Hi guys. I have the non-root version. I have 2 issues:

1) How do I hide the ad circled in red in the screen shot below?

2) Resolution always reverts back to 360 and I want it at 480 always. How do I set up a custom default resolution?
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Thanks man, I'll check it out and hopefully test out when I get a chance... not sure when that'll be, lol. Haven't even been on XDA in weeks. Not only because of non-stop working on fixing up the house (first house!) we just bought, but also my daily driver Pixel 4 XL has been sent to Google for repair a few weeks ago, and they essentially lost it as far as I'm concerned. According to repair status, repair was completed over a week ago, but the tracking number they gave me still says FedEx hasn't received anything yet. I've called them multiple times but no one ever gets back to me and they have no clue where my phone is. Don't really have time to deal with it more than I have already been with everything else going on at home. Ugh. Maybe if it goes long enough I can tell them to just send me a Pixel 6 Pro. I doubt it but I can hope and dream... lol. I mean, the 4 series was discontinued for some time now, the 5 / 5a is a downgrade compared to the 4, and the 6 series comes out soon. Argh, it's just so frustrating. And I'm not ready to lose squeeze functionality either. =(

Hi, i have a question.

Why the official YouTube app interface is working at 60hz and YouTube Vanced interface is working at 120hz?.

Is the official app blocked at 60hz internally?.

Can i do something to fix the official app to make it work at 120hz?

Thanks.

To make one thing clear, I'm not asking for ETA or something like that.

I'm just interested if casting on Chromecast will be available for the non rooted version at all. The changelog for YouTube vanced 16.29.39 still says that it is due Micro G which has to be patched upstream first. So ist it up to Micro G to fix it? There were some updates but the issue is still existing.

I'm on version 15.33.34, as far as I know the last build that supports Chromecast streaming.

Anything one can do (except using stock YT)?

Thanks for this awesome app anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Use rooted
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Nice answer. I was talking about the non root version. If I want to root that device as most others I own I wouldn't have asked.

I have reasons to not root it at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
I am not that familiar with microG.

Has anyone tried casting using microG and stock YouTube or Vanced root YouTube?

(Custom rom | regular (not vanced version) mircoG | stock YouTube.)

(Custom rom | regular (not vanced version) mircoG | Vanced YouTube [root version].)​

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Neither Stock YouTube or root YouTube need or will work with Vanced MicroG as they use Google play services and casting works fine with both.

Vanced MicroG is just a workaround for non-root Vanced and needs updating for casting to work.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I dont use & Never used Vanced MicroG or the Non-Root vanced OR casting. So my question is simply theoretical based on very vague memories of what has been posted here before.

Doesn't casting bypass vanced and actually use the youtube player on the device that is being cast to?
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
That is why I am asking if casting from stock YouTube or Vanced YouTube root works when using the full microG core (not the vanced version of microG) on a custom rom instead of OpenGApps or another GApps package.

I am not even sure if stock YouTube works at all with microG core. 🙃

Cheers. :cowboy:

PS.

I mainly use Vanced root YT and YTM but, I also have the non-root version installed on a few devices. ;)

1) Which ad? Not seeing any screenshot (forgot the attachment? classic). I see the same post twice though. Play around with Vanced settings > Ad settings.

2) Vanced settings > Video settings > Preferred video quality Wi-Fi/Cellular
[Android Apps and Games] Deanro:
Hi Timmmmaaahh!,

See the attached screen shot. The ad is circled in red.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Looks like a home ad. Mind that the setting 'Home ads (Experimental)' should be turned off for it to hide ads, unlike all other Ad settings.

I used Vanced YT music with android auto in my car and in order to make it visible in AA in my car, i had to enable developer mode in phone AA app and unknown sources. Now, i have changed to new Google assistant and returning back to AA is not working since installation doesn't make it available any more. Now there is no similar way in assistant.

Anyone found a way?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Regarding the root Vanced and deattachment of YouTube from Google Play (to prevent auto-updating)

It works seamlessly with:

Magisk module Riru

+

Magisk module Riru-LSPosed

+

LSPosed module Hide My Applist

Somewhat heavy artillery but if you already use Riru and specially LSPosed, it's an easy step to additionally install and configure Hide My Applist

Deattaching works 'forever' (surviving reboots and times passing) but the advantage is that you can easily deattach/reattach:

Just toggle deattachment config (named Hide there) in Hide My Applist and reboot, and YT will be back visible in Playstore.

