Yeah that's true but at least I've informed people of the other option if they want it. I like background playback because I can carry on using my phone or lock it to save battery and listen to music etc. Good point though:)

It doesn't seem to work. Installed the app and the first thing I see is an unskippable 90sec ad...

Goddammit Google, this is exactly why people are trying to get rid of those ads...
[Android Apps and Games] Alhaddad:
i tried both arm and arm64 from 19/04 update. it seems to work on arm but not arm64. the previous update worked.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Try this version as well, there's some very recent updates here and here (Magisk versions). You are using a Nexus and to my understanding, anything Google had their hands on is immune to adblocking.. but that shouldn't stop us from trying! Also install AdAway seperately and patch your host file, see if that changes anything. Let us know if it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] kamild_:
Yeah I got a Nexus 5, but with a custom 7.1.1 ROM with Magisk and root.

Looks like the Magisk version of iYTBP is working for now, I'll use it for a few more days to make sure ads won't appear. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Ads

I have been getting a ton of ads today why is this happening
[Android Apps and Games] Ashish.akc:
am unable to download any video. it shows "failed to save offline" but was able to do so a couple days ago. tried clearing app data
[Android Apps and Games] sengottuvel:
Flashing reports successful, but app doesn't get installed

1. I am a big fan your work (coming from arkTube!)

2. I was trying to find a way to block all the ads, and I came across a method developed by you on the internet

3. Have I have my Nexus 7 2013 (I see that you also have one!) rooted? - yes, and I am using root explorer, hoping that this file manager has root access needed for this method to succeed.

4. Have I have the app installer downloaded? - yes

5. Am I 100% sure about the right .apk file? - no (this whole x64 x84 arm blah blah are super confusing; note: I am no developer, so please help)

6. However I managed to try this method a couple of times, but I do not see the app installed even after the app installation through recovery reported 'successful'.

Please help me get your modded installed on to my Nexus 7 2013 (DPI: 320; Architecture 32-bit; Processor: ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7I)
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
x64 is for 64 bit which means you need to flash the other one. Follow this guide to flash it the easiest way.

How were you able to do so it's a "red" exclusive feature..(red also has no ads so why would you be here)
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
Wut,,I thought that save video offline can be done w/o red..

I always use it with standard YT B4 Google decided to make ads unskipable so I use the patched YT..

Yes save offline is broken for all YT patched I think..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
It isn't. Well for countries with Red, that's probably the case. But for some other countries with less than ideal connection and data plans. We get offline playback for free. It's limited, you can only save a couple of videos at a time but it's free.
[Android Apps and Games] RawSlugs:
Guess some countries you get free
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
So not all country got that..

I think 3rd world country got that for free..

Well, I am a big fan of Team Blackout and their blacked out (inverted) apps as well as their transparent versions. I ran across an article this morning talking about a new extension for our laptop /PC Chrome browser. It is called "Magic Actions for YouTube" and it basically offers faster streaming, higher quality video, and... a "Night Mode" that makes having an inverted YouTube a tap away! Now, the video I saw showed the same option available for our Android version but initial setup through a laptop and Chrome is the first thing that has to be done. We may not have the newest version of the apk yet... Or I missed it in the YouTube settings... If anyone does get the 'Night Mode" in their apk settings, please comment on your steps... Maybe I missed something easy!

[Android Apps and Games] Toldorn:
I'm in Australia on a s7 edge and I had this working perfectly for the last couple of months (and had auto updates turned off) however I've started getting loads of ads in the YouTube app now.

Tried reinstalling using the installer and manually but with no joy.

