[Q] Theme engine and YouTube issues. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Bliss Pop with Franco Kernel. When I apply a theme it does not theme the notification drawer. It used to, but not anymore, and I'm not sure why. I haven't made any changes.
Also, on YouTube, when I watch a video the audio and video will stutter on occasion. This started recently, and I have not changed anything.
Any ideas?

[Q] Media Playback/Codec Problem

What happens:
The phone refuses to play most media types, refusing to play songs, movies etc that had played without issue previously.
Music:
The stock touchwiz music player refuses to play mp3s, cycling through the playlist attempting several songs before exiting back to the list, displaying the error message "Sorry the player does not support this type of audio file". The same message is given when trying to use Fede's music app (fedecarnale's wp7 style music player)...
Video:
The video player gives the message "Sorry, this video cannot be played." while an alternative app QQ player plays the media without problems. Another example is the youtube app which gives "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry".
When does it happen:
This problem presents on both my Captivate and my girlfriends Vibrant after a non specific amount of time. One the problem presents, it remains regardless of memory or cache clearing, app closing etc.
What fixes it (temporarily):
As soon as one of these errors is given, the other apps behave the same way, and a reboot fixes the issue temporarily.
So I don't know enough about how the phone works to sort out the common cause of it all... but I can give you any information you want if it will help you sort it out... I realize that the difference between QQ and video player must be different than between fede's and the music player... I gather that he must be using more of the same stuff whereas QQ might bring its own codecs or whatnot... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
tldr:
I'm having media/codec issues with my SGS on froyo, have you heard of the problem? any ways to fix it?
I used to have this same issue when I was running Doc's XWJS8 Froyo rom with Hardcore Speedmod K13E Kernel. Since I switched to Simply Honey 3.5 Gingerbread it hasn't been a problem
I have this issue on stock Gingerbread ROM from Samsung (JPO). I didn't find a cure for it.
customer support was useless as anticipated, they suggested that it could be a corrupt app and I should factory reset... that is always their recommendation...
its just unusual that both my girlfriend and I would have it on different phones, different carriers and with a different set of apps...
The only real apps that we share in common shouldn't be going anywhere near media such as launcher pro and some games...
Well I was reading on another forum that Twitter for android seemed to be causing media files not to be read. More than one user reported no further problems when they uninstalled the twitter app and started using something different.
So it could be an app not playing well.

I have an AT&T Captivate with Froyo and I get the same issue. It is exactly as described here.
My phone has the froyo you install from Kies Mini.
Model number :SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband Version I897UCKB1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
I will try uninstalling my Twitter app and see.
The annoying part of this bug is that when i have a custom ringtone based on an MP3, it would not play so I would miss calls. I hope uninstalling the Twitter app fixes it. I'll reply back with it after a day.
This issue happens to me after about a day from restarting my phone (on/off)
I've gone a full day so far and my media still works.
I guess it is the twitter app?
Edit: yes it is the Official Twitter app causing this issue for me.
After uninstalling 2 days ago, I have not experienced this issue.

[Q] Modded Youtube apk?

Hello. I was wondering if theres a modded Youtube.apk (for ICS) that allows you to turn-off the screen while watching a video, without stopping the playback. I remember that you could do that at earlier builds of youtube, but they changed their policy, because youtube was meant for 'videos'... Also, I thought of another thing that could be cool-playing youtube videos at backround (for example, starting a music video playback on youtube, and pressing the home button without it stopping it).
Sorry if I posted it in the wrong forum.
Thanks!
I also can't seem to find one. Only thing I know is that the youtube apk 2.1.6 works like that, but it won't work with ICS...

[FIX] [Android 5.0 Preview LPX13D] Green/purple video in browser (chrome)

I just thought i would share with you guys a fix i have been looking in to since installing the new LPX13D preview a few days ago.
Quit a lot of videos that are viewed inside of browsers try to use the vp9 codec, and by the look of things it is not yet fully supported (both in chrome and the android /framework itself).
I have spent hours of my time trying to figure this out, simply because it was just bugging me. I could have easily just watched the video in the YouTube app itself which seems to work just fine.
This fix is assuming that you use the chrome browser on your device.
Open up the browser and type in to the address bar chrome://flags
Next, find the option "Disable media source API" and press enable so it now says disable.
Now find the option for "Enable GPU rasterization" and set it to "Force-enabled for all layers"
That's it, now you can watch and enjoy your videos without the green/purple tint overlaying them.
Thanks! It worked like a charm
Awesome. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
permanent fix
Is there anyway that there is a more permanent fix for this. I am on CyanogenMod 12 nightlies and I still have that problem...
Thank you so much for this fix! Too bad this does not work inside feedly where I still get the pink tint in embedded videos

Random Dark Grey Screen on CM12.1

Anyone else having this issue? There doesn't doesn't seem to be any method to the madness; it happens fairly randomly.
It's happened while:
-listening to music with stock CM12.1 music player
-using stock browser
-using Chrome browser
-watching video on YouTube app
It's almost as if the screen turns off, but it's still on. No status bar, no navigation keys. If it happens while listening to music or using YouTube, audio skips for a moment but keeps going.

This happens on the LG G-Pad 8.3, too (CM12/CM12.1 based and AOSP 5.1.1*)
haven't observed this on the Note 3 yet
Could be either a regression, issue originating in Android 5.1.1 (or 5.1) or something introduced by CM12* and backported to AOSP 5.1.1 ROMs
I suspect it's either related to Adreno drivers or Qualcomm stuff (G-Pad also has Adreno & Qualcomm parts according to http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_(2nd_gen)-6647.php )
since a CM11-based kernel runs fine, so it must be something in sauce (kernel sources)
