[APP][MOD][ROOT/NONROOT] YouTube Vanced Edition

[zgfg]

I use mixplorer which has a search function and will search your whole device for any files or folders that match the keyword you choose, in this case 'youtube'.
Anyway I have also had problems in the past installing from vanced manager. Try downloading youtube version 15.43.32 from apk mirror, install using SAI and then install this magisk module.
Here is a link to the devs Github so u can get the latest version if you like. I just haven't got around to updating yet.

In MiXplorer there is also Tools, Remove App remnants option that will show the files remaining from the removed apps and so

Thank you for your assistance.
I fixed it by uninstalling the stock youtube app with the help of sd maid and then installing vanced with the manager.

I have one of my Android device with Android 4.4 version and that's last firmware update version able to be.. what Vanced manager for android 4.4 do i need so i can I install on the device

tried rooted apks and method with the mannager, does not seems to work.
please provide a proper download link for all the resources!

the manager got stuck download few APKs,
but when I've tried to installed them, there were signature errors,
I've moved them to my PC, removed the old RSA signature, repacked, signed and aligned (in jarsigner use first sign then align, apksigner uses first align then sign),
and copied them back, now the manager passed the signature verifications,
but the APKs does not seems to be having "base", I assume it is either one of the bigger ones, but I was done wasting my time: headed over to APKMIRROR and got the latest blonde from Vanced Team, got a mod version of the APKMIRROR-INSTALLER from APKMB and installed it.

APKMIRROR have not include the root version, which is a shame. I'm on a custom firmware of LineAge OS, natively rooted and very slim in terms of pre-installed packaged. built-in apps (including youtube) are not a problem.

I'm even tried modified the package name from com.vanced.android.youtube to com.google.android.youtube (android manifest and few SMALI files), but something is OFF, and it didn't brought in standard functionality (still requires microG).

anyway, I'm not sure there are actuall limitation enforced from the Google Play services regarding YouTube official signature, so it will get authenticated naively, but maybe there are...

I've used lucky patcher, toolbox menu, checked ON first one: "signature verification status always true" and second one "disable .apk signature verification", and applied. it was rebooted the device, and after it went up it shows (in the toolbox menu) that the patch were applied successfully.

Please the structure of https://vancedapp.com/ so it will have proper, clear and understandable instructions in one page, without that nasty jumps, or javascript pagination of the table, or hooking clicks on table "TR/TD" elements instead of a click - WHO DOES THIS???

I feel the whole thing can be documented better,
less confusing mess - means more users without extensive knowledge in reverse-engineering to check-box weird cases to figure out why the app does not work.
and get rid of the "installer" it is a very iffy idea. people do not trust those, and it automatically gets blocked in various security apps as malicious.


=-=-=-=-=

as of now, no success installing anything but the non-root version from apkmirror with apkmirror installer. I'm not intend of using microG.

If you don't like YTV Manager (?), either don't use rooted YTV or read back through this thread, or use search (avialable if accessing XDA via browser) to find the posts about installing YTV root as a Magisk module.

Btw, it's a pretty bad idea (and against the Magisk documention that can be found on Magisk Github site and costom ROM developers who want to play with Magisk should read and be aware of) to build-in Magisk into the custom ROMs. Sooner or later (specially if the smart developer also built-in Magisk Manager as a system app), you and other users will have problems when updating Magisk.

Does the high quality streaming option work in the YouTube Music Vanced edition, like it does in the regular YT Music premium subscription? In other words, is the streaming bit rate capable of 256kbps? Thanks in advance for any responses.

It doesnt stream 256kbps unless you do have premium account even if the toggle is unlocked been tested by testers and devs

Hi all , hope you can help , I see a lot of people using a fake Google account for vanced , is there anything wrong with using your own Google account to access vanced ?

No. I've been using my own Google account for a few years and never had any issues. Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Worst that can happen? Google tells you you've been naughty and asks you not to be naughty anymore. They're not going to suddenly ban you from all their products for blocking ads.

 

[Spannaa]

Not using, and I would never use anything based on /related to Magisk crapware.

A single word quote without a link and an attack on Magisk with no justification has to win you post of the day

I'm trying to install this on my Redmi Note 4x and Redmi Note 7 but I get this error.

I allowed it on Permissions but still turns out like this..
I'd like to update my Vanced app coz its takes time to load livestream videos

I didn''t know that. Thanks for the info.

Try when you first enable Install via USB from Developer options. Vanced asks to disable MIUI optimzations, also from Developer options (but for me enabling installations via USB was enough)

Thank you , I just read a few things about people using fake accounts to protect themselves , I've been using it for a while and never had any issues with the devs ( knowing my Google data etc ) or issues with Google , thanks

Never even thought about using fake account - and using Vanced for years with np

I think not seeing ads or removing them is users right and YT agrees with that. Thats why VYT isnt banned by google

Exactly! It just like using an add blocker, there is nothing Google can do about it. If vanced were to say start adding the premium paid features to the app deliberately bypassing the paywall then they would be shut down by Google. But removing adds and adding there own tweaks or features to the app is ok. I don't think anyone's account has ever been banned for using vanced.

 

[Edgie70]

From browsing different sites on the web about it people were wanting / asking to make sure that using their own Google account with the vanced Devs was ok and not at risk too , I've never had an issue tbh

Posting this in hopes of helping anyone avoid the couple of hours of grief I had with the dreaded spinning circle when opening YouTube Vanced.

• Issue: installed Vanced Manager and chose path for rooted device (running LineageOS for Microg in case you're wondering).
• Opened YT Vanced
• Added Google account, relaunched
• Spinning Circle, not connected.
• Tried, reinstall, clear data etc, to no avail
• Installed Manager again and choose install for non-rooted devices and got a message that there was an issue with V16 and you had to install v15 first then update... same message isn't in the root version
• uninstalled manager, reinstalled
• Chose rooted version V15 (at bottom of install page)
• Added account and logged in. Works!
• reran manager, chose upgrade (make sure to select v16 at bottom of install page as above)
• Bingo, all good
