Hi,

I have been having trouble getting this to work. I followed this instructions:

Download "MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip" (NOTE: only for Android 4.4+. if u are using older systems u have to install manually)

Download any of the provided apks for example "Youtube_12.27.53-1227532300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk" and make sure

it's the only file with that name (not with a ...(1).apk addendum because script doesn't see it anymore then) and don't put multiple versions into download folder as then

only the alphabetical last one get's installed.

Boot into your recovery and flash "MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip" -> everything gets installed

boot into system. done!

Yet it just does not work. I tried remove original youtube beforehand (delete whole directory YouTube from \system\app) then flash "MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip" from TWRP with only one Youtube file: Youtube_12.29.56-1229563400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(grey-black-2.6)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk, after reboot there is an icon youtube, but when I launch it, it closes immediately (I'd say won't open at all). In \system\app there are now 3 directories: youtube! YouTube! and YouTube, none of them has apk in it...

What did I do wrong? My device is OnePlus 5.

New version still has ads on Arm64 version nodpi for root.
[Android Apps and Games] Chrisaa63:
There's a magisk module that allows you to do this? Works fine.

Hello, i am using these apps for a while and they working properly, however I installed last version v12.29.56 vanced and new layout is missing, is there anything I can do?
[Android Apps and Games] dr3am_r:
Hi, I am also using latest iYTBP_12.27.53-1227533400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)-adaway.apk version and ads are not removed. Has Google found a way to fix the patch by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] ?
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Use the version from the second post
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Grander do you mean the themed version? Because I have substratum so think it has issues for me. Latest mod ads are back for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Not specifically themed, I mean the vanced version hosted on AFH. The themed app is based on vanced, though.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Everyone here reporting about ads. Go to the second post of this thread and read the whole post and then give a really good thought about it. Especially the part "Reporting bugs".

Why would we bother fixing something for you if you won't bother giving us EVEN the simplest information about the problem. We do the hard work and expect nothing in return, still you come here and say "ads are back" without even trying to help in removing them. And since we don't have these ads, how do you think we can start troubleshooting them?

From now on I will just ignore the reports that have no contribution in solving the problem and I'm pretty sure others working on this will too, it's just a waste of time for us.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I and [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] will also 100% ignore the bug report which doesn't meet the criteria posted in the 2nd post.

If you can't properly post a bug report, then don't even bother posting about it.

PS: If you are posting like "ads are back", "not working", "can't install package corrupted error" et cetera, I will probably laugh at you and make fun of you.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
After reading the 2nd post vanced version it's working without ads! Apologies
[Android Apps and Games] robert1337:
[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] holy Sh*t this works perfect on my device! No more ads!

but the only thing missing is the default quality option. It always keeps playing on 144p on my device I have to switch it manually.

Since yourtube+ is not updated anymore can you implement this? Thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Tommydorns:
Hey guys, I am at work so I don't have much time to provide more information. Will provide logcat ect

..when I get home. When I go to cast to my TV. App crashes. I want to make sure it isn't something on my end first or something I themed breaking it. I was using black and gray (no dpi) latest arm 64 version. I also made some changes to the theme so I want to make sure it's not that first. Could someone test chrome cast?
[Android Apps and Games] nvrmndryo:
I have downloaded both the files mentioned in 2nd post but I am kind of confused how to install those files?

I have installed previous YouTube mod file as systems app. So in this new mod, I understand that I have to flash. Zip file through recovery but should I put new apk file to system/app location?
[Android Apps and Games] Arerive:
i still install new mod youtube like move it to system/app like u say and it looking fine with me.
[Android Apps and Games] daddylonglegs:

I'm running 12.29.56-vanced arm64 (RedBlack) and tested casting to a Chromecast, Nexus Player and MiBox with no crashing. Just to be sure I've tried the GreyBlack and NonThemed versions and no crashes there either.

I am using chromecast and my tv for external play and got some ads.

I know yoi said it could happen.

But its just for you to know

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nvrmndryo:
Moved to system/app and flashed zip working fine, I'll test tonight
[Android Apps and Games] mauley:
Ads are back for me also. Using latest version from OP and have also tried the version from the 2nd post.

Ads are also unskippable.
[Android Apps and Games] Arerive:
im not flash anything. just install like that
[Android Apps and Games] christboanerges:
no version for api16 arm ?
[Android Apps and Games] Hellren:
Hi,

Since flashing mod does not work for me, could someone write how to install it manually, please? I would really appreciate it. Is it necessary to delete old version of youtube before? Thank you ?

P. S. I tried to read through this topic, but haven't found anything useful.
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
External devices like Chromecast or Roku use their own internal YouTube app. Your phone just tells it what video to pull up, so it will still have ads.

My trick is to stop casting and re-cast each new video, because it never plays ads on the first casted video.
[Android Apps and Games] bertino:
Did you read the op? :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
If you want to help stop ads see Reporting Bugs Post#2

The only api16 version available on APKmirror is x86. If it's not on APKmirror then it won't be available here.

Download the latest version 12.29.56-vanced from Post#2 then see manual install steps in Post#1
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you moved to system/app, no need to flash anything.

If you choose flash method, just download the APK into download folder and download vanced installer. Boot to recovery and flash installer. It finds the APK and installs it
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
I believe you can make minAPI16 nodpi version of arm by downloading the Youtube_12.29.56-1229562700_minAPI16(x86)(nodpi)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk and Youtube_12.29.56-1229563300_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk. Then take out the libraries from armeabi-v7a and put them in the x86 one (delete the x86 libraries).

I haven't tested this but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If it doesn't, someone please tell me why it won't :P

I made one for testing, if someone wants to test (root version): Youtube_12.29.56-1229572300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk
[Android Apps and Games] pcroland:
Hi!

I installed "Youtube_12.29.56-1229563400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(red-black-v2.6)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk" with "MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip" and this is what happens when I try to open YouTube: Link

What can I do in order to get it work?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
You can disable substratum, clear YouTube data and restart
[Android Apps and Games] pcroland:
Thank you very much :D I would have never thought that Substratum causing the problem :D
[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:
Red-Black and Grey-Black versions have missing video titles in the home tab, other tabs are fine. The titles are just blank, only emojis show up. I tried another google account and it was fixed, but for the account I want to use it's broken. I'm using the 12.29.56 arm64 version on nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] thereassaad:
Or simply uninstall the YouTube overlay from substratum then force close the YouTube then he can open it without fc ...?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
That's exactly what I meant by disabling substratum.

Substratum also has a fail safe mode in which any app FC multiple times while opening, it will automatically disable any installed overlays for the same.

If he did tried to open YouTube multiple times, it should have taken care of automatically, that's why I was suspicious and had to suggest clearing data & a reboot. Just in case disabling overlays wasn't enough.

Side note: FC would also happen if you install another arch version other than your CPU's. So I also had that in my mind. If the above said wasn't enough, I would have suggested him to double check his CPU arch and the arch version he had installed.

[Android Apps and Games] xocomaox:
The whole idea around Magisk is to not modify system but make your system modifications in the magisk folder on root.

TWRP is the best method I know of, and I typically install YT and then boot into recovery and replace the file, change the permissions (chmod 0644) and reboot. Works every time.

I'm still running the older version without ads and will upgrade when it stops working. I guess. Thanks for all the support here!
[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:

Does the nonroot version works on kitkat? On my Kindle hdx (nonrooted, fireos based on 4.4) it closes without any error if I try to login. MicroG 0.24.81 ist installed, I tried YouTube_v12.27.53(minAPI16-nodpi-noarch-nonroot-v1.2)(red-black-v2.3)-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk, because it is the newest version with an arm api16 variant on apkmirror.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
You are on old layout. It will be fixed when your layout is updated to new.

Good.

Enjoy your ads.

[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:

[Android Apps and Games] cudi90:

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
It is a server update.

Have you tried force closing app and then opening ?
[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:
Yep, guess I'll just wait for the server update, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
You could try clearing the youtube data -> then starting youtube (it will now download the config) -> completely close (not just at the background) -> open the youtube again (it will now use the downloaded config) and it should have the new layout.

While I've been testing things, I've got stuck with the old layout and this procedure has given me the new layout again. Keep in mind that this resets all your youtube settings and data (same as uninstalling youtube) and there is still a chance that it will not give you the new layout.
[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:
That actually worked, but I still have no titles. I do have titles in landscape mode though.

[Android Apps and Games] shegeloaf:
Thank you so much zane zane and the developers for an excellent mod. I love the themed versions. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
That's really strange. No one had ever reported that.

And another strange part is that the 3 dot menu should on the line where the title is. But in your screenshot it is on the channel name line.

There is really something strange going on in there.

Which phone and rom do you have ?

Do you use substratum ?

