Install the original stock YouTube app. + *Make sure you have the correct version installed before proceeding.* +1. Install the module and wait for it to patch the YouTube app. + *This might take a while.* + *Please refrain from doing anything else on your device in the meantime.* +1. Go into the Google Play Store and disable automatic app updates for YouTube. +1. Reboot + +## Concept + +In most legislations it is illegal to redistribute modified software +without consent of the copyright holder. + +For example: +The Windows modding community isn't allowed to distribute modified Windows ISOs +but is allowed to distribute a patcher, +which the user can download to patch their geniune Windows ISO. + +The same concept can be applied to ReVanced. +Redistributing magisk modules with the patched YouTube APK is not legal. +But we are totally fine distributing the patcher +and letting the user patch the original APK on his own. + +This module automates exactly this. +You, the user, download the original YouTube APK yourself. +This module will patch the installed YouTube APK during installation +**right on your device**.
