One of the most exciting features of the new universal installer is the ability to place the detach.plz in the download folder, next to the apk and the universal installer, then flash the installer in twrp (or install as a module in magisk manager).

This will detach youtube from the playstore and prevent the updates from showing up.

I think it's only working with magisk at the moment, based on what some SuperSU users posted.
[Android Apps and Games] cudi90:
Can you tell me where to find the detach. plz file?

So you need to download the YouTube. apk, the Universal Installer and for detach. plz to the download folder? Link to detach. plz? Thank you:)

Use the non root version to not be bothered to update YouTube, as the universal installer doesn't work on all devices. Links for all the apks and micro g are found in the second post or here is you're lazy: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=170196 .

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] has already figured out how to hide watermarks, probably going to be rolled out and within the next few releases of this mod. In the meantime hang tight and be grateful for the hard work the devs put into this. I can also confirm that his test build hides the watermark on the video you were watching, so wait for it in the stable release rollout or just join the telegram group and test it using the test build from there.
[Android Apps and Games] cudi90:
Super! Thank you very much! It worked wonderfully! Finally I don't see this annoying update tip from YouTube anymore.

Thank you again! Great work you do here!

Sorry to bump my request again, but do you have any idea why the icon does not appear? Anyone used this mod on a lg nexus 5 marshmallow?
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
That used to happen to me before with the installer. I got tired and began doing manual installation. Use Search for the how to. Quite easy and you'll find one of my posts talking about how to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Try making sure all YouTube updates are deleted as well, from data/app and system/app, and their folders. Then reboot system, then boot to recovery and flash installer. Make sure you have newest installer and only 1 YouTube APK.

We only have enabled/disabled some features of YouTube.

We didn't add any services of our own.

Everything you see and use is done by google.

So, blame google!

[Android Apps and Games] KLit75:
Someone posted earlier they were going to try and patch the already patched version to remove ads. I'm just curious if it's been tried and what the results were...

Youtube Adaway and background playback are the only xposed mods I REALLY miss.:(
[Android Apps and Games] ranaxda200:
Is there anyway to get it work via Android terminal or titanium backup installation?

Edit: copying the apk to the system/app, setting permission and reboot worked like a charm. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] ranaxda200:
With lucky patcher you won't be able to install substratum theme so better avoid it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jsilver73:
Seriously, I must have total noobitus or something, everyone of the sites does not let me download -

[MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION]: would you mind if someone put a mirror up to afh or similar if you aren't able to do that yourself please?

Ok - I persisted and found the download button at the bottom of one of those dubious sites

Would you like me to mirror on AFH to save others the problems that I had navigating?

Thanks for your work, looking forwards to using it ?

Edit:

With a lot of help from my friend [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] who created this magisk module for the ad free version of YouTube I simply changed the apk for the one found here that enables background playback and it works a treat (just flash in magisk manager and reboot -will survive dirty flashes)

This is for arm64 devices, if you have arm or x86 just swap the apk in the module for the relevant one.

That is correct, I accidentally updated it as well but the "uninstall updates" does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have since disconnected YT from Play Store by using this disconnect script.

Magisk not necessary as I'm still ad free on my setup.

I'm surprised at how many members use auto-update. I always read the changelogs for any app and then glance at the reviews to see if there's any issue with the updated version before I update. This goes for any application. If it's not broke, don't fix it. :)

That can't be related to the app, it's simply streaming in the background, nothing CPU intensive. Your problem is more likely related to your kernel. I've been using this app to stream for hours without any heating issues.

It will install iytbp detached like a magisk module. Then reboot and yo're gone!

i can confirmed that this "Android system' issue related on YouTube app.

does anyone having this 'issue' aswell? or any workaround?

thanks alot.

Hi laura

As I understand it, by default VP9 isn't enabled when you first install and I didnt enable it. So reading [MENTION=2831211]ZaneA[/MENTION]ms bug report todo -

- using the most recent version - yes

- descripe the proplem as good as possible - Youtube_12.32.60-1232602300_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)(grey-black-v2.16)-vanced-backgroundplayback

- if possible add a logcat via catlog app from playstore) - would this help in this instance..?

