I have downloaded the YouTube vanced zip through magisk and tried flashing it through magisk and twrp, both say successful but the app does not show. I have entirely uninstalled the stock YouTube app by removing it as a system app (through debloater) and then uninstalling it. Could someone advice me as to how to install it properly.
Edit: I successfully installed it by following steps from this tread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72775808&postcount=2
I used the second method I believe it's called the "manual method"

I have been trying different method on installing rooted apps bbut anything that would related to system configuration would end up with message of "app is not installed" in installation. Including "Viper4, Youtube Vance, Google Camera".
However I'm able to install viper through magisk module. Just install inside the magisk. And it works. But no luck finding the other two apps.
Any suggestions guys?
Im rooted.
Disabled Google App Protection
I installed YouTube vanced (non root) with microG which works perfectly fine.
Hi, i'm trying to install youtube vanced but can't get it to work. I'm using twrp and my phone is rooted. I also made 100% sure that the youtube app is uninstalled and automated updates are off in play store.
What happens is:
I can install the zip without errors with twrp. But in android there is no app shown and neither in Titanium backup. However i can find a apk called YouTube.apk that has the youtube vanced logo in the folder directory rootdirectory/System/System/App/Youtube
I also did try to install a older version but that didn't help. And i made sure with the app droid info that i'm on arm64-v8a and i'm using the right apk.
I just can't figure out what to do and didn't find anything helpful googling.

If you are using magisk root, just install the module via the magisk manager app

Did swap from SuperSU to Magisk, now youtube vanced works. Thanks.
I am on Root with Magisk and installed Youtube Vanced Root with SAI.
I found the other threads and tried their solutions.
I tried installing and running SDMaid and rebooted and that didn't help.
I tried uninstalling Chrome -> nope.
I tried installing Android System Webview -> nope.
I tried reinstalling Chrome -> nope
I tried uninstalling ASW -> nope.
I tried flashing Youtube from TWRP -> failed.
I tried installing MicroG although shouldn't need it on rooted version; that didn't help either.
I think I've been here before, but I don't know how I solved it last time.
Any ideas?
Edit: Just remembered: Last time I a) uninstalled Youtube Vanced, a) then installed Youtube from Playstore, c) then deactivated Auto Update, d) then uninstalled Youtube Updates from Playstore, e) then installed Vanced ontop and that worked.
It does not work this time because at d) I cannot uninstall any Youtube Updates and at e) I can't install Vanced, because "newer version already installed".
Edit2: I tried a good dozens of old Youtube .apks (and xapks and mapks) but most straight up didn't install (including xapk* and SAI- installer) and all others were either too new or too old or sth. else to work.
Don't have TWRP and/or Magisk installed - and never will do so - but I know you always can completly traceless uninstall any app and their updates, be it a system-app and/or system-privileged-app or user-app.
The miserability is that Youtube Vanced - when it auto-updates - always gets overwritten by Google's Youtube.
I am at a loss. Last time I used youtube vanced I flashed it via magisk. Now I have the manager for vanced installed but you tube vanced will not install. I think it has to do with signature checking but I am not sure. Can anyone help me out?

Nevermind. I uninstalled via titanium. Then tried with vanced manager, it failed. Reinstalled with play store. Then installed with vanced manager. It had a new error. Then tried yet a second time with vanced manager and then it went. Didn't need to do any xposed modules to remove signature checking.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to install YouTube Vanced, I have Stock ROM rooted with Magisk, but I get an error:
"Installation failed because the user tried to downgrade the package. Uninstall updates from the stock app, then try again."
I don't have an option to uninstall updates, so I used Package Manager (from F-Droid) to uninstall YouTube.
I restarted the phone, but I still get the same error.
Did anyone come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks

Built in apps like youtube can uninstall updates by going to their play store page and press uninstall.
Did abit of googling. Have you tried this suggestion since u are rooted with magisk:
[CLOSED][APP][MOD][ROOT/NONROOT] Vanced

Yes I did. Use the magisk module named "debloater" and disable YouTube there.
Then you can install Vanced

I tried the Magisk module, I followed ALL the directions, but it did nothing. (I have no idea what I did wrong)
But I managed to finally remove YouTube with a debloated app from F-Droid (I think it's based on the Magisk debloater module, but I'm not sure...)
I finally was able to install YouTube Vanced!
Thanks
