Hey Guys, I was a YouTube vanced user for years until my YouTube stopped working and playing videos all together.

Has any apps been released to replace Vanced? Or has devs found a way to make Vanced work again

Cheers

I wrote a complete guide on how to download YouTube and patch it using ReVanced Manager. It covers all the steps you need like:

- installing the right APKs to patching

- troubleshooting, and updating.

If anyone has suggestions or improvements, I’d love to hear them!

This guide was created by combining official documentation, community tutorials, and my own testing on a real device. I wanted to make a single simplified walkthrough that pulls together all the important details so you don’t need keeping loooking and finding deleted posts and to jump between multiple sources.

And it works i just tried a video it works fine

I post this because people are sharing unofficial versions of vanced which could be viruses. So mods please don't delete this

Good to know is that Vanced is not associated with Revanced

My friend told me that I could download an app off the Google Play store called "YouTube Vanced" that allowed me to bypass ads and listen to videos even with my screen turned off. It's one of the reasons why I switched to Android.

It would appear that app has been removed from the store for obvious reasons.

Do you know of an app that would accomplish the above-listed things?

I'm looking for an app with the same functionality as the aforementioned YouTube Vanced. I know YouTube Revanced, but the it says on it's GitHub page that it's no longer maintained.

When looking for alternatives on sites like AlternativeTo, I see a bunch of freemium apps (which I don't want), NewPipe and VuTube. The problem with both is that they don't support logging into a Google account, which means no subscriptions, notifications, etc.

For a basic, ad-free YouTube client, I could use Mi Video, but it doesn't have SponsorBlock.

Vanced

As in patching the official app via an external tool to remove advertisements etc just like they do with YouTube Vanced/ReVanced?

I wish to keep using reddit on my phone, but I refuse to give them a single cent in ad revenue.

I have YouTube Vanced version 17.03.38 and YouTube music version 4.64.51 and both work great, thankfully they haven't broken yet except the only issue I'm having is with YouTube and I can't watch regular full length videos because it tells me to "upgrade to a newer version of YouTube", i can watch YouTube shorts and only once in a while when i check am i actually ablento watch regular videos. I've had no issues with Vanced YouTube music. If there's something out there that's pretty similar UI wise for Vanced YouTube, I'm just not really comfortable downloading ReVanced for some reason.

Edit:

Unfortunately, YouTube has finally killed of Vanced. You can still download the APK and will keep updating it for anyone who needs it, but just know that if it doesn't work, there is nothing I can do about it.

I suggest switching to Revanced, it works decently enough.

RIP YouTube Vanced.

To save you all the trouble and gruesome work that will just end up not working, I did all the work for all of us.

1: Delete Vanced off of your device.

2: Download the installation file from the link below.

3: Install the app and enjoy it (till YouTube inevitably shuts it down again, for one final time)...

Can someone send me a safe site? There's some in the search of google but idk which one is safe to download, thanks in advance.

This post has been moved to here.

This was done because I am deleting this Reddit account and want to be able to continue to maintain the guide. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I went searching for an update or newer version and found revanced thankfully. I am sad to uninstall the vanced app I've used for so long but, I'm very greatful that there is already a revanced app available. The only difference I've noticed so far is the section that has the "shorts" is not there. I'm sure the amazing devs who provide these awesome apps will develop and provide an updated version that will have thr "shorts" section available. If not that's fine as well I'm cool either way.

I want to say thankyou for the awesome software.

Now I'm off to figure out what I need to download and do to be able to use the download feature.
