Yup, I'm confirming that there are still unskippable ads in your latest app, Zanezam. And I'm guessing razerman's version doesn't have them cuz it's still on the old layout. The new interface brings the adds back mhm

upd: no wait Razerman's version changed its interface without an update loooll wtf is going ooon google's changing apps without updating them O_O and yeah there are still no unskippable ads in Razerman's version!

ps. Razerman, the layout ads are suddenly gone too hm with the layout change i'm guessing, but before there were layout adds in the main section but not below the video as in ur screenshot

pps: xda interface is foreign to me so i don't really know how to quote people and stuff ahah but i'll find out soon enough

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

OMG nope I just got an unskippable ad on Razerman's version as well: screenshot to prove. Youtube's interface is changed to the new one, there are no layout ads but this stupid unskippable ad came out just now. I just wanted to really make sure so i opened the original youtube app to see which video would bring an ad and then i opened that video in Razerman's youtube and there you go(
[Android Apps and Games] doonoo:
Can i get a nodpi for arm?
[Android Apps and Games] zhinkk:
Video ads. I don't see any layout ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Ok, thanks for testing.

[MENTION=5331807]neverbeenfrustrated[/MENTION] and zhinkk

I may have find something else which might explain why these ads are still showing, not entirely sure yet. Might get another test version out in the next few days.
[Android Apps and Games] neverbeenfrustrated:
Ok great
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
[MENTION=5331807]neverbeenfrustrated[/MENTION], [MENTION=5726771]zhinkk[/MENTION] and other with video ads being displayed.

Could you test what happens with this one?

[Android Apps and Games] neverbeenfrustrated:
Sure thing

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Alright so, at first when I opened the app it was still in its old interface, I reopened it and now it's new lol but I tried around a hundred most popular videos and I found no ads yet phew, I'll keep on looking tho

PS.

But I must admit the last version by Zanezam also does a pretty good job at blocking ads, cuz I only found one in like 30 videos... Either that or Google's somehow restricting the amount of ads a user can get within a time period
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Finally some good news!!
[Android Apps and Games] neverbeenfrustrated:
I'll keep testing in a while to check if there's really a limit in how many ads you can get per a time period. I'll report later
[Android Apps and Games] neverbeenfrustrated:
Update: no ads on razerman's version, and a random sudden unskippable ad on Zanezam's one (a rare occasion I must admit)
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Sounds good :)

Let's hope this one really did the trick. Hard to remove these ads since I don't get them myself and those who do, have them completely random as well. But thanks a lot for testing and reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
So sorry.. Didn't know u guys updated

Never mind guys. Found it.
[Android Apps and Games] zhinkk:
That works! No ads. Would you mind explaining the issue and what you did to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] evertonjcorreia:
No ads. Is there a root version, Razerman?
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Same here using latest version suddenly got ads.. haven't tried Razer version
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
he stopped the right wheel in the code and removed it obviously

and about details: we don't wanna spread infos and make big G fixing it right away before releasing any new version, don't we? :)

not yet if the TESTVERSION is really fine he surely will share his findings with me and then i can salt it into the root version.

then try it, thats a good comparison now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Yeah his works:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
They are more like normal videos than ads and they haven't been an issue before so "no-one" never noticed them.

I just removed the calls which calls the play function. And gladly it seems to be working. Hard part was finding the function since the code is obfuscated but I finally stumpled on a obvious string that says what the function does.
[Android Apps and Games] rikin93:
Glad to see a fix :D Waiting for a root version now :D
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Interesting... I didn't have mahakala in my adaway hosts,

As soon as i added it and ran an adaway update I get no more ads.. not video and not banners [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
How's that even possible? Adaway can't block YouTube ads which is the whole point of the smali and stuff being edited in the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Not sure bro, but now I get no ads on zanezam apk
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
Woah I just tried it too on stock youtube app, all ads gone simply by adding the host source, I thought this was not possible?? :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
See?! I'm not making this **** up :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Could someone run some sort of test please? I didn't think adaway could block YouTube ads
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
Ah nvm it just blocks homepage ads, once I clicked a video the ads came rolling back
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Yup, adaway won't block most ads.The ads are injected into the framework with ssl all quite complicated.!
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
u mean if i add "mahakala" into my negative list then the ads are all gone? didn't know that this is the ultimate word for that, nice! :D

yes it's unfortunately not that easy. i see them barely but the ones i saw are coming from youtube itself so beside of blocking some important youtube urls which leads to other

problems in functionality as we know, u can only use the modded app which use some other methods to bypass.

it's not thaaat compicated but yes they get injected dynamically.

anyway we have a good "snort nose" in the team which takes care of all that stuff. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
No ads
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
hehe thx i knew there must be more to add.

beside of that i wasn't

that

serious in my post :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
I know bro.. :silly:I'm still confused as to why it blocks the ads

I'm also using systemless option in adaway
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
I love doom:D I stopped using that host in adaway because it went too overkill on the websites and caused me issues with apps and everything. It also blocks some certain sites I like to use that I won't name although I could just whitelist them. I wonder if the add that you see and are disappearing are ones possibly provided by something like googleadservices because that host source doesn't block YouTube ads but only ui ads?
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:
Just had a video ad.. wtf is going onnnnn

Unable to save offline videos, other then that everything is fine. Was using magisk module (because. apk was "unable to install ")

So, Can anyone provide the link of latest version?

