What devices are those and what android version. Is it working on the other device? Sweet font btw.

Hi,
this looks very good, but I have a feature request: could you disable rotation of the app when rotation is locked system-wide? In standard youtube, even if I lock the rotation to portrait and then turn my tablet to the side, the youtube app still rotates to landscape. This is super annoying when trying to watch videos lying in bed.
Thanks, and thanks for your hard work!

Yeah that drives me insane too. Unfortunately I can't or don't have the patience to fix this because it seems a possible fix is in source files, not resources. I appears the problem is related to the app going into fullscreen in landscape on a phone even when auto-rotate is disabled. I use the Set Orientation app and use landscape(sensor), which will force all apps into landscape or reverse landscape depending on which side you lie on.

This is awesomeness, now we just need the screen off playback and download video mods added in and it'll be the best YouTube mod apk yet

Exactly what I needed. I even gave up the other screen off mod because this is more important for me. Big thanks. :good:

Version 2
Hey Guys I made a new version with some improvements:
New unified thumbnails layout for all thumbnails
author,views, upload time on all thumbnails
Why title on bottom? To not cover the hot chick or dudes eyes of course! :silly:

Version 2
Version 2 uploaded. Op updated. Enjoy

Very nice work!! Samsung galaxy nexus, toro. Official pacman ROM thanks...

Very thoughtful! I have sent a tip to Android Police about your work. Let's hope their coverage (if they pick this up) can make Google take notice!

I hope so

Thanks for doing that. It would be great if Google does something similar to what I did so all people can have a better app. I wouldn't bet on it though since Google hasn't done anything for years. I cant be the only one who has these issues so are those people at YouTube just that dumb?
BTW should I remove version 1?

Hehe. Look closely. Of course I would not upload this without OsamaGahreeb's permission. I'll pm him and see what can be done.

I personally don't use OG's version due to the "Video not available" bug and in general the resolution selector tweak just feels broken. The best youtube downloader for me has been this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137743
But the idea of an all-in-one YouTube app with your interface tweaks and the integrated downloader is very tempting! If possible provide both versions (with and without OG's tweaks).

OsamaGahreeb's OGYouTube with my interface
Ok guys,
Here's a version of OsamaGareeb's OGYouTube with my interface changes applied. If you like the quality selector, download, and screen off playback features in Osama's app please go to his OGYouTube thread and show some love.
Install Instructions
Download the attached apk
Uninstall OGYouTube if you have it installed as a user app
Install the downloaded apk (make sure unknown sources is checked in settings > security)
If you only use download feature and could care less for screen off and quality selector I suggest you use this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137743 because OGYouTube still has a few bugs others have reported.
Enjoy

Is it possible to use note 7 AOD on S7?

As the title asks. I have tried pushing the files to the system, but I the note 7 AOD will not work as is with our phone. Anyone know how to get this working for us? be sure to make a back up of original before attempting.

a little insite on what I have tried.
I have tried just replacing the files in the necessary folder under /data/app using root Explorer, then restarting the phone. this method just makes AOD crash and does not work at all.
I then restored the original AOD, then tried to just install the updated apk. This obviously did not work, the updated apk wouldn't install since it's a system file.
next I removed the folder com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-1 then created a new folder with the same name and put the updated files into ita do restarted the phone. this did not work either. same result as the first attempt. then I installed the new apk normally then restarted the phone. same result as the first attempt, but this time there were two folders for AOD. there was com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-1 and com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-2.
i have made sure the permissions are set correctly but still cannot get this to work. any ideas?

I'd wait a little while. They'll probably update the AOD on the S7 after they launch the Note.

I'm pretty sure this version of AOD is dependent on the new version of TouchWiz

Maybe there are new updated AOD services on the Note, the lack of it maybe letting not it run on the S7...
I mean regardless we will get the update adding new features.(I hope xD b/c Samsung hasn't been listening to its customers lately)

we will more than likely get an update with the new AOD service, but the real question is when? With the note 7 being new I don't see us getting this any time soon. I hope I am wrong though.

Just a heads up that Samsung pushed an AOD update to my Verizon S7 last night. It gives me more options for the display configuration and adds an accent color option. It also shows current song and artist if using Samsung Music.

Awesome thank you. I'll give this a go when I get off of work.

So as soon as I got home and connected to my WiFi, the new aod we pushed to my phone from the Galaxy App Store.

Just found that AOD is set up for notification permission. Be sure to enable that and let me know if you notice any new notifications on the lock screen.

