There are Core player, both of the players are good; but for me this is the best, even it can play FLV files!!!!!! with some codecs that TCMP dont play..

Just install the cab, then go to Menu----Tools------Preferences------and File associations.......Mark all the files you want to asociate...and enojy your videos.

Mod Edit: Warez is not permitted on XDA attachment removed, first and final warning.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Hi, this is my first time posting on this site and I apologizes if this is in the wrong place. I just recently rooted my evo and was wondering when I want to apply a customization such as a new notification bar how do I know to use either flashing the file from the sd card or to run a command in adb? Is there an important difference, or can either be used? Thanks in advance for the help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Most files can be flashed, if they are in a .zip form, you should be okay. However for things like the bootscreens, the recommended method is to use ADB and push the bootanimation.zip file to the specified folder on the phone. However, this has been extremely simplified by user-made tools here on the EVO forums, not many people like using ADB (don't know why)... so there are tools to make it easier for people.

Usually the person that is distributing the file should say whether you need to flash or use ADB commands, just read the OP's post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Thanks so much for your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Sure, no problem!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
If I use the flashing method will the files be moved to the correct system folder or will it just deposit it in the ROM? When you use adb you specify the target, if I'm not mistaken. I just don't want my system to get cluttered with random files. Sorry if this isn't worded well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
When using ADB, the system won't get "cluttered"... mainly because when you're are using the adb push (copy) command, you will be overwriting the file that is currently residing on your phone.

For example, if I wanted to replace my bootanimation -- I would type:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

This would copy the new bootanimation.zip over to the directory being specified (/system/customize/resource -- where the bootanimation resides), upon copying, it explicitly overwrites any file/folder with the name "bootanimation" -- unless you set a parameter when typing the command to ask you if it should overwrite. You don't need to worry about this though, almost always you'll overwrite the files.

As long as you push (copy) any and all files to its correct directory, nothing should ever get cluttered and if it does, then you can always remove it just as easily.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm new to this and any time I see command line I get hesitant. Thanks again for the thorough answer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Yup, no problem. I try to usually give a detailed answer, as I'm sure not everyone will understand vague answers.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Since you seem to be knowledgeable what is the difference between flashing a rom by its name.zip as opposed to renaming it update.zip? Does the former start new and the latter maintain all apps/settings?

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
No difference.

The naming conventions don't mean anything really. There used to be a time when all packages had to be called "update.zip", but the Devs that built the recoveries made it so you could name the .zip files whatever you wanted.

You'll see ROM's/theme's/etc with fancy names -- that's just so its easier for the end user to identify what he/she is actually going to flash.

When I say "update.zip", I just mean that the file can be flashed via recovery and won't require command line/terminal/ADB.

However, there are certain files that will always have a static name (bootanimation.zip) -- that can't change because the phone is programmed to look for that specified file. So whenever someone uploads a bootanimation and calls it: "Nexus-bootanimation.zip" --- this should be renamed to bootanimation before adb pushing or flashing to its specified directory.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Now I understand the idea behind flashing a radio, however I don't understand flashing a kernel. How do I know when to do this and do the risks of radio apply to the kernel? Also, are there any other major components that I'll eventually have to flash? Thanks for answering my many questions.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
There are risks with both.

Flashing a kernel or radio has the potential to brick your phone. The radio is used for controlling all the "wireless" functions (3G, 4G, x1 connections (texting/calling)) -- pretty much anytime the phone connects to the Sprint towers, the radio is playing its part. So if you flash it incorrectly; the consequences are obvious.

The kernel is the heart of the Android. The kernel itself is actually Linux. Android is built upon Linux, so pretty much Google took the already existing Linux kernel and built Android on top of it (the UI, the apps, etc) and made Android into a Mobile OS, which can run on virtually any platform or device.

How do you know? You don't -- it's a matter of wanting to be curious enough to test. Some devs will put out kernels that overclock your device, others will add different features (screen fixes, loopback interface, underclocking, etc). The kernel controls all the hardware on the phone and how everything functions -- so when devs mess with source code, they are essentially making the hardware function differently for your device.

Some of the major components? -- The biggest ones so far are the wireless driver and 4G driver. When the EVO came out -- the battery life wasn't great; but after the new update (1.47 and the accompanying radio's); battery life on the device have improved significantly and people have experience better WiFi reception and such.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
That does help. This is my first time with android and my first time attempting to actually mess with it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
There will be a lot more "firsts", believe me. Some things will be harder than others; but if you stick with it and actually take the time to learn, you'll realize that working Android can be a helluva lot of fun and unbelievably addictive!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
The bug has already bit me. I appreciate the help. It's nice to know there is a community to get good answers from when needed.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Instead of posting a new thread perhaps you can help me on this. When I attempt to use adb to remove a bundled app.

adb shell

cd /system/app

ls

rm app.apk

I get Disk space read only. I have full root and NAND I assume. I used the OTA method and am able to flash custom ROMs. I am using the rooted stock 1.47.651.1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
When a "read-only" message is returned, it usually means that you don't have RW (read-write access), to circumvent this, run this command:

adb remount -- Should always be run if you plan on changing something that requires RW access
Then:
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
rm app.apk

If for some reason you get a error message with adb remount (most likely due to permissions), then you'll need to use the full "remount" command, for that, run:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
I tried your method, but I get another error. It looks like:

mac-mini:~ rafroehlich2$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

mac-mini:~ rafroehlich2$ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mount: exec /usr/sbin/mount_yaffs2 for /System: No such file or directory

Is there a preventable reason

adb remount

fails? Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
I figured you might have trouble with the ADB remount -- again, this is usually due to permissions. For testing purposes, try booting into recovery and then issuing the adb remount command.

In regards to the full remount command -- I'm wondering if you have busybox (it contains all the Linux command line tools) so that you can run the above commands.

Can you issue and then paste the output back here?:

cat /proc/mounts

Also, run this:

adb shell
cd /system/xbin
ls

If you can see a huge list of files -- then that means you do in fact have Busybox installed.

Also, what ROM are you running?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
After

cat /proc/mounts

rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0

mac-mini:~ rafroehlich2$ adb shell
$ cd /system/xbin
$ ls
wireless_modem
dnsmasq
su

I download the BusyBox app to keep it up to date and also installed it through the "problems" section on titanium backup. However, that's all I got.

The ROM I am using is the fully rooted stock RUU. I'd post a link, but am not sure if I'm allowed to yet. It is the one posted by whitslack.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Okay, so /system is in fact on /mtdblock4 -- just wanted to verify that.

However, in your /xbin -- you don't see to have all the command line tools that come with Busy box. If you know that you downloaded Busy box and it's up to date, then go ahead and run the "full mount" command again like earlier. It should work if you have Busy Box installed.

Also, have you tried booting into recovery and testing adb remount or the full mount command?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Alright so I managed to get all the BusyBox files by downloading it from the internet and installing. I now have a long list in the /system/xbin.

I tried mounting in recovery with no luck. Either commands would return a failure. However, off and on I have been able to use adb remount in android successfully, but not consistently. Also, I have used a terminal emulator to run

su remount
cd /system/app
rm App.apk

Some times it works, while others I get the Disk is Read Only.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
So, does that mean you're trying to do this on your phone? If so, have you tried doing this via your computer through command prompt?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Yes, it is done through one of the terminal apps. I have tried this method on the computer, but like all the other ways. It'll work this time, not next time. Could this be related to the ROM I am using or is the NAND permissions separate at this point?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Might be both? Have you tested a different ROM? I would Nandroid, flash a different ROM and see if it still persists? Otherwise, you might want to rerun Toast's Part 2 Rooting hack.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rafroehlich2:
Ok so I flashed DamageControl 3.1.2 and everything seems to have been cleared up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
It's funny how that works. Glad to hear everything is fixed.[COLOR]

Pull the framework.jar file from the new fresh rom and make it into a signed zip. I'd do it but I'm at work. This is for 270 degree rotation. Darchdroid does 360 and is probably in the framework.jar file as well. Just don't know if that can be used in most roms. Only one way to find out. Some one make the zips and try them.

Hy.

I installed Birdiesync on my Tre0 750, then it has expired, and i uninstalled it. Since then, i'm getting a message, everytime i'm connecting to the internet or to my calc. that "Cannot execute \program files\Birdiesync\Birdiesync.exe."

My new SGS just got delivered today, bought it brand new from ebay, it is unlocked but from orange so there are a few orange bloatware apps like maps etc, not happy with these and want them gone but after trying kies it says my firmware cannot be updated (maybe due to being branded)?

Anyway just wondering which of the unofficial firmwares to flash from the samsung-firmwares website, I understand they come with certain files that may put phone into russian or make it so market does not work properly, some advice on this matter would be appreciated, I'm in UK if that helps.

Hi Davey,

I've just done mine for the first time tonight. I used firmware JG1, but used the CSC file suggested on the main thread firmware thread (cant do a link, forum wont let me).

A couple of notes - I originally tried using a front USB port on my machine and it stuck on file analysis. Worked better when I plugged it in round the back. Secondly, mine showed up on COM5 not 7 as in the guides but it seemed to make no difference.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daley87:
Cheers pal, jsut wondering have you had any issues with the firmware you used? Russian language? Paid apps not showing up in market? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
No russian as long as you use the separate CSC firmware (CSC_I9000OXXJF9), and no other issues other than swype crashing the first time I tried to use (restarted the phone, problem solved).

Some apps arent showing up though in market, and I think a root is needed to fix it unfortunately. Not a big deal though - if you're willing to attempt the firmware, than I doubt rooting is a particularly big deal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzFE8-jWku0

The above is to update the firmware, the only thing I did that was not on the video was to use a different CSC file (Not the Russian one, I used CSC_I9000OXXJF9), doing it this way, I had no problems with using Swype as some have reported.

I then applied Paul's Custom ROM R2 from Modaco (Great Job) - the update roots the phone so you do not have to. It is all worth it as now my GPS, Wifi and speed all work wonderfully. the video of how to update the Custom Rom is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uakGtQKmHNM

Remember to restart the phone after updating the firmware and also after updating the Custom ROM. Also make sure that you have installed the latest version of Samsung's KIES software which contains the drivers needed for the SGS. Also if you carry out this part, make sure you copy the update.zip file to the internal memory card for update to work as it fails to read from the external one.

I did all this on a Notebook running Vista 32bit without any problems.
