Youtube App capped at 720p?

[mtbowl]

i have updated my post above. it should work on every rom now!

I can confirm that this works

[bluesmanuk]

this is an easy fix but please be aware that it may cause unwanted side effects!
you don´t need a modified apk at all.

added: in order to make it work, the navigationbar at the bottom of the screen has to be disabled. if you leave out the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 or if you set it to 0, no 1080p option will be available. not sure why this is.
so if you don´t want to loose the navbar, then no 1080p youtube for you, sorry. if you need a navbar, maybe you find a replacement for the built in one. i don´t like/don´t need it and disabled it anyway.

IMPORTANT: if you set the wrong permissions for build.prop, you will get a bootloop!
make sure it is set to:
0:root (owner and group), 644
before rebooting your device!


1.backup your original build.prop (located in /system) in case you need to restore
2.search for the following lines:

ro.product.model=Draco AW80
ro.product.brand=Tronsmart
ro.product.name=jaws_tvd_p1
ro.product.device=jaws-tvd-p1
ro.product.board=exdroid
ro.product.manufacturer=Allwinner

and change it to:

ro.product.model=Nexus 10
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=mantaray
ro.product.device=manta
ro.product.board=manta
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

4.you have to add this line also or it will not work: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 (add it above the line"# begin fota properties" for example)
5.save build.prop
6.(maybe optional)go to android settings>apps>youtube and clear data.
7.reboot. done!

this should work on every rom.
tested on Draco AW80 20150318 firmware

A very intriguing solution.

What do you use to navigate now that you have removed the navigation bar?

Pie controls though Gravitybox?

I just use my ipazzport airmouse, it does all i need.

navigation bar

I am using something called fullscreen +. It was like $2 and you can set apps that it ignores. Like if you want to watch kodi completely full screen. The soft buttons are set in the bottom corners and can be resized to next to nothing

Sorry for noob question, how do you set permission to build.prop?

Sorry for noob question, how do you set permission to build.prop?

you can set the permissions with a root capable file Explorer for example or search how to do it via terminal.
if you edit the file directly on the box in /System, you dont Need to worry about permissions because they wont Change.

btw. i will add today or tomorrow how to Keep the navbar, how to set 1080p as Default in yt and how to enable 1440p.

Try fullscreen+... There is a free version but you can't disable it for apps you would prefer to be in fullscreen.
