Calling the Vance teams work utter nonsense is fairly offensive. The instructions are perfectly clear and you're actually doing it right. just have the Vanced installer zip and the proper APK in the download folder of your internal storage. Flash the zip in TWRP, it finds the APK and installes it for you as a system app. Try making sure your system is mounted as read/write in TWRP.
[Android Apps and Games] djparent:
[EDIT: NVM, figured it out. Instructions to detach from the play store in the Magisk repo could be a lot clearer as there are many '/cache' directories if you have full root and a file explorer. Specifying the system cache exactly could save a lot of people some time and grief. Thanks for the mod!]
[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
I tried also detach with titanium backup, it works for a moment, but after 1,2 days it comes back to store.
[Android Apps and Games] BlankFX:
I never called the Vance teams work utter nonsense, I called their instructions for Rooted Devices (and only for these, the other two are well explained) utter nonsense for it being badly described. By no means I'd ever call their actual work, YouTube Vance, anything like that as it appears to be a fact it's a very good work.

I'm currently on TWRP 3.0.2-0 and see there's 3.2.3.0 available for my device. I will re-check the issue after I updated TWRP.

mod edit - political remarks removed

//Edit:

Updated TWRP to 3.2.3.0 just fine, but the error message remains:

Installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip'
Checking for Digest file...
Skipping Digest check: no Digest file found
Updater process endet with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip'
Updating partition details...
....done

Any ideas?

//Edit 2: Nevermind, I found my problem and it was my own careless mistake. I seemed to had placed both, detach and attach-trigger files instead of just one. I also had to manually create a recovery.log-file with TWRP to realize this. TWRP itself did not show me the installers output for whatever reason.

It's working now and I love it!

//Edit 3: Mod modded my Post (beside others) to comply to the forum rules. Thanks for that. It was not my intention to get driven offtopic.

Where is the correct location? I used

/data/data/com.google.android.youtube/cache

And it must be wrong because it continuously reattaches
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
In /cache in the root of your phone. Nowhere near YouTube. Just /cache.

OK as I can see you`re quite excited about political talks but I must remember you guys, Forum Rules does not allow this and anyway, why bother posting such things here where plenty of us are not interested about, there are hoards of websites dedicated.

That being said, a small cleaning has been performed by removing the unnecessary off-topic posts. Please keep it decent and constructive, report the unpleasant posts instead engaging in drama.

I know that the app interface could be switched between white and black, but why isn't their a version with the stock icon, stock launching background colour?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Well, this is not YouTube Official app... It is YouTube Vanced Edition. Different than official app. Thus different splash page and different icon. I really like it. It is quite pleasant.
[Android Apps and Games] ninestarkoko:
INSTRUCTIONS for those less expert,

not sure if it was written in the FAQ but:

to make the latest versions of Vanced YT work on Jellybean 4.2 or Kitkat 4.4, you must install the appropriate APK (CPU compatible) with the installer and then

- move the Youtube.apk from /system/app/Youtube/ folder to the main /system/app folder

- make sure that the .apk has the right permissions (-rw - r -r)

- Then just delete the useless /system/app/Youtube/ folder

- wipe dalvik (might be needed) and reboot
[Android Apps and Games] xtc14:
Installed the non root version on my rooted Z3 compact running Lollipop and noticed the top consuming process is this application. I disabled the original app. Is there a reason behind the CPU consumption, or should I simply install the root version?
[Android Apps and Games] Roamin64:
I have been using Vanced youtube for at least 6 months and it's great. I've had no login or integration issues at all. Android 8 , Note 8 ,NON-ROOT, using NotSabs to deactivate original youtube system package. My only issue is that , whenever I try to update vanced beyond "YouTube_13.18.54_API21(arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a_x86)(nodpi)(vDark-v1.0.1)-vanced" I start seeing ads ? Now I haven't put up with those ads long enough to find out how deep the ads are , but as soon as I open vanced and get on my homepage , I see an ad ? When I revert back to 13.18.54 , that ad on my homepage is gone. Is this normal ? Something I am missing ? The only reason I would want to update is because I get nagged when I open vanced about an update available.

Also is there a vanced version for Android TV devices ? The last time I tried vanced on my Nvidia Shield it didn't work. Not having remote controller support and somewhat the wrong interface for Android TV. I simply can't put up with ads anywhere, and vanced is a real savior for me. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
I'm using the nonroot version with microg and anytime I reboot my phone the account I'm logged in with is lost. It doesn't show up in my devices accounts settings after a reboot. Is this an issue with microg or is it because I'm trying to log in to the same google account as everything else?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That is not a known issue or a common issue at all. You're supposed to sign in with the same account as the rest of the phone. Must be something about your device or your ROM
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
That's what I was afraid of. It's an unrooted LG G6. Thank you.

Edit: microg 0.2.4-81 seems to be working for me. I'm not sure why v.0.2.4-105 didn't work but at least I've got it working now.
[Android Apps and Games] thatsupnow:
Anybody know if the screen off play has been fixed?? A few releases back it stopped playing when screen shut off
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
The universal installer version 3.0 is not updated. The detach script is different from the one inside the Magisk module.

