Hehe no worries,

If you are using my ready apks you don't need ReVanced Manager. ReVanced Manager is only a tool to built the apk yourself, you can't update like vanced manager, doesn't work the same way.

You should look at this thread whenever updates are available and just download and install the latest apks. It will update your current app without losing your settings.

I always make posts with updates however it's not necessary to install every update if you don't have any issue or time to update all the time. Just 1 a week or month should be enough.
[Android Apps and Games] yupthatguy:
You're beautiful and an asset man, thank you! I understand what you're saying so I will check in often and try to read more on how all of this works. YouTube is now tolerable again, yay ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Enjoy 😋
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
Thanks for that. To be sure, is this the most up-to-date version of revanced extended?

youtube-revanced_extended_v18.13.38.apk​

And will this install a new revanced extended or install over the old version?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Yes it's the most recent. There is also a folder with date in Android File Host but you can also check the build date and patches version used at the Informations at post #2.

Yes it will update your app over the old version you have installed, without losing your settings but only if you are using already my ready apks.

I am having playback issues where the video stops after a minute or so. I will have to look into this further.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Check FAQ. Some people still have playback issues regardless the "fix" in the latest updates.

If you want try ReVanced Extended and enable protobuf-spoof patch at Miscellaneous settings and check if you still have playback issues.
[Android Apps and Games] yupthatguy:
Thank you very much, I will try this. I see this is a know issue right now.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Before trying Extended, try on Official Revanced to enable the toogle Spoof app signature at the Misc settings.
[Android Apps and Games] yupthatguy:
Thank you. I already installed ReVanced Extended and it seems to be working using the "recommended" patches. I feel stupid because I went back to the Manager and was going to try your suggestion and I can't find the "Misc" settings in the setting menu? Do you mean "Patches"? If so, under patches I see these with the word spoof, among others of course:

client spoof

spoof app version

spoof signature verification

I had these all checked before and when using ReVanced and it did not work. Seems to be working with the "Recommended" patched for ReVanced Extended so I'm not gonna mess with it right now and break it lol.

I was using the the recommended versions of the YT APK for each version referenced in your guides.
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
So I already have an older version, v18.09.39 of revanced extended. I downloaded v18.13.38. Clicked on it to install and I get a message saying it was not installed. Am I suppose to install it through revanced manager instead? I dont get it.
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
This is an excellent collection, thanks for your hard work, now I'd like to know if there's a version you could make compatible with android 7.0

Yes I know is for my old Asus tablet, thanks for your hard work again
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
No, I mean after installing the app with these patches there is a toogle in settings of ReVanced and ReVanced Extended. You go to the ReVanced Settings > Misc > and you enable these toogles accordingly.

But if it's good now then ok.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
From where you downloaded the app you have installed? You built it? If so it's signed with your key and you need to use manager to patch the app again with the same keystore and install it.

If you use my ready apk, you just install the new update.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I've patched with Extended the latest youtube version (17.34.36) I found, which support nougat android, but many patches failed, however hide ads and some others applied successfully.

Try it and let me know if it's working. Otherwise you can use any of the apps in the "YouTube alternatives" section at the OP or flash a custom ROM to your tablet with newest android version if it's available.
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
I have the same problem and was going to write here. Imagine my surprise when I saw your post with the download of 17.34.36 (the last android 6/7 version).

I just tried it on my Samsung tablet running Android 6 and unfortunately it crashes on launch. I've got three of these tablets and they've got beautiful oled screens, perfect for media consumption.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Rip 🥲

Well I can't do much more. Use Newpipe or Libretube in your tablet as a workaround or flash latest custom ROM if it's available. 😋
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
Thanks for trying. I found this https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced/wiki/17.34.36-(Android-6-and-7)

and it actually works beautifully except for one huge problem. When signed in, all videos stop playback after around 45sec - 1min. It's some sort of ad thing.

What we could use is a version spoofed original vanced 17.03 to be made look like a newer version. I saw that Revanced Manager had a patch called spoof for good old vanced but I couldn't get it to work. There were no details about it in the description either.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
This app is not vanced. It's just old yt version patched with extended patches and Idk what else. That app is also discontinued for now according to GitHub page and so it has old version of the patches of inotia00 without including the patch for fix of playback issues you are talking about. Also I don't know how legit is it.

I would use Libretube or Newpipe in my tablet if I was in your case.

Edit: @shaglord from the github you mentioned try that version instead, seems more recent.

I tried using Revanced Manager without root and it just freezes up my phone. I couldn't patch anything. After I downloading several versions I found yours and it worked beautifully man (on my Android 8 device). It's also based on a newer youtube base than Revanced standard. Win win, and packed with features. Thumbs up!
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
Try the apk I linked to above. It's an almost perfect Vanced for Android 6/7. I just have the problem of videos not playing past 1min after logging in. Apparently it happens on some accounts that google has flagged. Maybe it will work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
The freeze you mentioned probably is due of incompatibility of your device. Manager will work properly on arm64 devices. Is your device arm or arm64?
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
I downloaded the ready apk of revanced extended from here:

Like I said before, when I install the new version of revanced extended I get a message saying it was not installed. You said it installs over the old version without losing customized settings. But again it doesn't install, it says it was not installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
If you previously had installed my ready apk for ReVanced Extended, the update should work fine. Are you sure you have already installed my ready apk? I've tested so many times and none else reported that.

Anyway, you should clean install the app to fix the issue and after that I hope you won't have any problem updating.
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
So just so you know, before I uninstalled the old version I saved or exported the revanced ext settings. I then u uninstalled it then installed the new version of revanced ext. But when I imported my old settings into the new version of revanced ext, they don't get restored. Now I have to manually put in new settings again. Can you explain this?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Last time I checked a month ago, backup & restore feature of Extended it worked but not all settings restored, like in sponsporblock etc you needed to manually to do the changes.

If you think it's a bug report it on github of extended I can't do much for this.
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
So if not all features are restored, at some point in the future, will you get it fixed? I It's a badly needed feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I am not the developer of Extended. If you think there is a bug report it to github and the dev inotia00 may take a look.

Even if it's semi broken, it's not a big deal to set the settings again like you want and I don't believe you will uninstall/install the app all the time 😛 I personally have to do clean install for very long time.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
It's hardly a badly needed feature!

If you're just updating revanced, it's settings are preserved.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
@zlaer Let me explain how the "update" works:

ReVanced Manager has a keystore which with this key you sign your patched apk.

If you are patching by yourself -without deleting data of the ReVanced Manager app- then with the same key you will sign all your patched apks and so you could update without an issue and keep your settings.

If you are using my ready apks, these apks are signed with my key and so the app can only be updated only if you are already using my ready apks.

If you are using for example the patched app you built and then you want to install my updated ready apk, then there will be incompatibility since both are using different key for signing.

So you need to use patched apks only from one source (either your builds, or my ready apks, or from others which I don't recommend) to update without the need of clean installing and so to keep your settings.

You can find more infos in the section "♻️How to Update (Backup & Restore ReVanced Manager Keystore)" at the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
Thanks for the info. I may have mis-wrote, but I did mean Official Revanced. What happened is I downloaded the suggest YouTube apk to use. I checked all the marks then patched. Initially it would just hang at initializing. Then later I removed wifi spoofing which I remembered reading a long time ago as causing issues. Then it went through but at the very end it had some kind of error then did not complete. I was trying to get it to work late at night and I don't remember specifically but it got to the end then did not complete.

I did use the apk made ones on Post #2 and I appreciate it. I'm not sure what the patching issue is but it's not a big deal. I'll just install over the existing apk to keep the settings in the future. They are working fine. The forked version with more options was a bit too much to navigate so I just used the Official Revanced, instead of the extended. I did forget to include my device info. Pixel 6a, non-root, Android 13 QPR stable (March stable release). So far everything is working good. I just used a secondary workaround to be able to chromecast and hide the button. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
When you are the in the ReVanced Manager in the patches section, press the Recommended button and patch.

Chere here.
[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
Youre wrong. I had to uninstall the old version of revanced extended in order to install the new version. Therefore the feature is BADLY NEEDED !!!
[Android Apps and Games] LFact:
If the old apk and the new apk are signed with the same key, you won't need to uninstall the old version, as Retrial said.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
As @LFact wrote, it's exactly explained in @Retrial "s post:

By the way, for me the import/export feature of ReVanced Extended restores about 90% of the settings in case you'll have to clean install for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
He knows but he complaining the import/export settings doesn't work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Yes, I've seen it and edited my post.

