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.

Hopa it helps

Since I've updated the app I have Apple ads on the home recommandation page. Any way to solve it?

Hi,

I'm having a real tough time detaching YT from the Play Store..

I've got the installer zip, apk and detach.plz file in my download folder then I restart into TWRP and install it using the zip..

and still the play store wants to update it.

Samsung S9+

lastest stock firmware

lastest Magisk beta

Could someone give me a step by step tutorial maybe?

I'd appreciate it
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
Read the OP. instructions are there.
[Android Apps and Games] KralleDE:
you should probably reread my post I've got them all in the \sdcard\download folder

EDIT: and I did it no work for me sadly
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you used magisk, you need APK, installer zip, and magisk.plz and detach.plz. install the installer zip in magisk manager instead of twrp. It should work that way. Or just turn off auto updates for YT. Open playstore YouTube listing, tap 3 dot menu in the upper right corner. Untick auto update.

Just don't update it.
[Android Apps and Games] KralleDE:
Thank you, I uninstalled the whole app using TWRP and then used the magisk method you mentioned and I was finally able to detach YT from the Play Store (only took me 3 hours :eek: )

Thanks again

Running the non-root version, having a problem where the App remembers where I left in the video if I was watching it on any other device, but those other devices don't remember where I left off when I was playing it in the App (Vanced).

Is this a known bug ? Am I being an idiot ?
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
No it can't be, this is a runtime theme, you can't just change values in the colors file, it would change them for white theme as well.

Please do show me how, while still keeping it white for the white theme. It's easy, right?
[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
[MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] could you implement the preferred quality for 30 and 60 fps separately? For example, for videos with 60 fps available I would like to select 720p60 and for videos only at 30fps, 1080p. And could you also add an option to force English on the Vanced menu? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
In case anyone is wondering: if you uninstall YouTube with Titanium Backup, install the Vanced magisk module after that then YouTube will still be linked to the Google Play market and notify you that it needs an update. Tried that a couple of times with the same result...

PIP problem on MIUI

I have problem with youtube PIP, it's working but very rarely. When i press home button in youtube app it's working once in 100 times. I had last stable oreo rom, now i installed latest weekly release and problem still apear. What can be wrong? PIP in google maps is working without any problems. My phone is Xiaomi MI6. Miui 10 android 8.0.0.

[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
hey :) does streaming while screen of use as much data as it would screen on? i would imagine it does since it is the same source just a black screen
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
The screen is one of the biggest battery drains - So if the screen is off it's going to use much less of the battery ?
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
PiP is problematic on Xiaomi devices, it has been mentioned over many pages. There's seemingly no solution at the time.

"It's actually well known that xiaomi devices have terrible PiP support, the problem is 100% the fault of the device, doing what you said has no effect on any of my phones"

Edit: changed a word, added quote.
[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
no not the battery xD i know that it will use less battery if i have the screen of i was talking about data.. cellular data
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
lol yeah I read your post too quickly - No I don't think it'll make any difference to the Cellular Data with the screen on or off ?
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
To unlink from Google Play, you must have all files such as the Magisk installation file, the detach file, the APK all in the Downloads folder and then install via Magisk, you should be asked if you want to detach.

Disabling auto updates works fine, also.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
It only uses data for audio while screen is off the dev mentioned it before so keeping the screen off uses alot less data
[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
No problem :)

okey hehe two different answeres xD ah i hope it does :)
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Uh - I would have thought that Vanced wouldn't know the difference between screen on or off... ??
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
I'm sure the dev mentioned it before I tried searching through this thread and the magisk thread but I can't find it.

I'm positive it was mentioned at one point that while the screen is off it doesn't load the video thus saving data by only loading audio.

Either that or I'm actually losing it.... Sharon where are my pants......
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
You can easily notice it on slower connections. Even if video is having a lot of trouble loading fast enough to watch continuously, the audio will load very quickly after you turn your screen off. Then turning the screen back on will stop the video to load it again.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
If you can turn off the video stream & are only listening to the audio stream it will use less data according to this from Quara:

"If you use audio only mode in youtube music app your data will cost less and your battery will also last longer.

With a YouTube Red membership, you can turn on audio mode to listen to music without loading the video. This allows you to continuously enjoy music from your favorite artists, even if you're experiencing low connectivity or video playback issues.

