[MOD] Youtube 'Gingerbread' ported to Eclair

rolle3k · Oct 24, 2010

Hiya,

due to my brother not having the luck of having Froyo on his phone I took a look at it and hacked the newst YouTube app to work with Eclair. I had to remove two calls and add android.util.base64 which was introduced with Froyo. However, it should work flawlessly. If you encounter any problems, feel free to post here along with a little description and if possible a logcat dump of the exception.

You have to remove the default YouTube app before you can install this one over.

Using ADB Shell this should just work:
adb remount
adb shell rm system/app/YouTube.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

then you can just install it over using the package manager or with adb (adb install YouTube_signed.apk).

Hope this helps, enjoy the re-designed Youtube app!

Tested. Work well on Floyo 1.01. Great work.

Just tested it, and it works on eclair.

btw, is it possible to port the froyo gmail app to eclair?

EDIT: after further testing, it force closes. the process used to get to a force close was i logged in to my youtube account, exited the app, opened skyfire (it forced closed, perhaps of youtube. however i am not sure), reopened the youtube app but it forced close. i reverted back to the older youtube (stock) and repeated the process above, and no force closes in skyfire or youtube

Why not,it`s a Froyo 2.2 ROM so you can use the original too

thanks alot it works in 2.1 in spica ..

How did you decompile the original apk? If i may ask...

sempi601 · Oct 24, 2010

It worked for me at the first start, but then it gives me force closes every time I try to start it. I restarted my phone, tried to reinstall the app, but nothing helped. Anybody has the same problem?

I can only use the app again if I go to Settings/Applications and delete cache and data from YouTube. Is there any way to avoid deleting these all the time? FC mainly occurs after I login to my account. Thanks

Updated it

Changed a API call that would require Froyo. Should work better now.

Works great. Cheers!

Thank you rolle3k for your work. I just tried the fixed version, but it still gives force closes when I am logged onto my account. The problem might be around logging in to an account, because when I'm not logged on, it works.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check that out.

this app is awesome!!!!! .. smoother than ever!! ... thanks mate...

Jed2191 · Oct 25, 2010

Not sure if this is just me but it doesn't open now, I just get an instant FC no matter how or where I open the app from. Any ideas?

Yep, it seems logging into your account breaks it.

Installed it on HTC Gratia Froyo port, works great

I just got into the setting, applications, manage applications, found it and uninstalled it, then installed the new one, and it works great...

ayk33 · Oct 27, 2010

hello all,

i removed youtube and tried to install this but it gives error as "application not installed". by the way i'm using cronos froyo 1.4.2. any idea?

crilin80 · Oct 27, 2010

Hi, I have a problem with that app.

Yesterday I've installed it and worked fine until evening.
Now I got an error everytime I try to open it... I try to restart the device (many times), but nothing's happened.

My Hero got "Tegro 2.1 (Slide Espresso port) [ROM]", any suggestion?

Edit:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apk: now it works! I don't know why but it works!

hash87 · Oct 29, 2010

Hello rolle3k! Have you found anything that is causing the Force Close? It is definitely doing this when logged in.
Since then I am using YouTube without logging in and it works great so far.

However, it would be great to have the ability to log in without deleting data/cache every time I want to use YouTube.
Could you help us?

With that option this app would be awesome. Thanks
