[Android Apps and Games] cognitivedissonance:
Back a while ago there were a good number of reports about YouTube just force-overwriting the root version which then made for a lot of hassles trying to work around it. I'm not talking about accidentally updating it either, I'm talking about it being force-updated. I had it happen more than once, and I was extremely careful to uncheck auto-update and only ever updated my apps one by one. By the way, that's another issue -- manually clicking update for each and every app becomes a big-time nuisance, especially for those who join a few betas.

Also, you're talking about removing and replacing a system app, which is inherently more risky when it comes to detection. Certain apps have gotten extremely good with their detection schemes and if they break, people are left trying to do a whole crazy slew of troubleshooting to resolve it -- truly, it can be like finding a needle a haystack. Conversely if you have an issue with the non-root app, you can take 2 minutes and roll back to a previous version without any hassle.

So sure, different strokes, but let's also acknowledge that the root version is an inherently more risky approach, that is harder to troubleshoot if it breaks, is more likely to cause problems with other apps, and forces an annoying one-by-one update routine on you. Assuming you aren't experiencing the battery drain from the non-root version, it seems like the root version really doesn't offer any added benefits, but comes with a lot of added potential issues.

If I give you the choice between chocolate ice cream A that may melt a bit too quickly, and chocolate ice cream B that won't melt too quickly, but might make you puke and catch a cold, I'm pretty sure you'd want to try to stick with ice cream A if at all possible.

What works for one may not work for another. ;)

I primarily use the Vanced root version of YT and YTM.

I try to find the time to test the non-root versions also.

As for the force YT updates.

I leave Auto-Update active and only remove it from a few apps.

Mostly beta apps so I can take a look at the changes before I update.

I only run into an unexpected Auto-Update on YouTube was when I forgot to change the update settings on a device.

Then all the devices that I had logged into the same Google account, would also switch to Auto-Update on YT.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cheers all. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Since back ago Vanced well improved the root version and its installation procedure through the Vanced Manager

Stock YT (if there is a newer version installed) can be removed in the systemless manner - which means there is no risk because once the replacement in Magisk is disabled, system returns to original.

Actually, if user has SAR read-only system, he can not make any hard changes on system (hence also not removing any app), hence not even by TWRP. Only in the systemless manner which, by definition of the Magisk systemless term means that no real change on the system is made, whatsoever.

Only, Magisk dynamically mounts the changes every time on every reboot.

Disable Magisk or disable that replacement in Magisk and you are back to your pristine stock system.

And if anything goes wrong, there are several ways to disable Magisk or its modules - but this is out of the scope of this thread, everything is well documented in the Magisk documentation on Github

Instead of disabling auto-update for YT, the app can be also detached from Playstore in which case it doesn't appear in Playstore list and there is no nuisance or risk to be manually clicked for update

But no problem, you can use your old non-root version and enjoy.

It doesn't make sense to repeat things (wasting of time) that were already discussed here in this threads: pro at contra for root or no -root and the workarounds.E

Everyvodyshould (first) go through the old doscussions, use search if needed, etc.

thanks for reply

i have magisk 22 on my phone and it is in hidden mode.

I deleted all youtube data and removed all updates, then I activated debug mode, connected my moto z2 play to the pc and with adb I gave the following commands:

- adb devices (to be sure that the pc sees my smartphone)

- adb shell

- pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.google.android.youtube

youtube has now been removed, it is no longer in my installed apps and if I search on the play store, there is the INSTALL button but if I try to install YouTube Vanced, it gives me an error and says that there is already a version of youtube installed.

So with Solid Explorer and root I went to system> data and here there isn't folder's youtube but in system> app instead there is the youtube apk and an OAT folder, then ARM and two files YouTube.odex and YouTube.vdex.

Can i remove this folder or crash the system?

[Android Apps and Games] JimZiii:
Could use some help.

Maybe 2-4 weeks ago swiping down to update the front page in the YT app stopped working. I've uninstalled vanced YT and reinstalled it and i still have the same problem. In the regular YT app it works fine.

Also, i tried enabling/disabling settings and narrowed it down to "general layout ad removal" so just installing vanced YT i instantly get this problem since it's on by default, until i disable that setting.

This issue just appeared out of nowhere without me updating the app or changing any settings so I'm thinking it might somehow be connected to YT's ads.

I had the same issue. I downgraded to a few versions back.

If I alter the Vanced settings, I can't refresh videos. Having to clear data to restore this ability. Furthermore, if I clear data in current version 16.02.35, I get nothing but loading circle. I have to install version 15.43. 32, open the app, then update to vers 16.

Hey guys, just got my new Redmi10Pro, running latest MIUI Global 12.0.10. I am trying to setup Vanced YT no root (I want to keep bootloader locked for now)

So I get the notification to turn off battery saver for microg. But when I do this and I reboot the device battery saver for Vanced Microg is turned back on by itself and after some time the notification to turn off battery saver pops up again.

I tried clearing data for Microg, enable autostart. But doesn't help.

MIUI optimization in developer settings is disabled.

What can I do?

Also for Adguard I turned of battery saver, but for Adguard it's working and it doesn't turn battery saver back on after reboot.. So why is this happening with MicroG?
[Android Apps and Games] pursuitforce:
Hello, guys.

Can someone help me - is youtube vanced draining much battery while playing in the background for roughly 3 hours? Battery lost around 35-40%.

[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
I also have a Redmi running 12.0.2:

AFAIK the autostart issue can be overcome by going into Apps management screen, open microg settings, then change battery settings to No Restrictions under Battery saver.

Worst case situation, turn off notifications for microg.

Miui optimisation under developer settings is disabled:

No idea how to fix this but I am curious how you got Vanced installed without turning optimization off.
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Try clearing cache and restart.
[Android Apps and Games] dumbl3:
So I guess I should be more clear. When I set 'Vanced MicroG' to No Restrictions in battery settings and I reboot the device the settings are not retained and battery saver is turned back on. This seems for now only to happen to Vanced MicroG. I also disabled battery saver for Adguard and my clock widget and for these apps the battery saver settings are not being reset when I reboot the device..

And I said I have disabled MIUI Optimization in Developer settings...

I also tried force closing and clearing the cache for microG to no avail..

I can turn off the notification, but doesn't seem like the best solution. I think it's a MIUI bug though, duckduckgo tells me I'm not the only one with this issue..
