Everything seems to be fine on my HTC 10..IN fact, I had the original one that needed to be pushed into the spot of the stock one and fix the permissions.. then earlier today I straight installed the black and white themed version and BOTH are working incredibly well.. the no root black themed one works better than the one pushed into the system/YouTube folder. Then I found a GREAT 3rd party YouTube Downloader app by Dentex and it can convert the video regardless of the upload format! I got lucky with the Magisk and the dialed in MicroG.. so I can go split screen and run both apps at the same time! I really appreciate the work everyone is doing. If you get stuck, PM me because XDA isn't as friendly and patient to those trying to learn like they used to be.. anyhow, if you need help PM me and I will get you that YouTune Downloader app link at well.. I have tried probably 50 of them and this one is FLAWLESS!
[Android Apps and Games] Cryptic Head:
Yes please! I'd be really grateful to you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Installation through apk sends error "Application not installed"... Through Magisk it makes all my other modules disappear after reboot...

Any solution or alternative?
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Done
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
I'm on HTC 10 Oreo (PureFusion) and the system folder version is working fine. Picture-in-picture works well too but I'm open to suggestions in trying a different setup. Shoot me a PM.

[Android Apps and Games] shivam0909:
First of all thanks a lot for this awesome app. I don't know why YouTube Adaway module was not working. But this saved my life. I just wanted to ask you guys something. First of all I removed all the modules I had in xposed related to YouTube. Then in the Magisk Manager app I downloaded 'injected YouTube Playback Vanced - black themed Magisk Repo v12.42.59'. Then I installed the module via Magisk Manager and then did a reboot. After that I disabled the YouTube app which was not the stock one and then enabled it again. The YouTube app started working as the awesome developers intended it to. I just want to know that is the way I installed it correct? If yes, how do I update the YouTube app? As I have the nodpi version I can see the update button in the play store as stated in the OP. So do I have to download the app via Apkmirror? And if the app is updated, do I have to update the module too? I have read the OP but I'm bit confused.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you installed it through magisk manager app, that's where you update from, it's in the magisk repo. This is not Xposed, it doesn't work the same. The magisk module has a complete modded YouTube app in it. Do not update in playstore. Your original system YouTube is not being used at all.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsubway:
Is this still being developed? I haven't seen the latest version yet. Great job on this mod!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Yes it is.
[Android Apps and Games] shivam0909:
But it didn't had the modded youtube app. I had to disable and enable the app which I had downloaded a while ago from playstore
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That's a glitch that happens with some phones. Magisk replaces your system app with the modded one from magisk. Look in magisk/ in your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] shivam0909:
Thanks a lot man. I uinstalled every possible version of YouTube from the phone then I unistalled the module, did a reboot, installed only the module, did a reboot and it worked. Thanks man. Also how do I enable picture in picture mode?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Picture in picture only works on oreo. But here is where you'll find the modded app in your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] shivam0909:
Thanks man
[Android Apps and Games] Promers:
Thank you for sharing! I'm exploring the non-root version, but my Watch History/playback position isn't remembered, even though I've enabled watch history on the original YouTube app. If I understood correctly, does the Watch History not work if your Channel is on your Brand account instead of your Google account?

I use Galaxy S8 with Android 7.0.

If you would like to report bugs in this thread, there is a proper way of doing so

Reporting Bugs:

We ONLY can accept any reports if u do following:

Using the most recent version

Describe the problem as good as possible (especially with ads for example: what kind of ads, vid or layout?, when and where are they appearing ?)

If possible add screenshots of the problem and even better add a logcat which was taken during the problem

Add screenshot of the YouTube settings screen (MUST)

If it's a theme related bug, providing screenshot of bug, android version, and details of ROM & OEM is a MUST

if any of these points are missing we will ignore the report as we have no time to investigate further any of these infos. thx for trying to hold on to these points
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's all in the 2nd post. If you're using non root version, YOU NEED MICRO G.

[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Well now I am interested in what you are running and how you set it up!

I am just running the unlocked developer edtion stock ROM with Magisk systemless root. I have a modified apk and I used ES File Explorer to push the modified YouTube apk to overwrite the existing stock version in the syatem/app/YouTube folder and set the permissions... then I installed the MicroG app and straight installed the red and black themed modified to play in the background, no ads version. so I currently have both installed and I can sign in to either one. Please tell me how you did your setup because I am jonesing to try something new! Here's a great app I found that is basically near impossible to find. It is a great YouTube Downloader app. It converts files uploaded under different formats and you can choose the resolution of the download you want.. just allow unknown install in settings.. you'll love it. Please get back to me with your setup. Thanks, John

Awesome
[Android Apps and Games] kamor:
Probably a stupid question but couldn't you get in trouble with Google using this?
[Android Apps and Games] kamor:
Care to elaborate? Isn't it a modified version with Red features unlocked? Don't get me wrong here. I think this is an awesome thing, I'm just a bit scared about my Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's just ad free (you don't have to accept ads) and background play. It's not the same as red. No need to worry bud. Enjoy the ad-free experience.

And we try not to use the g word, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] kamor:
Ok, thanks m8!
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
I'll try your app later. I just downloaded the noAPI version in the original thread and dropped it into the system folder with permissions.

After flashing the IYTBP Youtube i lost youtube i dont have it anymore in my apps. I used the root version . I might have forgotten to reanable the youtube before flashing the modded one. could that be the problem? If so any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
I really dont know what Im doing wrong. Downloaded file, renamed, pasted in app/system/youtube folder, setip permission and STILL HAVE AD's. I mean all ads possible :(
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:

[Android Apps and Games] Eddygraphic:
Is there any way to update to YouTube 12.43.52? The official version of YouTube now supports bundle notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Of course there is a way: wait with patience for the devs to release it.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Just sit tight. The last few updates of official YouTube actually removed some features, so those were skipped. Now some may be getting useful. They will update when features, time and life allow. Remember they do this simply for the joy of it. No one made you pay for it or anything. Let's all try not to suck the pure joy out of this for the generous people that mod it for us.

It is good that you pointed out features that are enticing for you, but they will do it when it appeals to them. Maybe if you choose your words a little better, it might not sound so... Ya know. We just don't want to pester them into feeling like it's not fun anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] Eddygraphic:
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Api of this new version contains probably a lot of major changes. It's probably the main reason of a late release.

It's passing safety net checks in the Play Store, which is why it's good to detach it from market so there's no updating. In other words, Google sees it as stock. They're too busy taking 14 year olds to court for God Forbid posting a 5 second clip of a copyrighted song.
[Android Apps and Games] martinklaus:
You already find out the problem, Google changed the notification and devs need to find out if it's possible to integrate background Playpack controls.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
The mod is working just fine, it's the theme that is causing problems. Especially now that Laura can't really do it without a PC and even with a PC, it's a PITA thing to do. But let's hope the update is uploaded soon.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You didn't. Don't take it the wrong way. Yours wasn't that bad. Just saying sit tight and it will come. The devs have updated so many times (some just to appease users update Jonez), they know each and every official update inside and out, intimately. They don't need to be prodded to update. Some updates are tougher than others, some aren't worth the effort. Just trust that they're on it, unless they say otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsubway:
Uninstall ANY YouTube you have. Just overwriting doesn't work. After any YouTube apps are gone, reboot. Manually create the YouTube folder in /system/app. Set folder permissions to 755. Take the Vanced YouTube apk, put it in that folder, rename to YouTube.apk, set the file permissions to 644. Reboot. Sweetness. I'm thinking there's probably a stray YouTube apk on your phone somewhere. Ideally you want YouTube to be gone from your apps list before doing this. I had the same issue and it was because I hadn't uninstalled an old version. Also, the reboots are ESSENTIAL. Delete ANY YouTube folders in /system/app and make sure you don't have a non-system version hanging around somewhere.

Hello all

My phone restarting after unlock phone when YouTube running in PIP mode.

It's is not random restart. My phone always restart when YouTube PIP is working when I unlock phone.

Phone: redmi note 3

Os: Android 8.0 ( nitrogen os)

How to fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] martinklaus:
Ok than the theme is not working. But the message is if that is a big optical change it mostly will break code or style of the mod. Hopefully the style part is not complicated. All bageds and special stuff are working on.last version.

thank you for your help.

Just wondering how to uninstall it. basically removed it manually from system/app folder.. is there any other optionto uninstall it? what do u mean non-system version?

That looks like regular youtube

Did you try the troubleshooting steps? In 2nd post. Disabling and re enabling, etc. It looks like it didn't install. If you truly removed all versions of original yt, it couldn't still be there, but it is. Re trace steps, you might be missing something.

The newest mod is older than the one in your screenshot. It's still in your phone somewhere (original).

Thx madbat for your help.

Maybe I just don't download right version.

Please update the APKs.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Please go away.

All dev are currently super busy with their life.

Btw, Current version is working perfectly fine.

Request like these are encouraging us to to close this project.

This project started as a fun hobby, now it's more like a pain in the ***.

It's not fun to keep up with google's update schedule.

When a project turns from fun to pain, devs will loose interest in it and that will be the end of development.

There is a reason why there is a NO ETA rule in xda which you agreed to when you joined this forum.

So, if you can do your part properly, we will do ours too.

After installation got no app

I used this method to install iYTBP

got a Sony XPERIA XZ Premium (G8141) with magisk and stock rom. Running on Oreo (8.0.0 - Build-Number 47.1.A5.51).

APK I used: YouTube_12.42.59-1242593440_miniAPI21(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)(black-v2.24)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk

After the installation I have the following modules:

- injected YouTube Background Playback - Vanced

- iYTBP-Detach

Did the whole process step by step, but however in the end I didnt have an app.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Helps if you download the correct APK. Based on the APK name, you have downloaded the non-root APK which is installed via package manager. Download the one from the ROOT-NOT-THEMED or ROOT-THEMED-BLACK.

Hi I am having problems sign in on my note 8. I downloaded the newest version of the non-rooted YouTube app installed it then I installed the microG app and still no option to sign in any help would be appreciated thanks in advance for anyone who can help

I downloaded the app over the Mediafire link form the first post.

cant post extern Links sry

Switched there to this folder: AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled->12.42.59->ROOT-THEMED-BLACK

and in this folder is the apk file "Youtube_12.42.59-1242593440_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)(black-v2.24)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk"

So I think this not the problem but thx for the advise.

Sometimes it's hidden for some reason.

Look in the settings, you will find it

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I some roms app won't show up.

Work around is to try the manual method and copy the apk to different folders like

/system/app/

/system/app/youtube/

/system/app/priv-app/

If non works, then you will have to resort to non root version
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Well the non-root versions have capital T in their YouTube part of the name and that's how you typed the APK name first so it suggests you downloaded the non-root. I didn't check any further because of that. If it doesn't work with the installer, you should try the manual installation method then.
[Android Apps and Games] alirz:
is this not supposed to block ads? chase I'm still getting ads in the latest non root version. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] 3marsiii:
thx, will try it out later

Sorry dont noticed the difference. In my first post I typed the filename manually (habit to type it YouTube), in the second its copy and paste.

Typical layer 8 failure (Human). :p

Thank you Laura deleted the youtube.apk under /system/app/youtube/ and copied the one that I downloaded, after that i did a reboot. Worked for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
Does this really even matter? I'm on Oreo and use the API21 minimum and it works perfectly fine.

Why do developers always let one or two people get them all upset. Just ignore the trolls and focus on those who appreciate what you do. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] tanujboy:
That's kind of rude. I just requested politely. You could've explained the reason without the unnecessary rudeness. It's not like I gave the devs an order (Which I have no authority to). I do understand that no independent dev is obliged to do everything that the users ask for. And I also didn't ask for an ETA.

Please understand the difference between a request and an order. I'd request you to reply politeness with politeness or simply don't.

Also, I do appreciate what you guys are doing and yes, the current APKs work perfectly fine.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Her answer was justified. You think they don't know when there is an update? You are the about the 200th person to say "update this". Just read through the thread. They have updated tons of times. Putting the word please in there doesn't make it any less demanding. Just sit tight and wait, and try not to drive developers away.

'Requested'

What do you think XDA is, a scene 'Requests' folder.... :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Josey Wales:
I'm kind of confused about updating iYTBP via Magisk Manager. . . I did but get "YouTube Keeps Stopping" can't open YouTube?

I updated with Magisk but iYTBP black theme still shows me still on 12.42.59, I think 12.44.52 is the lastest so. . .

Is the correct update method.

1. Uninstall 12.42.59 via Magisk and reboot.

2. Disable YouTube from app settings.

3. Flash downloaded iYTBP update .apk via Magisk and reboot.

4. Enable YouTube in app settings.

This is my first attempt to update iYTBP. . .
[Android Apps and Games] tanujboy:
Nobody who's been around on XDA for a while would think that a developer who's been making a mod for a certain app would not know that there's an update available for that app. That's plain stupid.

One might be the 1000th person requesting for the update but that doesn't mean that the developer should take all the frustration of the previous 999 out on him/her. I think the better approach to end this should be making a PA for the users to read altogether or perhaps, as the saying goes: Ignorance is bliss.

And no, you're wrong over there, I think politeness changes one's behavior towards your request really well. One would have better chances putting their request like "Please update the APKs." over saying "Update the ****ing APKs you lazy ass developers." Nobody who's done so much good deserves such rudeness.

I think that's one of the major points of building a community, i.e., if I'm not wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Dude just stop. They update when time, life, and other factors allow. They have consistently done so. I still don't understand what makes you think you have to tell them to update their mod? Or even ask them to. Try reading some of the thread and you can clearly see the history of updates, and their policy on updates.
[Android Apps and Games] lcrponte:
[MENTION=5419175]tanujboy[/MENTION] If you can't see a problem with "Please update the APKs." when all the other guys around do, just be quiet and stopping making a fool of yourself by trying to be right. Each and every post of yours next to it are just helping to dig you a deeper hole. Laura's answer was rude? Yeah, it was supposed to! You got served.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsubway:
Man. How can ANYONE ***** about a free app that the devs are doing ON THEIR OWN TIME FOR FREE? Everything on XDA is free and I've been a member for close to a decade. I've seen devs spend God knows how many hours working on apps, ROMS, hacked bootloaders, etc. All for free. Life happens. I can live with a little older version of YouTube right now. The HEIGHT of hubris! Most entitled, "me" generation in human history. SMH.
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
I know you didn't mean for it to be demanding, but it comes across that way. It would be like me saying, "Please shut up." - it's rude whether it's meant to be or not and adding please doesn't help. This site is littered with short posts asking for updates and so it comes across as entitled even if not intended.

You have to understand that those 1000 requests are annoying to developers as really there should have been 0 requests. Heck, my ungrateful kids ask me the same question only a few times before I lose it. The idea of this site is that developers work on stuff as they have time, put it out for free, and the members then test it to fix issues and make things better. A symbiotic relationship if you will. It's not for me to just take so I can make my phone the coolest. It's a hobby for almost all developers and so they get to things when their real life affords it. I've been a member of this site for five years and lurking longer and so I understand waiting for releases with anticipation. However, unless I'm willing to develop things myself, I can't really complain about the cool stuff other people do for me.

I've not cleaned up anything as no post really breaks the rules. However, let's all move on. I'm subscribing to the thread for now to make sure we stay on topic. Remember, we all have the same goal in mind since we're all Android enthusiasts so let's act that way. In the words of the great Bill and Ted:

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a PM. My door's always open (unless it's not).

Thanks,

coal686
