You need to download & install any third party downloader like : Seal , YTDLnis or even NewPipe.

Then go to ReVanced Settings > Interaction > External download settings > Downloader package name > and there you put the package name of one of these apps I mentioned above.

For Seal: com.junkfood.seal

For YTDLnis: com.deniscerri.ytdl

For NewPipe: org.schabi.newpipe

Then you can go to any video you want to download and press the download button which is inside the player screen not below. Below is the stock youtube downloader which u need premium to use. You can hide that download button to not get confused at ReVanced Settings > Layout > scroll down a bit > Hide action buttons > enable "Hide download button".

For RVX or ReX is the same method but location of the settings may be different. If u use RVX/ReX check this guide.

ReVanced Extended (RVX) YouTube & YT Music updated with the latest patches v2.210.1.
[Android Apps and Games] Skeuomorph:
The thing is I'd really prefer not resorting to the Mega app, since it means having to make yet another account, something I'm trying to avoid at all costs right now.

The suggestion about Brave is much more appealing to me, but either I'm doing something wrong, or it just doesn't work, either. I already installed and set it up, but when I tried to download from Mega it once again showed me the warning message about being unable to download it on a mobile browser. 😖

I understand, of course, though, if Mega is working the best for you, then by all means you should stick to it, like wonzay said, you're the one doing us a favor here, and I really don't mean to be an ungrateful f**k 😉, I'm just trying to find some way to download your apks on my phone, since other options are harder for me at the moment. And your pre-made apks are a godsend for me, because due to some technical reasons, I can't use the Revanced Manager on my phone at all.

It worked like a charm this time around, cheers! Now I'm very curious to see what else can be done with this beauty. 😁 Will have to take a look at it later.

I like that your first suggestion was Seal. I've been using it for the past half year or so myself and it works beautifully.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
That's understandable that's why I suggested even better use Cromium browser.

Brave working fine for me 🤷 May I ask what device you use?

This is an article I found about the issue:

What are the file size limitations when downloading using my browser? - MEGA Help Centre

Learn more about file size limitations when downloading and decrypting files on-the-fly in your browser from MEGA.

help.mega.io

It's ok, I don't see you as ungrateful, perhaps I would wondering the same if I was unable to download via browser.

I'm just explaining why I prefer MEGA atm.

Termux is good for multiple things but a bit complex for an average casual user :p

[Android Apps and Games] cashflow67:
@Retrial Hello. Can you upload another site? Because it says quota exceeded even if I try in browser or android app. But I downloaded only Rvx YouTube apk two days ago. In my country (Turkey), mega creates extra limitations. Maybe you can use mediafire or pixeldrain.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I will check mediafire later.

Edit: I see the basic plan doesn't have long term storage and have ads :/
[Android Apps and Games] pratik_193:
how about google drive? free tier has 15gb free storage. You can maybe limit to keep only latest or penultimate version of all apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I believe the Gdrive would have the same "quota exceeded" limitation as the user above mentioned plus it would be somehow weird to upload "ReVanced" to "Google" 😆.

I didn't expected to encounter so many problems when I moved the apps from AFH to MEGA Cloud. 😕

I personally don't experience any issue but some users find it hard to use MEGA.
[Android Apps and Games] pratik_193:
haha.. yeah. revanced on google.! that would be insane.

I am one of the users who face issue downloading from Mega :(
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Google Drive isn't meant for sharing files with a lot of people.

It has limits on downloads and when you share a link, if several users access it in a short period of time, Drive will block the link for 24 hours.

Hello guys,

Don't know if it's the right place to post an issue I'm facing for about a week now, so if it's not, I apologize.

The Issue :

Mounting the app doesn't work, even after a reboot (RVX Manager)

There's no errors at all, and the manager has root permissions, files are getting created in ADB folder but the youtube app is still the stock one (non system app)

I tried to make as many screenshot as possible + a log, can anyone help please ?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Move to GitHub, that's the platform for development

Please don't use DropBox, Google Drive - they are really more for personal use/groups (also ike Mega), for docs, etc
[Android Apps and Games] cashflow67:
did you try pixeldrain?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Pixeldrain won't work for @Retrial

5 GB per day.

Download speed is reduced to 1 MiB/s when exceeded.

Max 5 concurrent downloads.

MEGA seems to be the best option if AFH continues to be random.

There are workarounds for users that have issues with MEGA but they need users to search and try them - downloading big encrypted files and then unencrypting them once complete is obviously going to cause issues for some.
[Android Apps and Games] elgab:
Please don't use DropBox, Google Drive

Is a toxic model: they removed the size and sort by size column, is not available in the browser - just so the user get confused, cannot maintain quota and force upsell more storage.
[Android Apps and Games] wonzay:
You can do many things like: write your owns small scripts/programs in bash, python, c++ etc., communicate with your pc/other smartphone via ssh, operate microcontrollers via wifi/net and much more. I have been a linux user for over ten years and I really like termux for android, it's a great tool. The command line is not dead yet and now helps with mega.nz. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Skeuomorph:
Sure, it's a Moto G5 Plus; maybe its age is what's causing me such a problem? Or the fact I've got around 89% of the storage full? 😅

🤣 Yeah, I feared as much!

😎👍

Thank you! I'm afraid I'm no programmer or developer, and as our friend Retrial pointed out, it's pretty much a safe bet I would find it quite daunting to use it for such things, at least at the moment, but it's always good to know such things exist 😉, and like I said, it worked wonders on downloading the file without having to resort to a PC browser or the Mega app, so at the very least I'll definitely keep using it for that. 😁
[Android Apps and Games] sliceanddice9:
I'm using the 18.45.43 version of the YouTube APK for ReVanced Extended which has the preloaded buffer delay issue where the first 0.7 seconds of any video you start to watch opens with poor picture quality before eventually switching to the actual default video quality which I have set to 1080p.

The workaround for this to get the default video quality to be applied straight away is to enable the 'Skip preloaded buffer' feature in 'Experemential Flags' which skips the first 0.7 seconds of every video you open. It's a little annoying.

Does anyone know what one of the latest older recommended YouTube APK versions for ReVanced Extended is that does not have this preloaded buffer delay issue? or better yet is there a newer recommended YouTube APK version that fixes this?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I just checked on my old Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013 device) running custom ROM A12 ROM based on LineageOS.

Using Brave I was able to download the largest file which is TikTok just fine (and I am sure Cromite browser will also work fine). In the 99-100% while was decrypting it seems stuck but you need to wait a bit, after a while I got the prompt to save the file on my device. Voilà!

It may be the storage or some permission in your case but I am not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
MEGA Cloud Download Issues - Workarounds:

Some users may face issues while trying to download a file from MEGA Cloud. This is mostly happening during the decryption of the file:

What are the file size limitations when downloading using my browser? - MEGA Help Centre

Learn more about file size limitations when downloading and decrypting files on-the-fly in your browser from MEGA.

help.mega.io

Try these Workarounds:

Use Brave Browser, Cromite Browser or any Chromium based Browser. If it seems stuck at 99-100%, wait a bit, check #3,493.

Use MEGA app.

Termux method: Check this guide by @wonzay.

Use your PC Browser, download and transfer the apk to your device via LocalSend or wired.

If you get "quota exceeded" message like this user, re-try later or try via other wifi/mobile data/vpn.

Till I find a better solution, I will stick to MEGA Cloud, sorry.

Added to FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Exactly.

I am thinking about SourceForge but I don't know if I am eligible to upload these apks there. I understand SourceForge is only for open source projects and I don't know if ReVanced apks count as open source.

Last solution is if I can to use an XDA post to upload all the apks there and create hyperlinks for each app. That will require to always change the links of the apps in each update..

Last time I tried to upload multiple .apks (more than 2-3) on xda post, I couldn't for some reason, that's why I was using .zips.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
Install Mega app, make account and ot must work.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
That's not the worst solution. You get 50gb of free storage with that account and get rid of problems with ReVanced downloads.

