Hello, my dream in the latest version in the window in the window, you could restore the headphones option because you have to click x and turn off the music or movie ...

Is there any possible way or workaround to install YouTube Vanced as stock app???
...snip...

Just disable YouTube and set vanced to be the default client for YouTube links?
Yeah! That's the last solution I'm more interested to replace stock YouTube app
Its been a while, but from memory, you can use a magisk module to de-bloat stock newer youtube, which then should let you install the older vanced root version.

The first option would be try to Disable & Hide YouTube. One option is to use TeMeFI at Application Info / Manage>State>Hibernate-Freeze-Hide>com.google.android.youtube
Another option is to use TeMeFI, under Magisk>Modules>TeMeFI Hide System Apps>Add or Remove>Add one>[*YouTube*]

Hi guys.. after 5 minutes of playing yt while the screen is turned off, my yt stops playing. Could this be due to my phone ending its wifi connection or something in the vanced settings that I need to tweak?

If its my phone closing the wifi connection, what can I do to fix this on my samsung A70?

This music player also plays youtube videos. Doesn't work in aa but works fine through screen2auto.

Este reproductor de música también reproduce videos de youtube. No funciona en aa pero funciona bien a través de screen2auto.

After my Oneplus Oxygen 12 Update...... YouTube is on the latest update. I tried uninstalling it and then downloading an older version of youtube that can be patched with Vanced, but it wont let me install it. Any idea why I cannot install an older version of YouTube after uninstalling it?

It's probably not uninstalled fully. Eg;: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 .…
does not really uninstall the package, it is just 'uninstalled' for user 0
but at the moment you try to install the same app (package name), it finds the old one and complains about downgrading

There are some ways to 'debloat' preinstalled YT (to become fully invisible), but needs deeper know-how, it's generally out-of-topic here, and may not work on all (new) ROMs

With Vanced non-root YT you will have no problem with versions (it can be installed in parallel to the official YT). However, you may have issues with MicroG (I don't use, see what others post)

That's what I thought.... that there are remnants of the app. I will check on how to debloat the YouTube app. I don't like the non-root version, because some of the links will not open on the YouTube Vanced app and also you get the annoying popup on Google Messages that you need to install the YouTube app constantly if there is a YouTube link.

I keep getting updated against my will on the play store. mostly YouTube music. now that it's discontinued I really just need a copy of the last APK so I can replace stock when that update happens. what can I do to find it? Android 11 pixel 4a fwiw

I asked here and no one gave me a workable solution. I was trying to install the root version of Vanced, but I couldn't downgrade YouTube to do it.

I figured out there is a LSPosed module called XDowngrader and I was able to install an older version over the current YouTube. Then I followed a YouTube tutorial to install the rooted version. If you updated your phone and lost the rooted version of YouTube Vanced... Do the LSPosed module and the YouTube tutorial. I also installed another module called update locker to keep the play store from updating it.

is this all the same for YouTube music? I haven't had any issues lately with YouTube itself but since getting a car I have become dependent on YouTube music.

for the record I followed the instructions got the latest yt music APK and used sai to install stock then manually copied the root APK over to replace the stock base APK and it's working for now. I imagine it doesn't survive a reboot without some special mounting script though am I right

    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.
    10. Test your issue on the stock youtube app

    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.
