I just updated magisk which deleted my working installation of this app. I didn't see this in magisk anymore so I installed the root version from their website through SAI. As a result, whenever I click settings, the app crashes., and I can't add an account. I installed microg because the app told me I wouldn't be able to add an account without it. Alas, I am still unable to.

Edit, I had a backup of my old installation. Somehow it lost the black theme, but still can't access my microphone. Anyone know about this?

Second edit. I got the black theme back by simply using the app. I loaded a playlist, it reloaded itself in black. Now it's good.

I still can't access my mic though.

Does that mean that v13's don't have any ads then? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
That was an example, as most users are either in updated v15, or refrain to update because of several reasons (tougher installation steps/the function they like is missing in v15/more ads in v15 and etc) and stay in v14.

Server side updates should hit all older YouTube versions afaik. May not be present right after installation (same for v14 too) but once it syncs with Google, it should get ads as well. Not tested. Just a speculation. You can test and report back if you like. For me, homescreen ads/search screen ads are not that disturbing

Did you misunderstood the steps or the guide was somehow wrong?

If you want to report a misleading part in miui user guide, please mention it here. It will also help other users who have similar setup as yours.
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
I've searched/test stuff for a while but here my experience with a rooted (magisk) One Plus device with OOS10 , android 10.

1- V15 ROOT under SAI wont work (certificate error, even with systemless mod and sai in root mode)

2- V15 NON-ROOT will work in SAI, but with tons of ads, even with adaway.

3 -V14 ROOT work super fine ! But instructions are not clear.:

3.1 - Make sure stock youtube is installed on you device

3.2 - under the same folder, download those 3 files : 1. Youtube_14.21.54 APK (arm64-v8a for the Oneplus devices). 2. yvta-universal-installer-v5.1.zip. 3. ytva_install_via_magisk.plz

3.3 - in TWRP flash the yvta-universal-installer-v5.1.zip file
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Just a side note:

1. V15 root/unroot have same amount of ads. And ads are regional. Not everybody experience it the same level.

2. You didn't mention your steps for installation of v15 rooted, and I have seen many users fail to overcome the certificate step (that is not as if "sai doesn't work" it is just "user didn't accomplish required step"). I am guessing, writing "it won't work" would be not as correct as if you wrote "I couldn't do it", which would be fine.

But as I said, if you don't like the amount of ads in v15 nonroot, it is not any different on v15 root.

Hi,

I just wanted to know if anyone has got YouTube Vanced to work without google play services?

I'm currently on android 10 and I don't want to install gapps.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] SeanFromSoCal:
It doesn't require Google Play services and that's why you need to sideload the APK and optionally the Vanced MicroG if you want to log into your Youtube account.
[Android Apps and Games] asfandyartamoor:
I installed MicroG and the YT Vanced Black.

Whenever I open the app it says your phone doesn't support google play services.

I press OK and the app closes.

I just don't want to install GApps with my rom.

Any links of tested and working versions or method to get the app working would be really helpful.

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------

I fixed the issue.

An app was interfering with it
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Minimum Android version supported by Vanced youtube app is android 4.2 for Vanced from oldest to 13.50.52 versions), android 4.4 for Vanced v14 and android 5.0 for Vanced v15 (though microG supports minimum up to 4.0.1 version). Android 4.1.2 falls behind that and thus is not supported by app. Try finding out a custom ROM that is built for android4.2 or above for that same device to be able to use any Vanced YouTube apps OR use another client for YouTube from playstore or XDA-Labs market that supports that android version.

Could you mention which app specifically?

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Well, if you say so, then we can have nothing else to say. Only just that vanced doesn't work on your device/setup. Please choose another app/service.

But, in case you want to troubleshoot the issue (you might call it an issue even if you installed everything properly), and get a help, mention the "proper steps" that you have done and answer questions in this post:

Hi,

I was just curious if the same thing is happening to other user's, on my android phone that's running android 9.0, I've been disabling the original version of youtube, and it keeps turning itself back on and then wanting to update. Is google getting even more sneaky about app's that it really doesn't want installed on our phones? At least for me it's rather frustrating, of course I much prefer the vanced app over the original youtube product.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Not enough info to troubleshoot. You obviously need to mention root/nonroot Vanced firstly. And install chrome to test again whether you can replicate the event. There are many possible fixes but we cannot help you unless we understand what is the setup, why is the issue so that we can propose a fix.

And of course, as a first and MUST step, tell whether you get same thing on Google's YouTube or not

I was coming from the angle that it is not a bug, but the expected behavior of non-root. But since I do not run non-root, I am not 100% sure and hence phrased it as a question.

Did you install microG after or before Vanced? If after, then uninstall Vanced YouTube, then reinstall it. If before, then answer questions:

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

Also don't forget to tell more details about the error that you are receiving

Well, then it should have been mentioned that "other than switching from chrome to brave, I also switched from root to nonroot", as even with chrome, nonroot Vanced is not opened while clicking on YouTube links. The user has not even provided the very basic of "which Vanced YouTube he is talking about". That is why he can have two outcomes:

- dismissed post

- a clingy user who insists on him to provide info so that he can get help

P.S. It is possible that some time before, chrome could open nonroot Vanced YouTube links. That is why I also asked him to check in his current setup whether he is possible to replicate it IN CASE he is using nonroot. If he is using root Vanced, then again, as I mentioned in my post, he should check with Google's YouTube whether it is the same. And if it is, then it is not Vanced YouTube bug, bug general Brave/YouTube bug. And it could be fixed with apps like "open with" that can indicate a link to be associated with given apps.

I actually did as much as I could from as little info as the user provided

[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
More than likely that's all Google and forcing you to update as the old version/layout is not going to be supported anylonger. It does the same thing on the browser version. Eventually, you'll be forced to upgrade.

I assume you are on the root version. Have you detached youtube from the playstore?

I used to get this a long time ago, before I detached it from the playstore. Since then, cant remember seeing it again. I am runninbg the old version 14.21.54 of vanced root.

not if its detached, at least not for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I am guessing you had ROOT vanced. Because nonroot Vanced would not get overwritten by google's youtube. And then you say you used microG to log in. Which is only applicable to nonroot Vanced.

Then you said you installed Vanced. Which version? With which method? Again, no idea.

Your post doesn't make sense. Could you be more precise and rather answer the bugreport questions in first page (post#5)
[Android Apps and Games] suicyko:
same here.

no history since around 4 days.

if i use Youtube website, history appeared on Vanced.

seems that Vanced doesn't mark video to history.

i read the first page , i will try to do bugreport.

maybe Google has change something in a way to mark video to history.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Before bugreport, read second post. It is FAQ post. And it contains a part with

"history". I don't want to spoil it for you, but check it out. It most probably 99% is the reason you have issue.

If that was any global issue it would have been reported by many users (and it works perfectly on all my devices). Not only from users who haven't read FAQ.

If that doesn't fix, then you are welcome to use bugreport checklist on post#5.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] suicyko:
oh oh FAQ !

Q. Is history working ?
A. Yes! Make sure you whitelist *s.youtube.com in your adblocker. And non-root users need to check that
they are not using a brand account due to MicroG bug. If you are, you need to merge the accounts
to get the history working (YouTube Settings) Merging process will clean the current history.

ok resolved by add *s.youtube.com in white list in adaway 4.3.4 then i've done a refresh lists , to modify the host file and reboot.

tadaaa !

since i use adaway with default prefs and default lists , one of these list add youtube probably by mistake or by malforming exclude mask.

but i remembered update hosts the last week , so this add was very fresh .

i check the StevenBlack hosts and i found this. Dunno when it was added

0.0.0.0 s.youtube.com # Blocking this will interfere with video watching history

it contains also youtube but the "ads.youtube.com" . i think that Vanced had ads blocker builtin.

i will try without " * " maybe.

Anyway thanks Eleo , and once again , i didn't read the f**ing FAAAAQ before post !! ( or just flying over :D )
[Android Apps and Games] Lither:
Yes, I'm using the root version installed by flashing via TWRP with the detach_from_playstore.plz file to detach it from the Play Store, it then installed the Youtube vanced detach v1.4 module in Magisk. When I go to the Play Store under my apps update, Youtube isn't on the list so I think the detach module is working but it still popup with the update screen everytime I open the app.

By using the TeMeFI app to detach Youtube from the Play Store, is that the same as the Magisk module?
[Android Apps and Games] ULAMSS5:
I just tried clearing cache on the TV and it worked, didn't have to downgrade Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
No, its not the same. There are 3 methods of detach, and all three are different to the detach module on Magisk and the 3rd method is proving to be bullet proof. People notice that sometimes the Magisk module fails. I would not use the appearance in the playstore as a definitive detach. Its hard to test if something does not happen, but since using my methods, I have not seen the update notification. Also, people have seen the update happening using the Magisk module. I have been running mine for a number of months, without an update (Method 3).

Are you sure you disabled signature verification? Maybe smali patcher doesn't work with the new android 10 firmware.

Is there a version of YouTube vanced that doesn't automatically remove your login credentials once you disconnect from mobile data or Wi-Fi? for some reason every time I disconnect from Wi-Fi or even mobile data or both simultaneously I lose my login credentials. This results in me having to uninstall the app and the microg.apk and then reinstalling them all over again and resetting everything up from scratch.

8. Every time I turn off my Wi-Fi or mobile data one or the other and or both, the application removes my sign-in credentials. This results in me having to uninstall the application as well as uninstalling microG APK. Once I reinstall them both then I have to re login and reset up the app from scratch. this has happened on multiple occasions. And apparently it's not supposed to, and I refuse to believe that it has anything to do with my device. Since this device is brand new. It also occurred on my Note 10 plus as well so it's not device-specific.

9. No mods installed on the system

I hope this is the correct way to report this log. I put in all the requirements as best as I can. please let me know if there's any way to resolve this, apparently nobody else seems to be having that issue. Apparently, everyone else is able to turn off both Wi-Fi and/or data and not lose their login credentials.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes

And yes.

I personally use nonroot on my pixel 3a XL. And that doesn't happen to me. Also on stock firmware nonrooted no substratum.

So, no. I don't think it is app OR google issue at all. It has to be somehow related to your setup. Or your account type. Or your android version (if you are on NOT RELEASED android 11 you need to mention that as well).

Also, if issue is due to app fail, you need to only reinstall vanced app, not microG as well. If reinstalling only Vanced app doesn't help, then we need logs.

And we have to see logs. Adb logs don't require root (you can find adb logging procedure everywhere in web and xda; you will need a pc/laptop/netbook with connection to your device). To get the bare essentials in your logs, follow these steps:

- Reboot device

- start adb logging

- Open YouTube (sign in successfully)

- Turn off internet access

- Turn on internet access

- Open YouTube again to see whether you are still signed off

- If you are signed off, extract logs to text file

- To get less clutter, try not to open/interact with any other app.

- Attach logs to your post (add any more details if you can think of any)

Cheers.
