ever since the new micro g came out a while back, I have the same chromecast listed twice when selected cast in any app. one option will work ok, the other not. it's random, whether the 'useable' one is listed first or second. anyone know of a workaround to get rid of the superfluous entry??

Hi, Will you creste a Amoled theme? I know that there is dark mode theme (that i like) but it isnt a true black.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
There is a true black theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
As it says in logs you are using a wrong procedure. Probably you use both microg.apk and vanced.apks together. But that is not what says in installation instructions. Use ONLY vanced.apks file for sai. Microg is apk file, not apks file.

But if this doesn't help, then provide your whole installation procedure including your setup of you want any help.

As mentioned, it was fixed on February 30th:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post81732243

Go back to that date and find the fixed file.

Get back to vanced.app site to see which option you should choose to get black instead of dark vanced.

Hi the developers of this project. I have a few problem with installing this application. I am not able to install root version of this app on my Lenovo vibe b a2016a40, android 7.1.2 crDroid custom rom. I was using magisk module but you said new versions will not be available for magisk. I tried to install root verion with SAI but it gives me an error message every time. I tried to install non-root verion but It crashed every time, I does not even let me open youtube vanced. I would be very happy if you would bring the magisk module for youtube vanced. Please bring magisk module for the new verions of vanced as well.
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
The magisk module isn't coming back full stop..
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
If you follow correct installation steps there would be no such issue. Please write down which steps you performed (from files you downloaded till the crash) so that we can tell you what you are doing wrong
[Android Apps and Games] Alezhka:
Thanks, for answers. I will try to remember what i did.

on stock firmware it works good.

1. i try to flash it via TWRP. downloaded zip file from youtubevanced.com/root and older version 14.21.54. i reloaded my phone in recovery mode and installed zip file. everything goes fine. rebooted my phone and its loaded as always. after this install i saw that i cant enable wifi. so i deleted vanced app, rebooted phone and everything is ok, i can turn on wifi.

second option what i try it was install vanced via magisk manager. Magisk/downloads/youtube Vanced black themed - Magisk Repo. Downloaded and installed, rebooted phone. and i get same situation as in my first try, i cant enable wifi. when i delete it everything goes well.

so this is my experience in this case :( i think i will try version for non rooted device.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I am still on the previous version (ie i am NOT running the split APK via SAI install) for now, but I am following all the info / experiences /method of success people have had with their upgrade, in prep for when I do decide to switch.;).

The one area that's been pretty noticeable quiet, is in regard to peoples root installs being updated by the playstore version. Has anything changed in this issue? or is something else going on?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Playstore update notification is still there on rooted version. And still updates if auto update is enabled.

Using your TeMeFi app it can be easily detached.

Over the coarse of a week I seen the update notification only once which was quickly gone after a couple of minutes.

Having more success than I ever had with your app compared to other detach methods so I thank you a hell of a lot :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] jmoportugal:
[MENTION=5211723]AndroidHtc101[/MENTION] [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
:good:

Are you using "level/method 3"? I have been running level 3 for a few weeks plus my prior testing time, on three devices, and I have NEVER seen it in the list of apps for update, even for a second. I though maybe once I saw it as a notification on my lock screen, but when I went into the playstore it wasnt there, so I assumed I just read it wrong.

The first two methods proved to be too "polite" and I had cases where youtube got blown away, similar to the standard detach method, even though its more rigorous. I think when I open it up for all playstore apps, the other two methods may be fine for other non google apps.

Also, just for clarity sake, once you apply the method, you can uninstall TeMeFI, as it does not run in the background at all. The only reason you may need to reinstall and reapply the fix, is if Google perform a major deep update to the playstore. However, there is a lot of other handy things in TeMeFI;) hopefully enough to keep it.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Method 2 is what I used and it seems to be working fine for over a week now.

Maybe I will try method 3 and keep you posted if i see any updates popping up.

As for deleting the app, I use it for more than just detaching YouTube it is super handy so I'll be keeping it.

Thanks a lot for it! :svetius:

I think [MENTION=8983809]Team Vanced[/MENTION] should add your app to the op as how often is that question asked here "does anyone else get an update notification in playstore? Please fix?" :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I didn't read after that ^^

You definitely didn't read OP or the OFFICIAL website, which is vanced.app and not the one that you wrote above. Try non root one as written in original website.

The problem with rooted one maybe issue of the custom ROM that you use. So you need to report that to the dev/porter of the ROM
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
OK, method 2 is a few steps up from the normal detach, but when I was testing, I had YouTube get updated, eventually:mad:. Method 3 has never failed for me. I kept the lighter methods in, because i think other non-google apps will not be so aggressively monitored; and I had already spent the time coding it:mad: Method 3 is really meant for YouTube, the others will eventually fail you, but three is pretty aggressive, so if 2 works for you, maybe it is the best choice for you:confused:.

And to be honest, I am a little surprised that with all the previous complaining about youtube being updated, I hadn't received any feedback on how the techniques have been working for others; its been so quiet. Which is why I started to think that maybe it was not such an issue with the new multi APK version. Its good to know it also works on the new version, as I am still on the previous version.

EDIT: if you wish to update your apps right now, and youtube IS in the list, I use to kill the Playstore (custom ROM with long-press back to kill), but I would guess if you remove it from recents and re-start the playstore, when you come back in, Youtube will be gone, and you can thereby do a safe bulk update of apps without waiting.

MiXplorer crashes when I try to install the YV.apks :crying:

Thanks for the help anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] XtraWater:
I installed the root version on my Xiaomi Mi A1 with resurrection remix 6.2 final. I used the Sai methode. Youtube Vanced crashes after a few seconds randomly. Can someone please have a look at my log?

https://del.dog/othowetanu

apk signature is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Non-root?

MiXplorer installed both MicroG and Vanced without issue for me.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
firstly enable signature verification and secondly remove edxsposed you're getting a lot of errors like this one:

"[02-28 17:51:40.202 24970:24970 W/android.youtube]

you have edxposed configured wrong

edit:

why is there an irremovable smiley in the text?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
XDA symbols is the problem. If it sees a colon ':' next to a bracket ')' it automatically puts a smiley face

Happens all the time when people post logs
[Android Apps and Games] XtraWater:
Actually I have Xposed Framework Version 90-beta3 installed. What would you suggest to do?
[Android Apps and Games] fede01_8:
Yeah, non-root Android Marshmallow tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] Vybze:
Anyone else seeing ads in youtube vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
either remove xposed or find a way to hide it from google
[Android Apps and Games] XtraWater:
Is that even possible to hide it? I thought that's why people are using edXposed which I tried, but Xposed Edge is buggy with edXposed.
[Android Apps and Games] MarkusOSx:
Waiting for magisk module version of 15.05.54 :)
[Android Apps and Games] XtraWater:
Do you think a magisk variant will come? That would be fantastic.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
i dont know i use edxposed and xposed edge works perfectly fine

theres actually a magisk module floating around but it flashes the non rooted version so not recommended
[Android Apps and Games] dingsaller:
See OP

"Magisk:

As we are disabling signature verfication, root version are installed to /data/app and /system/app. So magisk module is useless now and makes nonsense to us.

Therefore, Magisk version is DISCONTINUED."
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
There are magisk modules with root version too, and mods with regular apk instead of completely useless split apks.

But they still require signature patches. Anyway, v14 is better install-wise and ui-wise.
[Android Apps and Games] MrKaon:
Installed none root method on few Mi A1 and A2 for my friends all working great.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
No..
[Android Apps and Games] EMJI79:
No way to sign in to non root without clearing chrome data?

Edit: it just worked

Is there a way to theme YouTube Vanced unroot app with Substratum?
[Android Apps and Games] freakerload:
The new Version is not running perfect with the TV control. I have installed the 14.21.54 version, there are no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Awesome to see Vanced v14 loved again. Long life to split apks!
[Android Apps and Games] Matttis:
The previous version I was able to modify to give it the packe name of the Youtube Kids app to trick my Note 10 Plus to enable the video optimization for Vanced.

But for this version I don't know how to do it because I have never used APKS files before.

Does anyone know how to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] Matttis:
With APK Editor Pro I changed the package name inside the APK to "com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids". That way the app worked like normal but the phone thinks it's the YouTube Kids app and enables the video optimization for it, which usually doesn't work with Vanced.

With the APKS file this didn't work out though...
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
Split apks can be combined to a single one. What's the point in forcing to download ALL split parts and then use some 3rd party app to install them? Makes no sense.

I said the same thing. And the better way would be root version working without patches just like v14.
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
We aren't going to combine apks into apk its been explained already pytting all localizations in makes the appk of 70-80mb for 1 arch and nobody wants that.

What doesn't make sense google makes playstore managing split apks with package installer doesnt support.

Using any mod or combined vanced we aren't going to give user support for it.

The installation process are simple aa previous ones just the signature verification is the main thing
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I notice you are not part of the Vanced team. If its so convenient, and you know something that the vanced team does not, please action it and start a new thread where we all can benefit from it.
[Android Apps and Games] cacingbesar:
Thanks a lot for the new updates. It works great on my COL-L29. No problem at all.

And I am not gonna complain about the installation process or the split APKs like the other dudes. I followed the instructions, and it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
We're we always able to download videos with vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You are welcome to read 2nd post of thread which includes FAQ
[Android Apps and Games] Alezhka:
Hey. i installed for non root version and its work fine :) thanks for idea
[Android Apps and Games] XtraWater:
Where to find them?
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
I am talking about shipping vanced as ".apk" and not ".apks" which will never happens and we already took the decisions

And i mentioned for 1 arch if you didn't notice, convincing us to make AIO ( Alll In One) arch apk won't happen.

About the second part we dont give user support to apks not compiled by us and carry someone else signature.

* Tons of tests beeen done to get best results

* the testers gathered all localizations and we packed it

* getting split apks to compile with apktool was another miracle due mess up caused by it which needed hexediting

* the team isnt a group of idiots as what you are trying to make us look like, each update previously we released over 60 compiled apks for all different user base but time came for changes if you are satisfied or not its up to you

* our signature verification signature patcher will go under development soon but users make feel regret with such attitudes
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
My thanks to the Team!
[Android Apps and Games] Az Biker:
* * * Thread Cleaned * * *

Please allow me to settle a few issues that are running around this thread (as well as others ofc).

1) Since this thread is in the Android Development & Hacking section, anything NOT directly related to developing, troubleshooting, or bug reporting is off-topic. Your favorite Rom, telling the devs to stop being lazy, what other devs add to their mods, what you think about another dev's work compared to this dev's work, opinions on other member's in this thread, ALL are off-topic and violate Forum Rules. 15. Keep threads / posts on-topic

2) Unless you are part of the moderation staff, please do not attempt to moderate the thread. Scolding, correcting, and telling other members how rude they are being have NOTHING to do with development and are also off-topic comments. If anyone believes a member has violated the rules, REPORT the post and move on without engaging the issue.

One member posting something rude about he dev and TEN members posting how rude they are being still adds up to 11 off-topic comments. I appreciate the regulars defending the dev/team, but it only adds to the clutter, arguing, and rarely resolves anything. (and it is still off-topic)

Report violations without engaging the other member, and be part of the solution not part of the problem :good:

3) If this or any developed work does not meet your requirements, or you are not happy with the way it is implemented or the way it works; find another mod that fits your needs. Telling the devs what they need to do, what they need to add, why can't they just combine this or that is completely out of line. If you are that savvy with development, you are always free to build your own mod and share it with the community. However you are not free to make demands and disrespect the devs as if they were your employees.

4) If your comment is not helpful, not related to development, not respectful, or not within the forum rules; please do not post it. Comments that violate the rules will be deleted and the accounts associated with those comments will be reviewed for further action. It's not worth it, someone will report it, and you will be held accountable to follow the rules.

Anyone having any questions or needing any clarification on any of this, feel free to PM me and we'll work it through :D

To all those already following the rules, thank you very much! To everyone who will start following the rules from here on out, thank you as well.

tl;dr

-be helpful, on-topic and respectful

-if you're not a moderator, please don't act like one

-report the problem, don't become part of it

-devs are being kind to share their work, they don't owe us anything

-if you don't like the mod, find another one or build your own

Heyo... I'm not sure what I do about MicroG and normal Google Play at the same time.

I've got Vanced installed without disabling the APKs signatures. It didn't work on my OnePlus 7 Pro anyway. I just made SAI sign it and problem solved. It's installed and boots fine.

But as the app say, I have to use MicroG to manage to be sign in to my account. Search the thread finds me nothing really. Googling haven't helped either since there seem to be no one running both MicroG and normal Play at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Go to first post. Read it. Then go to vanced.app website. Read it. And do not sign vanced apks file. Once you read correct steps you will understand what you are doing wrong and why it didn't work the first time.

P.S. EVERYBODY here runs microg with normal playstore. Do not think about it. Just read what is written and you will be golden
[Android Apps and Games] linuxares:
Okey, I tried doing the way they recommended but since I use Android 10 and the method doesn't guarantee Android 10. So I just gonna use the non-root version then. Thanks anyway :)
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
as Eleo said, everyone here without root uses microG alongside the play store.

what is important to note though is that we're not using the full version of microG, we're using a modified version that only works for vanced and is designed to avoid conflicts with Google play services and alternatives/replacements.

this modified version of microG should've been on the same page as the download for the non-root vanced apks, among the installation instructions.

since you've already installed vanced I suggest you start over again, as microG often doesn't work right if it's installed after vanced
[Android Apps and Games] MrKaon:
No matter what I do, Google news feed tries to open YouTube links with official YouTube app, or chrome opens web view.

Any suggestions to fix this? Or Google just been Google.

[Android Apps and Games] Pawer8:
What are the advantages of the root version?

The last post explaining the differences was on july 2019
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
Not having to use MicroG to Log-in. It was and will stay like that most likely.

Edit: If you want to use the Rooted version I highly recommend the latest v14 version so you won't have to mess with signature verification. If non root use the later (I still prefer the older non root version so I'm using that) but what you use is up to you.
[Android Apps and Games] Pawer8:
Wait the latest rooted doesn't require the signature thing?

That's not what I understood

Edit: ah you mean use an early version to v14.41.52?

Makes sense. The signature thing was throwing me off.

Tbh I just need the background playback. I wonder if this is a bit extreme just for that. I don't mind ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Flegmon:
V15 Root = Disable Signature Verification is required and removing pre installed

V15 Non-Root = MicroG is required and Installation via SAI

V14 Root/ Magisk = Recovery or Magisk (or manual copy to system) and pre installed you tube has to be removed

V14 non-root = MicroG is required

Hope this clears a bit up.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
well you see the rooted version is the real app (it has the original package name) where the non rooted has a different package name.

it's like you get as a present the nikey shoes you always wanted they look good they feel good they fits you like a glove but on the back side it says mike instead of nike would you wear them?

no but seriously it can open links from third party apps and you don't need microg (you just need riru core, riru edxposed, edxposed manager and the corepatch moduel and you are set)
[Android Apps and Games] Pawer8:
Where can I find the latest magisk module?

Can't find it on the website and I don't trust the ones on the downloads tab in magisk.

Shouldn't the non-root app also open links provided you set youtube links to open with that app?

Edit: I installed the non-root for now so I'll figure it out myself

Edit 2: Didn't take 30 sec. Just change the open by default settings
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
if you don't trust the magisk repo and obviously the vanced team have discontinued the magisk module and removed it from there site how can you trust to give you the file?

(you can trust the magisk repo they just had it cleaned not long ago)
[Android Apps and Games] Pawer8:
Cos I trust the xda community ;)

Haha jk was hoping someone from the team would help.

But for now i see no reason to use the rooted. Links are opening on the non root vanced

This is great. Thanks vanced team :)
[Android Apps and Games] v3n3:
I seem to have a problem with the root version of the latest release.

Followed the guide and installed everything successfully, but there are 2 problems:

-I can not sign in (Google Account is not listed)

-App closes after a few seconds

I double checked if I was using the root version, since those seem to be problems that happen to non-root installations.

Does anyone have any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
Will Magisk module be updated with version 15?

It was the easiest and best way to install Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I have. Please expand this part of your post:

What do you mean by that? Please answer what you did step by step so that we can tell what you did wrong

Answered multiple times. Search "magisk" in thread and look for answers in last 3 days. Also answered in first post
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Probably he signed the rooted version.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
not all apps respect the default app setting, because YouTube is pre-installed on most android devices some app developers hardcode the link to YouTube instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Pawer8:
Thats kind of a d move.

What would happen to those apps if I straight up remove the yt app? I believe i can do so with titanium
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
those apps will then open it in a chrome webview, or throw a "YouTube not found" or similar error message.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Most probably. But I stopped making assumptions from incomplete reports that say "I followed correct installation steps" without mentioning those steps
