Guide to get 1440p working (root needed):
1. Wipe YouTube app
2. Uninstall YouTube app
3. Open file explorer that has root permission (i.e. es file explorer)
4. Navigate to /system/ (Make sure it's mounted as r/w)
5. Open build.prop
6. Change the line at ro.build.version.release=4.4.4 to ro.build.version.release=5.0 and save
7. Reboot device
8. Download and install this YouTube version https://www.dropbox.com/s/vm9ncnzyy7g94pf/com.google.android.youtube-5.10.1.5.apk?dl=0
9. Go to the play store and disable automatic updating of the YouTube app
10. Open YouTube app and select a video that supports 1440p
11. Pause the video and change the quality to 1440p
12. Close the video (just the video, not the app)
13. Select the video again
14. Enjoy
I've made this guide as thorough and fool proof as possible. The last few steps are optional and not always necessary, occasionally the setting for 1440p doesn't like to stick. A quick way to check if it took is if the load bar resets, if it does you don't need to close the video and reopen it.
Thanks. This worked for me

I don't think this works, I can see other options but it is always at 720

I did but even if I select 1440P the video looks like is lower quality like 720, I downloaded a 1440P video from the app Tube mate and then tried to watch the same video on YouTube selecting 1440P and is not even close to the quality of the video from Tube mate.

On two different threads you're the only person that's experiencing this issue. I can tell you from my own phone that once 1440 sticks it looks noticeably sharper. Can you please double check that 1440 is sticking for you?
Well, this opened up 1080p to me, but 4k is still not available. My highest quality option had been 720 prior to this, so this is certainly an upgrade.

Can we use the Galaxy Nexus Netflix HD app for our S3? And are there any new HD Netflix apps that work full screen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Am I missing something here? What is the difference between the standard Netflix app, and this mentioned Netflix HD app?
I just happened to test out Netflix the other night, and with the regular Play-store app was able to click the little "HD" button to view HD streams.

Hmm. I'll have to check again later, but it was at the bottom left of the screen, plain as day. I'm using CleanRom 2.5 with the Play store Netflix app. I'm not sure if it depends on your connection and/or the content as to if it shows up.

I've noticed it's not HD as well on my S3. I have no options to change the quality and my connection is more than fast enough.
Alright, I got a chance to check again, and of course there's no HD setting. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy, but could swear there was an HD toggle the last time I tried it (maybe a week or two ago). Sorry for the misinformation -- I'm not sure what if anything changed on my end.
Update: Crap, I found out what happened -- I was thinking of the YouTube app. I really need more sleep. Sorry, guys.

lol all good man it happens.
So the S3 doesn't play netflix in HD?
If you go onto netflix.com with your browser than log in, go to account settings, streaming options, there is an option to raise the quality video on streaming devices at the cost of data. I have mine set in high as I have unlimited data but it uses like 1gb per hour. I honestly cannot see much of a difference

Doesn't work with phones. Netflix is working on a HD app for droids right now. You can see the difference in the Nexus HD app thread. I just want to know if the Nexus HD app works for our S3's

I tried sending a video from my Nexus 4 through whatsapp and noticed that my video was too large of a file. I know how to convert it on a PC, but it's a hassle to startup my PC just to convert the video to 480p or 360p. Is there a way to do that directly on my Android phone?
Thank you.

Is there a camera shortcut or an app that when I click it, it will prompt me to take a photo with the app of my choice (default camera, camera zoom, instagram, etc.)?
Just make a folder on your home screen with camera, instagram etc? Apex also allows you to make a shortcut to a specific screen within the app, it's called activities.

Thanks, but I don't want to do a folder though, hence why I asked about a shortcut. And that Apex thing is nothing at all like what I want.

Hello,
Are there any working screen recorder software for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 p3100?
I have already tried screencast and few others. Everything simply records a black screen. I have Disabled HW Overlays and enabled Force GPU Rendering in Developer options.
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

Thanks! Works amazingly (except the sidewards screen). I have been searching for an app like this for as long as i can remember.
Hi did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem with my screen recorder, nothing is working even the asc or [email protected] Previously i tried the screen recorder pro with the same device and same firmware and its working fine until i install chain 3d which cause my phone to a bootloop, after i reflash the firmware no single screen recording apps is working (only black screen video).
Does anyone have a solution for this, I do believe that jellybean is not the issue for this prob.

This one is the only one I know that works for Galaxy Tab 2s. It works perfectly. The only drawback on the free version, is that the max recording length is 3 mins.

Coming from a Galaxy S3, the only thing I miss about my old phone compared to Nexus 5 is the camera app / functions.
One feature in particular is the ability to pause the video recording and resume recording the same file. On Nexus5 I have to record numerous short videos and then stitch them to a final video. I gave Camera Awesome a try and it looks great for taking photos, but it doesn't have the pause video recording functionality.
Anybody tried a decent camera app that has this specific function ?
Anybody ?
This cannot be a Samsung only feature, I'm sure I have seen it on other phones
Google is working on a fix for the camera, I would just wait for that. It should be soon.
