Re: [MOD] YouTube 4.3.9 (v3b), 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback

Agreed this is the first one to refuse to let me log in on my N7. All the previous inverted ones worked.

Is there a way to go back to previous versions? Err never mind I think I have it backed up. Lol

EDIT: Ok TB restored previous version to 4147 and it's logging me in instantly. Retried the latest version 439 and it fails to allow logging in with a simple error message.

Like the inverted version myself...

EDIT 2: 4216 also does not allow the logging in of your Google account. Back on 4147.

Error signing on

I am using this new version and I think it works fine.

Everything works for me, except for a sign on error that I get.*

When I attempt to sign on to youtube using the app, I get an error box (too quick to read) and the words "an error occurred" in a message box in the lower area.

All videos work but when I click on a lower video to watch it I again the error in the lower section.

*I have reverted back to the stock app and still get the error, so it is not your mod that is causing this.

I can sign in to all gapps with no problem and it also is fine on any pc when I sign in.

So you're using modded gapps instead of original ones, right?

The proper gapps can be found there:

Make sure to get the one for your version, and replace the 2 I mentioned in my earlier post MANUALLY (via extraction of the zip then copy-paste to the right place) instead of flashing the zip.

You selected: screen off playback at Advanced Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Used logcat to diagnose the issue, pointed at "gsf" being unable to authorize, which is linked to Google Play and Google Services Framework. Someone else (Kryten) also had that issue with the rom he's building, saying that when he used modded gapps he was unable to login in youtube app but using normal apps AFTER wiping everything worked fine. But if he didn't wipe, it wouldn't work, even after clearing data for the gapps he replaced.

So I figured out that it wasn't due to special data being stored somewhere but rather that flashing proper gapps on top of old gapps somehow didn't replace googleservicesframework.apk but did replace phonesky.apk for some obscure reason. Copy-pasted both back to where they belong, cleared Google Play, Youtube and Google Play Services data, and tada I was able to login.

Although I appreciate the thought of your app, it has some issues with the new YouTube API's.

I have built an application that allows a person to watch YouTube videos while using other apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sudsoftware.floatingyoutubepopupplayer

However, I receive a large number of complaints that the app does not work on some devices. After further investigation, I discovered all of these complaints come from users who are using this modified version of YouTube.

Could we please work together to address this? I would like some method to identify if the user is running this modified version of YouTube. Do you know if the package name or version number of the application is different from the stock YouTube application?

In addition, is there any thing you can do to resolve this issue on your end?

Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation.

Is there some way to programatically detect if the user is using the modified YouTube app or the stock app?

Some key identifiers to distinguish apps are:

- App name

- Package Name

- Version Number

Are any of the above different in this version then the stock YouTube app?

Just got thinking... to those people have these issues with modded Youtube not working with other apps and are rooted, wouldn't moving the app to /system/app instead of /data/app fix your problems? Apps in /system/app don't get their certificate checked AFAIK.

You actually have to change the code in the Youtube API library you include (jar?).

Are you absolutely sure?

Cause I've tried it and it doesn't work for me..

It makes no sense either. The APK signature is still different so the API won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] belair56:
Yes, I did as the floating app said. start YouTube video select share, picked the app. It appeared on home screen, I could start/stop video re-size widget.

It did force stop 3 or 4 times when first tried, but after that it works fine.

I'm using YT_4.3.9_v3b_inverted if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] net_vampire32:
I like the idea of resolving this directly within the app itself so users do not have to decompile it .

How does one go about decompiling the YouTube jar? This is something I am not experienced with.

Also, to the original developer of the YouTube mod, would you like to work together to actually merge both our apps? I think it would be fantsatic to have a quick link to switch a video into the floating popup mode.

Help!

Hi, I need some serious help with this app. At first, I just deleted the original YouTube.apk from system/apps, and then I just installed the 3G + WIFI HD version for Gingerbread. When I did this, the app still looked the same (all black) but HD was listed next to videos instead of HQ. However, all of the videos were stretched off my screen (I have an HTC Thunderbolt).

Because of the videos not fitting in my screen and the app not looking like the one shown in the screenshot here, I searched online for a stock YouTube.apk, which I pasted back into the system/app folder. However, I got a bunch of force closes, so I deleted the apk again, and now youtube always force closes, it doesn't show up in my apps so I can't uninstall it, even though the icon is in my app drawer, when I try installing from the market, it says "duplicate provider authority" and won't install, and if I try installing the YouTube.apk I found on another site, or this .apk, neither will install now.

I just want stock youtube back. Please help.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Ah, nevermind, I figured it out. Had to delete all updated for "com.google.android.youtube" for some reason that was under my manage apps instead of just YouTube. Deleted the whole thing, allowing me to reinstall stock YouTube.

Anyone know a solution for why my videos were getting cut off in HD on my Thunderbolt? And why YouTube doesn't have that cool, new white look instead of the old, boring black?
