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.

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.

[Q] Unfortunately Android Keyboard Has Stopped

So I have been running CM10 nightlies since they first came out for the I9100int.
Been loving them, they seem to work really well, however last night I started getting the error, "android keyboard (aosp) has stopped working"
Fortunately I have a second keyboard to use, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this error.
I cannot seem to find much about it anywhere, so I figured Ill ask the source.
I have cleared the keyboard cache, but that doesnt make any difference.
The last time this happened I had to do a full flash and I was hoping to avoid that.
even reverting to a backup hasnt seemed to fix it, so Im not sure if my backup had the issue too.
anyways, just thought Id throw this out there for any help.
Otherwise Id like to give a HUGE thanks to all the developers with this project, I love my S2 more and more with constant updates they provide.
Go into menu/system/apps and find android keyboard asop and CLEAR DATA Then do the same for Dictionary Provider and CLEAR DATA.

On my Galaxy Note N7000 after an install of the current nightly CM10, some weeks later I get this message and the only way I can fix it is with a Factory Reset/wipe. This has happened a few times now. From the Settings app, I can get into System/Apps but there are no options like you mention above . .
It would be nice not to have to use the Factory Reset/wipe method . . is there a way of using your method on the N7000?
Thanks,
Phil.

Same problem here. I just flashed the Provision JB ROM and right away I can't use my keyboard at all. I cleared the data for the AOSP keyboard but I can't find the dictionary app.
same problem.. no dictionary provider. keyboards keeps on crashing (phone is Sk17i so bug is not related to phone itself)!
I've the same issue, even i can't type any letter !
I've cleared the data for Android keyboard ( from settings/apps.. ) , but it didn't work with me!
Also i can't find Directory provider in apps.
So, what to do?
I use SGT-P3100.

I solved it by using gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
I faced the same issue yesterday when I installed cm10. I have xperia mini pro sk17i.
After a lot of trial and error, I solved the error doing:
wiping cache partition
factory reset
installing cm10 rom
installing gapps one version older: gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip (I am new and unable to post a link, just google it.)
The main takeaway - use the older gapps and after install, update them using market. Maybe just doing this will solve the problem for you.
PS. I am using extender kernel by M66B
Even though I'm using the latest nightly for the samsung galaxy nexus I ran into this same issue. Cleared data for android keyboard but as others couldnt find the data dictionary so since I use a 3rd party keyboard anyways, I went back into android keyboard and disabled it. No more error for me, hope that helps.
The solution to this seems that the newes Gapps Version for JB is not compatible with 4.1.x. http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#20121130.
So if your using Android 4.1.2 you have to stay with gapps 20121011.
20121130 is for Android 4.2 only. In that case a bad choice to stay with JB for the new release, as this cannot easyly be seen in the name of the zip package..
If you already installed 20121130 it should be sufficient to reinstall ROM and after that gapps version 20121011. If that doen't work you need to wipe..

No luck, I needed to install a 3rd party keyboard. Strangely, the same method (flash rom+gapps) worked on a friend's phone.

It takes me two minutes to remove the root and custom rom check (as well as the other things that they check before allowing end user to use the app)
Sure he could do that, but he would have to update his code everytime the app is updated as well. (Package names change, app dev "attempting" to preform checks other ways therefore changing the code and so forth are many reasons I wouldnt think he would bother)
If you have a precaution about running an app that someone (in this case me) has modified (for any reason ) and you want to use the original application you know u can "hide root" with many third party apps, and its even possible with supersu. This way would allow you to use un altered app.
To recap, I have no problem with any additional solutions to reach the same end result. There are many ways to get the same result.

Google " error code AR/1001" and you'll find what I found .

[Q] Youtube issue under Cyanogenmod 11

I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Mega 6.3. The attached pic shows YouTube while playing a video. Can anyone please suggest what is happening here, and a fix? Other videos in other apps play just fine.
Possibly also relevant; a couple of apps that need to play mp3 or wav files, at the point of having to do so crash, bringing up an error message. I can live with that problem, but I would like to get on top of the Youtube one.
Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers.

Many thanks indeed. I'm grateful. But sadly the same problem occurs, I'm afraid. Interestingly, this afternoon I downloaded and tried a couple of YouTube alternative apps. I didn't like either because they wouldn't play full screen, however they did play video perfectly...?

Update:
I've settled on "Video Tube", which does play in full-screen and which, to be honest, I think I prefer to Youtube, so I'm happy to stick with that. But the Youtube issue is baffling, and I'd now be very interested if anyone can suggest why certain apps, at the point where they have to play wav or mp3 files, crash ...?

Thanks. As a newbie, I'm presuming "cm afaik" is another ROM? It took me two full days to settle into Cyanogenmod and set up all my preferences, tweeks, etc. I'm not ready to face all that again just yet!
No. Afaik as in as far as I know....
If you are already running cm ROM, you just need to wipe dalvik/cache to update. You will not lose your data or settings...

Many thanks. I'll look for a tutorial on how to do that.
Process is very simple. Download ROM. Download gapps of your preference though I suggest banks core. Reboot to recovery. Wipe dalvik/cache only. Flash rom followed by gapps. Reboot.

Thanks again, but I have to remind you that although I'm computer literate I'm completely new to flashing phones. I have no idea what "gapps" are, so how will I know which I prefer?! And "Banks core" is Greek to me, I'm afraid!
And surely if I "Flash ROM followed by gapps", that entails then re-loading all my apps and data again, which I really don't want to have to do?
I'll leave it for now, but I'm grateful for your help nevertheless. Cheers.
That's ok, but trust me when I say that you will not lose any data.
Gapps is Google Apps. Banks core is a gapps pack made by an xda user BaNkS. You will find it here. I like to flash just the core package which contains only Google playstore & Google play services. All other google apps i need, I download from play store.
This is just for your info...

Thanks again. I'm certainly interested to learn all of this. I just don't want to learn by messing up all my settings, or worse still bricking my phone, in the process, that's all!
So what exactly IS the dalvik/cache? Are you saying that I could boot into recovery, wipe the dalvik/cache and then come out again, and my setup, data, settings, etc would all still be fine? In which case, would it be a good idea for me to do that? What does wiping the dalvik/cache achieve?
