Finally after researching and searching for 2 days I came to the Solution to go around Pakistan's restriction on Youtube, Wikileaks and Google Play store.

As you know that YouTube is owned by Google. Yoiube IP is same as most of the Google's ip's.

PTA have blocked the IP so many Google services had stop.

to resolve this issue i must have to look into the internet to have some idea on how to bypass such filters. so i came to this SOLUTION for PAKISTAN ANDROID USERS.

Note: this Solution and app is only for rooted users. if you don't know to root then please refer to rooting first

Solution:

Tor is type of Proxy service called VPN(Virtual Private Network)

you can download the app from there website.

https://www.torproject.org

direct download: https://www.torproject.org/dist/android/0.2.3.10-alpha-orbot-1.0.7-FINAL.apk

i will guide you to make it happen :)

1.download and install the orbit.

2.Open Orbit.

3.tap next

4. hit request super user access

5.select all apps through tor and tap next.

6.tap Close.

7.now you will be directed to this screen. Now hit menu button and go to Settings

Menu>settings

8.scroll to the end and tick "use default iptables"

9.Now long press the button to turn it on.

at the point Orbit will configure all your settings automatically.

and a notification will appear in notification bar as "transparent proxying ENABLED" and "Connected to Tor Network"

10. now it's time to check your Configurations and VPN service

hit menu button in orbit app and tap "check"

You will see this window on your browser which is the proof that you are connected through Tor's VPN

that's All :victory:

hit thanks if i deserve it :P

useful, thanks.

even though i have no need for it right now, might come in handy in the future.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
Confirmed, working well over wifi/EDGE, thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umerkj:
Tusi hooo he great... GOOD JOB BRO :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
Let's stick to English, shall we? :)

There's another app that sort of acts like a proxy between you and the web: Onavo Extend. It creates a VPN - and all network communication gets rerouted through there.

But this is interesting as well... if this works on Wifi as well, then great! Onavo doesn't - it only works on data (and we know EDGE in Pakistan isn't exactly worthwhile for watching videos...)

Edit: turns out Orbot is available in the Market. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
Thanks for the heads up and yea EDGE is a nightmare especially when you have emails with substantial work related attachments you need to download lol Thank goodness wifi seems to be everywhere now - offices, cafe's, restaurants and whatnot

Hi message me about private VPN service. Ty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypoon:
First let me say that I have searched and searched but have not been able to find anybody talking about the issue my GSM Galaxy Nexus is having.

First thing's first: I'm running the developer preview of Jellybean still, I never got around to re-flashing it. I am not worried about losing any of the data on the phone, instead I'm much more concerned with simply getting the phone back in running order.

I was using the phone, the screen flashed and it rebooted. This was the beginning of my troubles. Ever since then, the phone boots up fine. Within a minute or so of reaching the lock screen, the screen flashes again and it proceeds to reboot. Here's where it gets weird. I've tried countless things, getting more and more serious as time went on. The last thing I've tried is simply fastboot flashing everything, but it doesn't take. I flashed the bootloader, boot, recovery, userdata, radio, system, (not in that order, of course) the whole nine yards, and everything appears to be successful, but it simply doesn't work. After flashing everything, I should not have unread emails on three accounts, an alarm set, the time still configured to 24-hour clock, my apps installed, my home screen organized, etc... I only get a short window each time the phone finishes booting, but it's long enough to tell that it didn't wipe anything. I've tried wiping from CWM and TWRP, but the same thing still happens.

And here's where it gets REALLY weird. I tried 'fastboot oem lock'. It says "Locked" until I reboot, at which point it is once again 'unlocked'.

Flashing my partitions, locking and unlocking, none of it has any effect.

Please, anybody have a clue?

I've been a long-time reader of the forums, but never registered until now for this. I wish I was registering for a happier reason. I'd send it back to Samsung, but I can't even re-lock my bootloader!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I verified the md5 of the stock (straight from google) rom I was trying to flash, it checked out. I tried the stock ICS rom as well, I couldn't flash it at first because flashing the bootloader and radio didn't stick (surprise surprise) so the "fastboot -w update" didn't recognize them and gave me an error. I flashed the images in the zip manually, but got the same overall effect, nothing sticks, but no errors are generated. Everything appears to work. Also, I tried fastbooting from a different laptop, but nothing happened any different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
It sound like it could be faulty nand memory :( . If fast boot doesn't work The next step would be trying to flash via odin & if that fails omap flash. Look for the odin & omap links at the bootom of efrant's Android for Galaxy Nexus Guide
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
agreed, seems likely that is a hw issue. still, it would be nice to try and get omapflash to work. i posted a few links in some other post let me see if i can find it and link it here.

edit: cant seem to find it right now. it was in a thread that the op just had the screen with the pc linking to the phone, not even fastboot (i think)

sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypoon:
Just got my hands on my brother's windows box so I could give these a shot. I'd never played with ODIN, but it looked simple enough. I gave it a tarball, it completed flashing successfully ("PASS!"). It all looked good, I got excited, and all for nothing. I was flashing an ICS tar (IMM76D) over a JB installation, and yet after reboot I still had a JB install. I don't know where the ICS went, if it went anywhere. Something weird is obviously going on. Is there a more low-level bootloader I can flash using the "BOOTLOADER" button in ODIN? I used the PDA button as per the tutorials, but, like I said, it didn't help. It flashed bootloader, boot, recovery, system, and radio. How about "PIT"? Is there a PIT tar I can flash? Or anything else, PHONE, CSC, I'll try just about anything.

Another thing I forgot to mention, when writing the system and userdata images in particular, it tends to take a long time. According to ODIN, it took 23:39 I guess (I'm not sure that's the elapsed time, but it sounds about right).

I guess it's on to the OMAP technique o.O, after a little more ODIN research.

bk201doesntexist: At second thought, it seems like something lower-level than ODIN and Fastboot is the problem, since I understand that ODIN works independently of Fastboot to do its job. I suppose that means that it's unlikely ODIN can do anything to help, and I should probably jump straight to OMAP. :(

EDIT: Just tried the OMAP flash deal, followed by the same ODIN flash I did before. Still no change in anything, really, except that on one of the screens I noticed that it identifies itself as a tuna, when I think it used to say maguro. At first I freaked, thinking that I had just made my phone think it's the VZW version, but then I remembered that's toro, not tuna.

Is anybody comfortable enough to use ODIN to pull a complete dump of everything from the phone, so that I might try flashing that on to see if I can get anywhere? Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know how I would flash that, after all. I don't understand enough about ODIN yet.

I thought it was supposed to be pretty hard to screw up a Galaxy Nexus this bad (assuming that this is my doing, and not a hardware fault). Any more ideas? I'm really not looking forward to calling Samsung with an unlocked bootloader.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
Guys is there any way to back up Extweaks profiles so i can apply it to other roms instead of going through it all over again on every rom i install?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Using a Root capable explorer,

- Goto /data/.Siyah,

# to backup your current Extweaks settings,

- copy every file with .profile extension to a folder on your SD.

# to restore your settings,

- paste your backup ( .profile files) into /data/.Siyah. Overwrite the files

- set the permission of the files to rwx-rwx-rwx (777, you can achieve this by checking all the boxes in the permission).

Done

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
Many thanks,

is there a way of switching between the profiles through EXTweak, I've paid for it to get the profile switching capability, does that only apply to the pre-defined profiles ie. Battery/Performance, or can I store my own settings as well to a profile?

regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Normally there is no way to save a custom profile. but If you modify an existing profile like say Default, then Extweaks will remember your settings if you switch back to default from another profile.

PS: If you are running Dorimanx kernel however, backing up/restoring settings are lot easier in Extweaks

I`ve seen a lot of MIUI versions in android development section....so my question is ...which version is more recommended? and please..without chinesse.
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
I found MIUI last year, and have never looked back.

I've flashed CM and AOKP a few times, to see how developement was going (everything seems to happen a few months later on the sensation), but no ROM appeals to me like MIUI does, so I allways flash back a couple of days later.

Official Miui for pyramid (sensation) is still on Ice cream sandwitch (ICS).

I recommend getting your ICS MIUI here: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/2-9-21.18200/

However, stickman89 is doing some amazing work with Jelly Bean MIUI for sensation over here:

Add me to the list ^^

stickman89 's is the best one here, but I'm trying the one from miuiandroid linked above & it's very nice as well.

The only thing that got me at first was not having an app drawer, but after I discovered the ability to create folders, I never looked back.

Two things about the different links above is stickman's doesn't have an FM radio, where the miuiandroid one does; also Chrome works in the miuiandroid version, but I can't speak for poweramp as I don't use it.
[HTC Sensation] Rurik1970:
I will say stickmans rom, it still has some small bugs, but it feels stable enough to use at a regular basis :)
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
Both chrome and poweramp should work in miuiandroid version. The official miui android is very stable.

There seems to have been trouble transitioning the sensation to aosp. The official miuiandroid.com ROM is therefore based on sense and that means that theming does not work, while stickmans is based on cm10 and is fully themeable.

Lots of color awesome animations and cool transitions.Still learning how to theme apps so more to come as I learn. I have been running it for about 3 weeks with no ill effects.

I think it's because the theme overwrites the stock ttf files - I could always add those into the BnB "reset" theme to change them back without reflashing the entire rom.