Would be glad to see Dark theme.(rooted)

[MENTION=5888813]mondohow[/MENTION] hi the version 12.27.53 for magisk template 3 is actually 12.25.54. Please can you upload the correct version.. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Lownita:
I've been using 480 dpi version on my op3 but just switched to the magisk module. Suddenly, play store is telling me, there would be an update available, although it's the same version. My guess is that's either because of magisk or because it's nodpi version. So how can I get rid of the PlayStore Message again?
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Whoops, sorry about that. Just updated on AFH.

If you're using the v3 template module from my AFH mirror then try it again. I've just updated it.

Magisk Modules Updated to 12.27.53:

Original Mod and Modules updated 19 July see Post#2 and Post#3.

Available Versions: All minAPI21

arm (nodpi) / (480)

arm64 (nodpi) / (480)

x86 (nodpi) / (480)

x86_64 (nodpi) / (480)

Themed versions not yet available. If you use Substratum, I can recommend Flux, PitchBlack or SwiftBlack themes as perfect companions to this mod.

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

FYI: This module now uses v4 Magisk template. This is not backward compatible with any Magisk version lower than v13.1

If you need a specific dpi or a version compatible with older versions of Magisk, just ask.

Big thanks and credits to Anova's Origin, Razerman, ZaneZam and Laura Almeida.
[Android Apps and Games] dillalade:
Does this latest magisk module have the missing Chromecast control panel fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi. Ori YouTube wt ads got something like " online chat" on the below app. This is part of ads?

Latest mod from this thread working no ads. Not the weirdo from google as I said before wt oldest version. But no color to choose yet..?
[Android Apps and Games] FartyParty:
Who's actually making the magisk modules? I just wanted to say thanks!

They have always been working great for me.

I've been downloading from this guy

Is he just an re-uploader and if so, can someone link me to the original source?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] has been trying to fix it and I thought it was fixed based on the feedback but I guess it still needs some work. If he does manage to put out another test version please test and provide specific feedback.

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] (you awesome awesome person) I'll be able to test this as well when you're ready.
[Android Apps and Games] ram4ufriends:
Yes, it was fixed with version 12.27.53
[Android Apps and Games] AyanamiRei0:
Whoops wrong thread.
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Curiosity got the better of me, so I broke out my MiBox just to check if the Chromecast queue control panel is working in the latest versions. The last version this worked in was 12.23.60v3 but I don't cast that often so I haven't been checking each update. I've tried the magisk and twrp versions of the latest and it's missing there. Went back to 12.23.60v3 and it's working ok.

See attached screenshots from v12.23.60v3 circled in red. Does this show on your phone/tab when you cast to your TV? If yes then please let me know the specific version you have installed.

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] do you get the queue control panel in the latest versions when you cast from your phone to your shield-tv?
[Android Apps and Games] Annie the Eagle:
No ads so far! Only a couple of layout ads and "sponsored shop ads" but apart from that no video ads! :highfive:

[Android Apps and Games] gleggie:
On the Razer YouTube builds is anyone able to login to their Google account?
[Android Apps and Games] dragona92:
It seems that everytime I got issues with my Internet when the video is about to load up, it loads an ad instead. And from then on the whole app screws up until I reflash it again. That seems to be consistently happening so hopefully it works as a feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] yaibakt:
no complaining at all, just my feedback about latest ver 12.27.53: I still see some ads randomly when i play my playlist on youtube. The ads shows up sometime, not as much as the stock youtube, but the ads are still there.

Im using stock rooted rom on S6 with your mod ver xxx3400.

Thank you for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] AyanamiRei0:
Could someone tell me how to get this to work I've been trying to get this to work for the past hour or so to no avail
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
Vacation Time!

i have to check that but im using my available fire stick dunno if that makes any difference (not using streaming often) anyway will check. ;)

thats great! i've already got all the needed infos about that fix will try to salt it in to next update which is in work (very busy atm). if i can get that woking i might include it but lets see

and btw. i think i found another fix for the layout ads but also not 100% sure yet needs testing.

try to re-install already installed microG app and/or delete data of it. at least helped for some.

weird never had that but well im also having no video ads. i just can suggest to try around with different versions.

u have to add which ads layout or video ones?

check the second post and if u cant get root version working try the non-root one.

Btw guys just to let u know its vacation time (laura already is) razerman and i will be (coincidentally *g*) the next week(s) (he 1 me 2) so do expect a lower pace when it comes to updates ;)

even tho as stated i will try to bring out a update inclusive the rest of the missing variants soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] might have found the layouts which are responsible for those ads but if you could capture the layout when the ad is shown, we can know for sure which layout is showing them. Tutorial in my signature.

Also, if someone wants to test out VP9 playback mod requested by [MENTION=6450691]KaMyKaSii[/MENTION], here is the download: 12.25.54_minAPI16_(arm & arm64)

You need to enable it from the settings window.

This also has my experimental theme which is not yet complete and I know it has some bugs where you can't really see the text in some places but it's mostly good.

Edit: Oh forgot, I don't have pushbullet and I rarely use telegram. I use Discord more often.
[Android Apps and Games] r3ix:
First of all, great work!! Love this mods... One simple doubt. For the no root version, first releases of red black version, has videos commentaries on white letters. Most recents versions has blue letters wich personally I don't like very much.

It will stay on blue letters or will change for white letters or eventually I'm missing some option to change to white?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Turisti13:
Installed the magisk module from the 3rd post and it is working. Background playback and ad blocking during video and otherwise.

However sometimes I get unskippable ads when starting a video. If i close the video and start it again it usually doesn't show the ad again though. Any ideas why is this?
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
I'm using MiXplorer, it sets the proper permissions automatically and everything works fine. It has to be a bug in Amaze.

I am trying to install this apk on my Samsung note5, please let me know what I am doing wrong?

I have downloaded Arm64 apk from first-page link.

With the help of root explorer created a new folder and put apk there and copied that folder to system/apk and given permissions to both folder and apk,folder name i created is youtubecrack , after this when I tried to install it gave me an error that apk is corrupted which is not.

any help ?have I downloaded right file ?
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
You have to place the apk in a folder in system/app and then reboot your phone. Don't install the apk
[Android Apps and Games] Xellotath:
The pattern of video ads appearing is really random, still haven't noticed a particular method to it. I use the app for at least 3-4 hours each day so I notice when they do come back. Here has been my experience past few weeks:

Last install was on 28th june, ver 12.23.60

Had no video ads until Sunday July 3rd

On Monday 4th, they were gone again

Stayed gone until yesterday, Saturday 22nd July, when they were back. Today, Sunday 23rd, they are gone again. It seems if they do come back I just have to be patient and they will go away again.
[Android Apps and Games] nvrmndryo:
Delete. Working.
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Make a new folder in system/app. Place the apk in the newly made folder. Give the required permissions to the newly made folder and apk (On my device the required permissions are already given). Reboot your device.
[Android Apps and Games] nvrmndryo:
Thanks it's working.

Just a question, it doesn't play continously? in app it plays continously, but in background it stopped after video ended

* next video plays if I play from playlist. .
[Android Apps and Games] LOCKhart:
Go to youtube settings and check the background settings
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
And also check your battery optimizer and make sure YouTube is not being killed in the background
[Android Apps and Games] nvrmndryo:
No, it's working properly. My question was, suppose if I normally watch videos, after ending one video next video starts automatically, but in background after ending video next video(audio) doesn't start.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

it is the wrong version.. i should have had installed the arm64 version, what is the real difference? even if i flashed the wrong version it works......is there a special explanation?

[Android Apps and Games] bseos:
It's not just this modded app that's getting ads though. I'm getting ads on YouTube even on my desktop where I've never gotten any using ublock origin ad plugin for Chrome
[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
it's actually not entirely fixed with previous versions but with latest it should so try upcoming version and see then, for me casting to a fire stick worked as expected.

Can't say if that is THE solution but chrome addon "Adblock for Youtube" already tried? i'm using this and it's holding ads back like a charm at least in my area which is quite a bit away but anyway worth a try ;)

speaking of update: please bear with us guys update is coming soon. we want to relase the complete pack (+themed versions) and we still try to sort out some little (but hard to find) theme glitches.

but plans are to still get it out today ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Roi007leaf:

[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Quality post.

At least try to provide some information about what version you're using.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:
It's not the Chromecast/Firestick. It's just that usual "minimizing" video behavior (pressing back once). It used to minimized into small video playing on the bottom right. Now that I scrolled a few pages back, I've seen this is similar to Chromecast implementation. Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] A_Random_Guy:
It's the new Youtube Video minimization. Looks like Google put you (and me) into the A/B test. I think clearing the app data will restore it back to normal for a while
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
I've got a question for you, guy. How did you manage to keep the old YouTube layout? Mine Keeps changing to the bottom bar layout.
[Android Apps and Games] foxsprout:
It's a server-side update. You have no such option to revert.
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
Never mind.
[Android Apps and Games] Seki_:
It's possible to maintain the old Layout. You just need to download version 11.03.54. That's the latest one that doesn't update to the new layout. Also, this version is not affected by the new ads Google rolled out. But you still need to use an old version of the "YouTube AdAway" Xposed module if you want to get rid of the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Finally managed to fix all known bugs in the theme.

New versions will be up in any moment now.
