Did you try some like chrome or firefox?
After a app is minimized, its paused (onPause() method) by the android os. The only parts of the app who continue running are services, which get used for e.g. a music player. But I think the resources such a service can use are strictly regulated, barely enough for a mp3 or a download. Playing a movie in the background won't be possible for a browser, I think.
Hope that helps you! Please correct me if I'm wrong!

thank you
so canyou suggest me about way to do this?(not pvstar+)
Solved..
1. Download Maxathon browser from the playstore.
2. Hit the app button when your in the browser.
3. Scroll over to the right when your in the pop up menu until you find UA.
4. Change it to desktop.
5. Then go to the same menu where you will find options and go to Browser settings.
6. In that sub menu go to "Flash on Demand" and hit "always on".
7. Navigate to the youtube website and play your video of choice.
8. Then hit the app button again and open another tab.
Once your in that tab you can press the home button and go about your business and multitask your phone like it was made for
BTW a simple search would have solved that for you. I copied this from androidforums

Okay I found another way
1. Download TubeMate from the Playstore.
2. Enjoy
When you press the home button the video will be still running in the background The app just works like that.
P.S: I found this app by luck and then I remembered that someone asked about that on XDA so I came back to your thread to tell you about that app. Cheers

I think you have downloaded the wrong app. when I checked the playstore the app wasn't there!
Download it form their website: tubemate.net
The apps works for me perfectly on my HTC One X.

Hey guys just wanted to share this with everyone in case no one knew this. You can change the default setting on your browser so it doesn't show the mobile sites all the time. To do this type in the browser address bar about: debug then press go. Nothing will happen but then go to settings and scroll all the way down til u see UAString. Click that and you will see ALL the options it gives you, like iphone, desktop, ipad, android ect. Hope this helps!!

Didn't work for me. I've done this for my tablet and that worked fine. Just to confirm, I should type "about: debug", correct?
Yes u it NO SPACE them click go. Dont get out of the browser and click settings and scroll allllll the way to the bottom

ahh, getting rid of the space worked. Thanks.
No problem!

Confirming that it works in Maxtron browser as well.

This works, thanks for the post. One thing I notice is that if you reboot your phone, or if you end the Browser task, you need to re-do about:debug for it to load the custom UA again.

yes I can confirm that after you end the browser you have to redo it.
Is there a way to make the user agent string stick so we don't have to keep changing it back after a reboot or closing the browser completely? This browser is forcing mobile sites with no way to get the full site unles the website has a link for desktop version on their page. This and the fact there's no way to go directly to my home page using menu just sucks.
hey guys!
sorry for that noobish question, but how can i watch flash videos on my 3VO?
for example, try this:
http://www.chilloutzone.net/video/geometrie-der-natur.html
i cant watch it...
Download flash player from the market. That be my first guess.

Go into page on your phone, then go into your browser settings and turn off Mobile View. That will cause the site to think that a PC is accessing the video and will play just fine. You may need to refresh the page.

Thanks

Same here. I want it done without rooting. Or at least push SS to make it optional from next build. drives me crazy!!
Me too, i'm trying to disable in setting but nothing can stop it. I know it can't stop if root but i don't want
Sorry Peeps, this has been asked in a similar thread a couple days ago
[Q] Home Key Double Press / Tap
All answers require rooting
Just ONE of the MANY advantages of rooting

Any chance of doing this without having to edit "\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManage" or use a theme?

Anyone running ICS can easily remove voice talk (Vlingo) by installing go launcher from the market, go to apps drawer ,long press on voice talk,hit delete, Vlingo gone....uninstall go launcher..done! No rooting required.

Brilliant! I hate this app. I always seemed to double press Home by accident. I use Go Launcher anyway, and somehow didn't think to try uninstalling Voice Talk
yeah!

just delete the apk file from system/app
after I updated to jb when I search for example for a youtube video or google play app and click the link it doesnt open the respective app instead it opens the links in the browser.
any idea?
You've set default values for some apps. Go into App Management, find Internet, click on it, and then click "Clear Defaults". You should then be prompted for which application you want to open certain types of link with the next time you click on one.

I read somewhere, that's because of Apple patents. Not 100% about the info though.

I have the same problem. It's didn't work since JB upgrade.
Very annoying when you click youtube link in twitter and it's open in browser instead of native app.
BTW, it's obvious problem with only stock browser.
If you open link in Chrome or Dolphin you still have a choice to open in native app.
I will try to revert to ICS stock browser and see what happen.
Up ! I have this problem too... If someone can help us
Well, bad news.
ICS Samsung stock browser not working on JB ROM, FC all the times.
I think we should learn to live with it now, don't think they'll fixed it soon.
Please use the official version of @yuliskov instead of my mod:

I hereby discontinue support for my Fire TV Guides and Apps. I've been a big fan of Fire TV devices for the last 2-3 years, but Amazon has now with each firmware further limited the possibilities of a configurable Android environment and even destroyed standard Android commands. This goes too far for me now.
I can recommend the following devices to anyone who wants to have a reasonable and much better Android TV experience, which I now use myself and am enthusiastic about:
Mi Box
Mi Box S
Sony Android TV (ATV3 platform, eg. XF7, XF8, XF9 or higher)
Very nice, I have been seeing a lot of requests for this!

There is no error message. When I highlight the 'head' (account) button, or actually any of the left-most buttons, such as the right arrow button, file button or the head/account button, left side, then appears a 'Sign In" button in the center of the screen. When I tap on the 'Sign In', the app exits to the FireTV3 desktop.
If I go to the Settings button, left bottom when Youtube app is on screen, I can select "link with Wifi", . . . with TV code, but then I must go to my phone and open the YouTube app. If I use the phone method, it will work but only as long as the phone is on and 'linked'.
I have 'reset' the app, from within the YouTube settings menu, and that has no benefit.
App version is 4a5b8f63, device TV(Platform_detail-atv) . . . Android (7.1.2)

I'm afraid the app won't work under Fire OS 6. If you could create a logcat dump which includes the crash, I can have a look at it again.
Alternatively, try the latest Amazon YouTube app which shows a warning at the beginning, but then works as usual.
View attachment YouTube-2.0.58.0.apk
Or you can use this YouTube for Android TV app, so you can connect to your mobile phone via TV code without being logged in and use the app via smartphone (select, play, stop, etc.). However, you always have to start the app on the Fire TV first, then you can operate it with your mobile phone. An autostart and sign in doesn't work with this app without Google Play Services, but everything else works.
