[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35rider:
Hi, I am extremely new to the Android scene, been using an Iphone and got the Captivate when it came out.

Now I am in india and trying to unlock the phone for use on Vodafone.

** I successfully installed the 2.2 update.

** Tried to install the root update.zip but in recovery mode couldnt select the right option so needed to redo the 2.2 update.

** Searched and found that the 2.2 is for regular galaxy S with hard buttons and we need to update the kernel with some of the fixes for captivate which I found on this forum. The v1.3 file with Voodoo and bln and lagfix is one without odin file, so again searched and found that I can install that file using Rom Manager.

** Downloaded the Rom Manager and updated it to the latest version app and tried to Install ROM from SD Card, I selected this zip file i got from one of the threads on this site for v1.3 fixes. But the problem is that the app doesnt do anything it is suppose. I read it should reboot and install this rom but it just took me back to the list of files to select rom and didnt do anything.

What am I doing wrong.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I spent the last 5 hrs trying to figure this out :(

Thanks a ton in advance.

Just rooting is not going to unlock the phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831569&highlight=2.2+unlock

Best bet in my opinion is to go back to stock 2.1 and unlock that

Use this

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35rider:
Quite possibly :)

I thought I will upgrade the phone first, apply the fixes for the kernel and once I have rooted the phone, I could unlock it.

Is that process flow not possible. Do I have to unlock first, then update and then root.

The problem still remains, when I successfully upgraded to the official 2.2 version(again found it from a search: http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/)

I cant goto restore menu and select anything. So after searching for a solution I found that all I need to do is put in a new kernel using ROM Manager and which is what I tried.

But ROM Manager didnt do what it said it would.

I will have to double check since the phone is not with me right now to see what version I am running, but I have upgraded from the link I provided above.

I understand rooting and unlock are 2 different things, just like how jailbreak and unlock on the iphone were, but I thought I could follow: Upgrade to 2.2->Update Kernel->Unlock procedure.

I can try that as well, so you are saying once I unlock on 2.1 and root it, upgrade to 2.2 would automatically make the phone unlocked and rooted? or would I have to repeat any of the 2 steps again.

Thanks for your patience.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Once on stock you will be able to save the fikes that hold the unlock code.

If you go back to 2.2 you will have to paste those fikes back where they belong.

How do you get playlists to sync with your tablet? I tried using mediamonkey and double twist. When I do this the music copies over, but the playlists dont show up using the stock samsung player. Other music apps recognize them just fine. There is a folder in the music directory called "playlists" that contains the .m3u playlist files.

Is there another format that the samsung app requrires?

What programs do you guys use to sync your music with the tab?

Why is the dialer in WP7 showing letters while it is not using them like on HTC sense. Normally you type some numbers like 0617 and you get all the contacts with those number in their phone number so you are able to select the correct one. Or you can use 2(abc) and you get all the contacts whose name starts with a A B or C.

See pictures

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbk21:
In the Netherlands we don't use 1-800-flowers. Landline phones in the Netherlands have letters because you can also sms with landline phones and add contacts.

But the dialer is useless unless you know someone's number completely.

I hope MS will add this to their list for updates because I don't want to go the people hub every time and search the contact I want to call.

The messaging app has smart dialing/messaging so why not the dialer app.

[Nook Color General] aludal:
I was fighting tons of bad video rendering and have discovered that so called "HQ Youtube" app for EVO works just fine for Droid. Tried it on my NC, works like a charm (preA2.2, pre Flash 10.1, of course). I can watch HD YouTube trailers just fine, smooth, and fluid now. This is the power of hardware overlay switched ON. I'm sure, a simple hack of Flash Player 10.1 spoofing an Android 2.2 response for it will work just fine too.

Looking for the best streaming TV (IP TV) player as all these yxPlayers are pure junk, both free and paid versions.

See snaps and links in my blog http://fineoils.blogspot.com
[Nook Color General] vap0rxt:
I too am using the Evo HQ Youtube apk. I know there was a work around to fix Youtube from failing but I uninstalled it so had to search for an apk and found the one for 2.1 evo. Works like a charm.

I didn't read all of your blog, kinda skimmed it over, but I'm using "Button Savior" instead of "Soft Keys", It works much better.

And goto landscape mode when setting your wallpapers. :)
[Nook Color General] aludal:
There's no such requirement to read my whole blog if one chooses to use just one trick (and not to use DD-WRT router with NC, lol).

Yeah, the development goes fast and in all those diverse direction, so it took me awhile: it's easy to overlook some achievements for HTC EVO when one looks closely in Droid Forums, heh. But I have found it eventually. I guess the Auto-Nooter script should be upgraded (plus Button Savior, minus SoftKeys.)

I used to go nuts (and not "landscape") when choosing my wallpaper: there's way too many resource hogs in NC at this stage. All B&N stuff must go (maybe LendMe, and whatever in-shop app could be added -- later). Didn't do much on this path yet -- before a stable recovery. So I ended up with simplest, unmoving snap of my painting, plus MIUI's clock+weather.

[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
OK, I installed the older EVO "HQ version", and it worked the first time I ran it. But now, it seems that my nook keeps reverting back to the (albeit newer) version included with autonooter (Youtube v2.0.26, or something). This appears to be the same "ginerbread ported" version that Darkman mentioned and linked to, but nothing I do now will allow me to revert back to the "HQ version" that aludal pointed us to...

Why does mine keep reverting back to the newer version every time I reboot, even after I "wipe data" and "uninstall" it with Titanium? Any ideas?

ok, this is frustrating... no matter what I do, the system keeps reverting back to the newer autonooted version of Youtube after a reboot!

The HQ version worked once, but when I rebooted, it somehow went back to the nooted version.

I'm using titanium to wipe and uninstall youtube, then using adb to sideload the HQ version... anyone have any idea what step I'm missing?
[Nook Color General] vap0rxt:
I uninstalled the nooter version from the home screen shortcut I made by long pressing. Installed the HQ version through "Appsinstaller" in the market. I put the APK in the Root Directory of the SD card when doing so. Been 2 days and no issues.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
I tried to uninstall that way, but it says "Uninstall not successful"

I'm really stumped... I had it working, but now the autonooter version comes back every single time I reboot the device. The strange thing is that I can't find a Youtube.apk anywhere using Root Explorer. It's not in the /system/app directory, so I have no idea where the system keeps finding it after I uninstall it again and again with Titanium... :confused:
[Nook Color General] vap0rxt:
By chance do you still have the Nooter SD card still in?

[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
My video qaulity is great. Maybe has to do with unchecked compatibility in spare parts. I had to uncheck it, it works perfect for me. Use root explorer and delete the old apk from system/apps then move the new one to system/apps then install. Worked for me.

Updated my FineOils post

There's no link to HQ YouTube.apk there, as you have it already.

But there are some explanations, and not just that. I'm asking a lot of questions and waiting for your comments here or there. Together, piece by piece, we may make NC a better tablet even at its present A2.1 level. I'm also sure that many "discoveries" of NC inner workings will be useful for the day when ROMs of A2.2...2.3, Cyanogens will be available and stable for NC.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
I formatted the SD and have been using it for storage, so that can't be it. :(

I also cannot find a YouTube.apk anywhere on the device, so I'm not sure how/where/why it keeps reverting to a WORKING auto-nooted version of the Youtube app every time I reboot. It's very odd...

Also, if I try to install the HQ apk, using the same method I did the first time (when it actually worked for a minute), it now fails to install that apk with a "did not install" message. The .apk file no longer shows up with an icon in the /system/app directory, so I may have corrupted the file somehow. Again, very very odd... I plan to start from scratch tonight with a fresh download of the HQ apk. Wish me luck!

Anyone have any more ideas? My biggest question is how the thing reverts to a working Youtube app when there's no apk for it at all in the /system/app directory. How the hell is it doing that!? :confused:

[Nook Color General] bdcrim:

I could not find the youtube APK file either. Here is what I did. I uninstalled YouTube through titanium backup. I installed the HD apk by using root explorer, not placing it in the system/app folder. I could not do it the other way. After two reboots it is still working. The HD apk is in the system/app folder. Not sure if the stock app is still around.
[Nook Color General] doctorded:
Yes I'm getting the same, and unable to exit the video when done?:confused:
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Exactly. Makes two of us, DD-WRT Nookers, lol.

Seriously though, the present original WiFi part of the NC code is one thing that I would recommend our devs to retain intact in future A2.2...A2.4 or even A3.0 ROMs.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
For what it's worth, I got mine working again with the HQ version... I had to jump through all kinds of file transfer hoops, but it works again, so I'm stoked!

Thank you to those of you who tried to help, I appreciate it! :)
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
New problem:

After installing the "HQ YouTube" version, yotube videos no longer launch from within the Dolphin HD browser. EVERY time I click on ANY youtube link in the browser, it comes back saying the page cannot be found.

Do you guys think this may have something to do with this particular version of YouTube, or does the problem lie with the Dolphin HD browser itself?
[Nook Color General] aludal:
YouTube of any version is essentially a Google devs product, crippled by carriers -- more or less. In the case what I have found -- the EVO "HQ" version -- it was most probably a pristine Google code carriers didn't ruin. So, it retains its compatibility to a default (Google's mobile Chrome) browser and to any closely compatible one. I'd recommennd xScope of 6.37+ version, out of these. I am not moved by the this board's strange fascination with Dolphin/HD, xScope is just plain faster by benchmarks if you will.

Naturally, there are no such problems with stock or xScope browser. Sure, it all will go away with the advent of A2.2 and full Flash 10.1+, but as it stands now, the EVO variant is the best (similar code is possibly called "Gingerbread" YouTube.apk, but I'm not sure)
[Nook Color General] puppster1:
sorry to revive an old thread... but my YouTube doesn't seem to be working and doesn't seem to exist in my Nook Color for some reason. I uninstalled it through NookColor when it kept failing and am trying to push the signed_YouTube.apk version right now but it's returning an error

"failed to copy 'signed_YouTube.apk to '/system/app/signed_YouTube.apk': Read-only file system

edit:

Apparently I just typed something wrong...

but it shows successful when I install, but it doesn't show up in my applications under Manage applications under NookColor Tools... anyone have any ideas?

Looks like it keeps reverting back to whatever the effin version of YouTube i had when I rooted it...and it just fails over and over (i installed that from NookColor Tools originally). I click and it'll just show a black screen and fail and return to home screen.

edit2: this somehow worked... haven't rebooted again after getting it to work though so don't know if it'll stay..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9921646&postcount=321 but everyone else is saying that this will keep it from breaking itself again.

edit3: damnit.. rebooted and it doesn't work again... it doesn't show up in my nook color under manage applications... does that mean it just hiding somewhere in the system but not in the apps folder?

Sure the theme of installation of "HQ" YouTube.apk capable of playing

any

HD 1080p clip/movie in YouTube library deserves an entry into our NookColor wiki, don't you think? A cleaner instructions writeup?

It's just not me -- an OP -- who needs to apply. Anyone else who thinks my find deserves the entry can do this, so we'd have a refined and stable procedure for such installation.

As for your particular problems, I'd start the installation procedure with cleaning your NC of "regular" YouTube.apk. I myself have started it that way, plus added more precautions: in case that "Flash Lite" might intervene, I uninstalled it too and deleted 3 more .so libs associated with it. (The lib files were returned in their place after "HQ" YouTube succesful installation, but who knows for sure)
[Nook Color General] fucon:
Very similar situation for me.

When I push the "Signed_Youtube.apk", it does show up under apps.

But If I did the same thing with the HQ "Youtube.apk", I could not find it under app manager,althoug it is indeed under /system/apps when I checked by Root Explorer.

Any ideas? I really would like to use the HQ youtube.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
If you set her up as a contact in the contacts app, and put in the phone's phone number as her number, I think it will just recognize whatever picture you assign to that contact for the messaging and all similar.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knytphal:
Another option, though it doesn't use the stock messaging app, would be to using something like Handcent SMS which has an option for uploading your own image to use in messages.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The advantage of the setting-yourself-up-as-a-contact approach is that most apps, certainly the Google apps (Google Voice, GTalk, etc) and the Messaging app all look for that and will use it if it's there. You don't have to pic and choose a pic for every app individually.
