[Q] soundhound_freemium.apk needed - HTC Sensation

Hi.
I'm trying to update to my ICS through OTA, but I guess I might have deleted the stock soundhound previously.
Can anyone share the stock soundhound_freemium.apk. I tried installing the soundhound free over Google Play but doesn't seems to solve the issue. I guess it still need the stock one in order for me to continue with my OTA update. thanks

i got it but it is inside my home laptop and I'm at work, thus i'll post a link for the file somewhere tonight when I am at home.
Anyway,you just need to push it to /system/app/ folder and then restart your ICS update all over again. That did the trick for me.

Easier just to flash the RUU and be done with it

tried that it wouldn't work think it maybe cos I'm flashing the same version no idea,
But with the files zipped I can use es explorer to add in the files I deleted as I know what I removed 1 apk and 6 ring tones
I too am at work till 8pm UK time
Cheers to you both

try this, see whether this works : mediafire.com/?fyi8k79lann6rkd
if failed, another thing you can do is to unpack the system.img (inside rom.zip of your unpacked RUU installer). My best guess is that the system.img should contain the Soundhound_Freemium.apk as well.
my post is still < 5, can't put outside links yet.

well got out of work early down loaded your file at work on my phone and had it in place by the time I was home thanks to es explorer, the update has got past the point where it crashes so I am hoping the loss of ring tones that I took off wont effect it.
im at about 80% done so far... fingers crossed.
thank you, your an absolute gem

EDIT: I actually downloaded it directly on my phone and when i unzip it makes a folder but I downloaded on my pc and it actually might work now so sorry for disturbing!
And thank you carbonytte you're a real hero haha

Daily Challenge apk?

I have searched high, and low for this apk and I keep coming up empty handed. I know the widget is available via a custom Rom, but I rather not take that route just yet.
Is this apk out there?
I tried to take the notepad/task widget from Fresh RoM and install it on a couple roms with ES FIle and it wouldn't work so not sure if you even can do it that way.
Interested in finding out a way to get some of these widgets myself.
I was told if I can't get the apk in this forum, I can't be done lol. My fingers are crossed...
Still searching...
Just meant a few fellow Evo owner's that are also interested in the apk. I guess Im not alone

If you see it in a custom rom, then download the rom, rename it to a zip file, and just take the apk for the widget right out of there and install it to your phone.

I found the apk, and I transfered it to my SD card. I found it via Astro, but I get !Application not install message when I hit the install button.
Now Im lost...
Did you get the apk from the system/app or data/app folder? If it's the system/app folder, you're going to need to adb push it to the system/app/ folder using adb rather than package install it.

I'm not familiar with unrevoked, and what permissions it gives you, but, are you experienced with adb at all? Do you have SDK tools installed?
unrevoked3 is a partial root. I would have to go with simpleroot to do what you speak of.
I need to take some time and sit down for a full root. Right now I'm riding around, and time is not my friend.

Hulu on any rom and no modified apps

Whambam I've got it! You don't need to be deoxed and all that jazz. To use the hulu app you will need the modified version of flash. But to watch on the browser you can use the newest version of flash.
Step 1. Open the browser app
Step 2. Clear the url and type "about:debug" then press go (if you did it right nothing will happen)
Step 3. Press menu>more>settings
Step 4. Scroll down UAString then select" desktop"
Tada!!!!
Edit: apparently you still need the modded Hulu flash

Nope no go.
Does not work.
Strange because it works on my friends moto x and my incredible but I will admit I am running the modifed flash but my friends x is using the stock flash.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It works on the modified flash. I have not found a modified version of the newest flash yet.
didn't work for me... Where can I find the hulu app? I searched and couldn't find it in the market.

Modifying flash is quite easy. Just edit libflashplayer.so and change "AND 10,1,92,10" to "WIN 10,1,82,76".

Sorry, not going to post an apk. I've been down that road and you get nothing but grief from everyone for whom it doesn't work.

Unpacking the apk and isolating the file was no problem. But opening the file in a hex editor (I just tried an online one) produced a bunch of binary code I could not understand. Maybe when I get off of work I'll have more time to try and figure this out.

Actually, I found what seems to be an even better way. With this method you can keep the newest version of Flashplayer (10.1.92.xx from the Nexus/Market), but enable Hulu. Download the HuluPack 2.zip above. Open it and extract the install_flash_player.apk from the zip. Now open the .apk (explore, not try to isntall, Astro works well here), and find the libflashplayer.so file inside the lib folder in the .apk. Extract this to your SD card. Open root explorer, navigate to /system/lib and rename libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.bak or cut and paste it to your SD card, whatever, just make sure you don't delete it. Now copy the libflashplayer.so from the HuluPack2 install_flash.apk into /system/lib. You can do all this whether Flash is part of your rom or installed using an apk, and you can do this without rebooting the phone. After copying the libflashplayer.so to /system/lib, websites will recognize your flash player as a slightly older version of desktop flash, 10.52.x.x, and Hulu will work, but you will still get the benefit of better performance from the most recent flash player available.

Default SGS3 sounds & ringtones download?

Anyone still on stock care to upload them, or have a link where they're already uploaded?
Some are strongly against them, but I love them. I'd much rather wake up to a soft acoustic piano, then some annoying/loud alarm.
funny, the first thing I did was go and find a "real" ringtone....
This place doesn't have the S3 yet, but they have quite a few others..

Is it flashable through recovery, or does it need to be manually placed in a folder. If the latter, what folder(s) do the files need to go into, I'm guessing in /system somewhere?
UPDATE: NM, found where it goes, in media/audio, it doesn't look like a flashable zip.

No, it's not a flashable zip. I should have said that. You would need to copy these into /system/media to work. You might also need to change the permissions on them to get them to work. I copied one sound to another folder (I wanted to use it as an alarm), and I needed to change the permissions to RW to do so.

Here also is a link to a zip of the whole audio folder from a stock SGSIII on verizon.
Just got it two days ago, and had a chance to do an adb pull of the device earlier today.
I remembered seeing this thread yesterday, so made the zip of the folder in linux earlier, just got on lunch and upped it to dropbox.
I see someone else already has it up, but, figured i'd share it anyway as another copy. Also not flashable, just a zip of the folder itself.
Sent from a digital distance.
both links are dead.... does anyone still have these to share? been looking all over for them
Edit: just copied them from system/media to the SD card using Astro

[Q] Help? Accidently deleted People APK?

Hey guys,
I think I accidentally deleted the people system APK?! I can no longer save contacts. Wondering what the best way to fix this issue would be without flashing back to stock rom. I am currently rooted and running stock 4.4.2 KK, but I have made a lot of MODS and am running the Galaxy Gear Manager for my watch which is a huge process to get running that I don't want to have to repeat.
Any help is mucho appreciated!!!
If you can find the apk somewhere install that. Otherwise flash the system.img from the factory image.

No, it'll reinstall all the system files. If you modified any of them you'll lose that but I doubt you modified any. This will only work if your bootloader is unlocked. If it isn't then you'll lose everything unlocking it.

Do you still need help with this? It's not that difficult to just pull the app and move it into the right system folder. Once you do that, change permissions to match the other apps, and reboot, you should be back to normal. I'll post the apk if you need it.

He might not be in a situation where he can download a large file like a complete rom. He did mention being at work. Anyway, these should work:

If you are deodexed, let me know, and don't use just the apk ^ there or it will force close constantly.
Just use a file manager that has root access (ES File Manager is a good, free choice, if you don't have another) and move the app and odex file to:
/system/priv-app
Make sure to change the permissions. The 3 Read options should be checked and the first Write option. If you aren't sure, just read the permissions of another app in that folder and match it. Then just reboot and should be back to normal.

(LG V20, T-Mobile) Change Emoji from stock when rooted

Thought i'd put this on it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the sea of comments where i put it originally. Mods, if this belongs somewhere else please move.
For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :

download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.

Im rooted and still cant edit system files. I re-ran the recowvery script, and when i got to TWRP, I swiped to allow changes to the system partition. Then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip then flashed SuperSu.
I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?

Okay. I can change the file of the original .tff to *_OLD.tff but cant copy and paste the new one to the /system/fonts directory because its a "read only directory". Yet ES File Explorer says Readable and Writable.
Any ideas i can try?

Try solid explorer.. that's what I use..
So i tried this deal and even after renaming and replacing i get no emogi anymore. Check picture attached. And renaming back old to normal did not help either. I did a factory reset and emoji still missing. Can some help. Thanks
