On the first post, right after installing instructions arter97 writes "I update when I have time", it's very important on every thread to read at least the first post cause usually lots of stuff is getting explained there.. and you're already member (50 posts +) and no junior so get used to the basics, coming to a thread and asking for updates is a great way to disrespect the dev & make yourself unpopular..

---------- Post added at 06:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

This sudden appearance got finally addressed by wanam & I think arter97 too.

Unfortunately there's no explanation yet, it seems Google is doing something on their end..

Future will tell, I'm for myself live in Germany and never had even one others have those long unskipable ones.. quite puzzling atm
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
I think it's almost certainly location based for some reason. Also cellular data and WiFi have an impact too.

Maybe going through a VPN would help..

Woah !. that introduced long ago. You can save videos offline, right inside the youtube. No extra apps required.

[Android Apps and Games] ChasedMonkey:
Just tried both methods on my Pixel XL running 7.1.1.

Manual install didn't work because the YouTube app didn't show up after reboot.

Installer didn't work, YouTube app is there but so are ads.

Where exactly did you move the Patched apk?

Copy the apk to system/priv-app.

There you create a new folder named as YouTube. Put the apk there.

Rename the apk as YouTube.apk and set the right permissions for the apk as well as the folder.

[Android Apps and Games] ChasedMonkey:
I must have read outdated instructions. I put the folder in /system/app and set the right permissions using TWRP. I'll try it in the priv-app folder now

Update: I uninstalled YouTube using titanium backup, created the YouTube folder in /system/priv-app, used TWRP to chmod to 0755, renamed the add free app to just YouTube.apk, put it into its folder, and then I rebooted. Still no YouTube app on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] lildimsum7:
Did you set the apk permission to 644?
[Android Apps and Games] ChasedMonkey:
No, I set them to 755

Edit: I'm dumb, I didn't see the part were you said apk so I changed the folder to 644. Folder 755 and app 644 is now working. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Castanoff:

[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
If you would take time to read at least the first page of this thread, you'll learn that the apk isn't installed the usual way. You need to copy it to your root folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Pain-N-Panic:
Not sure why people are making folders....just seems unnecessary. I moved the apk to system/app and set permissions and its working fine with no ads. Before moving it I also renamed it to YouTube.apk.

I'm on a rooted nexus 6P running DU.

[Android Apps and Games] Trịnh Bình Nguyên:

[Android Apps and Games] FlyingMachete:
Because of "numbnuts", that's what it's for mate. You're all good putting your apk where you use to. Cheers.

Zero ads from day 1 after following exact directions dl apk, make YouTube folder in system app, place apk Inside that folder, set correct permissions, again, thanks op
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Enoshima:
Fortunately, Google is nice enough to us for not forcing their ads to us , as some of users here still getting some ads:victory:
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
If only we can all live in your neighborhood. Lol.

Location based ads do exist. I've experienced them myself for a week. And suddenly they stopped without me doing anything.
[Android Apps and Games] swat4samp:
I'm not sure if this helps others, i always opt out of personalized ads from google play services whenever i install new ROM. I only get very few skippable ads even without adaway installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
Don't think that is it. Maybe another reason, but not that. If it was that, those ppl who supposedly live in a specific area that aren't getting these specific ads, some would eventually get thru.. So yeah not that.

You either have certain ppl who can't follow directions (and I'm not ruling this out bec this site is full of users who will not read bec of laziness or whatever the reason) or maybe it's has something to do with what device you are on. I would absolutely not think this is the case.

But yeah I'll stick with a big portion is not following directions correctly. ( Inb4 'i did exactly what the directions said and ads are still coming thru)

Those that are saying they are doing it right and still getting ads, I haven't seen that so I don't know.

If it started happening to me, I'd use a prior version that is working. If blocking ads are that important, sacrificing the newest version shouldn't be a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Brandon9231:
So location isn't a cause? I've been fine for 2 weeks on the latest build and haven't changed ANYTHING but got an unskipable ad this morning. I was perfectly fine a few hours ago too...just woke up, played a video, YouTube was still open from the previous night, and BOOM clash of clans ad. Just watched another video as I wrote this and got an ad for some kind of wallpaper app, once again unskipable. I've changed nothing to get ads back but I know I installed it correctly (manually) since it's been perfect for the past two weeks and previous builds have all worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Well, now you've seen 3 people who did it correctly and still saw ads get through on this page alone. I've seen several say the same.
[Android Apps and Games] lildimsum7:
A bunch of us install this correctly and have gotten unskippable ads at some point. For me, they disappeared after a day and I haven't had ads in a month. It could be due to location

Uninstallation Steps

Please share step to uninstall to remove completely. It doesn't save videos offline, but I travel alot.so I need to download videos offline.

How can I remove it completely?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Delete file and folder in /root.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
If you install properly and get no adds for a while, I would suggest not updating YouTube in anyway.

There are no real reasons to update the app.
[Android Apps and Games] markus2811:
So I found a solution that worked on 3 different phones on 2 different systems. One android 6.0.1 Galaxy s5 plus rooted and a Huawei p9 lite Stock beta 7.0 B360 Nougat also rooted

Tried to put the youtube apk into the sys folder and no dice never showed up in the drawer. (Also tried the second sys folder under nougat just not working)

INSTALLED YOUTUBE FROM THE APP STORE NORMALLY

Here is the thing, install root explorer, download the modified youtube apk of your choice, copy it, look for the install folder of the original youtube apk in your root data folder under app, (something that ends with youtube1 I think) copy the modified youtube file here and delete the base.apk in the folder, rename the modified youtube apk into base.apk and change the permission whatever the permission of the base.apk where (uh maybe check first before deleting sorry)

Now it should work I have no more adds good luck

Normally the Dalvik Cache is cleaned after a flash is performed but, it doesn't hurt the device if it's done before the flash as well as afterwards.

[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
Same issue. Installed perfectly as per instructions. No YouTube in app drawer on boot.
[Android Apps and Games] cyan pac:
Probably needs the right permissions on both the folder and apk inside that folder.
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
Did that already and rebooted. No change. No youtube.
[Android Apps and Games] cyan pac:
You change the apk name to YouTube.apk
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
The installer did it that way automatically. It did not do the 755 permissions which I did myself, which changed nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] cyan pac:
What about 655 on the apk. Or whatever it is
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
Tried. No change on any combo of folder and APK as 655 or 755.
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
No Combo. Folder 755, apk file 644.
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
That's what the installer defaults to. That's what doesn't work.

Did this thing just not work on nougat not something?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Nope. Worked since day 1 for me. Nougat here.
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
I have a N5X, I have Nougat, it's working here.
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
I got it to work. No ads. However, there is no background play. Is it possible to patch this version of YouTube to allow this?
[Android Apps and Games] FlyingMachete:
I've chmod 755 both since day 1. Always worked. . Nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Background playback is and will never be supported, do a search for details.. but, ey, if you are on nougat you have multi window support :)
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Exactly how I have done it since the day this modified apk was released...simple and fast. It couldn't be easier.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

You may have set both permissions to 755 however upon a reboot the apk permissions are set to 644. In fact if you just rename the apk to YouTube.apk and overwrite the existing apk in the folder and set the 644 permissions, a reboot isn't necessary and when you go back and open YouTube it's already ad free

[MENTION=6919593]kesaras[/MENTION], I'm sorry to say that even mentioning that app is in violation of the XDA Rules. This is because it's considered a warez app.

I'd recommend that you delete the name of it or an XDA Admin could penalize you and/or close the thread.

Just advising you to help prevent this from happening my friend.

You talking about warez, these apps are used to steal from developers, Xda-developers is a developer friendly site, please edit your post, no discussion, promotion, not anything about that topic please, otherwise it will be reported...

Even you may had good intention it's simply not tolerated, read the rules (no. 6) you agreed to by signing up your account on xda..
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Exactly what I was stating...

I, personally, have rarely reported any member to an XDA Admin unless my hand was forced to do so.

Lately, I've been seeing a crackdown for a number of consistent violations. This crackdown has, in fact, been confirmed by a few XDA Admin friends of mine who also added that they've also banned members and closed threads without hesitation.

With that stated, I don't want any helpful threads closed and, if the violation was made as an innocent mistake, nor do I like seeing members banned either.

You speak my mind :) exept no one will close a thread for a innocent mistake, normal procedure is to give a warning and ask the members if anything is in question.. If issues can't be solved the very last agent of choice is a banning a member but to my experience it takes quite some "effort" to archive this..
[Android Apps and Games] Brandon9231:
Well it's been 2 days and I realized I'm ad-free again. Think it started late last night and I didn't notice, but regardless I've changed nothing and all the ads I was previously getting have stopped. All I've done was reboot a few times because of some substratum theme's and all is well now. No clue as to why I started getting ads in the first place or why it randomly stopped, but it did, and I'm glad. Only thing I can think of having anything to do with unintentionally fixing the ads is fstrim and SDMaid that I use quite a bit...other than that I don't know if I did anything to stop the ads or it just happened on its own.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I wouldn't worry about it since you acted promptly by removing it immediately.

Thank you Very Much!!!

Here's a little "Fun Fact":

If you'll also notice that i didn't quote your post because even if you remove it, the text within the quote will remain. This is not realized by many members. If i had quoted that post, no matter if you change or remove your post, the original post within me quoting you will remain.

For example, your text that i had quoted above will remain even if you change or remove the post and the only way that quote on this post can be affected is by me editing my post and changing/removing this post.

In addition, i could edit the quote with anything that could reflect that you stated it as a quote. Here's an example..

Not exactly true, if you view from a browser there's a arrow sign next to the quoted username which takes you to the original (unedited) post from source..

Also the Mods keep editing history, so it's not that easy if one thoroughly checks.. There's no hard delete in use only soft delete, even if a mod deletes it's still can be seen in history, just for clarification - we not have a glitch in the matrix :)

If my phone has 400 dpi, is the 320 version good or would it be too small? I know I can use the nodpi version, but if possible I want to avoid it since the play store updates bother me.

I'd go for the 480 version instead. I have a 480 device but I've been running it on 400 dpi. I'm not sure if physical vs. simulated dpi makes any difference for this app. If it looks quirky, you can still get the 320 or nodpi version. You can disconnect YT from the Play Store (there's a wonderful instruction written in this thread using Titanium, just search for it) to prevent update notifications.
