[Q] youtube Downloaders disappearing off market?

Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol

I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.

Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.

Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".

ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title

First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.

hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.

JetVD is about the best I've seen.

Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

[Q] IMSDroid

Im very new to the android world and want to talk to my friends on iphone video chat but cant with qik. A good friend told me to use IMSDroid but i do not understand how to use it i searched all through this website and could not find anything. Anyone know how to set it up or do i need to look elsewhere?

They're gonna boot this out of dev but just use Fring.

This goes in the Q&A section, man. But personally, use either Fring or Tango. Tango it less invasive and more intuitive.

Look for tango on the app store

ISMDROID
here is the link to setup IMSDROID, but first you have to open an account on any SIP Server.
Then, look on google.com and search for imsdroid quick star
Sorry, I cant post a link.
Hope that this would help you. Let me know.

Here is link to IMSDroid Site for more info and link to actual apk files Last update was 21hrs ago. Enjoy.

Useful app... offline voicecommands

Hi,
I think there is a very useful app needed in all smartphone...and specially in the fantastic galaxy s2: the offline voicecommands.
People, like me, that have not the possibility to get always connected to the net, need the offline voicecommands like the mororola smartphones. We just need a porting of that app as the vivaldi 4season team did, but working for all the roms and in particular that app have to work...
Who is the dev that can do this for the "disconnected" community? He will help the people that need to call someone whilst is driving a car... No accidents trying to do a call whilst driving car, no money spent in a special contract to be always connected.
We need a hero!

Dont we have that already with the Built in Samsung Voice actions powered by Vlingo which also has a drive/car mode

Vlimgo requires Internet and to be honest is not greatest when dialing contacts especially if they are not typical English names.
Just do what I do as soon as I install rom, delete vlingo and put original android voicedialer.apk in system (note: not voice search) app from nexus s gingerbread or cyanogen rom. Works offline and much better for contacts recognition. Responds fine to bluetooth dial as well.

Could you post that apk please?

Here you go!
Remember put this in system/app folder with root explorer (do not install as regular apk) and remember to delete vlingo voice to go apk from there cause it will clash on bluetooth dial.

Istituto tris app multilanguage?
Is this only for dialing or sms too?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk

It's name is voice dialer! Ask me again if this is for dictating sms!
Or are you asking if you can start text message with this?
There's voice actions for that or vlingo or whatever but they all need to be connected to the net.
With this you can basically start any app installed on the phone with command open * (open MESSAGING or open OPERA MOBILE) or dial contacts on the PHONE or command redial.
You can not say 'send text to "contact name"'. If you want deeper than that then use online ones I mentioned.
Iono if it's multilanguage? I why don't you try it then tell us? What I do know is that I have plenty non English contacts and it dials them correctly even though it repeats them weird with English phonetics. It is able to learn as well so if it's confused between 2 contacts, manually selecting correct one, will not prompt again with same pronunciation. I have had few names that I had to gradually train like that going from English phonetics to native tongue pronunciation and now it's perfect.
I save data with titanium so don't have to train it again between flashing.

Calm down. If you insist, so i ask you again: is it for dictating sms?
A forum need people able to talk gently with others and if they can and want, to answer to the question, and not to be arrogant.
If you are nervous go to sleep.

So Dumb
So Dumb to not understand plain English.

Lol! Yeah all we need in forum are lazy people that post request in wrong section and won't do **** for themselves even when the help and explanation is being offered several times, but are easy to offend!
This was a waste of fingers. I'm off to sleep as you suggested and you wait for another soft spoken fellow or a gall.
But I'll throw you another bone. None of the solutions to date offer offline dictation on any smartphone platform and you ponder...

Stupid as usual. Nothing better to expect from you and useless people thinking like you. Enjoy you and your friends with the bones by yourself.
Poor you...find a girl and be less nervous, and maybe a mother so serious you will be polite.

Lolz! And this is how needy but polite people become not so polite but still lazy.
Point being: instead of finding ways of being offended maybe you should have read more carefully and see I and others had tried to help you throughout this topic. You have 4 posts and look what they are.
Anyways ill stop now and leave your thread alone.

Different Versions of Google Now?

I have been trying to track down some issues i have been having with Google Now on Jelly Bean, and I have realized there are a few different versions of teh google search apk, (sometimes labled velvet.apk) in the wild.
2.0.0.398337 2.0.0.392829 and v2.0.0.402395 all exist at a minumum.
With the latest AOKP AUG25 build containing the lowest of the three at 2.0.0.392829 i am curious what other versions there are.
A few tests can be done that will hopefully help me to narrow down the issues at hand. Under Settings>Privacy and Accounts, there should be an option that allows you to use google.com for search instead of local domain, but this option does not exist on my build. I think that this may be why my gNow does not work as well as some other individuals.
For instance,
When I ask google "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" a voice response returns "Kobe Bryant is 6 foot 6 inches tall" ...
When I ask google "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" it simple shows the results in google, with no card, but if i ask "What is the height of the Eiffel Tower? the voice response is given. It has been verified by others using the higher versions of google search that asking "how tall is" works just fine on their end.
Additionally, (and this may be across the board for all instances of GNOW) when i try to use the offline feature the only ability gnow has is to make a phone call. One would assume that being able to create alarms, and send text would still be available.
If anyone can help shed some light onto this issue please comment below. Also i have linked to the gnexus guide for google now for function reference.
http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2665843&topic=2590357&ctx=topic
As well as the configuration page for google now on xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740542
It may just be that we need to pull the google search apk from the nexus and load it onto our phone (running a JB based rom of course)

I would like to further expand on this. I used to say 44th president or 43 president etc, and it would say george Bush, Barak, etc... But now it only shows the text answer. Did google change something or what?

If i ask "41st president" i get a text response. IF i ask "Who was the 41st president" I get a spoke answer. This remains true until the 16th president. From that point and lower all answers are text based.
Something foul is definitely afoot here.

I noticed the same thing. Asking what's the weather on the Nexus gives weather then says "here's the forecast for the week" unlike on our GS2

this truly may be in the wrong thread, but i put it here because i thought it was an issue with our rom...I wonder if i can report my own thead.

Can we just pull the apk from a nexus 7? Lol

Even though you think its a rom issue I believe this thread is better served and supported in Q&A as previously advised I think you need to ask a mod to move for you. I assume you want answers and not flamers and leaving it here will get more of the matter "

DEVELOPERS ONLY- developer weekend conference.

THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SKILLS AT ANDROID DEVELOPMENT, OR ARENT CURRENTLY PLANNING ON OR CURRENTLY MAKING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR DEVICE DO NOT REPLY. THIS IF FOR DEVELOPERS ORGANIZATION ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS OF DEVELOPING THOUGH, OR WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP US, DO NOT POST HERE, ASK ANY DEVELOPER THROUGH PM.​
Well, I had to get that out of the way.
Me and Adriel were talking for a while today, and were thinking of having a developer conference for all developers of our device on the weekends. He has a business gotomeeting account we can use to audio chat, and share our computer screens live (and not use actual cameras for privacy reasons). We can have up to 25 people at a time. What we want to do is to get as many developers as we can on so we can talk about all our current projects, ways we tried to get stuff working, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to use it so that people (like myself) who are newer to development can ask the more experienced devs questions to get themselves better, and we can all maybe be on the same skill level eventually, and in general get more stuff for our devices going. Me and adriel are both able to do this on Sunday (me in the afternoon, Adriel TBA), and we wanted to see who else can join us. I want to be able to get this as a monthly thing if possibly on the weekends, and maybe weekly per availability on a smaller scale. Also if we can get it working, I want to find a free version to do the same thing, and allow anyone with development experience to host a group to allow general users to ask questions, and try to learn development themselves. I believe besides just normal test/audio chat being able to see each other's computer screens (hide anything personal first) would allow us to use much easier visual learning, and help the community as a whole. Tell me what you all think.

You can count me in.. I'm pretty new to development though... I'm just starting to get my feet wet... My only dev work (sorta)... Is the porting of the Lewas Rom to my beloved EVO 4G .... But I'm definitely interested in developing for this device (well at least learn something)...

Another original Evo user! awesome! Well instead of using gotomeeting we might just use google+ hangout- much easier, and dont need adriel to be on each time. I suggest taking your username and creating a google account with it for the hangout. for example mine is [email protected]. I will be on all weekend on google+ now.

Count me in!

I may or may not be available but most devs know how to contact me.

well the only issue I see here is gotomeeting doesn't support linux, so that eliminates me.
Whats wrong with everyone just hoping on an irc channel?

Shelnutt2, i was gonna suggest this type of thing. i noticed the current irc room is just noobs and what not who need help fixing/lgnpst'ing their phones. why not make two rooms #lgog-help and a dev room for you guys and testers.
that way, the dev talk isn't washed out with people needing help fixing their phones and dumb questions about eta

We decided to use Google+ instead. Much easier since its browser based, but only ten people. If someone wants to get $3 we can get up to 250 on oovoo.
Also IRC is good, but it doesn't allow us to see the persons screen, so no visual help. I can then see exactly what you click on, and just talk and not worry about talking while working. And if someone's getting help they can just listen to suggestions, and not have to look at a chat screen if they don't have multiple monitors. Also for chat for developers I was thinking of maybe using something besides freenode. Its not very mobile friendly, and I personally don't like it. Gtalk is the best for one on one it seems like, but we something like palringo- download the app on any OS for any smartphone/computer/tablet. Chats as big as we want for free, and it supports pictures and short audio clips. Also private messaging, bots, and such. And you just right click some bodies name to mod, admin, ban, or silence them. And permanent ban is possible. Then we can keep anyone not wanted out, but still let normal users that don't bug the channel float around and watch our chats. If anybody has another alternative to palringo, please tell me. I want us all to be as connected as possibly, and in all formats without it being a hassle. I want us accessible to each other, and even to normal flashaholics through chat, screen cast, and audio. Always accessible in case someone has an issue with a ROM or mod. Makes development easier.

On android, just open a chat, then menu, add friends and you can pick who to invite... Probably something similar on other clients.

I'll edit this as needed; however, I would like to get this seriously off it's feet. These are the following courses that I would be the best to learn for now. And have different developers teaching the course work once a week.
If we start tomorrow, we'll literally start extremely easy; however, it'll get harder. I think it'll be best if dedicated an hour and a half to all lessons (More for more difficult subjects) and developers teaching should have an agenda in mind. Here's a weekly schedule that sounds like it'll be beneficial.
Week 1: Copy & Paste Rom
Folder and File Structure (10 minutes)
Top Level Modifications (20 Minutes)
Updater Script (Commands and Permissions) (20 Minutes)
Implementing Aroma Scripts and Modified Updater Script (40 Minutes)
Week 2: De-compiling and Theming
Week 3: Setting up Linux Development Environment
Week 4: Developing a ROM from Source
Week 5: Developing a Kernel from Source
If you're a developer and want to teach any one of these, please reach out to me.
Some responsibilities for teaching include recording your screen as you present. This is specifically to be able to upload the video to youtube afterwards so that anyone can watch if they miss the session. The only disadvantage for users that watch the video is the inability to ask questions during the tutorial.
I'll also make accommodations for the developer depending on what they need. I'll help find solutions for video capturing software, which shouldn't be difficult.
Hopefully we can get this off the ground so that people are more knowledge about ROM development. Most of these tutorials can already be found online; however, it's always difficult to get started.
Thanks,
Adriel

If anybody wants, I am on right now. I can do the week 1 tutorial for new people, or talk about current projects with other devs.
I am on google+ under evo dev. my gtalk and email to find me is [email protected]. If you cant find me on google+ shoot me an email, and ill send you invite to a hangout. just put your hand over your camera so you can switch it off, then turn on screen cast. You can also use a normal chat if you dont have a headset or built in mic.
