I tried also with install via USB activated,but only with miui optimization turned off, should I try again with miui optimization turned on?

I would like to let you know that I uninstalled original youtube via adb, the first time I forgot to clear all updates, si when I tried to install YT vanced it didn't work because it said that I was trying to downgrade, then I had to reinstall the original YT via adb and revert all the updates and then unistall it again via adb. Now When I try to install vanced it doesn't give me the error of downgrade but it gets stuck in this installation loop
[Android Apps and Games] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
Yeah but this is only one time. If you change to portrait mode and then get back to landscape mode the brightness is on the setting you "swiped" on YouTube before you turned to portrait. Since then it works for me flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Generally, Install via USB should work on Xiaomi phones better than Disable MIUI optimizations (besides, switching MIUI optimizations On and Off produces unwanted problems with other installed apps)

Make sure you start with no YT or with any version lower than v16.20.35 (that version of the latest YT Vanced)

E.g., if you have the built-in YT (stock app on the System), version older than v16.20.35, then leave that older version but remove all updates (Settings, Apps)

If you don't have the pre-installed YT app on System, then uninstall YT (as the User app) from Settings, Apps

That way try to install YTV root from Vanced Manager or alternatively as a Magisk module:

The swype to seek feature. Is that the one that YouTube did for a while where you could run your finger across the screen to seek?

If so I think it's broken for me and I can't find it in settings anywhere.

The only other possibility is it's the old feature where you can drag the dot across the seek bar.
[Android Apps and Games] -GREY:
Hi everyone,

I have discovered something about this app.

Telcos here in my country are offering several data plans that have data allocation for YT only.

Example:

For $2, I can avail 8gb data open to all web, plus Unli Call/Text, and 8gb data allocation for YT good for 7 days.

I have discovered that when I'm using YT Vanced, it uses actually the regular data not the data intended for YT. I hope you get my point. I suggest devs would do some working around about this. Dont get me wrong, I am not demanding. I am just raising my findings for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] xNAPx:
Unfortunately,activating install via usb doesn't work either, do you recommend to reinstall YouTube via adb and then keep it by unistalling all the updates and try to install it again?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Still don't know exactly what is the problem on your phone

However, to install YT Vanced root (no matter how many times you install/uninstall in advance), you must install it as bundle/split app!!!

To install any bundle/split app to MIUI, it is needed to have Install via USB enabled (although some instruct that disabled MIUI optimizations is needed) - that's what I'm saying all the time

Are you able to install YouTube v16.20.35 by using adb install-multiple from my post?

Alternatively, go to www.apkmirror.com, search for YouTube v16 20.35, the split/bundle version, download and use ApkMirror Installer (find the instructiions on their pages):

YouTube 16.20.35 (120-640dpi) (Android 5.0+) APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror

YouTube 16.20.35 (120-640dpi) (Android 5.0+) APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

www.apkmirror.com

Once you succeed to install the YT v16.20.35 as a bundle/split app (and for that, as I'm saying you need to have Install via USB enabled but you can try and/or with MIUI optimizations Off), then I can give you further instructions how to manually finish the installation of YT Vamced root v16.20.35

But first confirn that you installed the YT v16.20.35, and please provide a screenshot from the /data/app installation folder as mine attached below

However, if you cannot install the official YT v16.20.35 (as a bundle/split app) then sorry, I can't help further

Why it must be YT v16.20.35 installed as split/bundle applucation - simply because Vanced root (no matter how you install, through Vanced Manager, manually or as a module) replaces only one (base.apk) from the bundle of the official YT apk files.

If you have any other version of YT, it will not work because the latest Vanced base.apk was made by making changes into the official v16.20.35 base.apk from YT.

If you install YT as a singular app, then Vanced base.apk cannot replace anything - similarly if you cannot install YT v16 20.35 at all

You can try with older Vanced root versions (but it won't help if you generally have problems installing the bundle/split YT app to your phone), or you can choose instead the non-root YT Vanced (coming with MicroG) - it comes as a separate, stand-alone application, that can be installed to your phone in parallel to the official YT
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
I was going through the known issues in vanced version 16.20.35. The last line in the image shared here says :

Swipe down to refresh (it's a litho bug)

What does it mean? (litho bug)

And a request to developers to please fix this refresh bug, it is annoying to say the least.

For those who are fine with static ads on home screen, the temporary fix for the refresh bug is to disable

"General Layout ad removal option"

On non root version this temporary solution is working fine for me for over a month now. Should work on root version also but not sure.

