Absolutely love this app works perfect on my note 10 plus unrooted version so nice to not have ads ect and love streaming in 4k even tho the note 10 plus isnt 4k

I'm not asking for an update or anything like that as it's working perfect for me but just wondering is this app still active or is it been abandoned as I'd be gutted if so

Also if not would be great to have a option to download videos need some nice offline hdr videos to watch :victory:

Thanks for the great app

Apps like this keep me away from ios and the lock down system lol

Hi,

I've given up at least for the time being of getting this app. to function correctly on my amazon fire 7 2019 edition tablet. The app. itself installs correctly but I still can't get logged into my google account, I keep receiving the prompt that the google servers can't be reached at this time, try again later ! In the past I had the same issue, but since my memory has gotten worse lately I can't seem to remember what i did to fix it.

why if I have a new movie notification and I watch it on my computer, the information about it does not disappear from the application and I still have a notification about the new movie (in the form of a red dot). similarly, if I watch a new movie on the phone, on a PC, there is still information in the form of a red dot that there is a new movie

Have you checked your system hosts file? I do recall some entries getting added to my system hosts file (located at /system/etc/hosts) out of nowhere, and they did seem to be affecting the use of google Play Store/YouTube on my OnePlus One back in the days. Still no idea what added them, but removing all host file entries (except the default entries) fixed the issue back then.

Hello,

I have done this many times but this time it doesn't seem to work.

I just rooted my phone again.

1. Use debloater to remove YouTube.

2. Install Vanced from magisk.

But I can see the app at all. It says it's installed but it doesn't show in my app drawer.

Thank you for the help

Hi,

As I've stated previously, I'm so glad to be a member of these forums.. especially since people actually try and help other people. To be honest, I hadn't even thought about the host file, all I know is something is telling google that there's a problem on my end when there server's receive a request from me to log in. At least right now I have uninstalled both the vanced youtube app & the micro g app that I had installed on my tablet. I have the same exact item's installed on my android phone and it function's correctly. Of course my phone has a newer android o.s.on it and also it's a standard version and not a fire o.s. that's been modified by amazon. I had to resort to using a different youtube video offering that isn't as good as the vanced youtube application. I'm still pondering how to get vanced working correctly, the good thing is that I did have it working correctly once upon a time. At this point in time I would even consider performing a factory reset on my tablet if I thought it would help.

Thanks,

David
[Android Apps and Games] HawaiiFiveO:
That sounds like the classic issue when using debloaters to try to remove system apps. You'll have to dl the vanced apk of your choice and then you'll need to use XXX to rebuild it with a new signature and then you will be able to see YouTube Vanced in your appdrawer and use it without issues. Oh of course installing the apk will make it user app but you can always make the install as system app in XXX if you want to, the act of the app remains the same.
[Android Apps and Games] adek89:
I do not understand this. can you show me how to do it? I don't have any current Adblocker list

Q. Is history working ?

A. Yes! Make sure you whitelist *s.youtube.com in your adblocker. And non-root users need to check that they are not using a brand account due to MicroG bug. If you are, you need to merge the accounts to get the history working (YouTube Settings) Merging process will clean the current history.
[Android Apps and Games] reganEZ:
Thank you for the reply. What is XXX? I don't mind it being a user app.

I don't think I know how to rebuild it with a new signature either.

Should I reset the phone, and try again?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
It is a warez app which shouldn't even be brought up here on xda as it is against forum rules. Probably the most hated app by developers.

A more developer friendly method would be to use a root uninstaller app (not debloater magisk module) and delete YouTube entirely from the device and try from scratch.

Titanium backup is a good app to use to uninstall system apps from your device.

So delete magisk debloater, get titanium backup, delete youtube and flash vanced :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
You may have already checked but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. Have you looked in settings/apps just to make sure that the debloater isn't disabling the app instead. If its disabling the original app then the vanced one will also be disabled.

Oh, another note. You may want to steer clear of titanium backup as a debloter as well. It's caused a couple issues with Note 4s and it looks as though to be the culprit with a Note 8 user (a few pages back). Maybe it's just Samsung related though
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:

Umm, I think XDA cut out the relevant information in your post. This place is falling apart.

