Firstly this post is not complaining or asking for someone to fix my issue! Its simply out of curiosity.

I am one of the many users experiencing loss of Vanced root version upon reboot. This has been an issue for me for many months.

I fixed by installing one of the magisk modules based on the method by [MENTION=7280276]ipdev[/MENTION] with success.

I have noticed that if I power off or restart my device, Vanced survives. However if I do a 'quick' reboot (restart only applications, processes and UI but not restart device) then vanced does not survive.

Is there a simple explanation for this or is it indeed strange behaviour?

It doesn't bother me, I only stumbled across it by accident and was curious as to why.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
On your quick restart Magisk probably does not reinitialize, hence it does not re-mount the base.apk

It's just strange that your "quick restart" unmounts the Vanced base.apk

Btw, you can always check the following:

go to that Youtube installation folder /data/app/com.google.youtube*== and check the size of base.apk and its (MD5 or any other) hash

Save it somewhere and compare in two cases:

a) in case when mount is active (Vanced survived/alive)

b) mount is not active (Vanced did not survive boot)

In case (a) size and hash for that base.apk must concide with the size and hash of /data/adb/Vanced/base.apk - since in that case, mount is active (the second base.apk is mounted to the first)

In case (b), their sizes and hashes will be different, meaning that mount is not active and for the first base.apk you see the original one coming by Youtube

E.g., for my 15.43.32 version, dark, original Youtube base.apk is 16.09 MB (case b), while the Vanced one (case a) as saved by Vanced Manager to /data/adb/Vanced/base.apk is 20.71 MB

That way I can easily see at any moment if /data/app/com.google.youtube*==/base.apk is the plane, original Youtube one, or the mounted one, patched by Vanced

It applies for all who use root Vanced version and wonder how/when Vanced "survived boot" or not

Btw, Vanced Manager 2.0, while installing the root version, besides the patched app /data/adb/Vanced/base.apk and mounting script /data/adb/service.d/vanced.sh, it installs now also the second script to /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/vanced.sh

Not sure what was that second script meant for, specially since itc chroot mode equals to 644, therefore it seems never to be executed?!

Ofc, Vanced Manager, while uninstalling the Vanced root, still does not clean all its stuff from the Magisk folder /data/adb

Thank you for the hint, that worked perfectly.

Thanks also to [MENTION=321827]i5lee8bit[/MENTION] for providing the Magisk-Module and apks.

Thanks Vanced devs for providing the awesome app.

Would be cool, if there would be official apks or magisk releases again, for people where the manager.app does not work, like in my case.

Use the TeMeFi app + patch 3 method = profit! No more annoying forced Play Store update!

Or as an alternative there's a Detach v4.2 Magisk module, but Play Store would roughly once per day force update YouTube Vanced.

---------- Post added 27th November 2020 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 26th November 2020 at 11:58 PM ----------

See my post above & don't forget ? button!

However, if you're using rooted YT Vanced & every time that you'd notice a force update... Simply go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> YouTube -> 3 dots in the upper right corner & manually remove updates. That reverted me back to YT Vanced, though I still had to re-flash Detach v4.2 + reboot device!

P.S.- TeMeFi app + patch 3 method is the only way that sticks. It's been 2 days since I've tried TeMeFi... Flip back a few pages & you'd find the link to TeMeFi app.

P.P.S.- You don't have to keep TeMeFi forever if you're paranoid/suspicious like me... Use patch 3 on YouTube Vanced & uninstall to calm your mind. ?

Thanks to [MENTION=321827]i5lee8bit[/MENTION] for providing the Magisk Module.

I make the root version of vanced and music work on my pixel 4 XL. (I copy the module once again and change the package name from youtube to youtube music.)

Then I use Detach Magisk Module to prevent google play to update them.
[Android Apps and Games] mentaculus:
This procedure worked great for my on Android 11 (Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6) to get YouTube Vanced to persist after rebooting,

I haven't had any luck doing the same thing for the YouTube Music Vanced, however. I deleted the equivalent content from data/adb data/data for youtube music, and it still gets uninstalled with every restart. Has anyone had success with this?

Edit: I also am unable to delete the com.google.andoid. ... directory for YT Music in data/app, but I didn't have to delete that to get Vanced to work either.

Edit 2: Adapted the script to YT Music, so it automatically binds base.apk in data/app to the Vanced one in data/adb. It doesn't work, so I guess binding the two base.apk files is not the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The thing that annoyed me before I built the TeMeFI detach was having to re configure all my settings every time I uninstalled googles YouTube:mad:

For clarity, you should not run any other detach method along side TeMeFI's detach. If you ever had, or even for the first time, I would suggest running the check

Application Info / Manage>Detach Packlage From PlayStore>CHECK: The Detach of a single Package>com.google.android.youtube

Ha! two days,:D I've been running for months if not a year now.

