Youtube clone kindle app hack help please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
This is for my autistic son please help.
I have a youtube clone app ( called Vtube) on my old kindle that my son uses to access youtube. Today the app seems to have big problems with the search function working and as far as I can tell its because youtube have changed the URL of the mobile version of the website. Thus finctionality has been limited on the old url.
But the URL is hard coded into this older app.
I know what the new URL is. Is there any way I can break into the app (developers no longer contactable through amazon or internet as far as I can tell) in order to change the simple URL line please?
I am really hopeful there is a developer software that will access the app, then I just need to change that one line.
Is this possible please?
My sons autism means its VERY difficult for him to change, so accessing it via a browser is a no-no sadly.
Please help.

Sorry for bumping this but I didnt know I posted it in the wrong section and then it was kindly moved by a mod but because of time is well off the front page so nobody would see it here in the right place. So just bumping sorry.

Installs and starts on the Vibrant. All features appear to work with the exception of streaming at the moment. Even without streaming, I find it to be a very useful app.
I can also confirm working on vibrant, Pretty useful. Cant wait for it to be updated with streaming video.
netflix, lol
I am more than willing to bet that all that is needed is for them to flick a switch on (if they wanted too). After installing the app, go sign into your Netflix account and check out your authorized devices. My device was identified by it being an Android device and when you click it for details, you get our phone's model number. The funny thing is that it says the word 'obsolete' by the type of device it is. I know that phones without a particular type of snapdragon won't work, but if it weren't for all this extra silly security they want, I know it would work for us, lol!
---------
BTW, the message you get after you attempt to stream: "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit netflix.com. (1005)" - Has anyone tried to call Netflix and ask them what this means? Lol, I know that I won't!
I wrote this in the other thread...
"Could the issue be related to our Vibrants not passing a DRM check? I'm pretty t I read when that a DRM check was needed to stream with Netflix (and also the upcoming Hulu app).
Maybe someone can rip out the coding the requires the check."
Maybe a mod should merge these two threads.
Not an actual working app...plus there is another thread with the same topic in General

Xml file with the app info: does it exist?

Hi guys,
not knowing where to post this request I put it here. If it's not the right place, I'm sorry.
I'm a blogger and the admin of the blog have created a shortcode that can get a lot of information from the app ID: icon, title, etc. It's really useful because it makes the filling of the box review we use faster.
Unfortunally this works only for the iPhone app because it uses the xml file.
Is there an xml file (like the one for the iPhone) we can use to do the same thing with the applications of Market? or will I, who am the only one to review apps for Android, have to complete the box manually?
I'm really sorry for my bad English but I have some problem explaining this technical issue

Error: File size is big

Hi..
I have recorded a video which i tried to send through Whatsapp but i couldn't because the size is big. Is there any APP that would re-size it or like send it into more than one file (partition it)?

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.
There is the top-secret, deeply hidden tool used by specialist companies only, like Universal Pictures, MGM, HBO Television and other professional bodies. Please DO NOT SHARE IT, because I'm now disclosing its location for your eyes only!!!!111111

I am truly sad that you had to trouble your hand in writing all of what you wrote.
I have already used Google and found several app's but it wasn't what i wanted exactly that's why i asked. I am not very sure why ur sad to help someone who of course ha looked and searched before asking!
The form and this section is for people to ask, so why you are sad again?

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .
jje
Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.

Help needed to add Google Play,Android Home Phone, Binatone iDECT iHOME3

I have posted in the XDA Assist forum, unfortunately, no-one there was able to help me, the Mod, closed the thread and redirected me to this forum.
Being lazy, this is a cut&paste of the message.
Basic Android stuff, need some help, any suggestions welcome!:fingers-crossed:

Android Home Phone, Binatone iDECT iHOME3
Hello everyone,
I need pointed to the right forum.
I recently purchased the above phone, my landphone died, this came second hand from eBay. It works perfectly, but I mainly wanted it because its Android, and I can use my Google contacts and not have to input them one by one. And because its Android!
The specs are on a photo attatched below. It is rooted with SU app installed and working.
I downloaded zipped Gapps for 2.3.5, extracted to folder, then put the folder on the ExtSD, then to IntSD.
My problem is this, it shipped with the SlideMe market, I'm trying, and failing to get Google Play sideloaded on it. There is no option to add a Google account of course, if I try to direct install, it gives the message "you need to add a google account", if I click yes, the app fc's. If I push the app to system/app, the same occurs.
I'm not the most technical Android guy, but I've been flashing etc, for a few years now, on various makes and models, but this has me stumped. I've had to flash Gapps before for ROM's, I've sideloaded apps too, but am I missing something here. What gives the extra option to add a Google account? I've done this before on a few tablets etc, never had a problem.
Where is it best to post/get some help? (and hopefully not be laughed at to hard!)
Someone posted a thread over this phone (years ago), 3 answers, nothing helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Skivit
Help me Obi-Wan, your our last hope...
Nobody has any idea, or maybe knows someone who can help me out? :crying:

Strange URLs from Playstore-Apps

Maybe this is a stupid question and I apologize in advance.
But maybe someone can direct me in the right direction.
I want to register an account with my weshare (car-sharing) app.
They authenticate via email which includes a link to the URL "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" which my browser opens (lineage 18.1 with google-apps).
Of course this fails due to "unknown url scheme" etc.
How does a stock Android handle this link? Turn it over to the right app? But how?
And if so, does a stock Android capture _every_ link I klick on?
How does this work? (normally)

There is no relation of custom ROM or stock ROM here, the link is not working. I checked it.

Hmh, this is really strange.
The support says it works on iphone and "normal" Android. (The whole Volkswagen login thing is based on this. So I really believe it works "normally") But I am also sure it does not work on _my_ lineage.... As expected my browser (any browser) opens with an error...
And this is as it should work, I think. But how does it work on all the other phones
(the support also says it _only_ works on smartphones. So there is something happening I don't understand. Something like the OS scanning the URL and passing it to the right app.)

the link doesn't work "as it is" according to the weshare-support.
It magically only works on the phone.... ( it is supposed to work there, the support tells me. )
Ahhh, after one week chatting with the support this diskussion with you gave the right hint!
As you confirmed that the OS does not interfere I had the idea that therefore somehow the browser might pass the token back to the OS somehow..... (I am not a developer)
So I installed chrome on the smartphone and "alas" it works!!!
(chrome on the PC gives xda-open... error which is a hint as well.)
So I _have_ to use Chrome :-(
I already came across the next "bug". The street I live in exists twice in this city but the app only lets me choose the first "hit". So my postal number will be wrong! WTF....
As far as I know, this specially formatted URL like "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" is called an app link or a deep link.
There are many similar deep links.
For example, some URLs as below:
market://details?id=xadave.SmartUnitConverterFree_Google
amzn://apps/android?asin=B00Q3V4VNC
......
If you enter the second deep link above in the address bar of your mobile browser, it will open up the Amazon Appstore app on your mobile device and directly link to the detail page for a specific app which is available on the Amazon Appstore.
And the first app link will open up the Google Play Store app on your Android devices and directly link to some app in the Play Store.
So, I think your app link, "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas", will link into your weshare app, too.
Android App Links are a special type of deep link that allow your website URLs to immediately open the corresponding content in your Android app (without requiring the user to select the app).
