Hi, XDA. This is my first thread at the forums.
I've always been able to watch YouTube videos from my Incredible S, but since i flashed, and upgraded from HTC Sense to MIUI V5, I haven't been able to even visit YouTube's own website with Chrome, Firefox, default browser, and not even the actual YouTube application by Google themselves.
I haven't modified the ROM in any way, and one of the first things I tried to do when I got the rom, was to watch a YouTube video.
Since I don't have 10 posts yet I can't post links, but if you Google "miui v5 incredible s" it's be the first link you find.
What can be causing this, and is YouTube somehow blocked with this custom rom?
I'm really not wanting to change my ROM because I love MIUI V5!
Thank you for your help, and patience.
I had some issues with apps not connecting (Facebook, YouTube...) when I tried this rom.
I fixed it by deleting all the lines in the host file using a file explorer with root access, then reboot.
If this doesn't help, well like someone would probably say : use search function in MIUI thread.
Good luck !

I have done the Market fix several times already and have fixed most of the missing app problems, except the voice and video plugin for yahoo IM. I always get the "requested item could not be found" message when i try to update the app. I cannot run the IM apk without the plugin. Can someone please send me or upload the 1.4 version? Thanks
Also if you must ask i have used other IM apps that allow you to chat etc but have not found one other than the official app that allows you to do voice and video plus send and receive files. Ps. I also used the search bar with no success.
I am having the same problem. It will be great if someone could post the apk file.
Thanks.
Read this and try it, it might for you also.

Remember to do the regular fix after making the changes.
I tried the steps in the thread you pointed out. But that doesn't fix the problem. I posted a reply in that thread and I will quote it here also

I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. This is what I did
1. Mounted /system are rw
2. Modified the lines ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device
3. Remounted /system are ro
4. Started Android Market and browsed around a bit
5. Chose Settings->Applications->Running Services
6. Under the Running tab I can see 'Market' and 'Google Services' but not 'Google Services Framework'. . I can see it under 'All' tab.
7. I followed rest of the steps instructed in the youtube video rcgabriel pointed out in the initial post.
What should I run to see 'Google Services Framework' under the 'Running' tab? Could that be the reason for the fix not working for me?
Thanks.

I tried both Vegan Gingerbread and GHarmony Gingerbread roms. Is there any rom which I should give a try, where this is known to work?
Thanks.

If you have an android phone download YM with that and then use Bluetooth file transfer also in the market for free on both your gtab and android phone then use that app to send the app from your phone to the gtab..
I would upload the app for you but I don't have my tablet with me to bounce the app from phone to tab to here.
That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have attached the yahoo_messenger and plugin apk if someone wanted them.
Glad I could help!
Thanks to you both! Downloaded and it works great!
stock rom
will the posted apk's work on the stock rom? I have version 1.3.2 (both the ym and the video plugin), but the video icon shows up disabled. Is this a newer version? Thanks!
Yes, it is a newer version (1.4).

I had force close errors every time I initiated video. I downloaded your Video apk and it fired up first time. Thanks for posting. Really helped a lot.

I installed CM 7.0.3 last Friday, I'm beginning to see more and more apps that say "installed" (from earlier) but trying to re-push them to my phone they now grey out my HTC Hero on Sprint saying the device isn't compatible.
I have the feeling this is an issue of the market assuming my HTC is stock and the newest builds of the apps are not compatible. Is there a way to indicate I'm using Android 2.3.3 so I can have Google Maps back?
I was able to get my Google Music beta as a .apk from someone and it installed fine manually and works great but was another just as above that wouldn't work through the market.
Hey I am having the same problem with the market not recognizing my hero. I am actually just looking for the google music beta app, =P so if you had a link I would appreciate that vmuch.
Look here

Or here

Might be what's effecting you. ""Might""

There is a copy of the music.apk but I believe you need to have the invite from Google Music Beta first before it will work. I had mine, loaded on PC went to my phone and was as I described above. Got the file from someone and loaded logged in and it works perfectly.
Thank you, I will try the links above
I would say that yes, that is affecting me, but I can't be the only one with a handset that wasn't designed to be running Gingerbread but is obviously compatible.
With all of the ROM community support of aging devices seems there must be a work around for this that is going to start to become a larger problem.
Making sure I make backups of my apps from now on seperately from my CWM recovery backups.
To get Google Music from the market, you have to edit your build.prop file. The instructions are in another thread. A simple search will find it.

change your buid.prop to say device is a "DROIDX", & youll have access to even more apps, & the google music app is in the cdma hero section for download, use the search
just cnanging the banner to droid x wont do it the apps that arnt available for are made for hdpi devices and tablets so when u try and instsall them itll say parse error
In your build.prop located in /system change your ro.opengles.version value from 65536 to 131072. So your end product looks like this: ro.opengles.version=131072
Can you edit that file with an app, or do you need to use adb? I tried using es file explorer but no dice, it's probably in use by the system eh?
Edit: forgot to enable root permissions for it...derp.

Yesterday I upgraded my Tab to ICS 4.0.4 a total of 157MB update which apparently seemed cool and a bit faster but has plenty of problems...
1. It does not play any video's in browser e.g. from youtube or daily montion, etc... (I even tried dolphin HD but still same) seems like some plugin
2. Browser crashes plenty of time
3. Some Apps stuck while loading.
If there's any solution to it please post, i really appreciate your concern.
Or shall i downgrade to older version but how???
I think n°1 has to do with the fact that Flash Player is not supported anymore from Adobe. So you won't be able to play those videos ever again my friend, sorry to say so.
As for the others, I don't have a clue.
However, could you consider this message from isi : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30852516&postcount=117 ?

First things first you probably should have not posted this in dev, This a General Question, so probably should have gone their or posted in the ICS update thread. :good:
On issue number two and three, have a look at logcat, ie the log of how thinks work in android. You view your log by installing Android SDK.
Then go to command prompt and cd to folder of where you installed the \SDK Folder\platform-tools
type: adb logcat
it will output a lot of text, look for errors regarding the app that is not loading. Best would probably to output text into a file and opening the file.
like this:
adb logcat >> logcat.txt
After a few second press ctrl-c
Then open with a decent texteditor, not Notepad, like Notepad++

Thanks Danny,
If you want and are willing you can go back to stock 3.21 by first flashing 3.01 via ODIN, you know how to use ODIN?, if not let us know we can help, then update to 3.2.1 then root. Then wait for update again which should happen immediately I guess then fellow my instructions in post mentioned by Danny. Everybody here would be extremely grateful. :laugh:

Hi,
Android 2.1 doesn't support the newest facebook app, and you can't really use Facebook in a webbrowser because of too old certificates in 2.1 (You will get certificate errors). Try:
1. Read much articles about rooting, flashing, moding and and and...
2. Search online for a user-friendly rooting guide for the X8
3. Root phone
4. Search for a user-friendly guide for installing ClockworkMod on your device
5. Install ClockworkMod
6. Search a stable and fast Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) ROM which will work on stock kernel (for example: GingerDX)
7. Install it via CWM (Read in the ROM thread how to flash it)
8. Make sure your date is right
9. Search for Facebook in Google Play
Good luck, Androthan

Hello
Yesterday I finally decided to mess up with my phone, and I've installed miniCM v5.1 ROM + GAPPS from the proper topic here on forums and modified kernel which boosts my phone's clock to 825MHz. Everything works marvelous, phone is responsive like never etc, but the problem is Youtube isn't working.
I've tried installing GAPPS again, I've reinstalled YT again, I've also tried downloading Flash 11, but it says it's not compatible with my device, so I installed it manually from *.apk file. It installed correctly, but still YT doesn't work. It's not like it doesn't work at all, there is no video/sound. I can see all comments and information, but movie window has error message saying the "problem occured while trying to play" or something. And it happens for every movie I tried.
I am using: miniCM v5.1 + GAPPS provided in link in proper topic, NOPE Kernel v2.6 825MHz.
I will be very thankful for any help you guys can provide.
Also thanks for warrior1208 for his work with miniCM, Hasoon2000 for awesome app that made possible for me to install this stuff and me4488 for providing us overclocked Kernels

The problem ain't with the gapps or rom, youtube is not included in gapps provided in minicm 10 forum...

Well, I'm really lookinf forward to the next update you stated that is going to be released later in march. I'm using your ROM because it has everything I need to customize my phone. One suggestion I'd like to give: a dialpad is too large, if you try to put first letters (T9 method of looking for contact) it shows only 1 record and then you have to expand the list manually and chose proper contact you wish to dial. Would it be possible to make this dialpad smaller, like native android dialpad which is used to type?
The only things I've installed to your rom was ES File Explorer which replaces CM file explorer, and ClockQ for clock on home screen. I'm still looking for better music player tho, Apollo doesn't seem to be well designed, I wish I could use stock HTC Player as I did on Sense. Also you could consider adding AppHider tool to be preinstaled which would help a lot of people to hide unneeded icons from the Drawer.
I also don't like having two launchers installed. I'm using the Trebuchet 0.2 at the moment as I didn't like the other one very much. You should stick with one in my opinion. I wish Trebuchet had some more options tho, like modifying the unlock button orientation on the ring :S
Anyway, thanks a lot, I'm finally happy with my Desire, no freezes and everything seems so smooth. I will try to donate after I get my payment, but it won't be very much as I live in quite poor country

Adding things like apphider would make the rom sluggish... I would try to change the dialer and the apollo music player is the default cm10 player...

Confirmed, I've checked a lot of *.APK and found out that most recent working in my case is version 5.2.27.
