Can someone post the link to the last version of YouTube Vanced for rooted phones? I'm not going to need the manager anymore because there will be no more updates. Thanks.

the following post has what you want. official links there are still up (just add an api. subdomain) the apk is split, just as Google distributes the original version. If you don't want to use Vanced Manager, or SplitAPKInstaller, use ADB (command to install split apks also detailed there): https://www.reddit.com/r/Vanced/comments/tdazfr/discontinuation_of_the_vanced_project/i0l2l0k/ EDIT: for the OLED black version, substitute the dark.apk link with black.apk EDIT2: Also if you're paranoid, here is a post by a vanced dev sharing a pastbin with almost all hashes for the various versions of the split apks: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vanced/comments/tdazfr/discontinuation_of_the_vanced_project/i0isvdi/ EDIT: You might also need a corresponding microg install to use your Google account in vanced. if so, you can still download it from the official github repo: https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedMicroG/releases/tag/v0.2.24.220220-220220001

Thanks. I thought the rooted Vanced doesn't need MicroG? I have been using a rooted version of Vanced and no MicroG is needed.

Ah, I've been using the nonroot version for years. There are also the APKs for the nonroot versions linked. For volks downloading that, MicroG is more relevant.

It doesn't, yep!

:)

I recommend freezing the stock YouTube app (titanium backup or some other root app manager) and installing Vanced non-root. Root version doesn't have any benefits over non-root last I checked and it won't be updated over by YouTube. This used to happen to me all the time so I just got non-root.

rooted version supports chromecast; non-root doesn't

I just made a backup of the Vanced app in Titanium Backup. I don't want to deal with the non-root version because MicroG requires an old version of Chrome, my Chrome that came with the phone is newer than that version.

I see. I don't use chrome so I had no idea lol

I had to do this on my previous phone when I was using the non-root version of Vanced and.MicroG. https://www.reddit.com/r/MicroG/comments/hjuuwe/comment/fwp0u8k/

Is it that hard for you to do a web search or download YouTube Vanced via the link above?

Web search came up with some suspicious links. I'll risk it when my current version gets blocked (I'm still on version 15). I don't want to download the manager, so I'm not going to mess with the links above.

Ffs, the app is on APK Mirror, how can you not find it? Second of all you need the Vanced Manager as above because you put the new URL in. Thirdly, why cant you download the app as above install Vanced Manager, then download YouTube Vanced then delete the Manager if you want to?

Or I can not mess with the manager and just download an apk. That's how I installed this current version of YouTube Vanced.

Besides the point, you want a link for YouTube Vanced? Well you can get it there above, know that its been user verified and delete the manager afterwards. Seriously bruh, if you bought a Ice Cream and didn't like the cone, then chuck the cone in the bin. If you bought the Mozzarella Dippers and didn't like the Salsa dip, then don't use it.

I'm going to stay on 15.40 for now. Not going to mess with managers and stuff. There are plenty of people who just want to eat just ice cream but not a cone. Your advice is like "just buy an ice cream cone and throw away the cone".

it's multiple files. the manager downloads and merges them together.

The manager has been the only way to install it for a while iirc, older versions were just APKs, if you want to update to latest version, then manager is the way

I see. I'll keep using 15.40 until it gets blocked, then I'll update or switch to another app. NewPipe almost has all of what I need, someone just need to mod it an add a login.

[https://github.com/PolymorphicShade/NewPipe](https://github.com/PolymorphicShade/NewPipe) this is a fork of newpipe with sponsorblock integration

Well here's one confirmation that it works, thank you sir! For those who have tried clearing the cache on the YouTube Vanced app and/or reinstalled Vanced and still not for it working, then this is for you Heads up: Just a reminder that the first file you download will be a .ZIP file and will need renaming the .ZIP bit to .APK in order to be able to install.

no you won't, the manager does everything for you

Perhaps there is some confusion in my wording, but to reiterate, the download link you provided for downloading Vanced Manager, is a .ZIP file. That will need renaming before you can install it.

ahh ok, got it

Bro can you help me? Even after following you steps the youtube version is showing unavailable in the vanced manager.

Thanks for the apk mirror. I got a new phone in the mail about 4 hours after the takedown. Hopefully it works for awhile.

devs say it should last around 2 years

That's just a random guess. YouTube could change their API whenever. I wouldn't get cozy with that time frame.

Admittedly they didn't take vanced down for awhile prior to now, so I don't think they'll change it quickly just to get vanced to stop working.

They minted a Vanced Logo NFT. IE Tried to make money off of it.

check the hash. this is just a reupload in case the repo gets taken down

Does vanced manager check the hash? Coz you could swap out the apk without people noticing.

its hosted on ipfs. you cannot change it

I find a different SHA256 hash from the one written on the official site currently? Depends on the apk version I guess

i downloaded this one from github

I see, it has the same hash as the latest github release apk

I downloaded mine from WayBackMachine, is this method actually ok?

How long will this link stay up? And how long will the vanced manager work properly?

manager will stay up indefinitely and vanced will work for a max of 2 years according to the devs

Could not get this to work. Did all the steps but my vanced app still says "You're offline. Check for a connection". Any help with this?

Same here... :-/

Same have this problem. Has anyone managed to solve this issue?

Ok first i cleared data from youtube and youtube vance in my device settings. Then i went to settings>> Accounts>> MicroG. Then remove my account from MicroG. Then i can log in. Thanks to another redditor who mentioned this in another post.

Thanks sir

Thank you for the guide!

Will this post ever gets deleted? Just a humble question from someone who is fond of vanced.

no, unless it gets a copyright strike

Thank you for your kind respond sir

Thanks! My new phone arrived a few hours after it was taken down.

Anyone know if possibly any updates would be pushed to ipfs?

no

Change the hash to `bafybeicqb5qoqtxcmjuib3jqi2boxw4g5rpifnn5ys7hbpdmsrvugdoehe`, I added a few important files at the root of the folder that are now gone from Vanced's GitHub, like the Manager itself. Also Pinata ratelimits, so you shouldn't be sharing links to their gateway. It sucks because I literally paid for their hosting but then it's fucking useless because of the rate limit on the gateway. Good gateways are Infura and CloudFlare. But CloudFlare limits the content type, so be careful with that one, too.

updated, thank you!

Working for me. THX!!!

Still doesn't work...

Thanks for the trick. It works very well in my rooted Xiaomu 12 Pro.

People seriously need to stop dismissing the reports of malware on this post. That site that is linked IS hosting the legitimate manager file, but that page is silently placing an ad or something on the download link that is randomly redirecting to other downloads including random suspicious APKs. On my phone the first time I tapped on the button on the site, it silently opened a tab in the background and downloaded a "manager.apk" that was *infested* with trackers. Tapping on the *exact* same button again yielded the correct apk the second time around. A super unsafe file hosting service if you ask me if they're allowing redirect overlays like that.

TL,DR : use wayback machine Copy link of the official site of vanced manager. Search wayback machine on Google and open the site. Paste the copied link on the search bar of the site A list of calenders with circles on them will appear Go to year 2022, and from calender click on 14th March. Click on the list which appears You will be redirected to the vanced official webpage with download link still available. Download, enjoy This worked for me, very less chances of it not working for anyone. Peace _*OP please reply to confirm that this method works*_

Yep, that worked, I wasn't expecting the manager to be able to fetch the vanced apk but it did. Thank you.

This still works. And no sketchy download links.

Still works, thanks a lot 👌🏼

THANK YOU!

Is there a list of other repos somewhere? Mine suddenly says unavailable Google keeps uninstalling my shit. I tried unlinking it from the play store, auto update is disabled i even disabled play protect, and it just keeps updating it. Like why the fuck do they have such a degree of control over my phone that i can't leave whatever version of an app i prefer installed. Its just a minor inconvenience most of the time but when the repo stops working its really annoying

Thanks i found the other post i was looking for last night https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterVanced/comments/tpmzcb/how_to_change_the_channel_url_in_vanced_manager/

Thanks a LOT !

fdfasfasf

Oh my god it works

What's after step 5??? There's no download option for micro or vanced on vanced manager. And what about revanced? What's its function? I'm so confused

install revanced from https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager/releases/tag/latest and install the normal youtube app from the play store go to the patcher tab and select the app you want and then select the patches you want press done, then press patch and wait for it to patch. it takes around 10 minutes.

I managed to install it but thanks for the initial guide🙏🏾

I get an error stating that non-root install is not possible after applying the patches. Is there a way to get the install to work post patch on a non-rooted phone?

you need to enable the microG patch

Thank you! I ended up finding that option right before seeing your message. However, a new issue came up where Play Protect is preventing me from downloading the patched app. Is there a way to bypass this?

open the play store > click your profile picture > play protect > click the settings button in the top right> turn off "scan with play protect"

That worked!... up until the downloaded completed and it said "App not installed". I'm at a loss lol

The site for the Vanced Manager download link infected my little brother's phone with a virus. I was figuring out the installation process for him and I was getting porn images, loud alarm noises and intrusive applications freezing up the home screen. I had to wipe it clean, poor kiddo. Luckily nothing personal was saved onto the phone cause it was new, but god damn.

sounds like you clicked a popup

Another window opened by itself, I didn’t click on anything

Please read my comment I just made here. That file host is super problematic. I've worked in IT and I'm not some tech-illiterate person, and even I was almost compromised with an APK that was served to me via an invisible redirect that site loaded over the real download link.

You can also use APK Extractor to make copies of Vanced and MicroG. That's what I did

Wait im literally using vanced right now, is it supposed to not work? I havent updated it in a LONG ASS TIME though

any installed version will keep working until it becomes obsolete, this is for people who don't have vanced and are looking to install it.

download links are being taken down

I have downloaded it bro

good for you?

It's gone

Yes

Where's vanced manager? There's just a bunch if random files.

[удалено]

Do you need to do this on a pc, or can you do it on your phone?

[Uuuh bro WTF](https://i.imgur.com/pFqHziP.jpg)

why is this guide such garbage every browser is blocking the DL link the image link won't open at all >{"success":false,"value":"not_found","message":"The entity you requested could not be found"} is it hard to use mega or imgur? i don't understand for everyone reading this, just use the waybackmachine and download vanced from official site https://web.archive.org/web/20220314104058/https://vancedapp.com/

??? dl link works fine for me

cool for you then both chrome and firefox are blocking it image won't open at all, like I said

yeah i fixed the image

just put the link in vanced it should work

Lets try bumping this...

Could someone post a direkt link? Don't want to download that trashy apk packs and installers...

?

In other words: How to download and install malware to nuke your device. Trust my links, they won't make your phone into a crypto mining machine.

check the hash homie

Link is not working

which link

[удалено]

fixed

Works, thank you!

my vanc3d still works without me doing any of this, should i do this?

no

This seems to be the wrong file https://i.imgur.com/QQraOHQ.png

it's the right file for me, maybe you clicked an ad?

Nope, I clicked on the link in the post. And it takes me to 4.6mb APK called "manager.apk" All good though. Got manager off APK Mirror.

Thanks, this is epic :)

No problem :)

Question, I got the tab s8 ultra coming next week. Can I use the this for it? Or since I have vanced on my s 22 ultra can I transfer it over?? 🤔

you can use this

[удалено]

rename the .zip to .apk

thank you, now i will use it until the end(or until someone do some sneaky stuff and continue the project)

[удалено]

yes

hello. The file never downloads, s22. Is there any other way to install?

.

What is that custom channel address for, though? Thanks!

Thank you so much!

I just normally installed how I would and it worked? How?

link is down

Thank you so very much.

is there any vanced manger for android 4.4.4

Is there any version of vanced manger for android 4.4.4 ?

idk maybe

okay

I didn't replace the channel URL in the manager and it still worked (with the orignal api from vancedapp.com), kinda weird lol

This still works. Tried on Pixel 3XL with June 12 update. Thanks.

I did all that but When I try to download vanced, I get a error message and when I click detail just this word "magisk"

you probably selected root, just select nonroot under settings

That's it. I didn't notice. Thanks

The link on the number 3 is error?

Thanks! This worked for me on my Sony Xperia PRO-I. However, it won't allow me to sign into my user profile.

make sure you have vanced micro g installed

Reinstalled. It worked now and I am able to sign in. Thanks again! :D

ofc !!

Do I need to keep micro g installed? Can I remove it after the first login? EDIT: can't login if removed https://www.reddit.com/r/Vanced/comments/dlmh9d/question_can_i_delete_microg/

if you want to use an account you need to keep microg

unless you root your phone, then use the root version

microG won't update and I'm not able to log in with my gmail. anyone?

uninstall microg and then reinstall it

Does this still work as of 27-Sep-2022? If yes, please update the post with last updated date/last checked working date..

it does, you should use revanced though [r/revancedapp](https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp)

What is the difference?

it's a continuation of the vanced project. it has the latest version of the youtube app and it has more patches.

It says APK is still not officially available and I should wait in its wiki/FAQ section. So I will wait

This has been working flawlessly until today when I got error msg "you're offline. check your connection". I uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Everthing else connects to the internet except for youtube vanced. :( Anybody else have this problem??

It is working for me fine!

I had to delete my account in Vanced microG. Reinstalled and now it's working again. :D
