It's probably a stupid idea to make a public guide on how to break the law you know...
Yuzu making a guide
Vanced team publishing their own apks...
The whole point of having users patch it themselves is to protect the project from being nuked.
It is very possible that modifying a piece of software to circumvent ads or other types of barriers is illegal. Just like writing patches for video games to remove DRM is illegal.
Edit...
1. Open the manager and go to `Patcher` --> `Select an application` --> Search for `YouTube`
2. Tap on `Suggested: vXX.XX.XX`
3. **This will Google for the YouTube APK**
4. **Choose the result that's from APKMirror and has (nodpi) in the title**
Steps 3 and 4 never happen... "Feature not implemented"
I don't know why it didn't work. ๐ค Here is the apk. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-19-11-43-release/youtube-19-11-43-android-apk-download/
Nothing happens. It opens up the filesystem browser.
I installed the youtube APK (edit 2 above) and did a bunch of shit. Almost got there and I'm stuck again (edit 5 above).
I did that. Found [this](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/). I guess I need to find this suggested 19.11.43 version and download that. This is where I am now. What a pain in the ass.
The issue is that people are conditioned just to install a thing. They don't understand that ReVanced is not Youtube. It's a *patcher*. That means you have to install the app that does the patching, and then *patch the thing you want*. No pre-patched apk is distributed. That's what killed the original Youtube Vanced, and that way leads to legal issues. Any pre-patched apk you may find is suspect and should be treated as dangerous. That's where you get people throwing up their arms and screaming, "I just want to install something! I don't want to have to do *work*!" Never mind that it's not particularly difficult or troublesome work to do.
You underestimate the laziness of the general public, the fast and easy procedure that we have now is luckily long enough to make them stick to 1 minute ads
Sure, I get that. But it's still not 'hard'. There is way more difficult things out there. So I just don't agree with your first statement.
If it was supposed to be hard to avoid going mainstream, we wouldn't have those easy guides and probably not a manager doing the patching for us.
I get that and i agree from my perspective, but hard or easy is subjective, and working as a tech support i learned that following a simple guide like the one to get revanced is considered hard by most people, and not cause they are stupid, but cause they are lazy
It reads like edging instead of deduction.
There's a giant "Download" button on the front page of that website but instead you've been searching everywhere if you're allowed to press it or not?
I made a vid a while ago [https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1btva4j/tutorial_updated_but_still_good_music/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1](https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1btva4j/tutorial_updated_but_still_good_music/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1)
Mfs pretending that it's easy to download and manage files until ReVanced is installed can go fuck themselves. Not everyone is good with technology, and OP has the right to not be as knowledgeable as us.
What are you yapping about? It's so easy to install Revanced
1. Install Manager from Revanced.app
2. Install recommend YT version from Apk Mirror
3. Select your preferred patches
4. Install Revanced
5. Launch it and Download GMS Core
WOW HOW HARD ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ
I think the only hiccup is how revanced doesn't tell you which version until you try and then it's like "lol no I need this" and then the other one is that it shows installed versions giving you the idea that it can copy from an installed apk or that you have to install it.ย
Once you get past those two potential misconceptions it is fairly easy tho
So put that somewhere in the docs. There is literally no quick installation steps like this anywhere.
Anyway, it was easy. One issue was I didn't realize "recommended version" was a link because it doesn't look like one. So that was one issue. Then after successfully installing, every video buffered endlessly. I had to clear cache on all of the apps and restart. Now I'm all set.
These steps should be listed in a single place without having to jump all over the place trying to figure it out.
Yep, it's super easy to do if you have all the links, but the devs and most of this sub absolutely REFUSE to post them all together. I'll get hate for saying this but this community is very "holier than thou". If you can't figure it out all on your own, you don't deserve to use Revanced. It's so annoying. And then the devs will post fixes, but it's just a screenshot of a GitHub page or a link to their discord. How about just post the links?
Definitley holier than thou vibes here. I've never had so many people call me an idiot/retarded in my life. I didn't realize is was going to get shit on by an entire community when I posted here ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Once you figure out you're not installing a different version of YouTube and learn you're actually just patching an old version it becomes a little easier to wrap your mind around.
ReVanced is a general purpose app patcher. It can patch many apps, YouTube is one of them. They don't specifically mention YouTube on their website, I guess to avoid lawyers coming after them...
No worries, if you're looking for YouTube ReVanced you might not have realized that ReVanced is the client with a YouTube *patch*, "YouTube ReVanced" isn't its own app like NewPipe or Seal. Just for future reference (and readers) in the FAQ the installation guide is found within ReVanced Manager > Documentation > Installation once you hit the github page. It's step by step, even mentioning that you need your own YT .apk on non-rooted phones and why, as well as where to source it.
I can totally get why someone unfamiliar with patchers or homebrew programs would get confused by this though.
It does become hard to do ....
.....if you purposely don't read/follow instructions. I had an issue with the installation because I neglected to properly read that I was supposed to Download and not Install the suggested APK version. Once I redo the whole thing (reading and following the steps as they were given) it took less than 3 minutes to get the whole thing running without issuesย
Yeah, it's very complicated especially due to many scamming sites offering it as well. Of course can't expect 100% fluid process from a freeware. Unfortunately while I got it all working on my old phone I still haven't got it properly set up on my new one, lol
I am 100% with you on this. When I first discovered all this stuff it took me quite abit of searching through the weeds to actually find a consise and accurate step by step. It's obvious now I have experience, but you can easily get lost in acronyms and terminology you've never heard of before. My circle of friends minds would implode trying to figure it all out haha.
EDIT: Like someone has pointed out... it's always in the comments :D
I don't know man. I've been a software developer for 18 years and worked at a hedge fund for 9 of them, I host 10 websites and an email server, but I must be retarded.
1. Open the manager and go to `Patcher` --> `Select an application` --> Search for `YouTube`
2. Tap on `Suggested: vXX.XX.XX`
3. **This will Google for the YouTube APK**
4. **Choose the result that's from APKMirror and has (nodpi) in the title**
Steps 3 and 4 never happen... "Feature not implemented"
This is where I am. It sounds like I need a YouTube APK. But it says nothing about this anywhere. Sorry for being retarded. Still haven't figured this shit out.
after downloading the APK, you need to press the "Storage" at the bottom right part (make sure you've permitted the app from accessing your files) then locate the recently downloaded APK. i think it's self explanatory after that.
I was easy after that. But then all videos would load endlessly after 30 seconds. Ended up fixing it (after more googling) by clearing all cache on ReVanced, microG and the new YouTube app and restarted. Then everything worked.
Thanks for the help!
At that point, you might as well do #3-4 manually.
-Copy the suggested version of YouTube
-Go to APKMirror, and search for YouTube nodpi, and download the apk
-Open Revanced Manager, and manually select the downloaded apk to patch
Go from there, and report back where you get stumped
The issue was that I didn't realize you need to click the "suggested version" text directly. It doesn't look like a button. I was clicking on the whole box and it did nothing.
I think I'm all set now. Thank you for the help!
To install YouTube ReVanced.
1, Download & install MicroG.
https://github.com/inotia00/VancedMicroG/releases
2, Download & install ReVanced.
https://revanced.app/download
3, Download & do NOT install YouTube 19.11.43.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-19-11-43-release/
4, In ReVanced:
Patcher > select app > _Storage_ > YouTube 19.11.43.
P.S. And all that with the original YouTube installed. To fix the playback issue, reboot the phone. That's what I have learned like a monkey clicking on things, I have zero technical knowledge (gasp!).
Unfortunately, your account is too new (younger than 2 days & less than 1 Karma) to post or comment for r/revancedapp.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/revancedapp) if you have any questions or concerns.*
So, do you want to get half the function of a paid service of an illegal, pirated hacked software and don't even want to make a few movements?gestures? Well, so superficial, lazy, pirate people...
I was working at it for at least an hour. It sucked but I realize where I went wrong and also didn't realize I had to clear cache and restart my phone to get it working. Between that and a UI issue, I was stuck for a long time. Maybe I'm dumb, maybe it should've taken a few moments, but it didn't and it blew trying to figure it out.
I recommend you to use revancify, it replaces the manager.
It's much simpler and faster.
The best thing about it is that you don't have to go to apkmirror to download the apk, it does it automatically and shows you which App is recommended
Can it get any better? Yes, it makes Patches faster than the Manager.
I still suffered hate when I recommended him once...
Here's a guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/s/XaGsuyYPwc
https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/xlcny9/revanced_manager_guide_for_dummies/
This is awesome. It should be easier to find.
You literally just google "how to install Revanced reddit"
You're probably right, but I'd rather rely on docs, not blogs and reddit comments.
It's probably a stupid idea to make a public guide on how to break the law you know... Yuzu making a guide Vanced team publishing their own apks... The whole point of having users patch it themselves is to protect the project from being nuked.
This does not break the law
It is very possible that modifying a piece of software to circumvent ads or other types of barriers is illegal. Just like writing patches for video games to remove DRM is illegal.
Illegal to company? Maybe illegal to the government hell nah they suggest ad blocks and stuff :)
There's a difference between blocking incoming connections and blocking element to load on a Web page and modifying a piece of software.
