Not the official website. Please be warned.

This is the official revanced website: https://revanced.app/

And their github: https://github.com/revanced

It looks like the OP's link has been updated.

[-] Xylia@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta love federation issues. Still seeing the original version over on the instance I use.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

Which link does it point to?

[-] Xylia@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

“ReVanced dot net” which is not the official page and has a nonzero chance of being malicious.

Question: I tried about a month ago to get this going and it seemed like it wouldn't work for YouTube unless my phone was rooted. Am I missing something?

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I had to download the APK from apkmirror, and build it from local storage. Worked perfectly fine after that.

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

you probably get more features with root, but i've been running it rootless since vanced

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah Vanced worked for me rootless. I'll try again and see what happens.

[-] Ascend-910@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

have you turned on micro-g while building?

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I've figured it out now. I explain here where I went wrong.

*vanced microg services, fdroid has it

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have F-Droid, but don't see vanced microg. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=microg

Edit: I added the repository and it says the microg stuff is already installed: https://microg.org/download.html
Edit2: as @scottmeme@sh.itjust.works said here, I had to download the YouTube apk.
Edit3: I can patch the downloaded apk, but still working on installing it.
Edit4: Getting the error "App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package."
Edit5: I think I'm going to have to get ADB going on my computer in order to uninstall the original YouTube from my phone.

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

You have to enable the patch to give revanced a different name

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 1 year ago

So far I've been able to patch a downloaded .apk, but I can't install the patched .apk. Are you saying I should be renaming something?

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's in the manager, "custom branding" i think it is. It's one of the patches.

Alternately if you can uninstall actual YouTube that solves it too.

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, thanks for the additional guidance. I don't see anything like that, so I remain stuck haha.

Aha. I figured out I was trying to patch a too-new version. The option you're taking about is default, but there's another MicroG option that wasn't automatically selected. Thanks for the help, I wouldn't have known where to look otherwise.

[-] wolfshadowheart@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I was tired of using MicroG services so I switched to LibreTube
