Yes, that's exactly what I remember. There's no real comparison between glitchy OG and flawless iYTBP in my opinion. However, the great thing about Android is many options are available.

arkTube is a Light Weight, Feature-Filled YouTube Audio and Video Downloader

Give it a try and you will love it ;)

[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Thanks for the recommendation. However, it seems very similar to YouTube Downloader but you must pay for some features which are free in YTD.

Some guy recently picked up development of OG I believe, he released V4.1. Didn't really see any new features tho. I would like the option to make the app load on subscriptions tho. For the rest this app is way better in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you mean the download feature that YouTube has built in, it has it already. If you mean a total downloader, they have answered that many times. Nope. It's easy to get that functionality on your own though.

And the root and non root versions have all the exact same features as each other so I was curious why you asked specifically about "non root version".
[Android Apps and Games] Anonaru:
Must be stupid :( When I try to install the Non-Root version, I get "Cannot install- this directory may be corrupt" or something like that. This is on Android 7, on a Samsung S8 SD835. Did I miss something super basic?
[Android Apps and Games] J_M_V_S:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] Anonaru:
Like..? Searching and following the directions didn't seem to help. If you know, why not just reveal instead of...well whatever you just did

Edit: restarting my phone a second time let me install it just fine. Daheq?

Just got my xz1.

Had no issues using rooted version of this on my xz.

Please let me know if you you've resolved this in xz1.

I really need this on my xz1

EDIT

Install micro g and I can now sign in.

BUT History is not populating.

Non Rooted, so no adblockers etc.

History has been working on my rooted xz iytbp install.

Any ideas how to get history to work on my non Rooted xz1?

[Android Apps and Games] dillalade:

[Android Apps and Games] James_Ward01:
History doesn't work because your account has 2 channels linked to it. Do a search in the thread to see how to resolve it.
[Android Apps and Games] Anonaru:
After some frustration getting a non-root version to work (Two restarts let me install it on my S8.. the first one apparently didn't count...what?), all I can say is holy crap is this awesome!

I swear, when switching from background play back to live / on-screen, it pops the video back in even quicker than the official YouTube app does! That custom Codec is just beautiful, the app seems rock solid, and everything's snappy! The dark theme looks beyond amazing on the S8's OLED, and was probably the main reason I switched over to this version of YT+Background play vs. the old player I was using

The other 24970140624 awesome features were a nice bonus, though! Just a huge kudos to the people who made this bit of awesome available to us Non-Rooted users :)

I run it on my minix neo u1 and u9-h with out ads and it fits the screen... Just install the non root version and microg and enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] AxlxA:
But the layout is mobile layout rather than the Android TV layout, which fits more into the screen and browses differently.

Can you take a pic of what it looks like on your box?
[Android Apps and Games] Cinyk:
Does anyone know if there's a way to have the original youtube app also installed at the same time? Because Cardboard/360/3d videos crash with this modded app :S

I love it and don't want to get rid of it but I got one of those cardboard viewers and would love to use it sometimes without having to uninstall this everytime.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I believe you can keep the original YouTube app if you install the non-root version of iYTBP thus giving you the best of both worlds.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Do you mind searching before claiming to have problems ? There is no issue playing 360 degree video and you would have known that if you searched before posting.

[Android Apps and Games] dillalade:
I read that. But history works fine on other rooted phone with iytbp?

So surely this isn't the issue

However after reading 3rd post. Then installing it.

Iytbp then allowed me to LOGIN

It does some magic, but what it actually does I cannot say.
[Android Apps and Games] James_Ward01:
It is because it only effects non root version. Obviously it's a limitation of microG. I had the same issue when I used OGYoutube

No but you can still theme the patched YT using regular theming methods like Substratum. Or you can ask TBO nicely :) maybe you can even mix it up yourself...

I'd love to try my hand at it myself if I had the time. Also since I'm on a 920T Note 5 I don't think Substratum works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Wow... that was faaast, Google! :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] 4Freedom:
Could you rename package name and sign it again?@Master_T

If yes, it will work without root, because it appears like a different app.

And you could keep both original youtube and this mode installed on same device.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
You're probably right. If I'm not mistaken, this is your device's rom list (I find Samsung model names very confusing). All L and M based on stock, go for a more developer friendly device next time =)

There is a signature checking mechanism.

So if the signature is changed, YouTube will crash with a Security Exception log.

Extra effort need to be put to triangulate signature verification class and to override it.

It's not as easy as you think..!!

So pumped! As of 12.37.54 my history is working again! Yaaayy! Thanks so much you guys, this is amazing. Don't have to bother with substratum, now feed is better too since it knows what I've watched. Only issue I've had off and on through the versions is sometimes after watching a video, it hangs returning to home/feed screen. Blank, trying to refresh. I just force close the app and it's back in business. Going to install latest today when I flash my new ROM and see if it persists, and if so try to grab screen record and logs. Thanks again!!

Ok what I did to fix 360 video crash youtube app

I had installed app manually through ES file explorer

Copied apk to /System/App/YouTube

Copied the extracted lib folder into /System/App/YouTube

It still did not work because I forgot that I needed to rename folder inside lib: arm64-v8a to arm64

/System/App/YouTube/lib/arm64-v8a becomes >>> /System/App/YouTube/lib/arm64

Then worked no problem

I was going through all downloads because I would've liked to give pip a go on my OnePlus One running Oreo but couldn't find it either. I guess 32 bit is just not worth the effort anymore?

root method
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Universal installer, or manual
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
If you'd actually read those posts, you might've noticed this line in the first:

"WARNING: THIS VERSION IS OBSOLETE!! Check the UNOFFICIAL DOWNLOADS below for the most current builds"

You may still be unaware of what this means so I'll kindly elaborate just for you!

The first post is the ghost of Christmas past, which explains what this is, why it's here and who made it so.

The second is the ghost of Christmas present, [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]'s continued support for newer versions with the aid of magical helping elves co-developers.

The third post is the ghost of Christmas rootless future, where root is no longer needed. Sustained by the great queen Amidala.. I mean, Laura Almeida, it opens up the path for hundreds of lost souls whom could not benefit before.

The fourth post holds the Magical Magisk Modules, they are forged in the depths of mount doom to provide an alternate universe ive to the traditional zip flashing.

Sorry, my fantasy got the better of me in some bits. Seriously, read them fully, they really makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] itsmedRb:

[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Use the universal installer. The manual method requires some libraries to be copied too.
[Android Apps and Games] Specialopsf:
Wow nice.
[Android Apps and Games] _Frostplexx_:
Thanks for your fairy tale explanation. But it was even more confusing than the ghost of Christmas the posts. But I studied read the posts a few more times until someone taught replied me and understood them somewhat. Thanks anyways for your fairy tale explanation.

[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Good to know that you got it working. But if you wanna install using the universal installer someday, add 'back' to the end of filename. Some browsers and download managers cut the filename.
[Android Apps and Games] MCFADONNA:

Apologies if this is a known issue, but just had a mare trying to install iytbp on HTC 10 root method using installer and unattach plz.

If there will be a official Oreo version for a v7a device maybe then there will be a official v7a minapi26 version of YouTube for it. For now I only see arm64 minapi26 versions on apkmirror. If there is no official version there will be no modded one.

Just by eyeballing the logcat, I would say it's an bug that shouldn't matter whether it's an armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a. And it works on my Nexus 5X so I would think it's an incompatibility with your device and youtube. I'll take a look at the source later though to see if I can spot what exactly is crashing it.

This was a known issue for Oreo pre-Oct. security build. The issue has been patched with the Oct. build.

Ok, positive then it's a ROM related due to security patch.

Thank you for clarifying. :good:

Edit: Weird is, using Chrome on PiP mode it's working with no issue at all. So i guess oct sec. patch has been addressed for YT specific issue aswell.
