Modded YouTube widget - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Is it possible to make the YouTube widget display videos of a playlist rather than recommended videos and front page crap? Am I the only one that wants something like this?
Please some developer/modder help me out here. Thanks

yes please that would be awesome! I have been thinking that for a while now and such a cool widget would get used if you had a way to sync your subscriptions instead of the crap that is there.

[q] youtube app?

okay is there a way to just use youtube but not having the screen on sometimes i just want to listen not view and the only way this is possible it to have the screen on is there a app or such to do this???
Not that I have seen. As it is, it is not part of AOSP so it is difficult to modify. Youtube is for video's so it's not really meant for what you want it to do.
why not just go to the desktop youtube site?
I've never tried but I don't think the video will stop playing if you lock the screen.
maybe even the new mobile youtube site, just give it a shot.

Live Wallpaper

Does anyone know if a wallpaper is available that allows you to apportion areas of the screen to launch an app, ie an office background, touching the clock opens the clock app, the desk opens your office app, etc? I assume it's possible with live wallpapers that interact with touch?

I don't think you can do this with a wallpaper/live wallpaper, but you can do it by using Desktop Visualizer. (In the Market)
Once you've download the app, you can use the DVRSizeConfigTool (in the Market) and the Image-Crop tool to create a cool looking portioned out screen with different widgets. It's kind of hard to explain, but once you watch the video, you'll see what I'm talking about. The process is pretty confusing, but I was able to do it using a tutorial on YouTube. I hope this is what you were thinking of..
Edit: I don't have enough posts to be able to post links, but if you PM me, I will send you the link to the YouTube video tutorial. You can also search "How To Use DVR Image Crop - Desktop VisualizeR" in YouTube and the video is by 'biipub'.
Look at "Launcher Wall" in the market.
I haven't actually used it, but it can launch apps apparently.
Thanks guys, I think either one of these will suit, just gonna have to pick which one....

Video HIghlights

For the life of me I can't find the name of the apps here, though I thought I saw it. Is there an app that can make highlight videos from pictures, just like how the HTC One series does?
Have you tried auto awesome movies on googles photo app? Magesto is another I've tried that works well.
I'll give Magesto a try, thanks! It seems that Google wanted the photos to be backed up using Google+ before it would make the video highlights, which I didn't want to do just yet.
Magisto looks great! But it's not free. Time to try the Google one.
These both seem to be cloud based; every time I want to create or change something it has to download them. Is there one that can use the photos on my device? I never realized how well HTC nailed this until now.

YouTube full screen?

I've seen several videos of people getting YouTube in full screen on their mix, how is it possible? I still got the black bezel thing on top and bottom, in full view mode? :/
No one knows?

Could you link to one of those videos? As far as I know, this is not possible. You have to either download videos first, and stretch it with a videoplayer, or you can parse the youtube link through one of those download services, then paste it in a player to stream it. Not a seamless experience exactly.
People say you can use certain web browsers (like uc browser, opera etc.) to open web videos in an external player, but I can't find the option in any of them. Maybe they have removed this option in later updates. I remember I could do it long ago. Doubt it will do youtube videos anyway. You get this sense that everyone wants to force you to use their own integrated player alone.
Anyone else who can point to a browser that can open videos externally? Just regular web videos?
Morning, about youtube, I like to ear movies as well but there is the touch issues... with SONY I have a smart app able to lock the screen from un-accidental touch, did we have app alike here?
Cheers,
Work with this modded APK:

You can do it without root on every video on Youtube !
Just activate the "Magnification gesture" setting and then triple tap whenever you want to "zoom in" a Youtube video,it will still crop a little part of the video to make it full screen if the ratio is not the same though.
Just install YouTube Vanced Rootless APK and the modded MicroG Google Service APK.
This gives you ad-free YouTube, background playback and full zoom to fit support.

Thanks man! Was using ogyoutube but this one is better.
You're welcome. This, retroarch with 2:1 ratio setting, moonlight with screen stretch setting and Netflix make for a brilliant multi purpose gaming and movie consumption device, as all of them will display content full screen.
