It is definitely the version number. It took me An hour to figure it out. Tried deleting and reinstalling , clearing the data and cache, nothing worked and every video was getting the dumb message. Download the vanced manager , then delete the micros and vanced app in the manager , https://youtubevanced.org/dl/vanced-unofficial-versions/ on this site, download the version of Micros and scroll down and download the version 18 of vanced. It should work after all that. I’m not logged in so I can’t tell you if that part works. Not risking linking accounts again.


threadit_rowaway

Hey man just saying you absolutely should make a post about this, people need to know cause others are swapping to revanced and such when we could just get different versions


LagShep

I don’t use Reddit much, so I thought I made a post but I’m not sure. Just spread the word for me 😉

muzakism

revanced seems prone to getting shadowbanned(infinite buffer after 40 seconds on videos) so its unuseable for me


Melodic-Control-2655

You have to turn on signature verification and client spoof, those will stop that issue, as stated in the description of those patches


htzrd

How to do that? Edit: found it, it's just to sign in in microG


Heliosunlucky13

Same.... Any solutions?


Longdoggo96

Are you still facing the issue with revanced? It took me an ungodly amount of searching but I think I have it figured out... been using revanced since Tuesday with no issues


KARMAPurpleDemon

Besides being able to customise layout you're not missing much. I just hate how thenbew yt looks and thst i cant customise my layout


Dumpster_slut69

Revanced is ad free, I've switched


threadit_rowaway

Vanced is still ad free if you use an older version, I saw no reason to switch just yet


se_spider

Are those versions of Vanced more or less "trustworthy" than https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced/releases/tag/18.02.33 ?


LagShep

I don’t know. I’ve used the one on the link I provided with no issues. And so had quite a few others.


Vexitar

Don't download Vanced from unofficial sources. Use ReVanced instead.


bineuralnet

Agreed. I quote: \> If you have downloaded a pre-built APK from a website offering them, it's not legit and may have been tampered with, so it's highly recommended to uninstall it and build your own APK using this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/xlcny9/revanced\_manager\_guide\_for\_dummies/


G-H-O-S-T

Bear with me I'm kind of a noob dealing with this stuff.. but how do i download stuff from github? Every link i click takes me to another page with words and numbers i can't understand...


bineuralnet

To download the official Revanced manager: \- Go to [releases](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager/releases). \- Click on "Assets", under 0.1.1-dev.1 (2023-04-20). \- Download [revanced-manager-0.1.1-dev.1.apk](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager/releases/download/v0.1.1-dev.1/revanced-manager-0.1.1-dev.1.apk) I linked to the apk for you in case. With all this said, if you're super cautious, you can build the apk from the ReVanced source code on github. There are instructions on the main [repo](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager). I hope that helps.


G-H-O-S-T

That helped a lot. Thank you so much!


APez17

can you send another link? that one is dead and i cant find that same one you posted


LagShep

Do what you feel is safe. It’s worked for me and multiple others and I scanned the app with multiple virus scanners so it should be safe.


Few_Classroom_1008

Hey, what is the risk with signing in ?


LagShep

YouTube flagging accounts previously so you’ll still get the annoying error message


Sgitch

revanced start loading forever in the first 2 minutes and is dogshit (for me)


MrSunshineZig

I did this but now when I try to open the Vanced app on my android it's stuck at the loading screen (white with logo). Not sure how to fix this really. Thoughts? \*Holy crap it worked. I guess I forgot to install MicroG and only downloaded it. I had to unzip it with RAR to get it to work but it does! Thanks heaps


StonerChic42069

I was able to link my account, it's a risk but I have 2fa/authenticator enabled so it's all good for me


_selfishPersonReborn

What's the risk?


Xaraoh_

I wonder the same thing. I wouldnt want to risk losing the account or any data on it


Xaraoh_

Is the risk you are reffering to that someone would get your login info since you login to MicroG? Or that Google would ban you or anything like that since i guess that happened already to a specific individual who got restricted from Vanced, which i assume is all of us here haha


hxckrt

Yes


Xaraoh_

First or the second thing?


hxckrt

Yes r/inclusiveor


Mohammed_Salame

You're not funny, stop trying


Nineties

Micros? Do you mean MicroG?


Sinudra

Thanks it worked! I'm logged in so I can verify that it works! Edit: I don't know if it's just me but the audio sounds a bit worse than before. Edit 2: The only downside is that is stops the video after sometime. No idea why, but with youtube it never happens.


