For the first time I get ads on the home screen. Ads that try to hook me up with women. LOL. @giosaxda, you say that Vanced is not supposed to have ads but the one thing folks seem to forget is that the blocking of Home ads is labeled Experimental. That word alone means no guarantees.
As long as there are no ads in the videos then Vanced is doing its job.

Just like watching tennis

It's like watching a tennis match in here! "when's the next update?" - "update isn't needed!", "when's the next update?" - "update isn't needed!"... ping, pong, ping, pong. Let's agree to disagree already :D

My opinion: an update would be nice but our lives don't depend on it. My personal stance on the new advertising method: in the spirit of community and the much beloved Vanced YT, it is their moral goal to make an effort to eliminate any form of advertising within YT. To be very clear: that implies no obligations! Everything here is provided as-is. It's just what users could/would/will expect. I hate any form of ads but I do disable my adblocker(s) on websites/services which have content that is valuable to me. YT is an exception on that matter because, even though it provides valuable content, Big G is making Big B's with analytics on the side.

Hi, in previous yt apps one could tap on the progress bar to skip backwards, forwards or go to any point in the video directly. In its previous update, yt had broken this feature.
Now yt has fixed it again with its latest update.
Could Vanced be please updated to the latest yt to fix the feature of tapping on the progress bar to go directly to a particular point in video?
Thanks.
I've discussed this issue with another user very recently (try searching for it, it's good practice) but we failed to determine a root cause. It does not happen on my device (video navigation works as expected) but does seem to be a problem for you guys. Thanks for reporting it. Perhaps Vanced team will take note of it (if they ever provide another update).

I'm not sure what you're getting at but the latest version is like a hundred years old! Jokes aside, it should recall settings. If you're talking about the Magisk module, could you please repeat your problem in the Magisk module thread of Vanced? If not, reply here and mention some version information. Always mention version information.

Is the source code for this app available anywhere? I'm hoping to at least update the code to work in my own device.

i found that like button is the same no matter you liked the video or not.
it's somewhat inconvenient.
i haven't search thru all the 1207 pages of posts but it's the only issue i encountered.
thanks for the effort btw.

Just a suggestion - have you tried the non root version? You'll need to install the relevant version of microg then install the VYT.
If I'm not wrong, you should be able to run non root with rooted/Magisk VYT alongside since it's recognised as a separate app.

Just for comparison.

Apologies if you feel I'm sending you on a wild goose chase.

To those of you complaining about ads and asking for an update......

If you had used the search function you would have found out that Vanced is supposed to block ads on videos and that that home screen ad is a design issue, can't be fixed because this is a modded PROPRIETARY app and not based on source code, so you should blame Google for it and not the Vanced team.

magisk/root have issues with occasionally being automatically updated to the latest unmodded youtube if not detached properly.
non-root has issues with some apps not recognizing it as a YouTube app and failing to open/play YouTube videos with it.

Aah, ok... Thank you. Now I use Sudohide Xposed module succesfully to hide Vanced from Playstore :)

    Mod Edit├┤Closing note. YouTube Vanced lives on in ReVanced (not affiliated with Vanced)├

    ‼️Before asking or posting anything, please read the first and second posts.‼️

    Always check the official Vanced website or XDA thread when downloading. Other sites are fake, contain advertisements (possibly even malware), and have older versions.

    Vanced Banner-01-01.png

    Vanced is a well-known modded version of the YouTube app with many features such as ad-blocking and background playback. Vanced also offers some extra features to enhance the user experience. The entire list is available below:

    Features:



    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

    Since YouTube v14.41.52, Google has moved to split APKs format. The Android package installer doesn't support Split apks yet, so we are now using Vanced manager for installing all vanced apps. The steps to use the vanced manager are below:
    Especially for MIUI, there's a separate guide that can be accessed using this link. For all other devices, please follow below:

    For Non-Root:
    1. Install Vanced Manager
    2. Open Vanced Manager and tap the blue arrow in the lower right corner.
    3. Begin installing Vanced microG. (Without which you won't be able to install Vanced (or Music Vanced) or use login)
    4. Then install Vanced (or Music Vanced), log in to your account and enjoy!
    For Root:
    1. Install Vanced Manager
    2. Open Vanced manager and tap on the "Magisk" icon to grant root permissions.​
    3. Once you are in, begin installing Vanced (or Music Vanced).​


    Important information:

    • We replaced our root installation with vanced manager, which directly mounts vanced on top of Youtube in the /data/app directory, making it easier and faster than before.
    • Vanced will not block ads while casting since when you use the casting feature, it doesn't send the video from your phone to the Chromecast/TV. Instead, your phone acts like a remote controller for the youtube app in your Chromecast/TV. That is why the advertisement is displayed.
    • Purchasing items in the non-root version of the app will not work as microG doesn't support it. Hence, it is preferable to use the original YouTube app or using the web version for any purchase.
    • If your videos are lagging or the application starts to crash while watching live videos, please enable VP9 codec from codec override present under vanced settings. Google forced the ExoPlayer v2, which is highly experimental and unstable on unsupported devices.
    • YouTube has dropped support for Android 5 (Lollipop) with v17.xx.xx. Hence, the minimum supported version is now Android 6 and above.


    Known bugs:

    • Swipe down gesture for refreshing home feed breaks randomly. It's an issue with litho that only Google can fix. There's nothing we can do to fix it. (Tap here to learn more)
    • As of v16.16.38, casting won't work due to an upstream microG bug. (Tap here to learn more)
    • On portrait/vertical videos, preferred quality options do not work.
    • Swipe controls triggers when swiping either upwards or downwards to scroll through description or in live chat when in landscape mode.
    • On new action bar layouts(server-sided feature), the new toggles won't work.
    • Info cards toggle is broken (Temp fix: Disable it through your Google account settings. This setting disables info cards everywhere.)
    • App crashes with java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError while playing some video outside of vanced.
    • Manual codec override is broken and very experimental.
    • Some users might face geographical ads on YouTube Shorts tab.
    • SponsorBlock segments at the end of videos in playlists causes playback on the next video to start where the previous one ended.

    BUG Reports:


    Steps to do before reporting a bug:
    1. Do a search and see if it has already been reported
    2. Check that the bug is actually a Vanced bug and doesn't happen in the original YouTube.
    Steps to do when reporting a bug:
    1. Make sure you are being enough descriptive of the problem.
    2. Take a logcat (Google search if you don't know how). Especially if the issue is a crash.
    3. Taking pictures of the problem doesn't hurt.
    4. If the report is vague (missing information), it will most likely just be ignored. If you are not going to show any effort in resolving the problem, why should I?
    Bug report template:
    1. Vanced exact version number (Do NOT say latest).
    2. Download link used to download Vanced.
    3. Installation method (whether user SAI or Vanced Manager)
    4. Device.
    5. ROM (optional may not help).

    New site up https://vanced.azurewebsites.net/ with latest version of YouTube as base (13.10). Includes some bugfixes and other changes detailed on discord. At the time of writing this post apkmirror lacks apks for arm so you will have to wait a while until it has them and then we will be able to make arm root builds.
