I'm having an issue where ever couple of days vanced gets replaced by the native YouTube app. I use the root version. I uninstall the default YouTube app then use the vanced manager app to install vanced. But in the system settings it's not recognized as "vanced" it shows up as YouTube. And for the first couple of days it's actually vanced with the vanced settings. Then it just changes to normal YouTube.

Root version will show as normal youtube with vanced icon.
The reason normal youtube replaces vanced is because it is auto updating in play store. Just turn off auto updates in play store and it won't get overwritten

YouTube Vanced is being overwritten by stock YouTube because they have the same package names (which is the very benefit of Vanced root) and PlayStore sees an update available so installs it, thus over writing Vanced with Stock.

Simple fix : Install TeMeFi and detach YouTube from the PlayStore.

Personally, I've also disabled auto-update apps on the PlayStore and just manually update every couple of days. Not sure this is entirely needed as YouTube never shows up on available update lists, nor do I get any notifications that an update is available, however it's just easier for me this way.

Thanks I'll give it a try. But I do have auto updates disabled and it still happens. I installed the non root version and have not had this issue since.

Bug: vertical videos always play in very low quality even when manually choosing higher quality. Usually the first 3 seconds are acceptable quality but then forcibly plays in 240p or 144p. I compared directly to stock youtube app and the stock app always plays high quality and can switch to higher qualities manually. The bug happens in all version of vanced.

Only happens with vertical videos, and having preferred quality setting doesn't make any difference.

Thanks I'll give it a try. But I do have auto updates disabled and it still happens. I installed the non root version and have not had this issue since.

You won't get the same issue with Non-root Vanced as it doesn't have the same package name - It's a completely different app that happens to deliver YouTube content. Whereas root Vanced is YouTube.

I'm not sure exactly what is going on if you've turned off auto-updates, your app shouldn't be getting updated in that case. You say after a couple of days it is reverting to stock, what are you doing during those days? Are you rebooting? There was an issue that Vanced would be reverting to stock YouTube upon reboots it wa supposedly fixed but, if that's the issue you're experiencing then the fix has already been posted multiple times so just take a look through the thread, or search my posts because I've posted it a few times in here too.

Is something wrong with the installation of the root version lately? I installed it three weeks ago and it went fine, but today I resetted my phone and when I tried to install it, it failed.

It shows that it's downloading, but then the progress bar freezes until you get an error message that says that it failed for an unknown reason. Tried other versions and it kept failing as well.

I tried the non-root version and it installed correctly.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S7.
OS: Stock Android 8.0.

It all seems logical, however, I know I tried turning off auto-updates a few years ago, and youtube still managed to get updated, more than once.

You say after a couple of days it is reverting to stock, what are you doing during those days? Are you rebooting? There was an issue that Vanced would be reverting to stock YouTube upon reboots it wa supposedly fixed but, if that's the issue you're experiencing then the fix has already been posted multiple times so just take a look through the thread, or search my posts because I've posted it a few times in here too.
The auto update of YouTube was happening to me back in the days when Vanced was installed physically as a system app. there was no stock youtube to revert to. It was an extra install by the playstore over Vanced, not a removal of Vanced install. Vanced was still installed on the system partition.

You may just be very lucky and have something different in your device / ROM. I created a detach method which slowly built to around 25 steps / changes to stop YouTube updating. One of the first few was to automatically disable auto updates on youtube. That failed every time. I am not the only one this has happened to.

EDIT: almost forgot just turning off auto updates also means "Update All" is not an option.

Hi, I have a little problem. I downloaded nonroot 3 apk (2 were with apkmirror bundles) from apkmirror and I can use app without any vanced manager (i didnt use with e mail) but Im not sure was it safe ? In my used phone ( just for this app, no contacts or bank apps )has just gta sa and sd card some taken naturel landscape photos in normal storage (even dont using gmail account).
I tried app first and it stopped (its normal for manager and etc.) but with older apk after, it worked but more interesting thing is with after install the newest apk, the opening info as name of devs like older apks and it worked like older apk without any extras. I just used 3 minutes but does my sd card pics taken (copy) in 3 minutes or Im in safe ?
I installed with apkmirror bundles but I have old photos from my sd card and 4 photos were in a passport format so it makes me feel uncomfort. Phone works normal, just the samsung internet beta browser was a bit strange (maybe placebo). After deleted beta browser and using normal one, it worked as normal. I need an answer from Team Vanced, as like I said, no private data in phone, just sd card and pictures.

Ps. Im a Brave Browser user too.

Yes i did. With non rooted phone, i don't know how to remove the packaging folders it mentioned
Are you trying to install the root version by mistake? The message about packaging means that you are trying to install a different version (different signature) than you had installed, not just an updated version.

There seems to be an issue with some apps disappearing when a phone is upgraded to Android 11, but I didn't have this issue with YouTube Vanced. If YouTube Vanced is uninstalled on your phone, Vanced Manager seems to be finding some remnent of it still installed, which could be difficult to correct on a non-rooted phone.

    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.

    1. Make sure you are being enough descriptive of the problem.

    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.
