By reading the install guide!

It has completely changed now as Google are using split apks so all the old methods of installation are now void.

Read the documentation on how to install. It cannot be installed through twrp anymore.

Not a fault of team vanced they did what they could to get the app updated after the major changes from google
[Android Apps and Games] braschlosan:
For those asking how to install the root version easily on Android 10, I used the following :

- Oneplus 7 Pro with oxygen os v10.3

- Riru core magisk module v19.7

- Riru edxposed magisk module v0.4.5.1_beta Yahfa

- An xposed module called "core patch" V1.2.0 listed as the very first module on the official Taichi page https://taichi.cool/module/

- The settings shown in the screenshot. Once YouTube vanced was installed I unchecked the module in Edxposed and YouTube is still functional

- YouTube Vanced v15.05.54 installed with SAI v3.4
[Android Apps and Games] WoKoschekk:
THIS is the "install guide":

Note: Version 15.05.54 requires Split APKs Installer (SAI) (with root mode enabled) from the Play Store.

Following this guide YouTube was not installed as a system app.
[Android Apps and Games] Cablespider:
I didn't realize the magisk mod was discontinued until a few days ago when YouTube began freaking out. Came here, did some reading and prepared for the apk way.

OP6T running crDroid 10. Installed microg, then vanced no root through sai. Logged in and all is well. No issues whatsoever. Pretty straightforward. Thanks, y'all!

Would be a dream if all users were smart like you.
[Android Apps and Games] pleasetouchmenot:
I second that. Hope the other users were like you who read the instructions and details given. Not crying like a baby for not backreading or searching and blame the vanced team because they don't know what they are doing.
[Android Apps and Games] KiemDao:
Dear users,

Been using the old Vanced for a while and it's amazing. I would like to download the new version and I've been following the guide like I should (I guess?). I have a non-rooted Xiaomi mi 9t pro running on android 10 and miui 11. I've installed micro g (without SAI) and then tried to install vanced via SAI. I keep getting the same error people have been mentioning earlier in this thread. I tried the default vanced, but also the legacy version. Also tried to install via SAI without having Micro G installed. Is there anyone with a solution?

Kind regards and thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] adrenochrome25:
The error was for the rooted version of youtubevanced, did you take the non-profitroot version of the app ?

Edit: grrrr auto-correction
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Did you read OP (first post)? There is a part of installation which says "How to install v15 on MIUI".

Non-profit? You mean the other is profitable?

Oh... You mean "non-root" probably... Though why would he use root apk on his non-root device?

:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] KiemDao:
Thanks for the reply. I 'fixed' it, or better said, I found what caused the error. I had to turn off MIUI Optimization in developer options. I then installed Micro G (normal apk) and Vanced via SAI. Afterwards I enabled MIUI Optimization again.
[Android Apps and Games] Krunk83:
How'd you get no ads? I have ads on my home page all over the place? No ads during videos though.
[Android Apps and Games] adrenochrome25:
Because I was thinking he was getting the signature error and from what I get the signature check is only for root version. Seems he succeeded to install finally, so it must have been another error :)
[Android Apps and Games] stepd:
hello, i've just installed Pixel Experience 10 Rom on my Poco F1 with latest non root version of vanced, works perfectly BUT, i noticed that whatsapp doesn't play video in PiP mode, it just opens vanced app and then plays video. any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yeah. As he said above, his issue was already answered in the first post under "how to install v15 to MIUI". Right under the non-root steps for installation.

Ads are R.E.G.I.O.N.A.L.

I dont know how many times it was said already. Since announcement of previous version in 2019 I guess. And still users post such replies. Please, dismiss the ads on home page. They are region dependent. I checked them on three different locations (physically, not via VPN) and on same phone, same vanced and same settings I saw three different ads regimen. In one place (middle east) I got literally no homepage ads, on another two (Germany and Greenland) I got ads. And in both of those locations, disabling homepage ads (i.e. hiding homepage ads in settings) got rid of most of the ads (not the other way around as reported by one or two users here). So it is definitely regional issue. Please do not concentrate on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No such issue. Same whatsapp same vanced (stock YouTube is disabled) non root and on stock google latest firmware on pixel 3a xl. WhatsApp opens YouTube video in window and it can even go fullscreen without openning YouTube. It opens YouTube if you press on YouTube text below video. If it works on stock firmware and not on your custom ROM, report to the maintainer/dev of the ROM. Not app issue.

Also, try to see whether vanced is selected as default YouTube video player. In mine I didn't select so that it asks each time. Maybe that could help your issue
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
I agree with@marciozomb13.

Cannot play videos in Goole Play store

Hello guys,

I noticed one problem with latest YT Vanced 15.05.54 (black, non-root, arch - default). I installed it without problem using SAI, everything worked, but I noticed that I cannot play videos in Goole Play store now (I disabled original YT app). See error message in attachment.

I also tried to restart and change default settings of opening yt links in settings.

I am running Galaxy S9+ Exynos with official Android 10

Thank you for help
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I guess that is not YouTube related as I remember to be able to watch those not that long ago with same vanced setup. Should be some incremental update brought by google that broke it. Just wait patiently for it to be automatically fixed by Google again.

Or you can also try to uninstall your vanced and revert back stock YouTube if you think it is any way vanced related.
[Android Apps and Games] KUSOsan:
Works fine for me. I'm on pixel 3xl running Android 9 but I'm still using the last Vanced versions before the split APK stuff
[Android Apps and Games] mojemenouzbolopouzite:
I tried to re-enable original YT and videos in Google Play started to work. Then I disabled it again and I have same error sa before.

YT Vanced was still installed and working properly.... so it seems that YT Vanced is somehow not cooperating with Google Play...
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Or could just reactivate GYT since non root VYT is having different package name (still I guess)?

Edit - user replied posted while I was trying..

Still, is likely at Google's end that's causing this issue.. as you mentioned.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Like [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] mentioned, it's likely at Google's side causing this.
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Having the same issue on my S9 and yes to all the smart asses I did exactly what's posted in the OP lol. I went back to the old Vance version until this is fixed
[Android Apps and Games] :
Me too. I did a research and most of these common errors are proper from Samsung devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
So I got it to install on my S9, for some reason in SAI the "sign APKs" option was enabled, once I disabled it I was able to install it with no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
On the oneplus 7t 10.0.0.8 it causes you to boot into fastboot. Had to disable the riru edxposed to boot phone. Both versions of riru edxposed cause a fast boot bootloop.

Thank u so much, worked like a charm.
[Android Apps and Games] clerafel:
I am at xiaomi.eu 20.2.27. In this version there is no miui optimization in the developer options, but I could install the apk only with SAI, without using Shizuku. Is there a problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Dear developers,

This FREE app is amazing and the install instructions in both the OP and website are simple and clear to follow. For every 1 post complaining and asking how to fix an error that has already been answered a thousand times, I'm sure there are 10+ satisfied users that don't post but are happy with the app.

The tone of this thread needs to change, please read this thread and try and do your own research before posting questions asking for help as chances are you will find an answer just by looking.

We all need to show some appreciation or there will not be another update and app will be abandoned, then we will all have something to complain about!

Just my two cents worth :)
[Android Apps and Games] braschlosan:
Whoa! Maybe you should inform the developer since that seems pretty severe
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
No problem bro, hopefully it'll help someone else hopefully it can be added to the OP.

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Honestly i have given up on using the root version. The only thing i miss is playing youtube videos in other apps..the app will fail to initialise otherwise non root works just fine
[Android Apps and Games] pleasetouchmenot:
Works fine for me. Using the latest non root version.
[Android Apps and Games] MBDdk:
I just want to share my experiences installing the root version on Pie in case anyone is having problems like I did. Doing a quick search in this thread, I don't believe anybody have suggested this before, so here goes.

I initially tried generating a Magisk module using Smali Patcher to disable the signature verification. However, this didn't work for me, and it still tried verifying the certificate, even though the module seemed to be created and activated as intended. I then found the Xposed module called 'HiddenCore'. To be honest, everything about this module kinda makes my spider-sense tingle, but I found a thread here on XDA discussing the same: https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/hiddencore-module-doing-t3903984 . The conclusion seems to be that there isn't anything suspect going on (Note that there still might be!) so I tried installing it. This made me able to install YTVanced using SAI (Split Application installer) as intended. After the installation I disabled the HiddenCore module again - which I'll also suggest others as leaving the signature validation off is not recommended, plus there is also this annoying bug (I guess?) that makes the phone screen unable to sleep automatically as long as the mod is enabled.

So to sum up, here's what I did:

1: Install the HiddenCore module and activate it in Xposed (https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.cofface.ivader).

2: Reboot phone.

3: Install SAI from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en_US)

4: Install the root version of YT Vanced through SAI (don't forget to disable the Sign APKs option and to select the root installation method)

5: Disable/remove the HiddenCore module in Xposed.

I hope this helps somebody and saves you some time :)
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
I surely agree with everything that you have stated here, some people just don't want to take the time to try and figure things out on their own.
[Android Apps and Games] Humpfrey:
Hi guys i´ve been using Magisk version of Vanced previously but lately it startet doing weird stuff, so i did some research.

Came here to see there´s no longer a magisk version recommended/continued - installed the non-root without issues but first i didn´t get my notifications working.

i then figured out i had to set up microG in YoutubeVanced Settings - MicroG Settings, now it´s working.

I did not find this "information" in the first post, maybe this could be helpful for others?

And one more question, what are the advantages by using the root version instead of the non-root?

I´ve been using Vanced for a long time i guess, therefore i´d like to thank the devs´ for this amazing work. I Love it.

Cheers

When trying to download older versions of Youtube Vanced, from the website, going to: Looking for older versions? Click here.

Clicking it just gives an error 404 NOT Found

This is the link the site gives to download older versions:

https://vanced.app/nonroot

So there seems to be some problem again with the site? I have had a similar problem 6+ months ago but it got fixed in a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
All the older versions are available from link in first page (3rd post). Use afh. If it happened before and got fixed then it will be fixed again.

Be not afraid
[Android Apps and Games] Claimmore:
Yeah, if I recall, last time I also used AFH to get the file. That works just fine.

I was wondering was it possible to remove the popup that shows always when you start Vanced.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Installing which YouTube vanced? With which procedure? Try on stock Firmware, if it works, then report to your ROM dev.

Try it.

Check sai settings to be sure "root" is not checked. Else, report device info, report your steps and provide logs. Help cannot be done if info is not shared. Otherwise report to sai app dev.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
If you want help, read post #2 "Big Reports" and then post again with full details and a log.

And, like [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] said, check it's not a rom bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
What does "never had this issue" mean?

- You used this same procedure for long time under same setup, but now, out of the blue, you are having issues?

- You used google maps with previous vanced with no problem, but after switching to new vanced you get issues?

I don't know which of them it is. But I doubt it is vanced related. Probably when google maps starts voice feedback, it stops media players so that you can get clearer sound. But we cannot troubleshoot without knowing what you meant with that

Write to SAI dev if you think it is app issue. You will not get support for sai app related issues here. If you followed steps correctly but meet an issue, then this topic is out of discussion of this thread.

Bottom padding feature request

I was looking for a similar feature.

You can view similar videos to the current video in fullscreen by swiping up, but I'm not able to do so as swiping changes brightness and volume instead.

There should also be an option to give a bottom padding to keep it from swiping volume/brightness controls as you can do on top.

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
May I remind everyone this mod was initially created because we didn't wanted to rely on Xposed.

The initial iYTBP was created using the source code of Xposed module.

We have root, non root, magisk, repo version, installer, themed versions, bla bla.. but still apparently that's not enough.

What more do you want ? Automatic background updates ? New release everyday ? Xposed module ? Iphone version ? Do you want one of us to come to your home and install it on your new phone ?

If it's too hard for you to install the root version, then install the non root one.

Non root version is obviously not that hard to install/update ?

Still that's not good enough for you ?

Then don't use it. That's it.

Use the official version or other unofficial versions..

It's your choice.

No one is forcing you to do this.

We all are super busy people.

We started this project because it was a fun thing to do but not anymore..

Have you seen ZaneZam showing up in this thread ? Have you ever wondered why ?

For God's sake, use the search before posting.

And one last thing, if you don't like the new icon/splashscreen, install the older 12.xx.xx and stay there. Don't ever update because we are not gonna change it. Because we like our icon/splashscreen very much...!!
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
Thanks for this post.

By the way: An iPhone version with automatic daily backround updates and integrated xposed module would be nice.

And don't forget to change the icon / splash screen. :silly:

I know, it's terrible! Just imagine having to create all the modded apks on every update, plus making the magisk version, the repo version, the non-root version, the special MicroG for non-root version, the installer, the settings.sh file and all the .plz files yourself. And after that having to hear people complaining because downloading an apk, rebooting and flashing a zip is not so fast an simple.

Boy, are you serious?
[Android Apps and Games] Fadzz:
Yes?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
There are only 2 choices in your case. Arm or arm64. Look at your screenshot. Looks like arm to me (armv7.....)

Not to be condescending but, if you don't know these basic things you probably shouldn't be messing with mods.
[Android Apps and Games] Fadzz:
The instructions are clear enough, but the distinction between the arm categories isn't something I'm familiar with.

I don't know why asking a simple question made you assume things about me, I often mess with my phone's software and learn from the process, even if things go wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Your phone is either 32-bit or 64-bit processor. Arm is 32-bit arm64 is 64-bit. What I meant was, Knowing whether your phone is 32 or 64 bit processor is fairly basic.
