Discussed many times, hence please go through the older posts before asking

Root Vanced installs a particular version of (split) YT and 'overwrites' its base.apk

Due to that, some have troubles installing (if they already have pre-installed a newer YT version- but there are ways to fix that). Also, you must disable auto-update of YT in Playstore or detach YT from Playstore (updating of YT will remove the Vanced modifications)

No -root additionaly installs MicroG and many complain about its battery drainage.

However, you can safely have (and update) the official YT alongside with non-root Vanced since non-root comes with a different package name than the official YT)

For possible further subquestions please read the previos conversation in the thread (don't know if Search in XDA is now correctly functional), or install one and another and compare what better suites to you (ofc, for root Vanced, you need the root)
[Android Apps and Games] BrainlessGamer:
Thank you for the clarification
[Android Apps and Games] Punkisn:
It doesn't even load with the new update. Force closes after one second.

Will this ever be fixed?

After login, the app just closes.

I am using S10+
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
When installing the update (ROOT) I get an error (screenshots attached). I use a Samsung Galaxy S7 Stock ROM 8.0.0 with preinstalled YouTube.

Any solutions?

EDIT: Solution: Deinstall YouTube with Titanium Backup
[Android Apps and Games] Punkisn:
Auto closes.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Update (root) to V16.14.35 (build 01.50.01) went smooth as usual! :)

I had not paid any attention to this before (think it worked though) but that indeed doesn't work on latest version for me either. It does work on all other pages (Explore, Subscriptions, Library) however.

When I tap quality I see it has been redesigned and now gives a mode selection (Auto, Higher picture quality, Data saver, Advanced) prior to selecting any quality. After tapping 'Advanced' and selecting any quality mode works as expected. I just switched to 144p, then back to 1080p and each time it caught up within 3 seconds of playback.

Data saver seems to work as expected as well! Just started playing a new video from JayzTwoCents (available in up to 2160p to me) and it's nicely playing at 360p. Note that any issues you may experience in this respect (same with home refresh) are more likely related to Google's bugs opposed to Vanced enhancements.

No logs = it didn't happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Tried removing everything and reinstalling? I would force it back to its original state by disabling YT via Play Store, this should remove all its updates, then enable it again, let it update the official YT, then apply Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Punkisn:
Upon successful login the app closes in 2 seconds.

How do I find the log?
[Android Apps and Games] ozrrrr:
I haven't read this thread so I don't know if this topic has been addressed already. If it has, I'm sorry.

Would it be possible to have different icons to choose from for YTVanced, similar to how Flamingo for Twitter does it (12 or 13 icons that the user can choose between in the app settings). Icons could include the current Vanced icon, the old one, default YT logo etc.

Thank you for your consideration, and again I'm sorry if this has been addressed already.
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
For me it didn't. May be because of my phone model or something.

I have gone back to 15.xx.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Once or twice but you were the first to mention Flamingo! ;)

And that was nearly two years ago (here)! So this is essentially an extremely delayed bump :D

I won't speak for @Team Vanced but I think it's a great idea! If it could be easily implemented they may consider adding this (as it gets requested quite often) but again, that's entirely up to them and please don't expect any ETA. In the meantime I can only repeat the advice to use a third party launcher and tweak the icon manually.

If it isn't getting implemented, eh... See you in about two years? 😬
[Android Apps and Games] ozrrrr:
LMAO I had no idea I posted that 2 years ago 😄

I had to roll back to 16.02.35.

The last version makes my phone very hot, and drains my battery very fast.

(I'm on Samsung Galaxy S8, non root)

This is my first message here, so I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to the devs, despite this little problem !
[Android Apps and Games] 7adm:
exact same issue here. haven't had any problems before with installation (root)... now i am even unable to revert back to the older version, same error..

edit: phone is a galaxy a3
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
Yes, I first tried resetting YouTube to factory settings and also clearing the cache and data from the Playstore.

The solution was to uninstall the pre-installed version of YouTube via Titanium Backup.

After that, the installation worked.
[Android Apps and Games] robalm:

Using non root version on a Galaxy note 9. Updated and working smoothly. The only issue I have is that I want to turn off the swipe to scroll through the video feature. I swipe anywhere on the screen by accident and it swipes the player and it is annoying 😁
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
I updated to the newest version but still seeing login problems although the change log says it would been fixed:-( is there something additional to do?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Do people still use Titanium Backup?

It's not been updated since 2019, backup/restore doesn't work on split apks and playstore detach doesn't work either.
[Android Apps and Games] Punkisn:
Nothing is fixed man. I guess the team is passed to some teenagers that mess with our devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Not cool to insult the team like this. They provide a free app that is worked on on their own free time. If you can do better, build one yourself. Otherwise, maybe provide some helpful & useful information/logs instead of just saying "nothing is fixed" and then insulting them.
[Android Apps and Games] f_d2016:
16.14.34 non-root. Video codec override is not working properly with the new YouTube video quality settings.. I have both Wi-Fi and cellular set to data saver and the app insists on using the highest res possible.. I don't have unlimited on either my home internet nor cellular, so I normally want my video to be limited to 360p or sometimes even lower. The previous version respected the overrides in the Vanced settings, but .34 just seems to ignore them and you can only change resolution manually on a per video basis..
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
To my knowledge, as I have mentioned here before, once you have logged in with the older version of Vanced, you can upgrade to the newer versions without issue. This is what Vanced Manager states and it worked for me.

[Android Apps and Games] grzenio_l:
Hello all. I'm using YouTube Vanced Root version and installing this is easy with Vanced Manager, but now I have problem. Last YouTube version (16.14.34) added new "feature" of video quality and it is not able to manually select default, specific video resolution. E.g. I'm always using 720p, but if I select auto, then it starts to play with 320p resolution, and if I select higher picture quality then it play with 1080p, which is stupid because i have 720p screen resolution and manual changing for every video is annoying. So I want to downgrade YouTube Vanced Root to previous version (16.02.35) but I didn't find any working solution for this. Apps downloaded from different sites are installing as Non-Root version, but I need Root version. Can someone help and say if there is some working way to install 16.02.35 as Root YouTube replacement?

Uninstall Vanced.

Install next version of Vanced and repeat up to latest version.

Tried on 2 devices no problems.
[Android Apps and Games] G1ML1:
Seems it is fixed, I cleared cache
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
That's very likely the other way around 😂
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
I wish it we're true, but it's not. Swipe controls and volume control over casting is not working and Vanced keeps getting kicked out of memory quite often, especially with pip. But that's probably more due to of a type of containerisation emulation Google is using and the 4 gig of RAM on my duet.

Oh well, at least the important stuff works...
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Sometimes it's the little things...
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
Why does displaying the version information require clicking a carrot now? That makes no sense to me at all, it worked fine as it was.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
But... That was the punchline... Implying that Google hates you for installing a patched version of their own app on your Google computer.. You ruined the joke 😢

Anyway, I have yet to test this on my son's Chromebook. I try to avoid bloat on there as it's his system for school but I guess non-root should be okay. Thanks for the reminder.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Try to cast again now it's asking me to update Google Play services. I mean, I would if it didn't keep redirecting me to a dead page. Pretty sure Chromebooks are limited in that area anyway.

I give up, back to last version...
[Android Apps and Games] pr0xZen:
Yeah I didn't notice right away that this was broken, lined up a whole queue of "video podcasts" in the pipe before leaving for work. Played many hours of 4k content with screen off after going off wifi, usually does 144p. 2 days into monthly term and data plan completely drained. Yay. Really should push some kind of warning or at least a mention in the Vanced Manager changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Ohhh damn! I had that happen once too (different app).. Had to renew my subscription two days into the new month. Painful! You could use Vanced YT Music to avoid this. Same content but always easy on the data. You may want to check out ymusic to download content on WiFi for now 😬

For reference on how to downgrade using Vanced Manager.

Uninstall the current installed YouTube.

May need to reboot between uninstall and install.​

Open Vanced Manager and select install/download.

Tap on version and select the version you want to install.

Tap on SAVE

Tap on Install.

Note:

When you uninstall the current version of YouTube, you will lose your preferences/settings, so you will have to reconfigure your preferences/setting in the app.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Logcat to get the error message which is not shown.

Probably best if all people when posting issues specify if the are using the ROOT or the NON-ROOT version. Especially when it comes to battery drain, as MicroG is notorious for battery drain issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Also with the redownload? There has been a second push of updates that should fix this. Make sure to update to latest Vanced Manager (new interface with drop down icons) before you update.
[Android Apps and Games] Punkisn:
Same thing
[Android Apps and Games] prexda:
I have exacly the same issue. Older ver (YT) working propertly, after this update very huge battery drain.

~30min on YT and 30-40% battery gone and device is hottest ever.

Manager 2.5.1, YT 16.14.34, microG 0.2.18.210390

OnePlus7PRO, OS 11.0.0.2, non-rooted.

I check fresh install manager/micro/yt to newest version with del settings and cache.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
@Punkisn @javieracdc

As @DiamondJohn has nicely outlined above: you need to provide a logcat in order to receive support on XDA about a crash. Just stating "it crashes" is not a valid argument on a developer forum. Also note that internal VYT logging cannot capture this. If you don't know how to logcat, please first educate yourself. Just look up "how to logcat" in Duck Duck Go, Ecosia, Dogpile, WolframAlpha, Qwant, Ask Jeeves, Gibiru, Swisscows or any search engine of your preference (just not Google, never Google).

Tip: all you need are the platform tools; not the entire studio.
[Android Apps and Games] :
UPDATE:

Battery drain issue is caused by an error inside the both mods.

New versions will be released soon!
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Using non-root version on my 8T (OOS 11.0.8.12).

v 16.14.34 indeed drains battery very fast and causes excessive heating. For the 1st time in 6 months of owning the device, I had to remove the back cover to help the device cool down.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just to be more clear about this bug (on non-root):

The library references "com.mgoogle.android.gms" and "com.mgoogle.android.gms.chimera.container.DynamiteLoaderImpl" (immediately next to "gms" one) inside one "smali file" are the cause of battery drain.

Just change "mgoogle" to "google" if you are able to build a personal apk and wouldn't wait. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] rootSU:
Same here, I just flashed my friend's N5 with a 8.1 ROM, and downloaded the latest youtube from playstore.

Then just installed magisk, and flashed through it, still no effect on youtube app.

The problem is there's no uninstall updates option for youtube app, maybe that's the reason vanced is not working there. Any alternatives?

Shall I install an older version of YT app, or wait for the vanced update?
[Android Apps and Games] sushuguru:

On 8.1 the option to uninstall updates is disable, then re enable. Or just delete YouTube from data/apps

Remove the update, and do not update again. It overwrites Vanced.

I have actually checked is not selected where I have to sign
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
the op clearly stated,, "place zip instaler,,youtube apk and *.plz file if u use it 'IN INTERNAL SDCARD INSIDE DOWNLOAD FOLDER"..

mean /sdcard/download/ or /sdcard/Download/ not just /sdcard/

Download it to wherever and then move it or copy/paste it to /sdcard/download.
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
not just the installer man,,the *.apk and *.plz too..
[Android Apps and Games] NE0HP:
For me, puting the apk file alonwith Installer zip under Download folder doesn't worked so I kept the Installer zip under Download folder and put the apk under device root folder and it worked since while flashing the Installer zip if it doesn't detect apk then it throws error that's the reason the alternative method as mentioned on OP is to place the apk file under the Installer zip itself and flashed through TWRP to avoid such errors! Just attaching screenshot to differentiates download folder and device root folders!
[Android Apps and Games] labello29:
and how do you install it? because I do not understand anything anymore
[Android Apps and Games] fake2die:
there,,u need those 3 file inside /sdcard/download/ to work..

u only need to flash the zip file..

[Android Apps and Games] mhasan92:
If you read my previous posts, i am infact all of us facing this issue on older devices on videos uploaded after 20 March 2018, if you watch a month old video on any of your older device you'll get 1440p default, like on my Tab S 10.5 a month old 4k video is playing fine in 1440p which is Tab's default resolution, but a week old video is capped at 1080p max, unless i enable Vp9 option, and after enabling this option video start strutting badly :(
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You don't install APK. When you flash the installer zip, the installer itself finds the APK in internal storage and installs it for you. Make sure it's the root APK, not the non root.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Your device, download folder. Installer zip and APK. Flash installer. Make sure Data and System are mounted in twrp.
[Android Apps and Games] TeoMingErn:
Anyone has a solution to the casting issue? I use a Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro flashed to the international ROM (identical to the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro). I have been casting from YouTube Vanced to my Xiaomi 4S TV without any issue since I got the tablet in Feb 2021. It just broke yesterday. I am able to cast using my wife's phone and my own phone (Samsung Galaxy S8+ & Note8) as well as her Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) tablet.

A few things I noted:

1. The Chromecast icon is fully white (with the signal icon inside the rectangle also white). So it seems that my tablet is permanently connected to something?

If I am not wrong, the following should be the normal behaviour of the Chromecast icon if it is working...

A. the Chromecast icon is always present but greyed out when no TV is close by that supports Chromecast.

B. It then turns the rectangle white when a TV that supports Chromecast is on the same wifi network.

C. And the signal icon then turns white inside when connected to the TV. The signal icon pulses while the device is in the process of connecting to the TV.

2. My tablet ends up doing normal screen mirroring (Miracast) instead of Chromecast. I can't seem to activate Chromecast even though the icon is there.

3. I tried the original YouTube app on my tablet, and it seems that the Chromecast icon has disappeared.

This is what I did in sequence:

1. Cleared the cache of the Vanced app on my tablet. But still no dice.

2. Cleared the cache, and restarted my tablet. No dice.

3. Uninstalled YouTube Vanced via the Vanced Manager app. And reinstalled the YouTube Vanced app by re-downloading the files. I have not tried casting yet. But I notice now that when I launch the app, the Chromecast icon is no longer available when my TV is off. I did this over breakfast before rushing off to work, so no time to test yet... will get back later when I test it.

In the meantime, if you have a workaround, please let me know... thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Can you make a post on how to build a personal apk? I can make the changes you suggested, but I know I won't be able to install the app due to signature check.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Chromecast icon would show up only when a supported device is available on the network. In your case, it will show up only when your TV is ON and ready for cast.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
For NON-ROOT users:

Those unable to login to YouTube vanced, you can do this:

1. Install the latest microG v 0.2.18.210500

2. Install Vanced YouTube v15.43.32

Vanced YouTube v16.x has problems logging in, but v15.43.32 signs in fine.

If need be, you can update to v16.02.35 (but install v15.43.32 and login first before updating), which is little buggy, but still fine. v16.14.34 is NOT recommended because it causes lot of battery drain and excessive heating.
