Now that I deleted the app cache via system UI and via Titanium Backup as well, the apk works fine again. Not sure why though, doesn't make sense to me, especially because I rebooted inbetween installing the apk.

However I don't need the upload of the old version any more. Thanks anyway for your help guys.

[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
At op2 with 400dpi you need to choose 480 version
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
i've read that incompatibility due to custom dpi might cause playstore to throw up errors or nagscreens. i try to steer clear of such 'clueless issues'. hence the question.

so, 480dpi is the one i should be trying. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Geo_Tsik:
For YouTube just try ogyoutube. It's amazing how much you can do with this app.

No ads

YouTube background playback

Can float the video

Can download any video in any quality

No need xposed any more

The only thing lacking in Nougat was xposed to easily do this but finding this app makes my switch to nougat complete. Someone start a new thread so we don't flood this guy's thread. Jamming away in the background as I type this lol...

EDIT Spoke to soon it works but after minute or two playback pauses and have to go back into app. Oh well progress!
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
When you have installed YouTube as a system app (common on stock Android, but not with custom ROMs) then there is a version of youtube apk in /system/app/YouTube and then when you update YouTube via playstore then it overlays the update in /data which is used and the one in /system is not used. Hence for most devices (with stock ROM) anything you do now in /system/app/YouTube is irrelevant

To address this issue you must first go into Play Store and disable updates for YouTube, then

disable Youtube, this will ask "remove updates" and disable, then

enable Youtube (which then is using the /system version now) then

follow the guide on OP

Ask about background playback, I use split screen and shrink YT down to 1/4 screen and it plays then just fine. Good on my Nexus 7!

[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Isn't he skipping versions for a reason?

And I'm pretty sure he's aware of the updates... :)
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
What reason? [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Just a guess, arter97 is a pretty busy developer and it's pretty absurd to do each & every version as Google drops updates like mad.. Skipping versions would make perfectly sense as functionality is not affected if you are a little behind..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Yeah, [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] mentioned he's only going to update when he has free time. And it's not like every YouTube update is significant.

I have been using for a while this modded youtube apk from [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] and it works flawlessly!!

I have a question about it though. So this apk is around the 40MB in size, how come the when I download the one that it is offered from Google Play (same version) is only in the 20MB range?

Again, I am really thankful for this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] MicroMod777:
Yep smali code that blocks the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] shubby:
U r using 32 bit rom hence size is 20 mb mod must contain some codes that prevent ads to display so they might consume that space also app when installed on ur device takes more memory then it mentions in play store ,they might hav compressed the download size. :confused:

Correct me if i m wrong pls (anyone)
[Android Apps and Games] memocatcher:
Ok I downloaded 480 dpi version, I was on nodpi before.

Now it's working (strange).

[Android Apps and Games] vemacs:
How does one use this with Magisk without packaging a custom module?
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
I don't know how you assume that magisk custom modules have anything to do with it...

But gain root privileges and copy the file fitting your devices architecture to given path in OP, create the YouTube folder..

Set Permissions correctly for file & folder and done, root privileges are no longer needed..

Only in case you update the apk and need to place it in the system partition again and adjust the permissions root is needed again...

My ROM (OnePlus 3 official ROM) comes with a stock YouTube app. If I use the same steps I previously used to get it working (what you just wrote), it causes SafetyNet to fail.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] passport619:
Wow. Thanks for the reply. I just need to figure out how to get there now.
[Android Apps and Games] DeveDroid:
I'm assuming you're rooted ?

If so, then head over to your file manager which supports root access (Eg. Root Explorer)

1) Create a folder, name it 'YouTube'

2) Rename your downloaded file to 'YouTube' as well and push the apk inside folder

3) Push this folder to '/system/app/*here*'

4) Give permissions just as I showed in my previous reply (0755 for folder and 0644 for the apk)

5) Reboot and you're done.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] passport619:
Thank You. I will look for permissions option. All these numbers are changed after install right?

Yes in the file explorer. You don't need to install the apk just place it into system/apps/YouTube with a file explorer. then set permission.
[Android Apps and Games] Nex23:
Can confirm is works, thanks for your work. It is always a mess to set it up. This time i delete every youtube App or folder i could find. Then created a new folder with name "YouTube" and put the apk there. I set permission of both folder and apk to 755.

[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Well, thank you for clarification.. I wasn't aware of this as I give a f*** about safetynet..