- add screenshot of the settings screen (MUST) - will do.

Never shows in launcher

Hi

Can you use this (iYTBP 12.32.60) on a Note 2 N7100 running a rooted stock 4.4.2?

I have run the installer but nothing i try will get the Youtube icon to show after reboot, in the launcher or anywhere. I have since upgraded the recovery to TWRP 3.1.1-1 and it flashes the chosen iYTBP APK successfully. I can see the Youtube.apk in the system/app folder. I have also tried to install it manually. The permissions are set to folder 755 and apk 644. I have tried various APKs such as minAPI16 ARM nodpi and 320dpi, with theme and no theme.

I removed the system factory Youtube app prior to installation using Titanium Backup. I have tried the fix where you download the normal Youtube app from the Play store but i never get the option to uninstall updates to roll back to the system app (iYTBP). I only ever have the option of uninstalling the current Play store app entirely.

Lastly, i have also tried to install it on a Tab3 TM210 7.0 running a rooted Kitkat 4.4.2 but same result. Nothing shows after the reboot but i can see the APK in the system/ app folder.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry if it has been pointed out before here, but to fix Vance universal installer errors when installing detach or attach magisk modules, just delete the placeholder file inside the system folder in the zip.

EDIT: still doesn't work on a clean installation. It worked when upgrading magisk 13.3 to 14 through the manager, then flashing Vanced installer in TWRP. In a direct magisk 14 installation it still produces an !!! Magisk is not installed !!! error.

Hey thanks for this ! Can HDR support be ported to this app? (For all devices, i don't know if youtube checks your device model)
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Why do you even want HDR support when your display doesn't support it ?

What difference does it make ?

1080p+ HDR videos shutter/lags even in S8, so it will definitely will shutter on all phones.

Convince me why porting HDR mode is a good idea
[Android Apps and Games] DraconianGothic:
Got it working in the end

An update.

I was finally able to get it all working.

On the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 running a rooted 4.4.2, i was able to simply copy the 'Youtube_12.32.60-1232602310_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(160dpi)(grey-black-v2.16)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk' into the system/app directory using a root enabled file explorer app. I didn't need to rename the apk or anything. It immediately installed as a system app and all is good. In the end, there was no need to use the installer zip at all.

For the N7100 running a rooted stock 4.4.2, i couldn't simply copy the 'Youtube_12.32.60-1232602310_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(320dpi)(grey-black-v2.16)-vanced-backgroundplayback.apk' into the system/ app folder as the file explorer would not let me move it into the system/ app folder. I had to run the installer zip within TWRP which placed a folder (with Youtube.apk inside) into the system/ app folder. I then moved the Youtube.apk out of the system/app sub folder using the root enabled file explorer and directly into the the system/ app folder. It then installed as a system app and all is good.
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
If it stutters on S8 I can't see it being useful on anything other than a comparable phone with a custom kernel - and very, very few phones compare to S8 in terms of speed right now. Just my .02.. if you're correct about S8, which I have to assume you are (you do know your stuff).. this would be useful to less than 1% of users.

And why would we do that ?

Which all devices does currently have a HDR supported display screen ?

If S8+ lags on 1080p+ resolutions, all other devices are gonna lag like hell maybe even on lower resolutions too.

Why would we add a feature like that which doesn't support 99% of the devices because of NO HDR supported screen ?

Even if it is a user's choice, many is gonna enable that and complain video lag/shutters, high CPU usage, severe battery drain et cetera.

1440p 60fps HDR lags a bit on my Pixel XL. So much that it's not enjoyable.

1440p 60fps non-HDR (using your iYTBP apk) runs smooth as silk!

Since I can't tell the difference between these as far as quality goes, I would have to agree with you about not going through the trouble of updating it with HDR support.
