[Q] NSCollab 1.0.17 - youtube app?

Hey sorry everyone in case this is a known issue and I failed to find it and also sorry for not posting it in the NSCollab thread but seeing as I'm new here I don't have poting rights in the dev forums yet.
I switched from my stock NS to NSCollab 1.0.17 yesterday and today I noticed that I can't open the youtube app anymore and I also can't un-/reinstall or update it.
Did yomething go wrong flashing or is it my own fault for only skimming my appbrain list before pushing most of it onto the new rom?
Can I install the cm7 gapps zip on nscollab?
Questions over questions
oh and on a side note (just remembered it and didn't look for an answer myself yet so feel freee to ignore the question): Which of the cpu clocking settings is most like the stock one? conservative or on demand? And what if I use other apps to set it like setcpu or juice defender? do i have to remove the cm7 settings somehow?

Just go into /system/app and find youtube.apk and delete it using a file manager or adb. Then go into the market and install the youtube app from there.
Ondemand is the stock governor.

hrm can't be deleted because the file system is read-only?
Even so - shouldn't rooting have taken care of that?
Sorry - android noob here. THough basically I know about linux permissions etc....

I use Super Manager, it will change the attributes for any file you want to delete.

Had this same issue, simply fix use root manager and navigate to /system/app as zephiK said then at the top tap the "Mount R/W" then delete the youtube.apk file and download it from the Market.

ah - is see i can change the way filesystems are mounted. with nscollab using explorer I thought I'd go for buying root explorer for that. works like a charm. plus i almost feel at home now being a linux guy on pc
Thanks everone
about the cpu-governors: are you sure? for me on-demand uses battery like there's no tomorrow with the same widgets/services/connections active I always had on stock NS while conservative seems to be in the same ballpark according to battery monitor widget. (and yes - the battery has been calibrated since i put on the custom rom and both governors are being used with min freq 100 and max freq 1000)

Yeah stock uses ondemand. You can play around with it and find out which is better.
Personally battery life for me has been fine so I never bothered with it.

Sorry - one more question. 1.20 can only be flashed above 1.19 without data-wipe? The "or above" made me think of a typo and I run 1.18 atm

so it was a typo by frank in the nscollab thread? I'm asking because 1.0.19 and 1.0.20 have different launchers again from 1.0.18

Project fix gb wifi

This is going to be the thread used for fixing GB wifi, i didnt want it in the dev section so it would just get moved here
first thing i have for you guys to test is this init.d script by roach
just rename the file after the last init.d file you have SO IF YOU LAST INIT.D FILE SAYS 05WHATEVER THEN YOU NEED TO RENAME THIS FILE TO 06WHATEVER manually push this file to /system/etc/init.d and make sure the permissions are all checked
please get back to me

Ok, just ran wifi analyzer on my work's wifi connection to test this. Ran the test before the patch then pushed file in (renamed it to 06wifi_fix with no extension), rebooted the phone, let it sit for a couple of minutes and tried again.
BEFORE PATCH = -88dbm to -90dbm
AFTER PATCH = -89dmb to -92dbm and it seemed to bounce around a little more
Lower numbers are better btw, so it doesn't look like it helped. FWIW, on froyo those numbers were around -75 to -80 dbm

while in the gb leaks i looked up carefully theres a max of 3 bcm4330____.bins... maybe the lack of these files are the reason why the wifi is so low~

Hey guys I'm a newb here but I installed the KII rom leak and the Doc's kernel and my wifi is 10*'s as fast . I was amazed at the buttery smoothness and the speed of my wifi!!!! also my batttery is lasting 3 days now instead of 24 hrs I'm pumped!
Thanks to all!

I used Reduxx Froyo and WIFI signal was very strong.
Since updating to Valhalla GB (KH2) 2.3.4 WIFI signal seems very low, i even flashed KI3, but no change...
Can i take froyo modem and use it on GB?

problem is that the kernel source isn't available for gb. If it was, we would have rebuilt the wifi.ko stuff and would have fixed it by now, we would have also had a full cm7 and a full miui

[Q] Missing boot animation

So I've been using gtg's infused 2.2.3 with bedwa's infusion kernel and mattedblues theme when one day I reboot my phone and no boot animation. All I get is the initial Samsung splash screen and lockscreen.
I've navigated to /system/media using root explorer and see the "bootanimation.zip" there and I even tried changing it to "sanim.zip" and still no boot animation either way.
I think I may be missing a file in /system/media but I can't figure out what it might be.
Any ideas?

Change the file permissions to rwr-r-

Certain kernels have it disabled. Try reflashing bedwa's kernel.

Maybe your bootanimation binary has been corrupted. Have you tried flashing Hellraiser(I know you dont need it for the rom ur on). It worked for me,when mine went bye-bye. My 2 cents.
Keep the change.Lol

Why do you even want one? It just lengthens your boot time.
I remove mine on purpose.

FALSE. It starts and runs in the background as other services are loading. Once the last service is started, it then exits. It does nothing to add to your boot time. You will have to wait for all those services to start to have a working phone in the first place anyway, why not make the time go by with some animation?

I have the same issue. Infused 2.2.3 with infusion gb kernel. Otherwise phone is unstoppable and amazingly badass...want a bootanimation though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

May be a silly question but have you recently installed any init.d scripts that disable the bootanimation? I know one version of the 99tweaks is specifically no bootanimation and others may do so as well without calling them out. You might check the files in your init.d for anything that mentions "boot animation" or "bootanimation". See if something has forced it off.

V6 Supercharger for ICS

I was wondering if anyone has tweaked the services.jar for the v6 supercharger for the g2x? I'm running it now but still get USB connection errors. I downloaded an "updated" version of the script and ended up bricking my phone and losing all the data on my SD card. If anyone is interested and have the time then please let me know. And if this is in the wrong section... my bad and feel free to delete or move it.

I actually had the same problem when I ran the 'ics" version of the v6 supercharger, but fortunately I didn't lose the data on my SD card. I just got stuck in a bootloop after it restarted so I just had to do a restore from my nand backup (thankfully I backed it up first : D ). I'm running Hellfire 1.2 with the kernel it came with and haven't had any issues other than the common cm9 issues that have been mentioned. It's good to hear that someone else has it working on Hellfire so I'll try it again from the link

Well It work on me, you have to follow every step on the script.
If it tells you to reboot even though you havent finish all do it, then come back to the
Script Manager and finish where you left of..

All of the services.jar that are posted on the guide are for different phones running different ics. I was looking for a patched services.jar file specifically made for cm9 for the g2x. That is all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I'm able to run pretty much any CM9 services.jar on my milestone.
Try the THS CM9 - it's done by me and it's worked on alot of different devices.

That's the one I'm currently using but every time I reboot my phone initializes my apps and when it gets to the home screen an error pops up saying "select an application for the USB device. %1$s is not responding. Would you like to close it" Any ideas on fixing that zepp?
Edit- I was just pushing the services.jar file with root explorer. Then I cooked it into the rom and reflashed it and now no errors. Still says it breaking strict mode policy on boot up but no more USB connection errors.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

So it doesn't initialize the apps on boot anymore, right?
Yeah doing the permissions usually fixes that.
I'm not sure that I know what that strict mode policy error is tho.
It also seems that the text on buttons don't always say the correct word... so it would indeed be better if you had your rom's services.jar patched.

It doesn't initialize anymore but it does say the strict mode policy thing. And I tried to patch my services.jar for the cm9 selfkang3 rom but I cant seem to do it right. Is there anyway I can upload the file and you patch it for me?

I've had problems with fix permissions in RM, too. Read somewhere in XDA that it's different in CWM than in RM. I've used a script in Rom Toolbox Pro and it shows the same type of log I see in RM, but goes faster. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RM's fp just a script anyway?

If you've changed rom's and restored your apps from backups created while running other rom's, often that will screw everything up.
Try fresh installing all your apps from the Google Play store, or try deleting the app data and caches on whatever apps seem to be halting ROM Manager while fixing permissions.

Had the same issue of permission fix hanging forever, but Busybox install seemed to resolve it.
But my intend of fixing the permission was to get rid of the warning message that I get after a reboot:
"System UIDs Inconsistent"
This hasn't dissipated... any ideas?
