I use non-root version, and it works good, i just have some (a lot) questions to ask.

- can you make youtube background playback to show notification all time like xposed module?

- can you make layout switch between new and old one?

- can you add auto-replay function like in YourTube + xposed module?

- can you add switch to disable double tap to seek function on YouTube settings?

- can you force enable ExoPlayer instead of default one?

- can you disable share function, i find it useless?

Sorry if i am annoying with a lot of questions, but if all of this be implemented, YouTube app would be perfect.

Sorry for bad English.

And speed option is really cool, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Skulltec:
Works perfectly on Android O - Nexus 5X

thank you very much for this :)

How is your experience with the non root app? Can you log in, ads gone?
[Android Apps and Games] SkaboXD:
Yup, i can log in without any problems, sometimes in video suggestion is showing in up-right corner of the video. I didn't see unskipable or any kind of video ad.
[Android Apps and Games] Skulltec:
i believe video suggestions is sometime else than ads. Thanks for feedback :D
[Android Apps and Games] SkaboXD:

Hey there, I just updated to the new Oreo image on my 6p and I dont seem to be able to get this install to work anymore. Both the Magisk module and the Root method result in the attached screenshot, basically the Youtube app but with the name "%1$s". The non-root install just doesn't finish and gives me an error. Any advice? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] elite-fusion:
Hello,

I have an S8+ on Tmo and want Youtube without ads and background playback. Is there anyway to accomplish this since there is no root for S8+?
[Android Apps and Games] tatoo069sv:
There are 2 options really.

1) use non root apk

2) root your phone. Yes there is root available now

Please read OP for non root apk
[Android Apps and Games] elite-fusion:

Oh man.. can you please share a link for that or PM me a copy? I am trying to keep everything Magisk clean and organized but having 2 different YouTubes installed is fun as well. I have been striking out on pinpointing that exact version or the app that installs to data/app.I appreciate any assistance! My eyes are going cross-eyed trying tio isolate the black background, BG playback straight install app. Or the Magisk module zip. I must be getting older.

Magisk Modules Updated to 12.32.55-vanced:

Original Mod updated 22 Aug. see Post#2.

Available Versions: All minAPI21

arm (nodpi) / (480)

arm64 (nodpi) / (480)

x86 not yet available

x86_64 not yet available

Themed versions not yet available. If you use Substratum then either PitchBlack or SwiftBlack are working great on this latest update.

AndroidFileHost: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=192960

FYI: Main module now uses v4 Magisk template. This is not backward compatible with any Magisk version lower than v13.1. If you are still on Magisk 12, use the modules in v3 folder.

If you need a specific dpi or a version compatible with older versions of Magisk, and the mod is available in post#2 then just ask.

Big thanks and credits to Anova's Origin, Razerman, ZaneZam and Laura Almeida.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:

Still can't get it to install for some reason. Just to be clear, do I download both zip files and the apk, leave them all in my download folder and just install the mod zip. With or without the YouTube app installed?

When I did it in recovery mode it just uninstalled YouTube, had the new YouTube app in system/app, but I didn't have an icon for the app for some reason. I got the one from the first post to work back in the day, but when I tried to move to the one in the second post I must've broken something because I wasn't even able to go back to the first one.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
1. Be sure that the current version of YT is uninstalled.

2. Download both the installer .zip and the YT file you need.

3. The YT files needs to be in the default "Download" folder, the .zip doesn't matter

4. Reboot to recovery, run the .zip and check via log if everything went successfully.

5. Boot to system. You should see that YT app has been installed if everything went fine in the recovery.

Be sure you downloaded the last available version and the correct version for your architecture.

Cheers!

How can i access the iYTBP settings in order to change preferred video quality switch etc??

I'm using the latest magisk version in post #3.
[Android Apps and Games] Chrisaa63:
The same way you would any other YouTube app. 3 dots or a cog on the video. Should stay to whatever you set it to.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
There should be additional tab "iYTBP Settings" in the normal youtube settings, right above "About" -tab. If it isn't there, you don't have the modded youtube.

[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
If YOU build it they will come. :silly:

That said don't expect a release anytime soon. The reason there is no themed version is explained here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73494911&postcount=3426

If Substratum is available for your device you can use the Swift Dark theme for the grey/black YouTube. If not then the previous version still works to block ads and all the other goodness.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:

I don't want to be a bother and don't want this to be a heavily nodded app. But in the future can you add the default screen to when we open the app it either goes straight to subscription or trending.

With android 7 or higher, you can just create a shortcut to trending, subscriptions or search. It's already in the original youtube app.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]Just wondering but is there any chance of picture in picture mode being added even if only on Oreo because it works in chrome on full screen videos but for the YouTube app it requires a YouTube red subscription. If it is even possible to add it in any way then that would be great! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Works perfectly fine in Oreo with the same method as in Oreo developer previews. The only thing is that they removed the navigation bar customization menu from the release version. Fortunately there is an app which can still modify those (tutorial in XDA) and then you can add the, was it 171? keycode to a button.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
Is that working on this modded YouTube app without a red subscription? Also, please do link the threads with the tutorials as I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
It works even on the original one without YouTube Red subscription :)

I'll link you tomorrow because I don't want to start searching with my phone.

However the menu enabling is in some of the pretty new XDA news posts. And the key code thing can be found easily by googling something along the lines of "how to enable picture in picture right now in Oreo". Once the tutorial tells you about adding a keycode, that's the one.

Edit: The menu enabling was there in the front page of XDA labs app :)

I suppose they found out for iYTBP and can't believe how good it is as an app that works like a charm, without ADS.

Keep up the good work devs, appreciated!

While it's somewhat very un-comforting to comment on a project that heavily depended on my own,

I have to say kudos for everyone who worked on this mod.

It took me a lot of time to port Wanam's Xposed module to apply on a smali level.

It worked well for months, but later got stuck with Google's new ad logics.

I don't know what magic folks over here had done, but they managed to bring an adblocking method that's way simpler than mine with tons of other features. I must admit, I suck at modding.

(I find "preferred quality" most useful, as my network connection can easily stream max resolution on YouTube.)

So, kudos and thank you.

I've open-sourced my existing solution, if anyone is interested in.

https://github.com/arter97/ytpatch_scripts

I'll now contribute to this mod directly(if maintainers here approve it lolz) and abandon my own mod.

First list of my contribution would be : "Please zipalign it"

I've just downloaded arm64/480dpi apk myself and found that while it worked wonderfully well, it was not zipaligned.

To all apk modders, please zipalign your final apks. Non-zipaligned apks have a huge impact on overall system performance, so please do.
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Thank you for your hard work, my adfree build wouldn't have been possible without your apks.

My mod is somewhat "on pause", since the Vanced version is now way more advanced, and I'm using that as well ;)

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] : I've edited the first post to point out that your versioon is currently the recommended one.
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
aye aye capt. zipaligning will be added for the next build which should be coming soon! :)

btw. thank u man for nice statement and we (i think i can speak for the others too) can

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
At first I was pointing at [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/ but then all these wired issues pop up because in some oems framework will be missing that color and will cause FC (resource not found). In some other, oems have changed that particular color in the framework to something else which will look weird/awekward.

Finally I decided to add all colors to YouTube/res/colors.xml and point to it. This seems to have solved most of the issues.

I am not at all an expert in theming or in coding but this is the solution that currently works. I really don't want to go back to old method and have to deal with FCs and inconsistencies across different oems.

PS: I don't know if I remember this correctly, someone on HTC device reported an FC and when I checked the log, it was [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/transparent resource not found.

How can that is not defined in the framework ? Isn't that one of the basic colors ? I fixed it by defining it within the YT.

EDIT 1 : In some framework transparent color is blue -> #2753

Ok, so here is the original tutorial:

And here is what you have to do in the release version because that menu is disabled:

https://www.xda-developers.com/customise-the-navigation-bar-android-oreo/

But I just noticed that there are minAPI26 (Oreo) versions of YouTube available in the apkmirror. I modded one of those and it has the picture in picture mode working without the above trick :) Only needs the Background Playback mod for it work without YouTube Red subscription. There is however a slight problem with the homescreen icon. The APKTool seems to have a problem compiling the Adaptive Icons at the moment so that icon will be a generic one until it gets fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] issasaurus:
Dang, I was so happy to read that [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] is joining this project! What great news... Can't wait til his first suggestion is implemented. I've been using modded YT since arter's, then post 1 version, then Vanced and arter method installation, Laura's themed.... Currently on non themed magisk version, incredibly easy installation and themes with Swift black no problem.

I saw a post a few pages back about micro g installation, no root. I just can't quite grasp the concept. I am logged into YouTube fine, but my history is not recorded (if I "like" a video, it comes up.. So that works). And my feed is full of videos I've watched already. Would using microg fix this? Do I have to be unrooted for it to work??
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
that's actually a open issue with the non-root version with yet unknown reason (before someone comes up with that: no it's not adaway app in that case)

so u can't do anything about it atm.
