I hope they DONT move 1080p and higher to the subscription service, I'm scared that's why it's disappeared
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
You can also play thembwith the stock player.

I read in T-Mobile forum that when you play 4k video YouTube it's not 720 but infect 1440. It says 720 but plays 1440 . See differents in real 720 video and play then 1440 it's much better.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Not the case for me. I can clearly see it's 720p.

Anybody tried this?

Yeah, I have. Installs and opens fine, then just hangs with the loading circle animation until you.

Guide to get 1440p working (root needed):

1. Wipe YouTube app

2. Uninstall YouTube app

3. Open file explorer that has root permission (i.e. es file explorer)

4. Navigate to /system/ (Make sure it's mounted as r/w)

5. Open build.prop

6. Change the line at ro.build.version.release=4.4.4 to ro.build.version.release=5.0 and save

7. Reboot device

8. Download and install this YouTube version https://www.dropbox.com/s/vm9ncnzyy7g94pf/com.google.android.youtube-5.10.1.5.apk?dl=0

9. Go to the play store and disable automatic updating of the YouTube app

10. Open YouTube app and select a video that supports 1440p

11. Pause the video and change the quality to 1440p

12. Close the video (just the video, not the app)

13. Select the video again

14. Enjoy

I've made this guide as thorough as possible. The last few steps are optional and not always necessary, occasionally the setting for 1440p doesn't like to stick. A quick way to check if it took is if the load bar resets, if it does you don't need to close the video and reopen it.

Thanks joey, perfect [emoji12]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Thank you so much mate! Followed to the letter and it worked! Nothing else was. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Droideatsappleforlunch:
Perfect, it worked finally.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nano303:
Anyway to do it NOT ROOTED.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
If the other solutions haven't worked for you, then no.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] DruHill:
This worked for me as well. I thought viewing 4K YT videos on my Note 4 was just a pipe dream until now. [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Awesome!!! That worked perfect thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] devynbf:
Thanks so much for this. I've been trying a few methods and none worked until now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] afrojew:
Are there any downsides to changing your build.prop from 4.4.4 to 5.0.?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ThC23:
Wondering the same!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] edboy21:
So far I noticed Snote keeps closing on me whenever I click on my notes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Tom540:
Thanks Joey! The only downside is Snote cannot open my notes, not sure if there's any fix
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] future98:
Download booster is not working :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] twe90kid:
So we need to do these steps every video?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Tom540:
No, just once
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Mine still working fine on DK ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
It depends, occasionally the quality resets back to 1080 or 720 some reason. I'd double check with each video just to be safe

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Yeah I'm not sure how to fix that :/ I don't use s note though, usually action memo or lecture notes if anything

I don't have download booster at all on the sprint variant in the states :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
I'm in the stateds. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint disable it. Have you tried the nova launcher hack to see if you enable it, if it will work for you?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
That's not really a hack... But no, that doesn't work. While it enables the icon, that actual feature isn't coded into the software
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Yeah that kind sucks, but I understand. My AT&T note 4 wouldn't work either. Would just enable the icon. It don't matter really, unless your on the sprint unlimited plan anyways because it's made me use 17gbs of days in 15 days alone. I have 40 but with 9 devices on my plan, it gets a little scary.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
Yeah, well I have unlimited so it kind of sucks that it's disabled. Waiting for some dev to port it over

Finally new youtube update 5.18.5 bring again 2k resolution to 2k devices.

Note : For choosing different resolution to work,dont forget to wipe data youtube in setting/app after u instal new update.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-5-18-5-apk/

Thanks to google and apkmirror.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Ausboy 2011:
Doesnt work for me.. what steps did u take to get 1440p?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ariefabuzaky:
1. I install old youtube v5.09.13 or any previous YouTube that support 2k

2. install new youtube in top of it.

3. clean data in sytem/app

4. Open youtube and get the 2k
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Donniearifin:
Still doesn't work for me? Do i need to root?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ariefabuzaky:
What max resolution do you have? I read on CM11 4.4.4. forum that build.prop (ro.build.version.release) must be change to 4.4.2 to have 2k in YouTube. U can try it but root needed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Donniearifin:
Hi thanks for the reply

Max 720p.

No rooted atm maybe later.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Ausboy 2011:
Doesnt work for me its still 720p...
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] mrmenace:
im getting 1080p now :D still no 2k tho -_-
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Donniearifin:
How you get 1080p to work?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
This worked for me but at step 8 I installed the latest apk v5.18.5

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-5-18-5-apk/

Thanks!

Just spotted this, that's broken it then.. changing the build.prop back to 4.4.4 until a better fix comes along, Lollipop cannot come soon enough!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Actually from what I read so far, you want to hold off on lollipop when it drops. Super buggy!!! It has a whole slew of issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
Okay I'll stay up to date with that. I'm not a huge fan of all the swishy colourful stuff anyway, hoping a dark holo theme comes along for it... I'm not a 12 year old Asian girl.

I have installed 5.0 on our Nexus 7 and it looks okay from a distance but I don't use it (it's our 7yo daughters device mainly).
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Yeah I don't know to be exact. This was posted over in the alliance ROM for the note 3.

http://m.bbc.com/news/technology-30116319
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
I'm a big fan of the new design for Android. Most everyone in the industry is actually. All that dark theming gets old pretty quick. Also pretty racist and inaccurate comment, material design doesn't really fit most any Asian design choices. But, for the record, I am an adult straight white male in America, I greatly enjoy the new look of Android, and I personally know several other people that are fans of the new design. If your not a fan of it, that's fine, it's your opinion and you're completely entitled to it, but there's no reason to be rude or insulting about it

The only bugs I've seen so far are with xposed. All the reviews and purple I've seen using lollipop have loved it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
Awesome I like both styles. Material and dark holo. I love having options!!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sfld:
Still 720 for me on my vzw edition
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Donniearifin:
Its so annoying

I find 1080p option on my s4 but only 720p max for note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Edit: This will get you 1080p only. You will have install the apk from the link posted a few posts above for 2k.

I am pretty sure now the only thing you need to do:

1. Change Android version to 5.0 in build.prop. (4.4.2 mentioned a few posts back doesn't work)

2. Clear YouTube data and launch

Search 4k in YouTube and click on first video to see if it worked. Seems like there is no way around sacrificing SNote though :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ale0crysis:
Thanks Joey You the Best! Finally it works! !

If someone want test a 1440p YouTube video here it is

http://youtu.be/li8-vcpdn1I
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Sean Z:
Is this only for root users?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Yes. You have to change the version in build.prop which requires root.

Also, seems like changing it to 5.0 also breaks the smart remote app. My TV won't react to the app anymore. Anybody else?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Ciloteille:
Att does not like me watching 2k video let alone 1080p. So lame.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sandman7793:
It also breaks SNote.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] mkim055:
Im on N910U, SNote is working fine, and I got 1440p.

Thank you!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] xoo88:
Finally I can watch 1440p video on youtube app, by installed "Yourtube" exposed

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.germainz.yourtube

And change Android version from 4.4.4 to 5.0 by build prop

it works now!! happy watching!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
Unfortunately this temporary fix breaks other things on the phone.

I changed my build.prop back to 4.4.4 with no problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Fimor:
What does it break exactly?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
S note doesn't work for some users
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dazed1:
is there a database with older youtube versions which i can download from? like 2 months ago? or something?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
Which version are you looking for?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dazed1:
Any older ~ 1/2 months to make 24/1080p work? :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Donniearifin:
Decided to root my phone because of youtube.1440p working now.is there any chance we can choose 2160p on youtube?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
Seeing as the screen is 1440, no point in having 2160p. So no.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

There's an apk that supports 1440 posted by myself a page or two back
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dazed1:
Doesen't work for me....

BTW there is always point to watch even 2x higher res on your screen, even downscaled it looks far better.

If i can be sure that with root i can watch 2K i would root, but i'm not :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Ausboy 2011:
5.0 will be able.to watch 1440p youtube.. for now i use tubemate :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
Actually, the opposite is true. When a video is downscaled you lose data and quality. Pixels are cut out and the processor has to figure out what to show and what to cut. A pixel for pixel match works a lot better. Either way at over 500 PPI, you're not going to notice a difference. How you say the method doesn't work if you're not rooted? You can be sure that rooting and changing build prop works
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dazed1:
I mean where i think there were reports about someone doing root and build prop method, and later on lost the ability to watch in 2K even with turned off auto update in Playstore, i think it was after Samsung made some firmware updates.

I don't want to lose my warranty, if i'm not 100% sure it can be fixed even if it gets broken later on again, thanks.

Also i have screenshots with 1080p vs downscaled 4K let me know if you want the pictures, noticeably better on 4K.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Joey121215:
I haven't heard any of those reports and I check this thread and another daily. The only way that a Samsung firmware update would have affected it, that I can think of, is if the update included a new build.prop (which it would have) and the person didn't update it again.

No one is arguing that 4k downscaled to 1440p looks better than 1080p on a 1440p screen
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dazed1:
So what you are saying is that,

Rooted you get,

1. Like 99% 1440p working

2. And if its get disabled with fw update, you can edit the build prop again, and make it work again right?

I was talking about 4K downscaled to 1080p, vs 1080p on 1080p monitor, i got the screenshots, trust me much better clarity.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] twe90kid:
using this as well. works fine and i don't have to keep switching the quality. it will choose the highest for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
God damn. Was working fine until today. Now it buffers every 5 seconds on anything higher than 720p. It is on YouTubes end because on any other device on the same WiFi I can stream 4k seamlessly. Damn YouTube.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] aly19:
Changing the android version to 5.0 and using YourTube works but unfortunately S Note no longer works
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
New Youtube 6.0.11 anyone tested if it has full HD or 1440. The update isn't out yet on my Play Store. When I install the apk it just force closes on mine . Anyone know how to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Batfink33:
Still only 720 max for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Fuzzi99:
same here, it is very disappointing that we are limited to 720p when some Nexus 6 users I've talked to have 1440p on theirs
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] borelis:
I can confirm that S note doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
I got the apk from apkmirror and it works great but still only 720p..
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
No idea why it force closes on mine. Anyway, we are probably gonna have to wait for Samsung update to 5.0 cause Google doesn't care.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hitman42:
Update works on my 910F but no 1080 or 1440 :( its a shame with this screen ! hope 5.0 solve it ..

Anyway thanx fot sharing
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Because you need to wipe cache or because you're using yourtube module on xposed framework. Happened to me:p

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Lol! I swear some folks don't think before posting. I've been there so it's okay..
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] toofimoofi:
This should work

Change buikd prop version to 5.0

Get youtube v6+ herehttp://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-6-0-11-apk/

Get yourtube from xposed installer and enable it.

Reboot!

1440p should work for sure. At least on 910F phones.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hitman42:
But no solution for People who doesnt want root yet
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Thanks mate. YourTube was the culprit, didn't even think about that. Is there anyway to make the notification bar color change in the app, I heard it's possible on KitKat.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] rdsreference:
Mine works in 1080p by default very annoying
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sino8r:
I use tinted status bar module. Works nicely once you experiment for a while. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Narekrocks:
Isn't it supposed tobwork automatically. It does on most except the new Google apps :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sino8r:
You have to enable notification color pick on some apps and set it using that. Other require plugins like playstore.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] tee00max:
Yeah when I downloaded the new YouTube apk on my Nexus 6 1440p is showing and now when I try to install the same apk on my Note, max is 720. Come on now!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] adeelhayat90:
I am having a strange issue with my youtube app my play store is showing youtube app version 5.17.6 which came in November but the app last updated date keeps on changing its 8th Dec for now but app version does not change any info about this
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] MichaelGroth:
I hated the fact that editing the build.prop broke S Note etc, so I patched the newest youtube 6.0.13 to send version 5.0 to the youtube server in order to enable 1440p without editing the build.prop

You will still need to completely uninstall/remove YouTube from your device and replace the YouTube.apk in system/app tho(remember to set correct permissions, reboot and disable auto update from play store).

So it's clear from your screen shot you didn't follow his instructions. He states to move the app, not install it...
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
Sorry I dont see any instructions.

Care to help rather than just point out my mistake?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
:) easy fella. I pointed out your mistake and told you how to do it.

He states to delete the old YouTube via titanium, then physically move the apk to system app, set the permissions and re boot.

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. But thank you for modding the apk to try.

If you're un sure of the difference between installing and pushing a apk,

You need to have a bit of a read around before you go modding ;)

Never meant for any offence.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
How do I know the modifications he made are not malicious before asking me to push an apk he's made into my system folder?

Strange how the filesize for his modded version (8.96 MB) is substantially smaller than the official 6.0.11 apk (11.1 MB).

Sorry but I expect instructions to be explicit, not fxxking vague.

:silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
If your suspicious of the apk, you could extract and have a dig around yourself.

The op has advised the modified apk is an attempt at the app registering your device is running on android 5 without the need for build prop edits that break other native Samsung apps.

Posting a picture of a app that fails to to install is of no help to anyone. If you have questions, all you need to do is ask. The community will likely help.

No body is making you push the apk, you're here because your looking for the same solution the rest of us in this (and other similar posted) threads. He doesn't have to provide any solution he finds.

But at least he is trying. And I am thankful some one is stryng to resolve it as I feel it's a waste of a good screen if you can't use it to its full potential often.

Apologies op for the thread spam. I'm done.

It's a shame, people like yourself put people like me offering any help I can to try and resolve a common problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] oursoul:
sucks to be you
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Mike's modded apk worked for me. I did use youtube 5.18.5 before with yourtube module on xposed and that worked as well. Guess people will have to stick with older youtube or mike's modded apk until yourtube module is updated for youtube 6 and beyond.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
I'm beginning to think it might be my Rom, x note, might be the problem.

Might try another rom to see.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] MichaelGroth:
Glad it worked for you sino8r.

I will take a look at maybe creating an installable version. It was a quick mod. Regarding the file size, it got recompressed when I used 7zip to inject the modded files. I did this to keep the original signature.

To those having problems getting it to work, please make sure that youtube is completely removed from your system, and that it is not reinstalled at reboot. Try to remove the YouTube.apk using Root Explorer from system/app and reboot. Check to see if YouTube is gone, and also check to see that there is no YouTube.apk in system/priv-app, if so, remove that also. Then push my apk to system/app and reboot again.

Hi guys,

I just got the 6.0.13 update for youtube and now I am able to watch videos up to 1440p on my Note 4.

I haven't rooted or anything. It's just the regular update from google play.

Though I was already able to watch 1080p videos in the app before the update but 1440p wasn't possible before for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] MichaelGroth:
Ok Guys, so I tried to push my apk to system/app on a different Note 4, and it wouldn't show anything more than 720p, but this made me try a few things, and this is how I got it working. This might sound stupid, but I guess it's worth a try..

Uninstall Youtube completely from your system as before, check that it is removed from system/app and system/priv app. Reboot your phone and install this: YouTube-signed.apk the normal way, just install it using the package installer and

not

as a system app, it is signed with a test key, so it will take you through the intro-tutorial and most likely force close. Now uninstall that youtube version (the normal way) just uninstall it from the app-drawer. If you use Clean Master or something like that, don't delete residual files. After uninstalling that version, go ahead and push this: YouTube.apk to system/app. Set the correct permissions and reboot.

Now YouTube should load up and give you the 1440p option.

Here is a video of it working: 2014-12-11-23_51_41.mp4 (sorry about the filesize).

This worked on my colleague's Note 4 (Hopefully it will work on some of your devices also).

I will keep poking around, and get back to you guys with anything else I might find.

Also, if there is someone here with a little knowledge on decompiling/recompiling and re-signing google apps, I would be happy to share what changes I have made to enable 1440p so that we could create an installable version for non-root users, drop me a PM if you would like to help :)
