As many of you may know by now, Google rolled out the ability to play 1080p YouTube on 1080p Android devices. However, most Nexus 5s, and countless other 1080p phones don't have this functionality. It's seemingly random, but it isn't. Why, you ask?
Because ONLY Android versions 4.4.2 and L get this luxury. How do I know this? Well, I've tested this on almost half a dozen different Android phones.
Enabling 1080p (and 480p) playback in YouTube is frustratingly simple, and WORKS ON ALL 1080P ANDROID DEVICES WITH YOUTUBE v5.7+!!
So let's get into it! FYI, you need ROOT for this tweak:
First,
------ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BUILD.PROP BEFORE EDITING IT-----
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong on your phone. This is dead simple though, and if you create a backup there should be no problems
1: Open your build.prop file, and find this line:
"ro.build.version.release=x.x.x"
(With "x.x.x" being your current Android version number)
2: Then, replace that "x.x.x" with "4.4.2". The line should look exactly like this, (without quotes of course):
"ro.build.version.release=4.4.2"
3: Save, then reboot your phone.
4: Open up YouTube, play a 1080p video, and select 1080p from the resolution menu.
5: Profit
Note that this will make Settings and all other apps think you're on 4.4.2. However, your phone will still be on whatever version you started with (this isn't just gonna magically upgrade your OS XD). In order to revert back to stock (you must temporarily revert back to install OTAs), restore your build.prop backup or simply change "x.x.x" back to what it was before.

EDIT: So far, I've only posted this on here and the OnePlus forums (under the same username).
UPDATE: According to a couple people on the forums, Google has fixed the issue on their side so that you can see 1080p regardless of your Android version. Unfortunately, my only device now (the LG G3) is still on 4.4.2 so I can't test it. Also, I'll leave this guide up in case anyone still has issues

Very nice catch
Just to clarify, this is a Google issue? Reason I ask is that would explain why the G3 is beginning to get the 1440p option due to the screen but why haven't Google enabled their own phone? It makes no sense...
I get 1080p without messing with it lol.

4.4.4 isn't on the M8 yet (they say they've rolled the security updates into 4.4.3 but hmmmm) but on my Nexus 5 running 100% stock 4.4.4 I only get 720p (I don't root my phones any more so although this information is good it doesn't help me!)

Lol weird i wonder why not for 4.4.3/4 so if you want to use it without changing build.prop then you need an modded youtube app right? Nice thread btw i didnt knew about it since i was still using on kitkat the old youtube v4 app. Another thing to do when i have time is looking into the youtube app and maybe find some hidden stuff
I tried this on Mahdi ROM. It just makes the 1080p option show up in the settings, but I cannot switch to it.

This is a glitch on some ROMs (from my understanding you tap it but the bubble doesn't fill in?), but in my experience it does in fact play 1080p, just not fill in the selection in settings. It may be very difficult to notice the shift in resolution, but I'd try pausing on some text and changing it around. If it actually doesn't change, then I'm guessing it's a problem with the ROM (or even theme for CyanogenMod in some cases).

Except the S4 looks horrible and has the worst colors, looney tunes style. So it's either N4 with stock or HTC One with Sense 5, which feels and looks a lot like stock android. The Google version of the One will feel like a Nexus phone, obviously. I usually hate OEM skins, but Sense 5.0 I could definitely live with.

It looks awful in white because there are too many black parts. That's the issue I have with most phone manufacturers that aren't Nokia. They never go "all-in" with their phone designs. They just half-ass it, including Apple.

I have decided not to root my phone or flash any rom that has not been directly issued to my phone by Google. I'm still too happy with my device to mess around with that.
Therefore, I decided to create a thread for the people who are still using 4.4 because they haven't got the update yet. I'm in Malta... Anyone else?
What's better than the mutual anticipation for something new, right?
Sidenote: will the update fix Google Now not working on some devices?

Because it hasn't rolled out to everyone yet. Give it time if you don't want to sideload it.
I am on 4.4 and I could have done sideloading, but I don't care much. Been doing enough nightlies with i777 (ATT SGS2) until last month when it died. I like the pure G experience more than I thought (I thought I would go for CM11 immediately after I get N5 then Omni) and I see not much issue with 4.4. I don't use my phone to take a pic much - I have Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D for that.
I will get it when I get it. Who knows.. Google might have really started nightlies and 4.4.3 is around the corner.
Edit: Well, it looks like they have decided to give it to me just now.
I just got my 4.4.2 ota update yesterday. Chose not to sideload like I did for the 4.4.1 update. My N4 got the ota update on Mon night (it's stock, not rooted). To some degree, it's all just a crap shoot.

There are just different roll-out schedules. Let me put it this way, I was on custom recovery and rooted, and saw I had 4.4.2 update (was on 4.4). So not wanting to mess anything up I went complete stock, though when I rebooted I saw I no longer had it regardless of pressing the update button a million times. So I just ended up side loading it. The reason why it probably was not there, is probably this:
Why is clearing Google Services Framework data is a bad idea?:
There is a myth that has been around for a few years that clearing data in Google Services Framework will get you the OTA faster. Android Engineer Dan Morrill has taken to reddit to explain why NOT to do this and why the method I've described in this thread is the best way to get your update quickly.
Quote:
Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient. -Dan Morrill

I am assuming it was no longer valid for me because my ID changed when I wiped my phone. So with that being said, your choices are to either wait, or side load.
4.4 as well ..I'll get the update eventually. No rush here.

From the sheer number of posts showing problems with sideloading, I recommend waiting for the OTA update. Why risk so many issues and buggy software just to get an update a few days earlier?

common miss-conception.
sideload is just a different channel to put the damn OTA zip on your phone. there is no higher / lower rate of issues than getting the actual OTA, you will be in the same boat.
Got tired of waiting in Dallas yesterday. I know...patience is a virtue but no a strong point of mine. Wanted to check the camera out so I side loaded both updates early last night.

There are no problems with sideloading if one hasn't messed with their phone. Issues arise when one tries to sideload the OTA and they have modified files in /system.

while there are bug fixes, i highly doubt they'll patch the particular exploit that allows us to root, and if they do, Chainfire will find another exploit in a matter of days, specially since the kernel source is available, so you'll always be able to root, don't worry about that.
I took a plunge and I managed to root the device with ChainFire. Now to wait for the GS5 Playstore edition
I wonder if all of those S5 models will make the porting of the playstore version harder?
Also, what's up with all those versions? Are they baseband-related only (aside from the ones with different processors)?
So do you guys think it's worth switching over to ART now that it's an official thing in L release and the future of android for sure? I had researched this months ago but at the time many apps didn't work with it. Is it something worth giving a shot now? I actually saw an article posted from CNET mentioning about doing this even if you don't have the official release as it helps boost performance. Any risks from switching or is it just maybe some apps don't work and that's the worst that happens?
For me the pros of art outweighed the cons since day 1
The version of ART in kitkat isn't the same as the one in L. The one in kitkat was a developer preview so devs could get their apps working in it for the eventual full release. Currently it offers little to no bonuses, and at this point very few apps don't work with it.

How is it not the same? It's the way the system is using cache right? So it's either using dalvik or ART. It can be like half one, and half the other. So I don't think you're right about that. However, as you say I guess it still stands that many apps don't work with it yet. This being the reason I never switched. But I was thinking now that it's official, app makers will switch.
Anyone know of a list or anything that states apps that don't work with it?

ART, as far as I know, hasn't been updated since the kitkat release, and what we got was a sort of beta release. The basis of it is different from dalvik, yes, but the things that actually provide the bonuses are different in L. Sites ran tests when it came out and found minimal to no differences from dalvik. Plus, it's only been available on Qualcomm chips, which includes the Moto X, and Moto decided not to hide it. Outside of that and Nexus devices, im not sure what devices have it right now. My Nexus 10 can't choose ART (on stock ROM) because it runs on an Exynos chip. L will contain all the updates Google has been working on since the kitkat release and thats when you'll see a difference from dalvik. I've been on ART on my Moto X and N7 since then and cant notice a difference. And most apps work on it now. The ones that are more likely to not work are games.

I just have a habit of wanting to have "the latest and greatest," and since it didn't really break anything i decided "why not?" I'll probably end up flashing the preview build of L onto my N7 for that same reason, but i'm gonna give that a day or two to hear how much stuff is busted to see if it's worth it.
I haven't tried any games, but I agree to not seeing a difference.
The moto x runs much better than other devices I'm used to, so it's difficult for me to pinpoint any changes it made as opposed to using dalvik
I have noticed a massive difference on art
Ive noticed an improvement as well. Only downside is no xposed
Is the worst that can happen as a result of switching just app incompatibility?

Pretty much. Then just switch back.
Oh, and there is the longer boot the first time after switching from one to the other.
ART is really nice on the Moto X, but my complaint is the same as most folks when I use it - no Xposed compatibility. However, judging from the I/O keynote Wednesday, I don't think the dev has to do anything to make it work - Google is doing that for us on the backend when L releases in the fall. They made it clear that they're trying to make Android more developer-friendly, as indicated by the Android L preview released yesterday. There's lots of neat stuff coming, and we all get to be part of it. :good:
Just try it and see what you think. Don't like it, switch back. Asking people isn't helpful....some like it, some hate it....and some have no opinion.
But, personally.....an X without Gravity box wouldn't appeal to me.
---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------
And for me....Xposed will be a necessity on L...when its official, cause I think its butt ugly. Lol

Well the developer of xposed says it doesn't work ( http://www.androidauthority.com/android-art-switch-xposed-395098/) and in the xposed FAQ one if the questions is "why does my phone switch to dalvik when I enable xposed".
So I guess all I can say is congrats? I haven't personally tried to force the two together.

So I guess all I can say is congrats?

So I just realized I only have 9gb free when I believe I had like 16 before. Is that because of switching to ART? Its okay because I have the 32gb moto x but just curious.

Yes, ART uses more space on the device.
Runs so smooth, just got this phone free from sprint, S-OFF it, installed a GPE lollipop ROM and I am in LOVE. And I've had a lot of phones. Thank you XDA!

agreed, probably the smoothest gpe port ive used on the m7 and now m8. Props should go to captin throwback and digitalhigh and their respective teams on making such a wonderful rom.
Aside from the annoying voice-mail notification, this thing it tits.

What I've been doing is every few hours clearing the phone.apk cache. Goes away, come back in a couple hours, maybe the next day. What was causing the issue?

From what I've read its a voicemail that's been left on an old phone but still shows up I never got it on sense based Roms but as soon as I put aosp or gpe, voicemail consistently and I'm doing the easy pay which means I can't swap out to another phone leave a voicemail on it then delete it and switch back which should also clear it, thus my solution was to edit the smali in the apk and haven't had a problem since and since I'm not the only one with the issue I posted a fix for us unfortunate enough to have said issue. Annoying? Yes, but now its all good with the fix. It should work for any gpe and even cm(haven't tested yet)
Is your GPS working on GPE lollipop? I'm on HK edition.

Yeah if it isn't for you easiest method is to boot a sense based rom and open maps to get a lock on location then reboot immediately from there to gpe
Thank you this worked perfectly.
