**This is not intended as a flame**
A) This topic has been covered 9,999,999,999,999,999e10 times on the forum before
B) You need to provide more information. (ROM version, program being used for YouTube, etc...)

SEARCH and you will find the answer to you question. (See my sig for a link.) As NotATreoFan stated, this has been asked and answered.
It amazes me that people just drop into the forum and ask a question providing no information about their device or what they have done already to troubleshoot their issue. (In most cases this is because they have done nothing.) Rather conceited of you to think that YOUR configuration is the only one. There are thousands of device\Rom\radio\apps combinations out there. Even if we wanted to help you we couldn't since you have given us ZERO information about your device. All we know is it is an HTC Handset, which means it is one of a dozens of different possibilities.
Don't waste your time, and forum space, by posting generic questions like this. In fact, don't even respond to me. Just go search for your answer.

Wow ! And I thought I had a problem with caffeine in the morning. Sounds like he may have meant is there a problem with you tube. But I could be wrong.

The Kaiser does not have native support for YouTube. You should download and install a program called TCPMP, and also download the FlashVideoBundle plugin for it. I cannot point you to a specific link because there are several different versions of TCPMP/FlashVideoBundle, so you have to experiment and find which one works for the ROM you are running.

thanks for a quick reply, at least some people are decent on here, but after comments like that off other members in not coming back...
this community needs some decent members!!!!
denco7 go "mod edit" yourself

You QUIT Flaming other members. This only make you as bad as them.
The reason they told you to search it this. If you had used the Search function and entered "how to play youtube" you would have found a bunch of answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320962
So What have we learned here.
1. Youtube is not supported Native.
2. Search Will yield Results, I promise.
3. You catch more flys with honey versus vinegar.
4. Don't be rude, even if someone else "started it."
Follow these rules and you will have a happy forum life.

I understand your anger but in the future, please don't swear at other members unless you want to enjoy a vacation at BANville. Read the flashing red message in my signature or follow the link to the forum rules to understand why I edited your post.
Thank you for understanding.

Excuse me ? You little ass wipe .... I was defending you and telling kimtyson to relax a little.
Now you can take your 50 IQ and inability to figure out a simple electronic device and your " membership " and shove it up your ass. Asshole!
Sorry, I needed to make a point. Edit away P1
Edit 2 : If I considered someone like that a " member " then it would be swearing at another member.

ROFL, too bad there is not a way for nub cakes to unregister so as to not muddy up the nice clean waters of XDA w/ 'how do i play youtuube on me locked phone frum da AT and T's pluz! HALP MAI!' f'n nub cakes never use search...

I'm sure someone is getting banned or something. REGARDLESS>>>

Yes i don't put my device type and rom in my sig.
But i used to have it, made my life easier not needing to retype the device type and rom i was running when reporting issues.

wow
i see you people still reserve your passionate hatred for anybody who is just asking for some help
i would like to point out that:
A) youtube is supported natively using the mobile youtube service
B) occasionally, maybe its just a bit better to respond by suggesting or asking for more information, as opposed to just shouting back "You need to provide more information"...way to help

HHeee yyaawww HHEEEEYYYAAAWWW
i had to

try installing flash player
i once had a cooked rom that was playing youtube i (think) and i am pretty sure it was released by Hyperdragon look at his roms

Dude. Seriously?
This thread had died a spectacular death. And you, being a troll, dig it up and open old wounds.
You win first prize in silliness today

so about posting and searching on XDA...

As it turns out when I do a search for a topic the little search bar gives me EVERYTHING I dont need.. and NOTHING about what I do.. I understand that a lot of people just post new threads about the same crud but still, instead of just jumping down their throats take time to listen and tell them and, if you know, where to find the topic they are looking for .. perhaps with a link and a polite comment. Constantly saying "Did you use search?" is not helpful at all. AND answering their question with "This thread will be closed because another member already has a post like this" still doesn't answer the persons question. Imagine going to the airport and trying to find a flight, and when you ask a airport employee where the flight is they just say " someone already asked where that plane was and your question will be ignored thanks and next time use SEARCH" I am sure that would make you quite livid.. I am done ranting and I am sure the moderators will delete this before my head can turn away from the keyboard....

