[GUIDE] Fix maximum resolution for YouTube (1080p, 1440p)

Hey guys, i was trying really hard to get youtube with the maximum resolution supported by the Note 4 but so far the only way was using a hack into the build.prop but that hack kills S-Note so i didn't want to keep it. Anyway playing tonight with the phone i was able to find a little trick of how to get this working as expected while keeping S-Note.
Let's start with the guide.
My Info:
1. Android 4.4.4, RAPTURE 1.0 by iB4STiD
2. KT-Note 4 Kernel by ktoonsez with SELinux permissive.
Requirements:
1. Root
2. Xposed Framework 2.6+
3. Titanium Backup or any system app remover
Guide:
1. First, you need to get rid of the current youtube app that you have installed, so go the Settings > Application Manager > All > Find YouTube > Click on it, then click on Force stop, click on clear cache, clear data and finally uninstall. (If you don't have the option to uninstall it but you have the option to turn it off then go to step 2)
2. Open Titanium Backup and search for youtube, long press over it and select the option to uninstall it, after this you should not have any youtube app in your device.
3. Install this YouTube App: YouTube 5.18.5 and don't open it
4. Open Xposed Framework, and click in Download, then search for YourTube (with the R after You and before Tube) and download the last version, after it installs don't reboot, search again this time for YouTube AdAway and download the last version.
5. Go to Xposed Framework again, and click in Modules, select YourTube and YouTube AdAway.
6. Reboot the phone
7. Open YourTube and change the following settings: Maximum default quality = 1440p, Override device support (check the box)
8. Open YouTube AdAway and select the following settings: Hide Ads and Hide logo and suggestions
9. Reboot the phone
10. Open YouTube and enjoy the Note 4 resolution.

Please let met know if this does work for you guys.

Did not work for me. I followed your instructions and used the following versions.
Youtube 5.18.5 (your provided link)
YourTube 1.2.4
Youtube AdAway 2.1.3
My Info:
Android 4.4.4, DynamicKat 2.0 NJ7 by bri315317
Thanks for your attempt. I hope this gets solved soon :crying:

This sucks. Especially because the 5.18.5 version is supposed to fix higher resolution for the g3 note 4 and nexus 6... But they're still not working. What's going on google?

Google is butthurt that Note 4 is better then Nexus, as punishment we must use 720p?

This is just one way to get it working. I don't use xposed so try other ways posted as well.

Use the APK i put in my post not the one from play store, also sometimes it requires more reboots, in my case it was working but i opened the yourtube app and youtube adaway and it stopped working but after i rebooted it started working again. Also i attached more screenshots showing what xposed modules i have installed.

I tried this method and youtube and I could only get 720. I did however see another thread that had another method to acquire 2160 res and to my luck it worked but at the expense of my snote for some reason. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2950682 not to say this won't work I'm saying if you can't get it this way maybe like me this other method could work. Credit to the author here and in the other thread thank them for the leg work.

I've tried several 1440 and 1080p videos with no luck each time.

I tried this method too, and all I get is 720p

Ok, following the OP directions, and installing the linked YouTube, which was a newer version than I had installed or available on the play store (as of today's date anyway). I only got 720p...
HOWEVER
By reading the post linked in the quote above, I edited to build.prop to read version 5.0 instead of 4.4.4, and I instantly got 1440p. And as far as I can tell, snote is still working (though I don't use snote, so I'm just launching it and verifying it doesn't crash)
Here's what I changed in build.prop
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

Many thanks to the writers of the threads in question! Great work guys. I'm psyched about having QHD YouTube!

Sweet it works! Thanks!

I'd rather not fix YouTube by changing build prop and break other things I use more often.

PiP Still Not Working - Official Android Oreo

I haven't been able to get Picture-in-Picture working since I've been on Android 8 - DP2 all the way through DP4. I've been hoping that when Android Oreo officially released that it'd fix the issue but I just upgraded and still can't get it to work. Has anyone else found a work around for this?

Yeah, is a YouTube Red subscription (or whatever it's called right now) still necessary?

People on Reddit claims that it doesn't work on YouTube unless you have YouTube Red. That's a shame

I read somewhere VLC added support for o pip

Yes, and it's working for me

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don't have a reliable / user friendly way to make ads work well while in YouTube PIP mode. Too bad, especially because 1) it's a #$%@ move. 2) YouTube Red is only available in select countries.

I am still getting the forced reboot when you have PIP for YouTube playing and then toggling the screen off and on. Anyone seeing this too?

It works on Duo, so I would try that and if it works then you'll know it's a YouTube v YouTube Red thing. I have Red and it works fine so I can't test this for you.

I also have Youtube Red, but it forces reboot for me if my screen is turned back on after it had turned off or if I turn off the screen while Youtube is playing in PIP mode.

I can confirm this happens when I use PiP as well. Can't let the screen turn off....
Have submitted to Google.

I have it working fine on Youtube Red.

Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.

Here is a list of apps on my phone supporting PiP

Out of curiosity, what does PIP do for WhatsApp? Is it also for videos only?

How to enable new things from Android O

Hello there people
I ve just up dated my 6p to Android Oreo
But the notification dots and the pic in pic mode are enabled they don't seem to work or may be i am not doing it right if somebody can help me. I ve checked the dots in each app but still no luck. Aside of this the software is working perfectly fine with alot of bugs gone and i even feel it smother

For picture in picture mode to work, you need to update the Youtube application, and I believe you have to be a Youtube Red/Google Play Music subscriber for it to work.

when subscribed in pic in pic it only worked there!
but not in any other App

The are few apps that implemented it yet, video calls on WhatsApp, YouTube only with red subscription, videos in chrome (not youtube) and VLC player I believe

Google Now Launcher doesn't support notification dots. Download the Pixel launcher or the Lawnchair launcher if you want them.

I tried this and it worked . Pic in pic mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZwLwO7T5Bg

Yes, the same happened to me last night. I can see it in the settings/apps list. I'm guessing the camera app would need to be updated to get access to the AR Emoji feature as that is how it's accessed on the S9/+.

Same thing on my s8.

It was the first thing I did.
I managed to make it work again by installing the module "liboemcrypto disable".
Now I can watch films, but the max resolution will be HD, but I'm still happy with this.

friend, where I get the module "liboencrypto disable" and how I install it.
I have the same problem

you can also rename the liboemcrypto.so to liboemcrypto.so.bak in the root folder and it will allow you to use the app

Are you now able to watch Netflix with Max resolution of HD or SD? As i read in the thread of that module that it turns the Netflix video resolution to SD