Thank you 🙏
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Btw (sorry if known or mentioned earlier, I was not aware), it is possible to install Vanced YT non-root without MicroG - like in the anonymous mode (without logging to any Google account) - install the Vamced bundle from ApkMirror:

Honestly I solved this by installing back the original youtube systema app via adb, I cleared cache and dat and uninstalled all updates, then I run vanced manager with MIUI optimization enabled and install via USB enabled, then the installation process went ok and simply replaced the YT original app
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Probably important here - are you talking about the root or non-root Vanced YT
[Android Apps and Games] Yevgen.A:
That`s the solution. We should not remove original youtube and youtube music before using vanced manger. Device is rooted.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] xNAPx:
Yes, basically removing youtube via adb prevented vanced manager from completing the installation process,and good news you don't need to turn off the miui optimization
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Even though the changelog blames it on microG, can you explain why the same microG version doesn't cause that problem with Vanced YouTube v15.43.32?

Doesn't this mean that the bug is actually with the latest version of YouTube app and not microG?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
I'm using Vanced YouTube v15.43.32 and microG v0.2.18.210500 and there are no problems whatsoever. Everything works, including casting.

Version 16.x was causing excessive battery drain and heating on my device, so had to revert Vanced YouTube to an older build.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
I am not that familiar with microG.

I only install the vanced microG version when needed. ;)

Since the casting error normally wants you to update Google services for casting to work...

I would venture to guess that there was a change in Google services that microG has not updated or implement the change properly yet.

Newer versions of YouTube would be utilizing the change in Google services.

An older version would not require the updated change in Google's services.​

Wish I had a better answer for you. 🙃

Cheers. :cowboy:

PS.

I normally use the root version.

I test the non-root version when I can.

When I use voice search on my phone and get Google results, tapping on a YouTube video result will open that video in YouTube. I'm trying to see if there's a way to automatically open such search results in YouTube Vanced?

Hi I have Samsung Galaxy s10+(G975 F_Non rooted). I have installed youtube vanced (16.20.35) with help of vanced manager. Initially it was not working after updating with latest samsung update (patch 1May2021). It somehow start working. Bit now i can't cast anything with vanced app to my chromecast. However, chromecast working perfectly with default youtube app. When i try to cast it with vanced app it redirect to some play store page which always say try again. Any solution

N.B: I'M newbie and haven't experimented many things yet but wanna do so without bricking the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
Hi please search the forum before posting. The Chromecast feature is broken in the latest release for non-root version (in fact in all 16.xx.xx release).

Nope.. swype to seek only work on progress bar (red line on the bottom of video). Normally you should be able to swype or tap on progress bar to jump into specific timeline. But in vanced latest version, it become swype only (I don't know whats the point of this change). Anyway you can re-enable tap option in vanced setting >> misc.

I prefer the swype to seek option through screen rather than only on progress bar.

Yes. And it doesn't happens all the time.. After watching some videos, my cpu temperature suddenly rising up out of nowhere.. Sometimes it doesn't. Wonder what causing these phenomenon exactly.

From reddit

This combination let's me cast without issue...

YouTube Vanced: 16.02.35

YouTube Music: 4.18.50

Vanced MicroG: 0.2.18.210390

To downgrade:

- Open Vance Manager then uninstall the latest version

- Click on the vertical ... on the top right corner then select Settings then Clear downloaded files

- Go back to the main menu then install YT Vanced again. Choose 15.43.32. If you want to use 16.02.35, you must first install version 15.43, access to your Google account on this one, and then update to version 16.02.

Update: version 16.14.34 with Vanced microG 0.22.212658 works too.

Hi.

I had this happen a while back.

I do not remember the version or device.

I had to (under Settings, Vanced settings):

- Toggle ad blocking off and restart YT Music.

- Toggle ad blocking on and restart YT Music.

I might have rebooted in between??

Give it a try and see if it fixes it for you.

I've used Vanced for ages and haven't had any of the problems others have. The Manager app also makes things easier.

One request, though, is it possible to get rid of the toggle which hides the versions in the Manager app? I don't see the logic of hiding the versions.

Great work. Always appreciated.

YT Vanced Version 16.20.35

MicroG Version 0.2.18.210500

Bugs I found so far:

1. Swipe down to refresh sometimes didn't work (uncommon).

2. My last watch progress aren't saved when I reopen Vanced >> Library >> History. (quite often)

3. CPU resources randomly increases out of nowhere (fairly often).

*Edit: I think I just figured it out what causing CPU resources suddenly increases. It happens every time I'm using slider (seek bar, progress bar, or whatever it is) to jump forward/backward through a video. My device becoming hot too. Is this possible to resolve?

4. Media control playback never shows up on notification panel unless I open in-app setting window and it suddenly pop up. (*Edit: Fixed)

Overall Vanced is a life saver ❤️

Is the progress meter accurate? Because if it is, then Vanced buffers and constantly throw away part of the buffered stream... In other words, the grey bar grows, then shrinks, and grows again (over and over, throughout every video).

i've downloaded youtube vanced and microg from apkmos.com site because it doesn't require turning off miui optimization, is it safe or not ?
[Android Apps and Games] G1ML1:
No
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
That's not the official site. So assume it's not safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Beshoy_:
Okay, what about apkpure ?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
First of all, have you tried installing the official but without disabling MIUI optimizations?

And instead, try by enabling Install via USB (also in Developer options)

Second, if somebody copied the official installation package to their side, how and why would that (downloaded from place B instead of from the original place A) install with a different procedure?!?!?!

If it really installs with a different procedure, then it obviously cannot be the original installation package - hence the question is pointless and if you insist to download from the other place, experiment on your own risk

Anyone know why when I reboot the YouTube vanced icons for YouTube are replaced by the stock icon? After a few hours on on time the YouTube vanced music app did the same as well. They didn't update because they are still the vanced versions but the icons won't stay as they are.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
That sounds odd, I have never seen that happen. I personally have this stock YouTube app disabled (non-root). It would make me think that they are reverting to the stock YouTube apps instead of Vanced, but you say that is not happening.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
If he icons are being replaced with stock google YouTube, that is because the playstore has replaced vanced with googles default YouTube app. The behavior (icon change) is the first indication that it has happened. you have not confirmed what makes you so certain this is not the case.

You need to detach youtube from the playstore to stop this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] AbdoDridi009:
I don't have that option there.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
I have run into the same behavior on a few devices/roms..

Normally it only happened after the first/second reboot.

After a while, or another reboot (or a few) after using the app, the stock icon was normally replaced by the vanced one.

Mostly it is on my OnePlus 6T, stock OxygenOS.

It would pull the icon from stock YouTube before the mount overlay happened.

Only cosmetic, did not affect vanced YouTube. ;)

Cheers. :cowboy:

EDIT:

PS.

If the icon is correct in the app drawer but, wrong on the home screen..

Remove the shortcut on the home screen and recreate it.

Well aside from being able to minimise YouTube and still have playback as well as screen off playback and no ads the vanced settings is still there in the settings tab so it's clear it's not being updated. Although even tho I have auto updates off YouTube is still trying to update it just fails. So for now it's clear it's just the icon that is being replaced.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Having the "Vanced Settings"in the menu is the obvious check it has not been updated.

Others have posted suggesting it may be a cached icon, which in hindsight, I could understand; never seen anything like it myself, but it sounds like you are seeing it now. The fact you had the Vanced icon and then the youtube icon, thats weird and harder to understand.

Turning off updates for YouTube does not work to stop an update. Turning off updates completely for all apps also does not work for YouTube. You need to detach it. The most effective ways I know are either sudohide (if you have exposed installed) Or the detach method I built in my app TeMeFI.

Please make background play option more flexible.

Namely:

1. If i disable background play (I don't want it when i just minimize), I still can see picture in picture. And I can see the headphones icon which should make background play. It works only if a allow background play.

Please let me send to background and play if I press this icon. For now it stops. To stop video I can press X in this p2p. So for now i just lose the option to background play and two buttons have the same action - close p2p and stop a video.

2. Add a button to send to background video and play.

Again: I want this button coz I don't need a background play when i minimized the app. But if I need a background play so i just press a special button for it.

Source used for playing video contents.

I was wondering that when we play an offline downloaded video with mobile internet connection ON, then is the app playing the video from the local source or is it still streaming the contents from the online source?

To find it out I played an offline downloaded video with the internet connection on. Then after a minute, I turned my mobile internet connection OFF.

The video kept on playing but this is not giving me any clarity about what is happening.

I wish to know whether the app was streaming contents from online source and when the connection was lost it automatically switched to local copy, or the app was playing the video from local source from the start.

Also what happens in the reverse case i.e. your internet connection is off and you are playing a downloaded video. Later on while the video is being played and I need to go online for some reasons then will the app switch to online streaming source since the internet is now available or it will continue to play the video from the offline copy.