Luckily Tapatalk auto generates a signature in the post from the device it was sent from and if my assumption is correct than this is my response:

There seems to be a proper order in which to install the non root version. Microg before vanced or visa versa. I believe [MENTION=401295]chook[/MENTION]06 has posted this info before. You can search by user name or also respond to this post as it appears to be working for them.

Ps. I'm sorry [MENTION=5922777]GastonC[/MENTION]. I've actually been in a really good mood lately and just thought it was funny... Its probably not

I'm new to this. Have it working and it's great. Is it possible to stop Youtube updates showing in the Play app? Just in case I hit "update all"....
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Disable the app (roll back updates) if option available in app info page although from time to time somehow Play Store still updates it (as reported by a few users previously. For the root version there are some things to do (available in the thread) but I'm not familiar since I use non root.

If using non root then no issue with GYT as they have different package names.
[Android Apps and Games] MrElectrifyer:
Yeah, I've been noticing similar on my Note 8 lately. The freaking Play Store still auto updates apps overnight even though I have auto update disabled. It attempted the same yesternight (noticed the connection requests in my AdGuard Premium filtering log). Fortunately, AdGuard Premium gives me the option to block specific apps from accessing WiFi or Cellular internet while the device's screen is off, and I've done just that with scroogle play services and the Play Store on my Note 8.

So far, no more out-of-nowhere automatic updates when I clearly have it turned off. Alas, just another prime example of why scroogle can't be trusted with anything.

Eitherway, back to your problem, consider following the process I described here and consider getting something like AdGuard Premium to control the in/out traffic on your device.

Very annoying the app gets updated over night, auto updates off, detached it from the market with TB nothing seems to work :( using magisk repo..
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
I had the same problem awhile back with ytube updating while auto update for ytube only was turned off. Eventually I just decided to go with the "never auto update” option and that does the trick for me. However, I'm not a latest and greatest kind of person so I don't have that compulsion to update. No judgements though if anyone is the type that feels compelled to update when there's one available, but if that sort of thing doesn't bother you than I would suggest turning auto updates completely off and see if that helps.

Now that I think about it, I believe it started when I added multiple google accounts (3 total) to my phone. I noticed you can switch accounts in the playstore, but all my info is tied to one account so I don't usually go into different accounts in the store. Do either of you also have multiple google accounts on your phone? Maybe the setting has to be set in each one of them?
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
I have auto update disabled it makes no difference even if there isn't an update for YouTube, 9 out of 10 times over night vanced has gone and YouTube icon appears

Oh and as I said, even detaching it from the market makes zero difference
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Use the non root version and disable the official app using adb. I did the same. They aren't shown in my app list too. I had a problem with Google photos and YouTube being enabled automatically. But adb helped. Try it if it fixes the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Thx I'll try that
[Android Apps and Games] MrElectrifyer:
Yeah, I too was initially experiencing similar when I started using Android back in 2014 on a OnePlus One. Ever since then, I've always been setting the Play Store to NEVER auto update any of my apps, which is also what I had it set to on my Note 8. Even with that setting though, the Play Store still went ahead with the auto update.

I do have two accounts tied to the Play Store, but even when I switch to the alternate account and go into the Play Store settings, auto update still appeared to be set to NEVER. So, figured that setting was independent of the account...maybe it's a bug in the Play Store, but AdGuard Premium appears to be mitigating it for now.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
some apps have the YouTube app name hardcoded, they will refuse to open links in any apps other than the original YouTube.

the only way around this is to use the root or magisk version, as they actually take the place of the official YouTube app.

What custom solution do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have posted the originals, not sure If I have updated/improved the scripts, but you can find the details in my posts.

I think the original script had code to restore Vanced on a reboot after an update, but I think that part needs some more work, so I wouldn't use it; just the dB trigger changes.

I have turned off auto updates, but go into the PlayStore and do a manual update all, every now and then.

Basically, from my understanding, the detach script runs every minute or so to remove the YouTube dB record if it gets inserted during the day. My method does not require it to be scheduled to rerun, it simply puts a restriction on the tables that will stop any process from inserting the record in the first place (after first removing it the one time of course).

However, I do see it randomly appear in the list, even though there is no records in the dB (which is impossible). All I do is a force close of the PlayStore and re-open it, and its gone. :highfive:

I'm still interested to understand how Titanium attempts a detach.I am thinking there may be a way to keep the YouTube record, but damage it in some way that will break its ability to update in the store. For example, assign it to a invalid user / playstore account :confused:

The fact that it can appear in the PlayStore, even though it does not exist in the dB makes me believe if I had auto-updates on, it would happen (and I think I did see that originally). The other little trick i use is to click on the "update all" and then quickly click on the stop on the YouTube line. That works and means I do not have to exit and re-enter the PlayStore.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79805134&postcount=11151

From what I have read, non-root and sudo hide are the only 2 100% methods, but I think my one simply takes it to a step beyond the detach script as it does not need to be constantly re-triggered, and also avoids the time gap between when the YouTube record gets inserted and when it gets deleted (ie detached).
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Everyone keeps saying there are server-side updates. The app does need an update, though...

Hello everyone, I've been using this app for a while now, but I just got a tab S4 with pie I installed the non rooted ver, and when I click YouTube links in G search it opens a link to the original YouTube app, to install it instead of opening vanced YouTube or at least giving me a choice with the app picker. No matter what I do the app picker will not have Vance youtube as an option. And I'm also noticing if I use DuckDuckGo search it opens YouTube within the browser (webview I guess)it will not link to the phone app either. I've searched on this with no resolution but I'm also not the only one that this is happening too. It is working normal on my S9 Plus.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Do you know if sudo hide is opensource?

[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Suggestion - check the "default" settings in VYT app info.

Since you still have GYT active, it could either be disabled or it's "default" settings tweaked to be opposite to VYT.

This should effectively leave VYT as the default player.

By the way, if you intend to install Vanced MicroG, it is recommended that the MicroG apk be installed before VYT apk.

Hope this works for you.

lets see how long it lasts...

I just had a little play, and "dirtied up" the record a little, but not delete it (as the detach does and finsky reinserts, or even ignores its not there:mad:), and left it half "recognizable" but invalid, so hopefully finsky (or whatever) leaves it be. When I now go into the playstore, it does not show up as an app ready to be updated:D I also tried a reboot, and went back in, and still no youtube for update :highfive: But there still time for finsky to do its "magic"...:(

Its VERY early stages to say if it will/is working, but, as a starting point, its not looking bad. I have auto updates turned on, so I will let you all know if it lasts over night, and longer.

I cant help but keep going into the playstore every few minutes and checking if its still "hidden" or if an update has come through.:o

[Android Apps and Games] mattgyver:
No, you don't need to ask why. The developer doesn't have to provide a reasoning to those kind of questions..

As for the "major issues", Read Post #2. Logcats. Descriptive information. You don't take a car to the mechanic and just say "it doesn't work". That's too generic, and totally unhelpful to anyone who wants to try to help figure the issues out.
[Android Apps and Games] nuxbag:
I believe I read before that its updated with server updates from YouTube, but the app itself is only updated when necessary, like when G makes changes to the actual app
[Android Apps and Games] mattgyver:
Whether you like the answer or not, you knew enough to say "with the risk of being an ETA". This thread is crawling with ETA and update posts. They're unnecessary and spammy.

My bit about the issues stands, though. logcats are the only way to truly know what's happening. They (your issues) may or may not be device-specific. logcats would help isolate it. So, provide logcats, and information on what's going on, instead of just saying "it has major issues for me (OnePlus 7 pro)".
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I totally agree on the "development" side.

I have 0 major and 0 minor problems on all my devices (and devices of my friends). There could be device specific issues with oneplus 7 pro, and there is no denial of it, but there is 0 chance of them to be fixed unless there is a thorough report on those "issues". It is impossible to support all devices without owning all of them. So, there comes logs and report. I sincerely hope that those are really "major" issues, rather than known problems/limitations.

I am 100% positive that even if there would be daily/hourly updates of this app, those "major" issues will still be present, unless user reports thoroughly (only logcat may not be enough).

[Android Apps and Games] txx3:
so let me be clear here ..my initial question was is this app even still alive? it falls under ETA that's why I said it that first line ...but I think it's a valid question, since no live sign for such a long time. When it's dead any further questions is unnecessary. But again ...any kind of question in that detection is unwelcome ..valid or not. so whoever wants to delete it can go for it.
