[CLOSED][APP][MOD][ROOT/NONROOT] Vanced

[Danny1976]

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

It should survive a reboot. What it will not survive is a play store update. I have the LSPosed module blocking the YouTube update. You need install LSPosed and the update locker module. That will prevent the play store from updating the app.

I figured out there is a LSPosed module called XDowngrader

There is also this nugget that you can toy with.

Why do you need to register to use this app? That makes no sense

If you did a manual one off install / replace in place, it sounds like it may stick through a reboot. Not sure, but it sounds like you have a RW system. The remount on booty is normally required for RO system partitions.

As for the playstore, apart from LSposed, you also have the detach method in my app TeMeFI.

Having a weird issue. I finally have the root version running and play store updates blocked. The app doesn't even show on updates with the old version installed. For some reason, if I reboot the phone YouTube gets updated to v.17.11.34, but the latest version is v.17.32.38. I have a OnePlus 8 on oxygen os 12.1. Why would the phone update the app during a reboot?

Is it being up[dated by the playstore, or is the mounting on boot failing in Magisk?

how are you blocking updates?

I am using update locker.

I am using update locker.

I dont know and have never heard of it before.

But, if we read your post at face value, it has NOT blocked the update, so its not working, so I dont see the issue. Your update blocker is not working... It fails on a reboot.

And you didnt answer my other question / things to check.

The version it's updating to is located in the root partition of Oxygen OS12. So it seems Oxygen OS12 is updating the app, but why?

I have NO idea what your screen image is telling me.

But, trying to understand what you typed, I *think* you are saying it is reverting to the YouTube that is installed in the OS, ie OxygenOS 12? If thats the case, then that sounds like the mounting script is failing. Which would also explain why it happens on a reboot.

The screenshot is of a partiton that was added to the Oxygen OS on the last update. That root partition has the exact same version of Youtube being installed after a reboot. If the google play store was updating it.... it would update it to the v17.32.38 and not to the v17.11.34. The update locker module is blocking the play store update, but OOS12 for some reason is checking the apps version and updating it during the reboot. I am trying to find out on telegram and OOS XDA threads if I can delete those root partitions without bricking the phone.

Updated app is installed to /data/app

If you have v17.11.34 on the /system, /product, /vendor, /system-ext, then that version is pre-installed into your ROM and you cannot prevent that by blocking updates

If you installed an OS update, that included a YT update, I am not surprised it reverted YouTube.

Also, to downgrade YouTube now, thats a different line of adjustment, and your blocking system is probably not designed to stop such an update, as its not a PlayStore update.

Do you know a way to prevent the pre-installed version from being installed during a reboot? Can hide the app from the system the same way I am hiding it from the play store?

Hiding by adb will not work because the package still remains in the system and when you try to install the older version the system will complain

Check if you can enable (for your ROM) installing the older versions for the apps

Or look in this thread how to 'debloat' (but not by use of adb) the newer, system version of YT

Btw, it's pretty useless and bad idea for custom ROMs to include YT and similar apps into the ROM. If there is GApps (core), every user can install YT, Maps, GMail, etc by his choice

Or the other option will be to use non-root Vanced (with MicroG) - that can be installed in parallel to the official YT (hence, you could then update YT to the latest). You will have two apps then, YT and Vanced

I had the non-rooted version and just did not like some links opening on Youtube and not Vanced. If I disable Youtube and keep vanced.... I start getting notifications on Google Messages that I need to install Youtube when there is a Youtube link.

so I used to have a rw system but I can't get systemless host module to work, ad away isn't working and YouTube music gets replaced on reboot (although YouTube vanced does not) somehow also I lost safety net recently. I know I'm a little behind bc I'm still on Android 11 but man everything stopped working all of a sudden. gonna try to get yt music installed again then consider backing up my authenticator and upgrading to 12
