is this youtube cab better then built in versin

The new version of the YouTube app is better in lots of ways. It adds the ability to actually use your account, so you've got your videos, subscriptions, faves etc., which was always an annoyance of the original version.
Unfortunately, they've made it look really crap. I really liked the way the original version looked, but the new one looks like a WM5 app. It's terrible!
Why they felt the need to redesign a decent designed app is beyond me. It just needed extra guts thrown in.
It's still worth it for the extra functionality.
Anyway, in answer to the OP (despite the fact that he's had links to cab files posted already), it says your device is unsupported if you visit the app page in Opera. If you use IE then it works.

Mainly because the built in app is made by HTC, while this newer version is made by Google. The HTC made version requests a higher quality versions of the videos from Youtube, thus the obvious visual differences.
Anyway it should replace the original HTC Youtube app in the start menu, but the old one is still there in the Windows directory, you just need to create a shortcut for it.

Thank God that it is, because after installing the new version, I'll stick with the old one.
Besides the lower resolution video already mentioned, the ugly UI, it also rotates the video in the wrong direction.
Sad that it can't have all the greatness of the HTC version plus the account features. That would be great!

cheers guys and yeh i was viewing it on my device lol but in opera

please, a little help...I have unistalled the google youtube but I cannot find the executable in windows folder to make a shortcut in order to have the preinstalled version of youtube on my HD2!

u just have to set the app to rotated, make sure that u are in landscape mode before clicking on a video, and it will be rotated in the right way.

Use Internet Explorer and it will download.
This app has a great interface, but video quality is shocking...I would advise against installing it.

I've found all sorts of things that annoy me with the shipped HTC youtube app that i wish could be fixed,
1, the quality isn't the quality you get from your desktop, the vids look much lower res on the phone.
2, If you pause and let the video buffer and it gets to the end then you've missed your chance to view the video and have to start over, why it can't just buffer then let you click back to the start is beyond me, this little fact had me pulling my hair out, either watch it play,buffer,play,buffer all the way through or waste your bandwidth limit redownloading the vid you just downloaded...priceless.

Facebook

I was woundering the Facebook app that came with the HTC is crap imo you can't see all the posts that people post on your status....
Anyone tell me why and advice me something else?
I also would like to know how?, I dont want change the original ROM.
thanks
Im afraid thats the best you will get for now unless you just use the facebook mobile or facebook touch site on your phone. Just save it as a favourite in the internet tab.
use m.facebook.com with your browser, so much better and easier!
Cool thanks, do you think they will update the windows one?

Yes there is a better one, if you download o!market free software program, once this is done then search for ' Official facebook app' this one is just like the PC version.
See Link : http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/omarket/
alot better thankyou!
Yeah I really was surprised when I received my HD2 on release day and it had the older version of Facebook. I was glad that HSPL was released the next day so I could have the newer version cooked in. I know that that there is the Cab but apps always work better when cooked in.
Thanks what do you mean by CAP?
Just use your web-browser and the full site? That's what I do at least.

[APP REQUEST] Social Centric Phonebook

Hello all,
I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.
I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.
To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.
I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.
So is there anything right now that could do the trick.
Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.
Many thanks
www.getaddressbook.com
does what you wwant, but its not perfect. Hopefully it will improve.
That's definitely a good start thanks. I see that the latest version has FB disabled though, I'm not a big user but most of my contacts will be from there so I'm pondering a bit on whether I'll wait or install right away

Are you sure? This appears to be the same version I used to use... You have to install the 'mix-ins' seperately comprende? Or did you do that and it still didn't work? If you want, you can ***** at the dev here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623851

Looking for Youtube latest cab (With user login)

Hi Guys. Sorry if this post is repeated but I just couldn't find any post on this.
Initially, i had a rom which has the youtube with user login. After cooking another rom, it goes back to the stock youtube (Ver 2.6 build 1922.4122). Thing is, i am liking the current rom i'm using.
Issit possible to get that particular youtube cab w user login? Thanks in advance guys!
had no idea it was out. would like it
yups yups. bump!
Did some fondling on the HD2. Currently the device had the stock youtube. What i did was i download the generic version (from m.youtube/app) and save and installed the cab on storage card. It seems that i have both stock youtube (the 2.6 for hd2) and the 2.4.4 version. (download from youtube direct) Do take note that the latter have the username function.
Unless there is another alternative (like the one i initially requested) i hope this helps. Sorry if this repeats any thread. thanks.