But as written before its a cat & mouse game to trick safetynet and therefore you'll have to choose anyway what's more important to you, customization and full control or the joy of android pay.. All workarounds are just temporary and the time span these workarounds function is getting shorter every time.. IMHO

I don't understand why the Background Patch is considered as warez. I live in Switzerland in Europe, we still have no possibility to get YouTube Red subscription for background playback, so this is the only way for me to get it...
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Cause this background patch is included in a application which potentially is used to fake licenses for paid services.. And that's exactly what it does on YouTube app, by the way.. So it could be regarded as stealing, right?

Furthermore it's written in the xda rules, so discussion won't help.. It's simply needs to be accepted. Period

But that discussion doesn't belong here in this thread..

So can we get over it and get back to topic?

[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
How was it installed (originally) and how did you uninstall it?
[Android Apps and Games] firegaranger:
I used titanium backup to uninstall stock YouTube. Used es file explorer to delete /system/app/YouTube then remade the file and gave it 755 permission. Downloaded the arm64 nodpi and 480dpi then placed them in the new YouTube folder.
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
chmod 644 /system/app/YouTube/youtube.apk (the file you have one way is *.apk)
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Make sure folder is 755 and the YouTube app/apk is 644..restart and YouTube app should be in your app list
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Titanium is good but, lately I seem to have problems with it on some devices or builds. (Especially nougat.)

- Please try again.

Make sure the following are deleted and reboot.

/data/app/com.google.android.youtube-1

/system/app/YouTube

Log into google play store and make sure YouTube dose not show as installed. (My apps & games - Installed)

Then make /system/app/YouTube (Set Permission 0755)

Then make /system/app/YouTube/lib (Set Permission 0755)

Then make /system/app/YouTube/lib/arm64 (Set Permission 0755)

Copy youtube_11.47.72-114772640_minAPI16(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)-adaway.apk to /system/app/YouTube and rename it to YouTube.apk (Set Permission 0644)

Pull files from youtube_11.47.72-114772640_minAPI16(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)-adaway.apk/lib/arm64-v8a and copy to /system/app/YouTube/lib/arm64 (Set each to Permission 0755)

Reboot.

Example of permissions :

http://pastebin.com/1mmp3MmG

Note : case sensitive ? :confused: Not sure - That is why I always run with YouTube

Edit :

Correction to file path.
[Android Apps and Games] firegaranger:
I can't find /system/data
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:

/data/app/com.google.android.youtube-1

(Now corrected. ;) thanks for the catch. :) )
[Android Apps and Games] firegaranger:
Maybe I'm blind. I don't see it there. :eek:

I did everything else instead. Install, extract and gave the permission.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
If it not there, then it is not installed (or updated) as a user app. I would still delete it from /system/app and reboot then start again.

- What are you running ?

- - rom, recovery, root, ect.... ?
[Android Apps and Games] firegaranger:
From the pull files, do I set all files that ends with .so as 0755 or do nothing to them.

I've read through all pages and couldn't find the solution. I've done all the steps but youtube doesn't appear in app list.

PureNexus 7.1.1 (today's realease), GApps (full dynamic), ElementalX (4.16), Magisk 10.2 (phh superuser included).

Youtube wasn't even installed into purenexus since the beginning. So YouTube folder with 755 permissions is in system/app and so is *.apk and lib folder.

What might be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
What file explorer are you using? Walk me through what you did.
[Android Apps and Games] nayrazag:
I used Mixplorer (last release). PureNexus (clean install), obviously no youtube apk installed in that custom rom so no youtube folder anywhere and nothing to delete. But just inn case I checked system/app and system/priv-app. I downloaded no dpi apk (also tried 480 dpi with no luck). Created folder named YouTube in system/app with 755 permissions. Then renamed downloaded apk into YouTube.apk and copy and pasted into YouTube folder and also gave 644 permission to apk (tried with 755 too). Then extracted lib folder from apk into YouTube folder and gave 755 permissions. Rebooted and don't see youtube app in app list. My device is Nexus 6 64gb. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
That's weird. All the steps are correct and complete. Have you tried another file explorer? Just in case?
[Android Apps and Games] nayrazag:
Yes, I've tried root explorer also. I thought Magisk might be the probem. So I unistalled Magisk and tried again but no success.

If you're on MM then you don't need this thread's patch, use xposed, YouTube Adaway, and Youtube Background playback.

If you're on N, then xposed doesn't exist yet, use this thread's patched apk, you have N multiwindow which is pretty good, you can shrink Youtube to a 1/4 screen and if you begin typing the 2nd screen shrinks YT even more and if you go to home screen it shrinks to just a thin bar. That's not far off background, if your screen big enough.

Either way, I find pretty good. I got 1 device (5" screen) still on MM, everything else (5.5", 7", 10") is N
