It is possible that YouTube, or at least remnants of it, exist in more than one location on your device. Try using a root Explorer app to search for youtube and delete any files before starting again. Also if it was previously installed through magisk as a module don't forget to delete the module using magisk manager.

Signature verification does not need to be disabled and it is not advised to do so either.
[Android Apps and Games] arslaniqb:
I thought vanced manager was supposed to overwrite stock app without removing it first.

Can I just uninstall youtube by removing it's folder in root?

I was trying to install without signature disable before and searched this method after first failed attempt.

I have unpactched the signature patches with lucky patcher again and now it says not patched.
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Your correct, vanced simply overlays the stock you tube app. However the manager app installation process has been streamlined so that it does everything for you.

If installing as a magisk module then yes you need to have the stock you tube, of same version number, installed first. But if using the manager app, just grant it root permissions and follow the prompts.

Yes you can uninstall youtube by manually deleting its folder using a root Explorer app.
[Android Apps and Games] arslaniqb:
I was using official vanced app with root access,dint tried magisk module.but it dint overlays the original stock app.

I can't find youtube in data/app. There is no folder for youtube. Where can I locate youtube in root explorer?
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
I use mixplorer which has a search function and will search your whole device for any files or folders that match the keyword you choose, in this case 'youtube'.

Anyway I have also had problems in the past installing from vanced manager. Try downloading youtube version 15.43.32 from apk mirror, install using SAI and then install this magisk module.

Here is a link to the devs Github so u can get the latest version if you like. I just haven't got around to updating yet.

Is it possible to enable download system in youtube vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] arslaniqb:
Thank you for your assistance.

I fixed it by uninstalling the stock youtube app with the help of sd maid and then installing vanced with the manager.

If you don't like YTV Manager (?), either don't use rooted YTV or read back through this thread, or use search (avialable if accessing XDA via browser) to find the posts about installing YTV root as a Magisk module.

See e.g.:

Btw, it's a pretty bad idea (and against the Magisk documention that can be found on Magisk Github site and costom ROM developers who want to play with Magisk should read and be aware of) to build-in Magisk into the custom ROMs. Sooner or later (specially if the smart developer also built-in Magisk Manager as a system app), you and other users will have problems when updating Magisk.

Hi all , hope you can help , I see a lot of people using a fake Google account for vanced , is there anything wrong with using your own Google account to access vanced ?
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
No. I've been using my own Google account for a few years and never had any issues. Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Worst that can happen? Google tells you you've been naughty and asks you not to be naughty anymore. They're not going to suddenly ban you from all their products for blocking ads.

I allowed it on Permissions but still turns out like this..

I'd like to update my Vanced app coz its takes time to load livestream videos
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidNaTiioN:
I didn''t know that. Thanks for the info.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Try when you first enable Install via USB from Developer options. Vanced asks to disable MIUI optimzations, also from Developer options (but for me enabling installations via USB was enough)
[Android Apps and Games] Edgie70:
Thank you , I just read a few things about people using fake accounts to protect themselves , I've been using it for a while and never had any issues with the devs ( knowing my Google data etc ) or issues with Google , thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Never even thought about using fake account - and using Vanced for years with np
[Android Apps and Games] G1ML1:
I think not seeing ads or removing them is users right and YT agrees with that. Thats why VYT isnt banned by google
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Exactly! It just like using an add blocker, there is nothing Google can do about it. If vanced were to say start adding the premium paid features to the app deliberately bypassing the paywall then they would be shut down by Google. But removing adds and adding there own tweaks or features to the app is ok. I don't think anyone's account has ever been banned for using vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Edgie70:
From browsing different sites on the web about it people were wanting / asking to make sure that using their own Google account with the vanced Devs was ok and not at risk too , I've never had an issue tbh
[Android Apps and Games] saint6822:
Posting this in hopes of helping anyone avoid the couple of hours of grief I had with the dreaded spinning circle when opening YouTube Vanced.

Issue: installed Vanced Manager and chose path for rooted device (running LineageOS for Microg in case you're wondering).

Opened YT Vanced

Added Google account, relaunched

Spinning Circle, not connected.

Tried, reinstall, clear data etc, to no avail

Installed Manager again and choose install for non-rooted devices and got a message that there was an issue with V16 and you had to install v15 first then update... same message isn't in the root version

uninstalled manager, reinstalled

Chose rooted version V15 (at bottom of install page)

Added account and logged in. Works!

reran manager, chose upgrade (make sure to select v16 at bottom of install page as above)

Bingo, all good

[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I believe what you want is Settings > Vanced Settings > Ad Settings > Home Ads (experimental) - > switch off. This is counter intuitive because it is an experimental feature I believe, but it works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I believe I had this same issue recently after removing and re-adding my YouTube account. I uninstalled YouTube Vanced with Vanced Manager and when I tried to reinstall it, Vanced Manager informed me it had to install a prior version of YouTube Vanced first, that I had to log in to that and then I could upgrade to the latest version (due to some YouTube issue). Very nicely handled!
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I don't think it is fair to say that Google can't do anything about it, since YouTube Vanced isn't allowed on the Play Store, despite all of the clones that are on there. I don't personally consider using my own account with it an issue though.
[Android Apps and Games] shafin baque:
For me the pull down search isn't working tried compact banner remover, community post removal from ad settings but nothing seems to fix the issue.

Hi, I have reinstalled Vanced and if I want to login again I get a Google login page. I put in my email address but it says that the account is already on the device. What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
It has to do with microg.

First try turning on incognito. Then kill the app. Then launch again. Now turn off incognito.

I posted another workaround. Look for my previous post.
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
You have to delete both microg and vanced.

Also, delete the Google account from settings->accounts.

Re install older vanced version. Then upgrade.

[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, I read your answer already but neither vanced nor vanced manager advice me to install an old version. Apart from this I don't know where to download an old version or which older version do work.

Will this been fixed in a future version of vanced? Then the best option is probably to wait for that...
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Ah no.

In one of my previous posts I have posted a solution. There are only two versions you can go back upto.

I know this may be kind of a a late reply

that wasnt my point Which is a average person Googles youtube vanced I'm not saying on here on the search engine you know google.com there are so many fake fuggi n websites i kno what to do

I'm not an idiot but now everybody is well versed in computers as I am or you obviously
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
If you choose the option to reinstall YouTube Vanced in Vanced Manager and then choose the option to redownload, a menu will pop up allowing you to select a version back to 15.05.4. I would recommend you try installing any 15 version and seeing if you can log into that correctly. If you can, then you should be able to upgrade to the newest version correctly. I hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
OK I did download 15.05.45 and can see my account if I click on login. But nothings happens if I click on that account. Below my account vanced says: please check your network connection. Any hint?

Hey guys,

May have been asked before, fairly new to Vanced, I've got a rooted Galaxy Note 10+ running dr ketans rom, vanced manager and vanced youtube work perfectly, however overnight when I go to sleep, the standard play store YouTube replaces vanced youtube and I need to reinstall the vanced again every day.

I don't mind reinstalling it really, it's that awesome of an app it's definitely worth it, but if anyone does have any info on how to fix this it'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers my dudes 🤙
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
You must detach or hide YouTube from PlayStore. You can do it on different ways, for example:

Magisk-Modules-Repo/Detach: Detach (github.com)

Mikanoshi/SudoHide: Xposed module hide android apps from other android apps (github.com) (Xposed Framework required)

Or you can simply disable YouTube automatic update in PlayStore, but then must be cautios not to do it manually.

Another solution is to use non-root version with MicroG
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Install TeMeFi and use it to detach YouTube from the PlayStore.

I reccommend TeMeFi as it's the only thing that has ever effectively and permanently removed YouTube from the PlayStore for me. The Magisk module would need to be re-flashed periodically and Sudo-hide required Xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
True. Personally I use SudoHide since I have Xposed installed for other tools also. Works perfectly fine too
[Android Apps and Games] gslemer:
Non-root here.

App randomly crashes / gets killed.

No error message. It only happens when I leave my mobile locked. If I keep the screen unlocked, it never happens.

I have to keep re-opening the app, or keep it unlocked which drains battery like there's mo tomorrow.

Any ideas how to avoid this?
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
That's probably down to MicroG and battery optimizations. Maybe MicroG is getting put to sleep when the phone is locked, which causes Vanced to crash. Try using it without MicroG and see if the issues persist.
[Android Apps and Games] Claufecam:
Team could update the mirror files. The root version there is 15.05.54 (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled). I was only able to install through SAI. The manager does not install at all and from what I understand, several other people are also having the same problem. With SAI installs without a problem and even after installing the manager I was unable to update to the latest version. I'm sure that with SAI we can do it. I prefer the root version, I use it on my px5 multimedia in my car and I can use it with the google assistant, which doesn't work with the non-root version. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Maru1:
I want to use YouTube vanced on my mi box s but it seems like it's not working properly as an apk for casting and playing.

Handling it with my remote is almost impossible as it's not optimized for Android TV, when I cast from my mobile, it opens up the regular YouTube with ads.

Any idea how I can get YouTube to run ad free on my mi box s?
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
This might just be a Chrome OS and Android integration issue but Vanced becomes unresponsive when leaving it for any period of time. If I do something on it, turn the screen off, turn it back on it responds but only when the screen is turned off and then back on after doing something. This is after a Powerwash and fresh install of Vanced and MicroG.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, the microG which comes with the new version is really not reliable on my phone:

1. I gave up to login ,after several tries to install an old version, login and upgrade. I have to live with sign out version

2. I get again and again on my miui the notification, to disable bat optimisation. I do this, reboot, the notification is vanished at first but comes back after some time. Checked and really: microG is again Battery optimized. Arrrgh
[Android Apps and Games] Maru1:
Is no one using mi box s or Android TV here?

Is there no support for Android TV in Vanced YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
No. Vanced is for mobile devices only.

There is another app to block YouTube ads that is made for TV's but it's not made by Team Vanced. I've seen it mentioned in this thread, but you'll have to search for it as the name escapes me.
[Android Apps and Games] dRm42:
Hey Guys! I've been using the non root YouTube Vanced for a while and the next two updates kinda broke it for me. When I start a video, the controls overlay (previous, pause, next) comes up and never disappears. If I downgrade, it works fine again. Has anyone seen this before and, more importantly, does anyone know a solution to this? Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] dRm42:
Actually, I think I've figured it out. I usually update vanced and then turn MIUI optimisations back on to get rid of the surplus, mostly useless entries in settings. This worked until 2 versions ago but now I have to leave it off to keep vanced working properly. Not a big price to pay, but took a while to figure it out. I hope this will help some other people who have the same issue. Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
at the top right there is an X. hit that and the controls disapear. I would *guess* there is also a setting somewhere to turn it off by default, but I haven't searched for it. Do a standard web search, as its probably the same with stock YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] leipnacht:
Thanks! Disabling MIUI optimization solved it
[Android Apps and Games] cognitivedissonance:
I recommend everyone stick with the following versions:

MicroG 0.2.16.204713

YT 15.43.32

YTM 4.07.51

These versions still work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Rooted, the latest versions both work fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
For me too (16.02.35 root YTV, not using Music)

Btw, root and not-root are different apps, and Micro-G (with its own issues) only applies to non-root, hence it cannot be generalized from non-root to root

How can i install on mi box 4K/S
[Android Apps and Games] namitutonka:
Buy Bandicam. A registered version can record (depending on free HDD space) any length (hours and hours even) of video with audio that your Windows PC can display. You can then use free Pazera software to convert Bandicam's .mp4 or .avi to an .mp3 sound file which will be much smaller than the video file.

[Android Apps and Games] moosefist:
I believe there was a change between magisk v21 and v22. I think the module needs an updated. I am running into the same thing too. I don't mind the older version myself since it still intergrates into things like the google feed and stops ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Panawel:
Add 'MUTE' button so the YouTube will not stop the music i listen to in other app and i can keep wach the video without sound on YouTube please!!
[Android Apps and Games] Sjhingan:
SO you're saying downgrading to magisk v 21 will fix the problem i'm having? is there another solution?
[Android Apps and Games] cognitivedissonance:
Yes, as some of you have pointed out, this recommendation is for those using the non-root method.

Based on my previous experiences with the rooted versions, they were significantly more prone to breaking, either by new YouTube releases, or other issues. Resolving those problems was also much more if a hassle. They were also more intrusive and provided no real additional benefits that I could find.

Comparatively, the non-root versions have been easier to use, they've been broken far fewer times, and when they do they've been easier to troubleshoot. Importantly, they also do not put my ability to use my banking / payment apps at risk. Those apps are getting better and better at detecting root, and injecting a root version of a system app seems like something that might tip them off -- I see no reason to risk it, since I actually consider the non-root version to be superior anyhow.

Hello everyone,

I have a motorola z2 play with oreo 32 bits stock rom and root with magisk. I want to install youtube vanced and I installed vanced manager. When I try to update youtube vanced, the app give me error and she tells me that there is already youtube installed. I can't uninstall it from my phone, there is no UNINSTALL button. I then read that the signature verification must also be deactivated, but I do not want it for security reasons. How can I do that? Are there alternatives?

I can install an old version, for example the 13 that did not have the split apk? I don't care that the version is old.. the important thing is that I don't see the ads

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Why if non-root is so good you need to install an old version 🥸

For non-root man ppl reported problems with battery draining due to MicroG

Btw, I'm running root version on A10 and now A11 for four or so months, always updating, no issues

However, root uses the package name of regular YT and one must make sure (and know how to) remove any newer YT version if installed on device, and take care never to update YT.

For all that there instructions (but some do not read)

As you see, there is no single truth, some like you more non-root, some of us more the root Vanced. Different people, different likes