Bummer.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Just read the first post, it's the same for every device. Make sure the apk is in /Downloads and flash the zip, easy peasy :)
[Android Apps and Games] RawSlugs:
Maybe it's a false positive with the servers that are being blocked
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
What and how the f$&k? Is it for a specific device or theme? I used to test inverted apps for djdarkknight before there was a Team Blackout and it's getting more and more difficult to get blacked out and stay current! Any help or links are appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] Tommydorns:
I'm using the last TBO YouTube with ad free and background play. Take the 6 smali files from modded YouTube that are required for the mods to work and put them in TBO YouTube. It's slightly outdated but not by much. I only use Substratum if I have to. Inverted apps are better than themes.
[Android Apps and Games] saneparadox:
How do you update the app
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Swift dark and coalfield theme. Both don't need TBO. Swift dark provides the background and I overlay that with coalfield for the icons. The Substratum once again supports priorities. So it's swift dark at the bottom and coalfield on top. I'm technically running 4 themes together. I get blacked out apps without blackout gapps.

Swift dark

Coalfield

GRVY

Reverie

All do not need TBO to work.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Oh, I totally agree but I just have to have the background playback and ad blocker for my phone. I am using their blacked out Hangouts, Google Now with Google Assistant all dark, A themed Pixel Launcher module for Magisk, Skype, Keep, Duo,... ALMOST everything I wanted. The Play Store needs their zip flashed and a copy of the same zip extracted, renamed and added to the data/app folder. I am going to try and do some quick file swaps and just see how it goes. Thanks for the tips and ideas!

It only gets updated every 3.14 hours. Seriously though, it seems like a few people have gotten the updating down,(since YouTube is nonstop updating... I remember when there were only a couple of Gaps... I wonder if it's possible to replace every Google app with an app that is not collecting EVERYTHING! Didn't the artists formerly known as Cyanogenmod do that?,
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
The new YouTube updates are generally not worth bothering with.

Unless there is a massive design change! I would luv to see the YouTube player like Mx player fluid with the slide to seek feature its amazing :)
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
I know that djdarkknight used to include a change that ignored updates from the Play Store. I can't imagine these incremental updates are adding anything new and exciting

Your installer doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:

[Android Apps and Games] 6:17:
It seems like Google ups the version number every week just because. It's like they say to themselves "Oh yeah! You're getting these ads!"
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Well since the YouTube app is a Google app, i believe (based from what I had read and what I was told) that those who modify the app to prevent the ads are seen somehow on their end. Though, I'm really not exactly sure what it is that they see.

I also feel that the ads are not only a YouTube app area but, since it relies so heavily on the Google Services, i believe that when a devices Google Services performs it normal refresh, it also receives its own updates as well that also addresses this too since ads are a major portion of the Google Services too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but, that's what I've seen... So Far anyway...

I think it really matters where you live if you get ads. Because luckily since about 4 months I never got any ad in this app here in Germany.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Doesn't make much of a difference to me. I'm currently on 12.13.23 and both bg playback and ad-free are still intact. People are just obsessed with that bigger number and Google abuses it. The what's new section states "We fixed the tubes that bring you videos – and some bugs too." but YouTube never stopped working. How they dare to force developers to make more use of their changelogs goes beyond me.

Darn naggit, you're right! Those motherfoxes!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Did you see the Media options in Firefox?

Go to the Settings --> Advanced then scroll down to the Media settings and see if changing those options works for you.

Also, there are Firefox addons you can also use that can help with the browsers media control.

Have you tried the other Mozilla Browsers? Like their "Firefox For Android Beta" or "Firefox Aurora"?

Just a suggestion/recommendation...

[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]

Neither changing options in the media settings nor installing Firefox beta / aurora didn't help to get background playback.

That is kinda frustrating now. It is due to the exclusiveness of YouTube red I guess ???

Is it possible to know how you did that, more in details? I got it but I'm not sure I know how to do it. Would appreciate it, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Okay... Here's some options to try on getting the YouTube Background Playback to work again in Firefox.

I can't guarantee that any one will work but, I'm confident that at least one of them should.

************

OPTION #1

************

There's Firefox Addons that may help. Some of them are:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/media-player/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/youtube-all-flash-player/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/magic-actions-for-youtube/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/youtube-center/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/external-video-player/

************

OPTION #2

************

Open Firefox and go to Firefox Menu -->settings --> delete privacy data --> check cookies and active login --> delete it.

Test it out.

************

OPTION #3

************

Open Firefox and go to the YouTube website.

