Hi,
Since the Nougat version doesn't have xposed yet. I was not able to use the YouTube background play module, however, I stumble upon this thread and was able to download the moded YouTube app.
The link for the app
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120733599
Steps
1. Download the app.
2. Rename it to YouTube
3. Replace it in /system/app/YouTube folder
4. Restart the device.
There's a catch however on our 6X.
You play the video, then press recent key and then home key. If you directly press the home key the video won't play in background.

You can also listen to YouTube audio in the background with Firefox if you are so inclined.

Doesn't work for me in Firefox

When you are browsing YouTube, you have to check 'Request Desktop site' in Firefox for background play to work. At least for me it does. I'm using the latest Firefox, and EMUI 5 no root.
Alternatively, if you have magisk installed then you can use the youtube background playback module which is developed by @Master_T and the module can be found Here
Thank you OP , i have been worrying about this issue since longer

Hi guys.I am running task and phantoms extreme stock rom which is pretty much just normal honeycomb 3.1 without touchwiz. The YouTube app that came with it is v3.1.1.
Its causing me a couple of problems. Firstly, not all videos which appear on YouTube using the browser appear on the app. Example I can watch the official video of a song called black and yellow on the browser but can't find it on the app. Secondly 90% of the videos start with ads. Once the ad finishes,all I get is a button to replay the ad and the actual video does not start. I have turned off safefilter under settings but that didn't help either. What am i doing wrong? Thanks

You might need to delete and reinstall your youtube app.
Hi,
I have been a silent reader/observer of xda forums for a long time now and I thank everyone of the awesome developers out there for giving such good ROMs.
I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time but I was delaying it hoping I can get an answer for it myself. But today after spending close to 5 hrs on this with no answer I decided to ask it here.
I'm a music fan and I'd like to listen to it on my phone as well. I have an HTC One XL with the latest Viper ROM.
I have tried the following options.
1. Downloaded numerous apps (PVStar, NextVid and the likes). Some worked but not to my satisfaction. They're either very laggy or buggy or have unattractive UI to use.
2. Visited sites like youtify.com and tried on various browsers. (Chrome, firefox, UC, Dolphin, Opera etc.) hoping it won't stop playing audio when switched to another app or screen locked. On chrome and all the others it just stops playing audio when you switch to another app. On firefox it works but when screen is locked, audio becomes choppy (app's priority gets lower I think slowly). I tried to search for apps which can keep an app's priority higher but in no vain.
3. I also tried to find alternatives to Youtube like grooveshark app but it just keeps crashing whenever other apps are launched. I also tried Radio apps like TuneIn radio or pandora but you can't search for specific songs there.
P.S: Also some YouTube videos are specifically blocked by Google itself to not stream it to other apps/sites I think. How can we avoid this?
So, basically my problem is I need to be able to search and stream Youtube videos (Preferably have my own saved playlists) on my android phone while the screen is locked or in background while accessing other apps. (I know google is trying to bring 'play in background' feature to YouTube app itself but we can't create playlists there if I'm not wrong). Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for a lot for the links. Tried both but the first one (Viral) is not so stable. It crashes often and a pain to use. However the second option (Modded youtube APK) seems to be the best option. I can have my own playlists saved in my youtube account and play them using this modded youtube app. The music will continue to play even when screen is locked but the app must be in the foreground. The moment you switch to another app or press home button or even pressing "back" within youtube, it stops.
It's a solution I can live with for now, but I would love to have something which can run even when in background. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
[BUMP] Any youtube modded APK?
Trying to bump up this as I wasn't able to find a modded youtube APK which can continue to run in background (i.e. even after pressing home button and accessing other apps). Right now the modded APK only allows screen to be locked but the app should remain in foreground.
And the youtube APK also doesn't play all files in playlist. It plays just one file that we select and stops after that even though there are other items in the playlist.
Play youtube vids while screen is off ""NoRoot""No3rdPartyApps""
Hi,
So I Discovered a way to play YouTube videos without the need of being in the youtube app, You can even play when The screen is off
# This method does not require youtube red
# No root is needed
It's actually pretty simple all you need is headphones or earphones with a pause/play Physical button.
1) Plug in the headphones
2) Play any youtube video from the youtube app.
3) Press your home button or switch off your screen, But don't remove youtube from memory.
4) Now all you need to do is click the Physical play button in your headphones.
Idk if it does work on other devices. But it worked on mine
LG G5 (H850) running nougat
Lol that actually worked. It's probably a bug, but i'll take it while it lasts.
the other way, is to use firefox instead of the youtube app.. you can keep it playing in the backgroud or with screen off
Or use OGyoutube. There is a NoRoot version and it enables background play, download and screen off play. I'm using it right now.

Yup, OGyoutube ftw!
Works on Bluetooth in my car as well.
Anyone have a link to a clean ogYouTube apk? The one I found is telling me to add an install of something else, microG; Avast didn't flag it, but better safe than sorry.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. The microG APK is required to run OGyoutube.
Got it, thanks! I looked it up, it was legitimate, so I went ahead with the install.
It's an older post but you can also go to the youtube home page, request desktop site, start a video, turn off the screen, turn on the lockscreen and press play.
That was my method until today. Now I use just the play button on the head phones.
thanks.
No Pause Lock
try No Pause Lock for youtube with lock screen nopauselock eu
Or you guys could just get Ogyoutube. That's what I use to play videos in the background
Y Music is also awesome. Doesn;t play the videos, just music. No ads, and background play.
You can also download.
Whenever I launch youtube and play a video, the audio glitches out and the video skips to 27 hours.

Works fine here. Model (3rd/4th gen), size (7/9 inch), ROM and other basic details are needed if you want further help.
It's a 3rd gen 7 inch tablet from 2013 I think

If still running FireOS v4 (7j years old) then YouTube app will likely fail. Sideload a standalone browser such as Opera and enjoy YouTube that way.

I am running v4.5.5.3 And by likely, you mean that it would Probrably not work on it?

FireOS v4.5 is a highly skinned Android 4.4 variant that is 5+ years old and does not natively support Google core apps. Nor is it easy to load Google Play Services which the YouTube app leverages. So yea, it will *probably* fail.
I've seen other people here have been able to get it working along with the THOUSANDS of youtube videos on the topic. These videos don't go in depth on say running a video and just show them installing the app. Are those other people running v5.1 or something?

Well, given there are "THOUSANDS" of instructional videos it should take you no time getting YouTube up and running. I'll just step out of the way a let the experts lead the way ...
Tip: look for videos specifically targeting 3rd gen HDX hardware (screen size doesn't matter) running stock FireOS. It's doable if you don't mind investing hours, dealing with an unstable device and possibly spinning up a 'soft brick' depending on the methodology employed.
Alternatively, root/unlock and install a custom ROM + GAaps
Alternatively, sideload a high quality browser like Opera and play vids there
Alternatively, use a different device running near AOSP such as the Onn 8
Choose your poison wisely. Good luck.
Use browser.
Youtube app sucks since 2018
Older version stopped working after api updates 1 year ago
With silk browser you can choose video quality and get dark mode (the trick to enable its simple, open youtube and switch to desktop version , open configuration menu and enable dark mode,after that switch to mobile version and there is , full darkmode youtube)
If you wanna youtube app, Skytube works fine,you can see your suscriptions videos/ trendings and see comments.
You cannot see live streamings and comment,but its ok for me.
I have tried side-loading Youtube Vanced and NewPipe on my stock HDX 3rd, neither work. Vanced does the weird glitchy playback like you describe, and NewPipe just errors out. As others have said, I imagine it's because of this old Fire OS we're running.
Browser playback works fine. There is an Amazon app store app called 'Video For Youtube' that also works well, it even allows you to sign into your Youtube/Google account. It's free (I'm not the dev.)
Youtube vanced is not updated.. Is there another alternative modded original YouTube that has support for background music listening?
I find only xxxxxxx patch for 14.17.50 version, but my phone not rooted and preinstalled in system version of youtube is 14.25.xx and lower version don't allow to replace newer version. Clone in xxxxxx is not working with youtube apk..After cloneed and installed, youtube crashed.

I need YouTube modded app. All other app is not good for me
im on android 8.1 and google chrome has built in "background" video player were youtube continue playing while you access other apps
I am also looking for a vanced alternative because it is somewhat similar to original YT so there is no point in using vanced.
I am finding alternative to YT messaging because it was a dam good feature that i always used to forward videos to my wife but now it's a long process of either sending it to FB messenger or any other thing. I thought since vanced is a YT alternative so it would be having all the YT features but what is the point of having a 3rd party app which is JUST AN AD-BLOCKER for YT and else than that some options which don't mean so much.
I seriously want to know what alternatives you guys use?
