cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠agohave you tried revanced manager? i typically just download revanced manager, pop over to apkmirror and get the recommended version (in this case 19.43.41), downloading the v8 package, going back into revanced manager and clicking storage, selecting the apk, and then letting it run. if you select the custom branding patch you donât have to uninstall the original youtube.

Yep. And if I hadnât, that would be the first advice the documentation would give me lol
Thatâs what I did, but it refused to patch. Tried every possible thing, but it just refused to work.
NewTube, on the other hand, worked perfectly immediately.

You sure you werenât downloading the APK bundle? Revanced canât patch those
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago

Did you make sure to turn on the âGmsCore Supportâ patch. (I think it used to be called âMicroG Supportâ.) You have to enable that patch on unrooted devices in order for the app to work.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Yep, did that.

Did you make sure you have several GBs of free memory on the device while patching? At least until recently, ReVanced Manager would throw an error if it ran out of memory, and it actually needed (if I recall correctly) around 8 GB of free memory in order to finish the patching process or itâd throw one of several errors, depending on where in the process it ran out of memory.
Supposedly theyâve fixed this issue with the latest update to ReVanced Manager, which included a new patching process, but I havenât had a chance to test it.
