What kind of question is that?

I had to take two deep breathes before answering you here...

The dev hasn't slept for 24 hours working on his site redesign. And I've been putting most of my free time for the last 3 weeks doing the theme for the no-root version... So please excuse my blunt response, but I'm gonna ask: was is your contribution here?

Again: asking when will something be available is against Xda rules. So take what is offered and please don't ask this type of question. You probably meant no arm, but try to see it the other way around... It seems like the more people get freebies, the more they ask... a bit unfair don't you think?
[Android Apps and Games] danyldft:
I did not ask when anything will be available, read well.

And I never ask about updates, I know the rules.

I did not want to offend anyone.

Closed topic.

Guys, just out of curiosity - why does ogyt need access to my contacts for downloading from YT?

BTW dark mod is awesome! :D

[Android Apps and Games] f41lbl0g:
[MENTION=4937202]OGMods[/MENTION] Could you add signature spoofing support for the xposed version of ogyt? (just need to add FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE permission to permission list) This way people on nougat are also able to use the xposed version without needing microG for OGYT.

Additionally, I'd recommend to add youtube adaway built into the app. Arter97's youtube has these built into the app, and it works perfectly. Maybe they could be used as a base for future versions. IYTBP mod also uses these as the base.

Thank you ogmods for this amazing app. I know you have been working constantly on this project. You don't have to implement any of this, these are just my suggestions on how you can make this app even better.

By the way, for those wanting a dark theme on their app (root version or xposed version), Swift Dark substratum theme is able to theme Ogyoutube perfectly.

Unfortunately there is this kind of idiot in the Portuguese translation. In the "Downloads" string there is the "Filmes de terror" (Horror movies) suggestion and in the "Loading.." string there are two emails in the suggestions, unfortunately one of them is applied at that moment. Please remove these trolls. And thank you for your great work!
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
My guess is that the app needs that permission just in order to get your login email address. I also wish that this could be kept turned off, but knowing how Google can tend to make things messy for devs, I'm not surprised to see that.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Shyam Bairi:
Can't you please provide an option to install this app as a different app. I don't want to uninstall YouTube app. Is there any way to keep both the apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
There are 3 versions.

The root version

The un-root version

The xposed version

Download and install the un-root version. You'll still be able to keep the original YouTube app.
[Android Apps and Games] Shyam Bairi:
Can I use both the apps, with the unroot version.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
Yes. The signature/package name is different so you'll be able to install and use both.

Why did i get the ad instead the original video name ???

Although i can fix it by going to the video again and going back to the background...
[Android Apps and Games] trtlja:
Why there is still audio on the background without notification icon? Screen is off.

Brightness/volume/sleek not working on portrait mode. And video brightness is always too high by default
[Android Apps and Games] freakerload:
Who needs that Options on portrait mode?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Well... if screen is off, I wouldn't expect to see a notification icon...

[emoji1]

But seriously, you can't expect help without giving more details like the bare minimum: phone type, rom used (Android version) and steps to reproduce the issue including the app settings related to the problem.

I went on anyway and tried every way I could imagine to put a video in background mode, then turned off then screen and once turned back on, I either had a screen-wide notification and a background image on my lockscreen or a statusbar icon (see pic). So please do your part in being more clear in your description or this will likely get ignored

Same as above: what's your rom/Android version (not everyone knows what a "patriot mode" is - I don't and why should I search for it?) and what are your OGYT swipe settings set at? How are you trying to adjust brightness: in portrait mode (which shouldn't work - as explained in tge settings description..) or in landscape? What happens when you turn the swipe settings off and adjust brightness from your device's settings?

- - - - -

General reminder once more:

if you want help or report a bug: give as much details as possible and system logs.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Oh geez I need more coffee; I thought "patriot mode" was a device name... - LOL

(freakerload gave the answer while I was writing my long one above...)

Yes: how hard is it to flip your phone and adjust it?

Although: is it only the first time you start the app or does this happen every time? (I just don't feel like testing it atm...)

On it not being possible in portrait mode,

my guess is that one of the reason is that on devices with small screens, that would create other problems. I've tested a beta version where there was such an issue on the smallest of my 2 phones: it was almost impossible to swipe down on a video in portrait mode to minimize it. So I largely prefer not having portrait brightness adjustment than not being able to send a video at the bottom of the screen...
[Android Apps and Games] hrockh:
FINALLY an app that works! I've been looking for a YT alternative, as the Google one has way, way too many ads. Even halfway through the video! unbelievable.

Anyway, this wonderful app made it all disappear. Thank you very much indeed, keep up the good work.

EDIT

it does not block ads :(
[Android Apps and Games] Shyam Bairi:
Whenever I click a video to play it on OG YouTube, the brightness of the video page is increased to full, and it is not controlled by the system brightness. And as I exit the video, the brightness is changed to normal.

Also it takes forever to parse download links.

Please fix.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

The gesture controls are not working properly, I have to try 3 to 4 times to change volume, the brightness control gesture takes even more. And I'm not able to get how to use the seek gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
What are your swipe features set at? Did you even go to settings and read the description of each?

Fix slow parsing or what? Aren't you happy to have a parsing of video in tge first place?

Geez! How thankful that all sounded anyway...

You get an awesome app for free, and you can not even come up with one positive comment. I'd even bet that your 'bug report' on swipe features is largely due to you not understanding how they work... So we have to explain them to you now?

You've clearly have not search this thread or read 3 or 4 pages back anyway... This discussion thread in in a dev section isn't it?

Sorry if I sound pissed, but I am. It's been one comment like this after another: people asking to be spoonfed, asking and reporting issues without describing anything and never showing any sign of grattitude. And I have seen too many Xda discussion threads get closed and great devs leave because that very problem...

I might be getting to old for this I guess...
[Android Apps and Games] Shyam Bairi:
I apologize for being a newbie to XDA forums and bug reporting. I'm a big fan of OG YouTube, and kindly wanted to help in improving the app, so I blindly reported what I experienced with this app.

Sorry for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Kamil30:

[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
well I'm sorry to have dropped that on you. I don't mind helping out even newbies. It's been a long day. if that's any excuse...

Please try again at expanding your issue wirh swipe gesture but please also go threw the app settings and read three or four pages back; swiping gestures have been covered in a great extent.

[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
I'm just being curious here...: is that even possible with the normal YouTube app?

I am getting old: I remember that my first smartphone was barely able to play 720p (@29-30fps) videos without crashing....

Efit: although I have no interest in such higb resolution/framerate videos, I just tried and could play a 60fps 1440p (quad HD) video (granted horrible buffering) [<edit: not true: 1440p playback was not at 60fps />] and even download a 2440p one!!

So my guess here is that your request is uncalled for or the problem is on your device side. And btw, not all videos are available at such quality (as you probably know) and internet connection BW (speed) better be extremely good.
[Android Apps and Games] -->:
Well that was huge... ???
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
That's for a 3 minutes video... so no wonder there is buffering...
[Android Apps and Games] moosc:
Ok just deleted YouTube, dl app and micro app but still can't get logged in. Tells me sorry. Google pixel xl rooted, twrp, 7.1.2. The older versions I didn't have a issue logging in.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Well with a bit more testing, I can't say for sure that the "can't play over 1080p/60fps" isn't true.

Because all that I could find were videos claiming 1440p/60fps but which I was only able to set at a max of 1080/60 (no higher res even at lower fps) for playback eventhough, downloads for higher res were possible BUT not at 60fps.

Didn't verify on the PC what was really available for playback either.

I don't know: OG wrote earlier that he removed show all qualities options so maybe yes some are missing. Maybe it is also a mix of what is really available and what your hardware is capable of.

So whoever asked: why not be pro-active next time and go on your PC, verify that a video is really offered at 1440p/60fps and share a link here? (That would have saved me an hour of playing around... but I know, no one forced me to do all that...)

In any case, if I ever want watch such videos, I'll use the PC to download them and it will definitely not be streaming playback... especially not on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] 24imelqui:
Black looks reallly awesome! thanks for the mod!
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Thanks, glad you like it.

- - -

Here's an example of video where on the PC, which YT clearly identify as playable up to 2160p/60fps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyFR0pnpVDg

or same:

https://youtu.be/EyFR0pnpVDg

Although, my downloader on PC states the same, saved videos are at 30fps.

On OGYT, playback is maxed at 1080p/60fps, but downloads are available for 1440p and 2160p at 30fps.

So I don't know why when there is 60fps available for download, playback quality is then not offered for higher res like for others without 60fps.

And that's all I will spam the thtead with on this subject... Sorry about all those long posts OG...

3.1 non-root and black theme working great here. Xperia Z2, Android 6.0.1 (Existenz Marshmallow Rom). Thanks alot OG and AL! :good:

But on my nephews device (Wiko Pulp 3G - Android 5.1 rooted) we got two problems:

1. Black theme not working. Stock package installer refused to install apk. Had to use FX's root installer. Apk installed, but theme not working.

2. Search history and last viewed history not showing any entry, although my nephew is logged into his account.

Any ideas or suggestions?

We will do a logcat and I'll post it later...

Same here. Any fix for no ads for rooted phones? Can we just take the non root apk? What's the difference between the two?
[Android Apps and Games] xXHenlolXx:
Just use Lucky Patcher
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
1. Are you sure its the non root version that you're using? Or maybe the file got corrupted during download. That would cause the "app not installed" error when using the stock package installer.

2. Check if the watch/search history has been paused. You can find the option somewhere in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Thanks.

1. The apk doesn't install should go before saying theme not working. I greatly doubt that the changes that I've made to the app would create installation problems. So that has to be looked into first. I don't know what FX root installer is, but still, I will not comment more if the app can't be installed with the normal package installer.

2. That too has most likely nothing to do with my theme unless it would be black text on black background. But you would see the search icon and the go (arrow) icons anyway and pressing the screen below tge search bar would initiate a search (if it was really a visibility issue). My guess is that he has some sort of ad blocker and/or modified hosts file that is blocking the connection to the YT stats servers.

Sorry those logs tell me nothing. Let's see if OG has any idea (and if I have any other once I finish my first coffee of the day...).

Yes you can. It's been explained lately, but just changes related to the package ID. Root is basically the YouTube app and non-root is like a separate app called OGYoutube. Phones without root can not remove a system pre-installed YT so that's why they have no other choice to use something named differently. Root can even install both versions at same time... I've had v0.9 no root and v2.1 root on not too long ago...
[Android Apps and Games] laggardkernel:
I made three kind of magisk modules based on v3.1 release and put them on GitHub. It seems they are too big to be uploaded in the post.

Three OGYouTube(Magisk modules) are released here(Github). Flashing them in Recovery and through Magisk Manager both should work. Tested on my OnePlus 3 with Magisk v12.

OGYouTube will replace the existing YouTube system app systemlessly.

Xposed version is only for devices with xposed framework installed. The OGMods xposed module will be installed into /data automatically for YouTube login. OGMods will also be automatically enabled in Xposed Installer through script in the flashable zip.

Rooted version is only for devices with root access. MicroG for OGYouTube will be installed into /data automatically for YouTube login.

Unified version combined the two kinds of YouTube above with bigger size. It will choose one of them for you during installation.

Nonroot version is NOT included because it has a different package name compared with the official YouTube, which means it don't need to replace the official one in /system.

just wanna report some problems i have experienced but no big deal [MENTION=3703649][] AL [][/MENTION] [MENTION=4937202]OGMods[/MENTION]

1) sometimes gestures doesnt work. what i have noticed when it doesnt work, i can tap to seek (cant disable this either, probs would fix the problem)

i can just change video for it to work again, its hard to reproduce because its just random. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

2) im using ogyoutube dark themed 3.1 just because ogyoutube 3.1 root and xposed versions force close when playing videos from google play

im on galaxy note4 MM 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Today I wrote a comment (one of my first ever few) on a YT channel and since I wanted to know when I'd get a reply, I turned on notifications for that. A bit later, I did receive a push notification (which is great) but once I've pressed it, the app started loading, but then I got a FC.

So [MENTION=4937202]OGMods[/MENTION]: I kind of remember you asking me if notifications problem was still present or not and I've then replied that things were fine because pressing a completed download notification got fixed. So this might be a different issue here and I'm also not sure if it could not be due to my edited hosts file blocking my connection to YT commenting history servers or not (like I believe is the case for my search watch history).

I don't have a log to give for now as I saw my email address at a few places on the one I could salvage afterwards and don't want to post it publicly. But next time I receive such a notification, I'll make sure to start my logging app before pressing it, will clean up the log and share it here.

One bit that caught my eye in that first log though was the following:

E/AndroidRuntime(24077): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {com.google.android.ogyoutube/com.google.android.apps.ogyoutube.app.WatchWhileActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String net.ogmods.youtube.PreferencesManager.getDefaultScreen()' on a null object reference

So again, I'm not sure if it is related to pressing the reply on comment notification or not, but that's all i got for now.

Cheers.

[Android Apps and Games] krembuk:
microg is working, now. thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] MetalWarrior:
Yes, I'm sure it's the non root version. And download is not corrupted. I used the exact same apk on my device and everything is working fine. I sent the three apks (microG 2.1 / Ogyoutube 3.1 non-root / Theme for 3.1) via Bluetooth to my nephew, so these are really the same I used.

Both history options are not paused.

FX is a file manager with root capabilities. As the onboard package installer didn't install the theme apk, I used FX's root package installer which never lets me down. It always succeeds in installing apks where normal installer fails. I didn't know this could be problematic...

Regarding the history problem I will try to find out if AdAway may be the cause. Maybe it's blocking the YT stats servers, as you suppose. Otherwise I'm running AdAway, too, and got no problems with YT history...

Thank you!

[MENTION=4937202]OGMods[/MENTION] website is down?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Well, all I can say is in this case, grabbing a log from the app crashing would be the most useful thing to do. Nothing can be done or looked at on guess work...

As for the search and watch history, I am planning to try using the app with an empty (default state) hosts file tomorrow to see if this is really what causes the problem (I don't use any other ad blocking method/app). So it should be easy to get an answer on that.

I think that this request is out of place here.

If OG had wanted to remove ads from his app, I'm sure he could have done it long ago and easily... You have to remember which company we're dealing with here and there are some lines which it's better not to cross...

In any case, please refrain from such discussions on this thread and use PM (personal messaging) instead so that you don't risk penalizing all of us here by getting the thread killed.

Even if there is/was, you'd end up having either a cropped or streched video playback. Not to mention how old 4:3 videos would look...
