The vast majority of users should ignore these instructions and download the Vanced Manager from the OP.

For those that

-have a custom recovery without root, and/or cannot use a modified microG for a non-root install

-are rooted, but understand how to replace a user app apk and prefer to do that themselves

these instructions are useful.

I'd add to the instructions that instead of apkmirror's app manager, install the open source ad-free SAI - which can install the apkm file - and might be a more generally useful app to have. Not required.

And for YouTube installed as a system app, you'd want to remove it first - or perhaps skip these instructions, uninstall updates, manually update to current version used by Vanced, and use the Magisk module posted in this thread.

That's what I'm saying. I did swipe it closed, but it was still playing.

I can't logy in multiple accounts 16v 😥 I'm using 15v ,
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
The whole idea of using the mount command to overlay the base.apk was because this does not work across the board.

Thanks to the age of selinux and verification, it normally failed on (re)boot.

Just to be clear, while booted into system, you just replaced the base.apk file in the user installed directory?

No change to permissions? :unsure:

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
Same here. Can't login on my Huawei device anymore since this morning on vanced 16 (non root). V15 works still. It's very odd because I've been using V16 for a week now. I always install through the manager.

My samsung tablets still log in fine on V16.

Edit: V15 crashes constantly. It seems I can only use v14 or v16. Why is that?

Edit2: Check this pic out 6hexanexz!

Edit3: I reinstalled the way vanced manager recommends and V16 works again. Don't know why it stopped working. A bug in microg?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Yes, exactly as that, as described in my posts

Simple replacement of base.apk in /Data (Vanced root over the official YT) therefore no needs of overlaying, shell script, modules, whatever

As simple as that

I know that it didn't work before (I tried at some point and got YT uninstalled), but it was mentioned in one of the posts i quoted that it works for 16.02.35 so I went to try, thus the posts.

Note: upon replacement, it appears as that YT was uninstalled and freshly installed again - I lost its icon on my first home screen I had it before, but found the icon on my last home screen as a newly installed app

Since the experimenting I left it that way now for two days, it survived several reboots, no ptoblem. I even really used it for one day without Magisk (I flashed my stock boot.img hence there was no Magisk), and also no problem

(Btw, I experimented also more and instead od installing the official YT 16.02.35 by APK Mirror installer and then replacing, I also tried to install at once those four original YT apk files + the fifth Vanced root base.apk by adb install-multiple but it still failed, complaining about different signatures.

If that worked, that would be by far the easiest way - but that way it didn't work)

I updated to Vanced Manager 2.4.0. My Youtube Music (YTM) is on 4.07.51. The new version is 4.11.50. But When I click update I go though the download & install process only for it to fail at the very end with the error message "ERROR - Installation failed because MIUI Optimization is enabled. Disable MIUI Optimization, then try again. CLOSE ADVANCED GUIDE"

Clicking on ADVANCED shows the message..

"INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE : Package com.vanced.android.apps.youtube.music signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!"

I am on MIUI Global 12.0.7 & the MIUI optimization is of course turned off. If I uninstall current YTM, the installation then goes on smoothly. This has happened with all previous versions of YTM too. It does not happen with Vanced Youtube app. Is there a solution to this?

Also, the newer version does not detect microG google account nor does it allow to sign in saying account already exists. I had to delete it & go back to 4.07.51
[Android Apps and Games] voroxda:
I faced the same effect. My solution:

Deinstalled yt music 4.07.51. Install 4.07.51 using the yt manager. Restart manager and install yt music 4.11.50. Seems that the Devs had changed digital signature. The last signatures 4.11.50 and 4.07.51 are the same.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
You don't really need to disable MIUI Optimization (I never disable because of bad effects to the settings of installed apps)

Instead, enable Install via USB in Developer options
[Android Apps and Games] MomenMamdouh:
Starnge bug, can not change account. Removed the existing accounts from microg and added them again makes it impossible to login to vanced v16 again!!

Reverted back to v15
[Android Apps and Games] Andy_Cool:
Vertical videos play at the lowest resolutions. If the video is 360p it will play at 144p. If it is 720p it will play at 240p. Changing resolutions doesnt help. I have noticed this in previous versions too. Is it just my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Have you checked what happens with the official YouTube app?
[Android Apps and Games] ugurcansayan:
Hello, just wanted to notify that Vanced devs rarely check there. If you want to contact them or need help, please consider Telegram, Discord or Reddit, whichever suits you.
[Android Apps and Games] pcfixgeek2002:
Ok so I just wanted to know 100% FOR SURE that this is the official vanced app because if you do a search for it there is at least 5 sites with a name similar to this

Now fyi I have been working on computer's and electronics for a LONG TIME so I know better than just to click whatever.... been working with computers since i had to install ms dos and windows 95 with floppy disks
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
No need to search, just go to post #1 and follow the link to the official Vanced site.
[Android Apps and Games] Bostwick:
I saw this trouboeshooting question on the Vanced FAQ about vanced disappearing after a restart.... the solution they have there is really not helpful at all. i had this problem. what it was what that in my developer options i had the option checked to "force allow all apps to be able to write on external storage regardless of manifest" or whatever.. prolly worded a lil different.. but yeah when i unchecked it months ago, it started working fine and no trouble since for months now on my xiaomi mi max 3 miui12/android10/magisk/edxposed. i can restart as often as i please, and magisk always mounts the vanced apk right where android neeeds it to be mounted, like its supposed to do...

Figured i'd just let yas know, because that might be the whole reason ANYONE is having that problem... so at least for me its solved..
[Android Apps and Games] Hydreigon:
Working for me! Non root!
[Android Apps and Games] DroidFire:
I had same issue, finally got it working again, had to uninstall everything, v16, vanced manager and microg, then reinstall everything with v15 and then upgrade to v16. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] dante197:
Could you please explain better how to install without touching miui optimization?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
As described. Enable Install via USB:
[Android Apps and Games] Andy_Cool:
I rarely used Official app. In fact it is forgotten on my phone :p

I did check, however, after your post. The official app switches the quality to higher one & sticks with it. The same vertical video plays at a lower quality in YT-Vanced & there is no great difference when switching to higher quality. In fact if I go to home page & come back it shows that it has switched to a lower quality.

For example: A 1080p vertical video will start playing at 240p. When I choose 1080p the quality improves but checking the quality button shows it has automatically chosen 480p. Again trying 1080p doesnt improve quality though it shows that it is playing at 1080p. Now going to another app & coming back & checking quality shows that it is playing at 480p. And if the video is not HD quality, YT-Vanced insists on playing the vertical video in 144p! :(
[Android Apps and Games] dante197:
And then? This was my question.

Just enabling it, doesn't work for me.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
For me it still popped up to Allow, I opted yes and it worked

Already used many times (updating Vanced, reinstalling, etc), no problem

Can we use VANCED on windows 10
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
Has YTV been detected and banned since today?

All of a sudden I just get a white screen and infinite loading now. Non root. I deleted app data to no avail. Already pushed the reinstall button on both VANCED and MicroG to no avail. Youtube still works in my browsers.

Edit: after uninstall everything and reinstalling v15.43.32 suggested by the manager then last version. It works. Weird.

Hi. I'm using Unrooted Youtube Vanced 16.02.35 on a Huawei Nova 5T.

I don't get any notifications from the app besides my daily digest. I have re checked multiple times the power saving settings, the Cloud messaging service and everything seems to be right. Yet i dont get any other notifications.

[Android Apps and Games] der_cobester:
Got a bit of a glitch with Music Vanced. When I'm listening to music, it greatly slows down my screen wake time, and when it wakes, it takes a few seconds for my notifications to come up. I turned off battery optimization and this did not help. I'm on a Moto G7 Power (nonroot) running Android 10. Not a big issue but if anyone has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] althafjava:
Can it work with Nokia 8.1??
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Seems like Google is trying to kill Vanced again. Not sure if it was because of the last update on my Chromebook or because the app has decided to go kamikaze but picture in picture is malfunctioning and maximising video window minimises it. Tried the previous version, still the same problems.
[Android Apps and Games] althafjava:
Well stock android phones also having issues.
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
It's Android, no?

