Thank you for your suggestion, I tried installing it manually but nothing happened. I got the icon and everything but when I tried to open the app and pressed the icon nothing happened.

However, I ended up flashing the rom again because it was the only solution that I could find.

Thank work your help again ✌?
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
Make sure there's no leftover YouTube app under /data/app
[Android Apps and Games] enzzo28:
Yes, I checked it before and after reflashing the rom.

However I could it make YouTube red works by using a Magisk mod
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
Does there seem to be a pattern of people auto updating and then getting ads or are there members here who have ads that no better than to update?

I ask before I waste my time trying to patch for ads. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
I'm no noob in using this patched APK, but I do sometimes forget a step. I just yesterday totally wiped and fresh install a custom ROM on an old tablet, with minimalist gapps (no YouTube) and installed this apk, but I forgot the step of telling Playstore to not autoupdate Youtube. I then go into Youtube and see ads on screen and when playing, realized I had missed a step, I fixed that, then Youtube was then ad-free. I'm not saying you can be 0% ads, they can sometimes still get through, but it really does significantly reduce.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Happens both ways. Some updates (accidentally) and others did it correctly but still get ads after a couple of weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] Valkyrie743:
i have auto updates disabled and still get ads when i was not getting them for a good month sooo idk whats going on
[Android Apps and Games] aer0zer0:
I'm good, haven't updated the app, using a magisk version
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
So many variables on why some people get ads and some don't

I refer to my previous post..

Guys I think you must try and understand, ads on YouTube are not an exact science...

There are many factors why ads may or may not be blocked on YouTube.

Location your in. I think a very important factor.

YouTube own ads algorithm their side.

If you turn off auto update in playstore.

Wether or not your running adaway with latest updated hosts.

Which root method your running

What rom your running.

Which device you have.

What version of Android your on.

Clearing YouTube cache and data.

Correctly applying the right permissions and placement of the apk as stated by the 1st thread.

As you can see there are soo many variables in blocking ads. Sometimes it's a lot of trial and error.

[Android Apps and Games] elkadeho:
Are you sure YouTube didn't got updated? I had it disconnect from Playstore via TB, but it did update anyway, so now i disabled all auto updates in Playstore (and sure enough, despite disabling it via TB there is an update pending).... Works so far....I even disabled the Playstore app integrety/security check.

Hope it helps

I installed the latest available apk using the flashable zip everything is perfect. Then updated the app using the play store and got ads again.

You can't update the app using play store, the add-on is use when you update the ROM and not the app.

[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
1. Install iYTBP arm64 - Magisk.zip through Magisk

2. Reboot to TWRP and mount system

3. Using the TWRP file manager, delete the existing YouTube.apk in /system/app/YouTube/

4. Copy iytbp-adblocked-12.05.53_arm64.apk to /system/app/YouTube/ and rename it to Youtube.apk

5. Reboot and enjoy background playback and no ads

[Android Apps and Games] LazerL0rd:
Just saying, isn't modifying YouTube to get the paid features similar to using that app. How come we are allowed to crack YouTube Red's apayments and not use that app?

(btw, i am COMPLETELY against that app - i'm just asking a point here)
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
AFAIK xposed modules and app with those features already existed before YouTube Red,That's why they're allowed on xda.
[Android Apps and Games] LazerL0rd:
Arright. Thanks for that info :D, it's been at the back of my mind for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I asked the same thing to a moderator a while ago, his/her reply: "The app is banned on the site completely. No mention of it period as it is with all banned things on xda. I understand what you mean. Really I do but due to the popularity of the app, the mod team had to take a strict stance on it." Seems reasonable :)

And it's not that much of a 'crack', AdBlockers are common goods on any platform these days, even though they're still controversial. It's kinda like smoking, isn't it?

[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
There's a Latin phrase for that sentence: contradictio in terminis

It's not possible yet you admit it's possible?

As concluded over and over and over again in this thread, YouTube ads are a mixture of location, settings, device, behavior, version, method and perhaps most of all, user error. If one fails to block ads, one is either doing something wrong or one is simply out of luck.

I have personally always succeeded at fending off ads successfully. I did not experience a single unskippable ad since I started using patched YT versions (not only this one) but did experience a few skippable ones along the way.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/apuxy6e0xt6r26p/youtube_12.12.53-121253640.apk?dl=1

And now the way the installation is like this

1-you download from the apk YT store

2-enter the date /app

3- Looking for com.google.android.youtube-1

4-pasted the edited apk by removing the base.apk file and changing the modified apk name to base.apk

5- restart phone

6-maybe YT will disappear after restart

7-install it again from the store

8-again enter data /app and look for com.google.android.youtube-2 and paste your modified apk under the name base.apk

9-again restart the phone

10-apk should already be displayed before running into applications-> youtube delete data

This method works for me on android Nougat 7.0 Official-Stable [DQCG] ODEX / ROOT / BUSYBOX [v12.0] by ambasadii

You can also use the old way in the system / app youtube folder but I was so annoyed because after every update of the system I had to re-copy it and doing this method above the update will not disappear:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] gentano:
This is not working. After replacing the base.apk in youtube-1 and restarting the phone the whole com.google.android.youtube-1 folder gets erased, so after reinstalling from the Playstore there is no com.google.android.youtube-2 but again there is com.google.android.youtube-1. Repeating the steps will again remove the whole youtube-1 folder.

Do You have a procedur for that? Following the given ways Youtube will FC after some minutes of usage. I also tried the "arter97-youtube-installer.zip" way to install the apk through the SD-CARD/Download-folder, but it also FCs.
[Android Apps and Games] wowo213:

Extract and copy lib and oat to system /app/YouTube

When attempting to flash the zip file in TWRP I'm getting an invalid zip file error and it fails. Not sure what the problem would be, I flash zip files regularly and never have a problem.

I'm still on Android M with a 5X.

***EDIT***

Yeah I was an idiot, I forgot to uncheck the option in TWRP to verify zip files. After doing that the zip installed fine.

Except after installing the zip, my YouTube app no longer showed up anywhere. I could use my file explorer to find it in system/app/YouTube and verify it was in the correct location, but just didn't show up in my default launcher. I went to the play store and it gave me the option to install YouTube, like it wasn't installed at all (no update, open, or uninstall options).

I didn't want the play store version obviously, so I just went back to square one, deleted everything in system/app/YouTube, renamed your version to YouTube.apk and moved it to this folder and rebooted. Now YouTube shows up again and seems to be working fine with no ads.

However, as others have said earlier in this thread, YouTube will crash when trying to play 360 videos. That's not a big deal as I never watch them, but just thought I would test if they were working.

Thanks again.
