OGYoutube or any alternative

[samir362019]

Hi everyone, i truly know so few about this and i wish if you could advise me

For couple of years been using OGYoutube with no issues until i had to reset my phone to factory few days ago (Galaxy note 9 - unrooted as far as i know since i got it brand new). I truly failed every single time although i watched countless videos on Youtube nothing seems to work, tried also with Youtube Vanced and i'm stuck, had to reset it again to factory and i truly donna wanna use the normal Youtube app. Question is:

Could you please provide working links and steps on how to download and install OGYoutube /or Youtube Vanced /or any other alternative for youtube? Please note that i'm also struggling to uninstall Youtube app as it come installed from factory into my Note 9. Thanks very much

Hi, it explains yes but I can't find link to download APK, it recommends to go to what it calls XDA page but then i can't tell where to download APK from there

NewPipe is another alternative

I find NewPipe to be the best Youtube replacement.

It is available on F-Droid.

If Youtube is a preinstalled app on a nonrooted phone, all you can do is disable it.
This will put it back to the original version that it was when the phone was new.

Disabling it also prevents it from turning itself on and from running in the background.

You can then set NewPipe as your app to open Youtube links.

The first time you click on a Youtube link (like in your browser or some other app) your device will ask you what app to open the link with, and then give you the choices of 'just once' or 'always'.

Its been years since I installed YouTube Vanced but if I remember correctly you would have to go to YouTube in settings and force stop, clear catche and data then unistall updates or aomethimg to that effect. Couldn't give you proper advice. Thats best left to someone better qualified than I, Just quote ocnbrze in this thread, Hes really smart and you can trust his advice
and I didnt realize YouTube Vanced was crashing .
Oh, I read the previous post that YouTube Vanced was working perfectly. My lol was because I thought you still downloaded Newpipe anyway. So if I understand correctly, you clicked a link? My link???

You can also download APKMirror app if you choose to but its not necessary. F-Droid is all you realy need to download NewPpipe.

YouTube Vanced is the best as an alternative.

I hate it because you also have to have Micro G, and you can't download if you are signed in.

Just not worth all the hassle to have two apps.

NewPipe is better.
