Then switch back to v14:rolleyes:

It is not that different than v15. And you get your "beloved" seek buttons. If you "really" need it, you would switch to v14. I hope you dont post it only to force developers/modders for a faster update and asking for a fix asap. Because that is rude. V14 still works as good as v15 and it even has more functions (depends on user needs) than v15.

This same goes for users who "really need" video speed to be fixed to x2 or 3x in all videos no matter it should be played at 1x or not. V14 has that function and you can easily switch to it. As it is not widely used function, it can easily be omitted as unimportant. But v14 can still make it work. So, choice is yours. You can either switch back to v14 (if that is vital) or switch to v15 (if that is not vital) BUT silently wait for update.

And lastly, same goes for users who don't want to see ads in homescreen (ads in video are already removed by Vanced team; only ads in homescreen are present in v15). And here is the fix for users who dont want ads/videos to autoplay in homescreen:

What are the differences between this custom(?) microg vs the original?

I'm trying to disable/block the Google play services but I'm unable to make it work for other apps that depends on Google play.

This microg only works for YouTube vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
regular microG replaces Google play services for all recognized Google apps.

vanced microG fills in for Google play services(or replacement app) because they can't see the non-root version of vanced.

it's best to ignore the "microG" name in vanced microG.

it's not microG in any practical way, it's a communication bridge specifically between non-root YouTube vanced and Google that borrows much(most) of its code from microG for convenience(why reinvent the wheel?).
[Android Apps and Games] Torpin:
Hello, there is some add that still come to the app homepage. non root 15.05.54 with latest microgG.

I don't know how it works, maybe something changed on the youtube end on how they handle some adds. Anyways I thought that the devs should know that.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Anyways, I think you should have searched thread with keyword to know that it is region-dependent. Not dependent on vanced devs directly. You have a switch in vanced settings and that is it. Neither you, nor vanced devs have more power. Only fix would be use VPN for region where YouTube has no ads when using Vanced. That is it.

What's new in the latest version ( 15.05.54 ) vs. the version I have ( 14.21.54 ) Is it worth upgrading on the root version? I used to use Magisk. Install now vs. then seems complex.

Hey guys,

I have been using xda for over a decade now. And I understand the frustration of people asking the same questions over and over again, of people not reading documentation, of noobs (not their fault, butt still very annoying at times)

These things have been happening for over a decade and won't stop no matter how hard you try to reach the as new even if people learn new people will show up on these forum.

I also understand that with most people staying home these days the use and abuse of Internet (and xda) has gone up.

But to keep xda a pleasant community feel free to ignore those who are annoying to you.

Snarky or rude comments will only ruin the community.

If you notice of yourself you do get annoyed more often then not when checking xda, then check a bit less often. Chances are somebody answered already and you don't need to deal with it.

Take care of each other and stay safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You have not done the 4.a.2 step correctly. Revisit it. If you cannot do it, use nonroot. There is another method mentioned in vanced telegram group for 4.a.2 if you are interested

I meant from google's side. But for you to decide. You don't read the thread and look for an easy answer. I better leave your question for a user who would rather spoonfeed you.

Because v15 contains google's updates, but you might get the same on v14 once it gets server side updates too (not possible to block them).

No. Not possible for now but nobody can foresee the future obviously.

I have a rooted one and I have done it by ADB. I think it is the easiest. You can try with SAI too.

Just download the .apks

Rename it to .zip

Extract the files YouTube_15.05.54_API21nodpivBlack-v2.1.0-vanced.apk, config.arm64_v8a.apk and split_config.en.apk (en, es, pt... choose the one of your interest)

Rename the YouTube_15.05.54_API21(nodpi)(vBlack-v2.1.0)-vanced.apk to YouTube_15.05.54_API21nodpivBlack-v2.1.0-vanced.apk

Run this command through ADB: adb install-multiple YouTube_15.05.54_API21nodpivBlack-v2.1.0-vanced.apk config.arm64_v8a.apk split_config.en.apk

If you don't know what ADB is, you have dozens of tutorials on google

[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
And why the hell you enabled apk signing? You must disable and reinstall following the correct steps.

Check the instructions.

Let's see, I see that you speak Spanish. On the first page is a list of instructions for root, non-root, and MIUI. Try them and see what step you are skipping.

You have to have uninstalled the native YouTube application and install the micro G from the original page.

A ver, que veo que hablas español. En la primera página hay una lista de instrucciones para root, no root y para MIUI. Prueba con ellas y mira a ver qué paso te estás saltando.

Tienes que tener desinstalada la aplicación nativa de YouTube e instalar el micro G de la página original.

If I want to install the root version on Android 10, what is the easiest methode ? Smali patcher is not for Android 10 yet, so can I juste install Riru and EdExposed in magisk, then inatall the module Core Patch in EdExposed do disable APK signature verification ? And once YTVA installed, re-enable signature verification ? And mostly, if it work, can I then uninstall Core Patch, Riru and EdExposed from my device after installing Youtube Vanced ? I don't want to have EdExposed on my device.

Thank you for telling me if this will work, or if there is any simpler way to do :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
So you cannot enable signature validation after installation? Numerous posters say otherwise. They disable it. Install apk. Then enable it.

It was already written in this thread. Once installed apk you can remove CorePatch module and edxposed. It is not needed anymore. A simple thread search would reveal the answer

Can you explain What steps you did to try and install root version? You would need to delete original utube first as vanced root has same package name as original utube.

But yes you would be able to install non root version without disable signature verification no worries on a rooted phone. With non root you can keep original utube aswell as vanced version if that's what you want.

Easiest way is to search for a module on edexposed, I believe smali patcher (magisk module) may also work for you but a little more complicated.

[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Do you may need to re-read the instructions, that error implies you do not have java installed on your computer. This is getting very off topic though so you may need to see if there is a smali patcher thread for support, use edexposed or use non root version.
[Android Apps and Games] finixs:
Umm, failed. Delete the pre-installed utub using XXXX, still promote failed in SAI.

After reboot it is successfully installed. But app can't sign in and play video(keep crash, although can enter the app). And Play Store doesn't work.

Well, Try and Learn. May be disable app signature verification is the safest way.

[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Not any major differences no, root version has same package name as original utube, and doesn't require micro g for install. But for most everyday users you probably will not notice a difference.

The root version eats sausage links and the non root eats sausage pattys. Only. Try to slip them a veggie substitute and you'll be sorry you had.

I'm sorry, my thoughts are growing weirder by the day with all this isolation. There are minimal differences and if you're using android 10 my understanding is the main difference is negated. I could be wrong about that though. I finally switched to non root version and haven't noticed any drawbacks.

What solution did you use, which failed?

I have built a solution which I have running on three devices, none of which have had an update from the playstore.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-temefi-comprehensive-documentation-t3806260

You will find it under the menu at:

Application Info / Manage>DETACH: Select Package from Playstore>Select Package then Protection Level v2>com.google.android.youtube

If you have been running a different detach method, you will most likely need to accept an update from the play store, and either cancel it just before the install, or uninstall the update (to return your market state to a working state), THEN run the detach method within my app.

You can check if the detach status by running:

Application Info / Manage>CHECK: The Detach of a single package>com.google.android.youtube

If any are a fail just after a detach, then your starting state was not good.

NB: The detach feature is only 1 of 580+ features, the app is not only about detaching apps.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
I mean, you can simply disable auto updates for YouTube instead of using some detach method. It's a lot easier. Works for me. I've detached it in the past and the only difference has been cosmetic (update appears in the store).

Hello,

I switched back to v14.
[Android Apps and Games] TheFreediver:
This must be tge reason why mine is force closing. Didn't know that it was mandatory microg
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You don't HAVE TO login with microG. But it is REQUIRED to be installed. You can install microG and vanced and use YouTube without logging in. But you canNOT use vanced without installing microG beforehand. Simple.

The procedure of installation is clearly written in first post. None of the steps are marked as "optional". You need all those steps.

1. Do you mean like/dislike under videos in homepage or under comments?. Under comments it is visible here.

Under images/posts you don't have dislike button. You only have like button. And it is easy to see whether you liked or not. If upon pressing button the number increases, then you thanked, if decreases, then you withdrew your thanks.

2. If you use vanced nonroot that could be the case. You have two options: write to video enhancer devs to incorporate com.vanced.android.youtube app package into the enhancer list, or use rooted vanced that has same app package name as Google's YouTube.
