Just like watching tennis

It's like watching a tennis match in here! "when's the next update?" - "update isn't needed!", "when's the next update?" - "update isn't needed!"... ping, pong, ping, pong. Let's agree to disagree already :D

My opinion: an update would be nice but our lives don't depend on it. My personal stance on the new advertising method: in the spirit of community and the much beloved Vanced YT, it is their moral goal to make an effort to eliminate any form of advertising within YT. To be very clear: that implies no obligations! Everything here is provided as-is. It's just what users could/would/will expect. I hate any form of ads but I do disable my adblocker(s) on websites/services which have content that is valuable to me. YT is an exception on that matter because, even though it provides valuable content, Big G is making Big B's with analytics on the side.

I've discussed this issue with another user very recently (try searching for it, it's good practice) but we failed to determine a root cause. It does not happen on my device (video navigation works as expected) but does seem to be a problem for you guys. Thanks for reporting it. Perhaps Vanced team will take note of it (if they ever provide another update).

I'm not sure what you're getting at but the latest version is like a hundred years old! Jokes aside, it should recall settings. If you're talking about the Magisk module, could you please repeat your problem in the Magisk module thread of Vanced? If not, reply here and mention some version information. Always mention version information.

Suddenly my build in YouTube app is enabling itself. I have disabled it 7 or 8 times. I am on Google Android one phone.
[Android Apps and Games] andybones:
If rooted, just delete it. But I'm assuming you're not rooted. So are you using magisk, non-root, root. Version of YouTube Vanced...

And do you mean Google pixel. If so, 1,2 or 3....
[Android Apps and Games] jsprouts:
Is the source code for this app available anywhere? I'm hoping to at least update the code to work in my own device.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
The app is available on github, but its up to you to decompile it and tweak it. However, idk if the team would appreciate that....
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
open source. can do whatever they please with it
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
I kinda figured that, but i wasn't exactly sure. But thanks for the clarification.
[Android Apps and Games] huangjs:
i found that like button is the same no matter you liked the video or not.

it's somewhat inconvenient.

i haven't search thru all the 1207 pages of posts but it's the only issue i encountered.

thanks for the effort btw.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Same here. Not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Happened with me too. YouTube and photos app was enabling itself. So I disabled many times and now they're disabled.

To those of you complaining about ads and asking for an update......
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Can somebody explain me what are the advantages of Vanced Magisk version over the rootless one? As far as I know they have the same functionality. The only difference I know is that Magisk version has some problems with Google Play updates :D
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
magisk/root have issues with occasionally being automatically updated to the latest unmodded youtube if not detached properly.

non-root has issues with some apps not recognizing it as a YouTube app and failing to open/play YouTube videos with it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Aah, ok... Thank you. Now I use Sudohide Xposed module succesfully to hide Vanced from Playstore :)
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Yt Vanced (Magisk Module) is not showing up in Play Store since switching to the betas.

I'm running a Google pixel (2016, sailfish) on Android 10 - QP1A. 190711.020

Ever since the upgrade to 10, YouTube Vanced is crashing. At first it was periodically, like whenever I hit fullscreen. After I cleared data for the app, it force closes on the splash screen right after launch.

I've got it installed via the universal installer v1.5

Version 14.21.54

Vanced MicroG 0.2.6.17455
[Android Apps and Games] LazyBunnyKiera:
Thank you for this wonderful app.

I'm looking for a setting to start videos in full screen mode.

I'm also trying to figure out how to install the root version on an Odroid. Since the Odroid doesn't have TWRP, or even a recovery mode, i'm not quite sure how to install it. And installing magisk is a serious undertaking and requires a ubuntu ready pc. IE it's a bit excessive.

