I downloaded it using dolphin PhD and then used astro to install and worked fine
The stock app defaults to HD when you're on wifi/4g. When you are on 3G, it defaults to lower quality, but just hit menu--more--watch in HQ is still an option.
Thanks friend! Works perfectly.

That app doesn't have upload functionality.
And the default app only uploads over WiFi (refuses to work on either 3G or 4G connections).
Anyone know how to get an upload to work over 4G?
Thx.
Or just push the hq button in the lower right-hand corner. If its red then hq is on.

This app (and the HQ setting in the included app) don't seem to do improve the video that much.
The video quality is much higher when I download Youtube videos using the Youtube Ripper app. I am guessing that the HQ setting gives you a slightly better .3gp version of the video. The Youtube ripper app pulls down a .MP4 that is better quality.

Bubby's oasp rom(in dev section) has youtube.apk that plays HQ on startup,all you have to do is go in settings and select HQ default and it will play HQ on default and yo can push HQ button on the side to switch to LQ if you want.

here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.
Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.
i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.
Didn't the market update to 2.4.4 allow for HD playback?

Why is the Epic not capable with the standard version?

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget
Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.
Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.
Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!

Anyone worked out how to get youtube to play in the background yet?
Would be nice for it to still play whilst multitasking

I miss this too Was great when I could do it in my SGS1. Load a youtube vid and hit the power button to lock the screen so its off OR even start my browser and surf while playing youtube music Pretty bad decision for Google/Samsung to break this in ICS.

I dont think its an app thing. I believe ICS is codded for it. Kinda like how when you are listening to music and take pictures the music pauses for a moment to execute the shutter sound even if you have disabled it

Does anyone know if theres a way to make youtube rotate to landscape even with screen rotation off ? I remember this used to happen on my SGS
Noticed that the YouTube app only plays in HD mode if you are on either WIFI or LTE. (Note 2) Anyway to make that app think that I'm on LTE on the S3?
You could always just go to general settings in the YouTube app and click high quality on mobile

Yup. But it ain't HD. It's a bit painful to watch when your used to HD. I know T-Mobile non LTE speeds are fast enough.
Since Youtube auto-adjusts to the available speed, I doubt there's any way to switch to HD. You can use the Browser based Youtube or tweak your Data Speeds based on Doc Holiday's Tweaks in the S3 Modem Thread.
You can try using this app, you can stream HD videos even if you are on edge. and it has other functions too

Hello, I have a note 2 n7100. I used to have 4.1.2. Flashed 4.3. Everything went well. One thing that's bothering me is the youtube app video quality is low even when I choose HQ. It gets better but it's pixilated. On 4.1.2 it was basically hd. Has anyone else experience the same problem? I can't figure out what it is. The rom?. Or a setting somewhere? Could a custom kernel effect it somehow? Any tips or advice appreciated.

Are you on 3G? Because usually the app switches to HQ rather than HD only on 3G.
Also there is an app called Viral .. It let's you choose whatever quality you want, its kinda good, you may want to try it
Thanks, i guess i had a modded youtube app before where it would automatically play hd in 3g. Noe it only has hd option on wifi only. The only solution i foind is the OG youtube downloader. Where you can choose what quality you want when on 3g. But it doesnt have an auto option to go to highest quality when on 3g. Ill check out that viral app. Thanks.

Actually most of the roms have youtube apk as system app and those apks are a little modified for better performance!
If u have system youtube apk then you can remove it by using root uninstaller from play store(needs root).
And reinstall youtube from play store!

Bow that YouTube update the app and it no longer supports 1080 or 1440, does anyone have a working apk that activates those two resolutions? I found the apk of the new material design version but the highest resolution is still 720p! I hope they really fix this soon! Anyone have any info on this?
