Edit: Vanced no longer seems to be functional, so the guide below most likely will not work anymore.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Note: If you are unable to install/use YT Vanced, you can also go for YT ReVanced, the "true" successor of YT Vanced.
To install it just download microG from the guide below, install that and then install the revanced apk from https://revanced.io/
********************************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE: Vanced Manager appears to be working again as of November 2022, so you can now just install YouTube Vanced normally the way you would prior to its shutdown by following any guide.
Just download Vanced Manager from https://vancedmanager.com/ and follow the on screen steps.
********************************************************************************************************************************
MANUAL INSTALLATION GUIDE:
There really isn't much to guide you on regarding this topic, as it's really simple.
First of all, we'll need to grab the correct files.
The first link is for vanced microg, this will allow you to sign into youtube vanced. You will not be able to sign in with your google account if you do not install vanced microg.
The second link is the youtube vanced apkm file, which will be installed using apkmirror's split/bundle apk installer, which is the third link.
All of these files are from APKMirror, which is a trusted source. All of these APKs are the latest versions prior to the shutdown of yt vanced.
1. Vanced MicroG.apk
2. YouTube Vanced.apkm
3. APKMirror Installer (Google Play Link)
Installation Instructions: (none of these steps are optional, including microG)
1. Install Vanced MicroG by clicking on it and installing it as you would install any ordinary apk.
2. Download the YouTube Vanced.apkm file.
3. Install the APKMirror Installer from the Play Store, then open it the app.
4. Click on browse files, the vanced apkm file should be there. Wait for a couple of seconds or minutes so that the files data can be loaded.
DO NOT EXIT THE APP FROM HERE ON UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE
5. Click on the YouTube Vanced.apkm file, now just follow the on screen instructions to install YouTube Vanced. When prompted, click on Install by watching an Ad, also allow installation from unkown source (apkmirror app) when prompted.
6. Wait for the app to prompt you that the installation has been completed successfully.
Thats it! Enjoy YouTube Vanced despite it's shutdown, it must be noted however that after a certain period of time, this last build before shutdown will become outdated, and so you will miss out on new features and eventually it may become unsupported altogether as the YouTube app progresses ahead in updates.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Troubleshooting:
Q. The APKMirror installer gets stuck on installing and it doesn't finish.
A: This may happen on older devices or devices with less ram, I suggest closing background apps and/or maybe restarting your device and then trying again, or just try waiting again as it can take quite long if you have outdated or weaker hardware.

You need to install the vanced microg apk before installing vanced via the apkmirror installer. It won't work without microg.
Thank YOU for real!!! Been trying all day to find a work around and there it is. Been waiting for my YouTube data to download to try another app but that didn't work. I suggest removing microg and installing it dead last. Not sure if it was just bugged on my mi11 or not. But it wasn't working for me however I went about it.

My guess, Xiaomis security is blocking your install. Turn off antivirus crap and try again
Thanks a lot for this post. Just picked up a new phone and had no idea vanced had been discontinued
Installed today. I confirm that this method is still working. Thank you
That microG install isn't working for me, for some reason. It says it installed, but it's not actually on the phone afterward.

You don't see it in the app drawer like other apps, you simply have to enter vanced youtube and do the login. The app will login with microg instead of regular google account
I had to reboot before I was able to log in to Vanced.
Just an FYI Vanced is still working as of 09-06-22. I also don't have the latest version of Vanced either, I have 15.05.54. So if the latest version isn't working try this one.

Do you mean the 9th of june, or the 6th of September? Oh how I hate those dumb illogical american imperial notations. Just use logic; Short to long, i.e. the day, the month, the year. Don't get me started on AM/PM. Just so silly. Such a waste of time. Who needs it? I mean, what time would 12 PM be, ey? 24h time please.

I don't know considering it was posted on the 6th day of September I'm going to say probably sometime in June..... Yeah definitely June, has to be, no other logical reason could possibly explain why someone would post a date on the exact same day, has to be 3 months prior . So difficult to figure out, imperial is way to hard to grasp.

