Hi, I don't know sorry, I only use YouTube ReVanced and doesn't appear in the Play Store.

I thought other apps didn't show up on Play Store too but now I don't know why they do. I personally haven't changed anything in my process. 🤷 I guess it's due of package name? Idk.

Perhaps if you disable "Auto updates" for the specific apps?
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
I dont know what is goin on on my google playstore but all revanced apps and some other modded appeared in GP store update. Ofcourse it cant be updated but i never seen this. Samsung S23, android 14. All is working good but why are modded apps on update list? Some of them are revanced updated to latest, Reddit, X, but anyway are on update list..?

@Retrial

Oh there is similar post. Strange behaviour..
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yeap I don't know, my Infinity modded app (not ReVanced) show up now on Play Store too.

🤷
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
There is some fix on reddit
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I will check it.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
It works but have to uninstall all apps and repacked them with different package name
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yeap, I just tested with Reddit app and seems to work. @NaabKing

I have repatch all the pre-made apks. I will upload later.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Are you rooted? If yes try zygisk-detach

GitHub - j-hc/zygisk-detach: Zygisk module to detach installed apps from Play Store, hooking binder

Zygisk module to detach installed apps from Play Store, hooking binder - j-hc/zygisk-detach

github.com

or mindetach. Read the notes in README.

Normally it should be enough to put a file called detach.txt in the modules folder and write the app names in it (like com.google.android.youtube).
[Android Apps and Games] taku-nm:
Careful with this; There are loads of apps that crash either on load or later during use because of the package name mismatch. This requires a lot of verification of the apps function and is partially the reason I haven't built this into presets.

Btw, I had a silly idea how I could generalize patch options (such as package name) and I might implement this in a few days. Will probably be a breaking change for 4.X
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Hmmm...thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was thinking if the package name could break things.

So your recommendation is to let the package names as it is even if Play Store detects them and trying to update?

That's great, waiting for it. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] taku-nm:
Unfortunately there isn't really a great way to handle this if you want to press that "Update all" button in Playstore as those updates will nuke the patched app.

My recommendation therefore is: Disable auto update (at least for the patched apps) and never use that "Update all" button.

Playstore will ruin them all.

Anything in regards to changed package names would need rather extensive testing.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Since I patched already a lot of apps with package name changed, I will probably upload them tommorow into one folder for users to test and see how most of them behaves. 🤔

However, without changing the package name, even if you press update all button in Play Store, these apps get an error and nothing happens as I can see, so it's just annoying watching these updates.
[Android Apps and Games] taku-nm:
Oh they error out? I thought I had seen users report that the apps get replaced
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Perhaps they refering to the root version?

I tested it on non root and one user confirmed and reported they error out when trying to update, so nothing really happens, it's just annoying having these apps there waiting for update 😝 🤷
[Android Apps and Games] bird333:
How can you disable auto-update for individual apps?
[Android Apps and Games] ser8210:
Hi.

Come on..... everything is now solved with the issue of the tweaked applications that appeared in PlayStore. The only thing I did was update a normal app from the app info and then I cleared cache and hit playstore force stop and that's it. To update from the application information you just have to press and hold on the application, click on information and where it says details of the application in the store, click on the application downloaded from the playstore. The playstore opens automatically, it updates and then the beginning, clear cache and such and such......and that's it.

Salu2
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
Upper right corner in play store
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
Today everything seems ok in playstore. No more modded apks asking to update, it was googles bug.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
Another method would be using Hide My Applist (LSposed).

I also saw many apps popping up in the GP updates list and basically hid those too from Play Store.

Why they all started to appear is a mystery to me as well, maybe s Play Store update that was buggy from G side 🤔🤷🏻
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
So it seems it's true, today I don't have any modded app detected in Play Store.

Do you guys still need all the apks with different package names or should I skip it and do not upload them?
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
Skip it.. it was google issue.
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Skip, if it's true there may be problems because of it, it's better to skip and save some trouble :) this was only a problem for a day, if this becomes standard, then maybe it would be good to revisit this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] NewDayRising:
Is anyone else having issues with patched Reddit clients? I'm using Reddit Is Fun and I'm getting "No threads here. Tap to refresh." I'm also getting "Error: Forbidden." While troubleshooting, I went to check my client ID via Firefox on the desktop, and that Reddit page won't load. The app worked yesterday, quit last night, worked early this morning, then went back to not working.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Idk for other clients but Infinity for Reddit which I use working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] NewDayRising:
Okay, I may have to go that route.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Keep in mind when you use your own free API Key, it has a free allowance of 100 Requests/Minute.

