Beginner Friendly Revanced Manager Guide

By on

Revanced is the continuation of project Vanced. 
Youtube has been continuously deteriorating the user experience even of the paying users. Even though you have premium subscription of youtube, you can't get very good experience from the app due to terrible design decisions made by youtube. And then comes Revanced, adding the quality of life features like adblock, sponsorblock, return youtube dislike and many more.

Here I made a very beginner friendly guide to install youtube revanced. Follow through the step by step method.

A few things to note before we begin:
  • This guide is for non-rooted devices but will work on rooted devices
  • Perform all of these steps from your phone
  • If you already have Vanced installed, uninstall it as it doesn't work anymore
  • This guide is for YouTube, but the same steps apply to other supported apps (See here for the list of supported apps)
  • If you downloaded a pre-made version of YouTube ReVanced from a website, uninstall it as it's not official and likely to contain malware
  • The official website for ReVanced is https://revanced.app
  • This is not the official guide, but you can find the official guide here
Build and Install YouTube ReVanced APK:
  1. Download and install the latest ReVanced Manager APK
  2. Open the manager and go to Patcher --> Select an application --> Search for YouTube
  3. Tap on Suggested: vXX.XX.XX
  4. This will Google for the YouTube APK
  5. Choose the result that's from APKMirror and has (nodpi) in the title
  6. Download this APK
  7. Once it's downloaded, go back into the manager
  8. Tap on Select an application and then tap Storage
  9. You may be prompted to give ReVanced Manager access to your storage, so say yes to this
  10. Select the YouTube APK you downloaded
  11. Tap Patch
  12. Wait a while for YouTube ReVanced to build
  13. Once it's done, tap Install
  14. You may get a warning saying the app install has been blocked by Play Protect
  15. This is normal because the app is not from the Play Store and can be safely ignored by tapping More details then Install anyway
  16. If the install failed, tap the save icon in the bottom left
  17. Save the APK to your downloads folder
  18. Open your file browser app of choice, find the APK and install it
  19. Now open YouTube ReVanced
  20. You should get a message telling you that MicroG is not installed and you will be redirected to download and install it
  21. This is required for you to be able to log into your YouTube account
  22. Open YouTube ReVanced again and you should now be able to follow the wizard to log in
  23. If you don't get a prompt for this, open the MicroG app and log into your YouTube account
  24. Done!
Your Install Failed:
  • If you're having difficulty with installing ReVanced, try a clean start
  • You can do this by uninstalling the following:
  1. ReVanced Manager
  2. YouTube ReVanced
  3. MicroG
  • Once you've cleaned everything out, follow the guide again from the top
  • If it still failed, check if you have enough storage on your phone (you need at least 2GB of free space for the manager to work)
Manager Updates:
  • The manager will light up the Update manager button when an update is available
  • Tapping this will download the update and prompt you to install it
  • If this fails, follow this link to the official manager APK
  • Download and install it
  • This will update your installed version
  • This should resolve your manager issues
YouTube ReVanced Updates:
  • OK so you're patched and up to date, now what?
  • Check back in the manager for updates once a week or so
  • In the dashboard you can see when the manager and patches were updated
  • If these are newer than your installed version, you should update
  • Updating is the exact same process as installing, so just follow the guide again from the top
  • Just bear in mind that the YouTube version may change so you may need to download the new APK
  • If you have a GitHub account you can set up notifications for the patches repo to get emailed when there's a new release
