If you're not rooted and/or don't want to mess around with the youtube app, sideload TubeMate. When you switch to full screen, it'll give you resolution options. And of course, TubeMate's main function is that it allows you to download the video to your device. Downloading youtube videos doesn't jive with Google's TOS, so you have to do a search and sideload it; it's unavailable from the Play Store. I can't get FHD to work for playback, even on my LG 8.3 tablet ("not supported); it maxes at 720p. However, I can download at FHD and watch it with a 3rd party player (but requires MP3 Video Converter to also be installed).
There's also SuperTube (available from the Play Store). No downloading of course, but it lets you select the resolution up to 720p. The nifty thing with this app is that it's also a floating player, which means you can watch a video on top of another app or your homescreens.

Thank you very very much @lootjelo.

Thanks, i was looking for this, all i need is to have the phone rooted correct?

My device is rooted. Installing for Youtube 4.4.11 v5b apk , your need uninstall to installed system youtube application. Need rooted device for this. @fakeblitz

[Q] Youtube Downloader?

Hi there, i am a proud owner of an i9300, and im searching for a proper youtube downloader/converter to use. I've tested TubeMusic which is quite good ( it embeds into the official android youtube application, and whe u see a video, you press "share" icon and it adds the "Download" option. The only problem is that the files downloaded can only be played properly with the "Tube Music" player. They are still in .mp3 format and they are stored in the hidden fodler ".tubemusic" but the names are all messed up. I'd love if they could give us the setting to download wherever we want, and if it didnt mess with the mp3 names. Any ideas?
I've always used 'Tubemate' which isn't on Google play anymore but you can it from searching google.
You can specify what quality/resolution it downloads in or as an mp3. I would also be interested if anyone else has some other suggestions for YouTube downloaders.

Hm.. Im trying it right now, seems good but it doesnt embed in the official youtube application. Its an application on its own. Very good tho! Thanks!:laugh:
If you use the proper youtube app, you can enable 'preload' (either on subscriptions or watch later).
I use Opera Mini to download YouTube vids. I navigate to the site, search for the video and when I click play or watch it automatically downloads the video in either mp4 or 3gp format depending on if I have his or low video setting enabled. Not sure if this is stock on the opera mini or if I downloaded something to enable it but it used to do the same on my Desire Z with the same app.

Google wants to leverage it's Youtube platform as a delivery network for commercial entities. That won't work if everyone can install an app to rip the video within seconds.
So they have to make it somewhat harder, since it's technically not possible to block such services/apps entirely.

By "embed" do you mean that this app is added as an intent from the Share option available on any YouTube video?
If so, TubeMate does this as well. Actually almost any app that is registered as a video filetype handler should be available from YouTube's Share menu.

[Q] How can I download tube video's to my SGS2

When I see a nice vid whereever on the net I would like to download it to my phone, just can't figure out how.. Can someone tell me how to do this? I don't mean youtube vids.. allready have Tubemate for that.. TIA!
Have you tried "FVD - Free Video Downloader"?
No I did not.. Nice app, works smoothly! Thnx m8!
I use Freedi YouTube Downloader. It gives you the opt-in to download as mp3 or video, n then it gives you the option of what quality, for example 480p, 720p or 1080p. Of course that's dependant on which qualities the video is actually available in.

If u still have samsung apps installed open it there should be an app called tube downloader you can use that to download youtube videos.

