Hello,
I am really sorry to bother you nice folks around here, but I have a problem.
A friend of mine used the Google Youtube app. He told me it was was an great app and that I should try it.
Because I trusted him, I did.
But if you install the Google Youtube app, it gets rid of your HTC Youtube App.
And we all know wich one is superior!
If I open an video through www.m.youtube.com I still get the same quality and interface as in the HTC Youtube app, so I guess my app is still hidden somewhere! I have searched everywhere on my device, but I could not find a file that redirects to the Youtube app. It's probably gone.
I found this, but is does not work on my device; http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/02...wvga-youtube-app-ported-to-vga.html#more-3424
And I can't download and try these cabs; because of restrictions due the fact that I am living in the Netherlands.

Could you guys help me out?

I had the exact same problem as you.
Don't download any youtube apps.
I did and it caused more problems like the registry font tweak and search sort order
stopped working..
So I installed the youtube apps that is flying around the internet.
If you install those, the tweaks font work.
Like you said the original youtube program is stored in
Windows folder, Just create a shortcut of one of those 2 youtube files
in Windows\start menu folder.
And you will have your youtube back in perfect condition.
Now.. my question is.. is there a youtube app that lets you view comments?
The htc one is quite good, but only if it allowed us to view comments..
The Android youtube app were really good at that..
Or is there a way to make opera like the safari on iPhone?
Instead of saying browser needs flash, Iphone just creates the video link
for all youtube apps so the browser triggers the iphone youtube app to handle
those flash youtube videos...
Please tell me if there is something similar on hd2..
Thank you so much! I was looking everywhere on the device! Just overlooked this one
And no, I haven't heard of something like that.
Instead I change the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk into
http://www.m.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk
That's my workaround when i get directed to a youtube link from twitter or windows live.
I'm sure there'll be a ton of this type of thread, but I glanced around and didn't see anything recent. Here's what I've found that I really like for Tablet use:
Productivity type apps:
QuickPic - it's really a phone photo viewer but it gives a lot better quality pictures than the built-in app.
CNBC Real Time- wow, this is what a tablet app should be! If you trade stocks or watch financial markets, this is a killer app!
USA Today for Tablet - another excellent tablet news app
Tablet Keyboard - $.99 but if you need arrow keys or want a split-screen keyboard for thumb use, it's great. Missing features like auto-cap or auto-complete, so be aware. I use this primarily with ConnectBot for controlling servers because of the arrow keys.
Thinking Space - works rather well as a mindmapping app
AndChat - IRC client. Works well despite being a phone app
Calibre Library - full disclosure: I wrote this. Optimized for Honeycomb, connect to your Calibre desktop app wirelessly, and if you're a real geek even over the Internet if you know how to set up your desktop app right.
ConnectBot - again a phone app, but works well on the tablet.
Other
Asteroid Belt Live Wallpaper - just cool
Games
Gun Bros - Plays well on the tablet.
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe - Designed for Tegra 2
I also tried the CNN tablet app, but it constantly crashes and won't play the videos even though it's designed for Honeycomb.
Thanks for the list, theres some gems in there. CNN app works great on my Iconia btw, havent seen a crash and video is perfect.

Have both and agree they are great.
great thread
FlexT9 keyboard. It's what ShapeWriter morphed into after they got acquired. Tap, swipe, talk, or draw. Totally kicks ass, and is optimized for the tablet.

I still can't get video, it always tells me video is not available offline, despite the fact my wiress is connected and it just downloaded the list of videos...
Let's see.. Those that have CNN working with videos, are you rooted or not? For me when I had my Xoom, it didnt work either (rooted), If not, i have no idea what the deal is.
CNN app works fine for me and I'm not rooted.
any suggestions for office documetns apps? trying quick office. Any other suggestions?
As stated my CNN app doesn't work - and yes I'm rooted. I usually run "Airplane" mode with wifi enabled (that whole try to stop sucking battery for 3G that I don't have tip,) but I also tried disabling airplane with wifi enabled to no avail.
I did replace my wpa_supplicant file to enable ad-hoc networks.

