Not an error. First topic in the FAQ if you read it. And if you had searched this has been asked & answered countless times. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ronnycoleman:
Seems nobody asked this: For rooted phones, there's also only a .apk being offered, no .zip file. Now how do I flash an apk from recovery?

Steps 3 says: "Place the downloaded apk into /sdcard/Downloads or inside the installation zip"

Which installation zip? Should I create a installtion.zip on my own? What do I need to do for that (any extra files, scripts etc. or just a plain .zip with the .apk inside)? The opening post isn't really clear on that I think..

E: I missed the "Installer files" button on the download page...

And what benefits in terms of functionality does the rooted version have?
[Android Apps and Games] shouren04:
In one of the downloads link look for the installer zip named "ytva-universal-installer-v2.9.zip", on the website it's in the root version section.

Rooted version allows you to login without needing microg. Also don't need anything additional to install. It's my preferred version to use. Simply place the apk in the appropiate folder, rename the apk, extract the lib folder, set permissions, & reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] kreizyidiot:
Actually, it's sad because I cannot find the settings, and then later to realized that I have been opening the main Youtube version instead of the Vanced version lol!
[Android Apps and Games] shouren04:
:laugh: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] ronnycoleman:
Thank you, but the installation still doesn't work. Man I feel like an idiot after all these years using custom roms, mods etc..

According to "3. Place the downloaded apk into /sdcard/Downloads or inside the installation zip" in the opening post, I tried it again now that I found the .zip file ;)

a) I first tried to put the .apk in the zip file (again, no clear instructions given, so I first just put in the top level and another time in the \system\ subfolder). After rebooting: Original Youtube is gone/no Vanced edition has not been installed (flash process without any error message).

b) Tried the simple way by putting the apk to the internal storage/download folder. Of course used a new installtion .zip. Same result.

I exactly followed these easy install instructions..What's going wrong? Can't believe that.. :eek: Original Youtube app wasn't disabled or uninstalled at time of installing the Vance edition.

[You mentioned additional steps. Is this necessary? If so, why isn't it it mentioned in the install instructions in the opening post? (question @OP).]
[Android Apps and Games] shouren04:
I've never used the installer zip so I can't say. I don't even bother, with the rooted version it's very simple to install.

Not sure why it isn't listed in this thread but the instructions for manual install is more detailed in the old thread. The lib folder is optional, not absolutely needed but without it 360 videos don't work. Might as well install it.

(II) Using Manual Method

1. Uninstall YouTube completely and reboot.

2. Download the YouTube Vanced apk and rename it to YouTube.apk

3. Create a folder called YouTube in /system/app/ and set permission 755

4. Copy YouTube.apk to /system/app/YouTube/ and set permission 644

5. [OPTIONAL] Extract the lib folder from apk to /system/app/YouTube/ and rename the immediate sub-folder to arm or arm64 or x86 or x86_x64 depending on your CPU architecture and set folder permission 755 and all files permission 644

6. Reboot!

Note :

Depending on your android version you need to select the proper installation location for system application like

for android 4.x - /system/app/

for android >= 5.x - /system/app/YouTube/ or /system/app/priv-app/

for Pixel phones - /system_root/system/app/YouTube/

I think u have low net speed..

Thats why after choosing 1080p in vanced , yt takes over and switches to 360p according to ur net speed..
[Android Apps and Games] NE0HP:
Uninstall the Official YouTube app first. If you've Dowloaded both the file right on your phone using your mobile browser then it must be in the Download folder(Internal Storage) but if not then place both (Installer zip & apk) in to Download folder. Boot your device in to Recovery (TWRP) and flash the Installer zip. That's it.
[Android Apps and Games] ronnycoleman:
Also thanks to you. Tried it also with uninstalling official Youtube before. So it seems I did everything right at least one time.

Everything works fine except that Everytime I try to access settings the app crashes. I'm on Xiaomi Mi A1. You need a log or is it a known problem?

Also, now the splash screen is white but the app is dark. Is it possible in the future to bring the dark one back? I'm on the non-root version

Regarding the splash screen, check back a few pages. Some get white, some don't but I forget the particulars.

---------- Post added at 17:27 ---------- Previous post was at 17:15 ----------

I searched the web for the GCM error. Found hits going back a few years but still don't have a clue why that's happening. Seen mention of timing out or device time being incorrect but I doubt those are the case for you.

Can't run Lineage_microG 15.1 on my devices due to multibooting. On my Moto I have AOSiP Oreo as a Google-free setup; device registration and GCM turned off. No Vanced so I figured I'd test there but hit my own snags. Vanced will not work. Makes it only as far as the splash screen with no network activity whatsoever. Logs show failure to load libcronet which I believe is the interface to webview. I then flashed Vanced using Shadowstep's installer as it has the extracted libs. Still no go. Downgraded to Vanced 14.10 with no luck.

Wiped dalvik & cache just in case. Definitely a ROM issue me thinks.

Hopefully someone can chime in on your log snippet and shed some light on what's going on.

