that is not the same as the stock version..the video quality is still the same (horrible) that version is 2.0.2
Google better make this right fast! come on guys, seriously..
you probably want the htc version of youtube. its the pretty red one. not the ugly google one. why didnt google just cab up htcs version?
Google stuff looks crappy by design. I pretty much like the HTC Youtube Cab, are there any significant advantages of the original one?

That is exactly the one I want. Alas, I have yet to find it.
edit: i some how messed up the first quote the first time
well what you are looking for is youtube 2.5 (probably 2.5.1915.1528 which is the stock for rhodium). im looking around but all i can find is the older ones that didnt show all the videos and wouldnt do landscape. ill keep looking though.

lol ya tried that one too. tells me installation unsuccessful. running official 6.5 and cf3.7 if that matters.
you need 2.5 for windows mobile 6.5.
Here you go.. found this today! go to the link and you'll find a cab for the stock HD2 youtube, it works perfectly on my touch pro 2. There are other great goodies to download from the link, thx to kurniawan77...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639964
This is sort of my first real post, so hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong.
These are cab extracted from the HD2 and most of them work perfect on my touch pro 2
The YouTube cab is the one that came originally with the HD2 and similar/if not the same to the one that came with the touch pro 2. I tried it and it worked perfect!!!!
thanks to kurniawan77..
ENJOY!
tjworldgreatest, you are the best! of course that worked!! flawlessly, finally I don't have to cringe while watching some videos..I was never into the full user experience on Youtube, so I really don't care about my login stuff anyway..
does the hd2 version of youtube bring anything extra? i might get bored and install it.
^^not that I could tell..Looks exactly the same. Both versions are still 2.6..

Oh Yeah....
Your going to get that on any of the ripped HTC YouTube versions....they dont support landscape, expect for when the video plays.
With search and what not in the menus, you have to use on screen keyboard.
They arent meant for our devices...
the stock version of youtube for rhodium has landscape support.

call recording on Gingerbread attempts!

Been cruising around the forums looking for any sign of attempt that some of the pro's out there are trying to bring call recording to gingerbread. Then i suddenly realised that there are a lot of us out there actually waiting for this option in order to upgrade.
So anyone interested in seeing call recording on gingerbread this is the place to attempt it.
I am now downloading gingerbread and planning on pushing the call recording files over to see if it could be as simple as that.
Anyone with more experience your input would greatly be appreciated.
UPDATE: ok phone wouldn't boot similar to BridX's situation.
Any Dev's care to give their input?
Hy, I'm waiting this option too. I also wait gingerbread lock animation.

2 way recording can be easily achieved without even a need to flash Darkyy's rom, since it is based on 2.2.1.
This thread is for GB, and checking to see if it works the same way as in 2.2.1. Obviously it looks like it doesn't.

Has anyone tried this on JVK? im planning on but i flashed my phone too many times this week i need a break to focus on exams
I'm also waiting to call recording in order to update to Gingerbread!
It will be available once the relevant rom (china GB, i believe) is out. Asking for it isn't going to make it come out any faster.
Wasn't the call recording phone apk pulled from the SGS Armani?

Just though I would ask if anyone has modded the .apk file to allow us desire people to use video chat out of the back camera ?

I swear I once got the camera working on the previous version. I don't know. Might of been the iPhone instead.
I would love to have the video option as well. It's silly that just because of no front camera the Desire is not supported. There still could be use for the video function
I have google talk 2.3.4 installed and the video works there, but still would love proper Skype support also...

man, is that so hard to see that there is a service always running on background? the purpose of Stop Skype is to stop all background processes, nothing more, nothing less...or you can force close the application, but it's not so handy.

Nightly 210

Heya,
I can't post to dev team thread, but still want problem to be known:
I'm very pleased so far with 'cm_buzz_full-210.zip'. Just noticed one regression: if connected with Ford Radio via Bluetooth, that build provides only a 'last call back' feature, whereas CM 7.0.3 provided 'address book list', 'missed call list', 'emitted call list', 'call log list'
best regards and big thumbs up for this forum
m
Do you mind testing again with nightly 199? There was some bluetooth changes after that, so it would provide some indication if that's what causing it.
Hi, the last few CM7 Nightlys (205, 209 and now 210) have Car Home popping up every time I plug in the charger. I tried d/l "Disable Car Home" from the Market but it's nor really working - any tips on how to disable Car Home?
Thanks!
** update **
don't know how but problem seems to have disappeared.
maybe it was the power off+battery pull...
bluetooth does not work, GPS and WIFI works no problem
Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 if there's any way to debug why BT dont turn on
im on CM #209..seem all working fine with bluetooth WIFI and GPS ...
radio i have is 3.35.20.10

It seems, that the "oldest" nightly is 'cm_buzz_full-203.zip' (according to http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/nightly/buzz/). Any idea, where else I could get 199?

There is nothing to fix except your stupidity, flash Google apps if you want the market then learn what you're doing to your phone before you actually do it.

calls go straight to speaker
My Bluetooth, Market, etc. work fine with #210,
but I have a new problem - whenever a call comes through and I answer, it goes straight to speaker...
I've seen elsewhere that the GoSMS app might be the cause but I've never had it installed, and people say battery pulls, restarts and /or factory resets didn'r help.
any ideas?
Thanks!
