Q&A (Questions & Answers) - EN

Q1. What is this project?

A1. "Vanced Extended" - an unofficial continuation of the YouTube Vanced project development.

The official YouTube Vanced project has been discontinued. There are several follow-up projects that use the source of the YouTube Vanced project. Among them, "YouTube ReVanced" is well-known to the public.

"Vanced Extended" is also one of the follow-up projects, focusing on putting the features of the original YouTube Vanced and it's own features into the latest version of official YouTube app.

Also, this project is not done as a team, but only by myself.
Therefore, the update cycle of this project is not constant (the update cycle may be fast or it may be delayed).
Also, it may be discontinued at any time due to my personal circumstances.


Q2. I changed "Enable RYD (ALPHA)" to ON in "Return YouTube Dislike settings". Why is RYD not working though?

A2. You will see the Return YouTube Dislike dialog that appears when you first install the app.
You may have seen the phrase "WARNING: CURRENTLY IN ALPHA. If the YouTube API changes, dislikes button may not appear".
With that said, since YouTube v17.09.xx, the YouTube API has changed.
Therefore, in the latest version of YouTube Vanced@inotia00, simply enabling "Enable RYD (ALPHA)" does not display the number of Dislikes.
(More precisely, it is associated with the change of the button container to Litho)

If you change "Settings > Vanced settings > Layout settings > Old Layout (Not Recommend)" to ON, YouTube Vanced@inotia00 app will go back to v17.08.35 version, and RYD will work normally.

There is currently no way to make RYD work other than this method, and that's why KNOWN ISSUE says "RYD does not work".


Q3. Is it possible to run YouTube Vanced@inotia00 without installing MicroG in the NON-ROOT version?

A3. From YouTube v17.26.xx and later, the app has been changed to run only after receiving a specific token from MicroG. Since this is a YouTube source change, MicroG is required to run the app in YouTube Vanced@inotia00 v17.26.xx and later.
If you want to run the NON-ROOT version of YouTube Vanced@inotia00 without installing MicroG, please install YouTube Vanced@inotia00 v17.25.34.


Q4. Some YouTube Vanced@inotia00 settings are not applied properly (example: There is no download button inside the player).

A4. If you are installing YouTube Vanced@inotia00 for the first time, there is a problem that preset settings are not applied.
Change "Settings > Vanced settings > Layout settings > Shorts button" to ON, refresh and restart. All settings will work normally.


Q5. An error occurs when downloading and installing YouTube Vanced@inotia00 from Vanced Manager.

A5. Try uninstalling Vanced Manager and reinstalling it.


Q6. Is it possible to update from official YouTube Vanced v17.03.38 to YouTube Vanced@inotia00 v17.2x.xx?

A6. Unfortunately, the official version of YouTube Vanced and the YouTube Vanced@inotia00 are not compatible.
To move from the official version of YouTube Vanced v17.03.38 to YouTube Vanced@inotia00, you must uninstall the previously installed official version of YouTube Vanced and install YouTube Vanced@inotia00.

This applies to YouTube Vanced@inotia00 as well as YouTube Music Vanced and Vanced Manager.
