Apologies on what may be a noob question but I was digging through the latest iYTBP-v12.45.54-b01.12.00-minAPI21-arm64-v8a-alldpi-vanced.apk with apktool and stumbled across a bunch of useful looking settings in the xml file for iYTBp preference relating to codec.

<PreferenceScreen android:title="Codec Override" android:key="codec_override">
<SwitchPreference android:title="Force VP9 Codec" android:key="iytbp_vp9_enabled" android:defaultValue="false" android:summaryOn="VP9 Codec forcing is enabled for supported devices.\nDisable if you encounter stuttering/lags in videos." android:summaryOff="VP9 Codec forcing not enabled." />
<Preference android:persistent="false" android:title="Default Codec" android:selectable="true" android:key="pref_default_override" android:summary=" - Click me to set the default codec of your device." />
<Preference android:persistent="false" android:title="VP9 Codec" android:selectable="true" android:key="pref_vp9_override" android:summary=" - Click me to enable the VP9 codec." />
<Preference android:persistent="false" android:title="Galaxy S8+" android:selectable="true" android:key="pref_hdrhardware_override" android:summary=" - Click me to enable hardware HDR." />
<Preference android:persistent="false" android:title="Google Pixel XL" android:selectable="true" android:key="pref_hdrsoftware_override" android:summary=" - Click me to enable software HDR." />
<EditTextPreference android:singleLine="true" android:title="Override Manufacturer" android:key="iytbp_override_manufacturer" />
<EditTextPreference android:singleLine="true" android:title="Override Model" android:key="iytbp_override_model" />

However in the actual app only "Force VP9 Codec" is visible.

Are the rest of these option hidden intentionally? Any idea how to restore them?

My reason: I am currently using a Nexus 6P with the model modded to "pixel" and it keeps using VP9 where it shouldn't. I thought these settings would fix it but they are gone =(
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
You did quite a detective work but didn't bother to search this thread lol

Go to Settings -> iYTBP Settings -> tap About several times

Hah figures. My bad on failing at search. Thank you for the quick help!
[Android Apps and Games] adfadfadf:
I've tried Magisk, root, root-manual method and all failed. I put the apk inside priv-app and app directory and both yielded no app in app drawer after reboot. What should I do to troubleshoot this situation?

device: HTC10 Resurrection remix 5.8.4
[Android Apps and Games] obol2:
Did your disabled YouTube app in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] adfadfadf:
Oh I did not! I just removed the original system app using my custom ROM's remove system app function. I guess I screwed up? I guess the ROM just removed the app folder directly?
[Android Apps and Games] obol2:
You need to have the correct apk in your download folder and flash the installer in TWRP
[Android Apps and Games] adfadfadf:
I guess I downloaded the correct one for my HTC10, i.e. arm64 vanced black version.
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
It does not go in priv app, it goes in /system/app
[Android Apps and Games] adfadfadf:
Like I said, I tried both directories and both failed. :/
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
Then use the zip installer, you must have failed to set the correct permissions
[Android Apps and Games] ZeRoZeRoRaZ:
Hey I would like to renew my question.
[Android Apps and Games] obol2:
Root version ? Do you have installer zip in download folder
[Android Apps and Games] adfadfadf:
Did you mean this installer? I flashed it in TWRP with log saying loading settings.sh and correct apk and no error. But, it did not work. It created a Youtube directory in /system/app, with correct permission ie. 755 for folder and 644 for files. But the app did not show up after reboot.

[MENTION=4923044]adfadfadf[/MENTION] HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS! Try to post a little smaller screenshot next time please. :D
[Android Apps and Games] night0crawler:
Good day everyone. Guys I'm having this issue. Though it appears occasionally, not always.

When I open iYTBP it stops automatically showing a pop-up saying 'YouTube not working' or 'YouTube stopped automatically' something like that with three options to choose from

1. Open app again

2. Close app

3. Mute until reboot

Well I guess I'm having this problem more frequently on 12.44 and 12.45 versions but as I said it's occasional. I had this problem on 12.42 version also maybe once or twice.

I'm using iYTBP 12.45 armeabi-v7a-320-dpi non-themed version on Moto G4 Plus running on Ressurection Remix latest and Gapps Mini with SuperSu 2.82-SR5

Anyone else having this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Logcat is needed. Also, you have some substratum theme?
[Android Apps and Games] night0crawler:
Well I guess I have to learn to take logcat. I'll look into that. And yes I have a substratum theme for Navigation bar called 'NavSwag'
[Android Apps and Games] rawgawd:
Firstly, it's an amazing app. Thanks for the features. Musixmatch usually provides lyrics on YouTube app. That doesn't work with this. Can anything be done about it?
[Android Apps and Games] jokernerd:
hye all, im user of nonroot version. after follow all instruction, my youtube will do good in screen wakeup. but will auto shutdown the youtube when the screen goes off around 4-5min. anyone faced same problem here? any solution bruh? or bug?

for info im using android 5.1.1(vivov3max user)
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
I guess you have used the non root version. It will probably work with rooted variants
[Android Apps and Games] JosephBlessingh:
Hi,

Is there any way to completely uninstall the vanced YouTube app? I installed it using TWRP installer.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Using the uninstall.plz file or the settings.sh file. Instructions on using those files can be found in the second post
[Android Apps and Games] SkaboXD:
what's the purpose of that?
[Android Apps and Games] briankamkobe:
I'm using the system app installation non magisk rooted method and after I installed one option not working for me and that is preferred video quality on mobile and Wi-Fi,I set it to higher than 1080p for both so I expect every video will be loaded on highest quality possible without manually switching,but still it default loads as 480p instead of 720p for example,(p.s I do not expect each video is the preferred quality)
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
It's a known bug in 12.44.53 and 12.45.54

Roll back to 12.42.59
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Sorry for my absence guys, been busy. This weekend I'll try to integrate ad blocking and update the op. Thanks for your contributions and suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Thanks. That would be awesome! If the app could also survive dirty flashes that would be a terrific bonus. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Jsilver73:
If you use either my magisk module or [MENTION=6449207]Roi007leaf[/MENTION] modded [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] installer script it will do ;)

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

If this has add blocking too it will be perfect solution :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] ranaxda200:
BTW where is the arm version app?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
In OP under "download links".
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Did you try the modified arter zip I made too?
[Android Apps and Games] ranaxda200:
Yes both ended up with the same error.

BTW I'm on arm 7.1. Do you include that app in the zip?

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Tried the regular shifting apk to the system/app and set permission up. Bang! Kinda old school fan lol.
[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
Unfortunately ADB on my computer does not work. I can't also install .apk directly from the phone because of an error packet... :(

I hope that in the future you do flashable ZIP with your app. Fingers crossed!
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Place the apk in a folder then copy that folder to root\system\app\. Then reboot. Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
Thank you so much!

It's work, but I have ads, AdAway don't want block it. It's possible to connect your app with YouTube AdAway module?
[Android Apps and Games] serdotlinecho:
This might not be a perfect solution but you can use adskip to auto skip the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] c-sanchez:
Thanks [MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION], this is really great! I don't like xposed for anything, so my only options was use some youtube client alternative, as Stream (a floating youtube)

iYTBP is working perfectly on tablet with Intel® Atom z3735F, Android 4.4.4 Kitkat (x86)
[Android Apps and Games] AptLogic:
If anyone is still having problems with the installer scripts for either arm or arm64, I went ahead and made my own:

ARM: http://aptget.azurewebsites.net/pdl/iytbp-arm.zip

ARM64: http://aptget.azurewebsites.net/pdl/iytbp-arm64.zip

Oh and did I mention no pesky ads? Just a direct download :)

Tested working on a Galaxy S5 running Lollipop.

**IF THE OP WANTS TO USE THESE ZIPS IN THE ORIGINAL POST: Please use only the links I have above. I do not wish for my updater script to be hosted on a site that bombards the user with ads whenever they want to download something as trivial as a modded YouTube APK. Thank you :3
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Thank you but ARM link doesn't seem to be working...
[Android Apps and Games] AptLogic:
I mistyped it :)

The link has been fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
It works now, thanks! :good:

Does app also survive ROM dirty flashes?
[Android Apps and Games] cr4ck3dn:
Link dead for ARM and how to install?

As simple apk install ?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Download and flash this in recovery.

http://aptget.azurewebsites.net/pdl/iytbp-arm.zip
[Android Apps and Games] cr4ck3dn:
Can't flash , installation aborted for both packages ARM and ARM64.

Another method to install?

Android 4.4.2 root.
[Android Apps and Games] AptLogic:
No other information/logs?

ALSO: Both of those links are temporarily down for about 13 hours... you guys exceeded my data out quota on Azure ;-;

UPDATE 2: I'm working on getting an alternate server up, the download links will be updated around noon EST today. (03/06)
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
Galaxy s6 Flat, Android 7.0, Noble Nougat Experience 3.1 Rom, Nog33k v7b4 Kernel,

Works great for me, no ads and bg working.

Edit: can you make it a Magisk Module?
[Android Apps and Games] RawSlugs:
Are there any DPI specific apk?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Sorry I don't use Magisk.

So I don't know!!

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

No, only nodpi variant

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Users with arm device has to wait till a nodpi variant release!

Myself or [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] will mod it ASAP
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
For magisk:

Copy & paste the apk into the existing magisk module (see screenshot for path) and rename it youtube.apk (like the already existing, of course delete the existing one), save it and flash it again...

Go to settings, apps, youtube and delete app data (not only cache) and restart the phone..

Done :)
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
What about the lib folder? Also replace it in zip?
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
Tested, you only need to replace apk in zip/system/app/Youtube.

Compress and flash as a module.

Tip: edit module.prop and change app version (just for convince).

Worked thank you !

I can make a magisk module , but who should I give the credit in the description?
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
360° videos work as aspected?
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
Hello all! Hoping for a little help. I'm successfully using this app, but currently on v. 12.05.53 which came baked into Experience OS R1 (which is awesome!). I've been theming it with Swift Black until recently. I mentioned to Per (SB dev) that casting text was black on black, so he put out an update. Now, I can't theme it at all! Getting an error in substratum. I'm guessing the issue is with my outdated YouTube version?

Long story short, what's the method to update to the new version? Just download and install? I'm hesitant because.. well I've had issues before haha.
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
Works

And WTF, this is new?
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
Apk or magisk?
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
No magisk for me. Maybe that's related? Recently clean flashed without magisk, just supersu built in.
[Android Apps and Games] BaTarrY:
You don't need magisk for that, i asked to know what ver you installed, apk or magisk.

Your question means apk.

Install the updated apk , just like you installed the first apk.

If you have x64 cpu, install the updated apk which you can found in the previous page.
[Android Apps and Games] thalesbraga:
Working smoothly thanks a bunch. Just missing the channel marks remove, is it possible to block them?
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
Yes I have x64 CPU. I actually didn't manually install the apk because it came baked into the ROM.

Ok so I'll just install APK right over the old one. Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Don't know if its new or not but 360° videos needed the lib folder extracted out of the YouTube.apk to work in this adfree version. Didn't knew if the older lib folder in the magisk module v. 12.13.53 works with the newer apk v. 12.14.56 or not. So it apparently works. Is this because the libs didn't changed since v. 12.13.53 or are they the same in all versions?
[Android Apps and Games] tnpapadakos:
thanks for this app...nice work
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8lY7pYQ4GSzTEhkRU5fX3htTUk/view?usp=sharing
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
:eek:

Just like others said, have you read the directions? I'll give you a hint. If you tap the APK and click install you're doing it wrong. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
The new lib folder is not the same as in 12.13.53. So I have to integrate it in the magisk zip for a new update. So it was just coincidence that it worked to replace only the apk.

