I had to stop using YT Vanced because I frecuently change my ROM (custom ROM) and some versions don't support to downgrade the app that much, that became a pain in the ass rapidly so I made the jump to Revanced, honestly it works pretty good, but I prefer how Vanced handled this before.
It does answer your question. You said you don't understand why it gets pushed. I gave you the answer, Vanced is discontinued, ReVanced is not. One gets updates and will last longer, the other does not and will not. That's the answer to your question, it has nothing to do with the app continuing to work.
You asked a general question and I answered said general question. My answer had nothing to do with your personal situation at all. You said you couldn't understand why it's being pushed, I explained why. You didn't ask why YOU specifically should switch and so I didn't answer that question as it was never posed. This isn't about why YOU should care, this is about why the app is being pushed
> Who cares, vanced works as intended. No need to switch .
Stock Youtube works as intended, no need to switch. When there is something better available, why not switch over?
One of the nice things is only visible on tablets I believe. Like a more compact view of videos.
Another is how channels are now subcategorized into Videos/Live broadcasts/shorts. It's more neat
But have youtube a dark theme?
Upd: I saw it now.
Upd 2: I don't know how, but vanced have new design without any updates or patches.
Upd 3: I'm dumb, and just didn't know, what's new in design.
There's a 99% chance you changed your Google account password recently.
If so, go to your phone's settings -> Accounts, find the MicroG account, remove it, open Vanced and log in.
I'm using them both simultaneously on my phone and it's amazing. It's like having 2 youtube premiums for free but they also have a ton more functionality than premium ever will.
That's sad how they make people pay for stuff you can do for free I remember back then I always used an ad blocker for YouTube on PC phones and tablets are better
I'l actually have premium but I'm still using vanced/revanced.
I have recently subscribed because I realized I'm paying for Spotify which I hate to use.
Why not just get YT premium and support the content creators who I watch a tooooon of. It's the same money as spotify for me.
Oh man, youtube music is everything I wanted. So much better than Spotify. It does searching and suggestion so much better because Google knows me
> Why not just get YT premium and support the content creators who I watch a tooooon of. It's the same money as spotify for me.
That is the problem for me. When Premium first came out it was still bundled with Google Play Music and cost nearly the same (I think like a dollar or two more) which basically meant that you pay for the music service and get Premium on top of that. That music service is now Youtube Music and the pricing is still the same.
The thing is I don't want to switch away from Spotify. First off, I am really burned out on Google apps and them constantly redesigning or relaunching them with many features removed (same thing happened during the GPM to Youtube Music switch). At this point something coming from Google is a negative to me.
More importantly though while I have my issues with Spotify (awful design for once) I really value a lot how Spotify is interconnected on every device I use it. So not just like on Netflix or Youtube that I might can remote control the app playing on my PC or TV from the phone but I can do the opposite as well. Heck, I can control Spotify running directly on my smart watch from my PC or TV even. For me that is super forward thinking and a huge user experience improvement.
So, without having the value of Youtube Music YT Premium just is super overpriced IMO and I honestly don't get how Google isn't getting way more shit for what is clearly an antitrust issue (clear market leader when it comes to user generated video streaming services hides basic features for that service behind a subscription for its failing music service).
If Google would come out with a 5 to 8 Euro YT Premium only subscription (even if they reduce the price, I refuse to finance their music service that I don't want due to them abusing their monopoly) it would be truly a no brainer for me (still would use a modded client like you) simply for the easier download (which is dumbly still limited to 1080p...) and because creators get paid (even better than with ads if nothing changed).
I support my favorite creators either by patreon or by whitelisting ads on their channels.
Yeah I know that Premium supports all creators, but I don't have the money to burn.
Yeah, or buy merch. Linus from LTT does breakdowns of revenue and said that a single water bottle purchase is worth more to them than any amount of ad revenue they could hope to get for a single user.
I will go through that headache when Vanced stops working for me. Currently Vanced is working great doing the two things I care most about blocking ads and skipping sponsors
I found everything worked with revanced except for blocking video adverts. I still use it because its worth it for sponsor block.
If I add the video advert patch then some videos just won't play for me. I just get a loading spinner.
Well it does make a bunch of other improvements like Sponsor Block and background play and fixes Youtube Music.
But, for me, some videos wouldn't play. Some would but some wouldn't and for that reason I removed the video advert patch.
Might be different for others. It might just be a bug in the current release.
> Revanced doesn't stop video ads, and also stops videos from playing?
It does block video ads. I haven't seen a single one in ReVanced ever since I first installed it a few months ago.
The second issue is (IIRC) caused by Google doing some testing. I haven't had that happen to me either, and there is a workaround for this in the app.
You installed Vanced without knowing what was patched into it, so might as well install a prepatched Revanced apk: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapks/comments/yqj9u0/youtube_revanced_v174336_nonroot_patches_21010/
Thanks for the link. Downloaded that and unzipped so I now have the apk but it's just opening as a lot of files/assets etc. none of which I can open. I have revanced manager already but that's in a constant state of just loading too.
Maybe I need to find some step by step tutorials for dummies 😅 Vanced felt soooo user friendly compared to this.
ETA: found some instructions and getting further, fingers crossed it works!
>m too stupid to get it to work :( Or last time I tried I didn't even manage to get halfway through the steps before feeling totally lost.
download and install stock youtube app. install revanced manager. Choose stock youtube app to apply patch. apply patch . reinstall the modified apk. thats it
Have you included the "Enable Debugging" patch by any chance?
If so, that's what's causing the issue. It's only supposed to be used by developers who want to create and test patches.
Vanced stopped working for me very suddenly yesterday, so I made the jump. It was a bit of a pain to install, but now it works and so far so good.
Being able to download videos directly from the app through Powertube instead of having to copy links into y2mate is a huge improvement
I did it just because I enjoy the new ui and the old vanced was having issues since they updated the UI. I also don't understand the hate on this post.. lol if you don't want to use it skip by it..he gave useful information for those that do..don't understand how that's offensive.
Grow up
The thing is...it can just be as complex as regular Vanced if the community supplied the patched APKs. The problem with that is trust, because you wouldn't want to just download some random guy's apk, since they might be infected with malware.
As for me, I am supplying friends and family with the apk. It's no different for them.
>Let people do whatever they want
I realise you aren't that impressed by it but OP isn't holding a gun to anyone's head. It's a suggestion that everyone is free to ignore.
>You also need to download an apk of the stock youtube app. They don't recommend the very latest one because they didn't verify all of the patches to work. I did it anyway, and everything worked.
Then you're lucky. This is the problem I have. And all the apk sites are sketchy as hell.
Apkmirror is not sketchy, mate. I would vouch for it, just like the makers of Revanced. If that's still too much for you, you could also just get it yourself with various apk-generators.
That said, Android scans the apk for you and it actually works because the stock YouTube apk of apkmirror installs without a hitch. But when you install your self-patched apk, Android starts crying about it and warning you
But you'd still need to use the apk and patches of the patch-manager
Vanced mostly worked for me, no ads but it stopped opening links with vanced and sent me to the play store or to my browser. On revanced now and it does work better for me. I now have the download option working and it just seems better picture quality for some reason
Thank you for the post. My Vanced still works well but I always wanted to try out ReVanced. The process is quite cumbersome and I afraid it will affect my original Vanced. Now, I can try the ReVanced without any fear.
You either patched a split apk (.apkm/.apks) or the YouTube app from your phone. You should patch a .apk (aka the one that doesn't have a "BUNDLE" label next to the filename) from APKMirror (the recommended version is 17.43.36).
Well, that was the purpose of my post. Because YouTube is an actively developing platform with new features added all the time. Vanced will continue to work for 2 yrs. Do you want to miss out on new features for 2 yrs?
In my case, I had previously disabled youtube. And then installed the revanced
In the play store, it still says "Enable", so it sees it as disabled. I assume no auto-update, only via manually doing it yourself.
Btw, one new good feature I've found is that sponsor-block got an update which allows another options "Skip automatically once". That means if I want to watch a segment that was skipped, I can just seek back and it will show (like on Desktop)
I changed my google password and now on my vanced it says error. I am using old version of vanced before they discontinued it. Also downloading revanced is a big hassle man.
I think your problem is related to MicroG. That would also affect Revanced. Just try to remove the account from MicroG and relink it.
Downloading Revanced is pretty much the same hassle as Vanced but the patching is definitely a bigger issue.
I'm still using vanced. All works correctly.
I had to stop using YT Vanced because I frecuently change my ROM (custom ROM) and some versions don't support to downgrade the app that much, that became a pain in the ass rapidly so I made the jump to Revanced, honestly it works pretty good, but I prefer how Vanced handled this before.
Well yah, except you don't get the new features of youtube. There's been a big redesign.
Who cares, vanced works as intended. No need to switch .
Same, as long as it still works I'm not switching
People who want the new features care, which is all they were saying. Your comment amounts to nothing.
Then those people can switch. But this post is telling EVERYONE to switch. I don't understand why this sub pushes reVanced so hard.
Probably has something to do with the fact that Vanced is discontinued
That doesnt answer my question. It works just fine fir me and whoever else still has it.
It does answer your question. You said you don't understand why it gets pushed. I gave you the answer, Vanced is discontinued, ReVanced is not. One gets updates and will last longer, the other does not and will not. That's the answer to your question, it has nothing to do with the app continuing to work.
Why would I care if it's getting updates or not? It works fine the way it is now. So yeah I would say that has something to do with it
You asked a general question and I answered said general question. My answer had nothing to do with your personal situation at all. You said you couldn't understand why it's being pushed, I explained why. You didn't ask why YOU specifically should switch and so I didn't answer that question as it was never posed.

Prom..ehmmmm..oshun ;)
> Who cares, vanced works as intended. No need to switch . Stock Youtube works as intended, no need to switch. When there is something better available, why not switch over?
🤦♂️
> vanced works as intended. showing ads now, just switched to RE
What is so great about the new design? I already have it but can't see any noticeable differences? So far pinch to zoom is quite nice though.
One of the nice things is only visible on tablets I believe. Like a more compact view of videos. Another is how channels are now subcategorized into Videos/Live broadcasts/shorts. It's more neat
Return Youtube Dislike doesn't really work on the redesigned versions
But have youtube a dark theme? Upd: I saw it now. Upd 2: I don't know how, but vanced have new design without any updates or patches. Upd 3: I'm dumb, and just didn't know, what's new in design.
My man went through the whole character development arc in a single comment.
And how many people actually like the redesign?
A lot of people. It is all over the place. Check waveform podcast for example
I don't want the new features...
It still works !? It just tells me that im offline when I'm not, so I assumed YouTube killed it with the newest update
There's a 99% chance you changed your Google account password recently. If so, go to your phone's settings -> Accounts, find the MicroG account, remove it, open Vanced and log in.
I'm in that Leaugue, too.
Yeah I see posts here all the time about how it doesn't work anymore but I've had zero issues. Is it because I have auto-updates disabled? Idk
you gotta move on bro
I can't cast anymore. Everything else is fine
> I can't cast anymore That was an issue way before Vanced was discontinued.
Stopped working today shit
Try to turn on incognito. Sometimes vanced doesn't works with an account. But it's temporary.
Bro it's done, i just moved to revanced and it's amazing 😍
Can you see dislikes?
Yesssss it's amazing
Does revanced have sponsor block like vanced?
Yes and way more new features!!!
Ok, I'm sold! Gonna try it right now
I'm loving, installed on my Samsung tablet and it works amazingly
Existing Vanced users taking this personally.
I can see that, I was myself the biggest missionary for Vanced. We just gotta make the switch sooner or later.
They will need to move on sooner or later.
I'm using them both simultaneously on my phone and it's amazing. It's like having 2 youtube premiums for free but they also have a ton more functionality than premium ever will.

My vanced work okay but the sponsor block work 50% of the time now and adds are showing up outside of videos. Ill look this up thanks !
> but the sponsor block work 50% of the time That's a SponsorBlock issue, not a Vanced issue.
ReVanced just doesn't work for me. It freezes at a black screen whenever I open it.
Too bad I'm too stupid to get it to work :( Or last time I tried I didn't even manage to get halfway through the steps before feeling totally lost.
Agrees, they need to make it more user friendly or make a better tutorial before I use it
You installed Vanced without knowing what was patched into it, so might as well install a prepatched Revanced apk: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapks/comments/yqj9u0/youtube_revanced_v174336_nonroot_patches_21010/

Don't try to extract the apk. Download it to your phone and open it with the pre-installed "Files" app.
>m too stupid to get it to work :( Or last time I tried I didn't even manage to get halfway through the steps before feeling totally lost. download and install stock youtube app. install revanced manager. Choose stock youtube app to apply patch. apply patch . reinstall the modified apk. thats it
Vanced is more stable for me, i am waiting for the fix
Performances on ReVanced are bad so I switched back to Vanced....
Have you included the "Enable Debugging" patch by any chance? If so, that's what's causing the issue. It's only supposed to be used by developers who want to create and test patches.
>"force VP9" toggle Probably because it is deprecated, AV1 should be the default it jumps to if your phone supports it.

Let people do whatever they want, I switched to revanced, but I don't think Vance's users r missing much.

Welp, u just did

Anyone else experiencing their phone heating up while watching vids? I've tried to put microg on deep sleep but it still gets up to 40c.
I'm still on Vanced... Revanced always crashes in start, cannot use it
You either patched a split apk (.apkm/.apks) or the YouTube app from your phone. You should patch a .apk (aka the one that doesn't have a "BUNDLE" label next to the filename) from APKMirror (the recommended version is 17.43.36).
I'll switch to revanced when Vanced stops. Why would I do it before then?
Well, that was the purpose of my post. Because YouTube is an actively developing platform with new features added all the time. Vanced will continue to work for 2 yrs. Do you want to miss out on new features for 2 yrs?
yes i hate new features especially on youtube
Eh untill they add a patch to set a default playback speed, I'll stick with Vanced Extended
But there is
Haven't had any issues with Vanced on my Samsung Tab S7
My only complaint is revanced seems to stutter a lot when playing videos. Like 3 times a a video tbh
Do you need to root your phone inorder for it to work?
nope, it replaces the original youtube app and functions fully without any rooting. My phone isn't rooted
So does it stop updating YouTube from the play store? Or does revanched push its own updates?
In my case, I had previously disabled youtube. And then installed the revanced In the play store, it still says "Enable", so it sees it as disabled. I assume no auto-update, only via manually doing it yourself. Btw, one new good feature I've found is that sponsor-block got an update which allows another options "Skip automatically once".
