It says files aren't there? Where can I find microG.

Edit: nvm I found it. Thank you so much for this guys <3.

Everything working good on s8+.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
I think the fire stick checks the youtube package name to send commands. As the non root version changes the package name, the commands don't work. I could be totally wrong ??
[Android Apps and Games] booci:
why no regular version?
[Android Apps and Games] dibt359:
Is the background playback more consistent than the og mod?
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
So universal 2.4 beta installer is just for magisk, otherwise we should use just universal?
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
iYTBP uses the background playback method of Official YouTube. It just enables YouTube Red. OGYouTube uses their own background playback mod afaik
[Android Apps and Games] roy92:
You will have to attach logs for the devs so that the problem can be known. Are you sure it's not one of the settings on meizu's rom that blocks microG's connection to the internet?? Or an adblocker?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
iYTBP DOES NOT enable YouTube Red.

iYTBP is not a replacement for YouTube Red.
[Android Apps and Games] XUTOS-83:
Because i can't find it...
[Android Apps and Games] alecander:
yes, yes I forgot to install it and now everythink works. Thousand hugs from me, so glad that I find your project :D:D:D:D

OP3T

8.0 BETA
[Android Apps and Games] dibt359:
I have no gapps and have installed microg.

Can't open YT, says I need Google play.

Tried installing 5he microg for YT from here, but the package name conflicts with the MicroG I have already.

??

What should I do
[Android Apps and Games] lolo33:
Hum no I checked the different security settings without success. And I have no adblocker.

Maybe it lacks a google service. By default there are no google services on these Meizu.

But i can login on the official youtube app.
[Android Apps and Games] mdfarazb2:
Didn't work Sir :( Placed that .sh file in /system/addon folder then dirty flashed the rom but the YT app again went away:(... Is this related to the apk folder? I mean I'm putting the apk in /system/priv-app . Should I put it in /system/app ? ( leaving .sh file in addon folder) :confused:

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
yes i think only /system/app is supported by the script for the apk location.

EDIT

: hold on i forgot if u use my version from universal installer (97-iYTBP.sh) u can specify

the folder in variable SYSAPPFOLDER=/system/app (this is the default setting, just change it to priv-app if u want).

i added this to adress these differences in app folder location. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] usr3:
Does Webm (in stats) mean the app is using the vp9 codec? Flipping the toggle does not change it (codec used).
[Android Apps and Games] xlollomanx:
Have u tried to force close yt every time u change that setting?

Sent from my Oneplus One
[Android Apps and Games] usr3:
Yes, multiple times. I am using non-root version on my stock Oneplus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] mdfarazb2:
Thanks Sir! I'll first try to put the apk in system/app folder and will check if it works (Hope it does coz it's the easiest way:silly: ) .. If not then will put back the apk to priv-app and will edit that variable address in 97-iYTBP.sh from system/app to priv-app .

Thanks again !:)
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Yes, Oneplus 5 supports vp9 by default so the toggle will have no effect. There's no need to enable that toggle.
[Android Apps and Games] roy92:
So you don't have play store installed? YouTube vanced does use play services so that could be the problem. And if you have playstore then you have play services.

I guess then your option is to root the phone and flash gapps or rather just use the root version.
[Android Apps and Games] lolo33:
I have playstore, youtube, gmail and all works perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Use the microg mentioned here as it works for the other apps too. Just uninstall your version n install this one
[Android Apps and Games] Wiciaki:
On Mediafire, the arm64 480dpi one is actually black themed.
[Android Apps and Games] dibt359:
I did what you suggested, but it still does not work unfortunately. :rolleyes::eek:

I am using the magisk YT version if that makes a difference
[Android Apps and Games] PeterAllEggsUnder:
Anybody else experiencing the problem that youtube is not recognizing what you are watching/what you did watch?

Youtube is still showing me on the Start page all videos that i already watched and not really new ones because of this behavior. Is there a way around this?

Edit: Never mind... read the FAQ :) Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] Napster1994:
How to uninstall it completely ?
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
Depens how you installed it. Either delete the youtube folder in /system/app or remove the magisk module in magisk manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcide:
I don't see the API26 for the latest version. Is minAPI21 okay to use on Nexus 6p running 8.0?
[Android Apps and Games] comat0se:
It won't have PIP, just wait for API 26 version.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
[MENTION=4348400]adsubzero[/MENTION] [MENTION=2125413]comat0se[/MENTION]

Another user reported PiP working using an API21 YouTube (instead of 26)

PiP is working for me also. (Along with all the other Goodies :) )

Edit.

Never mind, I am a dumb ass. :D

Found the Picture-in-picture settings under Special app access.
[Android Apps and Games] Shantanu:
I realized that its not the substratum themes that is causing the crash...something else is
[Android Apps and Games] roy92:
Then you have play services. Did you check whether microG has permission for internet in the settings?

Try getting a logcat and post it here. If you don't know how to do that PM me.
[Android Apps and Games] lolo33:
I have all the permissions enabled by default for the microG.

On my other device all permission are disabled during installation and it still works.

PM sent.

[Android Apps and Games] lolo33:

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Why does the app name says microG services core ?

I didn't name it like that
[Android Apps and Games] storm68:
Mine says the same.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
It shouldn't.

I distinctly remember naming my modded version as the following
[Android Apps and Games] storm68:
If that's the case someone did something they shouldn't have, if you know what I mean. Not cool if that's the case.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Mines named 'MicroG for Youtube Vanced'

Missing arm64 480dpi in red :(
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
thx, yes indeed we found that in parallel :)

maybe it works now :fingers-crossed:

hehe yes back to the roots, but obviously a bit "rosted" :)

ok lets see how it plays now with the just re-upped versions. these are now merged with latest version of [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] and have the missing changes included so this should it actually be now, sry for the rumble. (btw. many thx to him and to OP [MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION] for the merge pre-work and for letting this happen here! at least for now :). such things are getting almost lost during all the excitement *g*)

[Android Apps and Games] dyval:
Can Substratum be applied to this YouTube MOD possibly? :)
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Yes. Currently using A Swift Dark theme. You'll need to use substratum themes that do not use TBO Theme Ready Gapps.

That's my preference actually. Themes that don't use TBO's Gapps.

Edit: Ignore the apk. Lol. Fat fingered.
[Android Apps and Games] dyval:
Thanks for confirming bro. :good: Ahaha that apk would be handy though.. :laugh:

Probably not, offline functionality is geo-locked. If you really want to use offline functionality, use a YouTube variant such as OGYouTube.

[Android Apps and Games] Normas Interruptor:
Hey,

I have just found the latest YouTube 12.11.57 apk

My ROM is based on ARM64 structure and that apk doesn't have any DPI.

It has ability to adaway and background playback feature.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862718144

I hope it will help you to make another update for all.
[Android Apps and Games] KittySparkles:
Has a non-magisk flashable zip been made?
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:
You can use arter97's installer to flash the modded APK.

1) Download the installer from arter97's thread, you won't need to download his apk.

2) Download the modded YouTube APK of your choice (make sure it's using the right CPU architecture)

3) Rename your APK to:

youtube_(anything)-adaway.apk

The (anything) can be replaced with any text of your choice

4) Move your renamed APK to /sdcard/download (default download path)

5) Flash arter97's installer zip

The zip is cleverly written to automatically delete all stock YouTube apps and past updates from both /system and /data. It detects the modified YouTube app based on its naming scheme, so make sure you have named it correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] KittySparkles:
U

Thanks my guy. That's outstanding.

It worked. This is amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] Issei Aono:
????Excellent work running at 100%; It could in a future update add a black version, for the screens amoled, please.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Substratum already works. As long as the theme you are using isn't dependent on TBO.
[Android Apps and Games] Anova's Origin:
The Swift Black substratum theme works on non-OMS ROMs. Not only does it theme YouTube, it can overlay dark (true black) themes on most standard Google apps and a handful of other common third-party apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Tommydorns:
I'm using TBOs version of YouTube with the mods Baked in.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki013:
Do you have a download link or can you explain how you got it to work?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yes! There's no comparison based on my long term use of both mods. IYTBP is virtually flawless for me.

[Android Apps and Games] Lownita:
Why isn't there an unthemed version of arm64 480dpi? Or is it just a typo maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Do you mean this one?
[Android Apps and Games] roy92:
It's the one by Razerman. The one uploaded on mediafire/AFH didn't work so I provided link to it to check if that one worked. But it didn't. Hope you don't mind.

Anyway I have PMed instructions about getting a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] Lownita:
Exactly
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Then it's a lack of searching skills on your part, rather than a missing version, lol :p

edit: ...reading skills on my part :D Sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] tassos_chry:
That's why he said unthemed
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
this method works thanks but i have to do it everytime i reboot my phone is that how its supposed to work. when i reboot the youtube app is in the app drawer is "got it" and it wont open until i update it then uninstall the updates
[Android Apps and Games] nitrous²:
That's odd. I tried reproducing your issue with no luck. I'm afraid I can't help you =(
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Eh... confusing. That is the unthemed version, the themed version is in the "ROOT-THEMED-BLACK" folder and has a "(black-v2.22)" suffix.

Edit: oh, the one in the main folder has that as well! Can't believe I missed that, I read it several times haha. [MENTION=4134586]Lownita[/MENTION] you are most correct! I'm sorry... [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION], there probably is a typo in the main folder of 12.40.59 for the API21 arm64-v8a 480dpi version.
[Android Apps and Games] BoyOman:
nice jop my friend
[Android Apps and Games] tassos_chry:
It's not a typo. I'm using this exact apk too and it's indeed the black themed one

[Android Apps and Games] ju1da:
I think, now min21 YT is mainly targeted for oreo, although it definitely works on some others. That what I red from apkmirror description. I guess, there will be no min26 for a while.

[Android Apps and Games] ju1da:
This
[Android Apps and Games] theduke7:
yeah, i don't know if they'll release anymore 26 but i did the same when i read their description on apkmirror, so i tried it specially it's marked v8a (which is Oreo i think)...,

i think it'll be more obvious once more devices get Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
All you seem to be correct. The minAPI21 seems to have all the Oreo features now (mainly PiP) so there most likely won't be a minAPI26 versions anymore.

EDIT: It's also that my Nexus 5X updated the official youtube to version 1240603400 (arm64	Android 5.0+	nodpi).
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Jain:
Accidently Flashed API21 on Oreo , Device ( Nexus 5x ) Got Looped .

is There any Uninstaller To Flash ( Thru TWRP ) To recover My device ?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Yes use the uninstall configuration file and use installer in twrp. Details in the second post
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Jain:
Thanks Tho.

But The Phone Booted :D

Device - Nexus 5x

Android - 8.0

[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Phone booted? Then u are good now?
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
May I ask why there wouldn't be any api26 versions anymore? There's lots of us on Oreo who will be left outdated if that's the case.
[Android Apps and Games] johnholley123:
I've been using the minAPI21 versions on Oreo with no problem, PiP works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
This is a minimal API level. 26 is above 21 so there actually is no need for a special 26 version. And u get the updates thru this version then.

Hence of that pip feature merge it seems so that the API26 is obsolete. Google spares some work = spares "us" some work too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
The min API 21 has a Target of API 26 now. That's the one to use. Everything works. Happy flashing
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
You are not left outdated. It's basically an Oreo version which just has support range of API21 - API26. Google pushes out the minAPI21 version to Oreo devices too. Don't think they would do that if there were any Oreo ONLY versions coming.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
Wow...really! I had no clue api21 would work on Oreo. Thanks for informing me on that!

[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Thought background playback was suddenly failing, checked on a device with supersu and one with magisk, each time I tapped YouTube into background it stopped working, then I updated to the latest version but issue persisted, really weird but coincidentally I found out that this failing of background playback is tied to a specific video, didn't thought the background playback function is video/content specific, so that certain videos fails to have the functionality... Not a big issue but I thought it could be potentially interesting to [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] and the rest of you, so here's the video to try out yourself:

[youtube]mkM8HUu7_do[/youtube]

and a log from me having it failing twice in a row by pressing home button and then recents button back to Youtube pressing play and same again... Consistent over reboots and app updates

Nice weekend everyone! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Yes, it's been mentioned before as well. Some videos can be blocked from being able to play in the background. I don't know if there is a setting for it or is it something that YouTube does without content creators permission. This happens very rarely though and on few other videos that I've seen being blocked have become "backgroundable" in the next few days. There is actual code in the smali files that say something like "This video is not backgroundable" (or something like that).
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Ahhh, thanks for feedback, very interesting, never happened to me before, never read about it in all the months this thread exists or even the xposed version exists... So, case closed I guess :)
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Yeah, as said it's rare. I myself haven't ran into it on my own but I've seen the code and tested on videos reported by few.

Search search search ;) (Yeah, kind of hard to search without a proper word)
