YouTube WONT open - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

YouTube appears to be broke on my phone. Which is weird because I haven't seen a single thread so far about this issue. It works fine on my mom's Moto X however.
Running Franco.kernel-r35 PA-4.1BETA 2
I tried wiping data and cache for the app, converting to system → user → system, uninstalled all together, tried the dog bone Version of YouTube too and that crashes too and downgrading to the version before the dog bone made it work.
Sooooo thinking maybe the latest update would work finally I updated it and boom back to square one. Does anyone have issues with the latest version of YouTube like I do?
I have seen similar reviews on Google play saying it won't open and force close before it starts up.

When you mean it wont install whats it giving you? Parsing error or just says could not install?
Make sure no other YouTube apps are installed (OBVIOUSLY)
Restart your device and try it again. I didn't have to do any changing permission modifications...just click and it installed simple as that.
Let me know what you get.

There is an Xposed module that hides the fact that you're rooted from apps that check, it's called RootCloak. I've never used it so I can't vouch for it, but I'd at least look into it.
Damn. I just tried the app, it's a no go

Sorry but I gotta ask, you do have Xposed Framework installed right? And you rebooted after installing the module?

Just search for it. You need Xposed Framework so find that xda thread. Once you've installed it, you can find RootCloak in the downloads section of the Xposed installer app.

Just switching the battery icon to a percentage indicator. BTW that's supposed to be the player controls and they still work but the background seems to be messed up

Try uninstalling the update and then reinstall google play music and did u use any app to make that battery mod?
I had this issue running Droidkang ROM and for some time the cataclysm ROM, it is ROM specific and is not produced by stock. I posted about it but there was no solution from anyone other than redoing everything which I did, and it did not help.

It is something to do with something that you have installed because mine did that until I got rid of my custom ROM/ kernel combination.

Just to make things sure, go to stock Jellybean using factory images. This will make sure that your OS is clean.
Then see if the problem still persists. I guess that changing ROMs has played a role in this.

So this rules out software issues.
I can't comment much on the dying part.
Can you check if the battery is loose? That can also be a reason for reboots.
Try a new battery or put some paper to keep it firm in place.

"Vnc connection failed.
Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1(port 5900).
Connect failed :ECONNREFUSED (connection refused)"
Plz help what can I do after that....

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Dunno then... Something must have gone wrong in setup if you've rebooted and still the same.
Or try a different image. The latest version definitely works. I checked it very recently. I didn't keep it though. It's no better than was 2 years ago really. Just not really useable. Maybe with a mouse if that's possible.

And does it support loop devices correctly? I would rule out kernel by switching to elementalx temporarily. That's because I know elementalx works but I don't know about linaro. If it works for you, you know Kernel needs tweaking. If not, you rule out kernel.
If still not working, delete all your downloaded scripts and uninstall the apps and start again from scratch.