It should be more than enough for casual use but perhaps you reached that limit in the client you are and you need to wait?

Anyways try Infinity is awesome 😎
[Android Apps and Games] NewDayRising:
Aaand it's randomly working again. I'll still check out Infinity; thanks for the tips.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Seems the issue with Play Store is back 🫠
[Android Apps and Games] Skeuomorph:
Glad to see I'm not alone in this! 😁 It was a bit of a shock to see all those other apps suddenly pop up in my list of pending updates. I find it somewhat annoying, but thankfully they still won't update and break down or something, even if I press the "Update" button, which I have to, anyways, since I've always kept auto-updates off. Might be that something is indeed bugging out on G's side, I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Same here (Twitch, X and Infinity), but we should probably wait a week or so, before doing anything about it?

I saw a lot of people talking that Google shouldn't be doing this, because this basically means Google Play wants to update apps, which are from other stores, which they definetly shouldn't be doing and can get them in more trouble then they already are (Google Play being a monopoly).
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
probably.. i ignore it till disappears again..

not even one patched app cant be updated by playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] trevtdogg:
thanks for posting this! I much prefer to install and update this way.

do you know if magisk modules for revanced YouTube music or for any other revanced apps have been made yet?

[Android Apps and Games] IamTheBRAVE:
Hey guys, just want to throw my 2 cents here about the Gplay issue.

It's benn happenning for months and on different roms for me. I have YT unistalled from gplay, i install the module which takes the package name of yt, then when it's updated, it appears on the list. If it's a major update it auto updates even if that is disabled in settings. It breaks the module, ads show up again. Only solution is i reinstall the module and it's working again.

I found an old Vanced FAQ page with a workaround (n⁰2 worked for me once cause djs is not available anymore) here's the link.

Troubleshooting for vanced

These are only user-side issues. So there's nothing the Vanced team can do about it. Only you can solve them by reading the relevant solution. These questions are addressed in the order of most common to least common. Ensure that you downloaded vanced apps using the official links provided by...

The reason for this happenning is mentioned:
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
This is known for root version.

But now is happening on non-root version too for some modded apps. However on non-root version even if Play Store try to update the update will fail, nothing will happens, it's just annoying ;p
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Yep, just annoying.

No apps updated, just four fails:

Instagram, Strava, Messenger & X

YouTube & YouTube Music didn't try to update.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
YouTube & YT Music have different package name by default, that's why don't appear in Play Store 😋
[Android Apps and Games] huguitoxda:
I am also looking for a solution to this problem.

Playback in feeds stops in one minute

I'm not sure what was the last version this feature was operational, but it is currently broken

I haven't tried the original YouTube either, so I don't know if the problem is also replicated in the official app.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
My life with Android File Host is captured at the attached image below.... 🥲

Anyways,

ReVanced Extended (RVX) YouTube & YT Music have been updated with the latest patches v2.206.1.

@Retrial: AFH is really bad, had my problems there too.

Upload maybe to Yandex, Mega or any other history which is more stable.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I am thinking to switch to MEGA but I would like to track downloads etc., I think MEGA doesn't have that feature 😕
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Nope, I also don't think so. There are not many hosters around that are able to do that.

Maybe with some third party tool.

Edit: Or you set up your own server (Apache or something like that). But this would be a lot of action just for uploading ReVanced stuff. Another option would be worldpress but I have no experience with it:

[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I've forked the repo and built the module properly .toml has included-patches = "'Custom branding'" and .json has

[
{
"patchName": "Custom branding",
"options": [
{
"key": "appName",
"value": "YouTube "
}
]
}
]

Yet the app name is still Revanced Extended...?
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Try it like that:

[
{
"patchName": "Custom branding YouTube name",
"options": [
{
"key": "YouTubeAppName",
"value": "YouTube "
}

[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:

Is there a thread for Mindetach? It seems it doesn't work anymore for me; it detaches the app from PlayStore, so it doesn't update, but I can still see it in the apps to be updated.
[Android Apps and Games] cegrilo:
HI, I have managed to uninstall youtube official apk, is it possible to install the revanced app with the package name from the official youtube apk? com.google.android.youtube

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
May I ask the reason you would do that?

My suggestion is to leave it as it is app.revanced.android.youtube.
[Android Apps and Games] cegrilo:
Yes, because Samsung has an option that when it detects the official youtube app, it improves the screen brightness.
[Android Apps and Games] Legoman6:
mindetach stopped working for me also so I switched to zygisk-detach from the same author which does work. I don't believe there is a thread for either module.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
But then Play Store will detect the YouTube and will try to update it and it may cause other issues.

Anyways to answer your question, you can change the package name by going to ReVanced Manager Settings and enable the Universal Patches. Then in the patches section select the "change package name" patch and set it to the original youtube package name as you wish.
[Android Apps and Games] Iridule:
Im trying to change the package name using cli builder no matter what it says Revanced Extended. What am I doing wrong?

[

{

"patchName": "Custom branding name YouTube",

"options": [

{

"key": "AppName",

"value": "YouTube "

}

]

}

[Android Apps and Games] gpvecchi:
Thank you! Do I need LSposed to run this module?

The package name is misleading.
[Android Apps and Games] Legoman6:
No, zygisk-detatch isn't an LSPosed module.
[Android Apps and Games] r00tcracker:
Hey guys.

Is anyone having this issue???

Revanced manager doesn't show applications to patch anymore.

It suddenly stopped working.
[Android Apps and Games] Legoman6:
Go into Settings then select Sources, click on the Reset button top right of the box that comes up to reset sources to their default values. That fixed it for me.
[Android Apps and Games] r00tcracker:
You LEGEND!

Thank you, that fixed it!!

When i downgrade GP to previous version of google store, it stops acting like this. But store updates itself and again acts crazy. What is alternative, apkmirror, aptoide?
[Android Apps and Games] gpvecchi:
Can I bother you again? To put the detach.bin inside the zip, I need to put it under the system folder, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Ufos92:
Magisk FTW.

1. Install `zygisk-detach` (also need termux, then simply follow instructions to detach youtube)

2. Install `revanced-magisk-module`

3. Done!

Took me 10 minutes in total.

[Android Apps and Games] gpvecchi:
Yes, my question is where to put the detach.bin file inside the zip to prevent using termux again
[Android Apps and Games] JazonX:
Thanks a lot, I did try all those - but didn't read this thread backwards. Apps like Reddit crashes after changing package name, and in the instances it worked, the links started opening up in the browser.

Since I have the Core Patch enabled, Play store directly updates and overwrites he revanced apps with the Playstore apps.

Zygisk-Detach loses it's magic after a reboot, or after the playstore gets updated and the data gets changed.

I tried swapping bin files, and even manually attaching files. after each update

They keep appearing after a reboot, or after the playstore data is cleared. It's just another cat and mouse approach.

The older version that uses the text file in emulated memory doesn't hold it for a long time either, it starts appearing after a few reboots.

The only app that worked in this aspect is TeMiFi

However that too, shows the apps in Playstore - but the update function doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] gpvecchi:
TeMiFi seems to have the same behaviour than mindetach. Zygisk-Detach seems to survive reboot for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Ufos92:
github readme says this:

Maybe ask there? https://github.com/j-hc/zygisk-detach
[Android Apps and Games] Ufos92:
Oh my. Here we go again. I guess we gotta go ping the dev of zygisk detach to add an `on-boot` option or something

Hi Retrial. I just deleted an older version of extended and updated to your 18.02.33 apk a few days ago. Is it ok to install the newest (.34) over it or is it recommended to do a fresh install?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yes, you can install and update to newest 18.02.34 over 0.33 without issue. 😜
[Android Apps and Games] kai m z:
I mean "install" button only apears in finishing stage in pacthing, if you close the interface you can not find it anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I know that's why I told you, you need to repatch and install it as root via Manager.

Otherwise you can use j-hc/ReVanced Magisk Module which is easier to update and install as root user.
[Android Apps and Games] aron11195:
without repatching?

and just for clarification, how do i exactly update?. such as theres a new version of youtube
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
The reply you quote is for my ready apks which I built myself so you just download them and install them.

If you built urself you need to repatch it and install it. If you deleted your manager or the data of manager before, you need to clean install the YouTube. Otherwise if you didn't delete manager, you can simply install the patched apk, over the current version you are running.

I have a section how to update at OP.
[Android Apps and Games] Genetic517:
Thanks! Any way of looking at a change log? Not really sure I need to update anyway as I'm not having any issues with .33

In short, you need to move your YouTube channel from one brand account to another.

Move your YouTube channel from one Brand Account to another - YouTube Help

Before you start: A YouTube channel is automatically connected to an account. There are two different types of accounts: Google Account You need a Google Account to sign in to Y

This will most likely lift the blacklisting imposed by YouTube on your account for using a non-sanctioned YouTube app.

I simply deleted the channel associated with my account and that seems to work. But it is very likely that google will ban these refreshed channles too. It's only a temporary fix.
