Hello

Can I Disable apk signature verification, Install the last version as explained, then enable back the apk signature verification ? :confused:

YT Vanced will still work ?
[Android Apps and Games] Skip88:
Oh wait... Disable apk verification works for Android < 10 only ?

Since I'm using Android 10 I can't install anymore Youtube Vanced ? (or only the bugged non-root version ?)

edit : beh.. I ended by installing the non-root version (and associated stuff to let me login)...
[Android Apps and Games] sacrificialpawn:
Quick suggestion: with the popularity of Vanced (it's awesome!) could we do like Magisk does and have one dedicated thread that has new release and/or other dev team announcements and is comment locked? Then have a separate thread for people to not read and post the same user-level error questions over and over again? Just a suggestion and thank you for the awesome app!

The vanced.app website already serves that purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] pratik_193:
Since Vanced team is super busy in releasing the updates, i was just thinking if the patching tuturial can be released by Vanced team so that any other developer who is willing to take up patching the latest version can do it easily.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
Not necessarily true. The website isn't being used for the insight and documentation of work in progress or when a new version is released (with more information about what kind of bugs have been ironed out).

I guess that was the point of the previous post.

Hello, is it possible to create a shortcut on the desktop of the smartphone from a playlist found on Youvanced?

Thank you.

Bonjour, est-il possible de créer un raccourci sur le bureau du smartphone d'une playlist qui se trouve sur Youvanced ?

Merci.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
please include a translation for non-English posts.

YouTube vanced does not offer this functionality, but you can use a third party app for it.

I know it's possible with this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tasomaniac.openwith

you share a playlist with the arrow button inside the playlist screen, select "add to home screen", pick what app to use(vanced is an option), and a shortcut appears that will always open the playlist in your preferred app.

other apps that can place hyperlinks(shortcuts to websites) on the home screen will work too, but may not let you pre-set a preferred app to open the shortcut with.

I assume you can't have more than one window popped out like both vanced and twitch , I tried but when vanced window was popped out twitch wouldn't, is there anyway around this?

So some multi window pop out setting?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It is possible to view both of them if they are not both using native pip mode. E.g. MX player (which doesn't use native pip mode) and Youtube Vanced (uses native pip mode) can be seen in two different windows as pip. But you canNOT play both of them simultaneously. One automatically pauses when you play the other.

And also, if they are both dependent on native pip mode, it would not work (if you have one in pip mode, second one will not appear). E.g. chrome (fullscreen video) and Vanced YouTube will not appear both in pip (but can be in pip separately).

For more, you can google it and check detailed information, which is off topic in this thread. There is no mod for now to make two or more apps to work in pip simultaneously. But even so, that is off topic here, so you can open a new thread to discuss it, provided that, you have some input in topic, rather than blunt question.

how many days does downloaded videos stay offline before having to re-download in vanced? is it the same as original youtube??
[Android Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Hello,

I have this very weird issue. I saw few people mentioning similar issues, but with no solution.

I've installed latest 15.05.54 root version successfully with SAI (signing APKs ON). Had to uninstall original YT via Titanium Backup before I was able to.

After installation - the icon appears in the app drawer, I launch the app successfully, the app closes with no FC message and the icon is gone from the drawer!

I tried with legacy version - to the same effect.

No idea how to solve this.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
You must toggle signing off and follow the steps given by the developers.
[Android Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Sadly I'm getting this error when signing is set to off. Am I missing something?

[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Yes, you are missing the part telling you to disable apk signature verification. If you can't do this (might be tricky in some devices), better install non root.
[Android Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Thanks I will give this a try!

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

OK, I successfully turned off the apk signature verification (installed edxposed + corepatch 2.2) and managed to install APKS without signing it with SAI.

And sadly the effect is exactly the same.

App now installs successfully - upon launching it - it closes after few seconds. Icon is gone from the app drawer...

This is very strange - I just have tried to install the official app from the store - and the effect is just exactly the same. What the hell is going on???

Another update.

I installed ES file explorer and upon installing the official YT app, I received a popup message that following apps are being uninstalled: YouTube - as if the system automatically removed this application.

I do have play protection turned off.

Any idea why this might happen?

Hi,

I promise I did a search but could not find an answer.

I am on Android 5.1.1 (LineageOS 12.1). Is there a way to disable apk signature verification for that version of Android 5? Of course Smali patcher is for version 6 and up.

"1. Disable apk signature verification. (Don't ask us how to do it. we don't recommend doing it)"

My device is rooted with Magisk.

I installed a previous version of vanced with installer script (and it uses Magisk) but when I start vanced it requests Google services.

Which I was trying to avoid on this tablet.

Thank you.

You may need root, try without root skiping the su command

In a terminal go and type this

su [TAP ENTER]

setprop persist.sys.miui_optimization false [TAP ENTER]

Then enable optimizations, then disable, now it Will install

[MENTION=6841137]Logan[/MENTION]

Anyone here using vanced YouTube app in OnePlus 6

When I double tap for forwarding video for multiple time in succession it causes app to freeze, sometimes app doesn't respond at all. I have to force close it

Actually this problem is not ROM specific. I got this issue on every other ROM

Only on Android 10 based ROM

Never have this issue on pie

And issue is random.

Here is log

05-21 11:10:32.297 I/InputDispatcher(1036): Window '6df3dc4 com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.apps.youtube.app.WatchWhileActivity (server)' spent 7212.2ms processing the last input event: MotionEvent
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Works fine on 6t with stock rom but on 3rd party roms I have seen that issue. Only on stock does it not happen.
[Android Apps and Games] JumboMan:
Just double tap in multiple time quickly. You will face with bug. I tried on stock oos too
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I just did. Skipped almost Sit 5 minutes by tapping and nothing happened. Could an issue with the normal 6 not on the 6t.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I am sure you noticed that the logs (sorry, the log...you have sent only one line which is of I level (F: Fatal, E: Error, W: Warn, I: Info, D: Debug)) are not mentioning any kind issue at all. It just says you skipped forward for 7212.2 milliseconds. Not says anything about "freeze" or "ANR" (which is "app not responding").

Basically, this doesn't look like a good report at all. But even if it was a good report, as [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] said earlier here:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post82597111

I will NOT even consider helping you because I DON'T have same device, ROM or setup like you. This eases my work and I will continue my life without even trying to help you. There is no checklist to answer questions and there will not be anybody assisting you with your issue unless you find a person that has exactly same device setup like you and is willing to help you (unless [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] needs you to be on same location and use same WI-FI with same IP address as well; consider asking him that)

This is what XDA has turned to right now :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Wow you mad bro? Look there are many things that can effect things. As an example in my rom Pip doesn't work nor does things like app patchers. Both by my doing and both throw errors.

If you can't understand it then maybe you shouldn't be helping here.
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Please don't comment on a post if your not even willing to help, yes I agree that because you don't have the same device or rom means that you may not be able to help trouble shoot their specific problem, that doesn't mean you need to say I won't help you. Just leave it for someone that is running the same device and possibly even same rom to comment.

All this bickering needs to stop. You are very knowledgeable and I'm sure you have even most likely helped me at one point. But people with genuine questions (Not the ones asking the same questions that have been answered 100 times) shouldn't feel afraid to seek help of those who have more intimate knowledge of how things work. And yes people, please provide in depth descriptions of the problem or even better, correct logs, so that others can help.
[Android Apps and Games] sacrificialpawn:
I'm on my OnePlus 6, OOS 10.3.3, using bluspark kernel and I don't have this issue. Just tested it by forwarding thru several videos at different lengths of time, the longest was for 70 minutes. Never froze or unresponsive. Have you tried uninstalling Vanced and reinstalling? Reboot phone? Clear cache of Vanced? All basic stuff, but doesn't appear to be a universal issue
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Exactly. And does it not work for for ANY other app as well? Or only for Vanced? Did you try to troubleshoot about it? I am guessing, no. Or probably you did it in your "high userbase" telegram group.

I am also guessing you will remove the smiley app from your post.

If by "not understanding' you mean to say "I know everything I don't need to report and you have to believe my words" then it is not that I don't understand, but it is that I don't care if you don't care enough to report properly.

Didn't I show him why the info was not enough? Didn't I explain what logs he needs to provide? And yes. I stopped helping right after I was forced to stop by moderators and ex-moderators. But they are doing even worse job than me. Zelendel didn't even tell the user that he needs to find ANR or W/E log to report an issue. Or at least send logS. His log (really... only one line of a log) is just an info.

No, I deliberately mean I WILL NOT help him. I only help him to report properly. But if I even find the reason, I will leave it to those others to help.

I am done helping AND being the bad guy at the same time. I am really done. I am bad guy now. Who knows how to help but will not say it.

And OF COURSE NOT. Obviously "not having same device and setup" is not the case. And it can never be the case. Else, developers can help only users who own same devices as them. Others will be doomed. Do you think that is the case? Really? I was willing to help, but they startled me. Now let them diagnose an issue with an Info log.

:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
Obviously installation and set up is universal for all devices and roms. But I doubt the devs have had time to test there app on every Android device, and because of this, after installation people may encounter device or rom specific errors. So the user may benefit from other people's experiences who are running the same device and rom as them. Of course the flood of people asking how do I install this app on xxx device is frustrating, but after installation one could forgive people for asking if an error may be device or rom specific.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
"Asking" was never an issue. It is the "way of asking" the problem. If you ask "I open a video in vanced and it closes app. how to fix it?", even if you provide your device name and root method, it is obviously not enough for neither troubleshoot nor evaluation. As written above by [MENTION=7449744]sacrificialpawn[/MENTION] this is not a device specific issue. And it is not supposed to be. There is only a minute amount of difference that is present in devices (and those are 99% China-made devices (I don't mean as location, since many non-Chinese brands also have factories in there) as oneplus, xiaomi or huawei). There is a way of reporting, which is providing all your setup to the tiniest detail including logs of failure. That is always the case. As mentioned millions of times already - remember analogy of doctor appointment.

And yes, there are tons of similar reports in this forum (maybe more than thousands) that have gone dismissed because it didn't mention any detail onto which others can hold and help. The reason I am being such clingy, is so that users in need can get the help they need. Otherwise those will be answered by users who think Info logs can help diagnosing an app not responding issue (and tons of similar). Or even worse, they would be told that "it is your device setup issue and neither us nor developers can help you". I am being the bad guy so that the answer would be provided and help given. But as I said, if even moderators don't care, then why should I? Let these incomplete reports get drowned (or answered improperly) with others that were omitted.

I will answer my own question in case someone is trying to find an answer:

How can you disable apk signature verification for android 5.1.1?

I have Magisk on my device.

1. Installed Xposed Framework under Magisk (the one that works for Android 5.0 to Android 8.1)

2. Installed XposedInstaller(3.1.5) from the instructions in Xposed Framework description inside Magisk Manager

3. Installed Xinstaller by pyler. (another alternative might be InstallerOpt (last updated January 2017) a fork of abandoned Xinstaller)

4. In Xinstaller chekmark Expert mode. Then on Misc checkmark Disable Verifying signature (reenable this as soon as possible)

Of course this is if you don't want to use a warez app that is not allowed to be mentioned in these forums.

Ads are shown regarding google ads that are registered for your account. You just told us that you visit/click on weird sites, and your gf doesn't.

BTW it can take some time for ads to pop up. It doesn't have to be right after installation. It depends on many factors as location/usage of VPN and etc.

Even after I managed to install Root Vanced on my Android 5.1.1 device with Magisk using SAI after disabling signature verification....

when I start Vanced 15.05.54-root-default I get this message "YouTube won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device"

I thought one of the benefits of the root version was not needing Google Play Services so no need to install MicroG.

Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong? I have wasted many hours in the last three days trying to get the root version to work.

Should I give up then and install nonroot version with MicroG? That one works with no error.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No matter you use rooted or unrooted, YouTube requires google services, be it the one installed to your system, or Vanced microG.

And no. The only benefit of root Vanced YouTube (other than the vanced options obviously) is explicitly replacing Google's YouTube. There never was ANY claim about leaving out google services.

Hey,

Is it just me or is this new release extremely unstable? It seems to be crashing every chance if gets, eg. When I play a video and switch the screen off, it keeps playing, but when I unlock it the all crashes, I can't login and if I try every time I tap the top right account icon to login the app crashes, if I tap the bottom right icon for the library, it crashes as well, and all that on the rooted version (magisk 20.3, custom aosp 10 rom for Huawei P10 Lite, made by DarkJoker). Prior to this, when vanced was installed through the module, it worked like a charm, but yeah, could any one help me find a fix for this?

I don't have issues with Vanced on my Google certified devices but I NEVER update them any longer since that's what broke my Vanced on the TV boxes.
