I have used magisk version of vanced 14 on a custom android 11 rom with nikgapps nano . Gapps work fine, even gpay works, so no issues at all. I decided to update to the latest vanced 15, removed an old version, installed vanced manager and installed yt vanced 15 (root) from it. It loads, but after boot says that the phone doesn't support google app services. Is there a way to make it work without microg? Don't want to install extra apps.
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
Still crash/stopped app after few day of install. Do You have any idea?

[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Post #17387 you will need to install extra apps though. You'll need Split Application Installer (SIA) since YouTube is now split.

Which version of nik gapps did you flash? Maybe I can find something. Did you flash any gapps addons?

Yes, I flashed NikGapps-Addon-R-Velvet-signed. The version of nikgapps is core-arm64-11-20200926. Thank you very much for looking into the problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] Oxofrmbl:
I'm just a random user [emoji28]

But i just found in telegram group of yt vanced, that it's indeed a gapps problem.

You should be good if you setup your phone with other gapps or you have to use rootless version.

Maybe reflash your gapps package / update it (if update available) or you can maybe try other gapps. Flame gapps doesn't seem to work eather

Copied from tg chat note

"So these are the current issues/bugs present in latest vanced. Take your time to read it. Don't report them again and again.

1. Zoom to fill being broken for some users.

2. Pip bug(that's stock yt bug so Google has to fix it)

3. Some geographical ads which depends on region to region.

4. Root version disappearing for some users on some ROMs due to unknown reason.

(Fix- Use non root or install root version using sai instead of using manager, see #installation for sai guide)

5. Swipe gestures don't work on offline videos.

6. Vanced(root version) not supported on android 11.

Fix- Use non root variant or use different Gapps/official android 11(pixel software) or stick to android 10.

7. Blocked contacts under History & Privacy crashes. [Won't be fixed cuz it won't work anyway. Use official YT if you use this feature]"

Maybe it helps to set fingerprint to pixel 4xl with a11. With the hide props magisk module

Edit: changed list to the latest
[Android Apps and Games] egekonuk:
Pinch to zoom not working/reliable on Oneplus7t. I tried both root and non-root variants

For me it's same, it's vanced bug. Wait for update or try to downgrade version

Edit: im wrong its a Google bug

[Android Apps and Games] Milind Goel:
That's old list you sent there but ok. New list doesn't have 1st and 8th. And zoom to fill is broken(WORKAROUND- close the video > go to history and watch again from there. It should work as per reports. Otherwise if you find any different workaround, feel free to share)
[Android Apps and Games] Oxofrmbl:
Damn you're right about the list, I also just noticed. I edited my post
[Android Apps and Games] Lanex777:
Thanks for your help, maybe you are right. I did some investigation here and there and found that some people say that it's gapps problem, others say that it's Android R. Would be thankful if someone using nikgapps, Android R or both will share his experience with the latest vanced rooted version just to be sure.
[Android Apps and Games] davigotardo:
someone?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for that write-up. I am on Stock OOS 10.3.6, the screenshots I made before weren't really important, just showing the Youtube strings I also typed out.

I thought I had done a full clean install last time but just to be sure I re-did it following your steps. And it now behaves differently again (but still not working).

After I've cleaned up everything and reboot, I checked the following:

No YouTube folder in data/app/*

No Vanced folder in data/adb/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/service.d/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/post-fs-data.d/*

Now I install Manager 1.3.1 and Update Vanced Root (Light+Dark), then open YouTube. Vanced loads properly now and I checked the following:

Manager shows Vanced is installed (latest version number 15.43.32), shows Reinstall option

1 YouTube folder in data/app/*, [String1] contains base.apk + all split.apk files etc.

Vanced folder in data/adb/*, contains base.apk

vanced.sh file in data/adb/service.d/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/post-fs-data.d/*

Now I reboot again. then open YouTube. This time stock Youtube loads instead of Vanced (no FC or other error) and I checked the following:

Manager shows Vanced is NOT installed (stock version number 14.49.51), shows only Update option

1 YouTube folder in data/app/*, [String1] contains only base.apk

Vanced folder in data/adb/*, contains base.apk

vanced.sh file in data/adb/service.d/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/post-fs-data.d/*

Now I Update Vanced again from Manager, then open Youtube. Vanced loads again, and I checked the following:

Manager shows Vanced is installed (latest version number 15.43.32), shows Reinstall option

2 YouTube folder in data/app/*. [String1] contains only base.apk, [String2] contains base.apk + all split.apk files etc.

Vanced folder in data/adb/*, contains base.apk

vanced.sh file in data/adb/service.d/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/post-fs-data.d/*

Now I reboot again, then open Youtube. App force closes. Try Reinstall option from Manager. App still force closes and I checked the following:

Manager shows Vanced is installed (latest version number 15.43.32), shows Reinstall option (not working)

2 YouTube folder in data/app/*. [String1] contains only base.apk, [String2] contains only base.apk + 'oat'(?) file

Vanced folder in data/adb/*, contains base.apk

vanced.sh file in data/adb/service.d/*

No vanced.sh file in data/adb/post-fs-data.d/*

After this, Reinstall doesn't work anymore (stops after downloading base.apk), and all I can do is start all over again.

This is all done without having the magisk module installed, just Manager+Vanced. I have repeated this proces 3 times now and it follows the exact same pattern every time: first install+reboot after installing Vanced it goes back to Stock, second install+reboot leads to FC. I do not have any other modules installed that affect YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] flappy81:
It seems there are numerous issues with these latest releases. Also I'm having a weird issue where the display is dimming at random in app.
[Android Apps and Games] stiggerby:
This may have already been reported but the latest update is surviving reboot on my 6t, whereas it wasn't before.

Nice!
[Android Apps and Games] lpcurcio:
Finally something that works. Perfect!! Tks !!!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] raulci:
Thanks a lot for your work. It saves me!

Last version is not working fine after rebooting and Vanced Manager doesn't provide a way to install old versions (or at least I couldn't find it).

So thanks for your work again! ;)

One tiny thing: I liked the Vanced YT icon but now I have the boring original one. Is it possible to change the icon to the Vanced one?
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Glad it's working for you guys... Between all of my devices and family/friend's devices, I needed an easy, quick, and consistent way to update YTV across multiple devices, so I ended up doing this (thanks again to those who helped prior; I wouldn't have bothered otherwise, lol), and figured I might as well share it here.

As for the icon, yes, the Vanced icon does kick ass. If the Magisk module overwrote/masked the base.apk (in other words, if it did its job, it's working and you can launch Vanced successfully), it should eventually update the icon. If you check on the app info through Settings, it most likely should have the Vanced icon, actually, because the (system settings -> apps) pulls the app icon directly from the base apk, iirc. You might just need to give your launcher time to catch up, or possibly reboot again. If it still doesn't change, I can't help you unless you're using a launcher capable of customizing / editing the icons.

Here are the YTV icons pulled straight from the .apk:

Seriously, if anybody on the Vanced team or any mods feel like I'm stepping on anyone's toes, please let me know and/or kill the link.

[Android Apps and Games] kodein:
Do the same procedure as you did, but also delete ART / DALVIK CACHE in twrp ... Then reinstall the vanced manager and vaced youtube.
[Android Apps and Games] robalm:
It's not a vanced bug, it's the same problem with official youtube 15.43.32.
[Android Apps and Games] Oxofrmbl:
Yeah I already realized that it's a Google bug
[Android Apps and Games] robalm:
"vanced bug" is a "google bug" ok got you.
[Android Apps and Games] raulci:
Thanks a lot for taking the time to upload the icons.

I own a Xiaomi Mi9 with MIUI 11 rooted (of course). The icon is the Vanced one in Settings, but it's not in the launcher. I'm using MIUI standard launcher.

So thanks and don't worry. It's not an issue.
[Android Apps and Games] MatroxD:
How in the world do you stop playback while your scrolling through the potential videos. Mine is auto playing during both my favorites and the home tab. I looked under auto play, but it shows nothing, and does not work...

