Comment on Youtube Depends on Ads to work
lichtmetzger@feddit.de 7 months agoIf you’re on a rooted Android, ReVanced is a great option. It patches the YT app to behave like Premium, removes a lot of annoyances and integrates SponsorBlock and the Dislike API.

You don’t at all need to root your phone to run ReVanced. You can easily patch and install without root.

Ah, so that’s probably only needed when you use the rename app feature? Because it complained about microG missing with the default patch selection so I had to use the mount installation method, which requires root.
Good to know!

It’s been a while before I had to reinstall. I think MicroG is installed separately from ReVanced?? Sorry I can’t remember. But yeah you haven’t ever needed root to use it.
