Downloading my Apps from places other than the Play Store, has opened my eyes to many different Apps with premium services available such as YouTube Premium via Vanced etc
Are there any that you guys are using that you can recommend?

It's basically the paid version of YouTube for free with some aesthetic changes! It was the best work around for me, and I've even put it on my older GMS stuff too!
only really know of vanced but its class lol
I use vanced on my mate 20 pro and chatting to one of the creators adverts are going to be more prominent the installation is simple and configuring micro G gives you all the notifications . Watching you tube without adverts is definitely worth the hassle

Free version of premium. Also meaning that you can use it as an app rather than through the browser, meaning you do not have to side load GMS.

The official vevo app is now in the market. I just downloaded it and its amazing!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk
What exactly does this app do?
I can't find it. What is it?
Who knows? But it's amazing!!
The wait is over!!! The #1 online destination for music videos is now on your Android phone VEVO lol
Is vevo is **** that is all over youtube music videos
4gCM7
I can't find it in the european market (spanish at least). Can you share the .apk?
Thanks!
Thanks! Too bad there's now video commercials between videos though
For those who don't know what this is:
http://www.vevo.com/
It's like youtube for artists' videos.
Its only for USA i think
Very nice app so far.
Minor annoyance is that there doesn't appear to be a way to default it to HQ. The video has to buffer, then start, then you click HQ, then buffer a little more, then plays.
Maybe they do that so that people who don't know any better just play the video without HQ and they save on the bandwidth?
Can someone post the .apk? I am in the US, but since I am using a Brasil Milestone2 I do not see this application in the market. If this is a paid app then nevermind. I am not trying to pirate anything, just would like to try this out.
it seems it was removed from market as fast as it was posted
You sure? Still listed on appbrain
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vevo/com.vevo
I just downloaded it from the market

This app didn't work well for me at all. It likes to force close, alot. Like someone already said if you wunna watch in hd you hafta wait for it to buffer and then hit the "hd" button and then wait for it to restart buffering and then you can watch. But even once the hd video was loaded I wasint impressed, it still didn't look very good on my phone. I'm using a droid X 2.2.1

No it will not happen. Youtube app dont stream when u off screen. I also want solution for this.
I think the ICS multitasking updated will solved IF we will have ICS?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
I don't know any mod that enables you to do that. But until this gets eventually solved you could use a youtube downloader to download the video in the background.
I dont really want to download the video before watching it, my n8's multitasking is way much better to our SL, thats is the only thing I want to ny previous phone lol

i have used every type of nokia phones since 4 yrs. I know everything about nokia hacking, platform etc. And now using this phone from march month. Android multitasking is somewhat different way. When u play vdo in opera or dolphin browser of android then it can stream vdo in screen off mode. Thats why I am saying that its an youtube app bug only.

There's a pretty nice app on the market called Androidvideo Recharged. It has many tv shows to stream to Android. It doesn't use flash, so it is compatible on more devices than most streaming apps.
Cheers , but I do prefer Icestream.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream
It can't be beaten, and its free.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards
IceStream uses flash though, and just links to other sources on the internet that you can go directly to on your browser.. They can be removed at any time also. Androidvideo has their own servers and can ensure that videos won't randomly be removed.

Don't forget to tell everyone that the app is free but you have to pay to watch anything.
I prefer SPB TV, it has not that many channels, but enough for me, and it's free.

You don't have to pay to watch anything. What are you talking about. They do have a premium membership but they also have free videos. If your not smart enough to figure that out, maybe you.shouldn't be on XDA.

Ice stream isn't even on the market anymore and none of the links on my version of the app work anymore nor have they for weeks. Least with androidvideo, when they have a server problem, they have their videos back up within days, not weeks.

I use IceStream as well for Android on my Tablet and Phone.. quite nice... although sometimes with MoboPlayer it crashes , It plays well with MX Video Player .. Too bad its been removed from Market and its no longer on the dev's website either... not sure why.. probably a C & D .

same here... just discovered xbmc on windows... and icestream for android...
so now I've a HTPC with xbmc on windows, and XBMC unified Remote on my phone to navigate through the XBMC interface and watch either icefilms ( through the addon) .. havent tried it with the XMBC Official remote though...
well i use popcorntime but gonna give a try to both Ice stream and Androidvideo
NOTE: These apps do not exist on the android market any longer because they in some way violated the market's ToS.
I thought this would be a very informative thread for everyone to add to, though I can only think of a few off the top of my head. Please, Add great apps that have been pulled from the market to the list.
I have updated the list to refelct all those mentioned as of 01-04-2012:
Grooveshark - stream songs and playlists via your grooveshark account
WifiKill - view and kick off users on a wireless network
ShootMe - screen capture app
Super Mario live wallpaper - watch mario go through three levels in the background
Icestream - Stream or download movies, tv shows, music, and more for free
Ghosttown - use youtube to search for and stream songs
Gtunes - Search and download single songs
Gameboid - Gameboy emulator
Bitsblock - A tetris variant
Snesoid and nesoid emulators
Openhome launcher - a launcher (unsure of why it was pulled...?)
These types of threads have been done before, but usually are more along the lines of "best apps to have for root users", etc... I am interested in knowing of more and will add others as I think of them. Please contribute!
I like this idea. Ill come back and add more as I think of them..
[*] Gtunes - allowed you to dl music
[*] Applanet - check it out (last attachment)...and if you like it, i'd love if you hit that *thanks*

WifiKill is not found in the market.
I also hate when an app isn't available for your particular device, even though you know damn well your device can run the app (having tested other ways). The whole Market thing is kinda frustrating. And now I have to have the Google Market AND the Amazon Market for my apps, and neither will just filter the FOSS apps, which is what I mostly want anyway.
I think bitblocks was the best version of tetris yet on android. It was removed. Also Snesoid, and Nesoid, though I understand the author was violating the GPL, so what can you do....
ShootMe..... very nice n funny... so tx for share... love dat game...

Ads have been put into every version of YouTube for at least a year now. Older versions of the app will stop working eventually, if not already. Suck it up, that's how people on YouTube make a living. It's not a high paying job for most folks, it's how they put food on the table.
