YouTube hq

anyone know how to make YouTube play in high quality by default ? only one rom does this on its own and that's aloysus . I know when on wifi it will but I'm mostly on 3g. maybe there's on option on YouTube itself to do this ?

The version attached below will play in HQ by default.

Install through adb:

adb remount
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot

Install through Astro, or similar:

Place the file on your sdcard
Open Astro
Find YouTube.apk on your sdcard -> Click & Hold it -> Edit -> Move
Go to /system/app directory
Menu -> Edit -> Paste
Reboot your device

Enjoy!

Sweet. Thanks a lot.

getting the hang of using adb, worked like a charm.
thank you!

Glad to help

not sure what I did wrong but I couldn't get this to work. I didn't do ab method cause I rarely have access to a computer. did astro way and it wouldn't allow me to paste on system / app. I used Linda and that allowed me to copy / paste. I rebooted and tried YouTube but got same ole normal quality. I took a a look back at system / app and saw that YouTube apk was indeed there and it was. LOL this seems so simple and really isn't a huge deal but would be really nice for me to get this to work :)

Go with the ADB method, it'll work. Make sure you push, not install, install will fail with a message to the effect of same version already installed.

installed it last night, it actually makes the YouTube app worth using. where did you get the apk from?

If using astro or any other file manager you have to turn on the root settings. Also setup the SU and then mount the system via the app. I use ES File Explorer. Works great, in sure.
