Hey thanks. This is the definition of Finesse. This works lovely on my Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700. I've always wanted YouTube audio to come through with the screen off & finally got it. Running CyanogenMod10.1.0 :D Gonna test it on DominationBuild1 & SuperNexus2.0Build4 later.

Cant wait to install this and try it out. I'm assuming the version number in the title corresponds to the youtube version thats getting modded. Does that mean will get a Youtube 4.5.17 update eventaully?

Is this useless for devices that support hd on youtube? I do like the keep playing music when screen is off so I think I'll keep it. Thanks for the app.

The only thing missing with this mod is the option to be able to view videos that aren't made available to mobile devices (if that's even possible). If that could be accomplished then this app would be fricken golden.

Is there an app that does the reverse/opposite of this? Force the Youtube app to play the non-HD version of any video? I am looking for that to reduce my data usage.
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
The stock app already does this. Go into settings and tell it not to play in HQ by default.

Also adblocking would make it complete for me :)

Install F-Droid, then search for and install AdAway. I haven't seen an ad on Youtube in years.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Ads on YouTube are a myth when you've been using AdAway. :p
[Android Apps and Games] BB88:
Is that only in the newer version? I am still using an older version and I couldn't find that option. I like the older version when you don't have to click show more to load more related videos.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Will that skip those introductory commercial/ad before a video plays correct?
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Uncheck this box in the image.
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Try it and find out. I've been blocking ads for years and forgot they even had ads in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] salisbury_steak:
The answer my friend is yes.

Any form of adblock, whether on your PC or Android device, can disable those pre-video ads.

Do consider of course, that ad-blocking hurts the internet economy in a certain way.

In any case, welcome to the dark side. lol.
[Android Apps and Games] BB88:
I tried it on my Touchpad with CM9, and the option is not even available. Tried both Youtube 4.1.xxxx and the latest version.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I had been using AdAway, but I don't like it keeps blocking any outclicks from Slickdeals forum. Adding domains to the whitelist is an option, but Slickdeals seems to change those from time to time.
[Android Apps and Games] Hypercore:
I seem to have found out the reason for the 1080 connection error. It ONLY happens on videos hosted by VEVO. I've never gotten a VEVO video to play in 1080p but all other videos work perfectly fine in 1080p.

EDIT: I am wrong. I was using a different application while testing this. With this application it still errors on other 1080p videos.

I advise trying out THIS MOD instead to view 1080 videos. I can view every video in 1080p, just not VEVO videos.
[Android Apps and Games] fanistic:
Had similar issues with adaway it blocks almost everything until I gave adfree a try though it allows some minimal ads here and there but at least you are not plagued with intrusive ads which is bearable.

I hate it how the screen refreshs/loads like 3 times when opening the app! It's so frustrating as I either have to wait for it, or re-type till it finishes refreshing..
[Android Apps and Games] sushidog:
This never happened to me. Are you sure isn't some other kind off lag, not app related?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Android Apps and Games] DannyAb:
No this is not lag. Try it-- Close The App by killing it , then re-open it and try typing a few words immediately. They will disappear, this will happen for 2-3 seconds then the app becomes normal.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
It happens also with the stock youtube. It's the whole process of logging in + refreshing your subscriptions and new videos and such.

It is definitely annoying when you start typing right away and your search terms get erased haha

Is it possible to add the original option to display videos at their full resolution? 1080p is great but on the nexus 10 display I really would like to get the most out of it when looking at videos that have the original option in browser YouTube. It'd be a nice feature for an update.

No, 1080 is the limit on the app but not selected by default.

[Android Apps and Games] DirgeExtinction:
I thought I was the only one that experienced HQ on HSPA+. On WiFi, I do get HD.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I'm pretty sure we all have that problem although I've seen that it is intermittent. From some sites or sources or whatever, 1080p streams fine, from others you have to disable HD in order to get a vid to play. I get that behavior on WiFi or HSPA+. So far I've seen no explanation for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Hypoxic1:
Don't be scared

I installed this per the OP & everything works perfectly except links from Google Currents. I then installed THIS. HD videos start immediately and play all the way through. The stock YouTube system app never did any of this properly (& no HD) and made the app useless IMO.

I do not have 1080p enabled because I don't see a difference. I get HD (720p) on wifi, 3G (HSPA & HSPA+), and even EDGE (have to wait awhile, but it does it!). Even a slow 2.5Mbps shared WiFi connection at Starbucks loads fast and plays all the way through in HD. AMAZING!

If a video is not available in HD, it plays fine in HQ. The app automatically says "HQ" and I don't have to press anything. Also, when browsing for videos, you'll now notice "HD" after the video's time in the browse list if it is available in HD (most stuff is).

Toggling HD on/off works as expected also. It seems to drop down to HQ (judging by the quality), but it doesn't explicitly say "HQ" (the "HD" just isn't lit up after toggling OFF). In addition, the xLouder mod works perfectly with this app so everything sounds awesome too!

I am on T-Mobile with the stock 4.2.2 ROM.

I installed an earlier version of this modded apk and it wont let me uninstall it! or update it to a different version. Yes I have root permissions, Yes I have tried using root explorer in ES File Explorer, Yes I have granted SuperUser Permissions to all the apps I have tried to do it with, Yes I have tried removing the app using console emulator, Yes I have cleared the data for the Youtube app and Disabled it, Yes I have tried remounting the system partition to allow RW access but it always goes back to read only!! everything I have tried keeps giving me the error READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM! I have used Root apps before and they all worked, why when I try to do something so simple it doesnt work? I have searched around on google and havent seen anyone with the problem I'm having. If it is a problem with the modded apk then there HAS to be a way to remove :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
That has nothing to do with this app. Mounting or unmounting your file system is up to your file manager app, not a modded YouTube app. That being said, Titanium Backup has the ability to uninstall system apps.

Guess I forgot to mention that I have used other apps to try and uninstall the app to no prevail. Have not tried Titanium backup and I will try and reply if it works or not.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

Tried doing the batch uninstall system/user apps and checked YouTube only and it successfully uninstalled however it was not removed from system/apps it just caused force close when pressing the app icon. It also still would not allow me to update the app. So i reinstalled it and went back into Titanium backup and found a option to FORCE REMOVE APP (BY RECOVERY EXPLOIT) it seems dangerous but might be the only option.. is this what you were talking about or the first option? also it says that it will remove the system app permanently.... does that mean I will not be able to have youtube on my phone ever??

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------