Still, if you look at it that way, even your 22 could have been a date, not a year. June 22, 2009.
the last release of vanced (the one i've linked here in the main post) is still working. @dgunn 's version will stop working before this one (if it is not the latest) as when google updates youtube, older versions become unsupported at the same time. maybe it's different for vanced, and instead, because it was developed by a 3rd party, it will never stop working; but you wont be able to get any new features which will be on the youtube app in the future as vanced cant update.

Can confirm it works still. Use it daily. And I'll take adfree with no extra features any day for my music and vids over the other.
Thanks for this thread, I have been wanting to install Vanced on my new headunit in my car and will go ahead and give this a shot. I still have an old version on my phone that works perfectly fine. I am really not sure what new "Features" are possibly getting added into the app that I need to worry about losing...like literally none when have they ever implemented any real new features? I'd much rather have ad free content and ability to have playback in the background.
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to have such a newbie question . I'm learning . And thank u again
Thanks., work great on my 1+8pro running A13

So I have vanced YouTube as magesik module installed, play protect is turned off, do not auto update is on, when I update my other apps YouTube is left out. But still every few days YouTube gets updated anyways, any idea what is doing the update and how to stop it?
It always does that, and we all know it's annoying. I guess we'll just have to deal with it until someone / Google fixes it, which they probably won't, might I add.
What about do not check for updates option, or disabling Google play when not needed?
What you could do is make YouTube Vance's a system app so if it does update you can just uninstall updates and go back to vanced.
or what you could do and i honestly prefer is to disable youtube app and install vanced no root version and it will of course never update plus you have the chance to re enable original app if you want to and both youtubes will co exist .
Sorry for offtopic question, but how to install vanced YouTube magisk module since it is not showing up in magisk manager now

You can try disabling the option for auto update by clicking on the three dot option when YouTube is viewed in playstore
You Can dissable youtube in oos seting, if it dissable no update. And install vanced no root version.

I was also curious, I just copied APK from older phone that still had it. So it seems they got their own app now called vanced manager that lets you install root and nonroot
Actually I found a way. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Detach
And youtube is vanced without microg, no longer showing in update
This is what I do, idk if it's helpful to you anymore but here it is.
I get Vanced Manager and install the root version of youtube.
Then I install xXx No Limits ROM and use it to detach YouTube from Play store.
Profit.

Hey everyone, I got the P40 Pro recently and I like the device a lot but I'm just wondering what I should be using as a YouTube replacement? I've currently been navigating to the website every time which seems to be a bit long winded but it isn't a dealbreaker. If anyone has a better suggestion I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Im using youtube vanced and it's working
YouTube Vanced is the only solution as far as I know. Very easy to install and works well.
Instructions here, by @asuraaaa
asuraaaa said:
Hello,
I have google play services installed on my phone.
I have used these files Micro G and Youtube Vanced.
First I install Micro G and then Youtube Vanced.
I go to the Micro G settings, or through Settings -> Applications -> Show system applications or entering the app from your application drawer, then I give the icon in the upper right corner (image below) and there disable you are 2 options (image below), and then when entering the Youtube Vanced app, let us link to our gmail account.
Notes:
If after you entered email and password it is just loading, to fix it:
go to apps, find YouTube Vanced -> Force Stop -> Clear Data
back - Show system processes
find MicroG -> Force Stop -> Clear Data, disable again the two options.
back
Load again YTVanced app and try to login.

Hi there,
The most recent way of installing Youtube Vanced is even simpler.
1. Just go to vanced.app and download Vanced Manager
2. Open it and you will see two buttons for installing latest MicroG and latest Youtube Vanced. Install them but don't open Youtube Vanced yet.
3. Add your google account in MicroG and only afterwards you can start using Youtube Vanced.
(Also you can update from Vanced Manager)
That's it.
Some YouTube Vanced seems to be what everyone recommends. I've never actually used it before. Is the layout etc basically just the same as standard YouTube app?

Just try it. I never used the original one.
With vanced music can run in the background, there are no advertisements and I think it looks the same..
And of course you can turn off the screen while listening to music.
Yeah, so after breaking my head trying to upgrade I finally did it via Dload. Gapps were lost so I decided to give it a try without them.
For YouTube I use Youtube Vanced, just install Micro G from their website and Login, then install YT vanced and you are good to go.
Maps work without login in, Gmail you can access it via the stock email.
So I really don't need any Google services more.
For downloading apps I'm using Aurora Store which is very very good and all apps are there.
I'm now on. 176 Oct security patch with no Gapps. Amd I'm doing incredibly well. Maybe you guys can too.

@atrix_noob you are absolutely right I recommend the same because 1- and to install them after a lot of effort something will not work properly and you do not know how much it will work! 2- since everything is done with the above that you mention and 70% of the applications go through and are installed just fine in the system and everything works properly. In fact, there is life without Google play

Agree, I'm using my phone the way I use it every day even wihtout gapps so it's very normal.
Im using it that way since day one. If u need some apps that require gms install VMOS Pro.
As the title says, i have changed google password on my tablet, and since I am logged with same account on my P40 pro, it automatically popped up "account action required" on my phone.
I have downgraded to .131 long time ago, installed google play services and updated to .176. Is there a way to "log in" again without completely wiping my phone?
When I log in right now, it just sends me to main screen but notification doesn't go away as in, I didn't log in.
Thanks in advance.

How did you install the play services? if you used googlifyer and its still on your device, you can simply use that to uninstall all the google components and then re-install them.

So long as googlifyer was on when you upgraded it should be fine.
Ive got EMUI 11 - Chinese G doesnt work anymore, but googlifyer sucessfully stripped and reinstalled all the google play framework etc... for me on the weekend.
If you have problems after Google password changes, use this tutorial ... it works, I used it successfully.
Usually, the upgrade of EMUI keeps GMS without problems.

Thank you very much for your message. I don't have EMUI 11. I still have EMUI 10 on *.174 version. Googlefier application is here but once i run it, it asks for me to uninstall updated backup and install old in order to be able to install chinese G application. I can't pass that step unfortunately. However thanks for your help.

Thanks for your input and help. I checked this video but however this video didn't help me. EMUI there he has is *.154 and microG won't login unfortunately for me. I know how everything goes, but i want to try to avoid wiping my phone.
I have installed YouTube Vanced and MicroG on P40 pro (with GMS, older method, not Googlefier) and Mate40 pro (without GMS).
On P40 pro I was on .176, if I'm not mistaken ... (before to upgrade on EMUI 11).
Install Vanced manager, MicroG first, then YouTube Vanced (very important), don't open nothing, on MicroG settings uncheck Google Cloud Messaging, then Google device registration (in this order), open YouTube Vanced and login with your gmail ... (I guess it's about Vanced, not normal MicroG).

After second try, this worked for me magically, you are the man! Thank you very very much!
What I did is: delete google play services and follow guide on this video from minute 07:10. Followed the guide and this time works like a charm.
I'm glad I was able to help.
All that matters is to follow the steps exactly.
Does anyone know why it is not possible to log in to vanced you tube on Poco X3 pro? It is on Xiaomi.EU rom and can use the vanced YT app smile not logged in but there is always an error when I try to log in.
I believe you have to install MicroG ontop (?) of Gapps to make that work. I use Vanced Manager on a Samsung phone without root.
Yes, there is no way to install it unless you have vanced micro g installed first. I also have it running fine on an un-rooted Xiaomi tablet. It's just that for some reason, whilst it works on the X3 pro you cannot log in to your account.
I have vanced install with microg on my Poco X3 Pro with Xiaomi.eu 12.5 and it works well, I'm able to log in to my account.
So maybe try to reinstall everything?
I've skipped Youtube Vance as i don't use it that often anymore.
i Use Firefox with Addblock and Background playback addon. does almost the same.
Yes I will try this. Hopefully will with this time.

This sounds interesting I will look into it...
It seemed to work fine on my end (xiaomi.eu), maybe try installing MicroG and then the rest?
There is a problem I think because I am supervising this device in Google family link. So I tried installing everything again and this time there was a message saying I need to install play services 8.6 minimum and have Android version 5.1 minimum both of which are obviously installed. I think it is probably time to give up...
I assume you downloaded from
"https://vancedapp.com" . I think you should first install vanced manager first to see all components are installed and updated.
I am using Indian version of X3 pro and everything runs fine for me.
Yes I'm pretty sure it's related to the fact I have family link supervising the device