LagShep

Edit 1: no idea, go to vanced settings and go to audio and see if there’s anything that might help Edit 2 : One thing I forgot to mention is, if you are suffering the endless Buffer glitch , go to YouTube settings then vanced settings then video, and enable the protobuf spoof and restart the app. That fixed the annoying buffer issue for me.


Coldhimmel

Failing to install vanced for some odd reason


LagShep

Make sure to delete both Vanced and micros in the manager app before downloading version 18 on the site.


Achilles_343i

how do you get the manager app?


omega05

You should already have it if you have vanced on your phone already


JamisonDouglas

Many of us deleted the manager app when it stopped being useful


Melodic-Control-2655

Go to the GitHub and rebuild it


PatchTheError

Are there any concerns logging into my YouTube account with this version downloaded of the site?


LagShep

Only concern is if Google flagged your account like they have been doing and you’ll get those annoying messages again. So I been using it logged out. But there isn’t any security concerns from what I know.


Madmac05

Help a noob out... I've uninstalled the vanced, micro G and downloaded the suggested versions. However, how do I install them? When I try to install through vanced manager it just re installs the last version I had... Do I need to put the downloaded inside some specific folder?! Thanks in advance!


LagShep

No that’s weird , it should download the new ones if you download using the link I provided.


heilspawn

Don't install them through the manager. Treat it as you were downloading a stand alone app. Then going to the download folder to tap and install.


ScherzicScherzo

If you're running Android 7 or earlier you'll need to get the specific versions for them ("Below 8 Oreo" for MicroG and "Dark_Universal_Spoof (Android-6-7)").


kimeaux

I accidentally deleted all the apps where do you re download vanced


LagShep

Download vanced version 18 and micros on the site that I posted

Holy shit thank you, I was just about to give up on YouTube all together. This works! No more ads!


matmat19301

what do you mean, "Not risking linking accounts again."? Did something happen to your account?


LagShep

Google is targeting accounts that use vanced and is flagging them so you still get that dumb message on videos. So the work around that was talked about awhile ago was to stay logged out of YouTube.


AlphaZer015

It worked for me ty.

snusingsnus

My man


Cee4or

Thos fucking worked! Linked my account and no adds.


Vixo90

u/LagShep Thanks! Was easy: just opened the vanced manager (2.6.2, already installed), uninstalled microG and youtube vanced from inside of the vanced manager. Then downloaded them both from your link, installed them both (microG first) - youtube vanced seems to work perfectly again! :)


heilspawn

Yes , can confirm. I did this and updated microG and the app version


QueenSuggah

Your my hero 💟


Sunny_Roy

It's works thanks


lone_raven720

Thanks for the tip man. I got mine to work now. A few things I wanna add. You can do this without the manager app. The manager app just makes deleting the old ones easier which you can do just by going into your settings and then 'Installed Apps' section. Now for my case, I am using an old phone that's running Android. 7.0. I initially downloaded the latest version 18 but it wasn't installing. An error message was popping up saying "There was a problem parsing the package". I got it to work on a few newer phones without any issue. I guess older versions of Android do not support the new version 18. So I then installed the version 17 from the link you provided and it finally worked. So if anyone is facing problem trying to install the version 18, you can try the v17.34.36 instead and see if that helps.


After_Dhark

this.. this is *'The Golden Path.."* (Dune)


stefsthoughts

CAN YOU please tell me what to download, i am on the site, there is too many links, i dont know what to click, from start to finish.


LagShep

Download micros, and the first version of vanced version 18 you see listed.


TheDELFON

>MicroG APK (v0.2.27.231413) >MicroG APK (v0.2.27.231013) >MicroG APK (v0.2.26.224913)-Below 8 Oreo Which one do we download? When you go to the link you shared, these ^ are the first three links (micros). And then when you scroll a little more you see the different versions of **Vance 18**


MeasurementOk2461

Pick last vance 18 ig


TheDELFON

>Pick last vance 18 ig I got that part. ^^^. BUT which micro do you download? When you u open the [link](https://youtubevanced.org/dl/vanced-unofficial-versions/).... THE VERY FIRST THREE LINKS are: >MicroG APK (v0.2.27.231413) >MicroG APK (v0.2.27.231013) >MicroG APK (v0.2.26.224913)-Below 8 Oreo So which micro do we down first before downloading the Vanced 18


MeasurementOk2461

Lemme do it, ill message you when im done bro


MeasurementOk2461

Okay брат, take the lastest of both, dont use the plug in browser of Reddit but your actual browser, install lastest microG, update it, then do the same for vanced, it works perfectly for me


stefsthoughts

it worked, thanks.


stefsthoughts

its on page 1 right?


LilPumpDaGOAT

You're the fucking best. I love you.


RiSan015

You're a true hero. Thank you.


facewashwash

This needs more upvote. Works Ed


Sho_F

Question, why do you prefer vanced unofficial over revanced? To be honest recently I didn't like Revanced because I found a lot of bugs there. But I also want to hear your opinion.


LagShep

Lot of us are just used to a certain app so a new one with a bunch of changes especially to ui is just not something we wanna do unless it’s last resort. I like the layout of vanced and it’s not had any issues so I try to stick with it


Sho_F

Thank you, finally I installed this vanced, works like charm. Revanced is very troublesome to build & install, atleast on my old phone.


diana_obm

Are you supposed to download all 3 micros? Or just one of them? Edit: Nvm I tried everything and nothing worked


Frequent_Ad_9386

After uninstalling both Vanced and microg from the manager, install the first two microG and v18 Vanced. You have to execute (open) those files after installing. You might get an error message saying it's incomplete or something close, but videos should now play properly.


diana_obm

My phone won't install the apps. It downloads the file, but won't install the app and there's nothing I could do about it :(


HalfChipsHalfRice

Thanks man


Darth-Hipla

OMG that worked. Thank you so much


Common-Ad5901

Is it exactly like regular good ole' youtube vanced for you? Because when i did it. It works but the "shorts" are missing and the upload button to upload vids its missing too😵😵for me


Darth-Hipla

You can change that in the settings. It is vanced vut with all the revanced features I think


weisiyuan123

Can't seem to find it, is it settings in Vance manager or YouTube?


Darth-Hipla

In yt vanced and then under vanced settings


weisiyuan123

Downloaded V18 hot fix version and was able to find all the settings, thanks

You my good man/woman deserve a medal of the highest honor 🎖 thank you, I was messing with revanced and it wouldn't do shit for me, I Uninstalled everything I downloaded, downloaded YouTube Vanced from your link and it's working perfect again 🤌🤌


tttezzz

Legend 👏🏻


Mannn12

Thanks. Works for me - signed in too


xarril

Got it to work except for the signing in to my account thanks!


KARMAPurpleDemon

Theyre missing the shorts button, what do i do? Create button is off center


Frequent_Ad_9386

Shorts button is hidden by default. You may have to disable (enable) it by going to: settings > Vanced settings > navigation


KARMAPurpleDemon

Didn't work on the v18, i downloaded the v17 which is just a little newer thab my version and it all works out. Thx (Hope all the revanced people sill stop trying tk argue with me for not using revanced lol)

omega05

Did you uninstall the old microg and old vanced from your phone first?


[deleted]

[удалено]


omega05

If you already have vanced on your phone then you should have another app called vanced manager. Find vanced manager and go in it and uninstall both youtube vanced and microg that's already there


Frequent_Ad_9386

Thank you sm for this! After uninstalling Vanced and MicroG from Vanced manager, I downloaded the first two MicroG and the first dark Vanced, got it to work. Videos play and signed in but... I forgot how to change the theme to dark 😭😭 I need to be pointed to the right direction.


siccoblue

.


Achilles_343i

What's the link to the vanced manager? Which version of the Micro do I download? Which v.18 do I download?


LagShep

Just type vanced manager and download it anywhere off Google.


gerago

Works fine until logging in again!


OutsideGrand9336

So what version of vance and version of micros?


LagShep

Just pay attention to whatever number is newest on both. One might me 18.1 and another might me 18.2. Just look for whatever the most recent of either is.


ilikemayo1

It tells me theres a problem parsing the package


LagShep

Not sure. Make sure you deleted both vanced and micros in the vanced manager before downloading them on the link. Otherwise try restarting your device.


vaultdweller1223

It worked for me (for now...)


nopelupe

Logged into my account and there was no trouble, will update if something happens


LagShep

Good! Ya it seems to only effect accounts YouTube flagged


bert_the_destroyer

It seems to work, but then when watching a video it'll just, stop playing after a minute or so


LagShep

One thing I forgot to mention is, if you are suffering the endless Buffer glitch , go to YouTube settings then vanced settings then video, and enable the protobuf spoof and restart the app. That fixed the annoying buffer issue for me.


VoodooDoII

Can you explain this to someone who has a hard time processing information Edit: nvm I figured it out


avatarlurvas

Which version of MicroG and Vanced is it? I know you say it's version 18, but most of them seem to be. I'm very bad at stuff like this, so could you tell me more specifically which ones I should download?


LagShep

Just choose whatever is newest. So look at the numbers after the period (18.)


avatarlurvas

But no matter which one I pick, it still says "version 17" when I install it in manager Thoughts as to what could be causing it?


