked up a little battery % mod for CM7 on the MT4GS just now in the UOT kitchen. Very easy to do in case you don't like mine and want to customize your own. Here's a pic of what it looks like (only the battery portion):

And here's the link:

Instructions:
1. download zip
2. reboot into recovery
3. make nandroid backup just in case
4. wipe dalvik/cache
5. install zip from sdcard
6. reboot
7. enjoy
I'm not responsible for people ruining their devices because they didn't make a nandroid or tried to flash this on a ROM other than CM7.1 for the MT4GS. That's what this battery mod is made for and I'm not going to guarantee results of any kind.
Will this work on the Virtuous rom as well?

Just pull the files that it asks for, our phone is not on the list. You are rooted right? Use a file explorer to find the files
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resources.apk these are located in /system/framework
and also get
SystemUI.apk
Which is located in /system/app
Then select upload system files instead of choosing from the list, and up load the files. It works great, I themed my whole phone last night.

Get a root explorer, I use Root Explorer, it is a paid app, and totally worth it if you are rooted. I am not sure what free options are good, so ask around. My boyfriend was using File Expert, but it did not work very well, he finally bought Root Explorer, and he hasn't had a problem since.
Open the root explorer or file manager that you have, make sure you have R/W (read/write) privileges. Then look for the folder named system, in that folder you will find another folder named framework, inside that folder you will find a file named framework-res.apk , and another file named com.htc.resources.apk. When you see one of those files you long press on it, and a menu will pop up asking what you want to do with the file. You can choose copy, and then paste in on the root of your sd card, but I choose the option to send, and I send it to my dropbox. Then go to the system folder again, and look for a folder named app, inside that folder you will find SystemUI.apk , also copy that one to your sd card, or send it to your dropbox. Once you have those 3 files on your sd card, or in your dropbox, move them to your computer. Open the UOT Kitchen, make your modifications, then click on the tab that says file upload. On the right of the page there will be some options to "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" Choose upload system files. 4 boxes to upload files will pop up, only use the top 3. Click the select file button, and find the file that they are asking for by that button, then upload it. When all 3 files are uploaded, and you have made the modifications that you want then click the summary tab, it will have a summary of what you did, and a button at the bottom to submit your work. After you press it it will give you an order number, copy that down. Under your order number there will be a link to go to the pick up page, click it, and wait for your order to show up. Then download your order, and it will be a flashable zip, flash it and enjoy.

Not sure if others are seeing this, but I cannot move/copy those two files into /System/App as we are using a secured kernel.
I tried using ADB Shell Mount, but refuses to let me mount the /system as RW. I tried Root Explorer to copy the files into the /System/App even after setting it to RW but it never copies the files into that directory.
Has anyone sucessfully got this to work? Seems like needs to be injected through a zip file via CWM.

I ran into the same problem.
Tried re-rooting, but no dice.
So I started from a fresh install, One click ICS, odin CWM, CWM root, then load deodexed system files.
For some reason we can touch the /System/App right after install, but then it stops working after a couple of reboots.
I'm using Romracer's deoedexed ICS files.
Alright well I managed to get them in there. I just booted into recovery, then in CWM mounted the /system. Then I used ADB to push the two files into the System/App and it took it without an issue. Then Just renamed the LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk.bak using ADB as well (didnt want to delete it just incase this didnt work) and then just rebooted and the dictionary definitely works now.

So you did it the easy way.
I thought about using ADB, but I needed to clean up some things I fubard from trying to theme stuff anyway.
It works well!

Thanks soo much! I thought i was losing my mind. But i did it a different way instead of ADB.
For those who (like myself) who are not familiar with ADB, download ES File Explorer.
Go into the settings on the app
Go into file settings and enable "show hidden files"
Go back and Enable "Up to Root"
Scroll farther down and enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
Then Rename the existing copy of "latinme" to "latinme.apk.bak" (just use .bak ; like someone mentioned already) in the /system/app directory
Then copy the two files to this /system/app folder
You may have to (for some reason i did) rename the two folders that you pasted due to them being named as "._latin..."
Just delete the "._"
Then re-enable the keyboard in settings
Hope that helps for people who dont use ADB or know how for that matter.
I also had to restart the phone to get it to work.
Where can I find Polish dictionary?

I followed your steps and it didnt work for me, I tried to rename it and it said operation failed.
ETA: Ended up doing via ADB and it worked.
I guess i was lucky. I was able to make the changes with root explorer. Good fix by the way.

Its definitely a good thing ADB exists then. Some got it to work which is great, others i guess will have to use ADB.
I will say the first time i did this, after i renamed the two files because they had hidden names, it failed for me. Those files were corrupt or something. So i re downloaded them and redid the steps with ES and it worked fine.
Another thing, do you have busybox and all that fun stuff installed too(ROM Manager)?
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.

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?
