My first post on xda.
Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube (444K sized file will do just fine)
Copy the file and paste shortcut in Start Menu> Programs
The next step is very important.
Goto:Settings >Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab: Select Network button: Change bottom drop down to Media Net. Both drop downs should be Media Net.
Thats it.

Hi,
I did as you stated but my YouTube program does not launch from within the start menu, it just stays highlighted when I click on it.
I did a soft reset and nothing changed.
It works if I go to Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube 444K and click on the file.
Any one else had this problem and know how to fix it ?
Thanks
It works for me, but it take forever to connect and sometimes just end up ERROR can not play. I spend more time watching the 'connecting' on the screen than the video I want to watch.
The only YouTube file that works for my Tilt2 was downloaded from google mobile- by using the MS IE, not Opera. The only issue (minor) i get is when i select a video file- it will go into landscape opposite the native landscape of the Tilt2. not a biggie. However, it works fine when using ''changescreen" app (enabled).

i am having the same issue. it highlights but doesnt activate the program.
if you go to the exe file in fileexplorer and then press and hold the exe file, a screen will popup with the options to "send shortcut to programs" hope this helps
I feel pretty silly...
I was able to find the YouTube files on my phone. I copied them over to "Program Files" (which, as I've read here, isn't the way to go about it) So I deleted the files I copied over to there. Problem is, it deleted both the "copies" and the original files :/
How can I retrieve the Tilt 2's version of the YouTube application without completely wiping out my phone?
Thanks for any and all help.
no sound on youtube app
I was able to copy the shortcut over and when I double click on it the client works but there is no sound. What gives?

You don't paste it to the menu directly, you have to paste it in /Windows/start menu/programs directory on your phone
Youtube app in start menu
i had the same problem puttin the Youtube app that comes with the Tilt 2 on the start menu and actually getting it to work, but after a whole day of messin with the settings, i finally got it on the start menu, and workin!
first what i did was
opened the file explorer<windows
from here you will sort by name so it appears from a to z(only if u need to because mine showed from z to a)
then you will scroll down to the Youtube folder, click and hold down to copy.
after you copy it you will paste it under the program files (my device<program files)
after that you will need to copy the actuall app and add it to the start menu.
the app will be found under the my device<windows: scroll very closely to the bottom of the list to find the app, click on the one that says 25b. click and hold on it then copy it and paste it under the start menu folder at the top of the windows<programs.
now when you click your start menu there should be the youtube app and should work. i have only tested it under my wifi settings at the house but it should work on 3g.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
and if you want to rearrange the start menu, i recommened downloading the JWMD-Icon-Changer at:
pocketpc-freeware.net/jwmd-icon-changer-get-12511.html
i downloaded it fomr my pc and sync my phone to my pc after saving the app and draggin and droppin it into my phones file explorer and then installed it from there.
we already had it on the stock rom? I downloaded it from google mobile with google maps :X...anyways, no probs with the way I did it...idk
thanx vic1307, your method worked perfectly!

