Thx a lot .

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BeeDubs:
I already have v2.1.6 that came with Superclean 2.9.2

Is that the same version of YouTube in the OP?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shishirasm:
Guys try this instead of all that complicated steps....

1. Install youtube.apk (this is eclair version from other phone) and replace this app with your youtube app...This makes youtube app as an external app(i mean not sysytem app anymore)

2. Now go to settings->Manage apps->Youtube->Uninstall

3. Install signed_youtube.apk (this is froyo version).... Enjoy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] freedom74:
Can something similar can be done with newest Gmail App?

Old one for Eclair is pretty poor.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] arperalta3:
nop, FC again
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] arperalta3:
nop, FC before sing-in and reboot
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shishirasm:
Dude FC is because you logged in... its a draw back of this app... dont sign in... if you have signed in and getting forcce closes....

Go To Sttings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> Youtube and clear data....

It should work... dont login again... thats all
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gilt1234:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] G00fY2:
Which version has the "gingerbread" youtube app??

And after installation there is no opportunity to keep it up to date by the market, am I right?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] alcologist:
signed youtube app force closes

well the ported youtubw app looks cool and works great on my X8 (rooted with stock eclair) except one thing that once i m signed in the app and open it the second time it gets force close,nothing else i can do then,hope you check it thanks!:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] siralbert:
Youtube removed from Gingerbread

Bro this worked amazingly.. QR was perfect way .. Thanks :good:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] 3V1L Broccoli:
Do I need to root my phone for this.

I'm using a Xperia X10mini and I wonder if I need to root my phone to do this, cause I can't download the app. When i tap install it stands "failed to download" or something like that. And btw I can't uninstall the old youtube app either. I don't stands that I don't got permission for that. :confused:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ryccardo:
You need root (and /system mounted rw) to remove preinstalled apps, and as long as any app is installed you can only replace it with another version signed with the same key... so unless your phone runs ADB as root for some reason you must root it first, yep
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Well it worked at first, and then I tried searching with the widget, which gave me a force close loop, which persisted after a reboot (by persisting I mean that after a reboot, it had begun a force close loop before I had touched ANYTHING).

And now Titanium won't let me restore my backup of youtube for some reason.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] daobn24:
Yup got FC loop too. Uninstalled, reinstalled, fix permissions via rom manager, and it is working again...hopefully no more FCs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neil_clavano:
Im in ADB Shell now.

Typed ADB Remount.. it said adb: not found

Let me know what I'm doing wrong. thanks

I have Bionix 1.1 with JACS / VOODOO
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] daobn24:
I'm still getting FCs (com.google.android.youtube.apk). If you uninstall then install again, it'll work for a little while, then FCs... =(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kangxi:
It messes up when you try to use the app to watch a youtube link. otherwise, everything internally works perfect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neil_clavano:
Tried installing but it wont let me....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
guys i'm running win7 and a program called DroidExplorer. i simply renamed the downloaded 'signed' file to 'YouTubeHD' and replaced the existing YouTubeHD file using the drag & drop method.

it works...simple
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
Running JI6 Stock Kernel only modified a couple things and working great! I used root explorer to delete the youtube app. Then uninstalled com.google.xxx..(ehatever it was) which worked great. Then installed and working perfect!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Seems to have fixed it, thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:
If you receive a force close, please try to post a adb logcat along with it. However, I'll post an update tonight with a new version which hopefully fixes all those issues.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
Any screen shots of the changes?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masse1369:
Here are some that I just took off my Vibrant. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] badaphooko01:
nice find, it works great. I like the fact that you can watch the video in portrait mode and rotate to watch in landscape mode.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jamison904:
@Rolle3k thanks man! It works great and I love all the new features.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PaiPiePia:
Has anyone found a way to stop auto playing in portrait mode? Sometimes I just want to read the description without the video starts to load/play.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:

Its Rumored To Be The "Gingerbread Youtube"

As In The Youtube Thats Going To Be In Gingerbread
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ellopr:
Thanks for this!!! Finally a Youtube that doesn't suck in android. Google it was about time. This new gui rocks!!!

People don't hesitate on this, is worth it. Also I use root explorer to copy to the /system/app directory. Rename it to YoutubeHD.apk and set permission as to the original apk (rw-r--r--) using root explorer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jayprime:
Works great on bionix final. Used root explorer and erases dalvick cache after removle of old youtube app.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
what is this update for? what was changed?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] es7241:
Thanks and good work
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:
It would attempt to call a API that does not exist on Eclair thus leading to a FC.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kangxi:
Worst, mirror ever. Cannot be accessed from our phones since big ad that will not close is in the way.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Great idea porting this to 2.1, however I'm still experiencing force closes even with your updated build.

App will launch fine the first time, then any subsequent launch (literally, just trying to launch from the launcher icon a second time) will force-close, fix permissions and wiping caches again doesn't restore it to working order, only deleting completely and re-installing works, but then the cycle repeats, one normal launch, and then FC's again.

Anyway, hope you get it sorted out, here's the logcat from my phone, fyi, I run eugene's hybrid_r4 2.1 rom.

Cheers, =)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robertd0619:
Where did you delete this? I'm having problem installing mine.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kangxi:
Under manange applications.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
Ive noticed many people having force close issues and such. Im running JI6 with JI2 modem. Ive used the widget and the app continuously without any errors yet. Ive also searched the web and selected a video. When the popup asked me to choose browser or youtube app, i chose the app and no problems either.

I didnt apply the updated one this is all based on the OP link. In case my steps can be retraced to help others, heres what i did.

Root explorer to delete Youtube.apk. Then reboioted and uninstalled com.google.android.youtube. Then booted into clockwork recovery and wiped the dalvik cache. Booted up and installed fresh Gingerbread Youtube app.

Ty again im in love with this new app!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robertd0619:
Thanks. I got it installed. Had to reboot then delete from manage applications.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mak0305:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cashyftw:
Wow this looks so much nicer, thanks! I hope we get ginerbread!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] miglop:
OK I removed the YouTube app that I had on bionix 1.7 rom and i used titanium backup to remove it now I installed the new YouTube app and it wont install it just says application can't be installed I used astro then I tried adb and that didn't work can anybody help me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tsnow247:
I think I've figured out the force close issue.

There is something in the sign-in settings that is causing the FC issues.

Therefore:

Sign-in = Force Close

Stay signed out = No Force Close

This sucks cause it'd be nice to be able to favorite videos, check subscriptions etc... but it's worth it since this version is so much better than what we had before.

Would be nice if someone could figure out how to get the sign-in working though ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] daobn24:
same with tsnow247, I get FC if I sign in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lqaddict:
Getting FC's once signed in, argh re-install HD enabled YouTube.apk from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7393295&postcount=4
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:
A new version will be posted tomorrow which is going to address those fcs you receive when being signed in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] almyz125:
any plans on Gingerbread to FroYo version?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DreamcastDC:
Thanks works perfect on my Vibrant, the Youtube client is so smooth, if this is any indication how Gingerbread will be like I am a happy camper.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DreamcastDC:
Oh yeah I cant seem to find where do I post comments in the new Youtube client.. Anyone know how?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ToTheMAX:
Well I've obviously missed something, when I try to install using Root Explorer I just get "There is a problem parsing the package."

* my file was jacked up, was attempting to download from the handset and it was really an HTML file, lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chucky80:
Thanks for your instructions, it worked for me now, without fc's. Thanks OP and thanks to you for this method. I am living this. Tried it several times without fc's.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DreamcastDC:
Ok all of the sudden it's started force closing.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PaiPiePia:
It force closing after you sign in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] explodingboy70:
Working here.

I like the new slider that looks like a golf ball on a tee makes going forward or back easier.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] explodingboy70:
Anyone who is still having a problem uninstalling. I couldn't find it for the life of me with root explorer. I went into settings/applications checked the option to filter all and it was com.android.youtubehd. installed fine after I uninstalled that. Haven't used enough to comment on fc
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kuhan:
I just had to delete the apk from system/app and everything worked perfectly. I really like this new Youtube! Thanks!

But doesn't this belong in Themes and Apps?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Greenarcher707:
works great. thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] M5devil:
It works fine as long as you don't sign into your account. After that it will FC on you. If it does, simply go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clear cache/data and Force stop. It will work fine again.

