That's not it, it should be under /data/data/com.google.android.youtube.

com.google.android.videos is Google Play Movies & TV

I don't know why that folder isn't generated, I don't have a rooted device. You could try installing the nonroot, search and duplicate the /data/data/com.vanced.android.youtube folder as /data/data/com.google.android.youtube, check that the permissions match and see if that works.

Or perhaps:

1. Update the youtube from the Google Play store

2. Open the app and see if it now saves the settings (yes, you now have the original youtube version)

3. Remove the updates from youtube (disable it from the settings and after that, re-enable).

4. If it did save the settings in step 2, I believe it will save them now as well.

Come on, I already answered that.

Hi everyone! I tried to search the thread but couldn't find anything similar. So the problem is when I'm trying to reply on any comments or write a new one, I can't see what I'm typing. So the keyboard is overlapping the comment text field. Is there any solution? Samsung S9+.

Can no longer install it

Hi,

I've successfully used Vanced for a while on my Zenfone 2 (Stock Android 6.0.1, rooted with superSU2.82SR5 and TWRP 3.1.1). Using the x86 root package v.13.28.54, ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip with sh config file. Although it was detached and the youtube update was disabled, the playstore installed a new version on my system. So here is what I did to get my vanced back:

I uninstall the official youtube with a root uninstaller

Ran the vanced installer in uninstall mode (ytva_use_this_settings.sh → UNINSTALL="YES")

Clean every youtube files and folders in those paths:

/data/app/

/data/data/

/system/app/

/system/priv-app/

/data/dalvik-cache/

/data/backup/com.google.android.gms.backup.BackupTransportService/

Ran vanced installer with no error (see attached log)

Check that it properly installed the app in /system/app/ with proper permissions (755 and 644)

Reboot multiple times

Unfortunately, there is no youtube listed in my apps (as system app or not).

I tried more:

replace the vanced version (/system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk) with the official one 13.28.54 from APK mirror, properly renamed and right permissions

reboot and it was not detected neighter

rename from /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk to /system/app/YouTubeVanced/YouTubeVanced.apk and reboot.

I found another related file on my root partition but didn't touch them: /data/data/com.google.android.gms/files/com.google.android.youtube:gh_escalation_options:1603612030

I'm running out of idea about what could prevent the system to get it properly installed.

Would there be a way to force the system to detect any new app added to /system/app/ other than just reboot ?

Please see attached TWRP log and filtered logcat. This one shows errors related to youtube.

This should point the dev to right direction about what happens on my device.

Note: I can easily convert other user apps to system app by just moving them from /data/app/ to /system/app/ and renaming structure from AppID/base.apk to AppName/AppName.apk. Only YouTube (vanced or official) fails.

HELP !

Edit: I ended up restoring /system and /data from a TWRP backup made the previous week. This solved the issue but finding an answer to the question of this post can be still relevant for others and future.

Hi everyone,

I own Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android 8.0.0, Magisk v16.0 and Youtube Vanced 13.28.54 Build 01.25.00, installed as Magisk plugin, and every time i play video, lock the phone so it play in background, and then unlock phone by fingerprint, phone stuck and restart itself. It doesn't happen when i unlock phone by button. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
All you had to do was remove the update and Vanced would have been back. Just delete the one in data/app. It did not replace the one in system, it just installed the update in data/app which overrides the one in system.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
I realized that afterwards. But now that I have properly cleaned all the paths from youtube and installed vanced in /system/app/, why is it still not detected?

Question about YouTube Vanced running in the background without PIP. So when I have the small window at the corner I swipe down to make it disappear so I can just hear audio in the background without the video playing. It was working before but now when I swipe down it closes it out totally and when I swipe from the top to have the option to hit play the box is gone from the drop down. I checked the settings and nothing.. Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] AbhishekS:
Started using YouTube Vanced few weeks ago. Wonderful app. Just have one small question - How do I check if there is an update available for YouTube Vanced and how do I update it?

Is there an in-app option to check for updates?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
No there is not. Just check here, or Vanced site for updates.

Method of update depends on which version you use. Root, non root, magisk, etc.

Non root, just download APK and install. Root and Magisk versions, follow the same instructions you followed to install, but use updated APK.

What is the latest version of this & where can I find the changelog for versions. I can only find v 13.28.54 which is quite old as er the upload date.

Also, I can see two different builds for each version with diff hash, can anyone explain the difference between those.

[IMG="Screenshot of the same builds"]https://1fichier.com/?wp6mrl5ofw5h7j34k734[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] Paschfire:
Yes that's the latest.

Read the OP.

Root/Non-Root versions in either Dark or Black .
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
I already read & check the OP before commenting here, & didn't find anything written about the latest version & anything about the changelog, thus asked.
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
Changelog and latest version will always the one available in magisk manager. So am not sure whats with so many confusion.

am not gonna talk about non root version though.

by the time people decide to use moddified stuff, i guess they better understand that best way to do it is always through root.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Changelog has been linked by the team in some of the release posts. But the 2 different versions are simply white/black and white/dark. No big mystery what the difference is there. It's in your screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] Shoubyy:

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
All this does not happen for me using the magisk version. and since you have posted no logs or any other relevant information there's not much anyone can do.
[Android Apps and Games] Shoubyy:
You're right,

I'm using the latest version 13.28.54 on my un-rooted s7 edge.

As for the logs, I enabled the option in the app but I don't know how to see them
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I'd be willing to bet that it's Samsung's optimization that's killing it in the background. since the app is running in the background and also your screen is off Samsung optimizations will usually kill an app in that state.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
Yes, I understood that just right after posting this, silly me, just overlooked the dark & black title, & about the changelog, that should've been posted into the OP IMO
[Android Apps and Games] pi4a7a:
Any planned update to 13.32.50 ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I think we should start building roms with all kinds of battery optimization disabled for vanced. But then people will start complaining about poor battery life. To fix that maybe I can add code to stream power along with media from Google. So playing videos will also charge your phone's battery. But before I can start working on all that, I first need to fix my Telepathy, then only I can fix all those pending issues people posted with any logs and useful infos.

PS: If anyone could donate some time, that will really helpful!!

Oneplus 6, now stuck in a bootloop :/ Any help guys i cant really give more information
[Android Apps and Games] Paschfire:
Then I suggest you re-read the entire Bug reports & FAQ thread you just quoted(including the OP), as it clearly explains how to get help with issues.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I don't think this app can cause a bootloop (continuous reboot) but you probably don't mean bootloop at all, probably stuck on boot animation (not a boot loop by the way). But without logs of any kind, how can anyone possibly help?

Maybe try, After an unsuccessful startup, boot into the recovery. Using the built-in file manager, get the file console-ramoops, located at

/sys/fs/pstore/

See if it has anything useful. Or even an install log, anything...

Sometimes it seems like people just troll here with "don't work, please fix" or similar.

Can't give more information? What? You gave NO information. Not even which version (root, magisk, etc) not even the method of install.
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
flash magisk uninstaller. or delete the module using magisk recovery manager.

and reinstall magisk afterwards

the only thing might causing your bootloop after module installation is when your magisk was derp to begin with.

have a clean magisk install

I love this, I don't know why I didn't install it before.

One question, so even though I uninstalled youtube app, after installing Youtube Vanced, there's update button on Youtube in the appstore, So i'm guessing the phone thinks Youtube is installed, does this mean I can't even hit "Update all" button when I have 10+ updates at the same time? Do i have to update them one by one and always ignore Youtube?
[Android Apps and Games] unhappybirthday:
Or you could hit Update All and cancel the YouTube update before it installs.

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
This is THE most discussed topic in this thread. Detach from playstore. It has the same package name so yes, playstore thinks it's YT. You can open the playstore listing for YouTube, tap the menu button in the upper right corner, untick auto update. Then you can update all. It will ask for confirmation of YouTube update being disabled when you update all. That's it. For some people, playstore re enables the auto update for it. Then you can look into detaching Vanced from the playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] Sagar Sharma01:
Pinch to zoom feature isn't working for me.

Am using latest non-root Vanced vr.
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Easiest way I found is to go to the Youtube's Play Store page, tap the three dots on the top-right corner and uncheck "Enable auto-update". Then you can use the "Update All" button, at that moment it will tell you something along the line : "You have disabled auto-update for YouTube, do you want to skip it", here just press skip and it will skip only YouTube's update.

I tried to detach the app from Play Store but it keeps auto-reattaching after a while which was even more annoying, but if you're interested in that method there are plenty of "how-tos" in this topic.

Reddit user saying the linked download in OP is getting flagged for viruses? Is this just a false positive or should we be concerned about this? He ran the download link thru 'virus total scan' and thru 'reverse it' and both said there was suspect code.
[Android Apps and Games] NBruderman:
Probably he fell for a copycat site (the site is open source, so some assholes are exploiting it). As long as you are using the official site (the one linked at page 1), you have nothing to worry about. Personally, I use this app for a while now (including the latest version), and it never showed even a slight trace of malware or virus
[Android Apps and Games] SonicRevival:
He posted the link in his post. It's the same one listed in OP (it's exactly the same). Hopefully it's nothing, just wanted to see if others had any knowledge of false positives with the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
there are 2 scanners used in those multi-virusscan services that throw a false positive.

they give out a generic virus warning, which shows up if there's a line of code that could potentially be part of a new virus nobody discovered yet.

you shouldn't take such warnings serious unless at least half the scanners used by those services throw a warning.

- add a button on the video screen to minimize it in pip mode.(maybe by long click on minimize button ).

Thanks for this mod, works perfect with microG to be able to login. I deleted all Youtube updates and dehabilited the app (cleaning cache and data) before install this.

I want to make a point for this bug:

Preferred quality and Preferred speed not working for playlists (Trying to find a better hook).

If you don't do next/previous and let the playlist run by itself, the quality selected maintains but if you use the buttons, it's reseted.

I have setted on preferences 1080, but then I ennabled "Resolution checks".

How do you detached youtubevanced from play store. I've tried flashing detach files but still not working, I've tried installing vanced through the universal installer but still youtube is attached to playstore
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Nevermind, fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] SonicRevival:
Am I the only one that has both fully updated and enabled official Youtube app AND Youtube Vanced on their phone? I keep hearing people need to uninstall the official youtube app or disable updates but I've had no issues, and I haven't had to do any of that. Are those with these issues using the rooted version (I'm using non-root, with microg ? Just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Disabling the official app is required for root or magisk based install since the installer uses the same package name to get login working.

In non root installation, it uses custom microG to let you login and can coexist with official YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] boojay:
