Stuck at the Connect to Internet screen

Alright so, after doing a system optimization on my non-rooted Samsung S8, I was shown the Connect to Internet screen on the previous version of vanced, I am unaware of what build it is, but I did not need to use a SAI to install it, I installed it from the YSK reddit and am not able to link it due to this being a new account. After getting some help I reinstalled the latest version from the Vanced.app website. I used the process it told me and followed it multiple times but was still stuck at the Connect To Internet screen.
I tried to install a previous version- 14.21.54 blue vanced and the microG-0.2.6.174.

I installed these files from the My Files app under APK and once installed I was met with the 'Vanced.app is the only offical site...' pop up, clicking dismiss or later leads to the same outcome of when trying to sign in.

A pop up that says-
Accounts +
Please check your network...
tap to retry

shows up when trying to sign in, and if I click the plus button and use my email, it says that email is already on this device. Using a fresh email leads to the Connect to Internet screen. Pressing Tap to Retry has a small loading symbol then the same pop up appear.

I tried using the Airplane mode, dismiss, airplane mode off tactic on all three builds but it did nothing. My accounts are not banned and I can use normal youtube, but that sucks and I really hate ads. I am up for anything but rooting my device to fix this problem I found myself in. I am new here and am typing this up o my phone so I am sorry for the crap formatting.

Crashes, freezing only means you have set the app wrongly. If you are new to XDA I can point you to places where you can find out about logging and reporting.

And nobody said there are no ads on homescreen. Those ads are... ohh I am very tired of explaining this. Just read and search in thread...

Sent from my Google Pixel 3a XL using XDA Labs

"Set the app wrongly"

What does that even mean?! The instructions for installing Vanced are quite simple. It works great on one phone, not on the other. If you're only here to berate people and act smugly, it's not appreciated.

And I've been on XDA since 2012, just like you. If you don't have anything useful to contribute, our conversation is done.

Is there any difference functionally, between the root and non-root version of vanced? This is under the assumption that I have no qualms with disabling APK signature verification.

the only differences are the exact installation method, and(due to differences in package name) how other apps/services interact with it.

a small amount of apps can't open YouTube links with the non-root version at all because they're hardcoded to use the "system" YouTube app.
the play store won't try to update the non-root version to the latest original version.
YouTube-specific mods/enhancements don't work with the non-root version.(although many unofficial mods/enhancements won't work with the root version either)
the non-root version isn't recognized by the Google play services, so you need vanced microG to help with that.

Thanks in advance.

Give me a break, I know what I'm doing. Your condescension isn't appreciated.

The latest non-root version is NOT stable (crashes, freezing) on my LG V20, but is very stable on my Razer Phone 2. The older Magisk module works just fine on the LG V20 however.

This is MY experience. I'm not trying to confuse anyone, I'm reporting my experience in hopes someone else might have a solution. Period.

P.S. And there ARE ads on the main feed.

I couldn't get the latest version to work either. It crashes constantly. I use a Huawei on Oreo. Back to 14.21.54 for me...

I have to say I'm impressed with the app dev, finding a way around these new obstacles. Keep up the good work!

I'm afraid not. Most detach solutions only work temporarily. There are some methods (just search this thread for 'detach') that are more efficient but they are either drastic or quite complex. You can also disable auto update completely and update apps manually (more work? lol).

A more sound solution is using the non-root version. That will not only never both you with any updates, it will also provide you with a much more recent version of YT as the Magisk distribution is discontinued and nearly a year old or so (May 2019 IIRC).

Method 2 is what I used and it seems to be working fine for over a week now.
Maybe I will try method 3 and keep you posted if i see any updates popping up.

As for deleting the app, I use it for more than just detaching YouTube it is super handy so I'll be keeping it.

Thanks a lot for it! :cowboy:

I think @Team Vanced should add your app to the op as how often is that question asked here "does anyone else get an update notification in playstore? Please fix?" :silly:

For everyone that is not running Xposed, the following app I built has been keeping YouTube updates away for a number of weeks now, successfully.

I have documented the steps in the following post.

Still using method 2 since I posted that comment and everything still works as expected. Only once during the first week of having it applied I seen an update in playstore but closing and reopening play store made it disappear again.
I think this is a very solid method of detaching vanced thanks again

    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).
    6. Any applied Substratum/swift overlays.
    7. Logs if there are any crashes/force closes (upload to Pastebin or hastebin or katbin) and paste the link of it with your report. [Check here to know how to get logs]
    8. A brief description of the issue
    9. Any installed mods to the system.

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.
