For those who uninstalled preinstalled YouTube.

If root installation with TWRP failed to install the YouTube Vanced (no icon in launcher, not listed in apps) you may try this.

- With a root file explorer like MiXplorer, go to /data/app and search for "com.google.android.youtube-X" where X is a number and delete those folders if exist.

- Delete "/data/data/com.google.android.youtube" too if exist.

- Put the root Vanced apk into "ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip" using MiXplorer or else.

- Put "ytva_use_this_settings.sh" if using custom settings, and "ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip" in /SDcard then flash it with TWRP.

I need help guys.

When I install via magisk, all seems well until I open the youtube app.

The app goes to show the credits, but force closes shortly after.

any help?

Did you theme it? Make sure subs is off for this app. If that fails, delete app data
[Android Apps and Games] dgrayboy:
theme? i tried both normal and black versions on magisk manager, both just crashes

what do you mean by subs is off? the app crashes before i can do anything...

tried clearing app data, no joy

You shouldn't be getting any ads. Unless they are actually embedded in the videos you're watching. Vanced team removed everything that calls unskippable video ads.

What ads are you getting? Screenshot
[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
Full screen in 18:9? Are you watching 18:9 content??? Or are you trying to warp and stretch the video? Or chop off the top and bottom ???

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

subs = substratum. Theming the app via substratum could cause issues since it has its own theme support and substratum thinks it's stock YouTube.

The log doesn't go back far enough.

Is there anything weird about your device? Intel CPU or anything like that?

I would try opening the App Info screen (hold finger on icon and select the info icon from pop-up, or for older launchers drag to info, or find app in Settings->Apps) and clear all data for the app and see if that fixes it.
[Android Apps and Games] spcd:

you can go adfree for months, and then suddenly have the same ad 3 times in 1 day.
[Android Apps and Games] Guilhermex12:
I just want to thank you guys for adding the Swipe controls

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] KnifeFed:
I've never been ad-free for even a day using the regular YouTube app. I think it works like this because non-root Vanced has a different package name and so when casting to my Shield it uses the generic Google cast receiver instead of the built-in YouTube app. I notice for instance that I can't use the play/pause button on my remote while casting from Vanced, which I can when casting from vanilla YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Might be.
[Android Apps and Games] Macmoc16:
Exactly, when I try to enlarge a video not in 18: 9 nothing happens. Contrary to what happens to with previous versions
[Android Apps and Games] borisboing:
I don't have that problem, instead I'm unable to use the new style minimised video. It started in .54, auto/new/old all give me the old style minimized videos and rotating to landscape no longer takes me fullscreen.

.54/58 NonRoot DarkTheme.

EDIT: the above is true for the last two versions on AOSP marshmallow with the nonroot dark vanced (before that it worked as it should). On Lineage 14.1 (android 7.1.2) and the Magisk black vanced I experience exactly as you describe - new style works (and auto full screen in landscape) but old style causes the video to disappear when minimised.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:

appreciate your time taken to help :)
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
The Vanced devs didn't make microG. They just made it work with Vanced YT. It's a limitation of microG. To have history work, you need to merge your accounts, or live with it.

[Android Apps and Games] Naudiz:
I can confirm this. Latest Magisk version from June 17th. Bummer, because I prefer old style.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That's great. But the devs already said that the current slider bar and preview while sliding is close enough and they don't plan on wasting time trying to implement another fast forward method.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Works for me (slider preview) and works the same as swipe forward or backward. It's the same thing, but you need to be able to swipe a centimeter higher for some reason?
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
You are correct in that it's not available in every country but it's not a YouTube red feature. Or well, yes, it's there too but countries without Red can still have the save offline feature and it's free for them.

Do you use regular Google Play services or Micro-G?
[Android Apps and Games] dgrayboy:
I use pico gapps

I think I solved the problem on my side. i removed the vance magisk module first. Then I did a dirty flash of my ROM, followed by pico gapps flash and then wiping Dalvik Cache and Cache.

After reboot, i installed youtube vance via magisk manager. It seems to be working fine since

Any idea if doing a dirty flash of gapps is a good or bad idea?
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
With magic...

Okay, seriously. On full screen, swiping up/down controls the brightness (left side) and the volume (right side).
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Normally, you would wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps if you want to change gapps package. Without wiping /data (to keep it dirty).

[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
I'm guessing dirty flashing the ROM is what fixed it. Dirty flashing gapps shouldn't be required if your ROM has addon.d support (most do), but it doesn't hurt to flash it. In many cases, most of the apps are being replaced by updates from Play store on /data anyways !

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

You didn't answer the question as to which you wanted. In either case, I'm betting most people wouldn't want to miss part of the video nor have it distorted which is why you aren't getting the option. I can't help further as I don't have an 18:9 screen. I think you should accept that videos are at 16:9, so you will have bars, like the first 16:9 screens playing 4:3 video

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
those bars can burn in of you watch too much.

the normal behavior is for YouTube to crop the video down to 18:9.

this still works for 16:9 videos on 18:9 screens(for me, at least) but not for 16:9 videos on 16:10 screens, or 4:3 videos on any screen.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Although not as bad or noticeable as old CRT issues, today’s OLED smartphone displays can suffer from that problem. That being said, it’s quite difficult and rare to notice unless you know what you’re looking for, and it usually takes a lot of screen on time before any such errors will appear.

Areas of the display that seldom change, such as navigation buttons or the notification bar, are the most likely areas to experience this problem.

It would take quite a bit of YT videos to cause that.

My .02, Modern panels have much longer lifespans than early OLED smartphones, and even then burn in was rare. Just don’t leave a static image on the screen 24/7 with the brightness set at max!
[Android Apps and Games] dgrayboy:
yea, but i didnt want to perform a cleanflash yet, i did the flashing during work haha. but doesnt seem to have any problems so far

[Android Apps and Games] Macmoc16:
On this you can also be right, but if it is a feature that certainly some people used, what sense does it take if it had already been developed?
[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
Bars would be black. Black pixels are off. Off pixels can't burn in. And ... how much YouTube are you watching?!?!

Personally, I wouldn't want the video cropped at all.

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
OLED screens can suffer from uneven wear.

indeed pixels that are off can't burn in, which is exactly why OLED burn-in occurs.

all pixels except the ones displaying black will undergo wear, and as a result you get bars that are brighter than the rest of the screen.

and I'm not taking any risk.

it probably took about a month for this to become noticeable on my old S8 when I used a black navigation bar, and I intend to keep this note 8 for at least 2 years.
[Android Apps and Games] Cuzeg Spiked:
Yeah. That's why I don't have notification bar always showing or anything staying static black or not. Static things if staying for too long do cause a burn in for Amoled but the default notification colour for you won't cause a burn in as you explained. Black pixels being off in apps however isn't an issue since you would only be in it for a certain period of time rather than constantly like the notification bar.

YouTube Vanced or OGYoutube dark theme is very handy though for those that have the option as not only it can turn off pixels because of being OLED black but easier on some peoples eyes, even more so with blue light filter like CF.Lumen or Twilight, etc. At least its an option.
