Easy, here's what I did:

1. Disabling the original version:

Settings >> Application manager >> All >> YouTube >> {Uninstall Updates then Disable}

2. Download and install OG YouTube... Don't run it

3. Download and Install the micro app

4. Login YT and enjoy :svetius:

I didn't get an answer so I'll ask again

I'm having trouble downloading using OGYoutube, i get this error

Anyone know how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
This is a long standing error that, as far as I am aware, has no solution.
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
Does not work for me. (Nougat, S7).
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Oh boy.. If I have a nougat device I would've further assist with helping you.
[Android Apps and Games] Meskalin1983:
For me to...i have S7edge with Nougat and can not Login. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxx84:
Download features and settings no longer works. Also with previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Where can i download an older version?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Same here. Mentioned it a while ago. Doesn't seem to be a priority. But for me at least, that feature is THE reason to install the app! But as soon as I tap on "Download" in the apps' Settings to set the Download path, it crashes (that setting doesn't even open up)! And this is with 2 different versions, across 4 devices (different Brands/Models/Android Versions)! And no offense to the Devs, but reporting an issue in here is like shouting into an echo chamber! I know everybody's busy. But it has been a REALLY LONG time, without a peep even just acknowledging that yes, okay, we're aware of it guys and we're getting to it, thanks. :)

And so of course, since it's been around a year now with no fix in sight, I said scr*w it, uninstalled it (I think I've been WAY more than patient!) and then installed the actual Google YouTube app and wouldn't ya know it, when I try to play a video in it, like a lot of other folks right now, I'm getting that error that says it can't play it and shows a "Play ID" or some such thing with a long ID after it. Of course! :)

Useless posts without error logs and at least giving details on your ROM/ configs. This is a developers forum not a help desk...

Like for any other apk, have a look at apkmirror.com...
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Thanks

--Edit--

I updated the app to the latest version, the error doesn't appear anymore i can download again
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxx84:
I always used ogyoutube and I'm in beta's group of Osama. I think there's a problem with others google services. The app needs an upgrade. Since latest version modded a lot of people have problems to access in og settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Paradox4LF:
Excellent Work ??
[Android Apps and Games] androidgaming:
Nice effort!

Youtube downloading is a major issue among people these days. But these apps have totally changed the situation. Still I was thinking that is it aloud to download youtube videos? is there any copyright issue with that? :confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] hackdrag0n:
Fair use applies. It's ok to download it for personal use but it's not ok to redistribute it.
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxx84:
The app crash when loading e video o mp3 to download. Start loading from 0 to 100% and crash. I always you same rom and before never get crash.

Edit: I tried to install older version, including beta, and not work anymore. Example I install root version with xposed module and it always ask me to download micro-og apk.

Re-Edit: I tried v1.1 and there's no voice about download when I see a video.
[Android Apps and Games] nitrous²:
Confirmed. Galaxy S7 Edge on Nougat. It did work at the beginning but just today, I got connection errors so I tried a fresh install of MicroG and OGYouTube. After reinstalling, I can no longer login.

What device and Android version are you running?

Is this app still in development?
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxx84:
Now I tried OGYouTube with microg apk and same problems. Can't download and crash when I try to enter in og settings.
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
so guys, with ogyoutube 2.1 + micro g before 25 december 2016 this login problem also happened, and no one with new instalations of this program could make login

then after some days the problem fixed for itself, i don´t know what allowed the login, but i think that something being updated in playstore make that

only solution back then when login wasn´t working with micro g was install

ogyoutube 1.2 + 3 fixes

this was working with login
[Android Apps and Games] hackdrag0n:
Wouldn't surprise me if Google changed some code to block microg. It could be considered as a security exploit.
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
hmmm if that happens why after some days, login was working again with micro g

this is very strange

only ogyoutube devoloper can say something about this
[Android Apps and Games] hackdrag0n:
For you maybe but not others it should seem. I have been trying for a week, from the time I got a new phone. It's still working fine on my old device.
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
i think not, i also change phone from month to month

last time i had this problem was before Christmas, with 2 diferent phones, oneplus 3 and meizu pro 5, then the problem fixed for itself

about a week ago i have this problem with new phone, zuk z2

i hope same happen like last time and problem fix for itself

besides that old version of ogyoutube 1.2 + 3 fixes for login should work fine
[Android Apps and Games] hackdrag0n:
Using YouTube red now. I ran out of patience. If I'm lucky someone might release xposed for nougat soon.

