Magisk Modules Updated to 12.32.59-vanced:

Original Mod updated 24 Aug. see Post#2.

Available Versions: All minAPI21 unless otherwise indicated (looking at you x86)

arm (nodpi) / (480) / (320)

arm64 (nodpi) / (480)

x86 (320) / minapi16 (nodpi)

x86_64 not yet available

Themed versions not yet available. If you use Substratum then either PitchBlack or SwiftBlack are working great on this latest update.

AndroidFileHost: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=192960

FYI: Main module now uses v4 Magisk template. This is not backward compatible with any Magisk version lower than v13.1. If you are still on Magisk 12, use the modules in v3 folder.

If you need a specific dpi or a version compatible with older versions of Magisk, and the mod is available in post#2 then just ask.

Big thanks and credits to Anova's Origin, Razerman, ZaneZam and Laura Almeida.

I know it's been said enough already but seeing [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] join the team is very encouraging and shows maturity and a good spirit as he is happy to drop his project for the betterment of XDA and another project. Massive respect to the whole team! This truly is what XDA should be because of people getting on and working together to produce something amazing. Thank you!:) Also, hopefully the themed versions can come back soon. Can I help a bit? I've got a general understanding of theming and smali and hexcodes so if you need any help [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] then I'd be happy to help.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Well, not anymore, BTW.. [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] suggested me to use a different microG version which solved the sign up issue. But it wasn't a non themed version issue; it was in both themed versions. Though I have the white on white and black on black font issues...
[Android Apps and Games] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Thanks ;)

Works fine on S7 edge SuperMan Rom 2.6
[Android Apps and Games] pcroland:
It's just a workaround, as andre005 said it minimalizes the video and go to the shortcut page from where you were. A default tab option would online open the tab you set when you start the app.

Good work

Thanks you for work

Is there a version I can use without magisk? Because I don't use magisk at all
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
Yes, I also don't use Magisk. Read post #2, section where it states the differences between root, non-root and magisk. Installation instructions are also there.
[Android Apps and Games] chitown835:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] leider:
Help. I use magisk. The previous version worked for me. Until YouTube update to 12.32.59. Reinstall YouTube, iytbp module. Nothing helps, nothing works.

I am downloading iYTBP versions for arm64 nodpi - the previous version was working

My version of magisk 5.11 / 13.3

My phone LG G6
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
But the official YT has to be uninstalled in order for the Magisk one to work.

Try to uninstall both versions, reboot and then install the Magisk version. If it doesnt work, try to manually install it.
[Android Apps and Games] leider:
I turned off and turned on youtube applications (with iYTbp enabled) and started working. thanks

I love the App but I have a little question...

Is there any chance of getting the Themed Version back any Time soon?
[Android Apps and Games] tomdot:
I also couldn't get the app to appear in drawer via Vanced zip installer (latest) until I disabled and enabled the playstore version. Very strange. This always worked in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] pcroland:
Use a Substratum theme :D
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
yes, it's in work but still needs some days. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Frances91:
Past couple updates, IYTBP literally salvages youtube experience on Android, and the custom settings addition takes it to whole new level altogether.

El GooG's 'official' version is plain wading through unbearable intrusive ad-spam and sponsored vitriolic propaganda, for just as less as a few minutes of video watching/surfing.

Can't thank the dev team enough for their consistent efforts in offering this wonderful, regularly updated mod!

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] ShadixAced:
Thank you ! Finally a mod that can be trustworthy. The thing is it doesn't work anymore for me, since YT got updated. I'm using Anova's version (Magisk)

Edit: Nevermind, Just saw that [MENTION=8043063]Anova's Origin[/MENTION] posted a new version. Nice work !
[Android Apps and Games] IQ334:
How do I remove upper right mini ads? This ads sometimes appear and disturb me to watch video comfortably. I can remove by sliding this ads, but it's very annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
I guess you have auto updates enabled for YouTube in play store. Turn that off or it will update YouTube again
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Fixed

Fixed (not 100% sure, no device to test)

Tried to fix this (not 100% sure, no device to test) as per the advise of [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION]

It wasn't ignored, I had to take a break due to some unfortunate incidents. anyways, your logs were helpful and thanks for reporting :good:

What do you mean by the "the dark grey text" ? Show me a screenshot...!!!

Not sure what's going on. Title color is the same for all tabs, so it should change no matter what tab you are on. until it is fixed, use the non themed version.

Those are NOT ads. They are suggestions. Currently no plan to remove that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few more fixes needs to be done. I think ZaneZam will be able to release the themed version on Saturday or Sunday.

Here is a Test v2.13 build, please report back if you find any bugs.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Schrotty35:
Test 2.13 looks great here on my Honor 6x.
[Android Apps and Games] Skulltec:
Thanks mate you guys are pretty fast!
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Test: "share" black on black font fixed. It's now white font over black. "Comment" font remains white on white... I don't know a thing about theming, but maybe if changing "comment" box color to black or grey instead of changing font color... I don't know how it's done anyway. Just saying...
[Android Apps and Games] ShadixAced:
Yep, I do have autoupdates, but problem solved since they released the patched version for YT.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Turn it off as youtube will get updated again
[Android Apps and Games] ShadixAced:
Yeah, I will. Thanks for helping !
[Android Apps and Games] SuperSandro2000:
Idk what I do wrong but I can't get the vanced version to work on my s8. I completely removed stock YouTube and the installer just refuses to work. Can't install the apk's either. Complains that the packages are corrupt but they are not. I did 2 downloads. Using arm64 480 dpi version.
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
What you didn't do is reading the OP.

Hint: you don't install the APK, rather copy it to /system and set the appropriate Permissions and reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperSandro2000:
Thanks. That finally did it....

Btw: I tried the installer and the magisk module and both did not work. Everything works on my s5.
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Thank you. Looks perfect, but am unable to sign in for some reason. 'Add Account' doesn't work...
[Android Apps and Games] Leoleleo32:
If u want to be able to login into your account download provided microG app for example "MicroG_for_iYTBP_v0.2.4.apk" and install it.

[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Thanks, but all previous themed versions worked flawlessly when installed. Hopefully the official forthcoming themed .apk will work as per normal and let me sign in...

:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Bobthahog:
For 1 thing, I'm petty sure u should install the no DPI version on S8. I have S8+ and it takes no DPI version. I think the weird aspect ratio means no DPI version needed. I use non-root themed version and it works perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperSandro2000:
I don't think that it has something to do with the aspect ratio. Dpi depends on the resolution.

I did a quick check on Google plus I installed from play store and it is 480 dpi. So 480 dpi is the way to go.
[Android Apps and Games] s--c:
I installed Youtube_12.32.59-1232592300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk on my pixel xl. Works fine.

in addition the microG app got updated by [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] (thx + chredits!)

changelog:

rebased on older microg v0.2.4-81 to fix fc's on older android versions

probably fix search/and or video history (not 100% confirmed needs testing)

package renamed to microG_for_YouTube_Vanced_0.2.4.apk

latest version of this app is now available in the download root folder on all mirrors.

old version moved to "OLD_MICROG" folder in case someone needs to use this

older version.

enjoy!

[Android Apps and Games] Sy1ar:
Thanks for the update, updated to latest one yet play store shows update for YouTube available.

Installed version is same as the update shown as pending. Is there something wrong at my end. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Are you using the nodpi version? Try using the one for your device DPI.
[Android Apps and Games] Sy1ar:
Tried 480 dpi on Nexus 6P, Same result. Is it something to do with Android Oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Hmmm possibly. I'm using the 12.32.59 nodpi magisk module on my 6P running 7.1.2 PureNexus with no issues. Sadly I've got no devices running Oreo yet to test.

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] maybe we need a minAPI26 arm64 (nodpi) version specifically for Oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
Think Google may be up to something fishy. I'm not running latest version yet, but somehow they turned on auto update on my application. Plugged in my phone and see "YouTube is updating." Noooooooo! I just uninstalled updates and turned it back off. But those bastards!
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
There is a version of youtube specifically for Oreo only. It brings Adaptive Icons and Picture in Picture mode (maybe even more). But the APKTool doesn't seem to support Oreo yet so there are some bugs (At least the adaptive icons won't work).
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Just out of interest, how difficult would it be to implement, add a change of the default Youtube player?
[Android Apps and Games] yozone01:
Just installed ** Youtube_12.32.59-1232592440_minAPI16(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk** on my Nexus 5x, it is working perfect. Amazing work guys!
[Android Apps and Games] vtec303:
I can't find the themed versions, red and black? cheers
[Android Apps and Games] sahatmrt:
Thank You Sir!

This Magisk Module works flawlessly for me, on Nougat 7.1.2 Customized Lineage OS by Umang96 on Magisk 13.3 on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon. Uninstall Official Youtube, install this module via Magisk Manager.

No Ads, play in background :good: Hopefully this module can keep working if Youtube updated later.

Thank You Sir :good:
[Android Apps and Games] beatschubser:
Is there currently a non-root version available that uses the dark theme?
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
Laura Almeida already said she's testing those. She posted yesterday some fixes which are on their way. She's been pretty busy with life.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Yes we need a special API26 version and yes Google is activating the auto update in the background somehow and that even when u use detach script like I do. I noticed that on two devices yet. So either it's the not proper api version for the device and/or a detection of such hacks like the detach script (at least on my end here)

Btw for the API26 we need a separate mod version as already stated by [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] and as I already found out couple of versions ago. I dropped using this versions as I'm not prepared for that yet.

Anyway we (respectively [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION]) are working on it as u can see :)

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Yes indeed,theme is already done by Laura but still needs some testing and some bug fixing, so some patience please to the requesters ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kanyazsombor:
Hi, I'm absolutely not expert, just came across with an article regarding blocking play store updates. Could it be helpful for you?

https://www.xda-developers.com/stop-updates-android-application/
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
That is what is essentially done in the non-root version. So, just use the non-root version.

In youtube, it wouldn't be as simple as that, since they integrate with the play services api with the signature, thus changing the signature would only make it force close (i believe this has been mentioned in this thread before).
[Android Apps and Games] Nevuly:
I installed iYTBP magisk version in Oreo.

I found one issue, I installed lastest Youtube version with iYTBP, but Playstore still need update youtube application.

Now, I need a iYTBP Magisk uninstall zip.

But I can't find that.
[Android Apps and Games] oux:
that's because of dpi. just don't allow updates and it should work fine
[Android Apps and Games] Nevuly:
I use Nexus 5X, I think I need to fix about this problem to replace youtube.apk
[Android Apps and Games] oux:
if it got installed and the problem is just that u have update in play store, just ignore the update

and to uninstall just remove the module from within Magisk manager
[Android Apps and Games] huffmybrd:
Seems there is an Oreo specific version of YouTube, that's why it keeps updating (the Oreo version has picture in picture mode and some other stuff)
[Android Apps and Games] miten_sheth:
Trying out now!
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
another 2...

thx but re-signing isn't an option for the root version because when u change the signature the app fc's when starting. however if u use the non-root version it works as the checks for the signatures are removed and the internal name has changed and u use micog to login. anyways as long as u use gapps with services and playstore big G always sees what u have installed on your system and it isn't hard to detect YT and provide a update automatically.

btw: i've uploaded another 2 latecomer variants:

Youtube_12.32.59-1232592420_minAPI16(arm64-v8a)(240dpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk

Youtube_12.32.59-1232593720_minAPI21(x86)(240dpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk

enjoy (at least the ones who need 240dpi *g*)

[Android Apps and Games] Skulltec:
Hey guys in the play store youtube still needs an update. I am running latest version via magisk.

It doesn't bother me, i have auto update turned off for youtube and somehow i don't get a notification for the update.

I just want to say that i am not the only one around here that seems to have this "problem". One thing that i do notice however is that everyone including me is running android Oreo. It's maybe because there is an Oreo update, i don't know. But it has to do something with Oreo i can't think of any other cause..
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
It's because there's a minapi26 version specifically for Oreo so Play Store is trying to update you to that version. Others have already said this.
[Android Apps and Games] st4ik:
What version i need to install to make google play not display updates?
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
If I'm not mistaken, you have to download the version for your phone's dpi. :)
[Android Apps and Games] st4ik:
I install 12.32.59-1232593300_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi) and google play wants to update.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Get this one instead.

edit: Damn, got ninja'd by Mario... :D
[Android Apps and Games] fenchai:
For Some reason, I am not able to paste on /System/App nor I can just hit install the Apk.

I tried giving my Solid Explorer and ES File Explorer root permission and I see that it is "granted" from my Magisk Log.

But Paste action is canceled, no permission from ES file and just error from Solid File Explorer.

Maybe this is because of Magisk? mmmm ?
[Android Apps and Games] mario_foo:
is your system mounted as read/write ?
[Android Apps and Games] fenchai:
I do not really know but I think Magisk is systemless root so It may have something to do with it. I use Magisk to mask root and I am afraid that If I usr Terminal Emulator to mount RW or RO it may damage something.

Should I just mount with Terminal and Unmount it later?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
There's an app called Root Essentials (the XDA Thread is below) that can mount and Unmount the devices system just by the click of a button. It has a ton more stuff it can do as well as informational stuff but, using a button is much better than entering information within the Terminal.

Check it out and see if it's something you can use.

[Android Apps and Games] Samg381:
Very strange. I have tried numerous installs to no avail.

My procedure is the following:

- Download ARM64 version of modded APK ( I have a google pixel)

- Delete contents of system/app/YouTube

- Create new YouTube folder with 755 permissions

- Copy+paste modded APK into new folder

- Apply 644 perms to new APK

- clear cache/data of youtube apk

- reboot

Tried numerous times. Ads still present. Background playback still works.
[Android Apps and Games] Balthazard:
May I ask how you used the detach mod?

When I try to use it I get a constant popup of the package installer not working normally. See attached screenshot.

What I did was use the provided text file and remove the '#' from YouTube and flash the detach zip.

My setup is as followed.

Nexus 6P

Pure Nexus

Flash Kernel

Latest Beta Magisk

IYTBP Magisk module
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
I didn't do anything else, just opened the text file, delete the # before youtube, save text file and flash it.. I'm on RR N for op2 with Franco's kernel on magisk 11.6 with selinux permissive fix but this shouldn't matter, I think..

Please refer to the thread where you downloaded the file, it's well described & supported..
[Android Apps and Games] jt1998:
weird. Basic question - did you uninstall the original youtube app on the device 1st? I did that, then didn't change anything with the original folder in system/app. I didn't have to change any permissions either on the apk or the folder (but I did check that they were correct).

B/c I didn't have youtube installed, no cache/data to clear

I rebooted, launched the app in my app drawer, which it just appeared after the reboot, and it works with no ads and background playback.

Try again is all I can suggest. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] Samg381:
Yep. Uninstalled the app completely first. Very strange. I wonder if it's a location thing.
[Android Apps and Games] timbohobbs:
I got ads initially on my first attempt. Second time i wiped dalvik cache and cache and rebooted then moved the folder over and it worked and still works now with no ads. Don't know if wiping made any difference but i think making sure all previous YouTube references are gone is key

Edit. The first time, when i got ads initially, i used Titanium Backup to uninstall the old YouTube. Second time i deleted the folder from system/app then wiped. Not sure if this helped either but, like i said, no ads now.
[Android Apps and Games] Samg381:
What do you mean by 'moved the folder over'?

Do you mind listing your install steps? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] timbohobbs:
Read my edit also. To install i just copied the folder using root explorer with system mounted as read/write to system/app then changed permissions
[Android Apps and Games] Samg381:
Just re-installed another time. Still getting ads.

I've downloaded this APK about 20 times over the past month, and each time I try and install it, I still wind up getting these pathetic ads.

Looking for any developer input here. I'm on a (Google store) Google Pixel XL, and I am located in florida.

There should theoretically be no reason these ads are getting through. I am using the Arm64 version of the Adblocked + background playback APK.

Background playback does work. I know I am using the modified APK, but somehow ads are still getting through.

I am running AdAway and DNS66.

- I have completely wiped the YouTube folder and data folders numerous times and before each install.

- I have cleared the dalvik cache before/after each install.

- I have applied folder/apk permissions each time.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] LazerL0rd:
