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.

    What issues do you have with ReVanced? It works great! The only thing that’s kind of a pain in the ass is that if you’re rooted using KernelSU, you have to repatch the app every time you reboot. Fortunately I usually only reboot once a month when the new OTA gets released for my phone.

      I’ve had issues that I’ve been able to work around.

      I have previously had the error, “settings could not be applied”, which I worked around by uninstalling my YouTube updates, installing the recommended version and clearing revanced manager data. I now get an error about not being able to load the original APK. I work around this by deleting the two apks in /data/abd/vanced before patching.

      I’m rooted and have to repatch on each reboot. Not complaining, just want to share my experience in case it helps others.

      I love revanced, and feel so thankful for it. I can’t afford YT premium, without revanced I would miss out on so much great content.

        Sounds very much like my experience: a wonderful project, but not without its flaws that are kind of annoying, but not a big deal for the price. :)