Might try to download the latest version... the release notes state:
NOTE: "Offline" message that some users are getting while viewing stories is resolved in this build. Thanks for your patience!
As far as file commanders go, I prefer Ghost Commander, its a lot like the Norton Commander of old, two columns.
watch espn
Watch espn is a great tablet app to watch espn as long as you have a certain cable provider watched baseball last night over 4g tether
I'm using Touchdown for Tablets for my work email and calendar, works great, looks great, actually lets me synch my notes and tasks in addition to emails, contacts & appointments.
Love the Kindle app
I haven't used any of the other office apps yet so I can't speak for how they work on Honeycomb

Nope - mine already has that version. Right now, clicking any story that has a video just makes the screen flicker a brief moment and go back to the list of stories. I'll stick with USA Today I guess.
Tried replacing the wpa supplicant file with the original, and it still pulls the offline error. I am rooted and honestly could not give a crap about this app. Just Saying.
Uninstall and disable adblocker reinstall reboot a voila it works. Adblocker is the problem hence the problems exists with rooted users. Again I dont give a crap about this app but hope it helps those who do.
Hi guys, could someone please recommend a good working app for football/soccer highlights. I've tried using stock browser as well as other browsers to view highlights but would prefer apps instead. Found some like the Goal TV app but never seem to display the video on screen. I would very much appreciate it if someone could recommend a functional app. Thanks

Free APK to send chrome cast content (screen cast and tab cast) to your fire tv. It supports any fire tv.
Instructions:
side load the APK to your Fire TV
Version 1.2
This is not my work but it is verified to work and it does not contain any ads or any limitations
Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.
Does this app require Play Store/Services on the Fire TV device?

no you can install it right away
Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?
Dave
I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
Hello Friends~!
I feel like the community is getting closer to being able to make roms for our device and to prepare for that, I would like to know:
What is it that you Like and or Dislike about the Shield's Firmware you are running?
(If you can list the firmware you are running in your answer, that would be super helpful)
I am writing a script to cleanup the system image I want to clone (8.2.3 will be the first one I work on), but it would be helpful to know what others like and dislike about any firmware.
Plus we can generally agree that most like Plex therefore that app and the SMB server stuff should be left alone.
But what do you think? What should be left into a rom for the shield? What should be left out? Should anything be Added in to the rom? Like launchers or stuff like that. What do You personally use?
Any and all thoughts welcome and appreciated!
For me 8.2.3 is the best. Everything with permissions etc got crazy stupid after that. Rocked 9.1.1 for less than 24 hrs...was laggy and just plain sucked.
The thing i wish 8.2.3 or any firmware would allow a way to chromecast youtube to a shield ad free version....lots of times I'll be watching ad free YouTube on my phone....I'll beam it to my tv and get flooded with ads....that would be my wish.
No pop up or ad EVER has made me want to purchase it....it's just spam!

I think I read what you said wrong, is this in reference to youtube vanced or the regular yt app? Have you tried the new one, revanced or maybe just streaming directly from Brave browser then chromecasting it?
And thank you so much for sharing your ideas and reasonings with me!

Hey there, sorry for the delayed response. Yes so i have vanced on my phone, and occasionally I'll chromecast the video to my shield so i can continue watching it on the tv. The built in youtube/chromecast service on the shield uses the official YouTube app for playback in that case and so there are ads.....i know there are a few other YouTube clients that work adfree on the shield, but i believe you have to manually launch those versions on the shield.....meaning sending YouTube playback from phone to shield will launch the official YT app.
It's definitely not a big issue, but it is something I'd like to see.
@louforgiveno Thank You for Explaining this so well! This is a super interesting problem I was unaware of. Definitely will investigate that!
