Never got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a time..
Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, so..
I'll just leave this here
https://grayjay.app/
have 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 don't have to uninstall the original youtube.
Yep. And if I hadn't, that would be the first advice the documentation would give me lol
That's 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 weren't downloading the APK bundle? Revanced can't patch those
Yes, I'm sure.
Did you make sure to turn on the "GmsCore Support" patch? (I think it used to be called "MicroG Support".) You have to enable that patch on unrooted devices in order for the app to work.
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 it'd throw one of several errors, depending on where in the process it ran out of memory.
Supposedly they've fixed this issue with the latest update to ReVanced Manager, which included a new patching process, but I haven't had a chance to test it.
Edit: Also, did you use the default patch selections? While there are other patches available to select and deselect, using anything other than the default selections can sometimes make things a little unstable. I once ran into an issue with patching, and the solution was just... reset the patch selection to just use the default patches. And it suddenly worked.
I remember revanced stopped working and I ended up getting premium because it wouldn't work on iPad anyway.
Are there any alternatives now?
Well I've been using NewPipe until the above incident and now I'm trying out a fork of it called PipePipe. On my tv, I'm using SmartTube
I haven't had this issue with newpipe yet but maybe it's because I'm just watching video game facts and ROM hack videos for games I'll never play.