I have a Mega account for several years and I have zero problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
No problems with MEGA here either.

They only give you 20gb free now though.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
In order to gain all the MEGA free storage bonuses, Account Registration Bonus (35GB), Install MEGAsync (20GB), Install Mobile app (15GB) and Inviting a friend (10GB).

Most of these perks have an expiry dates which is usually by an email notice stating that the mega free storage achievements are expiring.

I suppose that the revenue they get from users on paid plans very likely exceeds their storage and other costs.

I just noticed it, but here we go again:

suggestion: · Issue #1884 · inotia00/ReVanced_Extended

feat(YouTube): add `Disable update screen` patch · Issue #1890 · inotia00/ReVanced_Extended

Application YouTube Feature description YouTube v18.45.43 will be the last version supported by RVX. Therefore, this version should be available as long as possible. Google shows you the following ...

github.com

Seems RVX will be discontinued soon...again.
[Android Apps and Games] sliceanddice9:
This time it will be forever, can't see him returning again to ReVanced Extended like he did last time. Hopefully the new patch update - 'Disable Update Screen' will allow the 18.45.43 version to work for 2 or 3 years, and hopefully by then ReVanced has caught up with the features that ReVanced Extended has given us.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
But what will happen if google add new ads/banners etc.? These new ads shouldn't be patched too?

I've said it again but honestly I don't see the important benefits of RVX nowdays, it was good at start when ReVanced didn't had some useful patches but now ReVanced is perfectly fine without bloated options.

Remember Vanced didn't even had so many options and everyone was happy now people demanding more and more.

In the end all we want is to block ads in the app. ReVanced doing that fine no need something else.

ReVanced is a whole team, these forks are standalones with no long term future.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I don't know the reason inotia00 wants to discontinue his project again.

Perhaps he burned out, or he doesn't have time or he thinks his fork is not needed it anymore.

Idk but I respect him for his work, it was a good and the most popular fork of ReVanced, but seems it started to become a bit unnecessary.
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
Revanced ended?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
No, the fork ReVanced Extended (RVX) by inotia00 will be discontinued soon.

ReVanced is continue.
[Android Apps and Games] sliceanddice9:
I understand your point and you're right that we've become greedy with demanding more and more.

The one and only feature I really wish ReVanced would adobt (which ReVanced Extended has and even the original Vanced had as well), is the video brightness control via the swipe gensture to be globally set for ALL videos even when exiting/closing the app and then re-opening the app.

Right now, say you watch a video in landscape mode with a video brightness of 75 that you set via the brightness control gesture, if you close ReVanced and then re-open ReVanced the global brightness for when you watch videos in landscape mode defaults to 0 instead of the previously set 75.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I see you have already created an issue / issue #2 in ReVanced GitHub since long time.

With good arguments, I don't see a reason the team and osumatrix to not include that.

The issue closed and reopened, that's a good sign.

Cc @taku-nm.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
Hello, I am currently using the Vanced YouTube music version. I thought there used to also be settings in yt vanced but maybe I didn't notice them.

Is there by chance a way to disable the samples button at the bottom? I don't use it and was trying to find a way to hide it.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You mean ReVanced?

If there is no patch for Samples then I don't think you can hide it. I don't use ReVanced Music so I don't know much about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lech1991:
Speaking about potential differences between ReVanced and ReVanced Extended:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "Custom seekbar color" and "Translations" patches, both present in RVX, are missing from ReVanced. Am I right?

For me personally, the seekbar color change is very useful, especially when used alongside the SponsorBlock feature (e.g. I have it blue, as ads section for me are marked red).
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You can find custom seekbar color option as I also mention at FAQ at post #2 in:

ReVanced Settings > Layout > Scroll down at bottom > Seekbar > Custom seekbar color.

ReVanced yeah doesn't have translations in the ReVanced Settings but I don't think it's important, in fact it's better to stay English.

RVX has translations patch but I personally don't include it in my pre-made apks since some words/sentences match and make better sense in English and some translators make mistakes or bad translations which have as result to be harder to understand the purpose of each option.
[Android Apps and Games] Lech1991:
Oh, sorry, I went through the patch list on official ReVanced website, searching for "seekbar" keyword. Didn't realize it's included in "Theme" patch.

As for the translations, it's just I noticed that when testing ReVanced, but I totally agree it's not crucial. Just thought it'd be good to have a choice.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yeap, I included this at FAQ long ago because it was a bit hidden and difficult to find that option.

I think translations will be in ReVanced Manager v2 when it comes.

They may add for revanced settings too, idk.

[Android Apps and Games] V0latyle:
Has anyone else noticed the screen dimming as if there's a toast or other pop up notification when YouTube is launched? Swiping "back" gets rid of it, but it's pretty annoying to deal with every time I open the app.

I've tried uninstalling app update and reflashing the Magisk module as well as clearing data.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yeap, it's already fixed on dev branch, it will roll out on next update. Workaround for the time being:

press back button

go to settings > ReVanced settings > ads > disable "hide full screen ads"

restart app
[Android Apps and Games] V0latyle:
Thank you. Had the full screen ad when I relaunched the app, but after force closing and relaunching it didn't appear.

What's the point of changing/updating that app just for the better UI, if the only purpose of having it installed is to be able to login, and you never ever open the app again if that works fine? ...or that's only me? 😉

And just to confirm:

All the currently working versions and its forks

(Vanced's/ReVanced's/Inotia00's/GmsCore, and so on) are still expected to work fine, with both ReVanced and RVX?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You are not forced to change anything. I will just replace my links on my guides and I wanted to inform you.

All of these working fine as I always say but since inotia00 will discontinue his projects soon, I personally want to have something alive and updated plus the better ui etc. ...because why not if that option is available and you can use it? 🤷

It's not like I change all the time the microG links but I find MicroG RE by @WSTxda neat project.

Guys, for the last three days, my Samsung Galaxy A52s keeps reporting that ReVanced (and the extended) consume too much memory (RAM). Does this have something to do with the fact that YT is messing up with any ad-blocking attempt?

Is there any way to enable resolutions over 1080p in either RV or RVext? I tried enabling VP9 but I still can't choose higher resolutions.

It's not necessary to change it at all if you don't want.

But if you wanna do it, you just:

Uninstall Vanced MicroG

Install MicroG RE

Open ReVanced or RVX

@WSTxda thank you for the MicroG RE app, kudos! Extremely seamless implementation and a clean interface. I had no issues with the other microg which I had been using for years now (many thanks to their devs), except for a nagging little issue wherein after every clean install of firmware, I had to use *#*#2432546#*#* for Google cloud messaging current state to go from Disconnected to Connected post getting a checked in message (https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/740#issuecomment-479252876) . With MicroG RE, no Sir, cloud messaging connected right away after device registration.

@Retrial Correct decision Sire! and thank you as always.
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
I can't in RV or RvX but I was able to select 1440p in Grayjay. It didn't work very well but I'm happy to at least have the option.

It's likely that my tablet doesn't officially support the codecs used for 1440p and 2160p.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
What Tablet / ROM / Android do you have?

Do you test the same video?

When you select VP9 do you force stop app and clear cache?

Does it work on NewPipe?

You can select 1440p on Official YouTube? If not then I don't think it's ReVanced/RVX issue.

I've shared an apk of X with package name changed some time ago, check here.

I think you already tried it back then and you had some issues, unfortunately "package name change" can lead to issues for some apps and unfortunately twitter is one of these apps.

For some other apps I've tried like Infinity for Reddit working perfectly fine.
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
I don't have the option in official YT. It's a first gen Samsung Tab S T800/T805 running Android 10. It plays 4k fine as long as it's h264 so it's not unsupported, just picky. Other apps also deem it unsupported erroneously. I thought RV RvX could unlock codecs and resolutions.