Someone gotta fix the login as it's precisely that that's causing it to FC.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brian_v3ntura:
i second this. i thought the new youtube enabled you to make comments now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chucky80:
Oh well, worked fine yesterday, this morning, fc's all over again. Well back to stock youtube app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] paitobp:
Great app, but there are issues with permissions. I have to clear all data and refix permissions every time that it starts FC on me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolf90:
Good job bro!!! I would donate
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] established:
This is great, I got forcecloses on reboot but uninstalled and adb pushed again.

I love it but wish it was more stable.

Great work, keep it up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwen:
Is this the same as the new 2.0.26 found on the Market for Froyo?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McBang2023:
Application not installed?

Is anyone else having issue installing? i used root explorer to remove both stock files, but when i try to install apk, it says it could not be installed. any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hkfan:
waiting for stable version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chucky80:
Click on r/w at the top right and change it into r/o then install.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] djkdawg:
i used an app called super manager from the market to uninstall and install the new youtube app, its very simple.

make sure to go into the settings after the app installs and check the box "enable root function"

then select the apk manager

hit the menu button and select filter system and install apk

choose only system apps

now uninstall youtube

once its uninstall you can go back to the main menu on super manager

then select file explorer and select the new youtube apk and install it, thats it. no adb needed.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] UniqueNate:
The new YouTube app is a Gingerbread feature.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shoib:
Cool! Anybody able to port the Gmail 2.2 and the camera app to 2.1 yet?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jcrackz86:
Does Anyone know how to uninstall the Youtube.apk without using adb or one of those paid root explorer apps?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shoib:
Super User should work fine.

Anybody know how I can remove com.google.android.youtube? I already removed the APK, but I can't find that anywhere in root explorer/Titanium, Superuser yet its still listed in Manage Applications and won't let me install.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bluedragon1982:
will this app work on the HTC Wildfire (LDPI) running WildPuzzle v7.3.1 (Eclair ROM) and Stock unrooted Wildfire ???
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shoib:
Nevermind. I reinstalled an older YouTube apk, and uninstalled it and reinstalled the newer one. Looks great! I'm really liking it, I just wish you post comments.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jauger:
Thanks, was driving me crazy trying to figure out why it wouldnt install...simple fix..Doh!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fiestito:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Phace:
Can someone please help!? Everytime i delete youtube.apk from the system/app folder it shows right back up! i have hit the mount button in the upper right corner and still nothing happens! I also tried to change the permissions and when i check again it shows no change...Im using Root Explorer by the way.

thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harabinger66:

This is a much cleaner youtube app. Really like it. Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cesium:
Works perfectly on my Fascinate, thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McHale:
the market has 2.0.26

What version # is this?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Morvan:
Yes, it is.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] faddys123:
screen shots ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:
Almost done with the newst update. You no longer have to remove your current youtube apk ;).

Stay tuned~
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McHale:
That's what I figured. So why are people running Froyo even bothering with this?

So confused...

Tnx Morvan...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dhilberg:
Deleted the old YouTube app with Root Explorer and installed by simply clicking on the .apk on my SD card. Works great thank you!

So when are you going to port that Froyo Gmail app for your brother's Eclair phone? :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] knigitz:
The widget is force closing on me...

Starting the logcat during boot, first thing I did was unlock and add the widget. Force closed once, clicked okay, a few seconds later did the same thing, clicked okay again, didn't force close anymore but the widget doesn't seem to work and the loading image sits there spinning.

I can no longer launch the app after the reboot, also... At all. Force closes every time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] borodin1:
Thanks a bunch. I was really getting pissed of at YouTube app all this time because I couldn't watch it in portrait (don't ask why). This is perfect.

Did not try widget so can't comment on that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] destroyerbmx:
adb worked like a deam, I do like how you can surf the comments and watch the video at the same time. Slick! youtube.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] UniqueNate:
Idk what it is but I can't get this thing to install for nothing. Now the newest one says parsing problem. The last one just wouldn't install. removed every bit of the old youtube apk. now i'm stuck without a youtube client period lol smh. i didn't use it that much, but when i tried this new one on another device i actually liked it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacosta:
Thanks app is great a lot better then then the stock youtube app!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eduardo.sch:
How-to?

Guys... How did you install from root explorer?

I removed the original youtube.apk from /system/app and after that I tried

to install the new file, but I receive an error which the app can't be installed...

tks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] UniqueNate:
has the new one been put up yet where we won't have to remove the old one? we can just install it over the old one.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CamachoInc:
I downloaded the apk. But app installer says "Application not installed" every time I try. Oh well, not big deal...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jvpde:
Glad to see the Vibrant dev community being featured on the front page :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kongocui:
Tested working, thx. works perfectly.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ph0z3:
same here... tried with RootExplorer, no go... Then tried to "upgrade" with AstroFileManager.. failed

deleted the YouTube.apk from /system/app and then tried to install with RootExplorer, failed. Tried with Astro again... nothing.

Tried to reinstall the old one... with both... FAILBOAT!

-Nandroid restore from last week. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PaiPiePia:
Use ADB, it isn't hard. If you have the driver set up to use Kies, then it will work with adb.

Just download Android SDK, and go into tool/bin and open a cmd promt from there.

Use the command from opening post. Gets it done in less than a second.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheRomero09:
Samsung Captivate (rooted, 2.1): Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> find com."...".youtube."..." (something like that, i forgot), uninstall -> Install new YouTube using "root explorer" or "my files" WORKS PERFECTLY!! :D no "adb" required. Love the widget too.:cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kudoboi:
how to uninstall it? when i try to uninstall it via manage applications, i click on youtube it does not have a uninstall button, only clear data and force stop.

also do you need to root to do this?

motorola xt720
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheRomero09:
Root Required for easy(er) uninstall. have you tried the "adb" method?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] reaperzero:
great update. works just right on my motorola milestone xt720 :D

you can just install universal androot. :D easy. then install root explorer and go to /system/app and delete the stock youtube.apk :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wsmith1966:
For those that have the Rootexplorer app. It can be done. I first went into the directory where the .apk file resides and delete that. Then I used the search engine of the app to find "com.google.android.youtube" then delete that is in the root directory of the phone not your sd-card for which the search engine will show up any finds in the sdcard.

Then back into the android's settings/applications/manage applications. Once there: menu - filter - all apps. You will see com.google.android.youtube and it should say zero bytes. It wouldn't let me uninstall the dead file. On my Samsung Moment phone. I rebooted and then went back to the app to uninstall it and then it let me uninstall it.

I was able to install the updated app. I love the app and the widget. The only problem I have with it. It is force closing on me. It did it when I had Task Killer end the app. When I try to re-open it would try to open but keep force closing on me. So I had to uninstall it and reinstall it and it would work. I then made sure to check off Youtube as an app not to close. However I decided to see what would happen if I just rebooted my phone. Well, it would do the same thing. Force close so I had to once again uninstall and reinstall the app again to work. I am not sure why it happen. I just have to be careful how I use the program. Otherwise I will have to end up uninstalling and reinstalling to use the app. Which would get to be a royal pain and it might make me go back to the older version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iwillkillyou:

how difficult would this be to bring over to eugenese froyo?

You people having problems need to read the entire damn thread.

The FC's happen when you leave yourself signed in to your YouTube account. Sign out before you close it and it shouldn't FC.

thank you for sharing. It'a work great. Thump up!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jak Crow:
Not working for me. After removing the stuff for the originally installed player on bionix 1.1, installing via a file manager fails, and when I tried by by adb, it comes back saying the installer is incompatible?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] M5devil:
Has the signin FC issue been addressed already?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iwillkillyou:
Okay then do this, using root explorer search youtube, delete everything that should be deleted (nothing from /sdcard) and.above,.only delete youtube files on root,.then.reboot and unistall youtube from the task manager (pakages) your done, now intall the new youtube app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eduardo.sch:
Now it's working... I used adb!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SeanFloyd:
you're the man, other ways didn't work for me but this one did, chea!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ensonnosne:
apologies if this has been posted, but can someone repost the link to the version that doesn't fc?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McHale:
If you have Froyo, download the version from the Market. It's the exact same version and isn't all hacked up.

Why do people continually think this is something different than the version on the market?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rhonal89:
Do anybody knows if bionix is going to be including this in his latest build.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
No.
