Used Revancify to update ytmusic with latest extended patches ReX was flagged by antivirus as suspicious yet inotia00 was successful. I tried the magisk module by j-hc but there were no revanced settings in yt music settings. I also tried to build using CLI but failed. For me Revancify inotia00 seems to work for now though the app name in Revancify now says YouTube-Music-Wear-OS I have patches Yt music version 6.17.52 with no virus alert or errors.

Update* I got CLI to work, I had to update build.sh and utils.sh on my fork of the repo. Now magisk module for YouTube/Ytmusic is working/updated.
[Android Apps and Games] AgENtSaRcAs:
Revanced has some unexpected bugs. ReX is running well but heavy with features I don't use. I'm running them side by side now, there's minute difference. Like V9codec, splash animation to name a few. I hope it gets added to RV soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
It's working fine for me (on the same video).
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
What kind of bugs do you have with ReVanced? Seems stable for me except the side effects of "Spoof parameter" like RVX and ReX have.

If your device is 'new' you don't need VP9 codec, splash animation is not something useful can be considered bloated.
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
I'd still like to know why the antivirus flagged ReX and not Inotia00 in Revancify 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I checked at virustotal the ReX apk I made with ReVanced Manager and it didn't found anything:

VirusTotal

VirusTotal

www.virustotal.com

What kind of antivirus do you use? Maybe false positive?
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
AVG antivirus...since Inotia00 wasn't flagged and works I'll stick with that source.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
AVG and Avast (which own avg) are both crap, can be considered themselves as malware 😋
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
That's the common opinion I'm aware. Really was more of a curiosity. I'm thinking it has something to do with the app name rather than any malicious code.
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
@Retrial I would assume since the US department of defense uses McAfee (https://www.arcyber.army.mil/Resour...bscription-for-mcafee-antivirus-for-home-use/)... it is somewhat better than AVG. McAfee pro antivirus says it is safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
McAfee is virus itself. Don't use that crap. Do some research in Reddit you will find more about it.

If you really need an Antivirus use Eset or Kasperksy. However Windows Defender is still enough for most users and it can be combined with Malwarebytes (free) for manually scan if needed.

In Android you don't need any "antivirus". It doesn't work same way as in Windows. However you can upload some apks in virustotal etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
I'm aware of the various antiviruses and how they're not necessarily needed for Linux operating systems, although there are a few types of malware in the wild. I've used clamav to scan my windows partition sometimes 😄. I was mostly just curious on the AVG alert.

As far as McAfee being a virus... I would trust the department of defense, if it's good enough for them it's good enough for the average user. Although I did used to use Kaspersky, however with the current global conflict I would see it as a security risk. The FCC has blacklisted Kaspersky. https://www.pcworld.com/article/626854/kaspersky-blacklisted-as-a-risk-to-u-s-national-security.html... the main point is ReX & Inotia00 apk/modules appear to be safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Well... department may want you to use McAfee 😉

John McAfee (founder): McAfee is the worst product in the planet:

https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/3hr9f0/_/cu9vnjn

Even if he was controversial person i think his words combined with users opinions over the time it's enough to end up on conclusion McAfee is crap. Your PC will agree too when you format it and you see the difference without it. xD

I am not defending Kaspersky but it's much better compared to these (McAfee - AVG - Avast etc.)

I personally use Defender+Malwarebytes and common sense in my PC but if I ever buy an Antivirus that would be Eset or Kasperksy.

And yes ReX and RVX are safe don't worry, just make sure you patch it by yourself or you get it from trusted source.
[Android Apps and Games] Ellins:
So I tried to reinstall both microg and ReVanced (even repatch the apk using RVM). Strange that the dislike finally appears.. but once I logged in with my account, it's gone again. Tried using different microg but same result, the dislike disappears whenever i logged in using Google account. I'm using non root, anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
@Retrial wasn't he found dead in a prison in Spain? Anyways doing some research it is interesting the DoD has been using McAfee since 1997!

Sept. 1, 1997

Now since COVID they've been using McAfee enterprise apparently...

Defending our DoD Customers at Home | McAfee Blog

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, I heard that many of our Defense customers would be working from home and immediately thought, “We have to help them do

www.mcafee.com

...just thought it interesting to see what the DoD thinks ...🧐
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
That's why I said "he was controversial person" but that doesn't change the fact what his opinion was, about the product he founded.

Well, as I said US may want you to use McAfee 😉 ..the reasons are obvious.

The whole subject about antiviruses is interesting, I may open another thread some day in the proper xda section to have an open discussion about them. 😋
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
@Retrial well let me know if you do start that thread. I'm interested. But back on topic of Revanced. Should I build using Revancify or CLI? I got the latest magisk modules to build by forking j-hc repo but also Revancify works as well as Revanced manager. Not sure which one to continue to use?
[Android Apps and Games] AgENtSaRcAs:
Bugs- Breaking news shelf not hidden, music album art not hidden and few UI interactions like not being able to force pip. Overall doesn't seem 'smooth'

True, I use A53 but I have relatives who run old samsung devices with whom I share the apks with. So vp9 codec is a must.

I don't feel the same way about Splash Animation. I kinda like it, its fun. But,. yes it is a kind of bloatware
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Use w/e you like until ReVanced Manager v2 comes out. Manager should fix a lot of the current issues :P
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I loved John McAfee, great product until he sold it. I use Sophos Intercept X (free) with PUA detection turned off, no issues. If ever in doubt, check VirusTotal!
[Android Apps and Games] AgENtSaRcAs:
Where can I find info regarding RV manager 2? Rough idea on when I'll be out?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
I'm sure @Retrial will post as soon as it's out and tested.

As usual on XDA no ETAs
[Android Apps and Games] flaxfrogfriend:
Is there a trick to play 1080p video but not 60 fps?

My phone have Mediatek CPU and can't handle both.

And nowadays 720p seems washed if compared to the quality of years ago.
[Android Apps and Games] mortaest:
Should I use RVX or ReX? I'm a bit lost here...

I already made my mind about the extended version instead of the standard one, but now there are two of them
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Check the "Informations & Links" at OP to get an idea about extended project.

They confused their users with all these.

If you want my opinion use regular revanced, if you really want Extended use RVX, if some day doesn't work switch to ReX.
[Android Apps and Games] vtheofilis:
Supposedly, the correct .apk is the 64-bit one... Since my phone's CPU is an ARM v8 CPU... but the 64 bit apk is not working. I tried the 32bit one, and it works.

I've noticed that the 32 bit one is slightly smaller. Is there any chance that the apks are mislabeled ( for example, the one at the 64 bit folder to be a 32 bit one )?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Arm should be smaller than Arm64.

Perhaps your device doesn't support arm64. 🤷

There is no mislabeled, I checked.

Anyways since the apk in arm folder working then use that 😛
[Android Apps and Games] mortaest:
I used extended because someone here advised me to months ago. But if you advise me to use the regular version instead, I'll go with it.

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] Craftyawesome:
Does your phone have less than 4GB of ram? Often manufacturers will run a 32 bit OS on low ram devices to try to save some ram.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
It's been announced and discussed that RVX development has stopped

And ReX is similar, one-man project, hence you never know how long would it go

Besides, for 99% of users, there is no useful differences between RV and RVX/ReX

Btw, I still use the older RVX Magisk modules, both for YT and Music and they work me fine
[Android Apps and Games] vtheofilis:
It does. Maybe that was the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] phaleg:
I saw that Instagram got removed?

What happened? It was amazing mod
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
One guy reported that adblock no longer works and also latest version couldn't be patched so I removed it.
[Android Apps and Games] phaleg:
To me it was working, then my mobile broke and when they returned to me from warranty, it was factory reset :/

I still have a bit of hope that in future it will become pachable :D

Again, thanks for offering us a great Youtube client
[Android Apps and Games] huguitoxda:
This guide is no longer available... Does the method still work? Is there any other guide I can follow?

I usually use Revanced Manager, but with it, I can't patch TikTok, so I want to try this method.

Why i cant patch more recent tiktok than 30.8.4? Manager 1.9.5.
[Android Apps and Games] huguitoxda:
Thank you, it works.

Grateful to you for your willingness and your ready APKs, which I will also continue using.
[Android Apps and Games] Legoman6:
Possibly the amount of memory required by ReVanced Manager to patch TikTok?

I've successfully patched TikTok > v30.8.4 using Revancify running in Termux.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
and than which keystore did it have?
[Android Apps and Games] Legoman6:
The original keystore (Revancify has it built-in); I didn't need to uninstall the unpatched version of TikTok.
[Android Apps and Games] jericho246:
On the topic of Revancify, it appears to be severely bugged for me. When selecting patches for the YouTube app, and choosing "Recommended", it kicks me to the previous page (App Selection Menu). And when I tap on YouTube to reenter the Patch Selection Menu, I get this error, which is flickering, so obviously not good.

has anyone experienced this weird bug? I already wiped the data from Termux and reinstalled Revancify, but it still happens.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
So only newest versions of one app, tiktok, cant be patched thru android revanced manager? Hope it will be fixed by team...

[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
I think you have seen, that the developer of REX asked inotia00 to merge their patches.

It's really silly....
[Android Apps and Games] Shaarigan:
inotia00 has reopened their repositories. Even if RVX stays unstable at the moment, they opened their builder tool to support the official revanced patches by this issue along with release v3.9.12 so maybe this is an alternative to revancify or building on Android using manager APK
[Android Apps and Games] tworla:
I couldn't find a patch to disable the annoying tips that periodically appear for youtube. That really needs to exist
[Android Apps and Games] BROKEN1981:
So I had to use ReVanced extended manager because the normal ReVanced causes the patched YouTube to crash.

RVX is pretty awesome. Can have Material You theme and also you can turn off the stupid emoji picker.

Don't know what idiot at Google thought this was a good idea.

Pinch to zoom doesn't work. If I binge watch say videos from Mark Felton as an example, and put my phone sideways, I'm no longer on that content creators page. If I don't go full screen, I can just swipe down to choose another video in his/her list.

To me these are bugs because on the normal YouTube, pinch to zoom and keeping place works. Also works on the normal ReVanced. Again though, ReVanced manager seems to bug when patching.

YouTube will crash, open it again and it fine. Go into settings, crash. Can never get into settings. Only RVX seems to work except those two issues I've listed.

What advice are you referring to?

If it is during bedtime or rest time, this can be deactivated from the general YouTube settings.

These recent patches are kinda bugged. Plus they don't let you turn off emoji picker like you can with ReVanced Extended Manager.

is the revanced.io website legit and official? The shown versions there seems more recent saying 18.35.35

I am confused, I only learnt about revanced today using vanced before

You'll find all these informations there.

And just to resolve the cliffhanger:

No. This site is not legit,not related to Revanced and probably will have malware in it .
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
All ReVanced Extended (RVX) apks updated with the latest patches and integrations.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Check the section "Download pre-made apks" at OP or post #2.

That website you are referring is not legit and ofc not official.

Also "more recent" version is not always right since many things may not work properly, you should always use the suggested/recommended version by Revanced Team or inotia00 if you are using Extended.

Generally if you are new to Revanced, read the sections at OP and you will find everything you need.
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
Wait...no more "rex" and "rvx"?

The reason I prefer pre packed apk is the app can coexist with "normal" (I need rex so I can use tablet mode on the phone)

Can it be done with manager?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
YT Music RV(x) users - can you play SAMPLES in background?
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
Eventually, I grabbed apk as instructed and let Manager to patch.

Now I have three different YouTube app and the self patched also has tablet interface option.

I got a warning on installation but I go ahead anyway

So far so good

[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Btw, what would RV patch for that Windy app?

Anyway, I use Windy (widget), they have good weather forecasts

But I constantly have issues with updating. In the morning, its widget is empty and notification endlessly says that it is updating data - I have to click to the widget to manually update the location and weather data

Also, when I go to work or back home, it takes long time to realize that my location has changed

I have two other weather widgets, and tested many others, and don't have that leg with updating data, or with getting stuck over night

And yes, I had disabled Battery optimization for Windy, enabled Autostart, it has permissions for Precise location but it doesn't help

However, Windy has very good maps with the winds
[Android Apps and Games] Tisnop:
Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Ok, super. You refer to the above post(s), hence one could hopefully understand

It's all pretty much complicated, hopefully not many would have real problems with all that (the guy in the other thread has some issues with Android emulator and the system installed YT app - that's not this thing)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I tried to make the building guides with steps as simple as I can but with the details and informations so each user to understand what he is doing.

The sections I've made along with the proper links redirections, I believe they can be prevent the overwhelming feeling so each user to search specifically what he wants.

ReVanced it's still something new for a lot of people, need some time to understand and adapt, like I did. I learned a lot since the time I've made the thread and tried to include these informations.

There are couple ways each user prefers to follow to install ReVanced, I tried to cover everything. If they follow the steps I don't think they will have a problem but If they do, they can post here to help them.

I could help you build yourself if you tell me what steps u did and didn't worked. (Non root or root - in what step you had problem)
