I confirm this behaviour. Realized this was happening when I had a look at my /data/app/ folder and saw there were more than 1 folders for com.google.android.youtube. Only 1 of them had the full set of APKs (along with the lib and oat folders) while the others just had a base.apk present in it. I couldn't manually remove them using a root file explorer while being booted, so removed them via TWRP's file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
Yes, I did & am aware of that app, but I really don't like that app interface so don't really use (& wanna use) that app, I like vanced hence put my suggestion here for the devs to make another version of vanced for Android TV

roger that. at least i provide log on latest version 15.40.37. the last log user provided was on older 15.33.34 hope it helps dev to fix the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ephemunch:
I need 15.33.34 but Vanced Manager only offers the latest version.

Is this apk legit? https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/team-vanced/youtube-vanced/youtube-vanced-15-33-34-release/

I don't want to run a malicious apk, but Vanced doesn't offer the possibility to go back to older versions either via their Vanced manager or their homepage.
[Android Apps and Games] Lossyx:
Anyone have an idea where to get older versions with Black Theme? Latest Vanced broke lots of layout settings unfortunately, so I want to revert back.

The ones of APK mirror only seems to be dark version.

So tried downgrading to 15.33.34 through apkmirrors apk.

If I start 15.33.34 it crashes 2sec laters.

Then after all these years with Vanced I have to go back to the original Youtube.

Reason for unsuccessful downgrading attempt: After every restart Vanced (newest root-version 15.40.37) will be removed automatically. Even if I detach it with method 3 through Temefi.

Ah ok, that's why it crashes. But nowhere to get root-version.

Why is it so difficult to get apks of previous root versions? And without getting into some kind of directory jungle like here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled

Edit: Downgraded to 15.05.54 root-version with help of SAI App, checked detach method 3 with Temefi and after restart Vanced is still there. So Youtube-Vanced 15.05.54 + Temefi is without problem. Next time I will wait few months till I update something.

[MENTION=8983809]Team Vanced[/MENTION] on latest 15.40.37, root version, the app force closes when ever I enable the "remind me when it's bed time" option.

It keeps crashing till app's data is cleared.

I'm on OnePlus 6t on OOS 10.3.5 with xXX NoLimits.

I grabbed a logcat I hope can help solve the problem. Let me know if I can do anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
hey man how you do?

you have so many errors in your log it's ridiculous my suggestion uninstall that xxx thing and use a real custom rom

regarding youtube the error you getting is:

Google Play services out of date for com.google.android.youtube. Requires 204090000 but found 203615037

which means you need to update your play services use this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-39-15-120408-335085812-android-apk-download/

tell us if it helped good luck
[Android Apps and Games] BrahmaGandhi:
which magisk version

in my case on latest .40.37. ROOT

using canary it works fine all the time (except for known stories and cast button issues) and survived after reboots. if you encounter issue of app doesn't survived after reboot, you can try some method below.

-magisk stable/beta.. try to cleaning up /data/adb/ from any vanced regarding files also make sure to clean up older files inside /data/app and /data/data from any youtube regarding files (usually com.google.android.youtube~) and then make a fresh install via vanced manager. it should work and/or survived from reboots.

-optional: if it still not survived after reboot try to activated "disable apk signature verification thing" before installing, *even though vanced manager can now handle it..but in magisk beta/stable it doesn't survived from reboot if its not activated all the time. to disable it, the method the same like was on older vanced version .05.54.

*im using magisk beta now and latest -vanced root-works fine as expected..before that using canary was working also.
[Android Apps and Games] spiou:
Thank you for this long response ;)

Actually, I do not have any regular youtube installed on my device. I'am running the 14.21.54 (last magisk version compatible), so before installing the new version, I obviously uninstalled the magisk module and rebooted. Then no more youtube in my launcher, and no directory in /data/app.

Obviously, there is something wrong with the script because, before rebooting, Magisk is fully working and without modifying vanced.sh, it disappears, but if I reinstall, then add the sleep command and then reboot, youtube is still there, but without vanced options !

I will try the tips you give me about the modification of vanced.sh, but when I will have enough time...
[Android Apps and Games] dr4go:
To be honest: I am a great fan of Youtube Vanced. Imho it is the best app mod out there and I really believe, that using my smartphone would not be the same without this amazing app.

That said I like to keep my apps up to date... I weren't happy when the Magisk option was dropped in favor of SAI and find the Vanced Manager a great addition... at least up to v1.2.

