Troubleshooting regarding ReVanced manager issues
#
2.1. ReVanced manager does not install
Not enough storage space, check that you have ≥1GB to be on the safe side
Bad APK, download again
#
2.2. What is the latest supported / suggested Youtube apk version?
In ReVanced manager > patcher > select application, it tells you the latest supported / suggested YouTube version to patch
#
2.3. Where can I get the YouTube APK?
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/
Make sure you got the version marked APK and nodpi, not the one marked BUNDLE
#
2.4. How to export keystore
This is a new feature from version 0.1.0. Go to ReVanced manager > settings > scroll down to import & export > export keystore
If you have an older version (≤0.0.57), you will need to go to Android/data/app.revanced.manager.flutter/files
and get the keystore there.
#
2.5. How to import keystore
This is a new feature from version 0.1.0. Go to ReVanced manager > settings > scroll down to import & export > import keystore
If you have an older version (≤0.0.57), you will need to go to Android/data/app.revanced.manager.flutter/files
and dump your keystore there.
#
2.6. Cannot update ReVanced manager
If you have manager version ≥0.1.0, follow the above steps on exporting the keystore. Then, install the new version and import the old keystore back in.
Delete existing ReVanced manager and install the new one.
#
2.7. Cannot select YouTube APK to patch
If you have manager version ≥0.1.0, follow the above steps on exporting the keystore. Then, install the new version and import the old keystore back in.
Delete existing ReVanced manager and install the new one.
#
2.8. ReVanced manager still shows update available when I am on latest?
Deleted as outdated
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager/issues/805
TL;DR: that is a known harmless bug, ignore it and don't update
#
2.9. Non-root install not possible?
Select GmsCore support
patch in the patches selection menu.
If you cannot find it, use the search function and search for "GmsCore". If it is greyed out, it means that you have used an incompatible version.
#
2.10. Cannot find/select patch <insert patch name here>?
Your selected app version was incompatible. Use the Suggested version.
#
2.11. What patch should I select?
Select the default/recommended ones. When you are in the select patches window, you can click the "default" or "recommended" button on the top. You can review the defaults, but don't exclude patches that you don't know what it means. It is probably needed. Don't worry about functions that you may not like, you can disable them in-app later.
DO NOT SELECT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PATCHES OR YOU WILL RISK HAVING ISSUES:
Change package name
Change version code
Enable Android debugging
Export all activities
Hex
Override certificate pinning
Predictive back gesture
Remove screen capture restriction
Remove screenshot restriction
Spoof wifi connections
Spoof SIM country
Spoof Wi-Fi connection
You can disable the following patches safely. I have tested them:
Disable auto captions
Hide player overlay
Hide seekbar
Hide timestamp
Wide search bar
#
2.12. Cannot select patch?
Click the "Selected Patches" box
#
2.13. Import patches selection
Go to ReVanced manager > settings > scroll down to import & export > Import patches selection. Select the downloaded JSON file just now. You now have the same set of patches mine.
#
2.14. ReVanced manager aborting / exit code 135 / exit code 139 / ARMv7 devices
If you see the text "exit code = 135" or "exit code = 139", then your devices architecture is not supported.
You are probably using ARMv7. ReVanced Manager has support for ARMv7 since v1.21.0
. Update ReVanced Manager and try again.
If that doesn't work, you can patch on a computer with the revanced-cli
(official), Taku's auto-cli
(Very Easy) or revanced-builder
.
#
2.15. ReVanced manager does not select APK
Symptoms: after clicking select an application > YouTube, nothing happened and it goes back to the patcher tab without selecting any apps
You probably are not using the stable version of ReVanced manager. Do the following to get it fixed:
- Follow section 2.4 to export the keystore
