Can also confirm lagging issues with VP9 enabled on my device.

Xperia Z3

RR Nougat 7.1.2

SD 801

Ive modified my kernel values for performance and responsiveness and I hardly ever have issues with lag. Maybe SD 801 isn't powerful enough for VP9?

No idea but you can try this: DPI Checker

Can you make 320 DPI arm64? Thanks bro.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Finally! Thanks a big lot for this! Just one comment: noticed that just by installing the"vanced" installer, the app (red/black) installed by itself, I guess during reboot. Is this supposed to happen? I came to this mod when I noticed "YouTube background playback module" has just disappeared from Xposed repository
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Done. Non-Themed/ Red-Black / Grey-Black - arm64 (320 dpi) updated on AFH.

Hi , same for me on

otherwise it's awesome, thank you a lot for your work. No ads + Bakckground work :)

Just I'm wondering about the offline. Is it working ? Because I didn't the button even when I enable the option in the parameters

Edit: Ok my bad, there are very few countries where we can save in offline so it's normal that I can't use this feature

[Android Apps and Games] evertonjcorreia:
I've tested the last build and both the Adblock and the bgplay are working very good, but when I play a playlist in YouTube and I try to expand (clicking in the red circle) the queed songs the app crashes.

My version is the Youtube_12.27.53-1227532440_minAPI16(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)(grey-black-2.3)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback

I tried to install the Magisk module but it didn't work. It flashed fine, rebooted, but I'm still seeing the red text in the Magisk module section about updating after next reboot.

[Android Apps and Games] ZzEzZ:
Some Samsung devices can't flash certain modules through magisk manager. You have to flash through recovery. It's a current magisk issue.

Oh okay, much appreciated. I just tried the initial method with granting permissions and that worked fine. I would like to try the other modded version though, so I'll uninstall and flash via recovery. Thanks again.

Edit:

I flashed via recovery, the module showed up in Magisk with no red lettered update message, but the YouTube app is gone now.

[Android Apps and Games] Xombie37:
Alrighty, thanks. I actually ended up going back to the initial method involving permissions. Seems fine thus far.

When there's an update available, do I simply drop it into the created folder in system apps and overwrite the old file, or do I go through the process from step one again?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I can't seem to reproduce that issue.

Maybe a data wipe could fix it ?

If not, I want to see the logcat.

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
It won't show ads if improper permission is applied. Because the piece of code which shows the ads does not exist. We changed it.

Prove me wrong, tell me steps to do in which i can apply improper permissions which will show ads.

My best guess is that you didn't properly installed the latest version and you still were running the old version, that's why the ads shows up.

This screenshot proves that you are not using the latest YouTube Vanced version.

Because in the latest version I added a new option called "iYTBP Settings" in the settings menu.

It's not there in your screenshot.

Hence proved that setting different permission has nothing to do with ads. You just didn't install the latest modded version.

3. For folders set permission 755

4. For files set permission 644

Hi. Which build date to fix the blue color of playlist?

Arm rooted blck grey
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Currently no.

That background color is actually [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/transparent

So it is pulling the transparent color (#00000000) from your framework. Your framework is either missing that or it has a blue shade to it ? I have no idea.

In the next build I will added that color to YT and make it pull from within the app itself. So it will be fine.

Hi. Wow...illuminated by alien ufr (unidentified framework ROM):D
[Android Apps and Games] silvershadow:
like the mod so far! i remember old mods would just not have ads and start videos right away, im guessing youtube changed things recently? what happens for me using the OP version is the video doesnt want to start, just sits doing nothing with no play button.

using the vanced version, i see weird loading thing circling around the play button for about 30 seconds (the time it takes to play an ad) and then the video starts.

so yes, it hides the ad, but doesnt save anytime anymore like it used to.

still prefer this over no ads though :) keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
I'm not sure why but I can't get the app installed.

I have a Note 4 rooted and with xposed framework.

I've downloaded ''MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip'' and ''Youtube_12.27.53-1227533800_minAPI21(x86_64)(nodpi)(grey-black-2.3)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk'', put them into the standard download folder and installed via twrm.

The installation seems to be successful but the app is not installed and I also can't manually install it.

I then deleted the youtube folder in system/app, uninstalled youtube related xposed modules and tried it again and it still doesn't work.

Then I tried to manually put the app into system/app/Youtube with the right name, changed the folders permission to 644, rebooted and no success and I'm now completely out of ideas.

I also tried a older build

''Youtube_12.27.53-1227533700_minAPI21(x86)(nodpi)(grey-black-2.3)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk'' and it still doesn't get installed (automtically with zip or manually).

Any idea what to do?

I may have been using an older version yesturday, but i doubt it was much older, it may have just been one version older (as i installed it mid last week or so).

but i am using the latest one now (and when i reported the issue earlier, i was also using the latest version).

Again, thank you all for this app, its working great! i been using the arter adblock version for a while now, but i only know about this one that enables background playback for just over a week now.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
You can but some people may like it so it's not really an option to remove it from all. And making all the builds with and without it is not an option either. So the only option is adding a toggle for it but don't know how to achieve it, at least not yet. But don't have time for inspecting it now so someone else must figure it out ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cl0g:
Anyone got the problem, that Google Play keeps updating to the same/latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
Disable auto updates for youtube from the playstore to avoid the app updating on it's own.

If you installed the nodpi version you will still see the update available though. You must install the corresponding to your device's dpi version to avoid the update from showing on the playstore.
