Just kidding.

You have to uninstall and install again YouTube and / or YouTube Music in the manager app again. First it will install 15.xx, than you sign in, than update in manager app to 16.xx.

The manager just installs the normal YouTube App???

Where is the old Magisk module?!
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
The manager installs the official youtube app and overlays it with the vanced app using a script on boot just like a magisk module would.

However some people are experiencing issues with the app deleting/disappearing after a restart of the device.

There are a few magisk modules floating around created by independent devs or members, you should be able to find them with a search of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] MoL_82:
The Vanced Team does not work via a Magisk Module since quite some time.

I had the same issue via Vanced Manager; first time it installed stock YT. I just installed it a second time (over the now stock YT) via Vanced Manager and that solved it. I now have YTVanced installed.
[Android Apps and Games] dandare1980:
Unfortunately I'm also experiencing issues with casting to my Chromecast after upgrading.

I decided to clear the app caches and storage of both YouTube Vanced and MicroG then uninstalled them completely.

After starting from a clean installation, following the recommended process in Vanced Manager - success!

However, 24 hours later and the fault has returned. It cannot detect the Chromecast.

Returning to the previous version restores functionality. I also have to use the MicroG option "cast duplication fix" to prevent 2 devices being shown, one of which prevents you from controlling the volume of the casted video.

Other than that the new version is performing well. It's such an awesome improvement over the original.
[Android Apps and Games] braschlosan:
Why are the Vanced team against Magisk? this seems like a much better method than installing it by hand with signature verification disabled
[Android Apps and Games] Bi0haZarD:
It is indeed a much better method for root users, but don't forget that there are people who don't want to root their devices for several security reasons.

Btw i always root my devices, but that doesn't mean everyone should do the same, right?

Peace out.
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
@Philnicolls89 pretty much explained it already in his post. Anyway, the manager's root install method doesn't require disabling signature verification anyway. To go into a little more detail, (I believe and I could be mistaken) I think the problem is that the installed location can get quite wonky, including and not limited whether due to OEM implementations, version of Android, ROMs, and/or user modifications. Then sometimes we see the multiple com.google.android.youtube-(x) folders with seemingly multiple installs. I believe (aka again I could be wrong) that this has something to do with the failed root installs, and unfortunately it isn't the most simple solution to fix either as there are many variables.

Disabling signature verification was believed to be necessary at one point, until it was discovered that it was possible to install Vanced root without disabling sv by installing the equal version of YouTube with a split apk installer, then overwriting the base .apk with Vanced's .apk. Essentially what I mentioned above, and also what we're essentially doing manually when using these recent Magisk install methods.

But then again, this is just from simple observation as I don't use Vanced Manager to install it, opting to use Magisk, seeing as it's much more reliable in my opinion. So again, I could be wrong about the specifics.

As for why the Vanced team is "against Magisk", I don't think it's a matter of them being "against" Magisk, but having found an alternative method that requires much less user "experience" and reducing the possibility of user inability to follow instructions, by simply installing via the Vanced Manager. When we use the Magisk install method, you need to make sure to follow the specific order of instructions - and imagine how many users wouldn't bother to read any of it and complain about how it's broken when it doesn't work out for them. Unfortunately, neither method is perfect, but I also don't blame Vanced team for opting to work around the problem by using the method they implemented into their Vanced Manager. Since the Vanced project started years ago, their threads have been plagued with whining and complaints, and I'm surprised and equally grateful that they continue their work.

Anyway, with all that said, I decided for simplicity and convenience sake that I would just keep my first Magisk module post updated with links to the new releases as they come out. So if anybody wanted to bookmark a post, this is the one you would want to bookmark:

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
They are not "against" Magisk, its simply not the chosen method. Also installation via Magisk is normally for systemless installlations of things, not 3rd party/data installations. Basically, use the right tool for the right job.

How to install v16 in miui because I'm not able to install apks using adb(Previous versions can be).My miui version is 12.

I didn't try to close "miui optimization" because then I have to set all permissions again which is time taking task.

No other method is working for installing apks.

You have provided last version into single apk which I got from "apkmirror.com" and easily installed using adb.But this time you have provided bundle apk which couldn't be installed using adb.

