[NEW GAPPS.ZIP & APK] New Android Market [2.2.6] for G1(Android 2.1&2.2)[16/12/2010]
EDIT: I've put the new gapps.zip to update all ur gapps . This has to work : ) Just flash this from the recovery . It'll overwrite your old gapps , giving you the latest of all the basic gapps (incl.the new Market )
You can then go to the new market and install the updated Gmail,Voice Search,Google Search,Maps,Youtube app etc.
New Android Market (version 2.2.6) features include:
1.Refund window changing to 15 minutes
2.New carousel with featured apps on main page
3.Widgets and Live Wallpapers categories added
4.Related content added to app page
5.Single page app viewing, all info in one place
6.Max size for apk files increased from 25 MB to 50 MB
Also the Downloads now get paused instead of getting cancelled if there is a network/data interruption
I am not making a flashable update since it might clash with the original Vending.apk . So here are the steps to remove the old market and install the new one.
1) Use adb to remove and install the new market.
a) adb remount
b)Backup your current Market by
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk Vending.apk
c) adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk
Rename the apk you downloaded (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT APK FOR ECLAIRS OR FROYO) to Market.apk and put the apk in the Android SDK/tools folder then
adb push Market.apk /system/app
OR
Simply use your favourite Root File Manager (Root Explorer ,SU explorer , Android Commander etc.) and go to /system/app and delete Vending.apk .
Then put the New Market apk in /system/app
Restart your phone and you're good to go

Make sure you restart your phone and follow my instructions carefully.
Also try running fix permissions from recovery incase it doesnt help.

You cannot replace or manage Android phone system files through normal File managers like Astro,Linda etc.
Best way I recommend is to Use Android Commander and follow the steps for installing without adb commands.

Hello HellRazorGod. I have a G1. And I just got it rooted with Cyanogen 2.2 Froyo ROM. But then as you know, cyanogenMod doesn't come with google apps anymore. And then so I tried your android market maybe it will work. And before I downloaded yours, I found many market apk files from other source. But then it still wound't work. But when I tried yours. Still didn't work. I tried AndroidCommander. Adb and still with the same results. I open it, and it is just all white, and after about 5 seconds go back to desktop screen. I tried every possible way. And tried all your steps. Even with the AndroidCommander. Can you help me out? I have a Android 2.2 Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.0 DS ROM. Would really appreciate it.

fart23 did you download the gapps .zip file and then flash it after you flashed your rom. if not then you need to go check out cyanogens wiki how to root/install cyanogen rom.

[APK] Camera app with silent camcorder record button

APK Link
Original discussion thread
I removed the loud irritating ding noise.

I can confirm it works as I just installed it by pushing it to system/app via root explorer.

seem to me this needs to be moved to theme and apps section
good work tho!

how to install camera.apk?
I am a forum noob trying to figure out how to install camera.apk over the existing system app. I consider myself a competent searcher/hacker but little experience with android beyond a careful root and backup. I tried hard searching the forums and web without success on how to do this. If you can help with instruction or point me to a resource I would appreciate it. Cheers

Instructions for installing apk with root explorer:
1. download apk or apks your sd card
2. navigate to file and copy or move apk or apk's
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. paste all apks
6. change permissions to match the other apks's in the system/app directory.
7. Reboot
Root explorer is my file manager of choose but any file manager with root access will work

X
So this is a totally off topic, sorta, question about the camera.apk...
I like the Camera on this device. Its fast, very fast but on the ROM Ultimate G2x the camera lags like no other!! But the one on CM7 is smooth and i like that one very much!
So my question is, can i replace the camera on the Ultimate ROM with the one found on the CM7 ROM even though one is running Android 2.2.2 and the other is running 2.3.[?] ?
Thank you for your time!

How do I change permissions? Or is it just fixing permissions in recovery?

Buy root explorer or do it in terminal. Its worth it to buy Root Explorer, you will use it in the future.

Super Weird... But I use CM7 (Build 54 with colorized nightlies) I backed up / replaced the camera, as I dont like the CM7 one (since I cant zoom with the dam volume buttons) and applied this .apk.
Gave me a boot loop... I dunno if it was cm7 or andriod commander.

I'm pretty sure you need the lg framework for it to work

Now if only we could patch the apk so it doesnt have issues when below 15% battery. I HATE that limitation.

In that case i use "hdr camera+" app its a really good camera app only thing is doesnt have flash. But other than that is a good camera app.

Hey I get a force close as soon as I try to open it. Any ideas?
Weapon 2.6 and used Root explorer to put in app folder and fixed permissions

Also Have Camera Problems
Hi guys my name is Natalli and I am new here so please don't attack if I posted in the wrong thread.
I believe this thread should be most appropriate.
I am working with a G2x freshly rooted as of today.
Flashed to a "P999_2.3.3_Stock_Tweaked_v1.2.2" rom that I found on this site.
So far everything is great.
MY DILEMMA:
Ever since I updated my G2x from the stock version over to Gingerbread I noticed that my awesome camera app disappeared. The one from the previous version had no shutter sound (which is a blessing) plus the settings were a lot better!
I do not like the camera layout or the position of the buttons.
I'd like to find the camera app that I had before. So would I be looking for the Froyo camera app? Or is it the LG camera??? I am confused please help.
I hate this new camera app, always have and always will.​

LG camera is the one your looking for. (That was also on froyo) its ported by flaco, you can find it in the developement section. Its not a 100%, but it works just find in my opinion ( since I don't use the ffc so much)

[Tool] Modified Batch File For Perm-Temp-Root

Hi,
I take no credit for this work at all. See thread below for credits:-
Perma-Temp Root with *R/W* & Stable! By Eugene373
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161283
I dont use Terminal Emulator and so have modified the batch file so as it does not install it. (See attached file). To use this modded batch file, simply replace the batch file from the download in the above thread and run as instructed.
Also, I have superuser elite and wanted to use the latest beta version. The lates beta version can be downloaded after finding it with a gogle search (if you have superuser elite and are entitled to it) and the SU file and superuser.apk files can also be replaced.
These will be updated when the Batch file is run again. If terminal emulator is already installed, it can be deleted and wont be installed again.
Cheers

I don't really see the point in this. You deleted one line from a script. This is just clutter. Honestly if other people don't know how to delete one line from a text file, they shouldn't be doing anything root-related in the first place.

I agree that it is only a single line, but not everyone is as competent as you and I provided additional information about super user. I did this because I thought it may be of help to some people. If its clutter, I apologise...but it helped one person and so I'm happy

Good for you then! That's the spirit, though perhaps not understood by some.

Well then how about a bat file howto guide? That would be pretty cool.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

A HOW TO guide would be outstanding, but would require more than you think. You have to consider WHERE people have stored files such as adb.exe.
Editing the BAT is simple enough...Just download it, right click, then choose edit. Remove what you need and then run. This assumes that you got the thing to work as it originally had been intended to though.

Easy Hulu on Transformer - now works on ICS too

Hello, So I was wanting to use hulu on my transformer and was tired of having to do what is listed here as a fix
" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076853&highlight=hulu " since I am lazy.
I have had hulu working on my samsung Epic 4G for awhile using the method below.
" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142155 "
So I was wanting to know if it would work on this tab and gave it a shot
Yeaahhhh it works
From that forum I downloaded the flash fix (attached below) and just extracted the data/flash/libflashplayer.so file. Then using AnTek Explorer I copied that file to the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory and hit Ok when asked to overwright the current file.
If you have clockwork and a kernal that supports init.d then you can just flash the zip and should be good to go from that point on since it will run the script automatically at each boot. If not you will just need to copy and paste the libflashplayer.so file each time you restart which is what I currently have to do since I have a B90 and am only rooted and straight stock without a customer recovery or kernal.
I only use Dolphin and confirm it works with that and stock. Cannot confirm any other browsers though I can't see why it would not work.
-----------------------------
EDIT
So this stopped working when I updated to ICS
After looking through the forums I was able to get a updated file that does work in ICS from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427095
Again I just copy and paste the LIB file into the correct folder and replace the existing one
The only difference is that when using the stock Browser you have to select Request Desktop Page from the menu
I just use Dolphin and works just fine
The file also includes a script that can be used with script manager to auto-load on each boot. Follow instructions from original thread if you want to do that.

