      It looks like the OP’s link has been updated.

        Gotta love federation issues. Still seeing the original version over on the instance I use.

          Which link does it point to?

            “ReVanced dot net” which is not the official page and has a nonzero chance of being malicious.

    Question: I tried about a month ago to get this going and it seemed like it wouldn’t work for YouTube unless my phone was rooted. Am I missing something?

      I had to download the APK from apkmirror, and build it from local storage. Worked perfectly fine after that.

        Yes, I’ve figured it out now. I explain here where I went wrong.

        Yeah Vanced worked for me rootless. I’ll try again and see what happens.

          I have F-Droid, but don’t see vanced microg. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=microg

          Edit: I added the repository and it says the microg stuff is already installed: https://microg.org/download.html
          Edit2: as @scottmeme@sh.itjust.works said here, I had to download the YouTube apk.
          Edit3: I can patch the downloaded apk, but still working on installing it.
          Edit4: Getting the error “App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.”

              So far I’ve been able to patch a downloaded .apk, but I can’t install the patched .apk. Are you saying I should be renaming something?

                It’s in the manager, “custom branding” i think it is. It’s one of the patches.

                Alternately if you can uninstall actual YouTube that solves it too.

                  Ok, thanks for the additional guidance. I don’t see anything like that, so I remain stuck haha.
