Hi.
I have been searching the forums and the web all day for this, so please don't kill me if I've missed another tread about this!
I love my Galaxy Tab, but i hate the youtube app that comes with it. Even in "HQ" the videos are really blurry.
I have found several sites talking about YoutubeHD.apk and downloaded it from 3 different locations. Tried to install it via Astro, but I always get "did not install".
Have anyone managed to get this to work on the Galaxy tab?
Thank you in advance.
Try this, I haven't tried it.
Back up the Youtube.apk in System/Apps. Rename your new apk to Youtube.apk and copy it in to system/apps. Reboot.
If it doesn't work copy the original Youtube.apk back into its original location (system/apps)... then ask someone who knows more than me.
Thanks for the tips, but I only get "insufficient permission" when I try to move/change the name of the original file with Astro.
Any way to avoid this?
Files probably read only.
Do you even have root access?

did you go into applications and check the one to allow non trusted apps. it blocks any install that aren't from the market unless you check that box. I'm guessing you did but I just wanted to make sure you didn't miss something small and bang your head for too long.
Indeed, you will need root access and a root file explorer. I use 'Root Explorer'. Before doing this, go to Settings > Applications > Check 'Unknown Sources' box.
If you aren't rooted / do not want to root, post a link to the .apk and I will try it for you.
Not sure if the videos are in HD or not, but I use an app called TubeMate.
Go to the Android Market, and search for TubeMate. It allows for viewing and archiving of any YouTube videos in the same browser.
All the videos I've watched and archived using this app has been of great quality, not blurry at all.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I have root access, and have tried renaming the file in Root explorer(get a "read only" message).
I have also checked the "allow non trusted apps" box.
Heres the link to the APK:
mediafire.com/file/zzz1ktzy2nl/YouTubeHD.apk
If anyone with a little more knowledge about Android could try this it would be great.
I wish I could help ya but I haven't experienced this problem....all the HQ videos from you tube look great on my tab?
Ins0: Look at the pictures in this post:

Is your youtube app really as crisp as the tubedroid video there?
Try to download a HD version of a file, and then stream the same file. You will see a HUGE difference.
In almost all the forum posts I have found around people mix HQ with HD(and they are happy with HQ), maybe I'm just to much of a perfectionist...
There is a new Youtube app on the Android market.
I have updated, and it is actually a little better, but still not even close to the quality I get when downloading the same file in HD from jetVD.
Have anyone else tried the HD apk i linked to?

I think jet vd is the best and you can even download youtube on tab

JetVD is great, but as far as I know it's not possible to sign in to your own youtube account? I use youtube mostly because of my subscriptions. Still nobody tried the APK i linked to earlier?

just tried it. same crappy quality.
If you use youtube mobile in your stock browser you will get perfect and smooth 720p quality.
I've searched forums and the market.
Im looking for an app that will allow me to specify an application to launch on startup.
So, boot the phone, home screen arrives, app launches (in this case Browser).
If no app is available id be happy with a script or something as my device is rooted. just need a means of auto-opening.
Suggestions?
Many thanks!
Anyone? =/
Tasker will do it, ull find it ob the market, its not free but on the devs homepage u can download a 7 days trial

Hi,
Does anybody know of an app that can show me a report-like interface of permissions being used by all applications? And a way to restrict them, after they have been installed?
I think this is what you want, it is called "S2 Permission Checker" and it lists all the permissions of all the apps installed on your phone.
Hasn't got very nice reviews, though. Comments say it makes mistakes, and I can't stop an app if it's doing something illegal - from the same app that is.
Well I used for a while and everything was ok. Anyway you can install it see all the permissions you want to see and then remove it.

My dad has an old MLB app but its not on the play store anymore. This was a FREE app so I'm not trying to steal. Usually with rooted I'd just go into root explorer and copy the .apk. But obviously I can't do that on a rooted phone.

I dont remember if its free or not, but there is an app called, "app control"
You open app control, find the app and long press on it. You can use this to back up the app to gmail, and send it to your self.
thank your for your response. I found out ES File Explorer works as well.

If it's a 4.0+ device you can use Carbon to backup the app and data. This app does not require root access.

Just out of curiosity, why are you looking for an old mlb app? Why not just use This one?

It was MLB Scoreboard. Provides highlight videos for the games.
Want to share file with your laptop wirelessly? i found the answer, just download samba fileshare from google playstore and connect your phone and pc on the same network, then you can transfer your files wirelessly. you can see how to do it on playstore. It requires ROOT Access.
Airdroid
Another way to do that is Airdroid, even though I never tried the app you mentioned it sounds like it would work just the same way. Plus it does not require root access as far as I remember.

Bump (App)
Bump also works pretty well. There is a website you go to on your computer over the same network to share files with your phone.
I use Airdroid.
There is already a thread for discussing various apps...including file transfer apps. It is Here.
Thanks!
