[GUIDE] How to enable 720p/1080p 60fps in YouTube on OP3

[_MartyMan_]

First of all, you are doing this at your own risk!

In this guide i'll show how to force YouTube app to play the 1080p 60fps videos on your OverPower 3 device.

You'll need:
- Root, Xposed, and YouTube installed on your OnePlus 3

1. Search and install 'Device Faker' on Google Play. (Made by PLP)
2. Activate the module in Xposed app and reboot your device.
3. Open Device Faker, tap 'Select a device' and select "Samsung/SM-G920F/5.0.2" (Don't worry it's just a simplified build.prop editor, you can restore by tapping 'Restore Original Info')
4. Tap Apply
5. Force close YouTube
6. Open YouTube, enjoy

Hope i helped

Could this be done without xposed just editing build.prop?

Yeah. I think it's possible.

Just find/create these in you build.prop, and edit them:

Model: SM-G920F
Brand: Samsung
Manufacturer: Samsung
Board: SM-G920F
Name: SM-G920F
Device: SM-G920F
OS Version: 5.0.2
Display ID: LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCZ
Fingerprint: Samsung/SM-G920F:4.4.2/KOT49H/eng.bz.1430385425:user/test-keys

I copied them from the app. Hope it'll work

Edit: Or you can try the app without Xposed. It may work.

For those who don't want to do all this, you can get 1080p at 60fps by using the desktop version of YouTube in your mobile browser. YouTube will eventually have this working through the app.

Is this a one time thing or does it need to stay as an Samsung phone?

Vote with one star in play store they aren't allowing net neutrality by also lowering some video qualities to 480p on OP3 vs 1080p 60fps on note5 for same exact video. Google why you hate Chinese phone manufacturers?

Can't find the option to change to 1080p 60fps in browser. Can you tell me how to do that?

Hi,

I have seen on another forum that device faker can bootloop the one plus. What is the solution if I have this problem?
