Fair enough
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
I had the same issue and i fixed it with placing the lib folder. I tried several times to fix it and now it looks like this inside the youtube.apk folders are also lib folders so maybe you can try make those
[Android Apps and Games] #problem:
Ive also notoced background playback doesnt work with this latest one. Worked for my old one
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Latest version, including background play, working fine here:
[Android Apps and Games] #problem:
You are using google red
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
No, I'm using the Magisk Module and the latest .apk from this thread...
[Android Apps and Games] #problem:
Alright, I will try and reinstall it again .. I was using Arter's apk which didnt have background playback

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

What should be the permission of the lib folder?
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
1. Download the latest .apk

2. Rename it to youtube.apk

3. Install the Magisk Module

4. Disable the YouTube app

5. Copy the renamed .apk above to /system/app/youtube overwriting the existing youtube.apk

6. Reboot

7. Reenable the YouTube app

That is all you need to do...
[Android Apps and Games] #problem:
I dont have Magisk.. what is it?

I reinstalled it, and put the lib folder in, but it still crashes when opening a 360 degree video.
[Android Apps and Games] realista87:
i have the previous version iytbp-adblocked-12.05.53

what's the difference with the latest apk iytbp-12.13.53? some new features?

i have another doubt... how to delete the old yt version? i installed it with adb commands, but when i use the app System app remover ROOT i am not able to delete it.

what is the best method fo FULLY uninstall a system app? can i just delete the apk in system/ app folder?
[Android Apps and Games] NoNickNameHahA:
I use Titanium Backup.

[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
May i ask why we need the Magisk module?!

I don't use it and it's working fine for me, unistalled the the defaut youtube replaced with the apk from this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] NoNickNameHahA:
It is just a different way of installing the apk mod. You don't need it.

Sent from my SM-N920W8
[Android Apps and Games] morback:
Of you dirty flash a rom update, will the app be uninstalled?
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Yes,and you have to repeat the procedure.
[Android Apps and Games] realista87:
since i changed rom, getting a nitrogen os, the method to install the app is CHANGED.

i have 2 apk of 2 versions of the app modded, BUT if i use the method to put the apk INSIDE a folder, it does not work, at the reboot it is not going to install on system.

BUT.... if i only use the apk alone, without a folder ( always in the system/app folder) , at the reboot IT WORKS, i found it installed!!

could someone explain this behavior? is the guide on the OP not updated?
[Android Apps and Games] morback:
I knew it ?

You just confirmed the main reason I use the Magisk module, it stays after a dirty flash ?

And no problem with substratum theme as well, no need to reapply it ?
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Use either the apk or the module not both[emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] siti070274:
Thanks for youtube 320dpi variant it remove update on playstore :good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
So, if I use Magisk module, I won't need to remove the apk first?
[Android Apps and Games] savvymatthew:
If I have Magisk, do I have to used the Magisk Module or will just replacing the apk still work too?

I don't know much about Magisk thinking about switching to it try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] upperbladez:
Thanks for the help though. Wish the option to download videos was built into this...maybe the devs will add it. Who knows.
[Android Apps and Games] danilomaster:
Does the original YouTube has PiP working? Or it is a YouTube red feature(paid)?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
this mod has it . Just need Oreo

Ok, it's Mardi gras weekend and I'm in New Orleans. Time to go!
[Android Apps and Games] zalaTheOne:
Nope, only youtube red has Pip mode
[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
re-enable it
[Android Apps and Games] MPenguin:
So what can I do? The module shows up add is active in Magisk, but the app doesn't install.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
I use Tubemate to download from YT.

Currently, I'm using the non root version of iYTBP x86, black.

Works fine with Tubemate. Download from official Tubemate site. Will need to install a recommended mp3 converter. No issues encountered.

Open the video on iYTBP and use the sharing feature to open the link in Tubemate and download.

Hope this info is helpful. Apologies if not.

Cheers!

For my Nexus 5X the fix for this problem was iirc included in the 8.1 update. But maybe I'm wrong.

Could you explain me pls.

[Android Apps and Games] koolkunz:
Damn. The hate is real. A simple yes or no would've sufficed but no everyone has to be toxic otherwise where's the fun right ?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
You can drop the whole toxic bit. It doesn't fly here. You didn't follow the rules and then you got smart ass answers. Welcome to how the world works.

Had you followed the rules you would know first, you never ask when something is gonna be updated. It's rude. Just be happy it is not as bad as it used to be. Remember this is not a support forum.
[Android Apps and Games] Avhill:
iirc means "if I remember correctly" :)

I didn't notice it, until I tried the official version... And you're right, PiP isn't available without YouTube Red (and YouTube Red isn't available in my country anyway). It's always good to know, thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] upperbladez:
Means if I recall correctly
[Android Apps and Games] distorter:
Tried installing Magisk Repo version after uninstalling YT updates but didn't change the app. Detached from Play Store and tried again but no luck.

Downloaded zip and apk and up and running, thanks OP. Nice mod.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Yeah the installation method seems so complex. I thought I could just install the magisk module from the repo and it would work. Is that what I'm supposed to do? Or do I not use the official magisk repo version and follow the instructions in the OP with different downloads?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
All I did was delete youtube and flashed magisk repo black version and that was it. People here have made it seem so complex when its actually really easy. I know there is other methods but this for me was the easiest
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
That's what I did. But I didn't get any Youtube app in my app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
And you deleted the YouTube app?
[Android Apps and Games] Daniel Carter:
I can't login in YT Vanced rootless. I've got latest versions of YT Vanced & microG.

"Check network connection" is the error.

Is there any way to solve the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Yes. I tried disabling it, doing a systemless uninstall using the debloat magiak module, and completely removing it.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Flash the magisk module in twrp. Just download the file from magisk and use twrp to install
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
That didn't work either. The flash was successful but no app in drawer. I'm on OP3T OOS OB 22, Magisk 15.3
[Android Apps and Games] MPenguin:
Same problem. Module shows top in Magisk, but app does not get installed.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Weird. I tried enabling the YouTube app after disabling it and now it works as long as I don't update it from the play store. I thought I had to completely remove the official YouTube app and this mod would be a standalone application.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Just a suggestion..

If the player works, then it's definitely not a connection issue.

Try using an older version of microG.

Not sure if it'll work though.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Good to hear you got it working now anyway
[Android Apps and Games] Daniel Carter:
Thanks, mate. It worked with an older version of microG.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
You're welcome mate!

Glad you got it working for you..

Cheers!

Thank you all for the hard work. Have been looking for something like this and am glad to have found it.

Being a noob in rooting, and unfamiliar with Magisk, I took the easy way out.

Running stock MM v352 on ZenFone 2 ZE551ML, SuperSU, with TWRP and Xposed, I installed the non-root version, with older version of microG, uninstalled YouTube from system apps. Everything works fine, including downloading via Tubemate.

Have also used the non-root version on Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE running AOSP 7.1.2, with TWRP and Xposed and it works the same.. No original YT app..

Thank you all!

I've installed with success a few days ago the magisk module mod , but now an update is out. How will I be able to update?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Just flash the update in magisk that's all
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Could've sworn it used to work without red when Oreo first dropped. My bad, time to nurse the hangover.
[Android Apps and Games] ibosilj:
It still works here. You are talking about iytbp mod or official YouTube app?

And you sure you've enabled all permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Its not a question for me . Someone else asked if red was required for PIP. Someone else said it was. But thank you for that, I knew it worked without red. I don't have Oreo so I don't really care, but some do.
[Android Apps and Games] ibosilj:
That's weird. I'm using it as we speak. LA15.1 latest arm non root blacked version. And I'm not subscribed to YouTube Red.

Edit. Razerman explained.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Yes, it's an feature of YouTube Red subscription but the same mod that allows background playback also allows the PiP mode. You just need an Oreo and you are good to go. It used to work in my Nexus 5X once it got Oreo and just updated my Galaxy S8 to Oreo last night and it works on that too.
[Android Apps and Games] distorter:
Yep, same for me. I expected it to be that easy as I understand most things on xda, the repo just didn't work.

Running latest Liquid Remix official + latest unofficial 8.1 gapps with Magisk 15.3.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Did you disable the app? Then flash the magisk repo. Then enable the app again and your good to go. If that doesn't work delete the app entirely and try flashing again
[Android Apps and Games] distorter:
Initially tried that and then removed with TB but still had same results. Using the zip installer with apk in twrp worked perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Yeah, every device acts differently. That's why it's great to have different methods of installation. Glad to see you found the one that works for you (saw in your last post).
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
At least you got it working anyways :good:
[Android Apps and Games] albi7894:

[Android Apps and Games] unibombz:
Thank you SO SO MUCH for this awesome patch app. It works excellent. OP instructions are nice and clear! Keep up the good work! Love that we can DETACH from play store too!

Thank again keep up the awesome work !
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
How did you install it originally? Do that again with updated APK. Or if you used magisk repo version, update in magisk manager. There isn't a new update to this mod as far as I know. Do you mean regular yt? Because you don't update with that
[Android Apps and Games] albi7894:
I installed trough magisk zip, but I remember doing a few things before..
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Depends on which magisk zip. The one from the repo (magisk manager app), the universal installer, the one from post 4?
[Android Apps and Games] Anakill:
Hello,

I'm having a weird behavior of the notification panel. Check the screenshot below. It looks like a black version with orange font...
[Android Apps and Games] kopitalk:
That's simply following the color theme of the video you're playing. Try playing something else and see how the color changes accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] Anakill:
Thank you, maybe this is a new feature introduced in oreo
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
It is. In 8.0 Google gave the app developers complete control of the notification color. Media players will now show cover art as the notification background color. Ugly and annoying I know
[Android Apps and Games] orkuz:
Hi !

How set this YouTube in default setting instead of non mob YouTube ?

I have desactivate the original YT but mob YT doesn't open link from chrome.

Thanks !!
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
If you've disabled the original YT correctly, it can't be opening in there so I'll assume the video starts playing in Chrome for you. If that is the case, you should go to Chrome's 'App info' and clear defaults in the 'Open by default' section.

Note that when you navigate to youtube.com within Chrome, tapping videos will not open in any other app. This is by design.
[Android Apps and Games] orkuz:
It doesn't work :/.

Because when YT is not desactivate chrome open video in the app. But not with modded YT
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Default apps > Opening links > YouTube (you'll only see one if the other is

correctly

disabled) > Open supported links > Open in this app

I assumed you're on Oreo but since you're not sharing any useful information, I'm assuming lots of things. In other Android versions it's somewhat the same anyway. If you can't get it working after this, you should meditate on it for a while. Ohmmmm...
[Android Apps and Games] chossen:
quick question, i am using the unrooted version of this app and i love it so much but because i love it that much i do not want to update to oreo because of the PIP. I hate it when it minimizes to a small player when pressing the home button. Can that feature be disabled and play in the background normally? please help
[Android Apps and Games] johnholley123:
Yes, in YouTube > Settings > General there is a PiP toggle.
[Android Apps and Games] Karut:
Can I allow ads for specific channels or my subscriptions?
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
No.

You could always install the non root version to enjoy ad free, and use the stock youtube to watch those specific channels.
[Android Apps and Games] koolkunz:
Did I though ? Did I ask when this will be updated ? I asked if there are unofficial versions which are maybe updated more frequently. There is nothing wrong with that..Just like ROMS even some mods have unofficial version which get more frequent updates but may not be as stable I simply asked if those existed. I DID NOT ask when will the devs update the official mod.. There is a difference.. I have been on XDA long enough to know what to say and not to say.

Anyway If anyone was offended by my question..that was not my intention..I respect the devs for doing what they are doing, I have tried to do such stuff and know how difficult it is..Peace out ☮️

[Android Apps and Games] Smantanasiceapa:
Why is telling me that the pack may be corrupted?
[Android Apps and Games] albi7894:
I've just followed this..

How to install Using Magisk Module Method ?

1. Download the official iYTBP Vanced Universal Installer and iYTBP_use_this_settings.sh

2. Download the YouTube Vanced apk and make sure file name stays the same.

3. Either put the apk inside the iYTBP Vanced Universal Installer or in the /sdcard/Download/ folder

4. Uninstall any YouTube updates that you have installed and disable auto-update for YouTube via playstore (if YouTube is user app, uninstall it completely)

5. Download settings file from mediafire mirror or extract it from zip (config_files folder) and put it into /sdcard or /sdcard/download folder on your phone

6. Open the iYTBP_use_this_settings.sh file and set MAGINSTALL="YES"

7. [OPTIONAL] Set DETACH="YES" to detach Youtube from playstore to disable update notifications

8. Flash the iYTBP Vanced Universal Installer in TWRP recovery (recommended) or else install it via Magisk Manager.

9. Reboot!

By the way, it is only me or I hear lower volume in headphone?

Sry for double post, i didn't knew how to delete my previos post.

So i read again the instructions...i've put the right apk in the flashable zip, flashed the zip, and still no youtube. I haven't got any youtube app installed before I flashed the zip. Where I did wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] shivamgupta1996:
Are there any issues with the vanced apk on androif 8.1 (lineage OS)? I installed it according to the post 2 Non-magisk root method and followed each step.

But then, on opening youtube app, it just stucks on the youtube logo (startup) and then force closes after some time. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
Don't put the apk in the zip. Just leave it next to it in download folder.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You can follow same procedure but with new APK and make sure you have the newest installer zip. Or you can uninstall it and install from magisk manager repo (in download section in magisk manager).

I have an LG G3 D852 running KitKat 4.4.2. I tried to install the Root version (I am rooted and have TWRP), Vanced apk, but it doesn't work. Here's what I did:

- Disabled the system Youtube app and deleted updates.

- Downloaded the armv7 version vanced apk

- Downloaded Universal Installer 2.8

- Placed both files in the Download folder

- Flashed the Universal installer zip in TWRP

Now, TWRP simply installs the zip, says partition updated, and finishes by saying done. When I reboot into Kitkat, I can't see Youtube installed in the app drawer. What am I doing wrong?

I am getting a very similar message as #7661 above me:

2. video plyer like skip gesture!

okay thanks for the great app!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I don't think the installer works perfectly on KitKat. It sometimes does, but not always. Use the manual method. The instructions for that are in post 2. It's pretty easy.

Edit:

But first, don't disable yt. You may just need to re enable it. They have the same package name. Before trying anything else just re enable YouTube system app and it might show up
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Same error I think … files have to be in '/sdcard/Downloads/', not in '/sdcard/Downloads/iYTBP/' or '/sdcard/S7/iYTBP/'.

I moved mine to just Downloads, doesn't work either.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Tried and rebooted, doesn't work either. It just uses the stock Youtube. I'm not sure why the vanced one doesn't show up in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Either try manual method (place APK in system/app and set permissions) or leave it enabled and run installer again. You're not supposed to disable yt. Some ppl do that in troubleshooting when all else fails, but initially just flash installer. I never have to disable anything. I just flash the installer and it does everything correctly.

And as stated, both files in download folder on internal storage.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Looks like you unzipped it and didn't rezip it right. You can't just re zip the folder, you'll get double folders. You just zip the files. Select all the files and compress them, not the folder iYTBP.

Looks like same error for [MENTION=4970374]portage[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] portage:
Thanks for the help but it's no use. Installer definitely doesn't work for me. The manual way isn't working either:

I copied the alldpi vanced apk to system/app and renamed to Youtube.apk because there's no option for 640 DPI. Permissions were set automatically to 644. I restarted the phone and tried to open YouTube but it just crashes upon load.

The rootless version works for me but I wanted to go rooted so I can avoid installing MicroG
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Do you have the right arch? (Arm or armv8 64) and API level?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
As a matter of fact, I do! At least a little. Thank you for the video, that did make it very clear and to me it looks like you're doing everything correctly. I've just did some searching and apparently it's a known issue:

So if this functionality is paramount to you, you must root your device and use the root version.

[MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] Perhaps you can elaborate on why this happens? My guess would be that Big G won't accept the different package name of non-root and therefore doesn't open YT links within Chrome in the "nonconform" iYTBP.

I believe so. I ran Droid Info and it told me CPU is arm v7. I didn't see x86 or x64 anywhere, so I assume it's neither of those. The front page said API for Android 4.4.2 should me API16. DPI on my phone is 640, but this app doesn't have that, so I selected allDPI to be safe.
