Well your phone would not work - the ROM is what is running on your phone now.

right so youtube is in the /system folder.

No, not what I wrote at all. I said to uninstall. You know how to use an Android phone to uninstall? Either hard-click on the youtube app on your screen and go to app-info or go to systems, apps, youtube. In Play Store ensure youtube is not auto-update (which you state you have already done) Click on on uninstall. It will typically only show disable remove updates. Then re-enable. Your patched apk /system is then the version being run.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Just wanted to report that this works perfectly on the HTC 10 running Nougat in case it hasn't been mentioned yet. I just renamed the app "YouTube.apk" without the quotes obviously and overwrote the existing one in the system folder with Root Explorer, set the permissions and rebooted. It took all of 2 minutes max! Many thanks for this modded app...YouTube ads bother me more than any other app and there is no close second! Once they introduced the "during the video ads" I was ready to jettison YouTube entirely! This is a job well done. Thanks again! :svetius::svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] opasha:
Sorry, I meant no "custom" ROMs. We are all on the stock ROM.

Correct, but we can't touch the system folder while the phone is booted - it's READ ONLY...a Mate 9 issue currently. So in order to modify anything whether it's uninstall, rename, etc to a system app - it has to be done through TWRP recovery.

While the phone is booted/usable, you cannot uninstall Youtube being locked in the system/app. There is only an option to Update or Open - again due to the system partition being READ ONLY while booted. So, in order to make any changes (uninstall, etc), it has to be done through TWRP recovery - using its File Manager and mounting system partition, then going into system/app/Youtube (doing whatever we want - rename, remove, add, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Just thought I should add that I selected the 480dpi version since it matched my phone and I have no problem running split screen either! I would have edited my previous post but then I couldn't add the eye candy...added bonus, I still show "original" software in the bootloader not "modified"! Amazing!
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
You're over/miss thinking.

- with the phone running normally, uninstall youtube, if youtube came pre-installed in the ROM then it will uninstall updates and leave it disabled.

- have the patched APK somewhere easy, like /sdcard/Download/YouTube.apk

- boot into recovery

- tell twrp to mount /system read-write and mount it (via mount, ensure system not ticked to mount read-only, then mount system)

- shell (my preference is adb shell from PC for easier typing)

- cd /system/app/YouTube (if this fails figure it out) if Youtube is in your ROM then the 1st step of uninstall cannot (the R part of ROM) touch it so its still there

- rm whatever is here like its a youtube.apk file

- cp /sdcard/Download . (copy the patched file to /system/app/Youtube/ )

- chmod 644 youtube.apk (or whatever you called it)

- (just in case) cd .. and ls -l and check /system/app/Youtube is 755 (rwx-rx-rx)

- exit shell

- Recovery reboot into system

- Re-able Youtube
[Android Apps and Games] opasha:
Sorry for the trouble. Thanks. I'll try this again and report back. :highfive:

EDIT: Followed your steps in order. Did disable it in app info (long holding on youtube app) before going into TWRP recovery to do the rest. Upon reboot, I re-enabled via playstore. No change. Is is possible I'm using the wrong version? Arm64-nodpi. Perhaps, it just is a Mate 9 issue.
[Android Apps and Games] braindead444:
I got this working on my nexus 5X because I previously was using the xposed modules for an adfree YouTube experience. I updated to nougat and lost that functionality but was okay with that because I have adguard as a back up for these down times between the xposed framework getting updated to nougat. I thank you for your work and am very appreciative for this because I despise ads in YouTube as it ruins the mobile experience. 5 ads in 30 minute videos makes me want to rip my hair out. Only trouble I have is trying to prevent the play store from updating the app. I use titanium backup to detach YouTube from the store but after a restart it will attach again to the market place. I use the no DPI version but an wondering if the 420 DPI would work for my device. Please keep up the good work and keep on rockin' in the root world.
[Android Apps and Games] jorgeenriqueruizflorez:
Hi. I am on kind of the same situation here. I uninstalled YouTube since I downloaded from Play Store, then create a folder name YouTube and pasted the file inside, then using TWRP mounted system and moved the folder to system/app. Then give 755 to folder and 644 to apk. Rebooted and I got no YouTube in drawer or anywhere.

Did I missed something or just did something wrong?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
Re enable but ensure auto update disabled
[Android Apps and Games] shubby:
Use mixplorer form xda ,open it go to root folder ,it will ask root access give it then got to root/system/apps there create folder YouTube (755 permission will be given by explorer itself) and open that folder copy mod YouTube file (644 permission will be given by default ) then reboot this is how i hav done it and it worked evety time

Hope that will help u
[Android Apps and Games] jorgeenriqueruizflorez:
Just got it working. I used another root explorer. I think my mistake was not creating the "YouTube" folder directly in the system/app path, but moving the folder the folder from another path. Or maybe that I was giving permissions with TWRP. Don't really know. Just doing it with a root explorer works.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] kopitalk:

[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Doable auto update in the Play Store AND in YouTube settings. I think there's one in there as well.
[Android Apps and Games] ATZ-007:
Thanks...

Is there anyway to completely remove YouTube from play store so that it doesn't show under update available and I can press Update All button (in play store) for all other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] kopitalk:
Possible if you have Titanium Backup where you can detach it from market, but unfortunately this method doesn't survive a reboot.

Another way is to try using ZipSigner to sign the apk with personal key. This will permanently remove YouTube from the update list. PS: I tried this method successfully with other app but haven't tried on YouTube yet. Edit: I tried multiple keys but it gives me FCs. Not working.

[Android Apps and Games] chocolote4444:
Hello ya'll! Instead of installing a different apk, I monitored ALL of YouTube's network and was able to block their ads using the "host" file technique. Download the file below.

The file has the .Txt extension but you need to remove the .Txt by renaming the file to where it just says "hosts".

This modified host file will block video ads from appearing but it does NOT block banner ads!

Make sure you have root. Copy and paste hosts in the /system/ECT directory of your phone. It will ask if you want to overwrite the file, just say yes.

Now you can enjoy YouTube without the Video Ads!!

It wasn't easy. I had to use SSL and TCP Dump to find the ad networks. ALSO! FOR FULL AD BLOCKING FUNCTION, disable the ad activities.

You could go through the host.txt file he created and manually add all of those to host sources in AdAway. In the AdAway app tap the 3 dot menu button on the top right, then click on host sources and start adding them. Then hit download and apply on the main page. It's gonna take a few minutes with the amount of sources added probably. Just be patient.

I'm on 11.47.55 and it blocks ads just fine. If you are having issues make sure your apk is in the right file folder and not being auto updated by the play store. As you can see in my screenshot that I use titanium back up to detach the apk from the play store. I do have to do this at every restart but it's a small inconvenience compared to dealing with ad's. I hope you get it working. One more thing add adaway and a YouTube blocking list to your host file and that should do the trick.
