That is not related to YouTube at all. Please ask in your device forum. All you have in YouTube vanced is double press right side of screen to go forward, double press left side of screen to go backwards, swipe up/down left side for brightness adjustment and swipe up/down right side for volume adjustment (must be enabled in settings of app). That is it. Other stuff you mentioned are firmware-baked functions, not app related. E.g. drawing a,c,m,e,w with screen off are oneplus's OxygenOS-baked functions
[Android Apps and Games] Sgtoster:
Sorry

Ok sorry, new to forums. YouTube app is awesome thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] unconfuse:
I would accept that if I hadn't gotten rid of them with a complete wipe and new rom and it only appeared after I flashed stock gapps. The older Vanced does not have them for anyone else that's interesting. Either way they don't bother me too much but could be a clue into getting rid of them.
[Android Apps and Games] alphamars:
Which folder can I get my downloaded videos from vanced
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
none, you have to watch them through the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You cannot have the downloaded video physically on your hard drive when you select to download a video from YouTube app. You can instead use an app on XDA Labs called GetTube to download videos on YouTube:

Problem downloading 0.2.4-105 microG in Oreo: 'problem parsing the package'..
[Android Apps and Games] involuntaryqool:
Using 13.37.52 non-root version. Swipe controls for brightness are not working but for volume it is. Worked fine couple versions ago.

Would uploading a log help? I can, just don't know where it'd be located.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Using the same version here and both brightness and volume swipe controls are working fine:

Left side of screen swipe up/down = brightness control

Right side of screen swipe up/down = volume control
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Managed to install both microG and Vanced non-root (from MediaFire, not from the site) but no YouTube signing possible. Oreo 8.0.0, Moto Z2 Play.

UPDATE: After some app uninstall/reinstall, quite a few force stop attempts and similar amount of cache/data deleting of both YouTube Vanced and MicroG, I finally was able to sign in with Google account. Weird, but something was kinda stuck. This is in case someone else wants to try such a 'unique' workaround. BTW, as in Vanced root version, swipe controls not working on this device too.
[Android Apps and Games] involuntaryqool:
Yes, when I swipe up or down the brightness % does change but nothing brightness wise changes, have to drag status bar down and move it from their.

Can I ask you what methode did you used when installing YouTube Vanced? If It root methode, you can just uninstall update Youtube and manualy Push YouTube Vanced and give it proper permission in system/app/YouTube/Youtube.apk than reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] unconfuse:
Once I get those front page ads it doesn't matter what method I use. They will always come back unless I revert back 13.28.54. Except for when I only loaded nano gapps after a full work. Not going to beat a dead horse but there has to be something else besides it coming down to some people get it and some people don't. I will have to dig out my 5x and experiment.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It could be a device/firmware related issue where system doesnt allow any apps to change brightness of display or the brightness of your device /firmware is changed with a different method which is not familiar to YouTube app.

Hey can i watch 2160 p videos on YouTube my device is oneplus 2
[Android Apps and Games] raunaqseth:
Lol..

In simple words..

Your device display only support 1080 p so even if you try watching 4k on it ..

You wont be able to see that detailing you wanna see
[Android Apps and Games] PureLife90:
Is it possible to get this app to remember search history?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It does remember search history if you are logged in. If you are in incognito it cannot remember what you searched on incognito
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
The swipe controls only changes the brightness for the landscape view of youtube. It doesn't change the system brightness. That would require additional permission in the AndroidManifest.xml so can't make it work with the rooted version. Also it wouldn't work on all phones in the non-root version. Hence it only changes the "window brightness" of the landscape layout.

But 4k will actually still look better in 1080p display. Google tells you why and here is one of those responses: https://www.quora.com/Do-I-need-4K-screen-to-watch-4K-YouTube-videos/answer/George-Ou
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It will still overdrive your gpu/cpu. I have a note3 n9005 with 1080p screen but when I watch 2K-4K videos, I see deliberately very high temperature in processing units and significanlty unresponding slownplay (may be different with you cpu/gpu). But personally I see no significant difference in clarity. Unless you are mirroring your screen to an actual 2K-4K screen that is useless and not only useless but causes heat and depletes you charge.

But if you insist, there is a toggle in youtube settings/vanced settings/video settings/resolution check. If you turn it on, you can view videos with resolutions that are higher than you current screen.

See attachments

User says the volume can be changed and brightness change toast is shown but with no brightness change. These already cannot be done on portrait. So, no. The user is watching and doing these on landscape but just for some reason, the system does not allow the app only to change the brightness. Maybe it is due to non-root version. I dont know.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Of course it needs more processing power, don't think anyone claimed otherwise? And with more processing comes more heat. I can see a better quality on my phone but for me 720p is good enough so I use that. It's up to every user for themselves to decide which quality they prefer, I just said the reason why someone would want to use 4K on 1080p display.

Also I know about the button in the settings, after all, I'm the one who put it there ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Hahaha quoted wrong person. Sorry:D:D

By the way, I use 360p on 1080p display and it is pretty much enough for me... Maybe I am going blind I dont know

if you have an ad blocker, whitelist s.youtube.com

if you have a brand account(single Google account with multiple YouTube usernames) you need to merge them.
[Android Apps and Games] android addicts:
Is thia app blocking YouTube ads? Are there any way to disable ads blocking feature?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Just use normal YouTube app if you want ads.

Or you could download an ad blocker and add YouTube to the blocked list. That overrides the in app ad blocker and shows ads again.... I think don't quote me on it

Everything is fine besides these 2 problems

Hi, I've been using YouTube Vanced for a few months now and it's perfect besides these 2 issues. One of them is sometimes If I'm scrolling through comments or through videos I'll be unable to scroll with the message "Please Sign in to complete this action." but I'm always signed in and I have MicroG installed. Another is more severe, at random the app will straight up freeze besides the video, and I can't access the home screen, the app draw, nothing. Most times I'd have to restart my phone or use screen rotation to access my apps to force stop the app. Is there any way I can fix this?

I'm on a unrooted Samsung Galaxy S7.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Yes it is, especially battery performance

What if, for some reason, I want to uninstall YouTube Vanced on rooted devices and get the original YouTube app back? How can I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
You could probably just uninstall VYT and just enable regular YT, or if it was uninstalled, just install from Play Store. Or you could restore it from the app you used to uninstall, of you uninstalled it.

Just a guess..
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Just some info to the Devs..

Device - Ulefone Armor X

Android version - 8.1.0 stock

Vanced YT - 13.37.52 (non root)

WhatsApp - 2.18.305ß

I updated WhatsApp from .300 to .305.

Both Vanced YT and WhatsApp have PiP permission enabled.

Regular YT disabled.

When tapping on the video, WhatsApp shows error.

When tapping on the link, it opens in Vanced YT..

From user's view, this should be correct behavior.

I'm assuming that WhatsApp PiP will hook on to regular YT.

Just a feedback. I don't think it's due to the VTY that this behavior exists. It's how I set up my device.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
All you have to do is update in play store and regular YouTube is back :svetius:

Hi all

I'm on the latest YouTube vanced non root13.37.52 and microg 0.2.4-105.

I can log in initially though when I close and reopen the app I'll be logged out of it.

I see that a few others have also reported issues with logging in. I'm wondering as to whether there's anything that I can do to be able to log in successfully?

Please let me know if I can provide some logs.

Thank you

Have you tried removing the account from phone settings then adding it again?

The microg for VYT is the Google account with the blue background icon.

You want ads?... Why?
[Android Apps and Games] note3userr:
Maybe he wants to support the people he watches?? Crazy right??
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Very. Perhaps he can still use stock YT and support Google too. Crazy right??
[Android Apps and Games] note3userr:
Maybe he wants background play or other features other the skipping ads?? That's cray cray
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Yeah, sometimes you just can't have everything. But thinking about it twice, it would be nice to have such ads enabler. Not that crazy, indeed.
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
What if the people you want to "support" don't actually get much of anything when you're watching the ads anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Yes, you know, some people agree to reward (/"pay") the content creators when viewing videos they worked on sometimes for countless hours.

So what? It's better to give them nothing???
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Most of them have PayPal accounts. You can try direct helping. By ads only small portions gets to "content creators". I believe

[ADVANCED] - [AD]s = [VANCED] YouTube

gives it away that this should be without ads. By using vanced youtube and getting background play for free you kinda give away the reason for paying the content creators but also not paying for youtube. I dont see a reasoning here.

But let the devs of the module/app to decide. I just give my humble opinion
[Android Apps and Games] gtaadicto92:
I got a Galaxy tab S4 (T830), installed the latest non-root version of Youtube vanced but HDR is not showing up. But my Galaxy Note8 with the same version, also non-rooted, plays HDR videos fine.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Thank you for the kind explanation, and I agree with you, this is an adblocking YouTube mod and I have no issue with it as there may be many reasons to block ads on certain channels.

But people wishing to watch ads to support on all or certain channels should not be scowled at or otherwise criticized, they should be thanked as they are a large part of why there are still some independent content creators on YT.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
As I said, there are much more ways to thank "content creators" other than watching ads. Some of them advertise stuff directly in video, some put ad-supported links (and some are even worse that share stuff that we shared on XDA under their name with ad-supported links). So I know that not all of them are evil and not all of them are pure, but as I explained on my previous post, the definition of vanced was taken from ad-less. I am sure you can still use mobile browser (which I believe doesnt have adblocker since you want to support people) and get ads on YouTube to support...

But you have one more chance. You can use an app called island. It creates a work profile where you can have an app irrespective of your other apps. You can install normal YouTube as 3rd party app, move it to work profile, then uninstall YouTube app in mainland, then install YouTube vanced and watch videos you want to support only by watching some ads on that youtube app (for explanations of the unknown terms user is advised to check island app thread on XDA).

Or you can downgrade to older YouTube and get all the modules (other than YouTube adbocker) work on YouTube official app and have the bg play, swipe to seek and such working.

See? There are so many options you can do. You just need to try harder to find a solution.

;)

There is a saying in here:

"The difference between grown man and a child is that, one sits on the problem and cries, whereas other is trying to find a solution to get out"

Not trying to offend or insult anybody, it is just a saying that popped into my mind.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
What if the ads played in a virtual space – another dimension even – while you watched the content adfree; supporting content creators nonetheless. That's some adception right there. Think about it.

I'm a little disappointed in you, [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] :silly:

I mean, you could've quoted this article to give that statement more credibility and not just some random answer on Quora with zero references. In the end, there isn't any scientific proof (at least I can't find any) so I'm not saying you're wrong but I'm not saying you're right either. It could look better but that's quite subjective. Google tells us surprisingly little by the way. Lots of discussion though. Very little facts.

I did find this interesting piece where downscaling 4K to 1080p even had an adverse effect. That's right, the quality was worse. But that's about UHD players and doesn't really relate to YT (I think, lol).

Being the sceptic that I am I won't buy it. Pixels are pixels, they are just RGB squares that let content pass. Whether it's 4K of even 8K content, "only" 2,073,600 pixels will be used.

As [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] explained, the hardware also isn't equipped for it so why even bother? Because one can? It's like taking 4k shots with a 5 year old mid-range phone. Possible? Sure. Useful? Not really.
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
They're already getting nothing if they have sponsors or Patreon because ad revenue alone isn't enough. If you're wanting to view the videos and "pay" them for support, you may as well actually watch them instead of just having them playing in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
I too am having to pinch to fill the darn screen all the time, is no longer by the default, the last version to work like that was iYTBP v.12.49.55

I would have never updated but got annoyed that everytime I opened the app YouTube wanted me to update, I wasn't about to update to their crappy version so here we are:(
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
I don't need the proof myself, I can see it's better with my own eyes. As I said, Google is filled with this info, so I just took the first one that was explaining it.

Ymm? If it looks better, it IS better, right? And tbh, who cares if it is or isn't better? What matters is, does it look better? And the answer is "Yes it does!"

I already replied to this one as well. My phone can run the 4K flawlessly and it does indeed look better so if one prefers a better quality, why not? One phone can't run it doesn't mean other phones can't. I also said 720p is good enough for me and that's what I use. Someone else might prefer to run the 4K and it's his/her decision. Are you saying I should remove the choice?

Took a few reference pictures for you on my PC with 1080p screen. It's pretty clear how much better the 4K resolution in YouTube is even for 1080p display. Not to mention the BF1 video is actually upscaled to 4k before upload.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qIUejL-dk0c5gdpEdW7kf59btPV6SZ55?usp=sharing

Just look at the grass or the flag capture rates (middle top) in BF1. And grass at the bottom right or the "Fire" text in the red box at the right side building in Jamaica pics.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Just want to chip in. You really can see (even minor) difference when watching in a resolution that is over your current screen rather than watching on the resolution of your current screen. But your CPU/GPU should be able to handle it. In my case, video mostly stutters in my note3 with snapdragon800. But on oneplus 5 with 5.5" 1080p screen it might be smooth instead (i.e. smooth 2k-4k as 1080p but with observable higher resolution)

Same on PC. I have a netbook with 13.3" 1366x768 display which is slightly above 720p. But when watching 1080p I see substantial improvement (again, as I pointed out, with expense of heat and battery drain).

Is it worth it or not is user's decision. The toggle is there. For me it is useless to go over my resolution unless I am mirroring it to a bigger screen. But it is good to have the option

:good:

You should ask it to YouTube devs. Any bigger size would be like split screen and intrude to your other windows imho. Either use split screen or continue with small pip

I anyone able to give proper installation instructions for installing YT Vance on a rooted device with no Magisk? I need to ask because the instructions in the first post and on its website are utter nonsense.

I know that I need the arm64-v8a version for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and I know how to properly place the files to /sdcard/Downloads. I also know how to work with TWRP.

What I do not know and am unable to figure out is this instruction about the installer.

The Instructions lead me to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x67EYgPeLLSVzRfZyeLRCeWmbF-fUggd but the only thing I can grab there are nonsense-plz-files with no actual content and a ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip, that I believed needs to be flashed using TWRP with the correct APK under /sdcard/Downloads. Trying to flash it using TWRP just gives me an Error: 1 so I assume it's not supposed to be flashed with TWRP in the first place, causing the given instructions to be complete nonsense.

Please prove me to be a fool and direct me to proper instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
Have you read the whole first post and second post as requested in OP? Honestly, I can't even fathom on how to make the steps simpler than that. In any case, if you have read the whole first post, then you should know that the plz files are not needed unless you want to configure something different from the defaults contain in the installer.

About that issue, that might means that the twrp version is too old. Given that you didn't mention your twrp version, I should say that install the latest twrp if possible.
