No, but it works on current Froyos, so there shouldn't be a problem to create your mod for people using Froyo already.
EDIT:
But I understand that modding of YouTube may be hard cause of obfuscation, so you just don't wanna work with too many versions of it.

Google does not update the Youtube.apk that often, I'm pretty sure it's final, or at least close to final. We onlt had 2 Youtube.apks during éclair's lifecycle... we have Froyo's Youtubr.apk... unodexed by default.
I think it's doable, and it is why wait? Thanks for your work, though!
just my 2c

Aight, I fixed the 2.1 App to work with Froyo, I am still testing it. Going to release it in a few, if everything works flawlessly..

Froyo fix posted.

First of all, i love your app and it works great so far on froyo on my nexus one
I just have one question though...
After installing this app, can i delete the other (the official) youtube app from my phone?? or does this app/mod relies on the official youtube app to function correctly?

Nice work, works well on Froyo

Alright cool.
Yup, I am rooted.
Going to remove it using ADB now.
Thanks

you should post a changelog so we know whats new =) Great job!

Sweet!
Is it possible to make it so that it keeps what you've streamed/buffered in memory while still watching the video?
Like, sometimes i cant hear something clearly or missed something in the video so i drag the bar back but it has to re-buffer when i do that -__- it would be nice if it kept it in memory temporarily so it would just play smooth instead of having to start downloading all over again when i rewind

???
Can i know where the downloaded videos are geting saving

is there still support for this mod?

what he said ^

Can someone repost on a different site; I'm having trouble getting either of the versions... plzNthx

[Q/Idea] Navigation music controls?

Anyone know of an app that will allow music controls on the Google Navigation screen? And if not, maybe this would be something helpful to others, if someone could write this?

Bump! I this bugs the crap out of me! I was a long time iphone user and switched to android recently. This is the only thing that bugs me about the switch. With the iPhone I could double tap the home button, scroll left and control whatever music was playing without leaving the navigation app or use the built in app music controls.
On android I have to scroll down to the notification menu, click on my music player, change the song, scroll back down into the notification menu, click on navigation to reopen it. I know it's a little thing but it's really annoying.
Any fixes or work around?

bump again, this drives me crazy when i'm driving! I have to decide before I leave whether I want to use the music app and actually be able to control the songs, or use the GPS and actually see where I'm going. Is there any way to get music controls on the GPS screen, or even another app that will at the very least give you the next turn information and let you control your music from one screen?

I quoted your older post because I don't have an answer for your most recent post.
The workaround is going to depend on your Rom. I have not been stock in over a year so I'm not sure there is one for that.
I usually have my audio steaming through a Bluetooth device and can use that to control my music on all the roms I have tried.
The Rom I am currently playing with is ClearDroid 1.4.1 build 2, which has a recent apps window in the notification area. You can quickly switch back and forth between music and navigation using this. 1 swipe and one press. If music is playing the notification area also gives you info on the track and a pause button. Tapping it opens the music app but pausing the music causes this notification to clear and you would have to switch back to the music app to restart.
I seem to recall more complete music controls in the notification area of other roms. I can load some nandroids to check.
Now I'm in a Pickle

Change Shoulder Buttons

SOURCE CODE ATTACHED
This is the official thread for the "Change Shoulder Buttons" app.
Compatibility:
At this point it looks like the app fully works for some devices, partially works for others, and not at all for some. Different ROMS may also affect functionality.
I am currently working on a "configuration" option which will allow users to calibrate the app for their specific device.
Update
This app has been updated.
No more restart required.
2.3
1. App is now free!
This app is now free!
Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons
Description:
This app will allow you to use the shoulder buttons (L and R) of the Xperia Play for different functions.
You can use them to:
None: Stops the service. Shoulder buttons will stay at default.
Media: L will be previous and R will be next for media.
Camera: R will be focus and take picture.
Volume: L will be volume up and R will be volume down.
Up/Down: L will be up and R will be down.
Navigate: L will be browser back and R will be browser forward.
Advanced:
Tasker Support! (Kinda)
To change button modes do the following:
Action -> Misc -> Action Intent
Action: "com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons.ACTION_CHANGE_MODE"
Extra: "Mode:XXXXX"
See screenshot, no quotes, case sensitive.
Note: The game function of the buttons never get disabled. This app just listens for those buttons and then executes a command.
Coming Soon:
1. Custom Mode
2. Support for more Xperia Play devices / ROMS.
3. Real Tasker Support Way Later
4. Some automation maybe
Please post all questions, comments, bugs, and requests in this thread.
Thank You!

How about assigning the keys for volume control? In book reading Apps, L and R are much more convenient than the volume buttons when I have to flip the page.
A widget for quick mode switching could be nice as well.

Sure I can add that. But remember, a restart is still required.
Widget, probably not ... or maybe later ... im not so good with them.

Nice app...but when I set the shoulder buttons for media it keeps skipping and rewinding music when I'm playing a game... Lol.

You mean because you press L and R right?
Once I figure out how to change the buttons without a restart then we could use something like Tasker to change them based on different conditions. Camera if CAMERA is open, Music only if music app is opened, Game otherwise. Or maybe just manually change them faster.

Yeah it's when I press the L and R.
Oh ok...I'm not too familiar with changing stuff on my Play yet so I'm still learning as I go but great app nonetheless.

Why is this app not free?

*Note: Yes there is a free app (which may not be working right now?) and yes, we all know how to do this mod (Simple file change) and yes, I made this app in a few hours and yes, it can use some more work but, this is like a fund raiser for XDA members. Please don't ask "Why is this not free?"

This seems like a paid version for an app that is already free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.button.changer
Same functions, same results.

Yep, there's already a free app by an XDA member.

any way to achive this without restart? Would it work if you assign each button to a separate app (similary to assigning to camera currently I assume and probably restart first time only). The app you assign simply check what is required in an extra config file which can be changed on the fly without need to restart. Is this possible at all or is there a particular limitation how android works with those buttons? Thanks in advance

Yup, I actually posted that in the OP.
It hasn't been working for some people including me, maybe different models are different.
Anyways, if this app sells at all that developer will be first in the donate list along with the guy who found a way to use the official PSX emulator with custom images.

This is coming soon, it was in the market description but I posted it in the OP.
About your idea, it wouldn't work for two reasons.
1. You can't assign a button to an app (that I know of)
2. You wouldn't want to open an app every time you hit a button (especially when playing a game) it would be too slow.
I am exploring two ideas to get this working.
1. Find what causes those files to be loaded. Find away to restart that and force it to load the files again.
2. A much harder way, but this one will work for sure (I've got a proof of concept but no time yet.)

Thank you for explaining. I look forward to the no reboot version. Page up and down option would be great. Many thanks in advance

Can you add functionality to the default web browser? Like make L be the back button and R be the Forward button?
I really liked that function on my PSP browser (years ago when I used it every so often).
Also, add the functionality to the default Launcher? L for next left screen, R for next right screen. I'm not sure if either of these is even possible, but just throwing some ideas at you!
I'd be down to purchase it if you added either one. Thanks!

Take that even further, how about a completely Xperia-Play optimized launcher? ADW is open source if not mistaken.

Ha ha, you guys are trying to change a simple file edit into a full blown alternate OS.
Sorry guys, not happening anytime soon, I still havent been able to change buttons without a restart yet!
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

I'd settle for the web browser L and R function

I will settle for pgdown pgup or even dpadup and down for shoulder buttons as long as they don't overwrite their function implemented already in games, emulators and camera mod apps. There is another post regarding shoulder buttons for ereaders - i'm away from my pc so cannot link - but it recommends another app there too.

Sorry, the files are different in 2.3.2 vs 2.3.3.
I will disable the app for now. I deserve that 1 star rating for that.
Anyways, download the attached file, extract the file inside and copy it (using any file manager, I use EStrong) to /system/usr/keylayout override any existing file.
Reboot afterwards, this should fix your issue.
Again sorry, I'm bringing the app down for now. I'll almost done with a big update that will not require restarts anyways.

It's alright dude! I fixed it myself, just restored from my backup. Thought you outa know though! Look forward to the no reboot version!!
(p.s. Yours is the only button change app that actually worked...apart from the obvious issue ...so thanks!!)

For anyone who was waiting. App has been updated.
No restart required anymore.
More modes coming soon.
... ...
This app pretty much uses the same approach I am going to use to translate buttons presses into touchscreen presses.

VolumeSwipe pre-release

I made an app that lets you adjust volume in a number of apps (including Netflix, Hulu+, Gallery Video, Amazon Video, Amazon mp3) by swiping along the side of the screen. You can also turn on boost mode to adjust volume up to 140%.
Here's the apk. It's free, but does contain an ad for a paid app of mine. Since it's Open Source, you can build your own copy without this ad.
I know there is already an app that lets you adjust volume by swiping, but I thought it would be nicer to have this active only in a few apps, so it doesn't get in the way in other apps.
I eventually hope to add a feature where you can select additional apps to the list where VolumeSwipe is active, but that's for the future. But if there is some popular video/audio playing app that I've left out, let me know.

This seems cool. What's the other app you're talking about?
thanks for the work you put in.

The other app is Volume Control, I'm not sure why the OP states that the other one (volume control) gets in the way since it has an auto-hide feature.

VolumeControl hides visually, but of course it's still there even when hidden, so it will get in the way if you want to tap on something in that area of the screen in an app. Ditto for my VolumeSwipe, except that the problem is minimized by the fact that VolumeSwipe is only active in a few apps.
Also, I think the narrowness of the VolumeControl bar, even on its widest setting, might make it harder to hit (though I haven't tried VolumeControl specifically on our Kindle, since I haven't rooted our Kindle due to DMCA concerns). VolumeSwipe provides a much wider bar. I think that's probably nicer if, say, you are watching a movie at the gym.

Sounds nice. You say "a number of apps (including...)". Could we have a complete list of the apps you include? BTW, you mention that your slider is narrower than Vol Control. Vol control's slide width is adjustable in the settings

Awesome. Reminds me of Spinal Tap: These go to eleven...

Awesome app, thanks. Could you add an option to shut off the notification? Not a huge deal, but now I keep checking my notification bar thinking i got an email or text.
Also, could you add the YouTube app to the list of apps this works in if it isn't already? Thanks!
Damn you Swype!

thanks.......just what I was looking for........

Bumped ...the app has been updated ...

I don't know what you mean by auto hide. Right now, when you let go of the swipe area, it disappears. Or at least it's supposed to.

Not disappearing on mine for some reason but thats what I meant by auto hide. If you made a invisible option that would be a good solution /feature to solve my issue and anyone else who may come across it. It's a great app to have on the KF though especially for use with youtube (every vid is recorded @ diff vol levels) ... I was having to exit youtube everytime to adjust the vol (annoying) but now I can just swipe! Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, 1.01 was buggy.
I think I fixed some bugs in 1.02.
I recommend uninstalling 1.01, then rebooting, then installing 1.02.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in Android's package manager (which I reported to Google), it is necessary to turn off VolumeBoost before installing a new a version. I have not been able to find an easy way around this.
NOTE: USE BOOST ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT COULD DAMAGE SPEAKERS (especially if you turn off the non-uniform boost option in the settings).

It's officially in the Appstore.

[APP][2.2+] Media Control

I have once created an app very similar to this but limited. I finally got around to making it better. I must say its pretty awesome now
Simply install the attached APK, open it, and either create your notification, or set up the auto method. Then Control your media
Very simple to use and easy to love
Should work with all media apps including Pandora
UPDATE 10-3-13 v1.0.1:
-Fixed layout issue on MDPI devices (i hope)
-Fixed force close issue

Works well enough, but could be improved. Shows pause button even when no music is playing, so should show play button. Also, icon is bland. But as I said, works o.k

Needs more improvement:
1. Shows really big buttons on my MDPI phone (LG Optimus L3).
2. Application has resolution incompatibility when opened (Texts inside overlaps).
3. Suggestion: Enable to add custom buttons (Shuffle / Repeat / Vol+ / Vol-) on notifications.
4. Suggestion: Change App Icon.
But it works. That's a good sign! But again, I'm gonna uninstall it first, aince its pretty unstable on its first stage. Will keep track for updates!

The only way to detect when music starts playing is a very hacky and resource hungry way that i would prefer not to use. So I set the button to pause assuming you are going to be listening to music anytime soon... And whats wrong with the icon?

I updated the OP can you guys try the newer version?
