Unable to log in with MicroG

Non-root user here. I changed my google password recently and then reinstalled the latest versions of Vanced and MicroG. Whenever I try to sign in on Vanced, google tells me I have the wrong password.

I've tried reinstalling Vanced and MicroG (old and new versions) more than once. I tried to delete my old blue Google account, but there was nothing there to delete.

Any tips?

edit: solved problem, I was entering my password wrong.

Hey! Guys, I'd like to know if this app is safe? I mean I am a non-root guy and I'd like to download this app as I want to get option of background playback. I want to know if it's harmful or something to my phone or os. Also if takes a lot of ram or battery usage when playing in the background? Please help!!!
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
If it was harmful it wouldnt be on XDA with over a million views and 9k comments since the thread was created almost a year ago.

Also there is a magisk thread with a crazy amount of views and comments and the old threads are the same.

All you have to do is read the comments.

Of coarse its safe.

And when it plays in the background it only streams the audio which uses a lot less resources than having stock YouTube playing a video.

Its brilliant on both battery and RAM

As stated in XDA rules search before posting and read the last ten pages of a thread before leaving a comment.

Its not hard to do a bit of research. And I mean that with the up most respect I'm not trying to slam you or anything

Hello,

I am on a rooted HTC 10 and I totally uninstalled YouTube, then downloaded and installed the repo version for Magisk, rebooted and everything and I am not seeing anywhere the Vanced version, am I doing something wrong?

I have a problem with this app and i hope u guys can help me.

Vanced always gets killed after some while, if its running in background.

sometimes after 10, sometimes after 30 minutes. i cant figure out the reason.

I'm on nonrooted huawei p20 with EMUI 9 and of course i know about the aggresive management of apps.

i already deactivated the battery optimization under apps->apps->special access->battery optimization---to "not allowed"

and under battery->app launch i did set it to "manage manually" ("auto launch","secondary launch" and "run in background" are activated.

But it still gets killed after some while.

the most weird thing is that i have this problem only with playlists or if i listen to some short videos with autoplay.

I can hear a 2 hour video without the app getting killed.

does anyone have a solution for this?

Anyone having an issue where videos aren't being marked as viewed? Using the non-root variant with MicroG
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's in the op. You're probably using a brand account or have multiple yt accounts on one Google account. You'll have to merge them to get history working. It's a limitation of microG. Not Vanced devs issue so they can't change it.
[Android Apps and Games] cas239:
Hmm it's always worked fine, been using Vanced for over a year. All of the sudden I've had this issue, no changes to my Google account or MicroG

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

Was an Adaway issue. Whitelisted *s.youtube.com and all fixed. Odd that it started out of nowhere but :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I didn't mention that because you said non root version. Guess I should have asked if you, like me, are rooted but using the non root version. LoL. Glad you got it sorted.

P.S. it's "all of a sudden", not "all of the sudden". No, I'm not that kind of "jerk", just making conversation. Seriously. I saw someone here say "all the sudden" and I regretted not passing on the info. Just so if you write it again, someone isn't silently mocking.

This may be a solution for people having trouble getting the microphone permission while trying to use YouTube Live. I'm not able to really test since I've never used it before and have to wait 24 hrs. It did let register my phone number though where previously I was getting a pop up telling me I needed to grant microphone permission.

This is with a system install with the black themed 14.06.54 version and 6.0.1 OS.

With a root browser go to /data/system/users/0/runtime-permissions.xml and open with a text editor. Look for the package name com.google.android.youtube and add the line circled in the screen shot below. Then I cleared data for Youtube and rebooted.

Maybe someone would like to test it that had already been registered before and see if you have any luck. Apologies if this has already been fixed or posted already.

Edit- clearing data didn't seem to be necessary when I tried it on my other phone and also the permission still doesn't show up in the app manager.
[Android Apps and Games] JAYNO20:
This worked for me! Still doesn't show up in the permission but it does allow for going live on YouTube now. Thanks for the fix!

On Samsung J7 Elte Andr6.0.1 TWRP 3.2

Hello.

I cannot install Vanced Root on my Samsung J7 ELTE 2015. I did all steps, uninstall original YT with RooT App Remover. Boot into TWRP install ZIP with APK inside, log shows no error. But when phone starts i cannot find Vanced YT anywhere.

I'll appreciate any help.;)
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
The zip must be in SD card of internal storage when flashing make sure it is not in external SD.

Also if you use your external SD card as adoptable storage it wont work.

You don't need to uninstall YouTube either you just have to uninstall updates if it is a system app.

Removing YouTube with a root app remover doesn't always get rid of all YouTube files which may also be the issue.

Also read the second post for how to do a bug report properly as you are lacking information which could help you

Hello.

I have a small problem with YT Vanced, maybe someone will be able to help me. To the point - Search history does not work for me. Just simply after tap the search bar there is nothing there. The history of the watched videos works normally but not search history. Can I fix it somehow? I use the NON-ROOT version of YT Vanced (14.06.54) with MicroG Vanced (0.2.4-81) on my Galaxy S7 (Exynos - Oreo 8.0) It is also worth mentioning that on the vanilla YT app I have no problem with search history but I do not care to use a vanilla app. I will be very grateful for helping me.
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
The best way to make it work is to put empty installer zip and YTV.apk do download folder /sdcard/download without renaming anything. Then boot into TWRP and flash the zip. Should work. Putting the apk into the installer zip worked on previous installer version, it doesn't work for me on the latest.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Just for clarification, the installer zip isn't empty. There's a ton of stuff in there dude. These devs worked hard to make an elegant installer.
[Android Apps and Games] AndrzejDwo:
Yes of course, by "empty" I meant without the apk. Thought that's obvious.... My bad.

Hello.

First sorry because I'm French and I have a poor English language.

I have installed the last version of YouTube Vanced but without MicroG.

I tried to log in with my Google account and it work although MicroG is not installed.

So is MicroG useful ?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] joluke:
Root install doesn't need microG
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
MicroG is needed ONLY with non-root Vanced. Not with TWRP-flashable or Magisk- flashable. You should have read that here
[Android Apps and Games] backchich:
Hello.

Thanks for your reply.

I have read that MicroG is for non-root.

I have a non-root Galaxy S7 and I can directly log in parameters although MicroG is not installed.

That's why I ask for if MicroG is useful or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Then you either not logging in to vanced YouTube, but original YouTube or you have had installed microG before and you forgot.

Quick story short: you need microG by vanced team to log in to non-root vanced YouTube app. I dont know your setup and your report is very short. More info by [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION]:

The original Youtube app is desactivated. MicroG isn't installed.

I have ever used some months ago Youtube Vanced with MicroG and I know how it works.

If you are non-root so try to uninstall MicroG, then log-in directly in the app Youtube Vanced last version (seems that MicroG-services are included).

Where can we find the changelog ?

Edit : MicroG is installed although it was not installed. I have not downloaded it. May be the Youtube Vanced app install it automatically ?

Edit 2 : I have reinstalled YT vanced and MicroG wasn't installed. I don't understand because I know that MicroG wasn't installed (I check and clean regulary my installed app for memory gain). Let's say that I'm wrong. Sorry...

I know that you're not trying to slam me or something and FYI I know those rules of xda to do some research before posting a comment and for that matter I've been into xda since 2013 and rooted a lot of phones, flashed so many custom roms and mods on those and have used a lot of custom apps and patched apps before but due to some reasons I stopped ‘playing’ with my phones and therefore I posted this comment here as to be assured before ruining another phone due to customization.

Fair enough valid point :good:

I was just trying to put it politely before someone else intervened and caused a scene :silly:

Anyway you have nothing to worry about its a wonderful mod made by supportive devs and i would highly recommend you install.

If you are paranoid just install the non root version with microG for vanced and if you are not happy just simply delete both apks

Search this thread for adaway. It is likely the culprit and the search result will tell you what to whitelist.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have never run the non-root version, but I question if the root version actually needs root, as opposed to "simply" needing to be flashed via a custom recovery? Now, most people who use a custom recovery also have root enabled, however, when I look in Magisk there is no Vanced specific module, and there is also no entry showing that Vanced has been granted root. Also, whenever I open Vanced, no root grant toast is displayed.

Is it really using root? or is it a case that the "root" version just needs to be flashed in a custom recovery? which does not absolutely mean you have to have a rooted android instance.
[Android Apps and Games] -RKI-:
I do not use adaway because you need to have a rooted phone for it (Rooting for me is not an option because I still have a warranty for the phone). Also I do not use any other app that blocks ads so it should not be a problem. Generally YT Vanced works very well on my phone, just as I said before only search history does not work. :(
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
I was running the root version without having a root method installed a couple weeks ago and everything worked just like normal. I think you're right, it really just needs a way to be pushed to the system but that's it. I've said this before, I think, but imo using the magisk module just adds potential problems with almost no benefit unless there's something I'm missing. I do like to download the new versions from inside the magisk manager but I always just extract what I need and copy/paste to the system.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I get that. I was just in a hurry. It wasn't meant to sound irritated. More of a wink or nod to someone (you) who actually knows.

More of " it's not "empty", it's packed with goodies. But you of course know.

If that sounds any better. I meant telling new users it's empty might lead to confusion. But still understanding that you know it's not.

Does that make sense?

Long day. my apologies

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

You're correct. It doesn't need root privileges to operate. Only needs root access (even by means of a custom recovery, which can write to /system) to be installed to the system partition.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Changelog - same as official of same version.

No. YT Vanced does NOT install microG automatically.

If you have installed YT Vanced before with microG you dont need to install microG again, as I said, it is already present in your systen from previous trial.

I have already mentioned these in my previous post.

Exactly as kevintm78 and madbat99 said. It needs root only to put the files into system. I suppose "root" in this instance means that the app is to be installed to /system, not as 3rd party as in non-root one. The naming can be a bit tricky. E.g. it could be changed to "custom recovery" rather than root, but that also could be puzzling. And also, changing it right now would confuse even more users.

Your principle is correct. But. For example I have a temporary TWRP (because I want to get OTA updates) that I remove before rebooting from recovery (img restore). So when I flash TWRP, I flash magisk and MODs, and then I wipe recovery and reboot to normal. After that I have root access with magisk, but no custom recovery. Right? So for me the choices get down to 2: magisk or non-root.

For that principle, if I am not as advanced user as kevintm78 and I cannot change system files manually, I can't use "root" vanced, even though I have root, per se.

So I understand your confusion, but at current situation, as I wrote above, changing the name would confuse even more users.

You can't install and use your version of microG on ROMs already running microG.

Please consider working with either the Official microG Project or [MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] on the Nanodroid-microG Project to incorporate these changes into either of these versions, for people that don't want to Root their devices, otherwise they can use the Magisk Module.

microG isn't something someone simply installs alone, in the context of what microG represents, as I'm sure you're aware of, it's a replacement for the Google FrameWork/Services.

I hope you will get with Setialpha and have these changes added into NanoDroid-microG, since he is very active on the project.

I hope you will work with Setialpha and I look forward to seeing these changes in NanoDroid-microG.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your response! That's the thing. Originally, I don't have any YouTube system app at all. I had the YouTube vanced magisk version 13.47 whatnot, the one before the 14.06 whatnot. Before the latest update, it was just fine, but the moment I upgraded / updated it, it was gone. So what I did was I tried to install YouTube and make it into a system app to see if that was the problem. It was not. No changes at all. No error happened during the upgrade either.

They modified it so it is something one installs alone. And it recognizes non root Vanced new package name, and is only for it.

hi, YT Vanced is used by me (and not only me, for sure) for learning purposes mostly, watching educational videos on learning languages and so on. Therefore it would be great to have an ability to choose manually desired playback time (for example, 2 seconds, 3, 4) and not being limited by only 5, 10, 15 and so on. And one more issue, sometimes the video needed to be paused without the shadowing of the screen and showing lines and buttons to make some notes from the screen. Tell me, please, is it possible to do so? Many thanks in advance!

For 2,3,4 second playback, you should address it to YouTube app devs.

About getting clean screen when pausing, just click elsewhere on screen after pausing and you will get clean image.

If you're installing with TWRP, the install log would help. Or if magisk, install log might show something. Also, Android version, device, all that jazz

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

If you installed with TWRP, why are you installing APK? The installer zip is supposed to find the APK and install it for you. You put the installer zip and root version apk both in download folder of internal storage. Flash the zip. It handles it all.

To uninstall, put the uninstall.plz in the same folder (download) with the zip and APK, and flash the zip again. It will uninstall it.
