installing older version of apps?

dilldoe · Feb 19, 2013

I want to install the older version of YouTube app, 4.2.2 update replaced the default version with the current one.
I have a back up version from 4.0. I've tried renaming the new version and copying the old one back into /system/app folder.
reboot, but didn't work.
do I have to sideload it? if so how?

Go into the play store, search youtube and uncheck auto update. Next, Tap on the renamed YouTube in /system/app and press uninstall. After that tap on the version of YouTube.apk you want and press install. Your all set!

tried that already, install fails. don't think you can install a root app manually

Try downloading the version you want off of the internet. Then try with that apk.
