This is the direction I was thinking to.

Clearing cache and/or changing the version of the manager (0.42 to 0.43) doesn't change anything (incl. switching repo).
What's strange for me is the fact that the problem occurs on an rooted and an unrooted device.
And to make it more complex the unrooted one is the same as mine (Xiaomi Mi 9T, also not rooted, the one the manager is working on). Only difference is that one is running stock MIUI and my device is on xiaomi.eu with unlocked bootloader.
I will do some testing too.
Thanks!

While you are at it
From vanced manager settings
Delete keystore / logs / temporary files too.
(One of the steps I follow, Before repatching a new yt update)

Vanced manager 43 is bit buggy at the moment 42 should be okay for your explorations

Edit: Looking into TWRP filemanager the directory seems to be the same with Revanced Extended.
Got it working now on the rooted device.
I'm not sure what made the difference, it has something to do with the order of things that have to be done.
Install YouTube, install manager, change sources to inotia00, maybe delete temporary files after a failed attempt?
Not sure what made the difference but I was able to patch the installed YouTube version 17.35.46.
I will try to troubleshoot.....

Not sure you can do this ATM as the revanced-patches repo is currently unavailable due to a DMCA takedown.
Can use extended or
official fork of revanced

For now, please use an existing fork of the revanced-patches repository. I have one right here: https://github.com/PalmDevs/rvp

- Go to Manager settings > Sources
- In the Patches organization field, change it to: PalmDevs
- In the patches source field, change it to: rvp

- Restart Manager


edit:
Main repo is available now

Orientation issues.
This issue was not happening earlier.
Occurring in ReVanced 0.0.44 with recommended YouTube Version 17.45.36.

This issue was not the in previous version of YouTube 17.36.37.

I wanted to patch YouTube 17.36.37 but ReVanced forces to patch with recommended YouTube Version 17.45.36 so I'm stuck.

It's killing the purpose of having Smartphone as I always use phone without looking the screen orientation.

I reported this bug on Github and it was closed abruptly with some silly reason.

Turn on "Experimental patches support" under settings.
That will allow you to patch incompatable versions.
Not sure if it will work patching an older version. :unsure:
If the patch was updated it might not be compatible with an older version.

Cheers. :cowboy:

I'm using revanced version 17.43.37
Ensure in ReVanced settings - Ad Settings
Hide buttoned ad
Hide general ads
Hide video ads

are all turned ON
Also try clearing ReVanced cache in Android apps settings - storage

If this doesn't work try either reinstalling or patch the app again.

And sorry if nothing works. At my end the app is working fine.
Hope someone has a solution for your issue.

Thanks

Hi, I installed revanced a few days ago, and everything has been great so far, except one minor, but really weird, bug:
Sometimes, when I open a video, it doesn't start from the beginning, it starts from the 7th second of the video.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is it just me?
PS: I am using the unrooted version of revanced.
Thanks a lot

    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:
