Just like the title says; I’m interested in being able to sleep to YouTube without ads, but I don’t fuck with their business practices and they don’t deserve my money. Unfortunately, I’m also a very inexperienced pirate and I’m unsure where to look.

Edit: for clarity I’m using a OnePlus 7 Pro with earbuds

    Not true. Untick MicroG component when installing and select root install. It runs on stock Google setup same as standard YT app.

      Statistically speaking most people here are running on an unrooted Android device.

      Thus, giving a slightly more advanced answer going over the Root Install method is mostly useless.

      Either way, I’ve been doing this for 8 years, I know what I am talking about.

      Really lmao? It was requiring root because google won’t give your app with different package name the account details. Which android version and is original youtube pre installed/still there?

            I have an uprooted Fold 3 with both stock YT and ReVanced installed with no issues other than I sometimes open the wrong one via app redirects.

              Interesting. But that would mean google play services is giving all apps to access accounts, which is probably bad. And that was the exact reason why microg building for non root existed.
