I can't tell if you're being critical or supportive, and I certainly can't determine your target!
[Android Apps and Games] Lech1991:
I don't get one thing:

Doesn't simply the clean install solve the issue? I mean, watch history is recorded correctly on your Google account and is properly visible on Youtube.com, it was just not pulled to the app.

Or maybe I'm wrong at some point here?
[Android Apps and Games] huguitoxda:
I understand. Thank you very much for your response! In fact, that's what I do, I only update when there is a correction for a function I use frequently, in this case, the playback history. I didn't know where to turn to find out if the problem solution had already been implemented in auto-cli, that's why I asked. Fearful of sounding repetitive, thank you again for sharing your work.
[Android Apps and Games] ac17:
Thanks. Clean install with this fixed it! 🤗 ❤️

Awesome project BTW. Have never had an issue in the past.

ReX will be discontinued too.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Well, that's what usually happens with one-man projects.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Ikr 🤷
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Hopefully not with yours... anytime soon 😅
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
@Retrial doesn't have his own fork or something like that (as far as I know?). He's doing a very time consuming job to hold all of this GitHub projects up to date, patch them and upload them for the public which is more than enough, beside his always up to date OP inc. FAQ.

And he has a trustworthy reputation so that users can download his ready-made APKs without any worries.Normally only GitHub is the source to download from, any shady side that isn't mentioned here or on GitHub should be avoided!

Anyway, I agree, these one man projects (REX,RVX) tend to be discontinued so my advice is to stay/change to ReVanced for the time being as there's a team working on it . I'm pretty sure @Retrial has the same opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I think he means here on XDA. Well, it's not in my plans to abandon the thread any time soon. Perhaps I will only stop providing apks if the upcoming big update of ReVanced Manager becomes more friendly to "noobs" but we will see..

The Auto-CLI by taku is also good solution for noobs.

Yeap, it's been some time we both recommend that, If you don't like to switch projects every now and then...

Actually if someone has a telegram can go to that announcement and see the comments, even the dev of rex etc. suggest to move to revanced as "alternative".
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
This is for the meantime the history didn't worked and if you want to get it back.

I personally have history turned off, I don't care about it so I don't know much.

However if you are gonna use that script be careful some reported that google banned accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] Lech1991:
Out of curiosity:

Have you ever heard about Google account being banned because of just using ReVanced (or Vanced/RVX/REX/etc)?

I was also wondering about that recently.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Nope neither for the old vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Yep, that's what I meant 🙃 And appreciation for your work, it's very useful for not so tech-savvy peeps like my mum 😁
[Android Apps and Games] Jumbo100:
"Necessity is the mother of invention" ... but we all eventually have to leave home some time.

Thanks always for your awesome work. It's selfless dedication to projects/threads like yours (and projects like @Datastream33's Fire Toolbox and the folks at RethinkDNS) that keep personal tech accessable to all of us.

Thanks for the journey .... it's been a blast ! 🎇
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:

@Retrial ReX has yet again altered the released version of the patches, thus breaking the file integrity check for about an hour.

No clue who in their right mind updates releases, without making it a new release...

[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
2 questions....

1) I have now installed revanced extension version 19.02.39. Why was the Share option removed from the flyout menu? Can it be brought back?

2) Is all I need is the keystore to backup and restore all my settings?
[Android Apps and Games] lukeprokopec:
hi, i went with revanced cuz i heard rvx and rex are discontinued. it was working fine for awhile. but now, whenever i launch the app, the home page doesn't have any thumbnails and it just says 'try searching to get started'. any solution to this?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
FAQ > Q: Homescreen is empty, only search bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Go to regular Revanced. RVX and ReX are discontinued.

To backup your settings, you need to go Misc > Import/Export settings. You just copy the strings inside the box to a .txt file and you keep it as backup.
[Android Apps and Games] wonzay:
I did this yesterday and I see almost no difference. Regular revanced is fine. Keep your "vanced microg".
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
So revanced extended 19.02.39 is installed. Even if it's discontinued it works perfectly. Should I keep it or install regular revanced?

Does regular revanced have the same features as extended now?
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Read the FAQ. Read the OP. Or search the thread. All these questions have been answered over and over again and are answered in the first thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Laboa14:
Hi! I switched from RVX to Revanced.

I want to put inside the bubble the playback speed but I can't find the toogle... Hope someone could help me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Extended (ReX) will work for some time sure but you will have to move to regular in long term, since new issues will appear.

99.9% ReVanced will cover your needs.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I think Revanced doesn't have that button there, instead you can manage the playback speed in the settings icon at the top right corner in the player, above the marked ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Laboa14:
Yes, but the RVX option was more easy... Maybe I'll go back to RVX
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I don't find the need of any other option so important that I couldn't live without it. Revanced doing the job is designed for. Block Ads & some customizations which for the majority of users are enough.

RVX-ReX are bloated with options which many users don't use or don't care.

However if you think your issue is important you can request it at Revanced GitHub. If you have good arguments they may accept it and implement it.

Both Extended projects are EOL. Extended will work for some time but soon or later a new issue will appear, like the recent one with history. If you want a long term support move to ReVanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
🤡All ReVanced Extended (ReX) apks have been updated with the latest patches v2.220.9 (secretly updated 11/03/2024)

cc @taku-nm
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
Can not update latest extended
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Try clean install. Export your current setting before you do it and import later.
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
I might as well just install Revanced since Extended is going away, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Since I did clean install ROM on my device, the import of my backup keystore may didn't worked correctly and so the incompatible but I am not sure. Clean install of ReX should work.

Well my suggestion to everyone is to move to ReVanced for long term support and cleaner app.

Extended one day says discontinued the next day continued, the next next day discontinued.... now releasing updates "secretly" in previous releases 🫠
[Android Apps and Games] Genetic517:
Looks like someone else is continuing the extended project. Any chance this can be your source for pre-made extended apks in the future?

I know about it and there is another fork too. But all these devs are bunch of kids. Tomorrow they will stop development again.

Also I read some users have issues with these patches. I would wait a bit more to settle and see about that fork.

I guess I will provide apks but I am tired with that ****. Why all these kids doesn't group up and make a team so they can maintain all together that project and when someone is busy the development won't stop?

btw for anyway interesting patching it, with RVX Manager change the sources to this.

Any idea of why???

Confused here. Dont you mean that the patches are updated as of 11/03/2023 not 11/03/2024?
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
You got to go into the settings for that in the revanced part.
[Android Apps and Games] danyrd:
Sorry, but where? i dont see any option like that in the revanced part.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
@zlaer the patches updated secretly at 13/03/2024.

The dev use the old release instead of new release.

The reason? 🤡

I'm confused here. How was it secretly updated when you said that ReX were now obsolete and wont be updated anymore?? I dont get it
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Why you ask me? Ask the devs of Extended project(s), they clearly don't know what they want and even more they update secretly 🤡 ofc they won't take our permission for what they gonna do but they confuse their users so much which became a parody. Forks after forks, discontinued/continue, clean install, rollback versions etc.

I said it many times, if you want something for long term switch to Official ReVanced which maintained by a team.

Noticed a strange bug in the latest REX, when opening the description box, first is it takes two taps to expand the description instead of the usual one which isn't really a problem, but when you try to hold and scroll through the description it scrolls all over the place, usually all the way up or down on its own
[Android Apps and Games] BrahmaGandhi:
Hi, i'm having play issue since today, either with both latest RvX/ReX.

it says: "The following content is not available in this application.

Watch in the latest version of.."

never had issue until now, i was using older RvX 18.45.41. i tried both latest RvX/ReX + microg v5.1 RE.. still doesn't work.

Any help please? Thank you guys
[Android Apps and Games] AutomaticFailure27:
Yep same deal, checked the Reddit and other people are experiencing the same issue. This happened to me on an older version of Extended, then I upgraded to the latest REX with same results.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
it is a bug. we will se if it will be solved, because my youtube account works normally on every platform. PC on browser with Adguard extension, on android tv - smarttube which is also patched and have no ads or sponsors.
[Android Apps and Games] _Negan_:
Same here since today
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Try ReVanced. If you're rooted use the magisk module.
[Android Apps and Games] KidCarter93:
Regular revanced should always be the go-to over RvX/ReX.

Admittedly, I haven't tried either of those 2 but, based on comments in this thread alone, they have way more issues than regular revanced. Also more consistent as the other keep getting discontinued and then back up and running within days. That's the main reason why Retrial doesn't recommend them aswell.

I've been using Revanced for ages without issues. Looks like the same can't be said for the others
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
We are all using revanced i think.

I cant root my phone, it is on warranty 1.5 year.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:

I'm talking about the difference between ReVanced/REX,RVX.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
I tried all of them. Same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Some workarounds may be:

1. Turn off "Spoof player parameter".

2. Turn on Incognito.

3. Switch to another channel in your account for a while.

4. Install the root version.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:

[Android Apps and Games] cashflow67:
@Retrial Hello. I have a little question. My device is Galaxy A54 5G, is it possible to split armv8 and 480p parts from universal apk before patching? Because apk size is big and as far as I know main apk has useless armv7, x86 etc. parts. If you know the way , can we patch this armv8 apk with ReVanced manager?
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
If I take a look in the magisk module the parts of arm,arm64,x64 and x86 are about 250kb. That would not be worth the work.

You can take a look in the bundled APK on APK mirror to check if there's more to lower the size (languages for example) inside the base.apk.

I'm not sure what's the goal for you so sorry if I misunderstood.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
All ReVanced Extended (ReX) apks updated with the latest patches v2.220.10.

⚠️From now and go on, you will need GMSCore ReVanced instead of the regular MicroG. (Check here)

📝Notes:

Playback issues should be completely fixed.

If you are facing crashing in new ReX version, please:

- Make sure that you have installed correct microG version

The app package name is: app.revanced.android.gms

- Go to microG Settings —> Self-check and tick all options.

- Make sure that you HAVE STOCK YOUTUBE in your system, if not INSTALL IT! (Check this comment why)

- If you got crashed with YouTube Music, install stock YTM from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Is MicroG RE or how is it called (MicroG who looks nicer) still ok to use? Or should we switch?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Switch, you need GMSCore ReVanced for Extended and when new update for ReVanced released, then for ReVanced too.

I don't know if MicroG RE will adapt the changes, I think @WSTxda said he will contribute to GMSCore ReVanced and will stop MicroG RE.
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
Hey.. I tried updating to revanced Rex 19.05.36 for non-root. But upon opening it I get this error: "microG is not found." Then I get directed to a github page to download the latest microG v0.3.0.234355 even though I had microG installed which was 3 years old.

From there I download "com.mgoogle.android.gms-234355.apk'. After that I still get the same error and microG is not installed anywhere on my phone.

Can someone help with this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Read the last few posts before yours 😉
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You need to have stock YouTube app installed and use the gmscore revanced for microG.

Read here.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Update on this, WSTxda said:

"Hello everyone, as some may know there have been changes in GmsCore (microg) for ReVanced.

To avoid repetitive questions, yes, I will synchronize these changes in MicroG RE, but only when I have time.

My initial idea was to discontinue and try to contribute to ReVanced directly, but as I believe they should not attribute MicroG RE UI changes, I will continue this fork.

PS: I'm working on something with ViPER4Android so it's going to take me considerable time to do this, so don't wait for me, migrate to ReVanced GmsCore if necessary and see you soon."

I guess so. The reason is this:
[Android Apps and Games] tiga05:
At first, it did not work for me, too. I also received the errors, other users mentioned.

But then I saw your post was from saturday. There is a new Revanced Manager Version (0.43) since today. So I have installed the older version 0.42, which works absolutely fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I already did some changes. I will take a look again tomorrow to see how can I improve it.

Thanks.

Just saw the new release 0.43. I will take a look tomorrow see if any changes needed. Btw u used 17.43.36 version or 17.45.36 with 0.43 manager?

Thanks.

Edit: I just the saw the announcement from Official ReVanced. So the issue is indeed with 0.43. Workaround to use 0.42 as you mentioned.

I've edited the OP to mention 0.42 version.

Thanks again.