If you are going to uninstall, make sure to use the built-in uninstall, and not the standard Android methods.

TeMFI Configuration>Self Destruct in ...3...2...1...

Hey I'm trying to use vanced on my Galaxy Mega 6.3 and I cannot make it work rooted or not, did development of vanced stopped for such old arc?
[Android Apps and Games] pycxe-01:
When I've uninstalled those forced Play Store updates on my rooted YouTube Vanced my previously entered configuration settings have persisted... But, again I didn't use Vanced Manger to install the rooted YouTube. Instead I've used Lucky Patcher which installs Magisk modules & puts the rooted YT Vanced into /data/date i.e. installing it as system app + I had all previous YouTube versions purged from my system.

Yep, for clarity of an experiment I've always used only one detach method at a time. TeMeFi is best for that! ?
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
PIP is broken for me. Sometimes only it works, rest of the time it freezes. Using latest version of non root vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The fact yours persisted while mine were blown away would probably have something to do with me running a very old version of Vanced YouTube, such that the new YouTube has a changed data schema and so cannot be used when I go back to the older vanced, For example, I think my version was before the dark-view was enabled in google YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] Edshiro:
I am sorry, but i do not get notifications in your app. Can this be fixed in any way? (I looked throughout all the settings and didn't found anything)
[Android Apps and Games] Okr4m:
Hello,

several months ago I installed Vanced rooted (version 15.05.54) via SAI, edxposed, etc. Now I would like to uninstall it to switch to the more easily installable non-root version, but I don't know how. I can't uninstall it like a normal app and above all I wouldn't want to go wrong and remove youtube. For now, in fact, I have never touched the system partition to be able to continue receiving OTA updates.

Thanks.

-------------------------

after researching, I realized that I had written an inaccuracy regarding the system partition and OTA updates: I have an Oneplus 5 and since I unlocked the bootloader it always makes me download the complete image and not just the incremental update. So I should never have any problems regarding system updates. However, the fact remains that I don't know how to uninstall vanced rooted
[Android Apps and Games] pycxe-01:
Turn on USB debugging in Settings -> System -> Developer options.

Make sure that you have adb setup on your laptop/PC.

No need to boot to Recovery or Bootloader just plug in your phone through USB.

Open CMD as Administrator & go to your adb folder, then type the following commands:

adb shell

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

That should completely remove/uninstall YouTube from your phone. Tested 3-4 days ago on my OnePlus 7 & it works!

Gentlemen, is there a way to launch the 11.xx.xx version of YouTube now or perhaps a theme for YouTube / Vanced in 11.xx.xx style?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Uninstalling for user 0 does not mean it was uninstalled completely. First of all, try to uninstall YouTube app from Settings/Apps.

Since you have root you can be also able to manually delete youtube folders from /data/app and /data/data

Btw, if we are taking about cleaning, then you must also manually delete (none of the above will do) Vanced folder and service.d/vanced.sh and post-fs-data.d/vanced.sh scripts from /data/adb

Last but not the least, people usually want to continue using YouTube. Therefore, its not the goal to uninstall YT package or app as installed by Vanced Manager.. Youtube application coming with Vanced root is usually older than the latest available on Playstore - just update the YT from Playstore and it will overwrite your Vanced root version.

In case when the Vanced root version coincides with the latest version on Playstore, just delete the stuff from /data/adb as described above, reboot, and that same YT version will continue running on your phone, but without the Vanced root patch

Has anybody managed to log in using a legacy G Suite account?

To clarify, this is not a Google Workspace account, it is a G Suite account with a custom domain, from when these were offered by Google for free. I can log in using my wife's regular google account, but whenever I try to add my legacy G Suite account, I get the "no connection" error.

Of course, I followed the FAQ to the letter, reinstalling MicroG, deactivating 2FA, etc.

Is there a workaround for these accounts?
[Android Apps and Games] valimot:

[Android Apps and Games] :
Latest non-root vanced microG is completely incompatible with stock microG. I never understood the requirement for vanced microG when I already have my own installed to /system... I can't even install youtube vanced anymore from the vanced manager since it won't let me unless it detects vanced microG is installed which I can't install because it conflicts with my preinstalled microG, all while it doesn't need vanced microG and can run stock microG... Bad design IMO needs urgent fixing.

I was forced to download split apk installer off of f-droid and had to download the last mirror available independent from vanced manager, which is months old now.

Through all of this I finally got youtube vanced working in non-root mode with my own microG install, but it's a 4month old version and ads are leaking through.

Please either update your mirrors or allow us to install youtube vanced through vanced manager without vanced microG... Thank you

If it gives you no connection that means there's an update on vanced manager , uninstall micro g and reinstall the new one, fixed for me anyways, simple
[Android Apps and Games] :
Um, no.

The problem is that the devs programmed vanced manager to block users from downloading YouTube Vanced if they don't have Vanced microG installed. I'm surprised nobody has gotten upset with this? Or even pointed it out? 90% of microG users use microG from the official website, not vanced microG. It's just odd.

Adding to the fact that the devs seemingly abandoned the mediafire mirrors and made vanced manager the only download choice on their website, making vanced manager a weird form of DRM

Is there a way for the devs to implement a button into one of the apps to donate using Google play store credit? Or maybe create a "donate app" like Ymusic does? I get free credit from Google (through rewards app) and I'd like to donate every now and then from that balance.

The way I stopped having those "no connection" messages was just tinkering with both Vanced and MicroG's battery optimizations within the Android settings. I put both on Don't Optimize, rebooted and have never seen that message since. It's been months already. I use the non-root variant on all my devices.

I would like to to ask you to add a option to stop Youtube from getting parts of its landscape mode pushed under the notch of my android 9 phone. Or an option to use the 13.16.55 version player of youtube which, with own experience, does not recognize the notch area of the phone as a video displaying area.

Ymusic is pulling music from YouTube directly, it allows you to login to your YouTube account and watch your subscriptions. It even has a YouTube music section within it. And they still managed to get into the playstore with their donation app. It is called Yplug. Ymusic has a donate app within it that pull from my Google play fund even though it is not on the playstore.

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
But there is a workaround. They paid a developer fee to MASTER GOOGLE to publish apps on the play store to donate money thru the Google account where MASTER gets 30% everytime someone donates. They are hiding their YMusic app from MASTER because they know it will make MASTER very angry... Believe me, I'm on your side with donating from my Google account, but realize everytime you donate thru that, goggle gets 30% each time.

[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Lets remove the 30% so then google removes things like flutter, all the apis, then we can also remove the rating system from the playstore, remove all the ways to have an app shown to users, we can then stop scanning apps and let anything into the playstore, Then they can stop advertising apps. So it will all be up to the developer about getting it out to the people to be seen when it is buried in 1000 apps that all do the same thing.

That 30% is about 15% less then what other companies charge for the same services.

And before you say it.Yes apple lowered them but also told developers that some of the services they offered would no longer be available due to the cut in prices. Its all business and in the end the little man means less then nothing to them and never will.

I'm not saying GOOGLE doesn't deserve anything and you will never hear me praise any of the other platforms, but buying into the Pyramid scheme GOOGLE utilizes is kind of a joke. Their piss poor, at best job of keeping users safe from malicious apps is a joke, they do almost 0 promotion except use an algorithm of mining data to see what other users install that you may enjoy because you have other similar apps installed is disgusting, and let's face it there is nobody even taking a look at rampant theft of paid, premium, and pro apps posted everywhere as long as GOOGLE can collect off that site's ad money. Signatures and license checks are useless and GOOGLE really doesn't want to do anything about it. Hell, I busted HTC giving away paid themes on their HTC store and got 100s of devs and designers to petition Google to ban HTC and have a class action suit until their work was deleted from the HTC store and GOOGLE answered back by giving HTC the nexus 9 contract.

I have a ton of respect for you and your contributions to the android community. I have crossed paths with you many times over many years now, but you can't believe GOOGLE has any credibility left when the same issues Android had 10 years ago are still around and perhaps even more prevalent? Sad part is, it is just like the cable company, the other game in town if there is 1,just isn't up to par, is just as bad, or even worse so we just keep putting up with GOOGLE'S crap.

For every Kevin Barry there are a million Cheetah Mobiles scamming away as GOOGLE collects until enough users complain...

If you want to update via the vanced manager, you will need to delete the magisk module first. It cannot be updated from manager.

The magisk module was created for people having trouble installing from vanced manager.

Coming from OGYoutube as of today. Everything seems to be working alright and i am really digging the new youtube look. However, I cant get the Picture in Picture to work on my phone (YES, I am using Oreo). I managed to do it two times in the beginning actually. I am using Xiaomi MI5 Prime with the capacitive home button enabled, but i cant make the picture to pop up anymore. I am pretty sure im messing up the sequence to do it tho. I play a video then tap my home button( it just throws me to home screen and the audio starts playing) then i tried by actually physically pressing the button, but the same thing happend. The App permissions seems to be ok ( however i cant find Pop up permissions on oreo for some reason).

Thanks for the help in advance.

PS: You can use OGYoutube and its MicroG along with Vanced. However, you cant use OGYT's microG to log in into Vanced, it says you are already logged.
