Update - 11/28/2017
After recent events I've decided to discontinue this module.
You must now use the official stuff instead.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
Note: To avoid any issues within Magisk you must fully uninstall this module prior getting the official one.
Disclaimer:
Code:
So yeah, I'm not responsible for any hardware damages,
device not booting up, data loss or whatever.
You must know what are you doing.
Backup everything important before flashing stuff!!
Background:
- Magisk allows us to get systemless root access, also to add modules to enhance our Android experience overall.
- YouTube Background Playback is (was?) a beloved Xposed module that nowadays is not possible to have in Nougat or above.
- There are already a couple of these modules here in XDA, but I decided to build my own and share it with you guys.
Requirements:
- Android 5.0+
- Rooted device.
- Magisk 14.0
- Magisk Manager 5.3.0
- To know your device's architecture.
Installation:
- Disable your current YouTube app in Settings (if any).
- Choose your architecture (ARM, ARM64, x86 or x64).
- Install within Magisk Manager (Magisk -> Modules -> "+" -> Choose downloaded zip from storage -> Reboot when prompted).
- Disable automatic Play Store updates. Or you can use @hinxnz's Detach mod to stop PS notifications once and for all.
- Profit!
Updating:
- Just flash again the module in Magisk/recovery and reboot.
Note:
All YouTube apks are no-dpi, so they are compatible with any screen size.
Bugs:
- Some users are reporting that after installing module and rebooting, YouTube is not there and module shows as "pending" in Magisk. Flashing in recovery fixes this in most cases.
- This module does not break SafetyNet, so don't try to hide it from any app or you may get errors.
- After flashing the module YouTube app does not show in drawer. Re-enabling app in Settings -> Apps might work.
- YouTube FC. Make sure your ROM does not theme the app itself, i.e. using Substratum. Disable theming and try again.

Requirements:

- Rooted device.
- Magisk 12 and above.
- Magisk Manager 4 and above.
- To know your device's architecture.
Installation:
- Uninstall/deactivate any existing YouTube app.
- Choose your architecture (ARM, ARM64, x86, x64).
- Install within Magisk Manager.
- Reboot when prompted.
- Enjoy!
Bugs:
Not a bug per-se, but YouTube's base apk may be a couple of versions behind Play Store's one.
Play Store will ask for an update. If you update by this method, you will loose your current perks.
There are "fixes" for this, i.e. using Titanium Backup to detach the app from P.S., it may stop working after a while.

disable battery optimization for the app.. tw1st3d83 was replayed this in thread
go in settings>battery>more settings>optimize battery(somethink like that, i use different language not eng in rom)>show all apps>music> dont optimize
same to viper
my bad.... thouth that you use RR
for stock emui5 go in settings>battery and there will be option to close apps when screen is off. Go in and uncheck viper and now app will not close after you lock phone
V4A not working.
@Meticulus will probably fix call issues soon since muting calls are impossible.
How to fix usual bugs?
Can't see phone dialer when calling someone?
Go to settings -> Default Apps -> Phone -> Set Phone app as default.
Fingerprint force close? Can't add a new FP?
Go to settings -> Privacy -> Lock screen method -> Select PIN or Password.
(It's because you can't use a gesture lock screen for fingerprint)
Google Pixel launcher doesn't show notifications for new messages/ missed calls/ etc.
Well that's because Pixel devices don't support badge icon counter. You may find something in play store or use Nova Launcher instead or something.
Viper4Android doesn't work?
Flash Magisk 14 from Extras in Meticulus TWRP.

I just flashed this great ROM following the instructions and I'm facing this phone bug
I'm not sure about the first point: The standard phone app is set but I cant't see the phone dialer when calling someone nor hear him. Is there a workaround?
THX in advance.
Finally my solution was to enable 3G for phone calls. Everything is fine now.
Hello all. This rom is very good and I'm using it for a while now, the only problem is that it seems I can't go past 4h of sot. Does anyone know why that's happening?

You need to change your habits... Uninstall apps that you do not use, uninstall any magisk or xposed modules that do not use etc...
Im getting around 6h of sot after changing my habits and uninstalling unnecessary apps and sh*t
Rom is really amazing!
Hi guys,
Unlike on nougat, Xposed installs and works just fine on 8.1.
Install zip in twrp. It takes a while to reboot. Install apk, open app. It says not activated. Reboot.
Once done, you can download the modules. Granted only a few work, it's still better than nothing. I have greenify and double tap status bar to sleep working.
You can search Oreo in the download section for the mods that work on Oreo.
Waiting and hoping for gravity box Oreo.
Download arm64 zip and apk. Cheers.

Old module or the one developer is reviving? I have no idea about the revival one but old one working on my 6p. You could try the option in gravity box Oreo.
can someone pls explain wtf is goin on with xposed... it showing installed and if i close the app then after few minutes again opening it, its showing not installed.. and after few minutes or a reboot if i open the app it's showing installed... pls help me with this ****.. btw m usin ViperOS android 9.0... installed 2 zip file for sdk 28 then installed the xposed installer...
HELP pls..
According to your screenshots you're using two different apps. I assume the second shot is from the standard rovo89 Xposed Installer? I wouldn't think that it would necessarily work with EdXposed but could be wrong. Either way, why use the second if the first works fine (and I expect recommended).

Active Edge Mod for Pixel Devices - allows you to customize the side sensor buttons. I have it set up to the default Google assistant except when the camera is open - then it takes a picture.
Viper4 AndroidFX - there are several versions available. They all use the same driver and have the same options. The difference is is only in the GUI.
Vanced Youtube - provides ad free Youtube experience.
Advanced Charging Controller (by VR25) - allows a user to customize how and when the phone is charged. It helps prolong the battery life.
Systemless Hosts - more of a Magisk setting, but it does install this module. Allows ad blocking through Adaway or similar ad blocking app.

the active edge guy is SUPER on the ball and posts updated versions in his telegram group if you're that way inclined. but yeah youtube vanced is my only functioning module right now. i'm sure most of them will be updated for Q in the coming months.
I'm a fan of energized pro for ad blocking, but you'll need the systemless hosts and BusyBox modules for it to work. These days I root my phone mainly for ad blocking.
for Vanced Youtube, is there a different module needed for it to work? I installed it in my Pixel 3a Rooted/Bootloader unlock, and the app was not even showing up

I don't think you need to uninstall the actual Youtube app, but you do need to uninstall any "updates" for the Youtube app. I've found that after installing the Magisk module, I can go into the Playstore and pull up the Youtube app. There will be a "uninstall updates" button where the normal uninstall button would be. However you need to install the module first. Otherwise the button will uninstall the app instead of uninstalling the updates.
That's been my experience at least.....

Yes. You have to install V4A FX v2.7.0.0 because v2.7.1.0 driver installation is broken on Q for now.

Here you have the APK. Install it and then the driver installation should install the magisk module.
I have the 2.7.1.0 version of Viper4Android installed and working just fine on Android 10. It was installed and working on Android 9 and it continued to work when I upgraded to Android 10. I sideloaded the .020 version of the Android 10 OTA image.
The Magisk module was last updated on May 31, 2019, so it obviously hasn't specifically been updated for Android 10. Perhaps it won't install on Android 10, but will work if upgraded from Android 9. I also have the Audio Modification Library module and the Audio Compatibility Patch module installed as well. Perhaps that makes a difference?????