Good to know. Thanks for the updated module.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
OK, didn't thought of this but I can confirm that replacing the apk only worked for the previous versions too, I never observed any glitches...

And I want to mention that I regard this as a kind of work around only, it's no substitute for the updated module, I actually always flash the module as soon as it is available, just for the impatient ones, like me... :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
No crying allowed.

Question for legality

This is 100% legal yes? By legal I mean also morally? I ask not for myself but for someone I know who was curious. Personally from my stand on it all, it could be illegal AF and I'd still hope on deck just to score one over on Google apps and YouTube. :) anywho....please get back to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
They see your post regardless. If they don't respond, they either don't want to or they don't need to. Your request has been silently denied or accepted.

Yes, it is completely legal. If it wasn't, XDA moderators would've locked the thread a long time ago. Whether it's morally right, that's up to you. I personally don't have any morality issues with depriving Big G of an income I wouldn't spend anyway. I already spend $9,99/month on Drive for many years now. Background play and ad-free additions to YouTube (which can be attained in a dozen different ways) is not something I would ever pay for. Additionally, it's not available in every country.

Between you and me, I think this is sheer amusement for the devs over at G's HQ. They just wait until ZZ uploaded all 40 something versions and then they release another update that changes 2 silly lay-out items just for the heck of it. It's hilarious office entertainment: "Aaaaand.. RELEASE! Ahahaha, look, they already have people reminding them a new version has been released in the thread! This never gets old."

I am running Oxygen OS 5.0 (stable oreo) on my op3T, and am rooted with magisk 14.3. This had been working fine for months when I was on nougat but I started having problems installing via the rooted methods in OOS oreo. Thankfully, the non-rooted youtube apk posted by laura almeida has worked perfectly. The people working on this project are amazing, I simply can't thank you guys enough.

[Android Apps and Games] this.guy.lol:
way to skip over my question and sneak one in. Let me ask again...is this app legal? Does it infringe on YouTube red or is it simply just a mod work around?

PS. I REALLY don't care if its legal or illegal. I'm ONLY asking for someone I know who is curious. They are morally dignified so hense why I'm asking. Someone please let me know the legality of this entirely thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
I didn't ask a question, let alone 'sneak one in'.

Tell Sergey and Larry it's legal. ?

PS: There is no such thing as 'moral dignity' either.
[Android Apps and Games] this.guy.lol:
Haha thanks! I was asking for my pastor. Tossed him the idea for a modded version since hes pounded with ads. He was curious about the legality of it all. I already knew what it was but I wanted to be 100% and he wanted to know. And I feel you, I don't pay for anything from big G. Not even Netflix xD it is pretty funny. I remember I called Google one day to alert them about the FRP lock bug and some other issues with a Google inapp bug on 90% of apps and they laughed but look at em now...still unpatched xD

Hello thanks for this great app!!! Workin much better than OGYouTube. I have a problem I installed Magisk black version and play store show update for YouTube. When I update all features disappears and black theme also. I found a way to detach iYTB from store using Titanium Backup but that's a temporary solution sometimes it reappear in my apps section. Is there a way to permanently detach it from store updates?

Is it possible to have a version with a downloader in it? (Youtube2Mp3 function) idk if it is maybe asked already.. (when already asked, sorry for that!)
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Read, read, search and read some more, folks! The second post explains this clearly. If you want to properly detach iYTBP from Play Store, use the setting in iYTBP_use_this_settings.sh or add iYTBP_detach_from_playstore.plz to your download folder. It's really easy. TitaniumBackup detach only works a short while.

You can also disable automatic updates in the Play Store.

Hello,

I just found a color bug when i was searching for an artist. White text on white backround as you can see in the screenshot.

I would also like to ask if there is a similar mod for the YT Music app(insane UI and structure). I would really like to see backround playback in that app too. Does anyone have any informations about this? Or is there sonething in development?
