This is how it looks in my device:

I'm using Vanced YouTube v15.43.32, logged in to my account.

As in your case, under Account, there is only option to 'Add Account'. Already added accounts do not show up there.

I can confirm, that latest Version 16.14.34 cannot connect to my chromecast anymore, even on a complete re-install from the scratch. Tried on two different devices (Smartphone/Tablet) with two chromcast units. An update to fix this would be nice :) Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] krepsz:
Same here. Reinstalled all components and still cant connecting to my Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] prexda:
:

Because added account does not show up here. It's visible in system settings: Settings > Account and named "Vanced microG"

I'm after clean install microg/manager/and new version YT vanced.

Its much better than before, battery not drain 30% in 30minut, but is not perfect as in previous version.

Chromecast still not working <- that's hurt.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
That's true. I was just responding to the query.

v16.14.34 was causing excessive heating and also huge battery drain. Apparently the reason for that has been discovered, but we will have to wait for the developers to release the updated apk.

Chromecast is broken.

But I reverted back to v15.43.32 and there are no heating or battery drain problems with it. Swipe to refresh also works on the Homepage (although not always).
[Android Apps and Games] 10Tab:
My casting was broken as well on all devices

I cleared storage, did all the settings again and it seems OK. Real test is to reboot and see if it still works because on some it stopped working after reboot.

Next time though I will just stay behind on updates and only do it if I get that update message in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] trooph:
Hi. After the recent update Vanced is causing much higher phone temp and very quick battery drain.

Before the update I could use YV for a whole day and have around 50% battery left.. now after 6 hours phone is hot and no battery left:)
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
After restarting my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 8.0.0, Stock ROM), YouTube Vanced disappeared (ROOT) and had to be reinstalled. What could be the reason for this?

EDIT: Fixed with YouTube Vanced 16.16.38
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Fairly common problem that has already been addressed in this thread.

Should have been fixed in the newest updates, but if you're still experiencing the issue flash the Magisk module that was posted a few pages back.

Trying to download and update to 16.16.38 with manager 2.60 and failing on dpi.apk.

Have to cancel install to get out.

Any advice.

Edit.. I uninstalled existing version first and reinstalled from scratch and it was ok.

Youtube music vanced installed to 4.25.52 without issue.
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
1. Home Screen refresh issue still exist.

2. Minor UI annoyance in dark/black mode. When writing a comment in dark/black mode, and you double click on text, then the popup floating Toolbar that appears, covers the entire Textbox, where as in light mode you get clean thin floating Toobar. See the attached images.

This issue exists on 15.xx series too. Not sure if it was there on 14.xx series

I am using non-root version on Samsung Galaxy M30s and Android 11

MicroG version is latest.

Please look into it. Thank you 🙏

Manager v2.60 and YouTube Vanced root v16.16.38 working fantastic for me on Android 11 ABC rom on my Pixel 4XL and also on Android 10 stock OOS 10.3.9 on my Oneplus 6T! 😁💯
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
For those who are facing Home Screen Refresh issue, then if you can live with these ads (see the attached image), then a definite working solution is to

Turn off "General layout ad removal" option in vanced "ad settings". You may need to restart the app once.

Working fine on Vanced (Non-root, 16.16.38, Android 11)

Thank you 🙏

I'm confirm version 16.16.38 (nonroot) Chromecast error. still crashes even when install complete fresh and install over version 15.43.32. I'm back to version 16.02.35 it's still too good. I'm waiting for the bug fix version again. Thanks Vanced Team!
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
I do not use stories feature so it was always off for me. I have tried many other combinations that prompts for immediate refresh. And as you said after refresh/reload the Home screen refresh issue seems to be fixed but only temporarily, sooner or later it stopped working.

The solution i suggested is working fine, across multiple app restarts, multiple video watching.

***Magisk Files for YT Vanced v16.16.38***

​

For more background info, and installation / troubleshooting info, see this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83741225&postcount=17198

YouTube 16.16.38 .APKS / YouTube Vanced 16.16.38 Magisk Modules:

YouTube-Vanced-16.16.38-Dark_Magisk.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693791207

YouTube-Vanced-16.16.38-Black_Magisk.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693791206

Stock YouTube 16.16.38 APKS (.zip file): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693791205

(sorry, AFH doesn't allow uploads of .apks files, so I zipped up the stock apks file before uploading)

note: btw the module id tags are the same in each module, so you can easily switch between dark and black by simply flashing the other module and rebooting.

-------------------------------------------------

* For some reason, on my older devices (Nougat), from an existing Magisk install, I can simply install the new APKS, then flash the new module with the new version and reboot, and the app works perfectly. Basically just a simple "upgrade" with all settings intact.

* But then I've noticed on my newer devices (Pie, Q, and R), doing that exact same procedure will cause the app to force close after rebooting, making it necessary to follow the steps I outlined in my previous post that I linked at the top of this post. Not really a huge deal, just annoying and need to redo the settings and preferences. However, it does seem to update properly without issues by simply adding just one additional step before the upgrade - disabling or deleting the old Magisk module first and rebooting, then updating.

****************

So basically, probably the safest steps to update from my previous module versions would be:

- Disable or delete my old Magisk module. REBOOT.

- Install new version APKS via SAI.

- Flash my new version Magisk module. REBOOT.

And like usual, from here you can change between dark and black theme by just flashing the other and rebooting.

****************

I think it may have something to do with the way the newer SDK levels handle split APK installs. I think perhaps having the Magisk module enabled when updating YouTube causes some components to be unable to fully install - but only on newer versions of Android. Ultimately, my older devices can skip the one added step of removing my old Magisk modules before updating, but in either case it wouldn't hurt to go with the steps I outlined above - it's more of a failsafe method that works in both scenarios.

---------------------------------------------------

Here are the custom YouTube Vanced app logos, for those where it's not showing up for some reason. Use these if your launcher allows changing app icons: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=319601

...and finally as usual, the biggest thanks of all is reserved to the entire Vanced development team! Thanks for continuing the work on this project!

Hey, where can I find the skip silence option? I can't seem to find it.

Version 16.16.38 build 01.51.00 - Oneplus 8 Pro

do you know if it was removed? if so why it was removed?

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Can this be resolved if we use an older version of microG?

Edit:

Installed older version of microG with v16.16.38 and it didn't help.

Had to revert to v15.43.32 and everything works as expected. Currently on microG v0.2.16.204713.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
When or if casting is fixed can we get an update in big bold text letting us know so it's not easy to miss? That would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
What's so special about the latest update that people want to live with it, even if broken? Any special or new features?

I'm using v15.43.32 and microG v0.2.16.204713. Everything is working fine. I guess I can update microG to the latest version and still everything will work. It is the Vanced YouTube v16.1x that is broken as far as I understood.
[Android Apps and Games] tiendatts:
Updated version 16.16.38 and my phone have an issue when I change to landscape mode => the brightness did not keep as last changed.

Note 8 non-root.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Vanced YouTube v15.43.32

microG v0.2.18.210500 (Latest)

This combination is working fine too, including Cast feature. I noticed two things upon updating microG:

1. Battery optimization notification (which can be turned off under Settings)

2. Shared Controls notification when casting:

Don't remember seeing this notification before. Is this a microG thing?

So the latest Vanced YouTube v16.16.38 appears to be responsible for the broken Cast feature, even though the changelog blames microG for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nitz18:
The recent non-root version (v16.16.38) of Youtube Vanced (including both dark and black themed apk) has been detected by MaxSecure as Android.Android.Win32.SpyNote.e, which is a remote access trojan.

Note: The Vanced manager which is downloading this trojan file was downloaded from the official website (vancedapp.com) as well as github.
[Android Apps and Games] Deanro:
I have the huawei mate 20 x with the latest version of vanced non-root. Vanced force closes the moment I open it. Is there a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Nitz18:
Refer my comment#18,835

The possible reason could be that the file itself seems to be infected with trojan.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
I still can't login with this new version. Any tricks?
[Android Apps and Games] Deanro:
But how do you know for sure? Why would the vanced team step so low as to slip in a trojan?

At this point do you suggest installing with the previous version? If so, where can I find it?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Weird thing:

Version 16.16.34 appears to be clean. Plus the HybridAnalysis website report just classes.dex (the first of the list, where additional vanced code was not added) as infected file.

Seems really a false positive.
[Android Apps and Games] Nitz18:
Try checking each file downloaded by Vanced manager with VirusTotal and you will also find dark.apk and black.apk detected as trojan (Android.Win32.SpyNote.e).

The previous version (v16.14.34) was clean (not detected as virus/trojan). You may try to find that version in github. But my only concern is why YouTube Vanced (the main app) requires so many permissions including reading and sending messages, reading contacts, NFC and so on. Vanced Manager and microg don't require such permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I don't believe this is a Vanced issue, or even a YouTube issue, if I understand what you are asking, because YouTube doesn't open links that aren't YouTube links. The links should likely be opened by your browser, so there is probably an issue with what you have set as default for opening the links.
[Android Apps and Games] :
In truth all permissions are the same of YouTube stock (checked from play store), so this is not a real proof of infection.

Anyway I've tried to resign black.apk with my key, and antimalware haven't found anything after a new scan.

Weird...very weird...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Many sponsorblock improvements and copy url/repeat buttons inside video player. 😉
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Install v15.43.32. It will log you in fine. Then update if you want. But 16.16.38 has broken Cast feature. Also, a member has informed that the app is being flagged on VirusTotal.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Many infections happen when you download the files, or when the host (the file server) is hacked. It is not necessarily the developer (s).

You can download v15.43.32 using Vanced Manager itself or from apkmirror.

Hi,

Updated to latest version using Latest Vanced Manager on Phone with specs:-

OnePlus 5T

Rooted

OOS: 10.0.1

was Running YT Vanced 16.16.38

Had 2 issues now.