To turn audio mode on or off, follow these steps:

Open the YouTube Music app.

On any tab or in the video player, toggle between video mode and audio mode ."

I haven't looked to check the settings in Vanced - Don't know if you have to change the settings to Audio Stream ONLY - Or if Vanced can somehow detect it automatically?

?

Issue: can install module via magisk manager, but app won't show up

Details: On RR 8.1 arm64, Magisk 16.4:

The vanced module had been working perfectly fine till 2 days ago when I accidentally let youtube get updated via playstore. Around the same time I'd updated magisk to 16.6.

Steps taken to fix (unsuccessfuly) :

> Uninstalled youtube via system app remover, restarted a couple times and ensured it was fully removed.

>Installed vanced again via magisk manager, but the youtube app won't show.

>After trying several reboots and install/ uninstalling the module, I tried using the universal installer with the plz files as instructed - this didn't work either.

>Wiped cache & dalvik via twrp, rebooted, uninstalled mod, reinstalled - yet again didn't help

>Downgraded back to Magisk 16.4, tried ALL suggested methods to install the mod again - still nothing

(Also, there is an empty 'YouTube' folder in /system/app, which I can't delete via any root browsers, and it's stayed there across all install/uninstalls)

Attaching the magisk log from /cache

Will truly be thankful for any help on getting the mod to work :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] Frances91:
Sorry, magisk log hadn't gotten attached in my op
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That folder is a link to magisk. You'll need to delete the update in data/app that you allowed from the playstore. That should do it. Reboot of course.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
How can I permanently prevent from this app appearing on the store?

Wait, just got an idea. If it works, bet I'll surely tell you fellas the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Multiple people already asked about this and I did try working something up but none of it worked. So unless someone else knows how to get both 30 and 60fps, it's not going to happen. Also not sure if it's possible to make only portion of the app to use different language (might be). I'll look into it when I have time and after I've actually fixed everything that is currently broken.

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]

Yes, it only downloads the audio when in background playback mode. I did some tests a while back and shared a picture in Telegram about it. I was testing a video with 320p setting. In foreground it would consume 18.2 MB of data. But the same video in background playback only consumed 3 MB of data.

[MENTION=8504661]garylawwd[/MENTION] I mentioned it here but I'll add it to FAQ so people can find it.

Edit: Added the image
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Well i can't seem to get the zip installer to detach the app from Google Play Store. The only halfway fix I know of, is to use the application manager in the 3C Toolbox, to unlink the app. Then it finally stops showing up in the update section, but after any reboot, pops up again. So I have to redo this after every boot. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
hey alright thank you very much for this!!! :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jubremelle:
I opened app from playstore. I enabled it and uninstall app from playstore. Then bam it shows up in my app drawer. Thanks tho, I just saw this instructions before I've done it myself. BTW, thanks for your help.

I don't know why people have problems regarding ads and history not working. I use the root version on a OnePlus 5T and everything worked fine on both stock and custom ROMs. I also use AdAway and the only thing I whitelist is *.disqus.com and *.tapatalk.com. I just paste the .APK in /system/app/YouTube, set the permissions to 0644(rw-r--r--) and then reboot.

Where do we update it's been a while since the last time I installed it which is the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
Either via the Magisk app if installed through Magisk, or the Vanced website linked on the very first post.
[Android Apps and Games] poran123:
I downloaded the magisk version but i can't flash with magisk manager... I always have to use twrp. And it doesn't even appear in the magisk manager after flashing with twrp.
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
When installed via TWRP, I believe it is then installed directly to the system instead of systemlessly via Magisk, being why it isn't in Magisk. You can install in Magisk via the repo (downloads on the sidebar or using the plus icon at the bottom of the Modules page)

If you prefer to use TWRP, you need to modify settings.sh or include magisk.plz in the folder so you can specify that you want a Magisk install.

Edit: Added a few more words, and a possibly helpful piece of information.

New back button action

On the latest update, the back button minimizes the video instead of going back to the previous one. It's especially annoying when I stumble upon an age restricted video, in which case the previous and next button doesn't show up. Would it be possible to make it a toggle similar to the action bar style and dynamic player?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Pretty sure Google made that change. Might have to bring it up with them.
[Android Apps and Games] Brds7t7:
Same thing happens on mine. If I select the old style minimised screen then press home the app crashes over and over.

If I select the new style minimised playback then the app doesn't seem to crash.

Edit: it just happened again even on the new style minimised screen so it isn't just down to selecting the old style screen.

How would I go about uninstalling this if I choose to do so? I haven't seen any uninstall instructions and I don't have the option to uninstall from the main applications page. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
If you installed via Magisk just remove the module. If you installed via TWRP, download the uninstall file (see screenshot), put it in the Download folder along with the installer and flash the installer again. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] aliantonio:
That worked perfectly, thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] sbcontt:
I am glad to see that the work started by YTBP Xposed module is still ongoing. Thank you for all your efforts.

However, I can't find any way to configure or disable the in-built ad block in Vanced.

YTBP never touched ads. It left the job of ad-blocking to another Xposed module. Is this flexibility missing in Vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Vanced is background play and adblock in one. Ads always blocked. Also has many other goodies in Vanced settings.

This isn't an Xposed module, or a YT add-on. It's a fully self contained all in one app. Meaning, it doesn't compliment YT, it replaces it completely.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Nope! YouTube Vanced has nothing to do with YTBP Xposed Module or YT Adaway module i.e different patch, different logic.

There is no point in comparing this with any xposed modules.
[Android Apps and Games] joybiswas389:

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
would it be possible to fix youtube's really odd handling of links?

it's been bothering me for quite some time, but Google is showing no signs of fixing it themselves..

for some reason the app just can't open links in some browsers, it just acts like the browser doesn't exist(even if it's the default browser, which would normally make apps think that no browsers other than that one exist)

2 browsers that are affected by this are opera mini and atlas, YouTube simply refuses to acknowledge their existence.
[Android Apps and Games] vincent77600:
Anyone else having ads in the home screen of YouTube. I tried reinstalling several times with differents versions but still I have the same ads on front page.
[Android Apps and Games] Bobthahog:
Yeah I have 1 single ad when opening app. Sometimes it goes away. But I never have any ads while watching. Just that 1 single ad. I'm on Galaxy S9+.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's your device or region. Very few devices/regions are affected. The main purpose is to remove the unskippable ads before videos, and ones you can skip eventually. The one that sneaks in on your home page is Google's doing. Devs can't reproduce it, so they can't change it.
[Android Apps and Games] J_M_V_S:
Yeah, I see it too but doesn't bother me.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/fWvWgqGWUvJkpnsv6
[Android Apps and Games] sbcontt:
That is pretty bad news. The modular approach of the Xposed version was the right direction to go. I wish I could permanently switch to Vanced, but this is not content creator friendly at all.

I guess what I can do is to use the microG version of Vanced for background playback and offline stuff in parallel with official YouTube app. But that is easier said than done. I will most likely have to go back to YTBP.

Hi guys! Just wanted to ask if there is any kind of settings tweak to be done to get PiP working on my Redmi Note 5(Vince) running MIUI 10 global beta 8.7.12? When I press home button it just doesn't come up only background playback works. BTW I've read enabled every kind of PiP setting.

Any help appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Maybe try hearing aid or external speakers to increase the volume if needed?

I have hearing loss at certain freq, so used other FX apps that can help me tweak the sound to my ears.

Increasing db on it's own would probably rattle your speakers/headsets.

Not being sarcastic here, just trying to figure out why you have a need/desire to have a 200% increase.

Cheers!

Hi

So Ive been installing the app to the YouTube folder in system/app. But I've just seen the that the root version installation method now consists to flash a installation zip or an apk . The only problem is we can't flash a apk file, only zip and I can't download any zip on mediafire. The old method to install YouTube works fine but I'm just curious what this is about.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
I read something about PiP not working well in the YouTube app (and consequently Vanced) in MIUI, but I believe people have found fixes/workarounds for that. If you Google "pip miui" or "pip xiaomi" you may find what you're looking for.

So right now I have corrupted package problem with any youtube app outside the store, magisk repository doesnt show up on my list after installation (most recent manager and magisk itself), your recent recovery installer does "nothing".

[Android Apps and Games] AndroBuddy007:
Might be the only way out:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Use the Google link in op. Download the app, and installer zip. Have both in download folder in internal storage. Flash the zip. It finds the APK and installs it. Or you can still just place it in system/app/YouTube folder and set permissions if you want.