Title text color is pulled from your android framework which is

@android:color/white
[Android Apps and Games] pcroland:
I had the same issue with Gmail, I installed an older version because I didn't know what causing the problem. But reinstalling the overlay also solved the Gmail problem. Where's that fail safe mode in substratum? :D I did not find it.
[Android Apps and Games] dbufsido:
Im using an Honor 8 with the stock rom, I don't even know what substratum is so I guess I don't use it
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
Using newest Grey Black version and as usual it is working flawlessly. No issues to report but I did just want to give a big thank you to devs for all their hard work on this project.

Hi guys, am still getting video ads, layout ads seem to be gone though (OnePlus 3t 7.1.1)

- I removed YouTube completely via root explorer

- Installed the apk via the described method in the OP, but when I reboot YouTube isnt in the app draw at all.

- flashed Zams .zip script from recovery and it's gets youtube to show in the app draw, but still have video ads.

- also have the latest Magisk module installed too.

See all attachments

Anyone have any suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
There is a newer version. Try that one out and see of it helps
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
I've installed the latest (12.29.56) API21, arm, 480 version and now i've got an update on the playstore for version 12.29.57

Aren't the updates supposed to disappear when using a specific dpi version?

It's not much of a big deal for me, but i was using the nodpi version and decided to try the 480 one to see if it would remove the updates.
[Android Apps and Games] kro0wz:

[Android Apps and Games] Vivasanti:

[Android Apps and Games] oux:

[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
Not necessarily as you can see. Just ignore it or use Titanium Backup's "Detach from Market" feature from time to time. Everytime someone at Google sneezes, a new YT update appears.
[Android Apps and Games] dillalade:
Flashes latest arm 64 magisk module over my.previous one.

Great work people.

Few questions, forgive me...

Is there anyway to preset the playback quality to 1080p or am I forced to change the quality from 360p every time? I know this is how YouTube normally functions but was curious if there was anything you guys baked in or is it all uncontrollable server side?

Is there a way to download YouTube videos at all?

Asking out of curiosity as I've read the term download in this thread from time to time, maybe I'm confused.

Is it possible to apply a theme to these magisk versions (no substratum doesn't work on my Sony stock XZ)?

Be nice to have the black look and feel if possible in anyway.

Thanks in advance

And again, a super thank you for an invaluable mod :good:
[Android Apps and Games] JuubiV1:
When using Force VP9 Codec and trying to watch any 1080p 60 FPS video it lags AF..

I have LG G2, is it because my device is pretty old?

On older version 1080p 60fps videos was working without any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] oux:
if u can download for offline use on regular yt app I should be able to do so in this one too. and there are themed versions for u to download if substratum doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] dillalade:
I do t think I was ever aware we could download for offline on the regular YT app....

Is there a possibility of getting a Grey Black arm64 version of the latest magisk please.

Again substratum doesn't work on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] oux:
I didn't know that either before this thread. and my bad about Magisk themed version,I thought it was available
[Android Apps and Games] Lownita:
The update would disappear if you had the latest version installed, which you haven't.
[Android Apps and Games] booci:
To be clear: if you install the latest nodpi version, you will get update notification in the playstore, because the dpi specific version (for example 480 dpi) has priority over the nodpi version.

If you install the latest dpi specific version, you won't get any updates in the playstore.

You got an update because 12.29.56 is not the latest version anymore, since 12.29.57 came out.

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I know exactly what you can do to remove ads. But I won't tell you. I bet no one will. That information is top secret and heavily guarded with military level encryption. It is hidden deep in this thread but I am pretty sure you won't be able to find it at all. And don't mind reading the OP and 2nd post because obviously those are the most useless & bs post in ANY thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Well that's because the OP and the 2nd post is coded and only can be decoded by the same top secret military level decryption....

Thanks for this post, most times I feel like hanging watching YouTube ads without skip! I've tried everything in my RR 7.1.2 But the ads keeps coming back even after installing modified apk as system app.

Well I, uninstalled the old YouTube, flashed the Magisk zip reboot. Then cleared data in Google play services and play store rebooted the phone and just like that no ads since then.

Of course, I kept a backup of the apk incase Google play services finds a way of returning the adds through update or app auto update, I'll repeat the same process again.

Hope it this helps another person...
[Android Apps and Games] Dashwood Foxe:
I figured the ads are going through because of the code based on wanams' original YouTube adaway Xposed module have been circumvented, I know this because I recently downgraded my Shield tablet back to marshmallow and installed Xposed, the original module did seem to block ads until recently I started to see them again. :(
