I’m using NewPipe but some functionalities are lacking. Looked at revanced but unsure about it’s reputation. Also, will I get banned by using a modded YT client? Thanks.

Try LibreTube.

Second. LibreTube has a much better feature set than NewPipe as far as I’ve tried them.

Like Newpipe, it doesn’t support Chromecast / android TV casting from your phone.

I have it and love it! But I still get ads when watching on my phone so I need to juggle between the vanilla client (for casting) and NewPipe (for watching) and wish I could just have one app for both.

Its mostly safe if you compiled it from revanced.app or from github.com/revanced

As for account bans, I’ve been using it after vanced died and my accounts (including that has purchases) wasn’t banned so maybe its a regional thing(?), I can’t 100% tell.

PS: if you decided to give it a try and use your accounts, make sure to use the “vanced” version of microg, idk why but vanilla microg doesnt work with revanced in my experience

Any trusted auto CI build linked to an F-Droid repo for management and update?

The manager/patcher app probably but the actual revanced app itself you’re supposed to patch yourself. I believe this is to sidestep the copyright/redistribution issues with youtube that vanced had

So just a private CI build with a private f-droid repo for the revanced app

Just use Obtanium to download and auto-update directly from GitHub. Obtanium is also available on F-Droid via IzzyOnDroid.

Been used revanced YT and revance YT music for I think around 2 years now.

Perfectly safe as long as you get the manager app from the official sources linked in one of the other comments, and get the original apks to patch from somewhere reputable like apkmirror. That has nothing to do with the reputation of revanced itself, but more to do with the fact that a hacker trying to trick people into installing malware will of course target one of the most popular apps to sideload.

Not banned yet, and I’ve not heard of anyone getting banned across the subreddit or discord server.

I’ve been using revanced for a while now and haven’t noticed any issues other than some of the patches don’t always take.

Every single time I update I have to uninstall and reinstall

Yeah. I do that anyways, though. Patching an installer of an original app is just going to be flakier than a native app is.
