I just install youtube apk then revanced manager apk?
ReVanced can only patch an existing YouTube installation if your device is rooted. If not, you'll have to patch an APK before installing it.

it shows 6 recommended patches. I think the ad one might be "premium heading."

Which any you like.

If your phone is rooted, you don't need MicroG support.

The patches have descriptions. Read them and choose which ones you would like to apply.

it says my version of youtube is v17.46.37, but it shows recommended as v17.45.36
Download an APK for 17.45.36.

it says app not installed as a package appears to be invalid. I can not uninstall youtube either.

I'm just going to go ahead and reinstall what I had. my version is too high obviously, just barely. I've got some instructions or rather order to install everything.

I think I got it. I had to sign in first, now it shows premium.

I have only had an active phone for about 2 weeks and most of that has been sitting on charge but I have put some time in on it at night.
During that I have been enjoying newpipe sponsorblock mod.

Can add channels to a list, search for videos, new videos goes out and grabs all new content (options for subsets as well if you have multiple lines of interest) rather than whatever youtube is putting the thumb onto. Dodges adults only blocks. Has a nice playlist option. Up to 3x normal speed playback, reasonable usage, plays in background for free, no adverts, sponsorblock is a bit iffy but works well enough. Download options that I have mostly used to add some music (can be audio only if you want).

In some ways that is better than I have things for the PC. Only trouble I have been having is livestreams left as livestreams (some owners will move livestreams from main channel to secondary channels rather than mess with metrics or whatever) are visible but normal ones are not. Suggested videos are also basically a blank account as well so if you rely on that to find new stuff then might be harder.

Since vanced no longer works, is there an alternative to skip ads on YouTube? Thanks.
Vance's doesn't work for you? Still going strong here.

I'll stop using when it finally breaks. That'll be when I try ReVanced.

But even so, I'll probably keep YouTube Music Vance's if it works as usual. Great music app, imo.

I still use YouTube Vanced, but a good alternative is NewPipe. You can use popup and background, and you can also downloaded the videos as both video and audio files, with different extension and kbs. Its down size is that you can't log in into your Google account, all you can do is transfer your subscription list to it, there's a whole process that NewPipe has a how-to guide. Without any ads, of course. You can also use Soundcloud and other platforms, but i only use YouTube so i don't know how well those works.

Vanced no longer works?
I still have it installed and it seems to still work on my end. Maybe it's getting rolled out progressively?
It still works, i'm using it right now, but it's slowly losing its proper functions. I can no longer log in my Google account on it, and some other people does too. Without mentioning that an application without developers taking care of it it'll lose its security, so it'll be unsafe to use it at somepoint.
It seems to be pretty good. Is it open source??

it seems to be working fine. I downloaded an already done version, which is easy to find.

I couldn't log into YouTube Vanced, it said that there's a connection problem, now i have the exactly same problem with Revanced. It could be because Revanced seems to use the exact same MicroG as YouTube Vanced.
Do anyone here know what i could do to solve this?

Not sure about login issues, but there is a known issue with video playback in MicroG right now.
