Hi, the galaxy s has a beautiful screen and a powerful graphic card. It will be a waste if viewing video in normal or lower quality. However, when loading from youtube, the default video mode is normal quality, and it's quite troublesome to change the mode every time. Anyone knows the way to change the default to high quality?
Sent from my GT-I9000
download this youtube addon and install it on your phone.
it will enable a "HQ" button next to the play/pause buttons in the lower right corner of the display.
i think this also enables playing videos in HQ everytime you start playing a video, but I can't test this since I'm waiting for a replacement SGS.
regards
Wish program do you use to open this file "YouTubeHD.apk"? Can`t do it when i use winzip.

If you google youtubehd.apk you'll see a lot of results that suggest people are ripping the EVO 4G's youtube app and putting it on their phones. I'm not the original poster, but will assume that's where this is from before I hear otherwise.
I wish I'd thought of ripping the various apps off my EVO 4G before returning it to Sprint for a refund.

That would be exactly what I did, and I thank you so much for posting this
Thank you for this.
It looks like an official app.
Why do not google update this like the other apps?
it doesn't work for me.. it won't let me open saying it's not an authorized app from market..or something
here :
YouTube v1.6.19e.apk woks great on my desire & Galaxy s

thanks for the reply, but i'm getting the same message.
when i try to launch the file using ASTRO, it says install blocked, and says for security reasons, its set to block installation of apps not sourced in market..
Go to settings then applications -then click unknown sources, should work after that
ahhh i dont see unknown sources.. whats happening!!
sorry to be a bother
Well there is the HD button and it's defaulted on HD in JP3 firmware.. That suggest it will be so in the future official release too.

What phone do you have? The Captivate has had that removed from it. You can still install with adb or a sideloader app, I believe.
Just updated the firmware - and still this is needed. Thank you again!
However, it seems to default to normal quality, when on 3g network. I wish I could force it to hd/hq all the time?

I've pulled this build. I stand behind google's request to not distribute builds including closed source applications.
what is advanced launcher?
it allows you to hide apps you don't use from your launcher drawer by dragging them to the trash.
Hey mssmison,
Your post says 320x240 res, but the decription on Vogue android says 320x480
Booted up using usual 320x480 fine, data and market works, able to place a call.
nice theme and pretty damn fast so far also.

actually, try 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for a correct aspect ratio while allowing the usage of all the apps.
very, very nice release indeed.
- using 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for correct aspect ratio while not breaking any apps (such as keyboard).
- very fast call notification (within 1st ringtone)
- wifi working
- data working
- market working
- very fast
- left some extra stuff, such as the rogers stuff (my account, ringback, ringtones), teeter, :-/
I set to 320x427 with lcd 160 but some apps like the music app is still getting cut off.
Also on the market I am only seein a few apps and games, not the full market.
I had this same issue with the 1.6 donut also.

On the google Code page you will find a new bundle for the newly updated HTC cupcake build.
Includes advanced launcher, latest messaging app as well as many others.
You must make sure your res is 320x240 to boot. again the old rootfs won't work, this one is updated. I'll update the bundle later.

Hi
What a wonderfull build.. Thanks a lot to all who have developed this. Andriod definetly is far better than WM (for me atleast)
Was able to install the rogers build. It took sometime. I used the rootfs.img that came with the zip but didnt work on my tilt. So i used the one from the basefiles-v2 and that did the trick. It took sometime to load initially but did work.
Things that worked
1. Wifi and Market. Was able to download applications
2. Browser working
3. Calling and SMS worked (though with slight issues)
4. GPS working (recoginzed in google maps and Sportyhal)
5. Import contacts worked
6. Music with good clear sound
7. Great speed
Things that didnt work or had issues
1. You tube connect and i can listen to music but can only see the first image that it download and not the whole video
2. For some reason I cannot confirm at this time the calling was going thru but wasnt able to hear the call answer
3. All new icons for shopping, Home, My account give errors
4. Standard things not working - Camera, bluetooth, speakerphone on call, the calibaration application always force closes.
Not tried data connection as I dont use it
Can anyone help me out with anyof the above issue or is this something everyone is facing.....
I will continue to use this version instead of WM ...
Thanks

May be tilt related with the calling. I use this as my daily build and haven't experieinced these issue. The rogers apps that are there are only for rogers network users. I had a request to leave them so I did. You can always hide them with the advanced launcher, just drag them to the trash.

About YouTube: when the video starts, go to options and select normal quality
Lurker turned poster.
On the Motorola Droid, there was a hack by "xeudoxus" which allowed for the YouTube app to default to High Quality playback.
Any idea if this will work on the Nexus One? I presume not since that is an Motorola phone, and this is HTC. If not, has anyone ported that over to work on the Nexus?
Thanks in advance.
(P.S. apologies if this is the wrong section. I started to make this post under "Themes and Apps," but also didn't seem right.)
I was just about to post this same topic. I'm going to try the Motorola hack today to see if it works. If not, I'd very much like to see this added to the Nexus One. The quality of YouTube videos over 3G is almost unwatchable on such a high res display.
absolutely'd love it....big case of beer to the dev that does this!
Iphone had a similar hack........loved it: 'fooled' youtube, or any app, into thinking it was on wifi
isn't the option built-in?
I always watch HQ on 3G when I want. I just click on menu, more, and then the option "play High Quality".
Works for me just fine. I don't know if there is a hack to make it default though.

Correct. Just seeing if there was a hack made for the Nexus One. The one for the Droid includes a 2.1 firmware version, but I'm unsure.
The slight disadvantage, beyond the button clicks, to that procedure is that the clip then has to rebuffer for the HQ version. At least, in my experience, anyway.
A few clips and a couple extra seconds of buffer time aren't huge things. Would just be nice to have the HQ version be default

It does as of five minutes ago(Double checked before posting). As quoted above tap the Menu key, More, Watch in High Quality.
Disruptive to have to do it with each video tho....would like it at least as a settings default option

I was referring it to a global option and not for each video you watch I knew about that but for the older youtube apps on android it was a global option.
On WiFi it defaults to high quality.

I attempted to use this this morning without much success. I believe the error had something to do with the system still being odex'd; I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd attempt again to say for sure. I'm currently running CyanoMod as my rom if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the post, though, and keep up the good work.

in the youtube app. go to settings and more. Then it says watch in high quality.
That i know, but if it has the HQ hack, can't you set HQ as default?
Here is how you hack YouTube to default into HQ:
1. Put the youtube.apk on your sdcard.
2. Get Root Explorer from the Market.
3. Using Root Explorer, navigate to the sdcard folder and long press on the youtube.apk and click "Move"
4. Navigate to the /system/app folder
5. Click the button up top that says "Remount as R/W"
6. Click the button on the bottom that says "Paste" then confirm overwrite.
7. Now you need to set the permissions on that file: Long press on the youtube.apk and click Permissions. Check User Read and Write, Group Read, and Others Read. Uncheck everything else and click Ok.
7. Click the button up top that says "Remount as R/O"
8. Reboot, you're done

Let me rephrase that. The link takes me to the proper place to download the file, But clicking on the download link gives me a 403 error. I'll give it another shot in a few.
BTW when I install 1.8 it tell me I need to download the demo file but when I attempt to download it, the program says starting download and never does anything else.
Could be getting hammered then. Sorry about that, as i thought you meant the main link.
When you go to the tools, under menu. Where it says download data file. You can hit the drop down arrow and choose from like 60 download sites. Thanks

I've used skype a few times on my tablet, I've never had a problem with the video, the video seems to be the only thing that works pretty flawlessly for me. In all honestly I think the app its self has the problems and its not the xoom/software on the xoom.
The issues i've had mostly deal with my Bluetooth headset and skype. Sometimes it will send ringing to the headset, then it'll disconnect from the headset and put the actual call through the speakers, sometimes It wont even go that far. Once it actually let me complete a call with the headset but that only happened once. The other issue I had was Skype didn't want to let me accept a call from one of my friends. I could send calls but not accept. So I think the app its self is just borked.
Hello
Skype works fine till you update it from the market. This update seems to mess it up for alot of people myself included. You need to uninstall it and find a previous version and side load that.

Hello all,
Seen a few discussions after a quick google with skype, as I've been having problems with skype too! Video just drops as soon as I start a conversation. I've put it down to the app, as the same thing happened on my HTC Sensation!
Hopefully it'll resolve with an update! Fingers crossed!
It's the latest update that breaks it. Try using the one I've attached to this post.
Had to attach it as ZIP since the APK is over 8MB. Just unzip and install the APK.

After you've downloaded it, use a file manager (like file expert) to navigate to download in sdcard (your internal storage) and inside of the download folder, find the file you want to install, and then click on it. You should be given a choice to install apk or run package installer, choose whatever will install and you're go to go.
And don't forget to ignore updates until a new one comes along.
I hope everyone that's had issues has left a negative review on the market....
Thanks for this, I had the same issue. Installed the APK above. It gave me an error saying I needed to reinstall, but I let it uninstall itself, then went back in to EZ installer and installed it again and it was fine :S
If it has a keylogger I will hunt you down etc etc ...
Wonderful I will try installing this work around. Thanks guys, bought the xoom for xmas present for my wife to skype her brother and family in South Africa and video calls with Skype app would not work. Xoom itself is great quality bit of kit.
