should I install iYTBP_12.27.53-1227533400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)-adaway.apk before or after module installation ?

I have installed module only and I dont see YouTupe application on application list
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Did you reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Deleted
[Android Apps and Games] tomaasz:
yes, I rebooted and I don't see YT application
[Android Apps and Games] dayl1ght:
me same.

first install work, but later comes with Ads , I uninstall youtube and flash again but the cant see youtube app .
[Android Apps and Games] Andres Videla:
thanks, works excellent
[Android Apps and Games] Alphajo:
You won't see the YT application until you re-enable it in settings, under applications.
[Android Apps and Games] MiyamuraNEET:
Unfortunately, yes, Samsung killed in Android 4.3 and has no custom rom, it is also very likely that no one has a device as bad as that to create one, my M xperia stopped working with problems in the internal memory and to exchange would cost much, I hope Soon to buy another new... :crying: :crying: :crying:

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
No need to worry..!!

New test build looks very promising..!!

I am just waiting for more feedback from testers.

If everything goes well, ZaneZam will soon release a stable build for both Android 4.1+ and Android 5.0+
[Android Apps and Games] Annie the Eagle:
Newest version works perfectly! No ads, no layout ads so far! :)

Brilliant stuff [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] koragg97:
Hey everyone, I was using the xposed module but found out that it's been removed from the repository and even though I've got it installed, it doesn't work due to some of the YouTube updates that came recently. I gave this a shot but it didn't work, any idea why? Here's what I did:

1. Went to system/app and renamed the original YouTube.apk to YouTube.apk.bak.

2. Pasted the modded version and named it YouTube.apk.

3. Changed permissions to r-w-r-r.

4. Rebooted phone.

It doesn't work in background nor when the screen is off and after some time it crashes so I had to go back to the original one.

Nevermind, fixed. Had to uninstall the stock YouTube app via Titanium Backup, reboot, put the modded version in system/app, fix it's permissions and reboot again. Now works just like it did with the xposed module before. Huge thanks to the devs! ^^
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Same as above, I don't see a option for playback, any help please?
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Thank u but for this particular brilliant stuff we should thank [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] if they show up. I'm just the producer at the end. :) but yeah looks very good. But lets be patient and test some more time.
[Android Apps and Games] Aswin08:
Just curious why ZaneZam's version file size is around 27 MB and OP's version is around 42MB?!

would you mind posting a link for arm64 adboclk/bg playback that doesn't spam. I don't want to enter my credit card to download your file
[Android Apps and Games] SuperSandro2000:
Use zippy share
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
As I wrote in the op, sorry guys but I cannot provide support for the magisk modules or any other link that is not in the official list.

[MENTION=3429298]toolhas4degrees[/MENTION] - you've clocked on an ad. All the mirrors I provided can be downloaded without registration. I must say, you guys are pretty bad at separating ads from actual links, I wouldn't have expected it from a dev oriented forum like this :D

As I said, if anyone can suggest a host service that doesn't require registration and also doesn't have ads I'll be happy to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:
What ROM are you using? The arm64 version is working just fine on my OP3T.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Man, I was thinking the same thing! LoL
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I'm surprised they even see ad links! O_o

[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
I am wondering if it's something in the 11.6 update..I saw a few posts who were still on v11.1 said they had no problems. I may push and overwrite the existing like i did with artur's no ad version for Nougat. I tried a couple of zips i found in the thread
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Exactly! AdAway saves. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
I have that but I really like that other feature. I am going to solve this somehow..

This is version 4 of my module.

I implore people to physically delete system/app/youtube directory and and data/app/(whatever YouTube is called) before installing. I guarantee it will work

I did not install youtube before. My OP3T was youtube virgin. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aer0zer0:
I'm on the nightly builds of magisk, works here
[Android Apps and Games] gorkmc:
Thanks! My OP3T worked fine but I don't find youtube icon in app drawer. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] LazerL0rd:
For the Magisk, you should edit the config so that it REPLACES the whole of the YouTube folder.
[Android Apps and Games] gorkmc:
I don't have Youtube folder. I didn't installed it before Magisk iYTBP zip.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Thanks. Working well. Now I can listen to Low Find mixes and enjoy ad free YouTube. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Can you clarify, do you mean:

1. Delete /system/app/YouTube/ and /data/app/com.google.android.youtube-2/

2. Flash your module using the Magisk Manager

3. Reboot

Will the above also create a new YouTube icon in the app drawer? If not, where to get the correct YouTube .apk?

Thanks :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] aer0zer0:
Exactly it. Running on my HTC 10, no ads
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Thanks. The module doesn't create a YouTube icon. Which .apk to install for a HTC U Ultra?
[Android Apps and Games] aer0zer0:
Really? Arm64 for the apk

Using the newest YT no arch on Google Pixel 7.1.2 stock unrooted. No ads so far. Thanks ! :good::highfive:

This is a lifesaver b/c before the only way to block ads in YT was being rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] MetalWarrior:
A YouTube update has been provided to me via PlayStore (didn't install of course). Seems they bypassed the detach script once again... :(

YouTube is the only app I detached.

I'm on 6.0.1 (Existenz rom) on a Xperia Z2.

Anyone else using the detach script getting the update on play store?
[Android Apps and Games] DKT25:
Ads are showing again
[Android Apps and Games] MathewST1:
Ads seem to be back.

The non-root version still seems to be successful at blocking ads, so that's a temporary fix until the normal version works again.
[Android Apps and Games] donny110:
I just actually got an ad for the first in a while? However it's random, not all videos get it so far. Could someone point me in the right directions as to how I can be of help to the developers in figuring this out? I don't want to be one of those complaining types about the ads. Because honestly, i deeply respect the devs and the work they have put in!
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Fix already found.

Will be releasing soon.

Stay tuned
[Android Apps and Games] MCFADONNA:
No ads in weeks still works great using magisk module .
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:

[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
I just got an ad on the 12.53 version. It was a good run but unfortunately they just came from nowhere lol.
[Android Apps and Games] westkone:
Me too. An unskippable video ad has just appeared on the 12.25.54 version whereas it was working fine for several days without any ads.

Edit : JFYI, I'm using iYTBP magisk version, NanoMod magisk version and AdAway.

I also have "systemless hosts" option ticked in magisk manager.
[Android Apps and Games] braindead444:
The current spurt in ads is something that happens from time to time when using this app. The only way for it to be fixed is for the app to get an update to defend against the new ad serving plates that we are now forced to eat off of again. In the past a reinstall has temporarily solved the issue but it seems to persist no matter what. Just clear your app cache and look into adblock lists for YouTube if you are lucky enough to have an adblocker that works with https certificates. Just give it time the game of cat and mouse continues. Also, I have found that using titanium backup to freeze the play store helps in preventing google from touching your apks. People mention that it seems like even though they tell the play store not to update apps YouTube is still tampered with. I think there is some truth to this even though all I have is anecdotal evidence...
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
As already pre-announced, everything fixed and the release is coming soon. Real life priorities :) but u r the first who will know well at least the second as we are taking testing very serious this time. But stay tuned coming today still...
[Android Apps and Games] Fraught:
Also suddenly getting unskippable ads on almost every video on 12.27.53 arm64, but good to hear that an update is coming. Unskippables are the wooorst.

Just a quick thank you, awesome work and much appreciated! Worked first time following your instructions copying the APK into system/app on a Oneplus One and my new Oneplus 3T.

Thank you so much for this MOD!!! :o
[Android Apps and Games] VincAlastor:
but thank you very much for your support :))) really nice!
[Android Apps and Games] Fraught:
...huh, same here. I don't get any ads when I switch accounts, and I tested this by going between the accounts numerous times, WITH the same video, and with other random videos, and my usual account ALWAYS got ads, while the other one didn't. What's annoying, though, is that the account I'm getting ads on is THE account I use for Youtube, and where I have all my viewing history and subscriptions etc.
[Android Apps and Games] n_alvarez2007:
How do you activate background play back?
[Android Apps and Games] Arerive:
automatic active. just touch home button to get out from youtube and it will run in background
[Android Apps and Games] n_alvarez2007:
Hmm then something either isn't working or I installed it wrong. I have the apk in a folder by itself under /system/app but not sure what to do from here.
[Android Apps and Games] A_Random_Guy:
Did you install youtube update from playstore before? Try removing any updates to the youtube app and disable auto updates
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Can anyone else confirm this ?

I can't seem to reproduce this issue on my end.
[Android Apps and Games] Arerive:
if you already have youtube folder and apk in /system/app delete it and replace with youtube apk mod from here to that folder. set permissions apk to 644 and reboot. dont forget to disable auto update youtube in playstore
[Android Apps and Games] n_alvarez2007:
It worked!!! Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Edit:

New release will be done today in which all ads will (hopefully) be blocked.

Stay tuned.
[Android Apps and Games] Zombor:
thanks alot for this - does anyone know why the Xposed Module Repository gives me " Access denied You are not authorized to access this page." ?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Because it is removed from xposed.

And the module is no longer updated.

I am not 100% sure but I bet Big G must have intervened.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
On a side issue, I was thinking what percentage of users block Utube ads, I would guess say less than 1%? Which surprises me why new ads get through.
[Android Apps and Games] sh500:
Hi all,

I'm trying to install the Majisk version 12.27.53 but the module is stuck on saying it will update on reboot. I have tried multiple reboots but no joy.

I had a few versions earlier one installed and that was working fine. But ads started appearing, hence trying to update.

The device is a Samsung Galaxy S6.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Fraught:
For what it's worth, I uninstalled Zane's version (the one you have to install as a system app), and instead used your non-root version (with microG), and the non-root version blocks ads (and I tested it using the same Youtube account and the same videos I got ads on every time earlier - including some others on top). I did get 12.25.54, but I also tried 12.25.54 of the system app version, and it still showed ads.
[Android Apps and Games] NikolaRS035:
Flash zip in recovery, it should fix the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Youtube v12.27.53 vanced!

Hi Guys,

sry i wasn't able to upload in time for yesterday but now here we go with

some very fresh and new stuff but i let the changelog speak for itself

Changelog "vanced" mod:

What's in:

Completely redid video ad blocking. (This is a much better and faster way)

Force VP9 Codec option for better video quality and lesser bandwith usage (Settings -> IYTBP Settings)

Simplified mod to enable background playback

Enable/Disable background playback via Settings

No need for a special build like the "motofix" one anymore

Casting working with all features (no ads on external devices not garanteed)

File names + installer adjusted to the new "vanced" mod naming

What's Fixed:

Blocked all video ads

Blocked all layout ads

Fixed "Save Offline" feature (only works in regions where it is supported)

Fixed all issues in both themes

NOTE:

due to name change u need the new installer called MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip to install this new version

ALSO NOTE:

i suggest to all of the users and contributors which are using the versions from this thread here to update to this new "vanced" version

as this is the only one with really no ads (for now *g*)

That all sounds pretty good, doesn't it? aaaand it won't be there without following people:

first and foremost [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] with his findings incusive the "solutions"! kudos and all credits to him!

[MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] with her themeing/testbuilding/testing and organizing/handling tests. credits and thx a lot!

and last but not least the recently showed up test volunteers! thx to all of u! see what we can archive

together

:highfive:

One last word about the whole thing. even though that this mod meanwhile has envolved and nothing to do anymore

with the "adaway" one from Arter97/Master_T and we would have now a good reason to open another new thread

we decided to stay here for now to render homage and further enjoy the good vibe, hope that stays so! :)

And just for the record again:

as we are not using no parts anymore of the original mods stated in the OP this isn't an

unoffical port of it anymore it's rather a completely new mod. so we have to adjust things sooner or later

[MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION] but i will for now mention that in second post. often stated but not often enough: thx again to u!! ;)

download info as always in the second post!

Enjoy!

[Android Apps and Games] gentano:
I know that post. But how does it help in my question (as it doesnt answer the question)? My internet (100mbit) is fine, its the Youtube-app, that chooses the 'wrong' resolution, very probably to save bandwidth (costs). If I was Google and "see" a 5" smartphone on the other side I would also make it to only deliver the 480p instead of the 1080p version (Reminder: Google disabled Instant Search to save bandwidth according to themself) as this is enough for the majority of the people.

PS: Never had a quality of internet related problem with a Xposed module which changed the resolution to maximum and also never had a QOI related problem with OGYoutube, where You could change default resolution to device maximum or whatever You want. Its that part we need from OGYoutube. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sh500:

Do I need to flash this MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip through TWRP befeore installing apk?

Do I delete old apk from system folder? (I'm rooted) and copy new vanced apk? or just install new vanced apk as normal app? and just delete old apk from system folder.
[Android Apps and Games] cl0g:
If i see it correctly: You need to download MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip AND the apk you would need and leave it untouched in Downloads-folder.

When flashing arter96....zip, it uses your apk in your download folder.

Ontopic: I installed latest and got some video ads here in Germany. Backgroundplayback works.
[Android Apps and Games] DKT25:
Nothing appears when I install the installer via twrp. After that can't install the app as it says it's corrupted.

And now there is youtube.apk folder which is like 220 mb and I can't delete it. Wtf is This??

Everything works great except VP9 codec which causes video stuttering at 1080p. But if it's turned off, videoplayback is fine.

Thanks for the great work on this modded app!
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
That's because your CPU can't handle 1080p VP9 videos.

Sorry nothing we can do about that.
[Android Apps and Games] giosaxda:
Please, give proper instructions how to install the thingy. I'm rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Congrats [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION], really awesome improvements. I'll definetly check your version out if ads ever appear on mine (apparently I'm one of the lucky ones, I never got any ads on my builds... maybe it's a regional thing). I removed the "poerted by" line from the OP ;)

[MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] : actually, VP9 videos @ 60fps stutter for me too, and my phone has a Snapdragon 820... I think it might be a YT bug

[Android Apps and Games] kesaras:
Incredible job as always guys! Keep this up we can't thank you enough <3
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Did you underclock cpu ?

Can you try using a performance governor ?

Actually what this VP9 codec mod does is change the value of Build.MANUFACTURER and Build.MODEL sent to google to "samsung" and "SM-G920F" respectively.

So, that google will recognize your device as Samsung Galaxy S6 and will let you stream VP9 instead of H.264

Thus, if the video is stuttering then it is because the CPU can't properly decode the video in real-time.

More info on VP9 -> VP9: Faster, better, buffer-free YouTube videos
[Android Apps and Games] :
Can't wait for [MENTION=8043063]Anova's Origin[/MENTION] Magisk module to try the new version :)

Awesome work guys (and girls :p ) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
No, but it's a custom rom, so I think it might just be a rom bug to be honest...
[Android Apps and Games] mustang_ssc:
Already tried on my OnePlus One with SnapDragon 801, frequency to 2,4ghz and performance governor (though not confident on how Kernel Adiutor applies the changes).

The stuttering issue still happening after this, only on 1080p.

Not sure if a log could grab an issue like this but if so tell me.

I have RR Nougat and Viper4Android installed. I don't think so but maybe the processing of both Viper and VP9 coder cannot be properly handled by the cpu, thus giving stuttering issues.
