[think tank] Youtube HD standard over 3G

I like watching youtube a ton, and lately I've grown tired while at work after every video switching back to HD.. does anyone know where to find the coding for the youtube apk and get it to do HD by default? Sorry if this has been covered.
-Charlie

I used the app that removes the clock from the status bar.
xUltimate-v1.2.4.zip
One of the options is a patch to make YouTube HD the default.

Sorry. You can search this forum it Google. It's a PC app. It requires adb, but the process is done by the app. I'll try and find the link and post later, today

Well that depends on where you are, and they are rolling out more 3G coverage as we speak.
And if you see some of my posts, I'm pretty darned critical of AT&T, so no fanboyism here.

Free Hero of Sparta limited Time.

Free Gameloft Hero of Sparta limited time. If you have issues like me ask support for a direct link. They emailed it to me and works fine. Just said I had a N1. They replied with in 5min.

open up your browser. now, type “about:debug” and hit go. click “Settings”, and scroll on down to the bottom to reveal the “UAString”.
you now change your user agent string — the bit of info that tells a website what type of device you are running — to “froyo-n1”.

Anybody wanna share the link they receive by text message or the direct download link that the OP mentioned ? I am not receiving the text lol

Keep getting an error would anyone be kind enough to post the link to the game or the APK?

That link didnt work for me gave me another error.
Here is the link I got directly from Gameloft : - removed link apparently its a one device only apk -
Enjoy guys!
Update: that link got me a version of Hero of Sparta and it runs smoothly however there is no sound coming out of the speakers at all (I obviously checked the volume rockers lol) The Media Volume is crossed out.
I had asked them for a Nexus One apk so that might be the reason, already put another request for a Galaxy S apk letting them know I have a Nexus S we will see what they say
Update 2: Their answer :
Hello!
I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, your Android device Samsung Nexus S is not supported. Our development team is constantly working to bring new games to all platforms and we forward them all your suggestions. We do not currently have any specific information to share about release of games for your device, but be sure to follow our Twitter (twitter.com/gameloft) or like us on Facebook (facebook.com/gameloft) so that you'll be the first to know when this changes. All our new game announcements are available there in real time, so stay tuned!
If your device is not supported, please do not try downloading a game which is not for your specific phone model. Each game is built for one particular device. If your phone is not listed, it's no use trying to get another game build. It will not work and it is not meant to work.
Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
Best wishes,

Do you mean the background that was shown just today on a phone that hasn't been released yet? Is that the background you want?

Nah...I really don't care for it, and you are welcome.

You do realize that the question you posted is completely free of any kind of value, right? The phone has not been released yet as you know and as pointed out by scott14719.what makes you think anyone would have anything from the aforementioned device? So yes his post was more than helpful.

Well, I felt a little nice today, so I used this new search engine called Google. It finds all kinds of stuff...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snviPlIndHo
There are a couple of "clicks" involved, but nothing to technical. It's not really "official' but it's the closest you are probably going to get for now.
Enjoy.
p.s. if this isn't what you want or need just give it a little while and it will start popping up.

is there any app or tweak that allows us to write something on screenshot ?

as the title says, is it possible? i would love to be able to write on screenshot, it's helpful etc.
so if there is a way, please let me know.
thanks!

You mean like Snapchat? Text over a screenshot or drawing like in MS Paint? Just use a picture editor. Go to the Play Store and search for picture editor and find your favorite one. Dozens of options.

true ,but i was just thinking maybe there was one specifically for screenshots. (like the one in note and huawei mate phones)
but i think there is nothing like that for the nexus xD
i will stick to the editors like you suggested.
thanks for the feedback.

best choice trust me , owned galaxy's (s2/s5 note 4)
jumped to the nexus series in 2015 got nexus 6 loved it up until i noticed it had terrible banding, still used it for about 8 months , recently got the 6p (thankfully no banding) nothing beats stock android on nexus phones.

Screenshot crop and share on play store, just search it, some Roms even have it built in, can write, blur things out, all kinds of stuff

I use keep. I share the screenshot to keep, then write with the pen tool, and then share the note... which is shared as an image. Pretty effective way IMO if you don't want to have any extra apps lying around. You have to tap the share icon twice (one for the screenshot, another one after doodling) but you're gonna have to do that with pretty much every app.

Didn't even think to do this, saves installing another app.. gotta get used to it, but pretty useful.
Thanks

Good Lock 2018

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!

This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.

Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!

Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go

Can't find it in my Galaxy store. Can someone share the APK?

I actually like the fact that you can add it. I wish the whole Samsung UX was like that. If Samsung came with just stock android and you could pick and choose features you want to add. It would be freaking magical. ?

You can search xda for badlock, its an app that has all of goodlock's sub apps wich enables ypu to run goodlock on the phone. A simple youtube or google search will be sufficient

Have you tried using Aptoid? It's an alternate app store. I see it has Good Lock 2018 too.

For region-locked people, Bad Lock 2018 is your friend.

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.

Sometimes it's just easier with Aptoid. Download get the app you want. Uninstall. Apk mirror is also a great option. Thanks for sharing.

For reference these are the apps you may want to install:
Samsung Task changer
Routine
RoutinePlugin*
One hand operation
Samsung Quickstar
Edge touch
Edge lighting +
ClockFace
