Truth to be told I tried to use TeMeFi several times on my unrooted phone. But I failed to execute and get logs (FYI I dont mean to say that app didn't work; just I wasn't able to get logs without root). Thus I cannot ask something from a user that I myself could not make do.

Sorry for confusion. Maybe in TeMeFi thread it is explained in a better way for users. I will try to execute again maybe this time I can get lucky.

Not sure whether it is correct place, but this is what I get (attached) when I try logging unrooted (selecting logcat default (non root) option in logging) and actively using my device for 10 minutes. Maybe there are extra settings to tweak that I didn't see in OP of thread... But as I said, I cannot advise something that I myself couldn't do.

Edit: Restarted app and checked logs, this time it again didn't provide logs from anything other than itself (attached 2)
[Android Apps and Games] rjm831:
Had same problem with TeMeFi and MiX - also using unrooted phone & tablet.

Hi!

Ever since this morning I've been getting a "you're offline.." prompt, works fine on original app tho. Anyone else? or am i missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] ggkameleon:
Hi ! No mistake on miui 12 20.6.4 all work fine thank you. Only some time on Xiaomi eu rom beta in discover Google had message youtube crash !? But no crash really. I think on discover vanced not reconize but link works
[Android Apps and Games] bmwbasti:
Exactly the same for me....

Edit: After updating microg to the newest version and installing vanced again it works again.
[Android Apps and Games] MigoMujahid:
I re-downloaded both apps and installed them and it's good now too.

It's kinda weird because i still had the latest of both of them before.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Yep, your right!

Any app running on the phone as NON-ROOT can only retrieve the logcat for itself. ADB from another device can see the logcat from all apps:o I tried both my app and a terminal emulator.

I never noticed it before as I have always been rooted, and when the non-rooted logcat returned results, I assumed it was a full logcat.:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Ashiq.makkar:
I thought vanced was supposed to be adfree and it mostly is but I'm seeing a few ads in YouTube home screen. Is this normal? I'm using the rootless version.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] peslap:
Does YouTube Vanced offers the possibility to remove the showing of related videos and the comments?

IF not YouTube Vanced, do I have any possibly to remove those 2 things on Android? I just want to see the videos I've searched and no comments.

On the computer is easy to install an extension, but on android, apparently, is not that easy...
[Android Apps and Games] SitaraAci:
Yeah, that's normal.

It's mainly about the advertising IN the videos. And they're completely gone.
[Android Apps and Games] twicefalles:
Why is Vanced always using mp4 audio, even when I force VP9 (video is webm). Official Android Youtube App has webm audio.
[Android Apps and Games] yuppicide:
YouTube keeps showing stupid "mixes" in my homepage feed. I wish there was a way to disable then. It's like "you watched a video of iron maiden, we're going to give you a mix of one iron maiden song and then throw in 20 other bands you don't want to hear".
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Micro g is showing app icon in app drawer? Never happened before. I did a factory reset and installed everything back. I'm using non root version, everything stock OP5 stable android 10 build.
[Android Apps and Games] MigoMujahid:
Mine also shows it in the launcher and had it in there since the beginning. It's not a big deal tho, just ignore it :/
[Android Apps and Games] Nivramyaj:
im using nanodroid rooted and have microG installed in my device can install the rooted version to my system?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Only one way to find out! ;) IIRC (haven't followed the latest changes tbh) microG isn't needed for the root version though. But as you're using NanoDroid, there's probably no G-account implemented the "normal" way so your microG will likely bridge your G-account into Vanced YouTube (if you wish, you can omit adding an account entirely). Anyway, it has been done successfully before (search for 'NanoDroid' here) so it should work but it's been a long time since it has been discussed. Let us know if it works or not! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] RaW D Coy:
tried smali patcher and exposed core patcher but still getting the damn certificate error in split apk...

is it worth going with root version of this app or will it work just as good with the non-root version apart from the purchasing of items in the non-root will crash it..
[Android Apps and Games] EMJI79:
Just to say that I would love to see one a YouTube Music Vanced mostly for background playing. I don't know if devs work would be different from what they do with YouTube video app but it really would be great. :svetius:

I don't find YouTube music mod in Magisk...

