[App Discussion] ReVanced, the successor to Vanced

[Wolfcity]

Revanced extended ver 17.45.36
(Patches 2.111.4...
Also available on previous version patches)

Thanks! I was using the APK from revanced.io (not 100% equal to ReVanced Extended) or patched my own one from the ReVanced GitHub repo.
I wasn't aware that there's also an extended version by inotia00.

Thanks to @Retrial 's post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...the-successor-to-vanced.4502039/post-87780627
I recognized the possibility to change the sources inside the manager.
That's also a post that deserves to be pinned to OP to collect all available sources/repos/forks and also as a valuable tutorial.

Once again thanks @asripath for pointing me to the right direction.

As a general warning and after a deep research:

• You need to be logged in for ReVanced to open the youtube links normally when you set it as default youtube app. You can read more about the issue I had here (in the official discord of revanced). This is also happening in Official YouTube so it's not a bug of ReVanced or Extended. If you don't wanna use your personal Gmail to connect to ReVanced via microG then just create a new one and use it only for it.
  This was really strange issue to determine and find the source of the problem and I was going crazy, finally I found it.

I've also included it in my thread here.

You can activate the icon in settings but streaming to Chromecast doesn't work with the non root variant. Vanced team said due to MicroG.
Maybe there's a way to re-enable casting V1 to make it work. Check the github links in @ipdev 's post quoted below.





Edit: I had a really old version of YT Vanced (16.02.35) with Chromecast working, no clue why.

I followed the instructions in this video

and got it working in a chrome(or chrome based) browser window/tab on my laptop.

I used connect with TV-Code option as the phone was unable to find Laptop with WI-FI
You will need to install chrome extension. Details are in the video.

Thanks

I use Revanced.IO (root), Magisk module is daily updated, I just click to Update the module and reboot, voila

If you are updating using Magisk then can you tell whether the update preserves offline(videos downloaded using YouTube download button) downloaded videos?

I actually never use Download feature

I tried now, but it asked me for 3 months trial - I opted to Skip and it didn't download (screenshot)

Thanks for replying

Try downloading another video. The video you tried to download might be available as a part of premium subscription.

I do not have any subscription nor I have ever joined any trial period.

My phone is not rooted. It's running Android 11 and I use non-rooted YouTube ReVanced v17.45.36.

Non-Rooted ReVanced is preserving data between updates. But then I am building it on my own using Termux and Revanced Builder directly on my phone.

I tried various, always the same

If you give me the link to one video that does not request Premium Trial for you, I could test one more time

Again 3 months trial. That's it, apparently not supported

ReVanced does not enable the paid for premium feature to download videos for free. That would put them right in the sights of legal jeopardy from google. This issue was discussed and explained many times for Vanced. I am sure it would of been possible for them to somehow skirt the premium blocks, but that would start to become Warez. It has always been stated that downloading from Vanced/Revanced was not in any planned features list, without a premium account

Which downloader are you using?
If you use downloader like seal,
Wouldn't the downloads be saved locally and survive updates ?

 

[Ivan.Adriazola]

nice, I was actually a bit worried

Ok, Download with Revanced.io root module actually works, thanks @asripath for instructions - see the screenshots

These settings are explicitly not a download by ReVanced, Its a reference / selection of a 3rd party downloading app. I am guessing's its simply a quick link to a share or an intent, of the video by a specific package. (ie com.junkfood.seal in your case) In mine it says NewPipe. I will change it to my other preferred download app.

But when I click download in ReVanced YouTube (as you show), It explicitly opens a NewPipe download confirmation box. In your case, you have installed seal. ie its not a ReVanced Download but simply a default & easy interface into NewPipe. If you didn't have seal pre-installed, download would not work as shown. In the old VAnced, I would click the share buton and then select my video/audio do9wnload app. I remember4 how much pushback people had with the concept. The above simply appears to hide the reality, a little better.

So download always worked in the old Vanced, through a share. Now it works using this new fangled download setting, but still is not downloaded by the ReVanced

Yes, downloading by 3rd pty app - but downloading and saving. That's the point

Hi, is there any way to enable quitting from revanced using back button?

Hi, is there any way to enable quitting from revanced using back button?

From revanced about back button/key.
..

back-key doesn't work in ReVanced's home feed. Any solution?

A. This is one of the things Google is testing.
Google has built a pull-down refresh feature and a back-key feature inside the ad layout from YouTube's home feed.

In other words, in the latest version of YouTube, if you block the layout ads from the home feed, it means that the pull-down refresh function and the back-key function will not be available (because those functions are included in the layout ads)

Turn off the 'Settings > ReVanced Settings > Ads > Remove General ads' toggle
Ads will appear in ReVanced's home feed, but pull-down refresh and back-key functionality will work in the home feed.

Or: you can use the home button instead!

This is an issue that no one has been able to fix since YouTube Vanced v15.43.32. This is an issue that no one can easily solve.

Download with ReVanced (using the new patched integrated download button and using the third party app) is working since day one(whenever that option became available) irrespective of whether you downloaded and using fully patched apk or you built it yourself using various methods.

Not all 3rd party app works. Apps like FDM or ADM won't download due to YouTube imposed restrictions.
