microG for Vanced doesn't need spoofing to run. Anyone can use the non root version. It doesn't matter if you have root, it's just a way to install it as a user app. For some, it's just easier. Use whichever version works for you. No confusion necessary. If you have magisk, obviously, you can use whichever version you want.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

That was to fix the playstore if detach broke auto update of all apps. If the detach broke your auto update, then you shouldn't use it. Use titanium backup to detach and set a schedule to detach everyday if you want. If you don't know how, search the thread, there are instructions posted.
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
As [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION] said, they are just different ways of installing. Being rooted doesn't mean you must use the root method to install. In fact, the apps bring exact same functionality, with the only advantage of root method being it opens links better as a default app, and the only advantage of non-root method being it doesn't need google play services to sign in (since it uses it's own special microG)

This means non-root version can be used along side the original youtube app, or in your case, be used with no google play services and still be able to sign in.

Hope this helped clear things out.

If you have root version and hate Google play services full microg works fine in that case

Problemas with Magisk Safetynet

Excuse me, bit I hace an issue with the app, I have a moto G4, non plus, with android 8.1 and magisk. When I install the app, i try to use safetynet to check if passes ir, but always fails, and when i uninstall the app, the ir does pasa, how can i fix the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
I don't.

I'm saying this because he said he had no gapps and didn't mention full microg, so i'm assuming he doesn't have it either.
[Android Apps and Games] wandang:
It does. This is exactly what I wanted :)

full microg needs signature spoofing which LOS does not support (and personally I don't either).

I will try the nonroot with microg-vanced edition. Otherwise I will just use yt without login, which is fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
You don't even need magisk module to pass safetynet. You can just push it into /system/app/YouTube/ and you will still pass safetynet
[Android Apps and Games] danrm619:
Excuse me but i'm a bit new in this, can you explain how to do it correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
What exactly does that last part mean? You don't support/like/want signature spoofing or...? Not clear.

If you're ever interested in a full microG and want to keep LOS maybe check out the below. Might be a build there for your device.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] v0yAgEr:
Thank you very much for this info!

I had a broken Play Store auto-updates, so I deleted Play Store cache and data in a hope for a fix. Then, things just got worse - I didn't have any app listed in the installed apps list in the play store app.

Tried all bunch of things and nothing helped. However, enabling back this service immediately fixed the situation!

Hey guys, all i am missing is the play button. What is wrong with my youtube lah?

Is it possible to add the download video feature on this app? It would be awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:

[Android Apps and Games] agheyew:
Thanks, but it's not the same question. I've already read the first posts of this thread.

I just asked if there's a remote chance that a "video download" feature will be added in the app. If the answer is no, that's fine. I only want to know if I can wait for an update or I have to use the OgYoutube app for my purposes.
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
Uh, yes. They already addressed your question in the past thread, that's why I pointed you to the FAQ.

Same here, vanced is not battery optimized. I'm on MM rooted, no Magisk. Happens like twice an hour so I'm not fully pressed.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
What play button? Just tap the video. If you can't play videos you definitely did (are doing?) something wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
We will NEVER add that feature
[Android Apps and Games] anthonykash:
Anyway to get repeat song to work? Was able to get auto play to work by un optimizing it.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That's one of the drawbacks of using non root version. Some devices (usually Samsung) over optimize user apps to squeeze more battery out of their devices. You have to figure out how to get all the battery optimizations to ignore it to get it to keep playing. Not an easy task. It's not this mod that's doing it, it's your device. Sometimes it's even ram management that can kill it.

I don't have any of those issues here because it's a system app, but also because I can use root to protect it from any killing.

[Android Apps and Games] jackonod:
I have few older devices, which running Froyo. I just like to go back to those times sometimes. Since the last week YouTube does something very ugly. I loved to use older YouTube apps, not just on Froyo, but GB and HC also. I used the famous 4.4.11 black version for these systems. It was a possibility, before the app started to run to "Upgrade now" or "Later". If you choosed "later" the aapp started. But on the last week, when I join to the net a starting these old YouTubes no more possibility, to "later", but only to "update now from playstore". Depending on the system I, they put me on the playstore. On the GB still possible the update: of course I losing the modded black version, and updating into some YouTube 5.5 version. But on Froyo the playstore saying "your device not compatible with this app". Which mean Google killed the YouTube app from Froyo. And if this continuing, they will kill the YouTube on GB, to HC and all the older systems too...This is awful, because I dont see the reason! Of course, there is an economic: old YouTube apps not contained adds. I loved those old YouTubes, with modded black versions, your app not aloowing to install into any older system....