ICS 9 + HTC Wildfire S

I have HTC Wildfire S (marvel) and have recently installed CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2 marvel ALPHA7.
Since I cant post to that topic, for whatever reason, here it goes.
First of all, huge thanks to dude who developed it. My phone is faster, more responsive, lots more features, etc. For me it was equivavalent from moving from windows ME to win 7.
Second, a big thanks to all of you who posted tutorials on how to root and install custom roms, backups, etc. I never laid eyes on Android OS up to few weeks ago and due to these tutorial (after some trail and error and long hours) managed to solo update and setup everything.
Now I would like to ask a few questions in relation to Cyanogen mode that arose in this brief use time.
1) Video is recording, but cant be played, also when I open it on my computer video is running but is garbled green. Is this a currently unresolved bug, and is there a workaround in a form of app that would be used to record instead?
2) When using 2g/3g internet with apps, the apps (e.g. facebook app) very quickly report there is no connection and I have to retap to try again. On wifi, there is no such problem (probably due to fact I have signal strength of 95%). Is there a way to change the time that apps wait for internet data before reporting no internet connection or time outing?
3) What apps can be safely deleted from the system part of the internal memory (apk and odex?) ?
1. If you record videos with your phone really often, go back to CM7. Qualcomm OpenMax drivers are needed for hardware video encoding/decoding to work on ICS+, but Qualcomm isn't releasing them for ARMv6. If you want to play videos on your phone, download some video player from Play Store that has it's own SW decoder (for example install MX player, go to settings and change decoder to SW).
3. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
tnx but still problem
Thank you for replay.
I allready use the mx player. The video recorded, when I play it even with mx player is garbled, picture jumping, green overlay etc., same as on the computer.
Is there a way around this by some app which I would use to record instead?

Did you change the settings to SW? When you're watching the video is usually says HW, which means hardware decoding. SW is software decoding

No, I didnt, tried with both, on HW craches, on software garbbled.
Installed VideoREC video recorder and it records, and those recordings I can play fine via mx player on sw, while I still cant play it via gallery (which is not a biggy).
Also video is recorded as if it has low fps (maybe phone or driver limitation), but now at least I can record and view recordings.
Does my phone has hw chip for recording and playback? (cant seem to find this info, and cant understand different codec versions of mx player 5,6,7 - I have 6 installed but I am not sure wheather I should install 7 as well)

[Q] YouTube app sometimes switches from 720p to 480p and is there a 1080p option

Hello everyone,
I'm starting to get annoyed of the fact that YouTube sometimes switches from the 720p to 480p resolution. I only find one trick that helps:
1. Set YouTube app to 144p and load the video
2. Switch back to 720p and swipe the video away
3. Load the video again
But it's very annoying to use this every time I open YouTube, so is there a way to solve this?
The second question about the YouTube app is about the 1080p resolution. I have the latest version, but I'm not able to see a 1080p option. I have a note 10.1 2012 edition (1280*720 I think) but it says it's HD ready and a Samsung galaxy s4. I saw some modded version of YouTube on xda, but it's outdated. Is there a way to achieve this resolution on one of my devices?

Help me with these problems

Since no one is replying to my post, I decided to rewrite this again.
Problems:
Displaying "Samsung Galaxy Win GT-I8550" during boot
Most of the videos on YouTube (app) cannot be played
YouTube (app) and video players (Video Player or MX Player) is limited up to 360p
Crash when "Videos from the web" card is displaying on Chrome
Why do I care about these?
After countless times of installing custom ROM, I decided to revert back everything to default.
So, I installed I8552XXAMK1 on my phone with Odin3 and I found that my phone is displaying "Samsung Galaxy Win GT-I8550" when it is booting up.
I do know that GT-I8552 is just GT-i8550 but with dual SIM.
This problem might be the reason why my phone can't play any videos that are above 360p. (Problem 3.)
Recently, my phone cannot play most of the videos on Youtube. Even the videos that I used to watch with my phone cannot be watch now.
I uninstalled YouTube (uninstall updates) and I found that I can play the videos that I used to watch. But, after I installed latest version of YouTube, I cannot play them.
I don't want to use old version of YouTube since I really like the UI of latest version of YouTube.
So, I would love to know how to fix this problem without needing me to force myself to use old versions.
I think this problem is related to Problem 1.
My phone cannot play videos that are higher than 360p.
On YouTube, I always need to watch them in 360p, which is pretty hard to me when I am watching educational videos that involves text. Well, this is fine since I can at least watch them.
But, when I downloaded video that are above 360p (stored in phone), I cannot watch it at all. Unlike YouTube that allows me to change resolution, video players cannot.
So, I installed MX Player and needed to enable SW decoder to watch 480p and above videos.
Problem fixed? No, I want to watch videos on YouTube on 480p so it is easier for me to see things.
I really hate this one. Every time I am using Google, it always crashes when "Videos from the web" cards shows up.
Please help me fix this one because this is really disturbing me.
Please excuse my language since English is not my main language and I rarely ask for help online. You might noticed that my sentences are not really well-organised and really hard to read. I did my best to write this and I hope you reply to it.
