This isn't going to help you recover the app but the new optimized mobile site for You tube is way better than the app. m.youtube I don't use the app anymore just added the shortcut icon than takes me straight to the that site. Perhaps give that a try and see how you like it.
I've been tying to use that site and i get an error when i try to watch a video... i assumed that the site is tying to load the videos through the youtube app, which isn't their. So that's why i've been trying to reinstall the app. I also figure, when 2.2 comes ill be fine streaming from the youtube desktop site, but i would like figure this out now if possible.
I doubt doing a factory reset would help. I uploaded my youtube.apk for you. Just unzip and the apk is in there. I have the droid1 but it should be the same.
i think that might work if it was a droid x youtube.apk becuz when i tryed to install it in my systems apps on my phone it says"there is a problem parsing package"
Is the youtube app censored? I can type in certain words on the youtube mobile/full site and get hundreds of vids and I type it in the exact same thing in the youtube app and I get zero results.
My problem is i deleted the app. I believe corinacakes had the right idea for me, but it wasn't the droid x app. So if anyone has that apk for droid x and could get it to me how corinacakes did that would be great.
