I'm on a Pixel 2 with the stock system. So YouTube is a system app and can't be uninstalled. Should I force uninstall it with Titanium? Or just delete all the updates and disable it?

Same "waiting for WiFi" problem for me when I install the module in magisk manager. So I uninstalled it there and install it in TWRP. No problem anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] eddi0:
Trying to install through Magisk Manager...consistently fails. Error "-Mounting/data/magisk-merge.img to /dev/magisk_merge! /data/magisk_merge.img mount failed...Failed! Installation failed". I am on stable build of 8.1, not sure if that's what's causing the failure? Anyone know how to fix this? I saved the log but don't know where it's at or how to upload on here?

Thanks!!

Detach from Play Store doesn't work with AEX 5.0 (Oreo). It is working fine with AEX 4.5/4.6 (Nougat) though. It's not a big deal thought. But it's nice to not see from Play Store update section.

[Android Apps and Games] Vlip3:
The ROM I'm using has Viper4Android baked in so, yes.
[Android Apps and Games] johnholley123:
How did you install? If you did the manual install you have to extract the libraries or use the installer for 360 videos to work.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Sadly, the delay is caused by Viper. Turn off Viper and the delay will disappear. :crying:

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
None of them working? Won't install? Installs doesn't open? Crashes?

You have read post 2? And know how to properly post an issue?

It works fine on Oreo, so we know it's something with your setup/installation, you need to provide some info.
[Android Apps and Games] Jwtiyar:
Thank you solved i did uninstall update youtube app before installing the modile but after restarting didn't installed, again uninstalled youtube updates then installed. it means before installing and after installing i did uninstall youtube updates.
[Android Apps and Games] saurav_k:
I have installed the Magisk module version on my Lenovo Z2 plus. Being a system app, Greenify won't hibernate it (unless we use paid version of Greenify). Any alternative to apply greenify on it? I am facing some battery drain on my phone and suspecting iYTBP module to cause that as earlier with same setup was getting much better deep sleep and battery output.
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
This is just youtube modded, it does not drain any more battery than stock youtube
[Android Apps and Games] saurav_k:
But I can greenify youtube as I use nano gapps and install youtube as non system app but can't use on iYTBP being system app
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
You can use the non root iYTBP that is installed as a user app. You simply install the apk like any normal apk. All info needed in third post
[Android Apps and Games] mrk2815:
thanks to these wonderful developers for giving root and non root users an option to youtube without ads. tahst wat getting on my nerve with all thee nonsense ads getting in the way o my youtube experiences.

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

can tell you its working on OREo. 8.0 and now just got updated ot 8.1 on my first gen pixel. have the non root version as i dont have root at the moment on my oreo 8.1 first gen pixel device. also have it on three other older devices and its working perfectly.cant ask for anything else with this mod. big thanks and a big hand to the development efforts of this you tube mod.
[Android Apps and Games] pipyakas:
Even with the old h264 codec, hd videos would still only run at 60fps and there's no option to run at 30fps

I really hope that a "Disable 60fps videos" function would be added, when I watch a 60fps 30 of those frames are dropped anyway due to weak gpu
[Android Apps and Games] ndna:
Thanks for this!

A few questions as I'm new to this.

Is the microG apk safe to use if i'm using my google account that I use for everything or should I make a new one just for it?

If i want to delete the microG app at anytime how do I do that? as I can't see it on my phone other than the installer.

I disabled the original youtube app but then youtube links didn't work on Relay for Reddit so i re-enabled it and now they do. Can I have both apps enabled at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] night0crawler:
I think using microG app is safe.

If you want to uninstall microG app in any case, you can simply use (ESFile Explorer). In apps section of it, it shows every app that is installed on your phone, even which are not visible in app drawer. No Root Needed.

Also in ES File Explorer you can go to system apps and remove system apps (which you consider bloatware) as well, if you have root access.

Or else you simply can go to your System Settings > Apps > microG. Click on it and uninstall it.

Also yes you can have both apps enabled.

Hope this helps

Microg is open source so you can just check the code if you do not trust it

iYTBP crashes when trying to upload a local video. This is a sequel on this post.

Here's the iYTBP 12.45.54 upload crash I just captured. Of course, as a good XDA citizen I've searched for an update and found 12.45.56 here and here. I went for the black themed root version (my fav!) but alas, the crash is still there. Could be related to a camera accessing failure (even though I'm trying to upload a local file)? I see this:

I/CameraHardwareInterface( 406): Destroying camera 0

Just for all completeness, look at this marvellous install:

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Does that bug exist in the non themed version too ?

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Initially it was a regular non themed icon.

Then people starts to complain that it is harder for some to distinguish between regular youtube and iYTBP

That's why a black icon was introduced.
[Android Apps and Games] itsmedRb:
lol! I using rooted & only one YouTube app
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Go into your phone's settings/apps and scroll through for micro g. You can uninstall it there.

Micro g doesn't have a user interface so it doesn't show in app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
In TWRP right now getting ready for another ROM flash, will test and report back!

#Flashaholic
[Android Apps and Games] night0crawler:
You can change the app icon just for yourself in app drawer, if you are using a third party Launcher like Nova Launcher or others. They have an option to edit the name and icon of the app in app drawer and desktop. Just download an icon pack with default YouTube icon.

The other way is to download YouTube app image from Google(round or regular) anyone you prefer & use the same method to change the icon in app drawer like I told you above. Nova launcher have three options to choose from:

1. Choosing built in Icon

2. Choosing Icon from Icon pack

3. Choosing image as icon from your gallery.

Some people like the black themed icon as it is and I guess devs won't change it for just one guy. So this is the option for you. Have a good day. Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Nevermind, flashed it prior to the other ROM adventure.. It doesn't appear to happen on the non themed version, only on the black one.

Sizzled with Bacon ?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
So as I suspected it's a theme related issue.

Currently there are a few issues with theme, the one you mentioned and color glitch in live chat etc.

Right now I am super busy and my PC is still broken.

So I can't work on this.

You will have to wait a few weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:

I just put the installer in Magisk Manager folder, APK in download folder, and iYTBP_use_this_settings.sh in the root of my phone and installed the zip in Magisk Manager.
[Android Apps and Games] jokerfordead:
1. Uninstall YouTube completely and reboot.

Check if is still remain the folder in /system/app/YouTube folder (to be empty folder)

2. Download the YouTube Vanced apk and rename it to YouTube.apk

3. Copy YouTube.apk to /system/app/YouTube/ and set permission 644 (permission it's set automatically) no need another changes.

4. [Attention on step 3] Be careful with app that you download depending on your CPU (arm or arm x86 or arm x64).

5. Reboot!

[Android Apps and Games] Ygor Cortes:
I tried using the vanced installer, but then the YouTube app doesn't get actually installed. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my rom/Gapps doesn't come with YouTube installed? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm aware, but I used the installer through Magisk Manager. I'm on Magisk 14.5 if that helps.

Hi there,

Im trying to do post #3, but im stuck on finding the "modded micro-oG". Can anyone tell me where to find this download / link?

If im correct, I can simply install both APK's, as non root right?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You have to use the non root APK and micro g. They are both in the download link in post 2 with all the other versions. You cannot install the root version as non root user app, you have to use the non root version.
[Android Apps and Games] pnxsinned:
Oki, but which microG do I need to download?

I cannot find the "modded" version., like described in post #3.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
Have you checked the MediaFire link? You have 2 versions, in the name you can clearly say the difference :) One for iYTBP, one for Youtube....

EDIT:

Or follow the link from [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION], anyways, if he found it out, don't now where's the problem for others.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Right here where it says micro g. The link is in post 2. It's on the same page (link) where you got the APK for iytbp. Not the old micro g, just micro g.
[Android Apps and Games] pnxsinned:
Cheers, will use that one.

I was assuming, there was a "modded" version of microG for the non rooted version, but I guess it's all the same version.

"How to fix Login & Chromecast issue ?

1. Download the modded microG"

So here started the confusion for me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
In the end, we sorted it out so that's a win-win for all ;)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
There is only 1 for iytbp (well 1 new and a couple old) and it's the modded one. Root versions don't need it. All the ones in this thread are "modded" to work with iytbp. Glad you got it sorted. Enjoy the ad-free experience.

3) Reboot to recovery, flash module and wipe cache
[Android Apps and Games] crowley_07:
Unfortunately, this did not work. I also tried deleting the app completey again, reinstalled, and installled the module from TWRP. Still getting ads. Perhaps it's just incompatible with my phone for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:
Wait... does the background playback actually work? It's been known for a while now that the ad-blocking part does not always work. That is influenced in part by how Google provisions ads. No one really knows what factors affect it though, as some people never get ads while others get them often even with adblocking enabled. Banner ads should be gone though regardless, as those visual elements were removed by arter97 in the modded apks.
[Android Apps and Games] crowley_07:
Not sure how the background playback is supposed to work, blocking ads was my main interest but turning the screen off closes playback, switching apps closes playback etc. so I'm guessing not.

But I don't see any banner ads, only playback ads. So I think that part is working. Thanks for the support.

For me, all of the arm apks found in this thread work for background play. However, only the ones created by [MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION] in the OP keep the ads away for me. The ads seem to return eventually when using other apks for some reason. Weird.

Although I am using Magisk, I manually install [MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION]'s apks by deleting YouTube then copying the appropriate apk to \system\app\youtube.

Out of curiosity, what happens if I install a minAPI16 version on my API25 device ? Does minAPI21 give better performance or something ?

Btw It would be nice to have DPI variants like arter97 does, just saying ^^

How safe is MicroG as it requires my password?
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
It's open source so you can always check the code on github if you're worried
[Android Apps and Games] tonyafc:
Honestly I wouldn't know what i was looking for. Are you using the app?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Micro g is fine. It's a version of Google play services, that's why it uses your password. It logs you in to YT.

Tens of thousands of ppl using it for various reasons. Some ppl use it in place of g play services for battery purposes
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
It's more secure than big G himself.

A lot of people use it as an alternative to the big G (me personally also).

[MENTION=5849355]tonyafc[/MENTION] You can't sign into another YouTube app on the same device so micro G is another Play services so that you can. Micro G is not asking for your password , Big G is.
[Android Apps and Games] khriztianjs:

[Android Apps and Games] access9:
No need to get defensive. You said this micro g was more secure than Googles version.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
You have a dedicated thread for that.

As [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION] said, it's a lighter version and you can control every aspect of it.

Half of the **** big G uses is removed, all the stuff to gather more data as much as possible.

This is heavily OT so I would suggest to check that thread.

You can throw me a PM for more info on it or links or references.

Cheers!

EDIT: one more thing, imagine how much data you already gave around to be sold, your concern about the password is valid, but you should have bigger concerns.
