I tried ridding by 3 for menu and disable Google ads via Google. No dice. My VPN is not working either.
[Android Apps and Games] monoculero:
Same problem with non-rooted: stuck at splash screen. I'm using the last both version of micro-g and youtube-vanced apps. Waiting for a possible solution. Thanks for the work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Lone Otaku God:
It is still 14.21.54 and youtube had got update even to 14.50.53! When we can suppose a update out you guys?
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
please provide a changelog between both releases and let us know which important feature you are needing!
[Android Apps and Games] rimkashox:
[MENTION=6442564]monoculero[/MENTION] Found a way to make it work:

Step 1 / Even if on rooted device, download and install via adb push, MicroG and Youtube Vanced

Step 2/ With the Activity Launcher app, open MicroG setting and log in to your Google account there.

Step 3/ Since the GCM token thing is about messaging i.e. notification, with Activity Launcher app, access Vanced settings and under Notifications, disable all!

Then Youtube Vance launches and appears to be working fine, apart for the notifications that are turned off. Don't know how accurate all of this is, but it works, if anyone know more, explanations are welcome!

P.S. Also added my android id here https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/, don't know if it's related or not (that alone didn't solve the problem), just thought that it was useful to mention.

[Android Apps and Games] Team Vanced:
Semi Urgent Announcement to XDA community, does anyone know of or is willing to make an app that can disable apk verification(not spoof) on android 10? The only two I am aware of are smali patcher https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053 and nandroid patcher on XDA but they only work on pie and below and in other places only warez apps seem to have this function. This will be needed for installation of future versions of Vanced Root version so if anyone in the community is willing to help that would be greatly appreciated! For anyone with security concerns apk signature verification can be turned back on after installation it just needed for initial install.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
I'm just telling the change, you asked for it. I don't use vanced on my Android 10 device. I have YouTube Premium. Literally never said it's a problem...
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Hello, my question is specific. If I download a music video on YouTube vanced, I can then play it only as audio. In other words, I will use YouTube vanced as a music player listening to the downloaded music videos.

This is possible? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Turn on background play option to use Vanced as music player for your offline videos but only downloaded on Vanced would work.
[Android Apps and Games] Sivabalan:
When we are playing videos in background in audio only mode the data usage will be saved as video is not playing or vanced will consume the same amount of data??
[Android Apps and Games] ahnaftaj:
Lesser amount of data would be consumed because Vanced would be streaming audio only.
[Android Apps and Games] shegeloaf:
Sorry i am hopeless. I hope you find someone to help.

1. Is it safe to install yt update from play store?

2. When vanced gets updated how can i also update it in magisk? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Yes but this will make in-video ads return and eliminate all adVanced features as it will overwrite Vanced.

When Vanced gets updated (very likely in 2024 :silly:), the Magisk module will be updated shortly after and you will then find the update in the download section of Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] jacobyo7:
You might be better with Youtube Music in this case

Search "youtube music mod apk" on google, first link you can find the modded app, both for magisk and non-root. I only tested the magisk version and it work well

YT Vanced for videos and YT Music for... Well, Music :p perfect combo :good:

I have version 3.17, but 3.23 is aviliable. I'm just too lazy to update :silly:

Auto Repeat in Background not working

Hello. I just registered to report a bug:

Auto Repeat in Background Play doesn't seem to work anymore. I have it set up so Auto Repeat itself is turned off and Auto Repeat - Background Play is turned on but this setup no longer works and videos just stop during background play. It worked just fine in old versions of the app but not anymore. I just recently updated the app hoping it'd get fixed but to no avail.

By the way, yes, Auto Repeat does work on background play if the general "Auto Repeat" option is turned on but that's not what I want. I just want "Auto Repeat - Background Play" to function again, please.
[Android Apps and Games] gioblecch:
is youtube vanced not working anymore or it s just me? I am using the non rooted version, 14.21.54.

Hi, i use Vanced for months on 2 phones and my friends use it also without any problems. Now i bought a new Tablet (Lenovo Tab M10) with Stock Android 9.0 without root. I deactivated the YouTube App and installed:

- the MicroG Package: https://vanced.app/files/MicroG/microg_YouTube_Vanced_0.2.6.17455_28052019.apk

and then

- the Vanced App: https://vanced.app/files/Vanced/You...eabi-v7a_x86)(nodpi)(vDark-v2.0.8)-vanced.apk

i try to sign in, type in account name + password and after that i get a message to check my connection. But i don't know how to fix that problem. Can somebody help me?

I also tried to delete all Google Accounts, reinstalled both, deinstalled Chrome ... I don't have more ideas :(

Spotify also have a modded apk you know :cyclops:

Personally, I'm part of a family membership (15$ for 5 premium accounts) so I don't use it, but my girlfriend have the modded apk for almost 2 years now without issue :good: search "spotify modded apk" on google, then find the website "rexdl", it's the 3rd or 4th result I think. I always download it from this website because others sometime have fake apks, less than 1mb with the wrong app logo, I don't want to risk myself installing this crap. Rexdl never had a fake apk for me so in my opinion it is the way to go ;)

But you can consider to keep paying it to encourage artists, if you were paying it before then you can afford it, 10$/month isn't a lot for what it is :)
[Android Apps and Games] calbertrick:
Im rooted, but have both vanced apps installed (system one disabled since play store insists on updating even with auto-update & scanning off). Last night after a reboot, i found my micro-g was gone. I keep the apk on my sd card, so i reinstalled it, only to be told my device isn't "compatible". WTF, Google?! So i -f installed micro-g, no luck, -f installed into system priv-apps, still the same. Vanced itself works fine, the micro-g has evidently achieved "lucky patcher" status. If play services is in your system, micro-g isn't gonna be there, too. So, I can't sign in, but at least YTV is still my default link-opener.
[Android Apps and Games] Arie Wismoyo:

[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Nothing newer than what you described except to try installing Vanced MicroG first then VYT, if you have not tried that.
[Android Apps and Games] SethiusMaximus:
Does anyone know where I can find an older (official) Magisk version of Vanced to download? I'm trying to roll back to 13.50.52 for arm64-v8a (oneplus7 pro).

I looked on zanezan's Magisk repo page on Github, but when I try to flash that zip in Magisk it says it's not a Magisk repo... No links on YTV official page for repos either.

Is this app still being supported? I'm starting to see ads places never before. Any ideas? Is it possible to block the merch ads that comes up for each YouTuber? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
This app blocks in-video ads. As long as you don't see them, it is ok. Merch ads are region-specific, thus they are not possible to block. You need to use a VPN with unsupported country for merch to get rid of those ads
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
"merch" ads aren't treated as ads, they're links to the channel's "other content".

even with YouTube premium(which gets rid of all ads) you'll still see them.

Can u plz share the steps to flash it for nonrooted ph ?

As i am little confused, will there be any conflict after flashing microg as i am using gapps?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Vanced MicroG is purely for non root Vanced to allow sign in.

AFAIK it should have no effect.

Make sure you install the MicroG APK then VYT APK. There's no flashing for non root - install through package installer.
[Android Apps and Games] miqdaddy:
I have already installed vanced and microG. But for some reason, yesterday, it didn't allow me to sign in to my google account. "Please check your network connection" popped up and it didn't go away even after I re-installed the 2 apps many times.

[Android Apps and Games] Andy_Cool:
Youtube has stopped the Miniplayer from playing video if the video is marked for kids & many non-kids related videos including music & other benign stuff are by default marked for kids. These make the videos stop in the miniplayer & searching gets frustrating. This apparently has been done to comply with some US law. Youtube idiotically applying the law globally.

Is it possible to mod it in order to allow constant playback like before?Thank you. Much appreciated.

The pop-up screen doesn't work all the time in MIUI 11. (Invisible pop-up problem)

In all the Xiaomi phones, in MIUI 11, Youtube Vanced pop-up screen doesn't work well.

It failed 2/5 times.

Pop-up is invisible 2 out of 5 times

and It works well 3 out of 5 times. (Facing this issue from last 2 months)

We see an invisible pop-up if we accidentally tap on it.:

[IMG="https://preview.redd.it/qjhf9uq5ija41.jpg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&cda5aa47"][/IMG]

Please look into this and solve the issue.

Please make the changes so that the App is stable for all the platforms / OS / Devices.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Nobody can do that unless users (you) report correctly. In computer sciences there is no such thing as 2/5 times. If it works, then works. If it doesn't, then it doesn't. If it works sometimes, then it is problem of user setup, not the app, i.e. app behaves normally but sometimes it is forced to not behave that way. So unless you can report properly with logs and all, we can't tell you why your device behaves wrongly (e.g. RAM management/battery save or else).

Nobody is obliged to solve anything. Please refrain of using imperative verbs as "look and solve it". This is disrespectful towards devs.

And do not start your report by saying "all xiaomi phones". You can tell us the phones that you own and setups that there are in, but you cannot practically own all xiaomi phones with miui.

In addition update will not be out till it gets ready.

Same here.

Starting Jan 2020 I'm having this issue with the app. Either Youtube changed something or it's coming from Android 10.

Using YouTube vanced daily, runs great, no problems, big thanks for it! (Using magisk repo)
[Android Apps and Games] fuzzychicken:
I have been using Magisk repo for a while and it is awesome(est) mod.

I have a few suggestions. I don't know where to post or if it is possible to implement it.

- Is it possible to skip the watched videos from the feed? For some odd reason, algorithm thinks that I want to watch the same video again !!

- The election season is heating up in the US and I have absolutely no interest in following that on Youtube (cable TV is enough). Is it possible to install a filter to filter out politics? It will be a huge favor for some of us that do not want to follow politics on YouTube..

Thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
That's a youtube problem. Google needs to figure it out. Happens with me also. No worries just mark it not interested whenever it'll pop up again. It helps the algorithm to learn your interests.

Couldn't have written it better. This is definitely not an user-side issue. Vanced YT is nothing more than useless junk atm, and that's really bad.

Of course you couldn't have written it better, when referring to your previous form of expression.

I came here from Kiwi Browser app thread. There's an extension (since google nuked this feature) that allows user to play music from YouTube and SoundCloud on a background even without logging in (it's working for approx. 30 minutes of playback and also when phone is locked).

Then i noticed this app and so i gave it a try. Just installed latest version of Youtube Vanced module via Magisk repo on Pie ROM on my J5 (2015) and i have a few reflections...

Sadly, It's not playing on bg for more than 1 minute while there still keeps popping up notifications about YT premium (and - btw app is not in dark mode). :(

What's good is that works sync with latest version of microG pack by nanolx + ad blocking really works; ALL ads are gone, which is awesome thing (still after months, big up guys!). :good::good::laugh:

Hope you'll not get overloaded by an impatient and unpleasant users and sooner/later will release nice (dark :D) update ... Cheers.

No Internet Connection

Suddenly Vanced cant connect to internet in my 2 devices, while I definitely can open normal youtube.

Help pls...

[IMG="Help"]https://i.imgur.com/NzeysCj_d.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] ParanoidVisitor:
Oh .. and here' a logcat (--deleted--), when app crashed after approx 2 minutes of bg playing.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Heya! Thanks for writing up that thorough report. I too use the Magisk module of Vanced. I'd say it doesn't need microG but you're probably pointing out that you've replaced G services entirely on your device and Vanced fits right in, that's good to know!

The fact that it stops playing after a minute doesn't seem like it could be caused by Vanced itself. I can let it play for hours while my device is locked. There are three aspects different in our situations:

We have different devices (OnePlus 6T on my end)

I rely on official Google Play Services

I'm using dark mode, can also be found in Magisk repo

The first thing for you to check would be battery optimisation: Settings > Battery > Battery optimisation and check whether you find YT in that list. If it is, select it and choose 'Don't optimise'. For me it isn't even in that list but I'm unsure if that's the same for everyone.

Then, are there any other apps/mods/tweaks that may focus on battery saving? Things like Naptime or Greenify may interfere with background apps. Try disabling those if any are active.

You may also find default system settings that limit drain by cutting off apps when the screen is off. In that case you can usually open the recents menu, select the three dots on the YT window and select 'Lock'. Though that could be a OnePlus feature, I'm not sure.

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] ParanoidVisitor:
Hi. Thanks for your answer, you were right! In battery settings i found this option and after i switched it off, app keeps playing music on background smoothly without crashes. Great!

I also finally found dark theme switcher in general settings, nice.
[Android Apps and Games] BigLisy:
Had the same problem as above with locked device playback, but OOS doesn't allow you to change the battery optimization of System Apps. So I found a workaround, completely uninstall YouTube and remove the vanced module. Install YouTube from playstore, it will be a user app, set it not to optimize battery use, then install the vanced module and uninstall updates.

The app will be a system app again but it will retain the battery setting.

(Also fixed delayed subs notifications)

Small tip for OnePlus users out there.
