Where to get YouTube HD apk

Hi, does anyone know how and where to get HD YouTube apk that works with our phone?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

try changing the phone's resolution. i've noticed that when i set mine to x720, even opera browser's interface changed. the menu is no longer a bar at the bottom but like on the upper left, if im not mistaken. and yeah, i remember youtube being crisper. look for lcd resolution at the market to set screen res.

I'm no genius on the matter, but I think you would need a phone that supports the HD resolution which currently are only a select few with ours out of the picture.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

The thing is I have the Galaxy Nexus
And it has a YouTube app. That shows the videos in HD. I know our phone doesn't have HD screen but that doesn't matter it can downscale and it will still look crisp.

U would have to push it to system apps folder, fix the permission then reboot to give it a chance

Well I tried to put it in the system apps and deleted the original apk then changed the permissions to the same as all the other apps still it says problem prasing the package. It can't install. I rebooted still nothing. I have the apk and the odex file but I don't know how to post it here.

There should be a button to attatch a file. I believe you have to have had your account for an extended amount of time in order to use it.

Hmmmm. It might just not work bro

The new YouTube comes part of gapps with ICS so you would need to have ICS framework most likely to make it work. The new gmail app is also like that as well.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

i guess you guys missed my point. the gnexus version might have a compatibility update just to make it work with ics. but to make youtube's hd look better our phone, we must have an hd screen or at least make the youtube app think that we do.
change your phones resolution from x480 to x720 (using lcd resolution app from the market) and youll see apps like youtube and opera browser detect your phone's res and adapt to it.
HD vids on a fake 720 res is much better than on our native x480's youtube hd vids. opera browser's interface changes just by changing the phone's res. try it and youll see what im talking about.
what it boils down to is, we need someone to make the youtube app think our screen is at least x720. that might work.

LCD Density

Doss anyone here know a good app to adjust this for JB
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Any sort of build.prop editor should work as long as you're rooted. Change ro.sf.lcd_density to your required value. This should almost guarantee computability with JB.

Thanks. Glad to know. I didn't know Rom Toolbox could so that. And I have the Pro.

Link to the toolkit? I was unaware the 7.0(?) had been updated to support JB.
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't realized it was toolbox that was mentioned and not toolkit.

I didn't check I just did it on the off chance . Every ROM I've used ROM toolbox has always been able to change DPI where as other apps haven't. So do it anyway see what happens lol but its fine

DPI and play store

Can someone post the steps to get Google play store to find certain apps when it doesn't recognize my device because I have the DPI set low? I remember when I was on aokp it had the steps built into the ROM but I don't remember how. Play store either doesn't show what I was searching for or it says device not compatible. Also what is the lowest you can set it before the play store can't recognize it? Thanks!

Change dpi, reboot, clear market cache, enter market, accept.
As far as dpi for market, depends on what you consider working. As you move away from stock, you start having different things happening like movies+tv disappearing or apps being not supported. You have to mess around since no one has yet posted a list of trial and errors. To get around the apps issue, download the modified market app. It will remove the app restriction, but be careful you don't try to install something you shouldn't.

Download LCD modder pro. It gives you the option to download modded market. Works great for me
I use rom toolbox pro to change dpi, reboot, download 2 files from lcd modder pro, install and reboot. You might see a bunch of things fc while its prepping to reboot but its fine

Haha! I know the feeling!!! Just a quick note!
When you replace the files. Delete the app cache for the market and Google services framework via settings then flash the modded market. I'm gonna look into Google services framework as well and see what role that gas in market compatibility. Also after replacing files, reboot to recovery and clear bother cache partition and dalvik cache. That should help.

So after I changed DPI and rebooted, my phone wouldn't come on. I did dark side cache several times and phone wouldn't come on. Thank God I had an old nandroid. Not the current jb one. So I did follow the steps exactly like you said.

Did you change the DPI before adding the files? or did you change the files then change DPI and then reboot? It being JB shouldnt really matter as the android market is pretty universal as GB market works on ICS and etc. However they may have changed it.
Can you provide an exact step by step as to what you did?

Many apps from Play Store not compatible

Anyone else finding this phone is not compatible with a lot of android apps?. All the apps I purchased (about 75) were compatible with my Samsung Galaxy W. Now half of them, if not more, are not compatible with the S2X. A phone that's twice as powerful.
Is there any way of fixing this?

Your dpi needs to be that of a native resolution. 160 240 or 320.
Or you can use a hacked market and Google services framework which always returns a constant value for your display resolution.

The second link looks more promising. I've tried a couple and have gotten a lot of other errors not related to compatibility. So I modded my own. It has simply JUST the dpi hack nothing more nothing less.

i flashed the 2nd link, i can now see all my apps and update them (sweet!) but still missing the movies and book section of the market and the categories of apps like "top apps" and "top paid" only show like 5 apps... weird. i posted there to see what he says.
UPDATE: I can confirm the second link works perfectly. The whole market is there, all apps are there, displays all currently installed apps and able to update all apps.

Haha you beat me to it...was just about to post

It's not laggy for me on any of my development devices, including my N7. Not sure why the difference, but I'm sure the next update will resolve a lot of the issues.