My humble asking, how can I trick the Google. Definately their server realizing the version number of my app when I joining with the net, and sending this ugly "update only" message before the app starting. Its funny: if I started offline my older YouTube app, there was still the "Intsall later" possibility. Then I goes to online, and the app worked perfectly. But after I closed and run again it was the "update only" ****, no possibility to skip and return back to the old app.

I'm not an expert, but I can do anything to take back my old apps back, to skipping this ugly violence, when Google forcing me to update! I'm just curious, where Google put this warning image, to upgrade only. It come up immediately when the app starting. It could be any hack on a rooted device, to skip this message, or I need to mod the apk, to hack the version number of an old app (is there any possibility to do this?) ??

If you dont want to bother with this, or not this is the best forum, please recommend me the right place to ask this. Thank you very much the help from anybody....

By any chance will this work in Amazon five TV?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Google announced the end of support for those older versions of Android long ago. Your lucky to have gotten it to work this long. Sorry.

It's not violence, it's very costly to maintain support for systems that old. Not to mention security concerns. Android has become a much more mature operating system. Those older versions are more like kids toys now. Every operating system out there has to end support some time for out of date software. It's just the nature of the beast.

And how does any of this relate to Vanced? Current versions don't work on API that far back. So...
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
Will new updates be announced here? Or would I have to manually check the links like once a week?

Solution

I'm sorry to disturbed this post with my things. The best is that me myself found the solution to the problem, and it was easiest as I thought. The only what I needed to do deleting the Google Services Framework. After this the communication stoped between the Google server and the running older Youtube app. With the older systems not necessary to run this Services Framework app, and everything working perfectly. Maybe someone else facing with this problem, who like nostalgy with older devices, even I also not using them primary...

Sorry for the offtopic disturbation. Thank you!

Hi all how are you?

YouTube vanced non root is not running on my media centre. I have downloaded the latest version for API 17 as my media centre is running Android 4.2.

When opening the application the splash screen appears the YouTube application opens for a split second and then it force closes.

I have noted that I can get the application to work if I uninstall microg this is not the optimum outcome as I prefer to be able to sign in to YouTube vanced. I am using the latest version of the micro g application.

If you require any further information please let me know otherwise thank you for your help.

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Make sure /system is mounted in twrp. But there is no reason this would cause a device to be stuck in Boot animation. All it does is place the files and set permissions. You don't need to remove YT first before flashing either, just remove updates.

Did you flash as root or magisk? I see you posted the same thing in the magisk module thread, again with no information at all. What version? File? Device?

If trying magisk, why not install in magisk manager? You give no chance for anyone to help.

What version? Root? Magisk? What file did you flash? If you got the installer from this thread, do you also have the APK in your download folder?

Hello everyone!

I had the app working (the old one) but after a while it just stopped, it seemed like MicroG wasn't working well, after searching I came to know that the old iYTBP moved here.

I attempted removing all the applications and cache in my phone and installing the new versions, but my MicroG doesn't seem to be working well (Non-Rooted Moto G5S Plus).

It's getting stuck on the log-in page after accepting the EULA/ToS it shows after inputting the password. I already checked if my account is a brand account (it isn't), reinstalled several times and gave it storage and other permissions, nothing worked.

Someone have any idea how to fix that?

[Android Apps and Games] ZaneZam:
ok to be a bit more "developish" here on XDA

DEVELOPERS

*g* i have to inform that this is not entirely true:

u know that "the method" which is used is the same as u posted (even in same version v2.6) ? i used the detach/attach method from hinxnz and put that into the module

(where i still think it doesn't belog to *g*) with one "little" exception the sqlite statement deletes the entry here (like titanium backup use to do it if u use it to detach a app

from playstore) instead of changing the permission of the particular dataset. it seemed to work better for most of the people back then "in the other thread". but es stated

on github the method is still a dirty hack and nothing more so this is by nature not a 100% solution. for some it works with deleting the database entry (btw. for me too and

that on 9 devices and differnt OS and without problems) in the database and for one it does with changing the permissions like with original method.

Just to clearify a bit. ;) but the "beauty of xda" is that u can find other options here or plenty of informations to develope your own methods (with a bit of creativity, tho)