Sigh.... use this to search. I'm not even going to get into the rest...

Please post in the correct forum probably general i'm sure if you used the search you would have found a subject about search

*Sigh* Why do people find it so hard to use these forums properly?

as usual
lol of course someone would just want to tell me to use search. And the FAIL part is .. I DIDNT EVEN NEED ANYONES HELP just needed a few people to see this and agree with me.

just
close the thread already.. Im just frustrated with the lack of helpful community
and whats even funnier is that not ONE of you has asked me if I needed help. Just jumped on the bash train and ran my a** over

That's because this is a completely useless thread in a Development Forum. That's why we respond with disdain and contempt in our hearts.

actually its quite a helpful community but nobody is going to spoonfeed you. This thread should be closed it has little to no value, especially in the ROM thread.

LOL
My point to all this is, the people who use search are usually lost and instead of helping them you would rather just tell them what they already know. Which is why this thread was purposefully placed in the rom development section of XDA developers, so please, by all means, close this thread and be a human being for a change rather than a hate bot. All saying the same hateful and redundant thing....

This is a development community not a "Ooooo Get my phone unlocked for free" or a "make my phone neat and kewl" place. That is why the name is xda-developers. There is plenty of stuff already out there and the search button gives you plenty of info if all of the info at the wiki wasn't enough. It's just called looking a bit with the search button as in reading reading and more reading. Not doing so is just laziness. You don't just look at the first page of your search results. You go through them throughly.
....Where is Dave or kareem?

All well and good if this was the HTC funded 24 hour help line, but it is not, it is a developers forum.
Go to Execu-jet ( charter jet service ) and ask them when the next flight to Paris is . and they will tell you to go to the airport and ask the people whos job it is to help you .

again missing my point. Lost people need help right? and if SEARCH isn't giving the help then who the hell else can they turn to? You developers, hackers, and all around good folks... So stop being so darn cynical and hateful
I bid you good day sir...... I SAID GOOD DAY SIR....

While it's true this was not the proper forum for such a rant, I couldn't agree more with what the OP was saying. The resources on xda-dev are incredible and unparalleled but the attitude of many senior members and mods is arrogant and unhelpful. I try to use the search all the time, but when I find a thread that looks like it could contain the answer I seek, the f----ng thing is closed (without an answer) about a third of the time!
There's a simple solution to this BS, and most of us learned it in kindergarten. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Why waste your time with a "UTFS" (use the f----ng search) post when you could simply IGNORE it? If someone else WANTS to take the time to "spoon feed" the OP, WHAT'S THE HARM IN THAT? "Wasted space!" "Wasted bandwidth!" "Forum clutter!" - Well what do you think all those useless UTFS posts are?!
As for the heavy-handed mods closing threads at the drop of the hat, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME? If it's in the wrong forum (as this one is), MOVE IT. If you think it's redundant, post a link THEN close it - or just ignore it. Closed threads make no sense at all. If it's in violation of forum rules, DELETE it. Otherwise leave it alone and give it the CHANCE to be useful (at least to someone.)
I'll give a pefect example, right here in this particular forum. Try finding a good naked ROM for Kaiser. I mean truly naked - eOS FiRe is definitely NOT, but that's what gets recommended - just before such threads get closed by mods with the BS comment, "Plenty such ROMS out there. Thread closed." Really? Where? Good luck finding one via the search.

Your best search feature on this forum, is on the top bar.
Uses google feature to search XDA.