For me almost all settings are restored when a clean flash was needed.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePieMonster:
Any thoughts on why the patcher is not working?

Looks like the Youtube app is version 18.14.40.

Install latest version of the Youtube app from G-Play

Open ReVanced manager and selected patcher

Selected the youtube app and the recommended patches (8 patches selected)

Selected patch and chose the install as root option since the device is rooted.

Application installed.

I select Open and the app crashes on open.

Tried rebooting and clearing storage but the app still crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Any preinstalled YouTube app or leftovers of Vanced/ MicroG? Device? Seems that One Plus has some problems with a feature called ram extension that should be turned off.

If nothing helps you can use a magisk module.
[Android Apps and Games] latinohot:
Anyway they can work on a version spoofed to work with Android 7?
[Android Apps and Games] ThePieMonster:
Well, I am using the device in my signature (Pixel 4) not the OnePlus.

Not sure how to really get a good idea if there is any left over content without deleting folders.

I ended up using the Magisk version for ReVanced Extended and these are at least launching and playing content so I'll stick with these for now...
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
ReVanced or ReVanced Extended?

You need to download the stock youtube apk and not to install it from Play Store. You should select it from the storage and then patch it. Also if you selected the recommended patches and you get only 8 something is wrong. Check my guide at OP.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I don't think so. There are YouTube alternatives in my OP for old devices.

Hi Retrial,

Any workaround to revert Library tab layout to the old version?

Currently, Playlists are displayed in horizontal scroll (used to be a vertical list).

Watch later was its own tab, but now it is included under Playlists.

I've had no luck with the following suggestions:

*Disable "Hide Suggestions"

*Disable "Hide horizontal shelf" -- (Not listed under my revanced settings)

Revanced Manager Version: 0.57

YouTube Version: 18.14.40 (Revanced Extended inotia00) (root)
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Make sure you used ReVanced Manager and you patched an apk at least once and try again.

Personally I use MiXplorer File Manager and I am able to get or restore the keystore file from there.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Not sure if it's gonna work but try to enable old layout or tablet layout in Experimental patches at Misc settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Try this "vanced" for old android versions but it may have playback/buffering issue. There is also a link with apk in reddit comments but try it with your own risk.

Personally in old devices I would use the open source YouTube alternatives like Libretube or Newpipe.
[Android Apps and Games] uses0ap:
On the money!

'Enable old layout' work for me.

THANK YOU!!
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Cheers I may add this to FAQ.

Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] uses0ap:
I may have spoke too soon..

The fix is temporary/inconsistent, the layout will eventually revert back to horizontal shelf.

Disabling & Enabling old layout via misc setting seems like a hit or miss.

I've tried multiple times until the old layout reappeared, but it does not stick permanently.

Refreshing the tab will randomly bounce back and forth between layouts
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Hmmmm, then if you can please open an issue in GitHub of Extended or ask in the Reddit/Telegram, inotia00 is active there.
[Android Apps and Games] uses0ap:

[Android Apps and Games] zlaer:
HI retrial,

So I'll tell you the steps I took so far to the point I'm at now. Maybe that way you can tell me if I did something wrong.

So I first installed the latest ready made revanced extension app from android file host. And I installed it successfully.

After that, I did as you asked. I tried to patch the same ready made revanced extension apk in revanced manager. But then I get the error below:

But I don't understand why I have to do all this just to backup the settings when you said before that I can just download and install the new revanced extension app which will install over the old one and retain all my settings. With all due respect.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I don't think you understand what I told you.

If you already have installed my ready apk from Android File Host or from the XDA post, you should be able to able to download and install/update normally without losing any setting whenever my updated ready apks are available.

If you patched and installed yourself the official stock youtube apk, you should patch it again with new patches when available and then install/update normally. To patch an apk yourself please read carefully the steps/guide at OP.

Now, since you told me you tried to install an update and you failed, I assumed the cause is incompatibility with the key which signed between the apk you already had installed and the update you were trying to install.

Tldr: If you already have my ready apk installed, just download future updates of my ready apk and install it normally, you will be able to update without losing any setting. It should work as it does all this time for everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] shaglord:
Thanks. That apk is only 40-50MB and it fails to install. I'm not sure what's up.

I'm actually using SmartTube now and I gotta say I'm fairly pleased. At least I'm signed in.
[Android Apps and Games] Lw00d:
