Maybe the latest version of YouTube is not supported or completely unstable in the stock éclair ROM so I recommend you to search the Web for older version of YouTube in APK file format its totally free!
Because the latest version of YouTube app is needed the Google play services to run. That's maybe the point.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks if I helped you. Good luck

Youtube problem
Was this fixed? I also have the same problem. I'm using Sky Vega a820L (Korean Android phone), rooted, MIUI rom, and lately after updating my youtube app the thumbnails began not to show anymore and every time i open it it pops with the same error "there was a problem starting up. Please check your network connection and system time."
I have tried the following solutions (see below) but it never worked:
- clear cache
- clear data
- un-install/re-install app
- downloaded different versions (apk file)
please help! :crying::crying::crying:

Had the same problem on the stock version...
- tried to install Youtube for froyo !
- tried different time settings
- Changed DNS
I think the problem is relied to this version and Google servers. Because, sometimes without doing nothing, Youtube works again !!

We can say this issue is solved now :
if it's not relied to time (cause of certificate validity..) or connection problem.
Try to verify these things :
1- Check if you are using any firewall app witch may be blocking Youtube or some of google servers... Allow it
2- Like many mobile geeks, I'm sure you are using an Ad-blocking app like Adaway, disable it to restore original hosts status..
If it solved the issue,
You need to apply new filters again, and edit the hosts file that you can find in /system/etc
And remove any ads server relied to youtube or Google
Google sucks for this ! Good luck

[q] How to remove Google and Google+

Hi, I have one question about Google and Google+. How to remove the files in our custom rom before flashing the rom? Ya, we can delete it using root explorer but I love to know which apk/files contain the twos apks. Thank's.

Google+ isn't necessarily an apk in the gapps package so google+ won't be there in the custom ROMs and I'm not sure if Google Now is a thing that can be removed as it is an exclusive feature of Android 4.1+ . Not sure though. :|

afair Google Now gets active only after you log in to your Google account from Google Search, logging get out brings the Search back

He wants to disable google search, i don't see any way to do that except not flashing gapps at all which isn't desirable. I'd be glad if you can help him disable google search if possible.

If it is a TW ROM then just pull the apk's out of system/preload...

I guess it all depends on the ROM - I have two different devices, on one the Search is a system app (system/app/Velvet.apk), on other it was installed via Play market (data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk).
Generally if the apk resides in zip file, it can be removed before flashing (I usually clean ROMs from all apps I don't need on my PC using WinRar), the only problem could be finding name of the apk file to remove.

Yes you're right, the name of the app is where the problem resides as I did check the frameworks folder of the ROM. It's ROM specific isn't it, and tampering with an app like google search can surely cause some unforeseen errors too. I don't see any reason why google search has become such an undesirable app for the poster!

Not sure how it works for stock-based ROMs, on my N7000 I have Slimbean, which comes without Search - it can be installed from the Market separately if someone needs it

Slimbean has gapps of its own, customised for the ROM which are available on their site. The gapps on goo.im which are prescribed by some other ROMs come with the feature of google-search.

in this case it should be enough to remove "QuickSearchBox.apk" from the zip file before flashing

This removes Google search altogether or just the search box on the home screens which cannot be gotten away from the settings options in certain ROMs?

Not sure, the search box may be a separate widget, you could check with Root App Delete (enables/disables system apps)

I had google now and google plus and google maps deleted from system and installed as a normal app. Hibernated with greenify. App stays closed unless i start it myself.
Hope this way helps. So far i have no problem starting, using and hibernating these 3 apps.
Running on DXLSE deodexed rooted with philz kernel.

Thank you for all informations. It is PlusOne.apk for the Google+ and Messenger+ too. I left the Google Search for future need. Thank's a lot. :good::good::good:

[Q] I've no Social Life

I'm have problems with the social life app. It used to work fine but when I updated to FW to a Euro generic when ever I try to start the app it asks me to pick my language/country and gives me the T&C's , I accept but then I am sent to the Play store to download Sony Account Manager which it says isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas how to fix this ?

LOL can't stop laughing at your title.
Anyway, wipe the data settings / apps / social life / clear data. Do a reboot.
If that doesn't work uninstall social life, titanium backup may be needed to remove it.
Then go play store and download it again.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried this several times. Everytime I try to sign up I pick Sony Entertainment Network and it takes me to the Play Store to download Account Manager. I don't use/have a Facebook account. I am trying to think have I removed something from System/Apps that I shouldn't have done.

To my extent of knowledge, it may actually have something to do with that "Account Manager." I remember seeing that on my phone as well but I deleted also, since I do not use SEN.
your best way is to start fresh again if you dont know what you've deleted that may have caused this issue.
1-Back up all your internal files (whatsapp, data counter, messages, etc...) and sync whatever (calenders. task, notes etc...)
2-Repair it through Sony PCC or Sony Update Service, or Flash another FTF file and wipe everything.
3-Download all your apps again and restore them one by one.

Flash German .253 ftf. I had same problem, but the German firmware had this preloaded.

[Q] [HELP] Updating social Camera apps

Hi! First Sorry for my English, ill try to explain myself as best as I can.
I have my phone carrier locked, with Orange Spain, and the didnt released 4.3 yet, so I updated my phone to it changing build.prop and via Sus.
Everything works well, I flashed Centroeuropean 1. But when I tried to install Social Camera apps, I saw that only few were available. Not infoeye nor Defocus.
But Motiongraph and motionshot yes.
So I sideloaded the apks, and they are working, but I have some questions:
Werent all the apps ported to our phones, so the must be availabe in Sony select?
If a update is launched for the sideloaded apks, I will get a notification on update center?
I know that the update center works well, because I alredy updated the album with the new rom, but I have a doubt with the sideloaded apks. (btw, when installed, they requested the "Use update center to check for updates" permission)
Thanks to all!

No need to worry about the checks and controls etc.
You need to go to settings > Security and check box for unknown sources.
After that you can check here for some camera apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646031
Not all of them tho. Most of them can be found in the Play Store
Cheers.

Thanks!!
One last question please. My phone is carrier locked, I was only receiving my carrier's updates, and always late, because is Orange.
As I writed, now I installed European 1 stock rom 1272-3352. And I received a update for the album from the update center.This never happened before, because Orange never released an update for the phone, and they are already with the 4.1.2.
Does it mean that im going to receive future updates like a free bought phone? For example, if Sony releases 4.4 (I hope it) ill be able to update when they do the rollout for Europe, or I would stay until my carrier rolls?

Yes It will use the rom data you have installed

Thanks a lot for clearing all my doubts, I come from Samsung, wich was very simple to root and install custom roms, but with Sony and locked bootloader... I must start like from the begining...

Using Android Auto without Gapps

Hi!
I flashed LineageOS on my Huawei P9 lite.
I intend to use the Phone without Google Apps.
But Android Auto won't start without these Gapps, is there a way to make it work anyway?
bye

Probably only by using microG (Google services replacement) but now android auto isn't working with this.
Probably in future or if anyone here knows more than me and could try more.