This is annoying, as it's adding to my history, so when I go back to look for a video I watched, I have to scroll through tons of videos that I did not watch.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
Settings, General, Muted Playback In Feeds. Turn Off. Not obvious.

[Android Apps and Games] tito_puente:
Question related to MIUI: A friend of mine is using a redmi note 8. I installed vanced for him via SAI before the vanced manager was released.

I know that MIUI optimization has to be disabled for installation. I have done this. After installation I turned optimization on again. All is working.

Question: Can I know install vanced manager to be sure that vanced and micro G ist up to date? Or do I have to disable MIUI optimization every time I want to update some of the vanced apps?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Last two versions (actually several times because I was updating the phone and reinstalling apps, etc), I installed root version from Vanced manager without disabling MIUI optimization, with no problem

Xiaomi Mi 9T, MIUI 12, A10 - previously for SAI I had to disabale MIUI Optimization
[Android Apps and Games] tito_puente:
That would be great. Then I can install vanced manager for him and he can update vanced by himself. Device is not rooted an my friend is only a "normal user", and not so firm with the different settings.
[Android Apps and Games] stiggerby:
Are you using the root version?
[Android Apps and Games] marcioafoliveira:
Yes, on every reboot it disappears. When I update the ROM, most of apps from Google returns (Youtube, Chrome, etc) and I delete them on TWRP (I go to product/priv-app folder and delete the app folders).

When I install root version it works but when I reboot disappears again.

I'm using non root to have YouTube on my phone but I would like to use root version for having less apps installed...
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Post 17387 Install this way.
[Android Apps and Games] marcioafoliveira:
I tried that also and when I reboot after the install is complete is not found...

I don't know if I did something wrong when I delete the product/priv-app/Youtube folder.
[Android Apps and Games] evildog1:
I have root and disabled signature check using ":)" to install root version. I have the same problem that it stops working after reboot

I take a look on /data/app and i see 3 youtube folders. 1 of them contains split apks and 2 of them contains just base.apk

After reboot, i noticed one of folder are missing which is the one that contains split apks. I wonder what caused to delete it. Is it some sort of security?

Before reboot

After reboot

[Android Apps and Games] lilbrat:
might want to think again about the less file thingy.. and you can't delete the bottom 2 apks as vance will stop working...
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
You should only have one folder - And that is the folder with Split APKs.

Now, I'm not an expert so it's upto you if you take my advice, but the first place I'd start is to delete the two folders that aren't required before rebooting.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

You used all the files in his post? You cannot use Vanced Installer you must use SAI. Also, make sure you've deleted/removed any previous Magisk Modules before using the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] marcioafoliveira:
Omg, what a noob, I was doing it wrong, thanks for the tip.

It's working now, thanks ?
[Android Apps and Games] evildog1:
Ok. I did some research in PackageHelper.kt https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedM...ava/com/vanced/manager/utils/PackageHelper.kt

I figured it out it does some sort of mount binding, like bind apk from /data/adb to /data/app. I couldn't delete the remaning folders due to mount bind, so i deleted the sh scripts from /data/adb, reboot, all gone from /data/app then i can delete apk from /data/adb/Vanced. I hoped this solved the problem but NOPE... now Youtube system app completely gone (i know it's still in system partition) :confused:

Reinstalling vanced back works again

This issue was reported on github but closed https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedManager/issues/212

The latest dev branch did not work for me so I can't confirm if it was fixed. I'm not an android dev anyway, just know how to use Android Studio :)

How are you installing Vanced? If you haven't already, check out the post I linked on the previous page.

Also, you mentioned in your last post that you disabled signature verification, you know you don't need to do that anymore, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Vicxx:
I used the manager to install microg and vanced, but if microg isn't running vanced thinks it's offline. I didn't have this problem with the older version I installed with the SAI method.

Edit: fixed it by downloading the manager from vancedapp.com instead of vanced.app.

Hi. Since 15.43.52, I get heating issues with my OP6. I use YTV for a while and that's never happend.

Often 4 of my octocore go to 100%. Even when the playback is paused or backgrounded.And when I force close YTV, those guys come back to normal use. Temp rise to 70°C.

I tried to wipe cache and data but still have those pb.
