My revanced has been out of date and non functional for a while, do you happen to recall how to update it? For some reason I'm struggling to remember the install process.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Huh. My solution (for years now) has been to kill the YouTube ap entirely and watch videos on Firefox with uBlock Origin.

I may have to see if Revanced is a better experience.

[–] AzureRT@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

Used to do that but recently switched over to ReVanced because Firefox pip would just show the corner of the webpage sometimes, or when I go to fullscreen the app would close, so I'd have to go back on Firefox again and fullscreen twice because the first time I fullscreen it doesn't auto-rotate

Personally I use revanced extended from GitHub. It's got additional options and they release an APK, so I just download and install

[–] notasandwich1948@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

get a newer YouTube apk, install and then patch. the same way you install it in the first place. you reminded me that I need to do the same

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If you don't want to deal with that, NewPipe is pretty good. I've been using it for a bit and love it.

Can be found on f-droid or from their website

If your rooted you can use magisk and just hunt down the revanced magisk zip.

Alternatively I use Newpipe and testing Grayjay.

grayjay.app

BTW if you can only find the magisk apk rename the apk to .zip and you can fastboot flash to boot.
