Did you search the miui ROM thread? And have you asked in there?
That would be the best (and correct) place to start.

Well it is a release thread, so I prefer to keep that one clean. Therefore I chose the QnA. I have searched there but there are only reports about green videos not about the app itself.

You may get an answer in here, but that thread is the correct place to ask. As per forum rules you shouldn't start a new thread to ask questions relating to another thread. You're not supposed to start development threads unless you're releasing, but discussion in them is correct.
Anyway, have you tried taking the youtube app off your Galaxy Tab? That should work with it, unless there's something incompatible with the miui ROM, in which case you're back to the ROM thread again.

I suppose one of your other devices is rooted?
On the rooted device go to /data/app and copy com.google.androi.youtube-2.apk to your pc. You can do this with either root explorer or a similar app, or with adb.
Then copy it to the internal storage of your galaxy s 2 and place it in /data/app and overwrite everything, use root explorer, or similar, and remember to activate r/w. You can also use adb push for this.
Please tell me if this works. Otherwise I would recommend, as always, backup, not youtube ofcourse , wipe everything and install again.
Oh, and don't mind the thread, as you can see it already is a horrible mess over there...

Use the MIUI backup, wipe everything, redownload (could be a bad download) and reflash MIUI, check market for youtube, if it isn't there tell me and I'll grab the youtube apk from my phone running MIUI.

Thanks for the help guys I will give it a try this evening and will report back with the result
EDIT: will be for this evening, couldn't find the time yesterday

The full wipe didn't work nor did the root explorer way. Keep getting FC's. Had this problem on miui for the desire as well...
Could this be country specific my mate had the same problem on his desire with miui...
Only thing left to try is seshmaru's way

Unzip youtube.7z to /data/app, give it the correct permissions and reboot the phone.
Cheers

Try and use galnetmiui. YouTube will work with galnetmiui. No offence to the other miui's but they ain't no where near as good and stable as galnet's

[Q] How to change stock browser to xoom one(3.2.2)?

Try to replace it and set the right permission and ownership but got me FC trying to open it. Any suggestions?

You are trying to use stock browser of xoom one on your galaxy tab?
What android version is running on your galaxy tab?
yes. I am using task's "kiss my face"-p7510jkkj1. This rom is fantastic, it do not have video playback issues like newer US version does. However it keeps everything unchanged as what they are in original rom. As I recall, the xoom browser(3.2.2) should be smoother, that's why it has been used as a replacement in some custom roms(taskgalaxy, or overcome). I took the browser from those roms and tried to replace it by myself but no luck. Just wonder if there is anything else I need to do besides the method I mentioned in OP.
I think I found the solution:
Besides the process described in OP, I need to delete the browser related files in /data/data/, as well as the one in dalvick-cache. p.s. 3.3.2 browser is indeed much smoother .

[Q] Some apps not showing up on certain roms?

I have noticed that on some roms (Mostly AOSP, as CM 7.1) some of my purchased apps do not show up as downloadable. When I search for them, they're also gone...
Why is this happening? It seems that some apps are locked out from the CM version of the market. How do I fix this? I would really like to use CM 7.1, but what does it matter if I can't install all my favorite apps?
Just installing APK's from file manager is NOT a solution, I want to know how to show them permanently inside the market.
I have seen the same issues, maybe someone could help

Same issues with some apps just not appearing in the market on some roms?
Maybe the ROM/Phone info the Market is getting isn't compatible with the apps you're trying to download. Have you tried if Market Enabler lets you download them?

I thought that Market Enabler lets you choose a different provider. That's not the problem. I can do it on CheckROM, but not on CM 7.1. I will try it out to see if I'm wrong.

Instead of all this, can you tell me where I can get a fast, good performing ROM (It has to be good at 3D) that actually works correctly with the market?

I'm with Hypedroid and its going pretty good atm, but I don't know if I have the same issue as you're having without knowing which apps are the one not showing in market. You can also try to install Chainfire3D driver to improve games.

Thanks for the tip
Simple solution .
Download apps on a rom that works .
Copy apps to a folder on your external sd card .
install your custom rom and then install the apps .

Hi
unfortunately it's not availiable on my market either by searching or browsing developer.
YouTube - Google Play link
In case it says "This item is not compatible with your device", check the attachment.
Also, you could install other gapps zip, for example: GAPPS 4.0.4 from [ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview
Thanks a million. I tried the link and it told me the unit was not compatible with the device altough the unit is exactly the same as the one where is says that it is compatible. Unfortunately it doesn't send the app to my unit.
I tried your apk and it seems to be made for smartphone with the app being scaled and no video wall on startup.
Either way thank you very much. Do you know whicb gapp to aim for in order to have the youtube.apk? I followed their guide and it only gave me one downloaf option.
edit : i just re-read your post and you did in fact suggest a version of gapps. thanks again
I tried the one from gapps and it force closes as soon as I tap on a video.
What ICS ROM are you using and what method did you used to install YouTube from the GAPPS zip?
I have the same problem. Aokp build 27 + gapps = no youtube.
Market -> youtube incompatible.
Had Youtube Remote (also from Google if you don'y know it) in my Titanium Backup (on the market is incompatible too) and it works fine.
Got to use "pinch" to go fullscreen, took a bit to find out.

[Q] Flash player on CM9 Beta

Just wondering if anyone has got adobe flash player to work on CM9 Beta? I'v been trying around with pretty much every version avalible. I have not seen much about it in the CM9 Beta dev thread. I hope people dont take this as an attempt to be pushy about it, I'm just wondering how to progress is going. The CM9 Beta from zeubea is very much appreciated and I'm very thankful for it.
It will not fully work but you can still install it.

Okey, which version is that? 10.1, 10.2, 10.3? Cause 11 will never work right.

Here's how I make mine work :
Install 10.3 apk, which is actually flash 11. After installing don't open just reboot.
You will find flash setting in your app drawer. Just do whatever setting suits you
Flash will work only on the stock Google browser. I tried with opera next it dun work.
Now just go to bbcsports football and try. It works all the time for me.
It works, don't get me wrong but it doesn't work well. Flash videos on the internet lag like a ***** to the point where it is unplayable. I'm using version 11 (or so it says)

I did what you said ndmuni and it's still not working.
I downloaded it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340773 which I thought should be the right version.
The app said 10.3 not 11 as Stevemotto mentioned.
I then uninstalled and tried from the same thread I found the first one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23663364&postcount=28
That one said 11.v11.0.1.153 in the app.
Still the same result.
I tested BBCSports football with the original browser and the result has always been it tells me to download adobe flash player and it links me to adobe saying
I got the wrong verison.
It's really hard for me to give this one up as I know that some live streams I watched before worked fine with another rom, and when you guys says it works for you.
I would really appreciate if you guys can link me the page where you downloaded your version. It would help me narrow down the possible factor that I might still have the wrong version.
Thanks for helping me out.

Hey guys, as zeubeas rom is still in beta0 and there is still some issues with the 2D drivers (something to do with debug), plus most of codecs are still broken, I have also tried most of the versions of flash available with out much success. These issues I suggest could also be related to cm9 itself, from what I've seen our ics is ported from an RC anyway and not from a stable version. Hopefully this is a fixable issue, and not one of those non fixable issue.

Hey I installed the miui photon 4g and I'm having some issues. Well first I wanna say that I love this rom. But back to my problem, I've been noticing that my web browser, youtube, facebook, instagram would close on their own. I've also flashed the beats mod on my phone but when it finish and reboots everytime i open music i get music player has stopped and i start hearing like a beeping noise so i'd flash back to before i had it installed, i've tried different versions and i get the same results. Then today the phone just died and when i stuck it back on the charger it said i had no battery left when just a min ago i had 80% left. And another quick questions I want to know about the media gui add ons and media add on do they already come with the rom? Because it says page 9 is where i can find them but searched from page 1 to page 20 and could not find anything but the beats mod any help or anything I know i should just use the search but i just don't know where to begin to search =[ any help please?
P.S.

Flash newest version 2.6.29. Do the Aroma version (it does the wipe IN the rom). Then download and flash the Options Chooser. That has all the mods and tweaks you're looking for (SRS/Beats, etc). Those should work with this rom quite well.
PM me if you hae any issues. I don't get on Q&A very often, but I answer nearly every PM I get personally and I usually will get back to you very quickly.

No problem. I really should come on this portion more often to check out if people have any issues with my rom. As always, have a question, let me know...I am not someone who gets upset at receiving PMs
From what I've read and my experience, the Aroma version is for upgrading, the zip version is for fresh install. Important to do a full wipe including deleting the .android_secure folder on the SD card. When I've dome fresh MIUI installs using Aroma I've had updater issues and random reboots.

Odd. I've built in aroma now for 3 months and have had no such issues. O well. I still recommend aroma for installs.

Hey, whatever works! I'm by no means a MIUI expert, started using it on one of my phones a couple months back and still learning.