Please provide solution for miui users.

The issue of app disappearing after reboot in root version has been fixed in the latest vanced manager. But this magisk module will save you stress of re-downloading in case you change custom rom , gsi or do software update.
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:

You can get non-root on APK mirror. If root, you could use official YouTube from APKMirror and then flash the Magisk module for Vanced.

What is the differences between root and non-root versions?

Also is there some guide or tutorial to explain some of the options in the settings of vanced youtube and vanced music? I have non-root version and some options im not sure what they do/change.

Everytime i open music, it will give me a full screen ad to subscribe to premium, is there a way to disable this ad?

Offiicial site:

Vanced

The official website of Vanced - a Video client for Android (Not affiliated with Google/YouTube).

vancedapp.com

Vanced devs usually do not participate here, hence if you are willing to, you can take time to write a guide or so here to XDA🤓

For the matter of fact, new people are really asking the same questions, and yes, all of them have been sparsly answered, part here, part there, etc. When I was coming here for the first time, I spent two evenings reading, searching, experimented myself before I asked a first questions (and yet, that was also something already mentioned earlier)

Anyway, one of your questions was about difference between the root and non-root.

Instead of an answer (I do have both but on different phones, I'm not a heavy YT user, also I'm not using Music, and I'm just fine with playing in the background, not seeing ads and being able to choose higher resolutions), just a suggestion:

- If your phone is not rooted, don't bother about the root YTV

- If your phone is rooted, you can install both root and non-root YT Vanced, to the same phone (!) and compare which one you like better and why.

Some people even have problems with properly installing root version and use the non-root instead

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
By crashed I will assume you mean overwritten/replaced; as you mention its fixed by re-installing. The word "crash" implies an error is being generated.

As said above, you need to detach YouTube from the playstore. For that you have at leat 4 or 5 options. Installing the Non-root version, turning auto updates off for youtube, Sudohide, hinxnz detach script or my app TeMeFI.

Ok,

This time I had no support here on the forum, but I've found the solution elsewhere.

I write here the solution I've found, maybe it will help someone else.

1) install Vanced Manager

2) install with VM Vanced MicroG

3) install Youtube Vanced BUT don't select the latest version but select a previouse one (i've opted for 15.43.32)

3.1) login your Youtube account in YTV using MicroG

4) upgrade YTV to the latest version using VM

hope it helps someone else ;-)

How did you procure the base.apk Vanced app included in your Magisk zip? Unlike Vanced's official non-root apk, the version in your installer works with the original microG. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Nope, it's kind of the definition of root to have Magisk also. And the method in particular - we're letting YouTube 16.02.35 get installed the normal way any system would, and then using Magisk to overlay the modified base.apk, systemlessly. But to replace the base.apk, whether systemlessly or not, requires root. Also, sorry for the late response.

I have several older, spare (and rooted) devices. I just use Vanced Manager to install it the normal root way, and then copy the .apk from system. If I knew where the files were hosted that would make things a little easier, but whatever. I'm also too lazy to capture the URL. Plus, I don't know maybe they don't want the URL publicly known and I wouldn't blame them either.

Wait, so you're NOT rooted and you were able to use the .apk? I don't know how that would be possible because YouTube, afaik, requires split installation and you wouldn't be able to install it with just the .apk in the Magisk zip. And if you were able to replace the base.apk over the split install, then that means you're rooted. Either way, it would technically "work" with the original microG (or none for that matter)... because the root version isn't even using microG at all... lol. Are you sure you're not rooted??
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Whever I am looking for a specific (older) version of an APK. I have found it for download on APK Mirror. I have not specifically checked youtube.

I mentioned the non-root apk only because that's what was linked in OP. I've never used Vanced Manager, but the code is open source.

So with a quick scan of the git, here's where the root apks are located: https://mirror.codebucket.de/vanced/api/v1

With YouTube as a user (not system) app, I find it easiest and less prone to issues by simply replacing the base.apk manually - no magisk module.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Actually I now tested the following and yes, it WORKS:

1) I had Vanced YouTube 16.02.35 installed by use of Vanced Manager

2) Delete /data/adb/service.d/vanced.sh and /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/vanced.sh

(First one is the script that dynamically overlays Vanced base.apk over the official YT one, same overlaying that the 'famous' YTV modules advertised in this thread also do)

3) Reboot!!!

4) Cut the (Vanced) base.apk file from /data/adb/Vanced and paste into the subfolder in /data/app/... where the YouTube is installed.

So paste the Vanced base.apk over the YT official base.apk file that was in that folder

5) Now also remove /data/adb/Vanced folder (empty after the step 4).

You can also uninstall VancedManager

Delete and cut-paste operations can be done by the appropriate root explorer (like MiXplorer) or TWRP

Now reboot, run YouTube and it will indeed run the Vanced root YouTube version, although by previous steps the Vanced script that does the overlay was deleted (and there is no module doing the overlay) - instead, YTV base.apk is hard copied over the official YT base.apk

---

Moreover, I flashed my stock boot.img over my boot img patched by Magisk and rebooted.

The phone now rebooted without the Magisk (hence without the root), but still when I run my YouTube it is the Vanced 'root' YouTube (with all features working)

Tested on Xiaomi Mi 9T, Xiaomi.eu 21.2.3, Android 11, MIUI 12.5

Installing Vanced root YT without Vanced Manager and Magisk modules - even without Magisk/root if you have TWRP

Following up the mentioned posts, and maybe few more talking about the similar ideas

- Start with no Vanced Manager, without Vanced root stuff from /data/adb (see e.g. my post above how to remove them).

Also, without YouTube - you can have YT but then it must be older from 16.02.35

1) Install APK Mirror (Bundle) Installer:

APKMirror Installer (Official) APKs - APKMirror

APKMirror Installer (Official) APKs - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

www.apkmirror.com

2) Install the official YT 16.02.35, split/bundle version. Since there is a newer version on Playstore, download the bundle version from APK Mirror:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-16-02-35-release/youtube-16-02-35-android-apk-download/

3) Install the downloaded apkm file by APK Mirror Installer.

If you have Xiaomi (MIUI), you DON'T NEED to disable MIUI Optimization (as the APK Mirror instructions claim), it will be enough to enable Install via USB option from Developer menu!

4) Now you have the official YT 16.02.35. In Google Play, disable Auto update for this particular app (not generally, for all apps)

5) Download the Vanced patched root YT base.apk from:

index - powered by h5ai v0.29.2 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

index - powered by h5ai v0.29.2 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

mirror.codebucket.de

I.e., download black.apk or dark.apk and rename to base.apk

6) Now you need to find out the exact folder under /data/app where the YT 16.02.35 from step 3 was installed. You can do it manually but to make sure that you don't take the wrong folder if you have remnants from some old, unsuccessful YTV installations, use an app like Package Manager:

Package Manager - Apps on Google Play

Powerful Tool to Know About Your Device's Application Information And App Backup

play.google.com

Open, search for YouTube, take App full details, it will show you the path to the YT installation folder

7) Use the root explorer like MiXplorer (if you have root) - or just use TWRP / Adavanced / File explorer (Magisk/root not needed) if the appropriate TWRP (or another custom Recovery like SkyHawk, OrangeFox, etc) is available for your device.

Copy the Vanced 'root' YT base.apk from step 5 over (to replace) the official YT 16.02.35 base.apk into the folder from step 6

Reboot and you will have the fully working 'root' Vanced YT (latest 16.02.35 at the moment), without Vanced Manager, Magisk modules, etc, and with no troubles like disappearing upon reboot

I have a functionality question. I was able to use youtube vanced without it really being open. The controls would remain in the dropdown even while closed. I could open it to watch a video if I wanted, but I could swipe it closed and it would continue to play in the background uninterrupted with the controls remaining in the dropdown so I could continue playback at any time I wanted at the same point I had left off without having to open YTV and search my list of videos to find where I was. I'm hoping this user error and it's supposed to be able to do that because it was awesome being able to use it that way.

It was open. It was running in the background. That is background play.

So long as you do not swipe YouTube from the list of apps running in the background (the task manager?) it will continue to play or remain open and you'll be able to control it from the notification bar.
