▶️ReVanced & ReVanced Extended - Guides & Useful Links📚

[Civil123y]

Android 11 rooted
Both apps not installed(as normal app)

Sorry,,i noticed the guide of revanced manager.....

 

[NeonHD]

Just thought I'd pitch in my two cents:

Despite being 3rd party and not being recommended and yada-yada-yada I decided to try the j-hc magisk module anyway. Works like a charm, and guess what? No extra app needed! If there's a magisk module of anything, I'd be happy to take advantage of it.

Anywho I really appreciate this guide mate. With all the different varieties and variants it can get confusing.

Update: Well, I may have eaten my own words. It seems that because an update (or was it?) the magisk module-patched YT app no longer works, and the entire app name is somehow replaced by something like "Since 2020, such and such features of Vanced is no longer working" (don't remember the exact wording, deleted the app).

Ended up using the official revanced manager and patched the app from there. So yeah, I guess the official way is the way to go.

... something like "Since 2020, such and such features of Vanced is no longer working"

Are you talking about Vanced or ReVanced.

If you really had the old Vanced root version (installed as module or by the old Vanced manager), then it had to be a pre-historic version of YT (from the time when Vanced ceased) and no wonder that it stopped working at some point

To the contrary, I just updated again my ReVanced.io aka j-hc module (as every other day when my Magisk, Modules indicate the update is available) and rebooted couple of times to make sure, and it still works perfect as it always does

See the screenshots

Despite all those 'not safe' warnings (spread out mostly by some who admitted they don't have root, hence never used it)...

I'm talking about Revanced, but I think the message said vanced. Then again I'm not so sure as I already deleted it.

IIRC my app version was on 17.49.34. I just recently updated it to 17.49.37 for revanced manager compatibility.

To the contrary, I just updated again my ReVanced.io aka j-hc module (as every other day when my Magisk, Modules indicate the update is available) and rebooted couple of times to make sure, and it still works perfect as it always does

Tbh the problem was probably not that common and had a very specific trigger. I'm sure if I reinstalled the magisk module or updated or downgraded the YT app it would work again. Didn't expect such a thing to happen in the first place, so was probably just triggered by something specific.

Despite all those 'not safe' warnings (spread out mostly by some who admitted they don't have root, hence never used it)

Yes, this is exactly what I've been saying myself. Have you seen the reddit threads? I've been quelling the skeptics/worriers there who claim that the magisk module is malware.

Mate get a life. This thread is about ReVanced and ReVanced Extended not ReVanced IO. I see most of your replies are only related to revanced io.
I can use root on my 2nd device but I don't even get in trouble to test those modules or apks since I don't care.
Say the same to Official ReVanced Developers "who spread out all those safe warnings" in Discord and Reddit posts. I just say what the team said. Got it?
The user reported an issue with that module and still your problem is with me and how to find ways to blame me? What are u doing here? We are low lvl noobs and we don't understand anything as you said in your previous posts.

Then change the thread title and
remove Revanced extended....
as it is not supported or endorsed by official Revanced team

First of all, I decide how I am gonna call my thread and what is all about, not you or ur friend. I don't know why u are mad from the first time I opened this thread and both of you attacking me with the first chance. Do you lost your place to promote io and you are mad?
zgfg reply only to say how low level knowledge we have and only promoting revanced io.

ReVanced Extended is Open Source project and Official ReVanced Team support to change Sources in ReVanced Manager for that reason (not only for Extended but for other forks too). You can build it by ur own. And so far I haven't seen any warning by the developers about Extended, they just don't accept bugs/issue from Extended since it's a fork and they are not related with development of that fork.

Revanced io is a sketchy website, is not related to ReVanced Team but they don't mention it anywhere in their site to be transparent. You don't know how they build and what the final .apk may contain. Because something is working fine doesn't mean it's safe. The team has already announced a lot of warnings about it, so I don't know why u blaming me for having it as note and I recommend people to use it by their own risk?

Quick question...
What will Revanced official teams response would be for the personal builds you are asking user's to install?

How different are your personal builds from Revanced io ?

They will probably say the same as they would for all the "ready" .apks.

The difference tho is that I am transparent. I never claimed ReVanced is my project and I support and provide all the infos, guides and official links to the users to build by themselves using the Official Method which I also used to provide these .apks. I am not asking or force anyone to use my .apks as you falsely said, in fact I recommend and provide support to users to build themselves the way they want with the patches they want. Otherwise I would just share the .apks here without spent time to write all these at OP and helping users with their questions for building.

Also I shared these to a forum related with "mods" not in my own website. I am very transparent how I build these .apks and which patches I used. I have no development skills and even if I wanted to include something shady to the app I couldn't. I am RC & Translator for years in XDA Community, you can see my history in my profile (compared to YOU which you have it closed) and I only posted those .zips to help people who had/has X trouble to build by themselves in their phones or they didn't wanted to mess with building, after I took the permission by a Moderator (of this forum).

Edit: I linked this post at my OP near my Download ready .apk(s) link and also in my Download post.

Hi Retrial

I'm not sure if this is currently happening in the official YouTube app because the background play feature doesn't work without buying a Premium supscription, and I have no intentions on going Premium.

Can anybody here post a screenshot of what their media controls look like when background play is enabled on the lockscreen of their smartphone when using any one of the several YouTube clients/apps out there?

