BIGGEST UPDATE!

We finally caught up with the latest RVX!

Until now, this project was based on RVX v2.160.1 (released in February 2023).
But after this update, this project is based on the latest version of RVX.
This is like applying the latest RVX Patches to YouTube 17.34.36.

This is the biggest update ever for YT ReVanced Android 6-7!
All users are recommended to update. (Repatch apk)

• A ton of new features have been added.

• Default video speed settings has been fixed. (This problem had existed since the first version of this fork...)
• Many other bugs have also been fixed.

Known issue

• "Disable engagement panel" (in fullscreen settings) also hides quick actions container.
• (ADDED Jan 18) Casting to TV crashes the app

Announcement

• Clean install is recommended
• Even if you update without a clean install, most of ReVanced settings will be lost.
  • Because most of preference keys are changed between RVX v2.160.1 (Feb 2023) and v5.2.1 (Jan 2025)
  • The exception is SponsorBlock user id. This will be migrated even if you updated without a clean install.

  • This patch shows a warning if the device is Android 8.0+
• Update translations

Announcement

Starting around May 3rd, a new buffering problem began to occur for some users.
This issue has been fixed with spoof-client patch.
But the setting is not turned on by default.

If you are facing video playback problem, open [Settings > ReVanced settings > Miscellaneous > Spoof client] and turn on [Spoof client] manually.

"Spoof client" option is a workaround, and it contains side effects.
If you are not a target user of the endless loading problem, you don't have to turn on this.

Additional updates may be released in the future to fix side effects.

Sidenote

However, there are two buffering issues.

• Old buffering issue: Video stops at 30-40 seconds and never starts again
• New buffering issue: Video stops at 0-10 seconds, but sometimes video starts again after 1-3 minutes (but the video quality is restricted to 360p and 720p)

"Spoof client" patch fixes the latter.
If you have the former problem, you don't need to turn on "Spoof client".
To fix the old buffering issue, just force stop GmsCore. (Make sure you are using the latest patch version)

v2.160.9

• feat(microg-support): Switch to ReVanced GmsCore to fix playback issues
• Remove spoof-player-parameters because this patch is not needed anymore

Note: From this version, you have to use GmsCore

To fix the recent playback problem "The following content is not available on this app." (#64), the official ReVanced Team released the new MicroG called "GmsCore".
From this patch version, old Vanced MicroG is not supported and you need the new ReVanced GmsCore.

Please download and install ReVanced GmsCore before patch ReVanced.

GmsCore downloads

• ReVanced/GmsCore (Official, Default, Recommended)
• YT-Advanced/GmsCore (More optimized, but this GmsCore crashes on ARMv7 devices. NOT recommended.)
• WSTxda/MicroG-RE (Under developing now)

Then, uninstall the old Vanced MicroG manually.
(Vanced MicroG isn't shown in app drawer by default. Uninstall from Settings > Apps.)

It has a different package name.
• Vanced MicroG: com.mgoogle.android.gms
• ReVanced GmsCore: app.revanced.android.gms
Therefore, you have to uninstall Vanced MicroG manually.

Benefits of GmsCore

No need to use Spoof player parameters anymore, which means now we won't face any side effects like buffering at 1:10, autoplay in feed stops, no seekbar thumbnails, watch history disappear, etc.
I appriciate to ReVanced lead developer oSumAtrIX and NewPipe develop member AudricV for they fixed MicroG issue!
(From the beginning, playback issues like buffering was a MicroG issue. Spoof player parameter was just a workaround of this.)