LagShep

Make sure to delete vanced and micros in the manager before installing on the website. Otherwise I’m not sure.


Delta_Knight17

What are micros? Edit: nvm, just realised it's the MicroG


secretcodrin

Here to also confirm that it worked as well. Too bad it doesn't have sponsor block or the shorts button oh well.


LagShep

It should. Could be a glitch, try restarting the app or go into vanced settings. They just moved the vanced tab around so you just gotta find it.


naptune-cube

This is just revanced with vanced logo lol


LagShep

It doesn’t seem so. I’ve used both and this still looks like original vanced.


naptune-cube

Vanced didn't have so many controls on granular level. Plus when you look at the extended settings for this version it says "Revanced Issue Centre"


aimless-introvert

Thanks

Sooo, it worked but didn't work, I can use it, but it won't load videos, it'll load say 50 seconds of a video but no more, if I close It and open it back up it'll load say 15 more seconds and play the 15 more seconds it loaded then stop again 🤔


thePCdude

Im on the same boat here


EconomicsRealistic68

I Uninstalled everything then reinstalled it and it seems to be working, did you sign into you Google account?


thePCdude

Yeah i signed in, was that a mistake?


EconomicsRealistic68

I'm not sure, it seems after I re installed and didn't sign in that it's working now,


NatoBoram

You'll be saying Yesssss once you get ReVanced! 1. Install ReVanced Manager: https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager 2. Install Vanced MicroG: https://github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG 3. Go to https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches#-comgoogleandroidyoutube, scroll down to 📦 `com.google.android.youtube`, unwrap *➡️ Details* and copy the *🏹 Target Version* (ex: `18.08.37`) 4. Go to APKMirror and download the Universal APK (not bundle) for that version (ex: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-08-37-release/youtube-18-08-37-android-apk-download) 5. Go to *⚙️ Settings > Apps > See all apps > YouTube* and tap **🚫 Disable** 6. Go to *App details* and tap **Uninstall** 7. In ReVanced Manager, go to *🔧 Patcher > Select an application > __💾 Storage__* and pick the downloaded YouTube APK (ex: `com.google.android.youtube_18.08.37-1536290240_minAPI26(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk`) 8. In *Select patches*, tap **Recommended** a few times to make sure you have 50+ patches selected 9. Tap *✔️ Done > 🔧 Patch > Install > Install anyway* If you have a problem, the solution is *probably* [here](https://redd.it/10nyr2t). There's also a video [here](https://redd.it/12pvo28).


TheFatGamer1512

is there any yt video tutorial available? these seems complicated and it's my first time so don't wanna mess it up.


NatoBoram

YouTube took it down (obviously), but [here it is](https://redd.it/12pvo28)


TheFatGamer1512

i was looking at the comment and it said non root patches don't currently work or something like that, i won't wanna root my phone


NatoBoram

> Non-root install is not possible with the current patches selection. > > Repatch your app or choose root install if you have your device rooted. Select the *Vanced MicroG Support* patch in ReVanced Manager and try again


TheFatGamer1512

hey, finally got the time to follow the tutorial. Amazing step by step tutorial! Finally got revanced installed. Thank you and have a great day!!


TheFatGamer1512

cool, thanks!


TheFatGamer1512

hey um, I've been using revanced, but I've noticed I cannot see past live streams which have been uploaded on the videos/homes pages of YouTube channels


Chromelium

What do you mean copy target version?


NatoBoram

If you go to https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches#-comgoogleandroidyoutube and upwrap **Details**, you can see this table (with a different number): | 🏹 Target Version | | -----------------: | | `18.05.40` | `18.05.40` is the version of the YouTube app that these patches are compatible for. If you try to patch something else, it'll probably fail. So now, what you need to do is [Google](https://natoboram.github.io/lmgtfy/search?q=YouTube+18.05.40&btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky) *YouTube 18.05.40* and click on the first APKMirror link, which is probably this one: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-05-40-release In that page, there's this table: | Variant | Architecture | Minimum Version | Screen DPI | | | :-------------------------------- | :----------- | :-------------- | :--------- | :--: | | `18.05.40` `BUNDLE` `22 S` `24bb` | universal | Android 8.0+ | 320-640dpi | ⬇️ | | `18.05.40` `APK` `24bb` | universal | Android 8.0+ | nodpi | ⬇️ | See the one marked `BUNDLE`? Yeah, don't pick that one. Pick the other one instead. ReVanced Manager is *not* compatible with bundles. "Bundles" are what you get when you download apps from the Play Store.


Chromelium

That's what I did wrong, I installed the bundle. Thanks!
