[REQ] modded YouTube app so that it allows desktop videos and download

Sick of the app saying not available on mobile, so it would be cool if this was hacked or modded ... also would be good if an instant download button could be added for video file and MP3 file straight from the app

[Discussion] App Ideas

So I wasn't sure if this was the right place for this so if a mod needs to move it feel free and thanks ahead of time.
So my idea here is to make a list of realistic apps that Devs (perhaps new app creators) might make. Discuss the possible usage of the app and ways of making it work.
So I have 3 ideas:
1 - a way to send links to your comp from your phone without having an extension (instead have like a .net receiving server that will open it in your preferred web browser)
2 - Send page/link from phone (& if possible comp, but phone would be best) to tablet.
3 - a video catcher. When you stream a video it asks which app do you want to use to play it and instead of streaming you choose this app and download it.
(1 & 2 might be able to be combined)

I recently thought of another good idea
For the Facebook power user that has a lot of friends... a way to fetch all friends and there most recent post only and display them in a vertical linear timeline or alphabetical with "like" & "comment" button. And then you can click or hover over 1 friend and see their last 5 or 10 updates with the same buttons.
Also maybe a similar setup for G+, Twitter, or another social media.
Another big step would maybe be a merger of all 3 and if a friend is on more than one you could link them.....
Just an idea that I thought I'd share, I know I would love for this to be a reality as I'm sure others would too.

I like the video download/stream option application, it should be based on decoding flash and catching flv or mp4 (not youtube).

That's a good idea, just one Q. Do you mean catch from an embedded flash/HTML5 player?
I was talking about sites that below the embed have a mobile stream option or when you click a link and and it opens the "play with" option text.
Catch from an embedded format like flowplayer or MegaVideo would require the app to be an integrated browser/plugin and share the page to (or just an addon for like dolphin). If FF mobile worked the way it said yoi could just install a plugin like downthemall or something similar made for your PC/Unix machine and do it that way...
Thoughts?

Best Apps To Have

Every device on XDA has one so why not us, I also own the tombile version but hey its basically the same thing, so i thought i might as well bring it over to our side
I'm going to share some useful applications I have on my GS2.
1.Rotation Locker - It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Awesome app to have when playing temple run in landscape.
2. Rom ToolBox Pro - ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager, front changer, and etc. Basically your swiss army knife for a root user.
3. AdFree for Android - I hate annoying ads this app removes most ads in the browser and other apps.
4. MXPlayer - one of the best apps for viewing movies and online content if you dont want to use gallery.
5. ProPlayer Music Player - Awesome music player that support all music formats, built in EQ, allows you to change songs when phone in standby mode by just the volume button
6.Tweetcaster - Great App to use if you tried of twitter. other than that its a social networking app that needs no explanation
7. Amazon App Store - They offer a Free Paid App Of The Day (snag rom toolbox pro off of there this is a must have app) did i mention FREE PAID APP A DAY!!!!!
8. XDA App - No Explanation at all
9. Dolphin browser HD - To me Best web browser on the android market (Plz remember this is an opinion lol)
10. Audio Manager / hide it pro - If you have one of those girlfriends/wife that love going threw your phone (call log, sms, pictures.) This app is perfect for you. lets u hide pictures, videos, applications, messages, and calls in your phone in plain sight.
This is a community and we all have the same device so lets help each other out. If you want to know what's a good app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
*NOTE* If you know any unique or useful applications dont be selfish and keep it to yourself, please add them in this thread so I and others on this thread can check them out. Hey you never know who you may help or surprise on this thread

A couple ones I find useful:
Zarchiver - a file manager/explorer program. Makes extracting and keeping track of things a lot easier.
App Garden - Bunch of utilities in one. Calculator, unit conversions, dictionary, etc. Great value and space saver.

Also, not sure of this is really "useful", but if you're a fan of anime, I'd recommend you download Watchwhatanime. It's a free anime streaming app with an extremely wide selection, so you'll more than likely find whatever anime you're into. Especially good if you're into Naruto, Bleach or any other currently running anime that Crunchyroll holds out on. If you don't mind waiting an extra day, the latest episodes are available, as opposed to either waiting a week or paying for a crunchyroll subscription.

Nope. After I hid an app I'd go to the hidden apps section, highlight an app and select unhide but it never reappear in app drawer.

Have you seen the recently updated version? It's much easier. Just pick your anime, select the "episodes" tab, choose your episode and click a streaming link (options available for most of them are videoweed, video44, novamov) all streaming links for that episode contain the same episode. There's just multiple there in case one link is broken.

This. And I mean seriously, how long until these apps hit market? It's the most available platform. A cool app is a cool app on xda or store

But we already have tons of "what's your favorite app" threads. It would be interesting to discover new sous that aren't already on the okay store. But it's whatever. Do as you please everyone.

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories

Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.
Solid explorer

Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?
Cpu adjuster

Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.
Also worth checking out: servers ultimate.

Does this use the same YouTube API that Falcon Pro for Twitter just implemented into their app? The video player in Falcon and this floating player look awfully the same. Actually, they look exactly the same. The Kobe Bryant video is on Falcon, while the Samsung Galaxy Note II video is your player. I can even control the other video by pressing play on one. When I play the Kobe Bryant one, the Galaxy Note video by MKBHD in your player starts playing. You should check it out, just sayin...
Nice app though!