Fidme, it's not that great but beggers can't be chosers

Currency Converter like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xelnaga.exchanger

An app or widget that with the pressing of one button allowed for quick saving of GPS coordinates , allows for adding a title to the record, and shares it on Google maps or here maps.
This way whenever we walk into something interesting we want to check out again in the future we just press the button and the location is stored!

Fidme is not so good as Stocard. Stocard works on Android Wear but not Tizen S3. Fidme also does not work on Tizen.
Thanx anyway!

Fidme works on my Gear S3.... It's definitely not as good as Stocard but it's better than nothing. You have to install the Fidme for Gear as well as the companion app on your phone - Not just one.

I was wondering if there's an app available for the Gear S3 that automatically disables the WiFi and Bluetooth of the watch on certain moments or at least at night so I don't have to do it manually every night? That would be so great you know...

Thanx for the answer. It does work just as you said.

Thanks for your replies. I'm between of the about storing GPS cordinates and disabling connections overnight.
Two more questions :
1) With the Gear, can you reply FB messenger using the keyboard?
2)What about a theatre/cinema mode app ?

Like in android? If so, you cannot disable the screen in tizen. Complains are here https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/petition-to-add-screen-bezel-button-t3542558
So there is no way to actually implement android like theater mode in this but since screen is amoled true black, you can make an app that keeps the a full black window on top. I actually build this but it waste too much battery if you press buttons much and is too hacky, only works because tizen 2 is based on x11 (some internal api usage), meaning it wont work in tizen 3 so no way to put it in gear store. I'm thinking about open sourcing it soon.

Widget with Shortcut settings:
E.g: Turn off wifi, or Toggle AOD etc.

I just posted this as a separate inquiry:
Are there any vocal/verbal countdown timers, i.e. Speaks 60, 59, 58....
Occasionally I have a need to time something, like eye drops where hearing a countdown down by a voice would be helpful. Anyone know of such an app for the Gear S3?
Thanks in advance.

A good messanger app for Whatsapp,line and so on, like "Messages for Android Wear"

The two things I have been looking for with no success are a "Breathe" app like what is found on the Apple Watch. Also looking for a true weightlifting app with programs you can upload to the watch. The Gear S3 is so much better than AW, but is definitely lacking useful apps.

Yep, no need to go to settings, etc etc just to turn on AOD or Turn off Wifi.

What would be nice is an app that sends selected notifications as morse code with variable speed. It should also have filters so only certain apps and maybe senders result in morse vibrations. Also it would need to ensure notification get sequenced and maybe not happen if watch is not worn
---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------
And I Am still looking for a proper screen lock that can show a watch face but disable any tap, bezel or burn input until a combo is entered. That will allow wearing the s3 while sleeping etc

I would like to have app for diving depth meter.

Android O picture in picture not working

Just installed the Android O Beta and a playing YouTube video doesn't go into Picture in Picture mode when I return to the homescreen.
Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it, or has anyone just installed the O beta and has this working without a hitch?
Didn't work when I upgraded to the beta from 7.1.2, I have since tried a factory reset, and as far as the play store tells, there are no updates available to any app.

I installed the beta version of O today on my Pixel XL through Google beta program and picture in picture is not working for me either.
It's​ a reccurrent problem according to some reviews on YouTube.
I also heard that it currently only works with a YouTube red subscription...

This worked for me

Get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" from Play store, enter 171 as the keycode when you create an extra navigation button. I chose the screenshot icon as my PIP button. Works great.

Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.

Thanks, mcbeat—the default behaviour is that it's turned on for every compatible app though automatically. So, unfortunately, this doesn't help ?.

Yep not working here in the UK, what's the point in having PIP as a feature if it doesn't work properly - if it's bull**** to make me get YouTube Red - then it's not working, in fact if Google did that it would be a really **** move.

How get access to live wallpaper in s7 android 7:

Hi guys I searched forum and there's no any evidence how get access to live wallpaper in s7 android 7 samsung removed but you access by a third party app name is (live wallpaper shortcut) and it is free on play store and another app called (lwp manager pro) it was free and good and play decided to remove it I don't know why but I have the app and I can create a apk file if xda allow me to share don't worry it not a warez app but it was a was free pro app at first time if want to know.
ok hope this post help a lot and I have a special gift for christmas.
update: I find some evidence that might help my post check the link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347

If using Nova Launcher, Long press the homescreen > Wallpapers > scroll right to live wallpapers
Those live wallpaper shortcut apps are still available on the play store, no need to upload apks

I don't use nova I prefer original launcher and use a app to access live wallpapers (lwp manager pro removed from play store) or you can use (live wallpaper shortcut).
samsung get a little unkindness in android 7 I don't why but I I think in Android 8 will be add this I hope.
