[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I tried it from there a few days ago and it wouldn't load. The app kept crashing so I'm not sure what's going on. I'd love to use it, although I did run into a very watered down version that works if you don't mind not being able to login to your account.

You need vanced microg services app as well.

Try this version:

YouTube Vanced for Android - APK Download

Download YouTube Vanced apk 17.03.38 for Android. Modded version of YouTube with many features such as adblocking, background playback and PIP mode, etc.

Vanced YouTube needs to be installed on top of the original YouTube.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alt130:
I ripped YouTube off my phone entirely and had no trouble with Vanced. Recommend the non-root version so the play store doesn't keep trying to "update" it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LR7875:
??? It is not an extension or anything.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I actually got it working when I was told I needed the microG app as well. Thank you though!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
Anyone else install from the source?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
That user has 1 post and created their account just to post that link.

The website they linked seems to have been around for a few years, though I wouldn't trust it all: it looks like one of those copycat malware/spam website (just like that fake Magisk website that comes up on Google searches) & seeing as the code isn't open source at all, any apk installed from this location could be used to inject malware onto your device.

Any reason you can't just download the bundle from apkmirror & just install with SAI, or apkmirrors own app?

@cbomb1337 I did, and that was great until the play store refreshed(or whatever it is it does) and reattached it, and "updated" the app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mosio:
Guys, Vanced Manager from apkmirror.com installs both MicroG and YoutubeVanced still just fine. That seems to be the best source now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
For the unrooted phones, there's no way to replace stock YouTube app, right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
you can uninstall or disable the stock app, then install vanced non-root version with micro-g. works fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
You can't uninstall a stock app if unrooted, only disable it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain you can't.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Please see my post above where I mentioned I got it working. I never had a problem downloading, only loading because I didn't have microG. It's fine now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ayaanbaig12:
USE OG YOUTUBE
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
which is why I said uninstall or disable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Then just say disable. He's unrooted and it makes no sense to mention uninstalling if it's not possible.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
You can uninstall a system app when unrooted, eg. by running:

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

Which will completely uninstall that app, for that user 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Yeah, I don't recommend this. You can break system components and even cause the device to go into a boot loop requiring the need for a factory reset.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
What? I've never heard of anyone having an issue with this command when uninstalling a non-critical system app - sorry, but that's just bad advice. This command is perfectly safe for removing YouTube & is the exact same command that thousands of people use every time they set up a new Samsung device, to remove all bloatware/telemetry - I even used it to uninstall about 200 apps from my Samsung tablet & have never had any issues.

Even if you did encounter issues, the app is only uninstalled for the user, not from the device, so it can be reinstalled with:

adb shell pm install-existing <package name>

At reboot and you would back and running after the first loop.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I'm well aware of how the command works in how to uninstall and reinstall; what I'm saying is that using that to remove system apps can result in issues if used on the wrong ones. I should have made that clear.

I didn't say using this with YouTube is dangerous, just that I don't recommend using it for anyone going around wanting to remove stuff and not knowing the repercussions. Not everyone is comfortable with adb commands, and often they screw themselves over if they don't know what they're doing.

That's not bad advice.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
I always assumed you were rooted, thus looking for the root option.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I am. I hate the root version though, because YouTube is always asking to be updated in the play store.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
Then use the Hide My Applist LSPosed module to hide YouTube (and any other app you may desire) from Google Play Store - no more updates, no annoyances. 😁

Note: don't forget to uninstall Vanced microG if you decide to go back to the Vanced root version!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krystiano:
How to uninstall 🤔🤔 NWM I founded.

But how hide YT ??
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
Install the module above (assuming you already have the LSPosed framework) and configure it. For detailed explanation on how to do that, I believe there is a help section on the module's GitHub website however, it's pretty much self explanatory.

You don't need the Magisk module. It works flawlessly!

As far as Vanced root version, don't forget to start by installing the official YouTube - otherwise Vanced YouTube won't install.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TotallyAnxious:
Use TeMeFi
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Typically if I need to hide an app, or make it think I'm on a current version, I just modify the apk file details and I'm good.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jcp2:
I just always use Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted system apps. :)

Seems like vanced manager doesn't work anymore.

Unfortunately, I've updated the version of my phone and now I don't have youtube vanced.

I was able to download apk bundle from apkmirror, but I don't know how to install it as a root app, because I don't want to use microG seems like it's draining the battery sometimes.

I have a rooted phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pierro78:
same issue here ... using kiwi with ublock origin & Youtube Backround Playback ( https://github.com/kiwibrowser/android/issues/60#issuecomment-1070852906 ) for now ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stalls:
I used adb to uninstall the youtube system app.

adb shell

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

I then used a backup file on ti backup to restore. Or u could use adb to install. Then use vanced to reinstall.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
I think he is referring to the aspect of no longer being able to install the apps from the original vanced manager.

You can still install Vanced Manager, however, you can no longer download the YT Vanced and YTM Vanced apps via Vanced Manager. There are, however, alternative options that are indeed working on A13.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CitizenStile:
I would recommend looking into ReVanced, specifically ReVanced Builder. When I started having issues getting Vanced manager to download the packages, I came across RV Builder and was able to follow its simple GUI to create and install ReVanced. It is not distributed in the same way as Vanced and from my understanding it should be less likely to get a cease and decist from google. It simply patches the existing google apk's
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
Vanced Official (direct install - doesn't need Vanced Manager). Be aware though, it comes with A LOT of built-in trackers - 55 to be exact. 😡

Since you are rooted I recommend installing App Manager from F-Droid. It does a very good job at stopping those pesky trackers and it's one of those "gems in the dirt" FOSS apps no one knows about.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
Vanced manager works for me, even if I test just the non root version, as I'm not rooted
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
F-droid is similar to social media by blocking people for ideological motives. I will most likely install directly from their source. Thanks for the app recommendation.

EDIT: This is an excellent app. Thanks for the help!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
Yes, op mentioned he doesn't want to use microg and the non-rooted path because of trackers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
F-Droid is NOT behaving like social media - false rumors!

You're welcome!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
I was able to do this with windows/ADB/JDK17 but not with termux in android itself. Thanks for this tool link!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
You are right. My apologies.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
I compiled on windows 11 and when the app installs using the windows 11 method of injection, the app keeps force closing. Did it do this for you?

EDIT: I am attempting through Termux on android device.

EDIT2: It works using android build! It's better than using vanced manager. More control over which version of youtube you want to use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stalls:
I used adb to uninstall the youtube system app.

adb shell

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

I then used a backup file on ti backup to restore. Or u could use adb to install. Then use vanced to reinstall.

That above is the exact method I used and I downloaded and installed through vanced manager just fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
That's odd as the download links utilized within vanced manager aren't live any longer. You may have gotten it installed a day or two before the links were killed. Or perhaps you changed to a custom URL from within the vanced manager's settings?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lottarake:
Once you restore the app, Vanced Manager will show the downloads as available for reinstallation. I've done this as well to reinstall for the amoled variant.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
With all the trackers now disabled for this Vanced version using App Manage, do you feel this is safe to log into? Or perhaps the newer Revanced is the safer option?

EDIT/UPDATE - just used the Revanced magisk module which is super simple & safe feeling. Just flash in Magisk and it patches stock YouTube app with all vanced features. Plus using Mindetach to hide it from Play Store updates, all working nicely!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
I know nothing about Revanced but I'll definitely give it a try.

As for logging in to YouTube, I believe the greatest danger lies in voluntarily creating traceble breadcrumbs for Google to keep building data on you, much more than exposing yourself to pesky ads from an obscure developer. For that reason, personally, I would never login to the YouTube app, instead I use a dedicated (key word = dedicated) browser where I'm logged in to my Google account for YouTube comments, account management, etc.

While I do realize the inconveniences of this approach, I strongly believe it's the only way to efficiently safeguarding against greedy corporations - just stop playing their dirty games.

P.S. I use New Pipe for bookmarking and otherwise organizing YouTube videos. You like a video, you can simply share it from YouTube, open it in New Pipe and then organize it the same way you would do in YouTube. The fundamental differences:

1. NO ACCOUNT NECESSARY!!! AND

2. New Pipe is a known, private FOSS app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
That's what I do to. Copy the links of my playlists from YouTube and bookmark them in NewPipe. Also import my subscriptions via Takeout. Works out pretty well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
Gotcha. So you mustn't have done a full wipe during the phone update as the download links are no longer present. The option to reinstall, however, still shows up if the local apk files are still in storage.

I went through this process yesterday and the links were no longer present after a full device wipe during my upgrade to the stable build of A13. Those download links, when fetched, were definitely killed as they no longer work on a normal desktop web browser. But regardless, it isn't too big a deal considering there are plenty of Magisk modules out there now for ReVanced =)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
I've never used Takeout but I will definitely give it a try - thanks for sharing! 👍

The whole point of this exercise though, is getting rid of all Google traces - which means a deGoogled phone:

- No Google account on the phone,

- No Google Play Services,

- No Google Play Store

- Alternative YouTube apps (obviously without logging in).

- I still use Maps strictly for navigation (no searches) but without logging in. An excellent FOSS Maps substitute, for searches and directions only (no navigation) is GMaps WV from F-Droid - which is in fact a Google Maps WebView Wrapper.

That's it for Google! 😁

Lastly, AdGuard perfectly complements my anonymity efforts.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
Have a link to the magisk module? I didn't realize they had one.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ivanzipfer:
Today I was able to download youtube from vanced manager. But I'm not able to install it as root. It's telling that:

"Installation failed because user tried to downgrade the package. Uninstall updates from the stock app, then try again"

Not sure to what package is referred to?

Uninstalling native youtube didn't help.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] brendan802:
You need to install debloater terminal emulator and use that to remove the stock apps YouTube and YouTube music then try the vanced manager again. If you can't get it to work still then there is a modified vanced manager called manager reborn that will certainly work as long as the original apps are removed. I was in the same situation and I absolutely need vanced for YouTube to be tolerable and this worked for me.

Can you see yt in file manager? What happens if you click open as soon as you install?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rophiroth:
I was hiding youtube because before uninstall vanced youtube I try to hide from playstore to see if that make it not to crush... haha so I have to install youtube in order to unhide youtube, then reinstall and reboot... now I have youtube and try the youtube module of LPosed and I can play background... I see an ad at the home, dont know if it shows ads in the middle of videos... looks like not, hopefully.

Is there a revanced module easy to install? I dont want to build anything... also try and have to update jdk and im too lazy for that haha
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:

Some sugestions for android 13 to test? I will try later, at the moment im conforted with no ads on videos and background play with the LPosed module
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FireRattus:
Those different repositories are for different purposes like the patches repo is used by revanced for the latest patch updates, without say needing a manager update, you only really need to worry about the manager and checking the patches page to see what versions of which apps are supported
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nacos:
Insyall

Install the revanced module - flash in Magisk.

If for whatever reasons it crashes at start, then:

1. Uninstall everything and start by reinstalling the official YouTube either from Play Store or Aurora Store.

2. Reboot and then flash the revanced module on top of the official YouTube.

3. Reboot again and enjoy.

Once in a blue moon (depending on your configuration) reVanced might get uninstalled during reboot. You know it's happening if/when instead of seeing the logo (Samsung), the phone force reboots again by itself. When this happens simply follow the steps 1 through 3 again. 😁
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rophiroth:

Its not like HTC-enlargestartmenu and is really fingerfriendly.

Works smooth and without any problem sinice 2 month, I dont want to miss anymore.

Only problem:

On my Hermes with WM6.0 it closes with an error when I slide out hardwarekeyboard (error: cant open file....no certificate or some components not found....blablabla.......)

I´m searching for this little program (touchstartmenu.cab) wich works in landscape too.

Anyone knows where the cab is from? (Touchstartmenu.cab) maybe the developer of this cab can help. (searched up and down and asked the poster in kaiserforum too, but got no answer)