Also, flashing the universal installer doesn't output any lines inside the update-binary files (anything inside ui_print aren't displayed at all).
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
It could be due to the version of VYT that's installed.

I think it was from version 13 that you need to use -105 microg.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Never stopped working here every version works fine.

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

Glad you found one that works. As stated before could be the version your on.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

The universal installer doesn't need to be updated. And of course the detach scripts are different. There different approaches
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
It does. The Magisk detach script in the Magisk module is different from the Magisk detach script in the universal installer with the Magisk configuration. The latter is missing some lines recently added to the Magisk module.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Works here. Everything installs fine including the detach script.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
I didn't say anything about the Magisk module not working properly. I said that the universal installer doesn't output any lines on TWRP. And that the detach script inside the universal installer is incomplete, hence detach is not working properly.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 AM ----------

To see for yourself. You can flash the universal installer on TWRP with the ytva_install_via_magisk.plz present. And then compare the post-fs-data.sh files installed by the Magisk module and the universal installer (with Magisk install enabled).
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
dude the screenshot I just put up is using the universal installer with a root APK and magisk.plz and detach.plz. flash them in magisk manager not TWRP and you'll be fine. It made a detach module and it is detached. So I don't know what you're talking about
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
What I'm reporting is on TWRP. I mentioned TWRP, didn't say anything about Magisk Manager. I'm just saying, it could be fixed. What's the point of TWRP support if you'll just tell to flash using Magisk Manager? Plus, I'm using the root method, so I won't be able to flash with Magisk.

Let's just end this discussion. I don't think anyone here will bother to fix it anyway. I fixed it myself, I'm just reporting for visibility.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I understand you now. People have been reporting that since the beginning. Attached has always been hit or miss with the root version without magisk. But if you have a fix for it, why don't you posted up bro. I'm sure a bunch of people will be happy with that.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Debating getting an iphone, so Im here asking if this app can run on ios?
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
It's an android app? No android apps run on ios. You can just get ports of apps that are from the same devs but completely different in every other way. And no we do not make any ios version.
[Android Apps and Games] mbc663:
Here
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Not only is it not possible because an Android app cannot run on an iPhone, but worse yet, you cannot install any app on an iPhone that is not in Apple's App Store.

Unlike Android, which you can install an APK from pretty much anywhere. You can even build your own app and install it on an Android. You cannot do this on an iPhone. (Of course jailbreaking is another story all together).
[Android Apps and Games] bagajohny:
App is not showing up in app drawer. Anyone else having same issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
No. Can you clarify a few things first? Did you read and follow the entire first post? Which method did you use? What version? Where do you think it failed? Did you uninstall YouTube beforehand? Did you feed your cat this morning? Is your device rooted? What is your device?

So many questions...
[Android Apps and Games] bagajohny:
Yes, I have been using vanced for some time. Rooted with twrp flash. Pico gapps so no YouTube app by default. I don't have a cat. Magisk 17.1. Nexus 5 Unlegacy AOSP Pie build.

There was a solution posted in telegram group but it didn't work for me. I tried that already.

[Android Apps and Games] bagajohny:

[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Good, I hate cats. You should reconsider the module though, get it straight from the Magisk repo. Always works best for me. Make sure there's nothing left of previous YT installations to give it a clean start. If it still fails, you can get the unrooted version until you get it sorted.
[Android Apps and Games] bagajohny:

Guys, my little advise to you is to report the unpleasant posts and to refrain as much as possible from replying , this is to first avoid an escalation, second, cluttering the thread and third for us moderators to have some less work to do , our time is as precious as your is.

Here is the Forum Rules and also on my signature, easy to reffer to when in doubt about what this forum is all about.

My intervention here has been triggered by rule 2 violation, 2.3 more precisely.

[Android Apps and Games] LogDropper16:
Bug?

I'm not sure if this is a weird coincidence or a bug, maybe one of you could let me know. Since i installed 13.07.55 I noticed the Google app was draining my battery a lot, not play services just the regular google app. I had my phone locked in my pocket and google had drained nearly 20% of my battery by mid afternoon.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the previous 12.49.55 and today everything is back to normal, don't even see the google app on my battery usage. Just so everyone knows nothing changed between the two days other than youtube vanced. My location services were off and I was not using the google app or even my phone for that matter because I was at work. I have a GS8+ non-root btw.

So yeah if someone has any ideas about this I'm all ears. Otherwise I'll wait for an updated version of vanced before I try again.

Please report correctly. Otherwise all the versions after this will be buggy for your device.

Yes, vpn works. I have already tried. Use this app for instance. I have tested it grants you access to videos that are made for separate countries or banned from separate countries:

Did you use the universal installer or the one from magisk repo? if you used the universal installer just place that file right along with the installer, the APK, and magisk.plz in your download folder and install the zip again through magisk manager. Or use the detach only.plz and Flash the universal installer zip in magisk manager.

But you need to be more specific about how you installed it.
