That's a very good question, but if you think this app could steal your account and password, then you should also ask this very same question when rooting your phone, how can you know if it's key logging everything you type and stealing all your data.

Use your brain: this thread looks legit, it's in xda, doesn't look like a scam web page, it's supported continually, devs interact with us, etc... all points it's all safe and secure to use this app with your Google Account.

Finally, come on, stop it with the icon. Seriously, if you are looking for an app like this, the very least thing you should be complaining about is the icon. I myself think that it's not a great icon design, but I couldn't care less about that. If the devs are fine with it, I am as well, it's simply aesthetics. What I care about is what this app does, the real work behind this app, that's why this app exists.

I presume this problem has nothing to do with the mod? https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75966077&postcount=920

Someone know if this problem is the same in youtube red?
[Android Apps and Games] Anonaru:
So much this. The icon and title screen could be as hideous as my avatar and I wouldn't think twice about using it, because the contents are what matters. Begging for instructions on how to theme it is so inane :\

You can update with magisk. If you have magisk version, root version won't install since magisk replaces system app. So if you want to use root version, make sure you uninstall magisk version first. If you mean magisk repo version. You can always Uninstall it and use the root apk with the Vanced installer and magisk option in settings.sh.

Or you can also wait for magisk repo to get updated. Your choice!

Google Youtube re-instating itself has been a common thing that we have to workaround (for people running the root version). i haven't tested the following or done any research into it, but simply came across the following and thought it may be related, and plan to look into it sometime in the future, so post it here as a reminder for myself :o

Has anyone looked into "Google Partner Setup"

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/122345/what-is-google-partner-setup

It kinda sounds like it may also be the type of thing that could check that google apps are in synch. ie control "finsky"

Help! Hey guys! So YouTube vanced was working great this morning. Just to give as many details as I can, my first day at school I opened YouTube vanced in their WiFi network which limits explicit content and restricts content like it does on normal YouTube. I switched to data which usually fixes it, but comments stayed restricted, after opening and closing it finally worked again.

After coming home, for a few hours now, YouTube vanced just loads into infinity, it never actually loads anything just gets stuck on the blue circle, all other apps and everything work fine, seriously?

2-way authentication YT Vanced login problem

Hi all, I have a problem related to the 2-Step verification for Youtube Vanced; I downloaded it from the official site along with MicroG.

After I activated that feature by my Google account I CAN NOT LOGIN ON THE APP by my account..

Is there a specific procedure to successfully manage it working? Could someone help me out?

Thank you in advanced.

Luca
[Android Apps and Games] AlvinAlsace:
Thought it was just me thank God. I turned on 2 step verification on my Google account and had the exact same problem with Vanced. Didn't actually know the cause till now. Hope someone helps out
[Android Apps and Games] kriki200:
Some system setting might be closing it/putting it to sleep...

You can try deleting its and microG's data, or reinstalling...

Hi, I installed YT vanced no root on galaxy s7, if I open the app and search videos with it works fine.. but if I play a video from the browser it open the app YT vanced but can't load the video.. I have to close YT vanced, open it again, come back on the browser and play it again. and it works for few minutes.

if I come back on the browser many minutes after and try to select another video there is the same problem, it can't load the video.

I tried to lock the app in background and to remove it from the battery optimizer but does't work.

can u help me please? I'm no logged in..

otherwise I wanna do the root, is the version G930U, but I cant find the tutorial.
[Android Apps and Games] pcll99:
this is an excellent app!

Thank you for your work.

I am using Samsung Galaxy A20, running Android 9 in English.

While using this app Youtube Vanced, I like to voice search in a different language than English.

Is it possible? How to make Youtube Vanced to recognise a different language? thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
Anyone has a problem where vanced would stop working until restart?

The spinning wheel will just go but nothing loads.
[Android Apps and Games] doctorowl:
I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted, only using Samsung Themes, but it doesn't matter if I use the default theme, dark mode, etc. Notifications from comments & replies are dark, but channel notification from subscriptions are white with red text like the default light YouTube theme. I normally have channel notifications disabled but I just turned a few back on & noticed this issue. The search shows it was first mentioned several months ago, is there a bug report already submitted, or a known fix? Just slightly annoying when the white box pops up & interrupts my lovely dark theme lol =P
[Android Apps and Games] FuLygon:
im facing this issue before, fixed it by install using root method (through twrp) instead of magisk, my guess is magisk method need original youtube installed as system app in order to save data after each boot
[Android Apps and Games] ls3c6:
Installed on note10+ nonroot, notifications happen when I reboot but not otherwise. Battery optimization is off on microg and vanced... any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Johnn78:
I unistal it from Magisk & after without any YouTube installed (neither default version), I installed Magisk version from Twrp. Now again, after from reboot it loses its settings.
[Android Apps and Games] FuLygon:
welp it make a lot of sense now if u dont have any youtube installed as default inside system, now install youtube vanced from twrp using ROOT method not flashing the magisk module through twrp, read it carefully from the website vanced.app, download the universal installer then download vanced youtube apk placing it inside the same folder with the universal installer, after that go to twrp and flash the universal installer zip file, it should install, then you can test if data reset or not, if there is an update, try install module from magisk if youtube force close or smth, then you should continue update using this way, more detail on uninstall and other thing, you should check the op post

I tried all, but unable to login to Youtube Vanced.

Onda V10 4G tab, Android 7.0, MicroG 0.2.6.17455, YouTube 14.21.54

There was a problem communicating with Google Servers

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Johnn78:
It works bro. Thanks !

If any new update releases, then it will need only to replace the apk file & reflash the same universal installer or it will need to find new universal installer ?
[Android Apps and Games] FuLygon:
for the apk ofc you will need to replace new one, and the universal installer, check the vanced app website > root method, there should be the installer with yellow button below lead you to google drive folder, you can check the installer there if it have any update

Whoever said this app is not dead in the water is full of it. Several month since an update and ads are very quickly creeping back in. They don't care about the app anymore, we'll never see another update.
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
We didn't announce that the app is dead so it's not!

And we are aware of updates if do you notice most of new features,Ui changes are all serverside changes which doesn't require newer apks.

Yt updates are usually: More ads, Test broken features then they roll back, updates for tiny stuff that doesn't require even changing apk number.

The ads you are talking about were introduced a while ago by google as commercial ads for selling products etc which are region based and cannot be tracked down all the time, giving the main dev his essential time to do what is required in his own real life is a must after that his attention falls here.

there is thousands of workarounds been posted by vanced contributors in this thread or any other official chat in case if there is any different issue.

The fact developers always kill their work because of userbase complaining about every single aspect when there is lack of updates or a feature, Vanced was created in the start to fulfill the dev's needs but it turned into massive thing with millions of users which we try to help at any time possible and with time we lost the power to continue because everyone literally everyone asks for spoonfeeding while documentations are written by the contributors of the project and repeated over and over again.

Thus posting incorrect news or complaining isn't the right thing to do as i consider it is an attempt to push the team to show up to post info but here we are!

Thanks for understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
I keep telling these guys about google server end updates but they don't listen. They just think "oh the app hasn't been updated, it must be a dead project".
[Android Apps and Games] Libra420T:
You guys really need to listen!! Yes there are click ads, but man there are no video ads. stop being dicks and be appreciative over the fact u have a kick ass version of YouTube.... ?*♂️

This is the problem with this generation of smartphone users. They suffer from FOMO so bad it is almost a medical conditon lol. They will never understand that apps dont always need an update. They would be triggered to see my play list. I have apps that have not been updated in 2 or more years. If It works there is no reason to update.

[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
And go see the post on pg 1183 regarding updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Not asking for an update, just specifying ads are an issue and maybe a workaround for the problem if there are any. If not, I can always wait until or if an update is available to address the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] paraponzi:
Yes, but nothing changed, autoplay doesn't work at all
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Ok, let me repeat myself (yet again) and use reference to the words used in the post i referenced.

Server end updates have triggered these ads. Get on the phone to google and complain to them rather than complain to us.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
And let me repeat myself (yet again): I never asked for an update, you answered my question as if to imply I were; I found that rather rude.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Well guess what, you may not be asking about an update, but the update caused the issue you're asking about. Google pushed out server end updates, which caused you to get ads. Got a problem with the ads? Talk to google.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
No. It also allows PiP and background play and more. Read the OP, there are a list of features.
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Do you know why it's called Vanced? It's ADvanced, but without the ad. Yes, it's primary purpose is blocking ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Libra420T:
OMG no appreciation what so ever. smh

this app is literally the ultimate upgrade to YouTube for free. there are no ads in video play unless casting, or pushed from streamer. Just being able to lock your screen and get background play should be the deal sealer. I mean it is for me. Once again and as always thank you for this app and all the actually help.... :)
[Android Apps and Games] GrapeBandit:
id like to see some screenshots of these "ads" all you guys are supposedly seeing.

ive been using Vanced for a while now, i dont see 1 damn ad. non-root Essential phone running q beta!
[Android Apps and Games] CDMAdroid:
There is a setting in Setting >> Vanced Settings >> Home Ads (experimental) which is supposed to block the home ads. I've seen screenshots on the discord for Vanced regarding ads in the home screen. It's a real thing..
[Android Apps and Games] redhorsemanwarLGN:
it won't block, it will show them.
[Android Apps and Games] CatPandaFish:
When toggled off, home ads are hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] Libra420T:
delete cache and data on VT and force close app. then relaunch set the right settings relaunch again.. work?

[Android Apps and Games] Ice Bear:
Although Ice Bear likes Rem, asking for ETAs is not ok.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Its not an eta on the app though. Its an eta on restoration of service to the servers
[Android Apps and Games] bradical711:
Which is still not allowed. It doesn't matter what topic the ETA is about, that doesn't justify you asking. You aren't allowed to ask for ETA's regardless. And I'm sure when the site is back up, they will let everyone know.

The YouTube Vanced app alone works fine. Once you install the microG app, it causes Vanced to force close.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Microg is only to sign in on non root version. Without on non root you can still watch whatever you want just wont be able to sign into your profile and get your history or recommended
[Android Apps and Games] JodyBreeze901:
I'm using the non root version. Something is wrong with the microg, not the Vanced application. That's all I'm saying.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
But nothing is wrong with microg. Nobody has reported this issue before and without logs and the right info nothing can be done to help you.

As a senior member you should know how to report bugs properly.

It has been mentioned here countless time that simply saying something doesn't work is useless information for anyone.

At least am android version and device type should be mentioned in aiding to fix this
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
OR clearly identify there is nothing to fix (with MicroG or Vanced)...

I use the ROOT version so know nothing about MicroG etc, but am reading a lot of posts stating an issue, but with no logs to support the statement or help resolve an issue.:mad:

Lets be clear here, "something is wrong for this specific user. ie something is wrong with my setup/install. NOT necessarily with MicroG., since many are using it without issue; ie you would appear to be in the minority. As stated above by [MENTION=8504661]garylawwd[/MENTION], without a log its useless to anyone to say there is an issue, even if just for you. A log may help someone identify if there is an actual issue with MicroG or even help them help you identify what is wrong with your specific setup. Otherwise a waste of all our time.
[Android Apps and Games] redbullman:
signing in is important for most people. Fingers crossed then that a microg update is brought out soon.

No microG update needed. Did either of you follow the tips in this thread about uninstalling both then install microG first, Vanced second. See if it helps. Also read a couple of posts up if you missed it.

Someone mentioned a similar issue back in June. Nothing came of it because the required logs weren't provided. Use something like MatLog to record at time of crash. You can then link or attach it here. Just don't paste it here (too long and messy).

Oddly, no issues here. Moto, pie.

More device specific issues without any logs or anything to help troubleshoot.

How can anyone help with issues appearing on your device without knowing what is going wrong on your device?

That's all I'm saying...

No issue opening or using vanced, non root, with microG.

So how do any of us know why your device is having problems with it if we cannot reproduce the issue.

Yes, many people report similar issues to each other, usually making the same mistakes.

Hundreds of modded devices with thousands of configurations...

[Android Apps and Games] nikzodiac:
can someone help me please?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
What do you mean you are not logged in or you would have to be rooted?

If you just install microg that comes in the downloads you can use it to sign in you don't need root at all.

Also with the non root being of a different package name it may experience issues with opening up from a browser but probably not what you are talking about.

Try installing microg and sign in and see if you still get issues.
[Android Apps and Games] redbullman:
To be fair the site was down for days and is now back up.
[Android Apps and Games] nikzodiac:
yes, I'm just talking about this issue, if I open the app and I go after to search a video on the browser it can be played on vanced.. but after many minutes vanced can't no more to play the video from browser.. and I have to close and reopen vanced again.. maybe it's killed by the system to save battery..

If there's no way to fix it and there's a way root with magisk the G930U version please tell me,I would like to install vanced rooted...

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you're seeing ads, and vanced settings are gone, it updated. That's really the only thing it can be with what your describing. The module would still be active (as you said it is)

Go to YouTube listing in the playstore, uninstall any updates. Or in your phone's settings, disable then re enable yt. Reboot in between. See what happens.

What can I do when I can't uninstall youtube update and only uninstall the app literally?
[Android Apps and Games] PacoBell:
My typical app update workflow works like this: I do Update All, but then immediately cancel the update for YouTube. All updates finish fine. YouTube remains not updated. Several days later, it just updates itself out of the blue. Stock Pixel 2 XL on Q Beta 6. We're not the only ones. Google is clearly doing something fishy with Play Services.

P.S. And, no, I never have app auto-update turned on.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Does the format match the other apps in system/app? Such as, are they in folders?

Also, maybe, rename it to YouTube.apk.

Never tried it a fire tab. Maybe try the non root version.

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Are you also running the detach script?

I don't know if that worked when I installed from Magisk. I tried to install the app first but it refuses to install.

I will try root way instead and completely remove YouTube first.
