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Deleted as outdated

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:

  1. Follow section 2.4 to export the keystore
  2. Delete existing ReVanced manager, and the ReVanced manager APK file you downloaded before.
  3. Install the latest stable version of ReVanced manager here. Do not use the one you downloaded before.
  4. Follow section 2.5 to import the keystore