Okay the new version is nice but what happened to the HD option? For some reason this replaced my original YouTube. Not cool. Not digging this version.

Yeah, just realized that this version doesn't have high quality playback myself. That really sucks. Really was looking forward to this version since it allowed access to subscriptions...
Thats weird. I have my stock youtube (2.6) running as well as the generic version (2.4) (w/o hd but w/ login) which i installed it in storage card, so it didnt replace anything.
Like said, unless, someone had seen the cab which has the user login meant for HD2, i believe i can only recommend such.. i do apologise if it doesn't work as you've intended. It certainly is working on mine.

[APP]SnapPea, probably the best Android PC manager*Updated 10/23*

2014/10/23 official beta version is now on www.snappea.com/windows :good:
We've fixed most bugs you guys mentioned in the comments (thanks for that!), and we're gathering feature requests now, please feel free to request!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys,
I'm from SnapPea, an Android PC manager. We first made SnapPea back in 2012, it was not a huge success. But we've made tremendous changes and improvements now. The new SnapPea is still under development, but we'd love to hear feedback from geeky (and sometimes mean) Android users here at XDA. And we are willing to give away a $50 amazon gift card for the one who finds out the most bugs - this is not a reward for contest, this is a truly Thank You for helping us.
Ok, cut the crap. Let me show you some numbers! We've compared SnapPea with another PC manager - MoboGenie which seems to be very popular recently, and as you know, we outperformed it, of course
Package size
The package size for SnapPea is only 4.5MB
The package size for Mobogenie is 30.4MB
Installation time
It takes only 2.94s to install SnapPea on your PC (here is a video to prove)
It takes 6.87s to install Mobogenie
Photo loading time (tested on a phone with 2000+ photos)
SnapPea takes 1.25s to load pictures
Mobogenie takes 8.16s
×a word here: we have made improvement to the logic of content loading, which means the photos won't be necessarily loading from the top to the bottom, instead, we load where your eyes are at first
Contacts loading time (tested on a phone with 3000+ contacts)
SnapPea takes 1.48s to load pictures
Mobogenie takes 57.75s
Memory usage
SnapPea uses only 70MB when in use and 24.7MB when not
Mobogenie uses up to 146MB when in use and 70MB when not
As windows users, you must know how it sucks when some software takes too much memory...
Enough for the numbers (sorry, can't help, too proud), if you do not know what a PC manager is. Here what it does:
Manage your contacts - import, export, edit, grouping etc
Text messages - send sms on PC
Manage your apps - install apks, will add export later
Manage your photos - import, export, delete, set as wallpaper etc
SD card manager - we have beautiful SD card manager interface!!!
Music&Video - import and export
Anyway, we understand that it is far from PERFECT, but we are willing to make it PERFECT. So if you're willing to help or simply criticize, you have all our ears. Bugs, wrong spellings, feature requests, anything is welcome! And we will answer EVERY question here and take EVERY suggestion seriously.
2014/10/23 official beta version is now on www.snappea.com/windows !
2014/10/09 new beta version updated SnapPea_3.0.1.757

2014/9/25 update
I made this crappy little video... (please forgive my desktop) to show you that how SnapPea outperformed Mobogenie in installing and content loading Enjoy!
Thanks, sincerely.
Dear Snappea Dev,
I've been using snappea since the start of 2013 and I've always been (almost 100%) satisfied. I'do sure want to test your betá version, but I am not great at finding bugs. Anyways, I wanted to say thank you for this application and I wish you and your team goodluck and happiness. I will subscribe to this thread to keep myself updated...
Well, enough said. Time to install now... :victory:
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
~ Sam

Hi Sam, I'm sorry I forgot to mention that if you've already installed SnapPea on your PC, you will have to uninstall it first then install the beta version sorry about that!
Thanks SnapPea dev. I'm a big fan of your software. It's really cool.
I'm a Android developer. I'd love to use SnapPea to get the phone screenshots , and to install the apk file to the phone. Of course I can use adb to do the same thing, but SnapPea is really beautiful and fast, I dont want to use the DOS console anymore LOL.
Sorry I'm not good at find bugs. May I ask for a new feature that can uninstall the system apk on my rooted phone?

Hi Cowboy, of course you can. And I've added this to our feature request lists, will make sure to take it into consideration :fingers-crossed:
Dear SnapPea dev,
I think I found a bug. I have changed my luanguage in the settings sections, but it still gives me (chinese?) characters...
And the music section does not display my music very well, and it won't stream any music
Anyways.. It has a nice and clean UI, I really like that. Photo's sync very well and fast!
Have a nice day.

For some reason I cannot install APK-files using SnapPea... Could that be because I am on KitKat?
Hi
I should say i love this app and using it as my primary program for my work.. I used your app for about 1 year and still using it without any issue.
I just installed and used the beta version but just noticed that it has less functionality than the version 2.7 and also there is some bugs i found.
First one is the big one.. It cant even install apk files. Second one is, it cant show the device screen to capture screenshots like previous version.
there's so much it doesn't have compared to the latest stable version.
My main reason for this post is that i have a request for your team to make a new feature to the this very cool program.
My request is a simple drag n drop to install apk's and import photo & music & videos. it will save me SO MUCH time and makes using the app so much easy and enjoyable. also boosts the jobs i do with this program.
Thank you and wish you guys all the best

Hi Sam, thanks for testing out the new SnapPea! I'm gonna mark these down as 3 bugs you found:good::good:
So,
Language appears in Chinese
Noted! We have uploaded these strings for translation, will be ready very soon
Music section doesn't display well, can't stream
1) I will need a screenshot of the display issue, you mean the format or layout or something else?
2) Does SnapPea fail to stream any song or just a few? Because we use Windows Media Player, if the music format is not supported by WMP, SnapPea can't stream it either...
Can't install apk
Can you be more specific? Did the install fail? What was the error message? A screenshot will help too:victory:
Thanks thanks thanks you are awesome

Hi DanteMayCryM, thanks :good: I'll mark 2 bugs and 1 feature request down for you
Can't install apk files
Seems like you have the same issue as Sam. Hmm.. there actually can be various reasons for this, such as if the file transfer was successful, or if SnapPea has the permission to install apks. You can try use the SD card manager to see if you can import of export files using SD card manager (which supports drag-and drop!!!)?
Doesn't show device screen
Actually I just used to SnapPea to take a screenshot, so I'm sure what went wrong here.. Did you make sure that your phone screen is on? Otherwise SnapPea will show only a black screen. It would be great if you can provide me more information here
Drag-and-drop
We actually received this feature request a lot of times, we didn't have the time and manpower to do it for the PIM tools (photos, videos &music), but drag-and-drop now works in SD card manager. The new SD card manager is so much better than the last one Anyway, we will try to add this feature very soon, ok?
Don't forget to get me the screenshots!

The player won't load [all] tags, says the song is only 00:00 long etc (look at screen#1)
Also, it gets stuck at loading the songs. Even the correct loaded ones.
Snappea loads the APK, sets to install and immediatly says it couldnt install, and after a second or 2 is force closes (screen#2)
Hope I could help!

Screen#2
I'm willing to give a this a go on my home pc to manage my android devices. I have a few questions tho.
Is it possible to backup messages? And import afterwards? Same for contacts? And apps? Sorry I haven't installed yet, if these features (or some) aren't implemented, are you guys considering it ?
And then, I'd like to help (besides bug finding) with translations. Do you need translations? I can do for Portuguese (PT-Pt).
Let me know
Thanks guys, great app, I wish you all the best of luck! Mobogenie for me is a bit of adaware/spyware thing, many times it downloads itself from a few websites, IMO, this is a shi*ty behaviour. So I hardly consider it a decent manager :b

Hi MidnightDevil (cool name!),
Yes yes yes we can backup messages! To be more specifically, our back&restore feature is still under development, but you can use SnapPea to export/import contacts and messages, can't do apps at the moment, but it is definitely a must-do!
We actually do provide Portuguese version You can change the language in the settings! But we used a translation company to do that, I'm sure they're not all correct, if you can spot some mis-spellings or wrong translations, do let me know! :highfive:

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of spotify!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and i agree that there must be a reason to purchase premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here is my solution.
this mod has been created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use spotify the way it was meant to be used.
current version: 1.9.0.1273
download: https://mega.co.nz/#!obbxftjy
key: onwk2v-q6329md_ctll5ogtqdneisuc7robrp-wkotq
known issues: Facebook login does not work.
Update requests are kindly accepted as i never follow them myself.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.
Server is down

I've downloaded the apk for mega, and also tried to access the website. But it refuses to open the website or allow me to login to the app. Hence the servers are actually down. Op if possible can u post it on a different cloud?. Thank you for this amazingly brilliant apk!

Op u can as well check again, it's no longer a news that mega is down for now. You see people testifying. You can check up urself
@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.
Works like a charm, thank you
Logged-in with facebook, why does the op state it's not working