Now go to the Firefox Menu and select Request Desktop Site.

Once the website auto refreshes, go to the address bar and confirm that the "m.youtube.com" changes to "www.youtube.com". If not then just change it manually.

The desktop site is known to have the feature enabled when it doesn't work on the mobile site.

Test it out.

************

OPTION #4

************

Open Firefox and go to YouTube.

Begin to play any video then open the video in full screen.

Then press the home button to go to home screen and then the video playback should have paused.

Now open the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom (you should see the playback bar open). Next, while in the Control Center features, you should be able to see the name of the video you had just paused on YouTube and if you go elsewhere, the play/resume option of the video should be available to continue playing in background.

Test it out.

************

From what I've seen, the default option for the Background Playback was removed because of so many users not wanting it defaulted on but, Mozilla overlooked the common sense toggle or similar to turn it on when a user wants.

Though, like the PC version, the app does have a Configuration Utility option (I've used only in certain cases) that can be modified to allow for the background playback to default on which is not widely announced because of mistakes that is so easily made that is a pain to undo without uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Believe me, if you don't know what your doing in the Configuration options, it can easily make for a bad day.

Well that's all for now. I really wish you the best of luck!

Huh, I can't seem to get this to work anymore. It was working perfectly fine, then YT got auto updated by the playstore. I ran the zip in TWRP and It said removing previous version, using the downloaded file, and then I restarted the phone. YT's uninstalled, just not on the phone anymore.

Is this something common?

short question concerning which apk to pick. I have the galaxy note 2 which should a be 32bit as i have looked it up. The specs of the phone state 265 ppi on a 720p display, so should i pick the dpi version that is clostest to that, i.e. 240 dpi? And finally, api version 16 or 21, could you enlighten me to what is the difference between them? Thx, looks very promising, thx.
[Android Apps and Games] purplepenguin:
Probably regular arm folder, just do noDPI and see if it works. Newest API if you're as updated as you can be
[Android Apps and Games] murok9042:
API 16 for Android 4.1 (Jellybean) and above

[Android Apps and Games] sc_neo:
First i want to say thank you...it works like a charm. I guess i had an add free version pretty early in my note 2's lifetime....maybe i recall that wrong and it was even before on my motorola milestone. I think its especially great that you keep all the older apks around. I actually opted for the last 11.39....build to get rid of that damend 3 suggestion video pop-up at the bottom that was introduced in feburary or so.

One more little question concerning the dpi. Out of curiosity i installed the 480dpi version on my note 2 which is apparently 240 dpi on a 720p display. Works, looks and feels exactly the same was far as i cantell as the 240 version. May i ask what the actual difference should be? I thought maybe the UI and stuff would just be smaller or someting. Is it more probably more resource hungry? Finally, i uninstalled the playstore youtube app before installing this package here. Now, i can only remove the icon, but cannot uinstall the youtube app anymore. Is that normal?
[Android Apps and Games] ayeitschris:
i flashed the installer and youtube is not showing up in my app drawer? anyone know why?

Also happen to me too :good:
[Android Apps and Games] DarkSilentSC:
Yes, that's if you're talking about un-altered stock youtube app from google. I'm talking about patched ad-free youtube apk here. The app no longer blocks ads anymore, youtube seems to be able to force show the ads. And due to the design of the patch (I suspect), there is no way of skipping ads (regardless of the ad's ability to skip) since the skip ad button is missing.

Should I be expecting an apk patch update?

[Android Apps and Games] nigelhealy:
I also get ads and I know I made nil errors, but some may have not unticked auto-update in play store. Go to play store, type in youtube, then top-right corner 3 dots untick auto-update. If you had it unticked already then you are in same situation as me, if you didn't do that then uninstall and it will restore to default which is what is the one the installer zip places. If you cant uninstall in play store then go to settings, apps, youtube and disable and enable after you unticked auto-update in play store.

Yep the adaway doesnt adaway :( I have one phone on MM with the Xposed youtube adaway, it used to block ads now does not. SO no surprise this apk method I'n using on an L phone is not blocking either. We need new code to block new methods.
