The video does look better, but seems to always have the need to buffer regardless of wifi speed. Kinda of annoying..

I'm running 2.3.6. Downloaded the version that you had to rename. Used root explorer to go to /system/app and make rw then went to bottom and renamed original YouTube app to YouTube.apk.old. Went back to downloaded folder and renamed file to YouTube.apk as instructed. Copied file from there to /system/app. Went to market and got connectbot. Started app and chose local. Did ls then cd system, then cd app. ls again and saw both just copied file and original .old file. Did su then hit allow on pop up super user dialog box. Now have #. Then I: "chmod 644 YouTube.apk". Then exit then exit then yes. Reboot phone and you (I was) good to go. Saw HD in some of the video listings. It played flawlessly but I was on wifi and it pulled all the 7 megabits bandwidth I had while playing a video. I have no idea how this will work or not on 3/4g yet.

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our phone. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.

just a note, you only need the files in Hulu Plus Tit Backup Files.zip - no need to download/install the .apk separately as it's contained in the archive. Unzip/extract to /sdcard/Titanium Backup/ and restore, worked perfectly the first time (CM7 nightly 2011-7-23).

someone else (op) got me the files and i read someone else tried this a few days ago..i just harassed enough people till they gave me the files..ive been working on this for like 2 weeks..i finally got the apk 3 days ago and halfcalf was willing to give me the files. im not the best with android yet, but i will still fight to get us stuff.
you have no idea have many times i would explain i had an unsupported phone and ask for the apk and i would get the response "its in the market go download it" this is from people who knew about root too.. lol

+1 works, but if you are running Eagle Blood, it has built in ad free. Download the app from the market, then run revert to kill off the add free file, reboot and then it will work or you will get buffering:Network issues and video won't start. The Titanium backup method works perfectly
Hahahaha it works! I just commented out the ad free entries in the hosts file related to hulu. Attached is the latest hosts file from ad free with the hulu ads allowed. Just reboot into recovery, mount system, and adb push this to /system/etc.

My quality looks like 1080p video. It's awesome. Are you sure you aren't seeing it that not quite finished buffering state....It's Hulu today. For example, the Jay Leno piece with Obama is terrible. Scroll down to the ABC show...Desperate HouseWives. No I don't watch that show but look at the quality. On my setup it's 99.99999% perfect. No pixelation. Check it out
Hi, does anyone know how and where to get HD YouTube apk that works with our phone?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
try changing the phone's resolution. i've noticed that when i set mine to x720, even opera browser's interface changed. the menu is no longer a bar at the bottom but like on the upper left, if im not mistaken. and yeah, i remember youtube being crisper. look for lcd resolution at the market to set screen res.
I'm no genius on the matter, but I think you would need a phone that supports the HD resolution which currently are only a select few with ours out of the picture.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
The thing is I have the Galaxy Nexus
And it has a YouTube app. That shows the videos in HD. I know our phone doesn't have HD screen but that doesn't matter it can downscale and it will still look crisp.

The new YouTube comes part of gapps with ICS so you would need to have ICS framework most likely to make it work. The new gmail app is also like that as well.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
i guess you guys missed my point. the gnexus version might have a compatibility update just to make it work with ics. but to make youtube's hd look better our phone, we must have an hd screen or at least make the youtube app think that we do.
change your phones resolution from x480 to x720 (using lcd resolution app from the market) and youll see apps like youtube and opera browser detect your phone's res and adapt to it.
HD vids on a fake 720 res is much better than on our native x480's youtube hd vids. opera browser's interface changes just by changing the phone's res. try it and youll see what im talking about.
what it boils down to is, we need someone to make the youtube app think our screen is at least x720. that might work.

It does look the same except that they added a couple more categories like magazines and tv episodes.
well, the difference with the new play store now is that you don't have to download a whole app to update, it only downloads the parts of the app that were updated, resulting in a lower file size needing to be downloaded. also, we're on 3.7.13 now. i think it was pushed out a few hours ago.
Thanks works fine on my S3!

it's set that way for ALL phones/carriers on gtalk. the only way to remove the restriction is to edit the android.gsf file in sqlite, but as far as i've searched the normal files to edit aren't on our SGS3.

However, if I'm on mobile data and I'm trying video chatting with someone who is on their PC, it starts but then ends shortly after that and my friend's PC displays an error in their talk window that says there was a "problem with our servers".
