[Magisk]Youtube Vanced [Official]

[Wixcee]

Thanks for the answers. They could update their thread by mesdage that they are working on it or something like that. That way maybe people would ask less.. still, they did really good job, and for free!

Just did a factory reset of my Pixel 2XL and am reinstalling all of my mods, got to reinstalling Youtube Vanced and whenever I try to open it, I just get a force close and the popup of "Youtube Keeps Stopping". The initial screen with the icon in the middle shows up, then it closes. Any tips?

I have tried uninstalling through Magisk twice now and the same thing is happening. I have obviously uninstalled the prior, official version of Youtube, so that's not causing anything. I have tried clearing storage and cache, nothing. The only other modules I have installed so far are V4A, substratum, systemless hosts for Adaway and Audio Mod Library(all of which I had before too without any issues).

Here's a crazy idea: remove the Vanced module, reboot, install official YouTube (that's right, from Play Store), then flash Vanced module again and reboot again. What does that do?

When I flashed Youtube Vanced through Magisk while having the official app, it literally did nothing.
(It did no [noticable?] modifications to the official app, nor installed the modded one.)
But the idea is great ?

Ah well, worth a shot. It worked for others before, can't work for anyone I guess. That's strange though as it should've made changes. Perhaps disabling it first (if it's a system app) is needed as it then downgrades first. Try the root method now?

I had the same issue until..... I went into Google Play store, searched YouTube and then clicked uninstall. Apparently I must've updated YouTube. One that was one I went to check if YouTube vanced was installed and there it was! Try that and see if this helps

 

[valeriee]

Can someone help please? I have vanced installed but it is not showing in the app drawer. I can't disable the auto updates feature in the app store either as the option is not there? If I install the youtube app from the playstore the app just uninstalls itself very shortly after being installed... So strange. Any help is appreciated!

I have already tried that, even with multiple different ways of uninstalling updates and when to install Vanced. Did not work for me though

I am assuming you are running the root version.

Do you have have any OAT directories/files under /system/app/YouTube? I do not think you should for VancedYT. And this "app_chimera" is also suspicious.

Have you tried wiping your dalvik-cache?

 

[nmo_O]

This question is somewhat connected to this thread, but also a general query. I'm not sure when Google changed this, but the tick box to stop automatic updates on an app in Google Play is no longer what it used to be. Now it's the opposite.. the tick box is there to activate (not disable) automatic updates.

How do people work around forcing automatic updates to stop on a single app and not on their entire app library?

Figured out what it was, it was a substratum theme that was causing the crashes. The odd thing is that I had the same theme installed before wiping and it wasn't causing any issues. Either way, I disabled the theme for Youtube and it started working . Thanks for looking through for me!

I too had issues with Vanced via Magisk, on both my current Pixel 3a running official Android 10 OTA (as I need dual SIM support on this phone), and my Moto Z2 Force running LOS16. In both cases, installing the Magisk module appeared to do absolutely nothing at all, regardless of the several different ways I tried doing it suggested here, and I ended up just installing the APK version on both without issue.

 

[bob8490]

Just an FYI for posterity: I had the same issue on my Pixel 3a running Android 10 (QQ1A.200105.002) rooted with Magisk. After installing "YouTube Vanced black themed - Magisk Repo", it would work for a few minutes, but then very quickly would stop. Opening it would result in an immediate crash, with the message "YouTube keeps closing".
I tried reinstalling, rebooting, disabling the official YouTube app, uninstalling the official YouTube app, all kinds of stuff. I either ended up with the same thing OR nothing at all (magisk says Vance installed, but the YouTube app is still stock.)
Eventually I installed "YouTube Vanced - Magisk Repo" (NOTE THE LACK OF "black themed" IN THE TITLE) from Magisk instead.. and it's been working fine.
The only difference seems to be that the "black themed" version is true black for OLED screens. Well.. and that it doesn't work.

You don't. Just uninstall updates, and/or disable it.

 

[haaffizzzz]

Is there a fix to Youtube Vanced not syncing/ being able to log into google accounts ? I'm on Pocophone F1 Android 10, Magisk 20.3
UPDATE: Fixed I just had to reinstall the module lmao

sorry for that kind of question but i need to know
magisk is similar to xposed framework?
if not can i have both magisk and xposed framework installed?
i have already installed xposed framework
thanks in advance

I don't see how Xposed is relevant here..

In a way they are quite similar, yes. The most important difference to most users is that Xposed trips Big G's SafetyNet while Magisk knows how to stay hidden. Magisk does not alter system files as it redirects system changes elsewhere via the boot image. Of course, the bigger story is much more complex but I think that's what's most important to know.
Yes, they can exist simultaneously on the same system. In fact, Xposed can be a module of Magisk. I believe Xposed has been discontinued and a new fork, EdXposed, is now the new standard. It's been ages since I used anything related to Xposed as I find more than enough satisfaction with Magisk modules.

If you already installed Xposed, what root solution did you use to achieve that? Magisk?

Mind that this isn't the place to discuss the differences at great length so I would advise doing some research on your own, keeping the above in mind.
