What is the way of updating revanced?
Is it always needed to completely remove the previous version of revanced?

For some reason, updates do not work for me.

How are you doing this?
Seems there is an issue with the patched file not being replaced or the scripts not being updated properly when you patch the new version.

For now you have to manually delete the revanced boot scripts and the current patched apk file.
Code:
/data/adb/post-fs-data.d/com.google.android.youtube.sh
/data/adb/service.d/com.google.android.youtube.sh
/data/local/tmp/revanced-manager/com.google.android.youtube
Note:
I am not sure if you need to reboot before the next step.


Then update YouTube and use the patcher app to patch/install the new version.

Cheers. :cowboy:

PS.
You will need root access to delete the previous files.
If you have a borked YouTube installation, you have to find and manually remove it from /data/app

To get it clear, I only need the Revanced manager for non rooted devices, if I would like to patch the official youtube apk by myself, correct?

I am rooted and would like to use Magisk.
In the current Magisk file [OG,Black]YT_RVX(17.44.34) detaching youtube and accessing google account is included?
I don't need MicroG and MinDetach Module?

And which apk do I need, on the revanced website, it says this one:

In the telegram channel this one:

I see the last one is the official one and much bigger in size, what's the difference in YT-ReVanced-17.44.34.apk?
Already the patched version (from the Youtube apk from Apkmirror)?

Can Youtube Revanced be updated automatic / will I get informed or do I need Revanced Manager for it?
Might update to Android 13 Custom Rom soon, will Youtube Revanced work?

For both root and non-root,
manager can be used for self patching official yt

For rooted ...
Microg if playservices are not available in your rom...
otherwise not needed.
Mini detach still needed for root use.
And which apk do I need, on the revanced website, it says this one:

In the telegram channel this one:
For self patching download From apkmirror download nodpi varient
For prepatched download from revanced.io

I see the last one is the official one and much bigger in size, what's the difference in YT-ReVanced-17.44.34.apk?
Already the patched version (from the Youtube apk from Apkmirror)?

Can Youtube Revanced be updated automatic / will I get informed or do I need Revanced Manager for it?
Might update to Android 13 Custom Rom soon, will Youtube Revanced work?
No auto update available currently...
need to patch and install through manager...
self discretion ...
Works on A13

Hello! Is there any way of having the default playback option inside ReVanced settings? I want to be able to set a default speed as opposed to having to always change the speed.
The setting used to be on older versions of Youtube Revanced, but it's gone for me now. I'm curently using Revanced Manager patches with Youtube 17.43.36.

Click on download settings and select and install a downloader like seal / newpipe etc and set the downloader package name like
com.junkfood.seal
I have NewPipe installed and have selected NewPipe in the download settings. Anyways, the icon was present in the old setup even before setting the download package name.
Any other ideas?

Check revanced settings - layout settings - button container component - hide download button
You might have that ON
You are right, it is ON, but that setting is for the official download button (the one you have to have a premium subscription for). If I set it to OFF, the button appears, but asks for premium subscription. I was asking for the unofficial button that was in the video window next to the full screen square.

Try it with seal downloader https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal/releases/
Btw Press the download button in the video player not the one below you in your screenshot

Edit
Did you select all patches when building? Including downloads patch?

I tried with all of the apps, the button is not there with none of them. How can I take only the Default Video Speed patch from inotia00 repo and add it to the default patches?
Edit: I selected the download patch.

Download button is available for me in the player window and was able to download the video.

Try again uninstall and reinstall with all patches.

Are you using newer beta versions?
Patches are not supported on beta.

Phone Oneplus 8.

Testing out the new youtube versions coming from old old 17.03.38.
No problem, statusbar is all black all the time.
Now on the new versions both statusbar and actionbar under the video is colored in blurred accent and updates every 5-6 seconds.
This. This is what irritate the sh1t of me! My eyes cannot relax. I'm always catching my eyes at the changing colors, mostly the statusbar, the area above the video is big because of the keyhole camera.

Anyone else bothered by this?

I installed module version 2.3 with magisk managerI and placed the detach.txt file in the external storage of the phone and saved the line com.google.android.youtube did I do something wrong?

I'm looking for a version that is able to share a video at a particular timestamp.
I remember this feature in the Vanced builds (it was inside the player window).
There's no patch to activate it and also the revanced.io APK hasn't it.
Someone who has seen that feature?
If not I will create a request on GitHub.

    Hello Friends,

    I would like to share information about the true successor to the Vanced app. It is called ReVanced.

    The project page is located on the GitHub site.

    There you have all the information to build the patcher binaries(not the patched YouTube apk). Then patch the YouTube apk(must be official original apk) from the command line (instructions are there on how to do this).

    Building the binaries on your own can be overwhelming for many so the easiest way is to download the "ReVanced Manager" (needs Android 8 and above). Link is on the homepage.

    Unlike Vanced Manager, ReVanced Manager will not download any apk and microg (for non-root devices). It will show you the installed official YouTube version on which to apply the patch. It also allow you to specify an offline YouTube apk stored on your device which you want to patch. It will then display the list of available patches. You can choose the patches as per your requirement and apply them. Once the patches are applied successfully, you will see an option to install the patched apk as a non-root user or "install as root". My device is not rooted so I could not test it.

    If you are applying patches on the installed YouTube app, then depending on the patches you choose you may get the warning saying something like "split configuration detected. The patches you choose requires resource patching, hence you may encounter some errors".

    I was not sure what to do so I choose to apply patches on the offline apk.

    Important: The ReVanced Manager doesn't seems to recognise .apks or .xapk extensions so your offline apk needs to be a single apk (you can get the apk from trusted site like apkpure or find a way to extract the split apk's from the installed app and merge them into a single apk)

    One more thing the patched apk will not install over your existing installed official apk. So you must remove it first. I am also not sure if the patched apk will install over a previously patched apk created with the ReVanced Manager (It should be possible but I came across this project just last night and haven't really tested the various scenarios).

    Note: I am neither a contributor on this project nor I am associated with them in any way. I am just sharing something useful I came across.

    Thank you 🙂

    Hi all. 🙂

    I have been following the ReVanced project since shortly after it started.
    It is a big and still a young project so, there are some glitches and issues. 🙃
    - Some patches might not work or cause issues.

    I had some issues with the ReVanced Managers between v0.0.19 and v.0.0.26.
    YT and YT Music force close after patching with manager 22, 23, 24 and 25.​

    ReVanced does not currently support split-apks.
    v.0.0.19 was the last able to patch split-apk YT​

    The ReVanced Manager will not work on arm (armv7a) devices.
    You can patch arm files on an arm64 (armv8a) device.​

    I am still working on updating a Magisk module project that I started a few years ago but, never announced.
    Vanced asked that no one release an unofficial module once they created an official module.
    Since the official module was dead, I asked for permission to release a new module.
    A few years ago, due to changes in Android.
    I was looking for an easier way to use the root 'Vanced' version of YouTube on my device(s).
    Instead of manually replacing and setting permissions, I tested an idea (on a lot of devices and Android versions) to overlay the modified version over the stock installed version.
    The Vanced team adopted the idea into their Manager root install. 🙂
    - ReVanced does the same.

    Hi all. 🙂

    Quick PSA.

    To explain what actually happens when you install ReVanced using the manager.
    Note: the file path might be different if you use the extended repo.
    I have not tried yet but, I think the extended repo used /data/adb/ instead of /data/local/tmp/

    When you open the manager you see the installed apps that are suported for patching.
    When you select one (YouTube for this example) for patching, the manager copies the stock installed apk file to a working directory.
    The copy is then patched with the patches you select and a patched apk file is created.

    When you choose to install it, the patched apk file is moved to /data/local/tmp/revanced-manager/com.google.android.youtube/.
    The permissions of the modified apk file needs to be set correctly.
    This can not be done in a normal user level like /sdcard/ so /data/local/tmp/ is used since it has heighten permission levels.​

    Two boot scripts are created, and placed in Magisk's boot script directories.
    One placed in post-fs-data.d (early boot) and the other placed in service.d (late start).
    This is different than a module.
    A module (if scripts are needed), include their post-fs and service script within it's own module directory instead of the main directories.

    Then the mount command is used to overlay the patched version on top of the stock installed version.
    When you open the app, Android is pointed to the patched version instead of the installed version.​

    Since the mount overlay will not survive a reboot, the boot scripts that were created (post-fs and service) run the mount overlay on boot.
    Otherwise you would have to mount the patched version over the stock version manually after every boot. ;)
    Magisk's Overlay does not extent out to user data. That is why we use the mount command to overlay the modified apk.​

    ---

    There is still an issue with ReVanced not replacing the previous patched apk file and/or scripts when you update or re-patch an app.
    In a previous post I gave instructions on how to clear ReVanced YouTube for updating.
    Post #182

    Still an open issue.
    ReVancedManager - [ GitHub ] - Issue #425
    I happened to comment in the above issue what and why we use boot scripts and the mount command. ;)

    ---

    Hope it helps more than confuse. 🙃

    Cheers. :cowboy:
