I could be wrong but I don't think the youtube app requires flash. Just the site.

Throw your phone into the microwave for 30 seconds. Then flip it and heat for another 30 seconds. Presto!
Jk don't do that. I have nothing to contribute to your problem except a pat on the back and a little humor

Did you delete DRM services? You can freeze them but not delete them.

If your flashed to Cricket, might want to try this. Be sure to right down anything you change just in case it doesn't work.

Just try and update to el30 and if that doesn't help let us know. Maybe you just have a shoddy apk. I'm pretty sure the site just loads the video in the youtube app so its not really two different problems. You might just have a bad flash on your youtube apk.

go into the managae applications, look for the youtube app, select, clear the data. then install flash player, once flashplayer is installed, reboot your phone, and then try it again. see what happens. that happened to me before a couple times, i believe thats what i did.

The youtube app has its own flashplayer within it I believe... I say this because I don't have a flash player installed and my youtube app works just fine... (no flash player because I don't watch any videos that require flash on my phone)

So far only way I know is through the hulu app and special version of Adobe Flash. If you are on EXT4 and CWM3 you can flash this courtesy of lostandtired.com:
u need to delete the flash in the system files and use this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22935636/install_flash_player.apk
No need to flash, but that way works too...
here is the hulu app: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22935636/Hulu.apk
^ Gonna try this.
Tried this and it FC on me I didnt try it again.

Go into manage applications and clear data on the hulu.apk.
Just out of curiousity, with Hulu working and uninstalling flash we cannot run anything that requires flash? I need my ATD.lol

have you tried clearing the data?
I tried this with cm7 alpha on this site with the moded synergy kernel. It force closes at the download. It never asked for root access. I have busybox, i don't know if it needed the commands for it. I will try to restore my backups from another rom and see if it works.
I can't even get regular google voice to work. I can get voice mail, but i can't text or dial. I like having a different number, Tmobile. I have unlimited everything, so why won't you let me make calls. I never had a problem with other companies. Why, Tmobile, why?

Youtube

I'm not sure if its the phone the app or something else but my subscriptions are all gone and most of the videos I try to play crash the app. I have tried reflashing cm7 many times but it still occurs. No other app has any issue. Google search failed me so I was hoping someone might have an answer.
Thank you for your time.

Did you go into settings-applications-manage applications-youtube and then clear data? I would try that before anything else. Also, are you undervolting at all? If I go to low with setCPU, youtube is usually the first thing to crash.
Its the app EVERYBODY has this issue and its pissing me off
If you read the apps reviews there plumeting because they haven't fixed it yet

The comments are great, lol. But in an effort to stay on topic, have you tried uninstalling then restoring an older version through Titanium?
This has worked for me NM the past.
Also, though it sounds noobish,have you cleared Dalvik and formatted /cache under mounts &storage? Always ask the simplest questions first. Damn A+ steps. ;-)

Are both of your subs not showing up when you go to "My channel"? Mine wont show up on the youtube widget, but do show up when I go to my channel. I clicked on a few of the recommended videos and about half caused FCs!
I don't use titanium. Clean installs only. I don't nandroid ever either. I know all the tricks for simple stuff since I've been on xda since my Samsung moment. I had figured it was YouTube being YouTube and having issues with everything. But I wasn't sure until I tested stuff.

Its happenning to me aswell. I found a fix that works. Go into cwm and wipe data cache n dalvik. It will wipe everything and you'll have to manually install your apps but it DOES work. Don't restore nandroid. It will bring back the bug.

I saw this fix somewwhere and it worked on my gf's epic running legendary 2.2 and samurai assassin (problem originated for her on acs ics 5.1). I did a factory data reset from the settings menu in android. After the phone reboots enter your account settings and restore apps with data using titanium backup. Its a bit tedious but it worked.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

[APP] Flashplayer for JB

Attached is the flashplayer.apk that works on JB...should be able to install with apk manager...if that doesn't work move to /system/app and reboot...i take no credit for this as I just found it and figured I would post for all to benefit.
How do i test to see it works?
Play a flash video on internet
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
is anyone experiencing flash not supporting/allowing full screen? had this question asked but since I don't use JB I can't answer it...
Does this work for any JB based rom? or only for aosp roms? Id like to switch to touch wiz JB based roms from ICS. Flash is the only reason why ive stayed with ICS
Just our luck that when we need to find a video that requires flash for testing purposes, we can't find a one. LoL

There is a point to that, Flash is going away for HTML5. Though is Vimeo flash or HTML though?

Works for me on stock browser. If you need a testing site, try the YouTube.com desktop site from your device. It still uses flash for their videos. In browser hit menu/desktop. Thanks for posting this. It's also in the Android themes/apps section on XDA.

This flashplayer works but is there any way to stop the phone from going in to sleep mode while watching flash video? I never had this problem in ICS but when I switched to a JB rom now when the screen times out it goes off and kills the video rather than stay on the length of the video that is playing in flash. Thanks in advance for any help.