[Android Apps and Games] Saswata Chakraborty:
Infact YouTube Vanced can be used as a replacement of youTube music. All we need to do is, search our favorite songs and add them on a playlist. Now open the playlist and tap on the play button on the screen. Done!! Now we can turn the screen off and let the app play music in the background. The only downside is, we can not change audio quality.

EDIT: never mind. I had downloaded the early 14.21.54 release that crashes. I downloaded the latest CrashFix revision and now it's working fine with MicroG.

This is my first time installing YT vanced. I have a nokia 6.1 (Pie) with the latest May update, non-rooted.

I installed the latest 14.21.54 white/black version and it is working fine, but after I install the MicroG package 0.2.6.17455, YT vanced fails to start and shows an error. I uninstalled MicroG and it is working again.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
For the latest non-root version, the recommended sequence is to install the microg first, then the VYT apk.

All previous versions should be uninstalled before installing the latest version.

If you run into issues, try uninstalling both and reinstall using the recommended sequence.

Edit.. If all is working fine, leave it alone..:) Hope this helps.

[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
Youtube works good but after reboot microg apk keeps FC.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Your problem seems to be with understanding how playstore works and inability to use detach script rather than magisk module or youtube vanced app itself. You can either turn off automatic updates on playstore settings (not per app) or use detach script or uninstall everytime it auto-updates from playstore because you neither turned off the auto-updates and nor used detach script. Please tell us which of them you have problem with.

Logs? Device info? App info for microg? App info for YTV?

:rolleyes:

I dont know why but I think I started to be negative
[Android Apps and Games] spevil07:

Installed the new microg

Installed youtube vanced:

Not working (internet connection not present, but obviously the phone is connected)

If I try to install the version 14.06.54 Youtube Vanced works, but login doesn't work.

This problem started today when I activated the double check security on Google account.

So, now I have deactivated, but the problem for youtube vanced (and microg) is here.

Thanks for helping.

Bumping this issue. Is there a way to roll back to a previous Magisk Vanced version?
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Uninstall what you have, install the older version
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The detach script is not a 100% guarantee. The longer you leave between reboots, the greater the chance it will get past the detach script. I have two phones with one (Oreo) with auto updates from the playstore turned off. However, I *think* YouTube still somehow manages to update itself every now and then. Its hard to track as my restore script generally fixes it without me noticing and I do not use YouTube every day.

as above its not 100%. I am not sure where I posted the script, but I use a run once script that logically would be a little better at detaching Youtube, and a boot-script that if youtube has been updated, on a reboot it will uninstall the updated youtube (ie revert back to vanced) and restore my settings. The restore of settings is working perfectly on one phone (Oreo), but the settings restore fails on my spare phone (Pie) even though YouTube is reverted. The script obviously needs more work, but the second phone is not a daily so not much reason for me to spend the time to fix it.

=======================================================​

Regarding a change log. Although not completely the same, I went to check on the playstore for the current google version number to compare to vanced, and I noticed that for version it says "Current Version: Varies with device". Which logically may mean that using the default YouTube app will give a different change log depending on which device.:confused:

Its not a big thing for me personally, but without installing the one from the Playstore, where would we find the changelog, since I could not find it on the playstore?
[Android Apps and Games] the-blind-bandit:

Maybe I'm just inept, but I can't find the older version I had. Looking to roll back just one version iteration from current. I think that may fix it, unless the developers are working on a fix to the banner ad in video.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I personally turn off auto update from playstore settings (see screenshot) rather than per app instead of running a script. That is because I do t like having an extra app running in background and checking whether I have latest apps. I dont care about being the first person getting the latest updates, that is why I do update manually when I have time.

Most apps do not present changelog in playstore for "every user" to see. Most of them just put "we improved our app more to provide a better experience" or "bug fixes and optimizations" or else (another example of similar changelog :D). Which is normal. You don't see a changelog for Google app, Photos app and others too. Those are not open source and not shared in github. So you can't expect to see the full changelog of such an app other than "optimizations and bug fixes" unless something important (as introduction of YouTube Red or background play) comes up in new version. E.g. when we release a new ROM version, we don't provide full changelog to all users (only the important parts and not the fixes of stuff that were broken by us :p), but only to our test group members. Do every user need to see the full changelog? Well, that is a question every content creator should answer.

Regarding actual YouTube app changelog (which is same as vanced youtube app changelog of similar version), whether it is possible to see or not, the app version that is patched by Vanced team is containing the changes done by YouTube devs. If it is not out for everybody, then so is the changelog for YouTube Vanced app. I dont see why is the fuss about changelogs seriously.

My answer was to show that "changelog of this app is same as changelog of official YouTube" as in it is harmless and users can update. Whether they want or not, it is of course their own decision.

I am sure if there was such an importance, Vanced team would put a changelog in their site/OP.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
That's exactly what I also do on my daily,

and I think an auto update has occurred, and hence I took the time to build a script that reverts it if it ever happens again. Again, I am not 100% sure, and it certainly does not make logical sense, but I think I remember because it just did not make sense. A possibility is that I had a batch of updates awaiting and I mistakenly did not see youtube in the list, so pressed the up-date all button.

All the talk regarding a change log was in response to your answer to another poster, not for my interest.

Which implied to me it was available.