No reason it shouldn't, so give it a try - Worst thing that'll happen is it'll say "not installed".

I got success to install YTVanced non root version and logged in correctly following this guide from the Telegram channel:

Written tutorial:

1. Uninstall both vanced microG & YouTube Vanced

2. Install vanced microG(latest)

3. Install YouTube Vanced (version: 15.43.32)/ YouTube Music Vanced (version 4.07.51)

[Click on install > click on arrow next to version > select anything except the first two options > save > Install]

4. Open YouTube Vanced then add an account

5. Open Vanced Manager

6. Then update YouTube Vanced (version: latest-16.02.35) / YouTube Music Vanced (version - 4.11.50)

(Credit: Razuuu)

My phone is OP 6T rooted and in the past I used YTVanced rooted version, but after 1-2 days I always got the YT update in the PlayStore which is very annoying. Now I will monitor with the non-root, which keep original YT separated from YTVanced, to see if the update request will appear again. Thanks to the YTVanced developers.
[Android Apps and Games] JudgeDread11:
the non-root haas a different signature theen the orriginal youtube apps, and shal therefore not bee updated by the playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
NON-ROOT Vanced and official YT act as two different apps, you can have them both installed in parallel and you can update the offiial YT, it will not affect the non-root Vanced

However, you must not update YT from Playstore if you have ROOT Vanced, because the newer official YT version will overwrite your (older version) root Vanced
[Android Apps and Games] yametekudasai:
New update has a bug. I already put 3 of my accounts in vanced but when i open the app again it disappeared and now i can't login the other two because it says that its already been added.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkEmotions:
Can Anyone tell me How i Can solve my Problem with Playstore Update from Youtube Vanced and YoutubeMusic? Every Time in Playstore it shows me, there are new Updates for the two Apps. A deactivated autom. Updates, but it would be optimal when the Apps completly detaches from PlayStore. Titanium Method works only for a few hours. For the Magist Detach Module i didn't found any Manual how to configure this. I installed it over Magisk, but nothing happens.

[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
You can uninstall the app - The DiamondJohn says to use the built-in uninstaller? Not sure why, but he's the boss.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Yes. You can uninstall TeMeFI after the detach if thats all you want. However, if you ever wipe or refresh your playstore "data", then the system will negate the detach and you will need to re-run it. I am also working against Google; a slightly bigger entity than me, that does not tell me what they are about to do... so THEY may wipe / re-initialise your PlayStore one day. EDIT: I have been running a few years, and this one has not caught me out. I usually fail when I clean flash and forget to detach in the new system

The reason you can uninstall it, is because TeMeFI does NOT run in the background, nor is any "maintenance" required once the detach is implemented. Its code & methods are insreted and implemented, so will happily continue without TeMeFI being installed.

And yes, I recommend using the built in uninstall. The extra thing that it will clear up, is the directory it adds to your SDCard. i.e. /sdcard/TeMeFI/*

You can find it in the menu at:

Apologies if this has already been answered but I can't find an answer. I can't install vanced anymore. I had the login issue same as anyone else so I went to reinstall it but every time I try to install it it says "Installation failed because the user tried to downgrade the package. Uninstall updates from the stock app, then try again".

The issue is I'm using nonroot, and I can't uninstall updates for regular youtube (which shouldn't even be relevant if I understand correctly). I've tried clearing the download files as well as uninstalling the manager & microG. I've seen a few other threads with people having this issue recently but I can't find any solution. Any ideas?

Oh, and if it makes any difference, I originally uninstalled Vanced via the vanced manager.

Calm down, the app is free and it's not always easy to fix bugs with the thousands of equip with different features and configurations.

Here it is working without any problem.
[Android Apps and Games] extrapower99:
I know this was asked probably many times, but isn't there really a way to add support for at least up/down on a remote control for the videos listing?

This app is a yt mod right? I use it on a android tv box and well, it works great, cant really complain about anything, the only thing that would make it perfect is if i could use the remote control up/down buttons to scroll the video list.

Other than that the air mouse functionality is more than fine to use it, but to scroll the list there is a need to simulate touches with it, that means holding ok and scrolling with air mouse, quite tedious.

If we had just up/down working on the video list it would be so much more smooth and easy.

Its isnt there as it isn't technically possible or for some other reason as i dont know?

Or download the root APK for your device and the flash zip installer, and download the installer if you want as a system app.

where I find this?

I used to but they conflict with the modified vanced theme, unless you know of one just chance the recents bar? Regardless, it makes more sense to me for it to be made to match in the app rather than using substratum.
[Android Apps and Games] SohamD:
The magisk repo one never worked for me. Faced same issue. So just use the root version using the installer.

[Android Apps and Games] drjat:
You should use the non-root version. Otherwise read the instructions carefully - download the zip and apk file - do not install the apk - go to recovery and flash the zip - the zip will automatically install apk

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I have found the back button behaviour to be 'odd' - if I am in home section of YouTube vanced and then go to 'Trending' - when I press back button - it takes be back to Home and then I have to press back button again to exit app. Is this normal. If I have been in several sections then I have to press back button several times to exit app. (I know that I can just hit the home button but I prefer to exit using back button)
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
That's normal youtube behaviour. I sometimes get annoyed about it too but it's just the way it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Lolithetrolli:
The splash screen logo when first starting the app has an aesthetic error. The logo has a small paintbrush stroke on the botton left side protruding out. It must be recent, because I didn't see it in the last version.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Did you read the instructions at all? You cannot install root version that way. I gave you the instructions, typed them out for you. And they are clearly laid out in the op. And yet you still try to install it like a regular app. Only the non root can be installed like that. If you want non root, download that one and install like a regular app. And before you come back and say you can't log in, non root also needs microG.

If you want the root version (system app) you have to use the installer zip.

1. APK and Vanced installer zip in your download folder on internal storage.

2. Flash installer zip in twrp.

The zip finds the APK and installs it for you.

Are you clear now? If not, go to first post and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Yeah, they used an old paintbrush when they painted it on your phone. You can fix it with nail polish. Just use lucious red, any brand.

[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
Man, some of you all are relentless on spotting these tiny imperfections. I often wonder if you guys are auditors as your day job. Lol. I bet the official YouTube app doesn't get picked apart like this one does.

I would encourage anyone using this app to pick any random app you can find and make just one change to it. Moddifying an app is an incredibly tedious job and sometimes its the minor stuff that can a lot trouble or not worth effort.

There are tons of guides on this site that will guide you on using apktool. I just started learning a little over a year ago. I'm still not good at it but it does give me a better understanding of what it takes to make changes and if there's something I dont like I can at least try to fix. You might even get the help of the devs it looks like you're making a real effort with it or can help point them in the right direction.

Im not trying to be condescending or anything like that, I just think nitpicking comments or ungrateful sounding comments are what turn devs away from these kinds of projects. This app already goes above and beyond and I just feel like if its still not to your liking then that's on you to fix.

[Android Apps and Games] Slim2none4u:
That's just not even right! Why would you say that without offering proof first off. It did not ask for root permission for me on my pixel 3xl that I have never run root vanced on. So clearly it's on your phone and your set up and nothing nefarious by the vanced team as you hint at with your statement. It's up to you whether or not you use this app if you feel as though there's something going on then don't use it. But don't come into the forum acting like all the sudden they're doing something nefarious.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
You can always simply deny root privileges.

Its possible that it checks if root is available to test if its even an option to offer you the option of a root install. I am root and have root installed so testing is not worth my time. If you are not rooted, the message/request will not pop up.. If you are rooted, you can always hit "deny".
