Soft bricked my phone after flashing ''iYTBP-youtube-vanced-installer.zip'' (the previous one was called ''MOD-arter97-youtube-vanced-installer.zip") with ''Youtube_12.29.57-1229572300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)(grey-black-v2.8)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk''.

I tried it again with ''Youtube_12.29.57-1229573300_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)(grey-black-v2.8)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk'' but it still didn't boot correctly and bootloops.

The previous version was installed successfully so it's weird that it doesn't worked out.

I just wiped my phone and going to do it again.

Any advice to prevent it happening again?

Without recovery logs nobody can't help you
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
And actually this can't be related to any changes in the installer as it does the same or even lesser then before. And beside of that it worked on 4 devices here. But on recent Roms like Los14 and oos 4.x.x. Installer works from android 4.4 onwards but that also has not changed. So that must have been bad luck I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
Yeah, I guess it was bad luck or that the api 16 version caused it for whatever reason.

Just tried out it again it with a fresh installed rom and it worked fine.

Weird.

Anyway locking resolution is awesome, glad to see it back.

Sadly unlocking all resolutions doesn't work (it didn't work out with YourTube+ too) but It's probably something related to my device.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
I could not install the latest .57 version with the zip installer, but .56 worked. Was there anything changed or missed in the .57 version?Thank you for the continued work and great app.
[Android Apps and Games] akanealw:
I have the same issue. I'm using Youtube_12.29.57-1229573340_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(480dpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk on my Nexus 6. Recovery log attached.

Google is your best friend on this one: https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers

Ummm because this is NOT an xposed module :confused: I think you need to read Post#1 again.
[Android Apps and Games] Krlos Eduardo:
everything works great after update!

tnks!
[Android Apps and Games] MitoTakatori:
The installer seems not working. It's not installing the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
Yup, I am having the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] MitoTakatori:
Now I am waiting for [MENTION=8043063]Anova's Origin[/MENTION] updated magisk version.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
Did you delete the previous version from your downloads? Check to make sure you have only the apk for the newest version.

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

See above response
[Android Apps and Games] MitoTakatori:
Yep. My Downloads folder only contains the latest apk. Is it working for you?
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
First, I didn't since the zip deletes any version. Since it didn't work I deleted the app and the folders and nothing. The zip file cannot find the YouTube APK.
[Android Apps and Games] jsbthree:
Same Problem here.

Tried different apk's.

Only one apk in the folder every time.

The zip didn't find one.
[Android Apps and Games] MitoTakatori:
Thanks [MENTION=8043063]Anova's Origin[/MENTION] for the update on the Magisk Module!
[Android Apps and Games] Kuttoosssan:
Try using the new installer of August 06. That worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
That's the one I used. .56 gets installed but .57 doesn't get found by the zip. But no big deal, I can wait to see if the developers kept everything the same or something was deleted by accident.
[Android Apps and Games] edzamber:
Great work !

Many thanks [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] gentano:
1000 thanks, ZaneZam.

Version installed fine and is working great on SM-G900F with LOS 14.1 using the new installer from 6th august.
[Android Apps and Games] booci:
The name of the app changed from bla bla bla-vanced-vp9-backgroundplayback.apk to bla bla bla-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk

That is why the installer doesn't find the apk. Rename your apk and it will work.

All those who say the installer is working, either you are lying or you "forgot" to mention you renamed your apk. Good luck to all!

Later edit.

Forget what I said. I just saw there is a new installer, so that means people were using new apk with old installer.
[Android Apps and Games] edzamber:
Personally i use my own script that delete system/app/YouTube and working Great
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
yes maybe u missed to use the new installer, i should have mention that you need the new installer due to the name change ("vp9" has removed)

probably because u use the old one which was already on your phone.

dito

yah this should help

strange as it did for me on 4 devices with different variants.

exactly, or just use the new installer.

you are using the old installer and your partitions didn't got mounted for whatever reason (at least the data one) but i can't say why unfortunately.

ok guys sry i forgot to mention it explicitly so i do it now: please download and use the new installer which is now called iYTBP-youtube-vanced-installer.zip if u want to be able to install latest 12.29.57 version. i will update the installer soon so that u can use it for older versions too (if someone even wants to use older versions) ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rikin93:
New version works great but some videos have a never ending loading bar like its waiting for an ad to load.
[Android Apps and Games] Loquitur:
Non root version works just fine on S8 with latest official fw. Thanks so much. I move from Ogyoutube.
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
The max resolution limit override is not working on this one. For reference, the version that Razerman gave me to test days ago did work. This test was done on the Amazon Fire.

Edit: I did another test on my Nexus 5X for the Preferred Video Quality feature. Selected 1080p and it capped at 720p. Looks like it doesn't work properly.

Edit 2: No matter if themed or not 1080p is simply no longer available in my Nexus 5X with this version.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
If you look at all the great effort and time put into this app from everyone involved, with all the features and options, makes the original Utube app seem subpar.! Great work :)

I just flashed the new version in TWRP with the new installer in less the 5 seconds:)
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Hello,

Google Pixel user here on 7.1.2 rooted.

I just tried to install iYTBP (Youtube_12.29.57-1229573400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(red-black-v2.8)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk) with the new installer (iYTBP-youtube-vanced-installer.zip). I got no error during flashing in TWRP (3.1.0-RC2) but when I rebooted the old YouTube app was indeed deleted but the new one seems not to have been installed : the folder /system/app/YouTube doesn't even exist.

Does anyone have a clue of what might have happened and/or what I can do to solve this issue?

Here's the recovery log if it can help : https://pastebin.com/2UHeP3yz

if more details are needed just let me know.

Thanks,

Is it possible to implement the auto quality in a way that separates mobile and wifi? I have limited bandwidth on mobile but i prefer to watch in max resolution on wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] Arekku:
I have the same issue. New installer and latest youtube apk from the mediafire link. At first my YT app wasnt installed, but after removing it manually nothing gets installed.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] westeight:
Works fine on my U11:
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Ok... Same bug on the newest version. This time I'm including a couple of settings screenshots (which were missing from my last report) You don't specify which settings part you require, so I'm sending you two. In "iYTBP Settings" the "force VP9 codec" option was toggled by me AFTER noticing the white window. Aside from that, any other setting remains untouched. Last log I've sent you was actually retrieved with Catlog (as is the new one) by the way; and issue is still as I actually explained last time: "add to" window is mostly white on white, as visible in screenshot, however "add to" button is now visible so it's not an "issue" anymore...
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
... And here's the logcat
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
thx for the log hmmm there is actually is no problem in there can't say why it didn't get installed all seems normal beside of again a data partition mount problem.

maybe script get's exited abnormal if that mount doesn't work. would need to add debug output to see more. again i just did modify the installer to adress the older "vp9" variant

and installed an older version with it w/o a problem. maybe u can try to mount data partition manally and execute installer again? just rough a guess.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have a question about the 'preferred video quality' setting.

If I set it to for example 1080p, what happens with the 'stream HD only with WiFi enabled' in the standard YouTube settings?

Is it ignored if I set a preferred video quality?

It would be cool if the preferred video quality setting is only active when the stream HD only with WiFi is active too.
[Android Apps and Games] The:Dude:
I glanced through the installer before flashing it, just because I'm curious about what things do and i think a certain level of paranoia is a good thing.. Glad i did too, i had to move the apk back to download first lol.. The installer script said it worked the first time, but there was no YouTube installed.. I opened the script again and figured out it was trying cd to /tmp to work from the unzipped apk, and I don't have one ? So I created one on the internal sdcard and tried again.. Bingo! Works like a charm!

If you're having problems installing it you might check to see if /tmp exists for you..

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] et all, thank you for the hard work! Great app! Are there any plans to implement downloading? I tried, not very hopefully, and got the message about subscribing to YouTube Red.. I know there are other apps to download, but it'd be cleaner and nicer to have it all in one.. ?
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
thx man thats a good finding! will add that for the update!
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
First time I try to install this app so no idea if older release would've worked.

data partition is already mounted on TWRP boot as otherwise I wouldn't be able to access the Download folder where i put the installer and apk, or is there something i don't get?

Is there some way I can enable debug output as you've mentioned?
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
no no i meant i would have to add code in the installer to error out and print infos. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Oh alright, i get it now.

Btw if you need me to test stuff I'll gladly do.

P.S.: is there a way to manually install the new "vanced" versions?
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
i just came by to say thank you [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] all is good here and your hard work around here is much appreciated. i can only imagine how much work you have to do to update all the versions of this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
What the mod does is just do the clicking of another quality for you. Once you start a new video, it checks the available resolutions and loops through them and sets the highest matching your preferred resolution. It's equivalent for you manually clicking the resolution you want but this is done automatically on every new video.

I'll look into possibility of adding a resolution for wifi and mobile data separately but no promises yet.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
thx for the offer, and yes of course u can always do create a Folder called "Youtube" in /system/app or clean out a already existing one.

then copy downloaded apk into it and rename it to "Youtube.apk". then open apk like a zip file (for example with root explorer) and extract

the "lib" directory into /system/app/Youtube folder. then finally give all directories 755 permission (Youtube and Youtube/lib and sub dirs) and Youtube.apk + lib/arch/*.so

files 644 permission. thats pretty much what the installer does ;) one note: the lib folder might need the libs available in different subfolders. for example

the apk has a "arm64-v8a" dir in lib but system might need "arm64" or with "armeabi-v7a" it might be "arm" or "armeabi" folders.

the installer does symlink one directory to all possible variants but u can also create multiple dirs with the names and copy the *.so files into it.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

thx but not to forget the 2 other people who are investing even more time to "workaround" and theme stuff! ;)

and yes it's a bit of work but on the other hand still fun, hope that stays so :)
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:

Did you use the correct DPI version for your device? If not, that's why. Happens with nodpi as well.

Yes i think... 480dpi for G925f Nougat Rom arm64
[Android Apps and Games] SunDynamite:
Hi,

Your non root youtube app works like a charm! Thanks for doing anything you can to make the app more functional and less buggy.
[Android Apps and Games] :
"nodpi" should be the correct one for your device.

S6 Edge has 576 dpi if I'm right.
[Android Apps and Games] edzamber:
You're right : wrong dip, i think i took bad one .

Now its ok with 480 api 21

Many thanks [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] FlyingMachete:
Hi all! Followed from the above few posts, I've always used 480dpi v8 arm 64 for my OnePlus 3, now tried the same for last YT version but with black & red mod and get the update notification. Any idea, anyone, could the black/red mod be the reason? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
Use the no dpi version and see if the notification goes away.
[Android Apps and Games] FlyingMachete:
Thanks for bringing my focus back on the purpose mate, my mistake here was actually an accidental pick of min16 towards min 21... Tyvm.

Question

This is my first time posting on XDA (with this account), so first things first: this app is great! I'm using the non root version on my S8, downloading and all other features work so thumbs up!

I have one question, though, on the original youtube app I have the option to expand the video, so it's fullscreen, but in this app (I'm using the latest .57 version, same goes for the original one) I don't see the option. Anyone got an idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] alexcapone:

[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
guys just a quick info: ive just exchanged the installer with a bit more improved one (same name iYTBP-youtube-vanced-installer.zip) which is a bit more verbose and exits when anything is wrong so

this one can maybe shed some more light when something isn't right and in addition doesn't nuke your current installation which is better than before i guess :)
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Maybe it has something to do with the Acer 4.4.4 OS... I'll do as you suggest and tell you back...
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
No need. It's because you are using android 4.x.x

I will try to fix it in the next build

Stay tuned
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Ok, thanks. Great since there's a lot of devices stuck on older OS with no official updates... and not that much development. I only managed to find one single CWM port by developer shreps for Acer S57, which works fine, but shows itself upside down on...

[Android Apps and Games] Sizzlechest:
What's the md5? Mine is D08A74DF67D56417DF6CFE8CD7F35659

I'm having trouble with it installing Youtube_12.29.57-1229573400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk on my rooted LG v20. It's definitely the right CPU.

Edit: I noticed it reports itself as version 1.1. I see the Youtube folder and it's contents in /system/app. There's no YouTube icon in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
It's weird. I even reverted to the previous version and tested the same videos and was still capped at 720p. That didn't happen before. It now happens on select videos which were not capped before. Must be YouTube having some issues with my device or something.

Still, the other issue I reported still stands and that's the resolution override not working on my tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
Would be nice if you pasted the error or screen shot it here for easier debugging....

[Android Apps and Games] huffmybrd:
v12.29.57 works flawlessly on my ATT s8 (NO-ROOT). thank you so much! question though, would turning on the VP9 Codec be better then just setting the quality at 720? ive honestly got no clue about the vp9

If you don't have any problems like lagging, sound out of sync, etc.. with VP9 on, use it. If you have any lag, turn it off.