No tricks needed to reattach the apps if/when you wish
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Is Vanced still in active development? I keep getting spammed with notifications that wont stay cleared. I assume that's more of a microg bug???
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Why would you even ask that? Last major update was just 2 weeks ago. You didn't even clarify which type of notifications. Some respect for this amazing project would be appropriate.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Excellent tip! Thanks. This gave me the idea to try achieving the same with SudoHide for LSPosed (which I was already using) but that didn't seem to work, even after Play Store data reset. Now tried with Hide My Applist (+ another PS data reset + reboot) but PS still "sees" YouTube and suggests updating it. Does anything else need to be set besides "Enable hide" within HMA? Perhaps it just needs more time to "settle".
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Hide My Apps:

1)

- Manage Templates

- Create Blacklist templates

- Edit list of Invisible apps

- add YouTube and more apps if you want to detach

- Give the name to the template, like Playstore

- don't forget to Save

2)

- Select Effective apps

- Show system apps

- select Google Play Store

- tick Enable Hide

- Work mode = Blacklist (by default)

- tick Enable all hide methods

- Choose template: Playstore, from (1)

- again, don't forget to Save

Reboot

But be aware that with the newest Magisk Canary as of yesterday, Riru does no more work (if Zygisk is enabled, where Zygisk is neccessary for DenyList and SafetyNet)

Therefore, there is a new Zygisk-LSPosed Magisk module (LSPosed bypassing Riru and using Zygisk). In that case Riru and Riru-LSPosed must be uninstalled, new Zygisk-LSPosed installed in Magisk, enabled, rebooted, and all LSPosed modules reconfigured again
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hot dang! Worked instantly! This might even be a more elegant solution compared to TeMeFi (sorry, oh great and amazing TeMeFi dev 🙏). Well, for LSPosed users at least.

I aptly named the template "zgfg's kickass template", naturally 😄

Now both YouTube and YT Music just have an 'install' button in the Play Store but they did still seem to appear in 'My apps & games'. Probably a sync issue (@DiamondJohn explained this nicely in his grand TeMeFi thread which everyone should worship ^_^) as clearing Play Store's data again fixed it. Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
For me YT is also on "Install" - screenshot "1".

And of course, it doesn't appear on the Pending updates list - screenshot "2"

It also doesn't appear in the list of Installed apps, sorted by Names - screenshot "3"

Btw, I use another Blacklist template to hide Magisk app.

In the past, in some cases I had problems with PlayProtect when installing.

Now, I assigned that template also to Google Play Store (you can have several templates and assign more than one to an 'effective app') and Play Protect does no more see it although it was installed/updated recently (new Canary, yesterday) - screenshot "4"

Of course, I can apply that second template hiding the Magisk app also to banking apps and so, without the need to use "Hide Magisk app" from inside the Magisk app Settings
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
No need to be cautious, I wont be offended. I haven't been able to personally run Xposed (and hence sudohide, or the modules just didnt work for me) for a few years now, and hence I built my detach, for me, as all the others would eventually fail. And to be clear, the detach in TeMeFI works because it basically "breaks" the PlayStores ability to update YouTube, by making the playstore trip over itself, and fall face down, painfully as a last resort, if it doesn't take the first hint.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
zgfg I looked at your screen shots. I notice that appears YouTube is not installed. Out of interest, does that also cross over to your launchers app draw? and a shell listing of available apps? It would also be interesting if it appears in TeMeFI as available to be detatched. TeMeFRI interogates the PlayStore database.

I also note you have Waze installed. Have you modified that to block ads as well? Since clearing its ads it has been sooooo much better to use for me.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
It has nothing to do with launcher(s). Please check my post with the coockbok how to configure in Hidy My Applist

You define a template (an app or list of apps you want to hide)

Then you apply that template only to particular apps

So I have a template to hide YouTube but it is applied only to Google Play Store, not to the launcher

Hence Playstore thinks that YT is not installed but launcher knows it is installed

Or another example. I have a template to hide Magisk app

And I apply that template to Google Play Store (to avoid Play Protect checking Magisk app), to my banking app (just in case, didn't complain so far about Magisk app) and to Root Beer Fresh (to avoid detecting root management apps)

You can define many templates. Each template may 'hide' one or more apps

You apply a particular template only to selected apps (only those apps will not see the apps listed in the template). You can apply one or more templates to an app (you want that app to be blind on several lists of apps)

Full granularity

I have Waze installed but never used it practically. On the toDo/wish list
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
as I do not use sudo hide, that was the question. I was checking if it was a case of selecting which apps it was hidden from.

OT: Waze is brilliant for driving to avoid traffic, but the ads by default are annoying. As soon as you pull up at traffic lights, an ad pops up for a nearby fuel sales location covering the map. While that is the perfect/safe opportunity to see what turns are ahead on the screen. :mad: But luckily not too hard to disengage.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
I do not use Sudo Hide either and I did not say a word about Sudo Hide

It was all about the LSPosed Module named Hide My Applist
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
My bad, I simply assumed there was only one exposed module called sudo hide. As I do not use xposed or similar, i do not follow the details.

Although both are up to date with the current version, when I click to the 'Community' tab of a channel, everything is fine on my phone, but the tablet says "Community posts are on the way. Sorry, Community posts are only available on your computer and the latest version of the YouTube app on mobile phones right now."

Is there a working method in 2021 to prevent the constant uninstallation of vanced after an Android restart?

Since June until today I had 16.16.38 and somehow managed to (unfortunately forgot how. I think I did it via (LP+SAI) - but Vanced no longer offers apk for rooted Android ... oh yeah) that Vanced after the restart is not uninstalled. Today I thought I would update to 16.29.39, because I mistakenly believed that Vanced would finally have fixed this problem. Well, what can I say... Vanced is now uninstalled after every restart. Goddamn it, I'm going to have to grapple with this annoying ''feature'' again.

[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Either you didn't property configure or there is something specific/wrong with your ROM

Yes, it's the end of 2021, but there are a lot of us who have no problems, with various phones and Android versions (e.g., on my side with A11)
[Android Apps and Games] ephemunch:
thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I am guessing you are running the root version? and when you say "uninstall" you mean that Google YouTube is replacing vanced?

If so, there are multiple ways covered multiple times in this thread how to detach youtube from the playstore. If my assumptions above are correct, the problem is not with Vanced but with the PlayStore.

Hey , got problems with installing Vanced Music . All the time is telling me to downgrade Youtube Music , already removed via adb:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 ( name of the app package)

the app is removed from my phone and still can't install it. Any suggestions ?

Got newest app manager downloaded . The Youtube vanced working with no problem.

the ROM is latest from https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-10-0-official-monthly-crdroid-v6-18-vince-29-05-2021.4002087/ for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Plus
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Pm uninstall will not help - it does not uninstall, package still remains on device.

And when you try to install older version it will find that newer 'uninstalled package' (since it was not really uninstalled) and downgrading will fail

If user-installed, you must fully uninstall the app (through Settings/Apps)

If system ('stock') app in the ROM, go again to Settings/Apps - you will not be allowed to Uninstall but try to Uninstall Updates (hoping that 'stock' version is older)

If not working ('stock' version too new) you will have to properly debloat (but not through pm commands):

- by removing its installation folder in /system, /vendor, /product through TWRP

- alternatively (instead of through TWRP), Systemlessly through Magisk module(s)
[Android Apps and Games] proxydark:
Ok so I got now only the last way to remove because version is too new without any updates / not able to uninstall
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:

Is it possible on devices with high screen density (800+ dp) to get the "Shorts" tab instead of the "Navigator"? Sorry for my bad english.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Boy, a ROM ZIp file with packages. Thats a blast from the past!

Most ROMs I have seen of late use a single image file, with all the packages within the image file, and the install zip would do a checksum that it hasnt been modified; but the check can be removed on custom ROM install zips.

If you have a ROM zip to install with individual packages, I would hazard a guess that its also a R/W system [partition; so0 could be deleted after install. Of course there may be unique exceptions.

Usually when I check if the app has been updated, its within the playstore that an "Uninstall Updates" is available.
[Android Apps and Games] doggydog2:
thanks a lot, it took me hours to figure it out. No idea where is SytemDebloaterList from, so i did it this way:

1. install Debloater from Magisk

3. run debloat

4. choose [4 - System Product Apps]

5. choose [? - YouTube]

6. reboot

7. install Vanced YouTube

I had the issue where vanced stops working after a reboot. Fixed it by editing vanced.sh to set sleep to 5 instead of one. OnePlus 7t pro, stock with magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] d4m4s74:
I had the same issue. Fixed it by editing vanced.sh to change sleep 1 to sleep 5. (So in a root terminal

sed -i 's/sleep 1/sleep 5/g' /data/adb/service.d/vanced.sh

)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Good point (but heavy artillery).

One could just use a root exolorer like MiXplorer, go to the file:

/data/adb/service.d/vanced.sh

Open it (text editor, MixPlorer includes the text editor) and change the sleep 1 to sleep 5 (it's a simple script, few lines, not hard to find and replace)
[Android Apps and Games] d4m4s74:
I didn't have an explorer with text editor but I did have a terminal, so I defaulted to sed. I'll check out mixplorer
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
You have much more in - zipping/unzipping, PDF and picture viewers, support for cloud storages, even Samba to PC, somple SQL viewer and editor, etc (however it still cannot make you a cup of coffee or tee) - search for MiXplorer thread on XDA

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have not tried it with vanced, but I have used the following to default the opening of other apps in their specific window. My launcher allows running a script triggered by an app icon.

For the first example you need to find the activity name of which you want the app to start in. I use a very old app called AppXplore from the playstore to get this.

am start -n com.app.name/com.app.name.activityname;

I havent used the following personally, but it may also be an avenue, using an intent as well:

am start -a com.app.INTENT_ACTION_NAME -n com.app.name/com.app.name.activityname;
[Android Apps and Games] doggydog2:

"The YouTube Vanced team has created a new, easier method for getting Vanced up and running."

Yes. about that: the vanced manager totally fails on TV sticks, it requires touch input. - can't handle a remote. Also, its completely useless on an "Family Link" device... (can't install anything) so...

where are the essential .apk's that the "manager" should have installed?
