You can use substratum or similar themes to get the color change you need. If all you want is just a black background...with ads.

But since this thread is about android app development (as it is under android development and hacking forum), your post is off topic. I can advise you to open a new thread with your wish probably somewhere here:

https://xdaforums.com/windows-10/general

Or any chrome extension support group like chromebook support:

https://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromebooks

But my best advise would be to learn how to create chrome extensions. The bad news for you would be that you would need to update your extension after each incremental update that Google pushes to its website (maybe not each update but each 2-3 updates). And there you will not have an option to "stop update app from playstore" as you did on mobile application, since website is being updated live.

Nice to see that you deliberately wrote in your post that "you will not update to newer version" in thread of development and support of Vanced YouTube app... I think you should have left that to yourself. But that is my personal opinion.

I hope this off topic discussion has come to an end.

Lets move on with vanced youtube app discussion.

Hello Eleo...

Its useless because i am using s7 edge android 7.0 (your theme engine link requires android 8 )

This is my last phone of samsung and will never buy phones from samsung...

samsung has turning into problematic and cheap company... i feel its such a shame that companies like samsung is hungry for money and don't respect people's personal space and care only about influencers... no more samsung... either i will buy a flip phone and no more smartphones...

https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/8pipel/samsung_overdid_it_on_the_bloatware/ read all the comments on here

i refuse to have social media accounts and samsung makes it impossible to live without them... they make it harder to root phones...so screw samsung phones. i think samsung has receiving heavy competition so they need to do **** like this to run their company as it helps them i guess...

still up to this date...imo the best looking device is s7edge that's why i have it... tkkg1994 is another one reason i am keeping up with this phone..he made me to get full freedom with his stunning custom batman rom.

luckily i don't like samsung new phone designs and how it looks.... so it becomes easier for me to ignore their new phones :p

seriously ? is there any phone company left which provides more personal space and privacy to users ? social media bloatware would be the one fine reason why ill ignore samsung and smartphones. in the future.

I got a question regarding this...

Works ok on the S8+ no problems.

However on the S5 its a different story.

On the S5 it is rooted using Auto root (SuperSU).

I just cannot seem to get this working though.

For a start i'm a bit confused about what 'ARM' should be selected when going through each of the YouTubeVanced apps.

When I look at the specs of any S5 it shows architecture as 'ARM' however on the download page of YouTube Vanced I can only see these options: "arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86"

I don't know what one would be for the S5 however I have tried every single one of those individually (assisted with the zip install file).

For example I would get the install zip file from the google drive page and put one of the APK files in the SDCard/Downloads folder alongside the ZIP file.

Installing with TWRP seems fine with no errors at all... and the same applies for all of them (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86) however when I go back into android after the reboot YouTube vanced is nowhere to be seen.

I did also follow the steps of making sure the other Youtube would not do any updates.

Am I missing something here at all?

Please help me.

With thanks

MArt.

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have been using my own detach method. I have included it in the following utility app.

There are 3 different possible methods to detach YouTube.

The first is very similar to the old detach method, but a step further, in that there is not a constantly running process every x minutes. It runs automatically milliseconds after needed, and is not run again until it is actually required to be run again. However, just like the old detach method, it will eventually fail you:crying:.

However, the 3rd (and possible the second also) has never failed me, however, it does currently appear to break the auto update of all other apps. But as hopped, when you go into the play store, YouTube will not be listed for an update, so you can simply & safely click the update all button.

The app can be found at: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-temefi-comprehensive-documentation-t3806260

And the method can be found in the menu at:

"Application Info / Manage>Detach Package from PlayStore>Select Package then Protection Level"

From there, I would select

"com.google.android.youtube"

and then

"3 - Invalidate the data / link, and block any attempted corrections"

Now, if you do not see "com.google.android.youtube" in the list, then YouTube is currently detached/not registered within the PlayStore. You will either have to wait (without the existing detach script running), or manually install then uninstall it the one time to enable the process to be kicked off.

Thank you very much Vanced team! Updated to new version from v14.xxx without any hiccups on S10 unlocked

- download dark mode Vanced for unroot phone

- install SAI

- open SAI -> install apks -> select new vanced apk

- wait 1-2 minutes

- ...

- profit?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
You could try the non root version. The previous v14 works fine. Install the Vanced MicroG (for log in purpose) first followed by the VYT. I use this on my devices regardless whether rooted or not.

Additionally may need to remove the apps from battery optimisation if encountering FC or erratic performance. Other issues raised in this thread have yielded solutions like whitelisting "s.youtube.com" if using AdAway. You can scroll back some pages for more info.

For the latest version of VYT (v15) you will need to install the SAI app to install the Vanced YT apks. That's due to big G so the Devs have had to modify the way the app installs. Instructions are provided in the OP link. Just need to read first and check selections before hitting download.

To know what ABI, I use DevInfo Hardware. x86 is for Intel SoC so that's definitely out for S5. I've stopped using Samsung after the S4 (which is v7a if I remember correctly).

Good luck!

On the latest version (15) I get an error message that says it's incompatible with my device.

Anyone else getting this error message?

I tried several times and same thing.

I downloaded the appropriate files and followed the instructions to the letter. Still no go.

I've never had any issues before with installing VYT.

Is the new version only for those on Android 10?

My device is the Moto G6 Play.

With the new non-root version, is it normal to have an ad at the top of your feed?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
I have not seen that since I updated mate.

Even the home page ads seems to have sorta disappeared (so far so good).
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Its the same on rooted version. Don't think there is anything they can do about it.

Not the end of the world anyway the app still works flawlessly.

I'm missing the minimised video type though, prefered having video only but I'll get used to the other way.

Its great to see, even after all the obstacles from Big G, that the vanced team were still able to update the app.

Great work as always :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
That's so weird! I had zero ads on the previous rooted version. Maybe i'll try the new rooted version. It just seemed easier to install the non-root version.

Ok, thanks for letting me know you also have those ads on the rooted version. I also mix the old minimised video style. I may be downgrading...
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
Personally, after trying out the new version, I don't see any reason to not stick with the 14.21.54 version.

Of course it's great that an update has been achieved, but I have zero ads, I prefer the old minimised video layout and in general I'm very satisfied with the "old" vanced app :)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yes, I agree. I haven't seen any new or improved features over the "old" vanced version.
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
I faced this issue when I toggled (on first and then off again) the Home Ads (Experimental) toggle under Settings -> Vanced Settings -> Ad Settings. By default, that toggle is set to off, but if you enable and disable it, that first video will always be an ad, no matter what. Try clearing the data of your Vanced and see if it goes away. Remember not to touch that toggle at all after clearding the data. :)
[Android Apps and Games] droident:
Nah, still getting it here after clearing storage/cache.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Just sharing..

So far I've only updated my non rooted phone.

The other rooted phones are still on the previous version and working fine (usually over WiFi).

Nothing's broken so I ain't gonna fix anything. It seems to be working like previous version. Did not take a closer look into settings to see if there's anything new.

I just do basic viewing of videos so I guess my simple needs are met.

Cheers folks!

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

I remember a couple of users reporting that when it's "off", the ads come on when when toggled "on" they disappear.

Could be a connection here?

Edit - typo.."toggled" not "googled"..

Just thinking aloud.

[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:

Use legacy version of vanced. G6 play is 32 bit

When you download vanced select legacy
[Android Apps and Games] TheIntruder:
Because it's a split APK you can't install it via Android package installer hence the extension is apks NOT apk
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
because Google removed the components for it.

it used to be simply disabled and vanced added an option to re-enable it.

now that the components are gone, there's nothing for vanced to re-enable.

Thank you so much for updating it, but unfortunately the new version sometimes freezes and closes itself, mostly when opening videos or mixes. I know without logs it's not much help, but I just wanted to point that out. Nevertheless I get no ads at all and except the freezes, everything works fine. Until the freezes are fixed, I'll use the old apk.

Hey

With the rooted version of YouTube Vanced which I got on my S8+ it just keeps reverting back to the original YouTube.

Play is not signed in, the app is disabled, I got rid of it with root uninstaller but it just keeps creeping back and replacing YouTube vanced.

I used Magisk to install YouTube Vanced.

Can someone please advise me as to how I stop it keep going back to the original YouTube?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ca_guri01:

I've also reverted to the old, root version. Still works like a charm without any issues for me. :)

I have non-split APKs of the latest non-root Vanced (have the root ones also available, but they still need disabling signature verification disabled, so). They install and work just fine, like a regular APK. :cool:

If you installed the Magisk version of VYT, you need to uninstall it via Magisk Manager.
[Android Apps and Games] MartK87:
Hi there

Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying I need to uninstall the official YouTube app through Magisk? Or are you saying I need to uninstall Youtube Vanced through Magisk?

If I need to uninstall You Tube Vanced through Magisk then what way should I install You Tube Vanced?

Thanks. Btw I am talking about the S8+ here... The method you suggested earlier was for the S5 and it worked perfectly so thanks for that

Mart.
[Android Apps and Games] G A S T:
This is wrong. They are. Since Vanced - for obvious reasons - can't be found on the PlayStore and no one cares for target api or .apk package size, there is no true need for using .apks wit SAI atm.

Btw. - if anyone else is interested - there is a way to bypass SAI-installation here:

You only need a PC with ADB installed.

1. rename the .apks file to a .zip (e. g. YouTube_Vanced-v15.05.54-nonroot-default-black.zip)

2. extract the needed components (only 3 specific .apk in that case) from the zipfile;

- config.arm64_v8a.apk (= device architecture pack)

- split_config.de.apk (= language pack)

- YouTube_15.05.54_API21(nodpi)(vBlack...)-vanced. apk (= YT Vanced itself)

3. install everything using the PC with the command "adb install-multiple apk1 apk2 apk3"

This worked for the vanced non-root Version on my Galaxy S6 device. I'll repeat this on my Mi 8 when legacy vanced won't be working any more some day. If you pick the right .apks for your device nothing can go wrong here.

Casting for some unexplainable reason did not work for me on the legacy vanced version either. And my LG TV is from 2018...

Since I don't have a YouTube-Account to log in, the new SAI installation method pisses me off and I don't see any significant improvement in YT-V 15, I'm using now NewPipe besides the previous vanced version. I'm happy with it. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Not for the non-root, I'm sure, but isn't it for the root version? I'm also bummed out with this installation method. It's confusing to a lot of people and one has to weaken device security (or shatter it completely by using potentially dangerous apps) to get it installed.

If SAI is an absolute requirement for the root version then it does make sense to use the same structure for non-root to streamline the upgrade process.

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
As a starting point, you haven't mentioned if you have also installed the detach module?

I personally use my own system. I have three devices, and none have updated in the past week:highfive:. The only problem I have experienced thus far is that it also stops all other apps from auto updating. However, they all appear in the list of apps to be updated, without youtube, so I can simply press the "update all" button in google play.

Maybe give it a go, and let us all know if it works for you.

Activate it, and then clear the default settings and select open supported links "Ask every Time", then go to try to open youtube video from Google app, it will ask to open in which app you want to watch video then select youtube vanced. After that change option under open supported links as "Don't Open".
[Android Apps and Games] MartK87:
Hi there

Yes sorry I did forget to mention.. I have not used the detach file purely because I don't know how to apply it.

Is this something which would stop it keep automatically putting the original YouTube back? The reason I was confused is because even tohugh I wasn't even signed into the play store, it still put the original YouTube back somehow?

So I probably need the detach module still do you think so?

If so is it quite easy to apply? (Even though I have vanced already installed)?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M0nochromatic:
SAI comes up with the error "Error: You have to select one or more .apk/.apks/.zip files, no mixed extensions allowed" when I select "microg_Youtube_Vanced_0.2.6.17455_28052019.apk" and "Youtube_Vanced-v15.05.54-nonroot-default-black.apks".
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
don't select microG, install that one first.

it's just a regular apk, so it doesn't need sai.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The detach module is not 100%.

People have only experienced 100% reliability with either sudo hide (requires Xposed) or running the Non Root version.

I have created a new system in the link I gave you above, which for me has been working 100% on three devices for about a week now (Method 3 within the app). It is a one off thing, that has a UI to do it. Once you have applied it, you could even uninstall the app.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Hi Mart!

I was referring to the Vanced YT. If that was installed through Magisk uninstalling via Magisk is the best bet.

I have seen your reply to [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION]. So it's that you did not apply the detach. (That's what bugged me - the tediousness of it when I first rooted my phone so I took the easy way out - non root and uninstalled GYT to save space.)

I have not used the root version (ever) but I trust him to give the correct input.

You should try out his suggestion.

You can also install the non root version (works fine on my rooted devices as well) if things get too complicated for you. If rooted the GYT could be uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] M0nochromatic:
Ok, I did it, I just got a bit confused by the wording of step 4 ("4. Open Split APKs Installer (SAI) -> Install APKs -> Select the downloaded Vanced apks -> Install"), using "APKs"/"apks" instead of ".apks" and both files named Vanced. I thought it was plural (like, selected both of the Vanced apks you donwloaded).

Also, note for others who may encountered the same problem. For Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) you need the legacy version.
