many apps don't see non-root vanced as YouTube, and will try to open YouTube videos in the official app(or in the browser if it's not installed).

you'll need to pass the link to vanced yourself(copying the link, using a playlist, or using an "open with" app/option)

some apps that look for a YouTube compatible app instead of an official YouTube app do correctly play videos through non-root vanced.

root/magisk vanced perfectly mimics the official YouTube app, so any app that automatically plays YouTube videos through the YouTube app will continue to do so with vanced..
[Android Apps and Games] reference2myself:
Ohhhhhh ok. Ya I guess I never saw that problem because I don't have the official youtube installed and everything passes just fine to vanced for me
[Android Apps and Games] swamp2:
Hmmm after working for a couple weeks I am back to stock Youtube. I did wipe cache and dalvik cache recently. Did that undo the detach? If not, then the above is not a permanent solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Yahoo1:
Use SudoHide Xposed module to detach YouTube from PlayStore and profit.
[Android Apps and Games] saoudien07:
Agree, SuHide works greatly!! And for any app you need, not just Vanced yt. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] swamp2:
Thanks, not sure I am ready to dive into Xposed... Reliable on Oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] saoudien07:
Yes

If no Xposed then go for the Detach from Play Store...

I've just updated to the latest non-root version (13.34.50) and am getting ads. Running RR 5.8.5 on OP5 with root enabled and AdAway. Does the non root version no longer have ad blocking? The previous version I had (13.28.x I think) did not have this problem; I only updated to get rid of the update nag. I don't use micro-g
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
nm...
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yep, this is the main reason I use the rooted version. I hated it when YouTube videos to played in the browser.
[Android Apps and Games] livehifi:
My "viewed" videos are not syncing with my account. I keep seeing the same suggestions on my Home over and over. This wasn't an issue before. Otherwise, my app works fine... bg play... no ads, perfect. No root on a Moto X4 Amazon Alexa edition.
[Android Apps and Games] loqjaw:
Thank you, someone else with this issue! I have the non root version on a Samsung galaxy s7 edge and I get ads. I do however use microg, but other than that it appears we are having the same issue.

Any ideas on this guys?
[Android Apps and Games] terry_mccann:
Any idea why I always get an update screen every day I open YT vanced? Cant download anything, it then says download not available. Can I turn this off somehow?
[Android Apps and Games] saoudien07:
Hi, I flashed the Magisk Module, "Vanced-arm64-vDark-13.12.60.zipfrom Magisk Manager. I obtained 2 modules as shown in the screenshot. Do I need to do something more??

I saw in some post above that it is necessary to navigate to /cache folder, and create there a file named "enable_detach".

Should I do that??
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
That detach module creates the file for you... I think, don't quote me on it. Does it show up in the updates of your playstore?
[Android Apps and Games] boparaip79:
Can I download the videos for offline usage?
[Android Apps and Games] saoudien07:
Yes it show up in update of Play Store, and I checked in /data folder, there is no "enable_detach" :(

Edit: finally I jumped into creating that file "enable_detach", and now the YouTube notif is gone from Play Store :D

Hope it wont reappear in few days...
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Ya then you must just put the file there so. Many users experience an issue with that though like the update creeping back after a couple days and YouTube automatically updates.

You could just uncheck autoupdates for YouTube in the play store or if you have xposed you can use sudohide module which I found today from another XDA user
[Android Apps and Games] j-a-d-z:
For sure you can, but not with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Mach3te:
For those having issues detaching YouTube from the Google Play Store, I used a solution I've used in the past that worked well. Titanium Backup has a tool built-in that detaches any app you want. I used this last night when I noticed that updates started showing back up in the Play Store. The option lives in the batch actions menu shown below. Hope this helps someone.
[Android Apps and Games] saoudien07:
Thx buddy

I unchecked auto-update for YouTube, and the notif was of course still present.

As I edited in my previous post, I create that "enable_detach":

About the sudoHide, I helped some users to discover it few days ago :p , but I switched to Magisk, and wanted to try the Detach thing... If it will reappear, of course I ll go back to sudoHide, which I love:D

Vanced installs, but is not in list of Apps

YouTube Vanced has been working great on my rooted Note 4 Android 5.1.1. Earlier, I had to restore a previous backup of my phone. I pretty much got everything back in working order, but now for the life of me, I can't get Vanced to install correctly. It doesn't give me an error, and appears to install without issue, yet it doesn't show up in my app list after installing it from TWRP. The ytva-universal-installer v3.0.zip and Youtube_13.34.50-1334502300_API17(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)(vDark-v2.0.2)-vanced.apk are both in the Downloads folder. From TWRP, I click install, select the installer.zip, and it completes with no errors. I then select reboot to system. At the home screen, when I check my apps, it is not listed anywhere, even a search is futile. This happens whether I previously had YouTube installed or not. If I did have YouTube installed, then after the Vanced install, the original YouTube app is gone, which I believe is normal.

So why would it not be showing up after the install? Its always worked great until I restored my previous rom backup.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Play Store updates will eventually return when using this method; instead, use the SudoHide Xposed mod for permanence.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Hey guys i have a question, the detach from playstore script how does it work? I flash it and it just gets stuck in the recovery! Please help. Thank you.

I have a problem. The videos do not play let's say after five hours of my phone being on. It may have to do with deep sleep but it really is a pain.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
I'd say it probably is to do with deep sleep, I get the same issue when streaming local content over Chromecast in other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
You want to download videos to view on YouTube app itself? So just hit the download button. Uploaders have the option to enable or disable the download feature for their videos. So you must see the download button active or inactive on some videos. See in the images you'll get my point. And the ss are from youtube vanced itself.

Dark theme ?

Hey guys YouTube recently updated to add dark theme and watchtime data ....will/ has vanced already been updated for that ?
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Vanced has dark n black theme both. About watch time, there's a take a break option.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
dark theme has been an option in vanced for a long time.

the watchtime data feature will be brought over on the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] littleshiro:
Great application!

Is it possible that Google Assistant uses YouTube Vanced Edition as default? every time that I try it, she says that YouTube is not installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Works for me...
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
Depends if You use NonRoot version oor Root/MAGISK one. Former ha different package name than YouTube, so Assistant may not see it as YouTube, latter is YouTube and Assistant have to see it if it is installed.
[Android Apps and Games] littleshiro:
Do you have uninstalled original YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] :
A have this feature since i installed the non root version 13.32.52 1 month ago ??
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
ah, indeed.

it might've been a silent feature that had to be enabled server-side.

this results in some people getting it early, and the feature suddenly popping up without an update.

I think the dark theme was similar, some people had in it the official app for a while now but I only got it yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] phoberus:
I have problems with the background playback. I was on DU and now it's the same after a clean flash of OOS (Oreo 8.0).

Problem:

FC if I switch to background playback for some videos.

For other videos the app FC after some minutes playing in the background.

I would be super happy if someone can read my logs and look after the problem.

Device: Oneplus 3T

Rom: OOS 5.0.5 (latest)

No xposed and things like that, only magisk

Trigger picture-in-picture

How to trigger pip? I found it quite hit and miss on my redmi 5 plus with MIUI 9.6.5.0 Oreo 8.1.0 based rom.

Could you add that very feature in the video control?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
MIUI is the culprit.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I had the same exact issue when I upgraded to version 13.34.50. Downgrading to 13.28.54 reduced 90% of the crashes with background playback for me. Please let me know if you experience similar results.

Hi,

I am using Youtube Vanced noroot on a Samsung A5 2016, stock with no root. When playing a playlist, after some minutes the streaming stops. I need to manually tap on play to let it start again, then the streaming stops again. This does not happen on original Youtube, although youtube does not let screen lock or off.

The issue happens also with older revisions.

I tried searching for this issue in the thread but have no luck. Could someone suggest any hint?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
You don't need play services but without it you can't sign in to YouTube.

You may be able to sign in using the non root method with microg for vanced.

But to answer your question you can use it no problem you just won't be able to sign in
[Android Apps and Games] loqjaw:
I'm not sure if anyone is seeing my messages but here goes again...

I'm running the latest non rooted version on a Samsung galaxy s7 edge running Android 7.0 and I'm getting adverts on YouTube Vanced.

The other features (dark theme, play in background) work fine, but I still get just as many adverts as the main YouTube.

I've disabled stock YouTube completely, so is there anything else I should be doing such as a menu toggle or anything?

Such a shame as I love this app, but it seems that the main feature is ad blocking and without this there's other similar apps out there.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Then use online service like keepvid or online video converter.

For those having issues with history and resume videos. What I do is Uninstall then reinstall both YouTube Vanced & microg vanced when updating the app.

hello I put the Vanced apk into the download folder with the root installer and also the "ytva_use_this_settings" and the "detach_from_playstore.plz". When I was doing "use this settings", I was doing "detach=yes". Then I flashed the installer.zip in twrp, but afterwards the YouTube update is still displayed. Can any of you tell me what I did wrong? I am using Android 8.1 on the Oneplus One.
[Android Apps and Games] luimx:
Create a file named enable_detach in /root/cache/ folder and reboot your phone. Or just use Titanium, it has a function to detach it.
[Android Apps and Games] phoberus:
do you have the magisk install zip for this version? Can't find the file in the web and I only have newer versions. On their website there are only the apk updated

Finally I came back to sudoHide!!! The best and the most reliable way to avoid YouTube from updating itself!!

I connected my phone, few min after, started updating few apps, everything ok till here, then I checked in notification panel to see what app is being updated :confused:. Was youtube!!! Fast I disconnected from Wifi to stop it!

2 days ago, I stopped Auto-update before removing it and deleting it, before to switching to Vanced!!

By the way, I remember last week I installed Vanced and next day it was absent from my fone. Probably the same happened, luckily today I catched it.

I also checked in folder "/cache", the file I created 2 days ago named "enable_detach" is absent.

So hope my experience is going to help others,

Go for sudoHide, reliable and 100% without surprise.

Maybe detach method with TB works, cant confirm, did not try it. Went for the one I am sure about.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
The ads are removed. There is no trick or button to hit. What ads are you seeing? Unskippable ads before videos? Just a layout ad? Some regions are forcing a single ad under the video. The developers are not getting this ad so they can't fix it. How about a screenshot or anything useful instead of just repeating.

And just me nitpicking but, I really dislike the word advert. Just sounds weird.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
i been trying the latest yt vanced. i place apk inside installer like always. but i end up with error 1 using twrp.

Thank you for your response, friend. You do realize that it would've been less words answering my question, right? ?

I live in the US where native download feature is available, I believe, but didn't see it in this app. So I asked.

I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything, cause I really do appreciate all my responses and love XDA to death, but I really do miss the older days when people here were more helpful. It wasn't about who's the smartest at reading XDA posts and can point you to the search and that Google animation the fastest ?...

I admit I'm rusty with my XDA chops now that I'm not so root hungry, but I really do miss the times we especially used to embrace the "n00bs" ?.

Again, my deepest gratitude to you, this community, these developers and all the other ones whom I'm forever nerdly debted to... But can we please go back to helping some more? Apologies if I upset anyone with my brief soapbox moment, I love you all ?. Thank you!

Sincerely,

I understand what you are saying but it's not just XDA that is like this. These days people don't take the time to search anymore, they want everything handed to them on a platter, they want answers immediately, & people are very demanding these days. No consideration at all.

If you take a look at just the posts in this thread alone, the majority of them are questions for answers that are clearly in the first post or have been answered already, many of them the same question that has been answered numerous of times. This just creates unnecessary clutter & makes the thread long. So what happens when some does actually try to search first? They have to go a million pages to try & find their answer. Thankfully XDA has the feature enabled where you can search just the thread being viewed but again, many people don't use it anyhow. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sprawal:
i am not able to sing in. help please
[Android Apps and Games] TomiLynch:
I absolutely do realize it would have being less words, but there are some rules here on XDA and nobody seems to be willing to follow them.

I don't know if you've been on the original thread for this proect (https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900/page804). It was exactly 804 pages of the same 4 questions repeted over and over and over. You can take a look and see it with your own eyes.

As [MENTION=5129886]shouren04[/MENTION] said, nobody cares to search anymore. Searching for the word "Download" on this thread gives you 44 results, out of 52 pages. That's almost one time per page!!!!

And the worst part is you don't even have to search for this cause the answer was given by the developers in the second post!

People are getting demanding on updates, are getting demanding on getting quick answers for their questions and on getting solutions to their problems, but those same people don't care to take a few seconds to read the first couple of posts, to search or post a log when they encounter a problem.

So I'll rephrase your question:

Do you realize it would've been less time (and less clutter on the thread) reading the first posts or searching than posting a new question and waiting for an answer?

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rood, but you'll see what I mean if you stick around this thread for a while.

Just above my post is a good example...

Only the non-root version is min api16. Also answered before.

Love the project! Needed to play music in the background, and wanted a simple way to play my youtube playlists. This is perfect!

The only questions I have now are:

1) Is there a way to add a "Music Only" quality setting, just to save data so we don't have to download the video when music playing in the background?

- I come from Windows 10 Mobile, which had an awesome youtube app "MyTube!" This app had a "music" only option, which just streamed the music, and kept the thumbnail of the video up.

2) Anyway to make this cast with a Google Home (or other Audio-Only Casting Device) easily?

- You can cast youtube officially with the browser to a Google Home. But you can't do it from within the app? LOL The Youtube Red (Youtube Music) app allows casting to audio-only devices though. Is there anyway to add the casting ability to Audio Only devices in this easily? Like my Google Home?

EDIT: also 3) remember the playlist sort option. Always have to change it from alphabetical to most recent. Lol

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] ProFragger:
You're not rude bud, I appreciate your dialogue. Like I mentioned, according to the FAQs, the app should support downloading, it doesn't, so I asked for a confirmation. FWIW, I did also search for the word "download"... Couldn't get a clear answer that way either or perhaps my search didn't fire correctly.

With all that said, I do see the behavior you're pointing to, and I 100% DO NOT condone folks asking for ETAs and demanding information, especially since the generous developers of this project don't even accept donations! I meant that's next level freeware contribution and hats off! But surely, you can see that my question didn't fit the mold of not following directions and/or reading?

Either way, appreciate your help, these amazing developers, and forever this community ?...

Hope one day we get an update to this app with fixed black theme support ?... Cheers ?!
