[APP] Patched ad-free YouTube APKs

[Bazcraig]

This has been working for me flawlessly for months, but the last few days I cant stop the app store auto updating the YouTube app. I am able to get a few hours after flashing before Youtube updates and I get ads again. Is anyone else experiencing?

Thanks for the link. However 12.19. 56 is the oldest version I can find there and that one doesn't block th3 ads unfortunately! Anyone with an older, still working version?

As of 2nd of August, I'm now receiving ads in full during video on the 12.27.53 and the old 12.19.56. Also, there is no skip button :crying: Strange that this happens periodically almost once a month for this year, but then disappears the next day. This time, not so. I didn't make any changes or modification to android. The weirdest part though is how I've read in the past that "logging out" of your youtube account eliminates ads. Sure enough, log out on 12.19.56 and I go back to the same videos as before, no ads and it goes right past the yellow markers where an ad would be. The current 12.27.53 has inconsistent results when logged out. Already used your installer to reinstall fresh multiple times to no success.

Hopefully my experiment there gives some clue to the puzzle. 5 to 6 one minute ads in a 15 min video with another one at the start and end of every video is really discouraging on android, thanks to youtube. Haven't seen a youtube ad on PC in probably a decade =/

@arter97 I have been using your modded youtube app for awhile and it is amazing.

However, I am trying to block youtube ads at home and LAN wide for those who don't have a rooted android phone or don't have an Android phone to begin with. Would you mind helping me with the blocked domains list you are using with your app?

Thanks

@arter97

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure there is no blocked domains list. It's supposed to be a patch to not try and load the ads in the first place.

Using Adaway and visiting YouTube in the Firefox browser still works to not see the ads. It's not as elegant as arter97's work, but it's what I was doing once I had to give up Xposed for the V20 before I found out he'd made a "non-Xposed" version. I'll install a fixed apk if Google hasn't figured out a way to shut arter97's brilliant work down completely, but until then I'm back to browsing the "desktop site" with Firefox and clicking on the full-screen view.

I have auto updates set to off in play store and it never downloaded something automatically. Did you check that option?

using YT adaway from OP still showing ads at the beginning and somtimes middle of a video

To everyone looking for a working version just use the magisk module for iYTBP here-
https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-iytbp-magisk-t3619705

I tried all of the arter97 apks, all of the iYTBP apks, and the xposed module and this is the only working method for me and all of my devices.

Does it block ads?
[Edit] Yes it does... Written on title thread

Worked like a charm, thank you. Now it's bearable to watch youtube again.

For the last 10 days i've been seeing ads on the 20 July version of this. Damn youtube is unusable with ads

Finally time to use YT app again!

Yeah I admire people that can stand all these ads, after the 16748 time I saw that stupid amazon app and clash royale ads i just got crazy [emoji43]

If none of these apps work, there's still @cygery AdSkip. It's available on XDA Labs app store.

Thanks!

arter97's mod stopped working for me. This Magisk module works great AND it includes background playback!

For anyone moving to this Magisk module, don't forget to delete arter97's​ yt.sh script in /system/addon.d

Hmm this is really weird. As I said I'm using the version from 20 July(currently latest with adblock enabled) but I'm still seeing ads. However today when I opened the app I have this new bottom navbar category called "shared"(not sure of the english translation here) so the app have somehow updated itself even though I have turned autoupdating off. And if I got to the Play store and look I can still manually update the youitube app... really weird.

The shared functionality is a server-side update. Even if you're using an older version it will still appear without you updating the app.

I have the adfree youtube app from this thread. If i want to install the module do I have to roll back to the original youtube app and then do the Magisk methode ?
