Is it possible to keep YouTube playing in the background while I another stuff? I was listening to an audio podcast on YouTube and decided to send an sms as soon as I press back or the long press home button to change apps, the audio ceases..
Is this a bug or is there some workaround?
Thanks
anyone?

I believe this behavior of the app is by design. It stops playback when it's not in the foreground.
Not sure you can do anything about it.
At least the new app doesn't stop playback when you press power button

how is it that iOS even has a tweak to keep stock youtube app running in the background and Android doesn't!?!
Because someone that wrote YouTube for Android decided that he doesn't want this app to run in the background, and doesn't want to give the option for that either.
What to do? Use the unofficial apps, I guess. They work.
works on my nook and Optimus

Try this App: Youtube Keep Alive
You can find it at Google Play.
Okay so I just found some cool new apps that work on Vegan GTAB5.1.1...
task manager
improved performing gallery3d
launcher2 with wallpapers fitting entire screen...not zoomed
app center ( for market )
screen shots below....
3D Home is another home launcher app but in 3d...
video player app is also different and now all videos fill the screen. HD video plays smooth now and is in sync. This only launches from the 3d home app
programs app is in 3d and only launches from the 3d home
Never got the 3d launcher you show in the picture. Launcher apk didn't have any kind of options to edit either. Looked cool in the pics, sticking with launcher pro for now.
Do we need to move the .apk's to system/app then change permissions for this to work?
Can't wait to try these out when I get off work.

I believe it was launcher2.apk for 3Dhome. It states that it is 3d home when you install it. Simply place these apk's on your sdcard and install with file explorer of your choice. The 3d home doesn't allow additional widgets just launches the better apps. The other home launcher allows for full widget support and full screen wallpaper. No forced zooming on your wallpaper after you select it.
This is a neet launcher. Thanks. You were right, I loaded the ilauncher.apk. I just converted my sealab 2021 DVD to flv so I could take some laughs on the road this week. So fare the video looks great and no weird sync issues. Very cool. Just wish now I could use the movie player outside this launcher, its snazzy but I always(after a few weeks) end up back with LP.
Thanks again
Can't get it working

You have to install all of the apks that are associated with the 3dhome.
programs.apk, shuttlevideoplayer.apk, gallery3d.apk. The only widgets that work on the 3dhome are the two that came with it. Weather and news.
What to search for in market?

I tried searching for it on my EVO since i have a better market on it, and cant find what I'm searching for.... I got the 3dhome to come up and the gallery, video, mail, internet and settings work but not the programs or music.... which one of the downloads in this post is for the programs and music?

I was able to get it installed but the only problem I have, is the music icon isn't associated with anything. So whenever depressed nothing happens. Do you have any idea what is wrong? Also this is by far one of the best docks that I've seen to date. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
on 3d launcher cant get widgets on home screen
anyone figure it out??
I have tried the 3D launcher in the past, but due to complications, and not linking and customization available, it wasn't for me.......too bad though it was different!
Hello All,
Since a while, whenever I click a video located on a website or even Facebook app I am redirected to youtube http website, when i click the video it is downloaded to my device and then i can watch it on the device media player.
What I used to was whenever i click on a video the YouTube app runs automatically and plays the video but i am not sure how to restore this, any ideas ?

You need to try clearing the default actions of all your gallery apps or apps you think are related in settings --> apps
You will not lose data if you select 'clear defaults'

Most of the related apps have the "clear defaults" option dimmed :S

Then they don't have default actions set

Hey,
i have the Nokia 8 with pure android and i got that feeling that there are some "secret" apps. For example in Spotify there is an option called equalizer. and when i do some cool changes there it does not only affect Spotify but all sounds. On my old phone with Lineage OS there was an stand alone equalizer app installed and when i open the Spotify equalizer option this app was opened. So i wonder if the stock android has an on board equalizer, too and how would i open it without Spotify?
Another "secret" app is the weather app from google. I have that google widget on the homescreen that tells me what date it is and if there is anything in my calendar for today (hopefully it will do that i added it today and there where no entry for today) And somewhen (don't know why) there was in addition weather information and when i clicked on it it opened a google weather app. But i cannot find that app from the app drawer.
Hopefully some of you can help me with those apps. I'm absolutely new to pure android. Before the android versions were always modified by HTC or Lineage,...
You can download shortcut for equalizer in Google Play store. I think the same with weather app
Things used to be fine. Save video to phone. In the notification menu on top of screen after download is done. Tap one to open. It’d open and play. Not anymore. I installed an rar app and archive app. Every time I tap vids to open it would pop up a list of those apps to use. Once or always open. So I uninstalled them. Now it just opens the files app or downloads app. I never had any issue before. How do I fix this? I looked at settings for chrome and it seems ok for how to deal with media. Not sure though.
Thanks.
What file extension is the video?
Which app was launching to play the video when things were working?
In settings>>apps>>default apps is anything shown for video?
Try resetting app preferences in settings>>system>>reset app preferences
Thanks. They’re mp4. I don’t know. The default video app on the pixel 4 xl was used but I don’t know. Reset app prefs is a good first step. Didn’t think of that. Hmm.
