[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

It's pretty simple to do with Root Explorer. I can write a guide if enough people want it...?

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!

[MOD] CM7 Battery % mod Honeycomb style

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):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's the link:
http://www.multiupload.com/A03A3LYUKF
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.

I'm a rookie, would you please give details explanation how to do this
, yes my phone is rooted hboot unlocked with s-on.

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.

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?

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)?

Get forward DELETE on Asus keyboard

Just thought I'd share this because the inability to forward delete has been bugging me forever!
All credit go to @IPDunwell - thanks man!
You can easily remap the LOCK key to be your forward delete.
Obviously you need root for this and mount system as writable.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout/asusdec.kl
Make a backup copy, open it in a text editor and look for line 142
Replace "SLEEP" with "FORWARD_DEL"
Save the file, reboot
Hallelujah!

I have copied and then modified the copied file and saved but when I try to replace the file in the keylayout folder ES Text Editor won't replace the file. I have also tried to edit the asusdec.kl file while still in the keylayout folder but ES Text Editor won't save it. Do I need to change the permissions of that folder? If so how?

You have to mount system as writeable so that you can make changes to system files.
To tell you the truth: I hate ES File Explorer. Never liked the UI and I wasted the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how you do it in ES, but it won't let me change permissions on files and folders although it has root rights. :banghead:
Download File Manager HD, go to settings, check: mount system folder. That's how easy it can be....

Just found it
[You have to long press Root explorer to get the option to mount system files as RW.

After editing the asusdec.kl file line 142 from SLEEP to FORWARD_DEL the lock key did not function at all. After changing back to SLEEP it acted like a lock key again. Am I using the correct syntax? Checked it with Polaris Office, stock and boat browser, thekey did not function at all.

Well, thanks for that! How intuitive.... My statement about ES still stands
Don't know what you did, it works fine for me. Just flashed CROMi-X 5.2.3 so I had to edit that file again, did it in ES and it works.
You replaced just the word SLEEP with FORWARD_DEL? Absolutely nothing else?
You saved the file and rebooted?

After editing and saving asusdec.kl the lock key no lnger functioned at all. I changed it bac to SLEEP and the key began acting as a lock key again. The syntax was FORWARD_DEL is this correct?

It works
Seems the problem was with how I was testing.
Thanks Ken

Forgot to add this to 5.2.3 someone remind for the next release.
I might make a flashable zip when I get home to make it easy to install as the lock key is all but useless.

just "DEL" not "FORWARD_DEL"
On my TF700T the suggested change to "asusdec.kl" as "FORWARD_DEL" did not work for me. But I am running 4.3.1, actually Pacman---a CM 10.2 -AOKP hybrid.
I used "DEL" on the key 142 as suggested elsewhere on this forum....seems to work like the backspace key...
still looking

I doubt pacman understands the keyboard for Asus properly. You'll have to look for which layout file it is using but you may be out of luck. On Asus 4.3 is is called asuspec.kl

Thanks for replying! I thought I was on to something until further research revealed AOSP does not have some missing "driver" files for the hardware kb. Therefore some of the Asus
keyboard dock keys (top row, WLAN, BT toggle, etc will not work).

This post refers to the tf300 but its probably similar to the 700 in this respect.
Thanks for your lead, I will check it out!!!

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.

I'll just set it as ringtone on my phone

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.

Could you give us more detailed instructions?

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
