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 rooted version has the same package name as the original YouTube so ALL links to YouTube videos open in Vanced.

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.

I had the same issue, not being able to install Vanced. I downloaded Termux and Debloater magisk module. First command was "su" and the second one "debloat". Searched for the youtube apk, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone. Installed vanced via the manager and it works

Root Vanced is essentially official YouTube in every way. All links will open natively, Google Assistant is integrated and there's no need for MicroG. It's far superior to non-root Vanced.

please add setting video speed

Already exists?

Open Vanced and go to settings, then Vanced settings, then video settings, preferred video speed.

Ok, admittedly I don't use Goole assistant, so i don't know about that with the NoRoot version, but all my links open natively in the NoRoot version, so i don't see a difference there. I also have no issue with installing microG, at least YTV works like a charm, while many people struggle here with the root version.
I'm just saying they might struggle less by tring to install the noroot version.

They'd struggle even less by sticking to stock. Rooted Vanced works perfectly for me. But both those statements are kind of irrelevant. There exist a root-Vanced and people, for whatever reason, want to use it.

Considering that microG is a reimplementation of Google Play Services, if you are rooted and have a rom that already has Google Play Services, you have no reason to install microG and incur any additional overhead

Hi guys,
I've been trying for weeks to play on the app settings to force resolution to data saver / 360p on both wifi and mobile network due to bad network coverage at my house. But no matter what setting I chose, when starting a video, the app automatically switch back to 1080p after a few seconds.

I've already tried to un install/reinstall YouTube vanced. No change. So i was wondering what settings I've set to the wrong value?

Mi config :
S10e stock unrooted.
Vanced manager 2.2.1 non root version
Vanced Youtube 15.43.32

I wanted to do a thread search to see if that was already discusses before but i can't seem to find the search function since the new XDA design.

Thanks for you help and time.

The main reason I see for the existence of rooted Vance is that it will be used by Google apps (Google search, Google Assistant, Play Store, maybe others), though admittedly, many rooted users seem to want to get away from using Google (MicroG), which seems a bit of a contradiction to me if they want both.

Well, at least to search a thread, click the magnifying glass at the top of the page, click the gear icon and change 'everywhere' to 'this thread'.

Thank you already.
This seems to be only working on desktop (there is no magnifying glass at all in the xda app).
At least I'm gonna be able to search tomorrow.
😊
Searching works on the mobile browser as well , why not - missing only in XDA app

    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.

    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.
