YouTube hq

anyone know how to make YouTube play in high quality by default ? only one rom does this on its own and that's aloysus . I know when on wifi it will but I'm mostly on 3g. maybe there's on option on YouTube itself to do this ?

The version attached below will play in HQ by default.
Install through adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Install through Astro, or similar:
Code:
Place the file on your sdcard
Open Astro
Find YouTube.apk on your sdcard -> Click & Hold it -> Edit -> Move
Go to /system/app directory
Menu -> Edit -> Paste
Reboot your device
Enjoy!

Sweet. Thanks a lot.

getting the hang of using adb, worked like a charm.
thank you!

Glad to help

not sure what I did wrong but I couldn't get this to work. I didn't do ab method cause I rarely have access to a computer. did astro way and it wouldn't allow me to paste on system / app. I used Linda and that allowed me to copy / paste. I rebooted and tried YouTube but got same ole normal quality. I took a a look back at system / app and saw that YouTube apk was indeed there and it was. LOL this seems so simple and really isn't a huge deal but would be really nice for me to get this to work

Go with the ADB method, it'll work. Make sure you push, not install, install will fail with a message to the effect of same version already installed.

installed it last night, it actually makes the YouTube app worth using. where did you get the apk from?

If using astro or any other file manager you have to turn on the root settings. Also setup the SU and then mount the system via the app. I use ES File Explorer. Works great, in sure.

I did it with root explorer but when I rebooted the App was missing all together. Not listed in app drawer. I will give adb a shot but my adb drivers are all jacked.

Thanks for the apk.

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...

I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

WOW, that's just amazing. I like the new design.

Why is it working for everyone :/ except me!

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?

yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

hmmm, strange. Anyway. I just overwrote it by a normal install of the .apk. Nothin to push. And it works great.

WTF is going on :/
I navigate to /system with root explorer tap on mount R/W and nothing happens

You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..

Been using it since the morning, works great so far.. not too sure about the looks though. Too grey and too much like WP7

Man I'm not an idiot, I know that "Mount R/W" only changes the permissions and I also have to paste the file.
The thing is that when I click it nothing happens.

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB

All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

Where is the apk file downloaded from Google play stored

I have a question. You download an app from google play store to your device. And it fails to install due to device incompatibility or certificate error.
So where is the downloaded apk file stored in the device. Like in windows we have a temp folder, do we have a temp folder where the apk file is stored temporarily?

Don't you think that if there is a compatibility error or incompatibility then it'll straight away not install or not even show as available for your device... Can't say anything about certificate error

hello camrades
For this purpose, I use the Quick System Info (in Google Play)
It allows you to export to a SD card already installed in any way the application
Search on the SD card in the catalog /backups/user/...

In my case they seem to be under /mnt/asec
But there is one I can't find. Google's Music Player, the one you use when playing music you have stored in Google's Cloud.

Here's yet another answer
I just tried to download an app from google play -- 50 megs -- and the app successfully downloaded, but the install failed because I didn't have sufficient memory. But I had still lost 50 megs of phone storage space :-/ which I eventually traced back to /data/cache/ ; there was a 50-meg file in there called downloadfile.apk .

yup its right ....
but usually playstore deleted automatically...
except that files doesnt finish install... so it could be wrong phrase :silly:

if yours download temp doesn't deleted automatically try this.
create new file without extension example "04mountdl" and put this script.
#!/system/bin/sh
CACHESIZE=$(df -k /cache | tail -n1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)
DATAONLY=$(getprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only)
if [ "$DATAONLY" = "1" ]
then
NEEDED=60000
else
NEEDED=105000
fi
if [ $CACHESIZE -lt $NEEDED ]
then
mount -o bind /data/local/download /cache/download
fi
rm /cache/download/downloadfile*.apk >/dev/null 2>&1
exit 0
save file and copy to /system/etc/init.d folder.

Helpful post! But my phone (neo v) does not seem to have /cache/download directory!
It seems that this vares from rom to rom.
I thought that, the Playstore app uses /data/local to temporarily store .apk files while downloading, then installs them from there, and finally removes the temporary download-file (which then goes to /data/app).

Check /mnt/asec its usually there for some phones. I think its the way some mobile phones allocate and handle memory that affects, maybe the rom also affects.

its useful

Thank You
Looks like I'm Having a similar issue with a different device it seems like the device can't extract/copy the temp file to the correct location from the temp folder and the Install fails Leaving you with a drive full of cache files I'll continue looking and let anyone know anything useful I find

[Q] tool to remotely install apps from PC (like googleplay)

Hi there, when i browse play.google.com and i find an app i want to install i can just click it and it will install itself on my tablet.
A nice feature and i wonder if there exists any tool or maybe a site that does the same for .apk's i have already on my PC?

Try "MoboRobo", software that installs on a windows PC...let you load anything via the PC.
Videos, music, apps, etc...
Enjoy.

If you are command line savvy then a simple way may be to use 'adb push' to copy the apk directly to /data/app or wherever.
Or for multiple apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835732

And also a really simple methid is to have adb and the app in ths dame directory and run adb install app.apk

Re: Whatsapp working on the hp touchpad
Well, thank you for the reactions, but this is not what I meant.
I was talking about installing from a PC without wires.
At the moment I mostly use dropbox or box.net to upload the apk's to, then installing with ES file explorer.
I used to use Samba filesharing too.
But Googleplay manages to let me click on install and instantly installs it on my Android device, I don't think that your options work that way, right?
