From what I understand, the new method was out recently, whereas the Vanced Manager is still 1.2.0 that was before. New method requires changes to app. So, once those changes are applied and app is updated, we will be able to use it again. Once Manager is updated, it may automatically download latest YouTube apk, modify it and install it to device. Not sure how it show up in nonroot, since changing app name afaik requires changes in meta-inf files that may require decompiling the apk rather than replacing only base.apk (I am not sure about this part).

But yes, for now, you need to disable signature verification to install Vanced YouTube root.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

I'd read posts in thread if you don't believe my words when I say MIUI users had issues with SAI in this thread

:silly:

As far as I remember, you disable it, apps go wild, install Vanced successfully, then switch everything back to normal, and enable it back. Whole process takes 10-15 minutes. You can find numerous posts in thread by users who have successfully done it for SAI method. If you don't have extra 15 min to spare for this work, then there is nothing to talk about...

Once SAI method was out, all MIUI users said "sai is bad, we want magisk back". And once that step was overcome by Vanced Manager, you say "sai was better"... I am not sure of your intentions.

And I am not Vanced team member. Please provide your info to them with debuggable and reproducible information/steps. I am sure that simple text is not convincing and you need more to prove your stand as MIUI users who somehow both have and don't have issues with SAI simultaneously, depending on whether it is latest installation method or not

:o

And lastly, team has already provided the way to install Vanced using adb:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post83318971

If it is complicated with current, you can always use that one

That makes sense to me now, thanks for clarifying, very much appreciated

[MENTION=9667528]XiaoMi A1[/MENTION]

Even it seems as if you absolutely didn't get the point of my posting, I want to thank you for your answer anyway ?

First of all, I never complained about losing Magisk version and same goes for SAI version.

As I said before, I never had issues with it so I don't get your "I don't know your intension" writing ?.

Secondly, you tell that it's just a few minutes of work and there are no problems when reverting back to MIUI optimisation. Can't tell, didn't try it as I read of a lot of troubles doing so.

And if you say, you read of a lot of problems with SAI and Magisk, then you can read the last few days of trouble with Vanced Manager ?.

And lastly, I don't want to argue with you ?.

But I don't see why (at least for me) it gets more complicated to install/update vanced.

SAI worked fo me, vanced manager doesn't. So I now have to use some kjnd of adb method with replacing apks.

And its not as if vanced gets updated every few days so ist can't be that much of an effort to still provide a SAI version.

At least in my opinion...

Finally, we are all some kind of tied to what the team (highly appreciated ?) delivers us ?

[MENTION=9667528]XiaoMi A1[/MENTION] thanks for trying to help. Atleast i found out why install failed. While the older version had also hungarian language, new one does not. I found this out by resetting colour and language settings for install in manager. Leaving language english only made the update finally possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Sjhingan:
so after having read the thread im more confused. I have a rooted op3t with havoc os 3.8, magisk and TWRP. Tried to install the latest vanced version through the manager but failed due to signature verification even though the developer claims that it should install without disabling signature verification. so is it possible to do it without signature verification? Is there a way to install it using TWRP? If yes, what files do i need? Also if i want to use the unrooted version with my rooted phone with Micro G , is that possible? Thanks in advance to whoever can guide me.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Yay! That's good bro!
[Android Apps and Games] barth2:
First of all vanced is awesome, and the new manager app really takes the guesswork out of downloading and installing. THANKS!!!

There's just one thing I wish it does: when you switch video to full screen, it would switch to landscape even if your device is locked to portrait. Reason: most Android apps are designed to work in portrait and some people, aka me, prefer to lock their device to portrait so the screen doesn't flop around. Except when playing video.

Of course the ideal is the app detects whether video is portrait or landscape and switch accordingly *when going to full screen*.
[Android Apps and Games] th1nd:
Also, the Recent video strip has reappeared again and is working perfectly fine. Everything is perfect now. Love the new update! [emoji175][emoji175][emoji175]

Which microg works with kitkat?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Which microG version did you use for the KitKat version?
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
This is the quote from the dev with instructions on how to install new root version without disabling signature verification, however as you can see this new method won't be implemented into the manager app until the next release. So for now if you use the manager app disabling signature verification is still required.

Yes it is entirely possible to use non root version on a rooted phone, just use correct vanced micro g (not regular micro g)and follow install instructions.

Hey guys i got some trouble, cant comment on videos anymore by default is set restricted and cantnot be días le.
[Android Apps and Games] Eselter:
Working fine without step 2. (I'm using solid explorer to replace apk).

If someone looking newer version of vanced base.apk can obtain it from Vanced manager data located in "sdcard/Android/data/com.vanced.manager/files/apks/".
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
What device and setup?

Is it retained after a reboot?

If so, what are the owner, group, security and permission settings for all the files?

I ask because I have had to adjust using the manual root install on almost every device I installed it on to keep Vanced after a reboot.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Eselter:
Nope, youtube disappear after reboot :(

Only difference when I use this command "chcon -R u:object_r:system_file:s0 /data/app/com.google.android.youtube=string****=/base.apk" the folder with new base.apk is left over after reboot. Without using this command folder disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Sjhingan:
Thanks for your response. Can i install an old version (pre split APK) using TWRP on Android 10 or is that only for Android 9?

Where do i get Vanced Micro g from?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Download the vanced manager app.

Install microg from it

Then install vanced.

Hi, I have the issue now with the latest version, that the controls for a video aren't disappearing anymore (shown on the video screen, like play, pause etc.)

I tried uninstalling vanced and microg and reinstalling, it didn't help, the issue is only on my mobile not on the tablet for some reason. Both are Android 10, latest updates.

Can anyone tell me the solution for this? I'm sorry if this has been mentioned already, with 1653 pages this thread did become huge and I'm not able to search them all.

Plus a small bug that has been existing for long, it shows the chromecast device twice.
[Android Apps and Games] Calvin2394:
The new Vanced 15.33.34 Black version crashes for me on launch. Tried a full re-install of Microg and Vanced from Manager / ApkMirror. Nothing works.

Happy to help if you need me to test an APK.
[Android Apps and Games] Maru1:
Just found out that these controls can be closed with the x on the upper right.

They used to disappear upon tapping anywhere or automatically within few seconds, can I set it to be like before?
[Android Apps and Games] devjin:
Not sure about the chromecast bug, but for the controls for a video aren't disappearing, i think you have "Accessibility player' on.

So, open youtube vanced app on your device and then tap on your profile avatar/account, and then tap on Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Player On/Off slider should be grey.
[Android Apps and Games] Maru1:
[/COLOR]

That was it, thank you so much!

I wonder why this setting was even on, even when I completely made a new fresh installation.

There's another issue with Chromecast and volume control through the app, it sometimes doesn't work.

[Android Apps and Games] cultofluna:
On Android 11 vanched manager crashes..

Older vanched build ( before SAI ) working properly..

[Android Apps and Games] ephemunch:
There should be a update of this thread (first post) because there are still saying SAI is needed if someone want to install root-version of Vanced on a rooted device.

That is confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] Laggalot:
Did you ever find a fix for this? Im on Oneplus 7 pro. if that makes any difference
[Android Apps and Games] ephemunch:
Alright, does not work to install Vanced Manager because it freezes.

What a surprise...not.

I miss Magisk method. It worked at least. So again reinstall v14.21.54(b01.40.20)

Edit: Ok, it's done. There were a freeze while I wanted to install the Manager and a freeze while I wanted to install Vanced (root version) from Vanced Manager. However, it seems like it installed it properly.

No luck so far. For me, skip button is missing in portrait too.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Or you could just try and find out for yourself, that's what I did. At least that way I don't look lazy.
[Android Apps and Games] ephemunch:
That's nothing to do with laziness but with confusion. For me it would be a matter of course to adapt an outdated manual (first post) to the current status so that no confusion is created and thus fewer questions and problems arise.

You should put yourself in other people's shoes when they read the steps in the first post and then the contradicting steps in other more recent posts and website of vanced.

But something like that is already normal on xda.

Or if haven't updated already, then at least add a note in the first post saying that the steps are out of date. So that people don't try it and cause damage because of outdated How-to/Tutorials.

Edit: Another example. In Changelog of Release 15.33.34 there is this:

Meanwhile in steps there is this:

However, after updating LineageOS 16 apk signature verification was again automatically activate and deleted Youtube Vanced root-version.

Nevertheless I needed to disable apk signature verification and install YT Vanced root-version again .
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Sorry for the delay. :o

I have had issues in the past with stock roms when using the .replace option.

Replacing the files with a zero byte file (in this case) seemed to be the safer way to go.

Decided to go down the safer path this time. :p

Magisk Guide GitHub - Link

Note:

Now that Vanced is newer than the system installed version, it is not necessary to disable, bypass or remove system YouTube.

---

You might need to adjust it depending on the device and your setup.

Make sure to correct the base.apk file after you swap it with a renamed vanced version.

chown system:system base.apk

chmod 0644 base.apk

Then you may have to play around a with the security a little to find what setting works for your device and setup.

chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0

chcon u:object_r:apk_data_file:s0

Example of a few devices that Vanced works after reboot(s).

Example Pastbin - Link

The files you change to system_file will still remain even if it is broken. So you will have to manually delete them if needed..

To keep this post short(ish).

I have not found a setting to be used globally. As I mentioned in a previous post, I had some issues with the new root install.

If you are rooted with Magisk. (I assume you are..)

You can use a service.d script to mount the vanced apk file over the stock apk file.

To do this, you will need to rename the vanced apk file to base.apk and copy/move it to a directory that has heighten permissions.

I used Magisk's module directory and created a directory named iytvd. (InjectYouTubeVancedDark)

/data/adb/modules/iytvd/base.apk

Correct the vanced base.apk file.

chown system:system base.apk

chmod 0644 base.apk

chcon u:object_r:apk_data_file:s0 base.apk

Install stock YouTube using apk-Mirror's installer.

Delete old f'd up versions first if need be..

Find the path to stock YouTube in /data/app/

Then use the mount command to mount the vanced base.apk over the stock base.apk

mount /data/adb/modules/iytvd/base.apk /data/app/com.google.android.youtube-<String>/base.apk

Since you would have to run the mount command after a reboot, you can use a boot script to do that part.

I cleaned up and attached a work-in-progress script as an example.

To use it, replace the .txt file extention with .sh

Edit the file and change the paths to match your device.

Copy/move the edited file to /data/adb/service.d/

Change permissions. (if needed)

chmod 0755 NameOfFile.sh

The icon will not change but, vanced and all the settings will be active..

Hope it helps more than confuse. :D

Sorry all for the long post. :o

Cheers all. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Eselter:
When I simply replace base.apk, all permission seems ok but yt app disappear after reboot:

Hi. :)

The overlay script was original created as part of a magisk module.

If you have Vanced YouTube v15.33.34 installed as root, you can leave it, no added benefit to switch.

That being said, if you want a clean install using the module then, yes the steps you mentioned will work.

Signature verification does not matter. If you have a reason to leave if disabled you can if you want.

It is not necessary to disable signature verification using the module.

- Uninstall older/f'd up installs of YouTube

- Install the same version of stock YouTube (v15.33.34 as of this post).

-- Install APKMirror Installer PlayStore - Link

-- Download stock YT from APKMirror APKMirror - Link

- Install module

- Done

Note:

I wrote the overlay script to use it on devices that I had issues with the manual install method.

I do not disable signature verification so, when the new method was announced I gave it a go..

Plus I missed the ease of flashing a Magisk module. ;)

Cheers. :cowboy:
