I just want to say a BIG thank you to the user heos0o for the screen off playback mod. I listen to podcasts on YouTube on a daily basis and used an old Android 2.3 device with YouTube app 2.2.16 (which has screen-off playback by default) for years but I was quite worried when I noticed that YouTube 2.2.16 no longer works on my new Android 4.3 device. I tried all other old YouTube builds that I could find but all failed to run or failed to play with screen off.

Well, your 4.x builds work flawlessly on my new Huawei Ascend P7 mini and will (hopefully) give me many more years of screen-off podcast listening. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] vleutmans:
Yes it has AdBlock. No damn advertisements in YouTube. Great success !!!
[Android Apps and Games] clockcycle:
Nice thanks for the reply., does it have a background play option?
[Android Apps and Games] vleutmans:
Yes background play you can set in the advanced settings.

I really like this YouTube player. Somehow no other developer dares to make something like this....Must be illegal :) one more reason to like it.
[Android Apps and Games] clockcycle:
It allows playing with screen off, but I dont see a background option.
[Android Apps and Games] vleutmans:
Indeed it only plays when screen is off, not when put in the background.

Workaround for playing youtube in background:

There exist many free web browsers in google play store that will play youtube movies in the background. Just try some.

An example is " Via web browser". When you open m.youtube.com it will keep playing the sound in background and also when screen is off.

Note: make sure not to "greenify" or "doze" the specific web browser, as it will stop the background playing ofcourse.

Local mirrors for the APKs

Somebody I referred was trying to downloaded these but Dev-Host has become so nasty, it's useless trying to download anything from there, therefore I've attached the files to this post to anyone that may be trying to download these. These are the original APKs shared by the OP and the MD5 hashes match as well. They're still working fantastically on KitKat and lower ROMs. I hope the OP has no objections! Thank you for the great work!

Guys dont download its a virus, it hust downloads a file manager plus he violating xdas terms if using dht as a file hoster
[Android Apps and Games] Flippy498:
Please remember the age of this thread, guys. Dev-Host had a partnership with XDA in the past and that's why the OP used it as his file hoster and that's why we

don't punish

everyone who's currently still using it. Instead we try to contact them and to convince them to change their file hoster.

Be aware that the OP's last login was

before

Dev-Host has become rogue. Normally I'd have contacted him now and kindly asked him to change his file hoster but that isn't possible if he isn't using his account, anymore. Therefore, and because using the blue download button is totally fine (in other words: doesn't lead to any malware installations) I only added some warnings to the opening post.

Dont work on my Opt3 Freedom ROM. ;(
[Android Apps and Games] TheQuickFox:
I've been using this app for years now (YT_4.4.11_v5b_inverted.apk) but since December 10th, 2017 I only get error 401 (There was a network error) when trying to do anything. (Including logging in, searching, getting a list of videos)

It looks like Google has pulled the plug on some background services used by the older versions. I wonder if there is an updated YouTube .apk that supports screenoff playback that still works by today. I'm using Android 4.3 because I have an older smartphone and I refuse to keep buying new ones every three years.
[Android Apps and Games] vleutmans:
Try this one.. It works adfree and even today.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900/page631

The non root vanced version you even can load next to the original (evil) YouTube.

Don't forget to include microg 0.2.4 so the tweaked YouTube is able to login with your Google account.

Enjoy!!!!

[Android Apps and Games] TheQuickFox:

The app is quite nice, with background playback and no ads.

This is by far THE BEST version of YT that exists... period! Been using it for years and love the **** out of it cuz of my addiction to Progressive Trance, Dance, EDC music... wgich leads to new discoveries and an ever-growing playlist. Just one question though....

Does this version provide offline music playback??

Reason for asking, I will be deploying overseas (to a generally safe zone) and will probably not have reliable wifi access. So I need to know if offline access is possible or if I need to find the songs in my playlist and download them to an external HDD?

Question:

When HD is off, what is it on? HQ or low quality?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
hq
[Android Apps and Games] jokkir:
Thank you! Sorry but I have another question ><

When using the "WiFi HD" version and you're on a 3G connection, does it disable HD completely and enable you to watch videos in Low Quality/High Quality or will the option of HD just not appear and just allow you to watch videos in HQ?

For example:

Currently on 3G connection:

HD button is gone

HQ button is there to replace HD button. Can enable it or disable it to switch for HQ to LQ

[Android Apps and Games] Skizzy034:
What is the difference between this and the youtube app in the play store? I have the one from the play store and it shows HD.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Your phone or tablet has 1280x720+ resolution, that's why you have HD with the untouched youtube app.

The (poor :p) rest of us have devices with lower resolutions (eg. 800x480) that have no HD support without this mod :)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
youtube

It is not consistently that slow. It depends upon the speed of you connection at the time. If I have a strong 3g connection, I have no problems with it loading fast or even buffering. A weaker 3g signal is another matter. Overall, I prefer this modded app.:D
[Android Apps and Games] tarroyo:

[Android Apps and Games] a3d35232:
Digging a bit further, the issue seems to be that, on my tablet, the app is making the following request to the youtube server:

{uri='https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/newsubscriptionvideos?format=2%2C3%2C8%2C9&start-index=1&max-results=15&safeSearch=moderate&restriction=ZH', userAuth='accountName=[######@gmail.com]', headers='{}', content='null'}

ZH is a ISO 639-1 language code (Chinese, as it turns out), not an ISO 3166 country code.

Any chance you could patch the app to set the restriction to null?

It's not an Internet problem. I think it has something to do with the app. Cuz on the ics version, it runs smoothly, but on the gb one, it doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Mardon:
If u have ics you should use the ics version otherwise ics needs to activate the support for older apks compatibility. That is maybe the reason for the buffering problem if u use gb version on ics. Its better to use ics version on ics to avoid such problems.
