ZaneZam LOVE YOU MAN

YouTube ain't **** without you! ?

Updated to your 12.23.60 mod and banging DnB playlist in the background now with full media control with my Bluetooth headphones, hell yeah! ?
[Android Apps and Games] AlexHamillton70:
Did you use the flash method or create a folder - file and give permissions ?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
If you are able, I would flash the zips. If you aren't able to flash them, but are rooted, I would still use the rooted zips, extract the apk, and install it manually as described in the OP. Unless Laura corrects me, I am going to go out on a limb and say that the files she just shared for non-root users are just that - meant only for those who cannot use the regular rooted versions. I hope that's more helpful.

Laura, if I have misspoken, feel free to correct me!
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
I use his Arter modded recovery installer. Good to use when updating the ROM with lineage updater, just add it to the zip que.
[Android Apps and Games] AlexHamillton70:
Guys thank you both for your answers.

Mates [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] , [MENTION=7606324]Ragnar Eldur[/MENTION] I'm rooted and I can always flash the flashable zip via Twrp.

As a matter of fact I did it in the past with success.

Unfortunately in that last version had some problems that hindered me from using the flashable zip.

[MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] if my memory serves me well in the Op there's the system file creation method and the adb method.

Can't remember the extraction method from the moded apk file but of course since you suggest this I might have misread it.

Anyway I've just recreated the folder, copied the file and gave permissions to both folder and file and rebooted.

Success!!!

Really appreciate your help

Kind regards to both of you ???
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Yes it does

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 AM ----------

Both versions are exactly the same.

You can choose anyone you like.

Non rooted version is easier to install & update and no reboot is needed. But the catch is, as it's package name is different, substratum won't recognise it.

---------- Post added at 04:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

Non root version was created not only for people with non rooted phones but also for people who can't seem to know how to install a app as system app and also for some of us who like is keep it simple by just tapping on it and installing as user app.

This non root version will also fix the unwanted updating by playstore as playstore won't recognise my package name and signature.

This non root version can also be used on devices which doesn't have a Google play services. (I haven't tested that yet)
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
Ty Laura,,work great..

No ads on home UI and videos so far,,login work too..

Tho substratum theme didn't work because of different package name..

And u can't install it if u already had YT installed,,even though ur version got different packages name..

Edit:

I enable my magisk iYTBP and ur YT version still work even tho I can't install it when YT magisk version is active..

the xml parts (credits and thx again!) of the recent mod (as stated in her post) therefore i included

that update and re-did all files. this should fix now UI placed ads (confirmed as i had some) which leaked in prev version.

[Android Apps and Games] Lownita:
It finally happened for me. Since 12.23.60 I'm seeing unskipable ads for the very first time. In pretty sure this started today, since I was using that version for quite a few days already. Same happens with today's reupload. Damn.
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
History syncing working fine here. Any chance you're using an Adblock on your phone or via your router? If yes then you may need to whitelist s.youtube.com to get history to sync. That's what I had to do a while back and sync worked fine since then.

Does anyone have a way to permanently detach this YouTube app from the play store (so YouTube updates don't show)? Titanium backup can do it but it doesn't stick after reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
Hey[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]

my friends who use Samsung galaxy s8+ told me the yt apks don't stretch on their screen as the version that do they download through the play store.

I guess it's sort of option to fit the whole screen without black bars at top and bottom ( i haven't seen it physical by my eyes so no clue).

If anything is needed feel free x) I'll answer as soon as possible!

have a nice day!

I get NO ads in videos and when using the app in portrait mode I get no ads whilst scrolling through the video list. However if I use the app in landscape I get ads in the video list.

Hope that helps!

My mates are running rootless version, I have got 2 screenshots from my friend and i brought by myself 2 screenshots from unbox therapy showing the difference when its stretched or not.

Everything works. Is there a way for the microg app that is used for Ogyoutube to work for iYTBP. Or can the iytbp microg work with Ogyoutube?

And can someone make a dark black mode please
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
They are all unrooted so I guess it's related to package name as it's different in rootless mode so the system doesn't detect it as normal yt apk.

If we can find s8+ rooted user here might help...

Needs testing
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
This might be a stupid question, but it's not obvious for me and i'm sure many people have the same doubt.

Does this version requiere a custom recovery or custom rom to work or can it be installed on a stock phone that has just come out of the factory?

[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Woah, had I known there was such demand for rootless version, I would have shared my information sooner.

My version of MicroG should work with OGYoutube, my YT version and iYTBP version.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0kAN8AKZCGjbks2S1Jkalp2Q0E?usp=sharing

Or one possibility is that the YouTube apk for S8+ is different, like they do supply so many different versions? Maybe you can pull the original APK from S8+ and upload it somewhere?

It works on a stock phone that has just came out from the factory :)
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
[MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION]

The default ones which require root/magisk have the same package name of the actual official YT while the rootless one contains a different name.

As you got it working with the "official package name" then i assume that the s8+ checks the package name to detect whenever its YouTube or not and simulate this feature?

Even tho if there is pre-installed YT it will need root so i consider it just a limitations

have a nice day! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
First of all, what is that weird dots on the bottom of the screen ?

A full screen button is not present in the YouTube app itself. So, I guess the ROM has to detect YouTube app which cannot be done because we changed the package name in order for it to install on stock non-rooted phones which comes with pre-installed YouTube app as system app.

Could you please try enabling Settings -> Display -> Full Screen Apps -> YouTube ?

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

Done!

'microG for iYTBP' is updated to support iYTB as well as OGYouTube. (Please wait for [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] to upload it)

Now as for dark theme, I'm afraid I'm not good at theming but still I will give it a try. (no promise)

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

No need of custom recovery or custom rom.

It can be installed on any phone. Just tap on the apk and install it just like you install any other apk.

Make sure to install microG for iYTBP too or else you won't be able to login.

I tried this version on my rooted Nexus 5, running DarkRom, based on Lineage, and it worked great, tried it on my rooted moto E (condor) running lineage and it worked great as well.

A friend of mine tried it on his stock sony m4 aqua and worked perfect, but two other friend, one on a stock moto E2 and the other on a stock moto g4, got force close after logging in. They both installed the microG apk from todays update. The app worked well before logging in.

Any thoughts on this? It's interesting that the two that fc were stock motorolas.

Any one else tried it on a stock motorola?

Ps: they were all extremely thankful to be able to play yt in the background even if not loged in. Thank you for your hard work!!

Edit: I tried it on my brother's stock OnePlus 3 and it worked perfectly, so the problem seems to be with stock motorola firmware.

Install correct dpi
[Android Apps and Games] SpasilliumNexus:
I'm just curious, but why not just modify the nodpi versions of ARM, ARM64, x86, and x86_64, instead of all of them for rooted users?

I would assume modifying all of them takes a lot of time to do.

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
PlayStore will show update to correct dpi version even if we are on the same version number.

An accidental update will wipe the mod.
[Android Apps and Games] SpasilliumNexus:
It shouldn't though. Once you modify an app or re-sign an app, it breaks the original signature, and in turn, won't auto-update nor show an update in the Play Store.

An unmodified nodpi app with dpi variants however will auto-update or show an update available.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Who told you we have resigned rooted versions with new signature ?
[Android Apps and Games] SpasilliumNexus:
No one told me. I'm not rooted and am wondering about those versions. Why not re-sign them with a unique key so the updates stop appearing in the Play Store? Would doing that break anything in the app?

and yeah you are right i have done tests with them this feature is related to system detection of youtube and as we used different package name no chance for it sort of limiation, they are satified with it and yeah they can use the pre-installed one for stretching the screen!

thanks for your time laura!

have a nice day :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
yes because that breaks the app (not only signing in is affected, it does just force close) google services checks signature of app and if they don't like what they see it "shoots the app".

hence u need another backend like mcroG service for using another app signature and that includes greater changes in the YT app itself to work with microG but then right if u are using

that YT app-microg combination no update notification will ever come frome playstore anymore ;)

If the weird dots was a bug, then it would have cost me hours of my time fixing that especially when I don't have S8+ to test. I am glad it's not a bug.

When using a non-root version of iYBP, you don't have to disable pre-installed YouTube app. you can use both apps alongside each other.