Ohh mickey, now you have showed him the magic keywords how to search for a naked ROM for Kaiser.
You know that now you have disclosed our trade secrets.
Punative actions will be taken for breeching the non-disclosure act
A search is only as good as the keywords you feed it.
eg. instead of "naked ROM" you could also use "vanilla ROM", or "clean ROM".
This thread is even more ridicules than my comments to Mickey my post, so I'll close it..

http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/

nice one cheers fella, i know exactly what you mean i know ppl ask the same questions over and over and some threads get trashed with rubbish and lead off to otheer directions, glad there is some helpful ppl out there and not all are ignorante, thanks again for being so helpful and thoughtful
steve
p.s. i did hear there was meant to be a release date for this month for the flash player but maybe its been rolled back til next year
cheers

i heard so it was supposed to be in the big eclair..but since the whole cyan thing with google and blah its just all rumors.. idk..i know some phones have it already..but also its Adobes issue with the flash 10 as well...so its still just workin out kinks..im not official on it but yuh just stay up on google and yuh.. also hit me on a private message ill hook u up with some cool info!

um im not sure.. honestly checc out the development forum.. and look for the recent CYAN KEEPIN YA LEGAL FOR LESS post.. it explains..i dont see why not but just make sure..

Yes those mean ignorant a$$holes here in the forums that never help and hijack threads after a question has been answered, shame on them. How dare we expect handholding and not love this post new thread even though chances are extremely high that the same dumb question as we are asking in a thread or 2 under ours. We think that nobody out of the thousands of other g1 members have ever encontered the same problems or have the same questions as exactly as we have them and when someone tells us to try using the search button as a response we get all uppity and mean and start getting like a 13 year old child.
Now that I said it from an absolute noob preseptive
Now from the other side
The search button is extremely usefull, if you can use google than you can use it, ask your question than add g1 or android also the month to filter down your results. Xda is a very large forum covering a wide range of devices. I have spent numerous hours on here helping answer repeated questions over and over and over again. You get to the point were you get annoyed. All the answers you ask are posted all over the place. If you have a real legiate question than the senior members here are more than likely to hop on it and honestly try to help with a great attidue.
Disclaimer: if you do not like the opinions of this user than you can go **** yourself. Thank you and goodnight

and i dont like how many noobs start off by saying DONT FLAME ME I SEARCHED! YOU WERE A NOOB TOO!!!
because i WILL flame them. i got to this point by research + reading
something that is no longer familiar to the interweb userz
its not like its very hard to learn. especially stupid things like "by wipe do you mean wipe?"
reverend glock (who ever that noob is) said it best
i feel for these people though cause some of them try, and when they show effort, im more than glad to help. but when someones here for hit and run answers.... i get angry
and you wouldnt want me angry..

For Once

For Once I would like to ask a question on XDA with out getting assaulted or given a dam Google link.
All i ask is that people start to consider the situation when someone asks a question instead of acting like a douchbag
I know for posting this I am probably going to get assaulted again myself for starting this thread or someone will post a smart remark of some sort but I'm ready to combat it.
I like XDA a lot I have learned a lot of thing on this forum I just ask you to be sincere when answering questions.

I hate the "use the search feature" how about don't waste your time typing that and give me the link
Sent from my NCC-74656!

wow i feel like im in the middle of the first internet newbie rebellion

Let´s say for example you have been on the forum for 6 years and you spend big amount of daily hours on XDA, and everyday for more than 6 years you find the same questions, same "I got an idea" to improve the site!, same "what is the best ROM?, same vote for Android or WM or WP7?, and so on...
Heres the question: How would you deal with that avoiding what you mention on your 1st post?
I am really curious about your answer
Thanks,
------------
True is that ppl don´t want to read and search, all they want is to get their stuff solved immediately, they don´t care about the work involved or any of that, they want it easy, and things are not always like that...

2. Repeat no.1
3. I can't emphasis more, repeat no. 1, even after you've already done it.
4. Cleanliness might be next to Godliness, but Politeness is the Prince of Getting-people-to-respond-without-getting-flamed
5. Remember no. 4
6. I can't emphasis more, remember no. 4, even after you've already remembered it.
While I cannot guarantee that you'll get an answer, you'll get a better response. Remember the golden rule:

Those are probably the best responses to that question I've heard in a long time
@DroidFreek:
The truth is, searching will get you an answer in the amount of time it takes you to ask the question ..let alone wait for an answer. And, IMHO, good searching does require some practice.. and from what I've heard practice makes perfect.
I consider myself a pretty helpful person but to be honest, I have no idea what I'm talking about half the time someone asks something, I simply copy and paste it into the search bar, and if needed, I'll modify the text a bit. But it really is that easy
I completely agree tho about some of the negative responses around the forum lately. As you can see in some of the replies in this thread, I don't understand why five people need to tell someone how idiotic they are for posting in the wrong sub-forum. I mean it seems like some members get sick to their stomach when spotting an out of place thread.

A guy walks in.........ok, he did not walk in, he was already there. One guy says, "I slept with my wife before we were married, did you?". The other guy says, "I don't know; what was her maiden name?".
People just want to be dicks, makes them feel better and somehow they think they gain the respect of the other trolls.

Thanks mates

Well, I do that because I have OCD. A moderate/mild case, but an OCD nonetheless. I hate it when I had to crawl through ten pages of carp to hit some modicum of gold, so I stopped looking. Like I did in the Oxygen thread. You get people like this:

But yeah, this thread helps clear the air

People are glad to help others who are willing to help themselves. Show that you've done your best to find the information you need yourself, tell us what you have already learned and ask the more experienced members to fill in the blanks.
When somebody posts that they need this, or need that without showing that they've made any effort at all, they will largely be ignored. It's far more rewarding to solve an issue yourself using the information available than to be handed it on a plate.

Why am i not surprised that senior members disagree with my statement but i have come to see that they are pretty much one minded/sided kind of like the republicans. In order to get into the real perspective put your self in the opposite persons shoes and see how it feels when you ask someone a simple question but instead you get a parsimonious answer. You probably wont come to light and acknowledge that your wrong sometimes because you are always right.
If you post something please don't post a picture like some kind of child, this is the real world grow up. Were all adults here and I feel I need an adult answer.

Senior members have been in your shoes. You just got your feelings hurt on te internetz....don't take any of it personal, because no one here knows you or is your friend. Plus opening a flame friendly thread such as this makes me have a sneaking suspicion that you may be a llama....
Scent phrum mie fone!

For things that aren't asked too much, people should give an answer other than "google" or "search." But when there are things that fall into one of these categories,
1.If there is a topic that states "READ FIRST FOR INFO", you should probably read it.
2.If it is a common question that is asked a lot. Now you most likely wouldn't know that it is a common question, but the search button is there for a reason.
3.When you're making the topic, it shows you a list of topics that have been made already like your topic.
I'm not saying that people shouldn't help you, but some people expect people to help them instead of researching the issue. For phones like these, you need to do some type of research. And if it is a problem you cannot figure out, you should first use the search button, and if you don't find anything then post a topic.

Yeesh - you know how many multiple posts of OMG MY PHONE IS BRICKED!!!111!!!10101010011111 I find on the Q&A posts and find out if they had just read the other 9 bajillion posts they would've saved themselves a lot of hassle?
Sorry.. but the Search feature is a very much highly under utilized function on forums.
The funny part is when you see two the IDENTICAL posts right on top of each other and you wonder... "Is his phone somehow different then my phone - is it self-aware?"

its the cowards like that who have something very valuable for free in their reach , but demand it getting handed over to them , and then b**ching about getting told to do it urself , nothing is enuff for some of them
u know there are sites that need subscription to access roms ? and they are just copycats ? these lowballers make me sick , being all sassy about something they get for free

@OP
I was a noob too when entered here so I have been in your shoes, have you tried to put on mine as explained on my 1st post on page one?

One Click Google Edition Conversion.

Ive been a member here for a while I usually read a lot of Dev posts(never find it necessary to ask questions as if you read through posts there usually answered) and have rooted and flashed of 6 different phones successfully.
the reason ive come out of the wood work is to ask we have so many awesome one click tools for the One why not a one click converter in stead of have to go to command line.. some thing that auto changes cid and device identifier, flashes boot-loader recovery rom etc?

I don't think that would be a good idea. Just because it is very dangerous to flash the bootloader and changing the MID is not that easy. It should not be 100% noob friendly. The commands are not that hard.

ive read your other thread, aren't you changing the cid and identifiers threw adb command line? what can go wrong with automating the process? also I have read some of the comments that other devs reply with which is no help. so why not solve it with a one click tool?
my opinion i guess. and yes stuff can go wrong that's why its worked out .

Rule:
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum(THIS is where your thread should have gone)
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to Kernels, Bootloaders, ROMs, etc. (I don't think your thread falls into this)
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post Themes and App. announcements & discussions including modifications made to Apps and Themes.

because, and I won't answer this again,
This process should only be undertaken by those who know what they are doing.

Personally I like to type in my commands so I can see whats going on (makes me feel like a sir) instead of just clicking a button and hoping that nothing goes wrong.

What's with all these "noobs" asking to be spoonfed lately? The conversion thread is filled with "omg can somebody make video tutorial" "how I change CID/MID", now this... These commands are actually very easy you just open a cmd prompt and type them in!!!

I emphasized the part where you messed up. Just in case you missed it.

I dont know when XDA became such a brutal place towards noobs, it was the wrong section. GET THE HELL OVER IT AND KEEP IT ON TOPIC!
In response to your question however, changing MID and CID are a bit device specific, and require editing of some files. Basically it would be too hard to do and potentially risky , so it'll have to be a command line job for you. Its not a massively hard process, but be careful, changing your MID and CID can cause issues, and break the possibility of using an RUU if they do not match!

The One is a very popular phone. It has brought many new people to xda. This includes a lot of people who don't understand that the spirit of xda is helping those who help themselves.
Having to answer the same questions over and over again will make almost anyone cranky, especially when these people resist being educated in how xda works.

No.
XDA was never a welcoming place for "noobs" and never will be. The information that the OP wants exists. He wants a quick and easy solution, something we don't believe in at XDA.
Check your attitude. If you aren't a developer on XDA, you are merely tolerated here. Don't make any mistake about it, this is a developer's forum, not an end-user's forum.
The sooner you realize that, the less offended you'll get.

I appreciate that, but it doesn't take 10 people to scream at someone every time they do something wrong, politeness doesn't cost anything, the question asked was a valid question, just placed in the wrong question. 10 people replying wrong section and not even making an effort to answer the question is my issue, the OP made a mistake, get over it and stop hounding people, I've been on XDA a few years and there's definitely a shift towards it being a lot less friendly place to be. I appreciate it gets annoying for people, especially developers, but the attitude of some members is just wrong

Perhaps you don't understand.
No one cares about the OP's question because both the question and the wrong forum placement send a message that goes against the XDA spirit. By answering his question, you are pandering to that attitude and you have become part of the problem.
The only people who need to get over it are the OP and (no offense) you.
I've been on XDA for quite a lot longer than you and I assure you it was always this way. The attitude of the developers is the same. However, the attitude of the new influx of users is incredibly different (clarification: self-entitled do-it-for-me douchebags).
I was on this place back when Windows Mobile 6 was the hot OS and the mods and community were just downright incredible. Nowadays, you have "developers" with build prop editing skills looking for donations and naive self-entitled users who will just eat up the ROMs as though they are amazing and wonderful and then we have all in one tools that take the process of root and unlocking away from a user, and all of this gives end users the idea that all it takes to get what they want is to ask or demand.
The day I sit here and allow XDA to be taken over by people like that is the day that pigs will fly. Maybe I'm being blunt, but it is what it is and if my posts bother you, you know where the ignore command is

Im not looking to start an argument, I respect that this forum was built around people like yourself, developers, to communicate their ideas and come up with new ideas, and for you more than others, constant requests get annoying and simply you'd rather be left alone to get on with more important things. THAT I understand. My problem is not with you or other developers because you are the heart of the forum. Just I think the attitude of some members is very anti noobs.
I guess the ideal solution is post moderation for all non developers, stops annoying threads, and also stops the hate. I dont see the issue with things being made simpler, I use one click methods not because I dont like command line or dont understand it, but for simplicity, maybe I'm just lazy but why do something in 20 minutes that you can do in 5?