1). I was on a video call and phone died due to low battery, I rebooted after a little charge and Vanced was reverted to old version 16:02:35

Old UI and Icons.

No issues, I used manager again to upgrade, and once installed.

2). Home screen and Shortcut Icons are Stock YouTube icons !

Earlier they were New Vanced Logo everywhere since I updated twice in last 1 week as per release details of Vanced.

On my other non-root phone, the Sexy Icons of new Vanced is shown, not on rooted one.

any Ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
I have disabled link opening for the original YouTube app and set Vanced YouTube app to open all YouTube links.

If I play a YouTube link on the Google app, it opens in Vanced YouTube and plays fine.

But with Google News, it isn't working. Same holds true for Google Play Store. Many apps post a video thumbnail on their Play Store listing that should normally open in the YouTube app. Because I have disabled opening links in the original YouTube app, these video thumbnails are not playing. Clicking on them animates the Play button but nothing happens.

Is there a way to force these links to open on Vanced YouTube?

@Team Vanced

Can you add support for such links? e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
You could deinstall YouTube via adb
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
I would rather not. Because the problems I want to solve aren't something of too much significance. Although it would be nice to have them solved. :)
[Android Apps and Games] thierrybo:
Since I upgrade simultaneously to vanced yt 16.16.38 and Microg 0.2.18.2105 when I cast to my chromecast. The message is (roughly translated in english).

Update Google services.

YouTube Vanced will not work properly until you update Google play service.

Ytv work, only casting does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] Deanro:
very cool. Will do as you suggest. Thanks man
[Android Apps and Games] :
Anyway...Just forgot the false positive result from virustotal. I've also installed their scan app from play store yesterday, and it found an infection (just from one scan engine) on an official app (Shazam).

It's really something without any sense.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
This isn't a Vanced issue, because I have the non-root version working as you describe, clicking a Google Play video opens it in Vanced.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what I did to get it working. Getting Play videos to play was the most difficult, I remember.

I do have stock YouTube disabled and then it is a case of setting up default apps correctly.

Below is how I have YouTube Vanced set up. I am surprised to see that I have Vanced set to always ask, because it doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
I haven't disabled the stock YouTube app. So may be that's the reason. I have only set it to not open any links.

Despite setting Always Ask, some links open directly in the Vanced app without asking. I guess it happens when you click on a YouTube link from the Google app or one of Google's apps. It is the same that I see happening on my device too.

[Android Apps and Games] blu.italia:
Hello Team,

Please can you usw in future every time a higher Version number for Youtube than the latest official Version number? It is Vetter for the play store, so we will dont See Youtube in play store available. And because of this we can't youtube update by mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
It will not help since sooner or later YT will be updated on Playstore, whereas Vanced updates come less often

If you have non-root Vanced, you don't care (it has different package name than official YT). You could update YT, or uninstall the official YT, doesn't affect Vanced

For the root Vanced you must disable auto-update for YT in Playstore (not for all apps) or detach YT from Playstore

Anyway, all that was many times discussed and instructed how-to in this thread, hence if needed, please read the older posts

[Android Apps and Games] Milind Goel:
Known issue. Please read changelogs before reporting duplicate issues
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
For those experiencing duplicate Chromecast entries when casting, the problem is caused by microG. But the good thing is microG offers a fix within the app itself:

Enable 'Cast Duplication Fix'.

The disadvantage of doing that is that the Shared Control Notification disappears once this switch is enabled:

Hi every one. I just switched to a new phone and installed youtube vanced via the site installed of via magisk. Anyways I was using an odler version of vanced which worked fine. This new version works fine to. but.. In the older version when pleying youtube and going to the home screen or anywhee else I got the PIP window. Which is great. I also get this window in the new version. But with the old version I could close the pip windows by pressing the X you tube stopped playing. The new version does not stop playing and I have to go back to you tube to stop it.

I have been searching for a setting to change this back to the old ways but I cannot find it. The only thing I can find is to disable background play completly but thats not what I want.

Any suggetions?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
You can drag down to end of even - push it into the background from PiP. For me it stops playing when I do that.

Sorry it's not a full solution to the issue you have but at least it will stop the playback.

You can then go and close it from the drawer drop-down.

If you are concerned when one out of all the sources VirusTotal uses detects a virus, then I don't think you understand the purpose of using VirusTotal. Also, MaxSecure is considered a very basic and simple anti-malware solution and MaxSecure itself has been reported as containing a virus by other antivirus programs.

[Android Apps and Games] fire_of_mind:
Shush... Just smile, nod and keep using YouTube Downloader.
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Not as far as I'm aware. There's no law that says you must watch ads. There's also no laws that state you must pay for background play. There are however specific laws forbidding the download of copyrighted material that you don't own the rights to in many countries.

So, afaik TeamVanced currently aren't breaking any laws. Googles TOS? Maybe. But Vanced can't be prosecuted by Google for breaching TOS.
