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?
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

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.

newb question - installing .apk?

OK - rookie here - how do you install a .apk - I've downloaded one to my computer but don't know the next steps. The manual is silent and I think this is such a basic question that search on the forum didn't help.
Too bad there wasn't a basic FAQ for us newbies.
Thanks.
Jack

Connect your phone to your computer, drag the apk to your phone, use a file explorer on your phone (estrong) etc, to find the file on your SD card, click on it and it will give you an option to install it

You could also just use HTC Sync that came with your phone and push the .apk with that. It's how I installed Swype.

[Q] I changed provider and the simtoolkit is not present

I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

Check 10 times and I'm not in airplane mode as I can call en be called. Only data requires some settings for this provider and must be setup via the simtoolkit as per their instuctions.

I installed it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also original rooted kernel didn't make a change.
When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

For now I use the Wifi hotspot functionality from my company phone.
I need to do the following:
Choose Roaming services.
Choose Selecteer Mode.

Simcard gets updated.
If you know any app that can do the following then I'm all ears
Thanks and I'll update tomorrow!

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!

Install whatsapp on wifi only Galaxy TAB 2 7" w/o rooting your Tab

This is for ppl who are facing issues because of blue stack, apguard or getting error messages like "tablet not supported", "it looks like your client has been modified". Please follow the below steps. I tried today and it worked perfect. No need to root your tablet. For easy understanding, I have colored the text :- Red-Things that are to be done on phone . Green-Things that are to be done on tablet
1) Install Carbon backup app from play store on your android smart phone and on your tablet. My android smart phone is rooted [it should work in non-rooted smart phone as well]
2) Take a back up of whatsapp and select the option to save it on your external SD card.
3) Now move to your tablet. Take a backup of any app. In my case, I took the back up of Temple Run2 and select to save the back up in your external SD card. This is mainly done to create the Carbon backup folder structure.
4) The back up would be available under /ext_sd_card/carbon/
5) Now back to your smart phone- copy the complete carbon folder under /ext_sd_card/carbon/ and upload it some where. You can use some file manager like EXexplorer to do this for you
6) Moving to your tablet, download the carbon folder you uploaded in your tablet and replace with the one that is already existing on your external SD card.
7) Open Carbon application and restore whatsapp
8) It will ask you to install whatsapp from play store. I would recommend you to download the apk and install it.
9) Select restore option again and restore whatsapp data
10) Now you can open whatsapp with the same state as you left it on your smart phone. I mean the messages
Please note : Whatsapp can be attached to a single number only, so please uninstall it on your smart phone after the above process.
If you want to use a different number on your tablet, then follow the below steps after Step 10.
Send one or two messages to your friends.
12) Uninstall whatsapp and install it again.
13) Restore the back up again from carbon app.
14) Open Whatsapp, you will be asked to verify your number.
15) Enter your new number and select Ok. Please make sure that the new number is in working state i.e. the SIM card is inserted into a phone and can receive SMS/call
16) Whatsapp will send the verification code to your new number.
17) Wait for sometime and you will get the prompt on your tablet to enter the verification code.
18) Enter it and enjoy

Good, but there is any way of doing that without an Android smartphone? Will the Bluestacks or YouWave works?

Blue stack worked for many but it did not for me. Not sure of you wave.

Some info about Whatsapp before I answer your question.
1) You can TAG one Whatsapp account with one Phone number only
2) If you try to configure Whatsapp with a already tried phone number, then it would stop working in your previous device. [rather it asks for re-verification of the number in your previous device]
Coming back to your question :
Scenario 1 : Lemme assume that you have
* smartphone [android] with Whatsapp configured with your phone number [eg. 12345].
* you have ANOTHER active phone number [eg. 6789] which can receive SMS.
Then go ahead with the above steps and configure the other number [eg. 6789] on your tab. Now you can enjoy Whatsapp on your Smart phone [with your old number i.e. 12345] and your Tab [with your new number i.e 6789] simultaneously.
Scenario 2: Let us assume you have
* smartphone [android] with Whatsapp configured with your phone number [eg. 12345].
* you do not have an alternate active phone number.
Then go ahead with the above steps and configure whatsapp on your Tab with the only phone number [ i.e. 12345] you have. But after configuring, you will loose whatsapp on your smartphone.
You need not have your smartphone with you every time when you use Whatsapp on your Tab, in any of the above scenarios.
Please let me know if I answer your question and hit Thanks if it really helped you
Cheers

Thanks! Really helped me

Whatsapp allows you to have one number bound with one device only. So, it is impossible to have same number on both the devices.

WHATSAPP regarding
I am not able to install the APP (WHATSAPP) in my device Samsung Tab GT-P3110 without 3G build no JZ054K P3110DDCMA4...NOTE: I have tried the carbon backup trick its backing & restoring the APP data (not the App).The restore is also with errors as it cannot see the APP in the device.... it asks for app but playstore wouldnt allow (it says the device not supported). However the App is installed from other way .....but would not continue to work . It stops & says (unfortunately its stoped).
Show me the way how to override.....& make the play store to allow install the APP.

It did work for me on an already existing number and all its data too got restored.. Maybe you're missing a step..
Install apk but do not open it.. Restore data and then run/open the app... That did the trick for me..

[HOW TO] Note3 Playstore/Samsung Apps Spoof

Alright guys, Iv figured out another nice little mod to view both Samsung Apps & Google Playstore as a Note 3 on your mobile device, in my case my Galaxy S4.
You might be wondering why we would even want to do this ? At this stage Note 3's have access to exclusive APK's for example the app "Atooma" for the gear !
Your mobile device MUST be rooted. Also please keep a backup of your original build.prop.
Also I cant confirm this works on every device, although works perfectly fine on my Galaxy S4 i9505.
So lets dive straight into it.
1. Open/pull "/system/build.prop" from your rooted mobile device using a root file browser or adb.
2. Open file in a text editor.
3. Replace the default lines with the following:
Code:
ro.product.model=SM-N9005
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
ro.product.board=MSM8974
ro.build.description=hltexx-user 4.3 JSS15J N9005XXUBMJ3 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/hltexx/hlte:4.3/JSS15J/N9005XXUBMJ3:user/release-keys
4. Save changes.
5. Set permissions to your modified build.prop if they do not match with other files in the /system directory.
6. Navigate to "Settings -> Application Manager -> All -> Google Playstore" and "Clear data", "Clear cache" & "Force Stop".
7. Restart device.
You will now have access to Note 3 exclusive apps, I recommend downloading the apps you want and reverting the changes you have made to the build.prop.
What I have done is kept a backup of my original build.prop in the system partition and I just swap them around when I need to by renaming & restarting, remembering to clear data & cache of the Playstore !
Remember to hit thanks !

Unconfirmed, I would say only 4.3.. although you never know, just give it a try.
Worse case scenario if anything goes wrong just reflash your rom and it will revert all your changes.

I use root explorer, which includes a text editor.
I would recommend pulling your build.prop to your PC tho, so you can simply copy & paste.

just tried and when i try to replace the build with the modded one it wont keep the mod it reverts back to sgh-i337
im using 4.2.2 i think thats my problem.
thanks for the intel i will try it again when i get 4.3http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

If this works with earlier versions (pre-4.3) then this would remedy the issue that I and so many others have been having
with the Gear Manager application where it won't sync with the watch because it detects that you are using an "unsupported device".
I might try this out sometime...
