Hello man.
To start with a clear mind the youtube app can only be installed on 2.2+ but there's a way to work it around.
First you must be rooted, root explorer should be installed too.
In root explorer go to system/app
Mount r/w on the top right you'd find a button to do it, in this file u'd find the youtube app, delete it.
Now go back two times and enter the file data/data, also mount r/w , now search for the word tube here and then delete it.
Now u can install the latest youtube app

[HELP] Need help from anyone with developer phone

I need some help from our friends that own a developer phone and have the GB leaked ROM running. Just open the adb shell with sdcard mounted and type the following command:
busybox find /dev -exec busybox ls -lad {} \; > /sdcard/devfolder.txt
After that just upload this file here on xda.
This command will scan in detail the contents of /dev in GB ROM so I can compare with froyo's.
Thanks a lot.
toffee^god and SedaG have their phones flashed the leak GB. Maybe you can get this file from them.

you have so many questions,
1. back up your current rom when modifying some stuff, using xrec you can revert back.
2. tell us hows the battery life . its only you can answer your question.
3. every person using x10 uses our device in a different way.
4. don't believe what they say try it yourself..

[tip][GSM][ICS][GB][confirmed] Extra 130mb storage for apps

u guys using ics roms and need some extra space for system apps?
Requirements: must have flashed Neo L ftf or GB ftf modded by cosmicdan for miui Australia. This is to enable vendor partition.
Go to system/vendor and add app folder (if not already there) u can add any app that u want (system, user, even lwp). This partition has about 130mb of unused memory.
I tried this on stock 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and 2.3.4 Dont know about cyanogen.
so here is how/where the apps go.
quoting cosmicdan
Vendor/appslog is it's own partition but it's gets mounted to the system/vendor folder. Stock R800 has partition order (1) system, (2) userdata, (3) unused (including vendor/appslog) (4) cache:

but this doesn't give you extra space does it? Just the same system storage as it's in /storage

It just does not count against system or data. Try it u'll see.
I dont know exactly which partition it uses.

It still uses the same exact space. All it does is "trick" the phone into thinking there is more memory when in actuality there isn't. Take it from a developer that has been doing this since android came out, THIS ISN'T REAL.
Cool.
Im no dev, so I cant argue, but it allows me to install more system apps. Wallpapers and ringtones.
I have 96 mb free In system vendor. And 65 mb free in system.
Currently using customized xdark v2 Rom. Added some Xperia gx apps, live and regular wallpapers, ringtones, forget what else.
The stock neo L 4.0.4 fw uses this folder for many system apps. If Sony uses it why not us?

See how system/vendor is different from storage? Look at the bar in the ss.
Trick or not it works. When u move apps there, it frees up space in system storage, so you can throw more things in there. Dont believe me? Try it.

I guess you don't quite understand how the android OS works. It does not free up anything, it only allows you to think it does. Please do some research before posting.

Yes, you are.
You are right. I dont know anything about android. Like many here, i'm learning from devs like u.
I'm most likely using the wrong terms too, so I dont think i'm making myself clear.
But thanks for looking. :beer:

you clear to me , but this doesn't give more space.

Maybe I see your point now. No it does not give you extra space like your mod with ftf. It is just a folder that does not get used by custom roms (zip flashing does not add anything there. Therefore, face unlock issues by many users. And cwm recovery does not back it ip either probably because it is not in the system partition?)
But the folder is there mostly empty.

use root explorer of your choice. navigate to system/vendor and add folder named app. it should look like system/vendor/app. set permission 755. rwxr-xr-x and you are done. add apps manually and set permission 644 rw-r--r--
Edit: interesting, I did not imagine that Verizon users would get a different partition layout, thanks for the info!
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Hmm, I notice that my system/app folder and my data/app folder on the phone have two different amounts of memory that are used and free. Therefore, two separate partitions? Forcing apps into system apps would free up space on the other partition...That's what this is all based on, right?

right, vendor is a third partition that gets mounted onto system. therefore, adding stuff there frees up memory from the other two. system and data.

I just flash that Rom last night and I had like 14kb free in system. (the fix 1 he has wasnt flashing cause of full memory) After moving stuff I have now 50mb and added more stuff like gtalk, walkman by thilina c, Xperia s v2 apps thats flying around in neo thread, mmmm forgot what else.
What root explorer r u using? For me the best is rom toolbox cause it shows u the available space. For each partition.
