Uninstall RV Manager, reboot

Don't bother with what is packed into the RV(X) modules zip file - install the zip like any other Magisk module and reboot

And update (if you have nerves) every day or two when you see in Magisk app that the module offers the update to the latest RV(X)
[Android Apps and Games] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
@Retrial @zgfg Thank you gents. I am setting up my wife's new Pixel 8 Pro :p. What I intended to ask is whether the module is superimposing on the stock youtube app wherein I need to uninstall updates from it and then update to the appropriate version for the module to work? or I can just disable the stock app and the module operates as a separate app?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Since you are rooted, you can completely uninstall stock YouTube app and just use the Magisk module 😋
[Android Apps and Games] Ricter.0:
Can I make a custom launcher logo and custom app name on non-root or am I wasting my time?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
What custom logo and name do you want? I personally don't find a reason to do that but..

You can either patch the app by yourself and enable the custom branding patch which will change the icon and name to Revanced or check this apk editor.
[Android Apps and Games] Ricter.0:
Okay I'll have to track that app down for Android but for now I'm still experimenting I think the compiling kept failing because I had custom themes selected and use hex color codes? I don't know but it kept failing until I turn that off.

I can't access system files on Android cuz I don't have root so I tried to create a generic file path to a mitmap folder but I haven't going that to work yet.

[Android Apps and Games] dj24:
Thank You for your valuable insight once gain. You've simplified by explaining the process for this noob and it looks like I don't need to worry about updating the individual patches and integrations and can just hold off updating until a new version of Revanced Manager which includes everything gets posted here. After that I can follow your post above and follow the instructions.

The one thing I'm not sure of is the final step of exporting the apk and updating the revanced app. How do I actually do that? I know the updated apk download will be sitting there under my download folder of my S23 Ultra but I'm not sure how to actually export it. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Since i read your post and also that you went to Regular Revanced yourself, i switched also.

I'm missing the feature where there was a lot of talk about, the "Thumbnails" when you pulled upwards on the "Seekbar", and then you could scroll left/right. Was that a "Extended" feature only? Because i tried to find it in Regular Revanced (your repack) and can't find it in Options.

Also, i wish you would have renamed "YT Music Revanced" to just "YT Music" :D Because i have a Samsung Phone and even Samsung went for a rename (with Android 14 i think, i've read that somewhere) from 2 lines to 1 line of text (it's cleaner).
[Android Apps and Games] dj24:
Could you share the steps you used to add Youtube music to revanced? I didn't use the pre made apks just the basic one. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] RBTYT:
What other applications can be fixed in ReVanced Manager? What patches should I apply to them if I'm using root? Do I need to download them from APKMirror? Where can I find the manual?
[Android Apps and Games] RBTYT:
By the way, I managed to install YouTube without the Magisk module. I didn't understand the instructions correctly at first. I downloaded YouTube from APKMirror and unchecked these patches: “Vanced MicroG Support” and “Enable Debugging”.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
ReVanced Manager is not necessary to get an update to patch with new patches but usually they push update on manager too. Just make sure it's the latest release and then proceed with patching.

About export, when the patching process finish it will show the "install button" at the bottom right. Near this button at the left, are some small buttons, there you can find the export button and press it :D

Check the screenshot attachment on this post.

I don't completely understand your question about Thumbnails? What do you mean? Thumbnails preview? If so it's working fine on regular revanced too. Make sure you use the latest version.

About YT Music ReVanced, I agree, there should be a branding patch like in youtube to include/exclude if the user wants. Open a feature-request at ReVanced pathces Github, they may add it.

You wanna patch YouTube Music by yourself? If so it's just the same process but instead of youtube apk you put in the manager the yt music apk:

You searched for YouTube Music - APKMirror

Well.... for non rooted version you need to have enabled vanced microg support as I wrote in the guide. Enjoy.

Debugging is optional but I suggest to not include it, however even if u add it there is no harm nowdays as I can read from the team.
[Android Apps and Games] dj24:
Success. I actually just patched the latest YT music straight from my S22 Ultra's updated Revanced Manager (ver 1.12.1) as it was already included in there (ReVanced Manager > Patcher > Select an application > YT Music > Default > Patch). Easy peasy.

I think I also understood from your screenshot how to export the apk. The sequence I need to follow is after I finish patching the updated Revanced Manager is then choose Export > go to my downloads folder > install and then I should have the latest YT Revanced app.

What I've figured out for someone who's just beginning to learn and figure things out is just to keep the entire process simple for now.

Moving forward, I'm just going to wait for the newer updates of Revanced manager >download > select default patches and then patch > Install > Export apk which will move it to my downloads folder > install it which this will then update my YT Revanced app and finally finish off by doing the same to the updated YT Music found inside Revanced manager as I successfully did above. Do these steps look right to you?

The only thing I'm not sure of here is whether I'll have to download the latest Youtube apk for the updated Revanced manager or if it'll include it's own recommended newer version inside it anyways before patching. Can you advise?

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] RBTYT:
I have a rooted version. I gave ReVanced Manager root access and installed YouTube by clicking the "Mount" button.

Addition to the manual for future readers:

Maybe it’s worth writing specifically in the manual which buttons to press ([Vanced MicroG Support], [Enable Debugging]; [Mount])? Since I use a translator, it was not entirely clear to me
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Ah nevermind, i found it after i switched my YouTube to English, because i wanted to tell you what it says in English. But the feature i was looking for is "Disable fine scrubbing gesture".

The thumbnails previews on this one are pretty low quality, i'm also pretty sure they were higher quality on the Extended version, so i hope they implement that into regular Revanced soon too :)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Thumbnails preview are on the highest quality they could be with the same workaround on both revanced & extended.

You can try to install both of them and check, I personally don't find any difference on quality between them.

Hi @Retrial . Do you have a Github page? I want to be able to do updates via Obtanium. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I use AFH for hosting the apks, I would like to not upload the apks on GitHub and keep low profile.

The good news is, you don't have to update every day if the app working fine. Just check once a month and do update if it's available.
[Android Apps and Games] Alekos:
I have a Pixel 8 Pro with Android 14 and tried installing revanced_Instagram from Android File Host, and it won't install. Even tried patching it.... Is there any way to get it to work? Is it because Android 14 on Pixel 8 now supports 64bit versions only?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
What error message you get? Is stock Instagram pre-installed in your device?
[Android Apps and Games] Alekos:
Stock is removed.

Error I get is:

"You can't install the app on this device" - a white toast notification at the bottom of the default Files app.

I have YT, TT, X, R, all installed without issue from your pre-patched files...
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You run Android 14?

I will try to search tommorow about it but tbh Instagram revanced doesn't worth much and is still on old version.
[Android Apps and Games] Alekos:
So I have a Pixel 6 Pro with Android 14 - it works perfectly.

New Pixel 8 Pro (with Android 14), won't install.

It's ok... Just found it odd that it wouldn't install on the same Android version (non-root, oem Locked, nothing disabled or modified).

Looks like a known issue when "Signature spoofing" is turned on, but it was enabled by default on your YouTube Revanced Pre-Made APK (so i didn't know that was causing it), i disabled this and it seems higher quality now.
[Android Apps and Games] XyLt:
Hello.

First of all, I'm typing using a translator. I hope we can get along.

I use the phone without root.

I just found out about ReVanced and installed YouTube version 18.38.44 from AppMirror. I patched it from ReVanced Manager. I'm using it now without any problems.

Thank you for this.

Here's what I want to ask you,

Do we need to patch YouTube after all PlayStore YouTube updates?

So YouTube got an update and we can continue to use the patched YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
You don't install or do updates of the stock youtube app from Play Store.

You just download stock youtube apk from the apkmirror, you open manager, you put the apk inside the manager and you patch it.

You manually do the same process to update ReVanced.

Check also #2,933 and OP guides.
[Android Apps and Games] stu5797:
I love this app! Anyone know how to get rid of or shorten the Toast messages? I change the speed of YouTube videos a lot and this Toast message pops up Everytime and stays for what seems like an eternity.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:

[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
ReVanced Extended (RVX) ⚠️ for Android 6-7 pre-made apk, updated with the latest patches.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I ask up front that you please forgive me for being very, very stupid and for the length of this post.

Setup Info:

Samsung Galaxy (SM-G988U1) S20 Ultra 5G

Android 13 Non-Rooted

Vanced microG v0.2.27.230755

ReVanced Extended (YouTube) v18.06.35

[Standalone YouTube, not "Manager"]

The PreInstalled YouTube app is Disabled and since it's in the System Partition, if it is a DPI version, then I have no way to change it to No-DPI if I would need to.

This setup does work, except lately when a video plays, it starts with what appears to be a Buffering issue (spinning circle forever). I did read the "fix", but there are no "Spoof" settings in the "Miscellaneous" section and there's no setting anywhere in it to adjust the amount of playing time to buffer (which surprised me).

So anyway, that's not why I'm writing, it's just why I'm forced to ask about this "Post-YT App" ReVanced Patch system, since I can't find anywhere that it's explained.

So anyway, the thing is that I do not understand what all of this "patching" stuff is about. Patch what? Here's my questions, please:

1) What exactly has ReVanced become? If you say "a patching system".. To patch what, specifically??? Like, are you supposed to have the normal YouTube Enabled, then run the "ready to go" Apk and it "patches" it to add the ReVanced features to it?

2) What is the difference between "ReVanced", "ReVanced RVX" and "ReVanced Extended"?

3) Do I need to uninstall the standalone (with microG) ReVanced Extended YouTube app I have, then Enable the normal YouTube app, then install a ReVanced patch? Or can I just "update" what I have installed?

I'm not a coder, so going to read what's on GitHub won't help and I can't find anything to read that doesn't assume you already know exactly what each item is exactly. Not a criticism. I'm just saying that I did try. :)

Thank You!
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I am not sure what you trying to do. All the infos are in OP:

- ReVanced is the successor of the legacy Vanced app. It's a tool which can build a modded version of YouTube with AdBlock+SponsorBlock and has almost all the Premium YouTube features plus more. Well...this is how it started, ReVanced as tool can now patch more apps besides the youtube.

- ReVanced Extended (RVX) started by inotia00 as a fork of ReVanced with some patches/features more and most of the time it was based on more recent youtube version.

- inotia00 stopped the development at 05-08-2023.

- Then the project continues as fork with the name ReVanced Extended (ReX) by YT-Advanced.

- However at 05-09-2023 inotia00 came back (announcement) and released a new update for RVX patches.

- At 11-09-2023 ReX is discontinued. (announcment)

The future of Extended is unclear and tbh it's no needed anymore, regular revanced is good nowdays.

When we say patch, we mean take the stock youtube apk and patch it with features like adblock (add features etc.) using the revanced manager tool and the result will be a new modded youtube apk.

So to understand, you wanna install my pre-made apks or build your own apks?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Retrial,

Here is what I'd like to do. Please tell me if this is possible and if so, what to download from your premade Apk's.

I would like to leave the original, preinstalled Google YouTube Disabled and download a premade Apk that I install and I will then have a working ReVanced version YouTube app with all of the AdBlock/SponsorBlock stuff built in, as well as the extra settings it gives you (including that "Misc >> Spoof" setting).

I don't want to do any patching, nor compiling, as I am not able to code, etc..

If this is possible, would you please point me to the right Premade Apk for me? Whichever one is best for me, where it will be updated when necessary? One of yours, right? Like I said, I'm stupid and I'm afraid I'll grab the wrong one. :)

Again, I am Not Rooted and I do already have the latest microG installed.

Thank You!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Okey,

Uninstall everything related to revanced/microg if you have anything installed and if you want disable Stock YouTube as you may already did.

Download & install latest GMSCore and sign in. If you use Huawei device check this post.

You can use burned account if you want - (burned means alt account not your main).

Things changed and you need that instead of microG from now and go on.

Make sure Battery Optimization is disabled for GMSCore in your device, to avoid buffering issues.

Download latest YouTube ReVanced or Extended from my MEGA Cloud and install it. Or patch it by yourself by using my guides at OP.

To set ReVanced to open youtube links by default: For general devices check this.

Explore the settings of revanced and enable/disable some of them according to your taste.

Reboot your device. (Optional - it may solve potential buffering issues)

Enjoy!

If you want to update in future, simply download the updated pre-made apk you will find on this folder and install it over the current one.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Retrial,

Okay, I did *exactly* as you prescribed (and even Rebooted after each step) and Bookmarked the Download links you provided.

I Signed In using microG and have all of the ReVanced YouTube Settings the way that I want them (including "Misc >> Spoof").

Everything works, but now I need to watch some videos to see if the Buffering issue is fixed with this version (after a few minutes, the video goes black and it just shows a spinning circle and never recovers). If that's fixed, then I'm all set! :-)

Either way, thank you for the time you put into creating a way for stupid people like me to install it and for taking the time to help me! I really, really appreciate it!!! :-)

I will let you know if it fixes my issue. As a suggestion (I don't know if this is possible), it would be nice to have a setting for the playing time to buffer, to help eliminate this issue. I thought the original YouTube had that setting? Or am I wrong?

Thanks Again! Talk to ya later to update you. :-)

Which youtube apk to download with the latest revanced manager 1.13.1..

https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?appcategory=youtube

Is it 18.40.34 which is the latest stable version shown above? The one here shows 18.38.44 instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
18.38.44 is the latest supported version for revanced youtube. I also have a link to the guide at OP if you take a look. Always use the recommended supported version, doesn't matter if it's not the latest version.

Would it be possible to add the "beta" tag when the actual YouTube version is a beta? Maybe helpful for users who don't want to patch every version.

I know one can check APK mirror for that but adding beta here may be a bit more convenient.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] Admiral2145:
I appreciate how quickly you update...
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I had the "beta" tag when I first added the new YT version, but I thought it's not necessary.

The point is the new updates on the patches and the compatibility with the patches, regarding the version of YouTube beta or non beta tag it's still stable.

Now if one user go to build Extended with -non beta- old version it may give him errors in Manager, he will need to use the "Beta" 18.01.35 as the recommended version anyway if he wants to install the latest Extended, so what's the point :p

I have added the "Beta" tag anyways.

Updated ReVanced Extended using latest patches tag v2.153.3 and revanced-integrations v0.92.4.

Reuploaded the zips at VirusTotal and updated the result analyze links.

⚠️Everyone who use my "ready apks" should clean install the latest version and from now on, you can simply update without the need of reinstalling, unless I announce it needs clean install.

From now and go on, you can simply just download the apk and update without reinstalling the app since I now backup and restore the same keystore in ReVanced Manager to sign the apks.
