If you're scared, just use the non root version. It doesn't need to be system app.

To come to an open community of developers and call their work crap, in their own thread. Why would you even become a member of an open source developers community?

Troll much?
[Android Apps and Games] enzzo28:
Yep, it's possible that YouTube has launched a new update, making the modified one not the last version.

[Android Apps and Games] Safal Oraon:
there's a different way or alternate way which I do i.e, Just download the modified app .apk then create a folder (name of fodder be anything) inside system/app grant this folder the SAME READ, WRITE & EXECUTE PERMISSION as the other folders inside system/app directory, then copy or move the modded apk to that folder and provide the SAME READ, WRITE & EXECUTE PERMISSION to the apk as the other apks have in the system/app/(other app's apk).

JUST REBOOT YOUR PHONE, ALL DONE. (NO NEED TO FLASH ANYTHING)

Youtube Download Button Ideas

I am in the US and the Download option is just giving the Youtube Red trial pop-up.

I thought this allows to download as MP3/MP4/AAC...

Well, tat would just be dream-like.

Especially if we can set the specific SD card folder that it downloads to.

Or maybe have the Download button point to a 3rd party Youtube downloader?

Heyyy is there a youtube adaway? Cause the xposed module for adaway is dead... And i can't find a replacement....

Umm.. Have you read the OP or at least the thread title that you clicked here?

It does says 'removed ads'. Isn't that what you meant by adaway?
[Android Apps and Games] reggiexp:
Yes but this replace the original app. Im looking for a xposed module.

Unless this works good. I can try this. I wantrd to keep te original app. But i guess this is the only option now..

But i got no magics root. Just normal root.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
But you can keep the original app, just use the one that doesn't require root, 2nd post has it explained.

[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Too be honest I wouldnt use that color code at all. It is a basic theming mistake. The issue with it is that OEM can change how the bar looks. So at time you will always end up not being able to read the text. It is better to ref the base frameworks color coding. Hard coding colors is bad practice in android.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
The xml I showed there was just an example on what to change, the colors you want are up to you to choose.

The quantum_googblue500 is the color which YouTube uses in "almost" all blue places. I've changed that color to orange because I like it better with my own dark theme. And I want to be consistent with the colors so I chose it there as well. The background color I used (#333) is just something I picked up from the Internet when testing and it seemed to fit pretty well so I used it here, my plan was to find a good color from the colors.xml which I can change when I theme the other variants.

I'm not a themer so I don't know about the best practices in theming ;) I've pretty much only built apps without UI (xposed modules).

But I must say, I didn't fully understand what you mean with the "The issue with it is that OEM can change how the bar looks"? Didn't I just override the colors to be exactly what their hex ARGB representation is? I'm most likely missing something here so please elaborate me :) I mean, the @android:color/black for example is pulled from the framework, right? But @color/black is from the colors.xml? Isn't the latter one the same for all and the first one can vary depending on what the user has in the framework-res.apk?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Yes you did but OEM can alter how it displays. Perfect example is Samsung. You will notice that even though the colors are hard coded Samsung has ways to bypass it and make it use a different color. Also keep in mind the colors xml is more of a back up xml incaser the main setup fails. This is normally defined in the layouts of the apk.

The issue with using things like color/black is that OEM change that. You will see that in many devices. Heck I can name a few that have the color black with a hex setting of #ffffff
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
I don't really understand how can they change that. #ffffff is white, what is the point of changing that to black? Like, why would they do that? And even when they change that, can't they just change every color? No matter if I set it from the framework or not. Besides, the framework colors can vary. If I want it to be orange I can't set it from the framework because it might not be orange for all then either.

So all in all, I should just ignore if OEM changes the colors to be wrong. There is no way of fixing it as far as I can see?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
They do it because they want their setup to look a certain way. Plus they hire lazy coders. Heck at first samsung used color names like Color 1= #ffffff all the way to color 100. Many ref back to each other.

Yeah in the end you really cant control how it looks unless the person is on an aosp based rom. This is why so many people have issues with themed apps.
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
You don't need Magisk. There are options for every setup including yours. Read the 2nd post.

Seems to be a theming bug for your device. Android 4.x version of youtube app is PITA to theme and so those issues slip through. I'm guessing the non-themed version works fine?

Well... Stock version works fine. iYTBP non themed... I haven't tried it yet. Though, the themed version worked fine for some time, then it refused to sign up...

[Android Apps and Games] mario_foo:
is there any way to implement these features into TBOs youtube app ?
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
There is a way

Using substratum and swift black theme from playstore
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
These mods aren't theme-ready as far as I know, that wouldn't work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Who said?
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
Welp,,TBO YT is black themes already out of the box so we don't need any other themes like substratum..

And as far as I know,,only swift dark and swift black which support black/dark version of gapps without themes ready..

Oh,,and u need OMS ROM support too if u wanna use it,,
[Android Apps and Games] mbc663:
I'm using Swift Dark on Pure Nexus with no issues
[Android Apps and Games] Adomb:
Where is the new version?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I noticed that too when I dirty flashed a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
Well maybe Swift dark doesn't need theme-ready Gapps, maybe I know nothing... Thanks for info.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Yeah. Swift theme doesn't need theme ready
[Android Apps and Games] Tommydorns:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] mario_foo:
How.
[Android Apps and Games] Tommydorns:
Decompile regular app and modded app same version number . Use a Windows app called diffmerge, diffmerge the smali folder from each YouTube to find the difference. There is some smali files from modded Youtube. Copy those files, decompile TBO YouTube, copy smali files and replace. Compile TBO YouTube and make sure you include android manifest file and META-INF folders from unmodded TBO that is the signature for the app. Put those back in the zip file and flash. If you do not of know how to compile and decompile with apktool research. Good luck important make sure all 3 apks are the exact same version number.

Are you using non root version ? If not, try it , along with microg
[Android Apps and Games] Debanka:
Firstly,my apologies if this has been asked before, I didn't go through many posts.

I have downloaded this version ' iYTBP+12.31.53v+arm64+(nodpi)+-+RedBlack+-+Magisk' and have flashed it through recovery. It works well. However the download option is basically the regular YouTube downloading. So downloading is not supported globally?
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
You mean you didn't go through ANY posts... What is it with people who are too damn lazy to read the first page?
[Android Apps and Games] Bearthquake:
Read the first few posts. Then ask for help
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Yes, non root, along with microG I'm using indeed; but that's only because root version fails to be detected inside Download by iYTBP installer. The issue I have with non root, is it can't sign up...
[Android Apps and Games] Debanka:
Point me out exactly where in first page it is explicitly mentioned that whether offline downloading is in the native YouTube way or you can actually download the video in some transferable format.

If you want a war with words message me on telegram. I don't wish to spoil xda forums arguing with people who think that they are so morally high that they can call someone " too damn lazy" despite me asking the question with every bit of decency.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Why can't you sign up? Is there an error or what? If there is an error/crash, logcat could possibly help.
[Android Apps and Games] Debanka:
The same reply to you. Did you understand what I was meaning to ask?
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
In the first page where it tells you What's in, there is nothing about offline saving -> so it's the original youtube download.

I have no interest in fighting with you.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
yah yah i'm not a mod but i literally have to :)

very good u started nice an poilte :)

aha now u start to be angry and ask for war after 2 posts. pretty short line.

Along with black on black text for "share" option, I've noticed the "copy link" icon being also black on black in "Youtube_12.31.53-1231532300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)(grey-black-v2.10)-vanced-backgroundplayback", for Android 6.0.1 (Moto G4 Plus XT1641)
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
With you being on KitKat, there are going to be some issues. I know it's a bummer, but it is what it is.

You might have to use non themed.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

No fights necessary, this mod is original YouTube with ads removed and background playback enabled. For downloads, there are plenty of apps out there to accommodate that function.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
First, thanks Razerman for being available to help; but you know, I've been reporting this issue for about a week now, along with pics and logs (sent from the issued device) because developers ask for it, so all of that ignored info is there a few posts back. More recently, I've posted log screenshots about the issue as provided by "Cracker", a useful Xposed module because it goes straight to the point. I've tried both most recent iYTBP non root versions, and they both crash; rooted versions are out of the question since they're not even detected from Download path by iYTBP installer, so no install. I've tried manually, but the app's not showing... That said, I don't know why I can't sign up and yes, apps are crashing once you hit "sign up"...
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
I've already replied to that "Cracker" one. To me it seems like to be a theming issue which only happens on the older android versions. Could you try the non-themed version and see if it works? If it works -> theme is the problem. If it doesn't, there is something else but the current logcat doesn't provide enough information (at least for me to see any problems).

If it does crash with the non-themed version, please provide a logcat from that version too.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:
Yo maaann... Razerman is one of the modders here. It is shown in the iYTBP settings. At least show some respect.

[Android Apps and Games] Quacker245:

Really? So, why there's no thread about lucky patcher?

This in not one of these forums... This is XDA!
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Because it is banned as a Warez app. Which xda doesn't allow at all. This is an ad blocker just like the hundreds of others on the site. This one is just a targeted one.
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Don't know what you're looking for...you like the app use it, if not move on.

Lucky patcher is prohibited for cracking paid apps.

This just the official YouTube app without the nasty ads and some nice additions.

And if you're referring to YouTube RED,xposed modules and apps with those features already existed before YouTube Red,That's why they're allowed on xda.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
actually a known issue with the theming. this thing gets its color from the system framework (copy link is a system feature not YT) or better said the black icon is in the framework. problem is u do the background thing for YT

the background of this menu get's this bg color too but we can't change the icon because its "out of scope". laura and i did already search for a solution but its not possible to fix. that's a flaw which stays unfortunately for OOS users as it's the OOS framework on the OP5. others might not have that depending on their rom/system theme they use.

[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
First post:

F.A.G

Q: Why does this require root?

A: because YouTube, like many Google Apps, has a dedicated signature check that won't let this app run when installed as a user app. It needs to be installed in the system partition, which requires root

Of course you can install them as user apps if they are not modded because the signatures will be intact.

now to the bad news:

because of personal reasons [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] can't work on themed versions atm

and has to take a break for some time. she will for sure continue with her great work when it is

possible again. in the meantime you can use the available older themed versions and maybe (no promises) [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION]

and me (all strongly free time depending) will see what we can do to port over lauras work.

Difficult again with new version as stock theme changed again so basically it's starting from scratch again mpfh ;)

anyway... now i wish fun with it!
