[REQUEST]

Is it possible to open the subscription page by default as was possible with yourtube+ xposed module
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Yeah, me too. But this time it wasn't the same question as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] Napert:
And again:

I ask a question about a crash and provide all the necessary details - get ignored - ask the question again - "WheRe aRE YouR LOgS??!?" - provide the details again - get ignored again

For how long will this cycle continue???
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
1. Try with older magisk (18.1 stable)

2. Does the same thing happen with youtube installed from playstore? Remove module, install YouTube from playstore and check.

3. If YouTube from playstore works, have you tried non-root vanced?

In logs I see you have google certification issue. So, YouTube from playstore should also not work

You see? You haven't provided all the info

:rolleyes:

It is possible via automative apps like tasker, that will flip the page to subscriptions once you open the app. Dont ask me how, check their thread
[Android Apps and Games] Napert:
1. It doesn't work with any magisk version

2. Youtube installed from playstore works fine

3. I have tried magisk module, rooted and non rooted version and they all crash
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Nothing to solve as it is not a problem, just something you don't want to see. Just leave it there (quite sure you'll probably need it again).

Some launchers can hide apps. If yours does then use that feature. You can also disable it in Settings -> Apps where it'll disappear from the app drawer but still be available if you need it.

Moto G5S Plus XT1806, OmniROM 8.1.0, microG (NoGapps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
If non-rooted crashes and YouTube from playstore works fine then the info you provided is not sufficient to find the culprit. Truth to be told, I cannot think of ANY reason why non-root will crash because it is just a 3rd party app. Unless your phone is somehow immune to google apps, in which case youtube from playstore should also crash.

You also said you have android 9.0 on redmi 4a, which is not the official firmware by xiaomi since redmi series are mostly forgotten and not given updates. Your last firmware should be marshmallow. In case you are on a custom ROM, xposed modules, substratum themes, magisk modules and all relevant info should also be present for troubleshoot.

Just a P.S. We do NOT have to help you. We are trying to help people who are willing to provide info, as much as we can. But it still does not mean that your issue will be fixed right after the info is provided even in case you haven't provided sufficient info, or your issue is a very specific issue that cannot be easily reproduced to provide a fix. Just my 2 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] abumaha:
Where is Update may
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
What do you need an update for? Is the app broken?

You do know asking for ETAs is a huge no no especially on a big thread like this where you will get bashed for asking such questions

Q. Can I download videos with this ?

A. No (and you never will)! but the official YouTube Offline Video feature is working in Supported countries.

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
No update needed.
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
But WTF "Borken" means? Maybe it's an issue we don't know about yet :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah maybe he should be more interested in getting an update for his keyboard or autocorrect... ?
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Damn, I guess that my Vanced has just punished me 4 being a "pain in the ass"... :laugh:

Can someone please take a look at this.

A question: have you moved/linked YouTube app to microSD?
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Nope
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
There is a path on my external sd:

/storage/5C80-11F4/Android/data/com.google.android.youtube/files/offline/LnaGDxTZsCF6_A6ibsMmow/streams

Edit: but of course Vanced is in /system/app/YouTube
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes I know. When you link/move an app to sd you actually move app data and cache rather than apk itself. I was talking about this line to be precise:

E StorageManagerService: Failed to mkdirs for /storage/72F0-11ED/Android/data/com.google.android.youtube/files/ , volume is not writable

But you say your sdcard is "5C80-11F4"... How come?
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Ok, now I know what it's all about. But I didn't know that this could be related. I had my USB OTG stick connected, and this error occurred just a while after I uninstalled it (safely removed)... So YouTube was trying to write smth on my OTG stick, and it failed after I removed it....

But why?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
A more important question is why you have "Android/data/com.google.android.youtube/files" on usb otg

:D

Jokes aside, you can try clean data&cache of app to see whether it fixes it. If it is related to that, then resetting app should fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Yeah, that's a good question. Vanced came back to life just after restart (Vanced restart), and it's all good now even without cleaning data/cache. First thing I've done was collecting logs to make sure that G isn't involved in this :D I'll try to force this situation once again and then check step by step if cleaning data/cache in app will help... Interesting for me is the fact that YouTube doesn't have storage permission allowed. So what it wanted from my OTG...

Sorry it took me so long to describe and answer (or tell You that it's working already), I had to take care of my kids ;)

Thank you very much for Your help and quick response. Yet it came out that the issue was just as usual - a user issue :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Ceist:
Hi there. I have an issue wherr the app says I don't have connection to thr internet, but I have no issue using the default youtube app or any other app. Is there some way to fix this?

EDIT: I discovered why this might be happening. I have my phone data backed up by google and I think they might be disabling connection to the app whenever its open and Im sync'd with their services. I desync'd myself and was able to reconnect with the Vanced app.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Man, that started happening to my OTG stick too. Ever since I updated my Moto g6 play to pie (stock), whenever I try to move a file from micro SD card to USB OTG stick. It starts creating a crapload of Android/Data/ files for a bunch of apps. I don't even bother with it anymore.

OT, but not completely I guess so I don't feel bad. LoL

I'm only transferring movies and things like that that I've download it with torrents. So it shouldn't be doing it, but it is. For a ton of apps. Like it's not mounting correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] designori:
Thanks a lot buddy
[Android Apps and Games] gtaelbordo:
is this app dead? because it is based on a old version and all gdrive links are broken
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
The app works fine and all of the links work too (but they're a little slow to load initially ATM)
[Android Apps and Games] gtaelbordo:
hm okay i got always an error from google drive:/
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
For those having issue with no root version and login into your account, try to install the fixed version of MicroG from the official Vanced site. Once you tap "accept" at the end of the login process, you will be stuck. But press the device back button and your MicroG account should be added and connected.

If in the future Vanced tells you your account fail to connect and you have black screen instead of video list, go to Android accounts settings. Delete your MicroG account and add it again and login.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Hope you're prepared to repeat this, probably about... Every 22 - 37 minutes. For a month. LoL.
[Android Apps and Games] mnkurk1989:
For the people having issues with the sign and stuck on agree part go to apps manager in settings and disable or uninstall chrome browser and then go try to sign back in if all goes well you can enable or reinstall your Chrome browser after that. This method has worked for me every time
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
And you didn't read 2 posts above you? There is an updated MicroG aimed at fixing it. The "workaround" you mention has been posted dozens (if not hundreds) of times.

Now there is an actual solution. But members do have to read to see it.

It is nice of you to try and offer a solution. Unfortunately, it has been in use for quite a while, and not only posted numerous times, but also in the OP under FAQ.

That said, try the new MicroG and post back if it works for you. Along with device, Android version, and ROM if applicable.

So that others may benefits from confirmed working testimonial.

BUG Vanced using Chromecast:

Hi Vanced forum. Nice to meet you.

I'm using Youtube Vanced (NONROOT) with Chromecast device to watching on TV, connecting previously Youtube official app from Smartphone.

Nevertheless, since last Youtube Vanced version 14.10.53, the connect chromecast icon *Disappears* (it's gone) on Vanced app.

Using Vanced v. 14.06 and previous ones, Vanced is connecting fine connecting previously official Youtube app to Chromecast.

Chromecast year 2013 version.

Youtube official app, testing pre-installed and last updated version.

Smartphones: Samsung J7, Huawei Y7. Android 8, and 7.

Please, adding this bug to Fix this issue on next Vanced version.

Thanks.

Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
You can still use Chromecast just click your profile picture in top right corner, then go to settings >> watch on TV and then link to your Chromecast.

Thats what I do and it works no problem
[Android Apps and Games] MoshuXXL:
That setting is for watching videos on Smart TV, not for Chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
I already said thats what I do and that it works no problem :confused:

Not trying to be smart but why butt in with the wrong information?
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:
Has anyone else have this issue? Or know of a workaround?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
About 8 posts back

And I quote...

If in the future Vanced tells you your account fail to connect and you have black screen instead of video list, go to Android accounts settings. Delete your MicroG account and add it again and login.

Wow i just can't believe no one reads posts, all theses issues with chromecast and log in, all are posted over 100x lol.
[Android Apps and Games] muzzikapp:
Good jobs boys, congrats!
[Android Apps and Games] MoshuXXL:
That setting it's not for Chromecast. You can't pair Chromecast with YouTube from there. You must have paired TV and you think you're casting to TV via Chromecast but you're in fact casting directly to TV.
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:
Hmm... I did see that but that's not the issue I'm having or so I think it's not. The YouTube app itself is perfectly fine and I see my videos fine. What I'm talking about is when I'm looking at my Google Discover Feed and there's a YouTube video. If I click into that video I get a black screen. Is this not different to the issue you mentioned?
[Android Apps and Games] bsports666:
hello everybody!

i have problem to install this youtube vanced on my android 6.0 (magisk root).... i was download and install module "youtube vanced" with my magisk manager, and it was install app and when i reboot the phone then i was check if the module was install and it was there, but i dont have any youtube app on my phone? i got to install youtube from playstore? how this works for magisk? regards
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah it's a wonder how some people managed to even find xda - let alone Vanced to begin with....?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
My TV isnt a smart TV so how would that happen :confused:

Like why don't you believe it?
[Android Apps and Games] TursonX:
Don't work "Watch on TV" method on my Vanced to Chromecast.

Vanced cannot be "Linked", neither Chromecast displays numeric code on TV.

Youtube official app if works. And after that Linked this, then Vanced if can connect to Chromecast, but NOT in 14.10 vanced version.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Works for me
[Android Apps and Games] TursonX:
Hi Gary.

What Chromecast version do you have?

I have the first one I think, Chromecast 2013 version, "man of steel" on portrait.

Do you use "Google Home" app?

Maybe, some particular setting?

Anyway, Vanced 14.10 has a bug to chromecast.

Too bad that the people who are asking about logging into their account - Don't SEARCH - Didn't read the XDA Rules & Probably wouldn't bother reading the FAQ anyway.... Just Sayin' ?
[Android Apps and Games] MoveOnToWhat:
Read the instructions on the YouTube Vanced website. Essentially, you have to uninstall all updates of the original YouTube app and make sure you disable automatic updates for the same. If you have done this successfully, the Vanced app will replace your the original YouTube app.

And in the settings it shows like there is no app icon (green android logo). And while i have vanced yt, it still not shows in google play that youtube installed.

Where do I extract the logs from?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Google it to find out. There are also many XDA threads that show you how can you log an event. Choose the one that is suitable for your device setup (which we also don't know) and perform the logging.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Jw, how? Youtube provides audio/video associated with the file uploaded to them. If i turn off the screen, yes, audio plays and i don't see any video. But when i turn the scren back on, my video is nearly in sync with the audio, possibly a few seconds/frames behind. I don't resume the video from when i turned off the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
The following should help:
[Android Apps and Games] redhorsemanwarLGN:
sorry for late response 1- root features are same as non-root and magisk they all are the same what changes is the way you install them.

2- preferred speed goes into all videos because you set it like that.

3- join our discord server suggestion channel and submit it there.

4-no only by doing what you did it is youtube fault.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] th1nd:
My phone is unrooted
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
use his 2nd link, and follow the instructions under "2. USING ADB ".

ADB does not require root.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It just does. It's been tested by devs and users. And me.

For example, if I'm playing a video in an area with poor data reception, and the video halts and starts "load", I can turn the screen off and the audio will start instantly. Because it's only streaming audio.

I've tested by comparing data consumption with both the video playing, and the screen off. Only a fraction of the data seen from video is observed with screen off.

The developers of vanced have tested this as well.

Maybe since yt is designed with background play ability big g made it that way intentionally.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Ok, i see what you're saying
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I haven't tested the following, its total projection.

I would hazard a guess the recommendations are based off your history (library in bottom right, then history). So, it would be logical if you clear your history, the recommendations wont be for the random video you watched "by accident";) You can also selectively delete individually videos from your history.
[Android Apps and Games] VikingMoto:
Dude chill up. The splash screen is added by Google for whatever reason they 'think' they have, and I am not pointing fingers at Vanced developer(s) by any word/speculation, cause they have nothing to do with it.

So next time everyone have to write a 300 words essay on 'Thank you Vanced developer' before any bug report/features request/just simply complaint against third party, is that what you want on this forum?

Again, I have no disrespect to Vanced developer(s) and I am thankful for their work, but you have no stand on any kind of moral highland to speculate on others intention and satisfies your desires of lecturing others.

Since this is definitely out of topic, I won't comment on this issue anymore, nor read any of your possible replies. Have a nice day.

ihey guys I'm getting stuck on the sign in part of youtube, it just constantly tries logging in but doesn't actually sign in any ideas anyone?

oh it signs in with password. but @ I agree page it doesn't go past that!
[Android Apps and Games] Paschfire:
Pls learn to search the thread for answers before posting, this topic has been discussed numerous times already.

The answer to which is available on the previous page.
[Android Apps and Games] Anonaru:
You can! The root versions will let you log in without issue, the non-root requires MicroG. I've been using ad bypassing and background playback on my main YT / Google account since the mods were available, and haven't had any issues. Don't believe the workarounds that they use pose any threat to your account

Edit: Whoever decided to make YT Vanced +updates available through XDA Labs deserves a Nobel Prize, man you guys rock!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You use it just as you would regular YT. Why would that need to be in Q&A?
[Android Apps and Games] NatoBoram:
Because if I had this question, surely other people might have the same concerns as me! I think it's normal to be worried about things like this, and reassuring users is a good thing to do.

[Android Apps and Games] Team Vanced:
You don't think but you are not sure. Any chance you could test it with the original YouTube app? It's dark in the original YouTube app, it's dark in the modded YouTube app, it's themed with some other substratum theme as reported by [MENTION=7326122]Zgadnijcie[/MENTION] , so it's not looking very good for your subs theme.
[Android Apps and Games] TrumpCard:
I'm wondering if there would be a way to enable an immersive mode setting for the app. I use the dark theme but the white nav bar on the S8 sticks out like a sore thumb.
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
Well it's not looking much better, but it is at least readable. On Vanced, the fonts are white.

Still not fond of getting blinded by pure white though so I'll stick with Vanced's black theme.
