Thx for the arm no dpi version... Was waiting on this! Hopefully we'll get the non root no dpi soon appreciate the work!
[Android Apps and Games] alderon666:
Could someone explain, what is the difference between minAPI16, minAPI21 and minAPI26?

I know it's written 16 for android 5.0, 21 - 5.0-7.0 and 26 - 8.0, but what is the real difference?

I guess I'm using minAPI16 on my android 7.0 since there is nothing else non-root with NODPI to download. I should use minAPI21, so what am I missing in minAPI16?

Why minAPI26 is only 320DPI and if I use minAPI26 on android 7.0 will it work?

Also it's better to use NODPI or DPI specific for your phone?

Thanks for answers.

I'm curious if anyone could explain something - it seems the minapi26 versions are all non-root for arm architecture thus far. Is there a technical reason for that? I'm just curious if something with arm being unsupported for 8.0 has caused the minapi26 arm apps to all go non-root, or if it's just coincidental. Not at all asking for an ETA - I'm a bit curious how arm api26 in general is going to go with Google and was hoping one of you geniuses like Laura might be able to dumb that down for the rest of us.

Thanks for all the awesome work guys.

iYTBP for Android TV

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] it would be great if you could also provide versions for Android TV. The latest versions of "YouTube for Android TV" is also uploaded regulary on apkmirror.

I'm sure that, besides me, every other android tv user would really appreciate your effort, since the last working solution for an adfree use of youtube on android tv boxes was to stay on android lollipop, get root access and install the xposed framework as well as the youtube adaway module by [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION].

Many thanks in advance if this is possible!!!
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
They are experimental, Google hasn't actually made arm api26 apks themselves, the non root ones are more like surrogate apks, they use the arm 64 apk with the libraries replaced with the arm ones, I'm not sure but I think the standard login system doesn't work so they have to use the microg system anyways so no point of making a root apk
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
Very interesting! Thanks so much for the explanation - exactly what I wanted to know.
[Android Apps and Games] alderon666:
Second post still didn't answer my question. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
There is no root variant for minAPI26 because it simply doesn't exist.

In order for us to mod a root variant, Google has to release it first.

Google is supposed to release 60 variants for every single version. With the rapid recent changes in with the YouTube, Google isn't ready to do a full 60 builds yet.

For non root it's more general because just one variant is modded to work on all devices.

Actually standard login will work perfectly fine with the root apk.

We are not creating our own root variants, because root variants are supposed to be 100% original apk with a few injected codes to enable Vanced features.

If we make our own root variant and if the next google release the official one, it is going to be differ from one. Because each variant will have few commits difference. even with just the dpi variants. Yeah i know it make no sense but that's how google rolls out updates.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
As far as I can see, it gives all the needed answers. Maybe one question needs a little bit more explanation, but logic can help.

HINT: Read thoroughly, with your eyes open. If something isn't understandable, read again. If all else fails, then ask.

You didn't even try.
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Here, I'll spoonfeed you.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Here comes the train. Choo choo!
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
The 2nd post actually does answer your questions to an extent. Maybe not to the detail you wish but the info is there:

Link from 2nd post: https://www.apkmirror.com/faq/#What...ing_on_some_APKs_8211_dpi_nodpi_arm_arm64_x86

The main difference is the minimum or targeted api version needed to run the apk. api26 is Min: Android 8.0 (Oreo, API 26) Target: Android 8.0 (Oreo, API 26). You usually can't use api26 on a device running api16/api21, however you can run api16/21 apps on a device running Oreo 8.0. The hint is in the naming convention used minapi Further info can be found in a google search and is kinda outside the scope of this thread.

Nothing since you're on 7.0. From reading back a few pages api26 brings picture in picture support (correct me if that's not all it brings). As far as I'm aware that an Android 8.0 feature.

Since you are still on 7.0 you can't run minAPI26 anyway.

nodpi will cover all resolutions, therefore, it's usually a larger file. dpi specific apps are "optimized" for that specific resolution.

Again the 2nd post pointed in the right direction you just needed to do some legwork to get finer details. Remember this is XDA-Developers, don't expect much hand-holding and specific details you can find yourself with a 5 minute google search. Devs like [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] who handle multiple projects just don't have the time to spell everything out like that.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:

[Android Apps and Games] alderon666:
I read that before I asked, Thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Thanks a lot.

I indeed went to a easy path and decided to ask rather than search multiple pages on google and read them all, but sometimes you will understand more if someone explain it with "easy words" and with short answer. Most of informations on google are long articles, many with technical language. I didn't need to know all that technical details, just something like is it worth or not to install this or that, what are pros and cons if I use api16 or 26 from user perspective if you know, what I mean.

Thanks again for you time to answer me.

Cheers.

Why can't some users wait until the devs post new versions. No need to yell heads up new versions. They have a phone too as well now don't they? I come here every 2 weeks for a new version. I donated when I want to and that's that. You know these people who do those things as their hobby not for work. So calm down folks.

The new 12.37.55 has a nodpi api26 variant so maybe it will be modded in the near future and will work for you.

For the icon: for me each file manager shows the icons a little different. Es file manager shows only the green android for both themed and nonthemed version of 12.34.55, mixplorer shows the black themed icon for the nonthemed and the android icon for the black themed.

Maybe Laura has something mixed up or forgotten something with the many variants to be modded.

Totally comprehensible in my opinion.

[MENTION=5589796]The Analog Kid[/MENTION], do you have a (Substratum or otherwise) theme applied by any chance? If so, uninstall the layers (all of them) and try again.

Wait; I'm using "Color Filter" app as a workaround for known Moto G4/Plus display "burn" issue, as well
[Android Apps and Games] KickMeElmo:
For anyone only vaguely familiar, annoying though that may sound, you can schedule it. Just make a label with only YouTube in it (via the filters screen), then go to schedules and make one for that label using the "Detach user & system apps from market" task that runs every day at midnight (or whenever). And remember to enable it after creation.

[Android Apps and Games] paed808:
try installing with magisk, then when you update your rom, as long as magisk is installed after the rom zip is flashed (which should be automatically because of the addon.d script), it will preserve your iytbp as long as you have the same magisk.img

though im not sure if flashing the zip with the magisk setting will delete the app data. If you're good with scripting you could edit the script so it doesn't delete the data.

also, if you're wondering how to install with magisk, check post #2

this is assuming you have magisk as your root manager

You need the APK from post 2, not post 1. The one in post 1 is from different developer. And you don't need the magisk zip. You just change the "no" to a "yes" in the magisk part of the 'use_this_setting.sh'.
