Can I request for the latest youtube vanced version to be uploaded on the official mediafire mirror link? Thanks.

i often have a stubborn homebutton when youtube vanced is in picture in picture mode. first i thought it was a novalauncher problem but the problem persists with niagara launcher? does anyone have the same problem? is this a youtube vanced, or just a youtube or even android problem?

this guy has the same problem and made a video about it:

I have an issue with MicroG's on Huawei Mate 30 pro, account registration doesn't work.

I tried both options google device registration on and off, reinstalling, rebooting...

It works flawlessly on my Mate 20 Pro.

Do I miss something about de-googled phones?
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
I get it now it was an app called touch controls for Youtube. Well vanced has touch controls for brightness and volume.

Can you make YouTube Vanced Compatible for Amazon Fire TV Stick 2
[Android Apps and Games] fastleo63:
Today I installed Family Link on my daughter's phone (YTV non-root) . Now I cannot connect her Google account, even after uninstalling/reinstalling. After accepting Google terms and conditions, appears a message "to access a Family Link Google Account a more recent software is required". Seems that MicroG is outdated...
[Android Apps and Games] Jojokoo:
I'm confused. You mean I should contact the vanced team since the app working in youtube without a hitch should work in vanced with just a simple tweak by the team.

Wow.. you know Vanced. YOu should be working for Vanced! Thanks man.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
They just forced the change server side without providing a way to remove the huge plus icon? That's ridiculous.. is there really no way to get rid of it?
[Android Apps and Games] MajicDroidPirate:
Its never going to happen, you can sideload it but you need eaither a virtual or bluetooth mouse to navigate. BUT i can suggest you a very good alternative. Its called smartyoutube TV you can get it here

https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/

Its ? fire tv compatible and adfree just like vanced.

Something wrong with the Vanced manager, keeps crashing on my android 11 before even opening the app? Or do I need to have a rooted device for manager.

You do realize it contributes to thread clutter, increasing search results and contributes nothing to the user or thread.

Years ago, a search would return a few posts, maybe a repeat but, you could generally find an answer or how to figure it out.

Now you have to wade though extra posts that give nothing because someone did not search, or they did search and could not find the answer.

Just because some user(s) felt like they needed to respond with a useless post.

I'm on Android 11, and as others already reported, the manager is crashing.

I just tried the magisk injection method, and it works!

Background play is working still.
[Android Apps and Games] djjohnnyblaze:
Is this for vanced 14.x or 15.x? I know 14.x can be installed with magisk module but didn't know there was a magisk method for 15.x

Mind sharing the information for this? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] TENN3R:
The very latest, 15.33.34.

A test module was published a while back, just tried and works perfectly. Link here.

[Android Apps and Games] 73sydney:
Theres also this post for anyone wanting to try the magisk module way with links to both dark and black modules versions, plus some better options for the youtube bundle, including a decrypted one i uploaded to my dropbox thats easily installed by SAI so you dont have to watch ads like you do with APKMirrors shi77y APKM installer

Ive got an issue where i am unable to sign into google account on a mate 30 pro, was working fine until yesterday morning but for some reason now it says ''cannot connect to google servers'' has anyone had this issue on a mate 30 pro or another device for that matter?
[Android Apps and Games] GallusAnonimus:
I think it's not MicroG problem but rather Family Link. Anyway try this:

1) open Vanced Manager and go into MicroG settings,

2) turn on Google Device Registration,

3) try to add Your daughters account - it should work now.

Unfortunately I've run into another problem in YT Vanced app - while trying to add account to log on it says "Try again - check Your network settings". Maybe You'll have more luck than me [emoji1696]
[Android Apps and Games] andrei80:
YouTube Vanced says I'm offline. Of course, I'm not... Worked fine until today. Official YouTube has updated, maybe they did something...
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
I had the same issue a few times (with both vanced and regular YouTube at the same time). Its happened before but got resolved after waiting for a few minutes. This time it happened only on vanced (regular YouTube worked fine) and didn't get resolved automatically (it happened right after youtube introduced the ugly PLUS icon right in the center of the bottom bar). I had to reinstall vanced and microg and I don't get that message anymore. Maybe it has something to do with the rollout of the plus icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Techpyoor:
A problem when using the application on a phone that works in Arabic

Vanced app does not work well for languages ​​starting from right to left writing like Arabic. Aramaic language. The Azerbaijani language. Dhivehi language. Fulani language Hebrew Kurdish language . Nu language. Persian . The Rohingya Language. Syriac. Urdu.

We cannot control the quality of the video, speed and translation because the share icon covers them, and this problem does not appear in the official YouTube application on the store. This is a screenshot that shows the problem and it has been in existence since the application was created

[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Sorry if I'm missing something and asking a totally stupid question, I just stumbled this and trying to understand the procedure:

- If "mounting Vanced app on top of original YouTube", why is then needed step (1) - why couldn't just simply install (original) YT directly from Google Play instead of from ApkMirror?

Isn't the same thing if installing a (bundled) app from Playstore

or downloading and installing it from ApkMirror (even downloading the bundle there and installling it by use of their bundle installer)

All that assuming that I have stock GApps but no stock YT (hence Google Play would install YT to /data and there won't be any stock YT on /system)

Once again sorry if that was already argumented (must have been, otherwise you would simplify your method) but I can't find it since your brilliant method is kind of 'unofficially injected' to this Vanced thread (since they sadly discontinued the Magisk module and your method and all about is not easily visible like from the OP posts)
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
step 1 is needed to get a specific(older) version of YouTube as a base for vanced.

if you install it from the play store you get the latest version, which won't work with the magisk module.

the module would have to be re-made from a vanced apks that is based on the latest version of YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Ok, thanks, understood.

Successfully installed iYTVd to Xiaomi Mi 9T, MIUI 12, eea stable, Android 10, Magisk Canary

To use ApkMirror bundle installer I also had to disable MIUI optimizations in Developer menu, but later I turned it back on (disabling it kind of screw up my Home screen, apps permissions, but ok)
[Android Apps and Games] andrei80:
Cleared data of YouTube Vanced, I'm back online, but can't sign in. The sign in dialogue says it's offline, might be a micro G problem.

Reinstalling from manager presented the same result. Can't sign in

[MENTION=10051393]Ayan Chakraborty[/MENTION] It has to be installed as a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] Ayan Chakraborty:
Yes

Yes original YouTube must be installed as a system private app which is normally there in stock OSs. YouTube vanced must be installed as an update to the system private app.

If this is not done, stories and certain other features didn't work for me and the app crashed immediately. Certain keys and hashes r not accessible if original YouTube is not installed by default as system private app

This is for the root version ofcourse

And auto hdr brightness is not working for me
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
I'm not using the root version so I can't comment on it. Nonroot works fine for as me a user app.

I've never had battery drain issues with Youtube Vanced until I've installed it on my Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra. All background data is turned off and I have it so that it kills the app as soon as I close it, yet it's still draining more battery than all the other apps. How is this possible if the app is not even running?

Or is it Microg causing the drain?

You cannot 'detach'.

Simply uncheck automatic updates for YT, it will be listed for update but Playstore will not update automatically
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Yes you can there are various methods, neither of my devices are rooted and stock YouTube is detached and uninstalled months ago and despite rom updated never seen it since, I used adb command via adb shell to do it

Magisk repo have many issues as i seen from many users installed vanced youtube in the latest version

i am one of them i can't see any updates in play store even tried all methods to bring back youtube to show updates in play store but not fixed. :(

please vanced youtube team any help?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
No issues whatsoever for most of us. We just don't post about it. Thousands of people having no issues. Small number of people having issues. You must have cleared data in play store at some point. Use a root file browser and in /data, delete the detach. Or in the magisk Vanced zip (in internal storage, magisk manager folder) in the Vanced zip, extract the detach_disabled file and put that in data.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
so coincidentally every time I start watching I pick a video that triggers a black background and colored text, and every video after that triggers a white background with black text?

I watch 3 videos, video 1 is orange on black and the other 2 are black on white.

later I watch 10 videos, video 1 is pink on black, video 2 through 9 are black on white.

see the pattern?

that's not a feature, that's a bug.

I will spoon-feed you

Here you go, open your mouth!

https://www.androidcentral.com/android-oreo-colored-notifications
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you even bother reading anything I typed?

the coloring might be a feature, but it's one that doesn't even work right in this modded YouTube app.

it's triggered for 1 video, and then stops working.

that inconsistency makes it even more annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
One of the developers gave you her response and it's something they cant control. You have two choices:

1- Build your own app

2- Uninstall the app and go back to the regular you tube app

The developers do this on their own time and they provide it for free. I say live with the ugly notifications.

To the developers, thank you for the great app and continued development. I have no issues with the app on pixel 2 xl 8.1.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
I have already moved on from the idea that the ridiculous notification colours are a bug, it's just a badly thought out feature Google came up with.

but there's still a real bug which is now being dismissed because my further replies aren't being read.

not only is it a real bug, it's a bug that could potentially be (ab)used to create a feature for this mod that would allow for disabling of the colored notifications.

my somewhat rude replies weren't intended as disrespect towards [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] [MENTION=5168296]KevinX8[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] as developers, they where the result of my frustration from too many people(here, and in many other places) not reading what I type, and giving a completely useless and often unrelated answer to my questions or requests.

KevinX8's reply answered my original question accurately and completely, I'm hoping he or someone else is still willing to discuss the related bug with me.
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
Only thing I can say is that its your phone creating the inconsistencies, or some of the videos have white as their main colour. This oreo feature works fine for me, youtube doesn't control what oreo does anyways, your phone decides what colours it's going to be.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
YouTube kinda does, indirectly.

android uses the video thumbnail in the notification that YouTube provides to generate the colors from what I can tell.

I immediately dismissed the possibility of most of the videos I watched triggering a white background as they where all from the same product reviewer, who consistently uses a black backdrop for all his reviews(which is why the notifications that did get colored received a black background)

the bug I'm encountering is that apparently YouTube fails to "send" a thumbnail for videos after the 1st video in a Chromecast playlist.

android sees no thumbnail, and reverts to the default coloring of black text on a white background

so first to address the bug here, somehow YouTube Vanced fails to update the thumbnail in the notification when "moving" to the next video.

what could be the cause of this, where does "starting a video on Chromecast" differ from "going from 1 video to the next on Chromecast" on the phone's side?

I'm on version 13.12.60 - Build - 01.18.30, and my phone is a Samsung galaxy note 8 N950F(PHN) running android 8.0.0.

I am using a system wide ad blocker(no root, masks itself as a VPN to intercept traffic), but I don't see how that should affect anything as the thumbnail for the 1st video does load.

and next as a way this could potentially be turned into a feature, would it be possible to intentionally block thumbnails from being loaded into the notification?

perhaps it could then be added as an optional ... option for people like me who would prefer a "clean" notification.
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
I use this app from a long time now, love it :D

Don't know if there is yet. Could anyone post a screen of the dark theme? I'm using the black one. What are the differences?

And also, what's the watch panel I can apply the black theme on? I can see no difference with it enabled or disabled. Sorry if this is a well known question.

Thanks :)

[Android Apps and Games] SpaceCadetWilliam:
hey guys I've got a bit of a problem. I use my VPN's (private internet access) MACE feature to block ads on my device. I read that I need to whitelist this app in order for my history to be saved, but I don't think I can do that using PIA.

is there any work around to get history working? or a better way to block ads? I'm in a galaxy s8.

thanks guys.

edit:

ok so I bailed on PIA's MACE and I installed adhell3. I whitelisted *s.youtube.com and I still can't get history working.

after reading through this thread it looks like it's because my account is a brand account, and it seems like there is just simply no solution to this?
[Android Apps and Games] Ashraf Iraqian:
tried your method too but no chance!

i am even uninstalled the repo and did it manually but the same , then wiped dalvik/cache not fixed again .. i don't know why my play store not showing my installed apps also! :(
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Then clear data for play store. Then delete updates for it (disable it). Then re enable it. Then open playstore, log back in if necessary. Then allow it to update itself. Reboot if you have to.

This module alone should not stop your apps from showing in playstore. It never has for me. That usually only happens if you clear data for playstore without the steps I described.
