The problem that stops v14 working on your specific device *MAY* be a different reason for it workiing or not on others device. So unless there is a specific issue with v14, I dont know how anyonbe could tell you why a specific app does not work on your specific device.

As for v15, I am running v17.03.38. I would aim a little higher than v15.
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
I have a rooted device with v14 of the rooted vanced app, is there any way to get it updated to v15 or v16 anymore? My YouTube stopped working today for comments and notifications, so I'm desperate to find a way to keep it with vanced.

Thank you

I'm going to try the manager

An OP above said that if you use vanced rooted then installing the official YouTube app will eliminate vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
Also I think v14 was phased out by YouTube, they said they were going to do it last year, already my subscriptions weren't working so it was coming
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Didn't he explicitly say that he downloaded Mngr from another site?

If Mngr is downloaded from another site, that mngr may be also installing Vanced apps from another server (not from the Vanced servers that are shut down)

Somebody could have downloaded the Vanced stuff, made little changes to the Mngr, put all to his server and you could still use it to install Vanced

However, it's up to users to believe or not are they 'safe', i e. genuine Vanced (root/non root) apps

Anyhow, sharing that link through this thread is prohibited
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
If you read recent posts, you may find the user who claims he downloaded Vanced Mngr from ANOTHER site (see also my post just before this). Ask him to send you the link in PM

Also, if you go way back through this thread (when the story about Vanced closing was published) you can find the posts with links to the cloud sites where particular users downloaded the Vanced stuff and instructions how to manually install (root) Vanced from those downloads

I believe those posts were not purged but please don't ask me to search for you🤣

You found a way but you're asking for a method? Mixed signals here. As for updating: no more support here. Though you may find a thing or two when you look hard enough ;)

[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
What "why is that"

Why 16.29.39 should not work?

ipdev yesterday posted and provided a link how Goggle stopped supporting YT v14.

It's not about Vanced or not, Google forces YT users to update the app.

So far they stopped supporting two years old (?) v14, but apparently still supporting the year old v16

I'm talking about the ROOT Vanced, that gets recognized by YT as the official YT app (same package number).

Hence when Google stops supporting YT v14, it means for all official YT v14 users and all Vanced root YT v14 users

I'm not talking (frankly, don't know those details and not interested in) how and why NON-ROOT Vanced does work or does no more work for somebody.

Non-root Vanced comes with different package name and YT could easily distinguish (if they want?!) is it official YT app or non-root Vanced...

---

PS:

Sorry, maybe you asked why am I stuck on v16.29.39 and did not upgrade to v18.03.38?

Good question

I explained in one of the posts when Vanced v18 was released.

One reason (I don't recall, maybe I tested and listed more reasons) was that LSPosed, Gravity box, Media, Skip tracks works fine for me on v16 and does not work at all on v18 - hence I will keep using v16 as long as YT does not block it
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
I'm assuming you are using the non-root version. In that case, simply install v15 or newer of Vanced YouTube app using any package manager and it will work. You can download the apk from apkmirror.com.

If you want to login with your account, then install microG too.

Uninstall all updates to the official YouTube app and disable it under settings.

Are you saying Vanced manager is downloading from anywhere other than its own servers? I don't think they have servers around the world to cache from.

The last time i checked about a week or so back, the manager was working fine (including downloads).

Nothing illegal about it. This thread belongs to the Vanced developers and they have requested members not to post any links. If anyone does, XDA may delete that post. Nothing more to it.

Zgfg posted great advice on how to find Vanced = look around this thread the time when Vanced was banned. There you can find where to download it. There is even one source for every single release of Vanced with all the files root and not rooted.

I'm still looking for how to install it, but zgfg has good advice, just follow it. I'll try to repost when I figure out how to install it on my device (rooted).

If you know how to install the app on non-rooted devices (that never had Vanced before, till this week I didn't even know that was possible) I would be interested in that for my phone which isn't rooted (F-Samsung for US note 9) and I would love that.

Thank you for your posts zgfg!

All new 13.x versions create some random bugs:

1. Sometimes video start 720p (i clearly set 1080p). 2. One or two times app autoplay next video (i turned off this of course).

But most annoying bugs:

3. App doesn't have sounds/vibrations for any notifications. 4. Sometimes app stuck bugged for no reason and doesn't load any content (buttons are visible but tabs doesn't have anything). Only restarting app fix this.

When you scroll down a couple of seconds the data seems to repeat itself

At least the thumbnail image

But the titles are different yet you click on them and they just don't load

It'll spin it's circle for about a minute

Did it will just say error with no details you hit the retry button and no matter how many times it'll hang for a minute and come up with retry

I hope this is a free "rusian" service; inc no ad revenue. Most companies and people are currently blocking any financial dealings with Russia; for obvious reasons. If it was paid, I certainly would not be sending nay money their way.

I'm actually shocked that YT is delivering videos to Russia under the current political climate
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
If you'd pay for a Russian VPN specifically for this you might as well get YouTube Premium, lol.

Google has a crushing responsibility to keep information accessible to Russian citizens. Of course they ceased their commercial activities there so it makes sense that a Russian VPN allows watching videos adfree. The real question you should ask yourself before doing so is if you really want to run your traffic via a Russian server right now...

* But then I've noticed on my newer devices (Pie, Q, and R), doing that exact same procedure will cause the app to force close after rebooting, making it necessary to follow the steps I outlined in my previous post that I linked at the top of this post. Not really a huge deal, just annoying and need to redo the settings and preferences. However, it does seem to update properly without issues by simply adding just one additional step before the upgrade - disabling or deleting the old Magisk module first and rebooting, then updating.

`fix youtube force close ,myphone(android 9),this method work for me`

when i use SAI install youtube.apks ,setting sai >close signature

[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
When installing from magisk, are you talking about using the magisk manager like any other app on your device or are you running magisk from recovery?

If using the magisk manager this sounds pretty easy, just need to follow the steps in order.

Finally what is the comment about using SAI To install YouTube and your phone being cracked? Does using SAI do something to your phone? Is there a specific way to use it to prevent problems? The OP process just said to use SAI to install the version of YouTube that matches the version of Vanced you are installing.

Of course that it updates because the root Vanced uses the same package name as the official YT.

Playstore sees as the official YT app but an old version, and updates

Please scroll back and read/learn about detaching - it has benn asked and abswered tons of times

I use HideMyApps (HMA) module for LSPosed as I noted several times here and posted a guide for detaching (hiding) YT from Playstore

Two phones, on first using HMA for 7 months, on the other for 3 months, and my YT was NEVER updated (on both phones I use Vanced root 16.29.39)
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
Zgfg

So you use HMA in LSPosed instead of TeMeFI to detach YouTube from the play store, correct? I am just trying to verify that.

I'm trying to install Vanced 16.29.39 via Magisk as it was posted here.

The steps the OP posted for installation via Magisk are as follows with my notes and questions in [brackets]

Is where I put to use hide my apps in the order where it should work to prevent updating? I guess I can turn off wifi and data to prevent it also, I'm guessing that is where TeMeFI could also be used.

[Unzip files]

[Install SAI installer which allows split api installation]

[install LSPosed]

[install hide my apps module for LSPosed ]

-Uninstall all YouTube updates (btw, YouTube must be a stock/factory system app)

- Clear data for YouTube

[shouldn't you clear this before Uninstall?]

- Delete YouTube Vanced Magisk modules, REBOOT

[is just unchecked\disabled fine?]

- Update stock YouTube with .apks to same version as current Vanced (using SAI)

***[is here where you run hide my apps???]***

- Install YouTube Vanced Magisk module, REBOOT

- should work now without crashing

Thank you for your help
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
How did you get the non root version installed and working?
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
I got a apk that don't need split instaler and the microg apk.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
TeMeFI is for use if you don't have exposed installed. Running YouTube without data kinda sounds useless, as the videos require data to play :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
I don't have LSPosed installed

I have Magisk v19.5.2019092201

It looks like you said that in Magisk I need to

1. Install Riru

2. Install riru-lsposed

3. Install HMA

BUT

In the second post you indicated that Riru does not work anymore with the latest Magisk and Zygisk-LSPosed must be installed instead in Magisk.

My question is, is Riru broken in all Magisk versions and does not work anymore, so I need to update Magisk and get Zygisk to run LSPosed? Or will Riru still work in older versions of Magisk like I have?

Thank you for your help
[Android Apps and Games] minionhunter:
I didn't understand your process, but I reread it a few times now and I think the you update it to relink then cancel it before it updates to trick it.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Riru is not 'broken' but Riru is in collision with Zygisk, hence if you use Magisk v24, you should no more use Riru modules - either Riru or Zygisk will not work properly

Therefore, you have Zygisk-LSPosed module now (instead of previous Riru-LSPosed or even older EdXposed)

Please find a thread on XDA, named Magisk + Zygisk or so, that is devoted to the new Magisk v24 (if you use it), and read the OP posts 1-9, maybe also the post 14 there - all about setting the new Magisk v24 (OT for this thread)

---

Zygisk is part of Magisk v24 itself and is needed for DenyList/hiding root - Magisk v24 has no more MagiskHide, but DenyList instead

Currently, Magisk is on v24.4 (Stable, Canary)

Only if you are still on Magisk v23 or older, then you can use Riru

---

PS: I see now your point of confusion:

- my first post you quote was from before Magisk v24 was released, hence I talked about Riru

- in the later post I mentioned Zygisk since it came a day or two after Magisk v24 (Canary) was released

- You say you use Magisk v19.4. I never tried, hopefully HMA should work with your Magisk v19.4 + Riru-LSPosed
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Yes, I use HMA for detaching YT from Playstore

I tried TeMeFl and it worked but since I need HMA for the other purposes, hence I switched to HMA half a year ago or so

With HMA, you hide particular package name (in case of Vanced root, ie on case of YT: com.google.android.youtube)

Therefore, it doesn't depend on YT version you have installed at the moment of configuring HMA

You can have some old or even the latest YT installed while configuring HMA to detach YT from Playstore

Then you uninstall YT, install YT v16.29.39 (as part of Vanced root v16 29.39) and your YT will be still properly detached from Playstore

Or, you first install Vanced root v16.29.39 (and immediately turn of Auto Update for YT in Playstore) and then install LSPosed, HMA, etc

Once Auto Update for YT in Playstore is off, hopefully Playstore will not auto-update YT while you are still setting up detach - but some users claim that on the long run, Playstore updates YT even if Auto Update is disabled, that's why detaching is better

[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Use: the post/guide by the author who repackaged Vanced root to Magisk modules:

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-root-nonroot-vanced.3758757/post-85452853

How it works:

- you first install official YT v16.29.39 from Apkmirror, as the so called split/bundle app

- Ie, in its /sata/app/... folder, there will be not a single apk file but several apk files, one of them being base.apk

- then you install his Magisk module that will find the folder /data/app/... where the official YT v16.29.39 was installed and the module will set that the patched base.apk (that was released by Vanced as part of root v16.29.39) will be MOUNTED by Magisk over the official YouTube's base.apk (on every reboot)

In fact, Vanced Manager, while installing Vanced root did the same but it didn't pack it to the Magisk module - Manager created the standalone post-fs-data sh script for Magisk that also served to mount their patched base.apk also on every reboot

---

Anyway, I actually don't use the mounting method, but I hard copy the Vanced base.apk over the official YT base.apk (into that /data/app/... folder) as explained here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-root-nonroot-vanced.3758757/post-86581503

Or see also - about the same method but from the time of Vanced root v16.02.35 and maybe some links for download do not work anymore:

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-root-nonroot-vanced.3758757/post-84442581

That way Vanced root survives for me even if I boot with disabled Magisk (bcs, I don't need Magisk anymore for mounting the patched base.apk - the official YT base.apk is hard-code overwritten by the Vanced patched base.apk)

Instead of Magisk and MiXPlorer (or another root explorer) to hard-copy Vanced base.apk over the official YT base.apk, one could use TWRP, Advanced, File Manager (but there it might not be easy to find the folder in /data/app where the official YT was installed)

Two posts later a user (I was guiding him) confirmed that the method worked for him

Your patience and taking the time to help me out with explanations has been incredibly helpful.

I'm trying to decide between using HMA and TeMeFI and I'm leaning heavily towards HMA. I'm assuming that just installing Riru plus Riru-LSPosed plus HMA won't screw up my tablet.

Should not. The point with Systemless Magisk modules means that when you uninstall them, all their changes must go
