    have you tried revanced manager? i typically just download revanced manager, pop over to apkmirror and get the recommended version (in this case 19.43.41), downloading the v8 package, going back into revanced manager and clicking storage, selecting the apk, and then letting it run. if you select the custom branding patch you don’t have to uninstall the original youtube.

      Yep. And if I hadn’t, that would be the first advice the documentation would give me lol

      That’s what I did, but it refused to patch. Tried every possible thing, but it just refused to work.

      NewTube, on the other hand, worked perfectly immediately.