So it happens after a certain version of Vanced and then it's still there in newest version of ReVanced Extended. Did you tried the Official ReVanced? I still think it's Google that changed it so you can't do much as I said.
I attached a screenshot from Lockscreen using Android 13 and ReVanced Extended.

No I haven't tried the official ReVanced but I think you are right that it was Google themselves that have forced this change. Thank you for posting a screenshot of your lockscreen for reference.

The lockscreen player you are getting is at least an improvement over what I am getting because of the thumbnail being restored in the background, but yeah even in your screenshot I notice no rewind and fast forward seek controls.

Not sure why Google did this because NewPipe and PocketCasts (which is the Podcast player I use), both have seek buttons as media controls that are present on the lockscreen.

You can "scrub" forwards and backwards.
Grab the marker on the time bar and go left (back) or right (forward).



Cheers.

<SNIP>

Not fair but, I see where it comes off that way.

I trust zgfg's judgment when it comes to Magisk modules and modifications.
Personal interactions might blind me slightly.

It is only an explanation of a users experience using the module.
Apparently happy with using the module from the io site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

--

Has anyone figured out where the io site comes from?
When I originally looked at the module, I noticed the modified version was smaller than it should be.

<SNIP>
They also include stock YT in the module zip so, the matching stock version is installed during the module install.
The modified (patched) version is smaller than the stock version though..
<SNIP>

If I remember correctly the mod file was missing arch.

Cheers.

 

[ipdev]

You can fix the issue in your module using same technique, by mounting from a different path.

When I have some time I will look into it a bit.

iYTm - [ GitHub ] - Commit

This way the adb directory stays a little more sorted in my opinion.

Looks cleaner to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯​

Thanks again for pointing out the mount from inside the module directory tripping Momo (Magisk found).

Cheers.

Completely understand my dude, never said any of this was spread by you. I know you're just following 'protocol' and I respect it.

 

[aron11195]

found a bug, if you turn off the screen while youtube is playing on fullscreen the video brightness is stuck with auto-brightness hdr on.

don't know if its only revance extended or official revance has it too.

I believe he wants the old school with buttons 10sec forward/rewind.
But player also depends on Android version and on Google. xD I guess it's time for him to move on and adapt the "modern" youtube player. xD

I didn't said to not share his experience or his "knowledge" about that site which still remains sketchy (My main concern is for the .apk they provide in the site, not so much for the module from j-hc since it's open source). But been disrespectful and have that attitude with irony posts, from the day he(they) found that thread, is meh. I don't know from where this attitude came from.

As you can see I have thirdy party sources section which people can use by their own risk if they want, but allow me to have a warning note about these sources and don't blame me for something Official Team has already announced multiple times. The facts are facts and I won't close my eyes to these warnings and mislead the users. They need to know which site is official and which is not to avoid confusion as already exist. I provide all the infos, the end user decide what to do. Where am I wrong?
The user NeonHD reported an issue with that module and it's my fault?

Also the apk from that site have significant different size, doesn't pop up a warning from Play Store while u installing it like with official builds, they probably use ReVanced Extended patches to build but they don't mention it in their site, and generally I've seen reports from people which encounter shady situations like they found on search words without even search these like roblox etc. Read this.

Has anyone figured out where the io site comes from?

I don't know what you mean here. If you mean from where they build, they probably with Extended patches.

Completely understand my dude, never said any of this was spread by you. I know you're just following 'protocol' and I respect it.

Thanks for understanding. You are free to use whatever u want with ur own risk but let me provide you all the infos (include warnings) and decide by urself.

• Added a Date Format "DD-MM-YYYY" in Build Date at Download post.
• Added a link to a post near Download of my ready .apks(s) link at OP and in the Download post, which I explain about my intension to share these .apks and how I am different from revanced io site.
• Added a warning and links to read about Third Party APK(s).
• Added a completely new section for the j-hc Magisk Module which seems legit and is also open source and separated it from the io site.
• Added ReVanced Extended Custom Icon List at Build & Installation Guide in Extended section, which you can see how the icons from the patches look like.
• Removed from the Bug section the issue with timpestamp for ReVanced Extended. It's fixed now.

Happy New Year everyone!

 

[scrubjay55]

• Added a warning and links to read about Third Party APK(s)/Magisk Modules. A special mention note for j-hc magisk module which seems "legit", however It's still not encouraged to use different .apks and magisk modules beyond the official way stated by the official team but it's your choice.

The thing about revanced-magisk-module, its not just somewhere to download modules and apks from. Its the most extensive builder for revanced and a wrapper fot the cli. The installation and mount scripts of the module is better. It actually uses a custom cli as well. And it's just open source bash scripts. There is nothing possibly non-legit about it.
It's very weird you even put revanced io next to it which distributes closed source apks. If it contained malware, we wouldnt even know about it.

No problem. The credit belongs here. You should give more thought before judging someone's code and saying "not sure if they know how modules work".

I put revanved io next to it since io redirect to that module.
I will create another section just for jc-hc module. As I said my main concern is about io site with their .apk not so much with the module which is open source (still needs someone to audit it if not happened already - i guess already happened).
Anyways I will create another section just for the magisk module.
Thanks and happy new year!
