That preferably allows you to login. I prefer watching videos from my suggestions, not subscriptions. So that's a must for me.

With these revanced guys there's always some fuckin hoop or hurdle, the biggest being their lack of armv7 support. Now the reisxd builder is archived and broken, and the v4 builder isn't public yet. Really poorly managed project honestly, I'm done with it.

If you're on a phone, try Newpipe. If it is AndroidTV, there's only one - SmartTube.

Worth noting you can export your subscriptions on NewPipe so you can bring them to other platforms.

On PC you can you use Individious

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That you can use on any device. But OP wants his suggestions, so it’s out of the question

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I get that. I wasn't suggesting Invidious. I was saying NewPipe is a good option because you can port your subscriptions to other platforms.

You don't need to start fresh every time you start using an open source alternative.

That said it would work in OP's situation because it's pretty much platform agnostic and there are available apps to make it easier to use on the Play Store. I still think NewPipe is the way to go though because it's designed for Android.

Try building from the revanced manager, it should allow you to login. Also, install microg.

It might be time to retire it then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't retire perfectly good hardware just because some of the software is too different to support it. You find alternatives so that you aren't contributing to the wasteful bullshit that is forced obsolescence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Is that even possible with older iPads etc? Seems like once they go out of support there's nothing you can do.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

just use Firefox with ublock bro can't go wrong

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Try NewPipe

IIRC Isn't the Armv7 support limitation just for Revanced Manager? Just build the version you need on your computer using revanced-cli.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Worked beautifully. God awful documentation as always with this team, but I managed it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I've been trying to figure what's up with that. There used to be really nice guides written on the github but it looks like they're gone now for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think they're purposefully making the barrier to entry high. It's really fucking annoying but at least it's there and it works. Been kinda harsh in this post but they deserve props for that at least.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hence OP's mention of the builder being broken and archived. The actual documentation of the cli is functionally non-existent, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's the reisxd builder, I thought revanced cli was the same thing but it isn't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can confirm, I'm currently on an Armv7 device and built revanced using the CLI. Has been running smoothly for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh I thought that was the reisxd builder. Thanks mate

Invidious, find one instance that allows user registration (don't use your Google account info)
