Hi I installed it yesterday accordingly to my device dpi (op3:480dpi) working great, but this morning playstore already shows an update available. Normal?
[Android Apps and Games] iCstyle:
That's not true. There is a way for Background Playback on Nougat (works just like Xposed Module). It's just not allowed to talk about it here.
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
So no :)
[Android Apps and Games] P1an:
I also have an update available on playstore. I think there is a fix but i don't know how. Nexus 6P (480dpi)
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
The release of this modified youtube is mostly delayed in its versions, it's hard to keep up with the offical releases, they update like mad.. So of course it happens (often) you see a update available as this version is little behind..

Dev is only updating when his personal time management allows so, most updates haven't any significant changes anyway..

Nothing we can do about it!
[Android Apps and Games] FlyingMachete:
That was my guess, nothing unusual here then.
[Android Apps and Games] P1an:
Yes I understand that, but I thought there was a fix so you don't see the updates on playstore even if there are updates available.

In the first post it says: However, if you're annoyed to see Play Store's update pending, use the APK dedicated for your device's DPI.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
This statement is meant to be true in case the modified version is up to date.. Meaning if you have latest & modified version but wrong DPI version it will show an update too.

But in this case it's already outdated therefore it shows the update, I don't understand the problem with this, just choose no auto update and ignore it..
[Android Apps and Games] P1an:
Okay then I understand. Thank you for your help, much appreciated! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
How did you archive the background play?

Guys, I had to clean this thread, again. Remember the rules that you accepted while registering for this site and stop posting about warez.

This is a private website. Even if Youtube Red isn't available in your country you still have to follow our rules and posting about that one app breaches them.

Edit:

Be aware that this is our last warning. We had to clean this thread five times during the last two weeks. There will be penalties if you don't stop mentioning Lucky Patcher or similar apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Never understood that myself.. First thing I do every time I flash a rom is to make sure I turn off auto update on the playstore and block all notifications from it
[Android Apps and Games] sv2203:
I have a OP3. Made the map as in the discription with the right permission and place the apk file in it with 480 DPI. After reboot and selecting YouTube from the appdrawer the app close and says YouTube has stopped working.

Anybody a clue?
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
works frawlessly but playstore prompts me to update to the same version!!?the new xposed module personalize also works somehow..
[Android Apps and Games] nomigujjar:
Should I update new version as normal apk or again delete old one and create directory etc again. .?
[Android Apps and Games] Mkkt Bkkt:
Delete old apk and replace it with the new version , no need to create a new directory.

Don't forget the correct permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] ecsnead69:
6P users, what DPI are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I use nodpi
[Android Apps and Games] James_Ward01:
I'm using 480 DPI on my 6p. The nodpi version works just as well, but it prompts you to update the app in the play store apparently.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
Can anyone tell me what versionto install on Moto X Play 6.0.1? I had tryied 32bit nodpi without luck.thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I will say this only once.

It stops here. If I see one more mention of said version being shared by PM people will learn real fast that I only warn once.

I will leave this closing thought. If you ware using the app that shall not be named then you might really want to rethink that. Not only are you doing yourselves a dis--service but also putting your device at risk. Google and android app developers are both working on code that prevents apps from working if they find it is installed. There is even one dev adding code to his apps that will bootloop you until it is removed. Just some food for thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Moto x play is 64bit..try the 480 arm64 or nodpi 64bit
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
Sure dude?ok i'll try thanks.i think big cores are 32bit.the weird is that i use xposed v87 sdk 23 arm32..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
A phone can't be both, it can't have the small cores at 64 and the big on 32. It's either a 64 or a 32 bit.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
ok i configured it thanks is 64bit.but i confused!here says rom is 32 bit wtf! https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/help/gapps-to-t3286212 ok i'll try tomorrow,i hope i don't get a bootloop.thank you all.

Hi, just a quick question.

Is this youtube mod version not supporting 4.4.2?

Coz the last supported mod version working for my kitkat is 11.43.54. Play store showing 11.49.55 version for my device, but when I install the last version of youtube mod it always force close when I open it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] nomigujjar:
Same here im 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] blackra1n:
It's 2017 now and you're still on Jellybean? Get with the times man!
[Android Apps and Games] r_ido:

Still stuck on kitkat coz no stock rom update for my device. I'm worried of incompatibility if using custom rom.
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
you can use an old device as a player in the car etc.. or for kids...

I have the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] blackra1n:
If stock ROM only goes to Jellybean it's time for an upgrade my friend! What phone do you have?

PS: Mod, sorry for the oot :fingers-crossed:

12.01.05 available in apkmirror

This MOD is hard to maintain honestly as Google keeps updating Youtube app every other week

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-12-01-54-release/
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
In the OP is clearly written that updates will only be made when time allows it.. Do you really think you got to remind arter97 that yet another release has dropped? Seriously?
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
I wonder if some people look at the change logs from the app updates to see if it's worth updating. I guess I've never cared to check because as long as the app works I'm good. Not knocking updates tho, I appreciate and get them whenever I can.
[Android Apps and Games] :
How am i sure that there are no backdoors and that my email and password won't get stolen?
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
By not installing it :laugh: else you have to trust arter97 as great developer with a even greater reputation..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
You don't. Every app can potentially do this. Unless it's an open source app.

The question is, much are you willing to trust a developer? Frankly I'd trust a developer more when they are willing to interact with their users in a community like XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
You're good to go, install the app and enjoy the adfree YouTube
[Android Apps and Games] arter97:
You're welcome to decompile the APKs yourself.

Is there a nodpi version ? Can't find it for arm32 i mean but 320 dpi working so no problems now

I'm guessing you mean for arm32? Arm64 has nodpi listed.
[Android Apps and Games] shubby:
Yup but working now
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
thanks.no noDPI version?what to install on Z3 compact tablet?
[Android Apps and Games] Pondera:
Can't make it work. :) After the instructions no app icon in the drawer. After putting the apk also in the priv-app folder. It just force closes. Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
No one talked about the ptiv-app folder :)

Read again and follow the instructions carefully (create a folder in system/app called YouTube), set permissions correctly (won't work without), reboot..

Done
[Android Apps and Games] Pondera:
I already did that. Nothing happened. No icon in app drawer as i wrote. Then someone suggested putting also in priv-app. I did that too. Didn't work again.

I delete everything. Re-do again and again following instructions. Doesnt work for me. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] radz_:
Heres what im doing... once the file is in system/app thats good,

But I also download the original version in apkmirror then install it.. I copy the LIB file in data/app move it to system/app.. reboot.. you should see an icon now but thats the original version, so next you to go to application manager then Uninstall Updates.. you should have the patched version with 360 video working
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Make sure the permissions are sticking when changed, make sure you downloaded the right file for your device
[Android Apps and Games] kopitalk:
You can simply extract the lib folder from the patched youtube apk using file explorer. No need to download separate apk, install and then uninstall again.
[Android Apps and Games] radz_:
I know. But thats what i do,. I wanted to use official lib
[Android Apps and Games] Pondera:
Permissions stick. I use arm 32 no dpi. Which is AFAIk my device.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
You should know for sure if 32bit.. Verify that
[Android Apps and Games] Pondera:
I do :) it is LG G2 mini. 32 bit. It is using kit-kat

[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Just tried this on my fire7 (arm7 custom 5.1.1) and Nexus5x (arm8 factory 7.1.1) and it worked on both.

(fire7 : It was not installed so I just downloaded the newest and put it in /system/priv-app/YouTube, changed names, corrected permissions and rebooted.)

(n5x : I was lazy and moved /YouTube from /system/app to /media/download - Rebooted and moved /YouTube to /system/priv-app, corrected permissions and rebooted.)

[MENTION=7979152]firegaranger[/MENTION] - Since the traditional way has not worked, :confused: try this way.

(I am still curious on what stock, rom, root, ect. you are running.. Also if you run an app like CPU-Z, available from play store, what does it show for screen density and kernel architecture?)
[Android Apps and Games] Pondera:
Thnaks anyway for your replies. I will go to Xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
Cannot believe the trouble ppl are having, I Havent had one issue, I DL my version, make a YouTube folder in system/ app, put the apk file in that folder, set permissions, reboot, and it works every single time, not one issue. I don't get why there is so much trouble. Unless it really varies depending on the device you have. But on my nexus 6p, it's literally the easiest thing to do

Thank you to the op
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Some problems were OS version not being compatible.. No way around that if they can't update

Guys I have a nexus 6p 7.1.1 could someone please give me a easy guide to install this.

Hi could you give me a newbie guide please man, I have the same phone as you
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
The picture attached is how it should look. Grab solid explorer, in system/app find where the app is, hold down, go to properties, swipe to right, and set the permissions like it shows in the picture.

That's all I can do for you, bec the directions in the op are as simple as it gets.

And if you are still confused, I advise to read some of the beginner guides,Read the stickies FIRST before moving forward. You should have already done that. Take 30 minutes, and just read. Please. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Thank you Sheetzie03 for your help. Think I've done it:)

Thanks to the developer too, without xposed framework for 7.1 this is great.
[Android Apps and Games] leontomtom:
i would like to know if it is possible to add the background functionnality to this apk?

It would be a good replacement for the xposed's "youtube adaway" and "youtube backround" combo ;)
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Yes, it is possible but not discussable in this forum without breaking the rules. Please read the last sites of this topic about that.
[Android Apps and Games] chocolote4444:
Works with patched or non-patched. Doesn't make a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] nydmt:
Anyone know how to install this apk as a user app? Is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] chocolote4444:
*UPDATE*

Hello everyone! It appears that my previous "hosts" file wasn't blocking YouTube's ads. I made some major changes to the host file.

I can't upload the hosts file just yet cause I am on a 2g network :crying: when my 4g is back, I will upload it!

The hosts file came from the app "Adaway", but I also added even more host servers to the hosts file to provide you an ad-free experience while using YouTube.

This is only for people who don't want to use the modified apk and want to use the original YouTube app.

Note!!! I believe I may have also blocked the banner ads as well but there is a flip side to that. When using my host file, you won't be able to load YouTube through a web browser! You can only use the YouTube app. Still working on that!

Remember to ALWAYS backup your original host file just in case anything goes wrong or you can't get something to load correctly.

When modifying or overwriting a host file, set the correct permissions to -rw-r-r- or it won't work!!

For the changes to take effect, I recommend you reboot your phone as well and clear YouTube's cache.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
No, otherwise the instructions would be accordingly, you ask because you want use it without the need of root permissions, right?

It's clearly stated on the 1st post that now way without root is known..

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

I don't get your point here, I use this app regularly every day without ever having adds slipped through, so what's the point of further modifications and adding host files, isn't it good as it is?
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
Becsuse the apk on the play store is constantly updated. A solution that doesn't touch the apk would be ideal for an app getting updated so frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] tatomolina11:
Is this the app? I'm about to clean flash to Nougat on my Xperia Z5 but I want to have the YouTube I'm currently using but don't remember where I got it and don't have the apk or zip I used don't even remember that if it's not this one I apologize in advanced and if someone can help me out I would really appreciate it. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
I just don't get it? For Playstore switch of auto updates for youtube and for the modified apk you just need to copy and paste the updated modified version in the existing directory and set permissions correctly..

We really don't need every single update on YouTube, IMHO, most of the time there are just some minor under the hood changes, I can life absolutely good with a little outdated app when it's at least add free..

But maybe I still don't get your point
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
Adfree and up to date. You won't have to live with an outdated app when ads can be blocked by host file.

Update host file once and be done or "For Playstore switch of auto updates for youtube and for the modified apk you just need to copy and paste the updated modified version in the existing directory and set permissions correctly" every time. You pick which is easier.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Wouldn't it be a great idea to open your own thread instead of hijacking some else's thread and advertising for your solution? I mean seriously, is that in line with your moral standards?

If people don't want to use it they would be advised to not come here in first place..

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Yeah, probably right though I don't care to have a permanent upto date youtube app, it's sufficient like practiced here, this is a nice and clean solution, 100 percent reliable and no host file tinkering..

I mean everyone has a right to have his own preferences but here at this thread we discuss arter97's solution, anything else is considered off topic..
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
Then don't engage "off topic" posts with questions, and then start trolling when you get an answer. It's not productive.

I could say the same thing about no app tinkering.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Lol :laugh: you consider trolling to be in line with the rules you acknowledged by signing up at xda? Nor is it productive to spam someone's thread with off topic posts, seriously we should end this topic right here..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Had the post of the host file not been here we wouldn't be discussing that in the first place. Then we would all be productive. This thread is meant for the patched YouTube apk.

So yes, [MENTION=5727404]chocolote4444[/MENTION] please start your own thread. You look like you have quite the following already.
[Android Apps and Games] jacomail95:
Just copy from your system/app folder the YouTube apk you're using in your internal memory, then you have a backup of that app. After flashing you just have to copy back in the same place but, again, copy it, don't cut it, so you can reuse it. Now enough off Topic, this thread is about arter97 YouTube, and that's not it
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
We had different members posting a variety of YouTube modifications here the last weeks, from warez injected youtube apks to micro G variants and I think he wants someone who can identify his posted screenshot to tell him what application he's actually using.. It's certainly not arter97's version, I'm pretty sure and therfore his question is unacceptable, I'm sorry if I'm wrong with that & please correct me then.. But that is how I understand that [MENTION=5206896]tatomolina11[/MENTION]

You guys are gonna get this thread shut down.

STOP POSTING other solutions and linking to other programs/warez.

You wouldn't go into a Developer thread for a ROM and start telling people to use another rom, would you??

Either use the provided APK by this dev or start your own thread shilling your own methods.

I feel its so disrespectful to [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] who is really the only dev providing this kind of work, and half the people complain about seeing the app not updated in the Play Store weekly.

Sometimes the app hangs on launch and needs a restart but other than that it's working fine. keep in mind that the YouTube v12 is not available for everybody on the play store... Maybe we'll get a more stable version later.
