The rooted version has the same package name as the original YouTube so ALL links to YouTube videos open in Vanced.To all people using a rooted phone, you really don't have to use the rooted version of YTV. The non-rooted version works just fine and you just have to freeze the original YT app to just not be bothered with two YT apps on your phone (they don't have the same signature, so can even run in parallel and the the original YT can be updated without messing up with YTV. It is just very inconvenient to have both running at the same time, hence the recommendation to freeze the original YT).
I notice that most messages complaining here about the YTV app are about the rooted version of the app. IMHO, TeamVanced should just stop with the rooted version altogether, and there would be much more happy users of this wonderful app.
The non-rooted version has a different package name so not all links open in Vanced.
Not sure the Vanced team should discontinue the rooted version just because some users can't manage to get it working or detach it from the playstore.
I prefer to have the choice.