Any reason we don't cut and Paste, instead of copying...doubling the file?
You can't "paste" into the start menu folder....you can't paste into any folder that is already full, because there is no empty space that you can place your cursor on and hold to get menu to pop up.
If you try it ends up clicking on an item in the folder, because there are no empty spots to click on in the folder..
This is one thing that really annoys me with wm6.5....thank the idiot that designed this feature.
ok, I just cut everything out of the start up menu file, and pasted the youtube file into the blank folder, then pasted everything else back into the start up menu.
annoying, but affective. Deleted Google's youtube. Like the stock look one much better. ;D
Post #8!!! That is your answer!!!! Do NOT COPY the exe file to the start menu!! Either copy the YouTube.lnk file to the start menu, or send the exe file to the start menu as a short cut. Also, if you are using the native file explorer, then you may not see the .lnk or .exe file extensions to know the difference.
You should see the files in this order:
*at$t rom*
YouTube.exe (with YT icon) 458k
YouTube.exe.0409 (windows icon) 10.9k
YouTube.lnk (YT icon) 25b <-- file size should be another clue it is just a short cut.
You want a copy of the .lnk file in the start menu.
There are two YouTube apps, one is an HTC app that is hidden on the phone, the other is Google's and it has to be downloaded. I like the HTC app better myself btw.
Hey all,
Just thought I'd chuck this quick guide together for those of you who think the new messaging application on the SGS II is a bit naff, and you''d prefer the one from Cyanogen Mod 7.
Firstly, you'll need the file I've attached to the bottom of this post called Mms.apk.
This guide is for beginners who don''t know ADB, so for this we''ll be using root explorer. For this. You will require root and to have purchased Root explorer from the market (It's only a few quid and very handy!)
So, here we go.
Backing up original Mms.apk
1. Copy the file you downloaded here (Mms.apk) to the root of your SD card.
2. Unmount your SDCard from your PC.
3. Open up root explorer. At the top, hit the option where it says ""Mount R/W". If you've done this, it should change to saying "Mount R/O""
4. Go into the following folders. System --> Apps
5. Scroll down until you see Mms.apk. Select it, and hold for a few seconds.
6. You'll now be prompted with a box. Select "Rename"
7. We want to back-up the original app in case you want to revert. so rename it "mms.apk.bak" and press OK.
8. Select the file again, holding as we were before. Now select, Move. You''ll see we have some options appear at the bottom, ignore them for now.
9. Now hit the back key on your SGSII until you''re back at root (Displays in top left as :/
10. Scroll down until you see the folder, Sdcard and select it.
11. Now, we need to use the options at the bottom. Now we're in our sdcard, select the open "paste"or move"".
12. You'll see that we now have mms.apk.bak on our SDcard
You'll want to repeat this process for the mms.odex file that was located in system/apps as well.
Well done!
Installing the new one
Basically, it's the oppisite of what we did before.
1.Select the new mms.apk from your SD card. Select "move"
2.Hit the back key, going back to root directory.
3.Go to the Systems folder, then apps.
4. Hit the "paste"of "move" button.
5. Scroll down to Mms.apk and select it by tapping once. It will now go through the install process.
Note: Make sure you have the unknown sources box ticked to allow install. If not, you''ll be prompted to change it before continuing install.
Voila - you have backed up your original Mms.apk and have the CM7 Message application installed!
If you've found this guide helpful, please don't forget to hit the "thanks" button.
That's cool. I'm yet to get this phone but it feels good that hacking has already begun.
opps wrong thread sorry
A great improvement in my mind!

Can someone please update screenshots of this ? I have looked all over and I can't see it anywhere :/
wrong section but Id like to know if this would work on the galaxy s 4g (awaiting a tmobile version of s2),
and also if someone could post a few screenies
Cheers for the post but I have a 'mute' symbol above 'Compose'
Done how do I do this with any market app? Go SMS installed but didn't replace the system mms.apk
I renamed it..does anything else need to be done to make it a system app?

I'd also quite like a screenie as I quite like the default one, but always looking for improvements!
Sample screenie.
Way much better than the stock messaging app.

Brilliant! Anyway we can invert the colours so we get white text on black background?
EDIT:
Worked fine for about 2 mins, then all of my contacts disappeared, then Messaging FC'd, rebooted and Messaging keeps FC'ing
You either didn't remove the .odex from system/apps or you didn't click Mms.apk afterwards to install it. Until you install it, you will get a force close.
I tested it on all of the latest firmwares, and it works just as I'd expect.
Thanks alot dude, been waiting for the CM7 messaging app to be released or working on this phone.
Just tested it now with your very in-depth instructions and its working fine.
Works fine for me except I can't see my avatar on my own messages. It's not a big problem but it looks weird...
Any idea ?
edit : That and the "New message" icon is actually a mute icon (a little speaker with an "X").
this is mint! no irritating iphone style bubbles, black back ground nice and simple! Also not having delivery reciepts come in as new notifications just as a tick is awesome. just put the cyanogen music player on too. Porting CM7 one app at a time. love it!
Hmm.. when I rebooted my phone I need to reinstall the mms.apk again. How do I make it permanent? I mean without the need to reinstall again after a reboot?.
Using the method described I had no such probs after reboot. Make sure you rename both the apk and odex files during the install.

This looks like just what I was after. Will be trying this as soon as I get home today. I was just wondering if there was any way to do something similar with the calendar and contacts/dialler app, as these are the only other bits of touchwiz that I can't seem to get rid of just by swapping launcher.
I just installed the Kingdom Rewind Sense 3.0 Rom which is extremely stable. However it says 4G for the Data icon. Does anyone know where I can find the 3G icon that comes standard on the Droid Incredible 2? It looks alot different than most of the other phones data icons. Thanks

Download one of the Incredible 2 roms and go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk..All the images you need are buried in that apk
Nope. The correct one is in SystemUI.apk. I can make you a mod if you upload ur systemui.apk. I'll give you the new one.
But would i flash the whole task bar or just the 3G icon. If so, how would I extract just the 3G icon and it would it be a zip or .apk file?
How do I do that?

Once I have that app then what do I look for?
Part 1
1. Download this zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?4cwpdod5ycxq5fb on your computer
2. Unzip it
3. Copy files to your SD card
Part 2
1. Download NinjaMorph
2. Select New project>system>app>systemui.apk
3. Let it do its thing
4. Go into res>drawable-hdpi
5. Find all the files that have the old 3g icon, and replace them with the ones in my zip. All the ones you need are in the zip. So, in other words just find the files with the same file name as the ones in the zip. Tap on the file you want to replace and select the file with the same filename that came from my zip.
6. Go back to main menu of NM.
7. Click Finish project, select systemui.apk then yes, then no, then no
8. Hot Restart
Hope this helped feel free to ask any questions.
Looks like nyterage made you a flashable in your other thread, but oh well.

Nice write-up, sorry OP I was at work so I couldn't answer your question in full.
Is there a way to find an icon from another ROM and use it instead? Where would it be located in the system files?
The latest update from Dropbox suck big time and I tell you why.
They changed the long press to download a file to Export option.
To ddownload a file, you do long press, choose Export, choose sdcard, then choose folder destination.
You must do this each time for each file you want to download.
This is way inefficient, and pain in the ass if you want to download multiple files.
Sucks!
The previous version was better, simply long press then choose download for each file.
Then it will be downloaded to the sdcard/dropbox folder.
And to add the injury, they moved the dropbox folder to Android/data/...
Which is not recognizeable by Gallery for example.
So, anyone has the older version? Please attach here.

Agreed.. the change in 'save location' sucks.
What I do to save a file.. which is just as quick, is tap the arrow, click "favorite".
Then it downloads it to the random ass directory it saves to.
I bookmark that directory in astro or root explorer so I can easily jump to it.
I know it's not the intention of this thread (which should prob be in general or q&a), but for anyone else frustrated with the new features.
Thanks decalex for the tip.
They could easily overcome this by:
- Add "default download location" setting, where we can specify folder location to store downloaded file
- Bring back the long press download which will be put in the above location
That should be enough.

This MOD is for those phones which have not been activated on Sprint network.
There is a thread already present how to activate Wi-Fi tethering for non Sprint activated phones here.
Many LG G2 LS980 can tether but only one device can connect to it.
This MOD will increase the number of users that connect to your phones Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Use Root Explorer , Browse to carrier/wifi/gm --> copy "gm" file to sd card of your phone, press and hold the same file to get a secondary popup menu, select rename, rename the file to gm.txt.
Press and hold again and select Open in text editor, change the value from 1 to your desired number, 2 in my case. save and exit, now when you save this file and exit, if the value you entered has saved, it will create a new file "gm.txt.bak" if this file is created then the value you have entered in gm.txt file has saved. Rename the file back to "gm" from "gm.txt" and copy back to carrier/wifi/ folder. check if the permissions are same as the rest of the files present in the same folder, if not change it to same. NO REBOOT required. Please do test and report back.
Please proceed if you know how to modify root files. I have done this mod to my phone and currently connected 2 devices, (laptop & Note 3) both have data of hotspot from G2. :good: if helped
