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
┤Mod Edit├┤Closing note. YouTube Vanced lives on in ReVanced (not affiliated with Vanced)├ ‼️Before asking or posting anything, please read the first and second posts.‼️ Always check the official Vanced website or XDA thread when downloading...

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

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.
Hi,
I'm using a Pixel 3 XL on a Magisk rooted Android 10 system.
I am trying to get YouTube Vanced to open without getting the "app keeps closing" error.
I believe it is because I don't have microG installed and am having a hard time with search looking for a way to download it on my system.
I've tried using search but the results just leave me confused, could someone please clarify this for me?
EDIT: Do I need to have TWRP to install microg? Because TWRP obviously isn't available for Android 10 yet...

First off YouTube vanced works without microG
MicroG is only needed to login to google in the vanced app.
I'm also pretty sure you don't have to be rooted or have TWRP to install it.

There's different versions of yt. vanced make sure you have the one that compatible with your GPU
Sent from my MI 9 Lite using Tapatalk
Ok so how do I install it and where can I find the downloads for the available versions of GPUs?
When I try to install it from the Chrome downloads folder it just says "Can't open file".
When I try to use SAI, it installs but doesn't make an icon to tap on to open the app. I have done this both with YouTube original installed and uninstalled and get the same results.
EDIT: Correction. Now when I use SAI to try and install the YT Vanced apk I downloaded from vanced.app, I get an error box saying "File doesn't have any certificates".
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
2nd EDIT: When I install the Non-Rooted apk from vanced.app it worked perfectly. DO I really have YouTube Vanced now since I installed the non-rooted apk?
I wanna install youtube vanced in my rooted device. But it keeps failing because the non-SAI version of youtube vanced is a lower version than the stock youtube app. Is there a way I can uninstall the youtube app? So that I can install the vanced version?
Have you tried disabling miui optimizations in dev options?

I did try it. I'm using system app safe remover [root] from playstore. My Miui optimization is currently off. It still says 1 failed uninstall.
Trying disabling YouTube? I used hidden miui settings app and from there I could disable YouTube.

I tried that too. But I still can't install the vanced youtube app. Because even if its disabled, its still a system app and cant be installed over
So update: I tried with a multitude of apps including SD maid and titanium backup and it still failed. In some apps it said "the apk cannot be located" ?? So I enabled the app and installed updates and tried again but still kept saying the apk cannot be found.
So I tried adb. I tried the "pm uninstall –k —user 0 package:com.google.android.youtube" and it said "Failure not installed for user". What?? So what am I supposed to do now?

My dude! that worked like a charm! Thanks my man :highfive:
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.
In Android 13, YouTube got moved to a System app.
When attempting to install a root version of Vanced YT, it produces error and fails.
This happens despite uninstalling it through a system app manager.
Solution is:
1. Install Magisk Module mModule_rsyt and reboot. The module moves YouTube from System to User partition.
2. Uninstall YouTube app manually
3. Install Vanced YT through Vanced Manager
Hope it helps
thanks man. it works