But the new installation method of v1.3[.1] quite sucks imho:

a) it's by far not reliable (I came here yesterday, because my YouTube app was missing, then realized: oh, a new bug... and then digged further [a couple of hours!] why it behaves like that...) - and it's not reliable, because every phone is different... some have YouTube as system app, some don't... just to name one example.

b) I find the new method buggy in the sense, that I find the idea completely wrong: let me explain... You have / need a couple of apks, but then mount / bind just one of those apks (the "base.apk") on every reboot? Why would / should anybody do that UNLESS you want to overlay a system app? In every other case it would be much wiser to simply do a cp to the selected path... and even then... why would you even do the latter? A special note: I realized that most apks (except the base.apk) were missing one / a couple of reboots later.

c) when I tried the fixes mentioned here... the first one... wait until it booted before mount binding it... didn't work... second one... sleep 30... didn't work either... but that really helped to gain a better understanding, because I realized, that the actually does work the first 29 seconds on my Samsung Galaxy S10 (Exynos, Android 10)... then my fix was quite easy as you might already estimating... as well as this caused another issue to let YouTube Vanced somehow be replaced by the stock YouTube (~16mb, Vanced has 20...something megabytes), so a fail in my case as well.

d) I finally decided to start clean, and both mentioned fixes here at least helped the Vanced Manager to recognize the app (although in the app drawer, it's only called com.google.youtube....something... probably a permission problem?) to uninstall it. Yes, the uninstallation process is broken as well... it removes the app settings+the app in the drawer, but leaves the Vanced folder, the Vanced.sh script and the bound apk in the YouTube folder there. Somehow umount doesn't work... when executed in a shell, but oh well: deleted /data/adb/Vanced+Vanced.sh script, rebooted and deleted every YouTube folder afterwards in /data/{app|data|user|user_de}.

e) installed YouTube Vanced via Manager, obviously the app was installed and in the drawer and working, then chmod 600 on the Vanced.sh script, rebooted and bingo... so basically without the mount / bind craziness everything works here...
[Android Apps and Games] pr0xZen:
I don't usually do this, but I'll give it a go and humbly request a feature addition. A toggle to *really* force captions / subtitles off. Even disable captions completely if that's what's needed.

For a year or two I've been struggling with trying everything, to stop substitles from defaulting on for various YT channels. I don't know how or why, but somehow some channels are able, intentionally or otherwise, to override the default YouTube settings for captions. Every time I load one of their videos, including one previously seen, I have to manually turn off captions. To comebat this possibly needs an API instruction when loading each video, as it appears the global setting don't work in these cases, neither do geolocation changes, system language changes, nor even using a VPN server in the same region of the channel. I have of course logged out every device and browser multiple times, cleared it all out etc. It has been a known issue for years, the google help thread on this has hundreds of pages of users reporting this issue spanning several years, and not a single reply from google/YT.
[Android Apps and Games] baxtex:
Are the comment section completely gone from Vanced? I just checked out the official youtube app and it now has comments under a button but oin Vanced this button is not there. I have also tried the experiemental option to force comments to the top but it does not seem to do anything.

Ok ok...I need a favour.Can anyone make me a working youtube vanced version 13.37.52 to 15.38.35(change the version number).I have been using that specific version(for exoplayer) but now youtube forced me to update.

Normal apk editing causes no internet issue in youtube app.
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Sorry for my silly question. But do you simply want to update to version 15.38.35 or are you trying to keep the old version but change the version number (if that's even possible)? And if so why?

Thank you for looking into my logcat. Updating Google Play Services to 20.39.15 did solve the problem.

About the other errors, it's not xXx NoLimits. I removed and still get them. I don't want to spam the thread with OT content though, so I'll pm you to ask something if you don't mind.

Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] RevolverRz:
I want to keep the old 13.37.52 version because it is the last version that fully supports exoplayer.
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
That makes sense, if you want to get rid of the in app promt to update utube, for root detaching it from the playstore should work (may need to clear app data from vanced aswell).

Or for non root maybe a newer version of micro g would work. I don't use non root so I'm not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] marcioafoliveira:
I know that someone posted before how to try to make it work but someone in here that has an OnePlus 6 with root has been able to fix the reboot issue?

This was one of my favorite cool features. Honestly video still looks good, swipe issues were fixed but it looks like exo carried over or something. I'm not sure what was removed/changed.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
If the system (rom) has YouTube per-installed, it is normally an older version.

When multiple versions of an app are installed, the newest (update) should be in userdata.

(You should not be able to install an older version if a newer version is found to be installed.)

Factory (per-installed) apps will be in:

/system/app /system/priv-app /product/app /product/priv-app

priv-app will generally take precedence.

On Pixel 3a XL Google stock Android 11.

YouTube 15.18.39 is per-installed in product/app/YouTube

Using a Magisk module, I can place Vanced YouTube 14.21.54 in /system/priv-app/iYTv8a

The Vanced version (14.21.54) is the active version.

Updates are installed to userdata along with user apps installed apps.

/data/app

--

The split apk structure was designed to make the package smaller for download and storage needed.

You only download/install the version you need instead of all.

(Language files, architecture, display.)

Since the current versions of Vanced YouTube use the split apk structure, it is installed as update/user app.

User apps are treated differently than system (product) apps.

As for replacing the regular base.apk file with the vanced version, it will cause issues when the device is (re)booted and user apps are checked.

Normally the app will be removed or disabled.

You can get around it by modifying the security of the file(s) and/or directory(s) but, what works on one device may not work on another.

(Even sister devices and some devices may just not work.)

--

By using the mount command, it does not directly modify the /data/app directory so, it should pass the integrity check.

This seemed to be working just fine on the initial implementation. (Vanced 15.33.34)

It seems to be something in the last two releases that broke it on some devices.

As for the delay (sleep command) suggestion, on some (normally older and/or slower devices) the mount command might run too early.

If ran too early, it will not work so regular YouTube (base.apk) will be active.

With the last two releases, it seems to disable YouTube on some devices, allowing per-installed (system) or previously installed (user) versions to become active.

--

This part confused me. :o

So the initial bind mount after install works and the initial bind mount remains after a reboot ?

- This is a bit confusing, since you said by removing the script and rebooting, you were able to remove the old/F'd up versions left in /data/app and would indicate the mount does not survive after a reboot.

By switching the vanced script to 600, is it still being executed on boot for some reason?

Try moving the script from /data/adb/service.d to /data/adb/Vanced and reboot.

(The script will not run on boot from the Vanced directory.)

Do you still have vanced or is it regular YouTube?

--

Hope I explained more than confused. :)

Cheers. :cowboy:

Factory reset/safe mode enough times to isolate Vance as the issue. In fact, it works perfectly fine until I reboot the phone for any reason... then the boot looping begins.

Found a possible bug with either MicroG or YouTube Music.

I'm been installing and reinstalling various modules and even reflashed my phone and it still was there until i unistalled MicroG and YouTube music.

I've been getting a crackling sound on some games and notifications from my speakers. Even some lag on some games but the sound was terrible.

I've unistalled all my sound mods to see if their was conflicts with them etc but it wasn't.

My root Vanced is working fine but there is definitely some underlying issues with either YouTube music or MicroG

you can use an older version once you have ytv installed while signature verification is off you can use the vanced manager to update ytv to the latest and it'll survive reboots and you can use the latest riru core and edxposed from the magisk repo

instead of the url where its supposed to go to,

doesn't matter if rooted or not because I have a rooted version (Samsung s9+) and a non rooted version (s20 ultra) all installed via vanced manager.

For those looking for an older but working version (at least for me), I use v14.21.54 and MicroG 0.2.6

Been using them for years, simple to install, no root. Works on any phone I have used, and am currently using them on stock 11.0.6 MIUI without issue. Might have to reboot after the MicroG installation and let the Vanced app alone for a few minutes on first run, but it always gets there for me (lost count of the number of ROMs I've used it on)

Anyway, this is the link if it helps anyone. Remember to uninstall YouTube or any updates to it first.

[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
For everyone who, like me, has the problem of Vanced ROOT disappearing after restarting, I made a new Magisk module to make it persist. The base is basically the same as the iytvd-eselter module posted earlier. The modifications I've made are of not shipping the apk in the module and some simple code improvements.

Installation steps:

1. Install Vanced ROOT via Vanced Manager.

2. Install the module via Magisk Manager.

3. In a file manager with superuser permissions, check "/data/app" for more than one "com.google.android.youtube" folder. If there is more than one, restart to TWRP and delete the folder that contains only the file "base.apk".

4. Restart on Android and enjoy :)

Could it have something to do with this thing I saw in the changelog for micro G about fixing duplicate entries of Chromecast?
