Out of curiosity, if you sign out your account does it effect adblocking? People reported a difference in adblocking effectiveness between being signed in or out, like Google does redflag accounts and apply server sided modifications...
[Android Apps and Games] copticwalad:
I have same issue after finally deciding to try it. While it does block ads, Shield controller doesn't have mouse functionality (which is relatively rare now). Obviously xposed isn't an option with Nougat and then the issue with this as well is there's no Leanback Launcher icon, so needs Sideload launcher. Oh and voice search with Youtube open brings up keyboard instead of listening.

Arter97 if you can, there's a huge Android TV community (5-10million) that needs YouTube for Android TV version 1.3.11 Patched. It's nodpi and Version: 1.3.11 (10311100), arm, Package: com.google.android.youtube.tv . Ironically hasn't been updated since April of 2016 so shouldn't be a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
Apparently the new update to the Google play services (11.0.56) is causing the appearance of a huge amount of ads.

To test it, I cleaned data & downloaded and installed Google play services v11.0.45 (using system app uninstaller and downloading the APK from apkmirror).

The result clean YouTube without ads.

So OP, if you can check it out and see what changed and fix it it would be great.

how to control overloading of videos.????

i am a mobile data user.

if i open one video 50 min but i dont like this video so i watched only 1 min

but my youtube app already consume 25 min of data for with video.

so i waste 24 min of mobile data.

i need to control the buffering ..

i donot need to waste by mobile data...

any idea ?????
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
You can't control the buffering. I would suggest only watch videos in an area with good signal to cut back on that.

As for the go apps those will be difficult as they will only be released in some countries.

Trouble installing the apk

Hey, I'm having trouble installing the apk file

I've followed the instructions so I put the apk in the download folder on my sdcard.

Then moved the installer zip on the sd card and flashed it in recovery.

When my phone rebooted, nothing happened and no youtube app installed :/

Am I missing something or can anyone help me?

Thx in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Potato997:
Have you extracted the file? Now the APK is inside a .zip
[Android Apps and Games] kookplaat:
Yes I extracted the apk before moving it :(
[Android Apps and Games] Potato997:
Can you tell me if during the installation in TWRP there was a message like "Using YouTube 12.xx.xx etc.."? And if you are using a microSD as internal storage?
[Android Apps and Games] kookplaat:

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I presume you have got root if not do it. Copy the extracted apk to /system/app, create new folder with "YouTube", place the app there. Set Permissions of the app to 755 and then reboot. Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] mxmaniac:
I'm also having the same issue mentioned a few posts back in post 2092 and 2094.

As of recently there are long, unskippable ads before every video. Updating to the latest patched youtube version did not help.

My google play services is version 10.2.98
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
I'm using 10.5.62 try to update to this version
[Android Apps and Games] KBay:
I wish it could work without root
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
Does it need root? I know it needs an unlocked bootloader, but it does not need root. The install is booting into custom recovery (which requires unlocked bootloader) and then when Android is not running, modifies files /system etc. As such, I don't see a step which involves root.

Anyone want to correct my view?
[Android Apps and Games] marbertshere:
In the op several lines from the top it says that root is required
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
I dont think it does. Root would only be required if you didn't have a custom recovery in which you mounted system read/write and do the biz. If you could not do it in recovery, then yes root would be required.

So I don't think it does need root. I don't see though how you can avoid unlocked bootloader, custom recovery.

Please, explain to me exactly which step needs root. I don't see it.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Deleted.

(Wrong thread.)
[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
I'm willing to accept I can be wrong, but you appear to not understand. I know which apps ask for root and I the modified YT app is not in the list of apps requesting root. Therefore I don't think this needs root.

Correct, there is a modification of system, but not by android, it is done once in the recovery install, so where root is not even applicable.

Happy to be proved wrong! :)

Mention of adaway is entirely different, it must modify a file. There is a systemless method, but I'm still thinking adaway needs root. The modified YT apk does not need root.

New detached YouTube from PlayStore script out. Flash zip in TWRP works really well:)

Read the thread properly I just use YouTube in the detach list. Your can use the default one or create your own.

The Google apps that are detached if you're not using the optional txt file are Contacts, Gmail, Google App, Google Plus, Hangouts, Phone, Photos, YouTube and Gboard (Google Keyboard).

This really helps stopping YouTube updating itself and bringing ads back for some users.

New version is v2.5.zip

I can't make this **** work at all. I'm on res remix 7.1. Do I need to uninstall YouTube first? I've tried both with no luck. Installer says all is good when I flash but YouTube isn't there when I reboot. Tried the manual install and it days the package is corrupt. Help plz
[Android Apps and Games] NikolaRS035:
Download apk zip and extract it to the same folder where your installer zip is, reboot to recovery and flash installer zip.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffJonesX2:
Can't map path to file. Its on my external SD card. The installer works from internal but I can extract the apk zip to that location. If there's just a straight apk file rather than the zip that I have to extract I think it would go thru

[Android Apps and Games] JeffJonesX2:
I've done this now "successfully" now from both internal and external. But when I boot my phone YouTube isn't anywhere to be found. Do I need to already have YouTube installed from play store? I thought I tried that before asking initially.
[Android Apps and Games] NikolaRS035:
When you flash the Installer.zip it will automatically find apk and install it. It could be that installer didn't detect the apk, it happened to me once, don't know why.

This is how it shows after everything went as it should, if it doesn't show apk name, installer didn't find apk.
[Android Apps and Games] lombyzgz:

Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A3003 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
It wouldn't but that's not why I said what I said. Someone was talking about a script that doesn't update the app or something. There no need for any kind of script, you either update apps manually which is what I do or the simplest of all simple things, you uncheck the app from being updated . Can't get any easier. Using a script for that is ridiculous IMHO
[Android Apps and Games] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, there's at least three apps I never allow to update by turning off auto update. So I'm familiar with that.

I'm researching these patched YouTube apps as I'm considering finally updating to Nougat, where I'll lose xposed YouTube Adaway.

But IF these patched apps no longer work, stopping auto update won't help.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffJonesX2:
Thanks. I'll keep trying
[Android Apps and Games] Jexx11:
It's a common issue that affects multiple people, when you flash the zip, twrp says everything installed correctly, but when you boot up the phone YouTube is not in the app drawer.

This happened to me as well and the only fix that worked was manually moving the modified youtube.apk to the correct location.

This issue has been reported numerous times in this thread and I've still never seen a definitive reason why it happens or a surefire fix, other than what I said above.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffJonesX2:
If the correct location is just where the installer is then I'm doing it right. Would it maybe help to have them in a folder with nothing else in it? Im gonna try that. I'll edit to let ya kno if that works after I do it

Edit: still no luck. maybe its the version I'm trying to flash? Idk. I'm prolly gonna give up n go back to marshmallow
[Android Apps and Games] mackeftw1:
Finally got it working.

For you people that youtube not showing up in app drawer. This is what i did to get it to work.

1. Download the apk.zip on to your computer and extract it to your desktop.

2. Download the apk.installer to your computer and transfer it to your sdcard/download folder, same for your now extracted file you have on your desktop. Should look like this if you're using the 480dpi file = youtube_12.19.56-1219563440_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)-adaway

3. Boot into recovery and flash the apk installer.

4. Reboot and now you should have the youtube app in the app drawer.

You should preface your post with `obviously I'm doing something wrong' and then give the details.. that is more helpful.