Edit: I found that,

(MOD EDIT: Link removed)

It works but it could be dangerous.

Would prefer to see that on XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
I'd remove that link if I was you...
[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
Meh, I'd say just do the non-root version. Apart from Micro-G, it acts exactly the same. Plus, you don't have to worry about accidentally updating it in the PlayStore since there is no need to detach it or anything of that nature.
[Android Apps and Games] borijess:
Is there a way to prevent the pop-up from YouTube to update your app?
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Besides detaching from play store, I don't think so.

[Android Apps and Games] levider:
Latest microG (non root vanced) is draining my battery

I disabled ContactSyncService

Also microG is hibernated by greenify

But wakelock is still an issue

Is there any fix?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
If you read the thread, you will see it is more than just that.

Even just thinking for a moment, why would they waste their time creating a root version, if the non-root version has exactly the same functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
My bad. All I ever see about the root version are issues detaching it. I'm not 100% functionality wise what the difference is.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
There are multiple differences, of which I don't know all of them, as I only have ever used the root version; but I do know there are more than one. Its ironic that you quoted me, and mentioned the detachment issue, as I have created a detach method that has been very effective, within the app TeMeFI
[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
Yeah I know that, reason I mentioned it. I follow the TeMeFi thread too.

I just don't really see the point of a root version if it requires extra steps to disable signatures, detach from marketplace and if the changes are even worth it.

Unless there is some huge difference in functionality (which it's Youtube... What more do you really need it for other than watching videos?) root version doesn't seem worth the extra hassle.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
You answered your own question by your previous post.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Because some people might want the extra functionality, no matter how minor they may appear to be. More choices to suit ones needs & wants are always good, imo.
[Android Apps and Games] XiaoMi A1:
Posts 15226&15227 have provided some info about that.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Cheers:o
[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
Sheesh, all this stemmed from attempting to give someone an answer to their question.

I get it, root acts like the native app, opening hard coded links and what not.

Guess I never had that issue since Slide and Lightning open the app and not a browser version.

Thank you that worked.

i'd just installed the nonroot version succesfully but i dont log in my g-account because im using nanodroid. By the way thanks for the answer and info it helps a lot.:)
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Cool beans and sorry for not having any experience with NanoDroid but I did read "NanoDroid allows you to choose between the official microG GmsCore and a custom microG GmsCore" so I'm guessing the adapted Vanced microG should be able to run along with it. You do have to install that first before installing Vanced YouTube. Though it isn't entirely clear if you want your account connected. You don't have to :)
[Android Apps and Games] doctorman:
appologize in advance if this has been answered , looking for an answer for 45 min and could not...

have to z2 force 8.000 android rooted with magisk, had the old version of vanced installed via magysk and made a stupid mistake of trying to update...

used rooted version via root-SIA and got error

removed the vanced from magisk and reboot and tried again same issue

installed it by having SIA sign the apk and , Vance crashed after install...

I prefer the rooted version not to install micro G ...

Would appreciate some help with this,

I setup my wife's phone from scratch and was able to install it rooted via SAI with no problem, but on my phone I think since I had the old magysk version something is stopping it

Do I need to remove official you tube from the phone? it is the old version of you tube never updated.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
You missed the very first step in the guide on the Vanced website "disable APK verification" that's why it's not installing. You must do this through guides you can find here on the thread with an xposed module

Do not let sia sign the APK either
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
Hi, there is any chance to install Vanced without the SAI application? I have issues on my MIUI device with the SAI application sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] XiaoMi A1:
Hello.

There is a post by Bortex19 that shows how can you replace SAI with ADB. But be sure to follow steps correctly. Be thorough. And you could succeed.

Cheers:o
[Android Apps and Games] SolCutter:
can't get either packages to install permissions used by another installer?
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
I see, thanks!

But i'm on non root version.
[Android Apps and Games] XiaoMi A1:
Hello

It is same for root and nonroot. SAI step is exactly same. And adb is not related with your phone being rooted or not. As that post suggested, read about adb to see how to use it. You don't need root, you only need an extra device (PC/laptop) to connect your device to. That post only mentioned the elimination of SAI step (which is, as I said, common for both rooted and unrooted Vanced installation steps), so it is the only way to overcome the SAI step.

Also, you can try v14 nonroot version (previous version) which is still available both from download links in first page and from official vanced webpage vanced.app (click on "Looking for the older versions? click here!" link)

I read in previous pages that advertisements on latest version (be it rooted or not) are more aggressive than v14. So, some users advise v14 as it both has less ads and doesn't require SAI or adb step for installation.

Choose your favorite and install. Those are all your options.

Good luck

This app is dead. I have not seen an update in well over a year or more. And you may say, "well it's cus there no need yet". Well guess what? I have seen more and more ads on the vanced version of YouTube. Unless the dev is no longer updating the apk file of non root devices.

some feature requests

Hello,

I've just switched from iYTBP version 12 to YouTube Vanced v15.05.54-nonroot without micro-g and i have a few questions:

1) I've disabled "home ads" in settings, but i still see search result ads. Is it normal? Can them be hidden?

2) Mini player (not background play) is disabled for kids related videos, can this be bypassed?

3) Is it possible to bypass age verification without login (i haven't installed micro-g)?

4) At the end of a video, is it possible to not open then "slide up" suggested videos? I've disabled all options but this still appears.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] HawaiiFiveO:
I've been experiencing an issue since the last update that when i'm inside my subscription list of channels and going in and out of them the list always needs to refresh and thus it "forgets" my position so everytime starting from the top and scrolling from the top to the bottom many times is hard.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Fitzie:
I'm using 14.21.54 (old series) and I encountered an issue when upgrading from linegeos 14.1 to 17.1. When I swip to lower brightness it works fine, except for when i bring it to 0 it goes to full brightness. Anyone know why this is happening and if a fix would be possible?

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No idea how you can use vanced v15 without microG, but anyways:

1. Normal. Home ads are not same as in video ads, that Vanced successfully blocks

2. Not for now. It is blocked by Google.

3. Not by using Youtube app. But it is possible if you use other tube apps (but you cannot log in or use your user priveleges in those apps), that cannot be mentioned in this thread.

4. No. Those are not disturbing the watching and it is useful for checking what to see next if you are wondering, and easy to dismiss if you are not interested.

It is the same for Google's YouTube as well. So you might need to repost this to Google.

Probably something related to the screen configuration. Do you by any chance own a samsung device? In any case, please use post#5 in first page to report, so that we don't need to guess what you have. It definitely doesn't happen on our devices. Neither android 9 nor android10.

No it won't. This app is not part of XDA Labs app list. So you won't ever see a notification to update THIS app in XDA. All you need to do is to follow thread. That is ALL you need to do. Just open and read thread before blaming modders for not updating.
[Android Apps and Games] jackmauro:
I simply don't need/want to login, so it works fine.

The only glitch is a crash if i click setting > vanced settings > MigroG settings, but it's not a big issue...

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Well, that is plain normal if you dont have microG. As instructions tell you, for proper functioning of app, you need to install (not login, but have the app installed) before Vanced. Having microG installed to your device doesn't mean you have to log in. But anyways, it is your device, your choice)))
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Lol this is an interesting way to block YouTube ads

https://www.androidauthority.com/block-youtube-ads-trick-1128296/
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Might want to check that...
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
What?:eek:

Ohh you need to install from labs to get updates... Because I never got it. Yes, same is on my other device that runs v14 nonroot. It doesn't get updates through labs because it is not installed through it. Only MiXplorer that is installed through Labs app gets immediate update as soon as there is. No other app that is already available in labs but not installed through it.

Anyways. Not getting update after update was since FEB 11, means either labs update issue or user not even checked labs before writing such an accusing post:.

But also didn't even check the first page of thread where he posted. So that is a double shame...

And funny thing is, the ads are even more on newer

:laugh:

Well, that is good for desktop and mobile webpage; but you will need some automation like tasker/python scripts or you will have to edit link everytime before opening page.

And this blocks ads in video as far as I understand (i.e. only "watch video" links), which Vanced successfully accomplishes by now. The issue that users are more nagging about are homescreen and search page ads. Lets hope there can be a breakthrough in that as well. Because those ads are less disturbing than seeing users post about it without reading back in thread or even searching the keywords.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
I had homescreen and search ads the first few days on v15 of vanced nonroot. I did absolutely nothing and they disappeared on their own afterwards. Haven't seen an ad since then. It's probably been a few months since I switched from v14 to v15. I did read that it's region dependent in the thread, but I haven't changed my region in the app or my physical location, so :shrug:

I got the history issue sorted out by whitelisting a few domains in adaway, so I've been pretty satisfied with the app.

Right now, I find myself using newpipe more than youtube though (when I need the quality, because the newpipe UI is a little worse than youtube imo), to get around the max resolution limitation set by youtube in my region because of the coronavirus. It's also completely ad free and open source, so bonus yay.
[Android Apps and Games] YamiYukiSenpai:
Any plans on making YouTube Vanced a Magisk module like before?

I read that the Smali module is still in Alpha for Android 10, and I don't wanna risk it.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
no plans for a magisk version.

due to changes in how YouTube is distributed and installed some components need to be installed through a package installer, so it's easier to do it all through that same package installer.

there's no benefit to using magisk right now.
[Android Apps and Games] YamiYukiSenpai:
For some reason, Vanced installed as root can't detect my Google account. Signing in doesn't work because it said that the account exists.

Dunno if this helps, but I'm using OpenGapps pico, so I never had YouTube bundled. In addition, I was using Vanced Magisk module, which I disabled, before installing it.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You have more options than smali patcher, like EdXposed module corepatch (the whole procedure is linked in telegram group of Vanced and also copied by several users here; you can search and find them with using correct keywords in search bar) or other apps (that are not allowed to be mentioned in XDA forums; and no, please don't ask about it). Your other options are continue using v14 magisk module and switching to nonroot if you find the methods mentioned above as risky.

No. There is no way of converting this version to magisk because of {mentioned several hundred times by users and also the modder team themselves in this thread} reason. Several of them are below:

You need to mention your steps. For ex, you should NOT choose "sign apk" option in SAI app. That is one of the main reasons why users fail (and don't search about it also).

Next time, if tou have a report, please use this checklist for posting it:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post82666907

I use that only for download purposes. It is worse than YouTube because:

- not easy to get from lockscreen (with bg playback) to video. Especially if you are using playlist. You need to click notification, then it will open playslist. Then you need to click 3dot and click on main screen. This is painful.

Sometimes I want to watch comedy shows that I don't want to be involved to my account (and incognito mode on YouTube is resetting itself back after some time, so you need to get incognito again and find the video). In those "incognito" instances I tried using that app but the framework for usage is fail for me. Getting from background playback to pop up or main screen shouldn't be that complicated.

- no chance for sign in - as it has nothing to do with Google - no personal recommendation/channels you follow etc. And thus it can not replace my main reason of chosing YouTube over other video streaming services.

I use it when I want to download a video - I click share link in Vanced YouTube - copy direct link - paste direct link to search bar on that app - select the download quality and download.

It just replaced GetTube app for me for now (until Google messes it up even more and there are new apps that can download videos from YouTube)
