[Android Apps and Games] 3ndorp4in:
Installing YouTube Vanced via ytva-universal-installer-v3.0

I have a few questions because instructions in OP are not entirely clear to me.

I added

apk to ytva-universal-installer-v3.0 zip file, then copied it to root directory, rebooted phone (xiaomi poco f1) and flashed this zip file via TWRP. Nothing happened or actually there was something like a message that updating sth (I have no screenshots) but after restarting to system app wasn't installed.

1) Should I mount system partion in TWRP ?

2) What application should I use to compress (add) this app to universal installer zip file ? I have used zip module from Total Commander and then WinRar 5.0 and 7-zip and then flashed it via TWRP with notification that zip file is (or structure) is invalid. In properties, tab - archive there is sth like version to extract 2.0, host OS - Unix. When I tried to use Zip, Winrar and 7-Zip after compression the message in properties was: Host OS - DOS.

Is that a reason for this file to be not accepted by TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] xoose:
Did you uninstall all YouTube Play Store updates before doing all this?
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
8.0 here. Installed, everything is up and running. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bmwbasti:
You don't have to put the apk inside of the zip, you only have to put them together into /sdcard/downloads.

At least that is my interpretation and that's the way it work for me several times now...

But I got a question either and hope for an answer.

Could somebody please explain how I get the detaching working?

I'm using the root version and flash it in TWRP.

So I put the installer zip, the apk and the detach.plz into /sdcard/downloads.

The flash works, something about the detach file is written in TWRP but after booting up the device youtube is still attached to the Google Play.

And yes, I totally removed the stock YouTube app before flashing Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
you can't detach using the script it's very unpredictable and may even break your auto updates entirely depending on device/firmware.

if you have xposed you can use the sudohide module. That's probably the only 100% confirmed way of detaching
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Everything working here. But where is the refresh and restart button?
[Android Apps and Games] bmwbasti:
Thx for your answer!

Hmm, ok, didn't know that.

In my case it wouldn't be that bad because I don't use auto update anyway.

I look like every few days if there are updates in Google Play and simply hit the "update all" button but this won't work by now anymore because of the pending YouTube update ?

And I don't use xposed either ?
[Android Apps and Games] Vordx:
This place would be better if people started to listen instead of always talking.

some people have refresh issues and it doesn't mean they are imagining things , lying or broke something by xposed , root or something.

Just because you don't have the issue doesn't mean others having it are worthless.

I had the issue since I installed the update but never reported it because it doesn't bother me but now people using the "logs" as an excuse are weird.

How can you take a log of something that doesn't want to work anyways? Like scrolling down to refresh in home page? It's will be taken as normal scroll and won't show much in logs.

Anyways , i took logs of the issue (which I doubt will help or show anything) because some people didn't and to put that excuse aside.

Also I have that issue with the "back" button in the video not working. Ex: playing a video and then "accidentally" playing another video now the back button doesn't work anymore for the last 2 patches. (Not sure it's intended by YouTube or Vanced team) .

Nice work a usual.

Note 8 n950F , Oreo 8.0 October security patch , using 13.43.50 version on YouTube Vanced.

Edit : apparently it's YouTube fault so nothing to report here about that issue. Hold the pitchfork and let's run to Google.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I think the back button not going to the previous video is something that's in stock YouTube as well. Not 100% sure on that but I do remember someone saying it.
[Android Apps and Games] Rpkxnoscope:
First off great looking app it is everything I could want for youtube, its sad though that the dev of this is just another non-human robot that cant explain instructions for normal humans to understand, also in the magiks installer page there is no downloads at all and in the Root download page the links are not links but highlighted characters that I have to lcick 5+ times and then it only downloads after I refresh the page, like how can these developers make such an intricate product but then not be able to make a simple download link and then cant explain necessary information like what arcitecture you need and such such simple things, its sad and annoying how everything is always implied and that these are the people that develop these things, like I said they are robots and not human because if they were the simplest things wouldnt be such a huge issue every time, and btw can someone help me get this to work when i flash the universalinstaller with apk inserted inside it gives me error 1, and the magisk instructions say to download the magiks download but the page has no downloads, but im probably the idiot right, so can someone help this idiot to get this to work thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Piemo:
Q: I'm on a Pie ROM with minimal GApps (so YouTube is an user app). I've uninstalled everything YouTube related before installing the Vanced one from Magisk but is still asking for update into the Play Store. Is it something normal?
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Yes, because the detach thing doesn't work in most phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Piemo:
Great, so I'll be stuck with the need to stop the YT update everytime I go for the "update all" or actually exists a way to patch it manually?

I've read something about a enable-detach file, but haven't understood where to place it exactly :(
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
your options are to disable automatic updates for YouTube in the play store(it'll ask whether to include YouTube whenever you hit "update all"), use sudohide to hide youtube's existence from the play store, or use the non-root version(uses a different package name, so some apps can't find it)
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
Uh that's just non root version... Literally go on our site and install the two apks...
[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
Hello, I have magisk version of this app and sudohide module, Unfortunately I am not able detach YouTube app from the GooglePlay. I tried set some strings on sudohide app (mark hide GooglePlay, Google Play Services or both of them for YouTube app) but everytime after rebooting of my device I am getting two results:

1) I am logged on the YouTube app and update for YouTube app is pending on the GooglePlay. So no change.

2) Update for YouTube app is not available anymore, but I am not logged in to my account and I am not able use and log into to my account (it says this account already exist on my phone).

Please, Can anyone help me and give me an advice what exactly I should set on sudohide app?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
you're hiding the play store and play services from YouTube?

if that's so, you're probably doing things backwards.

Google play services are required for YouTube, as that's what handles logging into your account.

and you should try hiding YouTube from the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
Installing for me wasn't hard at all but ok...

if you're rooted best way is to go to magisk app click on 3 lines on top left and go to download then search yt vanced and install it (reboot).

for classic root you download last file which is universal-installer.zip and flash it and for non root you install latest microg and latest app.

hope this helped :)

[MENTION=1761297]thedicemaster[/MENTION]

Thank you for a response. Yes, before I tried hide GooglePlay store from YouTube. So now, I tried hide YouTube app from GooglePlay, but seems it does not work for me as well, because update for YouTube is available on Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
I don't understand why is this a problem for you... Just don't auto-update and don't use update all. You won't even notice it. Sry for not having real solution. :/
[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
It's not a big deal, but it's kinda annoying though, so in case if I have a chance get rid of it, I am trying fix it. Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] SohamD:
Using root installer. Happens to me as well sometimes when I update magisk modules.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

Go to the Magisk repo. There's a module named "Detach" which can detach any app. Read the instructions and try it. It works great for me.
[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
Seems it's working, thank you! I just hope it will be persist solution, not like detach via Titanium Backup.

Thanks again and happy weekend everyone. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I believe the only permanent solution to hide/detach apps from the Play Store is the SudoHide Xposed mod. It works 109% flawlessly for any app. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
Guys, the option to change the maximum buffer value is working for you in the latest version? Here I put the value at 600000 (10 minutes) but it is still running as the default, 122 seconds
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
well if you read few posts backwards, she said that she sudohide didn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yes, I've read all posts. Problems with SudoHide are usually user error. I also had problems getting it to work initially until I figured out what I was doing wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Tried that. Does not work all the time. It has same principle as previous detach by hinxnz that was already not working. Sudohide us really the only option that works.
[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
[MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION]

So can you please post some screenshots how to set Sudohide app for detach YouTube from GooglePlay or write more detailed instructions for me? I will really appreciate it. Sudohide app looks simple, but I was not successful until now.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Follow these steps:

1. Open SudoHide

2. Search for "YouTube"

3. Select YouTube

4. On the next screen (Hides From), search for "Google Play Store" (typing just Play Store won't work)

5. Select Google Play Store

6. Back out of SudoHide until it closes

7. Reopen SudoHide and search for YouTube

8. YouTube should now be in RED, if not, repeat steps 3-6. (Sometimes it takes a few steps to stick.)

9. Reboot device and YouTube should no longer appear in available Play Store updates.
[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
Yeah, so finally it's working well! I am not sure what I did wrong before but I am really glad coz it's working now. Thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I'm glad you got it working. Exciting times! :D

[Android Apps and Games] lordxentris:
Hi, on the latest version, I can't refresh the main page. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
This is not tested but you could try this, you could put browser link shortcut on home screen which would be yt link ofc and then you set yt app to open yt link by default, so when you press that link you should open your video.

Also you could get some kind of icon replacement for the link.

Just an idea.

If this doesn't work you should be able to do it with tasker which is little bit more complicated.

I was really looking forward to use this module. It actually is on of the 2 reasons I bought and rooted my OnePlus 6T BUT I can't get it to work. I read through this thread but I cannot find a solution.

I used the Magisk Module "Debloater" to uninstall the system app YouTube. After reboot the updated app was available but I could just uninstall it. And rebooted again. Youtube was gone, so I thought So far so good. Just need the install the module. I went into Magisk Manager and installed the module. But no matter what I do there is nog Youtube Vanced. No Youtube at all. Can somebody please help me?
[Android Apps and Games] SohamD:
Same happens to me. Uninstall the magisk module. Try the root version by the universal installer method. Worked for me.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

Yup. Detach module worked initially but now doesn't :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
If you're not already, try using Magisk's latest 17.3 beta. Debloaters are useful but not always ideal with these mods. I'd delve into MiXplorer and check if no YouTube folders remain in both system/app and system/priv-app. If that's all good, reboot and try the method explained on the first page or even go for a manual install if that fails.
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
or you could use non-root, same thing and no bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Using the magisk debloater is your problem. Vanced has the same package name so you're debloating it. You don't have to debloat anything the module does all that for you. Remove YouTube from the debloater and you will be fine. nowhere in the instructions does it say to try to remove or debloat YouTube first. the only thing it says is that if it doesn't show up remove updates to YouTube, that's it.

All of the other answers that have been given to you are garbage. It's the magisk debloater that is causing your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] J_Force:
Thanks for your reply. I thought that the debloater was the way to uninstall the YouTube app and I needed to that. Was I not supposed to do that?

Used Debloat to reinstall YouTube app and install Magisk Vanced module. And I got it now. I see the icon at least. Do I need to detach now? To have no updates from the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] slimshouki:
If anyone can help me and upload YouTube system folder stock app including lib, arm and apk to restore stock app since vanced removed my stock youtube and I cannot revert it back because I want to update vanced through magisk only later on and not by twrp

I have Xiaomi poco f1 stock global miui10 based on Oreo
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
The debloater doesn't actually remove it is the problem. Remember that magic is systemless so it doesn't actually modify the system. It replaces stock YouTube with an empty file inside of magisk. so it was essentially replacing vanced with the empty file so that it would not appear since it has the exact same package name. You can use detach if you want to because it will show up eventually. but you can always just disable the update for YouTube alone in the Play Store. Open the YouTube listing in the Play Store tap the three dot Icon in the upper-right corner and uncheck auto update. If you want to use detach open the magisk listing for vanced and read the read me file it will give you instructions. You just create an empty file it will tell you how to name it.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You don't need stock YouTube. You can install vanced (any version) with no need for stock YouTube. If you installed it with TWRP, universal installer zip, magisk version, just remove it from magisk in magisk manager. Reboot. Then install the one in download section of magisk. Or however you want. You don't need stock YouTube at any point.
[Android Apps and Games] slimshouki:
Dear madbat,

I know well what you are saying but the problem is whenever I need to update vanced I have to flash new zip from twrp which is not quiet convenient for me. I prefer to Update magisk module systemless Rather than flashing twrp every Update so that's why I need stock youtube. Please correct me if I am wrong
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
you don't need stock YouTube for that.

uninstall the root version completely, and you can use the magisk version.

you might even be able to install the magisk version over the root version.
[Android Apps and Games] slimshouki:
I didn't think that it was simple like that

I removed Root one using script then installed magisk module and viola.

Thank you for your efforts and support

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Dude you can stop posting that video. those are the exact same instructions that are on the Vanced website for the non root version. some people want the root version some people want the magisk version. the non root version that you keep trying to post videos about has some downsides that some people don't want to deal with. but either way the instructions are on the website it's as simple as installing 2 apks, we all know this. You didn't just make some massive discovery. All you had to do was rtfm.

You don't have to modify any zip files. you just put the zip and the APK in your download folder of your internal storage and Flash it. Done. It takes less than 2 minutes.

for the people that want the non root version they know where to find it and how to use it. No need to keep spamming the thread.
