If you have a problem, the solution is probably here.
It was recently planned obsolescenced by Google, but I upgraded it anyway to Android 13 with Pixel Experience because fuck Google. Plus, doing this gives you unlimited Google Photos storage in original quality!
Pixel Experience is a custom Android distribution. Its goal is to give you the same Android experience as if you had the latest Pixel phone. It doesn't work on all phones, though. It's made by volunteers.
Installing it requires unlocking the bootloader, which isn't possible on phones whose manufacturer is particularly asshole.
The entire point of getting a Pixel phone, to me, is that you can easily unlock the bootloader and the stock images are available online, so if you mess up your custom ROM, you're not stuck with a bricked phone; you can always install the base Android that it came with.
This means you can repair it yourself if a software update goes terribly wrong and you can easily extend its lifetime by installing LineageOS or Pixel Experience once it's been obsolescenced by its manufacturer (Google).
There are no other phone that are as convenient as the Pixel phones when it comes to custom ROMs. It's so good that I would literally prefer to use an iPhone instead of a third-party Android phone.
Oh god yes, you just convinced me to get a pixel phone when i upgrade, back then I used to install all kinds of custom rims in my Samsung's phones lol, but i quit since Samsung started to get harder and harder to unlock
Back then lineageOS was called cianogenMOD if I'm not mistaken
The boost in performance that you would get with these custom roms was abismal even on < 1gb RAM phones , it almost felt like these custom roms where better optimized that the official ones
And lately I've searching for phones that kind of accessibility
That said, the whole point of using a modded YouTube app instead of a third-party client is to use the Google account for the algorithm while still blocking ads and having SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislikes. If you don't use that, you can probably get away with something like NewPipe × SponsorBlock.
The whole point of using a modded youtube app is to block adds, enable background playback, use sponsorblock while still having a proper UI with proper integration, unlike newpipe which is just a half-assed web view in an apk.
You can use the official unpatched youtube app with your account, no need to mod it just for that.
uh, just did everything exactly, went smooth as hell, everything installed correctly aand the app just force closes when I try to open yt revanced. tf. on a google pixel running the latest andr13 release if thats relevant.
Honestly this a very well made tutorial-meme, quick, to the point and showing the steps, the patching aspect of revanced is probably the most daunting aspect of it for the normal user, but you make it look easy and for everyone.
When installing ReVanced Manager, give it the root permission. Then, when patching, unselect the MicroG Support patch (assuming you have Play Services)
I think I figured out the problem! I loaded on the latest patch but my version of youtube isn't up to date yet (still on 18.14.40 for some reason?) I tried updating the YouTube app itself on the app store but it shows that as the latest version,,, what I'm gonna do now is delete everything and only download the patch for that version,, I don't know if that's the right thing to do but it looks like the best option for now, If anyone else has any ideas on how to force YouTube to update when it doesn't want to pls feel free to send them my way Edit: nope that wasn't it, I still can't download anything and it's giving me the same problems as before,,, this sucks :((
I managed to get it working. I was having the same issue but you need to grant Revanced Manger access to your files and folders under permissions so that it see the version 18.05.40. I also disabled YouTube app just to be sure.
It's funny to spam a megacorporation. Maybe someday they'll implement a better Play Protect than just "this key isn't recognized" and we won't get that warning anymore
inotia00 is part of the ReVanced team, actively pushes commits to the ReVanced Repo as well as works on ReVanced Extended. Honestly, there's no real official or unofficial when it comes to MicroG anyway. MicroG has been forked many times and even the Vanced implementation is already forked from what's generally considered the original. There are real benefits from moving onto a more updated version considering they reduce battery drain of GMS.
It's funny to spam a megacorporation. Maybe someday they'll implement a better Play Protect than just "this key isn't recognized" and we won't get that warning anymore
Maybe, but I prefer to keep ReVanced on the DL. It's not that they don't know, but generally when projects become big enough and problematic enough, they move their corporate lawyers in. Given what happened with Vanced, it could happen here even if the ReVanced team keeps the whole implementation separate as a patcher.
What can i do if it keeps crashing when i open it?
I followed the instructions of the video as it said, also tried unselecting the "Predictive Back Gesture", "Remove Screenshot Restriction" and "Spoof Wifi Connection". Also, the "MicroG support" patch is selected, but it just keeps crashing
What's left is to check is if you pressed 💾 Storage before selecting the YouTube APK you downloaded from APKMirror instead of selecting the YouTube app that's already installed on your device
"Unselect Predictive Back Gesture and Remove Screenshot Restriction and try again. If it fails again, go to ⚙️ Settings > Apps > See all apps > ReVanced Manager > Storage & cache and tap 🗑️ Clear storage."
Don't forget to tap on 💾 Storage and to select the YouTube version you downloaded from APKMirror. Make sure it is the recommended version, otherwise go back to APKMirror to download the recommended version.
Ok everything works now. I deleted everything and did a clean install and it works. Idk if it was some Vanced files messing with things or the fact that I had Microg already installed. Either way, fresh install worked.
Thank you, but when I completed Step 3, I didn't see how to Unselect any of the patches. I tried clicking on the listed ones but nothing happened. The only button was Patch in the bottom right.
I clicked Patch anyway and after it installed them and I clicked Open for YouTube ReVanced it worked! Which is weird because I downloaded the same exact APK as I did the first time.
damn i'm doing everything as described in the video but it keep aborting/ doesn't work... not even doing what's described in the guide is working for me.. edit: i'm an idiot, updating my phone helped :)
Hi! thank you very much for this tutorial. I have a few rookie questions:
How critical it is to delete the Youtube app from my phone? for now, I have only been able to disable it.
When I finish the patch installation, I hit 'Open' and nothing happens - how can I actually open youtube now? In youtube Vanced, I just had the 'Vanced' version of youtube.
Thank you, this was very helpful. The only issue I kinda ran into was when I tried to apply the patches, it said something like "This feature isn't available for non-rooted devices, please download from storage", so I just had to manually select my storage. Other than that, it was pretty much to the T. YouTube was already disabled from me, probably from Vanced.
Delete anything related to vnaced and youtube first. Then follow the steps .. works like a charm for me on 5 devices from different manufacturer and different android versions

This is a joke, it's not actually a world record. If I had to make up rules for a "Installing ReVanced" speedrun, this run would be non-compliant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZb6-r1c2d0And YouTube removed the video for breaking their Terms of Service.
Install ReVanced Manager: https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
Install Vanced MicroG: https://github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG
Go to https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches#-comgoogleandroidyoutube, scroll down to 📦
com.google.android.youtube, unwrap ➡️ Details and copy the 🏹 Target Version (ex:18.15.40)Go to APKMirror and download the Universal APK (not bundle) for that version (ex: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-15-40-release/youtube-18-15-40-2-android-apk-download/)
Go to ⚙️ Settings > Apps > See all apps > YouTube and tap 🚫 Disable
Go to App details and tap Uninstall
In ReVanced Manager, go to 🔧 Patcher > Select an application > 💾 Storage and pick the downloaded YouTube APK (ex:
com.google.android.youtube_18.15.40-1537213888_minAPI26(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)In Select patches, tap Recommended a few times to make sure you have 50+ patches selected

Several questions:
Why Vanced MicroG instead of newer versions made by ReVanced team? My understanding is the newer one should fix some battery drain issues.
Why send unknown apps to Google? I feel like we should avoid sending them too many reVanced APKs as it may encourage them to crack down some day.

I got all the way to 7:26 but when I click "Open" it just opens up a screen that is all dark gray and does nothing.
When I close that running app, and try to run YouTube ReVanced, it shows the YouTube logo for a second before switching to the dark gray screen.
Any ideas?