Can anybody confirm if this works on the any of the ICS ROMS?

The zip does not work. Status 0 error.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Thanks man, I've spent the last hour or two trying to run that script from other posts to get flash to work for Hulu. Don't know why I was getting the errors I was (wasn't finding the file?), but this worked much better on my TF301 (stock/rooted).
Edit: Never mind, I've been punked, it will show the advertisement, but doesn't seem to load the video. I'm back to figuring out what happened with the script. Haha, the script didn't work because, as noted above, I'm not on a busyboxed ROM like I'm used to... but either way I'm still only able to watch ads.

[Q] Boot animation won't work

SGT 2 7.0 , rooted it last night with the tutorial here, cm10
Root checker says its good and I can install root apps
I'm dieing to install a custom boot animation and the moving the zip file into system/media folder just isn't working. I believe the other suggestion was to move the zip file, it Root Explorer, into the data/local folder thats not working either
Someone help a poor noob? Hey, I'm not that bad, I got this far on my own

As far as I know, the kernel maker has to support this feature, and it's not in the stock ROM. You have to go CM or similar for this feature.

I'm pretty sre I'm on Cm10

Sorry, didn't see that. Use ES file explorer for the copying, it has good error messages. Make sure to enable mounting system in ES settings. You may need to download "mount system rw" from Play Store. You could also download Rom Toolbox Pro, which will do it for you, but it costs something like $5.

no luck there either and they make it look so easy haha. ah well, thanks anyways

Okay this could be a couple of things...
First if your new animation is already named bootanimation.zip it won't let you overwrite the existing one. Delete the existing CM10 bootanimation.zip file in the system/media directory. Now you should be able to move the new animation file to the target directory.
If that doesn't work make sure ES File Explorer has the rights to make these changes.
Go to ES File explorer settings.
3rd from the bottom it says root settings.
Click on that and check all 4 things in the next menu.
Super User should prompt you allow access for ES File Explorer. Grant it.
Reboot.
Now you should be able to move the file you want to the media folder in the system partition.
After you put in the new file you may have to update the file permissions as well. I forget what they are supposed to be but I usually just check everything as read/write for all permissions options on bootanimations.
If none of that works...I dunno...come back with more specific errors you are encountering. Specific error messages, etc.

sheesh
I've done every instruction, followed them to the letter and the default boot ani won't even go away although i can find no hint of any boot ani files anywhere. it appears to function as it should, deletes the files, moves the new ones, file permissions are ok... there's just no change whatsoever, it's kind of baffling. my tablet may be possessed by he devil.

Waitwaitwait. You're saying there is NO bootanimation.zip in /system/media and it still has the stock bootanimation? Try doing a system-wide search for bootanimation.zip using CM file manager. If it does come up, note its location. If there is no bootanimation.zip in the correct folder, Android will play one hardcoded into the kernel, an image of flashing "android" text. So if there is no animation in the right place and you still see the stock CM one, you are putting it in the wrong place.

wowzers!
OK, so I realized that I didn't have cm file browser and did a search and finally did the nightly update. What a trip that was. It got stuck on the boot ani and wouldn't shut off or anything so I had to wait for the damn thing to run its battery dead. It starts and definatly has a different ani now. The whole new layout is messing me up bad, took me several hours just to get back online.
I have even more questions now.
BTW I'm on android version 4.1.4 now I believe.
For instance, apparently I still have all my apps installed because if I go to the store it says so and won't let me download them but I can't find them anywhere.
And some how I disabled that bar on the bottom that allows me to go back or switch windows and if I go into a program I can't get out of it because I can't switch windows.
HELP! AAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!

ok
I got the window switcher bar back, it was extended desktop option. Still can't see these apps I supposedly have instslled.

Oops. Sorry about that.

Try using ROM Toolbox Lite, it's a free app. It worked for me.

In Lineage OS 13 it's possible...
Like mentioned above - in LOS 13 from AndroidAndi it's possible to change/overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip contained in system/media. Done here with a nice Aurora Borealis bootanimation
