I am running ParanoidAndroid 1.9.8 in Tablet UI mode. I downloaded the Youtube app from the play store and when I start up the app all looks fine. I understand that there are some issues playing HD videos on a mobile devices, but if I play a non-HD video the video starts playing as normal and after about 15-20 seconds my phone crashes. And by crashes I mean the JB loading screen appears and the phone starts up. It does not do a complete reboot where the white HTC screen appears just the JB screen appears. And this happens whether I am in the app or in the browser. Keep in mind I am fairly new to Android (converted from iPhone) 3 months ago, and just rooted a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know all the android jargon yet but I am learning. I have been searching for anyone else with this same problem to no avail. So after all that rambling, my questions would be: Is this a rom issue or a known app/browser issue that I can't find a resolve on? Has anyone else had this issue on this rom or any other roms? Or can someone point me in the right direction, since I can't seem to find anyone else describing the same issue I am having.

This is an issue with all the jb Roms as far as I know, like most other new systems it takes a little bit for all the kinks to be worked outbut with all our awesome devs I'm sure it won't take long :)

Got to Settings ->Developer Options and disable the HW overlays. You will have to do this every reboot but it should help YouTube performance
