v2.160.10

• Add spoof-client patch
• Rename os-version-check patch to check-android-version patch, and make it a default patch
  • This patch shows a warning if the device is Android 8.0+
• Update translations

Announcement

Starting around May 3rd, a new buffering problem began to occur for some users.
This issue has been fixed with spoof-client patch.
But the setting is not turned on by default.

If you are facing video playback problem, open [Settings > ReVanced settings > Miscellaneous > Spoof client] and turn on [Spoof client] manually.

"Spoof client" option is a workaround, and it contains side effects.
If you are not a target user of the endless loading problem, you don't have to turn on this.

Additional updates may be released in the future to fix side effects.

Sidenote

However, there are two buffering issues.

• Old buffering issue: Video stops at 30-40 seconds and never starts again
• New buffering issue: Video stops at 0-10 seconds, but sometimes video starts again after 1-3 minutes (but the video quality is restricted to 360p and 720p)

"Spoof client" patch fixes the latter.
If you have the former problem, you don't need to turn on "Spoof client".
To fix the old buffering issue, just force stop GmsCore. (Make sure you are using the latest patch version)

v2.160.9

• feat(microg-support): Switch to ReVanced GmsCore to fix playback issues
• Remove spoof-player-parameters because this patch is not needed anymore

Note: From this version, you have to use GmsCore

To fix the recent playback problem "The following content is not available on this app." (#64), the official ReVanced Team released the new MicroG called "GmsCore".
From this patch version, old Vanced MicroG is not supported and you need the new ReVanced GmsCore.

Please download and install ReVanced GmsCore before patch ReVanced.

GmsCore downloads

• ReVanced/GmsCore (Official, Default, Recommended)
• YT-Advanced/GmsCore (More optimized, but this GmsCore crashes on ARMv7 devices. NOT recommended.)
• WSTxda/MicroG-RE (Under developing now)

Then, uninstall the old Vanced MicroG manually.
(Vanced MicroG isn't shown in app drawer by default. Uninstall from Settings > Apps.)

It has a different package name.
• Vanced MicroG: com.mgoogle.android.gms
• ReVanced GmsCore: app.revanced.android.gms
Therefore, you have to uninstall Vanced MicroG manually.

Benefits of GmsCore

No need to use Spoof player parameters anymore, which means now we won't face any side effects like buffering at 1:10, autoplay in feed stops, no seekbar thumbnails, watch history disappear, etc.
I appriciate to ReVanced lead developer oSumAtrIX and NewPipe develop member AudricV for they fixed MicroG issue!
(From the beginning, playback issues like buffering was a MicroG issue. Spoof player parameter was just a workaround of this.)
