Just a friendly reminder for those experiencing crashes or other issues with this app. Please try to include the following in your post:

root or non-root

version number of app (saying latest version doesn't count)

method of installation- magisk, system install, non-root

Logs- especially when experiencing crashes

phone model

OS and Android version

ways to reproduce issue

A lot of the recent "bug reports" have very little useful information. Just saying that something doesn't work is more like complaining and isn't very helpful. As someone that follows this thread almost daily it's really hard to tell what version is affected, is it device specific, OS specific, android version specific, is it just a non-root problem, a magisk problem. I still don't know and I imagine the dev might not either.

No problems or crashes for me using the black theme v14.06.54 root (system) install (I'm not sure I understand the purpose of having this as a magisk module even though I'm rooted with Magisk).

Samsung Note 4, modified stock rom, 6.0.1

For gathering logs I like to use Logcat extreme, but there's plenty of other choices in the play store. For non-root devices you can use adb to gather logs by entering

adb logcat > logcat.txt

While gathering logs try to reproduce the issue that you're having.

Oh, one more reminder. If you're using the root version of this app do not disable the original version if it's already installed to your system. Just uninstall updates with the play store option. Non-root version doesn't matter if you have original youtube app installed/uninstalled or disabled/enabled.

Edited - adb commands updated thanks [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Just one note:

For adb logs, the command is "adb logcat > logcat.txt"

You forgot to write "adb" part of the command (and of course they also need to check whether device is actually connected by typing "adb devices" beforehand too; but I guess you assume they already know it)

:o

P.S. We also said same stuff here for users repeatedly and still only one of them, if I remember correctly, has actually posted a logcat when reporting a bug. The rest of them didn't. I hope your post will change this behavior in this thread

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
Oh, lol good catch I'll edit my post. This thread is kind of frustrating sometimes and I get ahead of myself. You're right though, what I posted is mostly useless since the majority of people that will read it are the people that don't need to.

I try to gather logs that reproducing the step of my issue:

type "adb logcat > logcat.txt" in my computer CMD >> open Youtube vanced >> click one video >> press home button >> the video stop with no sound continued

https://mega.nz/#!0RN1WQQT!dZyscyQO9ve1819nZ05KhUAGLADx0czZ6Xjzo49x0MQ

It is my first time using logcat, not sure if the way I gathering logs was right, sorry for if not helping

Plz help me figuring out what happened to my Youtube Vanced, thanks~~:):)

Maybe I am not the first to ask and then take it as a +1:

Please add feature to choose that the app starts on subscriptions rather than suggestions.

I don't like that Google algorithm tries to direct my watching.

YouTube crash when i try to change resolution. It gets back to normal after clearing data so it must be some new YouTube internel update which is causing fc.

Installed it from magisk latest version running on s7edge
[Android Apps and Games] DanGLES3:
Just set preferred video quality to automatic, setting a different video quality is what's causing the crash when changing resolution
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
There have been a number of people posting that they are experiencing crashes. The first thing I personally do before trying to investigate a crashing app further, is to boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then try again. It has fixed a number of app crashes in my past. I also noted someone re-installed Vanced, which would of forced a dalvik rebuild specifically of vanced i.e. the crashing app (and also cleared any possible corrupted data). When I have gotten more desperate, I have also tried wiping the data of a crashing app, which has resolved the issue, most likely because an update changed the expected data format from what was existing or simply corrupted data. Just a suggestion of what has worked for me in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
The same is happening here. The problem began suddenly. Almost sure it's a YouTube problem, not Vanced, but I'll leave the stack trace of crash anyway

Experiencing issues after I updated to 14.06.54(b01.30.10)

Flashed through Magisk

* App is crashing when I click on the icon

* Sometimes the app opens but closes after 4-5 seconds

- I've cleared the cache.

- Reinstalled the zip.

- Using latest Franko Kernel.

Rom - OnePlus 3 OOS OB35 {Android - 8.0}

Here is the log of the action
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
You can set a shortcut so that it opens on subscriptions, atleast that is what I did.
[Android Apps and Games] EMJI79:
Isn't it possible only in Android Pie?

I am on Android Oreo.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Could you tell me how? Cause I have tried a few weeks ago and I have to say I wasn't able to succeed.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Considering the crashing of changing the resolution. The preferred resolution has been set by setting the resolution with for example, 720p -> 720. Now it has changed a bit and sometimes when opening the list of resolutions it displays it through another method which uses the index instead of the resolution value.

Like, the app receives a list of resolutions:

0 - Auto

1 - 144p

2 - 240p

3 - 360p

4 - 480p

5 - 720p

6 - 1080p

Previously I would set the resolution with the value but now it needs to be set by the index. But since it's still doing it with value, then in the method where it loads the list, it tries to get the value from the above list at the index of 720, which I guess everyone can see isn't there. Now I experimented with it last night and when setting by index, it doesn't crash anymore and the selected resolution in the list looks correct (720p) but it doesn't change the actual resolution anymore. I don't know what's up with that and have exams to read to so don't really have time to debug it more. So will see when it will be fixed.

In the meantime, set the preferred resolution to auto so the original index is returned by default and it shouldn't be crashing.

It's possible even in Nougat. And depending on the launcher, I guess it's possible in even earlier versions.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
For Nougat and above, a single long press on app icon will give this option, then you can use most of the modern launchers to make a shortcut for this end.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You are able to do that with custom launchers too like Nova.

Please post in tasker thread. That is currently off topic here.
[Android Apps and Games] EMJI79:
I have checked with my launcher (buzz launcher) and it isn't possible within it.

Could someone please pm about the Tasker option?

I know nobody would answer me inside the Tasker thread cause it is too specific.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
You can just google it. All you need is a swipe after launching app. I am sure you can search to find that answer in tasker thread too. As I said, it is off topic in this thread.

Or just simply change the launcher to the one that supports it.
[Android Apps and Games] EMJI79:

[Android Apps and Games] Andy_Cool:
Hello Team Vanced,

Thank you for this excellent piece of software. I use the non-root version.

The previous version 13.50.52 started giving problems all of a sudden.

The video going black while audio played. If we left the app or put the phone

to sleep, then on waking up the phone, the video reverted to start instead of resuming.

I have now updated to 14.05.56. Hopefully these issues will be resolved.

Thanks again for this app. It is a savior!

Hello friends.

I have a tiny issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. Let me know if a logcat or more information is needed.

I'm using the non-root version.

Everything works as it should except for the Casting: when I click on the cast button, I get a popup that says "Cast to" and the name of my chronecast device, as it should. But then, clicking on said name is supposed to start the casting, and instead nothing happens. It works fine on "stock" youtube.

Am I doing something wrong?

then i disabled YouTube and flashed it again (after uninstalling it the mod) still not showing up, this is really strange.

go to play store, settings, disable auto update apps. switch from "over wifi only" to "never"

Suggestion:

I understand Chromecast not working is a microG issue.

Would the developers like the idea to add a "Play On Kodi" button instead? Simply supporting the share option provided by the Yatse app? (You can hit share and select "Play on Kodi").

In my opinion, this would be totally awesome. .

Yatse might not be the official remote app, but it is simply the default one with the most users. It's not just a remote for Kodi but a full Kodi client in my opinion.

1. LOS 16 (latest)

3. Magisk v18.1 (latest)

b. I also tried disabling YouTube and disabling play store updates, removed the YouTube vanced mod, flashed the mod on magisk, still no luck.

what am i missing?
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Can you try disabling or uninstalling every version of YouTube that you have. Then uninstall the Magisk Vanced module. Reboot and flash the module. Afterwards, reboot again.

If that still doesnt work, be sure to let us know!
[Android Apps and Games] droidjunky90:
sure bro i will make sure to do so, i only have one YouTube installed and i can only "Disable it" not "Uninstall" it, would you recommend flashing the Mod on TWRP or just Magsik would be enough?

Disable that one and you can simply flash it through Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Use root version or the workaround mentioned on the thread a few times, non root won't cast anymore. Search the thread to find out.

[Android Apps and Games] kain144000:
So, it's my understanding that whether Sign out (which I prefer) and/or Incognito is available on the app is server side, or on YouTube's end. However, using the same most up-to-date root version (14.06.54) on my Nexus 5X and Pixel (2016), Sign out is only available on the Pixel. Anyone know anything about this, and how I may be able to Sign out on my N5X ?

Hello all,

I have an issue with auto updates, the official app has been completely removed and vanced installed with Magisk. App is working well but I cannot stop play store from updating it. I recently migrated to Android 9.0.4 (OxygenOS) and in previous version I had an option to disable auto update for specific apps. I still have this option but not for YouTube. Actually I disable updates globally to avoid that.

If someone has a solution it would be great !

Still having the "Not Signed In" issue.

I'm still getting a "Couldn't sign in" issue when attempting to use Vanced. The weird thing is that it's an intermittent problem, some times Vanced works, but 75% of the time it's "Couldn't sign in. Try removing and re-adding your account on this device".

I've removed and re-added my account so many times and the problem persists.

I've tried both of the recent versions of MicroG.

I've tried the latest version of Vanced.

I've given MicroG full permissions under Settings > Apps.

Nothing seems to work.

Samsung Galaxy S7 on Oreo.

Vanced worked great up until I either updated to Oreo or reset my phone, both of which occurred recently. Not sure where the problem is.

I'm in panic mode now.

I bumped into this post and thought great.

I have Samsung S7 with stock Android 8.

Instructions for non root are - install MicroG, instal Vance.

I instaled microG.

Prior to instaling Vance I read on MicroG thread that it can cause device to brick if "this or that".

I didnt dsable Google play services prior to installing MicroG nor did any modifications to my phone. It is fully stock.

Now I am afraid to restart my phone and there is no obivuous way to uninstall MicroG.

How I can uninstal MicroG?

Will it break my device on stock samsung rom?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Without reading your entire post - It's virtually impossible to actually "brick" a Samsung device - Worst case scenario - Boot into Download Mode and Flash the Stock Samsung Firmware with Odin - Just backup your device with Smart Switch if you don't have Root & copy/move everything you want or need to your external sd card or computer in the unlikely event you have to Factory Reset your device ?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Oh my god I'm so annoyed with the official app that I just have to ask - is it at all possible for Vanced devs to add an option to disable the swipe to change videos function? I have literally never used it on purpose and it frustrates me to no end when I use it accidentally.

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's just an app. You have to use microG for Vanced anyways, not the official microG. The official microG is used to replace g play services on your entire device and requires a lot of setup (a supporting ROM for 1).

microG for Vanced is just an app. A user app at that. You don't need to disable any play services or any of that. You definitely don't need anything from the microG thread. At all. You get microG for Vanced from the same place you get the non root Vanced app, from their site. Nowhere does it say go to the microG thread and start mucking around with the official microG. It won't work on Vanced anyhow.

You're not risking a brick or anything. Just start your device and log in on Vanced. Done. Unhappy? Uninstall both.

Easy peasy
