Hello,

I refer to one unusual case straight after installing the latest both MicroG and YouTube Vanced. Ever since that, I am unable to browse thumbnails of videos from within the app. As soon as I switch back from local Wi-Fi to my cellular network, it goes back on.

Therefore my question is, would that refer to the Vanced software (and/or MicroG), or my private Wi-Fi settings (I haven't messed up with those at all).

Interestingly though, I witness inability to browse the thumbnails now on my Win10 machine (Chrome browser) as well as my PlayStation 4 system (YT app) and have no idea what caused all this...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much in advance!

From its name "powergenie" I am 100% sure it is an app that controls battery usage and kills apps that stay too long in background.

If the app would have ANY problems with signature, you wouldn't be able to install the vanced YouTube at all.

BTW, thank you very much for such a detailed overview of event and step by step results. This may help many users in this thread

:svetius:

As you mentioned, the issue is not only on your device with Vanced, but on other devices with Google's YouTube application as well. So this shifts from discussion of Vanced YouTube to discussion of YouTube. There could be many reasons for that, including your internet provider, DNS, VPN or other steps between you and WWW.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Probably users who used the app didn't report. I don't use that PG app myself.

Could VYT be "exempted" in PG?

Just thinking aloud..
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
Well YouTube broke the keep list while watching subs,

What I mean is that when you go and watch a video from your subs and leave the video playing, when you return to the subs lists it makes you start fresh from the top no matter where you left off.
[Android Apps and Games] G1ML1:
Is VYT also restricted by EU rules?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Of course it is, these are server side measurements to ease out traffic on the interweb. You will likely still see the options available but they won't affect quality.

[Android Apps and Games] akkk33:
Did you solve it?

I also don't understand how to install apk + bin files !!
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Due to nfinished download. Try redownload and you should get a file with APKS extension.
[Android Apps and Games] akkk33:
Ok so I downloaded them several times on my phone and every time I get .bin instead of .apks!

So I downloaded them from my laptop and it was correctly installed.

Looks like there's an issue with mobile web browsers.

The application causes me frequent crashes. Do you have any idea?

DEFAULT black version. No root.

Stock Rom 8.0.0. / root / twrp.

I uninstalled the original YT using the root uninstaller. Maybe it's better if it stays in the system and I just freeze in TB?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Nope. I use mobile web browser to download the files as did 75% of users in this thread that had no such issue. Basically internet connection of your mobile is not same as laptop/pc that you used.

I dont see anything wrong in your setup. As usual, provide logs. Read recent bugreport post that was built (still WIP):

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post82023305

Since you are rooted, use matlog logging which is straightforward and easy. Record logs, detect time of crash, extract logs, identify the region from time of crash and share here as text file or code.

And no. YouTube/microG crash has nothing to do with Google's YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
as far as I know they've only set the default resolution to 480p, if you manually change the resolution you can bypass the restriction.

as vanced's resolution preference setting automates this you should be getting your preferred resolution if you use this option.

if you leave this on automatic you'll most likely receive the lower resolution(until you manually change it)
[Android Apps and Games] G1ML1:
What is resolution check?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
YouTube normally runs a check to see what resolutions your device supports.

with that setting you can forcibly enable resolutions that your device may not officially support.

Hi all,

From OP:

"Since YouTube v14.41.52, Google has moved to split APKs. The Android package installer doesn't support split apks yet, so we are using SAI as an Alternative apk installer.

Installation Instructions:

Non-Root:

Steps:

1. Download and Install microG Vanced (If you don't install microG, YouTube will crash on starup)

2. Download latest version of YouTube Vanced

3. Install Split APKs Installer (SAI) from Google Playstore

4. Open Split APKs Installer (SAI) -> Install APKs -> Select the downloaded Vanced apks -> Install

5. Done! Enjoy!"

Does this mean that I cannot install non-root version of Vanced without installing microG even if I don't need the account part? (what I want is background play)

Assuming I will install microG (one more apk consuming space on my phone) I also need to configure it or is necessary just to have it there installed?

Could I use the new apk mirror installer instead of SAI?

Best tregards

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
1. No you can't use Vanced YouTube without Vanced microG

2. Yes, you should be able to use Vanced YouTube without configuring (i.e. signing to Google account) microG. As long as microG is installed BEFORE installing Vanced YouTube, you shouldn't have any issues

3. No. SAI is must for installation of *VANCED YOUTUBE apks" file. You can't find APK FILE (instead of APKS FILE) version of latest Vanced YouTube on apkmirror. Use only the vanced.app website for correct files.
[Android Apps and Games] Siminica:
Thank you for response

For question at 3 sorry if I wasn't clear: I was talking about this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apkmirror.helper.prod - from description I understood (but I might be wrong) that also supports bundles.

Is there an alternative to SAI, since that apparently has a known issue on som ASUS devices?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Do NOT use ANY other sources than vanced.app website. If you do, then please do not report back here if you get any issues. The ONLY true files are in this website.

If you have issues with SAI, please report to SAI dev on its own XDA thread. Unfortunately discussion of SAI compatibility is not topic of this thread. The procedure is clear and no alternatives are there.

If you insist on not using SAI, install old vanced version which still gets incremental updates from Google that keeps it up to date.

You can install apk files extracted from apks (it is just a zip) via adb commands.

[Android Apps and Games] Didgeridoohan:
[MENTION=7757866]nwlun[/MENTION] What you want is the Vanced installer. You'll find that together with the old apks from the link provided on the Vanced website. With that you'll be able to install any of the apks found there as a Magisk module. And since you're using an old version of Magisk you'll also need an old version of the installer. Version 4.2, I believe.

The installer isn't very intuitive, but if you open up the zip you'll find instructions in the readme.
[Android Apps and Games] nwlun:
Appreciate on your help [MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION]. This is the answer I need instead of download ton of apk and then I can't install it due to incompatibility as i was having old magisk v18. That's the reason I post to get help here.

Hi! I have been using this app for a long time without microG and ive been updating it regularly. But now i have problem with 15.05.54 version on Android 10. Im using OP7T and S3 neo with custom rom Android 10(unoffical lineage OS). On both devices app crashes 2 seconds after i open it, its completely unusable. Older versions worked well without microG so i think thats not an issue, but you tell me. IF microG is not a prob, then do you know what it is and if there is a fix? Thank u for in forwards!

You don't understand... The question was, WHERE you see ads? In homepage/search results only? Or it interrupts your video? If it interrupts video - you are not using Vanced YouTube. If not, read below.

You know that there is a switch for homepage ads in vanced settings, right?

Anyways, if you think you would still not get ads using magisk module, you are mistaken. Google does server side updates (thanks for correcting me [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] ) to it as well. So you will get ads there now too.
