Haven't reverted yet. Just came back to read up on manual method.

Videos I watched on the previous phone using 14.x are in my history now. Some videos I watched on this phone with 15.x are there but not all of them. I'll check post 2 and see. I don't think I did anything with v14 though.

Edit. Added the adaway whitelist entry. What does "brand account" mean as far as microG is concerned?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

History seems to be working now. Thanks. The online ads are a minor aggravation so I'm still considering a rollback to 14.x. Is the whitelist still needed for it. Again, I never had that set before this install.

Ads when Casting to Panasonic TV

Thanks for this great app! Just one question. I'm seeing ads when casting videos to a Panasonic TV but not when seeing videos directly in the app (no Casting). Can you help me to block ads when I'm casting?

I'm using the latest version 15 installed via Manager. Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] louforgiveno:
The YouTube app on the tv is not ad free.....when you cast to your tv, it is running the app installed on tv opposed to the vanced version on phone....

You'd need ad free YouTube app on your tv....which isn't a possibility (without an android O.S based tv set)
[Android Apps and Games] Grace18:
I also liked the previous version of the app, however is there an opportunity to go backward to the previous one?
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
I uninstalled 15 from the manager, downloaded the correct 14.x (nonroot) for my phone, installed SAI from the market, installed 14.x using SAI.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Why would you use SAI to install v14?

V14 is a normal apk, which does not need SAI for install.
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
Maybe I got it confused w/ v15. I did try it briefly on my last phone. ?

Opened links from other apps wont show in watched history, idk if this is also the case in normal youtibe app. But is this normal? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
The last few days i'm getting some ads in front of the videos. I noticed that this only happens when i open a link on Facebook to a YouTube video. Never had this before.

Using the non root version on an Oneplus 6.
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
I am facing an audio video sync issue. This has happened again after a period of few months. I don't remember how I fixed it last time.

I have already done the following:

1. Cleared cache and data

2. When that failed, uninstalled vanced and micro g. Restarted. Installed latest vanced through manager (non root).

YouTube original app works fine. All other video players work fine.

Any other suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Bricktop600:
Hey Guys,

For some reason, vanced stopped opening youtube links as default,

Whenever I try to open a link it opens up in chrome browser as I have disabled default YouTube.

Any help will be appreciated..
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Holy Caramba....

It was a Bluetooth issue. Got it working.

[Android Apps and Games] Bricktop600:
Don't just go assuming that every question was not searched before hand..

I did a search before posting, keyword4: default, app, nothing of a "working" solution returned

Only thing I got as a was a suggestion on how u did it on your own device and how the op fixed it, both didn't work for me, both didn't work for me,

[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
If your screenshot is supposed to say something, I see you defined the app to not open links, the intended setting is the opposite.

[MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] I really commend your patience with this thread. Thank you to the Vanced Team for their work and for the complete instructions and troubleshooting methods in the OP. most people just want the instant satisfaction and don't want to do any work to get things working. for over 5 years I've been modding my android phones, followed instructions, read carefully what to do. I've consulted many threads (read, read, read)

Not once have I hard or soft bricked my devices. I thank all those @ XDA that mod and provide us a place to freely do what we want with our tech.

Casting doesn't work here. Tested with Chromecast (version 2) and Xiaomi Mi Box S.

I have Vanced v15.02.54 (non root version, installed with the manager)

Device: Oneplus 3T

ROM: CrDroid - Android 10

MicroG: v0.2.10.19430-vanced

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open YouTube Vanced

2. Click on the Cast icon

3. Select the Chromecast device

4. See the toast message: "There was a problem connecting to xxxxxxx"

No issue with Original Youtube version.

Same issue: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83120145&postcount=16159
[Android Apps and Games] Machine318:
Did a quick search for "casting" in this thread... seems to be a known bug that you can't cast with MicroG, I think I read that the previous version was able to and was recently discussed a few pages back.

edit: in this case newer is not always better, use the older MicroG. does the new version really provide a better service?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Chromecast issue is not listed in the Bug section in OP so... Thanks for the heads-up.

Where can I download the previous version of MicroG-vanced? I only found an old version here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled#qdy8ps6d9sho7

those won't work for vanced.

the vanced microG is modified to only work for vanced, while the normal version can't find vanced at all.

For Redmi Note 9 Pro miui v11. All works fine.

Thank you your working.
[Android Apps and Games] immelmann:
I don’t want to use the manager because I am not comfortable giving apps permission to make changes to the system (especially if there is no information about what the app is or who made it). I followed the non-root instruction and am stuck on step <Download latest version of YouTube Vanced>. I thought thats the thing about split APKs, that you have to download multiple files and SAI will use it to install the app. So I tried to download the Folder with highest version number

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled#vnzbm3g4f09f6

So what would be the link to the right file for step 2 of the instructions?
[Android Apps and Games] immelmann:
To cut a long story short, I still don't know which file to install as there are no "Vanced YouTube" files in the archiv. I just keep using the normal youtube app.

And there is a huge security diference between an apps like this (open source or not) wich can install whatever it want on you device and lets say any google app. Not least because there is a name and a physical address behind every app in app store. Which does not mean that I believe that the vanced maneger is dangerous but that I do not want to take the risk.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
While i agree with above that its the end of the off topic, in regards to what you say here, if you are not comfortable in giving permissions, then you are not comfortable with a smartphone and need to revert back to a dummy phone, or go back to something like android 4.4. They still sell them and you can always get a rom/make a rom for a device that will run on that version. I just bought a new device and guess what i had to do, grant permissions. Its part of how android is.

Non root v14 - disable stock yt, install microg, install vanced yt

Non root v15 - disable stock yt, install sai, install microg, install vanced yt
[Android Apps and Games] MPenguin:
Can confirm that this issue is fixed with the newest MicroG 0.2.11.202414-vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Not trying to be argumentative, but the statement "Not least because there is a name and a physical address behind every app in app store." is wrong. I have a playstore developer account which has NO physical address and the name has no easily accessible link back to the real/physical me.:cool:

The other thing to remember is that anyone who is trying to do you harm, is obviously someone who would also go out of their way to fake any ties back to themselves.

[Android Apps and Games] herkio1:
installing vanced seriously messed up my phone

My phone doesn't work well anymore after vanced. I think (Warez mention removed) is to blame, but i'm unsure. Any pointers would be appreciated. I was using the rooted installer guide from this thread. I first had to try many times to patch checking for signatures with (Warez mention removed), to install vanced. Finally it worked and I could install, but I couldn't undo the patch anymore (erasing patches had no effect). Also, many apps began giving errors and refused to open. My camera and open camera apps told me they did not have critical permissions to run. WhatsApp, vanced and the (Warez mention removed) from time to time couldn't run, but this behaviour is fickle and sometimes works for a bit after booting. Matlog gave the following error for apps refusing to open:

I had the nanodroid version of microg installed. I also tried uninstalling nanodroid and installing the vanced version of microg, but it did not install properly and vanced youtube refuses to run because of it. If someone could tell me how to clean up (Warez mention removed) after unlocking them for installation of vanced, and how to get the proper version of microg installed that would be great. Meanwhile, I have to flash my ROM again probably to get completely back to normal. I lost a couple of vital apps and functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] herkio1:
Thanks for the pointers, I did not know that the microg was meant to be parallel to another microg. I'll try the non root v15. Xposed does not work on my device/ROM. some more info:

1. YouTube Vanced exact version number: 15.05.54

2. Download link used: github /YTVanced/VancedManager/releases/download/1.1.0/manager.apk

3. Installation method: root method in read me on github/ this post xda-developers /youtube-vanced-apk-root/

4. Device. Motorola moto g5+

5. ROM (optional may not help). ArrowOS 10

6. Any applied Substratum overlays. N/a

7. Logs if any (upload to del.dog or Pastebin.com). Unavailable.

8. A brief description of the issue. See 2 posts up

9. Any installed mods to the system. N/a. Xposed does not work on my ROM so I cannot use it.

I have the same annoying problem on Oneplus 6t, OOS Q 10.3.4, rooted with Magisk.

I tried to uninstall both vanced and microg and reinstall them via vanced manager but the problem persists :(

EDIT: I don't know why but the "Contacts" permission of Vanced microg was disabled.

I activated it, i removed vanced microg from battery optimization and now it seems to keep access.
[Android Apps and Games] lilbrat:
A better question would be why does Vance need access to your contacts in order to work.... Op 6T, 10.3.5.. rooted..blah blah..blah...
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
And another one ?

I opened it in YouTube Vanced.

Please don't judge me for the video ?
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
It's YouTube Vanced, YouTube is disabled from day 1 on my phone. I'm not stupid ? and i use the non rooted version.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
for the same reason YouTube needs it maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] lilbrat:
As in my previous pictures and yours , you'll notice that the contact permission is off, Vance and the micro g came that way by default, not sure about original YouTube but the applications still work . Correct

Now in the post I was replying to be has issues apparently with contact turning on by itself.. but no mention of what versions he is using..
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
How to log something that"s already happened and that only happens sometimes?
[Android Apps and Games] gebxda:
Why is MicroG mandatory for installing Vanced non-root version in manager? Or I am missing something?

Until this "spilt .apk" new installation I always installed Vanced without MicroG without issues.

I installed the manager because it seem more straightforward than the split apks, but it doesn't allow me to install the app without MicroG.

I'm not interested in MicroG.

Thank you for Vanced, it's awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
OT, but it caught my eye. Whatr gave/made you thin that? Apart from the boot, and the missing ads and the different settings menu, I thought they were pretty much the same. Oh, and maybe the version difference, if GYT have made a UI change since VYT was cut.

[SARCASM]no, your worse![/SARCASM]:D

you watch kitten videos:laugh:

Ok! Thank you very much for the answer and sorry for not seeing that post in my search! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] naveen_reloaded:
Guy is there a way to make it pink version ? MY GF wants a Pink version :D
[Android Apps and Games] gebxda:
Your way of using YT Vanced is EXACTLY my way.

Did you tried latest version?

In my case I tried it, installed by adb, without MicroG and it work without issues, except when trying to watch a video.

Then is audio and no image and crash. But some reported the same with MicroG installed, so I don't know if it is really MicroG related or not.

However de last 14.x version works flawlessly, but at some point Google makes it mandatory to update... So, until then I think I'm stuck with v14.
[Android Apps and Games] aNGERY:
I've done my best to get it to install, but maybe I'm just not smart enough.

I'm on a OnePlus 7 Pro running OB17, rooted with Magisk 20.4

Smali Patcher module is loaded and confirmed working, with signature verification disabled. I've also tried [Mod Edit: Reference to warez removed]. I checked both necessary boxes and reboot, but it never changes them.

I've tried it without smali patcher loaded as well.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Not that it makes a difference to me, but you say your youtube "work(s) without issues" EXCEPT "when trying to watch a video" huh? isnt that the whole point of YouTube :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] stiggerby:
I have been using the magisk version, but had tried a couple of times to update to the root version.

I saw this post, followed your instructions and it worked first time.

Thanks man.

Oneplus 6t, latest firmware rooted with magisk, edxposed sandhook
[Android Apps and Games] gebxda:
Yeah, you're right, bad wording.

What I meant was: the app start perfect and every option (except the one about MicroG) works great. Not crashing without MicroG in the options or searching videos.

The problem is when you want to play a video, in my case. Audio works, image not, and it crashes. But, as I said, it was reported in this version with MicroG installed too. So, it's difficult to know if is MicroG specifically related or not.

Other than my bad wording (english is not my native language), any thoughts about the possibility of using latest Vanced versions without installing MicroG?

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Yes, you're right.

I'm a noob about obtaining diagnosable info. I will investigate and read about that and report back if I can.

Thank you! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] blowy666:
Maybe there is a point I don't see, but the more I read through this whole thread, the more I'm wondering what for problems the people have.

As far as I remembered, I downloaded the non-root version of YouTube Vanced and the microG version, installed both, started YouTube Vanced, logged onto my account and things were fine?

No need to flash something with magsik, no need to use ADB or anything else anyway?

So I wonder why people seems to need all this stuff to get YouTube Vanced to work?!?

And what is the huge advantage of the root version?
[Android Apps and Games] blowy666:
Nope.

I'm only wondering why people WANTS to install the root version when the version for non-rooted devices is pretty easy to install.

So to make it a bit clearer, I'm on the same page like you in the end. Just wondering why many users make it so complicated (I had no problems getting YouTube vanced to run, maybe that's the reason it's hard for me to understand some "problems" I'm reading here).

By the way, it's not a fine turn to react from above... ??

I haven't asked a question, so no need to put me in one drawer with other users... ?

"And what is the huge advantage of the root version?" <-- that one was more a question to myself, cause from my view there are no huge advantages.
