Hi all, just risen from the grave to tell you guys we know vanced.app is down. No ETA on when it'll be back up.

Use the MediaFire mirror in the pinned message for the time being.

(Also, if you guys are having trouble logging into Vanced, you're welcome to join the group chat and help us figure out how to fix it lol.)

Lmfao turns out I’m stupid and I forgot to link the fix (or attempts at fixing, anyways).

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post79419977

Follow that. If you’re still having issues, join the group then.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Site's back up, btw.

(Inb4 this kills it again.)

A new, experimental MicroG update has been released by xfileFIN on Vanced.app!

It‘s meant to address the login issues some of you guys have been facing.

If you faced issues logging into Vanced previously, please test it out (make sure you follow the instructions!) and report back with:

• Android version
• Chrome version
• Android System WebView version
• which MicroG version you used (if it worked)

And post in the XDA thread and/or group chat - both can be found in the pinned message.

New update to 14.21.54 has been released!

=====================

What's new?

- Casting in non-root variant fixed (armills' MicroG pull request)

- Home ads in landscape orientation removed

- Notifications partially fixed (user actions needed, check Vanced settings)

- Login fixed for new WebView (mar-v-in's MicroG update, the "press back button once" workaround no longer needed)

- Snazzy new logo (same as our group and channel icon!)

~~~~~~~

Things to note:

- You need MicroG v0.2.6.17455 for Vanced 14.21.54 and onwards (note that this only applies to non-root).

- Older MicroG versions will not work on 14.21.54 and above, newer MicroG versions will not work on 14.10.53 or lower.

- MicroG settings to get notifications to work is located in Vanced settings. Be sure to follow the instructions within to get notifications working.

~~~~~~~

Known issues:
(From Logan's XDA post)

- Force close (non-root): If you're having this issue, uninstall MicroG and Vanced. Then install MicroG first, and then install Vanced.

- Force close when opening cast menu (non-root): This is an issue with your Substratum theme. Grab a logcat and forward it to your theme dev.

- "Unable to connect" or "Connection error" (non-root): You're using the newer version of Vanced but you didn't update MicroG. So update MicroG.

- White splash screen: This issue is due to YouTube making the splash screen correspond to your system's dark mode flag. If you're using non-root, update to the May 30th build. For everyone else, wait for an update.

- Notifications not working (root variant, maybe non-root as well?): Not a Vanced issue, blame your system's battery optimization. Disable battery optimization for Vanced (instructions to do so for your specific OEM can be found on Google or dontkillmyapp.com)

Please note that the Vanced team will never ask for donations. Please be wary of any sites or users that claim to be part of the Vanced team and ask for your money.

Be careful y'all 😊.

Yes, Vanced.app is currently down. Yes, we know it’s down. No, we don’t know when it’ll be back up.

Please use the mirrors in the pinned message or in the XDA thread until the site comes back up.

It's back up, in case you didn't realise.

Just some quick updates:

Yes, it’s known that the site is down. The host found that the site was taking too many resources on his server, so he took it down for the time being. Use the official mirrors in the pinned message/XDA thread OP.

No, the app is not dead. It’s still being developed in private, but the devs have lives and there’s some issues with the Vanced mods in later YouTube version, so development is slow going. More info:
