I've been using the non-root version for a while, but since I'm on Lineage OS I wanted to try the root version so I don't have to install microg.

So I tried it, an update released, I installed it and the icon went back to the original one (white), I couldn't fix it so I uninstalled it and went back to the non-root version.

Now every time I reboot the device a non-working rooted version (black icon, called "Youtube") keeps appearing next to "Youtube Vanced" and I don't know how to stop it. I've uninstalled it, removed superuser rights from Vanced Manager, but every time I uninstall it it reappears after rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Vanced Manager does not properly uninstall root version. Clean up manually:

- go to /data/adb

- delete Vanced subfolder (with base.apk inside)

- from service.d subfolder delete vanced.sh file (keep everything else there)

Then reboot. I'm not using non-root version but I would also uninstall non-root (before rebooting) and re-install (upon rebooting)

I've just gotten a new handset, a Redmi Note 8t, running miui12.

Trying to open a YouTube link from the Google app forces me to a Google play store page for official YouTube app (which I've disabled rather than uninstalled, as it's a system app)

I'm in the limbo period between requesting bootloader unlock and being able to do so.

I use the non-root variant along with microg (purely because I couldn't ever get the auto-update feature within play store to not update my vanced app, into official YouTube)

Please help (or point out the blindingly obvious setting that I've missed)

I'm fairly confident that when I flash pixel experience in a weeks time, this issue will disappear but I'm pulling out what little hair I have left, until then.

Edit 2add

I've changed the feature within Google app, to not open links within the Google app and the first YouTube link I've clicked, offered me the option to open within YouTube vanced. So I think I'm a happy camper again

I did say that in my opinion it's not as good as vanced.

I only use YouTube on my android tv to cast videos to, from my phone.

It does that, and blocks adverts.

I agree with your points though but it's "acceptable"for my needs

My needs are actually met better, using the YouTube plugin for Kodi, and throwing the videos from my phone again.

I don't use YouTube on my TV, like I do on my phone because I find the searching\browsing of content to be a chore. I understand that I'm probably not a typical usage case though

Edit 2 add. It does 4k on my TV and remembers my login credentials. I don't know why yours doesn't. Sorry

I think I may have actually fixed it this time. I re enabled the official YouTube app, removed all updates and cleared data, cache and set-defaults, then disabled again.

Hello everyone!

This app is the best youtube app that I ever used! I started searching alternative app years ago when google started putting too much commercials in the original app and the situation became unbearable for me. And I just found Vanced and it was and still is the right app for me. Actually I love it so much that I recommend it to all of my friends and also the translation of the latest versions to my native language (Bulgarian) is also made by me.

Now a question to the developers - is it possible to make the captions of the videos to be always off and only on when specifically turned on? Now is very annoying to constantly turn them off on any video that I watch because I do not need them most of the time.

Thankyou for your great app!

Fix "YouTube Vanced root dissapears after reboot"

IMPORTANT: YT Vanced now comes with the standard YT icon, hence don't claim it dissapears if you don't see its icon - run and play something in the background and then judge

And MAKE SURE to disable Auto update for YouTube app in Playstore (or use techniques to detach YouTube from Playstore) - see 1st screenshot.

Any time YouTube updates from Playstore, you will loose Vanced YT!!!

There were many guides (differently written, missing here and there some details, causing to work for some and not for the others) how to fix

It all comes from the fact that Vanced Manager does not delete its stuff from /data/adb when you Uninstall root Vanced YT (didnt check yet did they finally fix it in 2.0).

Because of that, old folder /data/app/com.google.android.youtube* remains, and next time Vanced Manager does not mount YT Vanced base.apk to the proper folder

Do exactly in this order and exactly all steps:

1) From Vanced Manager, Uninstall Root YT Vanced version

(exactly that - uninstalling Vanced Manager does not help, revoking its root grant makes things even worse)

2) Settings, Apps, uninstall YouTube (exactly YT - uninstalling Vanced Manager does not help)

3) Use root explorer like MiXPlorer, go to /data/adb/ and delete Vanced folder and vanced.sh from service.d folder

4) Reboot!!!!!

5) Again, with MiiXPlorer go to /data/app and delete ALL folders (0, 1 or more) named com.google.android.youtube* (* substitutes whatever garbish letters you may find there) with all stuff in those folders

6) Also, with MiiXPlorer go to /data/data and delete ALL folders named com.google.android.youtube* (* substitutes all garbish letters you may find there) with all stuff in those folders

7) Reboot again

8) (Update Vanced Manager and) install Root Vanced YT.

(On Xiaomi, you don't need to disable MIUI optimizations, just ignore what Vanced Manager warns - at least for Mi 9T with MIUI 12, Android 10)

If you still have problems with Vanced YT dissapearing after reboot

9) Download the attached vanced.txt and rename it to vanced.sh

10) By MiXPlorer go to /data/adb/service.d and rename vanced.sh you find there to vanced.bak

11) Copy into that folder the downloaded (and renamed) vanced.sh

12) MAKE SURE that this new vanced.sh file would have Chroot 744 properties (when you copy it, it will have 644 - from MiXPlorer select the file, take Properties, follow the last three screenshots

13) Reboot

Steps 9-13 substitute YT Vanced Magisk modules that were in use last months - this script contains the crucial stuff originating by [MENTION=7280276]ipdev[/MENTION].

But before steps 9-13, root Vanced YT must be installed by Vanced Manager!!!

Agreed, nothing wrong with it.

[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
I updated the module to also mount YouTube Music if installed, so a single module for both mods. For those that the mount works but YouTube crashes when starting, I made two other modules with other approaches: do not wait for the boot to finish to mount the apk and also switch between the service.d and post-fs-data.d script modes to see if there is some difference.

Remember: if after restarting the device YouTube is not present in the launcher, you need to reinstall using Vanced Manager before installing another module and restarting. And if any of them work, don't forget to report which
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
For those having an issue with Vanced being removed/disabled on boot.

Uninstall everything to get back to stock.

This includes manually deleting extra files/directories in /data/app/

The Vanced scripts in /data/adb/service.d and /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/

[ vanced.sh and/or music.sh ]

The Vanced directory(s) in /data/adb/

[ Vanced and/or Music ]

--

Then using the new Vanced manager, install the root version of YouTube and/or Music.

Once installed, close the manger and edit the boot script(s) in /data/adb/service.d/

For vanced.sh (YouTube) replace

while [ 1 != 1 ] ; do sleep 1

with

while [ -z $YT ]; do YT=$(dumpsys package com.google.android.youtube)

For music.sh (YT Music) replace

while [ 1 != 1 ] ; do sleep 1

with

while [ -z $YTM ]; do YTM=$(dumpsys package com.google.android.apps.youtube.music)

Delete the Vanced script(s) in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/ and reboot.

This should work if the bind mount was running too early or late on your device.

Basically it will wait until the app is loaded and then run the bind mount right after.

Cheers all. :cowboy:

PS.

If you are not sure how to edit the boot scripts.

Attached is a script that will do it.

Download mvboot.txt and rename to mvboot.sh

Run as root in a shell/terminal [ sh mvboot.sh ]

or

Run as root from a file manager like fx or mix.

I was able to follow the other steps, but I am unable to delete the com......youtube.* directories in /data/app/ , my file manager won't let me.

Does uninstalling the vanced apps from android settings also not remove them properly (you said vanced manager does not uninstall them properly) ?
[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
Android write protect it. You need to use TWRP File Manager to delete
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
You will not be able to delete it if the bind mount is active.

You can try unmounting it as root in shell/terminal.

[ umount /data/app/FullPath/base.apk ]

Otherwise, just delete the mount script from service.d and reboot.

Then you can manually delete the file.

PS.

Fixed typo in prior post. :o

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
You must grant root permisiion to MiXPlorer to be able to delete from /data (Data is not System and not read-only on the file system level)

As explained above, as long as service.d/vanced.sh and Vanced/base.apk remain in /data/adb (Vanced Manager 1.x DOES NOT REMOVE them when you uninstall YT Vanced root), on every reboot Magisk will mount base.apk back to /data/app/com.google.android.youtoube* and you will not be able to delete that folder

That is the reason that

-first uninstall YT Vanced from Manager (it will unmount base.apk but only until next reboot)

- then delete vanced stuff from /data/adb to prevent mounting base.apk upon next reboot

- then reboot and with root explorer granted root, you can finally remove things from /data/app

must be cleared from /data/adb, then reboot, then deleting from

Thanks. All these root versions and modules and scripts are getting messy, so I'm considering doing a full uninstall of the root versions going back to the nonroot versions of both vanced apps. I haven't really noticed any difference in features between them other than the different package name and the microg requirement which I hope doesn't have any downsides. I hope the vanced team figures out all this installation/uninstallation stuff for the root version. It used to be a lot easier when it was a magisk module.

I have some strange bug. I am using latest Vanced version.

my YouTube always open in background and stand as PAUSE cause I am listening to lectures and I resume when I can.

for some reason YouTube start playing by itself whenever I receive a phone call. imminently when the ringtone start ringing, the YouTube start playing and I find myself talking to people when YouTube play in the background :(

I have tried to ask in some android Facebook group and some other people having the same issue...

any ideas or solution ?

I am using Galaxy Note ultra 20 but I guess other people who has it maybe having different phones.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
Had that happen earlier when testing on a Pixel 3aXL (Google Stock) Android 11.

My Magisk install was a little borked. (Rom is a little borked also due to meddling.)

After fixing and updating Magisk to the latest Canary, everything started working again.

(I did uninstall YouTube updates and YT Music. Manually clean all left over files/directories to start over clean.)

Not sure if it helps you but, might want to look at your Magisk install closely..

(Sometimes Magisk appears to be fine even if it is a little borked.)

What device/rom/Magisk version are you running?

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
See the post I linked a few pages back. It works perfectly & it's pretty straightforward. Just be sure to use SAI, not Vanced manager to install it. It doesn't work with VM. Delete/disable any Magisk scripts relating to YouTube.

Also, to remove any folders leftover from previous YouTube installs boot into TWRP then use file manager in that - It'll allow you to delete.

hello, I'm having a problem. When I installed YouTube Vanced and Music Vanced in Vanced Manager 2.0, when I finished downloading and installing the application it was installed and it worked fine, but when I restarted my smartphone both applications disappeared then I saw the Vanced Manager 2.0 both applications were not installed. I was on the rom lineage os 17.1 android 10, it happened in all the rom that I tried, my smartphone was xiaomi redmi 4a.
[Android Apps and Games] Gleniu:
Hi, thank you for the module update. Anyway, I'm facing issues with Music. I believe it is because your script is determining the Music path by looking for "split_config.en.apk" in potential folders. The thing is, that Music in opposite to normal YouTube, doesn't use split installer, so the "split_config.en.apk" isn't there in installation folder. Do you have any other idea to determine the correct Music path?

EDIT: I forgot to describe the issue I'm facing. Music is visible in a drawer, I can launch it, but it is not a Vanced version, just stock Music app (autoupdate disabled in Play Store, so that's not a case). So maybe I'm wrong and it's not a problem with your module, especially because there was a post with positive feedback above, but rather with Music Vanced?

EDIT2: I fixed it by myself. Indeed, the "split_config.en.apk" was a culprit. I changed it to "/lib" and now the $YtMusicPath is set correctly and the Music Vanced mounts correctly and works great after reboot ? If someone needs the module, I'm attaching it, but remember that all the credits go to KaMyKaSii and better wait for him to update the module "officially".
