People actually using this mod are such a tiny fraction of actual Android users, I don't think Google would even bother. Distributing something over a website is another story though.
[Android Apps and Games] reelaax:
Can you please think about non-root users ??
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
If you want this without root then just use the file manager in twrp or an aroma file manager you can flash in twrp.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Actually it is possible, many modded apps without any websites was forced to shutdown.

It's not difficult. Follow what the first post said. Basically do what it says with making the folders and put the apk in the folder and set the permissions and reboot.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Just download and flash this and that is it. Or do the manual way I said

I'm using ZaneZam's latest apk on my Oneplus One. I've used both the modified installer flashing method (having both apk and installer in download folder and flashing through twrp) as well as the manual method of creating a folder, moving to system/app, setting permissions and rebooting. After phone boots the youtube app is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

EDIT

Just tried with previous version as well but same result

EDIT2

Got it to work
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
OP updated, rebased on latest versions from Arter97 (12.17.54).

PS: I see ZaneZam has already posted his version... they might be identical, I honestly don't know :D Mine are made with my original method, and as I saw Arter updated his packages I thought it would be nice to update the official iYTB as well.

Enjoy ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Is it? It looks exactly the same as the old version to me... but I know a lot of these kind of changes are made server side these days, so they might not have "activated" the new ui for me yet.

Thanks for this modded youtube, you are a legend!

One thing I wanted to ask you master, if you remember there used to be an option in earlier youtube versions something called "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video". This basically when a video starts limits it to a certain quality. What I want is that can you add an option where it plays a particular set quality every time (like 360p)? Cuz the default behaviour currently seen is that it plays depending upon the speed of your connection and even if you change it to something like 360p it resets everytime you launch the app later. For guys who have limited data plans, this might be quite useful. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
[MENTION=6610925]ashutoshmn[/MENTION] I assume you're talking about mobile, not WiFi? In that case there already is such feature:

[Android Apps and Games] shamsul007:
https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/yourtube-t3544684

This is what you want, can choose default resolution, pane. Really miss this module (as every video buffer at 480p, requiring manual change), wish there was a Magisk alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
Picture-in-picture mode coming to YouTube ! Hopefully this will get enabled on the mod with no trouble ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gigobaito:
at least nodpi arm would be cool, since previous magisk modules are unavaiable; ty
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:
You can switch out the apk inside the zip with the nodpi one. I only uploaded it 480 dpi as that was the only one available at that time.
[Android Apps and Games] Gigobaito:
I cant seem to change permissions no matter what I try tho, thats the problem and why I was asking for your module

(Probably a rom related issue, and I dont rlly wanna clean install just for bg on youtube)
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
What means you can't change permissions, did you give root privileges to the root Explorer you're using?

I mean it's a basic function and if your rom regrets that (which I doubt) it's not worth to keep it anyways..

But your decision of course

[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Well, I used to use mixplorer to perform this, now I use the magisk module but also ES file explorer should work as long as you grant root privileges, never used SD maid for this, have you checked root privileges for the app you're using? It's shouldn't crash of course, you can take a log to report that to SD maid thread / developer...

yeah sd maid has root access + storage permission, so I guess I'm going to report this to the dev; ty

[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
AdAway doesn't block Youtube ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I know it's a long shot but maybe it can "help" when a patched YT is present...? I'm just trying to figure out why so many people are struggling with this.

[MENTION=7367137]fipm[/MENTION], what device are you using it on? If it's Google branded (e.g. Pixel), that may be another cause for the patched version still getting ads.
[Android Apps and Games] fipm:
Thanks for the help. Adaway is running on both my devices. As far as I know youtube ignores default dns settings anyway. My devices are a Nexus 9 and a Pixel XL both running the latest pure nexus rom. Up until two days ago iYTBP was working fine on both. In the past two days I tried multiple versions of the apk, but I still get unskippable ads. background play is working fine. Let me know if there are logs or other info I can provide to help debug this.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I'm afraid you had a few predecessors in here with devices from the same Google family. There seems to be something going on in those that works around these blocks. I'm just guessing here (don't own any G devices) but it could be possible that this works better with a ROM that takes a greater distance from the Google playground (like RR, Omni, Slim, etc.). Maybe just spoofing another device type could do the trick, who knows (you can try it using this, try A0001). The big G works in mysterious ways...

Sizzled with Bacon ?
[Android Apps and Games] YouColdYet:
Proof ?
[Android Apps and Games] dy2592:
been testing this for the past few days. Working great. have not seen an ad and background play is working when i need it. I hated it when the video had to stop when i needed to do something else on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
Just switched to a Magisk version so far so good. Reason being I went back to T-Mo and wanted my WiFi calling. Required me giving up resurrection remix and going back to factory ROM with Magisk to get what I wanted.

Viper 5.9

12.17.54 arm64

Still kicking it on RR with MultiROM using the manual injection files same version.
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
No.

When you do that, it's your Google cast device (for example, the chromecast) that is downloading the video, not your YouTube app. So your YouTube app being adblocked doesn't have any effect.

Loving this app! I've been putting off upgrading to nougat (more than half a year) because I wouldn't be able to use the xposed youtube mods. I'm in heaven, thanks master_t and zam!!

[MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION] any chance to merge the xposed module 'youtube swipe to seek' into this? That would be icing on the cake!!
[Android Apps and Games] YouColdYet:
No bro. I'm gonna try original YouTube with the magisk module to see if that would fix the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] UserNamist:
Apologies for the newbie question, I'll include as many details as I can so hopefully someone can help me out.

I can't get the Magisk module to work.

First I downloaded Youtube from the Play Store (version 12.17.54)

Then downloaded the module zip file from here (arm64)

Opened up Magisk, navigated to 'Modules' and clicked the yellow '+' symbol and selected the downloaded zip file.

I clicked yes when prompted to reboot device. This, strangely, made my phone boot-loop until I removed the battery and reinserted it. It boots up fine now. :confused:

In Magisk, it says the module is enabled, but none of the features work in Youtube (there's still ads and playback stops immediately when Youtube is sent to the background).

Help?

edit: Nevermind.

I thought since Youtube wasn't integrated into my ROM that I didn't have to disable and uninstall updates to the app

(I have no idea how Magisk works lmao).

Anyway, I did that and it's working flawleesly

Many thanks to everyone responsible for making this possible and eliminating my last reason to stay on Marshmallow/xposed
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I had the exact same problem with flashing the Magisk module. What worked for me is manually copying the appropriate iYTBP apk for your device to \system\app then reboot.

Note: You must place the apk in a folder first or android won't recognize it in system\app. See OP for more details on the manual install method.
[Android Apps and Games] UserNamist:

This works perfect. So thankful for the background playback. Took me a few tries to get a right. First I tried putting the folder in /apps not /system/apps which didn't work. Then I had to find the right one for the pixel XL. I was using 86_64 at first, nothing happened. As soon as I put the ARM64 version in the system/apps/Youtube folder with the correct permissions it worked flawlessly. Damnit I love background playback without ads! This is amazing!

It is true this method will stop the app from automatically updating but the Play Store will always show you that you have an update waiting for you that you don't want. After spending literally hours of time searching, I have not found a way to permanently hide unwanted app updates from appearing in the list. Apps like Hide Updates In Play Store and Titanium Backup only hide app updates temporarily until reboot then the apps are reset to automatically update again. Argh!!!
