It's just like on PC programs. You can run both 32 and 64 bit programs on a 64 bit SoC but can't run a 64 bit program on a 32 bit SoC.
[Android Apps and Games] Mumin:
Nice work will be looking forward to this...

Is there going to be a updated magisk version too?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Yes I think so.

If not, then just open the latest magisk zip file and replace the youtube.apk file with the themed one and flash it.

That's it.
[Android Apps and Games] u7Xz:
Wow the theme looks so great. Thank you a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
How do you know the theme looks great ? ?

It is not released yet.

It is still uploading as of this moment!!
[Android Apps and Games] u7Xz:
What! I just checked AFH and it was uploaded there? If a made something disrespectful i am really sorry.

Edit: I am talking about rooted version.
[Android Apps and Games] quantumqweef:
is that red black or grey black?

EDIT: just noticed red black folder empty
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
You are supposed to wait for [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] to release it.

He is currently uploading it.

When it is done, he will announce it here.

Sometimes uploading isn't go well as planned and there might be some issues. And re-uploading is needed.

That's why you need to wait till [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] make sure it is uploaded properly
[Android Apps and Games] u7Xz:
You are right i should have waited. Also i downloaded from Gray folder and the app is totally black-red so maybe the folders are wrong uploaded just to notice [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] ofcourse its totally my fault since i didn't waited for [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] i am really sorry again.
[Android Apps and Games] hikumo:
Hi… I made a flashable zip (YouTube 12.27.53, 5.0+, arm, nodpi) https:// puu.sh/wS38v/2693258e82.zip
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
You can't blame him.

He has to build and upload 127 builds (approx. 3.20GB)

That too in both AFH and Mediafire

If you ask me that is too much work.

Just wait till he make sure everything is in order.
[Android Apps and Games] u7Xz:
Yeah i am not blaming its totally my fault. You and [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] are doing awesome work for us and for free we are really grateful to you. I just want to ask Zanezam why is he building for every dpi? Wouldn't just nodpi enough?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
That's already answered.

If you don't install the correct dpi version, YouTube will show up in playstore as "new update"
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
guys sry i've produced a mess with the theme versions have to redo things and re-upload, takes a good bit again :o

v12.27.53 updated and completed variants

Hi Guys,

so now this version is the condensed result of the latest findings by [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] and me regarding ads (which means in the best case no ads at all anymore even video ones :fingers-crossed:) and the big effort of [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION]

regarding theming thx and credits to them! versions were tested on multiple devices which included also casting function which worked very well for me with that new version on my devices and hopefully also do for all now.

as stated the rest of the themed variants are following tomorrow.

the non themed version is complete uploaded

. i suggest to use this new updated version if someone already use the first release it might work better. ;)

enjoy !

[Android Apps and Games] NoNickNameHahA:
Hey, just tested this version: youtube_12.27.53-1227533400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(red-black-v2.3)-adaway-backgroundplayback.apk

Videos won't play.

But the same version in grey black works great.

Awesome work btw.
[Android Apps and Games] MRDOCA:
Same issue as above but with the black and grey version. It's like it's waiting for a ad to load. If you go out of the video and back in it works. Also I tried clearing data from app.
[Android Apps and Games] gh0stzk:
For me, works great, ty for ur work.
[Android Apps and Games] Hacktank:
Same issue as well. Whenever a preroll add tries to play the video just freezes and wont ever start.

I tried all variants:

youtube_12.27.53-1227533400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(red-black-v2.3)-adaway-backgroundplayback.apk

youtube_12.27.53-1227533400_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(grey-black-v2.3)-adaway-backgroundplayback.apk

youtube_12.27.53-1227533440_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)-adaway-backgroundplayback.apk

Using OnePlus 3T running Android 7.1.1, OxygenOS 4.1.6, and Franco Kernel r25.
[Android Apps and Games] vsot13:
Something is not right. Tried both red/ black and gray/black
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Works fine for me using the arm64 red and black version.
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Same here, videos won't play

Edit: seems to only happen on new videos
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
I tried non-root YouTube_v12.27.53(minAPI16-nodpi-noarch)_motofix_v1.2.apk on my rooted Nexus 5 running DarkRom 7.1.2 and it seems to work great. No video or UI ads till now, chromecast bar is back and I can skip chromecast ads as well. Great job guys!
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
480 dpi, API 21, arm64 working great on my oneplus 3t. Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] info2shail2010:
Anyone please help me.. i tried 4 apps ...non of them working for me.. i mean not even installing...

i tried via phone... set permission...etc

then i tried via adb .. this error comes

PS C:\adb> adb root

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

how to install.. m noob and slow to learn..
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
I've never done by ADB. Flashing via TWRP is generally the way to go I've found.
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
Which method have you tried, and what do you mean by not working?

Have you read the OP?
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
thx, but that's strange now as both versions have the same base but i can imagine everything with that release *g*

so unfortunately it's not working for all (testing this is impossible for people like me with no vid ads) :(

hey fortunately for some it does :)

yah seems so :( but nothing i can do atm sry

yah the questions are now do those who had ad vids have problems now or in general? (not likely as tests on my side worked well) and does the non root version make a difference?

as said unfortunately timewise and knowledgewise i can't do anything atm and refer to older working versions for those who have isses ;). sry for that but well all kinda luck game atm ;)

rest of the themed variants will be uploaded later today (maybe this versions make a differnce? unlikely but we will see).

so long...

[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
No ads on non root and working properly
[Android Apps and Games] Arerive:
new update working fine. red black version. x86

Videos not playing on these versions will have to rollback use last version till theres a fix :(.
[Android Apps and Games] :
No ads for rooted arm

What different between api16 with api21? Which one suitable for nougat? Thus api21 more speciality on video code/ sizes of video to view or just the same? What does api mean
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
Not 100% sure I know exactly how I managed it but check this out.

https://youtu.be/hIG0uQn0zyA

Dunno why it's so pixelated and blurry. I set upload quality to 1080p. Ah well. As you can see it's all in the older layout but with the newer version of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
If you delete the com.google.android.libraries.youtube.innertube.cold_config_group key from the /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/youtube.xml, and then make sure the youtube is closed (not necessarily closed if you only exited it), it will have the old layout for the first boot. But it will load that config again from the youtube servers and set the key. Now after the youtube has been completely closed and opened, it will have the new layout again.

There most likely is a way to make the old/new layout toggle but it's the matter of finding it. Maybe preventing the saving of that key? But will it affect something else as well? I'll look into it next week but will see if I can figure something out.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:
Idk. What I'm sure is it's server-side update. You probably, unknowingly, tamper the app. It's similar to Google feed layout. I was once had the new layout, now that I use Nova + Companion I got the old layout back, which I dislike. Who knows!?
[Android Apps and Games] Kaeltis:
Had the same issue with video playback not starting on youtube_12.27.53-1227533440_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(480dpi)-adaway-backgroundplayback.apk (seemingly waiting for an ad to play).

Wit the non-root version YouTube_v12.27.53(minAPI16-nodpi-noarch)_v1.2.apk everything seems to be working perfectly fine. Thanks!

EDIT: Still seems to happen, altough way less often compared to the root version.
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
That would be awesome. I can't be the only one not digging the me layout.

Anyway. I went and rebooted 4 times and open/closed the app. The only things I haven't done are wipe the app's data/cache or wipe dalvik/cache in recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] NoNickNameHahA:
Finally all new versions aren't working for me, videos won't play.

Anyone having the issus of not being able to log in on the non-rooted version?
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
You've got to download microG from the second post to log in to non-root version.
[Android Apps and Games] ApOgedoN:
Would it be possible to have a black themed app of an older youtube version. With background playback/ad-block and rooted.

With the recent updates to ads i would like to keep these nicely themed black version when i switch to an old version.

Or do they already exist? I could only find newer versions on ZaneZam AFH list.
[Android Apps and Games] VincAlastor:
thanks, but no that doesn't solve the problem.

iYTBP rooted stops playback after every video in playlist or auto play mode when screen is off.:(
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Disable battery optimization for the YouTube app.
[Android Apps and Games] VincAlastor:
yes, i tried, but it's not shown in the list because it's an system app... thanks anyway

the solution is activate "unrestricted data usage" also in data save mode - that's strange, because data save mode isn't activated. Could be an oneplus 3 problem. But now it works :)
[Android Apps and Games] KamiCartier:
Youtube links from Chrome won't open in iYTBP. Instead they play in Chrome. Is there a way to fix this issue? I've tried clearing the cache and data for iYTBP and Chrome, but nothing changed. Also, I have the default Youtube app disabled. When it was enabled, videos from Chrome would open in Youtube, but ads would show up so I disabled it.
[Android Apps and Games] Seki_:
I'm also having these "videos won't load issues" with the most recent rooted version and found out, that if you sign into another Google account, the same exact videos are working fine. Maybe there are some special, personalized ads that are causing these problems. I don't really know, though. That's just a guess.

On the other hand, Razermans no root test 2 version is working flawless for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Quickfixed variants for v12.27.53

Ok folks,

if u go to following folders

MEDIAFIRE:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/7dbtk5r52cabk/QUICKFIX

AFH:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=201684

u can find nodpi (only!) variants of root/themed/non-root versions which have the video ad fix removed

so those who have video playback issues use these versions (but logically u will get back the ads though).

all others be happy with the other version till u get forced ads from G but then u have the quickfix option :)

sry again for the mess we will try to test that better/longer next time (volunteers with vid ads highly appreciated! *wink*)

so now i really have to cool down my internet "upload line" :)

cheers

that actually is a good info maybe we can use that to find the problem thx ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ram4ufriends:
We really appreciate all you are doing and you no need to apologise for anything...we all know things might not work sometimes...I think it's better to have a telegram for test group?
[Android Apps and Games] gh0stzk:
My opinion is, just ignore the users who have ads.. No matter u make the perfect mod, always will be people with "bugs, issues" you need to move foward.

People dont read or are basic users "noob users" they dont know how to stop playstore from being updated, and the they came here with complains about mod.

I try old, older and oldest versions, i never watch any ads. Why? I dont know, i only know i dont use gapps, i dont have playservices..

Is annoying seen people complaining about they see ads.. Maybe open new thread for support.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Guys I think you must try and understand, ads on YouTube are not an exact science...

There are many factors why ads may or may not be blocked on YouTube.

Location your in. I think a very important factor.

YouTube own ads algorithm their side.

Wether or not your running adaway with latest updated hosts.

What rom your running.

Which device you have.

What version of Android your on.

Clearing YouTube cache and data.

Which root method your using.

Made sure playstore automatic youtube updates are turned off.

Correctly applying the right permissions and placement of the apk as stated by the 1st thread.

As you can see there are many variables in blocking ads. Sometimes it's a lot of trial and error.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
How do you not use gapps lol? No play store? I have never seen any ads either so I don't know if it is a location thing possibly​ but it does seem to be a fraction of users.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
We already have a telegram group

Check my above post for link

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Ignoring the users who are getting ads is not an option for us.

Btw, you won't be able to run YouTube if you don't have Google play services.

Opening a support thread is a good idea which will help to clean up this thread
[Android Apps and Games] gh0stzk:
I use Microg from microg.org
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I will try to give explanation for your theories.

1. Location doesn't count. I used xposed to fake location on system level + used paid vpn. No ads found. But i was able to unlock location specific features like YouTube TV, offline video saving etc

2. Ad algorithms written within the app can be modified.

3. Adaway hosts has zero effect. YouTube app uses encrypted bs which cannot be blocked using a simple host file. You will need a DNS filter to block YouTube app. Don't believe me ? Try blocking YouTube at the router level via URL Content Filter. YouTube won't load in browser while YouTube app still works fine.

4. Does matter for the workaround as we have seen in Motorola phones.

5. Same as above.

6. So far doesn't really matter.

7. Always recommended but not really needed.

8. Doesn't matter.

9. Definitely matter.

10. If you don't correctly apply permission YouTube won't show up at all. So it only matter for installation. It has nothing to do with ads.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

MicroG is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. It is a free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google's proprietary Android user space apps and libraries.

So, technically you have play store services installed. Just not from google.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Laura you are a serious expert in youtube ad blocking. What a comprehensive explanation. Thank You I've learnt alot now.
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
OP updated, official iYTBP re-based on the latest adaway mod by arter97, version number is 12.27.53

Only API21 this time, as that's what arter has released for now. Old version for API16 still available in the OP if someone needs it.

Enjoy and thanks again to all the contributors, your dedication to keeping the mod updated is amazing!! I'm probably not needed anymore :D but I still like to release an updated "offical build" from time to time :)
[Android Apps and Games] mite120000:
Hello,

first I want to thank all developers for their hard work, you do a great job and I am very happy to get the updated versions so fast.

I have the OnePlus 5 and I haven't had any issues the last weeks, my OP5 is rooted and i always took the ARM64 nodpi version which was working fine, I always just dragged the apk in the system/app/YouTube folder and set the correct permissions.

Since the last oxygenOS update, for some reason, backgroundplayback and adblock doesn't work anymore. I also tried older versions which worked before, but somehow it doesn't work anymore. I installed it like always, it's really weird. I can't imagine that the OOS update could have anything to do with it, but that's the only main thing I did before it stopped working.

Has anybody an idea what I could try? Somehow I'm too dumb for adb, i can't type adb root, i have to do adb shell and then su, from there the commands do not work, but idk what I am doing wrong tbh.

Would be very happy if sb had any ideas. Please continue with this project, we all know which efforts you put in, and there are many people who are very thankful, trust me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
I suppose when you updated the OS, the normal non-modded app was installed again. So you should remove or disable it as stated in first and second post, to start all over again.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
hey man not at all! glad you don't stop to put up your "option" too and still thankful to let us contribute! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] mite120000:
Thank you for your response. This seems possible, although I did it always as I stated at previous updates and it worked. I'll try when I wake up and update you!
[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
Well it was working yesterday. Today not a single video plays. Not even videos that I know have no ads.
[Android Apps and Games] vsot13:
Read couple pages back
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
First of all, I am really grateful for your guys effort. I wish I really could help more on the development side, but starting to learn is kinda slow when weekend is all you have :D

Anyway, I agree helping to get all of the ads gone is a good idea, but realistically doing it blindly tends to have more issues rather than result. That being said, I believe it's better to go between these options:

a. Ignore the ads. I know it's not ideal, but as we all saw, the ones getting the ads aren't helping, while us that wants to help, aren't getting the ads. In other words, until the people that wants to help gets ad, we might as well ignore it.

b. Make two releases (doesn't have to be a seperate thread). Since most of the modifications are done blindly, rather than getting surprise issues after all the hardwork, I think it's better to just create one nodpi (with themed) version for test, and release it here as a test. When enough people confirms it's okay, then the changes could be adopted to the various versions and release it, lets say as a stable version. I think this would be a better option if the telegram option doesn't have users.

c. Of course, continue the effort as it was doing, but get more testers on the telegram channel. Speaking of which, I wasn't aware of a telegram group until now. I wonder when was it created? Was it just for testers? Maybe its just me, but it could be the lack of information makes the members of the channel so small.

Updates for android 4.1+?
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:
That's so... Ancient in Android world. Pardon my curiosity, did your phone maker stop updating your phone and there's no custom ROM available for yours? Or are you simply don't want to update? (I know a guy who is the latter)
[Android Apps and Games] matetoes:
Umm... Just installed the latest iYTBP on my phone, and now it crashes a few seconds after I open the app. That's weird, since I had an older version of iYTBP installed before, and I removed it and downloaded a newer version, installing it the same way as the first. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:

[Android Apps and Games] matetoes:
What's substratum? I'm sorry, but I haven't done any Magisk tinkering or anything... Just rooted stock 7.0.0 nougat. I have a Moto G4 Plus, so that would be armeabi. I chose the nodpi version.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:

Just to write something what I got for API16 & API21
