0. Does it happen in the Google YouTube apk available from the playstore as well? No, just to this apks

1. Your device model. E.g. samsung galaxy note 8, huawei p30 lite and etc. OnePlus 5

2. Your current android version. E.g. pie (9.0), nougat (7.1.2) and etc. Android Pie 9

3. Your current ROM. E.g. stock firmware by manufacturer (written as TW, MIUI, EMUI), custom AOSP/LOS ROM, custom ROM (can also be TW/MIUI/EMUI) and etc. Stock: Stock OS: OxygenOs 9.0.11

4. Your choice of Vanced YouTube (in case there are several installation trials, bugreport should be provided for each of them separately). It should be provided as "color arch root-type appversion". E.g. "black legacy nonroot 15.05.54", "dark default rooted 15.05.54", "black magisk 14.21.54" and etc.

Include the source from where you got the files (vanced apk/apks/microg/magisk module) as well (e.g. from mediafire link in OP, vanced.app website and etc). Variant: Root; Arch: Default; Theme: Dark; This is the file: https://vanced.app/downloads/YouTube_Vanced-v15.05.54-root-default-dark.apks

A. If rooted/magisk version:

4.a.1. Your current root method and root method version. E.g. Supersu 2.8, Magisk 20.3 and etc. Magisk 20.4

4.a.2. Which method did you use to disable apk signature verification? I installed Smali Patcher following the instructions and it is enabled now in magisk. I selected the following options: Secure flag, Signature verification and Signature spoofing

4.a.3. The steps you performed for installation starting from factory reset/uninstallation of stock YouTube app if it is present (we need to see your steps one by one; if you write "as written here/using required steps" then it cannot be evaluated and your report will be count as incomplete) until you got the issue/problem. If you provide vague steps rather than thorough, you will have a low chance to get your issue troubleshot and solved. I didn't touch youtube app. And I didn't disable it. Should I? I directly installed Smali Patcher and SAI. Afterwords, I downloaded the youtube vanced apks, selected root mode in SAI and tried to install it.

5. Did you get any kind of errors during installation steps or while using app? If yes, then provide both screenshots and logs of error (for SAI apk error, only screenshot of SAI app error screen will be enough). About how to log, you can find several hundred pages of information in web. Basically, if you are rooted, use matlog app; if you are unrooted, use adb logging. There is also an app called TeMeFI by [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] for logging even without root for users without PC/laptop for adb. Check it out if needed

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
As I already answered, you FAILED to disable signature verification. If you can't make use of smali patcher, use other methods. There is another method mentioned in vanced telegram channel including riru xposed and core patch xposed module.

If you don't want to use xposed, then provide more info about step of disabling signature verification using smali patcher (e.g. version of smali patcher) and SAI settings (e.g. did you disable "Sign Apks" in SAI settings?)
[Android Apps and Games] karlospv94:
Many thanks, guys! It worked following the edXposed and corepath way. Many non-desirable things installed now in my phone but at least I achieved to install Youtube Vanced as well.

Anyway I can't pay now with contactless since SafetyNet is not passing now... But id worked again when removing edXposed.

The pain here is that I guess all this process will be needed again with the following Youtube Vanced update
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
you are welcome now you can uninstall sai, edxposed manager and core pach and remove riru core and edxposed from magisk if you don't need them anymore

this is now your base youtube and if you ever update it by mistake you can uninstall the update from app info and you'll be back to good old YTV

be safe

1. Started from today my recommended feed randomly bombarded with ads (without text, merged with videos).

2. And these hugely ANNOYING Community Posts - can someone switch them off out of existence? Today i saw ~20 Community posts in a row. Crazy.

3. Switch to disable recommended Mix'es of music? Would be nice addition to clear some trash of feed. And don't say "never listen music and you'll be fine"))

4. Stories in subscription feed can be visible.

5. Watermark always on.

>>> v15 have some problems. Do we need wait 9 month and 29 february 2021 to update and fix?

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You? No. A user as disrespectful as you only deserves to uninstall this mod and only use Google's Youtube, or at least pay for YouTube Red so that he has decency to write such a disrespectful post. Not for a mod that is freely available to you. Such a shame. A user that not only asks for ETA (frowned upon!) but also MAKES FUN OF modders should not exist in such a friendly place as XDA. If you a had a little respect to work of modders you would at least search in thread to find what you need to do. But a user like you doesn't deserve help. Please leave this thread and don't use this mod again!

Shuffling playlist issues

Love this app. I noticed for a while that if i play in shuffle mode it will only shuffle the last 20-30 songs depending on if you have it on most popular or latest added and etc. It will not randomize a full playlist. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Make your own playlist. Works perfectly on my playlists. Your question has no relation to this mod whatsoever. You should rather post it to Google.

interestingly v14 still works, keeping it til the last breath and wait til the install procedure gets friendly.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Nothing new

Yes. V14 still works. Even earlier versions as well. And it probably will continue working for a long, indefinite time
[Android Apps and Games] Diskkk:
So it is broken for everyone. And I didn't do anything stupid?.
[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
The non root version works perfectly fine without Google Services
[Android Apps and Games] nitramus:
Even if I have root I still use the non root version. I just can't notice any difference at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Not broken. Ads inside video are still blocked. Until they are unblocked nothing is broken
[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
Because there is no difference
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have always used the root version, and that was because there is a difference.

Using the root version, I do not have to install MicroG (for login I think). Also, as the root version has the same package name as the official YouTube, any place where YouTube is explicitly referenced, it will work seamlessly as if it is Google's YouTube. I think the main (or only) one is YouTube links in a chrome based browser; not sure about embedded YouTube videos as I have only ever used the root version. Maybe others will chime in. As I said, I have always used the root version.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I can chime in. I have "nearly" always used nonroot. Because it is simple. You dont need scripts to block updates (though TeMeFi is great app, no concerns there). I dont use stuff like casting (and etc) that require com.google.android.youtube package name. I have no issues installing extra microG.

The links on chrome open with browser (if Google's YouTube is blocked) or Google's YouTube (rarely). Links in chat apps like telegram and whatsapp open in Vanced YouTube window (that can be maximized to standard Vanced YouTube with a button).

Lastly, the reason that I use nonroot for last 7-8 months is because I purchased a new device and don't want to root it for now. Though my mi a1 and samsung galaxy note 3 (both rooted) also dont use rooted Vanced YouTube since 2nd v14 update, because I dont find it useful for my usage.

The keyword here is "my usage". And everybody should adjust it for their usage. Please do not make choices depending on how other people decide.

ADS in VANCED

Hello everyone.

How do you like it? Am I the only one who, beginning yesterday, receive/see ads in YOUTUBE VANCED?
[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
Why should someone use the newer versions of vanced which require more steps to be installed and not the old ones? Do they provide some extra features? I now use the 14.21.54 version.

Also if you disable apk signature verification, can you enable it after again? If yes, why you don't recommend it?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
That is not even remotely related to ads. Not even remotely.

I am guessing you haven't read any posts in last pages at all... Great. I advise you to read them as they contains all the answers to your questions.

I am guessing you haven't read any posts on latest pages. Congrats. The answer to your question is located there.
[Android Apps and Games] yellowblueua:
Thank you. I'm new here. I will in read previous posts)

[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
Anyway, i will stick on root v14.41.52 cause i don't need more problems in my head!
[Android Apps and Games] seburton:
Something like "v14. 41.52 always works and I don't have enough skills to make the step to the new way but thank's a lot for you work vanced team" should have been be more appropriate don't you think?

If they changed how installation work it's because google changed how YouTube works.

The work of vanced team is awesome, is free and takes a lot of time. So please, respect their work...
[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
Ok, but it's dangerous to disable signature verification.. And what about android 10? Only option is the yellow face app?
[Android Apps and Games] hamadaxd:
am not able to get sign in in YouTube vanced with microg as well and it gets stuck on agreement page and keeps on loading.

it keeps stucking there and doesn't load further. i recently removed my account and now i am facing this problem.please help
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Just for clarity, its not a script that you need to keep running in the background. Its a one-off process (in an app) that can then be uninstalled. However, I agree with you, if updates are your main and only concern (ie you don't use other root features), then non-root is the way to go.

Is there a post somewhere here that documents ALL the differences? I have checked the OP and the second post which is an FAQ, and I did not find it. The difference wasn't even mentioned, which was a surprise considering how often it is asked or mis-stated, or half state; like I did:o.

I haven't installed it (my test phones are 10, but my daily is Oreo, and still running v14) but what I understand thus far by looking at it, the smali patcher is not the app you allude to, but an app that runs on your PC and also a magisk module; its hosted here on XDA
[Android Apps and Games] Bouffe:
Same than others, I have now ads :(
[Android Apps and Games] seburton:
You're right, by using micro g, you don't need to disable it.

I'm using vanced on android 10 and for me v15...is perfect thanks to the remote when I cast a video
[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
I don't use cast. Do i need something from the version 15?
[Android Apps and Games] seburton:
I don't think, v14 seems to be perfect for you.

Hi,

I have the latest version installed 15.05.54 (Magisk module and then SAI on it) and I'm still getting ads.

Any suggestions ??
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Answered in previous pages. Either revert to v14 or just tolerate homescreen(!!!) ads. So nice that I have to write this message every ¢€¥€£ page... Perfect! So nice that all the users actually read and search in thread as they should have done. Awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Arcide:
Still doesnt work for me. Is there something specific I need to do?
[Android Apps and Games] felipe_hdez:
I love this mod, is there a way to sign the app with system signature so we can use magisk again? I'm checking into that, let me know if someone knows a way to do this. Of course it wouldn't be universal since different ROMS and devices have different system signatures.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I didn't wish to quote anyone, so as to avoid giving the people stating the unfounded statements any credit.

If I understand this mod, then when people call it spyware or such, the thing to remember, is this modded apk is basically googles YouTube app with the advertising removed. As such, it has any spyware / tracking that Google's YouTube has LESS the tracking/spyware that is inherent in the advertising that is being blocked.

I would suggest that if the posters of these claims are noit going to respond with any proof, people simply hit the report button rather than responding. They have already had way too much attention.
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Does annoy the hell out of people though.. Some of these people are just plan thick, they refuse to read or search..
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
The problem starts when a "reportable" post gets a reply. If no reply, then you can report and get it (probably) removed by moderators (you can also get NAR (no action required) reply). But if there is a reply to the poster in thread, then moderators either need to remove both posts without giving the first poster a chance to reply to the second poster (which can sometimes be important) or leave the discussion there until there is chaos (in most cases that is the decision; i.e. to delete as less posts as possible).

I think we all know (and we have seen many many examples of such posts in past) the reason of such posts (that try to frighten people or make them leave this mod). YouTubers+monetizing. If you remember, there even were YouTubers who claimed that YouTube will close Google accounts that use Vanced mod (https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post81332639). Same story. They are trying to frighten people so that they return back to Google's YouTube.

Either reported and removed OR answered and cleared, the result is same. A user that sees that post will also see the replies. It is better to leave this discussion, as even an increased attention to this, is waste of time (even an anti advertisement is an advertisement).

;)

I think you might need to read into google's new signature check. As announced earlier, Vanced team was also looking into this, but couldn't get. And no. "Different ROMs" is not the case here. The case is any android device that is bound to google and/or playstore.