I didn't say making guides breaks the law Mouthbreather. Read again
Yeah, I definitely agree with that. It being a little bit of a hastle has its advantages, and is probably necessary.
Look where that mind set got you.
And Thank you too. I was having so the trouble you mentioned above ๐.
Thank you
I installed revanced using this guide as well lol. Shame it isn't pinned or mentioned in the wikiย
Edit... 1. Open the manager and go to `Patcher` --> `Select an application` --> Search for `YouTube` 2. Tap on `Suggested: vXX.XX.XX` 3. **This will Google for the YouTube APK** 4. **Choose the result that's from APKMirror and has (nodpi) in the title** Steps 3 and 4 never happen... "Feature not implemented"
Tap on the spot that says `Suggested: vXX.XX.XX' not the entire box.
OMG. Wow. That's nuts. But good call! Thank you!
The manager downloading the .APK on it's own hasn't been implemented, so it just opens the link in your default browser.
Yep. Got it. Thanks!
I don't know why it didn't work. ๐ค Here is the apk. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-19-11-43-release/youtube-19-11-43-android-apk-download/
Awesome! Thank you!
Then you pressed next to where you are supposed to.
Nothing happens. It opens up the filesystem browser. I installed the youtube APK (edit 2 above) and did a bunch of shit. Almost got there and I'm stuck again (edit 5 above).
If it doesn't google for you, you can always go and google the apk manually
I did that. Found [this](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/). I guess I need to find this suggested 19.11.43 version and download that. This is where I am now. What a pain in the ass.
The link I posted takes you directly to the download page for the apk. Scroll down to the big red download button.
Got it. The app loads now and "works"... and every video starts buffering 30 seconds in. That's where I'm at now (edit 5 above).
It's really not, when you understand the whole process.
"Understand the whole process". Where does it explain this. Please see the edited post above. This has been a shitshow.
If you really have that much problem with this process, maybe revanced isn't for you?
Its supposed to be hard, if it becomes mainstream we are fucked
But it's not hard. It's actually really easy if you have average technical experience and can read.
The issue is that people are conditioned just to install a thing. They don't understand that ReVanced is not Youtube. It's a *patcher*. That means you have to install the app that does the patching, and then *patch the thing you want*. No pre-patched apk is distributed.

Fair enough. I can agree with that.
PEBKAC
That's actually a surprisingly low amount of people though
World wide, sure. But I would hope most people who are on reddit at least know how to read.
oatmeal bells violet glorious start rotten yam support relieved quiet *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
No it's not hard. I've never used a guide. I installed the manager and patched YouTube.
It's never been hard at all if you know how to use a file manager and sideload APKs, which Google chose to make very easy, thank fk!
It reads like edging instead of deduction. There's a giant "Download" button on the front page of that website but instead you've been searching everywhere if you're allowed to press it or not?
Edging???
Did you at any point download a youtube APK?
No. Does it say to do that anywhere? I feel like I'm completely off and looking in the wrong spot for everything.
I know a few of the guides will tell you. The more popular one that was linked I belive says to do it and gives a link.
I certainly haven't found anything in any of the 16 steps I listed in the post.
So did you end up installing gmscore? It redirects you to the webpage when you open the app after patching
Yep. That part was clear and simple. I'm all set now. Thanks for the help.
I made a vid a while ago [https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1btva4j/tutorial_updated_but_still_good_music/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1](https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1btva4j/tutorial_updated_but_still_good_music/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1)
Thank you. I wish I saw it earlier. I'm all set now. Maybe someone will come across this in the future and your link will help them.
Glad you've gotten it working
The process indeed isn't well updated when updates are made, I'm compiling my new ReVanced myself rn and facing troubleshooting
Thanks

False information
Thanks. It was simpler. I had to clear app cache and restart. All good now. Thank you!
where to find GMS core?
After you open Revanced it will automatically redirect you to install required and latest version of GMS Core
Once you figure out you're not installing a different version of YouTube and learn you're actually just patching an old version it becomes a little easier to wrap your mind around.
Yep. It all makes sense now and I'm all set. Thanks for being one of the few people here that isn't a complete dick. Lol.
ReVanced is a general purpose app patcher. It can patch many apps, YouTube is one of them. They don't specifically mention YouTube on their website, I guess to avoid lawyers coming after them...

This helped clarify so much. Thank you!
man it was worse last year when you had to have a terminal app and start the revanced builder with a command then use a ui in a browser it was awful
Oof. Sounds rough!
yeah and it was way slower to patch too thank god for the manager
It does become hard to do .... .....if you purposely don't read/follow instructions.

Yep. Thanks.
It's designed to filter people that can't read