I have Xperia XZ running android 7.0, Your app work fine with it

But three days before i receive January 2017 security patches update, and after update i was unable to sign in with my account in your app

Then I uninstall both apps and then reinstall OGyoutube & microG and give all permissions, But still unable to sign in.

App working fine but i was unable to signin, Can you please update microG app to support 7.0 with January security patches.
[Android Apps and Games] nitrous²:
Oh, lucky you. If YouTube Red was available here I'd subscribe in an instant. But I heard people using it were complaining about still having to see ads. Is that true?

Can you explain to us what exactly "OGYouTube 1.2 + 3" is? I can't find it anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
you need to download old ogyoutube 1.2 + 3 app fixes ( this 3 fixes were replaced by micro g)

GoogleServicesFramework (GSF)

GoogleAccountManager (GAM)

GooglePlayServices (GMS)

you should get the app to work, because in december when this problem happened i test this app and it was working and making login

you can get the app here

[Android Apps and Games] gadget_boy:
2.1 doesn't work with Nougat. Google have probably patched google play services somehow to block MicroG.

OG 1.2 does work. You will need OG Youtube 1.2, Mgoogleplayservices, mgoogleaccount and mgoogleservices. All can be downloaded from here:

http://www.underclassblog.com/2016/01/ogyoutube-1-2-mod-apk.html

Careful on that page, add frenzy!
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
i don´t know if this is the problem

because back in december when this happened i try to make login in oneplus 3 with 6.0 and in a meizu pro 5 with android5.1
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
ogyoutube 2.1 works with nougat, i can assure this!!

now the problem with login is for all people, not for people that use nougat only
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
It is not working in Nougat...
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
sorry, i tested with RR 7.1.1.

i tested now and is fully working

login is working 100% and i have nougat
[Android Apps and Games] Slypnslyde:

[Android Apps and Games] Paradox4LF:
In other words, my device has to be rooted in order to apply the fixes? I'm confused…

I downloaded the two files originally from the OP. Everything works however I can't login.

Please explain to me in gindergarden terms, I'm dumb lol
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:

[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hey,

OK! I have taken the liberty of tracking down the "OG YouTube (10.45.53) v1.2" app thru another source that didn't have all those adds. It's not the "Xposed YouTube Replacement" version, but you can use it that way if you want, meaning that you don't have to have the "Official YouTube" app installed for this to work.

I already had the "MGoogle" Apk's (3 of them) and have included them.

So what I did, was to rename the Apk's so that it's easy to identify which one is what and I numbered them in the order they should be installed. The order may not be that important, but originally I was told to install them in that order and it did work, so that's how I numbered them. :)

In addition, I also wrote up a text for how to install it and for if it doesn't work, what the problem probably is and how to fix it.

This is the complete setup, with instructions and it can be used as your standalone YouTube app. I personally don't know of any difference between the two, besides how the "Sign In" is enabled (whether by an Xposed Mod, or by the MGoogle Service).

Anyway, it should work fine, as I created the Zip myself from the very same files I had just finished using to install it on my Note 4, running KitKat 4.4.4 (my phone is Rooted, but yours doesn't need to be) and then immediately tested UnZipping it. I then sent it up to my DropBox account, so we know that works. :)

But if you do have any related issues, please let me know. By the way, whenever you run the app, if it tells you there's an "Update", just choose "Later". It is referring to the "Official YouTube" app, which is NOT what you want! :)

Here is the link to it: https://db.tt/5LfKnBKPXx

TTYL & Enjoy! :)

Did the Install Text come in handy? Anything lacking in it?

TTYL
[Android Apps and Games] dentedilupo:
that is not your metod

in december when login in 2.1 was not working i had a old version of ogyoutube( 1.2) and try to make login, back then there wasnt any micro g, so trick was using the 3 apps to allow login

there is no order in instalation, but its good you upload all in 1 download with all apps with no adds

lets hope next week that logins will work again in 2.1, because in 1.2 downloads dont work and its lot buggy than 2.1
[Android Apps and Games] davidow:
Thanks. The text you write was great lol I was laugh when you suggest to throw phone against wall???. I was using og xposed and microg too. I first wipe data on both apps and then uninstall. Reboot and follow your instructions and voila! I was available to sing in on og youtube 1.2. It's working great ???
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
What's the difference between xposed and normal version?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
I didn't say that I created the "MGoogle" files and I don't think anyone took it that way, since that's not what the word "method" means. A "method" is the way you do something, not the invention of the something.

I.e., my "method" for getting the smoothest surface on a rough 2X4 may work, where yours doesn't work as well, or at all. But that doesn't mean I'm claiming that I invented sanding, nor sandpaper. :)

In fact, I even stated that I numbered the files because "that's the order I was told, way back, to install them in". That clearly shows that I'm in no way even trying to imply, let alone state that I created the Apk's.

I simply did what no one else seems willing to do in so many cases and so I end up doing it. I gather all of the necessary files together after tracking down OG v1.2 (I couldn't get it from the site posted), or whatever App/ROM it happens to be.

I also write a detailed, step by step method for installing it and either include it as a text file, or as a post, because I'm just so damn sick of so many rude bastards yelling at people "Go read!", while not a damn one of them wrote anything! READ WHAT?!?

Anyway, in this case it happened to be the MGoogle Apk's and the OGYouTube app, which even OG hasn't cared to make available (v1.2) and save lots of people lots of time, including themselves. I also wrote into the text file a section about a common problem that occurs, what's causing it and how to resolve it quickly and easily. THAT is my "method". :)

Yes, you're right, hopefully it'll be cleared up. Your hope has my vote! <lol>

But I have to tell you, I am now doubting that I'll update. There's just been too many major problems (some Google's doing, of course) with no updates (if it's not on Google's end), while the whole time, OG's v1.2 keeps working! So while we all deal with the hard pull to what's new and shiny, I think this time I'm just going to stick with what I know will work, until I'm absolutely forced to update! Yea, I'll have to deal without the latest features, like "360 Videos", but have people hinestly been watching them (as in making sure that's what it is and if not, electing not to watch it)?

I have been forced back to v0.9 and to v1.0 and to v1.2 a half dozen times between them, while the older version got me working again (this time obviously v1.2) and frankly, I personally didn't lose a thing doing it! So why update again, just for what'll probably be another push back to v1.2 at some point?

Anyway, that's my take on it. But then, maybe I'm just being an idiot! <lol>

Hello,

I´m on Nougat with Magisk in my OP 3T and I downloaded latest version fr root users but when I try to install it, the installation process fail and says that the package is damaged. Also I can´t download "microG", mediafire blocks the file beacause it was determined to be dangerous.

I check the thread and FAQs and I don´t find anything, what can I do?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Try downloading the YouTube app again. But as for microG, I tracked it down the other day to try out and here's a link to my DropBox...

microG v1.0: https://db.tt/RtPA2c2eP0

I believe v1.0 is the latest.

If you try downloading the OGMod YouTube again and have the same problem, leg me know. I probably have both of the v2.1 Apk's (replacement & 2nd app) here on my ddvice.

TTYL
[Android Apps and Games] Istvan_86:
Hello and thanks,

I install the MicroG package that you linked, install YT again and try to install OGYouTube v2.1 Root.apk but I get same error. I´m doing something wrong?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Probably not. :)

I believe that there is some kind of Sign In problem going on right now. Is that the problem you're having?

And with the Replacement version (v2.1), it crashes when you try to change the Download folder in its Settings.

Personally, I went back to v1.2 (see my post just a few posts back with the link) and it's working beautifully. :)

I´m afraid to remove some original package and end with a OP 3T without YT, what can I do?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] nitrous²:
One or two pages back you have nothing but solutions to this exact issue. You basically have to use an older method with older apps.
[Android Apps and Games] wgraz:
I previously installed the root version of OGYT 2.1 with microG v1.0 but I had signin issues. (Blue and white blank screen) Also there was an AD right on the top of the OGYT home screen AND there were ads in some videos. Completely uninstalled that crap. I also uninstalled the official Youtube app. Starting from a clean slate. And I'm about to follow Zeuszoos' steps.

I think I understand and please correct me if I'm wrong:

The newer OGYT 2.1 is supposed to be installed with microG v1.0 but now there's signin issues.

The older OGYT 1.2 is supposed to be installed with Mgoogleplayservices, mgoogleaccount and mgoogleservices and it still works.

Also, I understand that OGYT 1.2 is not a youtube replacement therefore you can install it in addition to your preinstalled Official Youtube app. But you don't need the Official Youtube installed. Which is it, please? Does it matter? Because I'd rather have only one Youtube app.

I really appreciate Zeuszoos's work in trying to make this easier for us. Thanks

Thanks so much.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
You're welcome. Just do what's in the instructions. You should not have microG, nor the Xposed Sign-In Mod installed. They will keep it from working.

As for ads, I have always had both "AdAway" and an Xposed Mod called "YouTube AdAway" installed. If you see any ads, try the "YouTube AdAway" Mod (make sure to enable it) first and Reboot and see what happens

Don't forget to read the part about activating the MGoogle account. :)

TTYL.
[Android Apps and Games] wgraz:
I did it. Worked great! Thanks so much. When I installed the 4 apks (in the order Zeuszoos specified), I did not have an official Youtube app installed.

When I first launched OG YT after installs and reboot:

Click LATER and then click OK to the white popup box. Set Permit Drawing Over Other Apps to ON

Navigate back

Click ALLOW to OG Youtube to acces Photos

Click ALLOW to OG Youtube to acces Contacts

Then I went to the Settings menu and "Signed-In'. Then you see the black screen to add an EXISTING account. Add your username and pw and leave "Keep me up to date with News & Offers" UNCHECKED. That's it. You notice the MGoogle account is added. The next time you launch OGYT, you're signed in by default. Thanks again.

I need to try YouTube AdAway. Do you also use ABP? I use ABP and Adaway but I guess adding YouTube AdAway would help. thx.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
The 1st half of what you said, which ties into MM, is not in the Install text file, so I'll add it and I appreciate you posting it! :)

Btw, what you mentioned has to do with the "Screen Overlay" thing in MM, right? If that's the case, there is an Xposed Mod that makes that whole thing go away. :)

No, I don't use ABP.

I am very happy it worked well for you! :)

TTYL
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hey :)

UPDATE ON OGYOUTUBE v1.2 INSTALL!

The older link that I posted is no longer valid!

Due to a little bit of confusion (My bad!) and a couple of extra taps required in MM (Thanks "wgraz"!), I have updated my text file instructions for installing "OGYouTube (10.45.53) v1.2".

I have also included two extra files in the Zip:

* "YouTube AdAway" Xposed Mod, which should eliminate Ads in YouTube.

* "NoOverlayWarning" Xposed Mod. This one is for MM and it gets rid of the whole "Screen Overlay" nightmare!

Credit to those Devs, not me! Both Mods can be found in the Xposed Repository. I have used both (as well as the "AdAway" app) and they have both worked extremely well for me!

YOU DO NOT *HAVE* TO INSTALL THE MODS!

I HAVE MADE THEM AVAILABLE TO YOU,

IN CASEYOU *WANT* TO USE THEM!

So now the text file (detailed, "Step by Step" installation instructions for the layman up to the expert) should walk you through it from beginning to end in both KK & MM and the Zip should now include every file you could need, or even want, to get the app running perfectly, Ad & Overlay free! :)

But if anything has been left out, or if there are any problems of any kind, please let me know.

And as stated in the text file, this is NOT the "YouTube Replacement" version, so it will be named "OGYouTube" when installed. But you do NOT have to have ANY YouTube app on your device to use this. It works fine standalone. In fact, as a user, the ONLY difference I've seen, is the name under its icon starting with "OG". :)

The link is as follows: https://db.tt/PHdvBYG4Bo

Enjoy! :)

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Have you checked to see if you already have a version of "MGoogle" installed?

Also, I've updated the text file and Zip. Please see my newer post for the updated link (first Delete the files from the last time you downloaded it, to make sure there's no confusion).

Also, remember to pay attention to what the text says to Uninstall first.

TTYL
[Android Apps and Games] wgraz:
The main reason I installed OG YT was to get rid of ads. Maybe I wasn't informed correctly on the purpose of OG YT. But can I block ads just as effectively with Youtube Adaway on the OFFICIAL Youtube? If so, then there's no reason for me to have OG YT installed. I really don't care about floating windows or downloading videos. It's the ads that kill me. Thx.

I'm a total neweb to these mods.. They're making my head spin.