If you have difficulty, use non-root.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
History works perfectly since my first (v13) to last shared version. Applicable to both root and nonroot versions. If anybody has issues, should report properly. Otherwise we cannot know what you are doing wrong. Funny to read such a post froma user with 3k posts and 1k thanks... Where is the world going to? I check history very often to see my last viewed videos.

Personally I have seen hundreds of users who did not even read first page FAQ post about what to do. I am sincerely hoping those users are not the ones who say "history doesn't work".

You just need to read FAQ and follow steps. Easy:

[Android Apps and Games] cultofluna:
History definitely not working
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
History definitely works. Definitely.

The reason why it may not work for you are two:

1. You haven't read FAQ post:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post75772883

2. Your adblocker blocks s.youtube.com even after whitelisted.

In 2nd case case you have 3 options:

1. You can continue using that adblocker, not having history in YouTube but also not posting in this thread. It is not Vanced team's fault that you are not using a good and tweakable adblocker.

2. You can switch to another adblocker that allows whitelisting s.youtube.com, continue having YouTube history, thus no reason to post in this thread.

3. You can purchase YouTube Red and start posting to Google.

Bye.

Using latest black version when replying to comments, if I press and hold on a word the "select all, copy, cut, paste" etc do not show since the text is black and the box is black.

Only way is to use the dark (grey) version. The text of those functions is also black but can be read due to a lighter grey background.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Actually no. You can easily switch to white mode (settings/general/dark theme -> off) while using black version and type/edit comments. You don't get same issue on white mode in black version of Vanced YouTube without needing to switch to dark version of it. I personally don't type/edit a lot of comments. But if you do need it very often, you can revert to v14 latest (same as here) in case you say I dont want to switch to white settings only to just to type/edit comments each time. White setting doesn't have same issue as you described. You can check it as well. Probably that was a problem on that version of YouTube when released by Google (modded by Vanced team). Thank God we have v14 that can compensate for the Google's bugs in v15.

Do you know of a URL which can be whitelisted for PIP work properly on WhatsApp?

[Android Apps and Games] pikachukaki:
With the updates been so rarely can at least remove somehow the youtube from playstore that constantly needing update? Its messing with my OCD!
[Android Apps and Games] SOCOM-HERO:
Is there a way to get the old PIP back while in the app? Like the way it appears when you're out of the app as a larger player you can move around?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
thats a playstore issue, not a vanced issue. You have the choice to use the non-root version which totally removes that specific issue.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82390325&postcount=15231

The other way is using a detach method such as exposed sudo hide or:

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

under the menu:

Application Info /Manage>Detach App From Playstore>DETACH: Select Package Then Protection Level v3>com.google.android.youtube>3 - Invalidate the data <etc etc etc>

Then run the check to see it has been applied:

What are the major differences between Vanced v15 and v14?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
vanced.app, changelog.

Basically none.
[Android Apps and Games] SOCOM-HERO:
Thanks, I wasn't sure what was meant by that sentence in the changelog as I think it was called something else in older versions. I did like it though, on Google of course to ruin their own features. Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Major differences are in changelog by Google. You can request it from Google. It is not publicly announced anywhere and you cannot get changelog from vanced team as they use the released app by Google to modify it. They do not add changes to the previous v14 mod themselves.

Vanced claims nothing. Vanced owes you nothing. Vanced provides you AD FREE VIDEO WATCHING and it does it. If you can't tolerate some ads in homescreen, re-read my answer above. I have provided you solution.

And no. You haven't reported. This is not how Android report is done. See my signature to find how actual report looks like. All you did was to add one more of same posts that have been answered in every page of this thread. Which clearly shows that you neither have read nor searched. Shame.

The solution is in my post. You just need to be able to see it. It is simple and straightforward.

You say it is ads are autoplaying, I say there is a toggle. If you knew there is a toggle, then you would use it. But you want to "say that you "I searched and read" but you clearly haven't done either. That is it. You are added to ignored users list. You can post your issues to Google now. No more help to you
