I, I am trying to install ReVanced Extended since yesterday.

I have a mi 9t pro with CherishOS 4.2 ROM.

I suppose that this ROM has GMS, but don't know how I can check it. I would like to not use micro g.

However, I can't install it as root as you can see on this screenshot, is it normal ?

Am I using the correct patches?

Then, after installing it, I don't see the app under the patched app tab :

And when I am trying to lanch revanced, it crash and told me that I need micro g.

Could you help me ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
If your ROM is GApps version and has a Play Store or If you flashed GApps then you have GMS. As non-root u will need microG. (If you don't want to use ur account via microG then just create a burned account and use that only for that)

About root I can't help much since I don't use root. Did u check the "Recommended" patches?

You can also download try my build .apk(s) which you can find here.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
I have also observed the 'strange" installation scripts (hard-linking the patched app from the module's folder out to adb and then mounting to the app folder)

Since I regularly use the Revanced.io module, I modified their scripts, saved as my 'templates' and everytime

when the j-hc module was updated I just downloaded, unzipped, made my changes - to have a direct mount from the module's folder to the YT app folder, zipped back and installed my modified zip from the Storage

It worked fine for me (the patched YT/ReVanced and I didn't have problems with the banking and e-citizen apps I use) but I observed that sometimes, after three or four reboots, reboot took a long, probably triggering one more soft-reboot and then I found that YT app was completely uninstalled - hence I had to install the module once again

Eventually I stopped modifying the j-hc scripts and I install/update the module as it comes (with the hard-link+ mount) and so far I did not catch a case that YT would be uninstalled after a few reboots (although, it was seldom hence I cannot guarantee that it won't repeat)

Couple of more thoughts about:

- There are many other modules using the similar mechanism of mounting something from their module's to the System (without making additional hard-link to adb and then mounting from there).

Eg. Systemless Hosts.

Although all those modules mount to System (Vendor, etc, hence SAR generally) not like the Vanced or ReVanced modules that need to mount to Data

- It would be terrifying if that mount helps to detect root/Magisk (eg, my Momo does report Found Magisk for ne)

- But even if that additional hard-link and mount from there helps to hide the 'root' it would be only a matter of time until those banking apps start looking also for the mounts from /data/adb (not from /data/adb/modules/<folder>)

-Although I'm puzzled how those apps can detect that mount, if they were not granted the root.

Or what is otherwise different for them if the patched YT is mounted from the hard-linked /data/adb/com.google.android.youtube_rv.apk instead of directly from /data/adb/modules/ytrv-magisk/base.apk
[Android Apps and Games] scrubjay55:
Getting all the mounts within same mountspace does not require root. Any app can do that. Those banking apps are probably looking for any mount path that includes "modules" or something magisk specific to detect root. Hence when its mounted from /data/adb/ they dont detect it since its a default path all androids have. You dont need to edit any scripts from the module as hardlinking has no overhead You are just bothering yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] scrubjay55:
You can fix the issue in your module using same technique, by mounting from a different path.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
For the matter of fact, my /data/adb does not contain anything 'default' - all files and subfolders are installed by Magisk and its modules:

- magisk folder

- database magisk.db

- two folders for Magisk scripts post-fs-data.d and service.d, first empty and second with scripts installed by AML and JamesDSP modules

- aml and lspd folders installed by AML and LSPosed modules

- hard-linked ReVanced.io apk

Hence for me, anything (any mount from) /data/adb might be 'suspicious' for root

Also, many users enable the Magisk built-in Systemless hosts that mounts /data/adb/modules/hosts/system/etc/hosts to /system/etc/hosts

Then those banking apps looking for mounts from /data/adb/modules/* might be also detecting root (or not since /system/etc/hosts is a System file?)

Just thinking loud🤔
[Android Apps and Games] scrubjay55:
Its not about what it includes. Apps cant assume that anything mounted from /data/adb is an indicator for root, but they can assume it for /data/adb/modules since its specific to magisk.

But thats only my speculation.
[Android Apps and Games] RomainD2:
I tried your APK, I have the same error.

I have a gapps version then I have GMS

I saw on this website that they use a magisk module, but I don't know if it is an official website : https://revanced.io/
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Read the notes at OP about ReVanced io. You can also use this module which @Wolfcity also use.

But did you choosed the "Recommended patches* before you build?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Sorry but I don't know why the confusion

Isn't this the same module Revanced.io and j-hc?!

From Revanced.io:

ReVanced v19.25.39 - Download YouTube ReVanced APK (2024)

ReVanced is a fully open-source project which allows users to modify their Android apps. Download YouTube ReVanced, ReVanced Music & others.

revanced.io

Click to Download ZIP and you will be redirected to download from:

https://github.com/j-hc/revanced-magisk-module/releases/download/20220836/youtube-revanced-magisk-v17.49.37-all.zip

Hence the same module (but 'one' is 'good' and 'another' is 'bad').

Pls check the links yourself
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I have no idea since I am not into ReVanced io stuff and as I said I don't recommended it. I thought was different.

If it's the same then you can skip. I don't know why root build doesn't work for the guy above if he used the recommended patches.
[Android Apps and Games] RomainD2:
Sorry... I didn't see that we should remove the micro g patch for root user. I think it can be a good idea to add this on the first page tutorial.

If I understand well, the magisk module allow us to easy update YouTube when a new version is out ?

Why you didn't recommend that solution ?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I've updated the Root Guides to make it more clear. Just to clarify, it's working now after you excluded the microg patch, right?

I don't recommend revanced io because the revanced team also don't recommend it. Check here and here.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Additionally, the screenshot from the revanced.io site clearly shows that it's the j-hc mod.
[Android Apps and Games] RomainD2:
Yes it is working now
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Honestly, on one side it is good that this thread includes instructions in the OP post, but on the other side, the level of knowledge and understanding (specially about the root version) in the other XDA thread about ReVanced was on the higher level

Regarding to all these recent 'surprises' that root works without MicroG, that ReVanced.io module is the same as j-hc and so

IMO a single thread without dissipating the info would have been better - but ok, keep going as you do
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I can't understand what's your problem with my thread, as you mentioned it for a second time.

We don't compare threads here, I just wanted to create my own guides and manage my own thread the way I wanted since I didn't found any proper guide with steps in the other thread when I firstly joined into ReVanced world, more like a generic talking and infos as I already said in my previous post, and that triggered me do it. Beside others the owner of the thread doesn't seem to want or have the time to activily participate and contribute to thread as he said here and can be inactive for long duration and the last update on thread was at 17 October before asripath told him here few days ago, to include at his OP some links which I already had on my own thread.

Also my thread contains much more informations, links, guides, download ready .apk(s) and includes the Extended version and I personally found it more polished and organized and I am always trying to see how can I improve it.

I think you confusing the type of threads as the other says [Discussion] while mine is all around (all in one) and you can clearly see the differences at OP and the main purpose of a thread is to have a good and updated OP since it's the main thing. Most users don't use the "search" button to find things into a thread or they don't read all these pages and if you are realistic you can understand that.

About the surprises you said, I don't really understand what you mean. I already had a [Read this] near the step with patches in Extended at root guide but the guy didn't paid attention when reading, that's why I asked if he had chosen the Recommended patches. I personally don't use root so I gather information and I include them.

Honestly about ReVanced IO and the Module, I don't care much and this is not a thread about ReVanced IO. I said what I knew and that's all. If people have more information and are more knowledge about a specific subject are free to post and enlighten us and I could include these informations at OP. No need to create any drama.

I laugh with comments "the level of knowledge and understanding was on the higher lvl on the other thread"...and if you count the lvl knowledge with what we know about revanced io, I laugh even harder.

Simply if you don't like the information here and you think that we are low lvl noobs, ignore this thread and don't care about it. That was rude by ur side and I don't like posts with this type of irony.

I don't understand these kind of "attacks" and this is the last time I talk about this. If you think all the infos (old and new) must gathered at one place I could include at OP the "old" thread with link. I won't close my thread if that's your purpose and ofc I will "keep going as I do."

I want to help people with all of my threads, as I always do, the level of knowledge I think is more than enough since many people builded successfully and found the thread useful.

Have a great day.

When I have some time I will look into it a bit.🙃

Removed mMicroG to avoid confusion and since it's not needed yet, it's in early phase. Vanced MicroG working fine.

Removed colors from titles at "🗓️Informations of Builds - Changelogs" in post #2 since it was a bit overwhelming in the eye. I've added underline in each title.

Added a Documentation ReVanced Megathread and Official ReVanced Website at "🔗Useful Informations / Links".

Updated the "Read this" explanation about my ready apks.

Updated the FAQ.

⬇️Download: Post #2. (Mirror: Android File Host)

Note #1: Please let me know if Twitter -hide ads- etc. working fine. I've removed the patch "Hide-views-stats" since it's only working on old version. Generally report me if all updated apks working as expected.

Note #2: I will say it again since many of you asking multiple times.

ReVanced Extended by inotia00 is postponed

. He said he will come back at July. The app working fine, no necessary update needed. Read #1,568.

Note #3: Enjoy 😋
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
No worries. You probably have the latest. No need to patch it again.

18.19.35 is the supported version of ReVanced. Check the OP guide, all infos are there.

Check here.

If you want to have the latest version and as long the patches of revanced support the new versions, you can patch it again but is not necessary. You can update it once in a month if you don't want to mess with it everytime.

Check here.
[Android Apps and Games] shanar585:
Hey @Retrial on Manager v. 1.3.5 it says you fixed *not asking for permissions" and now the app asks for all files access.. is there a reason it needs this permission? it was working fine without
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
It looks like Revanced Extended has stopped development.

Update: never mind. I have just found the developer is on vacation until next month.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
This has been discussed here recently. I was able to enable the CREATE button in both Revanced and Revanced Extended (the setting is in a different place in both.) Retrial said it wouldn't enable for them in one of the two (Extended I believe) and suggested sending a bug report on Github, but I am not personally experiencing that bug.

(I got ninja'd on this... 😳)

ReVanced Extended (inotia00) Patches - [github] - Link

You can mix and match. 😉

I am currently using ReVanced patches for YouTube, and inotia00 patches for YouTube Music.

Hope it helps more than confuse. 🙃

Hello,

I'm experiencing a problem since yesterday. Eveything has been fine with my Revanced Extended until yesterday. Now, any video gets to around 1:05 before the infinite buffer starts.

I do have protobuf setting on. And I have not changed anything about my previously perfectly working build. Any help /advice/anyone else experiencing the same?

I've cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled and reinsalled, and rebuilt. Nothing

YouTube Version: 18.17.43

Revanced Manager Version: 1.2.0

Integrations Version: 0.107.10

Patches Version: 2.173.10
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
Just started experiencing the same issue here yesterday. Spent many hours trying to troubleshoot the darn thing lol 😂.

Hi there,

I just tried to reproduce this issue, but could not. Still works well for me. I'm on the same versions you are
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
Good to know. Could be a backend thing affecting some but not all. Could have updated a google app or something that detects vanced. Unknown right now.

Did you installed Vanced microG?
[Android Apps and Games] HTCCM11/2:
Yes I have it on phone installed
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
It seemed to work fine on my other channel on the same Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
From where you got the apk?

I suggest you to go: Device Settings > Apps > Search and Uninstall everything related to "vanced microg" and "revanced". Then go to post #2 on this thread and download the YouTube ReVanced .zip. Unzip it > Install Vanced MicroG apk and ReVanced apk > Set Vanced MicroG to not be optimized in battery settings > Set ReVanced as default YouTube app to open yt links and you hopefully good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
What do you mean other channel?
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
Sorry I'm probably using the wrong term but like it's when you click your profile in the top right in the app and it shows like a list of the accounts? tied to the email. Then if you have more than one you switch between them.
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
Understood! I only have one account. And still doesn't work. I wonder why . @Retrial any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
I use original app and "extended" and they coexist

I have Premium so ad block doesn't matter, but I use "extended" because I need timestamp on live chat (tablet mode)
[Android Apps and Games] gpvecchi:
Premium navbar can't be hidden on Spotify app with 1.3.5
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
For Spotify I would use XManager. Just make sure to toogle off ads in Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Sorry I don't know. It's working fine for me. Did you tried official revanced to check if this happens there too?
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
I tried the official revanced and had no luck with it either. Oddly enough, when I go to turn off the spoof app signature setting it works just fine however, it automatically enables/turns on back the spoof app setting and then it goes back to buffering.

Is there a way to turn off that feature?
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
You're right. When I turn off protobuf the videos play normally, but after a while it automatically turns on. I think it's a feature we need to have and has worked great in the past, unsure why it's giving us issues now.
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
The protobuff automatically turn on when needed. As far as I know it was designed like that and then they make it enabled by default.

Report the issue on their GitHub or on their Discord.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
I have no problems with latest manager. Which problem can it be?
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
So another weird thing. What works is to uninstall vanced micro g and re install. In YouTube, you won't be singed in and eveything works great! Same settings and eveything. As soon as I log in thought , I get the infinite buffer. So it's something account related. Similar to what another thing mentioned that changing to another channel/account makes it work.
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
I visited the revanced discord because the subreddit is private or whatever and other users there were also experiencing the same issue as us. The mods/admins there acknowledged it, so maybe we'll hear back from them 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
The temp fixes discussed in the discord are:

Us incógnito mode

Spoof app version to 16.xx.xx

Use YouTube without signing in

Use a VPN to another country (only works for some, not me)
[Android Apps and Games] RustyArk:
Tried the 2nd method here and it works for me so far! No buffers or pausing!

The method is go to Youtube Settings > ReVanced > Layout > Spoof app version (enabled) > Spoof app version target (click and select 16.08.35)
[Android Apps and Games] NXUS:
It must be some A/B testing of some sorts because I just noticed, I also do not have ambient mode options in YouTube anymore. In my settings it's all set up to work, and I used to have it enabled and working. Now the options in the flyout menu is gone and no ambient lighting.
[Android Apps and Games] jpacil:
Same this worked for me
[Android Apps and Games] shanar585:
@Retrial So you just going to ignore my question?
[Android Apps and Games] adr1st:
Whats the difference between insta official & revanced ready apk?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I didn't signed a contract to reply to each of you, but I am trying... This is a forum and anyone knowledged can reply to your question. If I didn't, probably I missed or forgot it, or I don't know.

The permission probably needed to be able select the apk from storage/sd (internal/external) or to export the apk you patched.

You can ask at revanced manager github for more detailed answer. Here is the specific commit.

EDIT: It was working fine even without that permission before but now It's needed because of Sync for Reddit's change-oauth-clientId patch which looks for txt file in /sdcard. You can PR if you want to scope it to Downloads directory. Link to the Question / Link to the Answer

ReVanced Instagram supposed to hide the timeline ads.
[Android Apps and Games] asheroto:
I can log in with MicroG fine, and have used this for over a year without issue, but for some reason it's not saving any video I watch to history. If I watch it on my computer it saves the videos, but no videos watched on mobile are saved to watch history. It was working fine forever up until the past week or two.

Using the latest versions as of today. Also tried mMicroG.

Not using root for it, but have MicroG. I can use the root version but try to avoid any modules that don't absolutely need root.

Tried release 18.0.39 as one user mentioned but that doesn't fix it either :-/

I don't think it's a MicroG issue since I can login okay.

Sorry if this is already asked :)

For History issue, check your dns or ad-blocker and whitelist the following domains: "s.youtube.com", "video-stats.l.google.com" and "video-stats.video.google.com." If you use VPN try to turn it off.

For ReVanced Extended status check here.

Also check the first section at OP for differences between ReVanced and Extended.

I don't suggest to use NoName-exe. Use my ready apks from post #2 or the magisk module by @Wolfcity (it also includes ready apk for non root if you don't want to use mine).

[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
Oh yeah...I forgot. Reddit communities doing protest by closing their subreddits. The reason is: Reddit will force all third party apps to shut down by increasing the cost of API access and communities hate this. As an Infinity for Reddit user I also hate this change.

[Android Apps and Games] asheroto:
I thought that might be the case. For the last few days I've seen the notice "this community is shut down to protect the API change".... but now Reddit even took THAT away from us. haha.
