If you have an issue thatā€™s not listed here please explain it down in the comments Iā€™ll try to find a fix for it and add it to this guide.

#How to use ReVanced Manager

Check out the official ReVanced Docs to learn how to use it.

#ReVanced Manager aborting

Fix:

#ReVanced Manager aborting on supported versions (ReVanced Manager aborting when patching Instagram or using Universal Patches):

Fix:

When patching an app with a supported version and it doesnā€™t work exclude Universal Patches (Change Package Name, Enable Android Debugging, Export all Activities, Predictive Back Gesture, Remove Screen Capture Restriction, Remove Screenshot Restriction, Spoof Wifi Connection)

Why does this error occur:

Something is going wrong when compiling ressources when you exclude the Universal Patches it doesnā€™t need to Compile ressources because ressource patching is not required so itā€™s not really a fix rather a workaround.

#Patching Tiktok and or Reddit doesnā€™t work:

Reddit:

Before trying to patch Reddit close ReVanced Manager and long press on ReVanced Manager then click on App Info or and ā€œIā€ Icon -> Storage and Cache -> Clear Cache once youā€™ve done that you should be able to patch Reddit without any issues.

TikTok:

Patching with ReVanced Manager wonā€™t work for most people since it aborts because of too less memory. Patching with ReVanced Builder also wonā€™t work since it canā€™t apply the Settings Patch. The only way to patch it is with Revancify and Revancify X when patching it this way the apk will be store in Internal Storage/Revancify or RevancifyX/Tiktok. Or you use any of the following desktop builders Revanced-CLI, Docker-Py-Revanced, Revanced Magisk Module Builder.

#1 minute video buffering issue / Playback Buffering issue (1 minute video then doesn`t load):

Fix on ReVanced Extended:

  • Use the latest supported RVX and MicroG Builds and Enable ā€œSpoof player parameterā€ in Profile picture -> Settings -> ReVanced Extended-> Miscellaneous

  • When patching follow the common steps (Opening the manager, giving permissions, go to ā€œPatcherā€, select ā€œSelect an applicationā€, press ā€œStorageā€ down below, select the downloaded APK, press on ā€œSelected patchesā€ and use the Default option, go back and press ā€œPatchā€)

Fix on ReVanced:

  • Use the latest supported RV and MicroG Builds and Enable ā€œSpoof app signatureā€ in Settings -> ReVanced -> Miscellaneous

  • When patching the common steps (Opening the manager, giving permissions, go to ā€œPatcherā€, select ā€œSelect an applicationā€, press ā€œStorageā€ down below, select the downloaded APK, press on ā€œSelected patchesā€ and use the Default option, go back and press ā€œPatchā€)

Why does this error occur in the first place?

  • It occurs because of an A/B Testing Change, I haven`t been affected by this yet.

What MicroG Builds should you use?

I recommend these (Optional you can still use the OG Vanced Team MicroG Build):

If you donā€™t have a custom ROM installed that doesnā€™t use the official MicroG Build as Google Services then you can also use GmsCore.

#Seekbar Thumpnails not working/showing:

  • RVX: Disable ā€œSpoof Player Parametersā€ in Settings (Settings -> ReVanced -> Misc -> Spoof Player Parameters)

  • ReVanced: Disable ā€œSpoof app signatureā€ in Profile picture -> Settings -> ReVanced -> Misc -> Spoof app signature)

When using RVX and ReVanced Methods you risk getting the 1 minute buffering issue

  • Other ways: Use YT-Advanced Patches (Fork of RVX) this adds back being able to choose the Spoofing Type from Incognito to Shorts in the Settings.

#Unable to select Premium Bitrate Quality Option:

RVX:

  • Settings -> ReVanced Extended -> Video -> Default video quality (Set to 2160p)

ReVanced:

  • Settings -> ReVanced -> Video -> Default video quality (Set to 2160p)

This will force it to always select the highest available quality option. It wonā€™t actually select the premium bitrate quality option since itā€™s server sided it just displays as if it has been selected.

#YT Music Official & RV & RVX & ReX draining battery fast and heating up the phone:

  • Usually turning off the phone for a couple of minutes fixes the draining and heating (Temporary Fix)

#Please check your Network Connection in Account Selection Menu Error:

Fixes:

  • First of all make sure to turn off Battery Optimization for MicroG in Settings -> Apps -> MicroG -> Battery -> Switch to unrestricted
  • Log out of MicroG and log back in
  • Try clearing the App Data of MicroG and log back in. Settings -> Apps -> MicroG -> Storage and Cache -> Clear Data

Reinstalling:

I recommend the following MicroG versions:

#Unable to search for Shorts

ReVanced: Settings ā†’ ReVanced ā†’ shorts components ā†’ turn off ā€œHide shorts in feedā€

RVX: Settings ā†’ ReVanced Extended ā†’ Shorts ā†’ turn off ā€œHide shorts shelfā€

#Youtube crashing on startup or redirecting to a page after patching

  • Make sure to patch full APKs instead of split APKs. Examples for a full and a split apk file:

Full apk file:

It always ends with ā€œ.apkā€ and looks like this on apkmirror

Split apk file:

It can end with ā€œ.apks, .apkm, .aabā€ and looks like this on apkmirror

  • Make sure you have any of the above mentioned microg versions installed

#Watch history isnā€™t being saved

  • This typically happens when having AdAway or a similar adblocker installed and running to fix it just whitelist ā€œs.youtube.comā€ in your adblocker

#The player UI doesnā€™t disappear

Revanced:

  • This issue occurs randomly currently there isnā€™t a fix for it just restart the app and it should go away

RVX:

  • Make sure you donā€™t have it set to never go away in the Accessibility settings. To check, navigate to Settings -> Accessibility. Either disable the Accessibility settings or lower the timer so that it goes away sooner.
  • If the previous step didnā€™t work simply restart the app

#Shorts is gone/visbile

Shorts button:

ReVanced:

  • Disable/Enable Settings -> ReVanced -> Layout -> Navigation button settings -> Hide shorts button.

RVX:

  • Disable/Enable Settings -> Revanced Extended -> Navigation -> Hide shorts button

Shorts in feeds:

ReVanced:

  • Disable/Enable Settings -> ReVanced -> Layout -> Shorts components -> Hide shorts in feed

RVX:

  • Disable/Enable *Settings -> Revanced Extended -> Shorts -> Hide shorts shelf

#Links open in default youtube instead of patched youtube

  • You can fix this by either deleting official youtube or going into ā€œApp Infoā€ on the official youtube and disabling the app to open links by default then you need to go into patched youtube ā€œApp Infoā€ and enable every link to open by default.

#ā€œorg.schabi.newpipeā€ is not installed

  • This is caused because you donā€™t have NewPipe installed make sure to install it here

#Installation is blocked due to conflicting with an existing installation

  • Delete any previous versions of Revanced and try again

#Sponsorblock does not work

  • The servers of Sponsorblock most likely have issues. To check the status please visit the status page.

  • If that didnā€™t work reinstall MicroG or use any of the above mentioned microg versions.

    Part 2 because of character limit:

    #Download Feature isnā€™t working RVX

    • You need to include the ā€œOverlay Buttonsā€ patch.
    • The ReVanced Extended download function is separate from the official YT Premium download feature which is reserved to YT Premium members. The function can be enabled by going into Settings -> Revanced Extended -> Overlay Buttons -> Show download button = On. The download button will appear besides the full screen button in the video player.
    • When you press the download button it will attempt to open YTDLnis so make sure you have it installed.

    #My device doesnā€™t support the Managers

    • Check out this post that explains how you can still use Revanced even though your device doesnā€™t support the managers.

    #ā€œError: Patch is not supported for this app version.ā€

    • Download an apk of the recommended/suggested version and patch that from storage. When downloading make sure to only download from trusted sources like apkmirror, apkpure and uptodown and only using full apks instead of using bundles.

    #ā€œError: Non-root install is not possible with the current patches selection.ā€

    • Make sure to include the ā€œMicroG Supportā€ patch and repatch.

    #ā€œApp not installed.ā€

    • If there was a Google Play Protect pop-up when trying to install it then you need to press ā€œMore Detailsā€ and then tap the ā€œInstall anywayā€ button. If you press the ā€œGot itā€ button it wonā€™t install.

    • Ensure that you have at least 1.5 gigabytes or more free on your device.

    • Uninstall the patched app thatā€™s already installed on your device before trying again. Make sure itā€™s not installed as an alternate user profile or private folder.

    #ā€œApp not installed as package appears to be invalid.ā€

    • Make sure you arenā€™t trying to install an older version that is already installed on your device. Android doesnā€™t officially allow you to downgrade.