I do have the root version installed on another device. Is there a way to do a transplant? Maybe install Youtube, then copy The Youtube Vanced files from one device to the other and overrite them? If that'd work, i'd just need a list of what all to change and where.
[Android Apps and Games] maxsteel_000:

App doesn't load any feeds home/Subscriptions etc. unless I reboot the phone Note 8 non-rooted then after watching a few videos the problem returns

[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I'm probably breaking through an open door here but you don't actually have to read every single page manually. You just enter some smart key words in the 'Search Thread' box top right and XDA's slave monkeys do the searching for you. I tried it myself but the monkeys couldn't find anything related to your issue. What's up with your like button? It doesn't register a tap? Be specific and provide technical details (versions!). Add screenshots if need be.
[Android Apps and Games] Pepsistopheles:
I'm running the latest version of OxygenOS 10 on a Oneplus 7 Pro. After the update, YouTube Vanced will sometimes make the phone's screen go black, with no way to close the app or reboot (buttons don't respond, though calls come through) except using adb reboot. Is this a known issue with Android 10?
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
If you would read the last few pages you'd know by now. YT Vanced currently has problems with Android 10
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
i dont think you can say this. i think its device specific, there are some of us, including me, who have zero issues with YT Vanced on 10.

im using non-root YT Vanced on essential phone ph-1
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
Sorry for making it seem that all Android 10 devices don't correctly work but most don't work correctly. (At least going by the pages of the thread)

I don't even have a device that can do 10 so I can't tell from experience.
[Android Apps and Games] warrencoakley:
Could possibly be device specific but I doubt it. It was working flawlessly on my Pixel 2 XL in Android 9 but since Android 10 there are a few bugs that need to be squashed.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

So videos autoplay on your home screen and the toggle for dismissing the accessibility menu too working?

Strange !!!
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
videos are playing on home screen, and the accessibility toggles works properly.
[Android Apps and Games] warrencoakley:
And your on stock Android 10 not custom or beta?
[Android Apps and Games] warrencoakley:
OK at last I have found the issue with the accessibility control's X and video's not playing on home screen and I was able to resolve it on stock Android 10.

Simply unistall the Sound Amplifier apk if you have this installed and hey presto it's back working as normal.

It's integrates itself into the accessibility menu and for some reason it doesn't play well with YouTube/Vance in general.
[Android Apps and Games] Venom0642:
Are you serious, do you not read the Rules on XDA, Wow ! Please do not ever ask for ETA , Also this isn't a YouTube Vanced issue. Your very lucky that you didn't get flamed by others.
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
non-rooted essential phone, non-root yt vanced, stock android 10.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
In my mind, the closest thing to "stock android" would be a google device. Every other android can be considered a custom ROM to varying degrees, to adjust for the manufacturers non-google hardware, and their interpretation of what makes android good. Especially when we are talking about early implementations of the latest version of android.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
An Essential Phone (PH-1) can run using a stock Pixel 2XL system image.

So I'd say it close enough. ;)

Vanced 14.21.54-1421542400_API19(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)(vDark-v2.0.9) works just fine on my Pixel 3a XL. (Android 10)

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Yeah... :o that's pretty hard to argue not to be a stock android ;)

Is there a way to Swipe up to view recommended videos while in Full-Screen mode? Messing with Swipe Threshold and Pixels, I cannot seem to enable it ;-;
[Android Apps and Games] shaunakdsilva:
Seems like this project is dead.
[Android Apps and Games] eiwarmer:
If it ain't broke don't fix it applies here. And it has been stated more then enough if there are NO significant YT updates they will not push an update.

What's up with all those people getting anxious when they see a YT update they demand a Vanced update :silly:

YT often pushes crap updates to test/break stuff and reverts it afterwards. Ono you've missed TWO updates by now OMG how can we live with ourselves?!
[Android Apps and Games] warrencoakley:
I discovered the issue in my recent post. Vance working 100% on stock Android 10 on Google Pixel 2 XL. No reason for an update unless it's to coincide with a newer YT version but no bug fixes needed that I can see.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
For The Last Time :

There is no need for Vanced frequent updates.

1. Google push out algorithm ad updates. ( robots AI ,there are very few humans at YouTube, Google. )

In 5 years there will be only Ai at Google. You may ask who programs the Ai then? My answer unfortunately is YOU DO!

2. Server side updates create recommendation algorithms. And may mess with you too.

3. Unless there is a major overhaul of app design, its pointless to update.

Ads started showing on my PocoF1 with latest Vanced version.
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
It isn't as worse as the one that come before and during the video. The ones on the home are not intrusive at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Yeah.. We can't really work with that. Anything else you'd like to add? Screenshots of the 'Settings' section in YT might be cool. Unless you're talking about product ads on the main screen or under videos (merchandise promoted by channels), then just read the last 10 pages or so.
[Android Apps and Games] Yusei:
Not that kinda of ads.

Look at this screenshot - https://imgur.com/a/JDRWYjg

This is a alarm ad not related with anything with any channel.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
And you're absopositively sure it didn't just take an update via play store? Check Settings in YT, you should see 'Vanced Settings' there.
[Android Apps and Games] Yusei:
It's not updated.

https://imgur.com/a/aure8zn
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
looks to me like a regional ad from a region the devs don't have access to.

that means they don't have a way of finding out how to block it.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyBunnyKiera:
Anyone know of a way to get it to start videos in full screen when in landscape mode?

I'm using google assistant to play videos, so having to click the full screen button is kind of defeating the purpose. Since "Ok google, Maximize" doesn't work.

If this isn't an option. This would really make for a nice option.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
Hey all. I have a really strange question.

At long last youtube primium has came to Israel and I have subscribed immediately because I love supporting any content that I enjoy.

Problem is, the dedicated youtube app itself lacks many settings that I enjoy in youtube vanced like locking resolution, removing stories, ect...

Now the question is:

Will watching YouTube vance with YouTube primium subscription still generate the creators that I watch a revenue from me?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
as long as your watch is recorded on Google's end(which vanced doesn't actively block) it should count as a premium view, and generate extra revenue for the uploader.(yes, youtubers often earn more per premium view than per ad view)
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
Excellent! Thank you for the quick answer.

I know that primium view is worth more that is why I subscribed.

I just can't support ads - I hate them too much.

Thanks again :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
QUOTE=rippledrums;78343486]If you had used the search function you would have found out that Vanced is supposed to block ads on videos and that that home screen ad is a design issue, can't be fixed because this is a modded PROPRIETARY app and not based on source code, so you should blame Google for it and not the Vanced team.[/QUOTE
[Android Apps and Games] Yusei:
I'm not blaming anyone.

Just pointing out something that changes in the last days.

I'm thankful for this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's not something recent, ads have been randomly popping up in some countries for a very long time.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
I was just reminding ppl that its a google issue outside the scope of functions that vanced has. The original quote didn't copy well though
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
That is.. not true though. Please don't patronise users when there's no need. First post of this thread states "Blocks all YouTube ADs" as a feature and that is exactly what the Vanced team should/could pursue. Without obligations, of course (I made an elaborate statement on that earlier). [MENTION=3244268]Yusei[/MENTION] should not be seeing those type of ads with a correct installation. It could be a geographical issue I guess but I'd advise trying different paths first. [MENTION=3244268]Yusei[/MENTION], try installing the non-root version and see if you get any ads there. I'm perfectly enjoying an ad-free homepage (on the same version) as shown in the attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] Yusei:
I can try that ofc.
[Android Apps and Games] MentalDraco:
Can't get it to work anymore :( infinite loading for a week now, tried the suggested fixes, no help. From what I can see it seems it can't load profile data cause if you reinstall and don't link a account it works. Any fixes on the horizon for this?
[Android Apps and Games] Yusei:
Even with the no-root version I get the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
Yes you will because the base code is the same, Only the app package name has been changed to not make the non-root version interfere with the official YT app.
[Android Apps and Games] nerdfail:

[Android Apps and Games] Hitesh Sharma Hits:
Hey guys,

I'm having some problems from last few days. YouTube Vanced have been showing that it is in offline mode because there is no internet connection, but I've working internet connection.

It happened randomly, I have uninstalled the app & reinstalled it but the result is same. Please guys help me with this I can't live without Vanced.

Version : 14.21.54
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Uninstall the app, clear cache partition in recovery mode and then reinstall.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Yeah, but at the moment the blocking of home screen ads is labeled experimental in the settings. Also mentioned earlier. In the past, not having ads before videos is all that really mattered. These home screen ads are a _fairly_ recent annoyance. I finally got those too and they're not related to the content I view. For instance they seem to target my age range and assume I'm looking for a hookup. [emoji6]

The devs may at some point take a look at this issue or maybe not. Whatever Google is doing might be more difficult to deal with. Stuff is getting through the Vanced blocks as well as my system-wide blocker (AdAway).

Hello! I have a little problem, nothing urgent: I'm on a Custom rom, Pie, for sagit, it has stock falls installed by default. Sometimes the app freezes when launching and I'm forced to update it from play store and then uninstall it again in order to have the app working again. Anyone else had this problem and solved it? Thanks for helping
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Have you tried using the non root version?
[Android Apps and Games] Taurusha:
Could you say, do we have another way to restore the connection and resolve the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] zilexa:
I have two Pixel 1 phones. Both have the exact same Android version and 8 out of 10 apps are the same. Unfortunately, on one phone Vanced does not work it keeps saying I do not have internet.

The phones have been bought 2 months apart. They have different Google accounts.

Both phones are non-rooted. So there is no TWRP or Recovery or whatever you call it these days. I am not planning to mess around like that, wasted a whole lot of time of my life on that.

2 questions:

How is it possible it does not have internet on one of the phones?

How can I make Vanced work on the other phone without unlocking the bootloader etc?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you mix up the order of installing microG, or perhaps install an older version?

you need the latest version of microG for vanced, and you need to install it before installing vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] zilexa:
I didn't know there was an order?

It worked fine. Something must have changed after I updated both.. or after I upgraded to Android 10.

I just cleared cache and storage of each app. Then removed each app. Installed microG via the website and Vanced via XDALabs. Opened Vanced and this time I could login (last time when I reinstalled microG I was already logged in but the login popup also showed a connection issue).

I logged in successfully and Vanced works fine now!
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
"what do the kids call root things these days?", that made me giggle. It's actually not wasted time at all. It gave you valuable lessons (one of them being it's not your thing). ^_^

I'll answer your question with a question. What's that weird spot on my arm? My other arm doesn't have it. You can't answer that because you don't have the right information. So please provide us with more useful info. The best way to get that is by providing a logcat.

"I can't create that, I don't mess around with my phone", I hear you say. Yes you can! No need to make a mess: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ture-logcat-for-detailed-bug-reports-0167774/
[Android Apps and Games] Taurusha:
I'm did next steps:

1. Removed the vanced account in system settings > accounts > vanced Google account with old logo.

2. Cleared cache in MicroG app

3. Cleared app data in YouTube Vanced app

4. Open Vanced and login to the application again

And after Vanced working as expected.

I have a problem with Vanced since updating to EMUI 10 beta, the small pop-up doesn't appear but the audio is playing. Is this a known Android 10 issue?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Not sure if this'll work but here goes..

Clear data from app settings (VYT) and if that didn't help, uninstall and reinstall.

Not sure whether you're using root or not-root.

Or else try the non root if you were using the rooted (or Magisk) version.

Sorry if this doesn't help.

Edit - for non root, install microg then VYT.
[Android Apps and Games] AthlonGFX:
You could just create a live usb of Ubuntu and use that temporarily to do what you need to do to install magisk
[Android Apps and Games] TheMDJ:
is development dead ?
[Android Apps and Games] LazyBunnyKiera:
Naw i got it. My initial solution was to install it onto a rooted phone, and copy the files over. But xfileFIN gave me an easier solution.

If you go over to the Odroid forums, into the Odroid-C2 Android section, you'll see a post by yours truly on how to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:

[Android Apps and Games] lenana:
Though good for avoiding ads, I believe some users don't consider vanced app as perfectly fine. Like in my case, manually changing resolutions everytime a video loads isn't exactly 'perfectly fine' . A senior member a while back said that the issue of resolution presets not sticking was due to some changes by google, yet the issue is not prevalent in ad ladden default app. I am not saying vanced is bad , no, but its is definitely not working 'perfectly fine'. I appreciate the hard work though.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:

[Android Apps and Games] snafinet:
